The following paragragh is an account documented in my journal of an experience I had with the Lord and the reason for this post and many to follow I suspect.
On the evening of March 3rd 2009, I was laying in bed between being awake and asleep. The voice of the Lord startled me out of my slumber with the following words," I want you to teach CPR, I have equipped you." For a very quick fleeting moment my thoughts questioned Him. "Why do you want me to teach CPR, of course I am a nurse and have been attending CPR courses for years, but why CPR?" as I rambled on trying to make sense out of it, it came to a quick halt when I saw and heard,
"Christ Powered Revival: CPR for the spirit."
That was it, I had been given an assignment. The very next day I got to work following His lead by creating my Unexpected Delights website. I must admit that for the past several months, I have often questioned Him, " how can this be? who? where? are sure Lord? who am I? I don't hold any ministerial titles...and with that I would hear Him respond,
"O, but you do. Trust Me dear one you do, just continue to trust and obey Me."
It wasn't until a very few moments ago that he spoke into my heart and made that title known to me. I have been using it all along in many of my communications, but it was not until this very moment that He enlightened my mind with the relevance and significance of it. To be shared in another post.
"HIS DELIGHTED SERVANT"
We are about to embark on something to marvelous for human words to express. Will you come along on this divine adventure with me? The Lord wants to blow a fresh breath of His spirit into your beautiful spirit. Are you willing? He is at the door waiting to be invited in. (Revelation 3:20).Please know in your heart of hearts that His intended purpose for us is an intimate relationship with Him, not religious acts or doctrinal do's and do not's. When you are deep into an intimate relationship with someone, does not their wants and desires become yours as well? When you do something that pleases your beloved, does it bring you delight? The same is so with the Lord God, His very will becomes our desire quite naturally without religious hoopla...
Madam Guyan made a profound statement in which she said, "there is a difference between praying and experiencing God" , to add to that, I don't recall who said it or where I may have read it, but it is a truth I have realized on my own and the truth is, that there is also a remarkably huge difference between "knowing of God" and "knowing God" My sincerest prayer for anyone who may be reading this is that you Dear one may go beyond "praying to God" to "experiencing God" and beyond "knowing of God" to "knowing God"
May the wind of his breath blow revival into your spirit now....and draw you into the relationship you were intended for...open the door dear one invite Him in...
Romans 10:9-10
Know who you are in Him... 1 Peter 2:9 & Romans 8:16-17
His Delighted Servant
