HEAR GOD’S SECOND WIND?
By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube: Wade Hughes)
*LET US BEGIN WITH A QUESTION: IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN HEARING AND LISTENING?
*Life is about choices. THERE ARE 3 BONES COLLECTIVELY ARE KNOWN AS OSSICLES = 1. MALLEUS (HAMMER); 2. INCUS (ANVIL); 3. AND STAPES (STIRRUP), THE EAR DRUM VIBRATES AGAINST A SMALL SNAIL SHAPED STRUCTURE THAT HAS THOUSANDS OF SMALL NERVES THAT TURN SOUND VIBRATIONS INTO ELECTRICAL SIGNALS THAT THE BRAIN INTERPRETS AS HEARING SOUNDS.
Matthew 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew 11:15 (MSG) "Are you listening to me? Really listening?
Matthew 11:15 (NLT2) Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!
WHAT WOULD GOD SPEAK IF WE WOULD LISTEN? What is the difference between listening and hearing? WHAT AM I COMMUNICATING? WHAT AM I TEACHING? IS IT POSSIBLE: WE TRAIN OUR KIDNEYS? WE TRAIN OUR DOGS? IS IT POSSIBLE TO TRAINED OUR EARS? WHAT DO YOU HEAR?
*LISTEN: listening and hearing may or may not be the same thing. To listen is to receive accurately information, to perceive, sound, to give ear, audible. Can we hear with no sound? learned skill, to hearken, pay attention, choice, concentrate, focus, what it takes for the speaker to be heard and understood, RECEIVE, UNDERSTAND, RESPOND,
Proverbs 8:34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT LISTENING? IF WE REALLY LISTEN WE WILL CHANGE. WHY HAVE DEAF EARS?
* Shama is the Hebrew word for listen. Listen can mean hear, pay close attention and or take heed. In the English Standard Bible it is used 265 times. 331 times in NIV. KJV: LISTEN IN VARIOUS FORMS IS USED 1,300 times. To listen signifies more than hearing. In the Bible listening is more than PASSSIVE. It is to take action by to obey. The New Testament is AKOUO, PAY ATTENTION? The more we listen the deeper our love’s root system grow
THERE IS A LOST ART IN OUR DAILY LIVES… WE HAVE DIALED IN SO MANY LOUD NOISES THAT WE CAN’T HEAR. REAL LOVE LOVES TO LISTEN. GOOD FAMILY HABITS MAKE LISTENING A MINISTRY.
Today many say the “LORD TOLD ME?” They have not listened and their words are not credible. Not every ear tunes in to other people and to what the Holy Spirit is saying? Many refuse to listen put their mouth is in overdrive.
Matthew 11:15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
RECENTLY I HEARD THE LORD SPEAK TO ME THROUGH A MISSIONARY AND FELLOW PASTOR: PASTOR: KEVIN STONE. PASTOR STONE PENNED THESE WORDS. MAY 4, 2025.
THE SECOND WIND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
By Kevin Stone
THE LORD IS GETTING READY TO RELEASE
A SECOND WIND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST.
THE LORD HAS COMMISSIONED THE CHURCH
TO RUN WITH DILIGENCE.
THERE ARE SOME IN THE BODY OF CHRIST
THAT HAVE TRIPPED OVER HURDLES
THE HURDLES OF THE CARES OF LIFE.
ADVERSITY (TO STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY!
WEARINESS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS HAVE SET IN…
BUT THE LORD SAYS TO THE WEARY:
BE ENCOURAGED AND GET UP! ARISE!
RECEIVE THE SECOND WIND
AND RUN IN THE LORD’S STRENGTHS!
THE LORD SAYS TO THE CHURCH.
I AM BREATHING INTO YOUR SPIRIT
VITALITY AND STRENGTH TO RUN YOUR LAST LAP!
AS YOU RUN WITH NEW PURPOSE AND PASSION!
THE IMPORTANT KEY TO ALL OF THIS
IS TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS!
THE LORD SAYS DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND
THIS IS NOT A RACE OF COMPETITION.
IT IS A RACE TO RUN IN UNITY.
THIS IS A TIME TO ENCOURAGE,
TO LIFT THE HANDS THAT HANG DOWN
AND STRENGTHEN THE WEAK KNEES.
(Hebrews 12:12-15)
KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS
AND RECEIVE THE SECOND WIND!
WE HAVE BEEN DESTINED TO RUN THE RACE.
AND IT IS A RACE OF VICTORY.
PLEASE DON’T GET ANGRY WITH ME, BUT I CAN YOU HEAR GOD’S WIND BLOWING?
THE WIND BLOWS THE SOUND TO CALL US TO ASSEMBLE TOGETHER IN LOVE AND UNITY.
Psalm 23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Psalm 27:4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
Psalm 122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.
I AM LISTENING: I CAN HEAR THE CALL TO TAKE BY FAITH THE ACTION TO ADVANCE THE TORCH. I AM BUT A CANDLE FOR THE LORD. THE HOLY SPIRIT CALLS US TO CHARGE, ADVANCE THE LIGHT.
