The Journey Begins

Thanks for joining me!

Hearing the Voice of God

If you’ve ever questioned or wondered if God speaks to us personally, then please read on and let me share with you how this part of my journey began. Almost 6 weeks ago on a Friday night, I was going to bed. As I started to relax, a very clear thought came into my mind, totally out of the blue. “You have a lump in your breast.” But I didn’t listen and went on to sleep. The next morning, without even a thought of what I had heard the night before, my hand went right to the lump. Like an arrow goes to its target, my hand went right to the lump reminding me of my thought the night before. Yes, I was shocked.

This was my loving Father, through Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit speaking directly to me. He is so intimately involved in our lives and He loves each of us so much and what He desires above all is relationship with us. This isn’t about religion, but about relationship with a very real, very much alive, very much engaged God. He is all loving, all caring and all faithful.

He reached down many years ago and pulled me out of a pit and my life has never been the same. If you don’t know this God, Father, Son, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit, please don’t let another day go by without calling out to Him. He hears you, He loves you, and He wants a relationship with you.

The words in my mind that night were from my loving Father, through Jesus Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit speaking directly to me. Not only did Jesus Christ speak to me, He directed, maybe through an angel, my hand to go right to the mass.  He is so intimately involved in our lives, and He loves each of us so much and what He desires above all is relationship with us. This isn’t about religion, but about relationship with a very real, very much alive, very much engaged God. He is all loving, all caring and all faithful.

During the last six weeks, I found myself at multiple doctor’s offices, testing facilities and eventually in a breast surgeon’s office scheduling surgery.  I have received prayer from the elders at our church and several groups of friends.  The Lord took me to City Life, a gathering in the name of Jesus Christ of young men and women in their 20’s and 30’s.  There I received prayer, and then a young man in his late 20’s or early 30’s gave me a mighty word from the Lord which has filled my heart with faith, hope, and life (which I will talk about in a later post).

Tomorrow it will be a week since the surgery to remove 2 masses followed up with a section biopsy.  I’ve seen God working in new ways as He has revealed to me clearly, how I am in the palm of His hands.  He has covered me with His peace and grace which have truly surpassed understanding.  I have to admit that I so hoped that I wouldn’t get a call from the surgeon, but yesterday, late afternoon, the phone rang.  It was her.  Honestly, I had thought that if I saw her name come up on my phone, I would totally freak out and fear would take over.  But it didn’t.  The peace that surpasses understanding covered me like a warm, heavy blanket, and THERE WAS NO FEAR in Jesus name. I stood in perfect peace as she spoke the dreaded words, “Both masses are cancer.”

Early this morning, my husband and I met with the breast surgeon to discuss my case.  She was extremely thorough, and went over everything. Again, the peace of God covered both my husband and me.  In fact, we’ve seen this same peace covering our family through most of this.  His covering is not just for me, but for my husband, my family and our friends.  The truth is, Father God, through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, the Triune God, is ALWAYS working a good plan.  He always is doing good for us.  We live in a broken world where sin abounds, where bad things happen to good people, and where we just can’t control and explain many things.  But… it’s in this very place where Jesus Christ comes in and works His perfect plan through saving, healing and delivering us.  He is truly a good, good Father!

Many years ago now, Jesus Christ reached down, took my hand, and pulled me out of the bottom of a deep, deep pit.  He saved me, healed me and delivered me and my life has never been the same. If you don’t know this Triune God – Father, Son, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit – please don’t let another day go by without calling out to Him. He hears you, He loves you, and He wants a relationship with you.

Much love and many blessings to you.

^{Philippians 4: 6} Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ⁷ And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
