~~ An Different Experience Yesterday, 05/18/2007~~

Deep.
Beautiful story.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

That reminds me of the first time the Lord sent someone to prophesy a word to me. I was in a Christian bookstore just minding my own business when this woman stepped up to me and started telling me some stuff that only God would have known about. Then she finished it off with some words that literally changed my thinking, and the course of my walk with God from that point on. It totally blew my mind.

Many of us have had similar experiences of our own, but when we go through the valley, we can forget sometimes to look back on those moments when the Lord manifested himself strongly to us.

Even in some dark times I've had since then, I look back to such moments where the Lord has sent someone to give me a word from him. The devil can never take that away from you when stuff like that happens. That's the kind of experience that stays with you for a lifetime.

That's one reason I'm a strong proponent of the gifts of the Spirit, particularly the gift of prophecy .. because I've seen the Lord use it so many times in my own life to bless me. And I'm strongly and eagerly looking forward to the Lord stirring up a renewed outpouring of these gifts in His church in these last days, to the glory of His name.

Amen .

Around three months ago I went to prayer on a Tuesday night, arriving around 7PM and leaving around 7:50PM. Well, as I drove off the parking lot I saw my PDA phone fall from the center divider to the floor. I quickly stopped my car and looked on the floor, and to my surprise I found a strange pen laying on the floor.


I picked up the pen, and found a message written on it, is said "God has made everything beautiful in His time." I thanked God for hearing my prayer and responding. The strange thing was my PDA cell was sitting on the center divider after I read the message, yet I saw it fall.


Well, lately I been going through various situations, seeking God's will. I'd rather not publicize my dilemma on AFF. However, I was sitting in my car yesterday morning within a neighboring city, I was about to go pump gas. As I was looking down and sending a text message I looked up and a man stood by my car window.

It was a Caucasian male, dressed in business casual attire. I rolled down my vehicle's window and greeted him, and then he began speaking to me. This man started telling me my situations. He said I had been in turmoil, weak and seeking God's direction in my life. He then told me God was arranging my steps, and that I will soon see it all come to pass.

The man then lifted his hand and handed me a paper, turned around and walked away. I saw him turn a corner and he was gone. He freaked me out by knowing my situations, something only God knew.


I looked at the paper, and only the following was written "Isaiah 40:29-31"


I then quickly opened my bible to find the scriptures, and it said the following:

29) He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

30) Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

31) But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.


Once again I felt the Lord say " wait on me"

Many years ago over a couple of weeks and during a very stressful time in my life, I had different but just as strange supernatural intervention from God that your story reminded me of.

I would certainly take heed of the word God has given you and take comfort from it. My experience was to let me know that even though I was going through a difficult time that God was with me and going to see me through.
