April 2005- Jump

April 5, 2005
Several weeks ago I went to a soaking prayer time at All Saints Episcopal Church. We just sat or lay on pillows and soaked in the Presence of God. It was uncomfortable- I like to talk “let my requests be made known” 

But of all the works God did in my heart that day, the one that relates to this story is this vision.

I was walking up the winding stairs in a European church or tower. The stairs with the little windows to gaze out and judge your progress.  I could clearly see getting higher and higher.

Suddenly I got to an open window- really open, floor to ceiling with no bars. I actually had the sensation of height with the drop in my stomach and burning pain in my feet (my weird reaction to heights). And immediately, the Lord said, “;Jump”;.

Without much hesitation and with a strange anticipation, I jumped.  I soared above a city and I don't have many details except for the amazing experience of choosing to obey without question and jump into the unknown and into His ready arms. 

I am not that mystical and I don't intend to try God's hand with real windows but that sense of complete trust and confidence has SO buoyed my spirits this week. We trust God.  I know there are dozens of scripture to support my testimony but it has been a very long day of meetings and discussions. I will close tonight and continue to expect God to meet us and give us the Living Word for each new day. I will close with the Scripture He gave on each day so far because I have those in my journal.
 
God can minister to each of you in the way you need as you read them and meditate on them for yourself and for us. 
Thank you for your love and prayers. Kathy
