welcome to a very special edition of

Kingdom connection I’m coming to you

from the Sea of Galilee behind me is

where Jesus taught on the Hills behind

me the Beatitudes and just a little bit

down in the few moments in the picture

as we Cruise along the shoreline here

you’ll see the city of Capernaum where

he performed many mighty Miracles where

he healed the woman with the issue of

blood where he taught powerful lessons

in the synagogue

and I believe today the message that I’m

going to share with you is a word in

season I want to talk to you today about

how you can discern The Whispers of God

the power of one whisper from God

can change your life there were people

in the scriptures who heard the whisper

of God and you may not understand what

I’m talking about but stay with me for a

few moments because I believe you’re

going to hear that voice that so many

did in the scriptures he said in John 10

that he desires to communicate and talk

to us that God is still speaking he’s

still speaking and giving directions to

his people some of you need to know

God’s direction God’s will you’re at an

intersection you don’t know which way to

go in your business or in your life

maybe you’re single and you’re searching

for that right person there’s a whisper

that can come to you from God that can

direct your path in remarkable

astonishing ways and I’m going to prove

it to you in the scriptures God seldom

yells at us

but what he does is he sends that gentle

whisper that voice

that Rings true down on the inside that

says this is my will this is my

direction for your life and I was

thinking about the story in first Samuel

chapter 3. of how that

there was a man by the name of Eli the

high priest he was in the temple and the

scripture said that there was a young

lad there young boy by the name of

Samuel

and every night the voice of God would

call out to him Samuel Samuel was the

Whisperer of God Samuel I’m calling you

Samuel I have a purpose for your life

did you know that even our children can

hear the Whisper Of God even teenagers

they don’t have to wait till they’re 20

or 30 to find God’s will plan and

Direction and calling for their life and

here’s Eli in the temple and he hears in

that Temple boy I want our young people

I want our children to hear the voice of

God the calling voice of God I want to I

want God to give them Samuel ears for

this generation to hear God calling them

and why he put them here what is their

purpose

the text said when God called out Samuel

Samuel that he would get up and he would

go into the high priest Eli and wake him

up and say did you call me and Eli said

I didn’t call you and this happened

three times three times Samuel woke up

in the night and he kept going to Eli

the high priest saying I heard a voice

calling me was it you and finally the

the old priest said to him it’s the

voice of God and the next time that you

hear that whisper saying your name you

say these words Samuel you say Speak

Lord thy servant heareth

and sure enough God one more time speaks

and calls him by his name it’s that

gentle whisper Samuel Samuel

and he said Speak Lord thy servant hears

and you know the rest of the story he

became perhaps the greatest Old

Testament prophet in all of the

scripture so powerful was what God

communicated to him so powerful was his

ability to hear God’s voice that the

Bible uses this term not one of his

words fell to the ground in other words

he had such an open line of

communication that when God would

whisper to him Direction and he would

speak it God would say not one word will

fall to the ground I’ll back it up all

of heaven will back it up I Believe In

The Whispers of God I believe in how

powerful they are in our lives I know

for me the first time that I encountered

The Whisper of God in a magnificent and

significant way

was when I was 20 years old I had given

my heart to the Lord and I had

surrendered my life but I was in my

second year of college and I loved music

and I thought I was going to do music

for for the rest of my life and be a

musician and that was my plan

but One Summer

uh that second summer when I was home

from school I felt the Lord just

impressed me to seek him for three days

of fasting and I fasted for three days

and on the third day of that fast

there came a Whisper Of God he didn’t

write it in graffiti I didn’t hear an

audible voice I didn’t see an angel

but I’m telling you I can take you to

the spot in North Carolina where I heard

the gentle Whisper of God and he said

I’ve called you to preach

I’ve called you to go in my name and

I’ll go with you and I’ll use you

and I’ll I’ll use you to preach and win

souls for me

and that

that one whisper now listen to me

carefully when God Whispers something to

you there are many people

many people who need you to hear the

whisper of God and need you to act on

The Whisper Of God that one whisper that

summer changed the whole direction of my

life I announced to my family and people

who knew me God had called me to preach

and that summer I started to preach my

first sermon and I thought I would go

back to school in the fall but I never

stopped I’ve never stopped to this day

preaching the gospel it all came because

one whisper from God he’s got Whispers

for you he has a whisper concerning his

will for your life the season that

you’re in I remember a second major

Whisper Of God that I heard in my life

as I was 25 years old I’d been

evangelizing with my brother for many

years and we’d preached all over the

nation

and he got married and I was single and

I started traveling and was a single

evangelist and I was 25. and I remember

that I went to North Georgia to preach

and I saw

a beautiful girl by the name of Charisse

and I just over time just dated her a

few times but there came that moment in

my life where I knew God just whispered

to me marry her and he didn’t have to

scream that one because she’s so

beautiful

the greatest thing that ever happened to

me I don’t know what I would be in the

ministry today if anything without my

dear wife Charisse she’s amazing amazing

woman

