Did You Hear God Speak to You Tonight? Chelle

Did anyone hear God speaking to you tonight? I know of one person that definitely did! Pretty cool. Watch for her to share in this comment section. Anyone else? Don't be shy. Bless us by sharing your story.

He speaks to us if we have ears to hear. He shows us His glory if we have eyes to see.

I cant wait to see who comments and what they say! It's exciting isn't it?!

Waiting to be blessed by your stories,

Chelle

Have you ever sat down and thought, I'm in the wrong place? Like, not the wrong building or the wrong chair, but maybe the wrong room??

I am so excited to share that God SPOKE to me tonight. He didn't nudge me, he didn't trip me, he SPOKE! AND, I LISTENED.

You see when these two studies came out, it was almost like flipping a coin to see which study to attend. They are both such great books and teachers, which one do you pick? You can't go wrong with either one, right?

For the last two weeks I've been in Christy and Chelle's "When Godly people do ungodly Things". It's a FABULOUS class, I need to set that straight first and foremost. But after my week with struggles, hello, my husband is a stoke broker, have you seen the market? :) Among other things, I was kind of thinking, man I bet that "Power of a praying wife" might be a good study for me. But you know, then Satan steps in...like what we talked about in "When Godly people do Ungodly Things". He tells me, they've already started the class, it'd look weird if you changed, you don't want to offend anyone for switching...the list goes on and on.

So, tonight I finish up my time with the Kids Club kids and head upstairs. First of all I totally about walking into the wrong class room. WEIRD. Then it started coming over me. I proceeded to my classroom and sat down and He spoke. It was the most amazing thing I ever experienced! He was like Girl, you are in the wrong class! I actually can't say that I obeyed Him at first because I really think what He said was, "Sister you better get you fanny up and go to the other classroom" YOU ARE IN THE WRONG CLASS!!! BUT, there was Satan, you don't want to get up now, you'll offend someone, people will think there is something wrong with you...blah blah blah. I pushed him aside and sat in the rest of class going, "Lord, you are SO RIGHT". This will NOT offend anyone and I hear you!!

I did finish up class, but I tell you I was the FIRST one out of class and I waited outside the other classroom door until they were finished. I walked straight to Tammy and said, "How much are the books and can I still join...I think I'm in the wrong class." She said, "You do?? We'll take ya!"

I can say I've had an extra skip in my step the last hour and a half! God spoke to ME! AND I LISTENED!

Therefore, I will not be in "When Godly people do Ungodly things" and I WILL be in "Power of a praying wife". I am just on cloud 9 knowing that God loves ME and spoke to ME and I listened!

Love to you all and have a great week. I'm going to go catch up on my workbook on "Power of a Praying Wife"!

In Him

God is so good! Randa, I had a feeling something was going on and was going to email you to see if everything was okay. Obviously, it is, well NOW it is, and I'm so excited to see God show His wisdom and glory and close proximity to someone right before my eyes! It's obvious to me that God has a purpose in this study and I'm honored to make this journey with you all!

In His Love,
Jenelle

That is so awesome Randa!!!! God just blows me away!! Randa... you were the person on my right that Christy said to pray for this week... you can bet I'll be praying for you!!!

I almost didn't come tonight. Not because I got offended or anything... I just have been hit hard this last week with my thoughts. Satan throws lies at me constantly because he knows that it's my weakness. That isolation began to set in. The enemy said, "what good are you there? What do you contribute? that won't help you!" He has a way of making me feel worthless... and it attacked one of my relationships today.

Today as I was battling those thoughts I just came and got on the blog and heard this, "Stay strong you are not lost! Come on fix your eyes ahead!" I had already been crying... and that How He Loves Us song makes me cry every time! But I just sat down on the floor in the computer room and then just went face down and began to pray that God would heal my heart when Satan tries to re-open wounds that I have already experienced freedom in. In Chapter 2 of our book on page 26... "the deep resistance to making ourselves so vulnerable, so naked, so totally unprotected is our implicit way of saying, 'Jesus, I trust you, but there are limits.' By refusing to share our fantasies, worries, and joys, we limit God's lordship over our life and make clear that there are parts of us that we do not wish to submit to divine conversation."

In my book I wrote next to that.. WOW! That probably hit me harder than anything else this week. But what's even greater is that after that time in prayer (I had left the blog up to have music in the background) and when I was finished I heard, "Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance! I just want to praise you! You broke the chains now I can lift my hands and I'm gonna praise you! Yes I'm gonna praise you!" I danced my way out of the computer room and took a bike ride around the lake!

So... that brings me to tonight... I came... obviously... and Chelle says, "Don't take your eyes off of that prize! You may be delivered tomorrow! One more day!!!"

Divine appointments... something that never ceases to send chills down my spine! God is so incredible... and I'm so thankful that He uses all of you to encourage and remind me that HE IS BIGGER THAN ANY ISSUE WE WILL FACE!

For His Name's Sake,
Heather Rinkenbaugh

It is so awesome when God speaks to us and the feeling we are blessed with when we obey is amazing. I am excited to read the testimony of God moving in our lives. Readings these floods me with excitement and joy. Thank you for sharing!

I don't have beautiful words like the rest of you ladies but I just wanted to say Rhanda good for you! Heather I will be praying for you and I too got down on my knees after reading chapter 4 and asked God to fully take away my past sins and even though I had asked for forgivnes for these same sins before, there was somthing different about tonight and fully giving them over to him so the deveil can not use them against me anymore. Praise God and this study!
