Pray To Hear The Answer Even Before It Comes

"..there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower."
1 Kings 18:41

Our prayers should be whole-hearted, with all expectations, so that we can hear the sound of the blessings we need with our ears of faith even before it is rendered. The Lord is waiting to shower down His abundant rain to refresh and confirm us as His own inheritance (Ps.68:9). Let us not stop praying at the sound of the rustling but continue to pray fervently with humility until there is a down pour of the heavy showers (vs.42, 45).

Hear, Acknowledge And Live In His Favor

"Blessed are the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of your countenance."
Psalm 89:15

As a sheep is aware of it's shepherd's voice, so should we be all ears to the revelations of God. Our inner man should make joyful acclamations, always acknowledging the presence of the King of kings with us, and thus experience living under the favor of the most High all day long.

Hear The Echo Of His Voice

"One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: that You, O God, are strong."
Psalm 62:11

God speaks once and it is done. He is unchangeable over what He has said. So there is no need for Him to repeat. But we need the ear to hear the echo of His voice again and again. All strength and ability required to defend and save us, belongs to God. When all else fails, His power will never fail. Let us be encouraged to trust His power alone at all times.
