Good morning my most Wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much! It is such an honor to be able to greet you all this morning. I was having a few thoughts about a few different short testimonies that I thought I would share with you all.
Dear LORD God Almighty. We come to You this morning with humble hearts full of love and gratitude for Who You are and for Whose we are since we belong to You. Thank You for choosing us. Thank You for blessing us. LORD by blessing us, I mean; not just with material things. Those are awesome, I mean with health, presence of mind, relatives and relationships, the very breath of life that You give us, the ability to read and hear, to talk and walk. We love You LORD so very much.
Thank You LORD that here in America, we can turn on a switch and lights come on and turn a handle and water pours and light a burner and we can cook on the stove. Thank You for the sweet melodic sound of Your creation the birds, the aroma (therapy) of Your flowers, the majestic beauty of Your mountains, the serene and surreal captivation of Your sunrises and sunsets. You really perfectly planned out a perfect life for us LORD. I am sorry that we have gone astray.
Please LORD, call Your people unto You for the first time or back to You to remain and bask in Your Perfect Love and an intimate relationship with You LORD. Change our hearts of stone LORD into pure gold for You. Give us the desire to help others in other countries as well as in our own back yards. LORD there are so many hurting people. Give us Your Provision to be Your Heart and Hands to a hurting people. If we all just gave some all that need could have some. There should be no reason why some people have no clean water and suffer from malnutrition! LORD help our hearts to break for what breaks Your Heart. We love You LORD, we praise Your Holy Name. Thank You in advance LORD. In Jesus Name Amen!
My first short story to share with you all is about a wonderful Christian woman that I once knew. We were both so very young, I think 19yrs old. We worked together as waitresses in a Soul Food Restaurant. ( I was referred to as the “blue eyed soul sister”. (I don’t have blue eyes and they had never had anyone exactly like me work in this restaurant.)
She told me one morning that God had told her the night before to move her station-wagon from where she had parked it over to the other side of the parking area. She did this and a little while later she went outside to take out the trash and there were flames of fire all around her car but her car was untouched.
I asked her to clarify this story because the way that I was understanding her story was; God must have told her to move her car away from the area of the fire to a place where it would be safe. (Right?) She told me no, that was not the case, that God had told her to move her car to the place where the fire then started and her car was unaffected.
I did not get this at all back then. Why would God tell someone to move their car to a place where a fire was going to happen? Of course God would know that the fire was going to happen. This did not make sense to me at all.
I totally get this now. God was showing her His miracle, His glorious POWER. She moved her car to the place where it would have been consumed by the fire but God protected her, her children, her car, the entire apartment building and all the people who lived there.
God did a miracle on that day kind of like the miracle He did thousands of years prior when Moses saw the bush that was on fire but was not actually on fire. Fire was in the bush alright but the bush was not consumed.
ISAIAH 55:8-9 “FOR MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS, NEITHER ARE YOUR WAYS MY WAYS”, DECLARES THE LORD. “AS THE HEAVENS ARE HIGHER THAN THE EARTH, SO ARE MY WAYS HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS AND MY THOUGHTS THAN YOUR THOUGHTS. ” (niv)
Well Family, I need to conclude this “short story sharing session” for now but I will pick it up again. In the mean time, I want you all to know how very much I love you and most importantly Jesus loves you. I pray for all of you and your salvation and the salvation of your families for all generations. May God truly bless you and protect you and may His face shine upon you and my family too, I speak deliverance and freedom from bondage over their lives also. Freedom to fulfill the purpose and destiny that God created them for. None of us are here by mistake.
