The ART of HEARING
*********************************************
This is a 2 part Message on Hearing and what it Produces in your Life.
First Part is to Grow your Relationship with JESUS by Hearing his voice. You can only do that
by getting Alone with JESUS.
Mark 4:34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: but when they were alone,
he expounded all things to his disciples.
Jesus told this disciples that only those who were alone with him could hear the
mysteries.
A Disciple Hears and Listens when he is Alone with Jesus, not in a crowd.
Mark 4:24 Then he added, "Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the
more
understanding you will be given [fn]—and you will receive even more.
Mark 4:25 To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them."
This is the Outcome of Growing your Faith. Hearing, so you can hear more. The more you Hear,
the more you will be allowed to Hear. This is about growing your Relationship with JESUS.
Hearing has to PRODUCE FRUIT in your Life that you have been with JESUS.
Your Life is Testifying what your Relationship is or is not, with JESUS.
The Holy Spirit Opens the flood gates to the Spirit of your Mind. As you become a Hearer of the Word,
it moves you to a place where others can no longer Hear you.
( you moved to higher ground )
Only other Hearers can Hear you, So Good Luck with finding one.
Second Part is You Growing the Fruit of the Spirit in order to Hear others as you
LISTEN.
This requires you Cultivating the FRUIT of the SPIRIT into your Character, by actively practicing
it.
Practice makes Perfect, then it becomes part of your Character.
Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
There are those who think they are hearing. But their response proves they are still Carnally
Minded. Plus they do not Listen. They talk over you, while pretending they Hear,
Interjecting their thoughts while dismissing yours, before you have even finished talking.
THEY CAN’T HEAR, SINCE THEY NEVER LISTEN. They have NO FRUIT of the SPIRIT.
When you start talking while someone hasn’t finished a thought they wanted to share with you,
You have Announced you’re NOT LISTENING. So a Person who Can’t Listen has nothing to Say.
( Plus you have now wounded that person, and they will not share with you again. )
STOP Talking, SHUT UP and LISTEN. ( It takes Real Fruit of the Spirit to do that )
Then even if you are not HEARING you will at least have some Wisdom.
Mark 4:9 And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
