Quotes about Deafened

Is it possible that what we perceive to be relational, emotional, and spiritual problems are actually hearing problems -- ears that have been deafened to the voice of God? And it's that inability to hear His voice that causes us to lose our voice and lose our way.

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.”
