God Speak's today - Marriage

God speaks! Words and Dreams.

Recently I have been encouraged as I have seen something manifest before my eyes, something the Lord showed me.

Sometime in the first quarter of 2016 God showed me the following:

I was in church and helping with the lyrics. The musicians were in practice preparing for the service and I was standing up looking outward.  I could see this new guy sitting in the end chair, he was a part of the program run by the church to help with drug rehabilitation, and he was drawing in a book. On the stage were the musicians.

At this particular point as I was looking out, someone spoke something from the stage which happend to catch the attention of the Adam, and myself.  In my peripheral vision, as he looked up toward the stage, God highlighted Adam, to me, and one of the girls on stage, Rebecca. It was a very quick vision, and as they were highlighted to me I felt the word 'marriage'.

Marriage, God, are you saying these two will be married? I pondered on that for a while. I pondered on the situation.  Adam had only been here for a couple of weeks. When he looked to the stage, he wasn't looking any where in particular. The attention was not at all on Rebecca.  It was just something that God highlighted to me, it was a spiritual vision.

So, Adam and Rebecca will be married. I was pondering on that over and over, Adam and Rebecca, Adam and Rebecca. I was not 100% certain I had seen correctly but I stored it in my heart.  I thought, if the Lord wants to do that, He can.  I also reflected on another time, some years ago, where the Lord highlighted two people to me as they were walking in a line, and they ended up getting married. Therefore, what God had just highlighted to me, I didn't think was out of the question.

So I decided that I would watch them for a while.  To see if this relationship would start to develop. I was not sure what to say, if anything, to anyone, so I prayed, Lord, Your will be done in their lives.

Over the weeks, I could see them have small conversations together. They were only small and it came about because they were needing to liaise with each other as they both served at church. During some of these times, although the conversation was to do with their areas of serving, I could see at times just a glimmer on his face, something like he liked her, as he spoke to Rebecca. I thought, that is interesting! Although it was minimal and I am not sure if anyone would pick it up, I saw it.

One day Adam came to one of my classes. His demeanor had changed - it was very positive, one that seemed to breath vision and hope in his life. I felt that something had happened between him and Rebecca. This hasn't been confirmed, but I sense it to be so.

First dream:

I had a dream that we were all in church. Rebecca and Adam were both serving, and others two, but Rebecca was in a night dress. It was very innocent, nothing untoward, but I felt that it was too intimate for the occasion.  

At this stage, I still was not sure of their relationship, because nothing was being shown or talked about. So when I woke, I felt that it wasn't the right time for them as yet, especially as Adam had not yet finished the program. By the stage he had recently gone into Stage 3.  My reaction was to pray for the Lord to help them and if anything was happening that was causing intimacy too early, that the Lord would move on their behalf.

Life went on and I could see them talking together more and just hanging around in a general area together.  Then all of a sudden things changed. I could see Rebecca was burdened. I was not sure what was going on.

The Lord had given me a couple of words for Rebecca and as I shared them to her, in my heart I knew that this also involved Adam, although I did not feel I could mention that to her.  One day Adam's dad ministered at my church and he called Rebecca out and he put her head on his shoulder as he prayed for her. He was encouraging her that the Lord was doing things on her behalf and not to be in a hurry, and as he was praying this I was thinking 'he is praying for his daughter in law, that is his daughter in law'.  

Again, I kept all these things in my heart.

Second dream:

I saw Rebecca in a dream and she seemed to be working, and she was talking to a male. Adam came up close behind her and stood along side her. He was staying very close to Rebecca. As Rebecca moved, Adam moved too, so as to remain close to her - like, I am here!  Next they were by a car, Adam was sitting in the passenger seat. The passenger door was open, and Rebecca was on the other side of the door; she had a cloth in her hand. As they were talking, Adam seated, and Rebecca leaning through the open window of the open door, they were laughing and talking and I thought, they get along so well. I was enjoying watching them talk and laugh together and just thinking, they get on so well.  As they were talking Rebecca was using the cloth to dust off around the trim of the car, just sorting the final touches.

When I woke, I thought, this is about their life, and that where they are now, it is close for them to get together.  That Adam was in the final parts of the program and Rebecca was helping with the final dusting off of things, possibly in prayer?  I also said to myself "this is close"! The reveling of it all is close!

Again, I prayed and thanked the Lord for His will to be done. I was surprised that I was seeing all of this and still, was I to do something more with it, along side prayer?

One day, I went to the Rehab to do my weekly teaching and I sat down with the director. I felt to tell her as both Adam and Rebecca were a part of the program in some form.  As I started, I said that I felt God has shown me that two people will marry.  She said is it 'Adam and Rebecca' and I said yes. The Director asked me to go on with what God had shown.

I explained the vision when I first was shown, then dream 1 and dream 2.

The Director then went on to explain the situation that had to do with the fist two stages of what God had shown me.  Initially the Lord had shown Rebecca quite early that she would marry Adam, and the vision was confirmation. With my first dream she said that they had to encourage them to cool their relationship as they wanted Adam to finish the program.  (Hence, why Rebecca was downcast for a while). The 2nd dream, in the car wasn't explained then as I understand now, we hadn't got to it.

So I can see that the Lord was showing me, like a movie, the steps along the way.  That is also what the Director felt.

With the final dream, they were in the car, the finishing touches were being made, and they were really connected.

So, 

In March this year I went to Perth and just after I left I receive a message from Rebecca wishing me well and saying goodbye, she is moving to Sydney. I had recently seen Adam in Sydney helping his Dad and I still was not sure what was happening. When I got back I understood.

Adam had left the program for Sydney and to be in ministry with his Dad, and Rebecca had left for Sydney as she felt the call to go there as well and be with Adam.  They went there separately, but some short time later I see a video with them both together, family around, and Adam gets on his knee and asks Rebecca to marry him. I was so happy for them both.

The Lord has done great things, again, always, forever!

As I thought on this all, the outworking of this was such a blessing to watch, and to see what the Lord will do, and I was encouraged that I was led to pray for His plan into this situation that I felt the Lord showing me, although I didn't see anything taking place in the natural.

It has also encouraged me with the prophetic and to understand how God speaks, and how he speaks to me. It has taken me a while to understand this, but this particular event has encouraged me so much.  It is about trusting that God speaks to me and that I hear Him, that I see Him, that I feel Him. 

I am hoping that it also encourages someone else. That God fulfills His plans. That He has plans for people's lives and He will orchestrate things to come to pass. I since told Rebecca that the Lord showed me they would be married and the dream I had regarding the car and the dusting.  Rebecca was encouraged and said that it was totally like that.

I asked her about the progress of their relationship, how dd it progress, and one key was that her heart was open and she and Adam had times where they spoke to each other about the plans that they felt God had for them.  As they spoke to each other they could see that they seemed to be on the same page.  Adam would leave little notes of encouragement for Rebecca and Rebecca would pray for Adam and his walk in the program.

God is good. We can not put Him in a box.  He definitely has plans for people. He definitely identifies people to come together for marriage, He prepares people's hearts.  It had been a desire for Rebecca to be married and God is a God who fulfills the desires of the heart. So do not be afraid to have Godly dreams and desires because He hears them, He sees them, He knows them.

Be blessed.
