The Soul Whisperer

The Whisper that Pursed me Captivated my soul...

Years ago in my late 20's, Divine Love spoke to my heart in a Whisper that it Transformed me. The Whisper Captivated me so much, that I couldn't go back to that lifestyle I was living.

The voice of Truth & Love led me to burn some ships. Any worldly relationship, fellowship, partnership, and friendship I had was now gone as I now journeyed in a companionship walk with The Lord. It's a great adventure. Sacred over secular.

Romans 12:2 "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and, perfect will of God."

My tongue was the greatest of my fights & struggle, a stronghold of criticism. I spoke harshly and sharply to hurt people intentionally. At times, I found myself being hung by the tongue. In other words, my own words would come back to me in regret of what I had said. I can speak of this now as I am not who I was before I became a believer in Christ Jesus. Those who knew me then and now can see that transformation. Only by the Amazing Grace & Mercy of God, He has set me free from that stronghold of criticism. Words matter and they can build and tear down, bring life or death to a person's spirit.

For example, one day I was at school and a teacher approached me and said "Hello Cris" and my response was "Hi." She then said, "Is that all you can say, not Hello Mrs.__________ ?"  And I responded harshly with, "I said Hi!?!" of course I said it in the most harsh and arrogant tone without a thought. That teacher walking away hurt and grieved. One of my friends sitting next to me looked at me with eyes wide open as if to say "How brazen I was to respond to a teacher that way." I wish I could say that on that very day I was kind with my words moving forward but the fact was, I had gotten worse. I began having a reputation of being quick with the comebacks and a "Don't mess with her because she'll devour you with critical words" attitude. In hinds sight, how it must have grieved the Lord but still, He pursued with words of Love to a bitter heart... A bitter heart has a critical tone. That was my tone then.

Proverbs 18:21 "Death and Life are in the power of the tongue: And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."

The Whisper pursued me never the less. The One who calls you, called you even when you were so very young. The calling or purpose, is your greatest fight; and mine were my words. But before words are spoken and manifested, they came from my thought pattern. At that time, I had a critical thought pattern and my words came out in like manner. Sadly I'd eat the fruit of them as well...

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...

Psalm 139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, When I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest of the earth. thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; And in my book all my members were written, Which in continuance were fashioned, When as yet there was none of them.

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. The Whisper captivated my soul. At times, but not many, that old worldly nature tries to come out but I have to combat it by continuing in His word. Believing in faith the promises spoken in the red letters. Looking back I can identify the many moments He was there to get my attention; stopped me and sat with me to try to reason with my heart in words to my level of maturity. In all honesty, Love is not only in word, but in deed. He surrounds us with people who will love on us and show us pure and wholesome love. Although I fought Him every step of the way, He still pursued me... The Lord still pursues mankind to bring them into salvation and eternal life. Such Redeeming Love.

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth His Love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

If you are struggling & fighting even now, look deeply at the struggle and perhaps you may see the calling or purpose in the midst of that fight. We are recipients of Salvation and He pursues us with that Love; a gift freely given to us. For God so loved the world that He Gave His only Begotten Son that whosoever believes on Him shall not perish but have Everlasting Life. John 3:16

Everlasting Life; Gods Love calls and pursues everyday. The Word of God became flesh and dwelt among us and died on a wooden cross and shed His life giving blood in exchange for freedom of death and hell. Love written in eternity in red letters. Those are the words we need to embrace and speak as they are Life, Love, and Light to the soul. Those are the words we need to eat the fruit of and drink of that cup. Taste and see that the Lord He Is Good.

1 Corinthians 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

Psalm 139:23,24 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my thoughts; And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

King David who led the nation of Israel was from the tribe of Judah and had so many short coming and still, he was a man after God's own heart. David was quick to repent and sought the Lord wholeheartedly in spite of all his short comings. Mary Magdalene had a very colorful reputation and the Lord transformed her life as well. The Samaritan woman at the well also had a very colorful reputation of having many husbands and the Lord also, transformed her life. Many are the stories of those who had Encounters with Jesus that it transformed them and their lifestyle. They did not conform to the ways of the world anymore but were Transformed by Jesus the Living Word. When you truly have a Divine Encounter with Jesus, you are not only changed, but born again and the old you is gone.

I pray His word begins to encourage you; that divine love is Calling you as it did when you were a child and continues to call you and whisper to your soul now, while there is still time. The invitation to open the door and commune with Him daily. I was given a table years ago and dumped everything out of my pockets to see the hidden things I carried; baggage of bitterness. Words of spite and criticism seeped out from thoughts

Hebrew 12:15 looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.

Now, a new table is set in front where we can pour out and commune daily as we strive to be more like Him and His loving nature. Drink from the cup of Life, Love, and Light. It's so much Sweeter & Better with Him leading and guiding us. May our words build up and may we speak life and encouragement to a each other especially, behind closed doors. The voice of the Soul Whisperer changes us. It changed and transformed me. May a change happen to you as well, if it hasn't already. May the Lord help us redeem the time also while the opportunities arise to show and speak Love, Life, and Light even in a whisper...

If you feel a conviction deep within as I did, here is a prayer to consider. I prayed this simple prayer...

"Lord I save sinned against you and I am truly sorry. Please forgive me. I can't live my life like this anymore and I don't want to either. That which I wanted to give you I can't anymore. All I have left is a broken messed up heart and I give it to You truly and wholly if You still want it. Lord I give You my heart and my life to do what You desire. I can't do this alone anymore and I don't want to go another day without Your presence in my life. Please take it all; You can have it. I give it freely to You. In Jesus name I pray, amen."

His response to that prayer was in a soft gentle whisper, "That's all I ever wanted, was Your heart...

My life that day He transformed and I sure felt His presence from that day forward, and so can you. Salvation is a free gift, repentance and acknowledgment of your sin is the key to freedom. Go and sin no more. For He whom the Son sets free, is Free indeed.
