I Had An Awesome Day Of Ministry Today, I Did Learn A Valuable Lesson Also

Be cautious of who you share information with. The less information you share at times the better it can be for you. I shared with more people that I was going to minister today than I usually share with. I like to keep that pretty quiet so as to not rock the enemy's camp and have to battle with a lot of spiritual warfare leading up to the actual ministry. I had to share this information with a few others that I normally do not share with and I believe a door was wide open because of that. Really know who the people are that you share things of this nature with OK. If they are not walking a true path with the Lord it can cause you more harm than it is actually worth. I like being likened to a stealth, sleek and I go in under cover silently do the work and then silently leave the scene with the work at hand completed. Does that make sense? I had to deal with all kinds of little spiritual attacks that led up to the ministry yesterday. It was not like this a few short weeks ago when I also ministered. The difference being was I shared with more people than I should have shared this time. You know people that are close to you can be a hindrance to ministry more than you care to think. Why do people always have to attach a dollar sign to doing kingdom work? It seems to be cheapened when people only think of the money and not the person that is being ministered to and being set free so they can then go forth to do their destiny work for the kingdom. You know, God's ways are far more different than the world's ways. I chose to ask off from work yesterday and yes, I did give up making money so I was available to minister to someone else. I was also freed up in the morning to help my daughter get ready for a wedding she was going to attend. You cannot place a dollar amount on those type of opportunities. Most people really do not get me or understand the heart that I have and compassion I have for others.
There are the moments like yesterday in which you know the power of God was flowing through you and Holy Spirit was hand feeding you information to help the person sitting before you get their freedom. How can you not acknowledge God when He moves so freely and with precision in a persons life? That is the only way I can describe it when I minister, I can sit there with a perfect stranger before me and have a few short minutes to review their profile and then the work of Holy Spirit begins. Sometimes the person is amazed at the questions and thoughts that come forth from Holy Spirit in the midst of ministry. He does that because He wants the person set free so they can then go forth in the destiny that they are called to step into and complete. The beauty of this ministry is that not only does He share things and suggestions to me to help the person being ministered to, He also gives me words of knowledge and wisdom and prophetic words to speak to them during the ministry. God is awesome. When you see the tears flowing and the freedom flowing also you can't help but stand back in amazement yourself at the active handiwork of God.
Today was unique to my ministry and I believe possibly a stepping stone forward into healing, not just the freedom aspect of the ministry. I had a book with me an actual handbook on healing of many different types of sickness and disease. When we were at a certain point I felt led to pick up the book and pause to deal with certain illnesses I did follow Holy Spirit's direction and I am glad that I did. In one of the exercises I stepped out in faith and followed the instruction, a portion of it was to grow out the persons arms. Sure enough one arm was shorter in length than the other and in the name of Jesus I called it to grow forth to line up with the other arm. That is exactly what happened right before both of our very eyes. God is faithful. I'm telling you there is no more exciting place to be than walking in your gifting/destiny. Once a person physically feels/sees/experiences something like that they cannot deny the power of God. AWESOME.
One thing that I do recognize is that I become a bit tired after ministering not because it is stressful or hard it is just because the power and presence of God flows through you. I would have loved to have gone home and rested a bit but I promised my son that I would come and visit him at school because he was in charge of publicity for an event that was held on campus yesterday. I did and I am glad that I did too. Kudos to my son because there was a lip sync contest the other day and his group won first place. You see I had to work that evening but my daughter was able to attend and see her brother in action. God takes care of those that love Him. I could not be there but she was visiting and was able to see it and take pictures too. On this particular visit home my daughter requested of me to make Chicken Paprikash for her to take back home with her for a friend that hasn't had it for a while. Apparently that is a dish that is not easily found where she lives. I was going to weasel out of making it at first when I told her I would just give her the recipe for her to make back home until she retorted that she already told her friend that she was 99% sure that I would make it. How do you say "no" to that? You don't. As you probably know this about me by now, yes I did in fact make it for her. I made enough that we actually enjoyed some for dinner with homemade dumplings too yum yum. Of course, a salad to balance off the meal. Tomorrow I will make another favorite, French Silk pie. I did not leave my son out of this cooking adventure. I did take up to him homemade chicken enchiladas (one of his new favorite's I just made for the first time a few weeks ago) and a snack. I loved visiting with him at school because he is outgoing/very personable and there is always a lot of people he introduces me to and I met several nice young ladies and men today too. It is also good to see some of his other friends that I have met before too. I met one of my daughter's friends the other day that came over to pick her up for their adventure. I must admit that my children hang around with and have really nice groups of friends. That is a welcome thing to a mother or father right? It sounds like I am beginning to ramble on a bit now so I will retire this writing for the day. Peace and blessings to you and yours this very day and until we meet again may "The Lord Bless you and watch over you. The Lord will smile on you and be kind to you. The Lord will look upon you with favor and give you peace." Numbers 6:24-26.
