The Sound of False Alarms

In a dream, I saw a series of speakers that had been prepared and placed in our nation that would announce a false alarm. The plan was to create a diversion of our attention. The placement of the speakers was not happening only in the United States. I saw other speakers being placed around the world that would be used to intensify the sound of the alarm.

No matter how intense these life-shattering false alarms become, God is up to something greater. Understanding God’s truth about our personal relationship with Him and the Church in the future will appear like someone remaining calm as they wear sound protectors while walking into a very loud and disorienting situation. Our choice to wear our ear protectors will calm the outside noises and help us hear the whispers of encouragement from the Lord that will align our response to what is happening.

As you walk through the increasing intensity and panic that will appear when the false alarms sound, you will appear out of touch with your surroundings as you protect your ears. That is the nature of a life of faith. It will see what is not yet seen and hear what is not yet heard when the sounds of fear attempt to drown out the sounds of belief.
