THE PREPARATION of the BRIDE October 2015-2016 - JESUS IS COMING SOON!

 This was a clear vision full of vivid color that was laid upon my heart on October 12, 2015....

   I was walking in a place where, in my peripheral vision, I could tell there was a bright, colorful landscape around me.  I was told that I could eat of anything that was around me, but in my heart, I turned it down, knowing it wasn't important.  I seemed focused on something else....
  Suddenly, I was holding a beautiful, dazzling white, Spring/Summer/Fall wedding dress (sleeveless with lattice back) up in front of me, admiring it.  I was singing of the Lord Jesus' coming!  It was beautiful!  Then it was over...

  As I sought the Lord for understanding, it came to me that it was of a Bride preparing herself for her wedding day.  At first, I thought of the Gentile bride and how it takes her 6 months to prepare for her wedding.   That is about the time when the Lord corrected me, and led me to realize it had to do with the Jewish bride!

The culminating step in the Process of the Jewish Wedding
The final step in the wedding process is called - Nissuin - the word commons from the Hebrew verb - hsn ( nasa) - which means , "to carry." This is a graphic description - as the bride would be waiting for her groom to come - to carry her off to her new home. The period of the betrothal - was a time of great anticipation - as the bride waited for the arrival of her betrothed. One of the unique features of the Biblical Jewish wedding was the time of the groom's arrival - it was to be a surprise:

• The bride took the betrothal seriously - expecting him  at the end of the year long period of the betrothal.
• She knew the approximate timing - but the exact hour or day was uncertain.
• It was the father of the groom who would give the final approval for the marriage to begin.

     **************************************************************************

     After researching similarities between the betrothal (preparation) of the Jewish bride and the second coming of Jesus (Rapture), the Holy Spirit laid upon my heart the Feast of the Trumpets.  I pondered how others had said that Jesus' coming was to happen during this feast, but I had never taken it to heart until now.  I looked up on the 2015 calendar when this will occur, and it showed it as the end of September...exactly one year after I received this vision of the preparation of the Bride.

FEAST DATE CORRECTION:   I didn't realize that the Feast of Trumpets could be in September or October.  On Sept. 28, 2016, I sensed the Lord directing me to seek out when the Feasts were actually to take place.  The 2016 Feast of Trumpets starts on the eve of October 2rd with Yom Kippur on October 12, 2016 and ends on the final day of the Feast of Tabernacles, October 23, 2016!  This got me curious!
    I did not know the exact time I had been given this dream of the preparation of the Bride, so I quickly went to look on my blog.... I received this Bride vision on October 12, 2015, exactly one year before October 12, 2016  Yom Kippur!

   October 18, 2016 note:

    I believe Jesus finished preparing his Bride on October 12, 2016!  We are ready to go the the Feast of the Lamb!
   On October 13, 2016, the first wave of energy hit the Earth the eve of October 13 and continued into October 14. Paul Begley and BPearthwatch team up about this....

   I believe that Jesus is going to come on the scene very soon and likely "at the last trump" (3rd feast of the Feast of Trumpets season - Tabernacles)  Hear Jason Eli out, and see the charts of the 3 Feasts all included in the Feast of Trumpets:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXshYC1rW3Q


     COME!   LORD JESUS!  COME!

Update:   The Lord did not come by Yom Kippur, Oct. 12, 2016, so I went before Him and asked Him why?  He put on my heart that my visions like this come to pass within a year to OVER a year (less than 2 years).  Well, we will have to watch and see!

CERN - It's Sure To Be Fired Off - Israel Protected! But Will God protect the Laodicean church?

     UPDATE on October 8th, 2017:   I have come to understand that blue represents REVELATION.  Thus, some sort of revelation from the Word of God was being given in those visions I had of Israel and of Obama and the Pope meeting.   I could do more guessing as I naively did with this commentary, but I will leave it to the reader to decide what type of revelation was being given by God.   There have been others with visions of the Pope and a black Bible.   I do know that the Lord put on my heart that day this Obama-Pope vision took place, that THE DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD began...a blue beam of light from above hitting the Bible seems to fit this understanding!

