Pay attention.

“Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.” Matthew 13:9(KJV)

Whenever Jesus makes the statement we see in our opening scripture, you know that He has something very important that He wants to tell us.

If you read in Revelations 2:7, Jesus said, “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches …” From these utterances by Jesus, we can see that hearing from God is a choice. Because there are people who believe and make statements like, “if God wants me to hear His voice I will hear.” But Jesus says the opposite, “Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”

Therefore, hearing from God is a personal responsibility. If you are not hearing from God, you cannot blame 
God because He says, “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches”

Hearing from God requires focus. God is always talking, but not everyone is listening. The Word 'hear' is the word 'akouo' it means to give ear, to harken or hear. It refers to hearing with the intention to do what you hear. It also means hearing with the intent to act appropriately. In other words, the individual that is focused with the intent to do what he hears, is the individual God will talk to.

So, if you are not hearing God talk to you, I feel for you because there are a lot of things you are missing. This is because success in life is based on the rhema(God’s specific Word) to you, not just the written Word. The written Word(logos) has its place, but the rhema of God is important to you because it is directed specifically to you. 

Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you because my ears are anointed to hear what you are saying to me today, in Jesus Name. Amen.
