"Man was perfect yet became imperfect; he was the son of God yet became the son of Man; he lived in virtue yet died in sin. However, God bestowed mercy and forgave Man; God extended grace and empowered Man. God provided the Man with the authorized authentic ability to be reborn. God granted the Man the opportunity to walk before Him once again to be perfect, as God is perfect. This Man of God leads and loves in the way of the Lord, that his family may live and be an example for mankind towards God’s divine order. Man of God, where is the order?" Matthew 5:43-48 (NKJV

AN EAR TO HEAR
Many years ago, God approached me to go on an assignment that placed me in a position classified as being betrothed. The first time hearing the word "betrothed" was during my reading of the scriptures between Joseph and Mary, the earthly parents of Jesus Christ. Luke 1:26-30 (ESV): "In the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. And he came to her and said, "Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!" But she was greatly troubled at the saying and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. And the angel told her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God." The Revivalist: A couple of years before the assignment, while attending a church revival, God whispered to me, "Behold, there is your husband." When I looked up, my eyes immediately connected with the Revivalist, who was preaching. My frame of mind at the time was not spiritual but in the flesh. I said to myself, "What! No preacher could handle a woman like me; plus, I am still smoking!" The voice whispered again, but it seemed more emphatic, "Behold, there is your husband!" At that moment, it appeared that the preacher's eyes connected with me more than twice during the sermon, which I completely ignored. This type of gesture surprised me because I was sitting way, way back in the pews. I looked around, and it seemed no one heard anything or noticed the Revivalist staring at me. Then, I thought, "I must be tripping on the residual effects from the night before." Therefore, I shook it off and ignored any further implications, but God did not give up on me. |
After service, I spoke with a few people and went downstairs to my car, but I needed to connect with one more person before leaving. Wouldn't you know it, the Revivalist and some other men were standing around, and as soon as he saw me, he ran up towards me! Unfortunately, I was in my "what do you want from me!" mood because of the previous implications. So, I just smiled and kept it moving. This man seemed to be waiting for me to say something to him, but all I could say was, "Great sermon." What was he expecting me to say, "Hey, I heard God say that you were my husband!" That was not going to happen. I would not put myself on blast as some crazy woman stalking the Revivalist. I already had my hands full with the person I was supposed to be dating then. Yes, there was someone else in the picture, and I still received a notice from God to marry someone, not the man I was dating. Go figure. After gesturing to the Revivalist and saying that I enjoyed his sermon, I forgot about the person I was supposed to contact and ran out of there as though someone was on my heels chasing me – and no one was even behind me. As I stated, I must be tripping.
Slithering Situation
Six months later, I had surgery, so my friend thought it feasible for me to move in with him to take care of me and save money. I was a desperate woman then and thought having a man around, especially to care for me, was to my advantage. However, what I wanted and what he wanted contradicted my goals, and he was not financially accountable. I was this man's sugar momma. However, his Momma could not stand me and sought to destroy me whenever possible in the church.
Everything seemed wrong with the person I was dating, even a threatening encounter with his snake. One evening, I had to take some heavy medication and was aroused when my pillow kept moving around. When my eyes opened, I saw my friend sitting in the chair across from me, just staring. I asked if everything was all right, and he said that Oscar, his snake, was in my pillowcase. I counted it all to be God when I held on to the pillow where the snake mysteriously resided and said to Oscar, "Keep still buddy; I'm trying to sleep!" I must have fallen back asleep. Hours later, when I woke, I was in a better state of mind from the medication, and the guy was still sitting in the chair. So, I asked, "Where's Oscar?" He said he crawled under the dresser, as he pointed, so I fell back to sleep. Do you know this guy got rid of the snake a couple of days later and suggested we move to another location? I guess this consideration was based on my action towards the snake he allowed, or should I say, he may have placed it in my pillow. So, we packed up, loaded the truck, and headed towards the new location. However, God had a different plan.
Once I arranged the new carpet he chose to be installed, paid two months' rent, and moved all his belongings into the apartment, God said, "Say goodbye, Priscilla!" I didn't even have a chance to move my things in. I was shocked! I could not believe God was making this commandment as I stood on the balcony gazing at the view. I turned to this man and said, "Here are the keys. God is leading me elsewhere." He was shocked and tried to convince me to stay, but God was evident. I essentially handed over the keys to an apartment I had arranged and paid for someone who had just threatened me, with his snake, to live in. Now, I am sitting in my car with nowhere to go and no roof over my head.
Note: Some may think this woman's stories are filled with fiction, but it is not! Her journey is filled with life experiences with man and spiritual experiences with God!