      The more I search regarding CERN, the more I realize that this blue beam of light that comes against Israel and against the Bible in my visions looks exactly like the bluish particle-like beam that is shown in pictures to emanate from CERN!  Plus, in my two visions, the beam seems to come against things that belong to God...Israel and the Word of God!  However, it comes from above and down upon Israel and the Bible, not from the side. 

     Back in 2013, in my initial translation (right after experiencing my first vision), I perceived this blue beam was something bad coming against Israel, and that God was not allowing it to hit Israel, but He created the dome forcing this emission of this attack to roll off into the hills (against Israel's enemies). 
      After that initial understanding, I tried to make the blue beam represent the Holy Spirit as someone had said that the Holy Spirit was blue in color.  It is possible that the blue beam represents the Spirit of God protecting Israel, and judging the church, but I am not so sure after hearing about CERN, and even now about Project Blue Beam.   I have to question whether or not it's the Holy Spirit because the Bible does not state that the Spirit of God is blue.  But, even if the Holy Spirit is blue due to being the brightest and purest flame, He is a flame and not a beam of light.   Back in 2013,  I did not try to seek out what this blue beam meant, yet now, God seems to want me to figure it out.  Problem is, there are three choices, and I am so new at understanding dreams!  I will begin to ask the Lord for clarification on this....

...note that when the beam comes down, a dome appears over Israel, but not over the Bible!  The blue beam STRIKES the Bible!   The day of vengeance of our God!  Could God be allowing His vengeance to occur via the upcoming action of CERN or even from Project Blue Beam?  Only time will tell...

 Wow.... I love what a friend told me...here it is...

"I think it's soooo important to DO 2 Thes.5:19-21. Be open to anyone claiming to hear from God, and "do not quench the Spirit, do not DESPISE prophetic utterances,BUT examine EVERYTHING carefully, hold fast to that which is good."


I believe for some reason God has given me these visions to help warn you to prepare your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus!   Rough times are coming for the church, but it's all going to be fast paced.   Has anyone noticed how prophetic events seem to fly by ever so swiftly?

He is the only One that can give you protection, provision and strength through whatever comes upon us in the days ahead.  I believe God is now coming into judgement with the Laodicean church!

SOMETHING BIG DID HAPPEN ON 9-23-15 !!!!

Published 9/25/15, 8:32 am PDT

                                *****************************************************


     Please do not be discouraged!  Don't throw in the towel and think that all the hub-bub over what was coming on 9-23-15 was a big bunch of hooey!  I believe the Lord made it clear to me, and I am sure to other Believers who are close to Jesus, that "the day of vengeance of our God" has surely begun! 

  God has revealed to me that every action taken by God in His Word has a purpose!  Here is why I believe 'the day of vengeance of our God' has started....

     Jesus enters the synagogue in Luke 4:18-21 and reads from Isaiah 61:1-2.  However, He only reads up to 'to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor' and then stops reading and closes the scroll.  Jesus then states, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

    Take a look at what Jesus did not read that comes after: 

Isaiah 61: 1-2b
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
    because the Lord has anointed me
    to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
    to proclaim freedom for the captives
    and release from darkness for the prisoners,^[a]
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
    and the day of vengeance of our God,

I believe with all my heart that on 9-23-15, God confirmed to me that He moved ahead with the final stages of this prophecy!

  !The Day of Vengeance of our God!

                     ******************************************************

   QUICK NOTE: Never have I searched for prophetic words from Believers of end time prophecies until the Lord spoke clear to me in a night vision/dream in the early hours of Sept. 3, 2015 confirming to me that He was going to bring to my attention many 'words,' and I was to come to a final conclusion.  That very morning upon rising and going to the computer, He brought Efrain Rodriguez's vision to my attention.  Suddenly, the Lord flooded me with the Word of God that spoke to what is to come upon the earth.*

                    ******************************************************

     As the month of September moved ahead, God led me across many Believers over YouTube.com who felt God was confirming to them that something big was to happen on Sept 23rd.  The Lord began to impress upon my heart to fast 3 days (something I had never done before).  He was making me feel like I could avoid eating for more than just one day, so I finally said 'yes.'  It wasn't until I decided to start the fast on Sunday, 9/20/15, that I realized that the days I chose were exactly the 3 days before Wednesday, 9/23/15!  The day the Pope and Obama were planning to meet...


