Recap: The Father's Voice by Pastor Omar Ellison on Sunday, Dec. 28, 2025

Mastering the Art of Spiritual Hearing Are you waiting for a prophet to come to town to hear a word from God? Pastor Omar Ellison reminds us that the greatest Prophet who ever lived—Jesus Christ—resides within every believer. This message is a deep dive into John 10 and the Book of Proverbs, illustrating that hearing God is not a mystical gift for a few, but a covenant right for all of His sheep. Pastor Omar challenges us to cultivate a "sensitive heart"—one that is quick to detach from the noise of the world and incline toward the still, small voice of the Spirit. By understanding that the battlefield is the mind, we can learn to "bow our ears" and apply our hearts to God’s knowledge rather than our own understanding. Main Points of the Message: -- The voice of the Father is primarily recognized through our consciousness and thoughts rather than an audible sound; He uses our mind to speak to us. -- Every believer has spiritual ears and eyes that must be tuned to the Spirit to discern the Father’s leading from the stranger’s mimicry. -- The enemy’s primary goal is to clutter the mind with noise, news, and distractions to prevent us from hearing the subtle guidance of the Lord. -- Like King Solomon, we should pray for an "understanding heart," which translates literally to a "listening heart" that is eager to be led. -- Opening the door to God (as mentioned in Revelation 3:20) is synonymous with obedience; when we obey what we hear, the voice becomes clearer. -- Sensitivity to the Spirit involves a willingness to "detach" quickly—turning off the TV or the phone the moment we sense the Lord is dealing with us. -- We must intentionally "bow" our minds, humbling our own logic and opinions to make room for God’s superior knowledge and understanding.
