Telepathy

I seem to have acquired a new spiritual gift, telepathy.  I am choosing to classify it for myself as the spiritual gift of "the word of knowledge."  I was studying the spiritual gifts and I realized a word of wisdom is a word we get from God, and a word of knowledge is something we get from people.  I have always known the gift of a word of knowledge is when you know something about another person that you wouldn't naturally know.  Either God tells you something about them, or in the case of my current gift, they tell me themselves, telepathically.

The reason for the gift of a word of knowledge is so that we can best know how to pray for others. It also helps in building closer friendships and relationships with others.

Over the past 3 weeks I have been able to telepathically communicate with various people.  As in, I don't verbally speak to these people but our minds communicate.  I heard once that this is how angels communicate.  Their minds talk to each other but their mouth doesn't move.

This ability started with my co-workers at my pizza work place.  Then it expanded to me being able to pray for people I had just delivered a pizza to and they could literally hear me praying for them.  We could then converse in our minds for a bit after I took a pizza to them.  They always ask me, "How are we able to communicate this way?" And I just say, "It's a spiritual gift that God recently gave me." And then we have a short, light hearted conversation about life, my life and their life. :)

I realize most people reading this will think I've gone crazy but I promise you I haven't.  I am still sleeping very well and eating normally.  I have not missed a day of work since I started working again.  I'm not schizophrenic. :) The people I'm talking to in my mind are actual people, not demons, so that is good. :)

I think what it is, is that God has opened this gift up for me to share the gospel more and to help people more.  The Bible says, "Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."  My greatest desire has always, always been to help people.  I think it makes sense for God to give me this gift because I am generally shy and don't talk a whole lot, except on here and my social media like my Twitter.  Look me up on there.  I am listed as Prophet Lisa. :)

I generally don't open up to people very much, but with this new gift, it's like I can be more open and share thoughts honestly and other people can share their most honest thoughts with me. It is a beautiful thing.  Although sometimes you wish people didn't know every thought that comes in your head, so that can be interesting too. :)

I saw this concept of telepathy in the movie Phenomenon as a kid and I was always intrigued by it.  I also very much loved the movie "What Women Want" in my 20's.  I watched that movie several times.  In that movie Mel Gibson can read the minds of women, as in he literally could hear their thoughts.  In the movie every single woman he walked by, he could hear what they were thinking.  Recently a movie came out, and it's on Amazon Prime, called "What Men Want."  In that movie the main female character can hear every thought of the men around her.

I don't have the ability to read people's thoughts all the time.  It is only with certain people in certain situations.  It is mainly just an ability that I have while working.  I suppose this gift could also be in the category of the gift of miraculous powers listed in Corinthians.

I realize you reading this that you might be skeptical.  I wasn't sure it was real at first either. But I feel like God keeps telling me, "According to your faith it will be done to you."  We often fear what we don't understand.  I don't entirely know why God gave me this gift, except that it has enabled me to help others more.  God knows that is my greatest desire, so it makes sense that he would give me this gift.

And now here are my thoughts on the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit:

I remember wondering in most of my church upbringing WHY most churches never talk about the Holy Spirit.  Why are the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit never mentioned?  So many "Christians" want to say the supernatural gifts ceased with the canonization of the Bible, but that is a false theology.  I realized the truth is that it is because most "Christians" are actually scared of the Holy Spirit.  They are scared to death of the supernatural.  They prefer to just stay in the shallow waters with God and not go into the deep waters with God.  They want some of the Holy Spirit but not All of him.  They want to stay comfortable.  They want some power from God but not too much.  They want fire from God the size of a match for example, but for God to put a bonfire in their heart seems too scary for them.  So they cower down in fear.  They let fear paralyze them and hinder them from the full life they Could have in God.

I generally have never been afraid of anything.  I have never been easily embarrassed.  I have always taken the bull by the horns in life.  I have almost always been very courageous and stepped out when God wanted me to.  I have always been willing to go for God where no one has gone before.  When I was 14 I went to Calcutta, India with a team for God on a missions trip.  I'm not afraid of where God will take me.  I think God knows this, and that is why he gave me this gift.  So praise God. :)

"Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders.  Let me walk upon the waters wherever you would call me. Take me deeper then my feet could ever wander." :)

God loves you all! Don't be afraid of the supernatural.  Don't be afraid of the power of God.

