Love it when God wakes you up early in the morning answering your prayers.
3:46 AM I woke up thinking maybe I just have to go the restroom, but then came back and tossed and turned for a long time just talking to the Lord. “God do you want me to get in your word right now and if so where do you want me to read God?” I found out the night before that we were going to have to give our testimony in the congregation that morning and when I hear “Testimony” I just think what do I tell these people. I changed my whole thought on testimony I just think of it as something God has been faithful in my life (which duh!!! EVERYTHING). I look back at my life and acknowledge His mighty hand on my life from the beginning and every situation He has saved me. So a testimony of how I ended up here and God brought it to my attention how I ended up on this race. I know right your thinking this should have been a blog from the beginning well sometimes things in my life happen a bit backwards. I love it though! Especially when the Lord has hands on it.
I struggled with hearing the Lords voice for a long time so I thought. You know you go through those motions where you think it’s His voice, but you just are not sure. While my journey of God confirming that I really do hear His voice was mid June on my first mission’s trip to Tanzania/Moshi. Well this is all interesting because what do you know I’m in Tanzania again (who would of thought right?) accept a different city. It just dawned on me that maybe the Lord brought this to my attention exactly where He gave me confirmation that it was His voice all along.
So I was at this conference in mid June of 2008 and there were thousands of people and I remember this woman coming up to get prayer from me and it was pretty overwhelming for me. I just remember there were about twelve of us that day standing in the front in a row and people were called up to stand in each one of our lines, and this was not a few people this was many just standing in line to get prayer for physical healings over their bodies and they were coming in my line. So this women walked up to me and I had a man that was translator for me and he told me this women wanted prayer for her legs that were in a lot of pain and she wanted them to be healed. So I was standing there and I heard this voice inside of me (which was the Lord) but it was that voice where I kept wondering is this you Lord? Or is this just my mind and I’m going crazy? Well the Lord told me to touch her back and start praying so I did. I declared in the name of Jesus for her to be healed. She fell in the spirit and laid there while the presence of God was completely on her and there she laid in peace. Do you know what that looks like? God it’s amazing when something like this happens!!! The first time I fell in the spirit was this last year and I was freaked out and but I have never felt anything more awesome in my life. So the translator asked her how she felt and she said that she was completely healed!!! Praise God!!! I came home after this mission’s trip and never once doubted my Fathers voice again. He is constantly talking to me.
And here I am on the race and serving our God because this is where He called me and I recognized His voice and took that step of faith and answered His call for my life.
