MOVING INTO YOUR CALLING

During our home church meeting 15/3/2017, I was praying for Kev when he stopped me and said that although what I was saying was very nice, he was picking up that God was trying to share something particular with me, but I needed to tune in to God and allow Him to work through me by faith instead of trying to work for Him. So as I closed my eyes and tried to focus, which is difficult for me as I usually try to analyse and reason everything, I became still and felt the Holy Spirit come over me so strongly that I felt drunk with joy, and at one point it felt like someone had placed a finger upon my forehead, but as I opened my eyes nobody was touching me! At that moment, my mouth was filled with words for Kev about how God saw him. Then I felt a sensation on my left hand, which I can only describe as like wearing a glove of static electricity! And as I told everyone what I was feeling, Kev told me to place this hand upon another member of our home group, whose name was Karl, and to impart the anointing.

As I did, Karl could feel the same sensation come upon him. It was difficult to take it all in because I was so full of ecstatic joy, but then in the Spirit I described to everyone how I could see a red dot, which didn’t seem to make any sense and I thought that was it, and so I went to move on to the next person, when Kev took me by the arm and gently brought me back to Karl. He said that the gifts of the Spirit are to build up the body and encourage one another and laughed as he said that there was much more than just a red dot. So I placed my hand back upon Karl and the image of the red dot came back to me and, as I focused, the image expanded for me to see a yellow fluorescent vest with reflective bands on it and, as I described it, to my surprise Karl said that it was what he had to wear at work! And then I described how I was being shown a vision of Karl in his jacket praying in a warehouse with his head slightly bowed down and how his other work colleagues who observed him, thought he was down on himself, unaware that he was actually praying for them, to which Karl started laughing and said that’s exactly what he does. At that moment, I felt prompted to tell him that God sees all that he does, and then I moved on to pray for the next person and continued to deliver what the Holy Spirit was showing me to each person in turn, being confirmed by each one. In my whole life, I have never experienced anything like that before. I’m certainly going to try to stop listening to that inner voice of reason, by trying to analyse everything, and instead start to move out in faith - Alex Masters, Derby UK.
