Hardened Heart.
A hardened heart dulls a person’s ability to perceive and understand.
Mark 8:17, Jesus spoke to His disciples about the characteristics of a hard heart:Mk 8:17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?i 18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember? In these verses, Jesus gave us symptoms that are descriptive of a hard heart: (1) unable to perceive, (2) unable to understand, (3) unable to see, (4) unable to hear, and (5) unable to remember. These are all speaking of inabilities in the spiritual realm. A hard heart is characterized by an inability to perceive spiritually. And when spiritual things are perceived, a hard heart will keep a person from understanding the few things they can perceive. They might see what the Lord is trying to show them, but they can’t get a hold of it in a way that they can apply it to their life. http://www.awmi.net/extra/article/hardness_heart |
