| 0:29.7 | podcast, we are investigating the great gift to the Holy Spirit Council, the gift that guides |
| 0:36.6 | the other gifts of the Holy Spirit, the gift that answers |
| 0:39.9 | our questions and dilemmas about how best to live out the will of God, and the gift of the |
| 0:44.4 | Holy Spirit that can oftentimes come to us through the good advice and guidance of other people. |
| 0:50.2 | Now, today, we are going to look at the enemy of the gift of the Holy Spirit, counsel, the enemy, |
| 0:58.4 | the thing that keeps us from it, and that is distraction. |
| 1:04.3 | Now, how can distraction be the enemy of the gift of counsel? |
| 1:15.0 | Well, I want to tell you a story first before we answer that question. And the story is about a character, a very well-known character from the Old Testament, |

| 2:15.9 | like a freight train. He hears a terrible earthquake that shakes the |
| 2:20.1 | earth and then a blazing fire. But he knows in all of these loud, big events, God isn't there. |
| 2:29.1 | That isn't God. Instead, he waits and scripture tells us that then there was a still, small voice, |
| 2:40.5 | and that was the voice of God. Now, what does this mean for us? Well, we live in a very loud and |
| 2:48.2 | noisy world. Not only is there physical volume, but there's so many |
