As we continue with our empowerment series today, we want to look at how we can prepare our ears to hear God. God is always speaking, sadly we are not always listening. And there are certain things that hinder us from hearing God. Proverbs 3:5-6 (MSG) says, “Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He’s the one who will keep you on track.”
You can buy the best radio there is, but if you don’t tune into a channel, you won’t be able to listen to anything. The same goes for us. We have to tune in to be able to hear God speaking to us. God has already given us the capacity to hear Him, and He is speaking to us all the time, we just have to learn to listen. We have to learn to tune in.
Today we will be looking at “The Parable of the Sower”. In this parable Jesus gives us four different types of scenarios. Then Jesus helps us by going through each scenario in the parable with additional explanation. Now each one of us fall into one of these categories. As we look at each category, we will look at ways we can remove the obstacles and prepare our ears to hear God.

The “comfort of the Holy Spirit” is the unique ministry of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit to be our “Comforter” (John 14:16 KJV), “Advocate” (John 14:26 NIV), or “Helper” (John 16:7 ESV). The Greek word for the Holy Spirit in these verses is parakletos, meaning “one who is called to our side.” When we receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, God dispatches His Holy Spirit to reside in us, always ready to assist, console, reassure, and guide us in times of distress or need.
We walk in the comfort of the Holy Spirit when we happily recognise that God has given us a Helper to be always at our side. We are never alone. Through the Spirit, we receive constant assurance that we are God’s children. He draws us closer to Jesus and strengthens us in our inner being. The comfort of the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness when we don’t know how to pray. The Spirit gives us the power and wisdom to witness with boldness.
Today we want to look at four practical ways we can walk in the Comfort of the Holy Spirit.
Walking In The Fear of The Lord by Pastor Ras

The fear of the Lord is a topic mentioned frequently in Scripture, especially in the book of Proverbs. It is not the slavish fear of a criminal before a judge but the loving and respectful fear of a child for his or her parents.
If we want to understand God’s works and God’s Word, we must maintain this reverential fear of the Lord, for this attitude is the basis for receiving spiritual wisdom and understanding.
Job 28:28 (NIV) 28 And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.”
Proverbs 1:7 (NIV) 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
The word “beginning” means “the principal part,” and without this we are unprepared to learn God’s truth. But fearing the Lord leads to obeying the Lord, and obedience is important to spiritual understanding (see John 7:17).
