YOU’RE IN THE BOOK OF LIFE
He checked my family members individually and said, “I read all of you in the Book Of Life. I thought. Oh my God, I’ve never heard these things in my life. “I will see all of you in heaven.” In the meantime, I was overwhelmed and confused. It was an alarming situation that I thought I almost passed out or fell to the ground. I just learned later that it’s called “prophecy.”I stepped into the new season, and God pushed me into my destiny even though I was uncomfortable and scared if I said no way! But I couldn’t; there is something that’s always tugged into my heart. I know Him later on. It has to be God’s doing this. It would have stunted my growth if I had ignored it or couldn’t save my family with issues that only God could do. However, I wouldn’t be who I am today writing to you in this book. No testimony or I couldn’t produce a message. I am very grateful you gave me the “messenger” from Heaven sending the message to me. He explained that he was Elijah, born in Jerusalem, Israel. What? If you were in my place, I wonder what you would do!
I was stepping into a new season of my level of life. I was being pushed into my purpose. God knows I won’t move forward without a push. Moreover, I would not stamp my feet to tell my husband to move out and sell the house we thought we would retire in for it’s an idyllic place (2.5) acreage with a beautiful garden full of fauna and flora. It was a wonderful place, a simple but livable big house. A beautiful orchard and flower garden with the backdrop or background of mountain views surrounds it. As I thought, this is our paradise. We’ll live here until our retirement, although we have retired already. I lived there for over twenty years and loved it until it was my God’s call. I become restless for some reason.
If everything were going well, I wouldn’t pray the way I prayed so intensely, and I couldn’t recognize myself. What happens to me? I become like a monk or nun. I found that stepping out into the unknown world can be scary. What if something happens or if it doesn’t work out? Then what! I may not like it, but if God had shut that door, I would have been satisfied to stay where I was sewing for other people, doing household chores, and working on the ample land and house with all the maintenance. God loves me so much not to let me miss out on destiny. I believe I have too much potential or am pregnant with possibility, talent, ability, and too much in me to get stuck where I was. He put me in situations that make me stretch, expand, spread out, flourish, grow, and spread my wings.
After a few days, I phoned him again and asked for advice. How in the world does he know about my family? I must know and follow up. So I did! All I knew was that the first step, “Go help your family members, and God assigned you to do it for prosperity.” I know I am in God’s will; I didn’t know all the details about how it will work out or how to start. There’s going to be a not-knowing factor. Suppose I could help my family and going to reach my highest potential. In that case, I have to have the boldness and courage to step into the unknown and uncertainty.
But along the way, if I don’t let what-ifs keep me in the boat. I have to make that choice to step up or play it safe. That was one of those now or never moments. Through the darkness, I would see miracles. I may not have all the details and not know the result immediately. I believe I was about to step out of the sphere of influence, unmerited favor, and reach a new level of the fullness of my destiny.
