I was ministering on the phone yesterday. I felt the Holy Spirit whoosh go through me as they were sharing somethings with me. I shared in those moments and the ministry continued on. This person has been without a spiritual mom for a few years now, they went to be with the Lord. They shared with me expereinces they had with their spiritual mom and how I was answering questions just like she used to answer. I encouraged her and beleive in what Holy Spirit was speaking to her. She said I was an encourager to her just like her spiritual mom did. She would respond and share that is how that woman would say things to her even though they were coming out of my mouth as being led by Holy Spirit. I then felt led to say that her spiritual mom was probably a part of our conversation for she was a part of the cloud of witnesses. She referred to me as a spiritual mom. How can I be a spiritual mom to another when I bounce things off of my own spiritual mom? That baffles me. I am just going to have to put this one on a back burner and let Holy Spirit show me further. I look at it like this … I just follow Holy Spirit guidance as I share with others. That is who I am and how I am wired. What I have learned and experienced are the things I share with others with Holy Spirit nudging me. I do not seek a title just to share when Holy Spirit opens the door for me to share. Does this make sense to you?
Let me go back to my experience yesterday. Remember I was walking in the gentle rain with Jesus. He gave me a prophetic act to fulfill at the close of my walk along with me singing in tongues on that walk. I felt led to go to Dollar Tree to get the small size package of Combos. I like that they offer a small package and they are only $1.00. I am in line waiting to pay and there was a couple in front of me. When you have been there before you just know when it is taking place right before your very eyes. There was a black younger in age mother that was checking out. I noticed a couple packages of diapers as part of the order. I have been there before and I recognize when someone is counting to make sure they had enough money to pay for their items being rung up. She was searching for I beleive it was change. I could not let someone that was buying diapers go without I just could not do it. I excused myself and asked if I could help with paying for the order. I was going to give up a part of my order if need be to use the cash I had on me to pay for her order. She assured me she had the dollar amount portion to pay for it just not the change portion. I gladly gave the change portion that was needed. I did not see skin color at all in this exchange, I saw one that needed some help and I reached out. I have a heart to help others because I know what it is like to be in line and you are silently adding up the items in your cart to make sure I had enough to pay for it. I remember those days when I was divorced and had to learn to live on a budget to take care of the children. Holy Spirit would go with me into the grocery store as I shopped. I would pick up an item and He would challenge me did I really need that item or was it impulse? A good portion of the time I would put back the item and then there were the times when I would say I really do need that item. Even in shopping for clothes because I like to shop for clothing and accessories He taught me the same theory lesson do I really need it? Also He would ask me if I really did like the item of clothing I was contemplating. I had these ongoing conversations with Him and still do to this day. He let me decide when I would feel those words inside of me and I must admit it has saved me from purchasing things just for the sake of purchasing an item. The key is do I really, really really like it. A little side lesson I just shared with you all. See, if you have been reading my blog you should already know that about me, I share with others to bless them. To help a person not walk down a path because I shared with you how to not go down a certain path because I learned the lesson when I went down that path.
Oh, Summerfest for Jesus will have Kirk Cameron and Selah this weekend. I have a cd or two of Selah's. They will be the worship group concert that night Praise God. I know I will smell the scents of Fall in the air in the evening. I cannot describe it other than a crisp scent that is in the air that returns during the Fall. The other night when walking in the gentle rain I smelled the wonderful scent a pine tree emits when it rains. I like that smell also.
