It is imperative that we listen to what the Spirt of God is saying - but it takes some discipline to do so - it’s part of discipleship.
“Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches.”
Revelation 3:13
Not listening is likened to a hard heart that cannot understand Jesus and His teaching.
“For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes— so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.’” Matthew 13:15
How do you tune out the world so you can hear the Lord?
