Today is the Anniversary of my "slaying" at the Joyce Meyer Conference.
On this day in 2012 I was touched by the Holy Spirit. My life has never been the same. At the conference God downloaded to me an assignment. It was confirmed through several women, strangers that I did not know who repeated to me what the Lord spoke.
"get rid of your house" "enjoy the journey" "feed the hungry"
I write all about it in Chapter 13 - Trust Yourself in my memoir, "Do you think this is all there really is?"
The experience was incredible. I literally felt as though I gave birth to myself. The array of feelings that came over me was intense.
I had always wondered if it REALLY happened?! I know that it did, but the experience was surreal it was hard to comprehend. Not to mention I had a plethra of thoughts running through my mind. Did it really happen? What just happened? What does this mean? Has this ever happened to anyone else? I spent weeks after the conference scouring the internet for someone's story similar to my own.
As years went on, I was amazed by this experience and chose to accept that indeed it did happen and the "lord filled" me up with the gift of the Holy Spirit. I have been obedient to it's leading and calling since.
In 2021, I launched my book and life happened. Everything in my world started to fall apart. It was difficult for me to muster up the energy to promote the book, plus I was struggling with my intuition. Which my entire book is about.
The battle I was facing was in my mind. I was having a hard time deciding to follow my inner voice or to believe the lies that were being spoken at the time. I did not know they were lies, yet; however, I did KNOW because my intuition told me so. Over the years God started to bring the darkness to light. Helping me to restore my trust in myself and my intuition.
Through this process I asked the Lord to send confirmation of this Life Changing Event. I wanted to be reunited with the woman who layed her hand on my shoulder that started the slaying. I KNEW it was a tall order. There were over 24,000 women in attendance. HOW? in the world would that happen. All I could remember was her name first name.
I had just started being obedient to the "call" that God put on my heart to "remember" all the times I thought I was alone and realize it was He who was with me. I was sharing videos on my linked in and other social media handles sharing all about how God brought me all the people and the opportunities to grow yumbitz. Sharing all my struggles and victories.
Many people were encouraged by my posts. Below you will see one in particular.
How timely too. This message came on the day that I slain a demon. That's an incredible story in itself. I will share another time. Back to this story...
Plus, I had just used this song to slay a demon, so I had to share it!!! What a powerful song!
As you can see from the message below I asked her to "pray for my family" and of all the songs she chose to send, she chooses, "Though you slay me"?! That was divine.
It was on my heart for some time to ask her... to ask if it was HER?! As you can see our last communication was on January 24th and on February 19 I finally mustered up the courage to ask.
I was so overjoyed!!! I couldn't believe it!!!! It WAS Emilie from the conference. The woman who layed her hand on my shoulder. The woman I asked God to reunite with and He made it happen!!!
We even met up a few weeks later. She was intown visiting a friend and we had lunch together.
GOD IS SO GOOD!!!! #pinchmemoment
Ask and you shall receive. seek and you will find. knock and the door WILL BE OPENED!
Trust and See! There is NOTHING my God can't do.
