"Note that we must hear Jesus speak if we expect Him to hear us speak. If e have no ear for Christ, He will have no ear for us.
Do we humbly desire to be intercessors for the church and the world, an desire to be able to have what we desire of the Lord? Then we must bow our ear to His vice and treasure up His words and carefully obey them."
Hear So As to Be Heard
"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you."
~ John 15:7
"Note that we must hear Jesus speak if we expect Him to hear us speak. If e have no ear for Christ, He will have no ear for us. Moreover, what is heard must remain; it must live in us, it must abide in our character as a force and a power.
If our Lord's words are received and abide in us, what a boundless field of privilege is opened up to us! We are to have our will in prayer, because e have already surrendered our will to the Lord's command. Thus are Elijahs rained to handle the keys of heaven, and lock or loose the clouds.
Do we humbly desire to be intercessors for the church and the world, an desire to be able to have what we desire of the Lord? Then we must bow our ear to His vice and treasure up His words and carefully obey them."(By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
