Jeremiah 35:15 (ESV)
I have sent to you all my servants the prophets, sending them persistently, saying, ‘Turn now every one of you from his evil way, and amend your deeds, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to you and your fathers.’ But you did not incline your ear or listen to me.
Hearing the word of God is different from listening to the word of God. Hearing is a physical phenomenon of the flesh. It doesn’t require much thought or change. Listening is a heart phenomenon that involves transformation. The seed of the word is received and begins to take root.
