Boomerang

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: (NIV Study Bible)

This story is on the changing of seasons in my life. First of all, one of the definitions of season as listed in the World Book Dictionary defines the word season as any period of time marked by something special or characteristic: the holiday season, the harvest season, a season of peace. Another defines it as Figurative, a period or time: at a certain season of our life..

The different seasons in my life have been determined by The Lord, I am led by His Spirit. I find myself in private conversation or thoughts with Him,I don't just know of Him, I have a PERSONAL relationship with Him. There are many stories and seasons in my life that testify to this truth grounded by God's word to confirm what I share is fact and true...

I am now a senior citizen who has gone through many seasons of change. There are alot of things I choose to remember and a lot that I had to discard and let go of. I have been very active in many Christian outreach ministries. The length of involvement varied with each one. One wasn't more important than the other..The Lord would lead me when to get involved, and He would instruct me WHEN the season was over..

Sometimes things from our past come back when we least expect it, like a BOOMERRANG...and resurface into our lives...One of the definitions is as follows: Boomerangs are made of a shape so that when PROPERLY thrown they RETURN to the thrower. This is also worded in the Bible as "We reap what we sow."

Many years ago, I had asked God to take away certain gifts UNTIL the time would come that ONLY He would get all of the Glory. There was a season of my life when the world classified me as having ESP (extra sensory preception) or clairvoyant (supposedly having the power of seeing or knowing about things that are out of sight;having second sight)as defined in The World Book Dictionary. These gifts began to draw too much attention to me...too much...and I didn't feel comfortable with the labels that were given me...I was serving The Lord..and somehow...this terminology didn't settle well with me. I was more in tune with SPIRITUAL visions and revelations from God to be share with others than what the world wanted to hear...I was a Jesus story telling lady...

Zechariah 4:6 Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord Alighty.
(NIV)

Last week, I was on my way to work and listening to my radio around 8:30 am...when THAT still small voice asked "Did you tell Linda that you were disabled?" I didn't remember telling her..then the Holy Spirit replied, "Boomerang, your'e back!" I would soon be seeing this person at a special gathering on Saturday. I knew then that The Lord was going to lead me to get involved with her efforts to support the disabled in any way that I could...She had another meeting that she wanted me to attend with my boss if possible...

My boss and I did attend that meeting out of respect for her. We were extremely late, but we were on time to meet some special people.

Visons, revelations and dreams have returned and I am here to make sure that ONLY God is given the credit...and the honor...

What the Lord was telling me was,that a NEW SEASON had just arrived and to be ready for the UNEXPECTED to happen...but this time....I AM READY.....I have been through many valley trips and now am ready for those Mountain Top experiences...all good.....Look out World, God will be leading the way...I will be just following in his protective shadow...Like a BOOMERANG, I have returned, even more bolder and stronger in my witness to the world...There is a God and His Son Jesus Christ still reigns from the Heavens on high...

The Blue Tear

Expect the unexpected is what I have LEARNED to expect as a lead intercessor of prayer at different outreach events. During this time it is vitally important to LISTEN for the prompting of the Holy Spirit to read a scripture, or just BE QUIET. At the blink of an eye, the spiritual realm BECOMES visually active for me. I start to sense, see manifestations, or even smell odd odors that others may not be aware of.

I then need to get myself ready, for a HAPPENING that surely was about to take place soon. I knew to get serious, pray, and read the bible...and find scripture that would REVEAL and EXPLAIN what I was experiencing BEFORE I would share with the other intercessors. That is just the way the Lord GUIDES me.

Zechariah 4:6 (NIV) Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,says the Lord Almighty.

We were up in the balcony prayer room interceding for the workers sitting at tables below. A large group of people, myself included were there to be in constant prayer covering for the Hell House Halloween alternative presentation taking place below. People by the hundreds were being taken through reality scenes of life.Everyone was moved through various scenes that depicted an abortion scene, car crash, family abuse room, a party scene, and even school shootings. By the time one had gone through the last scene to see a tortured and bleeding Christ on the cross, many were uncontrollably sobbing. This is when you were given a choice to exit through the Heaven Door or the Hell Exit...The Heaven door brought you to a table of willing people to console you or answer any questions you may have. Through the Hell Exit, you just found yourself OUTSIDE and alone...a strange feeling...I had taken the tour, so this is what I know..

This was the first time that this outreach would take place at my home church..I had participated in it at many other locations prior to this night. I already knew some of the intercessors whom I had bonded with on many other occasions over the years. We knew the gift or gifts operating in each of us. At times we would call out one particular person to pray...because of that special gift of The Holy Spirit. Not all intercessors have the same gifts..to interpret, the speaking in tongues, dishearnment, the visual eyes to see, and the spiritual ears to hear...but all work together for the same purpose...to help free people from bondage..and give them hope.

The music ANNOUNCING the start of the event was playing...We all made ourselves comfortable. I got out my bible, notebook and sat on the floor. There was soothing praise music playing low that could be heard, but not overpowering. Some intercessors would sit on the floor and just pray face down. Others could be seen pacing back and forth silently, while others were verbablly praying. I was intent on just BEING ready for whatever did take place...

Weary actors and actresses would come up for prayer for strength to keep on participating. Others were brought in for prayer to be comforted. Some were brought in to be delivered from evil spirits that seemed to have control over their bodies,(deliverance). Sometimes people just wanted more of God to come into their lives. What ever the request was, we all tried to meet that need in personal prayer time with them.

We were now into several hours of prayer time when...I saw a vision of a HUGE BLUE TEAR Drop that seem to fall from the sky. I looked around and soon KNEW that I was the only one seeing this. I got my bible and begin to seek out the answer..The Holy Spirit placed into my thoughts... the word BREAK THROUGH...


Psalm 28:6 (NIV) Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy.

I then was instructed to leave the intercessory room and go sit in the top balcony and look down at the intercessors sitting at their tables below waiting for people to sit with them. It was then that I SMELLED this strong FOUL odor. I asked, "Lord, what is that smell? He replied, GENERATIONAL CURSES." I then remembered the bible study that a close friend and I had done on fragrances that exposed certain spirits, good or bad...That will be another story for later...

The Lord then instructed me to go back into the intercessory prayer room and share this revelation with the others...I did so. I was to tell them that there was an invisable wall up BETWEEN the downstair intercessors that was keeping them from reaching the hurting people who would sit at their table...It was if their words and efforts were bouncing back and not GETTING through to the person sitting directly in front of them. We needed to pray for BREAKTHROUGH.. I then shared the Blue Tear Drop vision with them...

Shortly after my sharing this info, the downstair intercessors came up and asked for prayer describing what was happening to them...just as I had said. We prayed...and later...a praise report was brought to us...There had been a total BREAKTHROUGH and people were getting saved and now coming up to us for prayer...God is always ready to reveal himself to us. If we ask for his help, He will show up...

A recent revelation to this story...was The cry for Mercy was our cry...but the blue tear drop was God's mercy drop for our situation...He's a big God...and that surely was a big tear...
