A Word from the Lord.....Featuring Tracy Teppler

I love how God uses people and I love it and am humbled by when the Lord sometimes uses me in some small way.  I love when someone is desperate for a touch, a word, from God and... they get it.  I love when one is in church and you see how people have been touched by God.
I WANT THAT TOO..

I WANT THAT... for me too.  My husband and I have been going through a very hard thing and its culminating in a court case on the 7th of February, but I have been fearful and alternating between begging the Lord to intervene before then, or begging Him to make it go away!  We have been trying to do all the right things, like reading God's word, trusting Him, speaking His word over the situation... But it is TOUGH to have faith in the face of the enemy's attempts at destruction when you have been standing for so long.

And then.... WOW!

The morning after a 5 1/2 hour meeting with our lawyers to prepare for the court case, the morning after being emotionally drained and emptied, I go on facebook.  You know, check out what everyone is saying, looking for positive thoughts, great scriptures and someone else on facebook, a continent away starts chatting with me and 5 minutes in she says the following:
What I hear is God saying, "Pray for her to have bubbling laughter at the very mention of this situation, that the joy would pour from her." And what I see is it is like a weapon, and every time Satan tries to goad you with this, you bubble with joy and laughter, and he is so enraged by your reaction, he leaves. And I feel like the Lord says this is YOUR personal weapon that He has fashioned just for you. Have you asked for joy in the presence of your enemies or something?
and then...
 I keep seeing you in a room sitting at a wooden table. It looks like what i think a courtroom would look like. Big ceiling fans hanging down.  And instead of being anxious, you almost cannot contain yourself. You are filled to overflowing with joy and laughter.
WOW, goose bumps, chills, tears!  This is a woman I have never met, this is a woman who knows nothing about this other than the previous day was tough for me in this meeting.

LAUGHTER, JOY, OVERFLOWING...

I can never again say, "I want a word from the Lord"  because I have now had an awesome word from the Lord.  I can hang on to it for dear life with much laughter, and much joy bubbling forth from the Lord, from inside my heart.

Don't give up waiting and longing and desiring a word from the Lord.  Seek Him and He will be found.
Jer 29 v 13:  And you shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart.  

 Enjoy God bless
Tracy

    Oh, Tracey, that is such a goose bumps story! Can't wait to here more on the story. But God is always the biggest BUT of all...and also the best intervention comes from the most unexpected places. So glad that this sweet friend reminded you just so with the But God just right for you...

    But God has revealed those things to us by his Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:10 For the Spirit searches everything, even the deep things of God.Oh I am inspired to write about that now!
    HUGS!

    Tracey, from what I've read so far, you DO have a word from the Lord--His Word.........as He's been speaking to you about not caring at all WHEN we read it, but THAT we read it.

    And, He's given you the blessing of speaking through someone half way around the world just to let you know He sees you.
    Oh, He's a great big God.

    Thanks for sharing this story.

    Saw you were guest posting over here and had to come read it! I'm glad I did. You know, I really think that prayer online is not really taken seriously a lot of the time. But, just as this situation, God can move through the internet to place a sentence or two at just the right time for just the right person. Praise God for His no boundaries pursuit. :)

    I have found more support through my challenges in this beautiful community than I have on this side of the computer - the prayers have sustained me, encouraged me - and understood, teaching me more how to live grace and hope - and unconditional love. Beautiful testimony of how He reaches us:)

    (so excited about the results, too :)

    Hi Tracy, I so desire to hear Him speak. He has been so good to me. He does speak and we must encourage others to know He has given us spiritual ears to hear. But also are natural ones. May everything work out quickly!
    Blessings, Roxy

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago  (4/8/12) on  "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts.  **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes.....  As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh...

Getting My Hinds Feet

Several months ago I received a word from my daddy God telling me He was giving me hinds feet! I became so excited and thrilled not realizing what I was to go through to receive these promised hinds feet. In my mind, I saw it happening all at once.... No more would I struggle to get to the places I was called to go.... I would go leaping and bounding across all the boulders in my path.... There would no longer be traps and snares in my path.... I was climbing my mountain with my new hinds feet!!! But wait....... I now face more trials..... Heavier loads..... More stress..... More obstacles..... Loneliness that is unexplainable..... I look down and I do not see "hinds feet". I see crippled, hurting feet. ~sigh~ I do not understand.... I can't comprehend this journey.... I was promised hinds feet and I now appear to be stumbling my way over these now larger boulders in my path. I want my promised "hinds feet".........

Sifting Before the Shifting

I have been hearing the Lord say " shift" for the last year.  Shift in the atmosphere, shift in our nation, shift in the church, and a shift in me.  When I think about the word shift, I see a grand swope of the hand of God moving all into a direction of peace and wholeness.I believe without a doubt He is doing so, however I never once entertained the though He'd have to do some sifting.... sifting in me. Sifting is a process, a two part process, when sifting wheat. First comes the threshing, the beating of the grain using a flail. Second part is the winnowing, throwing the mixture in the air allowing the wind to blow away the lighter chaffs and the heavier grains to fall back down for recovery.  I take a closer look at this process and begin to meditate on how it applies to my life. The threshing  is the process of removal; removing those things which will cause me to stumble.When God begins to remove, He does so with the in...
