The Meeting

I want to share a little personal story, I know you'll be blessed.  


On Wednesday mornings I go to a study on the book of James, it is filled with Amazing women of all ages & walks of life, who look at things from many different perspectives and always speak love and encouragement over each other.  It has been such a blessing to me.  Well, Yesterday we went through the study as usual and instead of breaking  up into groups at the end of our time together to pray for prayer requests we all stayed gathered around the table to pray corporately.


As these beautiful women went around and prayed one women whom I had only seen come to the group twice (so I really didn't know her) prayed for her daughter and mentioned her name.  My heart started pounding out of my chest I wasn't sure if I had heard the name correctly so I wanted to be sure to talk with her after we were done.

So after the group finished up praying and ladies started going their own way I made my way across the room to approach  this woman who had prayed for her daughter.  I asked her about her daughter and she told me all about her and  repeated her name, even spelling it out for me ( even thought I didn't ask her to) It is an unusual name one I had only heard ONE time before and that is when the Lord spoke it to me to pray for this person months earlier.  That is why when I thought I had heard her speak the girls name in her prayer my heart started pounding out of my chest, I had never met anyone in my life with this name nor have I ever heard it spoken, yet it was a familiar name to me told to me only from the Lord.

  See in the latter part of 2010 I had some names of people on a list I was praying for, mainly for salvation but the Lord told me to get a pen and write this name out on my list.   He said it and as I started to write the first letter, He told me each letter just as I wrote it, HE spelled it out for me.  So when this woman  SPELLED out her daughters name just as the Lord had done for me months earlier I KNEW it was confirmation that this is the girls mother, the girl I had been praying for, the girl the Lord put on my heart!!

I proceed to tell the mother this story and she was in tears just knowing that someone, a stranger, had been praying for her daughter all this time too!!

Isn't it WONDERFUL how our GOD works!  He knows everyone on the planet, he knows their name and HE knows when they need prayer and if WE will just listen to HIM and follow HIS leading we will see miracles happen, lives change.  We many not see or meet them here in this life but surely in Heaven!!!

I hope this blesses you and encourages you today dear ones, WE DO HEAR FROM OUR GOD!!

Be Blessed!
