My encounter with The Lord: God told me to know whose I am, and whom I am!

Last night I simply could not sleep! I began going off in tongues and speaking with The Lord! As I began speaking to Him, He brought back to me an open vision (trance) I had with him when I was eight-years old!

In this trance i saw “the world turned up side down!” I said to myself, why am I thinking about this? It happened so long ago, and I have often told my siblings and others about this vision; especially my own family! Well, as I began speaking in tongues and praying, all of a sudden, one of my hands went up in the air and God took both of my hands and laid them over my eyes and rubbed both of my temples, as I kept praying! Then, after praying, He tells me to read a passage about trances and open visions and I recognized that this is a very special way that God speaks to His people; although, I haven’t heard anyone lately having, or falling into trances, in a while!

Well, The Lord began showing me a passage in the scripture about the following: ”But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too”” (Acts 17:6) “But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds. ¹⁴ Then immediately the brethren sent Paul away, to go to the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there. ¹⁵ So those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed” (Acts 17:13-15). You see Paul and the others who had preached the gospel of the Kingdom of God were known as those who had “turned the world upside down.” What God’s servants were really doing, was putting the world right. What happened in Thessalonica was typical of how they split a city into believers and non-believers, a nightmare for the “politicians.” This is why God had shown me this vision years ago (between 7-8 years old) to confirm that: “I called you as an Apostle years ago, and the revelation I had for you, is now!”

God spoke this to me, because He knew that this day would come, that there would be people who would not believe, just as they did not believe Apostle Paul and others, who where called to preach the gospel of God “turning the world upside down,” with what God was telling and showing them in that season!

So, this is why God leaves many visions and revelations open like he did Junia (Apostle) to confirm “whose you are and whom you are,” because He knows that this conviction for a woman (man) to walk in an apostolic calling, will have to come from within each individual’s heart, just as it did the (former/latter apostles), Mine, last night! Why? Because it will be some that will come to say: God did not call a woman (man) to be an Apostle to preach! I was raised in a Pentecostal church where this was prohibited, and so you know God had to do a work in my life! “But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar (just as some us do when things don’t go our way), and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people. And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, these that have” turned the world upside down” are come hither also; whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus. And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things” Acts 17:5-8.

When God spoke this revelation to me: if i had any doubts they are surely gone now! I never wondered if a woman (man) could be an Apostle! Why? Because if God tells me something right off the bat, I just believe him! But, last night, God confirmed to me. Why? He did not say in the scriptures if Junia (Romans 16:7) was a man or a woman apostle! He said because this revelation was for the end-time Apostles and the conviction of an Apostle will need to be (confirmed) within the heart of the sent one, and has to be an encounter that one has with God! Which God had already given me (Apostle Paul/other apostles), but God said, “This encounter is not for you, but for those who do not believe you are called!” I felt like Moses at the burning bush, who had to convince others that he was sent by God! (Exodus 3:14).

Well, God did not stop there to confirm my apostleship! This morning on my way to the rest room, I was tired from staying up speaking with God! Well, my daughter Ebony texted me over and over. I said to myself, who is this blowing up my phone? I go over to the phone and she had sent text after text, saying to me that some “pimp apostle” told her there is no such thing as a woman apostle and they are out of order! I told her, “Thank you for the message!” Why? Because, as I said earlier, in this encounter God had me to lay hands over my eyes and to rub the temple of my forehead! God intercepted the message that my daughter brought to me, and gave me peace, that the message she was bringing was not from him, but was indeed a message from the enemy!

Praise God! I tell you this was the most beautiful encounter I have ever had with God in my life!

I told her, “Thank you for the message,” and said to her, “This will be what God has for His people today, because I just want to encourage those that are called to be an Apostle in Christ I know why apostle Paul said his apostleship lies within Christ, because only God can confirm it, and not man! No ordination paper will ever confirm a call like this. It will take God himself knocking you off your beast to see this and will have to anoint your eyes, just as he did mine, in this season! I am a living testimony!” (Galatians 1: 1-16).

I had to share!
