I had a most amazing spiritual experience last night. I was so tired and couldn’t sleep and asked the Lord if I could draw close to Him and feel His embrace. I’ve never asked Him that before, but I felt anxious to sleep. Moments later Psalm 23 came to my mind and reminded me that He is my Shepherd. Words flowed from my heart in a prayer, so I quickly wrote them down then I fell asleep so soundly. I’ve been writing encouraging words at other times and posting online and thought it would be the same. The next morning when I woke up, I received a message from a woman in prison that I have just recently been in touch with from my sister. She sent me a heartbreaking message of all that was going on inside with the Coronavirus. The conditions are terrible and so sad that I broke out in tears.
I then remembered my experience last night and as I read through what I had written the Lord revealed to me it was a prayer for this woman to reassure her that He is with her. It was truly amazing and a supernatural experience that words cannot fully explain. On the other hand, I’m excited to be used by God in this way. I remember my sister and I praying together the last time we were together on March the 12th and as we prayed, we both cried out to the Lord that we want to walk in the supernatural and we won’t settle for less. This has been my second encounter and the first was a dream I had for a friend.
I believe this is just the beginning of greater things to come. Thank You Jesus ❤️
I feel in my heart this is also a word for someone out there.
If you don’t know the Lord well it’s not too late to call out to Him…
Lord Jesus,
It says in Your word that You are the good Shepherd, I want to believe that it is true and right in this moment. There’s nothing I desire more than to be with You. Will You lay me down in green pastures so I can have peace? Can You lead me beside the still waters so I can rest and sleep?My life is in such turmoil I’m overwhelmed by it all. I find I’m walking through darkness and death every day. Is it possible You can give me rest like they say ?Can you comfort my anxieties and keep me safe? There’s nothing I want more than to have rest for my soul. With Your goodness and mercy so I’m kept in control. To dwell with You always is all I’m asking for. Is it possible to accept me, no matter what I’ve done before?
Jesus answers…
Yes, I am the good Shepherd and I’ll not turn you away, My love for you is endless, I’m the truth, the life, the way, Rest my child beside me, let me take you in my arms And I’ll carry you to still waters, and keep you safe from harm. I’ll calm the storm within you, I’ll be your Shepherd, don’t you fear, I’ll stay always close beside you, Let Me dry your every tear.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. John 10 verse 11
Call to me and I will answer and show you great and mighty things. Jeremiah 33 verse 3.
Come to Me you who are weary and heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11 verse 28
A Prayer for Healing
May God’s healing presence soothe your soul
Like a soft gentle rain…
May His touch release His power
And heal you from all pain
His whispers calm your spirit
New strength flows from His grace
He stills you with His tender voice
There is no sweeter place
His waves of love they’ll take you
As deep waters call your name
You’re lifted high above the storm
You’ll never be the same
