Fool for Christ

  Be still and Listen By Liz King      It’s often hard for me to sit still. I have ADHD so my mind rushes 1000 miles an hour and twenty million thoughts are going through my head. As I was in prayer, I asked God why he couldn’t just yell at me every now and then so I could hear him better then the revelation started coming to me. Maybe I need to listen better. My refusal to listen better is my own pride. I want it my way instead of his way by me not being still or quiet is my refusal to listen and wait.      The reason God's voice is so quiet is because it forces us to wait and listen. It is quiet because the world's thoughts and desires are so strong that it becomes a sacrifice to be still to find his desires. His voice is quiet because we have to bend to his will rather than our own. It is quiet because we need to put him first. When we begin willingly listening to his small still voice, we learn to know his voice better than we do our own or the wor...

I’m A Squirrel!!! By Liz King      What?? That’s a weird title you might think but this is my morning analogy. Every morning I feed the birds and squirrels out my window, so when I drink my coffee and spend time in worship and time with God, I can enjoy his creation.      Today I put the bird seed and nuts out and decided to drink my coffee and worship outside.  As I did, the animals fled in fear. Some birds slowly gained some courage, but my squirrel groupies were afraid and did not trust me, even though I’ve been feeding them faithfully for about 8 months. Sometimes, when I get home from somewhere, they are on my roof looking at me wondering when I will put out more nuts.  Sometimes they will be looking at me through my window expectantly waiting for their treats.       Today though they are scared of my presence and did not trust me. Finally, one showed up.    He stood afar off and examined me. Slowly he ...

Bought With A Price By Liz King     Years ago, I performed in several dramas at my church. I even wrote one. I called it bought with a price. The premise was a rich lady had gone to an auction. The auctioneer was a very well-dressed handsome man. After several pieces were auctioned, the auctioneer slyly grins and says, “Our next item up for auction is very special! This one is for an eternal soul!” Two men, representing demons, grabbed the well-dressed woman. She is in shock, disbelief, and does not understand what is going on. She struggles to get away but it is useless. Then the bidding begins. Satan comes out of the attendees and satan says, “fame” then Jesus says, “forgiveness” then satan says, “money” Jesus says, “peace”. They continue to battle for the woman’s soul, and it starts taking a darker turn. The woman panics going back and forth as her soul is being bid on. Satan then begins to argue with Jesus. “What has she given you?? She is selfish! She has hated you a...

Foundations   Digging into the Word of God By Liz King Luke 6:46-49 2 Timothy 2:15 King James Version 15  Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. As I was reading Luke 6 verses 46-49 popped out at me and I saw it like I never had before!!    Verse 48 says, “He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock.” The words “who dug deep” hit me. In order to build a foundation you have to dig in the ground to lay the foundation, so your house can withstand whatever nature throws at it. The same is with our spiritual self!! In order to build a foundation that will stand, we have to dig deep in God’s word and dig even deeper in a relationship with Jesus. Why is this important?? 1 Peter 5:8 says, “Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your...
