I love how He interacts with me! I love how sometimes He just comes to me in a way that seems "normal" or "relational", instead of me being the small fleshly human being and Him being the great big awesome God that He is . . .
I have been visiting a church (more often than not) while I've been without a "home church".
They had a plan for a 24 hour prayer festival where for 24 hours they would tag team==== indiviudals or couples taking hour shifts.
For a couple services at least, maybe a couple weeks I kept seeing two 1 hour shifts that no one name was on. I wondered the 1st time I looked, and a second and probably a third. Let it go.
Between me and the enemy, all the reasons that maybe I should not volunteer kept popping up. Still, there it was, empty.
The night before this was to take place I apparently still was questioning . . .
But obviously, it did hit my thought wave.
So I said, "Lord, if You reeeallly want me to go, . . . then You let me kow it's You . . . like wake me up at 3:00 a.m. . . . . If You wake me up at 3:00 a.m. then I'll know it's You and I'll go". Went to sleep
Woke up. Layed there for a moment, then reached for the cell.
3:00 . . . SIGH_______________________________________________________
"Okay"-
& Here's something further and kinda neat.
I got up, went the restroom, washed my face, brushed my teeth, got dressed then layed back down for a moment--- grabbed the phone again. . .
& I sware-- it said 3:00 a.m.
What???????
Guess maybe He was making a point. -But didn't feel at all like He was annoyed with me, . . . more relational . . . like He was poking me . . .
I imagine laughing.
So I went to the church. & I took my music. Since I am not a member there I asked the Pastor who was there with the Leader of the Prayer Team if tongues were allowed.
Explaining--- that I do know that when in a "house" you have to adhere to the authority God put over it. & Also knowing that sometimes, in fact often, I do not know what to pray, but the Spirit always does.
He said the particular denomination does not believe in that for today---but what I was speaking of was my prayer language . . . and to "pray as I felt led".
Thank You Lord- Thank You Pastor Bobby-
Anyway, did pray, and sang and felt like God spoke to me about some things - mostly about that church---- while I was in.
& Mostly it feels like it was "Hey will you come" . . . and then "So glad You made it . . . " and just some time handpicked by God . . .
Just constantly amazed not only that He considers me at all, but that He either comes to me in that real, tangible way or takes me somewhere to meet with Him.
& (Yes, know He is with me always, just sometimes it is much more evident)
But I love how He speaks to me . . . and interacts with me . . . and even plays with me.
