In this episode, I am diving deep into the powerful passages of Isaiah 40:25-31 and Isaiah 41. We explore God’s challenge to His people: “Who holds a candle to me?” The Creator, who brings forth the stars each night, never grows tired or overlooks His creation. Isaiah reminds us that God is everlasting, giving strength to the weary and empowering those who seek Him.

I am unpacking the idea of “the hand of the Lord,” a recurring theme throughout Isaiah, symbolizing God’s direct involvement in history. From judgment to deliverance, creation to restoration, God’s hand represents His sovereignty and power. Key themes include:

1. Judgment and Sovereignty – God orchestrates events and holds ultimate authority over nations.

2. Deliverance and Redemption – His hand is never too short to save those who turn to Him.

3. Creation and Providence – God’s hand crafted all that exists, affirming His control over the universe.

4. Acknowledgment of God’s Work – We’re invited to recognize that life’s events, big or small, are shaped by His divine plan.

This episode calls us to place our trust in God’s capable hands, confident that He’s working in our lives through both blessings and challenges. Join us for a deep reflection on Isaiah’s timeless message of hope and strength.

Title: “From Atheist to Believer: A Near-Death Encounter with Jesus”

In this powerful and moving episode of One Voice Makes a Difference, Janet welcomes 22-year-old Peyton Brown, whose life took a miraculous turn after a near-death experience that shook her atheistic beliefs to the core.

Raised in a Catholic family but far removed from faith, Peyton had embraced atheism, rejecting any notion of God—until a terrifying health crisis forced her to confront the truth of Jesus Christ.

One evening, under a starry sky, Peyton experienced a sudden seizure that led to a medical emergency. A fatal mistake in treatment caused her heart to stop, leaving her clinically dead. In those surreal moments, Peyton found herself watching her own body from the outside, witnessing her parents' heartbreak, and standing face-to-face with Jesus Himself.

Through vivid and heartfelt detail, Peyton describes the overwhelming love and compassion in Jesus' eyes and the profound peace she felt in His presence.

This extraordinary encounter brought her back to life, not just physically but spiritually, as she realized the power and truth of a God she had once denied.

Now, Peyton is on a mission to expose the dark spiritual forces that plagued her for years, and she’s writing a book, EXPOSED, to share her story and offer TRUTH to others battling doubt, identity crises, and unseen spiritual struggles.

Join us for this awe-inspiring conversation as Peyton shares her journey from skeptic to believer, a transformation that will challenge your own understanding of faith, purpose, and the lengths God will go to reach His children. Prepare to be moved, inspired, and filled with hope and wonder as you listen to this incredible testimony of life, death, and act of God.
