Ways To Avoid The Famine Of Hearing God's Word
1) Meditate, Memorize, And Read God's Word Daily
Amos 8:11 describes the famine that is occurring in the world today. Amos 8:11 tells us Behold, the days come saith the Lord God that I will send a famine in the land; not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water; but of hearing the words of the Lord. Most people rarely read or even look at a bible. We eat three meals a day to sustain our natural bodies, but we fail to feed our spiritual bodies with the Word of God. One lady told me she hadn't read her bible for years. Jesus tells us to meditate on God's Word at all times every day and night.
Jesus said at Matthew 4:4 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. In other words, when people fail to meditate, memorize, and daily read the Word, they experience a famine, become weak, and eventually die. Choose to live today and start meditating on the Word of God (that is Jesus with a KJV bible) every day. Jesus said at John 6:63 The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Be like Job and tell the Lord Jesus at Job 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food. If you daily meditate on God's Word, you can have joy like Jeremiah and say Jeremiah 15:16 Thy words were found (Jesus), and I did eat them; and thy Word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart; for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.
Open your bibles and read the cure for the famine of hearing God's Word at 1 Timothy 4:13-16. Jesus tells us Till I come, give attendance (be attentive and meditate daily) to reading (God's Word), to exhortation, to doctrine; Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery; Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all; Take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine; continue in them, for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. Wow what a promise; if we daily take time to study God's Word, we will save ourselves and everyone around us from trouble, misery, and problems.

2) Take Time To Study God's Word During The Day And Also At Night
Another way to avoid the famine of hearing God's Word is to remember to study God's Word during the day and also at night. In other words there is never a bad time to meditate on God's Word. Psalm 119:97 says to meditate on God's Word during the day; O how I love thy law; it is my meditation all the day. And Psalm 63:6 and Psalm 119:148 say to meditate on God's Word during the night; When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee (Jesus) in the night watches. Mine eyes prevent the night watches (I stay awake in the middle of the night), that I might meditate in thy Word. If you meditate day and night on God's Word, Jesus will give you great peace. This is promised at Psalm 119:165 that says Great peace have they which love thy law; and nothing shall offend them.
Jesus gives some of the greatest revelations about His Word during the night. Immediately write down any revelation about God's Word that you receive in a dream during the night so it is not forgotten. Remember any time you just look at God's Word you will get blessed. When you look at God's Word you are looking at Jesus because Jesus is the Word and Jesus is God. This is proven by John 1:1 that says In the beginning was the Word (Jesus proven by Revelation 19:13), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Today start daily looking at the Word (Jesus) and get saved. The Lord Jesus said at Isaiah 45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else. Right now get saved; repent, decide to stop sinning, confess Jesus to be God, and believe that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.

3) Obey God's Word And Do (Not Just Say) What The Word Requests
Most people just listen to the Word of God once a week at church from their pastor. But everyone needs to meditate on the Word of God themselves daily to find out the truth about God's Word. We need to be doers of God's Word; and not just hearers only. James 1:25 tells us But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
Joshua 1:8 tells us This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein; for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success (note this is God's way to have success-not by having a lot of money and education but by daily meditating on God's Word). In other words, if anyone daily meditates on God's Word, Jesus will fix all their problems every day and make their way prosperous.
Now take a look at another scripture that promises great blessings if we do God's Word daily at 1 John 2:5. Jesus said But whoso keepeth (obeys and does, not just says) His Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected (the person is made better by the Word); hereby know we that we are in Him (in other words if we read and do God's Word daily we will know that we are saved forevermore).
Alright now here's an example of how to do God's Word. Are you willing to obey the Word after you read this next scripture? Philippians 2:14 tells us Do all things without murmurings and disputings, that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. In other words love the unloveable, be kind to rude people, don't hold grudges, and forgive everyone even your worst enemies at all times. Remember whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. If we are kind, gentle, forgiving, and friendly, people will be kind, gentle, forgiving and friendly to us. If we are mean, complaining, and crabs, people will be mean, complaining, and crabs to us.
Be like the apostle John who got the closest to Jesus by leaning on Jesus' breast where John heard the heartbeat of God. John was the only apostle that stayed with Jesus at the cross of Calvary. In other words, the more time you spend in the Word of God with Jesus, the greater the blessing you will receive. Because John got the closest to Jesus, John received the greatest blessing of all the apostles; John had the honor of seeing all the blessed revelations and promises about our future kingdom stated in the book of Revelation. Paul who wasn't as close to Jesus as John only heard unspeakable words from the third heaven with no revelations.
Finally we need to study and meditate on God's Word so we can witness and win lost souls to our Lord Jesus. The bible says that someone gets saved and born again by hearing the Word of God. 1 Peter 1:23 tells us Being born again not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. And Romans 10:17 says So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Therefore obey 2 Timothy 2:15 and Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth. Note that only the KJV bibles tell us to study the Word at 2 Timothy 2:15; All other false translations of the bible do not tell you to study God's Word at 2 Timothy 2:15.
Jesus Is The Greatest Scientist
Jesus Created People Four Different Ways
Scientists Have Not Discovered How People Are Created
1) Jesus made a man (Adam) out of dirt without a mother
2) Jesus made a woman (Eve) out of a man's rib without a mother
3) God made Jesus out of a woman (Mary) without an earthly father
4) God makes people out of a man and woman coming together in a marriage
More Reasons Why Jesus Is The Greatest Scientist
Jesus Did What No Earthly Scientist Will Ever Accomplish
Jesus made billions of snowflakes the same shape (6 sides)
and every snowflake is different
Jesus made beaches with millions of pieces of sand all the same shape and size
Jesus knows the numbers and names of all the billions of stars
Psalm 147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names
