Isaiah 32:2-4 English Standard Version

2 Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.

3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed, and the ears of those who hear will give attention.

4 The heart of the hasty will understand and know, and the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak distinctly.

Let those who have ears hear. Amen

Do you hear the Spirit speaking to you?

If not, do you want to hear the Spirit?

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.

Look at the healing ministries of Jesus before the Cross. The deaf could Hear. The mute could speak. The blind could see. The lame walks. The dead rose up. The leper was made clean.

After the Cross those who have placed their faith in Christ have received the Holy Spirit.

They can hear in the Spirit. They can see in the Spirit. They can speak in the Spirit. They walk by the Spirit. They are quickened by the Spirit. Once shunned for being untouchable they now have fellowship with the saints in the Spirit.

All this is made possible because faith in Christ is faith released in those who have received the Holy Spirit. Everything they do in the Spirit is by faith in Jesus Christ.

We all had a life that tried and failed. We may or may not feel like we failed, but we truly did because we did so without faith.

It is impossible to please God without faith.

This post began with chapter and verse.

Things have been said that will stir up the faith in some to know the scriptural references. Some will have a vague memory, others will know chapter and verse. Hearing with those spiritual ears takes practice. It is not unlike learning a foreign language. The more one uses it, the better they get at it.
