Yesterday was a remarkable day that I will try and put words to. God has been focusing me on the power of words and to the added portion my prayer warrior added, words can be prophetic. Yesterday had 5 counseling sessions in it. In each one there was a presence of Jesus I knew. It wasn’t new to me for I know Jesus’ presence is a promise. But, this time there was a confidence I hadn’t known before. There were “words” needing to be spoken in response to what the client was saying. In each case, they were words of clarification to what they believed were true for themselves. One lady said, “Your words are prophetic for me. They are what God has wanted me to hear. Thank you.” And then, she broke and cried–I did too.

She then told me something about herself she had never shared with anyone. It tied to a severe sexual abuse time in her younger years. A line she used was, “God asked if she would be willing to give her body to Him?” She went on to say that when she had heard a retreat speaker use this line, she knew God wanted this from her too. As I heard it, I had the same sense for myself. So, this morning I surrendered my body to God for Him to use. I’m not afraid to share my story (with Earnie boundaries). However, this morning I told God I’d let Him set the boundaries for what I share as He would nudge me to do so.

All of my life I’ve so wanted to be useful for God. I just hadn’t realized until yesterday how often I shield what I share about my own past. I needed to awaken to how big TRUST needs to be for me. I can trust God in sharing for His nudges never need to be a threat as I’ve so often felt.

Words are POWERFUL and God does use them PROPHETICALLY as well when we are surrendered to Him. In this I can have humble confidence!
