Id like to share a surreal experience about how the Lord hears our thoughts.
Back when I was young I would watch sunsets with my dad and little brother.
We would go up the road from our house to a hilltop with a view.
As it happened often my little brother and I would be pointing out cloud shapes and descriptions while our dad would be quitely listening.
Later he would share that he was talking to the Lord in his heart about something – then myself or my little brother would call out a scene and it was in those moments dad would be affirmed that the Lord heard his thoughts, it helped him to know that God was near and heard him.
Just another beautiful testimony of God’s faithfulness which dad would teach us all about and testify for years to come to those who would listen.
Fast forward to today I still enjoy admiring sunsets.
However it’s been about three years since I’ve chased sunsets but recently while walking on a hilltop road I noticed the perfect spot to watch one. So I did.
It was nice.
So nice in fact I went back and even invited my little brother.
It was pretty special to share again. His son came along and snapped this picture of us engaged in conversation.
Anyways a few days go by and as the weekend approached I was feeling tired, ready to put my feet up for the day instead of going for a walk. I asked my husband to check outside and tell me if he thought it was worth going out, he leans out the back door and says “oh yeah your gonna want to see this one..”
I didn’t hesitate. I had 10 mins till sunset and decided to drive there and after arriving he was right it was a pretty one.
I park and sit.
Watching the peaceful scene..being still.. giving thanks in my heart and talking to the Lord secretly in my mind.
I was telling the Lord something like: “I am not looking for any sign – just here to appreciate what You created. And the reason I’m not looking for anything special is because I’m not wanting to be deceived by the enemy, I know You know – but that’s why I quit looking about three years ago – because I saw something that was very disturbing and felt violated Lord.”
And while I’m sitting there in the middle of being honest and sincere – I notice a dark cloud that is just hanging around.
Here’s the picture I took of it.
In fact I’ll just share a few of them cause I want you to see what I saw.
As the last of the sun was setting this cloud changes form and at the same time I recognize it to be in the shape of a foot with an ankle; the calf of a leg and the scripture I’ve read before comes to mind “Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool.”
That “disturbing cloud” (I saw three years ago) looked like a beast figure sitting on a throne, it was small looking next to the sun which was rising with huge clouds around it – I remember it looking like the 2nd coming of Christ – the disturbing figure was off to the right side.
I happened to be on a lake in our boat and just a few moments prior to seeing that picture in the clouds- a snake was aggressively swimming towards the boat, they are known to come up the sides.
It was unsettling but after we moved away from the area, I settled down to enjoy the sunrise and that’s when I saw what I just described.
I was not happy.
I was quite.
I didn’t do anything with this.
Just kept it to myself.
So now you can understand why I’m telling the Lord my distress over that time, when at that very moment He turns my attention to reveal the truth of His Word.
He shows me proof in that moment that HE is on the Throne in Heaven and everything on earth is below HIM. Even the enemy.
Seeing this played out right in front of my eyes is to incredible not to share.
I had to been taking sunset pictures which I always do.
But when I saw the “foot” cloud I had to snap it also.
Even if it was just for me I needed to tell others, it was an experience to receive a message such as this from the Lord God Almighty.
Nothing is impossible to those who believe in Him. I know this..but He still WOWs me!
So here’s what I want to say.
I didn’t plan to share this here, but after today’s Bible study and then throughout the past few days I have been reminded to testify about how the Lord hears us.
I have read that if I confess the Lord – He will confess me to the angels of God, that I am to share the power of Jesus Christ.
This is in Rom 10:9- Luke 12:8 -Ps 119:46
Now that I have it’s become obvious I have more to testify about.
Stay tuned..I have other things to tell you about.
Hope you have a blessed day!
Remember Christ LOVE for YOU is worth investigating.
Here’s the whole verse:
Thus says the Lord:
“Heaven is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
Where is the house that you will build Me?
And where is the place of My rest?
For all those things My hand has made,
And all those things exist,” Says the Lord.
“But on this one will I look:
On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word. Ish 66:1-2
