Yesterday, 6/8/2024 was an early day for me. I was up around 5:00AM and had a busy morning. All done prior to me going out to a local farmers market round 10:30AM. My friend was on the road heading back home by 7:00AM. In my kitchen @ the kitchen table ministry took place. Literal ministry with anointing our heads with anointing oil. I brought out my bottle of hyssop anointing oil to anoint and pray for my friend. At a point I bumped over the bottle, and it spilled out onto the table, and I said let's just take our hand and scoop it up and we each just placed the oil onto our foreheads.
Through ministry sharing I felt led for us to each pray out loud, not shouting or raising voices I mean, not inward silent type of praying in tongues. At a point we stopped as Holy Spirit led and I shared how she was to write down the interpretation of what she just prayed. She shared she never knew you could ask for the interpretation, so I shared a little to step aside and let Holy Spirit speak through her. I said just write down what she is hearing Holy Spirit speak. She wrote it down then shared the words with me. They were words for her and her family.
I then shared the interpretation I was given since mine was a word not just for my life. He spoke through me to stand like flint and do not budge when standing and speaking a word forth. Don't look at their facial expressions to cause you to not speak the words. Stand firm and speak forth what Holy Spirit is speaking through you be it a popular or unpopular word for those to hear. During our visit for some reason, I shared the Old Testament story of the old prophet lying to the younger prophet, and it cost the younger prophet's life taken by a lion. Disobedience to the word of the Lord's directions given to him cost him his life. I often wonder what ever became of the old prophet that lied, he lied, and it states it like that in my bible translation.
So, before I go to the farm market, I was determined to try making a homemade pie crust again to try and learn to make pie crust dough since it is something I can work on. I had a few of the ingredients still left from making the ricotta squash type pizza and wanted to make it again to take with me today to a neighbor's tea gathering in which we get together once a month with the ladies in the neighborhood. I ran to Publix to purchase more Crisco and ricotta cheese. I also saw in clearance a matzo ball mix and I picked that up too. I make a great homemade chicken soup and I could then make matzo balls instead of making noodles the next time I make chicken soup. I already had laundry in the washer machine and then into the dryer. I made the pie crust and rolled it out on parchment paper and placed it on the cookie sheet then into the refrigerator covered with waxed paper ready for me to assemble the ricotta pizza today and bake it and take with me. Oh, I was going to work on a creative project (meaning to try and make pie dough again) so of course, I played the "Never Alone" CD by James Goll as I was in the kitchen trying to create.
I put the freshly laundered items away and made the beds again with the freshly laundered linens all done before I ever left the house to go to the farmer's market. I purchased a few smaller sized yellow squashes in case I needed them for the recipe and discovered a table where the woman makes her own creative post it notes pad holder with a pen also. They were only 2.50 each so I bought 4 to keep on hand if I needed little gifts to give to someone. I also saw the woman from Owl Hollow Leather Co. and shared how the purple-colored suede leather earrings I bought from her last time matched perfect with the outfit I bought them for.
I am back at home and already ran the vacuum on the floors and was going to sit on the back porch with the birdbath fountain flowing. The noise is so peaceful when I turn the fountain on outside. I had a busy day so far and asked Holy Spirit to speak to me through my bible. I literally opened up my bible and right before my very eyes was 1 Kings: 13. I called my friend while she was driving and almost home by now and shared about the conversation we had about this very scripture. See, when you tuck the word of God in your heart it will come forth when needed. I confirmed with her how I mentioned it was a lion that killed the prophet right. She said yes, I did. I was just going to leave it @ stating the scripture where it is in the bible then I said would you like me to read it to you while you are driving and that is what I did. Amazing, of all the verses in the bible that I opened it up to the very story I shared over the visit. People, for Holy Spirit to zone in on this very scripture 2 times within maybe a day or so I do believe He is speaking caution to us.
Do not let your ears be tickled by tickling/flowery words they may be speaking into your ears because they are using those flowery/flattering words to dissuade you and keep you from doing all that God has planned for your very life. They are tickling the ears so slyly so then they can fulfill their very plans through letting you think what you are doing is the plan for your life but in actuality it is to fulfill what they want to do in their life. This is a sneaky/deceiving one and you better nip this in the bud or you just may find out your life and ministry could be or become compromised. Your first allegiance is to God Almighty not to flattery words being spoken into your life. Uh oh, there I go thinking out loud again. I then also sat on the porch and read a couple of chapters in the book "Triumph" or something like that as the book title.
I discovered the Joshua Simone video last night and then viewed a portion of it again this morning. I viewed a recent video from Jennifer LeClaire's ministry also this morning. May you be blessed by them both. I wrote down some words of wisdom Jennifer shared in her video, "Bring this person to repentance or expose the evidence." Another piece of the puzzle given to me in praying the prayer that has now been tweaked to zone in on what I have been praying and fasting for all along, but these very words make it a more precise prayer to pray in faith now. I told you God is good all of the time. It was Holy Spirit timing to now give me a more exact prayer to pray. Let's see what happens. I prayed it today and spoke names to fit into this very prayer prayed. Amen & Amen.
