We have had some cool experiences with the Lord. My favorite so far occurred when we went to Lakeland the 1st time for the Revival. The Prophetic was so new to me and I was so in love with Jesus and so full of Faith. It was the last night we were going to be in Lakeland, and we were headed home the next morning and my youngest son (5 years old at the time) was supposed to be baptized at our (seeker-sensitive) church back home.
I had a dream that night that my son and I were in a baptismal font and there were angels in it and above it. There was fire, like lightnings all around, going up and down, from Heaven to earth and back again. I knew in the dream that it was like Jacob's ladder.
It was not until some time later that I realized that Jesus is The Ladder:
And He said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.” John 1:51 (NKJV)
This
went on all night and I was half-asleep and half awake. My son was in
the hotel bed with me and it was like we had electrical current
surging through us all night. He was asleep, but he would touch
me and then groan. It felt like how that ball they have at the
fair looks... In the morning, I could still feel power coming from
me. I felt it the whole car ride home. That whole day, I was
blessing everyone I came near, even cars as they drove by. The Holy
Spirit was moving heavily on Byron too, he literally cried the whole
8+ hours home. He had not cried since he was 15 before that.
Our
car broke down, but we were not bothered - we were so full of faith
we thought the Lord would transport (translate?) us. I was sure
because of the dream with the baptismal font that we would be on time
to the baptism.
We
finally got the car fixed, and we were not translated home. We missed
the baptism service. When we arrived in town, there was another
church service going on, and we went straight to our church. We were
so excited to share about the healings we had seen! Right
before the service, we spoke with the worship team but to our
dismay, they were not impressed by our excitement about the Revival
and the Holy Spirit. Later during worship, I felt the power leave -
It was sucked out of my body and instantly I knew it was
because of the unbelief in the room.
I
cannot begin to tell you how many times I have begged the Lord for
Him to give it back to me. How I miss feeling His Power with such
Fullness!
I
still do not completely understand, but I think
I will eventually walk in the anointing that I felt.
I believe it is a healing anointing and I think the Lord gave me a
preview of what is to come. So many times I am so homesick for that
dunamis power, especially when I lay hands on the people and
seemingly nothing happens.
If
I knew then what I know now, I would have driven to a hospital or
laid hands on my oldest son or my husband, but there is no place for
regret in The Kingdom. Ironically, my son ended up being baptized in
Lakeland (on a subsequent trip) in a pool and I was in the font with
him.
I
know, I have felt it in my body, that the day will come when we lay
hands on the hospital walls and everyone will recover. I want to
encourage you that Our Lord can heal, HE does heal... HE is so
Faith-full. Recently, on literally what felt like one of the
worst days of my family's life (lives?), HE sent a young woman up to
tell us that 5 years before JESUS had healed her when we had laid
hands on her. It was medically verified by a very unbelieving doctor.
She had felt heat when my 5 year old had laid hands on her belly,
even after he had removed it. The Lord in His Perfect Orchestration
that HE calls LIFE, had waited 5 whole years for us to see this girl
again. HE brought this girl up to us as we were standing in a prayer
line, desperate for healing for my oldest son and my husband. HE sent
her to encourage us when we had almost given up HOPE...
Yay
GOD!
