“Don’t listen to your critics,” says The LORD.
“They feign love and respect that is only a cloak for their envy. I did not call them to critique your work, condemn your efforts, or minimize you as well as your Calling.
“What they call advice is not the Wisdom that comes from Me, but a distraction, a discouragement, and a reprisal that causes you to question what I have directed you to do and the person I have created you to be.
“The enemy comes as an angel of light, and your advisors have a pretense of concern, light and concern.
“Don’t be taken in by their sympathetic looks or their feigned love.
“I did not send them to you for warning, but the enemy has planted them for destruction,” says The LORD.
“Listen to My voice and follow Me,” says The LORD.
“Do not doubt Me. I will never mislead you. You did not get it wrong when you heard My voice, felt the nudge of My Spirit that urges you forward, and followed My Lead.
“Just remember that I told you that My Sheep will hear My Voice, and follow Me. Just keep doing that, and press forward.
“Don’t study the dissenting voices, the looks of disdain, the foreboding commentary.
“You know the way. You do not need the approval of others.
“Just please Me. Walk with Me, and fulfill that which I have called and chosen you to do, and be at peace, knowing that you did not fabricate it, but genuinely heard My Voice,” says The LORD.
