I was frustrated last night as everyone in the house was sleeping early and no one was keeping me up for the first time in months and yet I could not sleep…
Praying, I let GOD know how off this was due to my need to heal and mend from having the flu over Christmas and this was my first chance to recover.
Out of nowhere, I did not hear a resounding voice over everything, I did not see a vision or have a dream, no thunder and lightning, no burning bush, I simply sensed an urge…
This burning in my gut is something I have learned is not simply a rush of emotion, a hormone, a chemical in my brain. It’s burn and origin of the burn is not of this world. I knew, Jesus’ Spirit was up to something and from the center of my being, I was captivated.
In a matter of 2 and a half hours, I had completed the framework and half of the work of my newest book. With both of the books I have written in 2014 and this book now that will be done in 2015, I give GOD credit. I am really not a writer even though my natural gift is story telling. However, when the Holy Spirit directs, I cannot help but do whatever HE is bidding.
If you are out there and there is something you have always wanted to do like writing a book, starting a business, doing some kind of ministry, don’t just go out and learn how to do it from courses and classes. Begin a conversation with Holy Spirit who lives inside you if you have Jesus as LORD. And listen. He may start the conversation with a deep drive to repent of something or go back and start by doing something he told you to do before that you did not do. Then do it, start there. Repent and run back to HIM. Start by inviting HIM to mess up your plans and keep you up at night. Then when the urge hits, run with it. HE still burns in my guts this morning. It’s the best thing in the world to be intimately aware of GOD’s nearness.
Just do it!