  That very morning of 0/23/15, I was given a vision that included a blue beam of  light coming down from above.  I have had one other vision with this blue beam, and I will share this vision also.   I believe the blue beam represents a revelation being given by God.

Here are the visions:

     VISION in SPRING 2013...

     Some time in the Spring of 2013, when I was reading the Word of God, I began to grapple with the truth that we need to pray for God to bless Israel.  In my younger days, God never grappled with me over this truth, nor did I accept it, yet at this moment,  I finally accepted it!  My heart broke with compassion for the Israeli people!
     Right at that moment, I received an open vision!  A large blue beam of light flashed down from above and a dome formed, not allowing the beam to hit Israel (God impressed upon me that Israel was being protected).  Then, I saw billows of something unknown roll off into the hills away from Israel!  I felt impressed that this related to the Word of God in regards to God's protection over Israel in the end times.

     VISION on SEPTEMBER 23, 2015....

     On Sept. 23, 2015 at 5am, the Lord made it clear to me that He wanted me to spend an hour with Him (see Mark 14:37-38).  Due to having fasted for 3 days, I had the strength to overcome my flesh and the Enemy, and I was ready to spend that hour with Jesus.

     I grabbed my Bible and side desk light, and got ready to read.  I asked the Holy Spirit what He wanted me to read.  He led me to the book of Numbers by having me search for the passage about the menorah.  I came to the third prayer of Balaam, and began reading, but stopped and went to the point where the Angel of the Lord addresses Balaam, so I could review the whole story.
     As I came to the third prayer of blessing again (Numbers 24), the Holy Spirit impressed upon my spirit very strongly to read it out loud!  After reading the third blessing over Israel by Balaam out loud, I turned out the light,  laid my head on my pillow and began praying for the protection of His people along with other things that the Holy Spirit led me to pray.  I then began to praised God.  I am not sure if  I was awake or asleep when the Lord placed upon my heart that it was 9am (I do not recollect having fallen asleep).   This is where the vision started.  My vision was zoomed into a close proximity of two people, and as I got closer, I noticed it was Obama and the Pope standing facing each other.  
    I only saw the sides of their bodies and faces (about 4-6 feet from them).  After acknowledging who the men were, a Bible came into view - right between the men!  It was very dominant - black in color with distinct writing in white that stood out which said, "Holy Bible."  Immediately, a large beam of blue light flashed down from above onto it like a gavel hitting hard, and then the blue light burst out from the edges around the whole Bible.  Then it was over.  My alarm went off letting me know it was 6am PST (9am EST).

        ******************************************************************

      Well, as we all know, everything that occurs in the physical realm has a beginning in the spiritual realm.  For example - sin.  We fail first in the spiritual realm (our hearts/minds), and then, if we don't seek repentance to stop the progression, we begin to act it out physically which ultimately leads to death .

       ******************************************************************

       I believe events mentioned in Revelation are going to move very rapidly from this point on (Rev. 3).  Each seal in Rev. 6 says that 'He' (the Lord) moves to open them, and I believe the Lord confirmed to me that the 6th seal has just been opened, and will begin to strengthen and become more apparent as time moves on - ultimately to peak at some point at the end of the Great Tribulation.
       The Lord impressed upon me that each of the 7 seals found in Revelations chapters 6 start out with minor events, and gradually build till they peak at the Tribulation.  Thanks to a pastor who stated back in January 2013 that we were 'in the shadow of the Tribulation,'  I was able to confirm this understanding of the seals and even other biblical prophecies such as Joel 2:28-32 and Isaiah 61:2b!

   Jesus said, when we see these things, look up for our redemption draweth nigh!  Be encouraged!

 An extended note:

     Here is the third prayer of Balaam.  I sensed the power of the Holy Spirit flowing as I spoke it out, and how fitting the prayer was for our time in regards to Israel!

“The prophecy of Balaam son of Beor,
    the prophecy of one whose eye sees clearly,
⁴ the prophecy of one who hears the words of God,
    who sees a vision from the Almighty,^[a]
    who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:

“How beautiful are your tents, Jacob,
    your dwelling places, Israel!

⁶ “Like valleys they spread out,
    like gardens beside a river,
like aloes planted by the Lord,
    like cedars beside the waters.
⁷ Water will flow from their buckets;
    their seed will have abundant water.

