A few Sundays ago, as Jet and I were worshipping in church, the Lord spoke directly to my heart. Unable to describe the moment in any other way, all I can say is that it was like he was standing beside me, whispering directly in my ear.
It came out of the blue, stirring something akin to an "amen" in my spirit. Though the feeling was as puzzling as it was exciting. And, at this point, weeks later, my mind still continues to grapple with all that his words meant.
The Lord said: You have the Gift of Faith, especially in regards to the lives of your children.
Ten years ago, He first told me that Faith was a gift in my life. Right after I prayed for a lame woman to walk for the first time. ...and she did. So on one level, I've known it. At least in terms of it being manifest in my life off and on over the last decade.
But to have God take the time to reaffirm that it's a Present Day Gifting in my life...AND to direct me to pray bold prayers over my children's lives is beyond exciting. A little bit baffling, yes. But overall awe-inspiring.
I feel as if he's given me direct access to the Throne Room, especially in regards to Charis, Selah, Raegan, and One-who-remains-in-my-womb.
And that is amazing and intimidating to me all at the same time.
So here I sit, knowing what God spoke to my heart. but unsure as to the full impact of the statement. But then again, I tell myself...it doesn't matter that I don't understand the ins and outs of it, right? It's a gift. And really, who doesn't like a gift postmarked "Heaven"?
Lord, may your heart of compassion and fiery faith fill me. So that I will speak *bold* words of faith over my girls. ...and over those that are hurting and hopeless. May my words bring Life to those around me. Just as Yours did when you walked the earth in Full Faith of what the Father was doing.
