The radio turned on, and as I do many days I laid in bed and began to speak to my Lord! My question was how do I know when I hear from you Lord? Please speak to me to help me understand… That was pretty much it word for word. I pressed snooze as I laid there and believe it or not, I fell back to sleep…
7:17 am… Queue the radio again…. In big green numbers I see 7:17. I guess I nodded off again.
"Look up John 7:17", In my ½ awake and ½ asleep stage I heard a small voice say. Strange I thought as I hit snooze again…
I don’t remember exactly what time I did get up today, one of the blessings of being the boss I guess, but in the back of my mind I knew I was supposed to look up some scripture, but couldn’t for the life of me remember what it was… John 3:17 kept coming to mind but when I looked it up, I thought well that was just me talking to my self, and I put the bible away and took another sip of my coffee! Then I remembered it was 7 O’clock when I heard the voice not 3 O'clock. So I looked up that scripture.
John 7:17 (New American Standard Bible)
17"(A)If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.
And with the faith like a child, it kind of made sense. So that was today. I guess I am willing to do his will! Or want to be willing! So did God just answer a Question with a Question? I don’t know but I do know that it cool and it made me happy! It is nice to be simple minded! Trevor OUT.

Practicing forgotten Gifts
Mark 9:23-24 23" 'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes."
24Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"
I AM THAT FATHER!
Some background
A long long time ago, in a land not that far away, a young impressionable boy of 17 was at a Pentecostal meeting where speakers came and talked of this POWER, this HOLY SPIRIT…
Now 13 years later, I am reminded of those meetings where I was filled/baptized in the HOLY SPIRIT! The single most empowering event in my life, when I experienced (for the first time) LIFE in this Christian walk, and Gods love for ME?! I saw with my little eyes, people who had demons, on or in them, and those demons come out, I heard them speak… I saw God touch people, in such a way that their physical body could not stand, could not function normally, and also experienced such an encounter my self! I prayed for people and God moved through me, to touch people in that way, and pride crept in… At 17, I thought I was pretty cool to be able to do this… I thought to my self, and maybe even said it to a couple of people… My youth pastor quickly stomped that out! I believe his words were “You know that had nothing to do with YOU”!!! Ouch, that sucks, and it hurt, and he was right! I was willing, and that was all it had to do with me. More on that later…
The important part is: God took time to speak to Trevor!!!!
Do you realize how amazing that statement is? GOD, you know the guy who spoke and all we know came to be, Spoke to Trevor!!! How could I continue to go on living the same life after that point?
Well it came to pass that distraction after distraction came into his life, and being young and foolish he chased nearly all of them. And as time passed the memory of what God had done for him faded to a distant foggy memory. There were times in his life where he would remember, and yet the distractions would come. Now I am 30 years old, and last weekend I was reminded of who JESUS is, and who the Holy Spirit is and why he is here! So now I practice, I will practice praying for people again, and sharing my testimony with them, and loving them. OUT OF TIME I HAVE TO RUN MORE LATER!
2 Corinthians 10:8For even if I boast somewhat freely about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than pulling you down, I will not be ashamed of it.

The "Thanking" has me!?
Thankfulness… If there is such a thing… grabbed me this A.M. as I awoke. I stared up that the ceiling with the sound of my alarm clock going off… I hit the snooze button and like so many other morning, I began to ask for a blessing or for something from God… But this morning was different. I thought, as I laid in bed, how like every other morning, I am constantly asking for a hand out from my creator. And decided to just thank Him for all of the blessing I could think of… Time passed and I realized that I had so much to be thankful for, it was hard to ask for more. In America, despite your political, or religious views, you have a lot to be thankful for.
So that is all. It has been a long, long while since I have posted, and that time is now over. I am thankful for that!
Blessings to you today.
Trevor out.
