  • #480 - Whisper; Day 5 - Who God Says We Are
    What God Wants Us to Hear the Most

    You aren’t the mistakes you’ve made. You aren’t the labels that have been put on you. And you aren’t the lies the Enemy has tried to sell you. You are who God says you are.

    You are a child of God.

    You are the apple of God’s eye.

    You are sought after.

    You are more than a conqueror.

    You are a new creation in Christ.

    You are the righteousness of Christ.

    All our identity issues are fundamental misunderstandings of who God is. Guilt issues are a misunderstanding of God’s grace. Control issues are a misunderstanding of God’s sovereignty. Anger issues are a misunderstanding of God’s mercy. Pride issues are a misunderstanding of God’s greatness. Trust issues are a misunderstanding of God’s goodness. If you struggle with any of those issues, it’s time to let God be the loudest voice in your life!

    God doesn’t love us because of who we are. God loves us because of who He is.

    When we succeed, God says, “I love you.”

    When we fail, God says, “I love you.”

    When we have faith, God says, “I love you.”

    When we doubt, God says, “I love you.”

    Love is His answer to everything. Why? Because He is love. There is nothing you can do to make Him love you any more or any less. God loves you perfectly. He loves you eternally.

    God wants us to hear what He’s saying, and we must heed His voice. But much more than that, He wants us to hear His heart. So He whispers softer and softer so that we have to get closer and closer. And when we finally get close enough, He envelops us in His arms and tells us that He loves us.

    We’ve been deafened by the voice of conformity, the voice of criticism, and the voice of condemnation, and the side effects include loneliness, shame, and anxiety.

    The good news? You not only bear God’s image but you know His voice. It’s His voice that knit you together in your mother’s womb. It’s His voice that ordained all your days before one of them came to be. It’s His voice that began a good work and His voice that will carry it to completion.

    Where is God leading you? How is God talking to you? If you can’t hear His voice, consider spending more time in His Word on a regular basis

  • #479 - Whisper; Day 4 - The Whispering Spot
    When I first toured the Capitol more than two decades ago, our guide revealed a secret that wasn’t really a secret: the whispering spot. He stood on one side of Statuary Hall while our tour group stood on the other side. Then he spoke in a whisper, and sure enough, we could hear the echo of his voice all the way across the room as if he were mere inches away.

    When I look through the Bible, I see whispering spots everywhere.

    For Jacob, it was Bethel.

    For Moses, it was a burning bush.

    For Samuel, it was the tabernacle at Shiloh.

    For David, it was the cave of Adullam.

    For Elijah, it was Mount Carmel.

    For Daniel, it was an upstairs window facing Jerusalem.

    For Jonah, it was the belly of a whale.

    When I survey Scripture, I see God showing up in strange places, at strange times, in strange ways. And I don’t think anything has changed. God still turns appointments into divine appointments. He still uploads desires, opens doors, and inspires dreams. He still speaks through promptings and people and pain. And just as he did for Moses, He can turn any patch of ground into holy ground.

    Listening doesn’t happen by default; it happens by design. You have to seek solitude, seek silence. You have to ruthlessly eliminate distractions. And you have to turn some voices down or tune them out altogether. It might be as innocent as talk radio or as innocuous as social media. Why not turn off the radio and talk to God during your commute? Or fast from social media for a season? Or take a silent retreat?

    I don’t want to overspiritualize the importance of a whispering spot, but I don’t want to underspiritualize it either. Even if you take spirituality out of the equation, you need a space or place to get some peace and quiet. If you live in a city, as I do, it’s not easy. And if you’re a parent of little children, it might be ten minutes during naptime.

    Your whispering spot will be as unique as you are, but you need to find a time and place to hear the still, small voice of God.

    Do you have a “whispering spot” in your life right now? If not, where might that spot be? If you do, how has God whispered to you there?

  • #478 - Whisper; Day 3 - A Hiding Place
    A Hiding Place

    Have you ever tried to quiet a loud room? Attempting to yell above the crowd usually doesn’t work, does it? It’s far more effective to shush the crowd with a shhh. That’s the method God employs. His whisper quiets us, calms us, stills us.

    That’s why chronic noise may be the greatest impediment to our spiritual growth. When our lives get loud, with noise filling every frequency, we lose our sense of being. We run the risk of turning into human doings rather than human beings. And when our schedules get busy, we lose our sense of balance, which is a function of the inner ear.

    Can I go out on a limb?

    Your life is too loud.

    Your schedule is too busy.

    That’s how and why and when we forget that God is God. And it takes very little to distract us. The solution? Stillness. Or more specifically, His still small voice.

    Silence is anything but passive waiting. It’s proactive listening. And each day God’s voice gets a little louder in our lives until He’s all we can hear.

    If you want to hear the heart of God, silence is key.

    If you want the Spirit of God to fill you, be still.

