Cultural Noise
Why so much noisy, chaotic bickering in our family, schools, churches, community, states, nations??? Hmmmmm think about it… Have you ever lived in such a time where so many people have such a short temper? Noisy-Noisy backbiting people. Stop the noise. How? It begins getting back to our roots… remember this:
By the seventh day, God had completed creating his masterpiece, so on the seventh day, he rested from all his work. So God blessed the seventh day and made it sacred, because on it, he paused to rest from all his work of creation. Genesis 2:3
Our Spiritual DNA
We were created to have downtime! Resting our soul is a need that is wired into our DNA. We become noisy-noisy, strife filled people when our soul is exhausted, it is a part of our human condition that is truly out of control… noisy-noisy soul snapping going on in families and in all people to people contact throughout our day in our cultural chaos.
If you are tired from carrying heavy burdens, come to me and I will give you rest. Take the yoke I give you. Put it on your shoulders and learn from me. I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest. This yoke is easy to bear, and this burden is light. Matt. 11:28-30
Growing Cultural Chaos
When the noisy-noisy strife continues, it just piles on our aggravated soul. Then comes the opinions, lots of opinions, every one has them, our main stream media is full, absolutely full of scripted assumption, speculation, presupposition, and opinionated lies, lies, lies. Yes there are deceptive opinions flying everywhere we go, making everything in our culture so noisy, and there is no soul rest… no quiet place to retreat from the deception of the enemy of our soul. People in a season such as this one, are aggravated and opinionated and wildly weary soul and that creates a loud cultural chaos that eats away at every possible unity between us, keeping us noisy-noisy strife filled and unhappy, and very soul fractionated people with a growing cultural chaos.

Crazy Cultural Chaos
Soul rest, sabbath rest, just rest at all, is missing from our society along with God’s ways, truth and life. We are a harried soul exhausted people. The truth is, without God, we are not good, we have no compassion, no grace, no mercy, no forgiveness, just a bunch of noisy-noisy strife filled, self centered people, serving no power higher than self, casting away all of our self-inadequacies by blaming other people for them, and leaving our homes, communities, nations, and societies, wounded, fractioned and Lame. Be-LAME! We need God, we need time with Him, alone. He is our soul rest, the quiet to our noisy-noisy strife. The peace for our soul in the midst of this crazy cultural chaos we find ourselves in.
Lord, how wonderful you are! You have stored up so many good things for us, like a treasure chest heaped up and spilling over with blessings— all for those who honor and worship you! Everybody knows what you can do for those who turn and hide themselves in you. So hide all your beloved ones in the sheltered, secret place before your face. Overshadow them with your glory-presence. Keep them from these accusations, the brutal insults of evil men. Tuck them safely away in the tabernacle where you dwell. The name of the Lord is blessed and lifted high! For his marvelous miracle of mercy protected me when I was overwhelmed by my enemies. Psalms 31:19-21
A Peaceful Soul
We need soul rest, it is written in our DNA and we can’t ignore this need any longer. I dare you to try it, soul rest. Step outside of the noisy-noisy for a moment. Try it, even if you have to get a bit radical to get some soul peace. Shut yourself in your closet, sit on the ground and lift your soul to God, make that heart to heart connection with God, even if it is for a couple of seconds, you will feel His peace, it will rest your soul. I am telling you… that once you try it, you will crave it, soul rest in the Presence of God, which kicks the noisy-noisy out of your life and leaves you with a peaceful soul. Take 10 Minutes this week, set them aside, meet with God and listen up to this song:
Let gentleness be seen in every relationship, for our Lord is ever near. then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ. Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising him always. Put into practice the example of all that you have heard from me or seen in my life and the God of peace will be with you in all things. Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, Be cheerful with joyous celebration in every season of life. Let your joy overflow! Philippians 4:4-9
The Sound Of Peace
Heart to heart with God, is like a shout of His voice, Peace Be Still! Do not underestimate the value of this vital-vertical God connection in times such as these. We take some time apart from the noisy-noisy, where people are in factions of strife, and disunity is fractioning our soul into pieces. We give permission for no one to speak into our heart but God, for that moment, He says: Peace Be Still. Our Soul Knows Rest. The chaos of noisy-noisy cultural combat between fractions is silenced as unity between God and us prevails. Awwwww that precious soul rest in a noisy-noisy culture is like better than anything we could ever hope for or imagine. Listen Up To This 1 Minute Encouragement Video: The Sound Of Peace.
Heart To Heart Connection With God
In our noisy-noisy culture, we can fix our strife saturated soul, by that moment of heart to heart connection with God, that strong vital-vertical relationship starts to develop, and our DNA roars with joy as the stillness we were created to need in our soul, disrupts the chaos of confusion with the voice of God. God’s voice is strong in truth and God’s joy strengthens our inner spiritual soul. We have peace in heart to heart connection with God. Do you realize that all the deception that we take in all day long through opinionated people who think they know what they don’t know, and are shoving it down our throats, this aggravates our soul, and this frustration of our soul, is instantly repealed by one moment alone with God and His truth. Alone with God, heart to Heart with God, in our vital-vertical personal relationship, God speaks peace, our soul still, SILENCE… He quiets the enemy of our soul with His peace.
Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water. When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. Mark 4:37-39
Led By God’s Peace
So yes, we can stop being a part of the fractionated, strife-filled cultural chaos, by just taking those moments we were created for, those heart to heart connections with our God, a resting of our soul in His way, truth, and life. Noisy-Noisy no longer affects us as we guard our hearts with God’s peace and truth. We become less and less a part of the fractionated opinions, as we walk in peace and truth, one person at a time… back to our roots, back to what we were created to be… God’s… wholly-holy His, led by His peace.
Let your heart be always guided by the peace of the Anointed One, who called you to peace as part of his one body. And always be thankful. Let the word of Christ live in you richly, flooding you with all wisdom. Apply the Scriptures as you teach and instruct one another with the Psalms, and with festive praises, and with prophetic songs given to you spontaneously by the Spirit, so sing to God with all your hearts! Let every activity of your lives and every word that comes from your lips be drenched with the beauty of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. And bring your constant praise to God the Father because of what Christ has done for you ! Colossians 3:15-17
Know God’s Soul Peace
It is time for us to say NO to a noisy-noisy, fractionated, self-driven, strife filled soul… and say YES to giving God some heart to heart time in our life. Some down time filled with God time, this is what we were created for, it is in our Spiritual DNA and we need to get back to it… stop the noisy-noisy soul strife and know God’s peace. How can we handle anything in this life without God? Our Help comes from God, He is our rest and rescue. Listen up and be lifted up on the shoulders of God, and know soul peace with whatever life has pressed in upon your life.
How can I describe God’s kingdom realm? Let me illustrate it with this parable. It is like the mustard seed, the tiniest of all the seeds, yet when it springs up and grows, it becomes the largest plant in the garden, with so many large spreading branches, even birds can nest in its shade.” Mark 4:30-32
