pMac emphasizes the importance of having a hearing heart—an attentive, obedient, and understanding spirit receptive to Gods voice. Using Revelation 2:7 as a theme, he highlights Gods repeated cry throughout history, from Old Testament prophets to the present, calling His people to return, recover, and possess His purpose. Mac underscores that Gods cry is a deep, loving, and patient plea, often repeated seven times in Revelation, illustrating His desire for us to truly hear and respond. He explains that a hearing heart, or Shema, involves both understanding and obeying Gods word, exemplified by Solomons request for an understanding heart and Abrahams obedience. Mac stresses that this hearing is personal and individual—each believer must respond to Gods call personally, not through others. He warns against spiritual obstacles like sin and self-life, which can dull our spiritual ears, and emphasizes the need for continual cleansing by the blood of the Lamb. The process of opening our ears involves humility, surrender, and prayer, asking the Holy Spirit to pierce and cleanse our hearts. Ultimately, having a hearing heart leads to overcoming—entering into victory and eternal life—by responding to Gods call with love, obedience, and faith. Mac concludes with a prayer for spiritual sensitivity, humility, and readiness to receive Gods full burden at the upcoming conference./p
