ARE YOU APPLYING GOD’S “EAR SHIELD”?

… above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.  Ephesians 6:16

Adjacent to the front counter of the dive shop we visited this past week stood a product called “EarShield”.  I asked the manager of this shop how it worked. He replied that there is a unique blend of oils that cleanses and conditions the ear, repelling water that can cause swimmer’s ear.  He said it worked similar to “Rain-X”.

If “EarShield” could work in the ears, as good as Rain-X did, I knew I would be very impressed. Fourteen years ago, I had used Rain-X on the windows of a rental car for the first time on an East Coast trip. The night prior to this, I was driving in a snowstorm and the windshield wipers were so ineffective in removing the snow and ice that my visibility was reduced to a small hole below the rear-view mirror. Talk about dangerous! After calling the car rental place to ask what was wrong with their windshield wipers, they told me to go to an auto parts store, pick-up some Rain-X and apply it as directed. Guess what? I had no further problems.

With over 500 hours of videos being uploaded to youtube per minute and 29 million podcasts episodes being available in 2019, along with an ever increasing amount of information being disseminated through websites, movies, television shows, and news networks, your spiritual ears can feel like they are being caught in a snow storm so thick that you can’t hear anything God is trying to tell you. What’s God’s recommendation? The Anointed Word of God – God’s specially designed “Ear Shield”.

What’s God’s recommendation?  The Anointed Word of God – God’s specially designed “Ear Shield”.

God’s “Ear Shield” protects your hearing in two ways. First, it acts like a spiritual weather app, warning you about the adverse weather conditions, so that you don’t put yourself in harm’s way. Second, it gives faith (Rom. 10:17), God’s perspective, causing the words from this world and the kingdom of darkness to be repelled. According to Ephesians 6:16 your faith in God and His Word acts like a shield, repelling or quenching every counterfeit word created by the wicked one.

Yes, spiritual swimmer’s ear is preventable! But, it’s up to you whether you will apply God’s solution, the Anointed Word of God – God’s specially designed “Ear Shield.” Join us in our last session of “How to Hear God’s Voice” this Tuesday.  In this 6 session course you will learn how to apply God’s “Ear Shield” to your own life.
