I find there are seasons I hear the Lord’s voice, it’s usually when I’m intently seeking his word and will for my life. It took me a while to start recognizing his voice apart from my mind. Sometimes he speaks to me thru dreams, visions, word of knowledge, and sometimes its thru recognizing the Holy Spirit’s still small voice prompting me.
My husband Mic;
I either had a dream or a vision, I feel like it was day time though if I remember right. I think it was a vision. Anyways… vision of myself walking down the isle towards my husband. He was tall, dark hair, wearing all white (ivory) but I didn’t see his face.
At that time I was dating a guy for 3.5 years that was not tall and had dirty blonde hair. The lord had been telling me he wasn’t the man for me for a while but after that vision I knew. I broke up with him. Within a month I met my husband. We met, dated, got engaged and married within 11 months. I forgot about that vision until I walked down the isle. It came back to me like dejuvu. Except this time I could see his face (because it was real life). He was even wearing ivory just like my dress, we made these choices without even remembering my vision. I never saught out a tall dark handsome man. Honestly that wasn’t even my “type”. It’s almost like the Lord allowed me to forget that vision while I met him so that I wouldn’t of been searching out a type. Instead it just happened because of my obedience to end the other relationship. And now we have been married 7 years and counting. We are more deeply in love today then ever before.
Our children…
The Lord spoke to me about each of our sons and their names. Emmanuel (God with us), and Malachi (messenger of God).
Emmanuel;
I had a dream with my first son Emmanuel. I saw him as a baby and everything, I was facing fear of being a bad mother (while we were trying to get pregnant for 11 months) and the Lord gave me a dream. I was changing his diaper and he had black straight hair and I called him Emmanuel, and in that dream God said to me, for I am with you, be at peace. I woke up with total peace and confidence in having a baby. A few weeks later I conceived.
Oh and by the way Emmanuel as a baby looked exactly like that dream! Eventually his black hair fell out and went blonde.
Malachi Jordan;
I knew from the moment he was conceived. I just knew. I told my husband we just made a baby and he laughed at me. I was on birth control too. And I said I got the name Malachi. I looked up his name meaning. Messenger of God. At this point I told my husband I needed to stop taking birth control atleast until my next period cycle, because I didn’t want it to harm the baby. I told him if I am wrong we can just use backup. But I knew I wasn’t wrong. A few weeks later I was confirmed to be pregnant.
