The Book of Revelation, Part 18 - Rick Joyner
To make some overall points about the seven churches Jesus addressed in Revelation, I began last week to address one of the most important factors in a successful life or church: the ability to listen to, and truly hear, what others are saying to us—especially the Lord. One of the most common statements the Lord made to His followers was, “He who has ears, let him hear.”
He said to His disciples concerning the multitudes, “While seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand” (see Matthew 13:13). Are we like this, hearing the sound of His voice but not really understanding what He’s saying? If we don’t understand, we are very unlikely to be doing what He said, which is disobedience to the King.
Learning to hear and then heed the instructions we are given may be the most critical ability we can develop to navigate through these times. Years ago, I was shown in a dream a warhorse. It was so attuned to its rider that, in all the clamor and chaos of battle, it could sense a gentle nudge from the rider’s knees directing it to turn to the right or left. In the dream, I was told that in the days to come it will be life or death for us to be as sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s impressions as that horse was to its rider, especially in the great chaos of these times.
