The poll unsurprisingly projected that Biden and Trump were headed to another showdown in November, and that Trump was leading Biden in that rematch by 9% in Texas. However, what I suspect the Biden campaign team found shocking was that Biden was losing to Trump with Latino voters by a 47-41 margin. Only 55% of Latino Democratic primary voters said they were committed to vote for Biden. The other 45% were undecided.

We often think we already know what He wants us to do or say, so there's no need to listen closely for His voice anymore. PRAYER: Lord, open my ears. Again and again. I'll pray it constantly, relentlessly, until I'm hearing You well. You are the master of my hearing, and I trust You to speak in ways I can perceive and understand. ▌ABOUT US ▌

PRAYER: Lord, I long to know who You are —deeply, intimately, and beyond religious explanations. And I know You are zealous to unveil Your nature personally to those who long for You. Give me pictures of Your perspective so I can know Your heart. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: ACCESS TO GOD'S VOICE VERSE: Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, “Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.” JOHN 7:38 ✔️ - Jesus stood up on the last day of the feast, right at the time when a symbolic act of pouring out water normally took place ✔️ - If we believe, we can embody the Spirit of God. ✔️ - This is the primary means of hearing God's voice, even when we're reading Scripture, which we can't understand apart from the Spirit. ✔️ - We simply need to discern the difference. TAKEAWAY: He gives us remarkable but simple gifts —if we believe Him. And when we believe, the divine voice resonates inside of us, flowing through us with the thoughts and desires of God Himself. PRAYER: Holy Spirit, flow through me like a rushing river, filling me with dreams and ideas from Your heart. I want more than trickles; I want torrents. Help me discern the difference between my thoughts and Yours, but let me not get stuck trying to analyze them. Give me faith to believe. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: SOLUTIONS NOT YET DISCOVERED VERSE: This hope will not lead to disappointment. ROMANS 5:5 ✔️ - It's okay. You can allow yourself to hope. ✔️ - He is the giver of every good gift. ✔️ - Many people who listen for God's voice are predisposed to hearing His restrictions, limitations, and corrections. ✔️ - When God is in the mix, no situation is hopeless. TAKEAWAY: When God speaks, He is far more interested in filling your heart with expectancy than subduing you with limitations. Embrace the hope that does not disappoint. PRAYER: Lord, my heart seems so biased toward low expectations. My instinct is to protect myself from disappointment. But Your Kingdom is different; You incline our hearts toward hope. Give me the courage to embrace hope without fear of disappointment. Let me see Your goodness in the land of the living. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: THE BRUTAL AND PAINFUL PART VERSE: O LORD , you misled me, and I allowed myself to be misled. You are stronger than I am, and you overpowered me. JEREMIAH 20:7 ✔️ - Jeremiah was frustrated and humiliated. ✔️ - God's voice had led him into a seemingly disastrous life's work. ✔️ - Like most prophets, Jeremiah wasn't called simply to express God's words. ✔️ - The voice of God became a brutal, painful part of Jeremiah's life. TAKEAWAY: Pay attention; He may be speaking not only to your heart but also through it. PRAYER: Lord, it's amazing how many times my situations have some divine parallel that give me a glimpse of Your heart. Help me notice the connections. Let me recognize —and even embody —your thoughts and feelings. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: THE SMOLDERING WORD VERSE: If I say I'll never mention the LORD or speak in his name, his word burns in my heart like a fire. It's like a fire in my bones! I am worn out trying to hold it in! I can't do it! JEREMIAH 20:9 ✔️ - God's voice can burn. ✔️ - When God wants to deliver a message through us, it eventually has to come out. ✔️ - More people are interested in hearing God's voice for themselves than in hearing it on behalf of others. ✔️ - When God's message is unpopular, we don't want to be unpopular by voicing it. TAKEAWAY: Will we let the fire consume us within? Or let it do its purifying work in the world? Genuine love will compel our hearts to speak hard words when needed. PRAYER: Lord, I want to be obedient to speak Your word, but I also don't want to miss the timing or speak presumptuously. Fill me with Your fire —and the boldness to spread it wisely. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: MY AGENDA VS GOD'S VERSE: Samuel replied, “Speak, your servant is listening.” 1 SAMUEL 3:10 ✔️ - Samuel did as Eli the priest had instructed. ✔️ - His ears and his heart were already committed to the coming word, even before it was uttered. ✔️ - We have to hear not just with open ears, but with surrendered hearts. ✔️ - I'll accept it with joy, whatever it is. TAKEAWAY: The commitment must come before the information does; that's how God designs it. He speaks loudest to those who already know they are going to act on what He says. PRAYER: Lord, I've made that commitment. I don't just listen to You in order to consider my options. I'm not just paying attention out of curiosity. I need Your direction. It is life to me. I have already decided I am going to do whatever You say, no matter how much it defies my expectations. Your will is my food, Your wish my command. Speak, Lord, Your servant is listening. ▌ABOUT US ▌

Do as I have done to you.” JOHN 13:15 ✔️ - You want a specific direction for your life, and I am glad to give it. ✔️ - Your heart is the bigger issue. ✔️ - Do you realize how much I've already spoken to you? ✔️ - I have demonstrated My will for your life.

