We left the healing church that day. It took us a few weeks to decide to go back to church. Those weeks were like being lost in a desert in a sand storm. I had been so close to Creator GOD I felt I could reach out and caress his face. Now I could not see the nose on my own face. We did decide to find another church. The next congregation gave us some insight into the world of modern day Mithras. One of the junior pastors of that church was in fact himself a Mithras. He unmasked to me AND my ex husband. He would show up uninvited and walk around in my home in his real form. He told many stories about his home land England and the Mithras there. He said Mithras was the “patron god” of the United Kingdom.
We left that congregation. We moved again.
It seems fantastic to me now but God continued to use me in my new found office. It is called the “five fold ministry” and Jesus set it up this team of leadership for the believers before his crucifixion for the growth and training and protection of the called out ones that remained.
One of the Sunday mornings when we were in between congregations I was awakened and aware of God’s presence. This happens quite often in my customary quiet time in the morning. I read the Bible and wait to hear my marching orders for the day from Jesus. On this particular Sunday morning I was supposed to get the family up, dress us all for church, and start driving down highway 70 to the east. ?? Wow. Really? That had never happened before. Was this a test? It took courage to even tell my ex husband what directions I was receiving. But I did it. I got up the courage and told him we were supposed to get dressed for church and start driving down highway 70 to the east. I expected some push back but by this time he was so used to these moves of God in he he did not even question it. We dressed. Put the girls in the car and started driving. My ex husband asked periodically where we were going. I said I did not know. I would know when we got there. After an hour passed he suggested maybe I missed this one. I said I knew I would be told when we got there. Just keep driving.
Finally about an hour and a half straight down highway 70 there was an empty exit with no gas station or any other sign of life. It appeared to just go off into fields and pastures. I said, “Turn in here”. My ex noted there was nothing there. I said, “Turn in here.” He did and right on the other side of the over pass in the exit just behind a little hill keeping it from being visible from the highway was a tiny little church the size of a one room school house.
I said there. He said, “Well Ill be………”
We pulled into the yard and parked. I took the girls to the bathroom. He sat down back right side of the room. When I joined him the pastor introduced himself and welcomed us. We chatted for a bit. Then his congregation started coming in. My ex husband asked me if I was going to prophecy. My ex husband asked me if I was going to prophecy. I said I did not know. I had no idea why were were there. God just said go. So I went. I had no idea if this congregation even believed in prophecy in our day or the five fold ministry or Acts Chapter 2. IF the members there and the pastor did not already believe and receive I knew for a fact Jesus would not testify in that place. Jesus of Nazareth will not break a bent reed. He has never caused an ache to the heart or a tear to any ones eye. He would not give testimony to them if it was not already the belief and practice of the ones assembling together.
The pastor introduced himself. It was obvious we were visitors here. He asked us where we were from. We said Kansas City. He thanked us for visiting. Invited us to stay and have lunch with them after the service which is their Sunday custom. Then he opened the service with prayer.
We sang and praised and worshipped and then the congregation got quiet and waited for prophecy. So I knew the congregation believed in the second chapter of Acts and worked in the power gifts. This pastor clearly expected a testimony from Jesus from one of his congregation. But none came. We sang and waited for prophecy. None came. We sang and waited ……. At the direction of the Holy Spirit I prophesied when no one from the congregation brought forth. The word I was given was judged as true and accepted by the pastor and the elders there. It was a word of encouragement. A word of love from Jesus to them to go ahead and walk in the gifts given to them for the edification and provision to the church.
The pastor stood up and told the whole congregation he had been telling them IF they would not be obedient to the call and election of the Holy Spirit Creator GOD would send in a prophet from outside.
Wow. It would have been nice if Jesus would have clued me in where I was going and why I was going there and that the pastor was fasting for the gifts to function in his people. But as his witness called to give the Testimony of Jesus in the congregations my job is just to hear his voice and do it. Obedience without question or hesitation.
The pastor called out the one or two who he recognized had the call and was refusing to be obedient to the Spirit of Prophecy, testimony of Jesus in our day. The pastor admonished them. His sermon was on the gifts of the Spirit and the 5 fold ministry.
We did stay for pot luck lunch with them after the service. It turns out this tiny church was planted by the pastor of the healing church where I first prophesied, received my call and training, and was sent forth rather dramatically.
That was dynamic in itself. Come to find out the pastor of that tiny church was the best friend of a pastor in the town where my husband was born and grew up in the middle of the state. The very town where my ex father in law was a deacon in the Southern Baptist church in the town of about 1000 people. The biggest church in town. The church this pastors best friend was pastoring in my ex husbands home town was facing persecution from my ex father in law specifically. The pastor of the tiny church where we were enjoying lunch called his friend in my ex husbands home town. My ex husband knew about this church. The pastor there told my ex husband his dad had waged war against that congregation and its leadership. He asked my ex husband if he had told his dad he was a spirit filled tongue talking child of God and that I gave testimony for Jesus ……..
That would be no. We had not told any one in either family. This would soon drive a wedge between my ex husband and I and both of our families.
Wow again.
We went back to our home in Kansas that afternoon. I was filled with the wonder and the goodness of Creator GOD. My faith was increased exponentially. The events of the day had been an enormous confirmation to me for my call and position in the 5 fold ministry. I have never seriously question the direction of the Holy Spirit or my ability to hear the direction of the Holy Sprit since then. This is a powerful part of my armor as I work in my capacity for Creator GOD. I know it is truth. Nothing anyone says or does against me will shake this. The truth of it sustains me. I hope it gives you an anchor to hold on to in your daily lives.
CREATOR GOD IS REAL. The original being is in his Holy Heaven and Jesus the Christ of God is with him seated at his right hand. True Sons we are going home!
