I am fairly new here and most of you folks havent really heard any of my stories (Testimoies!) I used to tell them a lot but then I re-read one of my Testimonies one time and it made me feel like I was bragging somehow? So I eased off of the Testimoies for awhile and that is why I havent posted any yet.
But I mentioned a good Testimoy that I have in a thread, but didn't go into it for brevity's sake. So maybe I should start there and tell that entire Testimony. Besides, I ran across Psalm 105 today and it says...
1 Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness.
Let the whole world know what he has done.../NLT
On that note here is what happend the day that I heard the audible voice of God. Jesus specifically.
It must've been 2011-2012? I was sitting at my computer checking my emails. I wasn't on any forums at the time. I wasn't praying. Nothng. I was about worldly bussiness of emails. Suddenly I felt the Lord Jesus walk into my room. I felt it before He spoke and it was like the atmosphere in the room became electrified with power and if felt so powerful that it was instantly knowable that, I was before God. He did not manifest Himseld so that I could see Him. I saw nothing. I felt it ompletely permeating my being. I had less than 2 seconds to take this in and then He spoke audibly to me.
Even as He began to speak, I knew that I know who is speaking. I recognized that voice! I was amazed that I recognized His voice because (as far as I can remember) I have never heard His voice before. But I very much recognized His voice.
Jesus spoke to me then:
"Pray for your Brother (we'll call him Bill for privacy. He needs help pray for him..."
It was then that In my opinion was the stupidest thing that I could have done. I said,
Why? What happened? Is he ok?... (That was a huge mistake!)
The Lord answered me, except His tone had changed. He did not chide me or condemn my stupid actions or anything, just changed His tone. And the tone struck Terror into me! He said:
He needs help now, Pray for him now...
The nearest I can describe the tone He used is similar to the tone that Parents of children sometimes use on their children that conveys the message that, I aint playing Do It! That kind of tone.
Due to my terror, I resonded instantly with: Yes Lord. And I went straight into prayer for the man that man that needs help. Lord send Bill some help he needs help please it is urgent.da da da. And when I said Amen, the Lord with His powerful presence left I felt the glory, goodness and love of God along with some terror! When iHe left, I was left sitting there not knowing what happened? I didn't even know why Bill needed help, or if he got help? I have never met Bill I met him on an online Christian forum and we were buddies. So I knew who it was that needed help, just not what happened. God didn't share any details with me so I went online to the forum and sent Bill a PM and told him what happened to me, and asked what happened to him and did he get help?
I sent the PM off and had to wait until he responded. A few hours later he did respond and he told me that he was in school in his adult classes and something went wrong with his blood sugar and he needed to get something sweet from the vending machine or else collapse and die I think? He said he felt it coming on so got up and left the class room but he didn't make it to the vending machines. He collapsed in the hallway. No one else was in the hlls, they were all in classes. This is some sort of very small school where everyone knows everyone. He said he laid in the hallway and then a stranger dressed in suit was there saying, I'm here to help Brother, what do you need? So Bill said OJ....And like a flash the guy was back with OJ and opened it for him. And he drank the OJ and when he looked up from drinking, the stranger was gone.
Bill told me that judging from the time stamp on my PM to him on the forum, I messaged him while it was all going on right then. And I messaged him right after Jesus left! So everything was absolutely confirmed for me. My prayer helped my Brother in Christ. And I was thinking it through...
God does not need me in order to help someone. What's this all about? Then I was humbled and felt privleged to have been allowed to particpate in the helping of a man who needed help. Praise the Lord for indeed! Then I remembered Zechariah and how he was struck dumb for questioning the Angel of the Lord and I thought (with my chin on the floor) I could have been struck down or struck dumb or something for questioning the Lord! So the very big lesson that I learned from the encounter is simple and deep.
If the Lord tells you to do something, the only correct answer is: Yes, Lord! (And obey Immediately)
After all, time may be of the essence for someone who needs help. I thanked God so much for not striking me dumb for being stupid! I still thank Him for it. Praise God that He loves me and so taught me with a tone instead of a greater malady!! Somehow I feel like that was a close call!
Brother Bill could have died from that condition if he didnt get help? Is that right? I know next to nothing about diabetes which is what I am guessing it is? Pretty sure it is a dangerous condition.
But, Wow, Brothers & Sisters. That was intense! It was the most powerful presence that I had ever felt before (Or Since!) Even if the Lord did not manifest Himself so that I could see Him, I sure did feel Him. And when Jesus walks into the room...everything else stops and His presence takes over. And you will know that it is Him!!!!
