It was yesterday and the presence of the Lord was very evident to me it started in worship and remained throughout the preaching. It was near the end that the Lord gave to me one of those "bleeps," it is an instant vision of what is to come forth. I am not at liberty to reveal this to you at this time for I know I am to tuck this in my heart for when the moment is right. I came home and rested a short period of time. For you see, when the Lord's touch is upon you it truly does remove some of your own natural energy source from you physically. Our natural earthly body is not created to withstand the true presence of the Lord and that is why one can become drained so to speak.
I spent the weekend viewing three movies. Jane Austen's Persuasion (this was a BBC production); The Importance of Being Earnest and Becoming Jane (Jane Austen's story.) The prior two mentioned have happy endings, the third a not so happy ending in reference to a happy romance ending. This is what I gleaned from all of this. There was a line in the story about the life of Jane Austen where someone asked her what she wrote about in her novels. She responded that she wrote from the heart. I like that answer because I can relate to that for that is how I write. It all stems from my heart and that truly is where Jesus resides. I wonder if she was a born again Christian? I will find out one day when we are in heaven. I would so much so like to see her there for I will have many questions to place before her. She had a choice to make in her life in reference to the man she loved. She chose to not move forward with him. In the end the fears that she had as being the reason she chose to not go with him ended up being false. For he did become a success and he did indeed marry another.
I am being reminded of the dream I had in which I shared with you about the choice I had to make in the dream of either going up the stairs and knocking on the white door and to only find that there were gifts awaiting me behind the door. Remember, I chose to go down the stairs and out the door and then I was robbed. You see, I know what the outcome will be in my life for I chose to go up the stairs in my real life because the dream was a warning to me to not retreat and cower back. I can write the way I do because life experiences allow me this opportunity along with the incredible creativity that Holy Spirit has and allows to flow through me. There are times when I sit down to write and I think it will go like this and Holy Spirit begins to create within me and when it is completed I sometimes am in awe of what is produced. I could never, ever, ever in my own strength write like I do if it were not from divine revelation. Jane came from poverty and in the end she appeared to be amongst the finer circles that she walked with. What I like most was the fact that she was not pushy and arrogant and liked to be low key and not flaunt who she was, a gifted and talented writer. Why I am writing about this today I do not know but I do write.
I awoke from an awful, life-like dream at 2AM. In the dream there was something pulling very hard at my right arm a very strong force I attempted several times to speak out the name Jesus and all I could get out was Je, Je, Je and after several times the word Jesus finally came out. In the moment that I spoke His name the forces tugging and pulling at me broke. I then woke up and turned on the light and quietly said the name of Jesus and commanded it to leave, I then dispatched in the name of Jesus angels to flood my room and remove whatever was there. It left and I contemplated sleeping with the light on but I said no to that garbage idea. I know who I am in Christ and the power and authority in speaking the name of Jesus, I turned off the light and went right back to sleep. Let me tell you that spiritual warfare is real and you better be prepared in the natural for when it hits you in the spiritual you will only act in the capacity that you know of in the physical sense. You see, I was able to command it to go in the spiritual realm only because of the knowledge/authority I have tucked away in my heart came forth. Always be prepared in your life for you will begin to find out on your own that the closer you truly are to destiny that is when the attacks come from the enemy. Be prepared and fast, for that is what I did yesterday. You see, the enemy is not able to know exactly what your destiny is per say but he can sense that it is near and that is when he sends out his forces to try and scare you off. Do not allow him, for greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.
I have a friend that operates in the prophetic and flows with prophetic artwork. She wrote me a note a few weeks ago in which the Lord showed her that I am bold in the Lord. As an exercise to encourage her to pick up the tools to start creating again her prophetic artwork, I requested of her to draw me a rough sketch of what the Lord showed to her. That is what you are seeing today. I seem to appear very intense if you look at the eyes when it comes to ministry. Ministry is not a game to me it is serious work. Just because one takes ministry seriously does not mean that there cannot be fun in their life. Look at my pictures or when I greet you I always seem to have a smile on my face. A person that smiles and smiles often with a sincere smile has a heart that is thankful. Laughter really is good for your heart and well being. Be blessed this very day and don't forget to smile and smile often today. Peace be still I speak to your storms today.
