HI!  I will be working away and HE tells me to go to this blog page so He can speak to you, so that is why I call myself Writer For The King.  You will note in previous blogs that we are also letting you know about a book that HE spoke every word of, printed now for you to enjoy and get to know Him and start listening and writing your own personal words from Him.  Seek Him out because He is waiting and long for you to desire to know Him.  You will not be disappointed with a personal friendship with the King of Kings and God of the Universe.  How cool is that!!!

My words are coming forth to anyone who will listen.  It’s MY promise as God and there is no other.  Don’t think this strange or funny, I’ve been shouting it to My kids for centuries, but few have listened.  Joan was one, but few believed.  Yes I speak of her this day as Mine, she is.  Why do you think it strange that I God of the Universe would know you by name.  I have your name inscribed upon the palm of My hand.  You do that with numbers you want to keep.  Why does it sound strange to you?  I AM God and you are so much a part of Me that your name, your face, your very, intricately, perfectly designed by ME DNA bears My name and initials.  You are made in My image, but few have cared enough to find out what I mean by that statement of truth, not fact.  All will know some day, but those who choose to seek Me out can know Me for themselves right now.  Yes.  I AM here and listening and seeing and knowing all that there is to know.  Do you even begin to comprehend what that means to you this very day.  Your life is completely 100 percent known to Me before the foundations of the world were laid.  You cannot disappoint Me because all is done, FINISHED by My Son Jesus is His name.  And yes He is real, exists, and will return at My command soon enough for you to see Him if you desire to believe in Him and let Him lead your life.  He knows everything there is to know about everything.  So that thing that has you stumped right now is known completely to Him and yes, He will tell you what to do and how.  Sounds strange but many live this way 24-7 and have more fun that you could ever imagine because He is joy, love, life, truth, the WAY as He declared to you when He was here and walked the earth.  Come.  Try Him out.  See if WE are not all WE say and more.  We love you.  Yes YOU!  The one reading this right now.  Your frame and name are My design.  Come!

The book was prompted out of Christmas gift frustration.  I was asking the Lord to show me what in the world to get our adult children for Christmas in 2009.  I heard the Lord say, “write a devotional book for them.”  I was excited and yet looked at the calendar, it was December 1.  It seemed a daunting task.  However, never underestimate the Lord’s ability to do what He desires.

I came home from work the first night, got my Bible and journal; sat down to write.  Amazingly, I heard “January 1” and the first sentence, “How many days are in the year?”  God began to speak out the whole day, and the next and so on.  I would come home from work sit down and He’d literally pick up right where we’d left off the night before.  I never opened my Bible or journal.  In fact sometimes I would get so caught up in what He was saying, that my own thoughts would get on the page.  He would immediately say, “delete, that’s not My words!”

He finished speaking out the book to me on December 15.  I sat back overwhelmed by His words; who He is. I knew His words were going to encourage my children’s hearts in the future.  His words were going to hit the mark on days of need He knew were coming.  He told me to print 7 at the local university copy center; one for each family member and a friend that He specifically named.  The book was originally called “My Sheep Hear My Voice And Follow Me” with the picture of a lamb on the front.  My friend took her copy as she headed south for Christmas.  She called saying, “I can’t lay it down, I just keep reading from one day to the next!”

In January of 2010 I heard Him say, “print 100 copies.  Sell them for $12 at the local gift shop; and most you’ll give away.  You will know what to do.  My friend called and confirmed this message from the Lord.  He’d told her to edit the book for typing errors as she read.  We made the corrections, printed the books, and anointed all 100 books with oil, asking Him to put them in the hands of His kids who needed to know He loves them.

The local store agreed to sell copies on consignment. However, most of the 100 books were given away over the next two years. On January 17, 2012 I was at home on a “Snow Day” from school.  He told me to call my friend who was already a published author and ask her how to get the book to print.  By January 19 I was in contact with Author House Publishing, and the book was going to print by Thursday, January 26.  On Sunday morning January 29 He woke me saying, “you have to change the title of the book—only those who already know Me will recognize it.”

