I'm Sorry

I'm sorry that I place my heart on my sleeve, because I risk hurting those whom I care about.

I'm sorry I desire strength, because God can only truly use me, when I'm weak.

I'm sorry I'm vocal when I should listen to Him, when...

God whispers

Well....

Well...

I didn't listen to the president's speech tonight.

I am weary of the baseless rhetoric, that washes over us, like a tidal way of.....

garbage!

I always have heard that the only time a politician lies, is....

when he opens his mouth.

Point Proven!

I must be doing something right

I have said for years, if you have the devil's attention, you must be doing something right....

I must be doing something right...

I fighting my third cold this year and I don't get colds...

My new car has mechanical problems.

My mortgage just went up $130

My house's plumbing is having problems...again this year

My income has been reduced by $450 per month..

Praise The Lord!

Devil.... I WILL NOT DENOUNCE MY LORD

I will....

Keep doing His will.

I will continue to listen and proclaim His truth, when...

God whispers

I. Warcross

We Are Stewards

I do not like Obama...

I would rather have someone else as president...

Jobs are very important, but....

I was pleased to hear that he denied the permit for the Keystone Pipeline.

The company has a less than acceptable record.

They are a threat to the environment.

Yes we need to be less dependent on Arab oil, but...

Not at the expense of our natural environment.

God made Adam steward of His creation.

Nothing has changed; There was no new mandate superseding this responsibility.

Listen, when....

God whispers

War Is Hell

Sherman once said that that "War is Hell."

This fact remains the same. War is not nice. War is not civil; War is not fair.....

War is War!!!

Get over your sensitive selves.

I wish war was not a reality, but it has been in existence since the beginning of time.

You can wish and hope, for peace, but...

It's not realistic!!

God Whispers If We Will Listen

A Presidential Poem

I listen to their words with growing dread

As they each attempt to win; to surge ahead

The lies are different, but so much the same

Each claiming humility, yet seeking after fame

We must elect some one, we have really no choice

We must be welling to raise our our collective voice

We cannot let our country retain our current chief

Unless we are willing to suffer more sorrow; more grief

For Too Long

For too long I have been silent..

For too long I have stood back and let others voices speak for our God...

For too long my pen has lain silent...

For too long I have been disobedient...

I am sorry, my Lord..

I have not spoken the words you have whispered in my spirit.

For too long...

But never again

I will speak; I will write

When My God whispers

I. Warcross

WHAT WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR

(THIS IS A PRESENTATION I GAVE TO MY CHURCH ON 11/13/2011)


THANK PASTOR STEVE

I WANT THANK PASTOR STEVE FOR ALLOWING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO

DELIVER THE MESSAGE THIS MORNING. IT SHOWS A LOT OF COURAGE*,

BUT NEVERTHELESS, I AM GRATEFUL TO HIM FOR ALLOWING ME TO

STAND HERE BEFORE YOU.


THE FACT THAT I SPEAKING TO YOU THIS MORNING, DRIVES HOME A

VERY BIG POINT;

IF YOU PESTER YOUR PASTOR ENOUGH, HE MIGHT JUST CALL YOUR

BLUFF. ..HOPE I DON’T LET HIM DOWN.



FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP

TEAM FOR BRINGING THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE HOUSE. YOU ARE

AWESOME! THAT ONE SONG IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES AND ALWAYS

ILLUSTRATES THE DEEP ABIDING LOVE OF GOD


WHEN I GOT THE CALL TO SPEAK TODAY, I HESITATED

….FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS.

MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY WOULD SAY THAT’S STRETCHING THE TRUTH,

BUT FOR THE SAKE OF DISCUSSION LET’S STICK WITH 5 SECONDS


THOSE WHO KNOW ME, KNOW THAT I HAVE NO PROBLEM SPEAKING

BEFORE PEOPLE, …NO MATTER HOW OFTEN MY WIFE HAS TRIED TO HUSH

ME UP.


BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND, I STAND BEFORE YOU ONLY BECAUSE JESUS

ALLOWS IT

I HOPE THAT I NEVER FORGET THAT. AND I HAVE PEOPLE WHO WON’T LET

ME.

WHEN I SOUGHT GOD TO SEE WHAT HE MIGHT WANT ME TO SPEAK ON, HE

HESITATED LESS TIME THAN I DID.


