The Sovereign Lord says: “Do not allow yourself to lose focus and become distracted by the noise around you. Stop listening to white noise, for it blocks out My voice! When you focus on the noise around you can end up following something else you have heard or seen that is not from Me. Such a focus weakens your spiritual attention and your ability to connect with Holy Spirit will grow patchy. Do not allow the white noise to cause your mission to be blurred, your effectiveness as My prophet to be compromised, or your growth towards fullness to be stunted.
Don’t even consider listening to whispers which question your calling because you have become codependent on such seductive intrusions. Trust in such constant commotion is misplaced. Since when did you set aside My still small voice of revelation?” says the Lord.
“As I spoke through the voice of the prophet Malachi, I say to you: ‘Return to Me and I will return to you’. Cast aside worthless messages which the world so loves and which the enemy is so eager to have you consume. Tune them out and tune back into the sound of My voice. I have so much to tell you – but I need you to listen.”
Activation:
As Jesus would withdraw to a solitary place to be with His Father, set aside some time in the day to be alone in a quiet environment with God. Use scripture like noise-cancelling headphones – listen to an audio translation rather than turning on background noise. Or repeat a favourite Bible verse over and over in your head or under your breath to gain the focus you need to move into a place where you can reconnect with the Lord and quiet the other voices that seek to pull you away.
Turn off all devices. Come just as you are before the Lord – without any agenda or need for blessing or help or support. In stillness, turn off the white noise. And listen…
“Yet from the days of your fathers you have turned away from My statutes and ordinances and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord of hosts. “But you say, ‘How shall we return?’
Malachi 3:7 (AMP)
20 My son, pay attention to my words and be willing to learn;
Open your ears to my sayings.21 Do not let them escape from your sight;
Keep them in the center of your heart.22 For they are life to those who find them,
And healing and health to all their flesh.Proverbs 4:20-22 (AMP)
18 And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word,
19 but the worries and cares of the world [the distractions of this age with its worldly pleasures], and the deceitfulness [and the false security or glamour] of wealth [or fame], and the passionate desires for all the other things creep in and choke out the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
20 And those [in the last group] are the ones on whom seed was sown on the good soil; and they hear the word [of God, the good news regarding the way of salvation] and accept it and bear fruit—thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much [as was sown].”
Mark 4:18-20 (AMP)
