The Appointed Time

A while back, I felt led of the Lord to rename this blog “a prophet walk” and trust me it was a well thought out decision. I wanted people who feel they are of the “prophetic order” to first understand that there are people like them and, I was hoping it would give insight to those who know people like this. You see some people have a very peculiar walk with God. And those with the prophetic call are different from the average Christian.

I was sharing in a earlier blog post, how I’ve had my driver’s license for 16 years, but have done very little driving. For the average person, you get your license and you get a car and you start driving. But for some reason it didn’t happen that way for me. And then something even stranger happened. Before I moved from New York to Florida, I went to a prophetic meeting and a prophet told me that he saw me driving. Yes, God felt it was important to tell me that I would one day be driving since it had eluded me for so many years.

So here I am in Florida, living in a house taking care of my Dad, then my Dad dies, then I lose the house I was living in, then I end up living with my sister for a while, then I end up living with an older lady who I met through my Dad and suddenly, she pushes me to start driving her car. Suddenly, the thing that eluded me for so long happens. Prophecy fulfilled!

So yesterday, I drove to a local strip mall, took in a movie, then drove to the grocery store and then came home. As soon as I get home, the lady I am living with was not feeling well and she asks me to drive her to the bank and then to the doctor and guess what? Suddenly, I’m driving everyday, all day. 😉 All I have gone through brought me to the place where this prophetic word comes to pass!

So when I least expected it and through adverse situations and circumstances, the Word of the Lord comes to pass. There was an appointed time for this to happen. Yes, it’s not the average driving story, but that’s what this prophetic walk is about.

I feel strongly, I am about to have another testimony about financial increase. Three years ago, I was praying about finances. For some reason I can’t seem to get a job. I let go of the job, I had two years ago, which I now believe was in the plan of God. That was revealed through a dream. But here is what this post is really about. When it’s God’s time for His promise to happen, nothing or no one can stop it. It’s just your time.

I can’t wait to see how God is going to do this next thing (financial increase) I know he showed me the method, and I feel strongly that it’s almost time. Sometimes we wonder about the why, and what of life. But trust me, if you are submitted to God,  it’s just all about it happening at the appointed time.

If it’s just not time, it’s just not time. But when it is your time, nothing or no one can stop it!

Psalm 102:13

New International Version (NIV)

13 You will arise and have compassion on Zion,
for it is time to show favor to her;
the appointed time has come.

Shut Up and Drive!

I’m a little embarrassed sharing this, but I’m going to do it anyway. 🙂 Even though I’ve had my driver’s license for 16 years, I’ve not done much driving. I learned how to drive later than most people do and at the time I was living in a rural town in upstate New York, working for a missions organization.

A year later when I returned to New York City, I resumed working and living like a lot of New Yorker’s do. I rode the bus and the subway to go to work and I never got a car. I seriously considered it at one time, but I just resumed living life riding public transportation.

Many New Yorker’s never buy cars and besides public transportation, they use cabs. You could live and die in the city and never drive. In fact my best friend is just like that. We are the same age and she doesn’t have her license and doesn’t drive.  It is very much a New York thing.

Before I moved to Florida, eight years ago, a prophet gave me a word about seeing me driving.  Seems odd to need a prophetic word about driving doesn’t it? Well I used to wonder if I would ever drive. When I received the word it had been about eight years since I got my license. Well fast forward till now and it seems this is the time. The lady that I am staying with is pushing me to drive, which I needed. I have to admit it feels like I am starting all over again. But she is adamant about me getting out there.

So last night I was talking to my prayer partner and her daughter was watching “Wreck it Ralph” and there was a scene in the movie where someone says “Shut up and drive”. Well my prayer partner repeated it to me because I was sharing how I was being pushed to drive. Well we both laughed about it. But it kind of felt prophetic.

So this morning, the lady I am staying with  was working the polls today for the election and she proceeds to admonish me to go with her and take the car and run my errands. Well, I’m still a little shy about driving so at first I said “no, that’s okay”. But she kept telling me I needed to do it and suddenly I heard “shut up and drive”. lol

God is pushing me out of my comfort zone. Sadly, I’m a late bloomer. But today I felt strongly a car is coming so it’s TIME. Yeah, I’m going to just shut up and keep driving!

