Something is on my mind that I want to be angry about, get upset about and snap on.
But what I want to get upset about is something that I am going to share how Christ handles things...in that manner, I must truly look at how He would handle this. What He would use to transform minds and mold hearts.
Over and over again, the LORD is teaching me to rely on His Holy Spirit. Not to respond, react or even BE myself in all things. To trust the hearts of people and to trust Him to draw them to truth. Wow. That is hard.
You think being pulled over by a traffic cop (don't worry, he was nice and was doing checks - that's it) would keep me up; the yumminess of guac for dinner would keep me up; the thought of seeing my dear brother be in tears because of the loss and way of loss would keep me up; the fact that the house is so not clean enough to have people over yet we are going to tomorrow and Friday would keep me up; how about all the white ants that are trying to come into my house.....
I started a study on the Spiritual gifts.
Today during counseling, I felt the Holy Spirit tell me to ask Monica how she was doing with God. So I listened and asked her.
My dear friend, and now sister, Ajok Monica accepted the LORD on Sunday...here is the story:
She went to church (a non-bible based church) and as the priest called for people for prayer she went up for prayer. As she went up she was attacked by Satan in such a powerful demonic way that it threw her to the ground and wouldn't release her. She was carried out and, praise God, was taken to the nearby bible believing church where the women (our own Evelyn and Filda included!) prayed over and over her for a long time for the release.....and it worked!! When she came back to and was settled she was totally given the Gospel and surrendered her life to the LORD.
This is the same women in December who said that she wanted counseling to heal from her abduction and abuse in the bush by the LRA and more information on God. That she couldn't make a decision on Christ until she knew everything. The same woman who was pained, quiet and reserved...is now a woman of laughter, healing, hope and a future.
She said she wants to learn to bake and run a bakery.
Totally don't know where that came from....cuz no one has ever mentioned anything like that before.
She said it with boldness - I think the Holy Spirit is leading her there....
She knows she can't live on bread alone...but on the Word of God.
Oh, and she is getting her Bread...a Bible...and she will ask others to read it to her until she can fully read it herself.
God is good....
It is now 2 am and I will see if I can sleep now...
