1 | Speak from the midst of the fire to you? | Acts 9:4 | Mommapbs | 142214 | ||
Searcher - When God speaks to me or gives me a word for someone else, I am not adding to Scripture - what He reveals has always been edifying in some form. Most of the time, what God shows me is non-specific, yet I find that there is a message that is meant to be shared with others. It NEVER contradticts God's Word or His nature. Please read the following and then decide, should I "shut my mouth?" A couple of years ago, my cousin was ill and hospitalized. God said to me one night "Your cousin is broken." Which I understood to mean that she was not going to recover. She died. What did I do with the knowledge? I told my father, who was in the same town so that he could go and minister to her. Another time I had a very disturbing dream about one of my children. I was so distressed that I called a friend to come and pray with me about it. AS WE WERE PRAYING, God revealed the meaning of this dream and I had immediate peace. Both my friend and I were blessed and our faith strengthened through this. In fact, what He showed me has taken place in the life of this child and I rejoice in that! When I read His Word and something stands out to me I find that pondering it often leads to personal direction. The most difficult assignments are those that involve others as I do not want to go beyond what is written. I do not move ahead without confirmation from God, He has been so patient to honor even my doubts in this! At one point I was so bold as to tell God that I would not give a verse to a certain individual unless he asked me for it, and guess what happened . . . even though I tried to avoid this individual, he sought me out and said, "So what has the Lord been saying to you lately?" (Could I be anything but obedient to this?) I said, "Go get your Bible and I will tell you." So Searcher, these are just a few of the ways that God has spoken to me and BTW, you don't have to answer my question. Blessings, mommapbs |

mommapbs, I am praying for you, too. Should you be silent? I don't know. I have the gift of discernment ... which scares me sometimes and when I talk, some don't like it. What I discern are events of the past, even minutes ago. It is God speaking to me. If you speak - you need to trust the Lord that what you are saying is 100 percent true. I think sometimes you need to ask advice to speak or not. I think it could be harmful if you did, as in you cousin's case ... however, you are prepared when an event like that happens. Searcher |
