LaWanda - I see you, Lord Jesus, standing behind me with your hands on my shoulders.  I can feel in the warmth of your hands, your love flowing into me.  O Lord, I could sit here forever, but that is not your plan.  Your plan is to fill me up and send me out so that the love you pour into me can be poured out and into those around me.  O Lord, how I need to sit before you every day so that my tank is full.  Thank you, Jesus, that there is a never-ending supply of your love.  Help me to listen well today as Holy Spirit guides me.

The Western culture teaches us to live in the logic of our minds. However, here are ten pictures God uses in the Bible to tell us to live from the flow of the Holy Spirit within our hearts. Let's own the revelation of FLOW and live drinking from God's Fountain of Living Waters.

Bev asks: The Lord speaks to me mostly via dreams and images.  I have heard His voice in my inner ear, but that is seldom.  I too, am left-brained and I struggle with every little bit achieved.  It takes me forever to recognize that the fleeting image I've seen is His voice.   I feel awkward and foolish speaking in tongues - it does not seem to flow naturally, and I constantly doubt and question. How do I overcome doubt? How do I get past the questioning to relax and enjoy the presence of the Lord?   How do I get past the constant feeling of foolishness whenever I share what I've seen or heard?

I’ll try to preface this briefly for context.

Prophetic word through a Bible meditation, sent to me from Ian Wilkinson.

           For many Christian professionals and businesspeople, the prospect of practicing our faith in the marketplace is overwhelming.  It’s easy to remain paralyzed in the face of so many things calling for our time and attention.  In the face of an overwhelming number of choices, most marketplace Christians default to what’s comfortable and familiar, which is to focus on worldly success in business and give up on having an impact for the Kingdom.

Question sent with a request I blog out an answer: I would love to know more about content along the lines of gender (husband, wife) - I am specifically referring to the roles, freedoms, limitations and relationship structures that exist for males and females in the home.  The Western Church culture seems to have a view on gender set in stone that seems to be more along the lines of unredeemed humanity, past cultural context and hierarchical structure above Spirit-led relationships. I would love to know about a kingdom view rather than a church or religious view. Thank you so much! I’m looking forward to learning more about the topic.

When I wrote my book “Go Natural” we were on the Genesis diet which is a high-carb diet. Today in America, breads have lots of chemicals in them that are outlawed in Europe. In addition, the gluten in U.S. bread is much higher than God designed. Excessive gluten and chemicals are damaging to the walls of our intestines, causing leaky gut syndrome, which is the precipitator of many health problems. Click here for a summary of gluten sensitivity and a simple experiment you can do to see if gluten is damaging your health.

The journaling below is provided by Ian Wilkinson a CLU doctoral student. It encourages us all into victorious spiritual warfare through revelation-based declarations. This is one of the best things we can be doing right now! Let’s all join in.
