What are you hearing?

Below is a word I believe the Lord is speaking to my heart - one I am to share with each of you...

"Hear the Word of the Lord. I have spoken through Moses, My servant, as recorded in Numbers 10...

Nu 10:1-8
10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 "Make two silver trumpets for yourself; you shall make them of hammered work; you shall use them for calling the congregation and for directing the movement of the camps.
3 When they blow both of them, all the congregation shall gather before you at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
4 But if they blow only one, then the leaders, the heads of the divisions of Israel, shall gather to you.
5 When you sound the advance, the camps that lie on the east side shall then begin their journey.
6 When you sound the advance the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall begin their journey; they shall sound the call for them to begin their journeys.
7 And when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but not sound the advance.
8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and these shall be to you as an ordinance forever throughout your generations.
NKJV

"I have been trying to call My congregation - the true believers in Me - to gather for encouragement, direction, warfare prayer, and all the Kingdom work that needs to be accomplished before I send My Son. I have been attempting to assemble the saints to disciple one another, to discipline one another, that every spot and blemish would be removed from My Bride. I have been calling, calling, and calling for each and every one of you to assemble yourselves together, AND SO MUCH THE MORE, as the Day of My Coming is at hand.

The trumpets have been prepared. The Trumpeter is sounding and for those who have ears to hear, the sound is loud and clear. The call to gather as one Body and heed My Voice is growing louder and louder. But what I am witnessing is My people becoming dull of hearing - because their own fleshly, carnal desires are dictating to them what direction to take, what to do with their time, where to spend their money, and how much they can afford to "love the Lord their God". My question to each of you in the Body of Christ is a simple one...what are YOU hearing?

Are you hearing My voice - My direction - My calling for sanctification, for holiness? Are you hearing My call to assemble with the saints, to come out from the world's way of doing business and take up My yoke and mantle? If so, are you following My instructions? If not - why not?

If you can not, will not hear the trumpet at this time, how will you hear the trumpet, the last trumpet, when My call is to rise and meet Me in the air?"

Heb 10:25
25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
NKJV
