Incline your ear and hear Him for the coming glory!

Proverbs 4:20 (NKJV): My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.

The word ‘incline’ here is ‘natah’ in Hebrew, which means 'to bow down, to bend towards, to cause to yield'. Notice 'natah' does involve humility and 'yieldedness' on the hearer’s side.

People of God, this is a crucial time to incline your ear and hear Him! Not that you don't hear at other times, but there's an urgency in the spirit to release these words at this juncture. 

I heard these words as I was communing with the Lord recently: 

"There has been a stagnancy in many of My people far and wide, but a new glory is coming! There will be a new hunger and a new thirst, a 'deep calling unto deep'. I am going deep into the hearts of many, even nations and governments. Watch My hand reach into the deepest most, where no one had reached before. There will be a setting free! And there will be a release!" 

And then, I heard:
"I am raising the 'Samuels' of today, those who would incline their ears and hear Me for this coming glory!"

In 1 Samuel 3:10, the Bible says, 'Now the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel answered, "Speak, for your servant hears."' 

The name ‘Samuel’ here is ‘Shemuw-El' in Hebrew, coming from two words - ‘Shama’ and 'El'. This word 'Shama' literally means 'to hear with attention, to hear with obedience, to hear with an understanding heart', while ‘El’ is the name of God. Notice the words 'attention', 'obedience' and 'an understanding heart' here? These qualities in him were also the very reasons why 'he grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground' (1 Samuel 3:19).

During a time of worship and prayer recently, I heard and declared these words to the congregation: 

"This is the time to receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit to break every stone that hinders you from hearing in the spirit! These stones have been put up by the enemy to block you from hearing clearly from the Lord. But God has released this holy anointing oil today, and your 'ear' will be clear to hear again!" 

In Ezekiel 11:19-20, the Lord said, "Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit (i.e. the anointing of the Holy Spirit) within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in My statutes (instructions) and keep My ordinances (blueprints) and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God."

In Ezekiel 36:25-28, the Lord then said, "Then I will sprinkle clean water (speaks of 'the ministry of the Word and the Spirit') on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit (i.e. the anointing of the Holy Spirit) within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes (instructions), and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God."

People of God, on a more personal note, this holy anointing oil is also here right now to destroy every stone that may have hindered you in the recent months. The yoke is broken, and the stones are being removed, in Jesus' name! Receive these words by faith, and be set free to hear anew and afresh from the Lord again, even on what He has in store for you in the coming half of this year! I declare that your spirit is sensitized to hear clearly again! You will dream dreams and you will see visions again! And there's going to be a fresh new outpouring of His power and a fresh new flow of His revelation in your life again! Amen! 

Mark 16:3-4 says, 'And they (Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome) said among themselves, "Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?" But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away - for it was very large.' 

You see, nothing whatsoever could stop Jesus from being set free and to walk free on that day! As He is, so are you in this world! (1 John 4:17) And no matter how large the stone around you may have been in your past, His hand and His power is strong enough to roll it away from you today.

People of God, like Jesus those days, the time of being set free is now, and your time of glory is at hand! This is only the beginning of the ever-increasing glory! I pray that you’ll continue to walk from glory to glory in Him, now and forever more. In Jesus' name. Amen!
