31 Day Challenge - Round 2
it’s taken a while… but i’ve finally decided what my next 31 day challenge will be!
i feel that i need to be more active in my life, and walking out my faith more - “if you’re going to talk the talk, you’ve got to walk the walk”. faith is tangible, and without deeds is dead.
i’ve received many, many prophetic words at my church for the last 3 years, and my first reaction has usually been “really??”/”that’s not me”/”i’m so far from that” for a very long time until recently when i realized that i need to truly believe and CHOOSE to believe that God will do what He has said to me, no matter what the reality looks like. If He said it, He’ll do it.
i got a word that i am prophetic recently, so to walk out that word, i joined the prayer ministry team, and i’ve been in training at CG for the past month or so, praying for a different person each week, getting feedback from my leader and the person, etc.. it’s been pretty neat and scary, but super cool to see people blessed and hearing them share about their lives too.
something REALLY cool happened last week, as my leader has been encouraging me to be more specific when i pray, but this time she asked me to give a name, something where i can be wrong in. so i got a name for the person i was praying for, and my leader asked what about that name? i got the word restoration and it turned out that was actually the name of an old friend they had been thinking of contacting again recently. they lost touch because of a major accident that happened a few years ago and caused a traumatic ripple of events. needless to say, i was floored. i’d never tried that before, except for one other time 2 years ago, which i got wrong.
prophetic simply means hearing from God. all i did was ask Him for a name, and i honestly thought i was pulling it out of my butt, and i’m always hesitant when praying for others, but He showed me that i can hear His voice as clearly for others as i do for myself!
so to challenge myself further and walk out another word (i am a writer) simultaneously, i’m going to write a prophetic letter to a different person for the next 31 days.
due to the personal nature of this challenge i will either post the letter with no name OR the name of the person i wrote to. nothing will be posted until the person has received it.
if you want a letter, FB/tweet/email me! :)
