ok thursday was a cold rainy day and i work mostly outside, well go in go out over and over. somewhere around 9 the rain started coming down steady so i got my jacket then i quit so i put my jacket up and then it started again and on that went most of the morning. i started getting frustrated and cold and the still small voice said why wont you just pray it will stop. and i thought well first of all thats not my place, i mean if i tell the rain when to start and stop seasons would get screwed up i mean i dont know enough to be the guy to do that. and plus i dont want the discouragement of it not stopping when i saw stop n the name of Jesus. watch Lord, and then i raised my hand and head and looked up to the clouds out in my customers parking lot and i said "stop raining..............in the name of Jesus" (lol i forgot that part for like 10 seconds). and i contintued to rain and i started back into my thought conversation saying see what i mean. when i ask for a miracle it doesnt come so why would i keep asking? and God showed me a picture. a perspective i would have never imagined.
when i spoke the rain stopped. but it stopped from the cloud. so all that rain still in the air was still falling. and it was almost like i went and met the last drop over me real fast and followed it back down. and then it stopped where i was after what was in the air had finished falling.
the whole rest of the day it rained while i was inside the customers or inside the truck but i didnt get rained on or wet or have to put my jacket back on. it was really cool!! and seeing the rain at the point where it stopped and wat was in the air was still falling was really cool too.
i still dont understand the difference between when i ask and receive and when i ask and dont receive though. but i could really grasp the reasons behind why God does things the way He does i think id be much more bold in what i ask for. you know an athiest once asked me why i cant tell my phone it pick up off the desk and spin around in the name of Jesus since Jesus himself said nothing will be impossible and if you ask in my name it will be granted. and honestly i have been trying to find the answer to that question over a year now and i still dont really know. i dont understand why sometimes one thing happens and sometimes another. i have enough faith and have seen enough that it doesnt shake me not to be able to answer, but it does make me want to search all the more. i told the guy i was going to figure it out and of course now i dont even know how to get aholt of him but im still going figure out and understand some day how to explain that in a way that doesnt require someone to already have faith in God to understand the answer.
Praise God and praise Jesus all glory and power and honor to you Lord may you make it clear and plain. unite the elect and divide with the sword of your Word, the truth. and even its not til we come to your kingdom i know we will see how it works one day:)
