Sow and Reap - Bible Testimony
The Word of God is alive and well. The Living Word. Praise God. Today, a sister in-Christ and I were finalizing plans on shipping her a case of adult bibles for her church. As I gathered the case of bibles to weigh them, I had a fiery dart hit up against the Helmet of Salvation *tink* – “Are you sure? You’re almost out of bibles.” Haha, stand behind me selfish Satan. Yes, I am sure. Yehovah Yireh is MY GOD and I am HIS. Blessed be the Lord -

I received a prayer request this evening from a follower of Jesus and a reader of this blog. I’d like to share with the Body of Christ so that we may all stand in the gap. I covet your prayers for this individual. Lord, turn your ear towards us. Lord, hear our prayers. In Jesus I pray, Amen. Here is the request:

Just because someone does not believe in the reality of God, it does not make Him all of a sudden non-existent. God is real regardless if someone believes or not.
The reality we believe in is the one we partake in. The one we partake in is the one we obey. We should examine and see which reality is our master.
As I was writing this, the movie Matrix came to mind. The video below pretty much sums it up, as well as this verse –
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward man is consumed, yet the inward is renewed day by day. For our momentary [and] light affliction works for us in surpassing measure an eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen [are] for a time, but those that are not seen eternal.

Walking with God – Leaving the world behind
Not too long ago, I blogged about how these revelations come in waves from the Lord. I’m beginning to see that such teachings, grace, revelations, testimonies, etc. never stop flowing from His end. They only stop because of things from our end. As it is written,
James 4:6-8 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Here is a quick witnessing to Him flooding this topic to me, Walking with God. It’s been a constant flood of teachings, direction, guidance, etc. for a around a week now. Thank you Helper -

Blessed be the Sword of the Spirit. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Jesus is the Word.
For anyone following what the Lord has been teaching me lately, you’ll see the Sword of the Spirit at work here. Thank you Lord God. Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Walking with the Lord – After praying and seeking out the Lord, here is a follow-up to a recent post – Choosing Freedom over Slavery. I covet your prayers, encouragement and any insight.
Over the past day or so, I have received guidance related to walking with the Lord. The Lord is showing me that I’m not always walking with Him. I’m hearing (He’s always speaking), but I’m not always doing. Lord: “Pick up your mat and walk” – No walking. Lord: “Go wash your eyes in the pool and see” – No walking. Lord: “Go show your healing of leprosy to the priest” – No walking. “Don’t go there” – I keep walking. Choosing to hear the Lord but no action. Thank you Helper for teaching me. Here’s a few related verses -