PRAYER: Jesus, help me to not only listen for the messages You speak, but also to hear the messages You've already given. I can't be like You unless You pour Your life into me. Empower me to do what I see You doing. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: TUNE IN OR TUNE OUT VERSE: The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. John 10:3-4 ✔️ - One of the greatest benefits of our salvation has to be that of hearing God speak to us personally. ✔️ - This is not the way the Lord intended it to be. ✔️ - Learning to clearly distinguish God's voice is invaluable. ✔️ - It's just a matter of hearing His voice. TAKEAWAY: The first thing we need to do is fix our receivers — believe that God is already speaking and start listening. PRAYER: Lord, thank You for giving me the ability to "Tune-In" to Your heartbeat...and the wisdom to lock on to it. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: BEING ONE WITH GOD VERSE: [Jesus prayed,] “I am coming to you. I told [my followers] many things while I was with them in this world so they would be filled with my joy.” JOHN 17:13 ✔️ - Jesus had some pretty big requests in His conversation with God the Father the night before the Crucifixion. ✔️ - He taught them so they would have joy. ✔️ - It has often been said in our churches and teachings that God's goal is to make us holy, not happy, but the two go hand in hand. ✔️ - He wants us to be happy.

PRAYER: Jesus, let me feast on Your words and experience the fullness of Your joy. I need satisfaction; I was designed to experience delight. May Your words produce pure, unbridled joy in my heart. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: WHO IS BEHIND THE VEIL? VERSE: We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away. But the people's minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. 2 CORINTHIANS 3:13-14 ✔️ - Before Jesus came, fallen human beings had to be shielded from God's glory. ✔️ - we don't really know anyone who has had any success with that. ✔️ - But actually we do. Scripture is full of testimonies of people who had extraordinary encounters with God. ✔️ - If we understand that the veil has been taken away, we will. TAKEAWAY: The only limits to our hearing are the lack of expectancy in our own prayers and lack of zeal or commitment. Faith and persistence lead to glory. PRAYER: Lord, may I never impose limits to our relationship that You have already removed. Light a fire in me to press into Your presence beyond the former veil. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: GOD'S REMARKABLE SECRETS VERSE: The disciple Jesus loved was sitting next to Jesus at the table.

TAKEAWAY: He will not ignore your question. He will find a way to communicate with you in a way you understand, and you will find a way to hear. He speaks to those who know Him well enough to listen to His whispers. PRAYER: Jesus, help me silence my soul so the only voice stirring in my depths is Yours. Let me ask You questions, even small ones, as I'm learning to hear. Help me recognize Your answers, however they come. Just as John knew You, let me draw close to You as a friend. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: WHAT DO YOU WANT GOD? VERSE: The laws of the LORD . . . are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. PSALM 19:9, 11 ✔️ - We're uncomfortable with the idea of rewards, but God isn't. ✔️ - That's just the way it is. ✔️ - That's why God's commands are still intensely relevant for believers today. ✔️ - And if God is giving out rewards for those who love Him enough to follow Him well, it only makes sense for Him to let us know how to receive them. TAKEAWAY: Disobedience may have consequences, but so does living in a way that's consistent with God's nature and character. His words, if followed, become catalysts for abundant blessings in our lives. PRAYER: Lord, I want Your best for my life. I want to experience Your fullness and joy. My mind realizes that any impulse to step out of Your will might cause me to miss a blessing; let my heart agree. I renounce any attempt to earn Your rewards but embrace every effort to receive them. ▌ABOUT US ▌

THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: SWEETER THAN HONEY VERSE: The laws of the LORD . . . are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. PSALM 19:9-10 ✔️ - The Old Testament is filled with eloquent passages about the beauty and benefits of God's commands. ✔️ - The laws of God, even though spoken directly by Him, do not give life when we attempt to follow them. ✔️ - What are we to do with this? ✔️ - In each approach, God's words remain the same; our response to them, however, is drastically different. TAKEAWAY: But then, instead of adopting His instructions as principles and precepts, follow who He is. See the Spirit behind the words, then passionately follow the Spirit. Learn to love the speaker more than the voice. PRAYER: Spirit of God, You speak life. But I fail to live up to Your truth, and my own efforts are remarkably adept at turning Your words into death. Teach me to love Your words rather than develop formulas from them. Let them come alive in my heart. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: FROM THE HEART OF GOD VERSE: Do you still want to argue with the Almighty? JOB 40:2 ✔️ - “I have never been one to suppress a good conversation. ✔️ - I invite you —even urge you —to be completely, audaciously honest with Me. ✔️ - “I want you to speak with Me as a friend, but I also want you to know the gap I had to bridge for us to have that kind of relationship. ✔️ - But realize how much higher My wisdom is, and listen to it. TAKEAWAY: Know Me as your closest friend. Don't shrink back. But never take this friendship for granted. You are always and forever on holy ground. Assume the infinite wisdom of the one to whom you speak.” PRAYER: Lord, I realize I have no right to argue with You. Yet You have invited so many of Your friends into brutally honest conversations with You. What's the right balance? Do I fall on my face or come boldly to Your throne? Teach me to contend with You with honor. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: WHY TRUST GOD? VERSE: I [Paul] pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. EPHESIANS 3:16 ✔️ - The visiting speaker had a reputation for insightful prophetic words —expressing God's heart for people in situations that no stranger could have known on his own. ✔️ - “Trust God.” ✔️ - That wasn't the specific word she was looking for, and she was deeply disappointed. ✔️ - She had already heard God clearly, and asking for another confirmation came from a lack of trust. God was letting her know she could rely on what she had already heard. TAKEAWAY: We forget that Jesus is in us and we can trust His Spirit. What He has spoken within our hearts is just as valid as what He speaks to us through others. When He is silent outwardly, we can rest in what He says inwardly. PRAYER: Holy Spirit, may I never be guilty of downplaying the treasure You've put in me. You are completely trustworthy, and You reside within me. Inspire me with Your desires and direction, and give me the faith to believe. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: GOD HAS NOT CHANGED VERSE: The Word became human and made his home among us. JOHN 1:14 ✔️ - Paul wrote a lot about the power of the Cross, explaining that his message had little to do with human wisdom, but rather was based in the Spirit's power from above. ✔️ - He is an expression of the God who is above all. ✔️ - What does that mean when God speaks to us? ✔️ - He is the God who thunders from heaven, even when His thunder is just a whisper. TAKEAWAY: When we invite Him to speak to us, we are inviting earthshaking words. And our ears should listen for nothing less. PRAYER: Jesus, You are the power of God in the flesh. Speak that power into my life. I don't want weak words; I want change. Rattle my world with the thunder of Your voice. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: WHAT VOICE IS GUIDING YOU VERSE: The Word became human and made his home among us. JOHN 1:14 ✔️ - Scout bees looking for a new location for a nest are able to return to the hive and give a detailed map to the rest of the swarm by dancing out the directions. ✔️ - year after year without losing their way. ✔️ - What inaudible voice is guiding these creatures to do marvelous, inexplicable feats? ✔️ - We are, in essence, an articulation of His voice. TAKEAWAY: The incarnation of Jesus was the perfect expression of this wisdom, but God continues to express it in you —even when you aren't aware of it. PRAYER: Jesus, You are the wisdom of God. I don't need information from You nearly as much as I simply need You. Fill me with Yourself, and I will have all the wisdom I need. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: HERE IS THE DIFFERENCE VERSE: The Word became human and made his home among us. JOHN 1:14 ✔️ - Throughout Hebrew Scripture, God tells us what He is like. ✔️ - If we look at the Word of God as a person rather than as verbal communication, we get a dramatic picture of God's heartbeat. ✔️ - So when the Word embodied in flesh made His home among us, what did He display? ✔️ - The Word embodies love. TAKEAWAY: But the Word is still passionately in love with His people, and any words that don't express that love aren't His. He is still pouring out His radical, sacrificial, compassionate love into our lives. PRAYER: Jesus, I so often assume that You are displeased or demanding, and my ears seem to fill in the blanks with attitudes that aren't Yours. Open my heart —and my ears —to Your relentless love. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: IN THE BEGINNING VERSE: The Word became human and made his home among us. JOHN 1:14 ✔️ - The Gospel of John begins with a startling statement: In the beginning, there was the Word. ✔️ - What would someone known as “the Word” actually say? ✔️ - We know from John and the rest of Scripture that the Word is Jesus. ✔️ - And He is called the Word. TAKEAWAY: His voice doesn't come to us from outside, but from His Spirit, whom He has put within us. As we embrace the Word, we embody His words. PRAYER: Lord, You became flesh and lived among us. Enter into my flesh and live through me among Your people. Don't just speak to me; speak through me. Be the Word in me. