Are you listening ? ( 2 ) ( Revelation 9 v 20 - 21 )

 When Stephen was contending for the faith before Jewish leaders,there came a point ,that they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him ,and when he said, ''I see heaven open and the Son of  Man  standing at the right hand of God'',they covered heir ears.It appears to me that I live in a society that has covered their ears to the voice of God.Oh yes their ears are uncovered to what the world is saying,and what Satan is saying.Why did people listen to the rantings of Hitler?, they were blinded by their prejudices and their pride, and that he had taken them out of poverty. Stephen said to those Jewish leaders,''you always resist the Holy Spirit. Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute,'' (7 v 51 - 52) and he adds how they murdered Jesus the righteous one ,Jesus.I wonder are your ears covered,Martin Luther was a brilliant law student,one day as he was riding a horse,he was caught up in an electric storm.Lighting bolts were everywhere,when suddenly one struck the ground near him,and he fell of his horse,uninjured but   shaken, he cried out to God,'' I will become a monk''.I wonder what it will  take for this world ,this nation,this town,and you, before you listen to God?.