“Their king will be greater than Agag;
    their kingdom will be exalted.

⁸ “God brought them out of Egypt;
    they have the strength of a wild ox.
They devour hostile nations
    and break their bones in pieces;
    with their arrows they pierce them.
⁹ Like a lion they crouch and lie down,
    like a lioness—who dares to rouse them?

“May those who bless you be blessed
  and those who curse you be cursed!”

*Ezekiel 38:17-24; Joel 2:30-32; and Rev 6 & 7 (the 6th seal)

The Speed of Revelation and the 6th seal

   Efrain Rodriguez's Vision - Asteroid, 12.0 Earthquake and Tsunami

   Can God intervene and change this man's vision of future events?

    We must remember that visions are warnings of what could happen or of coming fulfillment of prophecy mentioned in the Word of God.  If we as the church of God cry out to Him, He will intervene, and the devastation will be thwarted.  However, if it stands upon the Word of God as biblical prophecy, then it cannot be changed.  We must prepare wisely, and lean upon the Lord Jesus Christ for protection.
    Also, we must remember that the Holy Spirit speaks to His church body in unity. God gives different pieces of the puzzle to each Believer so the body of Christ will work together to search out what the Lord is saying. Obviously, God is warning many of His children today of impending danger because many Believer's are receiving visions/dreams about it, and/or their hearts are being burdened that something is ahead.

        My Night Vision Sept. 3rd, 2015

     God spoke to me in a night vision in the early hours of Sept 3rd, and told me to write it down. Never before have I had the Holy Spirit speak to me about writing a vision down. Sadly, I told Him that I would remember it in the morning (as the vision was so clear in my heart at the time, I believed I would remember it!)  Just after that, God woke me and began to grapple with me regarding the upcoming events that could happen to us here in America.  It was about ISIS/Iran/Islam taking over.  It was terrorizing to even consider!
    When morning came, I could barely remember what my vision was about, but I knew it was somehow related to my wakeful terror of what could be coming to America.  I went to my computer where God led me to search the internet for something (I can't even remember now what it was) which brought me across Efrain Rodriguez's vision and prophetic statement. Suddenly, I felt the confirmation of the Holy Spirit as He impressed upon me the Word of God....Ezekiel 38:17-23; Joel 2: 30-32; and Rev. 6: 12-17. Go ahead and take the time to read these passages. I believe this vision from Efrain lines up with Rev. 6 (the 6th seal).
     Some do not believe that Rev. 6 is happening now, but they claim it's to happen after the Rapture - during the Great Tribulation.  I was taught the same viewpoint in the past, but over Summer, after hearing another Believer give another translation of Revelation, I meditated (read over and over again) the 6th chapter of Revelation and sought the Lord for clarification.   I also sought for understanding of  Ezekiel 38 .  I was crying out from within me for the Holy Spirit to give translation.
 
     God revealed to me that the timing of events in Revelation are very fast-paced.  Some events in Revelation may even occur simultaneously with other events, esp. those of the 6th seal!  You must look at the time frame between the 6th seal and the 7th seal.  Lots of events fit within this time frame because they all happen so closely together - maybe just days apart or just minutes apart!
     Late July or early August 2015, the Lord began to confirm in my heart that the martyrs in heaven were crying out to the Lord for Him to avenge their blood...that the 5th seal had been opened (Rev. 6:9-11)  Also, early August for at least two weeks straight, I would wake every morning burdened in my heart that the enemies of Israel were devising evil plans, and it wasn't until I prayed for God to thwart the plans, did I receive peace in my heart.

     Right away, after hearing Efrain, the Lord put everything together for me in my heart!   I believe right there, God confirmed this man's authenticity!   I know if we pray, God is willing to remove judgement from our Nation, however, if it is truly the 6th seal being opened, then it cannot be thwarted, but will happen as stated in the Word of God.

NOTE: That very same day (Sept. 3rd) The Jewish Voice Ministries sent out their email of how Russia is moving it's military into Syria...right at the very place of Damascus. Interesting turn of prophetic events...

May God lead and protect us as we move forward....

USED AGAIN FOR THE LORD - Tongues strengthens the inner man!

