It was mid-afternoon that day, April 22, 1985.
I was sitting on the couch,... at home alone.
It was quiet in the house,... TV off,... no music playing,... just dead quiet.
I was contemplating some decisions and directions I was taking at that time in my life(not questioning the decisions,... just pondering where they would take me,... felt good about them).

From out of no where,... instant, and without warning,... a 'force' hit me hard and fast,(like being sucker-punched from behind). Next thing I know I am on the floor, spread-eagle, in front of the couch. Things are coming out of me, while the most incredible 'presence' is filling me. And though I somehow knew it was God, I also knew that I hadn't asked for it, nor had I even necessarily 'consciously' wanted this thing that was happening to me,.... IT JUST HAPPENED,... uninvited, unstopable, and unending for what seemed like an eternity, as this holy and incredible 'presence', GOD, held me to the floor and pressed His Spirit into me(don't get me wrong,... I wouldn't have stopped it even if I could have,... the power of His love was completely overwhelming,... indescribable,... saturating me to the depths of my soul).

When I was finally let up off the floor, I was completely changed,.... I mean I felt COMPLETELY changed,... like new,... clean from the inside out. Many 'things' had left me during that time on the floor while His Spirit pressed into me,(including those decisions and directions I had just been contemplating). Some of the other things that left me, I knew what they were as they left,... as though their 'names' were being called out as they left me,... things that defile, (the very sins that unknowingly held me captive, were released,... 'washed away', if-you-will).

I walked to the window and looked out;..... the grass was literally greener than ever before,....the sky bluer than ever before(the clarity was incredible)... I had never felt so alive!


Well,... from that point on, my family was never the same,(to say the least). As God's Word literally became ALIVE to me and I began sharing with anyone that would listen, old friends thought that I had lost my mind or something, and shyed away from me. New friends (ya,.... 'christians',... the 'church') just didn't come any easier, as my story and the passion that drives me makes it hard for others to relate and hang.

But so-be-it,.... for He has said that "the gate is narrow, and the path difficult".
He has also said, "Few find the path that leads to righteousness,... EVEN FEWER FOLLOW IT."

"Lines drawn,... Choices made"



I know Whom I have believed on, and Who it is that has called me to follow Him,...
Jesus,... Yeshua Mishiyach.



Peace be upon this house

Shalom, Wilderness and thanks for sharing. We are all being asked to make those kinds of choices in these last days......

Blessings in Yeshua,

Dear Wilderness... just read your testimony. Praise YAHVEH for such a calling and deliverance. He is so merciful and loving.

I am suddenly being anointed as I write this because the Holy Spirit must want me to share with you what just came to me... as I thought of you... and I don't know if you're a man or woman... but I started to consider that what happened to you...

(and how you have thought why did it happen when so out of the blue in that way?... as if it was a Divine decision and intervention in your life)...

it's like how the prophet Jeremiah was taken by the Spirit down to the "potters house"... to watch him work. Perhaps He would have you read about it... you may know what the Lord said to Jeremiah... that He was the Potter and we are the clay in His hands... (yes another very strong anointing going over me again right now... Praise God! Thank you)

...and that it is His perogative to make one vessel to honour (more anointings... this is amazing... He must love you so much "Wilderness Voice!... I'm getting so blessed here) and another to dishonour... one to be like a beautiful object and the other to hold garbage and who are we to argue with the potter and say "Why did you make me like this".....( Oh Lord more anointings)... I pray He will quicken this Word to you Himself and show you whatever He wants.

Our dear Lord laboured in prayer for us before giving Himself as the sacrifice Lamb... He willingly bowed His knees... fell on His face... for the Father was His only refuge... all His (more anointing) friends were asleep to "Who" He really was and what He was really there to do. He had said..."A prophet has NO honour in His own home town". So true... it's those who have always known us who tend to scoff and never acknowledge the call on our lives. This is a personal agony in our Garden of Gethsemany but the Lord is truely able to "deliver" us out of temptation and all our problems. We are never to look to others for our sustainance for the Lord Himself is our Holy Bread and Wine...

Come eat and drink of Him... you are married to Him now... you are not your own... you have been bought with a Great Price... and even if others scoff and despise you at times... forgive them for they do not understand what has happened to you Wilderness... they do not perceive what it is like to be "Born again" into the Glorious Kingdom of God... where all things become New and Wonderful in His Love... Amen.

I wouldn't call this a prophecy but it was certainly inspired by the Holy Ruah Spirit as I started to write... so may Father Yahveh and Yahshua bless you and bring you forth from the wilderness of this world as gold tried in the fire.
Susan

Blessings to both;.....
Susan in Colorado, and Susan in Queensland

You seem to me like a beautiful and gracious pair of bookends...(smiles)

Thank you

It's that beautiful One,

...the King of Love in whom we share love and mercy and faith and kindness etc. He is dressed in garments that smell of myrrh and aloes and cassia... and His Bride is dressed in gold from O'phir.

This is the Messiah and the Bride of Messiah... His queen from Psalm 45!

Bless you both too. Amen.

You are so right Susan!

I had a dream a few months ago of Jesus. In my dream I was busy doing something, then all of a sudden I smelled this fragrance of frankinsence, myrrh, and other spices (almost like anointing oil). I instantly knew that it was Him and I turned around and there He was. I ran to Him and gave Him a big hug.

Then I had another dream where in my dream I was laying down in my bed. All of a sudden, I smelled this fragrance again. I smiled and said "Jesus", then he walked to my bed and gave me a kiss on the cheek. Then the dream ended.

You are blessed Trin!

I got an anointing just reading that.
I have smelt roses a few times. Last time was when I came out of a bank. I had been praying about something I had to do in there... can't remember what. It wasn't my own bank. Anyway as I steped out the front door and walked across the footpath and onto the road... it was like walking through a "wall" of rose perfume. Not just a wiff but I smelt it for a couple of breaths then I walked "out" of it. I turned around after a few metres and and walked straight back but it was gone. I stood there sniffing the air. walked all around. It was gone but I assumed it was the Lord's way of saying He was with me in what I was doing at the time. Absolutely can't rememember what!
There was no one else on or near the footpath so it couldn't have been perfume from someone else.

God is so good. Amen

Susan

Thanks for sharing, that was awesome! I love to see God at work with the miraculous in our day, not just what happened in the bible. I think I'll share my testimony too. It still excites me seeing how God supernaturally changed my life.
