It is all a process…
Philippians 2:11-13 11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Praise the Lord!! I am truly blessed. I woke up this morning and was having chest pains and it was really hurting. I called out for my hubby and he of course came running. (I did not know my husband could move that fast) It is oh so awesome, as he asked me what was wrong and I told him. He told me to stand up and told me to walk, but it hurt so much all I could do was lay my head on his shoulder. Well of course he prayed and said dear, you need to walk it is gas. I moved a few inches and the pain is gone. (for those that wonder why I do not know gas when I feel it in my chest is because it never happened to me like that before, due to my surgery that I had, I do not have that issue)
He proceeds to tell me that God told him it was gas and sure enough it must have been because it is gone. It got me to thinking about how come God does not speak to me like that. Yet I said nothing to Merv about it. My son tells us how he woke up this morning and felt like he could not get out the bed. As my son is telling us what is going on with him, he asked Merv to pray for him. Merv begins to pray for him, and the Lord starts giving words to Jonathan. Letting Jonathan know that God is speaking to him too and how he is to be a leader to the other children, pretty much just speaking the words of God. I anoint my son and we pray over him. Jonathan has had problems with his hearing in his left ear and we know that God is a healer, so we pray for that hearing loss in his ear.
As I was thinking about the entire situation, I started thinking to myself and then verbally spoke it to Merv…why does God not speak to me like that? Do not get me wrong God speaks to me, but it just seems that God speaks to Merv so much more. LOL I told Him that I wanted God to speak to me in that manner. He said to me, dear, it was years before I was able to hear from Him like this. The very first thing that really hit me is that it is all a process, all of it is a process.
He told me that he wants to write like me as I express myself well in writing and in my speaking, yet to me He has a blessing of hearing from the Lord. I know that we all have our own gifts, but I do not see hearing from God as a gift but a way to be in Jesus. I watch my husband, I know that he is really walking the walk with the Lord and it encourages me to keep moving forward in the Lord and strive to grow my relationship with the Lord.
I was able to see how I am not to think less of my walk with the Lord because Minister Merv is closer to the Lord than I am. I allow it to motivate me to get even closer to the Lord. It is truly awesome when we do that for the Lord is truly going to be closer to you if you want Him to be.
Let us not look at others but know in all things it is a process and God is working it out for all of us.
The truth of me today…
Let me stick with this subject, Minister Merv can actually see angels and the demons, he can tell me when they are here but I most times I already know that they are because I can feel them. It is awesome to feel the presences of the angels as it is as if God sent them to calm me or soothe my spirit. I have been in the spiritual presence of God, which I truly love as He comes to be in the midst of His people when we praise Him.
I want to see the angels but not the demons but you can not open up to that side of the Lord without seeing it all. I can feel the presences of angels and the presences of the demons, so I think because I can feel their presence that is why I do not want to see them. I am praying to turn that fear into victory and not allow what they represent overcome my mind. I know that God is preparing me and for this I am grateful, I want to experience whatever the Lord has for me and I want to truly be what He wants me to be.
I struggle at times with where I am in Him, beating myself up for I feel I should be farther than I am in Him but yet, He is showing me that I am where I am because I am His child and He is directing my path. Thank you Lord for loving me!
In all things to God be the glory…Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight oh Lord my strength, my redeemer. (Psalms 19:14)
Have a wonderful day in Jesus.
May God bless you and you accept the blessing He has for you.
