No Meat Just Broth..

OK You guys aren't going to believe this. Im going into my 4rth day of fasting. It has been hard. My husband will testify to just how hard it has been for me. lol I love you honey...:) Cant wait to cook for you next week...
I went to the store on my lunch because I started to get a headache and not feel so good. I went to the soup isle and looked at all the soups and the Lord impressed me not to get the chicken noodle I wanted but to have broth with some veggies in it. My word I never noticed there were so many different soups. I was just drawn to all the ones with meat. I really am hungry. I kept looking and this guy that works there, comes around the corner and says, "HI!" He says, "I just wanted to say hi to you." Im like ooookkkk.. He then stands there as I keep looking. He then says, "Are you a christian?" I say, "Yes. Why do you ask?" He says well are you apostolic or pentecostal? I said "Yes Im pentecostal." He said "I knew it!" You have a glow on your face and I just knew with the way you were dressed and your face I can just see it!" I told him well its not me its the Lord Ive been fasting for a few days and thats Jesus you see. I asked him "Do you go to church?" He said no, but he was raised apostolic in salinas. I asked him when the last time was that he went to church and he said, it had been a year. I told him Adam was his name. You need to come and visit us in Hollister. There is nothing like Jesus. I went on to tell him it was meant for our paths to cross and he promised he would come and visit. He stood with tears filling his eyes as I handed him a card and told him God cares about his soul. I shared some of my testimony briefly with him and got my "BROTH" with no MEAT only veggies and left. As I drove away I started to speak in tongues and cry and God spoke to me and said "My children are lost!" No one is looking for them. I love their souls. I want them to come home. Dont forget my children" I just cried because I remember leaving church and never being able to get away from God. He would just chase me it seemed. I should not be here today, but God didnt forget about my soul. Someone prayed or a lot of people prayed I dont know. But I remember running into Juan Campos in a burger place when I was backslid and he just started prophesying to me. Everywhere I went God would show up. I thought about that on my drive back to work. How much our souls meant to God. I thought about how God persued me. I feel so blessed to have escaped death and have another chance to serve God. I have felt so much regret over the time I wasted away from the Lord. Like I told Adam nothing will ever satisfy your soul like Jesus. I know we have a world to win but I never want to forget those who have gone astray because I am living proof there is HOPE for anyone! Dont give up on God's Children. He hasnt...Please pray for Adam..

A Soul to Remember....

Our focus has been souls. Fasting and prayer for souls. Soul winner's boot camp!! Sunday one of my best friends came down and she decided to go with me to prayer that evening. I wish I could explain in words what these prayer meetings have done for me and how much they have enriched my soul. It is just beyond beautiful to be with Jesus. We were all talking afterwards and we talked about being in Love with the Lord. There is such a huge difference in loving someone and being totally in love with someone. The kind of love that just takes your breath away. I didn't want to leave. I told my friend sometimes I wish I didn't have the responsibilities and I could just stay for hours with Jesus like I used to. Don't take it the wrong way. I love my family, but I have to admit I wish I had more time to share in the presence of the Lord in that secret place. When you spend any amount of time there, its hard to step back into the reality of the flesh. I understand now what they were talking about when they say, to be lost in His presence. I could just go on and on about my precious Lord, but I want to share what the Lord gave to me Sunday. He always sends us off with gifts. I love Him sooooooooo much....
As I prayed the Lord brought back to my remembrance a story I heard from a woman preacher. (I will really have to condense this.) She and her husband were missionaries somewhere in Africa and they lived in a village where leprosy was an epidemic. The smell was awful she said. She told about how she would go to the church and the man from the village would greet her at the doors by nodding his head. He never reached out to shake her hand because he had no hands. Plus she said she wouldn't touch them because leprosy was contagious. She went home one evening and she saw a woman with leprosy standing in her kitchen doing the dishes and she quickly rushed to her husband and said, "She cant stay here!" She has leprosy, we have children!" She said she was so upset with her husband.
Her husband turned around and looked at her and said,"This woman was beaten within inches of her life for coming to church. She has no where to go and they will kill her." He continued to say, "If you want her to go back, then here are the keys to my truck, you take her and can you do me a favor?" He said, "Can you stop by Calvary on your way home?" He walked away.. She said she went to the church to pray and passed the man who nodded to her. She went to lay out her shawl she always brought with her careful not to touch the ground. The Lord spoke to her and said, "Remove the shawl!" She said, "but Lord the floor is dirty and full of skin bacteria!" The Lord said it again louder.. She finally agreed to remove the shawl and laid her face on the dirty ground and prayed through and wept like she never had before. She said when she came out she asked the man for his hand. He looked perplexed and shook his head. She told him,"from now on I want you to give me your arm when I walk past you. I am not afraid to shake your hand anymore. She said Jesus gave her a fresh glimpse at Calvary. She said she cried so much but learned a painful lesson in looking past the fault and seeing the need. God will protect us when we are doing His work. God started to speak to me under the spirit of intersession and told me, "It is the soul that I see" I don't look at the sin and all the stuff you and others see. I see the soul!!! Look through my eyes!! See the soul. This revival you have planed is a good thing the Lord said, but don't forget the souls that sit among you who are hanging in the balance. He kept bringing two young ladies to my mind over and over as I prayed for them and travailed for their souls. God told me how much he loved them and He sees their souls and they matter so much. He impressed me we can win all of Hollister but, He didn't want me to forget them. I felt like God was saying, "Don't forget to take care of your own first." Love the souls I have given you first. Reach for them with all you have first!!" Then go out into the city with those you didn't forget and together we will win the city." No one person is insignificant to God. I don't know these women. But I now know just how special they are to God. I will try to reach out to them. It was remembrance for me of the parable of the lost sheep. We are all here yet God is searching for the soul that has gone astray. God is in this whole revival we have planned. I just want to make sure we don't forget to take everyone with us. God doesn't just want some of us. He wants all of us. I know sometimes we see certain people just sitting there, BUT, they are there!!!!!! Don't look past them and decide their destiny. Get a fresh glimpse of Calvary and see their soul because that is what matters to God. Jesus help me to see the soul....
