TESTIMONY TEA TIME

So today while doing bible study on TikTok live I was reading the book of Judges and I came to a verse that reminded me of an interaction I had with God the night before, and reading this scripture was a confirmation that I INFACT HAD HEARD THE LORD and I am so grateful for my willingness to get into his word I realize why it is called the LIVING word haha, so the verse I read that triggered this realization was Judges 6:16-18 which states “ The lord answered I will be with you and you will strike down all the Midianites together. Gideon replied if now I have found favor in your eyes, give me a sign it is really you talking to me, please do not go away until I come back and bring my offering and set it before you , the Lord said I will wait until you return.”

Ok so God chose Gideon to save Israel and he was uncertain and asking for signs right if you feel led to read that I would check it out Gideon starts at Judges 6. So when he said to the lord, please do not go away and give me a sign it is really you talking to me this spoke to me and I realized God answered me through this passage, I had said a few times before I trust you have been leading me but sometimes I wonder if I am talking to you and Im sorry for not knowing, but I want to know. The night before I read this passage I was about to do my hair ( ive been struggling to do all my hygiene and get myself more presentable) and I want to show up how God wants me to show up, so I was wrapping my hair to be curly in the morning as an act of obedience and gratitude to put in more effort right for God and myself, like I am representing God. so I had planned to get on my knees and talk to God AFTER but Gods had a different plan lol , basically as I started wrapping my hair I heard God so clearly and he was talking ALOT to me I was basically just crying the whole time and thanking him LOL and I remember wanting him to wait to tell me and I said hang on I am finishing my hair then I am gonna sit down and like focus fully and he said to me “ I will not leave you” and I had to submit to listen while I was doing my hair so I felt not ready right but his words flowed over me regardless, I cant remember each word exactly ( im not sure why but this happens often, I feel I need to immediately write them down but then I feel like I am not fully in the moment bc im focusing on writing) Anyways he was basically telling me I am his daughter and he will provide and told me to make a self care amazon wish list that was ONLY for me not for the house or baby, to separate the lists and he said put whatever I want on it He will buy it for me. I was just in such gratitude because I dont and have never had a father who actually ever said that or supported me in this way. It was so reassuring and he knew i would read that passage on tiktok for bible study the next morning so when I read that passage I knew it was the lord like Gideon felt the same urgency concern of “do not go away yet” lol I am grateful for that interaction especially because we sign for the house today and It has been heavy on me the spiritual warfare in my mind right of like yea you cant keep up a whole house on your own, you will end up homeless again, you wont be able to furnish it etc.. and THE DEVIL IS A LIAR, I can and will break my blood line free of poverty and Christ is with me to help me keep this house over our heads. So God is so good and reading the bible has genuinely been changing my life, commit to being some kind of consistent and watch God align things in your life with confirmations too. We all have access to seek him more and he will come closer. AMEN
