Hello John, Doves And Cats!!John and all, we are talking in these last days of dreams and occurances that I believe EL-SHADDI is showing to us. HE is showing HIS GLORY as HE did for Moses when HE hid him in the cleft of the rock at Sinai. We recognise only the back of EL-SHADDAI for no "man can see the face of GOD and live...."
I had been asking YESHUA(JESUS) all year since seeing "The Passion of the CHRIST" to show me in my life where I need work. What HE wants most from me. I had a situation recently that went like this:
On May 12th,(thursday) I had a long day at work and was frustrated, had a headache and was starving. I left work needing an uplifting from THE SPIRIT. I flopped into the driver's seat not caring if all clothing was out of the door's grasp or not. I collapsed spiritually and physically. I started praying, YESHUA, I need you! The last thing I want to think about is "dinner". I know this is a simple request, please find it in your will to help me with this decision, I am exhausted, help me! I ask this in your precious NAME. AMEN.
I thought to myself, what is wrong with me I am asking OUR LORD AND SAVIOR for "dinner tips" HE'S BUSY!!!
I sat there feeling the need to challenge THE KING. I took my white knuckled grip off of the steering wheel and said, YESHUA, YOU decide where I will go for dinner tonight. Then I sat there....YESHUA, I am not moving this car, you will have to. I am giving you total control. I will go wherever you lead.... still nothing. I sat there for 20 -25 minutes. I counted sparrows and pigeons(doves) and butterflies. I sat exhausted, mumbling...I am not moving this car....within 2 minutes my car was in reverse yet I don't remember starting it. HE was off and I don't know where....Suddenly HE pulled into a "Churches Fried chicken" drive thru. I thought Okay, this sounds good!! I rolled down the window and the voice said, "May I help you...? I opened my mouth and no words came out. Again, the voice, Hello, can I help you? I opened my mouth again and nothing. I said, YESHUA take control of this! Suddenly my right foot hit the gas pedal so hard it flew me back against the seat. I felt as if I had just pulled a High school prank! I thought okay...where now? I found myself at my apartment complex driving in a circle not one, not two but three times. HE parked the car a lot further than I would have, but I was greatful HE had decided! I walked up to my apartment and into the kitchen and reached my hand in the cupboard for a can of soup, minestrone. I said hmmmm. sounds good. I heated up this dinner MY SAVIOR had chosen for me asked HIM to bless it and join me in this humble meal. After eating I thanked HIM and found myself face down on my bed loving the two non-judging parties embracing me, YESHUA and my bed. I fell asleep only to awaken still in my clothes but in enough time to take a nice hot shower...
In this instance YESHUA, took control and answered 3 prayers plus 1!!! I had prayed recently for peace in my decisions, sleep, more exercise (yes he parked pretty far off!) and ever since I was 6 years old(here's the plus) I prayed to EL-SHADDAI for a knight in shining armor! Every little girl's prayer.
...And he was riding a white horse.
What I have learned is this. YESHUA OUR SAVIOR is SOVEREIGN. HE always has been, always will be! When we recognise that SOVEREIGNTY we open that door for HIM. OUR SAVIOR is not a "diva". HE will never impose HIS will onto us!! We must not shout on the other side of the CLOSED door when HE knocks, "Come in!!" HE won't respond but wait patiently at the door until we physically (ask for HIS control in our lives) open that door!! We invite HIM to take control by asking him to!
I have learned to trust HIM with yes, the simple and mundane things in my life now because of this. OUR SAVIOR will do the simple and the complex, but we must first recognise and admit, HE IS SOVEREIGN!!! I don't take soup for granted anymore either, after all it was truly a SUPPER WITH THE KING!
Looking up and loving the learning process!!! Kelly in Dallas
