“But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold.” When He had said these things He cried, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” luk 8:8 nkjv |
September 9, 2025 What does it mean to “hear?” What does it mean “he who has ears?” Hearing can be by sound, and considered… but not necessarily of interest or of concern to us, and often it is run through one of our “selfish” filters to weight in our thoughts… to further deal with or to simply discard. Hearing can also resonate within our inner being, sometimes getting our serious attention, alerting us to caution or demanding action such as that which requires “now” and immediate response. The later “hearing” is what this devotional speaks to… to those who “have ears to hear.” I believe Yahweh designed, within our person, a distinct receiver that has specific and direct connection to Him communicating His cautions and promptings that, if we are honest with our responses, allow us to give Him the respect and obedience due His Lordship in our lives. It is very important that we understand that the watchful eye of the enemy of our souls [satan, normally by way of his cabal of demonic “influencers”], take note of our responses to Yahweh’s expectations of us… looking for a way to distract us and separate us from our faithfulness to Him. In this same vein, what are you hearing… If you listen to the lie(s) long enough, its symptoms will begin showing up in your life; affecting your finances, health, relationships, and most of the things in your life, especially your relationship to Yahweh… for the Scriptures say, “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” rom 10:17 nkjv; It seems to me that the opposite would apply, “faith diminishes [fades away] from NOT hearing the Word of God.” The bread of life is our fellowship with Yeshua, the Word, and without that we become spiritually anemic. By natural observation, it is known that buzzards feed on weak and dying things. By spiritual comparison, we must not allow the devil’s buzzards a feeding place in our lives. Consider the words of Yeshua, “And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them.” luk 21:8 nkjv We, distinct from all previous generations, are facing a monumental challenge. The powerful tool of AI [Artificial Intelligence]… It’s capacities, on so many levels, will be the new and likely favorite weapon of the adversary to deceive Yahweh’s people. The focus will be to steal and distort the identity of mankind. It will try to cause people to think like the world, and it will try to distort the understanding of Yahweh’s Word. It will try to embed itself in people’s subconscious to set up a false “default” by giving visual and auditory “realities,” that are not reality at all. It will be the most powerful assault upon truth that people have ever seen. It will literally try to do what this Scripture says about the Word of Yahweh: “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” heb 4:12 nkjv This new assault will literally try to separate the soul and spirit from the unity that Yahweh created man with. This will also be jointly fused with the transhuman and technocratic plans to altar human DNA [now in process]… sounds as if what the evil cabal of Noah’s days was doing that corrupted all flesh, causing Yahweh to flood everything having “the breath of life,” to end the tampering with His creation. Can a replay of this evil deceive us to the point that the Scripture says, “that unless Yahweh intervened, that even the very elect could be deceived.?” mat 24:21-23 nkjv Here is the bottom line: A house divided cannot stand. Mar 3:25 nkjv We are seeing the creating of so much discord and division among people everywhere, that sooner or later the eruption of social and ideological conflict will surely explode. It is my opinion that so much bad [distorted and false] propaganda is building against Israel and Christians, that it will not be long until they are blamed for the “problems,” and that the lies and false charges will incite the “hive mind” masses to attack them and eliminate them. The Prophet Isaiah speaks this... “In transgressing and lying against the Lord, And departing from our God, Speaking oppression and revolt, Conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. 14 Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; For truth is fallen in the street, And equity cannot enter. 15 So truth fails, And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him That there was no justice.” isa 59:13-15 nkjv We are warned, in the Bible, of the coming antichrist system and of the swarm of evil persons that will choose the evil and lies that pleases their appetites for power, wealth and pleasure… “Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.” 1 tim 4:1-3 nkjv The Beginning Scripture is from Yeshua’s teaching on the parable of the sower, and the seed. He tells us that the “seed” is the Word of God. He gives four types of soil that the seed was scattered into. Only the fourth was good soil and it produced much fruit. So then, the soil of our hearts can be good, but unless it is cultivated with faith, from hearing the truth of Yahweh’s Word, and acting upon it in faithful thankfulness, there will be crop failure. We must guard our “hearing,” otherwise the “tares” Yeshua spoke of will invade the soil of our hearts and we will produce evil and corrupt products of the “false and distorted” lies and influence of the worldly powers that mixes and homogenizes part truths and tasty morsels [poison in disguise] just as the serpent mesmerized Eve with in the Garden. Who and what are you hearing… it really does matter. Yahweh gave us the Torah to sanitize our minds, Yeshua to redeem us, and the Spirit of Truth to lead us. Don’t settle for any other teaching or promised inspiration… Trust in the LORD with all your heart, lean not to your own understanding, and acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He will direct your paths.” prov 3:5-6 Shalom, John |
