I also thought I would share some of
the ways He has been speaking to me this year...
While attending a baptizm at church,
I heard the Lord speak directly to me about two of the ladies. I was hesitate
to share at first but here they are. Below are e-mails I sent to them and their
responses back. God is so good! If you are reading this, lean in and respond to
God's leading.
First person…
During your baptizm, the Lord gave me an image of an eagle
soaring very, very high in the sky. Higher than all the other birds. The wings
were spread out and the eagle was souring with the wind behind its wings as it
soured higher and higher in the sky. The eagle only looked down in the
beginning, the rest of the time the eagle was focused toward heaven.
I believe the Lord wants to take you to new heights in your
relationship with Him. He wants you to "sour in the spirit" and go to
higher heights with Him than most others around you.
Isaiah 40:31 "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They
will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will
walk and not be faint."
Psalm 103:5 "Who satisfies your desires with good
things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s."
Exodus
19:4 "You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you
on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself."
Her response...
I
cannot express to you how grateful I am to have received your email. Thank you
so much for reaching out to me.
The
past couple of months have been incredibly transformative in my walk with
Christ. The Lord has created opportunities for growth in so many areas, and
God's presence has been immensely powerful during this time. On the flip side
to that, the enemy has really been weighing down on me recently - I believe
because he senses God's mightiness in my life now more than ever. It is God who
has enabled me to persevere in a relationship with him and it is He who has
continued to meet me each and every day. Through every struggle and hardship
that I may face in this life, I pray to be that eagle focused solely on heaven
and truly soar to the highest heights with God.
Again,
thank you so much for sharing with me the image and words that God impressed
upon you on Sunday evening. The encouragement you have offered me today is
immeasurable.
Second persion...
During your baptism, the Lord gave me a word for you. I believe the
Lord wants to give you a "new name"... He didn't give me anything
more than "I have a "new name" for her."
I do not know how familiar you are with scripture however
over and over again, the Lord would give his people a new name. The Lord would
change a person's name to establish a new identity in Christ. The old is gone
and the new has become. For example, Abram (high father) became Abraham (Father
of a Multitude). Sarai (my princess) became Sarah (Mother of Nations). Simon
(God has heard) became Peter (The Rock). Often a new name gave the person a new
mission in life. It gave them a divine plan and also assured them that God's
plan would be fulfilled in their lives. I don't believe God is asking you to
physically change your name but He does want to give you a new identify in Him.
I hope that makes sense.
By the way, not everyone received a new name. It was only
given to those that had a divine mission. Kind of cool when you think about it.
Okay enough from me. I'll let God reveal more to you!
Her response...
Thank you so much for sharing this with me. My roomate
mentioned that you had received a word for me, but hearing the whole context
from you directly is really helpful. I will definitely be praying on this.
Thank you for your obedience in sharing, I am blessed by it.
