I can remember when God first started talking to me back in 2001 or so. I would hear specific spoken words but never put 2 and 2 together that it was God.
I thought it was me in my own head (if that makes any sense) I really knew it was Him when He started telling me stuff that would happen. That blew my mind.
Then one morning I got a phone call asking me to pray, pray for someone who meant the world to me because they might have a disease. On the phone conversing for a length of time my heart dropped asking (how )?
Praying and asking God to not let what I just heard be true, to hearing Him not respond at all, I mean absolute silence.
Later, that day home alone absorbing all that I heard earlier that morning and asking God questions
I hear Him say to me
to call this person I loved so dearly and tell her not to worry about her daughter that could possibly have Lyme Disease from a tick….. she was going to be fine.
When I called, her daughter answered the phone and I started talking to her and she said to me with no fear in her voice at all, “I know that I am okay, I know that I am fine”, “it’s mommy that’s worried not me”.
When I heard this little girl speak with confidence I knew it was okay just like God said…..to make a long story short I spoke with her mother and told her what God told me …she received it and all I could do was cry because of that little girls faith. And, confirmation came to me by what that little girl spoke out of her mouth with confidence.
A couple of days later they went back to the doctors and she had a clean bill of health….I was 100% aware that God had spoken something to that little girl that no one knew about. To be at that young tender age talking with such big faith I knew she heard something deep within that no one else heard.
I have to be honest, all that hearing stuff was a little frightening and I didn’t express what was taking place in me to no one ( why) because I didn’t want anyone to think I was crazy.
So, I did more of all the wrong things thinking it would go away but in those moments of being alone it was like” here we go again……”
It seemed like the more I was trying to remove myself I just kept being moved into it even deeper.
I started hearing God say to me stop, stop…but I didn’t know how to (not on my own anyways)
You may be asking yourself well what does that mean? Yeah, I wanted to know that also, so I did all I knew to do back then and that was pray, ask questions that I needed answers to, and stay in His presence. I have to admit I was not living a life honoring to God and because of that shame and guilt I turned away from what I knew I was being called for and went on about my so-called business.
I can remember back in 2003 two whole years later I made a choice a choice to stop all the foolishness and rid myself of all deadly things and people I took on everyday destroying who I was
I prayed “Lord, help me, I can’t do this by myself.
I found myself saying no to people I once enjoyed and things that use to comfort me and it felt good to say no, no more
Just like that before I knew it my life was clean, clear, and free of all the things that I allowed to hold me back.
Taking and making drastic changes in my life-like losing weight and taking classes at work to only be promoted with more pay, to no longer looking for a man to validate me…. single for once in my life not even thinking about a man but looking to be closer to God and hearing from Him again.
Not perfect but moving closer and closer to God
So, it wasn’t until after I got married in 2006 that I started hearing God speak to me again and I started testing what I was hearing.
I would hear words that I never heard before in my life (for instance) like Apostolos…. I said what in the world does that mean?
So, I asked God and He told me to look it up. I looked that word up in every translation that I could find and it meant (one sent with a message= a messenger.
Then I heard Him say “this is what I am calling you all to be for me”
Ok, so what does that mean? My messenger, My chosen ones, My mouth piece. Wow! Me? Yes, you. So I started looking up and researching everything I could on what He just spoke.
I would get up in the morning and lock myself in the room just to have that one on one time with the One that has called me.
The more I sat at His feet the more He spoke and then He said “write down what I speak to you” and that is what I did and have for 11 years now.
Tell me, what is a Prophet?
Prophets are regular people like you and me with a heart after God speaking divinely inspired messages from God to others.
God tells the prophet what to say and the prophet tells others what God said. In my case I write down what He speaks as He’s speaking.
God can/will only talk to people who are listening, and sometimes it’s easier to hear a message through another person which can also bring forth confirmation.
God may ask you to tell someone something that may seem to you a little personal, but it’s only confirmation or correction to that person He wants the message delivered to
You may not know what the communication that’s being spoken to you mean but trust me the person it’s for will. And, you will feel a strong desire to deliver the message and won’t be settled in your Spirit until you do.
No, God won’t force you to do what is being asked, but He will be persistent. Remember that slow obedience is disobedience. There can be no hesitation to deliver that message at all.
Only God knows the why behind the communication He wants delivered by you. You don’t have to know why.
You must decide to deliver the message, whether you want to or not.
Your being used as God’s mouth piece. God has used me in so many ways to so many people and most are like “how did you know that”, while others will feel like God has told you their business, to others distancing themselves from you because “you know too much” (their so called secrets)
But, those that feel that away fail to realize that God loves them so much that He is willing to get what He needs to say to you through whatever means you’ll receive it
Some messages will be received by the other person as confirmation and some will not because it has yet to take place, but just remember that that’s between them and God and all your needing to do is deliver the message. That’s your only job.
You may ask?
How will you know that God has chosen you to speak?
God will tell you, and you will feel a powerful desire to do what God says.
This can happen to anyone who is in contact with God’s voice.
Always remember (though) to test each prophecy like any spiritual communication between you and God.
In the book of Matthew, Jesus told us how to judge false prophets. “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit, you will recognize them (Matthew 7:15-16).
What fruit are they bearing and what character do they walk in?
So, when you receive a message remember to pray over that message and to know that the person giving you the message is living for Christ.
Be Blessed….
