Bible Verse of The Day – 8-23-21

Matthew 11:15 (NKJV) 15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

Through the various seasons in our lives, we might notice that certain characteristics and traits are more important than in other seasons.

The season we’re in right now demands razor-sharp discernment. It is 100% necessary if we hope to see and hear what God is saying and what is happening in the spiritual realm.

Part of having sharp discernment requires being able to hear what is not being said.

That may sound counter-intuitive or contradictory. But let me explain.

Most times, when it comes to spiritual warfare, and things of the spirit realm in general, many things can be very subtle and almost imperceptible to the natural mind and natural understanding.

This is why Jesus told us that we need to have ears to hear. He wants us to be able to hear those things that are not easily discerned; things that are clearly there to hear, but require looking and listening beyond what is plainly visible or audible.

How do we know that this is important? Because Jesus said it again in Revelation, as well as in other places in the 4 gospels.

In Revelation, He said again, very specifically, that we need to have ears to hear.

Revelation 3:22 (NKJV) 22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

And do you know what else He said? He said that we need to be able to see.

Revelation 3:18 (NKJV) 18 …anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

So, you can see that it’s critical for us, as believers, to have heightened senses of spiritual sight and hearing.

And I will say directly, with no hesitation, that anyone lacking in these critical spiritual traits will have a very hard time discerning and understanding what’s really happening in the spiritual realm right now.

And this is why it’s so very important that we let God speak to us through His word each and every day, sharpening our spiritual eyes and ears, so we never miss what the Spirit is saying to us.

Let those who have ears, hear. And let those who have eyes, see.
