Whales can communicate with each other from distances of up to 2 miles apart. And how? Sound is transmitted better where molecules are closer together, such is the case in water.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh that we would find ourselves immersed in rivers of Living Water, that we would hear from and communicate with the Lord. That the molecules of our souls would be so close together that nothing would impede our communication with Him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perhaps you are saying YES, I want to know how to hear from God but do you have an ear to hear?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Communicating with God requires that we hear from Him. And to hear from Him we must lend an ear. At least 7 times in the Gospels Jesus says, <\/span>\u201cHe that has ears let Him hear.\u201d<\/span><\/i> Jesus took aside a man that was deaf, put His fingers in the man\u2019s ears and said to him, \u201cBe Opened!\u2019 and the man\u2019s ears were opened (Mark 7:31-37).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Suffice it to say the Lord wants us to hear. And from these instances we can ascertain that the Lord is not only drawing our attention to the ability of our ears to hear but more so that we will TAKE ACTION on what has been heard. Yes we know that we have two ears on the sides of our head, but do we have ears to <\/span>hear <\/span><\/i>what the spirit is saying?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is not enough for sound waves to enter the outer ear, to travel through the auditory canal, then on to the eardrum, through the cochlea, up the auditory nerve and to the temporal lobe. Once that information HITS the brain, it compels a response. And the same is true with God. When He is speaking to you, His words have to travel through your mind, weave their way through your will, and navigate your emotions so that they can reach your spirit. He is trying to reach your inner most being He wants to do something!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But depending on where you are emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually, that can be rocky terrain through which the Lord has to traverse to reach your spirit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So how do we position ourselves to have ears to hear?<\/span><\/p>\n
