Can You Hear Me Know?

Revelation 3:22, "Anyone who has an ear should listen to what the Spirit says to the churches." (Holman Christian Standard Bible)

Many of us have the heard the words that I have shared as the caption for today's post. This is taken from a television commercial in which the people are wanting to make sure that their conversation is being heard by the other person who is supposedly listening for words to be spoken. Is it possible that the Spirit is asking the same question to the church today? Do we truly hear what the Spirit is saying to the church in these challenging times in which we are living? Those of us who testify to a relationship with Jesus Christ need to "position" ourselves so that we can hear what is being shared from the heart of our Heavenly Father. We need to take the time and make the effort to turn our undivided attention toward God so that we can discern the Voice of God in the midst of all of the other voices that are vying for our attention. We can give our undivided attention to a sports event, to a movie, to a television show and even to our electronic devices but are we giving our attention to the Word of God? Have you ever been in a public venue and heard the ring of a cell phone? The sound of that phone ringing will cause many people to look for their phone and make sure that it is not their phone that is ringing. What would happen in the church if we were that concerned about answering the call from the Spirit to draw near to His Voice? I pray that God will help each of us to see the need to be sensitive to the call from God in these prophetic times in the history of man!!