OUR NATION IS PREPARING TO COME TOGETHER AROUND TABLES TO

CELEBRATE A DAY OF THANKS GIVING, AND I AM HERE TO TELL YOU

WHAT WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL FOR.


IT IS EASY TO BE THANKFUL FOR THE GOOD THINGS, EVEN THOUGH

THE THOSE THINGS HAVE A FLIP SIDE.

HOME

I’M THANKFUL FOR MY HOME, EVEN THOUGH IT REMINDS ME THAT

THERE THOSE WHO SLEEP IN THE STREETS.


I’M THANKFUL FOR MY CAR, THOUGH IT REMINDS ME THAT SOME DO NOT

HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY A CAR AND ARE FORCED TO WALK

EVERYWHERE OR DEPEND ON THE GOOD GRACES OF FAMILY, FRIENDS

AND EVEN STRANGERS, FOR RIDES.


I’M THANKFUL FOR THE FOOD ON THE TABLE, …(PAT BELLY)

THOUGH IT SERVES TO REMIND ME THAT SOME WILL GO TO SLEEP

TONIGHT HUNGRY…. AND EVEN SADDER IS THE LARGE NUMBER OF

CHILDREN, IN THAT GROUP.

I’M THANKFUL FOR THE CLOTHES I WEAR, THOUGH I KNOW THAT MANY

WEAR RAGS BECAUSE THAT’S ALL THEY HAVE.

I‘M THANKFUL FOR MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY, AND YET I KNOW THAT

THERE ARE SOME WHO ARE ALONE, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN

DESERTED BY THEIRS.

I‘M THANKFUL FOR THE MIGHTY MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD, IN THE

BIBLE. SINNERS LIKE YOU AND ME, BUT…GOD STILL LOVED THEM.

I‘M THANKFUL FOR MY WIFE WHO HAS PUT UP WITH ME FOR ALL THIS

YEARS AND HOPE THAT SHE IS WILLING TO DO IT FOR MANY MORE YEARS

TO COME.

I‘M THANKFUL FOR MY CHURCH, WHO ACCEPTS ME, IN SPITE OF MY

FLAWS…AND I HAVE MANY.

I’M THANKFUL FOR MY JOB, THOUGH I DON’T REALLY LIKE THE WAY IT IS.


I’M THANKFUL FOR ALL THIS THINGS AND YET I’M NOT IN COMPLIANCE

WITH THE WORD OF GOD.

IF YOU WOULD PLEASE TURN TO 1ST THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5,

VERSES 16 THROUGH 18.

(READ FROM BIBLE)

WHEN GOD DIRECTED ME TO THIS, MY FIRST RESPONSE WAS……

ALL?

I’M SPEAKING TO ME AS MUCH AS I AM SPEAKING TO YOU. I HAVE

STRUGGLED WITH THIS PASSAGE FOR MANY YEARS AND YET WHEN I GO

BACK TO IT , IT SAYS THE SAME THING…

ALL!

I HAVE PONDERED THIS AND RESEARCHED THIS, TRYING TO FIND A LOOP

HOLE. (THERE ISN’T ONE),

AND EVERY TIME I BEGAN MY SEARCH, I’M DRAWN BACK TO MY

HERO…KING DAVID.

WHEN HIS SPIRIT WAS UP OR DOWN …HE WAS THANKFUL

WHEN HIS ENEMIES PURSUED HIM, TRYING TO TAKE HIS LIFE…HE WAS

THANKFUL.

AND WHEN HE WAS VICTORIOUS…HE WAS THANKFUL

WHEN THE CHILD CONCEIVED IN ADULTERY WITH BATHSHEBA WAS

TAKEN FROM HIM…HE WAS THANKFUL

WHEN, LATER, GOD BLESSED THEIR SECOND CHILD, SOLOMON …HE WAS

THANKFUL

AS CONSIDERED THIS, I BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND WHY GOD KEPT TAKING

ME BACK TO KING DAVID…HE WAS THANKFUL IN ALL THINGS; ALL

CIRCUMSTANCES.

HE UNDERSTOOD.

