Overcoming obstacles

Back in the beginning of Oct, I was asked to be the speaker at one of our Emmaus meetings at my church. I felt so honored but also felt unsure of what God wanted me to speak about since there are so many things he has done! I then felt I would get more clarity from God when I went to a retreat called "Brides of Christ" in Orlando with one of my best friends Tanya. So while we were there I was given a verse to read and it was Ephesians 6 (talking about putting on the full armor of God). I thought beforehand that he wanted me to speak on overcoming obstacles before each Emmaus walk and so this was another sign from God that he wanted me to mention this scripture in my testimony..but he wasn't done yet. ..We had some alone time with God and during that time I was able to walk the prayer labrinynth which is this pretty woven maze. I was deep in prayer and talking to God when I rounded the corner and saw all these spiders and the web was literally blocking my path..Now know that I have a DEEP fear of spiders and really there was NO WAY i was going ahead. I told the Lord that but I felt the spirit beckoning me to get to the end and to grab my sword ..a stick..and slay the spiders and forge ahead with the help from the Holy Spirit "I can do ALL things through Christ Who Strengthens me". So I forged ahead and I was able to get to the END where this beautiful cross was awaiting me..It's kind of an analogy of life..In this life we will have Obstacles to overcome but God is with us through us and he will see us to the END where we will meet him in GLORY and that is where our true AWARD awaits us..it's not on this earth for this earth is only temporary but heaven is for ETERNITY! He also gave me during the week the verse in Hebrews 12:1-2 "Run the race that is set out before us and to keep our eyes on Jesus"..Paraphrasing. God also gave me the verse in Ephesians 3:20 that was in Jesus calling and in my bible study for the week.."Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.. Also John 16:33 states "IN this world you will have trouble but take heart I've overcome the world" I was then getting ready for my testimony and looked outside and felt the Holy spirit prompting me to go outside and look for a rainbow ..since I was going to talk about how God gave me a rainbow before each Emmaus walk (mine, dad's, mom's) and about mom's healing and how God gave me a rainbow then as well.I didn't see the rainbow at first but somehow I sensed there was one..then 5 min later I get this text from my friend and she sees one in Bluewater but I guess I couldn't see it since the trees were in the way and she sent me a pic of it..another analogy is this..even though we don't see God, He is always there!!! I was and am overcome with thankfulness to the Lord for showing me a rainbow again on the day (just an hour before I was to give my testimony that was about rainbows of all things). Our God cares soooo Much about each and every one of us..we just need to be open to him and to have our eyes and ears open to what he wants to show us! God filled the room as well and was so overcome by the holy spirit during my testimony..it was AMAZING!! ALL GLORY and HONOR and Praise are HIS NOW And Forever!!!!
