Day 14
Wednesday, 01/24/2007, Day 14:
So... I think I have a time frame on my house.
I may have mentioned before about the different ways that the Lord speaks to me...
Sometimes it's literally by His voice. In these times, I can quote word-for-Word what He says to me.
Sometimes it's pictures - mental images that tell a story. These are a little more vague and usually used to express how God is feeling about a particular situation or what He is doing in that situation (like mental parables).
Sometimes it's impressions - an idea or thought that just pops into my spirit. These are the most vague, and usually difficult to articulate to others.
...
Yesterday I went by the house. On my lunch break, I just sat outside the house in my car for about 20 minutes. I drove up in the driveway (which circles around behind the house), and nobody was home. I just wanted to look at it.
And during that time, as I sat in silence looking at the big hydrangea bushes, the Lord showed me a picture.
...
.....
......
*gosh* I just can't write about it yet.
I will say this: I believe it is sooner rather than later.
Really soon.
And even as I pray about it now, trying to assure myself that it really was God, I hear Him saying, "Believe me for it. Believe me for it. Press in for it."
This is a really scary place.
... and a really exciting one.
I will have my duplex unit ready by June. That is my job right now.
I believe God will do what He says He will do in the time period He says He will do it in.
I believe that, as long as I am obedient and faithful, no power in Heaven or Earth can stop God from fulfilling His promises.
That is all I know for SURE right now.
So I will believe what He showed me.
And I will be obedient to Him.
...
Along those same lines: I think I am going to continue my fast, in part, past the 21 days. Haven't quite figured out how to do it yet.
Maybe one day a week only fruits and veggies?
Or 2-3 meals a week completely fasted?
Or no refined sugar at all?
Something.
I'll have to pray about it.
I just feel God doing so many things - moving Heaven and earth, so to speak - in my life.
He's pulling my dad closer to Him.
He's doing this amazing thing with the house.
It's like He's setting everything up for the perfect miracle.
He just showed me a picture of domino blocks - like He's lining them up perfectly right now; so that when the time comes, they will all fall perfectly - one right after another.
And I feel like if I miss this... if I step outside of God's will even for a moment - I will miss the whole thing!
I don't think I said that last part correctly. It's not a fear... like "Oh gosh, what if I mess up? It will ruin my life!!"
It's more like when you're watching a really intense movie, and you don't want to go to the bathroom because you'll miss something.
That's how I feel right now. I don't want to miss one thing that the Lord is doing.
And so that is why I think I will continue the fast - in some form, until June.
And then we'll see where to go from there.
Gosh. This is so scary to even write about. Because what if I'm wrong? What if I didn't hear God?
"Trust me."
Okay. Okay.... Okay.