    The psalmists referred to God as their refuge, their fortress, and their ever-present help in time of need. But my favorite descriptor might be the “hiding place.” Did you know that God is singing songs of deliverance all around you all the time? You can’t hear them because they’re outside your range of hearing, but you’re surrounded by a sonic shield. Those songs of deliverance are powerful enough to break any bondage, overcome any addiction, and solve any problem.

    I’m not sure what problem you need to solve or what issue you need to resolve, but my prayer is that you’ll learn to discern God’s voice. When you do, His songs of deliverance can set you free! Quit hiding from God. Hide yourself in Him.

    What is one “noise” you could cut out from your day or your schedule this week so you might be able to hear God’s whispers to you more clearly?

  • #477 - Whisper; Day 2 - Come Closer
    Come Closer

    God has an outside voice, and He’s not afraid to use it. But when God wants to be heard, when what He has to say is too important to miss, He often speaks in a whisper just above the absolute threshold of hearing.

    My dictionary defines whisper as “speaking very softly using one’s breath without one’s vocal cords.” The use of breath instead of vocal cords is significant. Isn’t that how God created Adam? He whispered into the dust and named it Adam.

    Adam was once a whisper. So were you. So was everything else. Whispering is typically employed for the sake of secrecy. No form of communication is more intimate.

    So why does God so often speak in whispers? When someone speaks in a whisper, you have to get very close to hear. In fact, you have to put your ear near the person’s mouth. We lean toward a whisper, and that’s what God wants. The goal of hearing the heavenly Father’s voice isn’t just hearing His voice; it’s intimacy with Him. He speaks in a whisper because He wants to be as close to us as is divinely possible! He loves us, likes us, that much.

    When our children were young, I’d sometimes speak in a whisper so they would inch closer to me. That’s when I’d grab them and hug them. God plays the same trick on us. We want to hear what He has to say, but He wants us to know how much He loves us.

    Aren’t you grateful for a gentle God? The Almighty could intimidate us with His outside voice, but He woos us with a whisper. And His whisper is the very breath of life.

    There’s an old adage that those who dance are thought mad by those who hear not the music. That is certainly true of those who walk to the beat of God’s drum. When you take your cues from the Holy Spirit, you’ll do some things that will make people think you’re crazy. So be it. Obey the whisper and see what God does. Because nothing has the potential to change your life like the whisper of God. Nothing will determine your destiny more than your ability to hear His still small voice. That’s how God-sized dreams are birthed. That’s how miracles happen.

    When was the last time you invited the Holy Spirit to speak to you? Are you actively inviting God to speak to you?

  • #476 - Whisper; Day 1 - The Loudest Voice
    The Loudest Voice in Your Life

    Is it possible that what we perceive to be relational, emotional, and spiritual problems are actually hearing problems—ears that have been deafened to the voice of God? And it’s that inability to hear His voice that causes us to lose our voice and lose our way.

    Let me make a bold statement: Learning how to hear the voice of God is the solution to a thousand problems! It’s also the key to discovering our destiny and fulfilling our potential.

    His voice is love.

    His voice is power.

    His voice is healing.

    His voice is wisdom.

    His voice is joy.

    If your life is off-key, maybe it’s because you’ve been deafened by the negative self-talk that doesn’t let God get a Word in edgewise! Maybe you’ve listened to the voice of criticism so long you can’t believe anything else about yourself. Or maybe it’s the Enemy’s voice of condemnation that speaks lies about who you really are. If you don’t silence those competing voices, they’ll eventually deafen you. You won’t be able to sing God’s song because you won’t be able to hear His voice.

    Is God’s voice the loudest voice in your life?

    That’s the question.

    If the answer is no, that’s the problem.

    We live in a culture where everyone wants to have his or her voice heard but has so little to say. And that’s because we do so little listening, especially to God. The best way to get people to listen to us is for us to listen to God. Why? Because we’ll have something to say that is worth hearing.

    Ultimately, all of us need to find our voice. And by voice I mean the unique message God wants to speak through our lives. But finding our voice starts with hearing His voice.

    Let me issue a warning, though. If you aren’t willing to listen to everything God has to say, you eventually won’t hear anything He has to say. If you want to hear His comforting voice, you have to listen to His convicting voice. And it’s often what we want to hear least that we need to hear most. Trust me, though, you want to hear what He has to say.

    Are you ready?

    When was the last time you heard God’s voice? What did He say or ask? How did you respond?

    GOP Senators Introduce Bill to Help Victims of COVID-19 Vaccine Injury
    Uncover DC - Michelle Edwards - March 18, 2022
    A group of Republican Senators recently joined together to introduce a bill to provide assistance to Americans who have suffered adverse reactions to the COVID-19 “vaccines.” Called the Countermeasure Injury Compensation Amendment Act, the bill would amend the current Countermeasure Injury Compensation Act (CICP), which has failed to provide redress measures for patients who have suffered negative responses to the shots exploited to promote public health during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

    U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), and U.S. Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) are sponsoring the bill which would create a commission to identify injuries directly caused by the COVID-19 experimental “vaccines.”


