Here Is The Truth Why Some People Will Not Listen To You

5/2/2018

Prov. 23:9 - Do not speak in the hearing of a fool, for he will despise the wisdom of your words.  NASU 
​
  • They Know It All 
There are some people you cannot teach. Why is that true? They have already arrived at their conclusion regardless of the facts. You can show or tell them the truth until you are blue in the face and the fact of the matter is they will not listen.
 
Why? There mind is made up by what they believe. They believe they are correct in spite of the truth or reports contrary to what they believe.
 
This type of person is called a "fool" in the Bible.
 
I had a professor in college who would tell us men you are going to meet a lot of people in the world who you will not be able to convince with the truth, the Word of God.
 
Why?
 
They are traveling around with this motto: "Don't Confuse Me With The Facts, My Mind Is Made Up."
 
In other words, no matter what you say to them they are not going to change their mind. We sometimes call this type of person "stubborn" but God calls them "fools". 
  • I Was This Type Of Person 
There were a lot of years when the only teacher I would listen to was the "School of Hard Knocks" and even then it would take more than once sometimes.
 
I can not begin to tell you how much more money would be in my bank account if I had only listened to my parents.
 
I simply and incorrectly thought I was smarter than others and would not get caught like others. I was a "fool" for many years. 
  • What Changed Me? 
The Lord Jesus Christ and His Word changed me. NOW please don't think that I have got this all down pat and never make any mistakes. I still do, but I guarantee you I make a whole lot less than I did when I was younger and outside of Christ.
 
This one passage of scripture has helped me more times than I can count: Prov. 15:22 - "Without consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they succeed."
 
Did that nugget of gold grab you like it did me?

Here is my interpretation of that passage of scripture: "Without Consultation" or in other words without talking your plans over with others your plans are going to experience frustration, BUT with many counselors or many consultants your plans will succeed.
  • Don't Lose This Key 
Find people you can trust. This is the key. What is it you want to accomplish? When you know do some research and find people who know this field.
 
Let me give you an example: If you wanted to know something about learning how to wrestle (for yourself, your son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter) my advice, find a coach who knows about wrestling.

Every year successful coaches offer wrestling camps and I would enroll my child in one of these camps near you.
 
Just Google any one of these names and you will find out about their camps. Some top wrestling camps in the US (Cary Kolat, Tom or Terry Brands, Pat Santoro, Tom Ryan, Sean Bormet and these are just a few)
 
Remember don't lose the key: finding someone you trust.
 
Think On These:
 
The only thing more expensive than education is ignorance.
 
A wise man learns from the experience of others.
An ordinary man learns from his own experiences.
A fool learns from nobody's experiences.

Stay Pumped,
