God presents Himself in the Bible as being open and interested in hearing whatever concerns His children (James 5:13; 1 Pet. 5:7). He wants to hear whatever interests us, even the smallest, most insignificant details of our lives. Consequently, we should feel free to unburden our hearts and tell God anything and everything. He is, after all, the friend who sticks closer than a brother. Why do we not feel at liberty to converse with Him just as casually and comfortably as we would with our most intimate acquaintance? To address this important phenomenon of talking to God, I felt the leading of the Lord to confront the matter of getting answers to our prayers. Unless you are a Pharisee standing in the marketplace, no one prays just to hear himself praying or to receive glory from man. No one prays not to receive a response. No one asks, not expecting to receive. Rather, prayers are prayed to be acknowledged and answered. Especially prayers without ceasing are made for responses, acknowledgment, and answers, without ceasing. Time and maturity have taught me that to pray without ceasing basically refers to recurring prayer, not nonstop talking. Thus, it is to be our way of life, as we should be continually in an attitude of prayer.
Advance Praise for He That Hath an Ear “I believe Dr. Thompson has given the Church a faithful tool for further study of the Epistle of Revelation.” —Dr. Donald Ray McNeal, Pastor of Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church “I have never seen a better interpretation of the Word for today that is so easily read and understood.” —Dean Frances Whitney, Antioch District Congress of Christian Education For many, the Book of Revelation remains a mystery—its message evaluated and pondered by theologians, pastors, and others. In He That Hath an Ear, author Bishop Steven G. Thompson presents his analysis of the Book of Revelation. Fascinated by this book of the Bible since childhood, Thompson delivers a basic but in-depth understanding of Revelation. Focused on applications to today’s life, He That Hath an Ear addresses the question of: What is the spirit saying to the Church? In the outline, Thompson discusses Christ and the church, lessons for the church, the Seals and the Sealed, the Seven Vials of Wrath, and the Two Suppers. It provides insight into this book that was born out of John’s profound and proli?c spiritual experiences while exiled at Patmos.
