Item	Conditions to Hear What the Spirit Says
Meaning	To hear the Spirit is an inward, opened hearing to perceive God’s economy.
Reason	Although the Spirit speaks to all the churches, not all believers follow what they hear; thus the call for overcomers.
Metaphor	The ear must be opened, circumcised, cleansed by blood, and anointed by the Spirit.
Explanation	Spiritual seeing depends on spiritual hearing; dull ears result in blindness to God’s move.
Way	Pray for opened ears; accept circumcision to deal with rebellion; be cleansed by the blood; be anointed by the Spirit; stand in the proper position in the churches.
Result	Produces hearing ears → produces overcomers → brings believers into God’s economy.
Purpose	That believers may not only hear but also follow what the Spirit speaks.
Example	John heard the voice first and then saw the vision.
Application	In meetings and Bible reading, seek not only understanding but inward hearing of the Spirit.
Burden	To produce a group who have ears to hear and who follow what they hear.
Prophesying Guide	Lord, open, circumcise, cleanse, and anoint my ears so that I may hear what the Spirit says to the churches and become an overcomer.
Conclusion	Overcomers come not from position but from hearing ears formed through divine dealing.
