Experiencing God Again!!

Recently I have had a situation at work where myself and a colleague were clashing, so in the end I confronted the person about it to get this issue out in the open. After I spoke to them I prayed and asked God to work in that situation and asked that all would be good. Anyway next minute the person came back to me later in the day and said they were sorry about the whole thing and they just wanted us to start a fresh. This is great because 2 good things from this. 1 the situation at work is much better, 2 I had a another real god answered pray moment AGAIN!!

Today was our Holy Spirit Day for alpha and John Irvin does the talk, he is the dean of Coventry Cathedral where I live but he was also involved in putting together the alpha with Nicki Gumble back in the day as I think John was the minister of holy trinity brompton at the time (which is the church where Nicki is the minister for now) So its a really good talk. As a leader of one of our small groups this year it meant I had to pray for the guests at the end of the talk. It was really scary as I have never had to do this before. I mean, I do pray for others but usually for a particular situation or a particular request etc but this was totally different. Obviously you pray for them to be filled with the spirit etc. Anyway I did it but one particular person I prayed for I felt God saying to them 'You just have to let me in, open the door, I'm waiting to be in your life, its like picking up the telephone and I'll be at the other end'. I was like WOW where did that come from and it obviously was from God because they got upset and so that really moved me then because I realised that God had used me to pass on this message. So obviously i started blubbing then too. but all was good. really good.

Also I spoke to a women there who is involved in a local christian project that helps young men get off drug and alcohol addictions, she was saying they need loads of volunteer. I have thought about volunteering for this group before but then never did but I think I may consider getting involved. Also it would be a good way to give HOURS OF KINDNESS for Hope 08. It would be a case of volunteering myself to help teach the men how to cook, so that when they finish the programme and have to look after themselves that they have got basic skills in the kitchen. Anyway gonna pray about this and see if that's where God wants me. Who knows he my have other plans for me.
