I should have waited!

I just got home from a really awesome prayer meeting. I don't know why more people don't go to these things, they're just incredible. The prayer was really good, and then when we were done we talked about what God has been doing in our lives lately. This past week one of the guys, Aaron, has really been on my heart and I've just been praying for him and everything because I could just tell that there was something he needed. Well tonight he just poured out this awesome story about how he picked up this hitch hiker and God just spoke through him. He was saying he saw this guy, at like midnight, with his thumb out and felt the Spirit tell him to pick the guy up. He said that before it really even registered with him what he was about to do he was stopped and the guy was in his car. So the Lord just totally took control of his words and he laid it out and said something like "You're in my car. Do you know Jesus?" and this guy was just like "Can Jesus really love me?" and then spilled out this story and all the things that he'd done. By the end of it this man that he had picked up started praying. It was just an awesome time where Aaron was attentive to the Spirit and God moved in a profound way.

When he finished I knew that there was a reason I had been praying for him, praying protection over him, and this was it. I am soooo proud of him! So proud that he heard the voice of God and was obedient, and because of that God was able to do great things and break down some walls in this stranger's life. And then I could really just see it, the greatness in Aaron. Not like Alexander the Great kind of greatness, that fleshly prideful kind of greatness, but the greatness of the Kingdom of Heaven. The greatness that comes from being intimate with the Spirit of God. I could see that he is destined for so much more than he ever imagined. In my excitement at this revelation I actually blurted out what I have just written, and I think it might have freaked him out a little. (Sorry Aaron, couldn't help it, it just bounced right out of me). Seriously though, I just couldn't contain it. It's been so long since I've had anything like that come over me, I couldn't just keep it in.

What God is doing is so... ... ... WOW... ... ...that's the best I can come up with. The human tongue cannot speak the things that I want to say, and the human mind is far to small to think of the words the tongue should say. I wish you could all be here to see it and experience it. I hope and pray that you see God move this way where you live, or that you see God move in an even more awesome way. May peace be with you, and the Spirit of the Living God be upon you, dear reader. There is no greater blessing I can give you than that, it is the best, because it is Love in it's deepest most extravagant form. Yes, Jesus can and does love you, no matter where you are at, what you believe. He has, he always will. The only time it is too late to change your life is when you are dead and burried. But, I encourage you not to wait until then. When you realize that you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want the rest of your life to start right now. So, should you realize that you want to spend the rest of your life with the Lord of Hosts, the Christ, don't put it off. Start the rest of your life right now, in this very moment, and live everyday like it's your last.
