ok,minor rant I hope no one minds mode....When I'd been a believer for about 5 minutes I had a night when my sleep departed from me in a big way.I'd read the book of Rev about 5 times all the way through and knew bits and pieces of the gospels.That was about it.Clueless and slightly skewed some might say but meh! whatever it takes.Anyway I had sinned pretty stupidly through the day and it came back to bite me hard.At 3 in the morning I lay there staring at the ceiling feeling like I was slowly going crazy with torment.Fear God? I was scared to death! I wondered what on earth sort of torment I had bought into with all this Jesus stuff.
Amongst what had become chaotic thoughts I start to see in my mind a word that looks like Matthew and Mark printed over the top of each other.Over the top of my panic I hear "Quiet" and then the jumbled word becomes Malachi 3.Which book,before God,I lie not,I'd never heard of.I get up grab my Bible,find the book,start reading chapter 3 and start thinking what's this got to do with right now? I keep going and get to verse 16 and the thought comes loud,'read it again'.So I do,'read every word',so I did and then basically I fell apart at the seams.
Sort of difficult to relate but that was something between me and 'all that Jesus stuff' I had invited into my life,even then not really having much of a grasp of what I was doing.It was a dark night and He got me.
So there you go.God is good.
Praise God!!!
What a great testimony.
Praise God for how He works in our lives.
Love it! Thanks for sharing. He deals differently with all us - that demonstrates how GOD is a PERSONAL GOD.
