Prophecies Come to Pass

The more I've been thinking about it lately, the more I have come to realize how serious God is when He makes promises. Or prophecies. Or whatever you may want to call them. Here is a little testimony of how this rings true in my own life.

Last summer, I took part in the summer internship at my church, which was a great experience. It was a season of my life where God drew me closer to Him, and I really saw Him build me up and strengthen me for what was to come. Or in other words, for senior year. Looking back on that season in my life, I'm glad He did that. Cause I don't know if I could have made it otherwise.

There came a point where He gave me a few promises/prophecies:

1. During this school year, God would reveal His love through people and situations. That I would grow closer with those who are already there, but also that new friendships would arise.

2. The winter would be a very difficult time for me. But that if I held onto Him, His word, and those He'd surrounded me with, I would be just fine.

3. A revolution is coming. Many are going to be saved at my school, and find God.

The first prophecy has come to pass. I've grown a lot closer to a lot of people I didn't think I would have even six months ago. My friendships with others have developed, and I've made a lot (and I mean a lot) of new friends too. This has been a huge blessing in my life, simply by the fact that God is revealing His love to me through other people, and using others to work through my heart and make me more complete.

The second prophecy has also come to pass. The past few months have been some of the hardest months I have ever gone through. I can definitely say that they have been some of the darkest months I have seen in a very long time. But God's been faithful as He said He would be, and He's carried me through these times. He's allowed me to be broken so that I could be made whole, and even better than I have ever been before. And it's true. Even today, I feel that I have come a very long way from where I was even a few months ago. I've grown tremendously, and it's been yet another blessing to see God move so much in my life.

The third prophecy has yet to pass, but I have faith that it will. Are there doubts? Sure there are. Sometimes I look at the situation with a practical mindset and think to myself, God, how in the world are You going to work this out? But He will. He's made everything work out thus far, so I can stand firm in my faith, knowing that His will will come to pass.

I am ready. Me and many others are ready. There's an army of men and women of God rising up at my school, in my city, in the Tri-Cities. I'm ready for whatever God may have for me, for others, and for His glory. I'm excited for what's to come, and I'm forever blessed and humbled that God would use someone as inadequate and broken as I for His kingdom and His glory. Here it comes. The rainstorm is coming, and you better be sure to grab your umbrellas.


Okay... so that last part was a little corny. But you get my point. :)