John 2:5

New International Version (NIV)

5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

An Amazing Prophetic Word

I just listened to a prophetic Word that was just sent to me. I feel like SHOUTING! Confirmation of everything that God has put in my spirit in this season! Thank you Jesus! God knew what I needed this morning!

 

It’s Going to be Like a Dream

Psalm 126

A Song of [a]Ascents.

1 When the Lord brought back the captives [who returned] to Zion, we were like those who dream [it seemed so unreal].

There are circumstances that manifest in our lives that seem like we are dreaming. For each person, that experience can be different. Perhaps someone has seen that fulfillment career-wise, or for another it could be ministry. For each person it can be different.

For me and this prophetic walk, my experience is not any less significant or important, although people will try to make me feel that way. But it’s a good thing I’ve learned how to ignore folks. So much that I am walking in now is what God showed me years ago and from the outside it seems like it’s bad, but it’s the opposite.

Yes, my house was auctioned off back in May and I had to move in with my sister and I’m sleeping on a small love seat in her living room.  Most people would view this as negative, but I just can’t. The Lord showed me that my sister would hand me the keys to her apartment years ago.

When I had the dream, it did cross my mind that it might have to do with leaving my house but, with two sale dates cancelled on the house, I thought that I would be staying. But then God had a prophet tell me that I was going to be “made me move” and that is what happened. With all of this insight ahead of time, how can I be upset? Moving out of that house is the best thing that ever happened to me!

So I have been given a deadline for staying with my sister, and I have NO problem with it. She made a sacrifice and it’s a very small space because she recently downsized to a smaller apartment and the truth of the matter is I am ready to go! Plus it’s part of God’s plan.

So yesterday, I decided to go out and start looking for a place where I can stay temporarily and I had two places in mind. Going out looking for those two places, caused me to find the place I will be staying temporarily and how do I know?  Because after I got home and searched it out online, I was reminded of something God showed me last year. He actually showed me ( in a vision) where I would be staying, but it’s so much more than that. Wisdom dictates that I not share it all, but I have to say that I am closer to a promised financial increase than ever before. It’s getting surreal now because I feel like I am on this journey following a spiritual road map to my promise. To some it may seem like a crazy way to live, but I wouldn’t trade this journey for anything in the world! And the proof will be in the pudding! Just wait and see. 🙂

From the outside, I seem unsuccessful, but that is okay. Many people are putting a lot of effort into things, even being successful in this world, but in the end, their works are going to be burned up because what they are doing is NOT exactly what God intended them to do. And then there are those who are being looked down on, in this world because we don’t fit into the world system, and we (I’m one) will end up with the greatest reward in heaven. But I’ll write about that in the next blog!

Liars Drawn to Liars

Have you ever asked the Lord why something is happening. I have been asking the Lord some questions and I believe He let me know that like spirits are drawn to each other.

Do you know there are people who will swear up and down that they are not a liar, when they really are? It’s the scariest thing you ever want to see. You can CATCH THEM in the middle of a lie and they will turn it around and try to worm their way out of it. Those are the kinds of people who scare me.

People who know me can tell you that the one thing I am not, is a liar. I did not say I have never lied. But I do not have a habit of lying. The reason being God showed me that if you lie it will affect your integrity in the prophetic. You cannot be a liar and prophesy accurately. Eventually the lies will infiltrate the prophetic and you will become a lying prophet.

God showed me sometimes people are drawn to each other because they are liars. They are deceptive and the lies connect them. Amazing isn’t it!

My Pastor preached a message about lusting and lying. It was so profound and those two things will shipwreck your life every time.

Revelation 21:8

King James Version (KJV)

⁸ But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

 

Humbled

This is what Mary the mother of Jesus said, when she visited her cousin Elizabeth and God confirmed that she was carrying the savior. Sometimes when God confirms our future, we are just humbled!

Luke 1:46-56

New International Version (NIV)

Mary’s Song

⁴⁶ And Mary said:

“My soul glorifies the Lord
⁴⁷     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
⁴⁸ for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
⁴⁹     for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
⁵⁰ His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
⁵¹ He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
⁵² He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
⁵³ He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
⁵⁴ He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
⁵⁵ to Abraham and his descendants forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.”

⁵⁶ Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