IT IS DIFFICULT AND FOR SOME, IMPOSSIBLE, TO BE THANKFUL IN ALL

CIRCUMSTANCES. I WOULD LIKE TO TELL YOU THAT THERE IS A

DIFFERENT TRANSLATION THAT MODIFIES THIS, BUT…THEY ALL SAY…

ALL

NOT JUST SOME OF THE THINGS

NOT JUST THE GOOD THINGS

ALL

I WOULD LIKE ADD ONE MORE PERSON TO MY LIST OF THINGS I’M

THANKFUL FOR.

I’M THANKFUL FOR JESUS.

HE CAME..HE DID NOT HAVE …

HE DIED FOR ME…

HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD

AND I, THE GREATEST OF SINNERS…

AM FREE!

(I SPEAK WHEN GOD WHISPERS)

Samheim

WE are about to celebrate a non-holiday; Samheim or Halloween to Wicca.

I say non-holiday, because that's the excuse that public schools have to justify decorating the classrooms with carved pumpkins, and pictures of bats, goblins and witches.

To the countless hundreds of thousands witches and pagans in the world this is an insult.

To me, its an thorn in my side.

Declare it a holiday and cast it out of our children's classrooms, like Christmas and Easter!

Or...allow them all!

I will not be silenced and I will proclaim the truth, when....

God whispers

Isaiah Warcross

Don't Blow It!

We, as a nation, have made our share, of mistakes.

In 2012, we have a chance to correct a mistake we made 4 years ago.

We elected a man, who managed to put us into debt beyond our grand children's worst nightmare.

Don't blow it, America!

Move this country to recovery; back to it's prior glory.

Let Obama join the growing ranks, of unemployed.

We need a person, in the Oval office, who listens, when...

God whispers

Isaiah Warcross

Stereotypes

A few weeks ago I heard about an Oklahoma Seminole tribal leader who was upset about the

mascot for a college being a Native American, because it created an unwanted stereotype.

Okay....let's examine this thinking.

All Southerners are bigots.... I'm from Tennessee and I love all races.

All Christians are strait laced and conservative...I'm an ordained minister with tattoos.

All Republicans are for the rich... I vote Republican and I think they should be taxed accordingly.

My point is, if the college was making a mockery of the Seminoles, than, yes, get rid of the mascot.

They're not....

So get over it!

Warcross

Some will miss him

I don't own a Apple product, but I think I would like to.

I have been impressed with Steve Jobs, for a long time, but...

I refuse to get caught up in idol worship.

He was brilliant, thanks to God, who blessed him, with his genius, but....

I don't think he would not like all the attention. In fact, he probably be a little embarrassed.

Understand that this is just my opinion...

but I'm convinced I'm right.

Go Figure

Our dear president is getting lower, daily, in the polls...

Go figure...


High unemployment...

High deficit....

Showing little respect for the religion of our Founding Fathers and embracing the values, of our enemies...

Face it, America is finally waking up!

It's About Time!

I write and speak the truth, because I listen when....

God whispers

Warcross

9/11

We are quickly approaching 9/11, the day that we discovered that we are not invincible!

A day that we experienced hatred, unlike any we had ever known.

But the years have passed and the time has come...

for us to know this day as a day of love.

Our church, in Bethany, Oklahoma, starts anew. We launch our new church, Bethany Passion Church.

It is an opportunity to start fresh. A time to reclaim 9/11, as the day of the One True God.

Run, enemies of God, because you have failed! We are not going to quake, in our boots. We are not going to fear your warped example of Deity.

We have arrived! Take Notice and...

join us!

I stand, in awe, when....

God whispers

Wake Up, America!

We have an oppurtunity to correct a wrong.

The presidential elections are coming up and, if we listen and are wise....

we will throw out Obama!

The black leaders like him because he's black. Looks are deceiving!

The Democrats thinks he's the answer to what ails us, when he doesn't even know all the questions.

He's a Socialist, who wants us to join him, in his insanity.

He's a Muslim, who shows favoritism to others who hate our nation.

He's a Liberal, who seeks to pass laws, embraced by a minority, not the rank and file citizen.

Wake Up, America!

Purses!!!

I hate purses!

Big Purses....Little Purses....Purses made with leather....Purses made from cloth!

Purses!

Actually I don't really hate them, but I don't understand why some people think they can't be happy if they don't buy a new one every time they see one.

Purses were created by God and then cursed by the devil!

Purses...I really don't like them!

Oh well, she just seen another one, she...just....has ....to ....have!

What Exactly Are They Worried About?

Every day I hear the "Talking Heads," steering up fear, in the minds of the American voter.

