I awoke on the 15th of February, 2012 aglow with excitement. I had just experienced the most amazing night of my 52 years on earth. Even more incredible than getting married or the birth of my three amazing children!
After-all. How often do we get to sit on the lap of God?! I had been transported to the lap of my Heavenly Father! I was in prayer and very much awake. This was not a dream but an intense time of prayer. I was aware that I was sitting on my Daddy’s lap, bringing my requests to Him- praying for all the brokenness in my family. I was also very aware that Jesus was right next to me. I was actually leaning against Him! Like the Apostle John used to do as they reclined at the dinner table.
Needless to say It was truly an amazing time! Every request I brought before my Father was received and accepted. Every part of my being was in unison with each request. There was no iota of doubt as I prayed for each and every family member. When I realized I was in the presence of God, I knew I must maximize my time. I even grabbed my cell phone and went through my contact list, making sure that I did not miss anyone. After I exhausted my prayers for everyone, my Father ever so loving and tenderly said, ” what about you my son, bring your personal requests to me too!” So, I began, and just as before, everything was received and accepted! Until I got to my last request. In my last request, I brought up His promise of me working with Tim Tebow. And immediately I felt a sense of doubt present. I quickly responded to this check in my spirit with a question. I said, “but Father, you said I would be working with Tim- you promised! ” He responded with, “let it go!”. And without a thought I said, ” ok, I trust you Father”.
Then, it was like the floodgates opened and I began to praise Him and thank Him for all His love and mercy. His faithfulness and patience with me. Such a sweet time of fellowship like I’ve never known before! Then, I immediately knew that He wanted to know my heart. Like Abraham with Isaac, My Heavenly Father wanted to make sure that He held first place in my heart. That “the promise” had not become more important than “The Promisor!” Once He knew my heart, my last request was received like all the rest….. YES!
Then I wrote this at 2:58 am – I am truly FREE! HEALED, whole DELIVERED! BY THE POWER OF GOD In CHRIST JESUS WHO LOVED ME AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME! Words can’t begin to describe what has happened to me! I will spend the rest of my days trying, by Gods grace and mercy of course! :). Bathing in the pond of mercy and RUNNING IN THE STREAM OF GRACE- to SIT ON MY ABBAS LAP AND LAY MY HEAD ON MY SAVIOURS BREAST AND HERE THE SPIRIT SAY” this IS MY SON IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED. OR AS MACK WOULD ATTEST. ” THAT JONATHAN MICHAEL, I’m VERY FOND OF HIM”. Me TOO SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD ME TOO. OF YOU! AND PAPA, WILL YOU COOK UP A BIG OLD FAT FEAST FOR YOUR SON , WHO ONCE WAS LOST BUT NOW IS FOUND WAS BLIND BUT NOW HE SEES?! TO THE GLORY OF THE LAMB! Amen
Gods peace, Jonathan
