The next step
Written by Pistol Pete Wednesday, 14 October 2009 00:00
Last Friday I had a really bad night and next day. I didn't sleep for many hours and was terrified and didn't know why. Well, Satan was beating up on me, trying to destroy me, trying to break my spirit. There is our personal spirit and then there is the Holy Spirit. Sunday was just a little bit better but I did get out for a while with Carolyn driving for errands for my mom. Short story is, Monday, while sitting here and being freaked out about nothing, I called another person I worked with and was pointed to and it changed me forever. She is very dedicated to God and He was listening. Boy, was He! I was praying along with her and then it happened. In mid-sentence she spoke in tongues. It was a rapid fire string of syllables/words not of this earth for just a few seconds that could have been a whole book and then she went right back to where she had been. I knew when she did it what was going on. Afterwards she said she didn't know she had done it and that when people speak in tongues they don't know they are doing it. I had asked God for a miracle and that certainly was one, and I'm sure there will be more. In mere seconds I was changed forever.
It was a gift to me from God to let me know He is listening and does care and it was amazing! I had heard about it but had never witnessed it. I have now and will never forget it. Satan can't understand the Lord's words to interfere with them. He said "I hear you, I care about you and I will never abandon you". The fear is gone and I am calm. I drove a friend to see a doctor yesterday and was not afraid to be in traffic. In fact, I wasn't afraid of anything. I had been afraid to go out and had pulled into a cocoon of pointless fear and anxiety that Satan had caused. He hates us. He made me a target because I was weak from stress. After the prayers I was calm. God is working in me and with me and I love it! He is in charge of me now. I put my life in His hands and Ol' Scratch ain't gonna get to me anymore. I still appreciate prayers from anyone and the road is smoothing out.
Each step is further up the road to God's glory. Later, I called another friend and told her about it. The first step in this journey was when she had her transformation years ago. She said people in the office sort of shunned her and thought she was a nut or fanatic. But, they soon realized she was still herself, though with a light on her (my comment). That is exactly when I was moved to seek her out. The next step was years later, a couple of weeks ago with De and that was fantasic! Now, this latest step has happened and I know there will more steps. My life is changing so very quickly and for the better. I praise Father God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit for everyone who has touched my life to bring me to this point. The Holy Trinity is our shield that can not be penetrated by evil. I am not going back into that dark hole of dispair, of fear. And as God will never abandon me, I will never abandon Him, my family and friends. Hey folks, I'm still me, but now I'm free. I also start another job tomorrow.