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: GETTING DIRECTION FROM GOD VERSE: Once again David asked God what to do. “Do not attack them straight on,” God replied. “Instead, circle around behind and attack them near the poplar trees.” 1 CHRONICLES 14:14 ✔️ - David had just won a victory over the Philistines by getting permission and direction from God. ✔️ - Yesterday's instructions did not suffice for today. ✔️ - We need to live by that truth. ✔️ - We have to stay in a close relationship with Him, keeping our ears open, in order to know what to do. TAKEAWAY: Ask Him for a fresh word, listening for His guidance every step of the way. He will speak specifically to your need. PRAYER: Lord, what should I do? I don't have enough wisdom for the demands of this day, but You do, so my eyes are on You. I desperately need Your guidance. Please make it clear. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: FROM THE HEART OF GOD VERSE: Who gives intuition to the heart and instinct to the mind? JOB 38:36 ✔️ - “You are a sacred work. ✔️ - My thoughts toward you are more personal and more thorough than you have ever imagined. ✔️ - “Very often when you ask to hear Me, I have already put My truth inside you. ✔️ - Much of what you are searching for outside of yourself, I have already put within you. TAKEAWAY: He makes His home in your body, soul, and spirit because I perfectly crafted you and thoroughly redeemed you to host His presence. Trust My work in you as much as you trust My work outside of you.” PRAYER: Spirit of God, I do trust You, but I don't trust myself. Yet I have been made by the Father and remade by the Son. You have prepared me to know You fully. Anything less is false humility. Give me holy boldness to trust Your work in me. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: WHAT IS GOD WAITING FOR? VERSE: Is anything too hard for the LORD? GENESIS 18:14 ✔️ - “Lord, I don't know how to deal with this. ✔️ - We didn't just suddenly become brilliant. He inspired us. ✔️ - Think about the implications. ✔️ - Perhaps He is simply waiting for His people to ask Him for guidance and direction. TAKEAWAY: There is no reason not to ask. God's people should be the most creative, ingenious people on the planet —simply because we know the God of all solutions. When we stop struggling and start asking, God will very often give us answers. PRAYER: Lord, I need Your creativity, Your answers, Your ingenuity. Inspire me with Your brilliance, and like Joseph and Daniel, I will gladly tell people of the God who reveals mysteries. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: WHICH VOICE ARE YOU FOLLOWING? VERSE: [The flock] follow [their shepherd] because they know his voice. JOHN 10:4 ✔️ - We recognize the voices of politicians, but we don't always follow them. ✔️ - We have to be careful. ✔️ - We don't have to be careful with the voice of our Shepherd. ✔️ - We will be glad He led us where He did. TAKEAWAY: Follow everything He says, and then expect to hear more. To those who have, more will be given. And our relationship with the Shepherd will grow fuller every day. PRAYER: Jesus, give me more. I'm not reluctant to ask for what You already promised to give. I'll follow every word I hear from You. Please speak to me often. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: NOT THE SMARTEST SHEEP IN THE FLOCK VERSE: [The shepherd] walks ahead of [his flock]. JOHN 10:4 ✔️ - Sheep get confused. ✔️ - They aren't the most astute animals on the planet. ✔️ - No wonder Jesus compares us to sheep. ✔️ - Like sheep, we need a guide. TAKEAWAY: He knows the terrain. He has good advice for you if you will listen. He can spare you from wrong turns and frightening dangers. His voice will get you where you need to go. PRAYER: Jesus, what lies before me on this day? What do I need to know as I go forward? Keep my feet safely on Your path. Guide me to fulfill Your will. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: LALALA...CAN'T HEAR YOU, GOD VERSE: [Jesus said,] “The hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes —so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.” MATTHEW 13:15 ✔️ - A hardened heart is the enemy of God's voice and a frightening spiritual danger. ✔️ - Hearts that have grown cold and calloused effectively keep Him out, and He lets them. ✔️ - That hardening isn't always a conscious choice. ✔️ - We become spiritually dull. TAKEAWAY: Devour Scripture, watch for His words, and look for ways to apply them. Let the softening of your heart draw you into God's nourishing, healing, strengthening presence. PRAYER: Lord, is my heart calloused? Have I tuned You out? It's difficult to recognize hardness in myself, and I need to know. In any areas of insensitivity in my life, soften me up. Draw me close. Get my attention and hold it. Heighten my spiritual senses to pick up on even the slightest whisper from You. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER TITLE: TOO SMART FOR YOUR OWN GOOD VERSE: [Jesus said,] “That is why I use these parables, for they look, but they don't really see. They hear, but they don't really listen or understand.” MATTHEW 13:13 ✔️ - Jesus' words are deep and insightful, but it doesn't take an advanced degree to understand them. ✔️ - Following Jesus is a matter of the heart. ✔️ - Jesus' teaching —and the voice of God in general —always comes to us with a context and a choice. ✔️ - Truth always requires some level of faith and humility in order to receive it. TAKEAWAY: His words aren't illogical, but they are certainly extralogical —above our ability to reason. If we can accept that, we can embrace the deep truths of His Kingdom. PRAYER: Lord, You don't want me to turn off my brain. But neither do You want me to reject any word from You that doesn't fit my logic. I give You permission to blow my mind with the things You want to tell me. ▌ABOUT US ▌

THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: [The Lord told Job,] “I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.” JOB 38:3 ✔️ - “Let Me turn the tables on you for a while. ✔️ - But you will learn more about Me from the questions I ask than you will from the answers I give. ✔️ - Answer this, for example: What is your true motivation for knowing Me? ✔️ - Do you want to connect with My heart not only because it's good for you but because it's Mine? TAKEAWAY: I have always loved you with an everlasting love, but when you open your heart to Me, My heart opens to you in new ways. And you will experience answers to questions you never thought to ask.” PRAYER: Father, You and I both know I have mixed motives, but thank You for welcoming me anyway. Purify my love for You. Fill me with holy passion. Draw me closer than I've ever had the nerve to come. Give us a stronger, deeper, heart-to-heart connection. ▌ABOUT US ▌

TAKEAWAY: In our weakest moments, when doubts seem to overwhelm us or circumstances seem to challenge our trust in Him, He whispers, “Don't be afraid; just believe.” If the dream is given by Him, He will do everything necessary to keep it alive in our hearts —including speaking through the stories in our lives. PRAYER: Lord, You are a God of stories. You write stories with the lives of Your people, You tell them to teach us deep truths, and You speak to us through them when we listen carefully. Fill my life with stories that impart Your words. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: Do not bring sorrow to God's Holy Spirit by the way you live. . . .

But when we forsake whatever grieves Him and turn back with open hearts, His voice becomes much easier to distinguish. PRAYER: Spirit of God, it grieves me to think I might have grieved You. I release the junk and clutter in my spirit. Please restore anything in our relationship that needs to be restored and sensitize my heart again to Your voice. ▌ABOUT US ▌

PRAYER: Lord, I worship You for Your creativity and welcome it in my life and the lives of others. May I never place limits on what I expect You to say or how I expect You to say it. Open my mind to anything that's on Your heart. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God's.” MATTHEW 16:23 ✔️ - Peter was not Satan. ✔️ - If heeded, his words would have prevented the Cross, which paid for the sins of the world and saved all who believe. ✔️ - Words of concern are not always words from God. ✔️ - His is the only voice we need to hear. TAKEAWAY: We must have a singular focus if we are going to hear God and fulfill what He says. When we do, He rewards us with the fruit of faith and obedience and accomplishes His will through us. PRAYER: Lord, refine my focus. No one's opinion matters to me as much as Yours does. No loving, compassionate counsel can sway me if it deviates from Your words. Give me the strength to commit to only what You say, and honor my resolve to do it. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: [Jesus said,] “I am leaving you with a gift —peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid.” JOHN 14:27 ✔️ - Christians give a lot of attention to hearing what God says, but much less to recognizing His tone of voice. ✔️ - How something is said is often more significant than the words themselves. ✔️ - So when we hear God's voice, we need to know the tone of voice it carries. ✔️ - His words will sound like they come from the mouth of the Mighty Savior who rejoices over us with singing and quiets us with His love (Zephaniah 3:17).

THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: I will bless the LORD who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me. PSALM 16:7 ✔️ - In the pattern of Hebrew parallelism, these companion statements are meant to reflect the same idea. ✔️ - When our own thoughts aren't in control, God's thoughts can flourish in us. ✔️ - Some Christians see the mind as the rightful guardian of the spirit within us, but our minds can be as fallen as any other aspect of ourselves. ✔️ - God gets an inroad directly into the heart. TAKEAWAY: Take your night guidance seriously and listen to the instruction of the heart. Ask questions when you wake up —about discernment, about interpretation, about how God wants you to respond. Your Father has been speaking to you, even at night. PRAYER: Lord, as I lie down to sleep, let Your Spirit guide my heart.

THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: [The Lord said,] “Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorant words?” JOB 38:2 ✔️ - “Perhaps I sounded angry at Job, but I wasn't. ✔️ - He saw much less than he thought he saw. ✔️ - “Go ahead. I invite you to pour out your heart to Me. ✔️ - Learn to hear Me and know Me apart from what you see. TAKEAWAY: Don't question My wisdom with ignorance. Wrestle with Me on matters of truth. Your drive and your passion to know My ways will be rewarded.” PRAYER: Lord, help me learn to question Your works without criticizing Your wisdom. Anchor me in the knowledge that You are always good, no matter how things appear. Let me hear the truth behind the scenes. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, clearly no one else is as intelligent or wise as you are. You will be in charge of my court, and all my people will take orders from you.” GENESIS 41:39-40 ✔️ - George Washington Carver began each day with an earnest prayer that God would reveal to him the secrets of the peanut ✔️ - He believed that unless God drew back the curtain on the mysteries of His creation, these things would never be seen. ✔️ - God honored Carver's request by showing him more than three hundred uses for the peanut ✔️ - He longs to show the world the goodness of His heart. TAKEAWAY: That's one of the most important reasons to listen to Him —so we can show the world His goodness. His plans are better than the enemy's and better than those of human ingenuity. He will lift His people into positions to bless if we will ask Him what's on His heart. PRAYER: Lord, Your desire is to use me as a conduit of revelation and blessing to the world around me. In order to do that, I need Joseph-like insight into Your mysteries. I will bring problems from my workplace and community to you. Please open my mind to Your divine creativity to solve them. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream last night, and no one here can tell me what it means. But I have heard that when you hear about a dream you can interpret it.” “It is beyond my power to do this,” Joseph replied. “But God can tell you what it means and set you at ease.” GENESIS 41:15-16 ✔️ - God put Joseph in a unique position to bless Egypt's people and prepare the way for Israel's people to be blessed too. ✔️ - But God cared deeply for both nations, so He raised His faithful servant into a place of influence. ✔️ - How did Joseph rise to prominence? ✔️ - He knew how to interpret and speak the language of God. TAKEAWAY: This is how He blesses the world and draws people to Himself. And He will do so with us if we will begin to listen for His answers. PRAYER: Lord, You have a solution for every problem in the world today and every problem I face. If You will share Your ideas with me, I will commit to ask for them and act on them so I can be a blessing to the world and Your Kingdom. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: While his brothers were jealous of Joseph, his father wondered what the dreams meant. GENESIS 37:11 ✔️ - Joseph had been roundly rebuked for his dreams, both by his brothers and by his father. ✔️ - But it was, and Joseph paid a heavy price for sharing what he had seen. ✔️ - Though everyone around Joseph was offended by his God-given dreams ✔️ - God began setting up that sympathetic government years ahead of time. TAKEAWAY: We serve a big-picture God, and He wants to give us a big-picture vision. He is looking for people who can hear His heartbeat for the world. PRAYER: Lord, raise my vision to look beyond myself, my immediate needs, and my near future. Show me more than I can imagine. Draw me into Your greatest purposes for this world. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: The voice said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.” REVELATION 4:1 ✔️ - “He's so heavenly minded he's no earthly good.” ✔️ - We best serve “down here” by going “up there” to fill ourselves with revelation from God. ✔️ - John was given a startling invitation by a loud voice from heaven: “Come up here, and I will show you. ✔️ - There he received visions that still inspire and amaze us today. TAKEAWAY: Like John, we may not know how to interpret them at first, but we are somehow changed simply by the experience. And we become heavenly-minded enough to offer exactly what earth needs. PRAYER: Lord, I would love to come up there, but I can't unless You take me. Fill me with Your Spirit, take the blinders off my eyes, show me the realities of heaven. Let Your Kingdom come on earth, in my life, as it is in heaven. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: [The Lord said,] “Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.” JEREMIAH 33:3 ✔️ - “I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know. ✔️ - His secrets are meant to make waves in our world. ✔️ - “About things to come.” We long for glimpses into the future. ✔️ - When we ask and draw close, He whispers the future to us. TAKEAWAY: God is excited about the future. He isn't dreading it. In Jeremiah's case, the future held correction for God's people, but it was also filled with hope. Ours is too. God longs to share His secrets with us —if we ask. PRAYER: Lord, I'm asking. Whisper Your secrets to me. Prepare me for what You have planned. Draw me close to Your heart and let me hear the deep longings within it. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: [Jesus said,] “Pay attention to how you hear. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what they think they understand will be taken away from them.” LUKE 8:18 ✔️ - Many Christians are frustrated with how difficult it is for them to hear God's voice. ✔️ - If we don't, we'll end up confused and directionless, wandering in the aftermath of having neglected God's previous instructions. ✔️ - That may seem harsh, but when we realize how much revelation it will open up before us, it's liberating. ✔️ - He wants us to be fully engaged in His Word before we ask Him for specific words for today. TAKEAWAY: Make sure you are pursuing the instructions in His Word to the best of your knowledge and ability while you seek direction for specific situations. If you listen to His teaching, He will give you more understanding. That's a promise. PRAYER: Jesus, You know how much I want more understanding. If I have neglected Your teaching in any way, I turn back toward You and ask You to restore my spirit to a position of understanding and growth. Open my heart to hear —and follow —everything You say. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: The LORD answered Job from the whirlwind. JOB 38:1 ✔️ - “Job knew only destruction from the whirlwind. ✔️ - He had to experience Me in the depths. ✔️ - “This is often where you will hear Me clearest. ✔️ - Only those who meet Me in the depths can know Me deeply. But you can't meet Me there unless something took you there. TAKEAWAY: You have been called to deeper knowledge. You may not like that, but you will benefit from it. You will encounter Me in the winds that shake your life.” PRAYER: Lord, the process of knowing You can be so painful. I know it's worth it, but part of me wishes I could remain on the surface of life. So make the most of my pain. Don't waste any of it. Use it to unveil deep mysteries about You that I never would have known. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: My heart is filled with bitter sorrow and unending grief for my people, my Jewish brothers and sisters. I would be willing to be forever cursed —cut off from Christ! —if that would save them. ROMANS 9:2-3 ✔️ - The student lived in a culture that was hostile to the truth of God, yet she burned with passion for her people. ✔️ - God keeps telling me, ‘They are yours, and one day they will accept Me.'” ✔️ - That's essentially the same message God gave Paul about his Jewish brothers and sisters. ✔️ - No words are necessary for such love. The message smolders deep within the spirit. TAKEAWAY: Like Jeremiah and the fire in his bones, people with God's passions are driven by a powerful but inaudible voice that can't be ignored. They have heard a heartbeat that words can never describe. PRAYER: Lord, give me Your passions. Fill me with Your desires. Let me overflow with Your most intense, relentless dreams for Your people. Drive me with Your heartbeat. ▌ABOUT US ▌
THE POWER OF GOD'S WHISPER VERSE: In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. ROMANS 12:6 ✔️ - It is astonishing that so many church traditions rule out the prophetic gift as an appropriate practice for today when the New Testament is so open about it. ✔️ - And he couples them, especially prophecy, with faith. ✔️ - Hearing God's voice and speaking it to others always goes hand in hand with faith. ✔️ - Yet the Spirit urges us to speak and hear anyway, exercising faith that God's voice will be understood in the process. TAKEAWAY: God gives us faith, words, and discernment. We can trust the Holy Spirit who is moving among us. PRAYER: Holy Spirit, give me faith to speak the words You give me —humbly, yet earnestly. And give all of us among the fellowship of believers discernment to recognize Your words. Prophesy through Your people. ▌ABOUT US ▌

