See, Hear, Understand, Convert and Be Healed


See, Hear, Understand, Convert and Be Healed

Intro:   We know that that Rms.10:8-10 says “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” 

But how does the word get into their heart and mouth?

Rms. 10:14 They can not hear without a preacher? 

Preachers and teachers are to teach sound doctrine and be able to expound the word of God and give a defense of the faith, and to admonish when necessary. In addition to the ministry of preaching and teaching, other ministries given to the church are those of apostle, prophet (prophetess), evangelist, pastor (feed; shepherd), and helps (helper). In the fellowship of believers, however, all are called to minister (add) and to make intercessions. (Vine's complete expository dictionary)

  1. Yesterday I told my niece to help her little sister learn math. Or teach her what she knows about math.
  2. That’s all the Lord ask His children to do; teach others what they know about the Kingdom of God.
When we teach others about the Kingdom of God it causes them to see, hear and understand their need for a savior.

  1. Once a person truly understands by the conviction of the heart, that they are in the world lost without hope, they are ready to enter into the Kingdom of God.
  2. Your life style brings conviction of the heart to the sinners.
  3. They see you living a godly life style, they hear you speak inline with the word of God, now they are ready to understand why you live and speak the way you do.
  4. You are allowing the manifestation of the fruit of the spirit in your life  (Gal 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, ect……)
  5. Because of your obedience this person is ready to be converted and healed.
  6. Matthew 13:15  For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
  7. Heal means to free from errors and sins, to bring about (one's) salvation  (Strong's G2390)
  8. 2Cr 4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
  9. Always remember; one plants another waters but God gives the increase.  1Cr 3:6  I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
  10. See, Hear, Understand, Convert and Be Healed.
