This is a personal Testimony and I hope it encourages someone. It does have a “Word” from The LORD, literally a four (4) Word single sentence.

The Setting : I’m driving my elderly mom (who I keep a very close eye on) to one of her favorite places to eat breakfast.

There’s a neighborhood coming up in about a mile that I always take a shortcut through; it’s a very nice neighborhood.

My mom (at least 75% of the time we go through there!) says the same type of thing. “I wish I had that house….” or, “I’d love to have a bigger house like that one!”

I had been kind of praying and talking to The King of Glory off and on all morning. So I was thinking: “LORD, is she going to bring up wanting a bigger house again?”

Then, as we had about a half mile to go to turn right into that neighborhood, I reflected on my previous life over all the years that have gone by so quickly.

From the first house I secured a loan for at age 20, and the other nice houses I and my family had lived in over the years. I thought about the appreciation I have for those times and places now, at a much greater gratitude level than I may have at those times!

Currently, I returned to Indiana to stay w/my mom who has a lot of medical challenges going on, I’m here for the duration and she needs me. That said, I haven’t had my “own house” (like I used to) for quite some time.

I know Jesus is coming back very soon, I discern the times, and I wasn’t whining but I did think about how it would be nice or remembering what it was like to be in my “own space or place.”

The next thought was, it may not happen before everything kicks into high end-time gear very shortly and the verse about “storing up your treasures in heaven” was on my mind.

Oh well, I thought, His will be done and I’m just glad to know Him (and that He knows me).

All of these things went through my mind in a very short period of time.

Then, as I’m literally turning into the neighborhood, The King of Glory (aka: Jesus, who can read our thoughts!) said suddenly and loud and clear to me by The Holy Spirit: “I AM your Habitation!”

As I heard it, I was washed for a second with the power of His voice and His love; I felt the Spirit of God all over me…

I was greatly encouraged and I smiled, and without speaking out loud (because mom didn’t know this personal moment was happening), I said “YES, thank you Jesus, YOU ARE!”

So, there it is.

While I’m tempted to start sharing more encouragement; I’ll pretty much end it here.

This “Word” is also for every single one of my brethren, who are His. Here’s the REALLY COOL thing before I go.

As has happened a number of times and about 10 seconds after all this occurred to, “Look at the time!” was placed on my heart loud and clear.

I glanced at the display while driving it was 9:01 AM.

I then heard clearly: “Don’t forget!” (and I knew He meant the word, and the time.)

I literally said it inside my head three or four times, “I AM your habitation! — 9:01 AM!”

Because of course I couldn’t write it down while driving, but I felt there was no way I was going to forget it.

A few hours later after that breakfast (and three errands) we returned to mom’s house. I wrote what happened quickly in my prayer journal.

I had to seek The LORD regarding the number, I looked the number up in Greek and Hebrew in the Strong’s Concordance —- but upon quick review, I just knew that the “901” was a Scripture clue this time.

I said or asked: “Okay, I can search it out until I find it and I know you’re going to lead me to it, but would you PLEASE just give it to me now?”

(He knew I had other things to do and was anxious to see whatever the confirmation was!) Then, through the inner-knowing download; boom it just happened.

The answer was: Psalm 90 verse 1, that was the 901!

I quickly grabbed my Bible and opened it up quickly to Psalm 90. I pasted it as the FIRST verse below for you to read as well (Remember what He said to me) and I prayerfully included a few other verses.

To all of His sheep (walking in the Spirit) those four words and these verses below, are also for you…

“Lord, You have been our dwelling place (habitation!) in all generations.” Psalm 90:1.

“But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” Romans 8:9.

“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Colossians 1:27.

“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20.

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.”” John 15:4-9.

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” John 10:27.

Blessings to all, watch and pray always, keep shining your light and love, and keep looking up!
