GOD SPOKE

Genesis 1 & 2 Then God said...

There are many encounters in the Bible of God speaking, he spoke through prophets, he spoke in a still small voice, he spoke in a powerful voice and yet again there is another time he spoke in a mighty voice. Believe it or not God still speaks today!

Before I moved to Canada and developed a relationship with God I remember I had this strong urge to begin a Youtube channel I asked my daughter to help me with setting up this channel. Chal lemme tell you I was not tech savvy I didn't have a clue of what to do, I actually didn't even know what my topics would be about. I was beginning my natural hair journey at the time and was certain that would be the premise of the vlogs. I did one or two videos with poor lighting and no real direction. That was short lived and quickly forgotten, about 2 years later I got the same urgency again at this point I had a better relationship with God we would chat often I would compliment him on his attributes, seranade him (I have a aweful voice but he loves it), we would have alot of sweet talk/correction/direction this developed over time. I perceieved what he wanted (knowing), for me to share my testimonies; he speaks in so many different ways through many people and unexpected times.

God wanted to out me! For so long I never discussed my life obstacles I had to be strong, I wasn't going to whine about it. Moses said God I stutter I am unable to speak, why not use someone else cause I ain't sure if I will be able to do this (parphrasing), he came up with so many excuses just as I did. For a few weeks I sat on this, the Holy Spirit led me to a few other vloggers and I started kinda looking at speech, personality, outfits, makeup, lighting. One day I rememeber knowing or feeling a strong insistence to obey and start the vlogs. OMG! I was so afraid what to say, what to wear etc but I did it, it was not easy and still isn't a few years and couple months later but I have the belief that if my testimony, my book, my post, blog or vlog is helping one person or saving one person I give all the Glory to the Lord. Over months of reconsideration whether I should continue with what I felt God was leading me to do I abruptly discontinued for a few weeks. I was being condemned...I started to think about all of my imperfections. I remember getting a message via YouTube one day with a young man asking about the videos if I had stopped and at that point I remember what I felt months prior. That if my testimony was to help one person I would give God the Glory. He expressed what he was battling with and asked questions about God and walking with Christ. I really didn't think I was qualified enough to help him but the Holy Spirit reminded me that He doesn't call the qualified but he qualifies the called. Be reminded me that whatever it is that the Holy Spirit has placed in my heart to do, your disobedience has a trickling effect.

Obeying God is dearing to be different, to speak to a certain group, to be chosen and many times not fitting in. We were probably made to stand out, to be a light in a dark world. What has the Holy Spirit placed in your heart to do? How easy or hard has it been for you?
