* People talk about "Anointed Preaching," when the Church needs “Anointed Hearing.”
* Scripture often requires people to hear what God has to say, as in, “He that has an ear, let him hear.”
* It is The Hearing Heart that is The Obedient Heart.
The Preacher Can be Anointed When he Gets the Message, When he Delivers the Message & After he Has Delivered the Message, but Only A Hearer with Anointed Ears Produces Fruit.
ANOINTED PREACHERS
* It can come while the preacher is preparing to proclaim the truth of God, during his time of study, prayer and meditation.

ANOINTED HEARERS
* Anointed Hearing can begin when a person prepares his heart to receive the truth of God, through prayer, study and meditation.
* Anointed Hearing can happen as a person listens to the truth of God being declared through preaching, singing, testifying, praying, exhorting, confessing, dedicating.
* Anointed Hearing can happen as a person reflects on the truth of God they heard or read at an earlier time.
If people would come to service expecting spiritually to receive a gem of truth, a drink of water, a morsel of food, they would come with ears to hear.

JUDGE NOT, LEST YOU BE JUDGED
* When people come to church, ready to judge the preacher's "Anointing," they have already come without their own "Anointing."
* Some people claim they are looking for "Anointing" when what they want is "Entertainment" or "Amusement."
* The Power of the Gospel is not in the Performance of the Preacher, but in the Provision of the Propitiation.
