When God Speaks

Good morning,

I will be taking a test this evening, (State Clerical Assessment Test) I am a little nervous, but I know it will all turn out according to God's Plan. So, please pray that the Lord will guide me through the whole thing and may his will be done.

I would like to share something, Sunday's preaching was awesome, God spoke to me in a way that has kept baffled all week. When I first got saved someone spoke something into my life, I brushed it off didn't think about it twice then shortly after that my husband found two books and brought them home to me and I just put them away (one of the books had to do with what was spoken to my life). When I went to Hawaii we visited an awesome prayer church and again someone spoke the same thing into my life I rebuked the person and told God no way, so we come home and I was feeling bad about saying no to God so I said Lord if this is your will show me what I need to do and let me know that it is your will. The next day I receive a text message to read a scripture so I did and it said " And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him. Who have been called according to his purpose" Well, I just said Thank you Lord but I still didn't receive what was spoken to me. After that I started feeling angry and I was speaking about sitting down from Children's Ministry, I didn't feel God at all and I felt so spiritually inadequate. So God spoke through our Pastor and at Alter call Pastor made three calls (very rare he does that) the first was for salvation, the second was for the believers that don't have a deep relationship with him and want to have a deeper relationship with him and the third was if God has spoken something into your life and you haven't been obedient................so of course I had to be stubborn and say I am not answering that Alter call and the Lord kept tugging at me and I kept saying no.............................guess what the Lord pulled me to the alter himself and lifted my hands and told me "SURRENDER" at that point I just surrendered and asked him for forgiveness............I was just in total submission to Him. I went back to my seat and realized that no one had prayed over me so I said "Lord no one prayed over me" and He said "You don't need anyone to pray over you, you have already surrendered then he said Michele I gave you that heart, you didn't acquire it on your own I gave it to you so you can Glorify me, I gave it to you for My Honor and Glory and I called you to Watch over them and to pray for them all", at that point I told the Lord I was scared but I needed him to remove the fear because I know he doesn't give us a spirit of fear and to equip me according to his will. All of a sudden someone hands me a letter (a letter from God) and it said, God told me to tell you that he loves you and that he knows the works of your heart, sometimes things don't go right but he said that he believes in you now you need to start believing in yourself. At that point I just wept uncontrollably because I knew that it was the Lord that spoke and I knew that I was being disobedient.

What was spoken to me was that God was going to equip me to be a prayer warrior and intercessor......I didn't want to believe that because I am such a chicken when it comes to prayer I can pray as long as it's just me and Him and no one else is around. But what I failed to realize was that we all have to intercede for one another regardless. Also the two books were 1. The Heart of Worship and 2. Prayer Intercessory (what were the chances).

The point to this is that when God speaks something into your life receive it and don't reject him because rejecting the Lord is a sin it is a sign of rebelliousness and disobedience they both go hand in hand.

God showed me even though he was still close to me he let me see what it felt like to be out of his presence. Be obedient and Praise Him not matter what and don't be afraid because he will equip you to follow through whatever he calls you for and when God Speaks we need to really listen.

I pray that this testimony speaks to everyone that reads it.

God Bless you and have a wonderful day.
