Yesterday I was reading a prophetic word by a man named Doug Addison and the Lord really spoke to me through this word about our 6 years of hell in Arizona.

You see I’ve always dismissed that time as needless suffering, and figured we deserved it because for the most part it was self-imposed.  We chose to move there.  Bad choices were made while we were there, it was just a colossal screw up really in the end.  There’s no way that the Lord could have been doing anything.  Granted there were hopeful moments like when we finally found a church after 2 years of wandering, but even that rug got pulled out from underneath us eventually.

I was wrong.

While I was reading this yesterday the Lord whispered to me, “Just because you think that Arizona was self imposed, doesn’t mean that I wasn’t working.  In spite of choices that you make, I can still work through them and in them and around them if necessary.”

Wow.  What a revelation.

Here’s what Doug had to say in the article that really ministered to me:

 

This is what I believe God is saying, “Just as suddenly as things changed and were cut off in 2005, I am now renewing and reviving situations—suddenly! I am parting the Red Sea once again and making the impossible possible. Watch Me, and give Me glory as your life and ministry are restored and renewed in this very hour.”

Prayer: “God, awaken us to what You are doing in our lives right now. Give us eyes to see and ears that can hear what You are doing. Amen.”

So is there and area in your life that you’ve dismissed as time wasted and thought there was no way God could have possibly been doing anything??

Don’t be to surprised if the Lord shows you someday what was really going on behind the scenes.  He is always, ALWAYS doing something!!!!
