I have always been one of those hyper-analytical types: the ones who pull every thought and action apart for a deeper meaning, and if I cannot see "sense" in it I dismiss it as unimportant. Within the past few days God has blown that thought process to bits. I am learning that when He wants to speak to us He will first see whether we will obey Him "just because He said it".
When a parent wants their child to follow a command, some may say as the reason "Because I said so." A child may look at his/her parent when they say this and wonder "Who do they think they are?" But with God Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth and all things that move and have their being, it pays great dividends to do something He impresses on your spirit JUST BECAUSE HE SAID SO!!!
There were two events I was impressed upon to attend within the past few days and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what was so important about them. Why did I have to attend? They were both church events, but I would not have listed them as critical. Anyway, I made the necessary arrangements, endured hardships (like major traffic for one event) and attended. I was so immeasurably blessed that I cannot even go into details at this moment. But I must say that the dividends I reaped in unquestioning obedience TO GOD will pay well for the rest of my life!
The second event was very interesting. As our Bishop Donald Hilliard Jr. laid hands on a young couple that was commissioned to lead a great work of the Lord, I was moved in an unusual way while observing that act. I have seen many Bishops and pastors do so but our man of God is one who is equipped with a unique set of gifts and a powerful, prophetic anointing - and I saw an immediate transfer of a mantle from one generation to the next. The Lord ministered to me during the entire journey home on the importance of the impartation scene I had just witnessed. I was speechless in my car as He opened up a scene in my future, where a powerful spiritual mantle will also be passed on to me and my future generations in a similar service, just as I had prayed earnestly about for many years.
Let us be determined that when He prompts us to move, we don't ask too many questions (or ANY questions, for that matter). Sometimes it's because He's setting us up for blessings we have yet to imagine, see or fathom! Sometimes He wants to confirm His promises to us by demonstration. If you are absent where He wants you to be present, you will miss that key moment FOREVER!
