Becoming a Butterfly

Last night my hubby and I went to Charlotte NC to see a minister (Todd Bentley) that has been the leader of a revival that broke out in Lakeland, FL…and then was also brought back to a church in NC…by some students that visited the revival.  It was an incredible time in the Lord!  The testimonies of God’s grace were so encouraging.  People healed of terminal sicknesses, calling to preach…etc.  The worship real…intimate…glorious.  God’s presence was rich and intoxicating.

After both services they prayed for us, and after the second one, they released us to pray for others.  I was in heaven!  God has given me a prophetic gift, which basically means hearing God.  So when I pray for people, I can hear God speak to that person.  I also see visions, and I hear songs too.   It is really cool.  Last night I prayed for several people and God spoke to them through me…and it was…well…beautiful.  Amazing, awe inspiring…and humbling.

I will share one with you…but then I need to go to sleep ’cause I am so sleep deprived right now.

Before we went, I got dressed and put on my butterfly ring.  I have a butterfly ring I got from the local butterfly house here, and it is made of rhinestones, with one aurora borealis stone in the center.  Once we were at the conf. I saw an older lady with a butterfly on her shirt.  It caught my eye, and if you have been to my page you will know why:)

So later, when I started praying for people, I saw this lady again and asked her if I could pray for her.  She said yes.  Immediately I heard the Lord say, “So much water under the bridge.”  And so that was the start.  I can’t remember everything I said, ‘cause it is like translating when I share…but the jest of it was…  God wanted her to know that He knew she had been through a lot, and He was with her through it all.  He would never leave her or forsake her, that He was hers and she was His.  That she would be with Him through all eternity.  And He loved her.  The whole time I was sharing this…she was in my arms weeping, with her head on my shoulder and we were both swaying in the spirit.  So awesome!  So intimate.  

When the Lord stopped speaking I looked at her beautiful face, tears streaming down it…and she said,  “That was God!  I was praying that He’d send someone to pray with me…and He sent you.” I told her I had seen her beautiful butterfly on her shirt earlier and it caught my eye, and when I saw her again, I just wanted to pray with her.  I told her I was really into butterflies and showed her my ring.  She looked at me, and her eyes got big.  Then she held up her hand and showed me her ring.  A beautiful butterfly, made in silver.  She said, “See this butterfly?  That is the last thing my husband gave me before he died.”  WOW!!!!   I had never met this woman…and knew nothing about her…but God knew her and no wonder He kept telling her He would never leave her or forsake her…her earthly husband had left her to go home….and now she was a widow.

The Lord immediately said, “Give her your ring.”  So I took it off and handed it to her.  She asked me where did you get it?…I told her the butterfly house…then I took it and put it in the palm of her hand, closed her fingers around it, and said, “the Lord wants me to give this to you.  It is from Him.  He wants you so know He will never leave you or forsake you.  This is for you.”

She was blessed…but I was more blessed.  I wish you could have all seen the joy in her eyes.  The faith in the LOVE OF her Heavenly Husband! 

 Wow…God is love.

Well…we didn’t get enough… so my husband and I are heading down to Lakeland, FL tomorrow to jump back into the River of His Love!  

Not sure how much I will be on…or how my diet will go…but I do hope to visit a special friend that I met here online!  And maybe drag her with me to the revival:)?

Have a great day!  Happy, Healthy and full of His Love!!!!
