Things That Go Bump in the Light
Posted on August 23rd, 2009 9 comments
I was concerned about some things that are happening with myself, with friends and with online friends. I told my wife last night that if we took a snapshot right now and scored the events, it looks like there’s a lot of spiritual movement and the bad guys are winning hands down. So I lay down on my back on my bed and closed my eyes.My mind wandered from the task at hand so I opened my eyes and looked down toward my feet. I see something blurry nearer a dresser past my feet against that wall. Then the blur becomes a scene as if someone was focusing a camera. Once focused it was hi-def clear — it was a familiar tree from our backyard with a familiar number of stars against a black sky. I see one star just above the top of the tree become a shooting star, scratching a perfect bright white line straight up and then burning out.
I blink and the scene is gone, I think “Yeah, right.” I then start to open and close my eyes, squint, change angles, all in an attempt to reproduce the picture but nothing. I am overwhelmed with the feeling that something important is happening either right at that moment or today. That feeling stays with me and I begin contacting people about it. I think this must be a positive sign. We’re to “shine like stars in the universe as we hold out the word of life” (Php 2).
I pray that God if this is a sign that something very important and positive is going to happen to me that He not do it. I asked God to let the cup pass me in favor of my friends in greater need.
Several things happened today that I will report back on with comments to this post. Is one of those things THE thing. Are all of them? Did something big happen today in the lives of the people I asked God to help?
More coming …
There are three major wins in this group, one medical, one job and one financial gain. There’s more to do but “wow”, thank you Jesus. The number went from two to three this morning when one of the people I prayed for (above) received great financial news in the form of a job for her dad. She’s thanking Jesus and so am I.

Wow. I love it when God reveals His presence. In an unpublished book I’m reading by “Max Lucado” it says “It’s not the absence of storms that sets us apart. It’s whom we discover in the storm: an unstirred Christ.” Book will be out Sept 8 called Fearless.

I think God is moving in an obvious fashion, because the enemy has launched a full frontal attack on this group.

Yes, I believe we are all called to SHINE as you have so succinctly pointed out. God is moving you to greater things and moving us all to His greater purpose. We are all on the brink of something big, y’know. And when we talk to others and encourage them in this then they begin to see it, too, and they realize that big things have been there all along. It’s an exciting time to be alive. What an inspiring story. Continue shining your light.

As I recall, last week I had a dream and God said “can you hear me?” I answered “yes” and God said “they can’t” and showed me my family beside me unable to hear His voice. Interesting.

Thanks for all the encouragement, this is a strong group. Christine, that’s the uniquely obvious way God seems to be moving on occasion. I sense something is up, that the spiritual warfare in our lives, certainly in mine, is intensifying.

One of the three people that I sought help for in my prayer has already had something major happen and is behaving like a new person.

One of the families in this group has received blessing and blessing, spiritual, financial and medical since September. The second family now has Dad about to start the job he gained in September. The third family narrowly missed homelessness but lifted their finances through online contributions, see my post herein entitled “And Then There Was One” and they ended up in a new apartment that they prefer and that costs significantly less.
How great is our God?!

Looking back at this - reflecting on how valuable prayer is - yes..your sacrifice of time, prayer and your own needs was amazing during that time. I owe you soo much for that. I would have never, ever made it without you. You were my rock. you need to know that. [nodding] you were steadfast, strong and didn’t give up, and God always made sure you were around when I needed prayers. That was unbelievable to me. you said you’d just check the computer after you had gone off for the evening… and you’d rally the troops. amazing. Prayer changes things! I’m honored that you prayed for my family!
