¡Naguara!- an expression of Venezuela

Dear Hermanos, I want to share what happened in the past two days I am positive I heard the voice of God through the friends I have here speak directly to me. It was incredible! Check this out- This experience brought me to the brink of tears (not something that has happened in a long time) I was in the car with the pastors of Colon- William and his wife Eva and their 6 yr old son Hepciel. I asked them about prayer and its power and why they prayed so much- Pastor William gets up every day at 5am and prays and then more often then not there is a few days where he starts praying with people from the church in the afternoon and they continue into early morning- he prays a lot and so does his wife. I couldn´t believe what was shared with me. And completely in another language, perhaps that helped (?) They started their church 6 yrs ago and no one came- so they began praying on saturdays and for 3 yrs it was just their family on Sundays. But they kept praying. Its power is something they do not doubt at all even through those times. When they pray they have realized things change, move and the Espiritu Santo comes with power. The pastor asked me when I had an experience of the Spirit moving- so I shared about the time when I couldn´t sleep for weeks and then one night Katie asked me if I had prayed about it, I said no, I dont know what to say and then we prayed and an unexplainable peace came over me and I have been sleeping so much better since. To this the pastor responded that was the Holy Spirit and what you need now is to pray alone and grow on your own, poco y poco, little by little you will grow and words will come to your lips in prayer to God. (Hmm.. sounds a lot like what someone had challenged me in, growing on my own just me and God). But thats not all, get this, Then the pastor began to ask about when I was sanctified (John Welsey and Martin Luther stuff) I responded that I believe it is a process that little by little I have experienced peace, love, patience, humility that I don´t know where it came from. He said, Yes! thats the fruit of the spirit. He and his wife began to say/ share what they had noticed about me in my time with them. That I was very humble, sincere, and a special person that God is definitely watching with interest and going to use/ using me now. That´s when my eyes welled up and I had a hard time looking into the eyes of the pastor. How could he know this? How could he know the biggest struggle I have and speak right to it? I struggle believing that I can be used by God and that I am something special to Him... I don´t know how to explain it, but in those moments, with people I hardly knew, in another language, I heard God speaking to me. I never want to forget that!
