We recently slept on the church’s altar for several days, and I confess that there were nights I could not sleep. Why? Because there were 2 or 3 pastors who would not stop snoring—but I promise I will not reveal who they were. 
I had already had enough of that noise and was amazed at how my wife was able to sleep without complaining. It was then that she told me she was using earplugs; she slept like a baby because she could not hear anything.
“Wonderful idea,” I thought, and decided to do the same. It worked wonders for me!
What does this have to do with our spiritual lives? It’s simple. The Lord Jesus said:
“If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.” (Matthew 18:8,9)
Ok, we “cut” our hand and foot off and “pluck” our eye out if they make us sin, but what do we do with our ear if it is filled with negative words coming from every side?
What do we do when the devil tries to speak to us through a family member, friends, etc., saying negative words to separate us from God?
Easy. Put on your “spiritual earplugs” and completely ignore those demonic noises. Then you will sleep peacefully, not just for one night, but for all eternity.
And do not forget to remove earwax in order to hear God’s voice. “If you are willing and obedient,
you shall eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel,
you shall be devoured by the sword; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” (Isaiah 1:19,20).
God bless.
