Revival
Early in the morning on July 7th 2008 , at 1:33 A.M. I had a Hearing Vision! From a deep sleep I heard the sound of three knocks on a solid wooden door. For all who are new to the term, "Hearing Visions" it is an event from God in the spiritual realm heard with our spiritual ears. As I continue to learn how to understand the message conveyed in these events, the time is sometimes used by the Lord for additional information. Looking up the meaning of the number in the Hebrew Lexicon, (133) Old Testament is: "A testimony to them;" and in the Greek; "Praise". Now the stage is set to tell you the story, or my Testimony!
Taking time to consider what I have just heard before falling back to sleep, I am prepared for my day. It is an adventure now, seeing what the Lord is introducing in this days event. Usually a person I am to encounter will come across my path by Divine Appointment, or a new direction will come and the possibilities are endless. What is important is to be aware of the spiritual events of my day. It was about 10 am it had arrived!
Hearts Desires
Psalm 37
4Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Have you ever heard of Pistol Pete Maravich? He is a Basket Ball Hall of fame player. I have heard his Testimony, his witness for Christ, and he stated from a very early age he knew he wanted to be a NBA player. In his early life, 7 to 8 years of age, he had his focus and direction in life. Some people just know the course of their life in an early age, the "Desire of His Heart". In my early years, part of who I was had developed a Heart Desire for my life. Now and interest part of this development is it becoming a part of my personality! To set it aside, to ignore this Desire, is to turn your back on a part of who you are and the fullness of Zest in moving forward in life.
There are all kinds of reasons why we set aside or stop fulfilling these Desires, for me, my mother had died and life took a bad turn. Making it through the day was the first need and later, living in a house mostly on my own, came second. There are infinite reasons in life why we turn aside from those Heart Desires God introduced into us that makes us uniquely us. We continue on with life without them. For more than 40 some years, I haven't entertained the possibility of fulfillment.
The Gift Arrives
At about 10 am , out of nowhere, within my Heart came those Childhood Desires! The Lord had opened a door within my spirit, my heart, that I had long ago abandoned and with renewed feeling and emotions, returned! Revival! I have focus in my life. I can see where I long to go in the future. I have desire to work for its fulfillment. I know it is something the Lord wants to see happen for me. I have watched it happen before. In amazements, I saw Him change the Legacy of my sisters Sue and Bev. He wanted them to have a new home. Step by step He brought it into being; we all know that with out a doubt. Now, He is opening the door for the Desires of My Heart to be fulfilled! I am living with such Praise in my heart! To feel these things is so wonderful, it is who I am and I am whole. My outlook on life has increased exponentially.
On January 20th, the Lord showed me a season of the Revival of the Bride of Christ. I had no idea it was on an individual level as well as corporate level of the Church. If this is happening to me, it is happening to many others in the Body of Christ. God is Reviving the Hearts of Children and I personally am in awe and filled with Gratitude for my Lord.
If you are a person, quickened by the Holy Spirits with Numbers, you will like this. 606 is a number the Lord has used in my life to bring a junction, change. On the first day, He will open a junction for change to take place, and in Six Months and Six Days, He will close that junction and it is now permanently in my life to stay. January 1st 2008 until July 7th is Six Months and Six Days. A confirmation that the Desires I feel in my heart are here to stay. By His Provident Hand I have received Revival of my hearts desires.