I panicked. The book was already in process, BUT GOD knows all things so I didn’t argue with Him.  I told my husband and what he said next surprised us both.  He said, “I think the book should be called, ‘When God Speaks…He Says Amazing Things!”  I looked at him stunned.  I knew he had just spoken out the new title of the book.  I looked through the approved pictures for a new cover picture to go with the title.

The picture of a man reaching his arms up to heaven, grabbed my heart and still does.  It was how I felt too.  I showed 4 pictures to a friend that day and she immediately said, “this one.”  She had chosen the picture of the man!”

I called Author House Monday morning January 30 and they hadn’t sent the book to print.  God KNEW!  The name changes were made throughout the book and the cover redone.  The book went to print on February 2, exactly 17 days from the first phone call.  It still blows my mind, but with God all things are incredibly, supernaturally, possible.

My hope for the book is simply for people to discover God DOES love them.  To hear His voice for themselves and start their own journey of listening and recording what He tells them 24-7.  Jesus is the WAY, the truth, the life!  There’s no other way to the Father but through Him.  So get started.  Jesus came to get us out of bondage to ourselves and into abundant life with Him.  Believe, receive and hear Him.  He will speak to you. Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit love you!  They have all the answers and are waiting to share them with you.  Come home!

As a high school student back in the late 60’s I took typing and shorthand classes; which I still use every day of my life.  In the 1970’s I was the Promotion and Public Affairs Manager for an ABC Television Affiliate writing all the on air copy advertising the Network lineup and promotional materials for the station.  I’ve written numerous published articles for local newspapers, written poems as gifts for people, and journaled for over 40 years now.  I’m a wife, mom, and Nana working full time at a school.  I’ve been friends with Jesus my whole life.  However, the experiences of the past 16 years made me turn to Him for answers, comfort, strength, and courage.  We went through a time of restoration for our marriage, moved across state, our children all grew up and started families of their own.  During this time my journaling changed from just recording my words to listening to Him speak to me about everything.  He assured me that He was right there going through things with me and knew all about it.  He promised me answers and information as I was able to handle it on a daily basis.  It became the most exciting part of my day.  In December 2009 I was trying to think of what to get our children for Christmas and the Lord said, let’s write a devotional book for them for the coming year.  I came home from work the first night, got out my Bible and journal and thought that I was going to share some of my writings.  However, I heard the Lord speak out January 1 and kept going.  I was stunned.  I soon realized that He intended to give me the words for the book.  He literally spoke out the entire 365 days of the book.  Sometimes He would just say a word and wait for me to type it.  I think my favorite was March 5.  He just said, “Popcorn.”  I thought I was hearing things—I was.  I could almost sense His laughter.  He made popcorn—so spoke out the rest of the day as He wanted it.  There were times that my own thoughts would get mixed in and He would say, delete, that’s not what I said.  He kept me out of it.  There are others who have written similar books from their experience of listening, and it is sometimes amazing to see how our individual books dove tale on a given day.  Why not, He is God and knows all things and they’re His words, so He can do and say amazing things.  I printed the 7 copies of the book at our local university for Christmas gifts.  Then the Lord told me to print 100 copies to sell and give away.  As January of 2012 approached I was down to about 5 copies left and was praying about what was next.  The Lord provided funds and directed us to officially publish the book through Author House Publishing company where a friend of mine was an author.  The process started on January 19 and the book went to print by February 3, 2012.  It was a miracle.  The book will help you realize just how much God knows you, is not mad at you and desires to have a personal 24-7 relationship with you.  He’s not a crutch, but Creator of all that exists.  He has ALL the answers.  Jesus said He had much to share with us and His Spirit would teach and lead us.  He speaks night and day.  He never leaves us or forsakes us. He is the “I AM” and that means right here, right now.

He wants to spend time with us.  I love just sitting quiet with Him; which is amazing because all who know me, know that I’m task driven, busy.  He said, “My Sheep hear My voice and follow Me!”  Listening to Him has become so much fun.  The world says just Believe, well you better be sure you’re believing in the real deal.  HE IS.  Check Him out.  He will not let you down!  He loves you!
