Wondering how it went last night?

I have always said that when one preaches, or does something upfront and visible for God, one must always try to keep the perspective of "the Audience of One".

So I tried to last night. Before I left, one of the ladies told me that she had seen one of the members respond in a very receptive way. "Who knows", I thought to myself. "Leave it to the Holy Spirit."

Apart from that, when it was all over, I felt almost empty. As if something was "out of sync".

Later I found out that someone I had been praying for had taken a critical turn for the worse. The battle was on for his life even as I journeyed home. Perhaps that was what I picked up? I didn't sense anything from the Lord. But I felt a sore throat coming on and decided to have an early night after supper with Hubby.

I woke up this morning feeling pretty rotten - sore throat got worse. Slept in a bit more and ate little for breakfast. Had pure lemon juice instead, before going to work.

At work, I had episodes of feeling cold - sure sign of a fever onset. Pressed on and felt better when I had a soupy meal for lunch. Then had an afternoon nap. Felt worse when I got up. Fever still present. Prayed.

Dinner was with the family.

Then I had feedback. The person we had been praying for has taken a turn for the better. Praise God!

Then my children shared. Their friends had spoked and shared with one another about the message last night. Some asked questions. Some used the phrase I felt the Lord had given - Metamorphosis - amongst themselves. One particularly passed a message to me via my Arrow #3. They had felt ministered to and challenged.

Praise God.

So even though I didn't hear immediate from my Audience of One, (He was more intent on getting me to pray, than to commend me or anything else!) I know that in the end, His message got through.

So folks, thanks again for praying. I really appreciated it. Now I need to sleep. It's almost midnight and I need to rest to let the Lord deal with the fever and sore throat. Bless you!
