Today

These past few weeks have been so intense God-wise. He is sifting His people and raising up a remnant to usher in this coming revival. I'm so humbled at the favor on my life. I have SO MUCH to share, but i'm just going to talk about today for now. hopefully i'll come back and update about the past few weeks soon :)

I got 4.5 hours of sleep because God had me up all night encountering me and my friend Desiree. He had angels stationed around us and was speaking into us and pouring out His Spirit. Church was so intense today. That's a whole story in itself, but God was there and moving and pouring out and raising up and purifying and setting apart.

After church, I was supposed to go back to my spiritual mother's house to get my stuff (I spent the night there), but one of her daughters had locked the house and went out to lunch and wouldn’t be back for at least an hour. I started to get mad and offended that she forgot and that my day was being inconvenienced (can someone day ridiculous? so much selfishness that needs removed! ah!) I then decided that it wasn’t worth it to get upset because it would put distance between me and God. I died to myself :) I was like OKAY GOD, I KNOW THIS IS A TEST, AND I DON'T LIKE IT, BUT YOU'RE IN CHARGE! I then prayed that God would let me get into the house somehow, and I felt like He told me to use a credit card. I tried it, and the door popped open in 2 seconds or less. (I tried this again when I got home today, and I could NOT get it to work… GOD’S GRACE TO LET ME INTO DAWN’S HOUSE!) I got my stuff, and on my drive home, I saw a woman with a sign asking for money. I felt God told me to stop and pray for her, but I kept driving until I knew I was being disobedient and therefore cursing myself. I turned around and ran across a busy highway to her. I introduced myself and asked for her name (Lori). I told her I didn’t have money, but she asked if I was wanting to pray for her. I said yes! She told me her situation, and I prayed for her for blessing and prosperity and for healing in her toe and that she would have Jesus revealed to her. Immediately after I prayed for blessing, a woman drove up and handed her cash. I told Lori that the blessing was starting already and that God loved her SO MUCH that He made me turn around to pray for her. She started spilling to me all these things she wanted prayer for. She did tell me that she is saved. She said that I was glowing and that she could see God all over me.. that I looked like Jesus. IT WAS SO COOL! I felt so awesome afterwards, and it is cool to know I’ll be blessed for my obedience. It's fun to be the hands and feet of Christ. It's even more fun to think that if I hadn't been locked out of Dawn's, I would have completely missed the woman with the sign because my timing would have been off. God's ways and plans are so far above ours. I usually have such a fear of man and of evangelism that is paralyzing, but today was a breeze. God's grace is so amazing.

I came home and had love overflowing for my family. it's usually hard for me to love them. I could literally see the love affecting my family for the good and catching fire in them.

It’s so awesome walking in what you know you’re supposed to walk in - walking in your purpose. I feel SO highly favored.
