New addition to WordofTruth blog
Today, I just added the FEEDJIT Live Traffic Map to my blog! This should make for an interesting widget. I have been wondering who was stopping by thinking not many were. Once I added this feature immediately I noticed I got a visitor from across the world. Without this widget, I would never know that person visited my site. If you don't have this widget on your blog, I suggest you get it. It truly is "eyes and ears" for you, seeing visitors you wouldn't normally notice. For me, after having my blog for only 1 week, it is an encouragement. Now I know I'm actually getting traffic I didn't know about.
Seeking God
How do we really seek God? You know usually I find myself seeking His hand or his handouts! But what does it take to seek His face? After 22 years of being a Christian I find that I don't always seek His face.
Seeking the face of God is to seek a closer walk with Him to develop that relationship with him that was started when we accepted him as savior.
He is our provider. He is our Father. He is our everything. So it is easy to just mumble off prayers about our needs without actually taking the time to wait on him. To get to know him more personally.
The scripture says, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." -Matthew 6:33
So this is what is required. We have to make the conscience choice to set aside time to do this. You can set aside an hour a day for instance, and/or one day a week devoted to seeking Him. Turn off the tv, the internet, the cell phone, etc... This is hard for those of us who have addictions to those things. So it may be necessary for us to re-prioritize our life. Addictions are a form of idol worship anyway. So break those habits, and wait on God instead. It may be necessary to conduct a fast in order to jump start this process.
When we begin to seek Him, we can anoint ourself with oil, and ask him to cover us in the blood of Jesus. Then invite His Holy Spirit to fill us and guide us in our prayer time. Put on some worship music and begin to praise and worship Him. (this does not mean contemporary "Christian" rock.) Make sure to repent of everything that may have displeased Him. Make sure to forgive everyone who hurt you. You can even take communion.
All of these things will deepen your walk with God. By doing these things you are actively making room in your life for the one who went to the cross on your behalf. This is one way you can love Him back and show Him that you truly appreciate what He has done for you.

Bible Tip
The Holy Bible is the Word of God.
This means that the men who penned the words of the scriptures were holy men of God inspired and controlled by God in what they wrote. God supernaturally preserved their writings over the ages and allowed them to be assembled into what we now know to be the bible.
The Word of God is not just a book with pages and ink.
"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." -John 6:63
"1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" -John 1:1
"14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." -John 1:14

Welcome to my newest blog followers!!
I would like to welcome my newest two followers to my blog who joined recently! PJ from PJ's Prayer line http://pjsprayerline.blogspot.com/, and Sherida Kuffour of Coconut and Cream http://coconutandcream.blogspot.com/. I have seen both of your blogs and I think they look absolutely fantastic! PJ's blog is packed full of content. You could spend all day in there! And Sherida's has really nice photography. The site is professionally and artistically done. It looks real nice. I will be coming back to both of your blogs a lot. Thank you both for following my blog. Sherida, I have a scripture for your two atheist classmates you wrote about in your "Stop forcing your religion unto me" blog article. Here it is: "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good." -Psalm 53:1 (Psalm 14:1 says the same thing.)
Thanks again to the both of you! I sense that God is using both of you in a very special and big way!

Psalm 23
"1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." -Psalm 23

Plague of Frogs?
It was requested that I post about this new plague that hit Greece.
What the heck is up with the frogs? Lol! Man if you ever got a hint from God that it is time to repent, this type of plague should be pretty darn obvious!
First they needed a major financial bailout. And now they have more frogs than money! Something is going on with Greece. But it's not just Greece. There is stuff happening all over the world. We got earthquakes, tornado's in Oklahoma, a flood in Nashville, Oil in the gulf, a Volcano in Iceland, and on and on...
I see that the governments of the world have been secretly working together to bring about a New World Order. ...A One World Global government! Don't kid yourself. This thing is very real. People want to stay in their comfort zones and pretend nothing is happening because they have been brainwashed by the commercials and tv shows.
Everything is unfolding just like the Bible warned us it would. Maybe it will happen slower than I think. But It is definitely happening. Instead of the world instantly changing over night, it is changing slowly. One thing happens at a time. Then when we get over that thing, another thing happens. Each of these things being another step toward a One World Dictatorship.
To some this sounds like I'm nuts. But those people have been blinded by their sin. It should be obvious that God is working through a lot of these crisis's to bring people to repentance. Jesus is soon to return! Are you ready?
Read the book of Revelation. It may be hard to understand, but there is a lot in there about what will take place in the end times which we are in now! There are many Christian Prophetic ministries out there that explain a lot of what is happening in relation to the Bible. We must be prepared!
