Anyone With Ears To Hear Should Listen And Understand

MATHEW 11:14-19
““Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! “But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions, and saying: ‘We played the flute for you, And you did not dance; We mourned to you, And you did not lament.’ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭11‬-‭19‬ ‭NKJV‬

It’s not that John was a resurrected Elijah, rather he took on his prophetic role of confronting sin and directing people to God (MALACHI 3:1).
His purpose was to prepare the way for Jesus arrival.
But today, in the last days, Elijah like Prophets will be raised up to take on the role of getting everything ready for the return of Christ (MATHEW 17:10-12), indeed many are already operating in new powers and freedoms in Christ.
Jesus condemned the attitude of His generation, for in their rebellion, It didn’t matter what He said, they took the opposite view.
They were cynical and skeptical because he challenged their comfortable lives.
It’s not so different today.
So often we justify our inconsistencies because listening to God challenges our comfortable lifestyles.
Salvation requires that we change the way we live; giving up ungodly things and practices, rather than justifying them, separating from the disgusting things of this world and living godly lives (2 CORINTHIANS 6:17).
It means allowing God to transform us by the renewing of our minds (ROMANS 12:2), that we become more Christ like in our ways and attitudes, and we come to think like Jesus, and understand what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (ROMANS 12:1-2).
But the truth is, even in the midst of the darkness and corruption of this world, many need waking up!
God is moving, preparing His people for a showdown in such a time as this.
The evil of this world is today facing the righteousness of God.
He has been preparing His elite to receive the new powers and freedoms that He is affording His specially chosen people for such a time as this, to expose the corruption in world and church leadership as He systematically dismantle the old.
My beloved, we are witnessing Gods move on this earth and over six thousand churches have closed their doors throughout Europe in the last few years.
In the first miracle, Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding ceremony because they embarrassedly, run out of wine.
Mary, desperately asked Jesus to intervene in this humiliating situation, but in His response, said, “Women, it is not My time yet.
But then proceeded to make new wine from water.
It was immediately noticed that the wine Jesus made from just water was better than what the people served first and thought was the very best.
Having tasted the new, they said, “Jesus saved the best until last.”
JOHN 2-11).
The event was a prophetic message of today and we are now living out the last miracle.
Jesus saved the best until last.
He said, ““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
It is difficult to understand what works could possibly be greater than what Christ did back in His days on earth, but it shall come to pass as is written, and we are living in that time today.
Jesus said, “No one puts a piece from a new garment on an old one; otherwise the new makes a tear, and also the piece that was taken out of the new does not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved. And no one, having drunk old wine, immediately desires new; for he says, ‘The old is better.’ ””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭5‬:‭36‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Still, many of the old structered church leaders are trying to hold on. They believe that the old is better.
But it’s time to wake up to Christ church, and let go of the old and walk in the new.
The old church was structured by the likes of the Pharisees and continued in all kinds of religious rituals and acts and hadn’t really changed much over the years.
While Jesus used these ministries, they are now all but dismantled so that Christ authentic five fold ministry can rise for such a time as this.
“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.” (Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth? He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.) And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭4‬, ‭6‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Sadly, for many reasons, pride, fear, rebellion, and such as these, many are not hearing what the Lord is saying.
They continue with their attempts to hang on to the old, rebellious of the new and are inadvertently deceiving their congregations.
The Lord said through His prophet Hosea, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
‭‭Hosea‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
As I have told you before, I tell you again, your church may feel good, the worship may make you tingle, and the prayers and preaching may sound impressive. You may even hear prophecy and testimony of miracles and healing, but if it’s not Christ five fold ministry, it shall profit you nothing.
Jesus said, ““Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭21‬-‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
Wake up people! Don’t be one of those who are turned away; let everyone with ears to hear, listen!
God’s word is wonderful, but it can only help you if you gain knowledge, understanding, and revelation, and put all that you learn from it into action.
But the truth is, knowledge is nothing more than garbage in comparison to knowing Christ (PHILIPPIANS 3:8-9).
My beloved, many people are in bondage to the old structured church and its doctrines.
Salvation comes through relationship with our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!
“Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
“They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?””
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
My beloved, even the disciples were held in bondage to religion.
But Jesus is the truth, and by knowing Him, they knew the truth and was made free.
Like them, my beloved, by knowing the truth, Jesus Christ, you shall be made free.
“Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭34‬-‭36‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
