He Who Has Ears to Hear, Let Him Hear!

“Whoever has ears to hear with, let him hear!”

Mark 4:1-12 JESUS is teaching the public and He tells them the parable of sowing seed and He concludes the teaching with the phrase, “Whoever has ears to hear with, let him hear!” This is a key statement that He makes when teaching, especially in The Revelation. The reason He makes this statement when teaching is explained in the next few verses; after the teaching time the disciples asked Him why He taught the people in parables. He replied, “To you the secret of the Kingdom of GOD has been given; but to those outside, everything is in parables, so that they may be always looking but never seeing; always listening but never understanding. Otherwise, they might turn and be forgiven!” Which is a quote from Isaiah 6:9-10. Speaking to Isaiah when Isaiah realized he is a sinner from a people who are sinners because they have GOD’s Word but they do not follow it. “He said, ‘Go and tell this people: ‘Yes, you hear, but you don’t understand. You certainly see, but you don’t get the point! Make the heart of this people [sluggish with] fat, stop up their ears, and shut their eyes. Otherwise, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, then understanding with their hearts,             they might repent and be healed!’” “Then YESHUA said to them, ‘Don’t you understand this parable? How will you be able to understand any parable?’” Then He goes on to explain the parable to the disciples.

This is what is happening in America today! Those who are socialist in our government and society, those who want a socialist government to support their vision of a one world socialist government hear the truth BUT they cannot believe it. Why? Because their ears are closed and their eyes are closed and their hearts do not want to know the truth!

They want what they want and that is; to not have to live by GOD’s standards of morality, integrity and righteousness. As a class of people they want to live by their own standard of “If it feels good, do it.” “I’m my own person and I can do whatever I want whenever I want with whomever I want.”

They are haters therefore they have no grace or place for anyone who disagrees with them. Hate closes people off to hear the truth and accept other points of view as being as legitimate as theirs. The Jewish people of JESUS’ time were proud and arrogant of their religion, but they had lost touch with GOD. In John 8:31-33, “So JESUS said to the Judeans who had trusted Him, ‘If you obey what I say, then you are really My disciples, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.’ They answered, ‘We are Abraham’s seed and we have never been slaves to anyone; so what do You mean by saying, “You will be set free.”’”

Really!? They were slaves in Egypt for 430 years, the spent 70 years in captivity in Babylon, they had been enslaved by the Syrians, the Greeks and at the time by the Romans. That is vanity and pride!

JESUS was talking about being slaves to sin and that is the problem of the whole world. We are slaves to sin no matter our governmental, social or religious situation. And that is the problem with those who want a socialist government; only those who are the elite truly understand that the bulk of society in a socialist system is not free to do what they want. They are enslaved by the government and elitist to provide what they want and the masses get what is left.

And the masses do not realize it until it is too late because they believe the lies of the elitists and government that they will all be equal! Only GOD can and does promise equality in life and eternity. This is through JESUS CHRIST, all are equal in sin and the need of salvation and all are equal in receiving salvation through JESUS CHRIST! Study John 1 and 2, Romans 1,2,6 and 8.
