The Ultimate Answer by Anita

 Years ago I was going through a time of soul searching.

I was in great need. Distressed in my mind, trying so hard. I was trying to figure out the answers to so many questions–doubts, fears, unbelief, so many questions that were plaguing me.

Around me, I could see others who were experiencing such a freedom and joy. 

Singing and even dancing to the Lord in His presence. I wanted to enter into that freedom as well, but could not. I was so hindered and tormented with fear and doubt in my mind. So many questions and everything else.

I was raised in a very religious home, but was not free or full of the joy of the Lord.

Being very religious, I had a form of godliness with no life or power. I was trying to figure out God and this LIFE I was witnessing in others around me. I desperately wanted to be a partaker, not just a spectator.

I just didn’t know how. I was bound up.

So I was fasting and seeking God for three days.

On the 3rd day, God sent a friend, a sister in Christ, to my house.

She knew nothing that I was going through. She simply said: “God told me to come. What’s going on?”

She had been used of God very powerfully in my life and had ministered to me many times before.

So I shared everything with her. My struggle to find God. And what about this and that. And how I was praying for the Holy Spirit.

God had been setting me free of bondages already, but I needed more--so much more!!

Silently my sister heard me out and heard my heart.

She said, “I don’t know the answers to all that but you know you want God right? And the Holy Spirit?”

I said “Yes!!!”

So we cried out to God together for GOD and His Spirit!

Not for the answers to questions of the mind.

God showed Up!! He set me free then and there!

I could sing and rejoice in the Lord!

The questions I thought were so important didn’t matter.

They faded away. Like the old song that says, “the things of earth grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.”

All you need is God!! God spoke to me so clearly:

“Wait on Me for the answer. I Am the Answer.”
