Prophesying Indeed!

It was on the 12th January, Lord's Day, that I prophesied in the prophesying meeting of the church in Gurugram concerning the need to be constituted with the word of God. It was when I released the burden on "Carrying Out the Stewardship of  God for the One New Man" that the Spirit led me to prophesy concerning a sister who was deciding to go back for job after her short-term training. I followed the Lord's leading within me and called named her out and openly encouraged her to continue her training and complete the two-years full-time training. It came as a shock to her and her mother who was also present at the meeting. In fact, the whole church amen such a word to a young sister who just completed her secular studies. The Lord's speaking was very clear.

Later, after the meeting, the mother came and fellowshipped with me about their real situation that made it difficult for her daughter to continue her training. Her husband just lost his job and they were stuck up with a pending loan to payback for their house construction, and despite trying many alternatives, the only solution seemed to be her daughter to work and support the family's need. So it was the circumstance that stopped her daughter from continuing the training. 

My innate reply and fellowship to the sister was that if her daughter has the heart for the training the Lord will open the way. And I further fellowshipped that if finance was the only issue, in fellowship with the church, her daughter can be supported by the church. But I definitely encouraged a young sister to join the training even as I would with my own daughter. I even gave a testimony of my own younger sister whom I encouraged to join the training after her Master's degree. After the training she got into one of the prestigious universities of India and completed her M.Phil. and PhD, and right after her academic pursuit, she got an Asst. Professor job, got married, and is now a working sister and a mother. The time invested for the full-time training was never a waste. In fact, it was the best "life-time investment!" When our hearts are for the Lord, the Lord will open all the ways. Then, both mother and daughter said they would consider the fellowship I had with them.

The following day, they came and fellowshipped that they would take the way of joining the full-time training. Then all necessary fellowships were done with the local churches involved, the church in Trivandrum and the church in Gurugram, and also with few other brothers and the training center. 

Yesterday, the 29th Jan, this sister came back to join the full-time training. May the Lord grace her to complete the training and be trained and perfected to become useful vessel to the Lord. This experience was indeed a prophesying.
