Merry Christmas!
It 'twas the night before Christmas and all through my house, a few creatures were stirring but none were a mouse!
It was late on the night of April 11th and I could not sleep, it felt that it was the night before Christmas. That level of excitement and anticipation does not happen often in life since most events do not match Christmas day when you are a child so its a relevant memory by the time you are an adult.
So I put on worship music from the devotional playlist from ihop.org...I worshipped and agreed with God, worshipped and agreed. I did not know what I was agreeing with specifically yet I decided to agree with Him and worship. I finally went to sleep.
I arose the next morning and greeted my dad with, "Merry Christmas", he looked at me funny and laughed it off. A little while later a friend called and I greeted her, "Merry Christmas", I told her about the night before and let her know that today was Christmas. There are a few of us who are anticipating miracles of miracles in this month of Nissan (Jewish calendar) which ends April 22. Christmas gifts from our heavenly Father...would make perfect sense to us that live in His favor, respect His word and understand the prophetic. The day went on.
Midday I get a call and the same friend who agreed with me in faith and declaration that morning, said that someones facebook status stated, " I just got a Christmas card today! I sent it to someone in December but it was the wrong address and it just returned to me today".
I could not believe it....it really is Christmas!!! So we became encouraged. A little while later that facebook status was updated and the mother of the girl got a report from the doctor....NOW CANCER FREE!!!! What God?!!!- healings... and Christmas in April....KEEP IT COMING!
I was excited and kept listening out for the phone, waiting on the delivery of the mail and emails to receive Christmas gifts! And yet I did not receive any...so I took a nap...had a dream that I was given an invitation to a birthday party...I think it was a surprise. When I woke up I had an invitation to a wedding from my friend Angel....so I get an invitation to a wedding by an Angel? Ok Lord.
Then I get an email, my friends grandmother had gone home to be with the Lord the week before so her home was being flooded with flowers and bereavement cards. She walks into the kitchen and there was a new card....it was a Christmas card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT???
So the Lord is going out of His way to let me know He is moving...BIG time for me...and before my heart can settle in doubt or discouragement...He kept it coming... so it goes----I felt it's Christmas, 2 separate people get Christmas cards, I get an invitation from an Angel to a wedding and then a dream inviting me to a surprise birthday party......LORD Thank You for these gifts.....Merry Christmas.
I look to you with expectation....you will not pass me by...it is my time for your miracles of miracles...healing, revival, currency, profit, land, job offered well, salvation in my family, the deep desirs of my heart and more intimate encouters with the Holy Spirit. Thank you, my time...our time is now.
Abba, you are Faithful...Merry Christmas.
That's awesome Tas! I love this story. It's so hopeful. I was reading something this morning on expectation and anticipation and how it actually moves God's hearts. This guy was talking about his dog and how every time he would shake the lease a little bit it would cause his dog to get so excited because he knew a walk was coming. Usually the dog slept all day and was apathetic. But he said because he was so excited, even when the guy accidently shook the leash, and the dog came, he would then take him for a walk that he hadn't planned on taking him on. The guy was talking about how our expectation moves God's hearts. It was good. Anyway, your amazing! I love God. He is so responsive to our faith and so eager to encourage us. Love u!
