I'll share a neat story with you that just happened to me last week, regarding hearing from the Lord (which was 'outside of my box' until the last several years - but shouldn't His sheep hear His voice? - John 10). So, my friend Becky has a real passion for what she calls “Inner Healing” ministry. Basically, praying together, sharing your life story in detail, then your friends (who are there to minister to you) listen and share what they’re getting from the Lord, so He can reveal things to you for healing/transformation. Becky had been feeling the Lord telling her to offer that ministry to me, and I was thrilled. We did it Sept. 1st, and it was an amazing night. The Lord revealed so much to me - His plan for my life, and how Satan had an opposing plan. The Lord is setting me free from a lot of stuff that I didn't realize was weighing me down - yay!
Becky had encouraged me to pray the week leading up to it, for preparation - that the Lord would reveal things to me, etc. So, I did that. Then as I was driving to meet up with my three friends (including Becky) who were going to pray for me, a neat thing happened. On the way, this song played on the radio - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1YLXWANhvI – which I’d heard many times before, but never paid attention to the words. At one point, the words became crystal clear to me and were spoken straight to me heart. I felt that the Lord was speaking that specific section of the song to me.
I arrived at my friend’s house, and we started the Inner Healing session. It was all very pertinent to what the Lord spoke to me through that song. So, at one point during our prayer/discussion, I shared that I felt the Lord speak something to me on the drive over which tied in to what was being revealed. They asked what, and I explained about the song, and I sang the section that the Lord spoke to me:
“..got a couple dents in my fender - a couple rips in my jeans. Try & fit the pieces together, but PERFECTION is my enemy. On my own I'm so clumsy, but on Your shoulders I can see, I'm FREE to be me.”At that point, my friend Becky reached behind her and grabbed a sheet of paper. On her drive over (1 hour & 45 minutes in traffic!), she had heard the same song, and the Lord told her that the words were meant for me (that specific section that I had just sung!). There it was – scribbled on her paper (quite scribbled, because she wrote it while driving – ha!!)... the exact section of the song! How encouraging to have the Lord speak just what I needed to hear in preparation for our night. He is so good and faithful. : )
I'm a child in this journey, but I'm so glad that my ears are opening & I'm learning to recognize His voice. I hope this story speaks to you in some way! He is VERY real - He is CRAZY about you - and He does still speak and move in powerful ways.
May the Lord bless you & keep you,
Rebecca
