I woke up this morning amazed to learn that Jesus still teaches us today through the use of parables. I am not talking about the parables we currently see in the Gospels. I am refering to promptings of the Holy Spirit in our daily lives. Now, please understand, the mesaage I am about to share with you was NOT a dream! It was a very clear impression upon my heart and soul that I could visualize as easily as watching a show on TV. And while this was not a new experience for me, because of the recent teaching I have been sharing on the Holy Spirit and His purpose, I was much more in tune with His prompting and the message I was being given. that being said, here we go: "Do not, my beloved be in a rush to touch the anointed garment laid out before you. Be patient and wait for the Holy Spirit to guide you in God's timing. Does a bride don her wedding gown days, or even weeks before her wedding as daily wear? Will she wear that special garment to perform ordinary household chores? Or does she keep it well protected so it is not damaged, awaiting her special day? So it is with the anointing placed on our lives. Be not rushed to move into your fulfillment. While things may appear to be moving slowly to us, we must trust in God's perfect timing for our lives. Your gifts are given for a purpose, God's Purpose, not our own. And, when the Holy Spirit pushes you to that purpose, do not withdraw in fear or doubt. For that which you are called to, you shall also be equipped for. Step out in faith, secure in the knowledge that each step shall be measured and guided in power and authority. Amen