Sarah is an artist, writer, psychic tarot reader, teacher, & business owner living in LA. @gottesss www.modernwomenprojects.com We talk about the lingering impact of childhood trauma, living as a queer adult with ADHD, queerness as ideology, accessing protective energy for oneself and much more. Shockingly we do not talk about TAROT but we do talk about the moon. Sign up for Queering the Holidays (www.livinginthisqueerbody) QUEERING THE HOLIDAYS Friday December 18th 5-7pm EST How do we navigate caring for ourselves, our partners and our friends during this pandemic holiday season? A portion of proceeds will go to The LGBTQ Freedom Fund How do we nourish ourselves? (In this first “holiday” session we will focus on food) How do we identify our needs when the demands of heteronormative, colonial settler and patriarchal holiday discourses threaten our self-determination and sovereignty? LITQB Podcast: This is a podcast about the barriers to embodiment and how our collective body stories can bring us back to ourselves. This is a podcast for people who identify as queer or for people who might think of their relationship between their body and confining social narratives as queer. This can feel like an isolating experience. Our wounded bodies need spaces to talk about struggles with nourishment/disordered eating, body image issues, dysphoria, racism, heterosexism, transphobia, xenophobia, substance use/abuse, chronic pain/disability, body changes in parenthood, intergenerational trauma, the medical/wellness/therapy industrial complex and its lack of inclusion of queer bodies and much more. Hopefully this podcast can illustrate the connections, and resonant pain points, that we have with one another.

