Refusing to listen to God is presented as foolishness that brings harm to oneself leading to ruin. Like the people in Isaiah's prophecy and Jesus parable, one can hear words but fail to truly understand them due to a dull heart and closed mind. There is a different between hearing and heeding God's word those who hear but don't act are likened to a foolish person who built their house on sand not listening to God's word can result in walking without protection and loosing the peace and blessing God have for you. It is often a conscious choice to not listen to the word, sometimes because of pride or stubbornness.
The devil can also close your heart, eyes and ears to Devine truth, putting your mind in your personal thought and emotions, while hearing God's word. Listen to God with focused attention, not just passively hearing. Follow in obedience to what God has revealed and vowed. Have faith in God because only him knows what is best for you and will guide you. Press into God and seek him in new ways, like fasting and praying to grow your faith. Seek advice from your spiritual advisor to help you discern God's will and avoid relying on others instead put all your heart in him.
