Lately, Holy Spirit has been giving me connections to see prayers prayed answered. You know I shared about 1 prayer I worked on a Holy Spirit prayer for about 1.5 years that was answered. Unfortunately, either the correspondence was not read by the person it was sent to or they chose to not want to do anything in their life to make a change which would result in positive, upswing, turn around in their life. Sometimes that happens. You wait for God's timing to release a word, but you may see the outward signs that they will not receive the words shared. You know what you do in that situation, you shake the dust from your feet and move on with continuing to pray for them. I can be a bit stubborn at times. Meaning when I see someone making crazy fool decisions because they are allowing others to have heavy influence in their lives and possibly re-direct their lives you say to yourself, I am not praying for them anymore and I did just that weeks ago. Then there comes the time when Holy Spirit is brooding over you and composing words through you as the vehicle being used to bring forth the words. This is what can happen, He will then have you start praying the same prayers again for their lives. Like praying household salvation and divine destinies being fulfilled in their lives. You may not understand it at the time but obey Holy Spirit's lead. This situation is no different than following His lead to pray for someone right inside a store. The connector is hearing His voice and following His gentle nudges.
It is all about His timing. Yesterday I had a few errands to run, and I followed exactly the stops to make and when to make them. Get gift card I needed to purchase; I called in advance to make sure they had the J. Crew gift cards in stock and asked where they are located in the store. Went right there to purchase it. Then I already had my package set to go to place in the mail but had to add to it this particular gift card. I had packaging tape with me so I then sealed it up and next stop, post office. Then had to return something to Bargain Hunt and I did that. Off to Ross next for another return item that the lavender shade of color was off with the item I was matching it to wear with. While there I found a clearance piece of luggage for under 30.00 to possibly use as my wheeled laptop carrier. Found 2 pictures to place in a bathroom when I update it with a new color selection of peel off backsplash I ordered to upgrade 2 bathrooms. I found 2 complimenting pictures, and I had a question, so I asked it of a worker doing markdowns, they were both reduced on clearance for under 7.00 each. They will look nice with replacing the current pictures I have hanging up now. Then found a small bag of Russell Stover's @ a great price point for me to take into work to share with co-workers.
Oh, oh, oh this is important in the timeline of sequential event order. My main goal was to first stop to a great eye doctor office to see the owner of the glass frame section. When I go there, they always make sure my prescription is right when the lenses are done with the frames I purchase. Well, this last time they had no frames that I liked for me to purchase. So, I went to another local vision store. At the end of last year to use up my benefits for the year on a pair of sunglasses that are prescription. I went in a few weeks ago to make sure they ordered the correct prescription that the doctor @ this location prescribed for me. They checked and yes, the prescription was correct. Let me tell you this is great customer service and I highly recommend to you this office. So, for this year's insurance I went to a prior glass frames location I patronized in the past prior to finding my current eye doctor. They sort of messed up on an order before and that is how I found my current eye doctor. I thought to myself they have pretty stylish frames, and I took a chance on them once again to find frames and use my current prescription for the lenses. I specifically inquired that they would make sure the lab sent back the glasses with the correct lenses made. They assured me they did. I was driving 2 weeks ago and wearing my new sunglasses in which I knew the prescription was correct and I switched to my new glasses and my vision began to see double. I had to drive home with my sunglasses on that day. Ist indicator the prescription just may be off. Then I wore the new glasses for the entire day and in the evening with wearing the glasses all day long I began to see double images. Even when I took the glasses off, I was seeing double images. I needed to rest my eyes. 2nd time I just knew this prescription was off. I had him look at the new lenses to see if the prescription was correct as the doctor ordered. Sure enough, they left out a portion of the prescription ordered by the doctor. They kindly wrote up a note to the other doctor/frames location with their finding. He did tell me to be kind to them when I shared what was wrong with the lenses because anyone could be off when typing in a prescription to be ordered. I then call the place where I purchased the frame/lenses from and shared how the lenses were examined and the prescription was wrong. I was initially heading in that direction to show them this finding. I even questioned the person checking my lenses if the frames were larger in size would that effect the new lenses. They assured me no and they liked the frames I selected. I told them if they had them at the time I would have ordered them from him.
I received a call and sure enough the lenses made were not made with the correct prescription and they said no need for me to come in because they would order new lenses and let me know when they come in for me to then swipe out the old with the correct lenses. I can still wear the new glasses but don't overdo it since my eyes can become tired and overcompensate and then comes double images. I can do that. See, if I did not receive the phone call, I would have missed my divine appointment as I was leaving Ross. I noticed the woman I prayed for as she was heading into Ross as I was walking out. I said excuse me are you the woman I prayed for at TJ Maxx a few weeks ago, prayer for your sisters-in-law's operation? She said yes and then I asked how it went. It turned out good and this is what touched my heart, her sister-in-law cried when she heard someone prayed for her before her operation. It must have been about a month ago because she shared how she was going in for a 1-month checkup after the operation. The lady thanked me and I said thank Holy Spirit because He was the one that had me to see if you needed prayer for anything when I did pray that day.
So, why do some listen to words spoken via Holy Spirit and others do not. You could say they are obstinate or stubborn. Even they may be listening to the false whisperers thinking they are right, and you are wrong. Makes no difference to me who I am sent to share with be they are open to hear the words or not I just go forth. If false whisperers are speaking into their ears, or they just don't want to admit that people they are surrounding themselves with are using them to get ahead themselves. Setting all that aside, the real reason is called the freedom of free will. You have to choose to really want to be set free from bondage of connivers fooling you or continue to listen to their false lies. Even the elect will be deceived in these last days in which we are living in. Choose wisely and know that God truly does answer prayers, yes indeed He truly does, and you just may be blessed to witness these answered prayers of God's friends He calls forth to pray for others.