If you’re staring down the holidays, have a stack of bills, and the balance in your savings and investments accounts keeps getting lower...And if you’re wondering how long the COVID lockdowns will last, and there’s way too much month at the end of the money...This episode is for you! If you’re able to write decent copy - even if you’re not a professional copywriter for hire... I have 7 income streams you can tap into right away... Spiritual Foundations The Whole Armor of God I got a timely reminder about one of our great rest resources - my friend Ben Greenfield posted this today... “One of my favorite incredibly powerful Bible passages, Ephesians 6:10–18, lists seven distinct pieces of spiritual armor. Armor that can equip you to be strong in the Lord and His mighty power. When I’m spiritually struggling, know that I’m entering into a situation in which I will encounter significant temptations, or am about to embark on travel away from my family and Christian support network, I often imagine adorning myself with each of these seven pieces of armor.” A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

PLUS - One Person WILL WIN $1,000 CASH During This Workshop! Click here to save your seat at the live workshop, December 1st at Noon EST 7 Income Streams For Copywriters Can you write copy? Then check out these 7 income streams most copywriters overlook... 1. Content writing: It's not all sales copy…people need blog posts, articles, scripts for their videos, etc. 2. Affiliate marketing: This one seems a little obvious, but it's often overlooked. If you have products you use and enjoy, why not share those with your list and your social media followers? They won't pay any extra and you could end up with a nice stream of revenue. 3. Social media marketing: There are many marketers out there who need help with their social media content. (not just their ad campaigns…their content) 4. Copy editing and proofreading: Even the best writers can be blind to their own mistakes. Many pay good money for an extra pair of eyes. 5. Ghost wiring: I have students who make their living almost exclusively ghost writing for others. 6. Podcast show notes: You may find some of your favorite podcasts don't have posts to support their episodes. Apparently you find value in show notes (because…here you are) so why not write up some samples and send them to the creator offering to do them for past and future episodes? 7. YouTube video descriptions: Similar to number 6, only this is for video. There are tens of thousands of videos (conservative estimate) that could benefit from a well written description. A channel that is producing high quality videos may gladly pay for some help with the text.

The holiday season is upon us and that's likely a bit overwhelming to think about. There are family members you disagree with and conversations you aren't looking forward to having and figuring out who's going where and with who, and it all feels a bit exhausting to think about.

Charlie’s Table, the maker of a new line of gluten free artsinal pasta, (www.charliestable.com) has conducted extensive research, including several series of focus groups to help them better understand the needs of the Celiac community, including refining their gluten-free product offerings. Based on this research and previous experience working with non-profit groups, it struck them that there may be significant opportunities to better connect and support the celiac disease/gluten-free community. These focus groups, organized in partnership with Baltimore Gluten, are designed to confirm whether there are unmet needs and, if so, whether their ideas to address them are worth pursuing through a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is supported by Charlie’s Table.Participants will receive a complimentary selection of fresh artisanal pasta products from Charlie’s Table. **Please note this event is for individuals living in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Washington, DC and West Virginia** If you are interested in participating, please email bhirsch@charliestable.com (bhirsch at charliestable dot com) directly in order to RSVP.

First hour from 8pm EST to 9pm EST"How to Increase Your Metaphysical Abilities" with hosts Malcolm Speirs and Michael Peterson.Malcolm and Michael will be discussing ways to increase your gifts, talents and abilities, from a beginning stage all the way through an advanced stage. Their conversation covers clairaudience, clairsentience, clairvoyance, being an empath and even trying to find the right time in a personal development to begin passing messages along to other people.Second hour from 9pm EST to 10pm EST "The Differences between a Spirit and a Ghost" with hosts Jarrod Walters and Michael Peterson. Join Jarrod and Michael as they have an open and candid discussion about the Difference Between Spirits and Ghosts. While many people seem to interchange the two items with each other at random times, we find that the smaller attributes of the word Spirit and Ghost might be minor, yet they play a much larger role in not only how a person should deal with them, but also how many paranormal investigators might view and interact with each of them. Also, Jarrod and Michael discuss why it is important to ascertain the difference, as you type you would want to consult, the other type you would not.

Week 49 of the PreMed Mondays book covers 5 ways to pay for medical school. Unfortunately, may premeds aren't taught much about finances prior to starting medical school.
