I had restful sleep last night and when I woke this morning I not only saw the image of 100 but I also heard the same . So what does that mean to me...I need to pay attention because it came before me both in image and audible to my spirit. I had to ponder on that a few minutes then the light bulb went off in my mind/spirit. Oh ok I need to make an offering for this amount. The funny thing is that I brought home with me an offering envelope and I already had it filled out for one amount because I originally thought I had the amount to give throughout a conference and it was a break down of cash plus items purchased. I knew to still keep the cash amount on the offering envelope and to add the amount in another form of payment. Know what is funny...the envelope was done in two different colors of ink. Part was in green ink and the other blue ink but I gave away the green pen to a person the night before along with a bible marker that was created by a missionary and I also shared with this person the notes in my bible how this missionary couple read through the bible in one year and they made the bible marker to separate the different sections of the bible for them to go to each day to read according to the guide they shared with me.
At the church service today there was much wisdom flowing and being taught to the congregation. There was a section in which it was addressed that correction needs to be done in I believe they said I thought love and I do recall with grace. I thought nothing of it because I did not think I corrected another outside of this realm. I was peeling potatoes this evening and Holy Spirit brought to my remembrance an incident. I was somewhere and the person stated a date and it did not line up with what I calculated on my calculator, adding it on a piece of paper and then going to counting it with my fingers. My error, instead of going to this person with grace and love I went to another and shared that it was wrong and someone needed to tell them this. I was wrong in that action and now I repent of this very action. I feel remorse right now and tears well up in my eyes. I would not want to be treated like that and I should not treat another like that. I ask your forgiveness, from a sincere and contrite heart.
See, I am born again and filled with Holy Spirit and yes, I love the presence of the Lord but I know when Holy Spirit convicts me and I do not want that to hinder my relationship with Him. See, God truly is a good, good Father and He corrects those He loves. I had an awesome day prior to that epiphany moment and know I still am having an awesome night too. The question is this do you hear and then respond to Holy Spirit when correction is given to you? It is dangerous if you do not. This was a very big lesson learned today about forgiveness.
I just knew deep down inside me today that I was going to have another experience with the Lord as I drove a certain stretch of road today. I did and I stopped to take pictures to share with you. I may not get to them tonight but I will within the next few days ok. I do not know if the pictures I captured will reflect the beauty I saw today. Then there was a surprise tucked in this day also. I saw a beautiful waterfall and I turned around to go back and take pictures. I love the sound of water as it goes down a waterfall. I also saw cotton growing and I was fascinated with that. I stopped by a cotton gin and asked the people next door if they thought it would be ok to go over and take some pictures they said they thought it would be ok and I did just that. Before I did that I asked the lady if she needed prayer and she responded that you can always use prayer. I did right there in a parking lot I asked Holy Spirit to bless them with abundance to all they placed their hands upon for the kindness shown to me.
I stopped at a grocery store and I was wearing my Joan Hunter Ministries sparkling "Miracles Happen" tee shirt. I noticed the clerk at the check out kept looking at my shirt. I asked her if she wanted to ask me about my shirt. She replied she wanted to know the scripture verse also on the shirt. I told her it was Mark 16:18. We then conversed a bit about this and I heard Joey say he got promoted to bread manager and I then congratulated him on this promotion and asked if it was a hard job and he responded no.
I get home and I like to have an organized house to come home to and it was. I unpacked, did two loads of laundry, and a meatloaf is in the oven. It was when I was peeling the potatoes that Holy Spirit spoke to my heart. I feel like a burden has been lifted from me now that I confessed and asked forgiveness. Yes, correction should come in the form of love and of course grace too. Think of it like this...how would you want it handled if it was you, then act the same way you would like to be treated ok. Now, the full blessing can come forth because of a clean and renewed heart. I love Holy Spirit and I love that He loves me so very much so to correct me.
Mark 16:18 "They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." I believe the sincere act of repentance was my "recover." Amen.
