I know this is a very long story (series of correlating stories) but it is much worth reading, I promise. This story is that of a very meaningful experience that caused a very big impact in my life. All my life I was in church and knew about Jesus and His love, however, I found myself feeling as if I did not know Jesus. I felt as if all the times I though I was close to God I was truly just making Him a hobby in my life rather than actually viewing Him as my heavenly father that always wants to be talking to me and always wants to maintain a true communicative relationship. I went to a church that was holding classes for ministry school and I sat in for a prophesy class. during the class I was the subject of what they called "fire prophesy" which is where people put there hands on me and speak whatever comes to mind, whatever they see, feel, or feel that they are hearing from the Lord. Due to the fact that without God wanting to move through someone they are unable to force Him, some of what was said was not prophesy. They even stated before they started that some words may not be that of divine nature at all and may just be ones opinion. During this "fire prophesy" some words were spoken to me and I just had to laugh in my head to myself thinking, "wow! this person must be nuts" and to some, "wow they are dead on...is God really telling them this?"....A man named Joe spoke of insecurities and how God wants me to know that He is taking care of it, which really spoke to me. Another man named Clyde began to speak and he exerted, "I feel as if you are very intelligent and throughout all of your experiences you have gained a lot of knowledge, however, you have all of this head knowledge and no heart knowledge.... you need a heart experience, an experience that will provide knowledge for your heart." At the time this did NOT speak to me whatsoever. I though, "heart knowledge, hahahahh, is this guy crazy? what is heart knowledge" but then I told myself, "well they did say that some of this would be random thoughts and not divine by nature whatsoever"..... Little did I know this was the "real prophesy"...about four months after this sit in at the ministry school I found myself feeling very distant from God. I would go to church and just not feel it. I would get prayer and just not feel healed. Eventually I laughed and looked up to God and said, "okay, I know I thought Clyde was trippin, but if there is really some 'heart experience' I need to get closer to you, give it to me." So I started praying for this "heart experience" for quite a while. months on end actually. So I begin to come closer to God just still in my haze and still needing divine intervention. I was working and going to school full time and beginning to feel the stress of life on a massive level...This is when my life was about to change forever. One of my very best friends ever for 11 years, Snickers my dog, began getting sick. He would just vomit often. At first I would pray, "God, please heal my baby, you see how sick he is, you see that he is not feeling well and this is also hurting me... I will take him to the vet if I have to but I just dont understand why you would want me to have to 'pay' to get him better when you can heal him for free.. I just don't get it..Do you want me to financially struggle even harder than I am?"..So I bring snickers to the vet and they said they would charge us $20 to look at him and give us medicine and $120 for blood work and x-rays. My mother only authorized the $20 with her card.. I told her if she charged the $120 I would pay her back in 2 weeks but she refused saying that we should just go with the medicine first and see if it works, no use in wasting the money if we don't have to. At first it seemed as if the meds were working and by the end of the treatment Snickers seemed to be doing well. After a week he puked again, just once, one day. A couple days later he puked a couple more times, and his sickness seemed to be progress
