That Moment Catapulted My Spiritual Life
The sermon two Sundays ago I watched online. The part about the Holy Spirit being a person changed everything for me. If I had heard that before, I don’t remember it. I had also never heard or thought about that it was the Holy Spirit who made light be when God said it. I don’t know why that revelation was so profound to me, but knowing the same Holy Spirit hovering above the face of the waters that made light be is the same spirit in me, was the most profound thing I had ever heard. It hit me so deep in my core that I just wept and wept. The next morning as I asked the Lord to walk with me that day, I stopped myself because I felt like I was skimming over the Holy Spirit, at least in my own mind, because I knew now He was a person. And so I changed my prayer to, Good morning, Holy Spirit. I could barely get the words out of my mouth when I spoke to Him directly because His presence became so heavy that I literally could not speak. His presence totally took the breath right out of me in the most beautiful way. And I just basked in His presence for a very long time. That moment catapulted my Spiritual life.
We Are His Mouth, Hands, and Feet
I am so excited to share what God is doing in the earth. I want to thank Jesus for His blood shed for mankind. Ever since our founding Pastor's and leading Pastor's shared with us "Its all about The "Harvest of souls" and "Give them Jesus" It ignited me to share with people in my everyday walk, and tell them about Jesus saving power from satan's oppression to Heaven's Restoration through His blood and love. There has been 12 salvations and 1 person returned back to Christ. I want to encourage you to know we are his Mouth, Hands, and Feet. People are desperate to know Jesus and His saving power. Lets go get The harvest and give them Jesus!!!!
There is Promotion Coming
On July 6th, Pastor Joseph was ministering on a Wednesday night and toward the end of his message he began to prophecy “there is promotion coming” and specifically called me out (along with a few others) and laid his hand on me. On August 30th, I was at work and my manager came over to tell me that he had put me in for a promotion earlier this year and that I was selected for that promotion which goes into affect September 10th. In previous years, promotions were only awarded once a year which means that if you didn’t get a promotion in May or June then you would have to wait until the following year. So when Pastor Joseph prayed this my natural thought was I would receive a promotion next year. After my manager let me know of my promotion, he also told me how they changed how promotions work and now give them out quarterly instead of annually but I was completely unaware that this change had taken place when Pastor Joseph spoke that over me.
“Give Him My Love, Tell Him About Me”
My daughter & I had to go to our local phone store in Arlington, near where we live to get my phone worked on. And, while we were waiting on it to get repaired, these 2 men walk in, and one man goes to the counter to get assistance, and the other man starts walking around the store talking out loud, at first I thought he was speaking on his blue tooth ear buds, but soon realized he was talking alot of gibberish and blurring things out loud that didn't make sense. Later this lady customer walks in and he starts speaking to her like he knew her, and she was conversing back with him. I overheard him tell her he was homeless. She left and he sat in her chair next to us. I looked over at my 13 yr old daughter Morgan and she looked a little fearful, I looked at her, and told her to start speaking in the Holy Spirit, and I did as well. The man walked out, but came right back in. And, the Holy Spirit said, "Give him my love, tell him about me, give him the $15 you have in cash to him, and pray him through the sinners prayer, so he can know my love & salvation!" I told my daughter to go to the counter, and stand there while I talk with this man. I was not fearful at all because the Holy Spirit was upon me! I went to him, and told him God had something for him, and I gave him all the cash I had on me, which was the $15, I started immediately quoting the Romans Road and witnessing to him, and asked him to repeat the sinners prayer! And, I was able to speak LIFE into him, and told him God has great plans for him. His kind response was, "Thank you, I really needed this today!" We left the store and got onto our car, and I almost was in tears, and I told my daughter, "Sweetie, I forgot to ask him his name, and my daughter said, "it's okay Momma, God has his name written in the Lambs Book of Life"! Wow!! Thank you Jesus!!
Jesus Help Me
August 12 my car was struck from the rear by a vehicle as I drove on the freeway to work. My cat swerved, hitting another vehicle and spinning around to face oncoming traffic, where I hit a semi truck on the side. The entire time I was just crying out “Jesus help me! Jesus help me!” My car stopped, facing the correct direction in traffic, and when I realized I was ok I drove it onto the shoulder. I was totally safe and uninjured, with my body never moving or hitting anything. It was like help securely in place. My airbags never deployed, which the responding officer said was amazing. My car was totaled. I praise God for sending His angels to protect me! I was never so aware in my life of His faithfulness to His Word & to us!
