Luke 18:17 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”
The subject of the Morning Message yesterday was “Divine Communication.” This is when we communicate with God, Spirit to spirit. As I was writing the Morning Message yesterday, the Lord reminded me of the first time He communicated with me, Spirit to spirit. I was very young, but it was a day I shall never forget.
I don’t remember the exact date, but I was about five or six years old at the time. My grandmother planted a vegetable garden every year in our backyard, and one summer day I was by myself in the garden when all of a sudden a very special thing happened.
I did not hear a voice or see anything, but the most wonderful and powerful feeling came over me. It was unlike anything I had ever felt before, and I knew it was special. I can remember being caught up in that feeling as I felt the Presence of God all around me, and at that moment, I knew He was real.
No one talked about God in my house, so I didn’t share the experience with anyone until decades later. I knew in my very young heart that God had spoken to me in a special way. He wanted me to know He was real, no matter what anyone else said.
From that day forward, no one could tell me God was not real. I knew He was real because He had communicated with me in a divine way; Spirit to spirit.
As a child, few people talked to me about anything. I was raised to be seen and not heard and to be quiet unless spoken to because, as my mother told me so many times, “Shut up. No one cares what you have to say.” Needless to say, there was not much love in our family.
As I grew up, I made MANY poor decisions and did lots of things wrong, but I always knew in my heart God was real and that He loved me even if no one else did.
That “knowing” became real to me through Divine Communication that day in my grandmother’s vegetable garden when I was just five or six years old. I thank God for that day and for Him loving me enough to make His Presence known to me. On that day, I was changed forever.
Only God can……….turn the tide
So grateful, Doreen
