Some strange,but great things,have been happening since a few days before I started a Fast 3 days ago.The first thing actually happened 1 week ago today.I was enjoying an episode of Joyce Meyer's "Enjoying Everyday Life" that I had DVRed while breastfeeding JJ when she mention being bold in your prayers and letting God prove Himself to you.Then she went on to explain a time God answered her on an issue she was having...with an actual answer.I thought to myself.I want a Word from God,I want Him to talk to me.So right there,right then I boldly prayed for that.
Then on Thursday morning I was just starting to wake up and I remember that the very first thought in my head was "John 4:4",and then I thought ok,I can remember that I will look it up when I do my morning devotionals.Then it was "John 4:4-26" and I was like ok,God,REALLY?? All the way to 26??!!?? How am I going to remember that,and why to v26???.Then I started to doubt it was from God.
I always get to work an hour and a half early on Weds. and Thurs so I use that time to read.I was sitting there drinking my coffee and letting the "fog" lift from my eyes and head ;). When John 4:4-26 popped in my head.So I looked it up.Saw that is the story of the Samaritan Woman!! That really touched my heart.What touched me more was the last verse,verse 26,"26Jesus said to her, I Who now speak with you am He."
AMAZING!!
Ok,then last night while I was sleeping..kind of. I was hearing some of the things I have been reading ,watching and listening to running in my head.At the same time I had such Joy.I felt like jumping and dancing.I just kept thinking (while the replay of my studies was playing) " I love God!!""God is Amazing!!" I am enjoying every aspect of this Fast.I am still not sure whether I am loosing my mind or not...and I don't care.I am in love.





I'll forgive you Stephanie...if you do well the rest of the month. And I'm sure you will. Isn't it awesome how God speaks to us? When least expected. The power of prayer and revelation is so awesome! Aren't you glad you read it?
ReplyDeleteI am :D Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! My best enlightenment actually always comes to me during the night. If I'm too lazy or cold and I don't get up to write/journal it, I lose it and forget exactly what it was when I wake in the morning.
