I Don't Want To Hear It

Dr Dharius Daniels

Change Church • Aug 26, 2026 • 47 min

Start 3-Day Devotional

Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

In this message, Dr. Dharius Daniels uses the story of blind Bartimaeus in Mark 10 to demonstrate how the voices we allow into our lives directly shape our mindset, spiritual maturity, and destiny. Bartimaeus refused to let the rebukes of the crowd quiet his call to Jesus, proving that receiving a miracle often requires tuning out well-meaning or religious critics. By protecting your ears and pressing into God despite opposition, you position yourself to experience God's providential placement and transformative power.

Key Points

1.
Don't listen to people who define you by your deficiency.
2.
Don't listen to people who discourage your desire.
3.
Don't listen to people who diss your devotion.
4.
Whoever has your ear has your future, as your ears serve as entryways into your heart that shape your mindset, mood, and trajectory.
5.
Providential placement occurs when God prematurely places you in a position in your present that will only make sense in your future when your breakthrough arrives.
6.
God often ignores inferior requests because He intends to perform a far greater transformation than what you are currently asking for.
7.
Never let what is not working in your life keep you from leveraging what is working, using what you do have to receive what you lack.

“You can't let what doesn't work stop you from using what does work.”

“Sometimes God ignores inferior requests because He is getting ready to give you a complete change rather than just small change.”

“He called Jesus. They said be quiet. He got louder. Jesus stopped.”

“Don't listen to people who define you by your deficiency.”

“Don't listen to people who discourage your desire.”

“Don't listen to people who diss your devotion.”

This Week

Conduct an audit of the voices, social media accounts, and influences you allow to speak into your life regularly.

Mute or unfollow digital channels and media that breed confusion, doubt, or spiritual stagnation.

Identify what tools or gifts you currently have available and leverage them in prayer rather than focusing on what is missing.

When facing opposition or criticism in your spiritual journey, respond with greater persistence in prayer and worship.

Evaluate advice and opinions against biblical truth rather than assuming someone is right just because they appear religious.

Refuse to allow past mistakes or current deficiencies to define your identity or limit what you believe God can do.

Set intentional boundaries with individuals who consistently discourage your God-given desires and spiritual growth.

Remember This

Whoever has your ear has your future, so protect your heart by tuning out discouraging voices and pressing persistently toward God.

A Challenge for You

Sit with God and ask Him: "Lord, what would You have me to do? What is it that I need to change? Where do I need to cease access? What accounts do I need to mute?"
