MATTHEW 7:24_heareth these sayings of mine…
As the Master Stonemason, Jesus works from the bottom up. Step one is to hear. Hearing the words of Jesus is important. You can be physically deaf and hear Jesus’ words. By the same token, you can rate perfect on your hearing test, listen to the Bible read by Alexander Scourby for an hour, and never hear a word. Where you think is where you hear—in the heart. The heart’s door where Jesus knocks, is a place of communication.
Jesus is very specific about what He wants you to hear, “these sayings of mine.” The word sayings here can be interpreted as a statement or declaration by God. If your ears hear, it is because your heart listens.
At least eight times in His teachings, Jesus says:
Matthew 11:15 (KJV),”He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
Matthew 13:9 (KJV), “Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
Mark 4:9 (KJV), “And he said unto them, he that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
Mark 4:23 (KJV), “If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.”
Revelation 2:7 (KJV), “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith…”
Revelation 2:11(KJV), “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith…”
Revelation 2:29 (KJV), “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith…”
Revelation 3:13 (KJV), “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith…”
PRAYER
True Word, Please help my heart to listen so my ears can hear. In the powerful name of Jesus, Amen.
Christ speaks to my heart—I hear!