     Early one Monday morning January 2015, God awoke me from my sleep, and the Holy Spirit was active.   The Lord God Almighty had me in an inward focus (a trance) with my face down in bed as He spoke a prayer loud and direct that surrounded me, and if it had been audible for my husband to hear, he would have sat right up in bed and freaked out!  I believe God was bringing me alongside in agreement with Him.  He spoke very firmly and strong for a 'spirit' of something to come upon a specific pastor that God had called me just two days earlier (with my husband by my side) to bring a word of warning and exhortation to from the Lord.
     Right after the Lord God Almighty spoke that prayer with a voice of authority,  He knew I was upset about what had been prayed against this pastor.  So, the Holy Spirit gently and quietly (from within me) said, “chatanu” (cha-ta-nah)  and said, "Speak it." I spoke the word over and over again as I got up from bed.  As I was getting out of bed, the Holy Spirit impressed upon me that I was speaking in Hebrew.  He then put it on my heart to go get the translation off the computer.  As I went, God put Elohim upon my heart, so I began to say “Elohim chatanu” which means, “God we have sinned!”
     One interesting point is that as I went through the day, the Holy Spirit could work through me much more powerfully as I had been strengthened in the inner man through the gift of tongues.  Later that day, I ended up in line behind a young man (in his 20's) that was buying only alcohol.  The Spirit began to directly me in a way I had only been led once before, and I said while pointing to the alcohol, "If you had Jesus, you would not need this anymore!" 
    As the conversation went on between the young man and myself, the Holy Spirit of God spoke clear to me at one point that I share how to receive Jesus as his Savior.   Ultimately this young man shared with me that he was seeking for the Truth.  I believe today he is a Believer in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior!

    Friday came around (of that same week), and at my Bible Study as we worshiped, I began to pray with my mind and heart as usual for those He wanted me to lift up to Him. I watched and listened as many of the ladies spokr in tongues. God began to lead me to pray for warlocks and witches - that God would bind and weaken all their demons and deal with them as He saw fit.  I sought this for all warlocks and witches across the globe - that this would be the time that many of these people would come to Him.

     I noticed a young woman speak something in English that came in agreement with how I was praying.   I realized it, and asked her what she had said, but she could not remember...the unity of the Holy Spirit always amazes me!

    Just a few days later, as I was going through my email, I came across a specific email from the Jewish Voice Ministries. This email had been sent just a couple days before our Friday Bible Study, and they had requested Believers to pray for their move into Woliso, Ethiopia where witchcraft was very prevalent. They were asking for prayer coverage!  God obviously knew this was a need for that very day, so as the Spirit led, I prayed out with my mind, not with tongues.
   

    God kept me from experience tongues until He asked me to say, "Chatanu," because He wanted me to learn the truth of what Paul was trying to tell us in the Word of God.  I had to acknowledge that praying with our hearts/minds is more important than praying in tongues.  We should seek God first in our own tongue, and once that is exhausted, let the Spirit lead in tongues.
     Tongues should not be forced, but only used for personal edification to prepare you for facing a battle.  It is part of putting on the Full Armour of God!  God will bring it to your heart if He wants you to speak in tongues.   He knows more than we do when we need this spiritual edification!   But if you are not facing a battle ahead, you must pray with your mind and heart as the Holy Spirit leads!

HE IS COMING WHEN WE LEAST EXPECT IT!

                           *******************************************************

      Isn't it interesting that Believers often state that it must get REALLY bad before Jesus returns?  Is it possible that they are trying to know when His return is by what they see in society?  How bad does it really have to be before He returns?

      Did you know that Jesus said He is coming at a time when we will LEAST expect it?

   "For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.   Matt. 24:44

       Let's take a look at the facts.  Some Believers are getting word from the Lord that Christians are about to come into 7 years of abundance.  That God is going to turn things around for Believers for a period of  7 years.  What is the purpose for God to speak to these Believer's about 7 years of abundance?  Why 7 years? Why not 6 or 8? 
      Next let's look at those who believe we are as near as within a year or less of His return.  They note that the signs of His coming are exponentially increasing!   According to these Believers, we are in 'the season of His return'....and "Behold, He is at the door!"

   One thing I know about the Holy Spirit - He speaks in unity with all Believers.  We must then ask ourselves...who is right?  Is it possible that He truly is 'at the door' and that when Jesus takes the church home, we will be enjoying 7 years of abundance in Heaven VERY SOON???

