God Is Faithful When You Step Out In Faith To Share With Someone You Do Not Even Know!

Hello today, a few weeks ago I was shopping at a local store. I was browsing in a certain department. I was not trying to listen to a conversation between two employees but it was right there while I was shopping. From what I caught I believe they were sharing about the one person that went on a job interview. I continued to shop and I was ready to check out in line by the cashier. It was in that moment Holy Spirit prompted me to speak to the person that interviewed after I completed my transaction. I approached them and said excuse me. I did not mean to hear your conversation and I inquired if they went on an interview. They acknowledged that they did and then I spoke forth the word of encouragement letting them know that God is opening the door for this position. I then did something that covered my lack of faith in the word I heard from God. First I saw a sparkle in this person's eyes as I shared that word. I then told them that if it was not the job for them God would shut the door and another door would open for them. That is where I stepped out of faith and I realized it as I spoke forth the next set of words and it was as if I wish I could capture those very words and not speak them.
I thought about it as I left the store and I asked Holy Spirit to forgive me for adding to the word because my faith level was just not there that day. I believe that part of the lack of faith level was because of what I am dealing with in my very own life. I am truly walking by faith in my life right now. At times it is easier said then done if I can be honest with you. When one is used in the capacity of encouraging others it comes so easy to deliver the messages but not as easy to receive the very same messages into your life. There are times when I cry out to God why do you not send someone to me to encourage me or bring forth a prophetic word from the throne room of God. Guess what? It is not much longer after my inquiry that God does not bring someone to me but He brings Himself to me and answers my concerns on my heart through the reading the bible or even through a dream to continue me walking in the realm of faith. He has even used me listening to a preacher on TV or the radio bringing forth a message. It has also come to me through a Christian song I hear on the radio or a CD I may have and play. Another tool He gives to me is that He places it upon my heart to seek out prayer from another person too. That has been such a tremendous blessing in my life.
I am not saying I walk without faith in my life I am just saying it is so much smoother to operate in giving a word of encouragement to a total stranger sometimes than seeking the same for myself in my life. Remember, this is a work in progress, an ongoing learning lesson for me in my life. I then share with all of you so you do not fall for the same traps and you become a stronger person that overcomes circumstances. Remember how I shared with you about the ornate mirror frame and compared it to sharing a word of God with another person. Here is my example of that example. The purpose of the mirror is to reflect back to you the image standing before the mirror right? The ornate frame in which it is housed in has no purpose connected with the main purpose of the mirror. The only purpose is for it to add beauty or design to the mirror itself. Remember when I shared with you to compare this example to giving a word of God to another person? The true word of God is speaking forth what He spoke to your heart for this person. That is all that should come forth in the word delivered, nothing added or subtracted from the word. The portion I added would be an example of adding to the purpose of the mirror, the part when I continued speaking on and then spoke of open doors and closed doors. That is my example in living action to help you bring forth beautiful words from God to His people to encourage them.
Even with my blunder God is still faithful. I asked forgiveness in the parking lot that very day for adding what I added and I asked that it would not take away from His word of encouragement to that person. I was in that very store the other day and I saw one of the persons that was a part of the original conversation. It was by the prompting of Holy Spirit to go up to them and remind them of our conversation and ask if the person got the job they interviewed for. They accepted the job and they shared with me the states they would cover in their new position. It was not some piddly type of job this was a good job they accepted. It was interesting what this person further shared with me. They talked about what I said to them even after the conversation took place and they would let that person know that I inquired of them weeks after the initial conversation. You see, God is in control even when I made a blunder by adding to the words He spoke to my heart for that person.
Here is another valuable lesson to learn also. If someone should approach you with a word from God it is also you responsibility to seek Him and only accept the word/words that your spirit agrees with the words brought forth. You are not to receive into your life words that go beyond what you were suppose to receive. That is the wise person that filters words through Holy Spirit to make sure you only receive what you are suppose to receive and not open the door for doubt or words not spoken for you to you. Use discernment in this. Seek Holy Spirit and He will guide you, He is faithful and He truly will guide you just ask. You have not for you ask not right?
