My Addiction
I have a confession to make.
I’m an addict.
Every morning, whether I’m at work or off duty, I go online and surf the Internet in search of the thing I crave.
Yeah, I know… I just came down from one high, but another one is out there waiting for me. And I’m going to find it.
My addiction?
Blogs.
Now I know what you’re going to say.
I could quit if I really wanted to.
But the truth is, I don’t want to.
I have probably 30 friends right now who are blogging regularly—maybe more. I lost count. (If you’re an addict, its good to have friends who support your habit.)
My blogging friends hear God pretty well and they write about their conversations with Him. When I read a blog post written by someone who is tuned in to the frequency of heaven, I learn a little more about what heaven is up to. After reading my friend’s blogs, I always have a better understanding of what God is doing among His people and what He’s saying. And knowing what He’s up to is kind of a big deal to me.
My blogger friends also have, collectively, a few centuries of time walking with God. They distill their experiences and revelation into messages anyone can read. If you read someone’s blog, you glean the benefit of the lessons they’ve learned without needing to suffer their mistakes. The collective wisdom of thousands of saints is available to us through their blogs.
There are a lot of other things I could do with my time. But other than spending time with God Himself, there’s no better way to spend my time than reading the living epistles He is writing through my friends who blog. And honestly, as I read their blogs, and He highlights the things they say that are relevant to me, I’m spending time with Him, too.
Some friends who are gifted writers are not yet blogging. And because they have valuable things to add to the conversation, I’ve asked, and they’ve allowed me to re-post their messages here. I hope they’ll consider starting their own blogs soon. God seems to be extending extraordinary favor to writers right now.
If you’re interested in checking out some of my favorite blogs, you can find them listed in the left hand sidebar under “Blogging Friends.”
But be careful. Blogs can be addictive.
You’ve been warned.
I’m grateful that people like you share what the Lord has been communicating and doing lately. Seems a stronger stirring in my spirit and restlessness has been surging within as of late. And when I share this with my colleagues, they think that maybe it’s just a phase. But I find those like you who already seem to be walking in what I only seem to be sensing inside me. It has encouraged me to press on for a breakthrough I’m hoping for. Thank you again … for your addiction! ?
Thanks for being my blogging friend and sharing what you’re hearing!
Thank you sir!
Thanks so much for your blog. My Daughter is a beautiful Christian blogger. Though she is taking a rest from it for awhile. She is having knee surgery on Monday.
You can’t possibly know how very much I am devouring your books: ‘Divine Healing Made Simple’ and ‘Seeing In The Spirit Made Simple’. Right now I am reading “The Veil” and I love it. Can’t put it down. For years I have had dreams and prophecies—etc. Indicating that possibly God would use me in this area. But I’ve never had any one to teach me how exactly. I am seeking hard in this area. So you can’t possibly know how very much I appreciate your books and books written by others on this same subject. Thanks again so much. In Jesus’ Love, Marjorie
Thanks Marjorie. Glad to hear the books are helping you!
Can you please pray for my wife? Her name is Cecily and I am believing God’s promise that he wants he healed (1 Peter 2:24 and Isiah 53:5) so he needs thanks! Blessings
I’m praying for Cecily now. Thanks for dropping by!

nice addiction to have….
I suppose it could be worse 🙂
Oh my gosh, you’ve perfectly expressed what I love about reading your blog AND your friends blog. I’ve been on here for at least a year after Amazon recommended “Divine Healing made Simple” based on my other books (thank you Amazon…and thank you Jesus!) Some people don’t get why I read so much, and at times I too wonder if I’m “overloading” but it really is the next best thing to direct communication with Him. Recently (few weeks ago) spoke to a storm here in Phoenix on my way home telling it to not do injury with lightning and to calm down a bit (not go away, just settle down during the drive home) which I would have never done before reading one of your friend’s blogs!
Today, while reading Amazon I discovered your book on “Seeing in the Spirit” and have been struggling almost a year why I have been left by my family, friends alone. Losing my husband recently does not make it easier. But this morning, one day before my birthday, I was thinking of what I could buy as a gift for myself! I just found it! I am getting your book and also following your blog. Thank you Heavenly Father for always bringing people in our lives to show us Your Love! Shalom,
Welcome to my circle of friends Maria!
