Experiencing God – yes you can!

So I have been thinking about you all that visit here on this WordPress site. I also am going to step up my prayers for you. Why? Because I know that you are called and appointed by God and destined to be here at this time in history. Yes, you!!! That is one of my all time favorite attributes of God. He shows favor to anyone He wants. Our acceptance by God is through us accepting what His Son came and did for us. Jesus makes us worthy to be in the kingdom of God – not our works – our belief.

Anyway – I want to help you if I can. I have been on a 40 year journey and have seen many miracles and encountered so much of the miraculous presence of God. I want you to open up an HOPE. That God wants to reveal Himself to you in some of the same ways He did in my life. The Bible says He is “no respecter of persons”. If you seek Him like I did you WILL get results far above what you could expect.

I pray you will read this little excerpt from my story and realize God has assignments for you too. I want to set this before you so you will know that God wants to do for this generation as He has done in the Book of Acts. Here is a modern day story from my little life that shows – God will show up for those who seek Him and desire to obey Him. So here it is:

ANGEL AT THE TIME CLOCK

Now I fully believed that we have angels working with us.  I had just never seen one with wings on the earth, until that day…

I went to work in the small little town of Greenville, North Carolina.  I worked at a place called S. & S. Cafeteria and it was located in the towns only mall. I drove the ten or fifteen miles to work with the radio on trying to get ready for another mundane day.  I arrived on time and began walking down the hallway towards the time clock to punch in. 

Out of the blue, for a moment,  my eyes were opened to the unseen realm.  The spirit realm.  Lo and behold right before my eyes, standing beside the time clock, was a beautiful giant angel.  He was tall, maybe ten feet or more,  and glistened like gold.  He had wings that reached to the ceiling and was so majestic looking.  It was not a frightening experience, but it startled me because it was so unexpected.  Then quickly, the vision closed, but I knew he was still there. I was aware of what the Bible teaches about the gifts of the Holy Spirit located in chapter 12 of the book of 1 Corinthians.  That at times when the Holy Spirit desires to, He can open your eyes so that you can see what is in the spirit realm, it’s called “discerning of spirits”,  and that is what I had experienced.

All day long I wondered what the Angel was there for.  Was he there to prevent an accident?  A robbery?  My mind danced around like crazy with curiosity!  Finally, I took my lunch break and sat down at the table with my Bible.  As I was eating and reading, a young man came and sat down abruptly across from me and looked me square in the eye.  He said, “I heard you were a Christian”  I said, “Yes I am.”

He excitedly said, “What must I do to get saved?”   Well, here it was!  I knew the Angel was there to see to it that this event took place.  There is no greater miracle than the new birth, to become what the Bible calls “born again”.   When someone accepts Christ and has their name written in the Book of Life.  After showing him some scripture and briefly explaining salvation, I prayed with the young man at the table to receive Jesus as his Lord.   I also asked him to meet me after work to talk about the baptism in the Holy Spirit which he was excited to do! I figured he needed the whole package!

The young man did meet me in the parking lot after work and received the baptism.  It was incredible.  I felt like I was living in the Book of Acts!  The Holy Spirit descended on him and he was filled with God’s presence and spoke in tongues right there in the parking lot!  Never think God is limited to a church for a holy experience to take place!  The whole earth is filled with His glory!

  I knew that this had been a divine appointment. A special one because God allowed me to see the presence of the Angel, although they are surrounding us in the spirit realm all the time, especially if we are believers.  This man’s life was now transformed.  I don’t remember his name, but I saw him a year or so later and he said he was going to Bible school to be a minister. He wanted to be a Pastor.  I knew God was taking good care of him and it was a blessing to have been allowed to take part in his journey.

How cool to think of the angels involvement in our lives.  All going on around us in the unseen realm!  They are around you too!  The more we pray and walk in faith….the more they are activated around us!

Hebrews 13:2  “Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.”

1 Corinthians 12:7-11   “ But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:  for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit,  to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,  to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.  But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.

CALLED TO ENTER (poetry)

Think not that God doesn’t know you

That He doesn’t see your life

It is He that has fashioned and made you

You are centered in His eye

You are His creation

And He makes all things well

Though it all may seem a mystery

In time the truth shall tell

He made you for a purpose

Yes you fit in His divine scheme

As perfect as a puzzle piece

That completes His heart felt dream

His heart, it longs to know you

And for you to know Him too

He invites you to this journey

But He won’t force you into

He longs for deep communion

Just between you and He

He longs to open up your eyes

To things only He can see

Fulfillment is in intimacy

That can be found in Him

As you take the steps on earth

To seek Him once again

You see at once the enemy

That tries to cloud your soul

He wants to take you down with him

Into the eternal Sheol

Don’t let the lies get to you

That’s contrary to God’s Word

Let the Bible lead you

The truth that you have heard

So like a giant treasure

You must choose to seek

Determine you will find it

Until your life’s complete

You are His great diamond

Only one of it’s kind

He made no other like you

This truth He wants you to find

So determine now to see Him

Look into His word

Call His name in the darkness

And KNOW that you have been heard.

ALL OF OUR TEARS COLLECTED IN LOVE- (poetry)

Tenderness
Cocooning all around
A life with much pain
Will receive such a crown

All of the tears
Collected in love
Gentleness sees
Observes from above

All of the days
You thought you were alone
Never a moment
Just a breath from His throne

Tender loving Father
I wish we could see
Unravel the layers
Of seeming debris

Things we’ve considered
Of little report
Are the things heaven sees
Receives great reward

Small acts of kindness
Trickles of love
Never forgotten
Peace like a dove

Acts of forgiveness
In the face of such hate
Makes the Father smile
You’re a champion at the gate

Psalm 56:8,9
“You number my wanderings;
Put my tears into Your bottle;
Are they not in Your book?
When I cry out to You,
Then my enemies will turn back;
This I know, because God is for me.
