Pay Attention to The Word of The Lord



Hebrews 2:1 - Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard lest at any time we should let them slip.

We should pay attention to the Word of the Lord lest at any time we find ourselves in a lethargic state of mind.  Lethargic - a spiritual sleep...the body is present, but the mind is sleeping on the Word of God. 

Description of a lethargic Christian.  Disinterested during church services and bored concerning spritual matters. Too busy to pray.  To preoccupied to the affairs of this world to be involved with the things that pertain to kingdom building.  Do not have time to study The Word.  Fellowship with the saints is not what you are thirsty for.   Indifferent towards The work of God, or it does not matter one way or another.  Lack of interest during service, no participation, inattentive, mediocre, bored, and neglectful concerning the preached word of God.

This is one who disregards what has been spoken, or, gives little attention to the workings of the Holy Spirit within the confines of the church.  This person is either spiritually dead or in a backslidden (lethargic state).  Wake up sleepy one, before Christ returns.
Earnest heed is to have an intense and serious state of mind concerning the things of the Lord.  How can we obey the Word of God if we allow a lethargic state of mind to cause a leakage when it comes to retaining the Word of God in our hearts.

How can you be so annointed and loving the Lord but neglectful to the body of Christ - the church.  Sounds like you may be lethargic - sleeping.  If we feel that we are so annointed by the power of the Spirit - why not bring some of that annointing to God's headquarters - His Church.
