God's Still, Small VOICE

Hi My Friends-

Here I am.  It has been almost two years since I have blogged on this particular blog.  God seems to be moving me in directions that I never would have imagined.  I have left the blogging world- but I have not left my Jesus' side.  I am still very much saved, sanctified and filled with his precious Holy Spirit.  I came to blog on this particular blog today because it seems as though I blog in "seasons." It is usually fall or winter when I blog.  Also-  my other blog is a marriage/daily life blog.  This one is a devotional blog, dedicated completely, wholeheartedly and 100% to my Lord.  There are no fillers here.

God is still very much real in my life.  It seems like He comes down from Heaven just for me. Just for me.  This past week I was in the grocery store and I had a strong urge (unction) to offer to help pay for a customer's groceries in front of me in line at Wal-Mart.   It appeared as though they were EBT cardholders.  Their card had just been declined and I saw them fumbling with their wallets to find another payment to use. I glanced over at the wall and saw the words "every second counts."  I knew this was the Lord speaking to me and letting me know that every moment that I have is precious and matters--it counts toward heaven. Amen.  I did not offer to pay for that couples' groceries, admittedly (LORD have mercy on me).

BUT GOD-

A few days later- I received an unexpected check in the mail and I praised the Lord for it because it was a blessing that I had no knowledge of.  After getting this check, I still had a very strong urge to "GIVE."  The next day I told family and friends (on Facebook) of God's blessing toward me and praised His holy name.  I said that I felt like BLESSING somebody, and the first person to send me their mailing address would get a twenty dollar check from me.  God showed up once again and a few hours later, someone wrote on my status:

"Thank you for that unexpected check anointing Whitney. Lol I read your status and said I need one of those. An hour later my neighbor calls me and tells me to check my mail. And there was my unexpected check! Thank you Jesus!"

This testimony was not only for the woman who wrote me to tell of it- but for OTHERS to see the faithfulness, fullness and richness of the Lord.  Somebody saw her testimony and was BLESSED. Blessed in their spirit and blessed in their soul- and two were blessed in their natural life, receiving checks of their own (the one I presented and the one I received a testimony concerning).  I thank God because someone's faith has been increased, somebody's praise has been made just a bit greater, somebody saw the goodness of the Lord.  Hallelujah!!

I love you, brothers and sisters.  Stay faithful, always abounding in the work of our Lord (I Corinthians 15:58).  Never forget that still, small voice- the Holy Spirit who still wants to work in you and through you.

(Blessed to be a Blessing),
Whitney

Test Out your Faith!

True story.
This was good to me.

It's called, "Test Out your Faith!" That's what I'm standing on.

OK,

So today was a really busy day for us, being a holiday and all. Family was bustling about, chatter, gladness and excitement. I was glad that we had a day where we could all just hang out and be around each other. I love those days. A lot.

Today was a particularly difficult day for me, being that my stomach began aching throughout the day. I know why and I'm sure most women know why; and I will not bore you with the details. I made an attempt to be usual about the day, interacting and just being present.

Most times I can get into "my own world," where it's just me and Jesus. Music, fellowship, a time of adoration. So, this day I really wanted to make an effort to be "present." Try to, at least.

My stomach was warring against me [ooooo, dramatic, I know]. But, enjoy this! I'm a writer! lol :} So yeah my stomach was warring against me and it's so bad for me on the first day. Awful, man.

I was in and out of spending time with my family; up and down the stairs.

Then finally of about four hours, I went upstairs to bed [it's still daylight, remind you! and, family is HERE!] to sleep it off. Sleeping it off works for me. Because, my mind is at rest and I am unable to focus on my aches and pains.

Was resting for a few minutes and then the Holy Spirit comforted me with "Ask and it shall be given unto you." ...I was like, HEY, WHY NOT :} [PRAISE GOD!] \o/

So I place my hand on my belly while still lying down; fetal position, hello!

And asked the Lord to take the pain away in Jesus' name so that I could enjoy my family. It was not a lengthy prayer, but it wasn't a two-second one either. Amen so I got up, believed it within me; said "And it is so" within me. And, went downstairs fairly immediately.

The pain subsided. I was able to even get down with my sisters and play some hardcore WII! lol. The aches did not come back. [AMEN!]

SO I SAY UNTO YOU,
TEST OUT YOUR FAITH!

When you test out your faith, YOU are not testing God! You are not. No man can. Try your FAITH, not your GOD. Check your FAITH, not your God.

Amen?!
Amen.

Grow in grace, dear friends. Grow in grace.

THANK YOU GOD, WE HAVE COME A LONG WAY! TEACH ME DEAR GOD AND HELP ME TO STAND--STAND ON YOUR WORD! TO PUT IT INTO ACTION! YOUR WORDS CANNOT COME BACK TO YOU VOID, AMEN. TRIED AND TRUE. YES!

God's best,
Whit ♥♥
