The Awakening
This morning I was awoken around 2:00 a.m. I knew immediately that it was the Holy Spirit. It always seems to happen when I am sleeping so good. I mean, when you are in this really good sleep and you find yourself awake. The thing is you have the power to turn over and go right back to sleep. You can feel your body wanting to turn over and lay back down, but you know God is calling you.
This is what we call battling with our flesh, or spiritual warfare. Our flesh is telling us to do something completely opposite of our spirit and we have to decide who gets our attention. At the time I did not realize it but the 2:00 am wake up call was the best thing ever for me. I had been on this journey to get to know the Holy Spirit in a deeper way!
When I knew this was an answer to my prayers. I waited and listened while I lay in the bed. I was so excited that I was right in agreement with the Holy Spirit. He had actually come early to wake me up and I could hear Him speaking to me. I could hear the silence. I knew it was Him! I asked if I could get up and go into another room as to not disturb my husband, but He told me to lay there. I just continued to listen to the silence. The longer I laid there silently the more I knew He wanted me there. I could feel His presence and I just listened to the silence. Eventually He told me I could get up and go to the other room. I took a pen and my journal and begin to write all that He had given me.
I am learning to hear the Holy Spirit and recognize His voice just like I recognize my husband’s voice. It does not matter where I am when my husband speaks I know it is him. This is the place where I believe God wants us all to be with Him. He wants us to recognize and know Him in such a way that no matter what is going on in our lives we hear Him directing us. Why? Because He has the best plans for our lives and He knows what is up ahead. However, most of all it is because God loves us so much that He wants a deep intimate relationship with each one of us. Think of the one you love and what you would do to have this type of amazing relationship with them! God desires that a million times more and we know this to be true because He sent His only son to die for us. As the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you Isaiah 62:5, ESV.
If you find yourself awake early in the morning, don’t go back to sleep answer the call because ELOHIM the creator of this world, wants to talk to you! How exciting!!