    Currently, federal law has two different compensation programs for individuals who suffer severe adverse reactions to vaccines. The first, introduced in 1986, is called the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP). Making it impossible to sue vaccine manufacturers, VICP was established as a “no-fault alternative to the traditional tort system,” offering limited compensation to adults and children injured by certain vaccines.

    The second is the CICP, which provides compensation for injuries experienced due to products delivered during explicit public health emergencies. As pointed out by Sen. Lee, CICP compensates individuals for injuries and deaths that result from “covered countermeasures”—like COVID-19 “vaccines”—under the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act). The legislation is intended to improve how COVID-19 countermeasure claims are adjudicated by the CICP.

    The bill introduced by the Senators would make critical adjustments to the CICP to ensure those injured by emergency countermeasures deployed during the “historic COVID-19 pandemic” are served. Bill S.3810, which has been referred to the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, would:

    Reform the CICP to provide claimants the same framework for adjudication, award determination, and statute of limitations as exists under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.
    Create a commission to identify the injuries directly caused as a result of receipt of a COVID-19 covered countermeasure.
    Require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to amend the covered countermeasure injury table for COVID-19 to include injuries determined by the commission.
    Allow previously submitted claims that have not been compensated to be resubmitted and approved claims to be compensated the same as new claims.
    Since the start of the pandemic, Sen. Johnson has been a leading advocate for healthcare freedom, early treatment, and justice for those injured or killed following receipt of COVID-19 “vaccines.” In January, he held a five-and-a-half-hour discussion in Washington D.C. with doctors and medical experts called “COVID-19: A Second Opinion.” A video of the hearing posted by Sen. Johnson has been seen by nearly 2.3 million people. The eye-opening conference assisted in shining a light on what many experts and individual citizens view as a failed U.S. government response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • #473 - The Ugly Truth of György Schwartz (aka George Soros)
    I am betting you do not know HALF the story of who this man was and is...

    György Schwartz was born on August 12, 1930 in Budapest, Hungary. He was raised in a non-observant Jewish family. The family survived the Nazi occupation of Hungary by changing their names and moving to the United Kingdom in 1947. Now known as George Soros, he is “The Man Who Broke the Bank of England” because of his short-sale of $10B pounds of sterling silver in 1992.

    Soros is also a supporter of progressive and liberal political causes, to which he dispenses donations through his foundation, the Open Society Foundations.

    An atheist and lover of evil destruction.

  • #472 - Faith Matters - The Most Offensive Truth
    TRUE COLORS: The Most Offensive Truth

    Pastor Bob McCartney gave a sermon series on current social issues this fall highlighting the truth found in the Bible. Here are my notes from this eighth and final sermon in his series, True Colors.

    Your citizenship in the kingdom of God makes all the difference in your salvation. There is only ONE way to go to Heaven and it is by totally trusting in Jesus.

    1 “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And you know the way where I am going.”

    5 Thomas *said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, how do we know the way?” 6 Jesus *said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

    John 14:1-6 NASB1995

    That is a pretty exclusive statement. When Jesus made that statement you could say one of three things about Him, He’s delusional, He’s a liar or He’s telling the truth.

    If He’s delusional or a liar, then He’s not worthy to be followed. But if that statement is true, you’d best stake your life and eternity on who Jesus Christ is.

    1. Jesus alone can restore our broken relationship with God.

    Jesus is the Way to God

    Our sin has made a separation between us and God. And Jesus says I am THE WAY, I alone can restore the broken relationship with God. No other religious leader, no other prophet can do that and you certainly can’t do it on your own.

    For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

    1 Timothy 2:5 NASB1995

    And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.”

    Acts 4:12 NASB1995

    He gave us only ONE way to heaven, but we deserve NO way. Your citizenship in the kingdom of God is your salvation. There is one way to spell salvation and it is J E S U S!

    2. Jesus alone can reveal the truth about God.

    Jesus is the Truth

    And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

    John 1:14 NASB1995

    Jesus *said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

    John 14:9 NASB1995

    What about those who have never heard the Gospel? Our natural light is not enough to save you, but it is enough to condemn you.

    A. The revelation factor: All people have some light
    1. through the witness of Creation
    2. through the witness of conscience
    Romans 2:14-15
    B. The refusal factor: Light refused increases darkness
    You can’t stay morally neutral toward God. You either refuse or accept.
    Romans 1:21
    C. The reception factor: Light obeyed increases light
    Anyone who wants to hear the Gospel, will hear it because God will make it happen. He will move Heaven and Earth to get to you. He does it through His church. It’s our responsibility to pray, give and go!
    Romans 1:16

    Every other religion is a false religion. Biblical Christianity is the only true faith and it is the only way to know God and to go to His heaven. Full stop. Period.


    3. Jesus alone can give you the life you are longing for.

    Jesus is the Life in God

    Most people who seek God feel that something is missing. There’s guilt, shame a sense of loneliness and isolation.

    The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came...
