Shut up and Listen!

Today more than ever we have people wanting to hear from God. They pray and pray but get nothing. i believe there problem is lisitening. People say they do not know what they are called to do. they say i do not know what my spiritual gifts are. I say shut up and listen. Quit complaing and pray. Listen with your spirit ears and not you physical ears. This is what God says to us the church in Revelations 3:13

Rev 3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

You still do not know what you are called to do. Well God will reveal it to.
Not in your time but his. In fact i believe all people who all save have a calling.

Eph 4:11 And he gave some,apostles; and some,prophets; and some,evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;


1Co 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.


1Co 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, even as ye were led.


1Co 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God, calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.


1Co 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.


1Co 12:5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.


1Co 12:6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all.


1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man for profit.


1Co 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another, the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;


1Co 12:9 To another, faith by the same Spirit; to another, the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;


1Co 12:10 To another, the working of miracles; to another, prophecy; to another, discerning of spirits; to another, divers kinds of languages; to another, the interpretation of languages:


1Co 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the same Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.


1Co 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.


1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.


1Co 12:14 For the body is not one member, but many.


1Co 12:15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?


1Co 12:16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?



1Co 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?


1Co 12:18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.


1Co 12:19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?


1Co 12:20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.


1Co 12:21 And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.


1Co 12:22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:


1Co 12:23 And those members of the body, which we think to be less honorable, upon these we bestow more abundant honor; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.


1Co 12:24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honor to that part which lacked:


1Co 12:25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.


1Co 12:26 And thus if one member suffers all the members suffer with it; or, if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.


1Co 12:27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

1Co 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers, next miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of languages.



1Co 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?


1Co 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?


1Co 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak in languages? do all interpret?


1Co 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts. And yet I show to you a more excellent way.

So you see every one is called and every one has gift . The Only stipulation is your personal salvation.
So many times we use prayer as a one way street we pray and talk to God but we do not listen to his response .So shut and listen and you will hear a response.
