The woman of God spoke life over me as I shared with her the mission/purpose God had given to me to pursue. When I was sharing with her the vision that the Lord showed me over 3 years ago when He healed me from my depression; I could see in her eyes that she could see it too! As I began to share my testimony of where God had bought me from she began to feel the passion in my spirit for what God had called me to.
It was an amazing encounter to say the least, as we were in a hospital room with my mother recovering from back surgery. The woman of God got up and came to me and began to pray over my life. She spoke to me as God gave her revelation for my life and I began to cry. As she touch my hands I felt the spirit of God transcend from her spirit to mine and I knew she was who she says she is, a woman of the most high God!
The words that she spoke were nothing new to my ear as it all was confirmation of what God had promised me years ago. Now He was using someone to let me know that it was Him who had a plan for my life.
The one thing that she said that stood out for me was; “it time for new beginnings”, a new life everything would be changed, this was the time. So I decided that I would embrace these words and begin my journey into a “life makeover” with God. But only a few weeks into the life makeover challenge I began to feel very week in my physical body, as well as, my spirit, and the zeal began to wane.
The Lord gently spoke to me and said; “you need quiet time with me”! I heard God loud and clear and so I have decided to be obedient and go away from all that I am doing and seek His face. Without Him I can’t do any of this, I can have no power in executing the things that He has shown me. The purpose that He has given me is so much more important than me that I will not compromise its outcome for anything!
So I am going away, perhaps not physically, but emotionally and spiritually I have to go away to be with God and allow Him to make me over in the way that only He can. I solicit your prayers during this time that I would remain faithful to my purpose and to God. That I would come back to my purpose/mission with more clarity, more vivid directions, and more importantly more zeal for my life as God sees it!
I pray that each of you will remain faithful to your purpose and if you need quiet time with God don’t put it off do it now!

My sister Lisa, I was touched by your story, and even though you already shared it with me…this time I could feel a relational connection when you said ” you began to feel very week in my physical body, as well as, my spirit, and the zeal began to wane.” I admit I too have been feeling this way lately…within the past week or so. And I, like you, know that God is calling me closer to Him. I want to thank you for sharing your pain once again…whether you know it or not your pain is being transformed into someone else’s power. What I mean by that is, someone else is weak just like you and when you share, your sharing comes back to the reader in the form of power that clothes itself in encouragement, strength to take another step when you feel you have none left, and hope……hope that God has a plan when it may seem like this is just tooo hard….And even for that one who may feel alone, she realizes she is not. May God continue to Bless you and Strengthen you to keep moving forward. I pray for a fresh annointing to fall upon you and for God to lavish you in His well spring of life. And may you never be thirsty or tired again, in Jesus name. Love ya Dawn
Thank you Dawn! Words right now are not even enough, but thank you for who you are. . . a blessing to me!
