A friend asked for a “prophetic word”.
I don’t think I’ve ever been asked for a prophetic word before. But then I didn’t grow up in a charismatic tradition.
I paused, took a breath, and repeated the first thought that popped into my head.
“It’s all okay. It’s all going to be okay.”
“How do you do that?”
I guess what I said was helpful? I figured it was trite. True, but trite.
“I don’t know. Get quiet, take a breath, and try as best I can to empty my mind.”
“How do you know when you’re hearing from God?”
Um, I don’t ever know one hundred percent.
Do you know how many times I’ve misheard the Holy Spirit?
I do pray often to hear God’s voice only. (And not my own and not the enemy’s and not anyone else’s.)
I don’t know that I have any prophetic words. Maybe just things I’ve learned while living life.
It’s about learning to trust. To trust that He has things handled.
In a world that does anything but breed trust, isn’t that a challenge.
In a world that encourages us all to be control freaks, isn’t that a challenge.
Obedience, faithfulness, dilgence are our responsibility. Results are His.
