Luke 8-9
What God said to me – You are blessed to hear from Me – not everyone does. There are those who are not Mine who because of their spiritual condition cannot hear from Me because spiritual things are spiritually discerned. Being born again is being born in the spirit so those who are dead spiritually cannot hear because I speak to your spirit. Then there are those who are Mine who rarely seek Me. They come in times of trouble crying out to Me, but they don’t really know My voice so it is difficult for them to hear. I long to speak to My children, but they must also long to hear from Me. I speak to you through My word and through your spirit. You must take care in how you listen. Don’t come with presupposed notions of what I will say or how I will answer your prayers. Come openly, eager to hear what I have to say even when it is not what you want to hear.
