There are different ways of accepting God's Word and they produce
different kinds of fruit accordingly. Do we take time to listen or are we too
busy to pray?

sacrifices that we think will please God we're better off responding to the
immediate needs of our family, our friends and those we work with daily.
"Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening" (1 Sm
3:9). These two activities are the fundamental criteria for recognizing the
presence of all true prophecy. God must speak, and we must listen carefully.
