Defacto Voices

If you want to learn about something, what’s your first go-to? Are you going to google it? Are you going to phone a friend? Where are you going to get your expert advice? What did we do before tech devices?

I enjoy listening to conservative politics with Tucker Carlson or Dan Bongino. They’re my two favorites for getting the scoop of what’s going on in our nation and abroad. However, neither of them is worthy of giving deep religious advice so don’t tune in to them for that. Speaking of politics, how do you safeguard your opinions about who you should vote for? Do you have an ultimate source for discerning right from wrong?

There is one guy that frequents the same fast-food breakfast place that I regularly go to that is exactly wrong on most every issue. I bought ear plugs to keep with me so that I could filter out overhearing his nonsense. He believes in climate change, voted for Biden/Harris, advocates for masks and experimental vaccines, etc. Also, at the same breakfast place, there are a few of the Q-anon followers who believe that Elvis is still alive, that the earth is flat, and that space aliens are real. Don’t get me started on snowbird Charlie, with all his twisted “Biblical” advice about women submitting to their husbands rather than to God. Why do they believe all that nonsense? Is it because they haven’t bothered to fact-check with the ultimate fact-checker?

How hard is it to seek God for counsel? You don’t even need a tech device. You don’t need to be at a particular place. You don’t have to wait for an exact time. In fact, as far as I can tell, just about anywhere and anytime seems to suit God just fine. It’s not rocket science. In fact, it is hard-wired into our spiritual DNA. But some how it seems to be avoided at all costs by the vast majority of people … except when they want God to be their genie in the magic bottle. Oh yes, they know how to give God all their wise advice. But seeking God is definitely not on their menu.

Attached are two pages from The Rogue Prophet Magazine, “The Covenant Voice of God” (pages 20-21, dated August 2024) that offer insight about hearing God. In the days ahead, I will bring a step-by-step description about how you can easily seek God. I will even provide some introductory questions to ask Him. It’s so simple but it’s not taught in churches. Why? Do the pastors want to be your ultimate source of guidance rather than point you to Truth?
