WRITTEN IN MY HEART
8) God’s Assignment, Lights in the Darkness
Continuing to share some of the awesome work done by the Holy Spirit after I surrendered to God. In this writing, I will testify about the ministry assignment given that first month, October 2001.
On the night when my spirit was regenerated, October 2, 2001, and I was “born again,” I felt this sense of urgency as if there was something Jesus wanted me to do. I earnestly prayed to know what it was Jesus had prepared in advance for me to do.
The Holy Spirit spoke within me this assignment on Saturday (a Sabbath), October 27, 2001:
Minister to Children,
Focus on the Young,
These Little Ones Will Become Lights in the Darkness,
Expose the Work of Satan,
Focus on Eternity,
Evangelistic in Nature,
Far-Reaching,
Five Years.
I received three revelations I refer to as My Assignment, Mission and Commission, each spoken nine months apart (birthing time) and on a Sabbath (Saturday).
When the Holy Spirit speaks in His “still small voice” within me, it has always been in short phrases and sometimes just one word. I will share the second and third revelation in the order of when I received them.
On Sunday afternoon, October 28th, 2001, the Holy Spirit spoke these directions concerning the assignment. This is what the Holy Spirit spoke in his “still small voice”:
Lay the foundation,
Gather materials,
Write (don’t reinvent the wheel),
Recruit volunteers for the ministry,
Develop methods of ministry.
These revelations remain always in my heart and mind as I have worked to serve our Lord. I sought out and taught classes in Kids Church on God’s Account of Creation, reintroduced Vacation Bible School in our church, started an evening Sunday School program for kids, ages 5 to 12, which I named Kids Connection, and, was a leader in the Awana program for several years
However, it wasn’t until 2015 that I believe the assignment Jesus had given to me became realized. I became deeply involved in what became the building of a church and a children’s program in Pakistan. As the leader in America, the building of the little Gariel Church in the Christian village of Raiwind near Lahore, Pakistan, took place. I actively worked to provide materials for four Sunday School learning centers and taught some Sunday School lessons, over Skype and Messenger, to a Sunday School class.
The pastor and I worked to establish a primary school on the second-floor level of the church which opened in March of 2018. As I continue to share testimony, I will write more about the birth of Gariel, Gariel Church, the Gariel Sunday School Program, and Gariel Primary School. I will share, in the future, where the name Gariel comes from.
After experiencing being “born again”, receiving a divine healing miracle, and receiving the assignment from Jesus, at the end of October, the Holy Spirit spoke this phrase;
“This is but a prelude of what is to come.”
