I have been word sparring with a prideful and obstinate woman for months, out of necessity, and Friday it reached its peak. I was sorely tempted to retaliate in petulance but finally responded by not responding. Gods will for me was to be silent. I knelt to His will.
And then! I was nudged to contact my friend. The timing was perfect as she needed prayer as well. As I prayed for her, my inner storm subsided.
As we chatted, I felt joy replacing exasperation and I realized there is more going on with the verse Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
And then I dreamed. An amazing dream. People, mostly men, a lot in suits, some women, all around me, were in various stages of kneeling. Some were already in a full-on unsupported kneel.
I saw me in a full kneel as I have been experiencing (and successfully) Exodus 14:14, “The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.”
The others in the dream? Well… God works globally and if I see the desire, need, want, etc, to kneel before King Jesus others are experiencing this.
As for “the suits”… all those personas that come to your thoughts.
And the woman? I don’t know. Will she attempt another round? She can, but again I will wrestle with the angel and come away blessed. 🤐🫡
Sometimes the Lord emphasises to me to "zip my lip" and not comment back, leave it to God.
Just as there are times to sleep and times to fight or defend our faith, there are other times to step back and be a prayer warrior, leaving the rest to God
