Have you ever been in a place so loud you couldn’t even hear your own thoughts? Maybe it was a concert, a crowded family gathering, or even just driving with the radio on full blast. Now imagine trying to have a conversation in that chaos—how hard would it be to hear the other person?
That’s exactly what many of us are doing spiritually.
We fill our lives with sounds—music, podcasts, social media scrolls, TV in the background, and endless chatter. The noise becomes normal. But in that sea of sound, something holy gets drowned out: the voice of God.
Drowning in the Volume
A woman named Jasmine once shared her struggle with hearing from God. She was on fire for Him, desperate for direction in a season of confusion. But every time she prayed, she felt like God was silent.
So she turned up the worship music, trying to “feel” Him more. She started binge-watching sermons, trying to catch a word. Yet peace never came. In fact, anxiety increased. Why?
Because Jasmine didn’t realize she was still addicted to noise—even if it was Christian noise.
One day, out of frustration, she turned everything off. She sat in complete silence.
It was uncomfortable at first. Her mind raced. Her body fidgeted. But then… she heard something deep within.
Not a booming voice, but a gentle whisper:
“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10
That was the first time in weeks she really felt God’s presence. Not through music, not through sermons—but in silence.
The Biblical Truth About Sound and Silence
Throughout the Bible, we see God show up not in the noise, but in the quiet.
1 Kings 19:11-12 tells us how Elijah looked for God in the wind, earthquake, and fire. But the Lord was not in any of those.
“And after the fire came a gentle whisper.” (NIV)
God chooses the still, small voice because He wants intimacy. He doesn’t want to compete with the world’s volume. He wants your attention, not your background noise.
When Music Becomes a Gate
Music is powerful. It moves emotions, stirs memories, and can shift atmospheres. But if we’re not careful, it can also become a gateway—either to God’s Spirit or to distraction and demonic influence.
Not all music is evil, but all music has spiritual influence.
If you’re constantly flooding your ears with music that exalts the world, chaos, lust, or rebellion—even in catchy beats—it can block your spiritual clarity. You’re hearing something, but it’s not Heaven.
Even worship music, when used as a substitute for stillness with God, can keep us from truly hearing His direction.
Are You Willing to Turn Down the Volume?
The Lord is calling His people back to a depth—a deeper relationship, a deeper clarity, and a deeper surrender.
But we can’t go deep if we’re always loud.
We must learn the discipline of silence. Not silence as punishment, but silence as positioning. It is in the quiet places where God speaks deepest.
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27 (NIV)
You can’t follow a voice you can’t hear. And you can’t hear a voice that’s being drowned out by constant sound.
A Mouthpiece Challenge:
Take one day this week and minimize your sounds:
• Turn off the background music.
• Sit in silence for at least 15 minutes.
• Ask God: “What are You saying to me right now?”
You might be surprised how loud Heaven becomes when the earth quiets down.
Beloved, your breakthrough, your next step, your healing—it’s not hiding in the noise. It’s waiting in the depths of soundlessness. The voice of the Lord is gentle, yet full of power. You were never meant to miss it.
Let your life be a sanctuary, not a concert. Let your ears be tuned to Heaven, not just your playlist.
Because the deeper the silence, the clearer the sound of God.