                                ************************************************

   People also say that until the last person who is to be saved comes into the church body,  Jesus won't return, but the Word of God says...

    Rev. 6:9-11
⁹ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
¹¹ And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.



                         ********************************************************


   I believe we need to be careful to translate what God is saying to each Believer very carefully.  There is unity when the Spirit of God speaks to His children.   If there is no unity, then someone is wrongly deciphering the revelation that God is trying to bring to His body.
   Let us come together in unity to the Word of God seeking for the Holy Spirit to bring about understanding.  Only Jesus was said to not know of the time of His return, but the Word does not state that the Spirit of God does not know...

             ********************************************************************

WHEN HE DIRECTS, I WILL GO!

   Last year in 2013, God was teaching me many lessons.  One was how to listen to His leading, and not analyze the situation and turn from it.  During this twist of incidences that occurred both in March 2013 and 2014, I chose to go shopping for needed items.

    Back in 2013, the three places that I chose to go to were all located in Santee, CA.   The first was The Christian Bible Bookstore, then Costco and last of all Target.   Upon arrival at the Bible bookstore, I had a pick-up that should have only taken minutes, but I had to wait.  A lady I had never seen before was working off to the side, and so I tried to ask her to help me.  I felt that the worst thing would happen is that she'd say 'no.'
      However, without looking at me, she said, "He delays us for a reason."   I took this rather like an affront, and just waited silently, being a little disappointed.  She finally came to me, and then at some point while working with me, she said again, "He delays us for a reason."   She didn't say much of anything else.  I sensed the Holy Spirit working with me to accept this comment, so when I got my item, I left in a thoughtful state.   I figured that maybe God was up to something.
       My second destination was Costco.  I went around and shopped, but as I came forward to get in line, I felt the Holy Spirit lead me to pray, "What lane do You want me in?"  I began to run my eyes over the line of lanes, and felt the Holy Spirit prompt my heart to go to one lane.  I assessed the situation, and saw a young guy packing the carts.  For some reason, I felt nervous about going there because of him, so I attempted to pass the lane, but I felt the Holy Spirit pushing for me to obey Him.  The Holy Spirit was like,  "Go THERE!"  in my heart, so I did. 
       As I was waiting for my goods to be purchased and placed into the cart, I noticed the young guy packing the cart so perfectly!  I mean, he had it so neat that it looked like a large rectangular box inside my cart!  I'd never seen anyone do such an amazing job!  I thought of how hard these people pack our carts, and then we have to go to our car, and unpack to load it in the trunk.  This guy did such an amazing job, I had to comment on it...
        So out of my heart came a response - I asked if I could just take the whole cart as it was and stick it into the back of my car!  I said how nicely packed it was!   Trust me, the way I said it was so uplifting and encouraging!  It was a pure, unadulterated compliment that I gave to the young guy.  He just beamed without looking at me!
         My last stop was at Target.  I was walking up to the automatic doors, and noticed a young guy in front of  me.  I took note of his awesome 'not of this world' shirt! It had a neat design on the back with NOTW hidden in the design.  Then, I thought how unusual it was to see young guys going shopping by themselves to Target.  
       As he headed over to the carts, I heard the Holy Spirit say to me that he was going to hand me a cart, but I was so new at hearing His voice, it took a bit for it to sink in.   The guy, as he was pulling out a cart, started to turn towards me with it to hand it over, and that's when I realized he doing what the Holy Spirit had just told me he was going to do.   I was overjoyed with excitement, so I said, "The Holy Spirit told me you were going to hand me a cart!"
       I was backing up to make it easier for him to pass it to me, and at that moment, even though I was going slowly backwards, I ran into a woman's cart.  To this day, I find it strange for a woman with a cart full of goods to be going the direction this lady was going.  I was the one hurt, yet I said, "I'm sorry!"  She just grunted in an indifferent way.  I really wonder if Satan had something to do with it....
       The guy was shook up by what had happened, and I said a few awkward comments to try to smooth things over.   We both just parted ways, and went on to shop.  I noticed, every now and then, the guy shopping around me.  He seemed to be in my vicinity more than I would have expected.   I finally headed up, and when I got just about to a lane, I realized that he was heading up at the same time!
        I got in line.  He went over to a side lane to look for something.  I noticed a lane over from him was empty of people.  I felt prompted by the Holy Spirit to go, but right when I was about to go, he started over there.  So, I stopped, and didn't do it.  It freaked me out!  However,  I was the first to choose to go there....what was I worried about?
      

