My word declares itself to be living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword. Do you perceive it this way? Does it leap off the page and come alive to you? It is an accurate account of events that have taken place, and also of events that are to come, yet it is presented to you as text on paper. I give you permission to do whatever it takes to make it more vivid to you. Do you hold the Bible in reverence and tremble at my word? If so I invite you to use your sanctified imagination to place yourself in the role of Bible characters and situations that you may live them yourself. Better yet, entreat me to do this for you and I will speak to you through my word.

There is a lot of conflicting information out there about what we should and should not be eating.  I have come to a place in my life after a bit of guilt, stress, frustration, and confusion, where I have decided to just eat real food prepared at home that nourishes me and my family.  Click here to find out about a FREE online conference about Real Food!  How exciting!  = )

Do you think I speak often, or seldom? Which would you expect from my own descriptions of myself? In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in the darkness… And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. These things are as true of me now as when they were written. How shall the living Word not speak? Listen and you will hear me. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Do you minister life to people in my name? Are you surprised and disappointed if they do not seem grateful for this? Get over it. You are not working for wages in my Kingdom. The heaven is high above the earth and the economic models are different. In the Kingdom you are to give freely because you have received freely. What do you have to give that you did not first receive? Do not measure your life by what you accumulate, but by what you scatter abroad. Trust me to watch over it and derive value from it. Your Father who sees your secret sacrifice and selfless giving will reward you openly. 

Some people are restless and impulsive. The other end of the spectrum is timid and lethargic. Most people fall somewhere in between. The first type charges ahead, and their failures can be dramatic and visible, but their successes can be too. What about the failures of the second type? There is no evidence of risks not taken, ventures not attempted, opportunities refused. You can only imagine what could have been. If you are moving ahead I can intervene to correct you and alter your course. If you are stationary how will I motivate you to get moving? My word is a testimony to action: seek, ask, and knock; and you have the promise that you will find. 

Do you perform better while you are being observed? Most people have a keen sense of whether anyone is watching, and who is paying attention to them. Do you have this same awareness in a spiritual sense? For I promised to be with you always. Do you find this to be a great comfort, or does it make you uneasy to know that I see everything you do? If you want to live and walk in the spirit, take an eternal perspective of everything you do. Run the race that is set before you knowing that you are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. Run in such a way that they will cheer you on. 

6-28-12 4pm Blessed Holy Lord Jesus, we continue to experience record settings events in various areas. The most obvious at this moment in time is the early season record setting temperatures across most of the country. Extreme winds and flooding are happening. The high temperatures and the drought conditions are producing catastrophic fires, especially the one near Colorado Springs, Colorado.    How does all of this fit into the scenario of the end of the end time events?

I spoke to a Roman officer who understood authority because he was under authority. Are you under authority? In an ultimate sense you are under my authority but there are people with spiritual authority in your life as well. For most of my people there is a defined structure of clergy or parents who watch for your soul. If this does not apply to you then you would be wise to seek it on your own. Ask me to provide people you know who know you, whose walk of faith and integrity you admire, whose counsel you are willing to seek and submit to. If you understand the value of this you will seek it rather than waiting for it to be imposed on you.
