Who you actually listen to in this life is highly important. Words are like food, and your Mind is the mouth of your Soul. Be careful about what you let the world put in the mouth of your Soul. The devil wants to listen down to him. The world wants you to listen around to them. But what you really need to do is LISTEN UP to THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
First of all, you need to ask God to incline your heart to listen to HIM. Because without the help of the Holy Spirit, you cannot spiritually hear at all. We are all born deaf to God, and the Holy Spirit must open our ears to hear. We cannot hear God one bit until we receive Christ Jesus and we are Born Again of the Spirit of God. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Incline your ear, and come unto ME: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. Incline my heart unto Thy testimonies, and not to covetousness. Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the Lord God of Israel. Give ear, O my people, to My law: incline your ears to the words of MY mouth. I have inclined mine heart to perform Thy statutes alway, even unto the end.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding. My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not. But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. And the Lord hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Keep Looking unto JESUS,
and LISTEN UP to HIM!
