Let me take you on a journey, one that I have not shared a whole lot about. Most, if not many, of my blog entries are related to all things organic, sport and chic with family tied in. I don’t know who needed to hear this or read this but here goes.
Supernatural encounter is a hefty title, one that I would only reserve for something of great magnitude. Have you ever experienced something so phenomenal that it could only be dubbed as a supernatural? I personally have only experienced such an encounter on a few occasions, and because it’s so rare, it truly is supernatural. Let me expound on this for a moment.
Several years ago I was in church and during the worship part of the service (while I was singing) and I felt an incredible heat come over me. It was like a hot wave that started from my head and flowed over my entire body. At that moment I heard Gods voice speaking into my spirit to step out and pray with someone. God was very specific and I “tested” him by saying “Okay, but I will only know this is from you God IF we sing one more worship song.” By this point we had sung a handful of songs so I knew we were almost done, and that the pastor would be coming to the stage to deliver his sermon.
God has a sense of humor and wouldn’t you know that at the end of this song, the worship leader said “I feel God moving, and we are going to sing ONE LAST SONG.” I literally was a ball of tears, and my body started to shake uncontrollably. I had to crawl over my husband and a few others to get out of my seat. I know he thought someone had died the way I was acting! I quickly made my way to where this woman was sitting and I laid hands on her and prayed. I prayed for healing, and restoration. She had no idea what was happening until I was done, because I came up from behind her. Luckily she was sitting on an end seat! This was my first true supernatural encounter with God. He used little old me to do something great for someone else.
It was such an amazing experience, I sought God and asked Him to use me, to a work in me and let me be His servant. In my little mind I thought this would be a regular thing. Let me tell you it was not. I would not experience anything like this for several years. It wasn’t until I saw a post on social media from a friend that she was diagnosed with breast cancer and that the cancer was rampant in her body. I spent days praying for her, and one particular day I had that same feeling of heat come over my body and I heard Gods voice telling me to call her. He said to tell her I was to come to her house, lay hands on her and pray over her, anoint her with oil and wash her feet!
Did you catch that?! God said He wanted me to WASH HER FEET!
I thought I was losing my mind because I had never done this before. I questioned this for a bit before I called her but God kept urging me to call. God won, and I showed up at her house with the largest bottle of EVOO that anyone has every laid eyes on. A mutual friend joined us as we did exactly what God had called me to do! Fast forward about 9 months and that same friend was told by her cancer doctors at an appt. that she was CANCER FREE! Not only was she cancer free, but that the tumor they could not remove due to its location, was GONE! If this doesn’t give you chills, then I don’t know what will. This was a miracle from God!
Several months pass and wouldn’t you know another one of these supernatural experiences would happen again? This time it wold involve a complete stranger and his son, who was in the hospital fighting cancer. Just like the two previous stories, I followed Gods urging. I brought my friend that was healed from cancer with me and stood in that tiny hospital room and spoke healing over his body and life over this young man! Two years have passed and this precious teenager is walking in healing and is in remission from cancer! *insert goose bumps for a third time*
So here I sit and think about how crazy good God is. I cannot really put my emotions into words because you have to experience it like I have to fully wrap your brain around it all. I am currently leading a Bible Study group at my church, Priscilla Shirer’s Discerning The Voice of God with a small group of women, and it has been a powerful study! Last week a sweet woman shared with the group of some needs and how she is trusting God for healing. I once again, immediately felt heat come over my body and Gods voice speak very clearly into my spirit. His words were audible as if he was sitting in front of me in the flesh having a conversation with me. “Tell her you want to lay hands on her, pray over her for healing. Wash her feet and anoint her with oil.” I must admit I was hesitant again because I wanted to be 100% sure that this was God speaking to me. I shared this with the group and when the friend started to cry and said she received this, I knew it was from God.
In this study, we have been learning to hear Gods voice, and to confirm His word in our hearts through His word when He speaks. I am very careful not to act on any feelings of my own, but let God lead. In the days that have followed, less than one week, I have received bold confirmations from God that He was speaking loud and clear. The confirmations came by way of “verse of the day” from the Bible app.
Don’t ever underestimate God and his power to bring healing. He can use anyone, you just have to be willing. I leave you with these two verses.
Mondays verse of the day was this:
Wednesdays daily verse was this:
