The overall fruit of the conference is affirmation and a deeper confidence in using my gifts, and now I am boldly stepping out in faith acting on prompts from the Holy Spirit. I have also seen an increase in anointing of my gift for prayer ministry, and I’m getting words and images for people as I’m praying with them. At a recent church mission, I prayed with a young girl who was suicidal. We prayed for God’s love to overpower her so she could feel like the beautiful daughter He created her to be, and I had a vision while praying for her of Jesus telling her to reach for Him and He will heal her. During the Eucharistic procession later, I felt prompted to go to the back of the room and asked the Lord, “Why do you want me back here?” I opened my eyes, and the same young girl from earlier was next to me. I prayed for healing for her, and as the Blessed Sacrament came closer, I told her to reach for Him. As I was praying, she clutched the bottom of the monstrance, and it felt like a shell cracked under my fingertips and fell away from her. I had an immediate deep sense of joy and felt that she was healed of her suicidal thoughts. On my way home from the mission, I got a text from her proclaiming she was healed! Praise God! I still am shocked I followed the prompt from the Holy Spirit to give her my contact information – I have NEVER done that! But I was prompted and was obedient, and I got confirmation that the Father’s joy I felt deep inside was true. I LOVE YOU, JESUS! I know He sent me back there so she would see me and find me. God is so good!!! There is more! Always more!
I’m affirmed in my role of building up His Kingdom.
