The Noise that Surrounds You

Ecclesiastes 10:13-14 Fools base their thoughts on foolish assumptions, so their conclusions will be wicked madness; they chatter on and on.

So the noise that surrounds you constantly. Your world is full of people that believe all the foolishness they are fed.  Although this astounds you, instead allow it to teach you. Watch your words. Do not waste them on those who have demonstrated that they will not – can not – listen to and think about what you have to say. Do not speak in anger or hostility or frustration. It is not only a waste of your time, it actually repels those that I would have you reach. Listen past what they say to what they do not say. What is the real underpinning of their messages? Is it fear? Is it anger? Is it frustration? Is it hostility toward Me and all that I represent? Are you hearing from that person, or is it an evil spirit that responds?  When you are able to listen with your ears, your mind, your heart and your spirit, you will be most successful in reaching that person. Do not listen to anyone in order to respond. Listen in order to understand. There will be times when this results in your understanding that person. Other times you will see the spirit behind the message being given. In all events, you are to be slow to respond and bring all that you see, hear, feel and discern of that person to Me. I will help shape an answer. Or I will lead you to just walk away so as not to waste what precious time you have to reach others. Time is of the essence here. Lean into Me and I will guide you. There is so much more at play here than you can discern on your own.  You need Me in all of it. IT would be a foolish assumption on your part to believe you can do any of this on your own. Stay close. Seek My guidance. Listen to what I say. This is not something you can do alone.
