Does God Know What You are Wearing??

I was a member of a ladies' ministry some years ago and faithfully attended the monthly gatherings. I was growing in the Lord and did not want to miss a THING!

One night, I was getting dressed for the meeting and NOTHING I tried on seemed right. I thought, "This is ridiculous! Just pick something!" After a few changes of clothing, I ended up with a blue jacket that I was happy with and went on to the meeting.

The speaker was wonderful and I took careful notes of all she was sharing from the Word. At the end, she began to minister to people in the meeting. She called on me to come to the front. I said, "Me?" She said, "Yes, YOU. I saw you in the Spirit a few days ago and the Lord showed me a vision of you wearing that blue jacket!"

I was stunned. So... the Lord knew what I was going to wear tonight? I couldn't even figure it out for myself a few hours ago! This kind of knowledge was too wonderful for me.

Psalm 139: 16 And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me,
when as yet there were none of them.

I went up to the front and she came towards me. I sensed of the Presence of the Lord more strongly than I had ever experienced. She put her hands up in front of me and said, "Be fruitful and multiply!" Without her touching me, I fell to the floor.

Psalm 139: 5 You have hedged me behind and before, and laid Your hand upon me.

I laid there thinking, "Well, THIS is new!" I tried to get up, but I couldn't. I was literally powerless to get up. I was so distracted by this phenomena of being stuck to the floor by the Holy Spirit, that I was not even asking Him what He might want to say to me. I kept trying to get up. Nope. Didn't work. So I just laid there and enjoyed knowing that He was Mighty AND that He knew a few days ago what I would be wearing!

I thought about her words, "Be fruitful and multiply." That was stunning. I wasn't able to have children--but I was beginning to understand that I am still a fruitful person and multiplying many things. No one had told her I had been through menopause when I was 19. She had no idea. Again, such knowledge was too wonderful for me.

Psalm 139: 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it.

I finally was able to move parts of my body and get up from the floor. I marveled at this experience and still do. That He pinned me to the floor to let me feel totally powerless and know He is Mighty --- absolutely captivated me. People began to rumor that I would conceive and have children. I even pondered, too---what could this mean?

I was content to know I had an encounter with God. Not just an experience--but a tangible awareness. Not just a tangible awareness, but one that clued me in on His foreknowledge of the small details of my life.

I have been forever ruined for the natural---knowing He is Amazing. Alive. And He knows me. I have always loved knowing Him--but He let me know that He knows me, too.

I guess that hadn't really occurred to me so much---that He was in pursuit of me!

Psalm 139: 1 O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
² You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.
³ You comprehend my path and my lying down,
And are acquainted with all my ways.

Wonder what I will wear tomorrow... hmmmm...
