Yom R’vi’i, Kislev 15, 6004 – November 13, 2019
Open To Hear
Perhaps like me you have found yourself wondering why we do not see or hear of prophets that have messages from YAH like the ones we read in scriptures. As I ponder this question this morning, I read the beginning of Ezekiel. It was very interesting. Can you imagine having even one of those visions today? Likely we would keep it to ourselves, or possibly try to “get help” for ourselves because we thought we were losing it. Yet, here we are, wondering why there is less of what used to be present in our lives today. Perhaps what is needed is being open to hearing.
Ezekiel 3:10 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
From the brief study I did on these words, I arrived at an understanding that we need to be open to both understand intelligently with obedience (hearing with the ear) as well as taking it into our midst, the seat of our emotions and power (the heart). And one of the challenges here is we need to be open to seeing the unusual, which is what Ezekiel saw. How can we be sure?
John 10:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
So here we are, taking this all in and wanting to know His voice only. Like any relationship, it takes time to get used to the one you are in relationship with, such that you readily recognize their voice. But we can trust Him to show us clearly.
Spending time wanting to hear clearly and take into our midst only what YAH has given is our heart’s desire. Begin.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. We long to praise You face to face. We love You and we love Your name Yahuah. Let Your kingdom come here int our very being, and let Your will be done here in the earth as it is in heaven. Send us now Your provision, and let it overflow to those around us. Let the food and clothing and shelter and healing overflow. Overflow, YAH, overflow. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help all those that have transgressed or trespassed against us be forgiven by us. We need Your help and Your heart, YAH, we need Your help and Your heart. Deliver us from the evil here that would deceive us or lead us away or cause us harm. Keep us from temptations. This is Yours Father, this earth is Yours. Show us more of Your ways and how to diligently follow. Restore the substance and prosperity and wonders that have been eaten or held back or taken in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Let Your kingdom be with us, that healing and blessings might flow, O YAH, Father King. We ask all these things of You YAHUAH, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMashiach. Amen and Amen. Amen.
