Lord, You have said You watch over Your word to perform it.

• The LORD said … I am watching over My word to perform it (Jer. 1:12).
• For I the LORD will speak, and whatever word I speak will be performed (Ezek. 12:25).
• Like apples of gold in settings of silver Is a word spoken in right circumstances (Prov. 25:11).

The underlined word in each of the above verses is dabar (Strongs # H1697). The definition, according to Brown, Driver, Briggs is: speech, word, speaking.

"I have been “sick” for about 30 years (I turn 50 this year). At age 16 I had my first hip surgery and since then many other difficulties. I developed fibromyalgia and that got worse over the past few years. In December 2015 I was bitten by a spider and got a myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) and several viruses caused Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

In this study published by the European Journal of Social Psychology, group members chose one of three behaviors which they personally desired to create new habits around:1) drinking, 2) eating and 3) exercising.

I met Charles Cooper at a weekend seminar on hearing God's voice a couple of months ago at Calvary Assembly. Charles is an anointed leader, who is just beginning two-way journaling. Charles teaches the Berean School of the Bible courses from Global University in Springfield, Mo. available through the Assemblies of God. Charles is on Calvary Assembly's Mission Board. For 11 years Charles has also been on the Mission Board of Colombia Childcare International, Inc., with the missionary, David Taylor. He does the administrative work for getting sponsorships for the children (almost 2,000 at present) in Santa Marta, Colombia. Charles has a heart passion to experience all God has for him!

It was a couple of years ago when I first remember hearing about leaky gut. However that wasn’t the phrase they used. Instead I was told, “Eating gluten tears holes in your gut.” Well, that was sure hard and revolting for me to picture. A hole in my gut, and sewage passing back into my body? This just struck me as “really out there” so I set the idea aside.

After hearing Mark Virkler teach on the flow of the Holy Spirit and the flow of demonic spirits, I discerned that I was under attack of demons of lust, sensuality and a demon of pain which was causing my headaches.

We know God speaks to us as a still small voice within, as flowing, spontaneous thoughts which light upon our minds. However, the Bible also teaches that God’s voice comes through miraculous events which He orchestrates. Exodus 4:8 is one such example. 

I am a Korean by blood but was born and grew up in Soviet Russia. So Russian is my native language. Now I am a citizen of South Korea but not perfect in speaking Korean. I was born again with the help of a Bible in English and information on Christianity which I found on the Internet in English. Below is my first two-way journaling with Jesus, as I went on my first date with Him.

Destiny Image has agreed to publish a new book with me, titled How to Be Filled With the Holy Spirit.  It will be a practical book on how to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, and how to release the nine manifestation of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:7-10).

Is there anything better than the standard devotional time we have all been taught?

Let's agree to define the standard devotional time as a quiet time which includes Bible reading, prayer, worship and intercession. It may include a prayer list and a Bible reading plan. I certainly have nothing against this as it has benefitted many people. I have NOT had such a devotional approach for at least the last 35 years, if not longer. I do something different.
