Whispered To!: Volume 1

By Gary Vochatzer

WHISPERED TO VOL I

This is a sample of a massive amount of work God has poured into me these past ten years. This work is some of the very first poems written through hearing that ever so slight whisper of God.

Gary Vochatzer:

I am about as average as you can get. At age twenty-six I became a born-again Christian at a Billy Graham movie. I was an all out Bible thumper and active church member until age forty. I took a ten-year hiatus! At God's whisper I came back into the family but put the thumping down! active church membership cooled within me and God began ever so slowly my writing poetry that to this day I have no idea where it came from except God! Then stories. It got to a point I had a storehouse full of this work and nowhere to put it. I took a year off (1999-2000), then in 2001 felt God call to say "put it in a book." Now here I am thirty-five years after being born again and still attempting to find out my purpose in belonging to the human race. Maybe this book and many more to come will finally tell me.

I have been blessed since 1990 with the whisper of God at all hours of any day - be it from the time early in the wee hours - the afternoon during a workday - driving along a roadway and having to pull over - God has chosen the time to write, I hear and stop whatever it is I am doing and write - God chooses the topic - I do the penmanship - I never know when He will whisper, I am simply a tool for Him to use for His purpose!

There is a long story that goes with this, but perhaps in a later book I can go into this fabulous, wonderful, exciting experience with the Creator of all there is- was - and will be. Read what God says for there is a massive dining room set with volumes of this material ready to be served at each sitting - so come and enjoy the banquet served by God and his servant!

Enjoy what God has given so readily. Free for all of us!

IF

If reincarnationists are right and we return to this earthly planet, I wonder if I have a choice of what I want to be

And if so, I am not sure I want to again be me!

If I am reincarnated to again be me, would

I look the same as I do now

Or would I grown more and have a higher brow?

If I came back would I be as tall or shorter – white or black

yellow or red – male or female-skinny or fat

Would my name be the same or would it be

John-Mary-Linda-Daisy or Jack

How would I know that I am back, is there a sign by which you can tell Or perhaps the way I smell

How do I know I came back in human form- some say-I could come back to a dog

a cat-a fish-a hamster-a deer-a bull-a cow-or things like that

And would I know me if I was beautiful-ugly-skinny or fat

These reincarnationist say that everyone is reincarnated whether they like it or not

Others like to believe when they are dead, they are put in the ground and the body just rots!

I am not sure I like this idea of me coming back and I am sure many will agree

Unless they knew they would come back as just an old fig tree!

Well enough of this reincarnation stuff – I don’t believe in it any way

So I think I will leave my old body up to God, it’s with Him I

want to stay!

REMIND ME LORD

Lord as I awake in the morning and see that the sun has risen once again-today it

reminds me that You are always there

And when the day is through and I watch the sun go down-I

know I have made it

through only because of prayer!

Lord today as I walk through it, teach me to live in a manner worthy of your call

And whatever it takes, don’t let Satan grab a hold of me and let me fall

Lord remind me always that You have an angel right next to my side

They are there to protect me and to see that I don’t fall into

Satan’s hands and slide

Lord remind me each day that I am to love my neighbor as myself, which is a

commandment from You

And please keep Satan far away so I don’t wind up doing what he

wants me to do!

And Lord remind me that I am to love You with all my mind, heart, and soul-which

is your first commandment to all those who follow You And please stay with me every moment of everyday and my prayers will be strictly

between us two!

Please Lord, today teach me not to envy, not to be jealous, not to grow mad, to hold

my tongue, to have pure thoughts and just to be what You called me to be

And please open my eyes that I may see all the wonder of this world that You made

just for me

Lord I am amazed at my life and all the blessings You have heaped upon me

I think about those blessings-my heart absolutely jumps in thankful glee

I praise You even for those tough times when I thought for sure I

would not have

made it through

But sure enough, You were right there by my side, watching me

day by day and kept

Reminding me of only You!

LIFE

What is life-A question that all humans ask as they roam this planet called Earth

So let’s start this out and let’s start from the human birth

No human being ever knew from where he/she came from-a sperm, a cell-join

together to form a life

Unlike man, the women spend nine months in strife!

Now tell me, how did this all start-I am still at a loss

Could it be such a miracle that some could say it came from God

so He must be the

Boss!

Is it a mystery to you as it is to me

How cells in a body can meet up and make other humans, one-

twins-or even

three!

I am at a loss to how they stay alive in that little tiny place

And when it’s twins, it’s face to face!

How do they grow-how do they eat-how do they think-how do they go potty

and all that stuff

Sounds to me like a place that’s definitely rough!

When they get an itch, how do they scratch-when they have to sneeze do they just

do it- how does their hair grow without tickling Mom

Or does mom not even notice it and walks along through life just

humming a song.

I am at a loss to how this whole thing got started-please, at my age, you would

think I would know

But I swear to you I am in still in amazement that only God is

the Master of this

show!

Oh, those nine months must really be tough-but we will never know how tough it

must be

Because kids who come out of mom can’t talk or even see!

Isn’t it strange to spend nine months growing from a cell to weighing 6-7-10-12

pounds of human being

And not being able to remember a single scene!

I wonder as
