Sometimes I get messages from God. I don't hear thunder or trumpets or Orson Welles or anything like that. What I get is what I feel or perceive as an intention. The best way to describe it is what I personally feel or think before I turn my own thoughts into words or speech. Only it’s not me. It’s His intention. But because it’s “pre words,” I can usually put it into words and communicate it.
As I said in an earlier post, I asked God in prayer about my current financial situation and He said it would be all right. This was one of those intentions. Well, it's been a few months since that and my financial situation has gotten more dire, as I also said in the previous post.
Despite this, I chose to participate in another Kairos ministry to prisoners this past weekend (and I will share more with you on the weekend itself in another post). During the weekend, God put this worry out of my mind, but once the weekend was over it came roaring back in the form of a dream where I accidentally find out my father owes someone $100,000.
Frightened awake by this thought, I decided to pray about the money woes, in part because I didn’t want to get up at 5:00 AM after having to get up at 5:00 AM for the last several days. So I prayed to God, thanking him for the Kairos weekend and for letting me know that it was going to be all right, and then asking him to guide me as to what I am supposed to do about the money.
And all God said to me was “I got this,” like He was the Rock in an action movie getting ready to fight one guy so that the rest of the team could complete the mission. It was supremely funny and a bit bewildering because I generally think that one needs to take some sort of action in order to rectify one's situation.
But God is God and he wants me to sit tight and watch him work. So much like catching a film with Dwayne Johnson, I'll just sit back and see what happens next.
