The God of Details.

Stepping Out in RED Shoes!

- Day 153 -

I love it when My Daddy shows off!

Something wonderful happened to me today in the prayer closet.  Like a sudden bolt of lightning, the revelation struck me: 

God is giving me a man who is a powerful, 

well experienced swordsman.  

He’s not only a “chapter and verse” kind of guy, 

but he continually uses it and 

preaches it with vigor, under the anointing!

It’s not enough to have a sword and know all about your sword.  You have to be a skillful swordsman!   That means you have to go out and use your sword – often -- so that you become good at it.  Anyone can quote chapter and verse.  That’s not enough!  You’ve got to live it!  Then once you’ve proved it,  by walking it out successfully,  you’ve got the personal testimonies you need to preach it!

That was one of the nonnegotiables on my list:

Do you remember when God told me that He was The God of Details and that I was to make a detailed list of what I wanted in a husband?  He said to me…

“You’ve forgotten, Gail, how detailed I can be!

Make a list.   Leave nothing out.   Get detailed.

In fact,  make it over-detailed!

Truth be told, I’ve already chosen him and

He meets every detail on the list that you

haven’t even written yet.  That’s because I

know you, better than you know yourself,

and I already know everything you’re going

to put down on that list.  You’ll see!

I’m The God of Details!”

In my church there’s a very nice man that blows the shofar.  He’s not overly outspoken, but he’s prayerful, prophetic and passionate about Jesus.  He came to me last week at the end of service, almost in tears.  He told me that God has had him praying for me and that he’s seen a glimpse of the man I’m to marry. 

“He’s a powerful handler of God’s Word,”

 He said,  “Wow! Can he preach!”

As I stood in my prayer closet early this morning, not yet in my RED shoes,  God took all that, dropped it into my heart, and turned the light on.    I found myself falling to my knees,  and praising Him without reservation.  God said He was The God of Details, and now He’s starting to prove Himself.   

I love it when My Daddy shows off!

Suddenly, from the deepest parts of my belly erupted a new and powerful tongue like nothing I’ve ever spoken before.  It was bold and robust!  As it came forth, I could feel the prayer warrior in me doubling in size in the spirit realm.

It was a strong, commanding tongue

and it came forth with authority!

I’ve been waiting for this tongue to surface for months.  I heard it once and thought, “Oooo – I want one of those!”   You can’t make something like that happen though.  God’s got to give it to you – like a gift!   Today I received that gift and I’ve been playing with it all day – practicing it, exercising it.  Daddy likes you to use the gifts He gives you.  He doesn’t like it when they get put on a shelf.

“He fills my life with good things!”

Psalm 103:5 TLB

Heading out the door in RED shoes!
