"Nana's Lesson"

Stepping Out in RED Shoes!

- Day 83 -

"Instead of letting the water run continuously,"  

she said,  

"Turn it on when you need it, then turn it off."

I'll never forget that first lesson my mother-in-law taught me as a young bride.   I know it might sound silly to some of you.  At 25 years of age, I didn't quite get it myself, but because she was older and wiser, I followed her instruction.  I washed the dish in the sink -- turned the water on and rinsed it -- turned the water off -- and put the dish in the drying rack.  Then I washed another dish and repeated the process again and again.  Of course, her goal was to be efficient -- to not waste money letting unused water run down the drain. 

Efficiency is  achieving maximum productivity

 with minimum waste.

Though she taught me that over 25 years ago, the Holy Spirit brought it to mind with such clarity, before I even got out of bed this morning.   That wasn't all He said. 

"In 5 days there will be a release of 

the anointing to pray for people."

He said.

"We're going from spilling 

on people to...

 turning on and off the flow 

of anointing as needed."

Really?  I wondered what was on my calendar five days from now.  Ahhhh!  I'll be facilitating a Home Fellowship Group,  looking at scriptures on prayer and healing...  How apropos!  Several days ago I was asking God what He wanted to do at that meeting, and I had sensed it was to be a time of ministry with the practical application of laying on of hands and prayer.  Surely, we will be seeing divine results that night!  Thank you LORD, in advance!

Counting down, in RED shoes.
