On an unexpected layover in Jacksonville, Fl. I was 30 minutes shy of finishing up my standby time at DFW when my phone blurted out the special and quite annoying ring of Crew Scheduling. Sigh. “Flight attendant Weiss, we have a trip for you.” *&%@ growl. (I love Jesus but I cuss a little bit ;) I was so close. One foot out the door as it happens. After over 5 hours of sitting and then I receive a trip. Really…that means a bed wouldn’t come until about 3:00 am. I encouraged myself in the Lord (with a few grumbles) I guess it wasn’t a bad trip-one leg to Jacksonville and then one back the following evening. I didn’t even have to work the leg back. I could sit in a passenger seat and read my book. Still, it was my hubby’s birthday so I called Crew Scheduling. Can I get an earlier flight tomorrow. “No we aren’t releasing anyone right now.” Fine. Insert frowny face.
I decided to make the most of it. *My husband’s Grandfather, Glover, owned a radio shop many moons ago in downtown Jacksonville so I set off trying to find it. I found the old storefront of Glover’s shop and said a little prayer honoring them.
Directly across the street was a coffee shop. I popped in. A fully tatted girl took my order. (everything but her very pretty face was covered with tattoo flair) I’ll call her Amy (she looked JUST LIKE AMY WINEHOUSE 4 realz) I thought about asking her if I could do a tattoo interpretation.
What, you might ask, is a tattoo interpretation? It’s really easy. I ask the Holy Spirit to tell me the meaning behind their tattoos. I LOVE doing this and meeting people where they are. Most have an idea about the spiritual realm but they just haven’t met anyone who would tell them about the Holy Spirit and that God loves them. Those tattoos have spiritual meanings behind them and God wants to reveal His heart.
*So I thought about it but it was busy in the tiny little shop and that wasn’t ideal. *The music blared as I tried to shout my order…The singer crooned, “Don’t go down to the water’s edge. I didn’t do it but I saw who did. This ain’t no f-ing game…” Not really a good time to do a tattoo interpretation.
A friend of mine made some little pieces of prophetic artwork for an event. I had extras so I had stuffed them in the side pocket of my bag before my trip “just in case” I needed an emergency prophetic word ;) I took one of those out and asked God what He wanted to say. I wrote out what I felt He was saying and gave it to her. *Later she smiled and waived but didn’t come chat. I think I probably freaked her out. She was clearly not the church going type of girl (which I happen to love :) #missioncomplete
I was starving so I went to a cool restaurant inside a museum. It was yummy. I love food so I’ve included a picture of my blackened Mahi Mahi with fresh corn off the cob and flash fried collard greens :) OMG God was blessing my obedience HAHA but I digress (writing about this is making me hungry all over again) #melovesfood
My waitress just so happened to be named Faith (named by God). I pulled out another one of my emergency prophetic art words and left her the following word about perseverance. After I left, I felt like God shared something with me. Both of these women were or would soon be pregnant and they would be considering terminating their babies lives. I reread the pic of my card and saw that it said “THE HOPE INSIDE HER” This was her child. I pray she decides to keep her and names her Hope! (will you agree with me on that prayer?) I believe these words as simple as they were written on a piece of paper will IMPART the power to save both them and their unborn. BTW, I am the last person that should be sent with this message having two abortions myself. Why would He choose me? Because the bible says He chooses the weak things of this world to confound the wise. You know what the enemy stole from me too and I now know that and have been fully forgiven and made right with God through my Jesus’s precious blood that covers me. He sees my beauty and not my sin and I get to do that for others!
I asked for a confirmation that this was, in fact, about little babies. Was God sending a message through me and giving a voice to their unborn children? He brought back to memory that an Amber Alert went off while I was in the restaurant. Everyone's phones started emitting their emergency tone. There was a lost child in the Jacksonville area. Yes, these babies were sending out a distress signal. Help me! I was walking and I passed a street and it was named Laura. Not only was the name of the street Laura but it had these little pillars with the name Laura on them. JUST YESTERDAY, I was at a coffee shop and had written a word for the barista. I started the word in bold print MOTHER’S HEART. I gave it to her and she readily received it and introduced herself. She shared her name Laura meant victory :) So I looked at the little pillar on the INTERSECTING CORNER of BOTH the coffee shop and the restaurant was a sign from God that these women indeed had Mother’s Hearts but they felt alone and lost. I pray the words written to their heart strengthened them. Whether they decide to have the baby or not, God loves and cherishes them and will hear them any time they call.
Things to remember when following the Holy Spirit and being His post(wo)man delivering messages:
- I believe I had the authority to pray for these women in Jacksonville because the generations before me had walked the streets and paved the way for me to have an authority there that I might not normally have. I had an “eviction notice” for the enemy if he tried to stop me from delivering these words
* adjust and be respectful of others considering them. If I tried to do a tattoo interpretation and she was working it would not have gone well. Don’t have an agenda just flow like a river.
- you may not get a confirmation or response but trust that if you give an encouraging word then you’ve refreshed them with His love. That is the law of love DO NO HARM and you haven’t!
- If I get offended by cuss words, R&R music, tattoos of devils or appearances then I won’t do much good for God’s kingdom because He’s sending us to the lost ones. Jude 1:22-23 Go easy on those who hesitate in the faith. Go after those who take the wrong way. Be tender with sinners, but not soft on sin. The sin itself stinks to high heaven. Another version says “you can snatch burning sticks out of the fire” so that means you can go to hell and rescue those hurting. He gives us some bathroom spray and/or a gas mask so we can withstand some potty words ;)
I pray that you would give strength and boldness to everyone who reads this and desires to deliver a message only they can carry. #bebrave #Heissendingyou #nooneelsehasyourstory
