Dear Friend, How are you? Hope you had or are having a good day, today? Since I took a Lana Vawser’s course, The Prophetic Voice of God, and took time to talk to and listen to the Father, I often heard Him teach me: Don’t try to compare you with others. One night He woke me up after 3am or another night before 2am. And I thought of a Walter Beuttler’s book, The Manifest Presence of God, and his writing that the Lord woke him up almost at 2:30am. When I thought of that, He said, “Don’t try to compare you with him.” And I also asked Him why He would wake me up in the middle of the night, and He said, “I’m with you 24/7, and your ears are open for 24 hours. But for your sake, I wake you up at this hour. For you not to be distracted.” After this, when I got back to sleep, He actually gave me a dream where I could ask Him and hear His answer in the dream. It was as though He repeated me that my ears are open to Him for 24/7. Another night, He said, “Don’t try to compare you with Lana. The way I would speak to you would be different from that to her. I speak to each and every child of Mine in a different way. To you, I speak the way that you would understand.” He kept saying to me He is a personal God and we shouldn’t box Him in. Sister Margaret would say during her class that her late husband, Pastor Fred was an owl type. He is the most alert at night hours so that he would stay up till 2am or so, while Sister Margaret got to bed early and got up early in the morning for fellowship with Him. And she said that we shouldn’t judge others for being different from us. Pastor John Fenn said that for some people, the best place to meet the Lord would be while driving, and for others while gardening. Lana Vawser said her best time with the Lord is with coffee, as a coffee lover. (I would like that! For now, I limit my drinking coffee. Yet she reminded me of my time when I read books or write prior to the pandemic in my favorite cafe.) Friend, I would like to encourage you to find your own place to commune with Him or even ask Him where He wants to meet you. Not only on the place where I would meet Him, He also taught me on how to interpret the numbers He would repeatedly show me. I understand He speaks to us through numbers and the numbers in the Bible have all meaning. This year, I would repeatedly see 10:10 and 7:44. I used to look up a James Goll’s book, Dream Language and sometimes watched Troy Brewer’s video on numbers in YouTube. Yet I didn’t really get what these 10:10 and 7:44 would mean to me. Then, one day, when I looked up a Derek Prince book, “Entering the Presence of God,” I had an Aha moment. I came to see the picture of the tabernacle that shows Outer Court, Holy Place and Holy of Holies with its measure. Then, around Holy of Holies, it showed 10 cubit x 10 cubit of measures. My eyes were wide-open, and I was stunned to understand what 10:10 exactly means to me. He was inviting me to Holy of Holies in this season. For 7:44, I got to look up Luke 7:44, “Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head.” It reminded me of a Watchman Nee’s book, Normal Christian Life and the last chapter on this woman’s anointing Jesus, our Lord. And He taught me that the numbers He would show me are not always what others say. It can be different Scriptures or it can be different meaning to me such as 10 cubit x 10 cubit of Holy of Holies. So, I must always ask Him what He is trying to say. On February 2nd, I had a dream where I saw Julie Andrews, the actress of the movie, Sound of Music. It is one of my favorite movies as a child. At that time, my focus was on the seven children. Then, last winter, I watched that movie again together with mom at home. It has been ages since I watched it last time. Then, at the first scene when Maria (Julie Andrews) sang a song in a green field, losing herself in the nature, I thought to myself, “She is like me! I never realized that.” I would even think that if she would test MBTI, her character type would be the same as mine. We both like nature, music, children and God! Then, in the dream, as observer, I was watching Julie Andrews praying for others, kneeling down on the floor. I wouldn’t share details from the dream, but when I awoke, I got to understand He was speaking to me, using the character Maria in Sound of Music, to answer my prayer and show something in the future. I felt Him fun. He has a sense of humor, and He knows in what way I would understand Him speaking to me. And many times, He would teach me through the books I read, including Bible and the classes/teachings I would attend or listen to. It is not what He would do to some people, showing Himself in person, or saying, “Thus says the Lord,” On January 19th, He said to me in my midnight prayer, “I have something to teach you during Margaret’s class later today. You can grab a lunch, before class starts.” The reason being He said, “Grab your lunch,” was that I usually cook lunch in the middle of her class. The first half hour I would sit down in front of my iPad, but for the last half hour, I would cook lunch, and I wouldn’t be focused on the class. Obedient, I went out to grab sushi rolls for mom and myself, before the class started at 10am my time. Then, to my surprise, I received two emoticons from Sister Margaret just before the class. There was no word, but a cutie bear emoticon with a heart and a logo, “Praise the Lord.” That was all. And they were actually sent the other night, but somehow the notification was received only a few minutes before the class started! I felt He was emphasizing “Pay attention to her class!” I was very attentive to know what’s the message He wants me to hear. Then, I heard her share a testimony and some words that were not really relevant to the class subject that day. She literally said, “I don’t know why the Lord gave me these words to share now.” Yet I said to myself, “That’s it!” And I watched the time, and it was 11:01am. Had He not told me that, I would have started cooking already, washing and chopping stuffs, and missed the lesson. He knows everything, and He also sees whether I would obey, in addition to teaching me through her class. Friend, I’d like to encourage us to understand He is a personal God, and His ways are creative. We shouldn’t box Him in. He made us in His unique way and you and I were wonderfully and fearfully made. We are tailor-made. Expect His personal way to you. Find your own place to commune with Him. Have a bliss!
