I'm glad that we obeyed the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
In our recent teaching trip, at the seminar, I had it in my spirit to ask those who wanted to be filled with the Holy Spirit to come forward. About 10 people were filled with the Holy Spirit, and the team prayed for them.
Then I was prompted to give an altar call for those who wanted to confess Jesus as Lord. I hesitated as it was a seminar for pastors, church workers and bible school students. My mind was reasoning that there could not be unbelievers around. I looked around after i gave the call, and quickly wanted to go on to the next thing. But hubby pointed out to me there were 2 near the front. They were taken aside by the local missions pastor.
It was such a beautiful sight (i could see them through the glass doors) to behold him sharing the gospel and then praying with this couple just next to the statue of Buddha outside the hotel function room. To me, it was a indication of light triumphing over darkness. Also, it showed me that the Holy Spirit knew better - thus the salvation altar call in a believers' meeting!
This couple was brought by their mother to the seminar as they had returned home after many months of being away to protest against their mother becoming a Christian and then a full-time minister. The mother was dancing for joy and praising God for the times she had prayed with tears.
The next day, hubby had it in his heart to have all of us go into a time of worship. As we began to worship, he heard from the Holy Spirit that the interpreter who was also a worship leader was to come up and sing a song. When he asked her, she was at first uncertain. She said later that she had a song but she was stumped at that moment regarding the title. Her co-worker went to the keyboard after she hummed the song to him. When she started singing, the presence of the Lord intensified.
The song was aligned to the vision hubby was receiving the very next moment - On Eagle's Wings. Hubby encouraged those present at the seminar that God wanted them to arise on eagles' wings even as they waited on Him, and that they would surely begin to soar. He told them that eagles did not flap their wings, but waited for the current (ie Holy Spirit) and then glided (ie flowed with the Holy Spirit). Thus they would soar high above all their circumstances. And be able to see clearly as from God's perspective because of the advantage of height. In this way, they will know what to do, and how to do (Isa 48:17, John 16:13).
At the end of the seminar, a lady pastor testified about how she was blessed by the prophetic word, and that her broken wing had been restored, and she could soar. For too long she had gotten by with just one wing: she was worried before the seminar about how to find a venue to rent for her church, as she had been asked by the landlord to leave as she could not pay the higher rent he wanted. After she received the word, she was no longer anxious. She knew in her heart that the Lord would definitely help her.
Hallelujah! The Holy Spirit knows so we just allow Him room to move.