God gave me the her full of wisp he said

marry her I remember there was some a

minister who called me and tried to tell

me that wasn’t the right move and that I

was missing God’s will but you know when

God Whispers to you it doesn’t matter

what other people say you just have a no

that I know that I know and I knew she

was the one and she was the one

God has a whisper for some of you some

of you are listening to me today

and you know you’re single or you’ve

been through a divorce or you’ve been

through a busted relationship and you’re

heartbroken but God has that whisper

and he knows how to whisper to the other

he’s a Matchmaker he knows how to

whisper to that other person and bring

you together pray about it and say God

give me Samuel ears

that when you’re Whispering I want to

hear it I wanna I wanna fresh new

whisper from God this year I tell you he

has plans he has directions he has a

will for your life I thought about after

I met Charisse and you know a lot of

people are counting on you hearing the

whisper of God

and not too long after that because

Charisse was connected to a little

church called Free Chapel I went and

preached and the pastor there was a man

by the name of Roy Welborn

and he asked me to come to make a long

story short

I was there and at his invitation

and he passed away the week that he

invited me nine months before

that very week that he invited me to

come preach nine months in advance he

passed away

and they asked me to preach on the

Sunday morning when their Pastor was

going to have his funeral in the

afternoon

and I went into that church in

Gainesville Georgia at free chapel and I

preached a brand new message I’d never

preached before that I knew God had

given me for that grieving congregation

that had lost their Pastor for many many

decades

and I’ll never forget it as long as I

live as as I finish that message and

then they had the funeral service after

the Sunday morning service

I walked out of the pulpit and I heard

these words they are sheep

without a Shepherd it was as clear not

in an audible voice but it was a whisper

a strong impression when when God

Whispers to you you don’t have to you

don’t there’s no arguing you just know

that he’s speaking

and I heard him say there’s that’s all

he said they’re sheep without a shepherd

and it was almost like in that I heard

him saying will you Pastor this people

and it wasn’t long after that that they

called me and asked me to be their

pastor and I didn’t think about this but

behind the camera that we’ve got several

camera people and one of the camera

people with me on this trip is his last

name is Welborn it’s Daniel welberg he’s

the grandson

of Roy Wilburn the pastor that I

followed at Free Chapel

all of that here he is in the ministry

standing on a boat filming on the Sea of

Galilee

all of that depended upon a whisper

a whisper

oh Hallelujah God has a plan

God has a plan Whispers almost feel

Reckless sometimes they almost feel

like you know it takes Faith it’s one

thing to hear it then you have to move I

had to leave my denomination when I

heard that that whisper I had to give up

all my security I was like uh Elijah

Elisha when Elijah came walking by the

Bible said he broke the plows he had

been a farmer all of his life and he

broke compiles he said I’m never coming

back to this I’m going in this direction

I’ve heard a whisper from God

it’s a powerful thing when God Whispers

to you and I was thinking about how that

so many times we need that proceeding

word of God Jesus said man shall not

live by bread alone listen to me

carefully but by every word that

proceeds from the mouth of God you know

when Abraham

uh took Isaac up on Mount Moriah he did

that on a word from the Lord God told

him to do it and he said sacrifice him

and he raised the knife but watch this

this is the preceding word

and as he was about to stab the boy in

the heart at God’s word there came a

voice that said stay your hand stop your

hand I was testing you what if he had

not

heard a fresh proceeding word the

preceding word means don’t proceed

without this

if if you don’t have those Samuel ears

at certain seasons in your life just

because God told you to do something

doesn’t mean you’re supposed to do it

for the rest of your life to stay where

you are for the rest of your life God

has new directions for you God has new

orders for you

and he has a new whisper for you

I felt like telling you this and I wrote

it down in the hotel room here just this

morning early your greatest Whispers

are not in your past

I’m preaching to somebody who’s

listening to me today and the Lord wants

you to know that your greatest Whispers

that he has for you are not in your past

they’re in your future

and all along I’ve had the Holy Spirit

Come to Me and whisper to me a new word

a fresh word a proceeding word new

directions

I remember at one time how of whisper

from God can change your direction and

you got to be humble enough to change

and shift When God Says change

and uh we were planning on expanding the

sanctuary we had already hired an

architect we were going to add 2 000

more seats to our Auditorium it was

going to be a 40 million dollar building

program we were going to have a bridge

that that went over to another parking

lot it was it and I’ll never forget it

as long as I lived I

I knew that we could do it we we were

lined up to do it we had everything

lined up to do it and I heard the

whisper of God

and all that I heard was the Lord say

wait on me

wait on me

and I I knew that something wasn’t right

we could have done it we should have

done it everything said we could do it

but God said don’t do it

and we pulled back and we said we’re not

going to do it I had to get up and kind

of tell the church that you know I don’t

understand this but God’s got a plan and

it seemed like people just really uh

actually just felt peace with me and

within a few months there was a campus

down the road our Gwinnett Campus Church

it was a building that was being built

and I want you to listen to me how God

has a plan

it had 21 Acres right on the interstate

