Psalm 42 . What Im going to say to you is true . As the Lord lives , I testify these words are true . I was given a note to write several months ago called I am the Light of the world . In it I gave the account of being in the wilderness literally alone with the Lord on a fire tower . I never spoke on what happened to drive me there . This is the testimony of the reason why . And as the Living God as my witness , these words are true . Abba , Glorify Your Son I pray in Yeshuas Name . I would often go out in my backyard at night , there were no lights except the stars . A canopy of trees and a wide open grassy half acre . I went out there all the time at night to pray . I had been under severe attack lately and would go there to stare at the stars an talk with God . On one particular night I was antsy and couldnt calm down . No matter what I did , nothing worked . So I go outside to stand on the steps i built and I look up and as usual there is orions belt . My favorite constellation . Directly across from my backdoor is the woods . Straight across . I asked the Lord , a crystal clear midnight sky , why is this happening ? And the wind picked up . at that moment I knew He was not only listening but was right there with me . YOU ARE UNDER ATTACK . it was then i felt Him , like an electrical cloud of peace and joy around me . I was looking up getting ready to run cause thats what i always did when His Presence became that real . I would encounter Him and go run and tell my wife . Which isnt bad but seeing it now how would you feel if everytime you spoke to your spouse they ran off an told their friend what you said...halfway through your sentence . That was and is still me at times . A giddy little kid...at times . STAY His Voice gently washed over me . Cause i was just about outta there . Im under attack? THEY TREMBLE AT THE SOUND OF MY VOICE and the cloud intensified . And for the first time i had courage to wait and see . To actually begin a dialogue out loud with Him . so let them tremble It was then a deer in the woods i didnt see let out a grunting snorting noise and i am almost had a heart attack . In that instant i felt something burn away . And like i wieghed about an ounce . The Fear of the Lord came upon me . And i knew if i was to speak i was to be very mindful of what i said next . But then the fear went away , and in this increasing...sphere...or cloud , Presence , i was given courage to speak . I tell ya you could have knocked me over with a feather . And so i didnt leave , i stayed . To see . I looked at the deer and i heard Him speak . Crystal clear . AS THE DEER PANTS FOR THE WATER SO MY SOUL LONGS FOR THEE O GOD . And the words came out of my mouth . I wanted to talk with Him like this . It was like approaching a Lion , and not quite sure which way it was gonna go . But in my heart i knew this was a defining moment in my life . No people , no cameras , no money . The real deal . I blurted out . ok , i see the deer , Youve used deer my whole life to talk to me , what is it Youre saying ? Not verbatim cause i thought at any moment i was gonna die , that i had just messed up speaking at all . The deer was gone . I had looked up at the stars an back again and it was gone . But He was still there . His Presence overwhelming . I know He is the One who gave me strength to stand . A boldness came over me . And I took a step forward unto the lawn . I dont believe You want to hurt me or kill me , You would have done that already . I dont believe You hate me either . Help me . He was listening and I was shaking terrified as I spoke . but if You sent gonna use me to reach thousands , tens of thousands then please kill me now because I dont want that much more to be held accountable for on that day . Not for fame or money or mens approval...none of that . Because I love you and because were friends As the Lord lives as soon as I said that . The deer came out of the woods directly in front of me . Did not look to the left or right , held my eyes and walked and stopped about 15 feet in front of me and just stood there staring at me . We stayed like that for about a minute and it slowly turned around and went into the woods . And it was then I turned and ran inside . When I went inside I jumped on the computer and the first thing I see is ARE YOU HUNGRY . I listen to it and am blown away . It was then I was driven out into the woods and would later write that note . The words i have said are true and I have obeyed You Abba . Bless t according to Your Will . In Yeshuas Name . Amen . .
