Did He Prompt You Yet?

God, with the help of the Holy Spirit, has a very specific way of prompting us to do certain things - whether that’s starting something new, pressing play again on something we already started, or bringing something to an end. These promptings are always used to carry out His purpose and plan for our lives. Sometimes we feel those promptings by direct way of the Holy Spirit … or in my case through other people that the Holy Spirit will use. Whatever way it is, God knows JUST how to get our attention, in very intentional and deliberate ways.

From my first post "Did Somebody Say RELAUNCH?!” I talked about how God kept tugging on me getting back to the blog and writing. The thought crossed my mind more than once but I resisted to press into it. I mean I did acknowledge to God that I heard Him, but I didn’t press into it. Remember I also said that couple people asked me if and when I’d start the blog back up, but again, I just acknowledged it and didn’t press (see that intentionality popping up?!) About a month later, I was asked again if I thought about writing and starting the blog back up. I told the person who asked that I had thought about it and that others had asked me too but that was it. This particular person then told me to pray on it - so I did. And after I prayed on it on, there was a lot of back and forth going on in my head for the next few weeks until I received the final prompting from the Holy Spirit. This final prompting would then be all I needed, and I believe it was also the last prompting that God was going to give me.

[Let me pause the story and be completely transparent with you all right now. Literally, as I am typing this post I believe there is a part of me that is scared to start back writing and sharing because I don’t know if people will actually read what I write and also what people will think about what I write. And then there is this fear of not knowing what to write about. However, as I’m sitting here, the Holy Spirit is legit tugging on me, saying that I don’t need to worry about all that. That I just need to stay the course and everything else will all fall into its place. This content is meant to bring glory and honor to God, and if it does help someone along the way, then more glory, honor and praise be to God.]

2 Timothy 1:7 (NKJV) says, “For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

Now, back to that final prompting from the Holy Spirit that came about three weeks after I prayed on it. This took place at Reveal Night on March 10th at our church, (shameless plug to Revival Now Global Church). There someone I knew said to me out of their mouth, in so many words, “I wasn’t going to say anything to you but the Holy Spirit told me to tell you that the thing you’ve been going back and forth about doing, just do it.” - and I immediately knew what they were talking about (ATOR). Y'all I love that when God wants to get your attention, he’ll do it in a way that he knows you'll get - even if it takes a couple of tries. So at this point I have no choice but to be obedient to God and to push past the fears that I have and just do it. Trusting that God will provide and sustain - as he always has.

So, I will end this post by saying that I am constantly in awe of how God is concerned with me and what he wants to do through me. And, if you too have been feeling the promptings of the Holy Spirit concerning things that have been asked of you, let this post be confirmation to go ahead and do it. You’ll thank God for it afterwards, I promise!
