Indeed... "he that has an ear let him hear what the Spirit is saying"..(multiple entrys).. even more passages the same is implied or metaphorically intoned..

So very true. And not everyone has "ears to hear:"

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. – Matthew 13:13-16

Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word. – John 8:43

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: - John 10:27

To God be the glory!

[ For this people's heart is waxed gross, and [their] ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with [their] eyes, and hear with [their] ears, and should understand with [their] heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed [are] your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. – Matthew 13:13-16 ]

Now "thats" an interesting piece of data I've never really noticed before(bold).. A whole conversation could be had on that blurb alone.. Converted from what to what?.. I think.. Or even from what INTO what?.. Sounds like a metamorphosis.. does'nt it.. From utter blindness and dullness of heart to "something else".. I have several local "handles"(posters) in mind..
