God's Promises



One of God’s promises is made to His people as He speaks of the New Jerusalem in Isaiah 65:24: “And it shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.”
God is telling them that He will anticipate their prayers and requests before they even call out to Him. Before they even finish calling out His name and making their requests known to Him, He will hear. In other words, He will foresee and deal with their requests in advance. How awesome is that!
Hear in Hebrew means to perceive, discern, give ear to, listen, understand, regard, to receive communication. God is receiving our communication in advance! He is “in tune” and ready to receive requests and listen to us. The question is “are we in tune with God”?
God wants to hear from us and wants to bless us in ways that only He can. But He can’t do it unless we make the call! In Jeremiah 33:3, God says “Call on me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” God not only wants to answer our requests, but He also wants to teach us and show us “mighty things” which we do not know about or understand. He wants to show us the truth of the revelation. But He can’t if we are not “in tune” with Him and His Word. If there is too much “static” or “interference”, we can’t get good, solid reception with God. If there is too much gossip around us, negativity, jealousy, etc., then our mind becomes cluttered with the “interference” and “static” of the enemy (Satan), which is exactly what Satan is constantly trying to do in us.
God wants us to “be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2) and to keep our minds transfixed in the heavenly realm, or in a higher elevation, so that we can have “crystal clear” communication with Him through the spiritual realm.
