PART TWO OF MY KAIROS MOMENT

As I continue to write, of how God showed up, stepped in and showed off, when all I was doing was walking with Jesus day by day. I will continue where I left off, when Satan tried to tempt me to take control.

On that Sunday, July 2, 2017, I called Patty and said: I do want your car and I am selling mine. So we made plans to go get it. I checked with what I thought was a reliable source to see what % they used to figure the taxes, knowing what the tags would cost, I said God I don't have the money.  Did not know what I was going to do, but went to get my car. Patty said that she and her husband wanted to let me have the money for the taxes. Well Praise God! Thank you Jesus! Now this was not a gift because it was added onto the debt I owed, nevertheless I was more than happy. Only one problem, we had the wrong % and when I called Friday morning I found that even by adding the money I had I was still $25.00 short. I did the math over and over again and didn't' know what I would do, by now I am driving to the courthouse and telling God I have no choice Lord I must lie to Caesar about the cost of the car,  then I would say: God I can't lie when You are truth. Then  in my mind the scripture where Jesus told the disciples to reach into the fish's mouth and they pulled out a coin, and He said: give unto Caesar what is Caesar's. (Now I know that wasn't an exact quote because I still haven't looked it up) as soon as I remembered that I heard "Do you trust Me?" By now I am almost at the courthouse, and I say: God You are in this, I will not lie, because I knew if I lied, that was me taking control and would totally mess up what God was doing. So here I go thinking well I will have write a bad check. I get there and could do nothing because her husband had not signed the title. I go to clean my Friday  house, and found they had written my check for $25.00 extra. So they just became the fish I pulled the coin out of.

So here is what I have learned in my Kairos encounter:

1. It will come suddenly and unexpected

2. It will come with undeniable confirmation

3. Others will think REALLY! Are you SURE? Because it will not look like a God thing to them

4. Your own doubts and fears will arise. (What if I am wrong)

5. I must make a decision; do I walk by faith or by sight, do I listen to others opinions, do I recognize my own fears are not based on God's word but my own reasoning. (My decision will determine what happens)

6. Satan now stepped in and attempted to shift the direction God was taking me by offering a counterfeit way that would cause me to take control of what God is doing.

I experienced each one of these in the past couple of weeks. Being able to see and recognize this is my moment when God said "Look what I am doing, and trust no one but Me!" Came from growing where God planted me, seeking God daily, sitting under sound teaching, staying in the word and in prayer. This has taken years not days or weeks. It is persevering in the good times and the bad times. It is allowing the Holy Spirit to impart into my inner man the truth of God's word. Do I still mess up, you bet I do, yet each day I decide do I walk in victory and stay in Jesus?

We have heard the term "impartation of God's word" some may call it an epiphany or a light bulb moment; this is when we read or hear the spoken word and suddenly shout "I GET IT"! What I have experienced with an impartation is when the word that was heard or read is placed so deep in my inner man that when I need it, the moment I need it, the Holy Spirit will bring it back to my memory, example: recently I heard someone say "conceived in the spirit" and immediately it took me back to a message my pastor gave 3 years ago, the whole message, NO, just the part that I needed to remember. It is the impartation that will bring about transformation. 

2 Corinthians 4:7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.

John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Oh and my car, my daughter is buying it for her daughter, my sweet granddaughter. Now whether God was doing this strictly for my blessing and using this to bless them I don't know. An truthfully it is unimportant because God will never harm me to bless someone else, so I see this as simple as God has blessed both me and my family, they had a need and He met their need. I hope my story has been an encouragement for you, and has helped you on your personal journey with Jesus.
