INCLINE YOUR EARS TO HEAR GOD 

INCLINE YOUR EARS TO HEAR GOD: ONLY THE HEARING OF FAITH PLEASES GOD! 

“My son, attend to my words; INCLINE THINE EAR unto my SAYINGS. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their FLESH” Proverbs 4:20-22. 

“. . . 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD . . .” Mark 11:11-14, 20-24. 

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17. 

IT IS TIME TO HEAR GOD FOR YOURSELF; IT WILL SAVE YOU FROM BEING MISTAKEN AND DELUDED, AND FROM WORKING, WALKING AND FOLLOWING ERRONEOUSLY. 

FAITH IN GOD IS HOPE AND ASSURANCE FOR YOUR TODAY AND TOMORROW IN THE GRACIOUS AND GRACEFUL LOVE OF GOD IN HIS PURPOSE AND WILL FOR LIFE AND GODLINESS. [Hebrews 13:8; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11] 

Pleasing God is by FAITH. FAITH COMES BY HEARING, AND HEARING THE WORD. Romans 10:17 
And the Word PLEASES God. And PLEASING God is REWARDING. 

It thus means therefore that — a NO WORD means a NO FAITH; and a NO FAITH means a NO PLEASING of God; and a NO PLEASING of God means a NO GOD’S KIND OF REWARD. 

More importantly, it is only when a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord that He MAKES his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him — [Proverbs 16:7]. 
Meaning that the easiest way to get rid of the ENEMY and his COHORTS about you is by FAITH — that is, by acting correspondingly on God’s WORD. 

FAITH PLEASES GOD and makes you VICTORIOUS and A WORLD OVERCOMER. [1 John 5:4-5] 
FAITH takes you out of SIN and SINFUL CONSCIOUSNESS into RIGHTEOUS CONSCIOUSNESS. [Romans 14:23] 

THEREFORE INCLINE YOUR EAR TO HEAR GOD — HEAR HEALTHILY UNTIL YOU FEED YOUR SPIRIT BEING FOR YOUR OWN GOOD AND FOR THE GOODNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD. AMEN. 

Hearing God will always SAVE you from being MISTAKEN, from ERRORS and from being DELUDED in every way as you do life with God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. 
For FAITH in God is hope and assurance for your today and tomorrow’s well-being in life and godly living. [Hebrews 13:8; Matthew 22:29] 

Hearing the Word gives entrance of THE WORD into the human spirit. And it is only by the entrance of THE WORD that one is enlightened, illuminated and given a simplified life in every CONTEXT. [Psalm 119:105, 130; John 1:1-5; Proverbs 4:18-23; 2 Corinthians 4:6] 

It is my earnest PRAYER for you today, that you will intentionally and pragmatically do yourself a favour by INCLINING YOUR HEARING EARS TO HEAR GOD in all things about doing life and living godly in grace, so that you can PLEASE GOD by FAITH and have ANSWERS to all of your PRAYERS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.
