PRAISE JESUS

Wow, today has been so up lifting. God has been speaking so clearly through scripture this past week, that it was amazing how loud He spoke today.

At Sunday School He continued to speak through the scriptures we were reading pertaining to the lesson. Yet, they were speaking and confirming what has been on my heart.

Then church began. The service opened with a power point of many different verses being used and it so was speaking to me. And then the Pastor got up and said 'God is speaking through many different means. God is speaking to His people. Are you listening?'

I felt as though that question was being spoken to me directly by God Himself. It took all that I had from not jumping up and yelling out 'Praise Jesus,I am listening and I hear you' right at that moment. My heart was beating so fast and it felt as though it was about ready to come right up my throat and pop out. Pastor kept asking for hands to share and each time he went by me. I knew God wanted me to share and I was not going to fight Him on it. I was just trying really hard not to just jump up, I felt like a child who could not sit still. Well finally Pastor was getting ready to move on and he still went by my hand. So I raised it higher and then decided to raise the other one too. Though he had begun to move on, he noticed and said "Kimie is there something you want to share", and well I sprang to my feet shouting Praises to my Savior. It was the FIRST time since I have been here in Korea that I felt like me. I know you all who know me would have smiled, but I think it would have brought tears to your eyes knowing how heavy my heart has been.

After I shared Pastor said that he had really prayed over the scriptures and had a few different options he could have used, but keep being pulled to the ones he decided on. He said he prayed that it would just speak to one. And it sure did. That set of verses from the Word was meant just for me that morning. God is good and I praise Him just for His love for me.

So today was not only freeing for me it was a day where I truly met the Risen Christ in every moment He placed before me.
