Those who abandon the Word will never feel the power of the Holy Spirit.
It is interesting that Jesus constantly says :
Mat_11:15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Mar_4:9 And he said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Mar_4:23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Luk_8:8 And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Luk_14:35 It is of no use either for the soil or for the manure pile. It is thrown away. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
But it changes in revelation:
Rev_2:7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’
Rev_2:11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.’
Rev_2:17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.’
Rev_2:29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
Rev_3:6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
Rev_3:13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
Rev_3:22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