We have a Conservative, Christian Republican running for president, and....

that worries some Liberals.

They shout that if he is elected, our country will become a theocracy. That he will shove his "Limited Thinking," down our throats.

This makes me wonder....

Why are we happy with a president who is shoving Socialism and Islamic rhetoric down our throat?

Just a question!

I will vote the faith of our Founding Fathers and...

I will vocal when...

God whispers

Warcross

Do We Need A Holy War?

We are bombarded daily, with extremist Islamic rhetoric and, frankly...

I've had enough!

Christians have become so busy turning the other cheek, that they have allowed our nation to become a semi Islamic nation.

This nation was founded by christian men and women.

Yes, it was established to be a place that persons of all faiths could worship as they beleved.

But...

we have allowed the "other religions," to dictate policy and...

that means that they can supercede our rights.

I am a warrior, for the One True God, and I'm ticked!

Maybe, just maybe, we should show some courage.

Exercise your religious rights, enjoy your sexuality, start your own schools, elect those who share your views, but...

Don't shove them down my throat!

I will write, when

God whispers

Warcross

Send Them Back?

One of the most pressing issues we deal with is...

Do illegal aliens have the right to be in our country?

Yes...and No

Let me explain.

We have laws that were developed to control who would be allowed entry into our country. This was never"profiling," just good thinking.

We did not become a great nation by letting each and every loser in and yet, there are those who believe that we should just open our borders and let them all stream in.

I heard the other day about a prize winning reporter who was sent to America, as a child....

illegally!

He has come forward and, basically, turned himself in. He faces deportation.

This is wrong!

He represents the person this nation desires.

The children of illegal immigrants did not violate the law, their families did.

Yes, send the riffraff back to where they came from, but....

don't punish the children; don't punish those who contribute to the well being of our nation.

We have laws. The time has come to change them!

Warcross

Isn't It Kind Of Sad?

Is it not sad that, if forced, children can get along?

Our "Leaders" has agreed to a compromise.

I have mixed feelings.

Yes I'm glad they finally got it together, but, at what cost.

I may never trust the leaders we elect, but elect them we must.

I'm glad I put my trust in God, and...

not mortal man!

I will strive to to do his will, when...

God whispers

Warcross

I Want It My Way

I want it my way.

My way is the best.

I'm .....wrong.

I sit daily listening to the school kids in Washington DC arguing about what it best for nation.

One side says if the other side doesn't do it their way, they will not play.

Grow up!

We elected you to represent us.

Do It!

I listen and strive to do my best, when,

God whispers

Warcross

I'll Let You Pay For It

I have a great idea!

I'm going to go out and spend more money, charge more things than my great grandchildren can pay back and...

I'll let you pay for it!

Sounds fair to me!

Yes it's not fair for you , but...

if our government can do it, why can't I?

I grow weary of the petty bickering going on, in our nation's capitol.

Novel Idea!

Get over your personal garbage and just do your job.

The American voters are watching!

I speak if and when....

God whispers

Warcross

Pudding Cups

Every day I take, in my lunch, a pudding cup.

Very tasty, and gratifying to my chocolate craving, but...

the best part, bar none, is the saying on the label.

Such as...

" Giggles are legal in all 50 states" or...

" Share a good thought with someone."

Kinda sounds like the Good News.

Christ said we are to love every one and spread the good news.

Sad that a pudding cup label does more than most believers.

Spread some good news....every day!

And listen when....

God whispers

Isaiah Warcross

I'm Sorry

Sometimes I speak, ignoring God's urging...

to be silent.

I still don't truly trust conferences and conventions, but...

I am associated with one that seems determined to prove me wrongly supicious.

I will watch; I will wait and...

hopefully I'll change my mind.

Test me; Prove me wrong!

Please.....

I will try to speak only when God whispers and directs.

Isaiah Warcross

Thirty Four Years

Who would have thought!

34 years ago, today, I married my best friend and...

I'm looking forward to many more years.

I've been asked...

how did we do it?

We've had bad times, but we chose to hang in there and weather the storm.

We've had good times and chose to celebrate.

We have 4 great kids and 8 wonderful grandchildren and...

maybe we'll have more of the latter.

God has been with us and been a part of us, even when we ignored or embarrassed him.

I am thankful for our life and...

the opportunity to write and speak His mind, when...

God whispers
