Lord, Here am I; Send me!
Isaiah 43:18-19 had appeared three times the day before,
so I decided that would be the best place to start.
so I decided that would be the best place to start.
A few weeks prior to this, I cried out over and over to Elizabeth, "How long will it take to heal?" After Pastor Chris Conley's "YES" series about abiding in Him, I sensed the Holy Spirit telling me to abide all summer long, and in doing this, He would be able to use me because I would finally be healed and whole in Him.
So when I read, “ Forget the former things ; don’t dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. ” The Holy Spirit completely overcame me with rapid heartbeat and crazy butterflies in my stomach. I began sweating profusely, so much so that I went and put on deodorant and perfume. ;-) I took all my studies to my desk and shut my door and locked it. As I locked the door, I prayed for God to keep the enemy out, so that He could impart His wisdom and discernment upon what I was sensing Him calling me to do. I continued on reading the rest of Isaiah chapter 43 and 44. In chapter 44 verse 8 it says, "Do not tremble, do not be afraid..." That is when I truly knew that God was, in fact, speaking DIRECTLY to me!
