The famine of the Word that was mentioned in the Old Testament is not due to a lack of the Word, but rather a lack of consumption of the Word. From the beginning of time, the devil has attempted to steal and suppress the Word of God.
Having a teachable heart is key to growing in the Word. Without this, whatever knowledge of God one has will slowly erode and fade away. When receiving the Word, we must do it with faith. God’s Word is only profitable to us if we mix it with faith when we hear it.
