Remember this line from a movie," I see dead people." Lately here's what I have been seeing, I see eleven everywhere I go."
In my sleep when I randomly wake up sometimes I see the time and either has an 11 in the time or it's 11:11.
Sometimes when I am reading in my Bible I can pinpoint chapter 11 verse 11 in a particular book.
I even dream about the number 11!! Crazy you say!!
Well, I definitely see visions from the Holy Spirit coming from the number 11 lately!
God called me to this mission to spread the gospel called The World Race which is going to 11 countries in 11 months.
I have an interesting story which only God can explain what happened so here goes things from my journal of this past weekend!
Friday November 2, 2012 10:50pm
- I walked out of the Wal-Mart and when I sat in my car, I grabbed my Bible and started to think about the yard sale the next day!
- I was praying for this yard sale for God to do His thing tomorrow and to prepare me with the words to say with people He brought to this event tomorrow!
- I have to be honest with you I never was the main person at the yard sale so I was nervous but know I had to give this to God everything and surrender to Him.
- I prayed for God to bring $1,500 tomorrow at the yard sale. I was like WHAT GOD?! Are you serious?! I know you can do all things, but I feel like throwing up right now!!
- God pointed me to read Hebrews 11, there's the number 11 jumping out at me!!
Friday November 2, 2012 11:11pm (Number 11 again!! 11in11)
- I am reading Hebrews 11 and looked at my Iphone and the phone time said 11:11pm while I was on Hebrews 11:11 Wow crazy huh!! This is God! The verse is all about was about Abraham and Sarah wanting a child and because of their faithfulness to God Sarah became pregnant and had a child even though Sarah was well beyond her childbearing years.
Saturday November 3, 2012 6:30am
- I'm at Chick-Fil-A and I had me a chicken biscuit and some coffee while having my devotions before the yard sale at 8am
- I read my chapters for the day and God pointed me to Hebrews 11 again! 11 again for real God!! He pointed me to Hebrews 11:1 which says, " Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
- I prayed and headed down to Fort Mill, SC to the yard sale! (30 minutes from Charlotte, NC)
Saturday November 3, 2012 9:40am
- A couple of young women and Mrs. Smith went inside to do a running count of how the yard sale funds were coming along.
- While they were inside I felt the Holy Spirit to lead me to pray over some couches outside out in the cold. I literally laid hands and asked God to move mountains bascially for the couches to be sold.
- Total funds raised so far $380 we were getting to $1,500 3 hours and 15 minutes left at this point.
DRY SPELL HITS THE YARD SALE!!
Saturday November 3, 2012 10:40am
- Not too much activity went on for the last hour and I was thinking God can still do the miraculous but I knew not enough money was coming in for the goal of $1,500. I was a little nervous at this point.
- I walked to my car and sat for a minute and grabbed my Bible.
- Walked back down and heard our group talking about Uganda and ministry.
- Then I realized God wanted me to lead the group and pray so that's what we did.
- God showed me Hebrews 11:6 yes our friend 11 was back again! This verse says," And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that rewards those who earnestly seek him." This was our prayer to God and I asked him for rainfall on the yard sale.
Saturday November 3, 2012 12:30pm
- We were about to close the yard sale up and Mrs. Smith asked our group to come over and let's give thanks to God for what He has done today! We prayed and gave thanks to God!
- The ladies counted the funds and for the yard sale the total was $640.
- I was okay with being short of the goal because I knew I gave my very best to God.
- GOD had some plan with this brewing the whole time!
- Mrs. Smith said to the group, "Blake you have been such a great testimony to me, my husband, to the small group and to God."
- He is very proud of you and what the work your going to do to impact the kingdom of God!
HERE COMES GOD'S HEAVENLY TWIST ON THIS SITUATION!!
- Mrs. Smith tells me to give the cash to me and at this point I don't know what is going on but God is in control.
- Mrs. Smith tells me her and her husband have been talking to God today and God has spoken to us about your goal for today.
- For your faithfulness to Christ we are going to MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE!!
- $1,500 will be in your account this afternoon!!
- WOW RAINFALL FROM HEAVEN!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!
No explain needed from me after hearing this news I almost cried and I am not a crier normally. I was so thankful and humbled by God in the last few weeks since my pissed off state on October 1st!
God is always faithful in every situation!!
God is always faithful in every situation!!
