JOURNAL - Holy Spirit Encounter

7.6.97

Lord,
thank You for visiting with us
last night!
You moved quietly,
silently, almost unobtrusively
upon us.
A lot of times
we like to be “entertained”
by animated preaching,
but tonight,
You moved in another way.

You spoke in gentle tones…
reminding us of
the Father Heart of God.
You stirred us up
to care for our children,
to teach them and
to encourage them
into a personal relationship
with You.
You were concerned about
how many were being “lost”
in a world of sin.
Your Heart was burdened.
You shared Your Burdens
with us.

Lord,
there are times when
we don’t do enough!
And there are times
when we feel our efforts
are so insignificant –
but they’re not!
They are a start
in the right direction…
a beginning.
We need to follow through.

Lord,
guide us with Your Wisdom.
Teach us, Lord,
what we need to know.
“Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light for my path.” (Psa. 119:105 NIV)
We desire to follow
Your Leading, Lord…
to follow Your written Word,
and Your personal Word
to us.

7.6.97

I have had a MIRACLE
in my life!
A breakthrough!
A victory!
Hallelujah!

About 3 ½ years ago,
I received a prophetic word
that I would write books
for the Lord.
Yesterday, the first book
was published!
The Word is coming to pass!
It was a conditional Word of prophecy.
I had to meet certain conditions.
I had to make myself
available to write for God.
I had to be committed,
and to pursue the Plan
God had for me.

Finally, it had happened!
This is the fruit, the harvest!
Books written to glorify God
and to encourage others!
Hallelujah!
To God be the Glory!

This is the written Word of the Lord.
“…so is my word
that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which
I sent it.” (Isa. 55:11 NIV)
