The Bible says that miraculous signs and wonders will follow those who believe-Marilyn Hickey
Ephesians 1:17
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. –(Ephesians 1:17 NKJV)
“Lord, read my Bible? I read my Bible all the time. What are You saying?”
Your words were found, and I ate them,
And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts. (Jeremiah 15:16 NKJV)
Some years ago, Wally and I were on vacation in New Mexico. We had left a horrendous problem in our office, and though my body was in New Mexico, my head was still in Denver. I was in torment, and the Lord told me, “Read your Bible.” I thought, “Lord, read my Bible? I read my Bible all the time. What are You saying?” 
But the Lord said, “You are not reading enough of the Bible for this problem. Your problem is an elephant, and the Word you have read today, in comparison, is an ant. You need to read enough of the Word until it becomes the elephant and the problem becomes the ant.” I literally consumed the Word until it became the elephant.
When we went home, the Word was so strong in my heart that I began to understand our problem clearly. Six months later it was beautifully resolved.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Give us such a hunger for the Word that, instead of thinking “coffee” in the morning, we will think, Where’s my Bible?” Instead of a midnight snack of ice cream, give us the midnight snack of more scriptures. Let us have a consuming hunger for the Word of God.
In Jesus’s Name,
Amen

“Generational blessing does not deal in sufficiency, but in overflow. To another person, another generation, another culture, another time and place.”

What Makes Christianity Different than Other Religions?
In this episode of #AskMarilyn, Marilyn Hickey answers the question: What makes Christianity different than other religions?
Luke 11:28
But He Said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Luke 11:28
Rejoice, Pray, Bless
I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth (Psalm 34:1 NKJV).
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV).
Praise, blessing, prayer, joy—these qualities and behaviors should be what distinguish Christians from the rest of the world. If most of your thoughts do not fit into one of these categories, if your day is mostly about fear, anger, jealousy, ambition, etc., then you are not in God’s will for your life.
We can’t be reminded often enough to count our blessings.
Ask God to help you live a thankful life, full of joy and blessings for others.
We are called into fellowship?
God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. (1 Corinthians 1:9 NKJV)
We are called into fellowship? Can you imagine the Lord calling US to fellowship? We usually feel as though we are calling upon Him for fellowship. But God loves fellowship with us.
One morning I was lying in prayer on my couch, I was telling the Lord what a privilege it is to live for Him. He spoke to me and said, “You don’t live for me, you live with me. We live together, and we are seated together in heavenly places. We meet together in daily fellowship when we join in prayer.”
When we pray to the Father, both Jesus and the Holy Spirit pray with us. They intercede for us as we fellowship together.
We are never alone because He is Jehovah-Shammah—the Lord Who is present. Jesus said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Why? Because He has called us into this fellowship.
Dear Heavenly Father,
Help us to live in continual fellowship with You on a day-to-day basis. Thank You that the Fellowship of Jesus is sweet. Thank You that we walk daily in newness of life. Thank You that we walk daily in the Spirit and in fellowship with Your Son.Amen
Philippians 2:1-2
Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from His love? And fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? Philippians 2:1
