It is my belief that we Christians depend too much on what an individual pastor or an individual prophet or another anointed person thinks that he (or she) is hearing from the Lord, rather than trying to hear for ourselves or listening to many different voices from all over the Body of Christ. Dependence on just an anointed few is a guaranteed recipe for failure.

So, each day, I invite you to write what you believe the Lord is telling you, showing you, or doing for you. Testimonies. Short teachings. Prophetic words. Scriptures. Prayers. Whatever you believe that the Body of Christ needs to know or will be blessed by hearing. Try to keep your words under 250 words. And if you need to, attach a link to your site for longer messages.

This morning, it is to spend time listening to my 11 year old granddaughter tell me anything she wants for as long as she wants. Does it interrupt my study of Colossians? Yes. Do I want to work on my next blog for the twelve readers who stumble by? Of course. But right now, in front of me (well, she’s out with grandma now), is a little lady I would instantly sacrifice my life for. Nothing is more important than that at this moment. I do not realize how truly blessed I am.

I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to spy out the land, and I brought word to him as it was in my heart. Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt, but I wholly followed the Lord my God. (Joshua 14:7-8)

Caleb is one of my favorite characters in the Bible. Along with Joshua, he was half of the remnant left over from the Israelites (over 20 years of age) who followed Moses out of Egypt.

Why was he preserved while the others perished in the wilderness? He wholeheartedly followed the Lord.

To finally receive his promise from the Lord, he had to wait forty-five years. 45 years! Then guess what? He had to go and fight the Canaanites that were entrenched on his Promised Land. And he succeeded.

Not bad for an old geezer, right? There’s hope for me.
