Once I had a surprise visit from the Creator of life. He shared many things with me, and when I asked Him if anyone would believe me if I shared the encounter. His response was a bit sad. He said that I would be surprised to learn that most people who say they know Him have never known Him .
He did say that there were some who would know it was the truth, because they know Him.
With that comment I thought long and hard about what that really meant and why would people pretend to know God if they really didn’t know Him? It was more than just a few people that didn’t know Him. It was almost everyone in the mega churches at that time. It seemed that none of them had intimate relationships with the Lord and hearing His voice was completely unheard of for them. They didn’t know Him, because they didn’t seek Him with all of their hearts. They didn’t take the time to know Him. They were all busy with life and had no idea they were missing out on the best thing about life! Jesus is the treasure and delight for all who chose to believe and receive Him. He is the bliss of our salvation right here, right now! Nothing compares to His friendship and great love!
I was so incredibly blessed to find the narrow path that leads to eternal life, but I was also shocked that I was given such an amazing experience and opportunity, because I was what the church would call unworthy or worldly.
I loved the Lord and prayed night and day for help with the kids suffering abuse and neglect and all the broken and hurting people trapped in painful addictions and tormented by past traumatic events. I was so grateful that the Lord answered all of my prayers that I prayed for everyone and everything all the time! I had no other way to truly make things better for people other than praying for them and believing for better.
I was experiencing so much love and companionship with the Lord that I assumed everyone in the churches probably had so much more than me, because they had been doing all the good church stuff and showing up for every service while I would rarely make it to a church service but I spent hours a day reading the Bible and just worshiping and enjoying the Lord. We would go out and help the people who were praying for help, and we would pray over the city and people a blessing and speak what God wanted to do which was always so good and healing for the people. The Lord was my best friend and my teacher who became my greatest joy and deepest love.
I learned that He was serious about people not knowing Him when I was quickly identified as a crazy person who had a death wish, because I would go out at night and help people. They didn’t know what it meant to live fearless, but I did. I had no more fear of death or sickness or of people. I was free! Free to speak the Truth and free to live a life of abundance in everything. If anyone wants to know what that means, pray and ask the Lord to be your Lord and Savior and fill you with the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, people are dry and without power and will never experience the living God.
“Putting others down while considering yourself superior, spreading lies and rumors, spilling the blood of the innocent, plotting evil in your heart toward another, gloating over doing what’s plainly wrong, spouting lies in false testimony, and stirring up strife between friends. These are entirely despicable to God!”
Proverbs 6:17-19 TPT
