I have tried to deliver but all I get is return to sender.
It seems that no one can believe that God communicates directly with anyone. If one has a message, that no one will believe, what do you do with the thing.
Regards

Two things come to mind when I read your question:
First, God has said everything that needs to be said. The problem is that people do not read it with understanding.
Second, the prophets were not believed, either. The Bible tells the story of a beggar and a rich guy, who wasn't very empathetic about the beggar. Both died. The rich guy could see from the other side of a large gulph that he could not cross. He saw the beggar being comforted by Abraham Himself. When he saw this, he asked that someone go and deliver a message to his family about what is happening to him, so that they, too, don't end up in the way he has. But he was told, No, that nobody would go - that if they weren't going to believe the prophets sent to them, then they wouldn't believe anything anyway.
If you are serious and feel you have something to say that God would want you to say, then simply say it and those who wish to believe it will, and those who won't - well, theres nothing you can do about those folks. That said, I feel an urge to say to you that I have heard lots of people (esspecially preachers and pastors) who very matter-of-factly say that God spoke to them. Well, if God had spoken to them, even through an Angel, it wouldn't be that trivial a deal for them. The supernatural is an awesome thing to witness. Every single account of it in the Scriptures tells you that one who was visited was down flat on their face almost as dead with the experience.
These are my thoughts; sorry so wordy.

The only message we receive from God is in His wrtten word the Bible, 1 Corinthians 13: 9 " For we haave partial knowledge and we prophesy partially; 10 But when that which iscomplete, [Bible was partly written at that time] arrives, that which is partial will be done away with, [receiving messages from God]
If you are receiving messages pray to the true God, to show you where those messages are really coming from, be prepared to have him show where His spirit is on this earth, and accept the messengers that he sends you, they will be regular people. They will be able to teach you. What you need to know.

You do what the Lord has instructed you to do with it. (Think Jeremiah and Jonah here....) It isn't your responsibility how others respond to it....it is your responsibility to do what the Lord has said.
I will say this - I do believe that the Lord communes with us directly, because this is the reason Jesus Christ went to the cross - to reconcile us to God and restore our fellowship with Him as our Father. But prophecy is also one of the most potentially abused ministries in charismatic/pentacostal circles today.
Whatever your message is, it should be in perfect alignment and harmony with the Word of God. He isn't going to tell you something that is inconsistent with the Word He has already revealed. Make sure your message is confirmed by the Word, if not approved by the recipients.

That's the whole point - that no one will believe it. They're not supposed to! If you get a message, THAT MESSAGE IS MEANT FOR YOU.
There's too much focus on what's right or wrong with everybody else in Western spirituality. You are only responsabable for your OWN attitude.

Stick it in your pocket-or anywhere else you care to.
G-d does not send messages, as you talk about.
He has made life, given us hearts and brains to work with, now it is up to us to do our share.
He has given (I believe) us Angels to protect us, and keep us on the ''straight and narrow''.
What more can you ask of him? That's alot right there.

Act on the message whatever it is, and keep acting on it until God tells you to stop.
