My late husband used to pray in tongues for hours. He would do it while waiting for the bus, while travelling and any moment that he was free. He was not a great reader and even complained when I used to read, but his life changed completely and he developed a hunger for any book that taught him about God. He devoured hundreds.
The other gift he received was prophecy and I will occasionally share these so that you can see how our God wants to talk to us and tell us how much he loves us; how we can be closer to him and how not to lose our connection with him.
He also used to be able to smell flowers around him and beautiful scents that he had never smelt before. God has many wonderful gifts he wants to give us, we just need to open ourselves up to being closer to him, spending as much time as we can with him and focusing on him alone.
He wasn’t at all afraid of death and that comforts me as I wasn’t there with him at the end. It happened so suddenly and unexpectedly that I was driving to the hospital when it happened. Many people are afraid and it can rule your life. He had to confront the possibility of death at a very early age for the first time and that seemed to take all the fear about it away from him.
Here is one of the prophecies he received about having full trust in God:
My children, deep within you is the basis of salvation, the very essence of the Creator, the Father of all. You have been endowed with inner desire to create and perfect a will as pure and blessed as that of the Father.
Aided by My compassion and tender guidance it is expected of you as children of God to work out your salvation, to bring what is hidden deep inside to the surface, to expose the Will of God from within. A will firm in righteousness, a will resolute in faith, a will proclaiming the complete and perfect redemption of Christ Jesus.
So expose the Father’s Will in your lives, let your will be perfectly aligned with His, a will free from all human defilement, free from all pride and obstinacy, free from sin. A life radiant, united with Christ, hidden in the Glory of the Creator of all, the Father Almighty. A life focused and centred on Christ, for he who abides with Christ in the glory of the Father is the Will of God. Your unity with us will be complete, your communion with us perfected. You will have no opportunity for cares, worries or hesitation. For in times of trial we shall move to the fore to guard your beloved soul. You will remain constantly enwrapped by the blessing, the gift of our love, and every onslaught by the enemy will not generate even the slightest doubt. For you will be certain in the knowledge that we are ever with you, to comfort you, your refuge and your strength, blissfully aware that nothing will ever pierce or tarnish the eternal love we hold for you. Amen
God bless you and keep you safe within his arms,
