Are We Even Listening??

Listen. What do you hear? Most times we hear what we listen for and most other times we hear what the world wants us to hear. Cars, television, idle chatter, wind, music, ………..and all the other reverberation that mindlessly bounces off our ear drum and enters our consciousness on many different levels. We process uselessness, we seek to understand temporal and hedonistic information that not only doesn’t edify our spirits, it strengthens our flesh. But are we even listening to what the Spirit is saying - what is yelling in the Spirit - what is screaming out in the halls of eternity?

Demons and devils are whispering, suggesting, shrieking, and lying in the spirit realm and as these parasites attach themselves to earthly hosts are we caught listening unawares…and on purpose? Can we not hear the Spirit warning and urgently calling unto our Spirit’s that “ENOUGH OF THE GAMES, IT IS ALL COMING TO AN END”. Do you ever hear that? Do you believe that? On and on we go through the same old tired religious chit-chat with little urgency, little passion, and no tears.

Are we even listening to the voices calling from hell “GO AND TELL MY BROTHERS” or are we too busy listening to each other’s problems and the sin’s of others? Is there an unsettling in your Spirit that says “BEHOLD I COME QUICKLY” and with that eternal voice of many waters are we propelled into a life changing journey to seek Him and seek His? Oh brothers and sisters would Jesus do what we do if He was here again? He was God and He prayed! He was God and He fasted! He was God and He wept! He was God and He was poor!

When do we hear the historical groans and sufferings of our Messiah? Are we even listening? Paltry and pathetic is our time with Him, and our devotion to this world is breathtakingly disgusting. The angelic beings are engaged in the final war in preparation for the glorious entrance of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and can we not even hear the sounds of the last eternal war, coming with the fury of the Creator Himself? Death in millions, wars and rumors, diseases without cures, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, corruption in government and God’s house, the study of sex in the world and the church, pornography pumped into the theatre and the home, children killed in the womb and out, and do we not hear God calling us to Himself?

The church is a playground for professing Christians to learn how to enjoy the very life God rejects. Success, finances, sex, diet, career, and not the world, the CHURCH??!! Books, teachings, videos, classes, retreats, workshops, and we still can’t stay married. Counseling based on the study of humans not God. And all the while are we listening to Jesus commanding us to tell His message as He has told it to us? The grocery clerk, your doctor, co-workers, your relatives, your neighbor, and everyone is walking toward a bottomless abyss with little if any warning. Do we not hear their hopeless situation? Are we even listening to the voice of Almighty God?

Finally, are our ears keenly bent to one day hear, “Well done thou good and faithful servant”?

Are
We
Even
Listening??
