Episode 3 My testimony
As I mentioned, my new friend and I were in the Word 16-17 hours a day. We could not get enough, it was like God had opened the eyes of a blind woman and everything was new, I had revelation after revelation....and I was seeking the baptism of the Holy Ghost.
God had been performing financial miracles left, right and center. Our family income went from $772/per month to over $3000 a month for about 4 months. Jobs came in for my husband, I was working part time as the children were in kindergarten.
On a Sunday in December that year, I woke up and got the children ready to go on the Sunday School bus. I told my husband, I don't know what is happening but I really feel I am to stay home and just pray. I didn't know for what! He went on the bus with the kids.
I was in a constant state of weeping. Not sobbing, not sorrowful....but my eyes wouldn't stop leaking tears!
I went to the kitchen and ran the water to start washing dishes. I had the gospel music playing, there was a song that just started really resonating, it was "I Am Going To that City" and the other phrase from that song "where the roses never fade". Old Jimmy Swaggart song.
All of a sudden I began to sob, and weep and my heart was breaking, and on the wall of the kitchen, a vision opened....and it was as though I was part of the scene yet I was watching the scene unfold....I was dressed in the robes of a woman in the time of Jesus, I felt I was Mary Magdalene ....and I was standing at the foot of the cross...I could hear myself repenting of sins as far back as my childhood....I wanted so badly to look up into the face of Jesus, but I felt if I did, my world would blow apart...as I kept my head bowed and sobbed in repentance, a single drop of blood fell onto my hand...and I was set free.
As the scene faded fro the wall, I was trying to absorb what had just happened, I felt so light inside...and I realized that for the first time in my life, I was CLEAN!
My husband arrived home and I was very quiet, still absorbing, and he said "You are not going to believe what happened today!" And he handed me a card. (Being the first month we had started tithing, our world was just starting to step into the miraculous realms). It was just before Christmas and we had paid out the tithes, but had no money for food, or gifts for the kids.
Well, inside that card was $350 in brand spanking new bills! The card was signed "A Family in Christ". 2 days later a knock on our doos, and someone had anonymously put our name in for a Christmas box. Let's just say there was so much food our cupboards groaned. There was a turkey and a ham, and the freezer began to fill. By the next weekend, 2 more places showed up with our name in anonymously! More food and more gifts. We were in need of a washer and dryer, they showed up. We needed a couch, someone arrived with a sectional! Table and chairs, no problem...
I had been able to acquire ONE cabbage patch Kid for one daughter but not for the other. My mother didn't know that, and a package arrived from her from the East Coast and you got it! There was the 2nd Cabbage Patch Kid! (That was the year they were all the rage and no one could hardly get one!)
God literally had opened the windows of heaven (Malachi) and poured out such a blessing we couldn't contain it. Every bill was paid, our tummies were full, the children had the best Christmas ever, and we literally were giving turkeys and hams away to others, (we ended up with 6 of each)
Going back to my vision and experience with the Lord....I didn't really know what had happened. I do know that I walked on air for about 10 days, and saw beauty in the filthiest streets of the city...You see I had been taught in a Pentecostal denomination that I had to speak in tongues in order to receive His precious Spirit. I called my Mom back east and told her "Mom, I think I have the Holy Ghost", and she laughed, she said "Honey I knew you did, but you had to come to the realization yourself, not someone telling you that you did or didn't according to their experience. "
6 weeks later as I was sitting in my living room praying the scriptures, I lifted my hands to praise Him in the midnight hours...and tongues rolled out in a beautiful prayer language!
