WilliamEveryman.com - Whispers From God

Welcome to “ Whispers from God “ as compiled by William Everyman

This selection is titled “ Whispers from God “ as they represent thoughts that have literally jumped into the mind of William Everyman from time to time. These are not thoughts that are the result of considered research or proactive effort to publish the author’s pet ideas or philosophies.

If you have never experienced a moment of epiphany of the mind you may not understand that the manifestation of the Magi can occur without warning. Often it is simply a matter of getting a pencil fast enough to get the thought down before the surrounding environment drowns out the Whisper .

At any rate I truly believe that these quotations were from God’s mouth to my ear and not always when I was in a “ searching for truth “ mode.

I know this is a big pill to swallow – but there it is !

Agree or disagree that is your prerogative – if I can just get you to read them that will be the only victory I seek .

God bless

William Everyman

  • New years resolutions - The glass house of good intentions is helpless before the rockslide of self interest 
  • The myth of self reliance is as a vapor before God's oven door, before which we stand, hat in hand, for our daily bread   

  • The owl at sea, the pelican in the desert, both are miserable -  

  • The beginning of greatness is certainty of purpose -     

  • Time corrupts all things except the truth

  • Welfare Christians living in Evangelical ghettos
  • Magic Christians manufactured in the cookie cutter church of Christianity -

  • Intellectual claptrap, idiomatic jargon and a parallel Gospel inhabit the modern day pulpit and the congregation is solely responsible 
  • Today's spark of genius is tomorrow's invention of convenience 

  • Love is like a light left burning in the night - just waiting for someone to move into its soft glow of generosity

  • We have an inexhaustible gift for justification and a low tolerance for sanctification 
  • Justice and mercy are uneasy bedfellows 

  • The mouth of knowledge is ever subject to the bit of discretion 

  • See there a man who prays for others without chance for reward, he is as a sequoia among the pines  
  • The reward for stewardship is more stewardship - stewardship without joy is a life sentence without chance of parole 

  • To see God you must first look toward him - to look toward him you must seek him where he is most likely to be found   
  • There is no higher aspiration that a man may have than this - to love God - nay - to be in love with God   

  • A man may not be proud and still fear God 

  • Here is a conundrum - shame follows closely upon the heels of pride - therefore doubling the cost of haughtiness   
  • Before the fountains, before the fields and valleys, before the compass was put in the Heavens and the foundation of the Earth was laid, before all this - I heard him call my name, and in the dim recess of a'-priori existence his voice glides through the labyrinth of time 
  • Satan is at his very best when disguised as an angel of light 
  • America I loved thee, not for thy hills
    America I loved thee, not for thy rivers
    America I loved thee , not for thy forest
    America I did love thee for thy people 

  • There shall be a time, a silent time , just before dawn when everywhere in mute anticipation of what is to come - the whole world waits quietly in great expectation  - frozen in time and space - in suspended animation - then shall come Christ clothed in Glory with ten thousand of his saints riding in chariots of fire to sweep me away  

  • Sin is an enticement that swallows a man up whole, piece by piece - bit by bit - in an agony of indecision      

  • There is a sameness about mankind - a kind of crying, craving, needing thing that canot be satisfied until God doth appear 

  • Children of the obsessed , they were the orphans of time       

  • Each act a flash of living plasma - it etches out of time , a portrait of its author by edict that's devine  

  • The heart knows right and wrong, the mind recognizes understanding, the soul responds to whomsoever we have yielded our heart and mind 

  • An evil man does not sleep well until he has done some mischief, nor a righteous man until he has shown mercy 

  • My time is short - nearly gone - twilight rests  on tomorrows dawn. In the Kaliedascope of life I see - I wonder if I have I been what I wanted to be 

  • Now is my soul sorrowful, for I have seen my heart through the hole in the wall - that it is full of vain imaginations and is desperately wicked above all things. And I am ashamed, my soul sorrowful and my heart failing me for  fear of his ( Christ's ) righteousness and the judgement to come  

  • Do not think that something is true just because you believe it with all of your heart – truth is the only noun that does not require an adjective to define it more clearly – indeed when we try to enhance truth we detract from its fullness

  • The devil is not always cast out simply by facing him squarely , head on. But he is never cast out by running away

  • God does not enter just because you ask – first you must believe he exist

  • You can forgive my hurt, but you cannot forget it and your future opinion of me is forever changed. Only God can forgive and also forget

  • Today we see him as he was born. The world would like to keep him in the manger. But God has ordained that he be our judge. You would do well to kneel before him both times.

  • The long arduous climb out of poverty starts with one simple decision – do I eat the seed corn or do I plant it

  • I have searched for truth all my life and I can sum it up in ten words. " Jesus Christ and him crucified " ." Jesus Christ he is risen"
  • When I seek God I must look where he is most likely to be found - deep within my own heart - the journey of a small distance that takes a lifetime of travel
