Have you ever wondered why some people may be able to understand God's truth while others can't?

Jesus Said in Mark 4:11-12 :
“To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, so that "Seeing they may see and not perceive,And hearing they may hear and not understand;

Then verse 12 the last thing He says is.
Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them."

People of God, we see here that only those who were close to jesus were given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God and not those who were outside (the unbelievers those who hardened their hearts.)

Being close to Jesus means to have a relationship with Jesus. Like the disciples we should walk with Jesus daily..

Today God is saying that He reveals truth to those who are humble and willing but hides it from those who reject Him like the Pharisees. Jesus’ parables were a way to reach those with open hearts while allowing the proud and self-righteous to remain blind by their own choice.

Prayer points
1. Almighty God teach me how to open my heart to your truth in Jesus name.

2. Father in Heaven as I seek you and follow you, review to me the mysteries of your Kingdom in Jesus name.

Isaiah 6:9-10, Luke 8:10, (Matthew 13:14-15, Mark 4:12, Romans 11:8, John 12:39-40, Acts 28:26-27, Ezekiel 12:2,Jeremiah 5:21, Deuteronomy 29:4, Psalm 115:4-8, Psalm 135:15-18) ~ The voice of the Lord said: “Go and tell this people, ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’ Make the hearts of this people calloused; deafen their ears and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.” The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to others I speak in parables, so that, ‘though seeing, they may not see; though hearing, they may not understand.’
