Philippians 4:13 ESVI can do all things through him who strengthens me.
I tell you, when you ask Father to give you a push He surly
does!
Thank you to those of you who are praying for me in this
area of obedience. I truly feel your prayers! Let me explain a bit.
Since I have been asked to run this House of Prayer and our
churches prayer chain Father has really laid a load on me, something I am not
use to at all. I love to pray and am very honoured to pray for anyone anytime
and all of the time. What I am not comfortable with is a large group of people
interactions. I am an one on one person and even then that can be really
stretching me. I get emotionally and spiritually exhausted and need time alone
in order to recuperate. If I can pull away from the group and just hover on the outside I usually do well but if I am the center of attention I get totally woozy and icky feeling. This was definitely a woozy and icky feeling!
This past Friday I held a meeting for those on the prayer
chain and from those who were there, they said I did a good job and we were
able to get a bit of organization done. What I didn’t expect was the spiritual
attack on me. After everyone left I felt so very drained. I turned up the
worship music and fell in a heap on the floor and just wept. I needed to be in
my Father’s presence and I needed Him to love me and fill me up. Soon, my
husband came into where I was, rubbed my back gave me a gentle kiss on the head
and prayed for me.
I am being stretched and it hurts!
I am so thankful for your prayers; if I wasn’t covered I
would never have been able to hold that meeting. My insides were full of
springs and my stomach was in a tumble yet when I prayed and spoke the words
came out clearly and coherently. Even now, as I type, I am just weeping at the
faithfulness of Father. Never in my wildest dreams did I believe I could do
what I just did. I do admit, though, I needed the whole weekend to gain back
strength and even yesterday after church when we meet with the youth and young
adults, I had to sneak away to a spot by myself and just soak in Father’s
presence.
Obedience is hard yet when we take that step of faith He is
there to meet us.
I encourage you to take that step of obedience, whatever
that may be, and trust Father will meet you and uphold you.
He is Faithful!
Revelation 2:10 ESVDo not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Blessings,
