These are tumultuous times indeed dear Warriors! There are spiritual events transpiring at such an accelerated pace that unless we remain walking in the Spirit, we could miss what God is saying right now. Actually in Hebrews we read:-
"While it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts..." (Heb 3:7 KJV)
God is always speaking! It is up to us to determine if we will hear what the Spirit of the Lord is saying. Sometimes the things that God says are not what we want to hear! It's not all candy floss, unicorns and rainbows! That's is why the writer of Hebrews (quoting Kind David the Warrior-Poet) says "... be careful not to harden your heart." Why? Why does he need to say that? Because very often when we hear something that isn't sweet to the ear or contradicts our paradigms, confronts our theology, or causes us to have to leave our comfort zone - we rebel against it!
In the Book of Revelation the phrase "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches " is used seven times in the King James Version script. Hearing the NOW word (rhema) of God is a choice we have to make. We all want to hear God speak - right up until His voice makes us uncomfortable and then then we harden our hearts! This is why it's a choice. Your choice!
