It happens too often to document them all, but here are a few of the more recent ones that stand out the most…..

By ‘ones’, I mean the times I have had a thought pass through my head that I can tell is the Holy Spirit of God giving me knowledge and/or instruction. And no I don’t know how I can tell when that’s where it’s coming from, but it’s somehow supernaturally plainly obvious when that’s what’s up. It isn’t something explainable.

In one situation I was at work and something hadn’t come out as it should have. There was no fixing it without it leaving a mark that would make it, at the very least, look like shit.

And then this is where that famous (and annoying, and cheesy af) t-shirt saying ‘But God’ comes to life…..

So I waited until everything else was done, and that was the very last thing, was to decide the fate of that part. And, I ‘just felt like’ it was the right thing to do, to put it back in the machine and re-run it. No changing anything. And what do you know, when it came out it was a little better, and nothing at all wrong with it as far as looks go. So I decided to change some numbers very slightly and give it another go. By all counts, normally this number that I changed wouldn’t help it at all. It wasn’t the one connected to the ‘unfixable’ problem. But once again, I ‘just felt like’ it was all that could be done, and that somehow it would help that normally-unfixable measurement fall into place. As it was it wasn’t going to be used anyway, so it sure couldn’t hurt anything. So, I did the small offset and let it go. It came out almost acceptable, so one more time I did that. I went to put in the same number I had just used, but ‘just felt like’ slightly less would be better. So I did that, and again let it go. And…..it came out acceptable, with no nasty steps in the metal! That was, of course, impossible. If I were to do it again without God’s direction, it wouldn’t come out as passable. For sure, that was God using my fingers to push those buttons.

The feeling when it came out ok is indescribable, and I highly suggest you up your prayer life significantly if you yourself don’t experience things like this regularly.

Almost a year ago now, I was listening to this person and that person and the other person beating down on the other person. I began to feel pretty bad for the other person, and decided to speak with them and find out what was what. I told one of the people berating this other person, “ok I’ll keep that in mind, and hey if you see me taking to that person often it’s just me trying to save them”. And immediately the thought that is the voice of the Holy Spirit said just one word to me pertaining to this guy: sorcery. In my head I was like, great. Now I have to figure out if he has sorcery being done to him or if he’s the one into it…..by all means, being unkempt and depressed can always be either or…..

Over the four months that I had contact with this person, they tried to tell me they were Christian, but a few things just didn’t add up. And then there were the things they would tell me about their self but never tell the full story. I’m talking about spiritual stuff that all pointed toward the dark side. And somehow conclusions and full explanations always got left out. Luckily though I can read between the lines and I realized that this person is indeed involved, possibly quite heavily, in the dark side. The people pointing the fingers don’t know anything about spiritual things so all they see is a loner who doesn’t look in the mirror before leaving the house and has a bad attitude and talks about weird fantasy crap (that isn’t actually fantasy at all!).

Clearly that one word spoken to me was two things: one, a warning. And two, a word of knowledge so I would know how to pray for the person. Which I do. Regularly.

This third thing happened just yesterday. At work again and an issue arose with the machine. It was throwing an alarm and for the life of me I couldn’t remember how to clear it. I did remember seeing it on a similar machine but it was almost a year ago and I sure didn’t remember what was done to get rid of it. So I shut it off hoping it would forget the alarm when I restarted it and went for a coffee. And what do you know, as I was walking out to the coffee I got a word…..

When I went back and restarted it I did just as I was told, and it worked splendidly. How people can live without a direct connection to the supernatural mystifies me…..
