Did You Think I Stopped Reading Books? Absolutely Not. Just Finished 2 Books. Let Me Share The Experience I Had While Reading "The Lifestyle Of A Prphet" By James W. Goll.

I have been a bit busier than usual or should I say compared to the winter months. I still do read though. I was reading 2 different books simultaneously. The one book by Ed Rocha I tended to read when in the exercise room. Since it is summer here I have been walking more outside as opposed to using the exercise room so that is why it took a bit longer to read. I recommend both books for you to get and read. "Angels God's Supernatural Agents" by Ed Rocha. It also states on the book cover "biblical insights and true stories of angelic encounters." This book makes me almost want to go to Brazil to step into the river flowing, the movement of God. You should read this for it will inspire you and cause your regular thinking in this arena to be elevated.
So, when I started to read "The Lifestyle Of  A Prophet" by James W. Goll something interesting about reading this particular book. I would also read this in the exercise room, and on breaks at work too along with some reading at home. Holy Spirit nudged me to read this particular book from the last chapter and then move forward in this particular book I just finished reading. It was quite interesting reading a book in this fashion. Thank God I was not at work on a break or in the exercise room but I was at home when I read chapter 2, "The Intimate Breath of God." I cried during the entire chapter while reading it. The anointing was very strong for me while reading this very chapter. The words of the 2 songs shared in this chapter struck a tender chord in my heart. Get this book for this man writes with the heart of God pulsing through him and what comes forth is just simply beautiful and most profound. Now, maybe it could be that I also have a heart of a prophet and it has been prophesied over my life that not only do I flow in the prophetic but I also step into the office of a prophet at times too. I do not say this as a bragging type of statement for I take this most serious. I do not particularly like to step in when things are out of alignment in church but Holy spirit places it upon my heart to pray about it and if things do not change then the words come forth through this open and empty vessel. I cannot make this up or conjure it up for this is an aching that comes in my heart with words attached. I do not care if even 1 person acknowledges me stepping into this role as Holy Spirit places it upon my heart for I answer to God and to God alone not man or woman per say. See, if you really know me you know that I am a champion for the "underdogs" in this world. I tend to cheer them onto righteousness and to making the wrong become undone. Sometimes you are called to speak forth words of correction and defense of what is right. Then there are times when you connect with a person or people and they are the one's to break forth and do the same. When you are in that type of a situation you can only share to encourage them to step forth. You can offer your assistance to them but it really is their final choice if they choose to put a foot down and not take the abuse anymore or not. You can only step forth in the anointing and words of encouragement given for that very person.You cannot cross the line and take over in this situation for it is not your story/testimony it is theirs if they choose to accept the challenge and then see the outcome changed by their  testimony. Then choosing to step out in faith with a holy boldness combination.
I tend to be wired like this, " I will just do it and it will get done." No, no, no you have to step back in your natural personality and tendencies to let them step forward in theirs. You coach and cheer them on while they find the right comfort level and plan of action to make it a really great testimony that brings great glory to God. Do you get it? If you are a mom or dad in the natural you should get this concept. There are times when we show our children the different options to a situation but ultimately it is their choice on what they pick as their outcome. Sometimes it is not so good and it has to be corrected but the big majority of the time the outcome is fabulous. You are the cheerleader or coach in their lives but we cannot always be the fixer of everything for that is part of them growing up and learning and creating their very own testimony. It is exciting to see your children grow up and step into their own unique destinies in God isn't it?
I stumbled upon a video the other day of Brian Simmons sharing his testimony. I like the bibles I have right now and it really does take a lot to get me to get another version of the bible until I heard his testimony at The Healing Rooms of Santa Maria, I think that is the name of the location. Strong, strong testimony that compelled me to purchase the Passion translation bible this past Saturday. I read a few things in it . I actually read Proverbs 18 on my birthday 8/18. I will share about this later when I write about my birthday ok. Hint, I was up early sharing time with Jesus on my birthday before anything else that day. I love Jesus and this was the very day He called me forth to be born. View/listen to this strong testimony I encourage you to do so. Do not skip over the worship either for it is beautiful.
