1/26/13 Woke in the middle of the night to “Come up to me and I will give thee …?” I wasn’t quite sure about the rest of it, but it was so unusual to hear the word “thee” that I was suddenly wide awake!! Where did it come from? What did it mean? Was it an angel speaking to me? Was it God? I could not remember exactly what the rest of this message was, but I did remember it had something to do with “parables.” I began reading the New Testament intently and it became alive to me. Everything I read, even the parables, was easy to understand whereas before it was difficult. Every word seemed to sink into my spirit.
This was the first message I would receive after being baptized two months earlier. Shortly before I received this message, I remember getting on my knees and asking God for more, and that I wanted to press in closer to Him. He knew my heart and would soon begin sending me more messages with increased frequency, even dreams, visions, and supernatural encounters!
Later that same night, I woke to: “Proverbs 6:16”
Proverbs 6:16
For there are six things the Lord hates – seven that are detestable to Him.A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that creates wicked plans, feet that run to evil, a false witness that speaks lies, one who spreads discord (conflict).
6/29/13 Woke to: “Physician Heal Thyself.”
I googled it the next day as I had no idea what it meant. It turned out to be a scripture in the Bible, Luke 4:23, where after healing people in Nazareth, the city where Jesus grew up, the people thought he was simply the son of Joseph. Jesus said, “surely you will quote this proverb to me: “Physician heal yourself!” Then he continued, “Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in his home town.” Was God telling me, this would be true for me? For the next four days, I opened the Bible to this exact same page!!! I believe it was a message to me.
6/30/13 Woke again to: “Physician Heal Thyself.“
After holding prayer vigil over my cousin today and trying to articulate how Jesus had healed me and that she could be healed also, later that night I heard the same words as the night before, “Physician heal thyself.” I believe God most definitely intended this message for me. He wanted to tell me that I am to share my testimony and the messages He has given me with people away from my home town, away from family and friends, for they know me only as their sister, mother, cousin, friend, etc.
Note: I would continue to hear or be shown “Luke 4:23” for three more days.
When I was writing this, I looked at the time and it was 7:17 – the day of my birth. That was the day given me for God’s purpose with my life with all its trials, tribulations, sorrows as well as great joy. And now, He has added miracles, signs and wonders – that I might share those gifts with the world.
What joy I feel at this moment knowing God is with me always (right now I feel His presence) and his smile as I finally get it. A tear drops from my right eye. A sign to me acknowledging the Holy Spirit moving in me. I am ready God. Lead me in this new direction to share my relationship with you.
This day’s message from my Jesus Calling book: “I am working on your behalf. Bring me all your concerns, including your dreams. Talk with me about everything, letting the Light of my Presence shine on your hopes and plans. Do not try to hurry the process; you must accept my time frame.”
12/12/13 Woke to: “Arise and be well.”
12/15/13 Woke to: “Do you think it’s right to let someone you love walk alone without God, among the wicked, the _______?, the ________?, the _______? without telling them the truth?” I was surprised I was not allowed to remember the three words, but I knew I was to tell those I love about the truth (Jesus).
John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I AM the way, THE TRUTH, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
12/19/13 Woke to: “Take Heed.”
I had watched the movie Left Behind earlier that night and in it, an angel was prophesying to people to “Take Heed” when speaking about the end times. I highly recommend you watch the movie. It is old, but I believe it is full of truth about the end times to come.
12/20/13 Woke to: “Take note and be sorrowful.” I believe this message refers to the last days as depicted in the movie yesterday. Again, I pray you take heed and watch the movie or others about the end times. Please google information about the end times, the rapture, and when Jesus will come back. Read Revelation or Matthew 24 in the Bible. There is great sorrow and devastation to come during the tribulation, but if you know Jesus you will be saved.
12/30/13 Woke to: “4679”
I had no idea what it meant, but thought I better write it down, so I reached for my notebook in the dark of night and sleepily scribbled 4679 on a page. The next morning, I remembered what a strange message to receive and asked my husband what he thought it might mean. He said, “That’s your phone number isn’t it?” We both laughed, and he said, “God is calling you!!! Write it in your journal!
Note: I could not see where I was writing in my notebook that night (didn’t turn on the light), but the next day I saw I had scribbled 4679 over the top of words I had written way back in 1993. The words were… instrumental in helping build something to help a lot of people – global. I had scribbled 4679 on top of those words – 20 years later!
