Over the past two years, since God began my “Wild Goose Chase”, I have been unashamed to share with anyone how God is working in my life. Whether a complete stranger, family or friend- I have shared bits and pieces of the ways God Is working , speaking and revealing Himself to me.
Most people are polite but I can tell they are quite skeptical. Of course, as Jesus said in the Gospel of Mark 6:
4 Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.” 5 And because of their unbelief, he couldn’t do any miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 And he was amazed at their unbelief.
Now, I am not saying that I am a prophet. But, I am saying that I have been given a message, a voice and eyes, ears and a willing heart to receive the ways God continues to reveal Himself.
One of the main things I received from the Lord while in CO recently was this- it was after much wrestling in prayer and little sleep that the Spirit spoke this revelation to me. He said, ” I am telling two parallel stories here. Both very wild and out of the ordinary. One very known and one not. At the appointed time I will cause the two parallel lines to meet”.
Up until today I have shared this revelation with only a couple of friends. After Sunday’s Broncos game, and the corresponding events I feel led to share it with all.
When I read the Article pasted below , I cried. (A dear friend posted it on Facebook today.)
Yeah, I knew about the John 3:16 reference but the rest of the data I had not read. Reading it just gave confirmation to what I have been walking in the last two long but amazing years! It has been a very lonely journey that has caused me to completely look to my Lord and Saviour and to Him alone for validation, confirmation, encouragement, strength and help. The words of this old hymn sum it up for me:
HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION – John Keith, 1787
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said—
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
“Fear not, I am with thee, oh, be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My gracious, omnipotent hand.
“When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee thy trouble to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
“When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not harm thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.
“The soul that on Jesus doth lean for repose,
I will not, I will not, desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.”
Two days ago the Lord gave me Isaiah 49 as confirmation. Here is just a part of one verse, vs 8
This is what the Lord says:
“At just the right time, I will respond to you.*
On the day of salvation I will help you.”
Prayer- ” oh beautiful and glorious Saviour, your salvation is perfect as you are perfect! I throw myself wholly on your mercy and grace! You are my light and life, my redeemer- my friend. Thank you for all the trials meant to remove my dross and refine my gold. May my life bring glory only to You and your cross. Amen”

You ever feel like there’s too much Tim Tebow news? Neither do I. Here’s a roundup of some of the most interesting Timbits from the aftermath of the Denver Broncos 29-23 overtime victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• The fact that Tebow had 316 yards passing and averaged 31.6 yards per pass in the game didn’t escape notice on Sunday night. Tebow wore “John 3:16” on his eye black in the 2009 BCS Championship game and has since become identified with the famous Bible message. The coincidental stats caused millions of fans to perform Google searches on the Bible passage in the past 24 hours. Here’s one more unbelievable stat: John Ourand of Sports Business Journal reports that the final quarter-hour television rating for the Broncos-Steelers game was, you guessed it, 31.6.
(John 3:16 reads: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”)
• Will Brinson of CBSSports.com has some more fun with Tebow numbers.
