To Hear or Not to Hear that is the Question

Wisdom to Change

You who fear God, listen Acts 13:16b


Diligently hear, give your ear to hear, open your ear, lend your ear, he that has ears to hear let him hear, blessed are your ears for they hear, hear, hear and hear. The Father is saying over and over to hear, but are we really listening to what He is saying. When we read His Word it’s listening to Him talk to us.


There’s a passage in the bible were there was a rich man and a poor man. The rich man died and went to a place of torment. The rich man asked the Father could he send someone to his brothers so they won’t come to this place of torment. I found it amazing what the Father said to him. He said if they will not hear Moses and the prophets, they won’t be persuaded by one from the dead. While the rich man was alive he heard the laws, commandments and the prophets. The rich man thought he had time to get it right but eventually time ran out on him.


Hearing has rewards or consequences. Throughout the Word, if we hear and obey God said he will command the blessings on us. Here are a few of the blessings. He’ll command the blessings to set us on high for the blessing will come on us and overtake us; we’ll have complete victory over our enemies; we’ll lend and not borrow; we’ll be blessed in all the works of our hands; prosper in every area of life and to be blessed in ALL we undertake just to name a few. Now if we don’t want to hear and obey which is strictly our choice, here are the following consequences: serve our enemies, hunger, thirst, nakedness, want of all things, borrow and can’t pay it back, bondage, robbery of possessions, famine, great distress, no peace, no rest, complete poverty just to name a few. Conditions must be met if blessings are to be received and if conditions are not met, well you read for yourself.


God made it plain for us to hear and obey, but the decision will always be left up to us. Today, we should want to hear what God is doing in the earth. We should want to hear that God is well pleased with us. We should want to hear His wisdom to accomplish every task at hand. We should want to hear if we’re missing it in any area of our lives. Lord, we want to hear from you! Let your confession be I hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying and I’m not confused in what I hear from Him.


Have a Beautiful Day
