DEVELOP A PROPHETIC EAR
Prophecy given through Barbara A. Williams, March 18, 2000
“For there is
coming a sound,” says the Spirit of God.
“There is coming a sound into the earth,” says the Lord.
“There is coming a sound,” says the Spirit, “that not everybody
will be able to hear; not everybody who calls themselves by My name will be able
to hear,” says the Lord. “There
is a sound coming into the earth,” says the Spirit.
“And it is a sound of many waters.
It is a sound of hoof beats. It
is a sound of a rushing mighty wind. It
is a sound of urgency,” says the Spirit.
“It is a sound of intensity,” says the Spirit of God.
“It is a sound,” says the Lord, “that will bring the miraculous,
will bring the dramatic, will bring the instantaneous into the earth in a great,
great measure,” says the Spirit of God. “And
already that sound is manifesting—a little bit here and a little bit there.
And some people don’t recognize the sound; others—they recognize
it,” says the Lord.
“So cultivate a listening ear,” says
the Spirit of God. “Cultivate a
listening ear,” says the Spirit. “Cultivate
a listening ear,” says the Spirit. “For
the things of MY Spirit,”
says the Spirit of God. “For the
things that pertain to Me,” says the Spirit of God.
“For many will run here and there LOOKING,” says the
Lord, “but it will not be a
matter of SEEING but it will be a matter of HEARING,”
says the Spirit. “It will be a
matter of hearing accurately,” says the Lord.
“And understanding what you hear, and interpreting what you hear
accurately by My Spirit,” says the Lord.
“So the only way that one can hear it,” says the Spirit of God, “is
to develop a prophetic ear. Develop
a listening ear to the things of the Spirit that I announce, the things of the
Spirit that I give sound to, the things of the Spirit that I give voice to,”
says the Lord. “For there are
many sounds in the earth,” says the Spirit of God, “and none of them are
without significance,” says the Lord.
“But the coming move will be a move
where people will have to know the sounds,” says the Spirit.
“There are sounds that I have yet to release into the earth,” says
the Lord. “There are sounds that
I must declare. There’s a tuning
in and a fine-tuning into the hearing of My people that I must do,” says the
Spirit, “so that they can hear and accurately move in and accurately receive
what I have, that they might use it, that they might bless people, that they
might serve humanity with the things that I send.
“And so the sound of the hoof beat, the
sound of the roaring, the sound of the intensity, the sound of something that is
stirring,” says the Spirit. “The
sound of a rotor,” says the Spirit of God.
“That whirring sound—the sound of the whirlwind,” says the Spirit
of God, “is coming into the earth. And
those who catch that sound, and follow that sound, and obey that sound will be
equipped,” says the Lord. “Those
who hear that sound and follow that sound and catch that sound will be
fulfilled. They will be made ready.
They will be empowered. They
will have the things that they need. There
will be a sound to call them to run to safety, and there will be a sound to call
them to advance. There will be a
sound to call them to press in and there will be a sound to call them to gather
in,” says the Spirit.
“And so the sound,” says the Lord,
“of the wind of My Spirit—that sound,” says the Lord, “is being released
in greater and greater measure. Those
who hear it and respond to it and interpret it and obey it will have the things
that I promised,” says the Spirit of God.
“But those who are dull of hearing will not know the sound.
They will miss the sound. They
will misinterpret the sound and they will go off to another voice, or they will
go off in the realm of seeing, or they will go off in the realm of feeling,”
says the Spirit of God.
“So sharpen your ears.
Fine-tune your ears to hear. Fine-tune
your ears to hear and discern what My Spirit is saying to My people,” says the
Spirit of God. “For there is an
equipping yet to come to My people. There
is an equipping yet to come to My body. There
is and equipping yet to come,” says the Spirit.
“And they will be gathered in because they hear the sound. They hear the noise. They
hear the voice. They hear the
announcement and they rush because of what they hear. They
rush to hear more of what they hear. They
will rush and be gathered together because of what they hear,” says the Spirit
of the Living God.
“Time spent with Me prepares your ear to
hear,” says the Spirit. “Time
spent with Me prepares your ear to discern this sound,” says the Lord.
“Time spent with Me prepares your ear to hear accurately,” says the
Spirit of the Living God. “So spend time with Me, meditate My word, understand, keep
your mind filled with thoughts of
Me,” says the Lord, “and My word and My promises—what I say about you,
what I say about Me, what I say about all things,” says the Lord.
“Keep yourself tuned into that. Focus
not on yourself and your needs,” says the Lord.
“Focus not on yourself and your needs,” says the Lord.
“Focus not on yourself and your needs,” says the Lord.
“This is a great deception,” says the Spirit, “for it keeps your
ears tuned to the material. It
keeps your ears tuned to the carnal. It
keeps your ears tuned to the things that do not edify in this hour.
And surely you will not prepared and you will not be equipped and you
will not be ready to go forth for the certain sound,” says the Spirit of the
Lord.
“But I am sending that sound from
heaven,” says the Spirit. “I am
sending it down in four whirlwinds,” says the Spirit of the Lord, “for the
four corners of the earth. For the
earth will receive what I have. When
it comes from heaven, I prepare many hearts in many places to receive it,”
says the Spirit of God. “So there
will not be one person who has to carry it everywhere,” says the Spirit of
God. “For I will manifest here, I
will bless one there, I will pop one up here, I will release one there,” says
the Spirit. “I will move in many
different avenues,” says the Spirit of God, “to release that sound and
release that rushing and release that warning and release that healing and
release that miracle and release that blessing that I intend to release into the
earth,” says the Spirit of God.
“And many who think they know will not
know and be confounded. And many
who have not known in the past will know great things,” says the Spirit of
God, “because they are attuned to hear that certain sound of My Spirit,”
says the Spirit of the Living God.
