In this message Annette Capps draws from Solomon's prayer in First Kings 3 to explore what it means to have a "listening heart." Rather than asking for wealth or power, Solomon requested an understanding mind and a hearing heart, a model Annette unpacks through the Hebrew word shama, meaning to hear diligently, with attention and obedience.
She examines wisdom's call in Proverbs and the covenant conditions of Deuteronomy 28, showing that God's blessings are not automatic but are activated through attentive, responsive listening. Annette challenges believers to shift from hearing with the mind to receiving with the heart — distinguishing between intellectual agreement and true spiritual receptivity.
She also addresses the role of wise counsel, prayer as a two-way conversation, and developing sensitivity to the many ways God speaks. Practical and scripture-grounded, this message calls every believer to cultivate the discipline of listening as a pathway to wisdom, peace, and confident faith.
