A Christ Follower: The Journey

“A Problem Free Life?”       If any of you have followed my Facebook posts, you will know that I keep sharing about all the miracles Vicki and I have had happen, and still do  have happen, in our lives. It occured to me that some may think we have a problem free life.  Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. Each miracle, that I shared with you all, occurs when we might be having a crisis occurring in our lives; otherwise, why would we need a miracle? I don’t know about you, but experiencing a crisis is really NOT a lot of fun. Blinded By A Rock For example, when I was blinded by a rock, coming out from my lawn mower, We were told by the Opthamologist, at the Eye Foundation, to be grateful I have one good eye. Take a moment to think about how you would feel if you lost your eyesight, in one of your eyes, and you were told this. Consider the pain felt in that eye continually reminding me. Consider, not being able to see, continually remindi...

If you have been blinded, and God gave you back sight, you are a walking miracle. If your wife and you were told you could not have children, but in answer to prayer, He gave you 3 children and 6 grandchildren, you are a walking miracle. If you left this life, for a while and came back again, you are a walking miracle. This miracle leaves you craving Heaven,, makes you a walking miracle. If you busted your back up, and were even partially paralyzed, and can function in athletic ways, you are a walking miracle. Of course I cooperated with God via diet and exercise. If your life expectancy was set at 5 years, long before being 70, but have lived 22 years, you are a walking miracle. If you are told you are only guaranteed to only have today, due to medical conditions, and you live each day living life completely full, you are a walking miracle. If God even gets me to 70, I will receive that gift as getting to continue as a walking miracle  Miracles, for me, don't requir...

I Have Come To Testify! There is something I have come to believe: I am a walking miracle. I am a walking miracle means, given what my Doctors say, I should not be here, but I should be on the other side. The bigger miracle is, when I think about moving on, a deep peace takes me over. Knowing Jesus does this to me! So, why not live life to the fullest while residing here? I guess that's why some people, whose words clearly demonstrate a fear of dying, like to remind me I need to "take the virus more seriously." I take it VERY seriously. And I follow all healthy protocols. But I want all y'all to know the Eternal Life Joy that can be experienced. Christ Follower, don't let what is happening around us fill you with fear. Turn all the bad news into a purpose filled habit of continual prayer, in Jesus Name. God's interaction with you will bless your socks off! SoJourner

Complicating Prayer Sometimes we make praying more complicated than it needs to be; for example, when "Blind Bartimaeus" heard Jesus was coming by, he saw a golden opportunity to receive his eyesight. He kept it all simple, as in "Keep It Simple Saint." He simply cried out to Jesus until he got Jesus attention. Then Jesus asked him a very important question: "What do you want me to do for you?"  Bart very plainly said, "I want to see."  Guess what? In a very short while he did just that. He received his sight. When you don't know what to pray, sometimes, effective praying simply means you need to decide to tell the Lord what you want.  You don't have to wax poetic. Your words don't have to be regal, royal or sound as if you are more righteous than are others.  Why? Because God simply wants to hear from you, as His Christ Follower child, what you want.  Keep your praying simple saint, and be sincere. Pray by faith expecti...

Hi Y'all, Here is a prayerful spiritual practice that God uses to transform me each day. Try it. I think you will like the results. God Bless You SoJourner ======================================================= Precious Holy Vine I am but a branch in your vineyard, and I am utterly, completely, unequivocally and without question dependent upon YOU: Apart from YOU I can do NO-thing. Yet I have learned I can do ALL things (and make it through all things) through YOU, O Lord, who gives me strength. In YOUR Holy Name I Pray, Jesus. AMEN!

It Really Is Unique   Hey Y'all, Given this is a Christ Follower Web Blog, which is written for Christ Followers world wide, I thought it was about time to say a little something about the most unusual book written anywhere, any place or any time: You guessed it! I am talking about our Holy Book,  the Bible or The Very Word of God. It really is a unique book.  As a matter of fact, I would say there is no book anywhere that comes close to it; for example, it was written by over 40 different authors. Since its earliest beginnings, the authors lived on three different continents. And it is reported to  cover 1,500 years ... maybe more. Those who put it together firmly believed what the Bible says about itself -- that is, it is THE message of God Almighty, the Creator and sustainer of the Universe, to the people God created. God wanted to -- and God still wants to -- speak to the human race on Planet Earth. The Best of All Best Sellers The Bible is on t...

Amazing Accusations              In the First Century, around AD 50, the Apostle Paul did some amazing things. One of those things, of which he was accused, was that he and his band of brothers and sisters " turned the world upside down " (Acts 17:6-7 ESV) as the seeds of the gospel they shared spread a bumper crop harvest of souls,  throughout the then known world. As a matter of fact, they were reported to have preached the gospel "to every creature under heaven." (Colossians 1:23b.) If you consider they started with only a crowd of about 120 people, doing this had to be a supernatural "God Thing." And Paul was not even at the original prayer meeting.                                                       The Miracle Of Reporting Our Day Even more amazing is how accurately the Apostle Paul reported what would ...
