Ephesians 6:10 NKJV
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
One day recently I picked up a stone that is on my nightstand that has a quote from Psalm 61:1 – “…Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. ”I closed my eyes and visualized myself handing it to our Father in Heaven. It was a way of me offering up that prayer I have prayed many times with that stone in my hand. Suddenly I saw in my spirit the Father push my hand away, rejecting the stone. I was puzzled. Then a strong, large burst of light came between us. I didn’t have time to find out what that all meant at the time but I knew I needed to get an answer. I left for my break not long after and in the middle of the first night of my break (Monday-Tuesday, October 11 and 12, 2021) I was meditating on Proverbs 1:6 when I was reminded of my inner vision. The verse talked about solving or understanding riddles. God speaks to us often in mysteries and we have to solve them to get what He wants to say. The secrets are not hidden from us but hidden for us. As I studied what I saw, I understood. First, our Father wanted me to no longer bring that request to Him. This is why he pushed the stone away. It was not that the request could not be granted, but He wanted me to handle it myself. The huge burst of light represented power, energy, ability, strength. The message was that He had given me the power to make it happen myself. It doesn’t mean I will accomplish this without Him. He still gets the glory because the power I have to get it done came from Him. (The scripture at the beginning of this blog talks about us operating in God’s power.) Since that encounter I have been experiencing that power and energy in a tangible way. Stay with the Lord. There are so many wonderful adventures that await us when we continue with Him.
