My God Story: Part 6.6 - Prophetic Words and Visions

This is (technically) not Part 6.6 of my God story but everything just fell in place so perfectly (on time and spot on) that I had to interrupt my God story temporarily to journal this. 


In summary, God has been speaking to me about prophetic words these past few weeks. 


God first spoke to me through this sermon on 12th Sept where Apostle Joshua Selman spoke about 'being willing to receive the prophetic as there must be a representation of the spiritual in the earth realm. This side of the kingdom echoing the spiritual realm.'


Then, I wrote about receiving a prophetic word about unstopping my wells from a dear brother in Christ (Ps. Ashok RK) back in July 2019 here on 26th Sept.


Then, on 27th Sept night, my husband and I received a prophetic word from a sister in Christ (sis Elizabeth, Ps. Ashok RK's wife) over a ZOOM call. About a breakthrough that is coming our way very soon. 

Before we ended the call, Ps. Ashok jokingly said to us 'be careful when you open the door, you might find Jesus standing at the door.'

On the same night, he wrote these words-

The Lord impresses upon me to share this -
The prophetic word both announces what God is about to do AND initiates the action.
"Do well to heed it as a light that shines in a dark place until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts." "By it wage the good warfare."
Hold fast the prophetic word spoken over your life. It will come to pass. Don't give up, your breakthrough is at hand, it is at the door.

Little did he know that, right after we finished our call and I opened the door of our room, I was suddenly reminded of a vision sis Elizabeth had of me years ago. 

10 years ago, to be exact. 

At that time, my husband and I had just got married. (Yup, now you know how long we've been married.😀) I had just moved to Kerteh. 

And after meeting them for the first time in Sunday service, Ps. Ashok and sis Elizabeth invited us over to their house for dinner. That night, after dinner, they prayed over us. 

As sis Elizabeth prayed, she received this vision of me - of a vessel being broken and rebuilt by God 3 times. And finally, a beautiful vessel emerged. 

I remember leaving their house that night, filled with mixed feelings of joy (who doesn't want God to make them into a beautiful vessel?) and anxiety (come on, you'll agree that the thought of being broken 3 times isn't as attractive right? 😂).

Well, time passed and I didn't give it much thought after that. 

And then, when I was trying to get pregnant and when my firstborn son was born, on these 2 occasions, I remember tallying the vessel breaking counts. 

And wondering in my heart, "God, is this 2 times of breaking already?" Bewildered in my heart on whether the experience counts as a breaking and I get to cross it off the 3 vessel breaking counts, and at the same time, dreading the next breaking that is coming. 


And then (I guess you can guess what happened), over the years, I have quite forgotten about this vision. 

Until Monday night. 

As I opened the door, exiting the room, the Holy Spirit just suddenly bring to remembrance this particular vision. 

 

When I opened the door, I didn't find Jesus standing at my door. 😆

Instead, I found the Holy Spirit reminding me of a 10 year old vision, affirming to me that the vision has now come to pass in full. 

The struggle while trying to get pregnant and scare of miscarriage. Break. Rebuild. 

The grief of our firstborn being born with a genetic condition. Break. Rebuild. 

The dark, night season of in-identity. Break. Rebuild. 


That night, as I lie in bed, such joy and thankfulness filled my being. What's even more amazing is that, that overflowing joy and thankfulness continued to fill me. 

I believe the Holy Spirit was showing and affirming to me that I have found living water in my wells, in my fountain and in my river. And that a beautiful vessel has now emerged (albeit after 10 years😅). Hallelujah! 

And now, I look forward to the manifestation of a new prophetic word over me and my family, with renewed joy, renewed hope and renewed confidence. 


Indeed, beloved in Christ, the prophetic - be it a prophetic word or a vision or a dream - announces what God is about to do in your life AND initiates it.

May we be like Mary - “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” (Luke 1:38)

Motherhood - Part 4 (Crucifying that Ideal)

Image
Now I wrote about the children's Mother's Day performance story  previously.   If you've read it, you would have known that while my daughter performed with the rest of the Sunday school children for Mother's Day, my son was nervous and chose to join us at the seats.  At the time, he was saddened that he didn't go up to perform. To which we have encouraged him to try again for Father's Day, which is today.  I also wrote about dying to my 'ideal'  here.   The Lord gently showed me how I had made an idol out of my ideal and gave me a renewed revelation on denying my 'self'.  Now why do I mention these 2 posts here, you wonder.  It's because today, on Father's Day, I was tempted to give in to my ideal (again).  Few Sundays ago, the children started their practice for Father's Day.  This time, we were more deliberate with our effort in encouraging Daniel to go on-stage.  Even motivating (more like bribing 😂) him with a reward to go on-st

Motherhood - Part 1 (Dying to Self)

Image
Mother's Day this year came and passed.  10th year being a mother and I can't say I've done a great job at it, but neither am I too bad at it. I am, to put it simply, a mother to the 2 children given to me from the Lord. Nothing more, nothing less.  The week before Mother's Day, I was filled with a sense of 'inadequacy' in the area of motherhood. And I couldn't help but to feel a little down on some moments. Especially after I got upset or angry at my children and reacted rather 'unmotherly' towards them.  On those days, I felt 'guilt'. I felt 'lack'. And that thing called 'train of thoughts' inside my mind took a train track down the path called 'worry lane'.  Along the 'worry lane', the train stopped at each train station.  How is Daniel doing compared to other kids his age?  How will Daniel's future look like?  Have I done enough to prepare/ train my Daniel for future?  How will he fare after we, his par

Reflection from Daniel - Nebuchadnezzar

Image
As I read about Nebuchadnezzar in the book of Daniel, I kept thinking of these words:  The frailty of man.  Read Nebuchadnezzar's story in the first 3 chapters of Daniel and let me know if you're not jaw dropped at the double-mindedness of this man.  Here are just some snippets from Daniel.  2:47 The king answered Daniel, and said, “Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets , since you could reveal this secret.” 3:15 Now if you are ready at the time you hear the sound of the horn, flute, harp, lyre, and psaltery, in symphony with all kinds of music, and you fall down and worship the image which I have made, good! But if you do not worship, you shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. And who is the god who will deliver you from my hands ?”  3:26 Then Nebuchadnezzar went near the mouth of the burning fiery furnace and spoke, saying, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, servants of the Most High God , come out, and c
