You've probably heard of information overload. Considering you live in the 21st century you've probably experienced it.
The past two days for me have been revelation overload. Imagine the feeling of sitting at the last session of a first class, two-day conference. You've got a binder full of information and you still can't write fast enough to get everything down that the speaker is saying. That's how I've felt since Monday, except the speaker has been God. I've had my laptop on and my prayer journal open but I haven't been able to type/write fast enough to record everything He's said to me.
I think God has to speak to us in spurts, especially when He's speaking revelation. There's only so much we can take at a time. This week God took me to my limit. It's as if He's revealed to me more about His plan for my life in two days than He has in the past two years. I'm pretty sure that's not true, but at the end of the two days it feels like it's true.
Two thoughts about the experience (since I don't have room here for 2,222 thoughts).
The revelation gifts of knowledge and prophecy (1 Corinthians 12) are for real. After these two days I can personally prove it. Four different people, all from different states, either got together in an elaborate conspiracy or supernaturally heard from God for me. After what God has just done I feel so spoiled. For two straight days He took a flourescent magic marker and wrote me messages in the sky. I'm so thankful.
God really, really, really loves us. He desires to speak to us. His heart is to guide us. He gets a kick out of proving Himself to us. If we will put ourselves in strategic positions to hear from Him, we will.
I love that word picture, the idea about the flourescent magic marker writing messages in the sky. It speaks volumes about a God so big and mighty He could choose not to care, or Who could stay busy keeping the world spinning, but cares enough to send me a personal love note. WOW.
