The Run Is Done

I'm going to put this as clearly as I can: 

YOU CANNOT HIDE OR RUN AWAY FROM GOD. 

Let me share with you a little experience that I had that proves it.   

My church (TPLC), has been having a revival throughout the weekend, continuing tonight, with Prophet Chris Leach. Not gonna lie, the whole "prophecy thing" freaked me the heck out. Like, I was scared. Saturday night, I didn't even stay in the sanctuary for the worship. I ran out, and hid in the nursery. I felt guilty the entire time. On Sunday morning, I made it through the worship, but then I hid out in the nursery again. Sunday after noon at the Centerville campus, I made it through worship, and a little bit past it. Sunday night, I stayed a little bit longer than the other services, but then I ran out again. 

Well, generally I would hide out in the nursery, but for some reason, I found myself sitting in the prayer room, listening in on what was happening in the sanctuary, without even remembering that Prophet Leach would have to go through the prayer room when he left the sanctuary. 

Anyways, I was just sitting there. Well, in walks Prophet Leach along with another guy from my church who was walking him out. I didn't think anything of it. He was just walking through. So, he got about halfway out of the room, when he looked at me, cocked his head, and said, "Can I pray for you?" Before I could even get out the whole word, "sure," he laid hands on my head. He started to pray for me. 

I instantly felt the power and the presence of God. It was absolutely wonderful. Now, he didn't even talk to me before he started praying, but he said, during his prayer, exactly what I needed to hear. He started by praying somewhere along the lines of, "God, I pray that the spirit of fear would leave this girl, in Jesus' name." Then, he continued to pray. He said that the Holy Ghost was all over me. Boy, did I feel it. He told me to let what I was hearing come out of my mouth. I was just like, ummmm, wow. Then, he started speaking in tongues while praying for me. At that point, I started bawling my eyes out. 

Then, him and the other guy from my church left the room. After I sort of composed myself, I couldn't stop smiling. I returned to the sanctuary after this experience, and I went in with a whole new mind set. 

I am not scared anymore. The fear is gone. I am no longer going to just sit back and hide from God. I'm done trying to run away from him. The odds of Him finding me like He did last night, are always going to be in my favor. He is committed to me, and isn't going anywhere. 

I am beyond blessed to have had this experience. I cannot wait for church tonight. I cannot wait to finally go all in with God. To finally receive the gift that I was promised. The Holy Ghost. It is waiting for me, and I am ready. 

Thank You, Jesus for not letting me run away! (:
