But what really, really moved the Holy Spirit within me, was later on. I went back to church for what was called, "One Night with the King...in His Sanctuary"....We were taken through the steps of getting to the Most Holy Place.
The Courtyard:
- The gates: John 14:6
- The Altar of Burnt Sacrifice: 2 Corinthians 5:21
- The Laver: Revelation 1:5
- The Candlestick: Isaiah 61:1
- The Table of Shewbread: John 6:35
- The Altar of Incense: Matthew 11:28
- The Ark of the Covenant: Hebrews 1:3
There was a mighty move of God there. God was truly present and covering. I praised Him, thanked Him, cried to Him. I didn't want it to end. But what got me the most was towards the end, when the First Lady was saying the final prayer, I just started shaking. Nothing but the Holy Spirit!
It is something because just when I thought I couldn't love God anymore, I was shown otherwise. For all that He has done for me, I can't give Him enough. I am so grateful and thankful for Him being in my life. Nothing or no one is ever worth me losing my relationship with God. I am truly filled tonight...
As I was driving back home, I reflected on one specific thing. My relationship with my oldest son. It hadn't always been good. Especially since he reminded me of his father. He had just texted me to tell me he didn't like where his dad had taken him to eat. I told him to try to find something on the menu he might like. He said ok. Since walking with Jesus, my son and I have become closer. I have finally accepted him for him. He's not an angel, but I always see him trying. And even going on 15yrs old, as he leaves me to visit his father on the weekends, he still kisses me and tells me he loves me. He's not the angry young man I used to see. His loving side has truly come forth, to me and I pray he will continue to keep that loving spirit as he continues to mature. I pray for both of my boys to become Great Men of God. I use to think as a single mother, how could I do this? They need a male to guide them. But guess what? God is showing me something I never knew. That I can guide them as well, with His help. And when the time comes God will send a true Man of God to come into their lives and continue to guide them. God is so awesome! Amazing, loving, caring, providing....God is everything and He is everything to me. Thank you Jesus!
God Bless!
The conference sounds like it was awesome. God is always right there waiting for us to let him in. You are a good example to me. And I know your boys will come around. Blessings.
