God's purpose in providing and bestowing the prophetic gift is clearly to
re-establish and maintain communication with man. I don't wish to dissect every detail there is on prophesy, I just want to praise God that He chooses to communicate with us.
I went home for a conference about three months ago. My parents pastor the most beautiful church, full of precious people that are kind and completely full of love. Don't you
love those kinds of people?
Anyway, they held a conference were Sandie and Mickie Freed (who are absolutely the most beautiful and respectable couple that honor God with their lives) came and spoke. I cannot write about how powerfully the Holy Spirit moved during that weekend. Although, I can give you great phrases and words that will spark your imagination:
peacefully, comfortably, in control but not under control, beyond the grasp of my human mind, encouraging, the spirit of knowledge and sound mind, Takes away fear and enables rational thought, Removes spiritual blindness, reveals spiritual truth,and communicates the content of truth...
I had the most emotional and beautiful connection with God just by listening to people (I knew) hear from the Lord from this couple. If you asked me how real it was, I could write and write and write and never stop. Let me just say, God is real.
Let me set the scene up for you. If pastors Sandie and Mickey (who have willingly put themselves under God's control) felt like they had a word from the Lord for somebody, they would stop what they were doing (most cases, preaching) and give it. I was brought to tears as I watched people I know be brought to tears as they received revelation and hope for their lives through people that have never even met nor talked to them.
Now, I'm on the piano, playing some soft background music (so the holy spirit can move...kidding)
and they call me out. I hate to say this but I didn't really intently listen. I tried, but was a bit distracted with the flow of the music. AWFUL
Now, Finally, let me bring you back to today's date. I've been struggling with just about everything they had encouraged me about and I didn't even remember what God had said to me (mainly because I didn't process it in the first place)
I got a text from my dad while I was at work that said "check your email" so I did and it was the recording of what God had said to me three months ago. RIGHT ON TIME.
I was in the break room when I listened to the podcast. It is so evident that God is faithful. Everything I had been doubting and wondering and stressing just began to be release off of me as the promises of God were spoken to me over my muffled phone speakers. It's almost as if God was winking at me. Like a sweet, "I've got you." I'm so thankful that he was willing to remind me even when I wasn't willing to listen the first time.
God helped me. The Holy Spirit- My helper. Here it is, my testimony for today. Take it as your own.
