How to Have A Trained Ear
 
© 2022 Dr. Samaria M Colbert
 
To be trained means to be taught a particular skill behavior, practice, that is developed over time. It also means having been developed through instruction, or practice. When I speak of training your ear, I am not referring to how we hear from God alone. I am also referring to how you excel as a seasoned professional in your field of practice. Having a trained ear in what your gift, talent and chosen profession is makes you an expert and a class above the rest. Having a trained ear means you are no longer ordinary or mediocre you excel and then are qualified to be considered amongst the great.
 
The first way to obtain a trained ear is when we listen and follow instructions.
 
Matthew 7:24 NLT

24 “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock.

It is one thing to hear wisdom, another thing to implement. When you have a teachable spirit, you are training your ear to operate in excellence.

Having a trained ear only comes through divine relationship with Christ, that means spending time with Him. Through prayer, meditation, and worship. Think about it. Say you just met someone you perceive maybe your future mate. How do you discover or confirm this person maybe the one? Through spending time with them. After observing their character and having crucial conversations you will either confirm your premonitions about them or deny them further access into your life based upon what you observed. It is the same with God, when you spend time with Him, you get to know His voice. You discover who you are and who He is. You are then training your ear to do God’s will.

John 10:27 New Living Translation
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

John 10:5 New Living Translation
5 They won’t follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don’t know his voice.”

Active disobedience prevents you from having a trained ear. You must spend time in study if you want to have a trained ear. You study your Bible. You also study books, research articles and attend seminars in your field of practice to have a trained ear.

2 Timothy 2:15 New Living Translation

15 Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.
We must pray for discernment. Discernment sharpens your ear and prevents us from walking in deception.

John 16:13 New Living Translation

13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.

Notice the spirit of truth guides us into all truth. What you feed your heart, mind and spirit will grow.
Meditate on scripture.

Joshua 1:8 New Living Translation

8 Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.
Ask God for wisdom and He will train your ear for it.

James 1:5 New Living Translation

5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
You must rid yourself of selfish, motives and biases to have a trained ear. Remember unhealthy motives trains your ear for self-exaltation, not God exaltation.

Why people don’t have a trained ear?
·      Impure motives
·      False narratives.
·      Following false prophets
·      They don’t spend time in the word of God.
·      Being a Sunday morning saint. Meaning you only talk to God or hear from God when you attend church on Sunday.
·      Lack of faith.
·      They have no intention of changing.

Ezekiel 33:30-31 New Living Translation

30 “Son of man, your people talk about you in their houses and whisper about you at the doors. They say to each other, ‘Come on, let’s go hear the prophet tell us what the Lord is saying!’ 31 So my people come pretending to be sincere and sit before you. They listen to your words, but they have no intention of doing what you say. Their mouths are full of lustful words, and their hearts seek only after money.

According to Matthew 4:13-19 they don’t have deep roots, problems, persecution, worries, the lure of wealth, and desire for other things.
​
I encourage you to commit yourself to obtain a trained ear, then God will make you a success.

Joshua 1:8 New Living Translation
​
8 Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.
