Ebenezer: He has helped me this far (My Stone of Help)
Man still remains God's tool to bring remedy and success to the earth. In the Book of Judges we see it repeatedly that when the people of Israel came under oppressive regimes, God sent a man or a woman to alleviate their condition.
Even when angels are sent to them, they do not directly intervene, but work through such men and women.
It is important to note that God doesn't just send anyone; He sends those He has called- those who have separated themselves to Him. There is a process for these men and women. The author of this book, through her life experience, reveals important aspects of God's calling and the process involved.
Though she shares her story, she also reveals scriptural truths. God's hand has been upon her and I want to highlight three distinctive signs of this:
An insatiable hunger for the things of God.An unusual reverential fear/love of God.A dislike for the satanic that stirs regular attacks by demons.There are two fundamental pillars around which every calling revolves: Molding and Manifestation.
Molding is a divine process where the Holy Spirit works on your heart to mold you to be like Christ. This is a crucial part of any believer's walk with God. Manifestation is the progressive expression of God through the man or woman with the call.
When you read through, you'll see her unwavering passion for the things of God. This passion drives her relentlessly to the presence of God where molding occurs.
1 Peter 2:2:
As newborn babes, DESIRE the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
Her desire to know God drove her to study the Scriptures, listen to messages, and attend seminars until she clearly understood what God required of her. Her stories reveal her baby steps of obedience until it became her nature.
God uses everything around you to teach, train and transform you into a great person. When you look at her, you want God to use you like he's using her today. However, she didn't start here, it has taken years- of pruning, watering, serving, rebuke, correction, obedience, joy, fasting, denials of comforts and pleasures- to get here.
You can see the mantle of an intercessor, teacher, and evangelist manifesting in different spheres. You can see her moving into that office of a prophetess to the nations.
Her story is a testament of God's grace- how He can take a young, blunt, introverted, shy Catholic girl and by his grace, manifest Himself through her, to her generation and the nations.
Amen.
