The Body Snatcher

  • I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; Ezekiel 34:16 WEB

    As the tears flowed down my face, I knew they weren't mine. I had a rough upbringing and could count the people that I trusted on one hand, and have a couple of fingers left. Yet as I laid hands on this hopelessly lost rogue that had stolen so many things in the past, and was even now wanted by the police, I could feel such compassion welling up inside me.

    It was just a hard hearted person, praying for another hard hearted person, but the Lord melted us both. These feelings were not mine. I did not even want this person in my yard, but I had been abducted by the Holy Spirit. God loved this lost soul and He had sent him to my house to ask for prayer that day because he was in a really bad situation. For some reason he looked up to me, probably because I had invited him to church a few times.

    I didn't like this person, but when he asked me to pray for them, I submitted to the Holy Spirit's guidance. The moment that I touched him, we all started weeping. It was a divine encounter and I could feel the Lord breaking through years of pain and disappointments. I could literally feel how much God loved this poor soul that was lost, alone, scared, and hurting. The arrest warrants with his name on it did not affect His love for him or push Him away. He understood him when no one else did. I could see that even though society rejected him, Jesus accepted him.

    If you are lost, know that the Lord is seeking you today and that He is not mad at you. He wants you to come back to Him. God loves the lost and wants to bring them into His family. What they have done in the past does not matter. He will wash them as white as snow. If you are standing near them, then you might just become His means to reach them. He will use your hands as His own. He will use your mouth to speak His words. The Holy Spirit is the Ultimate Body Snatcher.

    Prayer: Heavenly Father, please lead me into divine encounters and conversations. Open the door and I will step through it. I will be Your hands on this earth. Here I am, use me, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for this word this morning.  My heart is encouraged and it is a confirmation in my spirit.  That word 'Come" is what I have been hearing for the past few weeks as I go through this storm in my mind, body, family etc.  There were times I just felt left behind because of all the disappointments and frustrations.  I realize the love of God is unstoppable and no matter where I am - he is there with me !  Thank Ya -- God bless you

This is true  for your children too. If they do or say things we don't like God still loves them with an emence love.  The Holy Spirit can work within us to love them in the midst of their wrong doing.  He has forgiven me, so too can I forgive others. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us. Holly spirit help me be the Mom you want me to be. Help me to love them as you would. Let me be your arms and hands. My daughters are my mission field. Within my home, I pray may love, hope and forgiveness abide.
