Mat 10:27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
There is one thing that bothers me when I go to church, and at this forum also. For me the problems is that I hear from the Lord everyday, and so I like telling people about it. Yet who else is doing that?
I understand that is partially due to the fact that it is over and over written that with their ears they don't hear, but is it really that bad that practically nobody is hearing from the Lord. Surely it must be that can't be completely true. Yet if they are hearing from the Lord how come they don't seem to be boldly proclaiming to others what they heard? It just doesn't make sense to me especially since the One they heard from said to proclaim what we hear whispered in your ear.
I mean - 'whispered in you ear' must mean those words we hear via what we like to call that small voice of His. Most Christians seems to understand what I mean when I talk about the small voice. So they must have heard from Him at some point, right? So they must have heard from Him and don't want to tell others what they heard even to the point of knowingly not following the instructions to proclaim it on the housetops.
Of course that would be why Jesus commanded us to proclaim what we hear whispered in our ears on the housetops. He must have known how we don't want to tell others what He was telling us. Maybe we are embarrassed of Him and His words in a world that wants to say that anyone who hears voices in their head is crazy.
Ok - I understand that I am a peculiar person. I have spiritual ears to hear. And frankly I too find it a bit crazy at times. I didn't hear with my spiritual ears for the first 40 years of my life, but for the last 20 years Him and I have been walking and talking together. Of course because I have spiritual ears to hear and the Spirit of God is not the only spirit out there I have to use discernment and test the spirits. But you have to use discernment in the physical realm too otherwise you wind up you could wind up with some pretty bad friends. We can understand that, right. And besides, the King of kings has a kingdom and there is more with you than against you. There is that army of God, the angels, that He has watching over us and who He also sends to minister to us. Talking with them is quite interesting too. Remember, He came preaching a Kingdom?
Anyway - I will leave you with a parable I got from the Lord.
With this parable or saying, the Lord woke me up on New Years Day 2004.
“If you push water up, it flows back to you”.
“If you push water higher, it comes back as fresh water.”
“If you let it go, it will flow away to a salty sea.”
“If you spread it over a field things will grow.”
“So it is with the Word of God.”
