Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear
The lecture discusses the messages of the Lord Jesus Christ to the angels of the seven churches and the spiritual teachings these messages offer to every person. Christ makes it clear that He knows the works of every person and understands the reality of their lives, behavior, and what is within their hearts. The invitation, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches,” is repeated throughout the messages. It is a call to listen to God’s voice and pay attention to His words.
Spiritual Message
The lecture emphasizes that hearing the word of God is not limited to hearing it with one’s ears; rather, it requires a heart that is ready to accept it and put it into practice. A person may hear a commandment or advice but fail to benefit from it if they cling to their own opinions or are controlled by their personal desires. Therefore, a person needs a humble heart that accepts God’s guidance and responds to His voice without stubbornness or resistance.
Educational Lesson
The lecture explains that certain things may prevent a person from truly listening to the word of God, such as inner desires, pride, stubbornness, and a sense of self-righteousness. A person may reject advice because they believe they are always right, or may treat guidance as a personal attack. Therefore, a person should examine themselves, rather than being satisfied with merely hearing words. They should reflect on those words and accept the truth that God reveals to them.
Practical Application
A person should learn to listen to God’s voice with an open heart that is ready to obey. When receiving advice or guidance, they should not rush to defend themselves or reject what is being said, but should examine it with humility. They should also review their actions and behavior in the light of God’s word and stay away from stubbornness and pride. The goal is for hearing God’s word to become a practical way of life and sincere obedience.
