I love how Holy Spirit works in my life; I truly do. I wake up today 11/10/2022 and He directs me to get one of my bibles which is beside me on the bed and He has me while the bible is closed to let Him guide me as to which page to open the bible to. Not always does it happen like this to me. There are times when I specifically hear Him tell me which scripture book/chapter/verse to read. When that happens the majority of the time, I end up reading the entire chapter and sometimes surrounding chapters in that book to. Today I open the King James version of the bible and Ezekiel 2 becomes highlighted to me. That is how I know to read that chapter; I just know when He directs me. No bells, whistles anything like that it is the knower inside of me that guides me through Holy Spirit leading. You must know I am not a bible scholar so there are times I think I might be reading a certain scripture and find out it is not that one as I read on. As I am reading today, I am thinking inside of me oh this must be the scripture where they take the scroll and eat it but as I read on it is not that one. I know there is a scripture that talks about eating the scroll and it tasted like honey. Not today though. Ezekiel 2:9-10 states "And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therin; And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therin lamentations, and mourning, and woe."
In that moment I knew to search through a couple of journals of mine for the day Holy Spirit showed me a scroll while I was exercising on a stair stepper and shown a vision right then and there. Wasn't in the 1st journal I looked through. 2nd journal not in that one either but there was purpose in opening that journal today. I presented at a Methodist youth retreat years ago and I had a new journal, and I asked all the kids and adults in attendance at that retreat to place their name and age in that journal. I shared with them that I would pray for them when I would be in that particular journal. I placed my hands upon that page over all their names listed and prayed for them. That was 26 years ago those names were placed into the journal. Some of those teenagers back then are now 40 years old. The prayers of a righteous man availeth much. I think that is how that scripture verse goes. It was in the 3rd journal in which I found the very writing I entered what I am about to share with you the scroll I was shown in a vision that very day. I wrote this entry 3/10/1996. At this point in my life, I was still a Catholic in which Holy Spirit was doing mighty works in my life. Yes, Catholics can be used by God; pray in tongues and receive visions. How do I know, I was experiencing these very experiences. Too bad the Catholic church did not know how to incorporate these happenings in a person's life into their church. I shared that so you have a bit of background knowledge of where I was in my life when the visions began in my life. I was not a theologian, bible student in bible school, pastor, preacher, deacon, none of that. I was a woman that panted after Jesus and said yes Jesus use me. I give you my life, body soul and spirit I give you my everything. I prayed that daily to Him.
This is what happened that very day. Hope you know how to read cursive because I wrote in my journals the majority of the time and not printed. Another thing I noticed is I would write almost in the form of a letter, and I would sign my name along with a closing. Like when writing a letter, you may sign it Sincerely then your name. In this particular entry I signed it "Forever Resting In Your Grace." Sometimes I would sign my proper full first middle name, other times just my proper full first name and even sometimes I would sign it with the shorter version of my first name. Isn't that interesting. On this particular day I signed My full first and middle name. This is taken right from my journal ... How interesting is this, I just received a Holy Spirit ah hah moment. I signed with my middle name that day and guess what? My middle name means grace how cool is that. I probably had no clue back then of the meaning of my middle name. See, God is ever speaking to His children still this very day. Listen and He just might speak to your heart today too.
