FACING REALITY!

(An Introduction)

God took me to Holy Ghost school in 2003 and there He opened my eyes wonderfully to begin to know Him in a closer, more intimate and powerful way. My relationship with Him became so steady and sweet that He gave me some messages by revelation, and asked me to publish them. That was how I wrote my first book; "The Journey Into The Wealthy Place".

After I had written that book, I sincerely thought that I had actually "arrived!" But little did I know that it was only the beginning of the journey for me. Which journey? The journey to the place of peace, joy and spiritual rest in Christ, in this life.The journey to the perfect will of God; the journey to the place of abundant life which Christ promised us; the journey to the realms of Christlikeness and life in the Spirit. And so, I thought I had arrived, not knowing that I had only started! I did not know that I had an over value of myself. My spiritual life was still very far from what God had intended it to be, yet I knew it not. I was therefore operating in pride, for high-thought of oneself is pride.

I was in this state of   pride, ignorance and self-praise until the next thing happened which nearly took my life and the life of my daughter. The Lord visited me suddenly, dramatically and nearly consumed me, like a hungry lion would consume a prey! (Hosea 5:14-15). He visited me to take me into the next stage of my journey with Him. And what was the next stage? "Submission!" "submission to my own husband!"

Yes, He came to personally take me into this one thing that I hated so much, which was submission to my husband. The Lord knew that this was one topic I hated so much and which no man or woman could bring me  into. He knew I wasn't willing to give it a second thought any day. Yet He knew that was the next thing I must get, else He would drop me from His end-time army! And so He came to personally take me through it.
