Over the last six weeks, I have been on a journey with the Lord that has stopped me in my tracks while propelling me forward. I admit that I did not foresee all that has been revealed, and yet I am thrilled with the new joy the Lord has given me.
About two months ago I was doing the dishes, and as I stood there cleaning I just welled up with tears in my eyes. I told the Lord that I knew that there had to be more in Him. I told Him that if He would show me, I would go with Him.
Since that evening, He has taken me on a wild and fun journey. He has exposed false teachings, shown me how alive the Holy Spirit is, opened my eyes to things in the spiritual realm and, to say the least, I am still on the edge of my seat. I want more of Him. I am learning that "nothing is impossible with God." He really means it. It is time we take Him at His words and stop rationalizing everything or believing what we have always been told. We have to dig in the Word and fill our minds with Christ. We have to push and ask to be pushed by Him.
On Wednesday nights, I have been teaching a ladies class with an elder's wife. We were learning to "Live outside the box". My first questions were: What is the box and who makes it? My questions were laughed off b/c the truth is no one really knows who made the box b/c it has been taught so long and the box is defined but what it is not.
So the Lord has been teaching me about this box. He has literally blown it apart and has me still breathing hard. I do think it is time to ask ourselves as the people of God the hard questions about why we believe what we believe. Questions are not bad. Mary, the mother of Christ, asked Gabriel, "How can this be?" after hearing that she would bare a child as a virgin. And what is so awesome about that question is that Gabriel answered her and told her plainly how it would come pass.
So I encourage you to ask hard questions and seek real answers. Also, God can answer for Himself. You don't have to talk to others about it. He will answer you. The bible says, " if you seek Him, you will find Him". So go seeking.

Hi Martha! I've been trying to get through to read your family blog since you went private but my password isn't working; sometime when you get an opportunity, would you mind e-mailing me @ Ashleybaker2006@comcast.net and then I can check to see if you have the right info. BUT, so grateful I found this blog of yours and how awesome to hear the journey the Lord has you on. I think that's wonderful that you were bold enough to ask the Lord to reveal MORE of Himself to you; indeed when we ask He will show us! As I was scrolling down in your posts I read the one on Halloween and felt relief only because I've been appalled at the decorations in local stores around us this year and it doesn't seem like other people are really that upset about it. When I can't even go drop off my film at Walgreens b/c there are devils hanging all over the ceiling, there is something SO wrong. It is evil and I feel like it's such a battleground; thank you for posting your Godly views on this and scripture that testifies against it. Long comment but so good hearing from you and I look forward to hearing/seeing how your sweet family is doing!!!
