I’d like to share an amazing experience I had last night and this morning.
.
Coming home LAST NIGHT from Bible Study I opened my Youtube channel and began (as I always do) listening to an Internet channel I trust for truth. However, after logging off and closing my eyes, I heard God tell me – you need to stop focusing on TV news and social media channels (whether or not you trust them).
When I got up THIS MORNING, Wayne and I tuned into the “OUR DAILY BREAD” app to hear God’s message for today. Before it started I thought to myself “I wonder if I’ll hear an affirmation of last night’s message”. Wow – was I blessed. Here is just a little bit of that devotion:
TITLE – HEARING CHRIST, NOT CHAOS
After watching TV news for hours each day, the elderly man grew agitated and anxious – worried the world was falling apart and taking him with it. “Please turn it off, his grown daughter begged him. Just stop listening.” But the man continued to spend an excessive amount of time on social media and other news sources.
The same question could be asked of us. In a world of panic, are we listening to “chaos or to Christ?” Here is the Scripture that went along with that post: “my sheep listen to my voice,” (Jesus said) “I know them and they follow me.” John 10:27
As our Good Shepherd, Jesus bids us to hear Him above all. May we listen well and fine His peace.
Thank You Lord for this affirmation.
Now let’s consider why I need to tune out.
WHY – because it fills my head and heart with anger and frustration and causes me to feel agitated with those who seem to be totally unaware they may be only hearing one side of the story. You see the mainline news (CBC, ABC, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, GLOBAL, CNN, FOX etc.) all have an agenda that I believe will ultimately lead us into a war we should stay far far away from.
They also are programmed (by Big Business, Big Pharma, the WEF, etc.) to convince us to use a Vaccine that some find questionable.
I also have spent a lot of time listening to those who are working to provide us with another side to all of these issues such as Brighteon, Charisma news, Life Site news, Children’s Health Defense and Canadian Covid Care Alliance who ALL agree – we are being led astray.
But, today I unsubscribed to all of these channels and have made a choice to only listen to messages from those who know the Lord Jesus and who speak His truth such as:
Truth For Life – Alistair Begg
Prophecy Update
Reasons to Believe

skywatchTV
Of course, I do look at messages from friends who are asking for Prayer etc.
I hope you find this post not only interesting but enlightning. I am not trying to lead you to believe either side of these issues. I realize that most people have an opinion and it’s not my job to convince you otherwise. My goal is to share how God works in our lives – to bring us into HIS truth. The following Prayer is what was shared at the end of the devotion I mentioned in the opening of this post.
“Loving God, in a noisy world, when You speak to my heart, mind, and spirit in and through the Scriptures, may I hear You over all.” Amen
