Too much exposure to very intense noises may cause some degree of deafness. Hearing nothing while being in the midst of diverse sounds is a rare kind of deafness. Unable to recognize and understand a particularly familiar sound may be considered a type of sound-deafness.
What is the ear for any more if it is made to hear no more? When the ear is made deaf, it is futile for any mouth to continue speaking to it. It is only the deaf who can hear the dumb; for the deaf ears exactly hear the silence of the dumb mouth. But there will come a time when dumb mouths will open to speak so that deaf ears will be compelled to hear though they detest listening. On that time, when itching ears hear nothing but the blabbers of itchy mouths, the muteness of a true messenger's tongue is spurned. Yet nothing and no one can spur the mouth of a messenger to speak messages except the One who placed the tongue in its position.
It is the Lord alone who can open and shut the mouths of His messengers. Not all that a messenger sees with spiritual eyes and hears with spiritual ears are commanded by the Lord to be proclaimed -- in fact many (if not most) of the messages a messenger receives from the Lord are meant to speak to the messenger himself during his own moments of weakness. At an appointed time or season shall every message intended to be proclaimed be made only. Most of the time, a sign may precede prior to the right timing for speaking a commanded message.
Not every soul is set aside by the Lord to carry the burden of a messenger. When the Lord burdens a soul with a message, that soul becomes restless as a woman carrying life inside her, waiting in travail for the right time to give birth. Like babies in the womb, the Lord's messages are spirit and they are life. Just as life communicates to life, deep calls to deep. John and Jesus, even while they were yet in their respective mothers' wombs, communicated with each other confirming and affirming the "Message" in which they both are part of -- respectively the Forerunner and the Messiah.
The Lord works in foolproof ways and He speaks with a voice like the rushing sound of many waters. One soul's message that is yet to be proclaimed may be confirmed or may be the confirmation of another soul's message (or many other souls' messages). If the messages are truly from the Lord, no matter where messengers may be located in their different places of call, their messages when released may affirm or confirm each other's messages -- and usually it happens in such a way that the concerned messenger recognizes and understands the confirmation or affirmation from the other messengers who, most of the time, are not even known to him. An affirming or confirming message is one which is intended by one messenger for a specific task according to the burden the Lord inspired him to speak about, yet, at the same time, it also carries and conveys a secret different message (which he himself do not know) to another messenger (through the facilitation of the Holy Spirit) that will squarely relate to the message which that other messenger is burdened with but which is yet to be proclaimed.
In the Household of the Lord, the Church, His Body, there are various members and parts -- there are apostles, priests, rabbis, pastors, teachers, preachers, evangelists, missionaries, prophets, messengers, disciples, lay believers, etc. -- and they work in different and unique ways according to their respective callings and giftings, yet they all function together as one body.
But if the various members and parts the Body are really called and meant to function as one, why is it that some of its parts and members still think as if they are not one big body and are still acting like many separate individual groups?
A teacher-preacher is a messenger of the Word. An evangelist is a messenger of the Kingship of the Lord. A foreseer is a messenger of things to come. He who brings a message may be a messenger, but not every one who has a message is a messenger of the Lord, therefore be aware.
A foreseer is bound by the things that the Lord causes him to see and so he speaks according to his burden. Everybody loves him when he speaks of a bright tomorrow; but he is spurned when he reveals gloomy and doomy events of the future. Any one who hears his gloomy word about tomorrow and yet remains steadfast than the rest, is a wise believer. True revelations (such as in the Book of Revelations) of gloomy and doomy future events ought not to be met with fear by those who have been given the chance to know about them beforehand. Rather, it should give them confidence to face the challenges of tomorrow because they are able to do the right things today in ways that will enable them to withstand whatever tests and trials that may come in the future. In the world are many tribulations and no one evades them, all goes through them at different times and seasons. But the Lord always provides warning and guidance beforehand to those who are willing to listen so that they may not stumble or perish completely.
When a messenger conveys a message like a parable or a riddle, it is primarily intended to speak to some specific hearers. Others may hear it but they may not fully understand it. If the Holy Spirit does not open your understanding concerning a particular message, be contented and force not yourself to fully understand the message, lest you will be misguided with your own misinterpretation. When messages are conveyed plainly, they are for everyone to hear and understand.
When a messenger delivers a message in a tongue that only he and higher spiritual beings (and perhaps a very limited few individuals) could actually understand, that message is a sealed message and its meaning may only be revealed when the thing spoken of in the message have already come to pass. Such message serves as secret sign to specific individuals, nations, events, etc. At other times, sealed messages are prayers for specific situations, nations, individuals, etc., that others need not know.
To those who are called by the Lord to soon take over the responsibility of serving Him in a specific duty, fear not those gloomy and doomy days ahead. Though the early seasons of your higher calling may be initiated with the continuation of existing difficulties, the Lord has set aside messengers to speak to you. You will know them as the need arises. This one thing is of great importance: you must learn to discern which are the real ones -- test the spirits, for there are much more many voices who will speak that may cause you to be deceived than those who truly can help you. Sometimes great patience is necessary when it comes to the timing of the Lord, at other times haste is so much required. You have a soul that the Lord can communicate to directly just like any of His messengers, learn the ways of hearing and listening to the voice of the Lord. Therefore, know that you are first your own messenger and messages from other messengers may confirm or affirm the messages that the Lord may put in your soul as you work for Him.
I posted a sealed message specific for your nation as a sign of the events of the days to come. It's meaning may be revealed after you have made your vow because events have already started unfolding.
The days of the coming seasons call for real unity among nations and among leaders of different sectors. Therefore may all those called and set aside by the Lord for the even greater tasks ahead arise and rise to the occasions they have been prepared to function.
Let there be courage to face the difficulties in the seasons to come, for the Lord is a God of order, justice, and mercy.
