Standing Strong in His Grace

This morning I felt the need to really examine my walk with the Lord Jesus. I must confess there are some things in my life at this time that I needed to face and deal with, especially my apathy toward GOD over the last several months. I know my actions grieved His Holy Spirit.  I got my heart right and repented before God today.  I erected several old idols in my life over the last several Covid months that were not healthy for my spiritual walk in Christ Jesus. The first thing I did was listen to some worship songs.  His worship came alive in my heart once again. He has touched me greatly through that this morning with His special anointing as I kneeled in my living room and poured out my heart to HIM. I can not put all the songs on this blog, maybe I will just one and the rest will be posted on my FB. God does speak intimately and always through worshipping Him.  He always has for me. I believe I have been spiritually cleansed by the blood of Jesus. It is truly my...

I thought I would say Hi to everyone and let you all know how I am doing instead of the usual FB post. Yes this is a different blog that I created many months ago when I was having so much trouble posting over there. When the Corona hit the US and especially Arkansas, it threw me for a tailspin. I am a writer at heart so I love my now peaceful existence. I  love the solitude and I know God speaks to me in my quiet moments with HIM. My biggest struggle has been isolating in the past.  In the past withdrawing has caused me to have several breakdowns. I haven't had a mental breakdown or anything, its just been very tough to break though that barrier of isolation. I have been distraught and hopeless. It is tough starting over from scratch. Some of you know what I am talking about some don't and that's fine.  I am believing that God will help me rebuild what has been torn down. Do I  believe that God can restore after the mess I have made with my life??  Absolutely I...

I always see a flower before it blooms.                               Richard T Hicks 2020 I was not always like that.  Why and exactly how in the world did my perspective change over the years? I used to be completely opposite.  I was a Norman Negative and Pessimistic Peter. You name it, I was it. I seen the glass half empty never half full. I was a constant worrier about the future and lived in the past. It was as if everyday was a drudgery.   All I could see before me as all my mistakes I had made in my life. All I seen in the mirror was one big mistake. It is as if I lived mistake after mistake. I felt like a scratched up record that could not be fixed.   Before I fell asleep at night not only did my mind replay the negative from that day but it was like it domino'ed a past of bad negative choices I had made in life surfaced....  I wanted to die but was afraid t...

When I was 18 I had a salvation experience one Sunday night on a jog around the block where we lived. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Holy Spirit had a hand in that experience...no doubt about it. My soul was touched and saved from the strong grip of the devil. My mind was very troubled and tormented as a teenager. I had experienced deliverance for the very first time. But what happened the next night was just as important to me. My friend Anna took me to see her pastor who opened up the scriptures to me about the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. I was so like a sponge on that night I soaked the word in as the Holy Spirit ministered through that Assembly of God pastor. As they prayed over me that night, I received the gift of a heavenly language from the Father in Heaven. I don't know it all and I know everyone's beliefs are different. But what I do know is this, I experienced it that night and I grew up a Baptist. It ...

It was really awesome what the Holy Spirit spoke to me as I was finishing up memorizing a portion of scripture tonight.  He spoke to me concerning that the word of GOD "is" much like a hammer, and as I keep memorizing the scriptures that I was going to have a great spiritual break-through.  I really believe it was from the LORD. I am believing that the walls of sin that have kept me from experiencing more of GOD in my heart and life, will be shattered by my memory work! I am believing as well that for people who are interested in having a deeper intimacy with GOD that you will experience that deeper peace as 'you' memorize the holy scriptures. I always had a difficult time when I was in school. Learning didn't come easy for me. I had to be very deliberate in memorizing. Then after a day or so I could not even remember what I memorized. School was really tough in a whole lot of aspects but that's for a different time and place...Then, when I ...
