[revival-fire] God's Snow Angel

******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******    

This is from Dezaree:

 

Hello!!!!!

 

*For the first time last week I picketed along with other students and leaders in the School of Ministry at Family Christian Center, Orangevale and it was great! For one thing, it humbles yourself (especially when you have people cursing at you, giving you the finger, throwing soda at you, and blocking your car from moving). Second, it gives others an opportunity to know that they are not alone on their vote/walk in righteousness. Third, I remember when I did not like voting because I did not care nor understand politics and who or "what" was going to be in office, or what even propositions were. So, it took me awhile to get registered and when I finally did get registered I just voted for the majority that I saw because I did not want to do the research. I'm sure there are others who are like I was and felt encouraged to vote for what we were picketing last week. I felt so great inside doing this.

 

*God's been giving me immediate answers to situations I am dealing with or situations other people are dealing with. Maybe I have gotten to a place that I am tuning in more (I've been praying about that), but this is awesome! For example, I was talking to my husband about this situation with someone and I remember saying "Gosh, I just don't understand why or what I can do for them". And then our conversation ended and I began to do my homework (yay!) and read the bible and flipped open to my answer from Jesus in the book of Mark! (Oops, I think I just gave away that I am behind on my reading) How awesome! It was like Jesus was right in front of me talking and saying "look, this is why, and this is what you need to do". But, it's not just this incident, for the past few weeks, he has been talking to me directly like this and answering me right away. Gosh, I really don't want to lose this.

 

*Today we went to feed, bless, and pray for the homeless. This was another awesome and new experience for me!  As we were leaving one guy stood behind me waiting for our conversation to finish (which I did not realize) to ask me about parking. He ended up finding out about parking and accepting Jesus in his heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then my 1:30 pm client canceled, which allowed me to be home to lead my landlord to the Lord! Yay!

 

*And again, just as I am trying to figure out and pray how I am going to make it to school tomorrow, I get home and we have groceries and gas in our car!!!!!!!!!  

*This month is my 2 year anniversary of being baptized in the Holy Spirit thanks to my Pastor Arthur Defenderfer! Yay! Amen!

 

*Also, this one is going to be hard to explain: I was sitting in my office today and for about 5 minutes the thought of "I am a child of God" started to come up, but it wasn't just a thought. I can't really explain it, but I really started to feel it. And I kept repeating "I am a child of God", and as I did I felt it more. It was like I was floating and no care could bother me.  And I saw myself just being filled with so much joy and not being affected by any negativity. I actually saw myself in my church lying on the ground as if I was in the snow moving my hands and legs smiling, making a snow angel, and I was saying "I am a child of God". For a few minutes I really felt this, not just thought, but really felt this. It was like I was in a different state of mind. It was so euphoric. Too bad only 5 minutes, I bet God wants us to be in this all the time.

 

Love,