it was a church that had started

building the building

and somehow they had gone through

conflict the church fell apart in the

middle of the building program the

pastor left and went up north somewhere

and the church fell to pieces and there

was a building sitting on the side of

the highway I wrote this down to make

sure I had it right it was valued at 16

million dollars the bank took the note

and it went from 16 million and they put

it up for sale for 9 million

and then they put it up for sale for six

million and then I heard about it

after I stopped the building program

that we were just about to break ground

on

and we bought that property for

2.8 million dollars

and we have a thriving Church there with

hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and I

can say thousands of people have been

saved in that building

and it all God had a plan and then came

Orange County and then came another

campus and another campus and another

campus and another in another and he’s

still at

what if I hadn’t heard that whisper what

if I had just kept right on going and

put everything right there in that

building I’m telling you God’s

greatest Whispers in your life are ahead

of you if you’ll just begin to pray and

say God lead me

I tell you when we obey the Lord when we

do what he says do and as we’re going

along the the coastline here

and right over to my left is Capernaum

where Jesus headquartered his ministry

and he did more miracles in that place

and in this region than anywhere

I’m telling you that same voice can

whisper to you Direction

can can whisper to you what to do to

make that business Prosper it was on

this Sea of Galilee that he said to a

failing businessman

cast your nets on the other side

and when he cast his Nets on the other

side the Bible said that the so many

fish came in the Nets that he had to

call for the other boats and say help me

I’m sinking in prosperity and blessing

God can whisper to You One Direction it

was one whisper that came to Simon Peter

when he was in a storm on this on this

body of water

Jesus came walking on the water he had

told him to go over to the other side

and just because you are in a storm

doesn’t mean you’re out of the will of

God As a matter of fact I would be

worried if the enemy never fights you if

Satan never bothers you it’s because

you’re going in the same direction with

him and all of his Devils but if you

really are doing the will of God you

will have opposition you you will go

through storms I really believe it was

Satan that brought the storm because

when they got to the other side which is

right over I’m looking at it in this

direction it’s the land of the

Gatherings

and when when he got to the other side

he said a man free from demons you could

be right on the verge of the greatest

breakthrough in one of your family

members who’ve been tormented by demon

spirits of addiction and suicide and

eating disorders and the storm is just

trying to talk you out of your Miracle

don’t quit and the Bible said he heard

a whisper in his storm

and he said Lord if it’s you

if that’s you out on this water walk in

on the water bid me to come

and he heard one whisper that changed

his life

Jesus said come on

come on

come on and he stepped off the boat

and he walked on the water with Jesus

I’m preaching to some people right now

who need to know

that Jesus is not finished with you his

greatest whispers are not in your past

ask him right where you are

he’s speaking saying come to me

give me your life give me your struggles

give me your questions

I’ll never forget as long as I live

a few years ago when I came to Israel

I’d been many times but the Lord spoke

to me one whisper about this nation

he said favor what I favor

bless what I bless

and I will bless you I will bless your

families I will bless the ministry I

will bless the TV Ministry I will bless

you and make you a blessing

he said but bless this nation bless it

mightily trust I trust you to bless this

nation and I I will I wept as I walk the

streets in Jerusalem I heard him while I

was walking on a busy street he said if

you’ll bless what I bless it was just a

whisper not an audible voice just a

whisper and we started doing that

and we have seen God

open the windows of heaven and pour out

his blessings our ministry is debt free

we owe no man nothing for the glory of

God

and we do missions all over the world

and especially right here in the nation

of Israel why

because one whisper from God

there’s provision in it there’s healing

in it in his whisper there’s Direction

there’s a plan of God for you and your

family for Generations I want to pray

for you just stretch your hand toward me

right here on the Sea of Galilee I speak

miracles to you today in the mighty name

of Jesus Lord you did it right behind me

right on these seashores you you healed

the woman with the issue of blood you

multiplied the fish in the loaves in

those mountains behind me

so you can provide for somebody today

you can heal somebody today you can heal

broken families and broken homes today

you can heal blood diseases and cancer

and all kind and all manner of sickness

and disease

and Lord I pray for the lost I pray for

those who are bound by evil spirits that

are just tormenting and destroying their

lives be set free

in the name of Jesus now while I’m

speaking to you there’s you hear a voice

inside of my voice that’s the Whisper Of

God he’s saying come come to me come to

come to me

my name is Jesus

call on his name

in Jesus name pray this prayer Lord I

receive you as my savior as my Lord give

me those ears like Samuel like Elisha

like Elijah to hear new directions your

will for my light one scripture that I

say a lot

is this and I conclude with this I pray

this almost every day

there’s a verse and I believe it’s

Isaiah 50 that says you shall hear a

voice behind you saying this is the way

walk in it then he said morning by

morning

you awaken my ears to hear and give me

the tongue of the learn if you’ll ask it

God’s going to give you Sam your ears

and get ready for the Whispers of God in

your life
