Sister Olivia touched on a great subject in another thread with a teacup story, how God spoke to her in a unique, personal way and told her to do something and stepping out in faith she did and was able to witness God working in another person's life.
I have had the same experience many times in my life, so how about we glorify the Lord and let's recount what He has done in our lives in this way, one criteria, no one else knew what He told us to do, it was a personal word to us.
Here's one of mine, during a period of discipline and chastening in my walk, He allowed my pickup to be taken away from me and through His mercy and grace provided me with a scooter, the capacity of a scooter to haul tools is very limited so I had to be very careful and prudent in what tools I needed each day, since I am the maintenance man for 78 apartments I have my work scheduled one, two days in advance, one morning as I was reviewing the work I had to do the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and told me to take a basin wrench, now that in it's self was interesting because back in '94 I was guide for some friends visiting California, we were at Home Depot and He told me to buy the wrench, here I am ten years later, having never used the wrench, packing it under the seat of my scooter, ...and of course there was an emergency that day where I needed that very wrench, because no other tool would of worked, ...and at that time it was the only one in Tahiti.
Praise the Lord,
Gene