God bless!

Testimonies

This is great! I’m so proud of my ex husband for writing all this out. :) “In my youth I was rebellious and listened to heavy metal music and partied a lot and one day I failed a drug test for a promising job at the age of 19. God put his people across my path and I began to go to church and read the Bible. I was baptized at 19 and left the party life behind. I married too young and that marriage failed. In that time of suffering I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit which I was previously not open too. Then I began struggling a year later in 2008 for several years with anxiety depression and paranoia. I prayed and prayed for my healing and for over a decade it seemed no healing would come. I re married in that time and we had two beautiful wonderful little girls and then six years into my marriage everything came to a head with my mental health through some very unfortunate events out of my control. I reached out for help and got treatment and I made a full recovery of my mental health through medicine.” Praise God :)

My testimony in a few sentences. 😀 “Before I came to know Jesus fully I was a liar, shoplifter, disrespectful to my mom, a risk taker, overly bold in a bad way, unconcerned with consequences for my actions and I cared about no one but myself. After making Jesus my best friend I now love God and everyone so much! 😍” woot! Praise God!

Another great testimony: “Mine would be I was a great guy that everyone wanted to be around and then because of peer pressure and getting caught up in the world that was turned by the weight of the world, not only by sex addiction and alcohol, but also trying to please everyone. I came in contact with trying to figure out who I really am and what did I want out of life. I think it wasn't until here in Austin recently that I have discovered more to life than just trying to please people, but to please God.“ woot!

Women

I think the main thing my boyfriend and I have in common is that we both hate women. Or we have disliked strongly many of the women in our past. When I was a young girl I literally didn't want to grow up to be a woman, because I hated all the women in my life.  I hated my mom and I hated my step mom.  My step mom was a clean freak and a control freak.  She wouldn't allow anything to be out of order in the house.  Everything had to look perfect at all times.  I never felt like she really loved me.  I never felt like my mom really loved me either.  I still don't.  I didn't want to grow up to be anything like the women I knew.

But that all changed though when I met my youth leader Leanne.  I then finally had a model of someone that I wanted to be like.  Also at 14 my grandma, my mom's mom, came back into my life and I always admired her more then I have anyone in my life.  My grandma was a genius.  She owed about 6 houses and rented them out.  She was always working, always doing something.  And my youth pastor was always investing in me and trying to help me.  I admired her a ton for that.  Then I met my college room mate in my small group when I was 16.  She said she was a missionary kid and that she grew up in the Philippines and I was like "that's SO cool!"  Also my best friend Ashley that I met when I was 14 really changed my perception of the female race.  She and I have been best friends for 21 years now.  I praise God for her and I don't know where I would be without having had her advice and listening ear over the years.  But when I was young I hated my mom for marrying my dad.  My dad sexually abused me from the time I was born until I was 6 when he essentially tried to rape me.  I ran away before anything serious could happen.  But then my whole life I couldn't understand how my mom couldn't see it that he was evil like that.  I didn't get why she married him. And I have been trying to process my anger over that for 29 years now.  I feel like I finally totally forgave her yesterday for it though, so praise God. But I still hate women. Because why are women so stupid. They make stupid decisions all the time.  They hurt people.  They gossip about people.  They create unnecessary drama just because they are bored.  They get jealous of other women and try to tear them down any way they can. There is a reason why Eve was the one who caused the fall of man, because women I guess have always been easily conned by Satan.  And there is a reason why God said a man is to be the head of his wife, because women need direction.

So to all the women out there who are like this, please stop harassing people and hurting people.  Stop gossiping about others just because you are jealous of them.  Mind your own business.  Run your own race.  And stop trying to tear other people down or ruin their lives.  The games need to end.  Thank you God that the games women play are going to end.  In Jesus' name Amen.

To my Mom

“Mom I just want to say Happy almost Mother’s Day. I love you very very much! And I just want to say I forgive you for marrying Dad and David and for, in doing that, essentially messing up my first family and my second family. But I forgive you for that. And I’m praying that God will forgive you too. Thank you God for forgiving my mom. I pray that she will want to live now and that she will forgive herself. In Jesus’ name amen.” 😀

Please all pray for my mom, that she will receive that well. Thank you online friends!
