Today has been a very different day ; in soooo many ways.
I don't think I will even begin to explain how. I felt the presence of the Almighty God and His Holy Angels from before I ever awoke!
I will however explain, or attempt to explain the one thing I believe the Lord has laid on my heart to share with you.
This morning, during worship at Montgomery Assembly of God in Cincinnati Ohio, where I fellowship regularly; the Lord spoke to me ever so clearly about the absolute need for all of us to lift each other up in prayer. You can actually see me share under the anointing during the worship service here by clicking on this link and watching the worship service. (it is about 1/3 of the way through) http://www.montgomeryag.org/new/video/20091025_1045_400w.htm
I was on my knees on my face during a very anointed worship service. I was surrounded by women of God and the presence of the Lord was soooo very strong. My eyes were closed and the sweet aroma of heaven permeated the air all around us. I heard so very clearly the strong and yet very still voice of the Lord say to me.... "Amy. These are your angels."
I knew the Lord was speaking of the women who had taken it upon themselves to come pray for me as I knelt before the altar in worship.
You see I had just received a bad report for the doctor this last week and had shared it with my brothers and sisters during service for the purpose of receiving prayer.
To be perfectly honest, I am not good at this kinda stuff. I normally try to handle it on my own. But this one is a biggy. The word tells us we need to come to the elders of the church and be anointed with oil and be prayed over. So that is what I did......And the Lord blesssssssssssssssed me!!!! Big time!
We are not meant to carry our burdens on our own! The Word says to cast our cares upon them LORD for HE cares for us!...(Peter 5:7)....and...Jesus said, ....."my yoke is easy and my burden is light…" (Matthew 11:28-30)
WE are the BODY of Christ!!!! That is why Jesus had to leave...so HE could finsih what HE started through US!
I am excited at what the Lord revealed to me in to me today. The importance of OUR IMPORTANCE in EACH OTHERS LIFE'S!
I want to encourage you never to under estimate anything you may do for anyone, ever!!! You may not see it, the out come, but it may change someones world forever!!!! Most importantly....it may change their life eternally!!!
Please don't get me wrong here....I don't believe there is anything wrong with seeing the glory of God revealed in many different ways as well as seeing His Angels. On the contrary, I believe you can. I have myself and praise God for those times!!! However for the purpose of what I believe the Lord is doing in the body of Christ; more specifically, in my life right now I trully do think the Lord would have us to focus on each others role as "actual" virtual members of HIS body when reaching out to each other; to make more of a relational connection with each other and in doing so more of a connection with Him.
Simply put.....we need to realize every little thing we do for each other has a master consequence. Matthew 25:40
Eyes closed. Slow, deep, intake of air. The essence of calm and bliss seeps into every muscle, bone, and marrow. Without effort the corners of my mouth turn up towards the soft sweeping sky showered in promises and lovers. Eyes open. My chin tilts toward a heaven made for you and me. A laugh bursts from my lips and I take a quick look around. No one notices. My hands shoot to my sides and then to the top of my head, I can’t contain the joy bubbling in my core. I want to run and laugh some more. So full of delight I become one with the very existence going on around me, I’m sure to be invisible. Lift onto my toes I gaze at the ground so far below. You can’t bring me down. I’m gone. Caught off guard by a sudden breeze, my heart jumps. But it’s all right. A brief chill and I gaze to the fumbling greens at my back. I had so often thought those climbs would never end. Up and down, up, then down again. I look back and yet, here I am. No place I’d rather be than filled with elation and escaping gravity. Eyes closed. Slow, deep, intake of air. The essence of calm and bliss seeps into every muscle, bone, and marrow. Without effort the corners of my mouth turn up towards the soft sweeping sky showered in promises and lovers. Eyes open. My chin tilts toward a heaven made for you and me. A laugh bursts from my lips as I fall to the ground. No one notices.
