Dust of Glory
For years I've heard about particles of gold dust appearing on people's hands and have asked God for this miracle myself. It happened years ago to my wife, Roseann, in a church in Atlanta. Well, last January 26th, the Lord spoke to me during my prayer journaling that he would fulfill my request. I had completely forgotten about it until last Thursday. As I turned the page of my devotional book, something on my right hand caught my eye. I looked closer and discovered small particles of gold-like dust all over my hand and fingers. I went to show Roseann and asked her if it looked the same as her experience. She confirmed that it was.
When I made a trip to the bank that morning, it was still on my hand. I asked the teller if she believed in miracles and she said, "yes." I then showed her my hand and she was amazed. I also showed the loan officer and she, too, was amazed and looked at her hands, but found nothing. It was fun to watch their expressions and to give the glory to God.
When God spoke to me last January about this coming experience, he also told me it would happen someday in our church services. So I shared my testimony last night at our Friday Nite Live meeting and everyone started to look at their hands and it began to appear on some of the hands of the musicians on stage. One of the young men went to work the next day and shared his experience with his co-workers.
How amazing and intimately engaging is our God in our lives. The love he has is so intense that he would send this little miracle of his manifested glory. Why would he do this? What is it's purpose, anyway? It is what the Bible calls a "sign and wonder." A sign of his glory and a wonder to those who witness and experience the miracle.
Signs are designed to direct and point us toward a particular destination. The sign itself is not the destination; our destination is God himself...his glory, his love, his embrace. So when these types of miracles happen, they point us toward him and creates a desire within to draw closer to him.
Oh, BTW. He also told me angel feathers are coming (another one of my prayers) and the first one appeared last Sunday during our worship service. Thank you, Abba, Father for your love so kind that you would shower us with your signs and wonders.
