Believe in a Wink

What an amazing weekend at "Advancing Your Message" with Women’s Empowerment University (WEU)  in Bellbrook, OH at “Restoration Ranch”, Deborah Lovett’s home, with Donna Partow and Deborah Lovett.

You may remember the post “Beauty from Ashes” and how God showed  me He would fulfill a dream I had five years prior to meet Deborah and see her home. This past weekend I was able to be in her beautiful home with women who desire to honor God by fulfilling God’s calling on their life by advancing their message.

I am going to share one of the winks that is simple but profound.  Isn’t it like our God to use the simple to blow our minds about Him, His love, and His care? He touched me from heaven through one word: Believe.

Believe became the bookends to a beautiful weekend of experiencing the power of prayer! Many women, including a group of women fasting, were praying for our time with Donna and Deborah.  Prayers were answered mightily!

Someone told me in the past few months that my future would depend on one word: Believe.    

Fast forward a couple months to the Advance:

 

·     The first event was a Luau Friday evening to gather and socialize and get an introduction to our weekend.  Donna and Deborah offered to pray over any lady with anointing oil that wanted to stay.  When Donna prayed it was powerful as always!  When she was done, she said "Wow!  Are you starting to believe?"  

·     Donna and Deborah prayed over every lady there on Saturday throughout the day.   Donna prayed again for me at the end of the day.  This time short, but powerful, she prayed over me the word Believe saying “Believe, Believe, Believe” at the end, holding my forehead on either side with her hands anointing my mind with prayer.  I knew God’s spirit was working.

 

·     Sunday morning I found a bagged gift from one of the women who stayed in my home. This one blew my mind that the God of the universe would put His word to me on a gift bag!!  The bagged gift had the word, BELIEVE, on the outside. Not only the word, but the phrase “Deep in your heart, Believe, you are destined to do great things”!

 





 The weekend had the word "Believe" as bookends to a beautiful story of the power of prayer calling Him to show up and show off!! God did not disappoint, He is glorious!

It was an amazing weekend filled with divine appointments. God winked all weekend, not only in my life, but in many of the lives of the women I met. He allowed me a front row seat to the power of god and the moving of His spirit. I am humbled that He allowed my spiritual eyes to be wide open and my heart to be free to hear.

How is God showing up in your life and showing off His love to you in tangible ways? Maybe it isn't a gift bag, but I pray your spiritual eyes are open to see Him. He is all around you.