       Literally, about a year later, in March 2014, I went to those very same places again, but not to Target.  I felt led to turn off the music in my car.  I told the Holy Spirit that I wanted to hear His voice.   As I was driving to the Bible bookstore, I felt led to pray, "God feel free to delay me for a reason."  Then, I prayed that the Holy Spirit would direct me to someone who wanted to know the Truth.
       I went into the Bible bookstore to order multiple "Courageous" movies, so we could send them out as love packages to others.   They had NONE.   It was a bummer, but I told the Holy Spirit, "Well, you must want me at Costco right now!"
       I went into Costco and shopped.  As I was going up to the lanes, I felt prompted to pray, "Which lane do You want me in?"  I began to scan, and felt impressed to go to a certain lane.   However, in this lane, the scanner dude was SCARY looking!   And I mean SCARY!  Seriously...you'd almost want to say, "How did that guy get hired???!"  Who came up with this guy to scare me off?
     I didn't let it affect me!  Whoa!  I went right up to the lane.  I didn't even look at the guy any closer like you think I would have...did he really look the way I saw him or did God allow me to see him that way?   As I was starting to wait, I looked over to the lane next to me.   The conveyer belt was empty, and I could start laying my goods in it.  I told the Holy Spirit that I was staying right where He wanted me.  Then I felt Him prompt me to go to the other lane.  I thought "Why God?  It only has a woman running it!"  God is sooo funny how He teaches us!  It looked WAY too easy...
      I got in the other lane, and began laying my stuff down on the conveyer belt.   As I did, I noticed a bagging guy who had come up and he was talking to the man who was purchasing goods ahead of me.   The conversation was not a light one, but one that had a spiritual bent on it.   My ears perked up.  I sensed in my heart the Holy Spirit confirm to me that He had something for me to do.
      As the man buying goods talked on, I asked the Holy Spirit, "Is it him?"  Nothing came to my heart, but silence.   The man said to the bagging dude and lady, "I was in jail for 20 years!"   Both of the workers became stiff and nervous.  The buyer said, "Hey, we just have to be above board!"   Then, as the man was leaving, he said, "As long as we have Methamphetamines in this world, we will have people in jail!"
      At that point, the Holy Spirit began to put words in my heart, but they were directed at the bagging guy.  I said something about Jesus being the answer.  Suddenly, it was as if a flood in words came into my heart.   In response to the guy that just left, the Holy Spirit had me say, "As long as we have sin and evil in the world, we will have jails."  I stated that Biblical prophecy was starting to happen.... 
       It was wild!   The Holy Spirit wanted me to say a verse, "When we fail in one point, we are guilty of all,"  but I think I grappled with Him on the issue because I didn't think the guy would understand (never will I do that again!).   So, God had me mention how all religions are working to get to God, but there is only one that is a personal relationship.  That is with Jesus Christ.   It's hard to say exactly word for word what I said because the Holy Spirit led it.  All I know is that it was better said than any time I have ever shared the gospel with someone....
         The Holy Spirit had me warn about Mormonism, and how they say that the Bible is what they believe, yet they will not read it, and want nothing to do with it.  Then, I was led to say, "It's the Bible!  The Bible is the answer!"    Just after that, I shared this....

         All you have to do is believe what Jesus did on the cross for you.
         Then ask for forgiveness for your sins.
         Because of what Jesus did on the cross, the Holy Spirit can now come in and reside within your heart.
          Invite Him to come into your heart.

       Just after that, the guy said, "Thank you!  Thank you!"  He was really serious...and meant it!

  As I walked on, I said, "Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life."  Not sure who heard that...

    
My final perspective:

I realize that God wants me to know that He has those out there that He directly wants me to impact.   He wants me to realize that when I hear His prompting to go, I must not let any personal thoughts or insecurities interfere.   There are other things He was teaching me, but to this day, I am not 100% sure of what they are.  If you happen to see it, please let me know...
