Good evening people. In 1999 I heard Chester Delagneau give his testimony at his Bible study in front of about 20 people and I was floored to hear what he had been through and the fact he was ok with being vunerable and letting everyone know some of his deepest issues. Then, after he was done with his testimony he asked me to give mine the next week which was truly horrifying. If you looked at me from the outside you would have thought I was happy go lucky and very happy. On the inside it was a different story. After I gave my testimony it gave me a new freedom in Christ. It was ok to let people know I was struggling and my life was changed forever.

Testimonies are a big part of Neal To The Cross. Please watch my friend Travis Larson below. As I have said before there is COMPLETE FREEDOM IN CHRIST JESUS! Nothing is to big to overcome. The first step is asking Jesus into your heart as Lord and Savior and complete surrender of your life to HIM. Click here to make that commitment now.

P.S.-here is a little Psalm 27 nugget for you.
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—
so why should I be afraid?
The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger,
so why should I tremble?

I was listening to the live Todd Proctor version of Facedown this morning and it was rocking me. “And I’ll fall facedown as YOUR GLORY shines around.” Let the words sink in. Let me know if you have any prayer requests.

Good morning Neal To The Crossers! Let the following words sink deep into your inner man. The Lord is ALL THAT WE NEED. Let me know if you have any prayer requests. I am ready to pray without ceasing.

Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
2 He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
3 He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
4 Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
5 You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever.

When a Seed Falls
John 12:23-25 23 Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

1 Peter 1:11-12 11 trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.

The angels and the host of heaven gathered in awe at the Wisdom of God as one His beloved ones was ready to fall to the ground and lose their life that they might have the Life(even Christ formed in them). They never tired of this sight and they marveled at the generosity of God who gave us the right to become heirs with Christ His Son. In these days there was an ever increasing frequency of this event where the sons and daughters of the promise were willing to follow him even unto death that they might become like Him even now in this life. The event was so rare that one would dare to fall to the ground but now the Spirit was moving upon the earth calling to the beloved to come and follow Him. The Lord of the Harvest said come things are now ready for My harvest. I have been sown into the earth and the Father will now reap what was sown by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Lamb spoke and said, “many now will hear my voice and they will overcome as I have overcome”. “The fear of death will no longer hold my people captive”. “They will overcome the fears and anxiety of this world and know that I love them and have produced in them a harvest”. “The single seed that cannot reproduce my life or my kingdom will fall now to the ground in the soil of faith which I have prepared for mine that hear my voice in this hour upon the earth”. “My house will sprout out in the multitude of its fruitfulness that I am and declare my glory”.

The lone voice of the single seed was growing faint among the people, hardly heard. No longer was self the orientation or perspective by which things were seen. But through the eyes of Wisdom the many seeds coming from the one gave glory to the Lord of the harvest and the blessings fell upon the host of the seeds that God had produced.

We meet for breakthrough, we meet for life, to love, encourage, exhort and become the harvest for Christ was sown in us and He will be reaped in those who follow Him with love, faith and perseverance they will find Him in this hour. Come for Life and to live the life you were given by Him to live. Live in Love, life in Him, life in resurrection power. There is no death in Life. Jesus is the Life.

Blessings,

I have been reading the outline from the “Being Faithful In A Faithless World” over and over again. In this teaching Rick Warren talks about so many important nuggets that I am letting seep into my inner man. I encourge you to click on the link below and printout the outline and listen to the audio. SO POWERFUL!

Being Faithful In A Faithless World Outline

I was really crying out to the Lord this morning about a couple things in my life and I asked for a clear word on what I was supposed to be doing. Wouldn’t it be nice if God would just speak to me in plain words that I can hear just like in any other conversation? So far that has not happened but He has spoken to me clearly in many other ways just like He did today.

Well, God wanted to remind me about faithfulness. I opened my Bible this morning to read and I had no agenda but just to read and see what happens. I picked up one of my Saddleback outlines from about 6 weeks ago and looked at it and I decided to read Hebrews 11 as that was at the top of the outline. Of course chapter 11 is about “Great examples of Faith” and story after story really drove home the message of how important faith is. I love this verse about faith. Hebrews 11:1 Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.” BINGO! I encourage you to click here and read the chapter now. Nothing is impossible with faith in God.

Then I want about my business the rest of today and just got home and thought I will watch the message from Saddleback Church from this past weekend online. So I just went online and guess what the message is about? “Being Faithful In A Faithless World.” As usual I started cracking up and said I get the point God. I read over the outline and there was verse after verse about being faithful. Click here to read the outline now. The outline is on the bottom left of your screen. So I clicked on the video but it said media is unavailable. So I read over the outline again and said well I will go to www.ibethel.tv and see what Bill Johnson was up to this past weekend. I clicked on the “free” button and then clicked on a worship video from this past weekend and instead of worship in the beginning guess what Bill was talking about? Yep, FAITHFULNESS.

Please continue to pray for me to walk in faith with what the Lord has given me in this moment. Let me know how I can pray for you. Shoot me an email or leave a comment below. God is speaking to you right now. Can you hear him?
