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 -

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 -
Choosing Freedom over Slavery is a follow-up to: Afraid of the Unknown. Am I a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness? We ultimately will serve one master, God or the god of this world, Satan. This has been a common theme of teaching in multiple studies over the past few weeks – Choosing Bondage or Choosing Freedom in Christ. Choose wisely student of life!

During my journey with the Lord, I have witnessed believers guide me and other members of the Body to take a blind step of faith in situations where God’s will is unknown. This is what I call a blind faith. I would like to give my own guidance on this topic because I see a great error in the use of the statement “Step of Faith.” Please, I covet additional insight on this topic as well -

Yes, indeed it has been a while since my last post. I was waiting on the Lord for my next witnessing to His blessedness. All in His perfect timing.
Praise God for answered prayers. Here is a testimony from the Lord (and a great lesson) – Faith, Obedience, and Blessings. I pray this blesses you.

The Lord God revealed to me that I am afraid of the unknown in-Christ. God, help me in my unbelief. I have had a few dreams that I didn’t understand, but now when I look at them globally, it seems that I am afraid of the path less traveled, the unknown, death to self, complete surrender, etc. If you have wisdom in interpreting dreams, I really could use some help from the Body (especially prayers). I’ll explain each one and what my understanding is. If the Spirit guides you to a different understanding, please, by all means, please jump in or shoot me an email from the contact me form. Lord, help me by sending me an angel.

Praise God, another one chalked up for the good Guy! Way to go God! Prayer works in His perfect timing. God is good, good, good, amen. Here’s a testimony of someone coming to Christ. Praise the Lord all ye saints of God.
A dear friend that I worked with for around 10 yrs called me tonight. I haven’t talked to this person since our working relationship ended 2yrs ago. “Guess what Joey, I just got baptized.” Hallelujah! Wow, truly amazing God! Praise the Lord!
