Last night, my whole squad and I went up to the rooftop of the place we are staying at and began to worship. The Holy Spirit was up to some special kind of work in me, however; not at first.
While singing the first few songs, I was so distracted. I knew what my distraction was caused by but I couldn’t get rid of it. I asked the Spirit multiple times to help me take this thought captive so my eyes and mind could be fixed on Him. But instead.. we finished singing and I felt a pull to go stand alone, facing the city.
So I walked over, kicked off my shoes and stood, waiting. Then a few of my awesome squad mates decided to sing some more, whatever the Spirit was leading them to sing. Continuing to stand there, my eyes were shut with tears streaming silently down my face because I couldn’t get rid of this thing. I began to become distraught with God and myself. I told Him I wasn’t moving my feet until He got rid of this distraction for good – thinking that He would just cave into my stubbornness and get rid of this thing.
Song after song after song, I became more able to focus. Soon, without me even noticing, the distraction was GONE. Hallelujah!
But He wasn’t done….
I was just soaking in all the lyrics of each song when the Spirit gave me this perfect picture. I was wearing the most breathtaking dress ever. It was a floor length, all white lacy gown that fit so perfectly. On my head was the prettiest gold crown with a few diamonds and/or jewels of some sort throughout it. As I began to walk through this huge ballroom, my eyes immediately fix on Jesus. WOW! My mouth drops open and I am in complete awe of Him. I then begin to walk ever so quickly over to Him. He picks me up off my feet and we begin to dance, all over the ballroom. Everything about this moment felt so good to my soul. I was exactly where I needed to be and not a distraction or a worry could take that away from me. I felt an overwhelming amount of joy and peace. I never wanted to leave this place.
Then my eyes opened. I was back to reality. Same spot on that rooftop, just an hour and a half later but changed. I looked beside me and there was Jesus. Just standing there with His arm around me giving me a big smile.
He is my safe place.
