Move of the Spirit

Last Sunday was simply awesome.

Pastor Gideon led us to wait upon the Lord during worship and encouraged the congregation to move in the Spirit. When I was lost in worship, the following scriptures kept coming to me:

Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest."

1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

Never having demonstrated any prophetic gifting before, I dared not bring forth the word. What if it's me and not the Lord? Fortunately I was taking the offering, so I simply incorporated the verses into my prayer.

Then Pastor Gideon started to preach. To my dismay, I found out (too late) that the two verses were in absolute alignment with his message that morning. When I told hubby, he confirmed that he also received those two verses.

What an opportunity to bless the congregation, glorify the Lord and encourage my pastor! And I missed it.

I repented and promised the Lord that henceforth I shall take the step of faith to speak whenever I receive the word of the Lord. No holding back. Easier said than done.

Lord, hlep me and grant me the boldness to obey you in all things big and small!
