Open Your Ears - 17th October 2022

                                         Let Your Spirit Man Hear
        It is so important that each child of God allows the ears of the inner person or their spirit to hear what the Holy Spirit is telling them to do. The Holy Spirit connects with your inner person and the inner person then relays God's wisdom to your mind or intellect. So many people are only listening to information from the pulpit or television programs or DVDs with their outer person or mind. Remember, it is always important to hear what God is saying through your inner voice or person to truly understand God's will and purposes for your life.
                                                                            Listen for Your Quick Deliverance
        Many people, even Christians, spend much time and effort in trying to be delivered from stress, long term grief, depression, fear and other emotions. Psalm 21 verse 2 tells us how to be quickly and fully delivered from the emotional turmoil of our lives. First of all we must be willing to listen to the Holy Spirit and apply God's word, daily. We must read appropriate verses and then meditate upon them and be willing to confess and apply God's word, to all our daily circumstances. If we incline our inner ear and listen carefully to the Holy Spirit, then we will be delivered completely, by the power of God. After all, for all born again Christians, God is our refuge and our strong fortress. He will deliver and save us if we allow Him to do so.
                                                                              God Will Hear Your Prayer
      The psalmists of old, longed for God to hear and answer their prayers. We learn about this from Psalm 84 verse 9. Their desire was to hear from God. In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit is living in us and we are quite able to hear what God is telling us. The important issue for us is to be ready and willing to hear what God has to say to us. Then we must be obedient and truly hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to us. God always answers with His truth and it is important for us to have ears that are willing to hear and to be obedient to what He tells us. Our conscience is the voice of our spirit and our spirit will always tell us what is God's will and purpose, for our life.
                                                                    Open Your Ears to God's Sayings
        Wisdom for opening our ears is given to us in Proverbs chapter 4 verses 20 to 23. God calls attention to His children to take notice of His word and be willing to learn from it. Our own thoughts about the matter, must be given little attention; it is what God, through the Holy Spirit and His word, the Bible, is telling us that really matters. His word must be kept constantly before us and other ideas of our own, must be put aside. God's words are life, eternal life, to everyone who finds them. They are wonderful healing for the spirit, the soul and the body. Their power is able to heal and give us long term health. They can enable all born again people, to overcome the flesh, the world and the devil. We must be diligent in our constant hearing what the Holy Spirit tells us and what the word of God shows us. The Holy Spirit and the Word of God are always in agreement. From the words that we hear and read, confess and apply, flow the very springs for our life and for our eternal existence.
                                                         God's Word Is Marvellous and Eternal
      God's future for His children is far more glorious than we can even think or understand. We learn about this amazing fact from Isaiah chapter 64 verse 4. A major reason for our lack of understanding is that we, as human beings, have never seen or even thought of how marvellous are the creations of God. We have seen a little in such wonderful displays of nature such as the starry heavens at night, the colours of the rainbow and even the aurora borealis or aurora australis. In our personal circumstances the future is so more splendid than we can even perceive with our limited, earthly intellect and emotions. Those who wait patiently for the revelation of His abounding glory, will be fully satisfied beyond measure.
                                                                   The Glory We Will Behold
     Christians get a glimpse of future glory when reading 1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse 9. We have become used to the marvels of man's technical revolution, over the past two hundred years. But what is that compared with the things which God will reveal to us, throughout the never ending space of eternity? We have not even touched the magnificence and splendour of the future, that Christians as God's children, will behold! God has and is preparing this sublime future for all who repent and love Him. We worship the Lord in affectionate reverence and obey Him now and forever. They are thankful for the mighty benefits He has bestowed upon each one of them and will bestow upon all who call upon His name.
                                                                Be Careful What You Hear
       A stern warning is given to all believers and church attendees in 2 Timothy chapter 4 verses 3 and 4. There will come a time and it has already come, over the past two hundred years, when many Christian pulpits do not preach the whole word of God. Not only that but where the word is preached, many people have closed their spiritual ears and will not listen to the truth of God's word. Instead they only want to listen to preachers that preach words that agree with their own thoughts, rather than the truth, contained in God's word, the Bible, and also revealed by the Holy Spirit. They turn their ears away from hearing God's truths and listen to speakers who promote bogus teaching and error. These people turn their listeners away from the truth and these listeners wander off believing man made fictions, of which evolution is a prime example.
                                                                  Jesus Warns the Churches
      In Revelation chapters 2 and 3 the Lord repeatedly warns each of the then churches in Asia Minor, to listen carefully and hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. Let us be diligent in reading God's word and listening to the Holy Spirit's revelation to us of the word individually and to each church, this very day! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
 Repeat Daily:
       I am a child of God. I am a believer and not a doubter. I live by faith each day, obeying the directions of the Holy Spirit and the revelation knowledge of God's word. I am cleansed and washed by the blood, shed on the Cross of Calvary, by Jesus Christ and the water of God's word. I have repented and am forgiven of all my sins and I have inherited eternal life. Praise the name of the Lord, forevermore!”
