Isaiah 50: 4 reads,
” The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of disciples,
That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word.
He awakens Me morning by morning, He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.”
The prophet indicates the he is aroused each day to greet a voice. The voice of God. In this context he is hearing God speak of national concerns, the state of the nation.
America is in need of listening prophets who speak with authority and conviction. We need prophets who have the backing of heaven in the demonstration of the power of His Spirit. Our nation has fallen into a deep pit of unbelief and moral decay. Our churches promote pulpiteers who have no backbone and buy into the lie that to rebuke is unkind.
Tell the truth prophet of God. But before you speak, listen to the Father’s heart as a disciple. Learn and then teach.
So true. Good word prophet.
