Mark 16:20 (NIV) "Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it."
I am a real Bible believer. I believe if I ask God to do something He will. I am one of those crazy fanatics that actually take God at His word and believe it when He speaks to me. I believe I am God's favorite!
Now before you get all mad at me I believe you can be God's favorite too. I believe when we ask anything in His name and it is according to His will He will do it!
John 14:13 (NIV) "And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
I am also convinced that God is no respecter of person. What He will do for me He will do for you. People are often surprised by the favor of God on my life when they first meet me. After they know me awhile they too think I am God's favorite and I have some kind of special powers. I tell the rain to stop and it does. I ask for a parking space and I get it. I must admit sometimes I get that parking spot and on purpose give it to someone else just because I want to sow a seed for a future parking space when I really need one.
So I experienced the favor of God. It was almost to great to believe so I ask God to confirm it with a sign. Now remember I said we can ask according to His word?
Judges 6:37 (NIV) "look, I will place a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you said."
So all along the beach I kept finding these pieces of sand dollars. I had ask let me find money or something that lets me know You are confirming this thing that has just been spoken. My mother loves shells and usually she comes with me to enjoy the beach and her family. After all she was the one of the first Condo owners back in the day. Each morning we would have to go for a walk and pick up shells for her to take home. When she found a sand dollar she'd be so excited. If she found a half of a sand dollar she exclaim, "I found 50 cents!". Then she'd walk awhile and find a forth of a sand dollar and yell, "I found a quarter!" On the game would go until we returned from the Pier to see who had the most money~Mother always won.
This week we had not seen a shell. Not one big enough to even bother to bend over and pick up. All the way to the Pier there were no shells. We had commented that mother would be disappointed this year because there were no shells. Now after my prayer it was as though it had suddenly rained sand dollars. Bits and pieces, quarters, fifty cent pieces were everywhere. I wanted to shout, "Hey Mom I know I am going to win! I found 50 cents! I found a quarter!" and on it went until I returned from the Pier.
God is faithful. Start asking Him according to His word. He doesn't take a vacation! He wants us to Daily Divert, Weekly Withdrawal and Annually Abandon to be refreshed and recreated we must recreate. So go ahead enjoy life and take Him with you wherever you go. Your life can be a living testimony!

By the way just in case you didn't know it, inside every sand dollar are these little doves. To me they always reminded me of the Holy Spirit; especially today.
