“Draw Me Nearer”

James 4:8 (TPT)

Move your heart closer and closer to God, and he will come even closer to you. But make sure you cleanse your life, you sinners, and keep your heart pure and stop doubting.

As most of you know, around this time a New Year comes around and the majority of churches do a 21 day consecration. It's like a renewal in the spirit, and 21 days is something that we feel it takes to break old habits and start something new and refreshing, Amen, Amen and Aaaaaaaamen. Each consecration is set up differently whether it's a Daniel fast or complete fast, or one meal a day fast. It's however you choose to complete your consecration that is between you and God (it's nobody's business). In that consecration you pull yourself away from the things that entertain you in life that is worldly example: no eat certain foods, or not food at all, no cell phones, social Media, TV, games, shopping, spending money, bowling, swimming etc.......this to give all your time to prayer, reading the word, seeking Him, hearing from Him. It’s a time of renewal and refreshment to God and Him alone.

Well, me and my daughter chose to do a complete 21 day water-only consecration and we both know why God chose this fast for us.

               My Testimony

I received a call(Dec. 29,2025)a couple of days before I started my consecration on(Dec.31,2025). They were letting me know ________. At that time I had already started preparing myself for consecration seeking God and crying out to him Lord "Draw me nearer” to you Lord, confessing my faults and asking God to clean me up, repenting to Him to give me a new start with a brand new  heart, mind and soul in Him. I want to be right with you Lord. I had been in this repented stage asking God if there anything in me that is not like you Lord take it out of me make my heart pure and if I sinned or in sin forgive me I am sorry I want to be right in your sight.

When I got this call I was immediately receptive to the call only because I knew what I was in prayer for within that week. Before the call ended, I thanked the person for the call. I was grateful because I felt God was listening. I was humble because I was ready and willing to be drawn nearer to God.

After we hung up l dropped to my knees and begin repenting to the Lord first. I said Lord, I repent to you, again I'm sorry. Then I said to the Lord I want to and need to make this right with the other person, when can I do this? I wanted to go to this person at that moment and make it right and ask them to forgive me. I was wrong. But I wanted to hear from God when is the right time. Then, the Holy Spirit reminded me the spoken word a few months ago God had spoken to me prophetically so I definitely needed His guidance.

To my surprised God did not answer me. And then again it wasn't a surprise, because for me I know God's voice and I have no problem waiting on Him. So as days went on, I kept this before the Lord and I waited. You have to know when you're in a place acknowledging God on his direction, there is a waiting period. That's called Testing.

The Test (waiting on Him). It had been a few days before the Lord answered me. Now keep in mind, I said I know the voice of God and this is one thing I don’t do is play around with God word. If someone says God said it, I pray about it, seek him and the scriptures. Then I wait to hear from him.

 When you have a real and honest relationship with God (or with anyone), you know their voice. It's just like our children or someone you are in relationship with. You know their voice when they answer. Sometimes God don’t answers us right away but if you really know God, and trust Him to wait on Him, He will answer you, you may not get the answer you want but He will answer you just keep waiting. 

The test of it all is God is watching and waiting to see what we are going to do. Are we going to get weary in well doing in our waiting and faint? Or are we going to wait patiently with right attitude on the Lord? I waited, indeed.

Back to my testimony: One of my earllllllllly morning, I mean 1:30 am Cali-time (my regular time is like 4 am), the Lord woke me up out of my sleep and said I want to talk with you. I believe he wanted to talk to me a couple days before then and I had to repent, because my flesh was talking to me to stay sleep until 4 am. So I rolled over and said it's not time yet and went back to sleep. 

Awwww come on, ya'll act like that ain't ever happened to you before. But, I did repent and asked God to forgive me and He did just that, because He's a God of a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc.....chance God, Thank you Jesus.

So this time when He woke me up, it didn’t happen same way this time. When He woke me up I rolled myself off my bed onto the floor of my bedroom, as I got myself situated on the floor I hear this sweet soft voice saying No. Then I heard it again No, over and over again. Then God proceeded to talk to me about the phone call. He said the decision you asked me about, that you wanted to do you will not do that. Then he begin to tell me why.

He said this... I have been waiting to see what you were going to do with this since you asked me first. As you were waiting on me, your attitude, and your heart was in the right place when you got the call. You were so humble and you didn't deny anything. You were so receptive to the charge. You didn't try to rebuke it, or shut it down and because you trusted me enough to wait on me that let me know that you really do know me, and your relationship with me is so genuine.

(This testimony keeps getting better).

Now, before this happened on Wednesday morning at 6 AM Prayer at the church, I am on my knees with my prayer blanket over my head. There was one particular person praying in the mike on that morning, and I thought to myself wow this Prayer is so anointing. Not that the other prayers weren't, but it was something about this person praying. At some point, I raised up a little bit and moved the blanket from my head to see who was this person praying. I could not see her clearly. All I saw was a silhouette of her head, not person's face.

That Wednesday night we had service and as I’m getting ready to take my seat, I turned and I see this lady and it looked like the silhouette I saw early that morning at 6 am prayer. I turned to my daughter and I said, is that the lady that was praying this morning? I thought she said yes, but she said she didn’t say yes, she said she didn't know. Then Holy Spirit reminded me saying to the Lord that morning, if I ever get a chance to see this lady, I’m gonna have to let her know I’m so grateful and thank her for such a powerful and anointing prayer.

So I went up to her. I never saw her before, I just wanted to ask her if that was her praying this morning. So I asked, and she said yes. I thanked her and told her I appreciated her and how anointed that prayer was. We hugged each other and when we hugged she raised back a little grab hold of my shoulders and she looked at me. She said wait a minute, are you the lady that’s up here at the alter for praise and worship every Sunday and Wednesday services? I said yes, then she said oh my God, Woman of God, you are so anointed and because of the purity of your heart, God is going to use you mightily your heart is so pure and upright before Him. I’ve never seen this woman before here at church. She don’t know me and I don’t know her only by the spirit.  

I’m giving you all this testimony because I want you to know when you are asking God to draw you nearer, you have to know and have the right relationship and trust God and know that he’s going to do just what He say He’s going to do. 

God Spoke a prophetic word to me a while back and I believe it with my Whole heart. We

completed our 21 day complete fast and my cries and prayers are still Lord, “Draw me nearer” I wanna be right before you all the days of my life.

I leave this thought of encouragement with you. Bishop Dale C. Bronner said this, God's prophetic purpose is greater than your persistent problem. In other words, if God gives you a prophetic word refer back to His prophetic word, if God spoke it trust His word. "Word Up".

From Lady Lene'a with llove, always lloving you.
