I have been working on my obedience with God. Especially when it comes to healing. Yesterday, during SOE prayer, he showed me a picture of Elijah laying on top of the sick boy and breathing into him and then showed me Jamie. She has been sick for the last couple days, really sick. So I kinda chuckled. Did God really want me to go lay on top of her and breath into her? So I asked God to speak to me clearly cause that is just weird. He asked me, "Do you not think that I can use you to heal her? How much longer are you going to let her suffer and not go pray for her?" That hit so hard. I prayed for a min more in the Spirit. I said okay God, I will go. Boldly and with out hesitation. I left right then and there in the middle of prayer and headed there. Turns out that all three girls were sick and I prayed for them each and it was amazing. Two of them ended up coming to class that day afterward. On my way home God showed me that even in acting in obedience that I must act with persistence. The prayer wasn't a quick one at all and I pushed in faith for healing. Just like Elijah, it wasn't till the third time praying for the kid that he laid upon him and breathed into him that he was healed. I wont just be obedient, but I will be persistent in my obedience with faith.
I'm working on a sermon and have been reading about the story of Moses. I can't count the amount of times that I have heard, read or watched a movie on the story of Moses. So my initial thought, when God told me to read it, was the fact that I already know the story, but as I have been reading it God has been faithful to show me the story in a whole different way. I have always put moses up on a pedestal growing up. But as I have been reading I realized that he was just like us. God spoke to Moses, through a burning bush, and told him what he was called to do. Several times Moses said why me, ask for someone else to do it and or said there was no way he could do it. My thought was, what a wimpy Moses!!! Even after God showed him what he could do with the staff he still was a wimp. He was human like us, but my desire is that when God calls me I wont act that way but I will step out in Faith and do what he has called me to do. I don't want to pull a Moses, in that instance, but he ended up being a great leader and doing what the Lord has called him to do. I do still admire him for other great things.
Lord let me go with out hesitation and boldly doing your work.
