We pulled into the RV Park in Calhoun, Georgia two hours later than anticipated. The plan was to end our travels for the day around 5:00, leaving time to grab supper and shower before heading to bed. The heavy rains and traffic had delayed our journey. It had been a long day and quite frankly ministry was not on my radar.

But, there she was! A mother of 3 barely able to place one foot in front of the other and walk to the bathhouse. Her friendly children struck up a long conversation with me as they lovingly admired Xyro and awaited her return. I couldn’t help but ask what happened to their mother. They explained that she had taken a bad fall the day before. My heart ached to witness the pain she was in as she hobbled along.

It was at that moment, I heard the still small voice of the Holy Spirit say, “She doesn’t have to be in pain anymore. You’re here now!” I knew instantly what HE wanted me to do. HE had orchestrated our travels to this exact spot for the night so that I might invite HIS Presence into her situation. I didn’t know her and she didn’t know me...but I was sent to make a difference in her life.

I waited patiently for God’s timing. About an hour later, as I sat watching TV outside, her children showed up. They said their mother requested that I bring Xyro to see her, that she might admire and pet him as they had. I knew this was the opportunity I had been waiting for and I acted swiftly. She stroked Xyro’s long, soft coat and seemed to enjoy the few minutes she didn’t have to focus on the immense pain.

As she sat in the swing outside her humble cabin, I looked into her eyes and asked if she knew JESUS. I told her from the moment I saw her, I knew God wanted me to lay hands on her and pray. She willingly granted me permission.

Bending down, my hands connected with the skin and bone of her badly injured leg and the manifest Presence of God filled the porch. Her tears began to flow as I released a prayer of healing over her and reminded her that God SEES and LOVES her. My guided words then shifted toward the children. As I declared blessings over their lives, they stood in reverence and awe under the power of God’s tangible love. Afterwards, they repeatedly offered their gratitude and held onto me with heartfelt hugs. When I departed, they presented me with these two rocks commemorating our time together and asking that I might not soon forget them.

Making my way back to the RV, I paused in praise and perceived that our previous delay had afforded me the privilege of being RIGHT ON TIME. What an honor it is to serve YOU, Jesus.

On September 2nd, we returned home prematurely from a vacation @ Myrtle Beach. On the way down to the beach, we were rear-ended by a young man in a Mustang. The accident totaled his car, totaled another person’s vehicle and unfortunately damaged our RV. We were able to drive on to the beach and enjoy three days of beauty and rest before being mandatorily evacuated due to Hurricane Dorian. The week didn’t go as expected, but we could clearly see God’s hand of protection upon us as HE shielded us from both situations.
 
Upon returning home, I walked out the side door of our screened porch to check on my Koi in the pond. Immediately, I noticed a bright fluorescent yellow tent stake lying in our flower bed. Because we are empty-nesters, living privately on a 10-acre plot, with very few visitors, we racked our brains trying to figure out who the tent stake belonged to?
 
To this day (September 23) we are unaware of where it came from. I didn’t pick it up immediately. It laid there for a few days. But, with each passing day, I began to realize that this tent stake was a message and a sign from God! The Spirit quickly flashed Isaiah 54:2 before my eyes – “Enlarge the place of your tent. Stretch your tent curtains wide. Do not hold back! Lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes.”
 
To my surprise, I also learned that September 1-September 29 is known as the month of ELUL on the Hebrew calendar. Spiritually speaking, the month represents a wide-open field. The King of Glory sets up His royal tent in our field and offers us special access to meet Him face to face.  
 
Christine Vales writes: “If we are His children, we always have access to Him. But, just as there was an appointed time for Jesus to dwell on earth with us, so there is also an appointed time each year when He comes into our field and sets up His royal tent. He invites us into a special time of intimacy. All we have to do is walk out into our field and enter into His tent…as we are. As we walk with the King this month and pour out our hearts to Him, the Master Gardener will give us His wisdom. He will personally instruct us in our fields of influence, our field of dreams, and yes, even our battlefields.” Come My Beloved and let us go into the fields. - Song of Solomon 7:11.
 
God is reminding us that it is His will to enlarge our spiritual tent. Through promotion, He will expand our borders and increase our influence for His glory. However, THIS will require a strengthening of our stakes. For a tent, the stakes symbolize FOUNDATION. All month, I have been drawn into a time of deep surrender – prayer – and fasting. God is revealing the little foxes that come to spoil our connection of intimacy with the Father. He asks us to lay those things aside and repent by turning away from attitudes, mindsets, habits, and sins that have kept us from living our best life of holiness.
 
This month is a time to let God search your heart…A time to bow low in humility.
The King is in the field and advancement is at hand. Make thyself READY!
