Example of "TrustMe" saith The Lord

RE: Example of "TrustME" saith the Lord.

Today I went swimming for my much needed exercise. I don't walk well anymore on land.

Today I closed my eyes and chose to walk across the pool. A strong voice said to me, "TrustME'" I'll get you there with your eyes closed.

Now I know where I am. while in the pool. So I closed my eyes and walked. Still hearing, "TrustME". Now you would think this is very easy to do. Unfortunately, I opened my eyes before I got there.

I tried this a few more times. I finally made it across with my eyes shut. However, I found it was very hard to do.

Then I chose to walk backwards with my eyes shut. I did it on my first try. It was so much easier to "TrustHim" as I walked backwards.

Why is this?

You trusted Him totally knowing you would be safe no matter what. He always protects us even when we are unsure of where our feet will land next. Our God is an awesome God !!

Hi Snow,

The first thing I notice is that you said a "strong voice". But that does NOT mean it was the voice of the Spirit. In fact I do not think it was simply because there was no reason. Also the voice of the Spirit is not usually strong. It is quiet. And there was simply no reason for an angel to speak to you. If you are hearing a demonic voice speaking strongly saying "trust me" then you need to discern. It was probably the voice of your own self. And really somewhere inside yourself you knew this. Therefore it was very hard to trust yourself to keep your eyes closed. I have learned that when we are sure something is of God then we can follow through. As for the walking backwards, you had already gone forward. The path had been made you might say. So doing it again backwards was easier. I have learned that when we are in the stage of discerning the voice of the Spirit we often hear the voice of self instead. But the day comes when we know the difference.

Experience showed you the first time that you could Trust Him..it gets easier each time. He shows us that He has us covered and in turn doesn't life just get easier, we can deal with things cause by learning this we really learn that He is the one in control

Hey there folks it is not my place to say, i feel God works on the personal basis with all of us sometimes, to those who would read this persons message and shoot it down so to speak to each his own i suppose but i would ask that you read 1 Thessalonians 5:19 and really meditate on that verse and think about all the facets of what that statement say. of course it is nto my place to judge i am simply trying to offer some constructive criticism so to speak.

God bless

Thanks for your answers.

Some times when I go swimming it is boring. So I decided to try swimming or walking in the water with my eyes closed. Gives you an idea of what blind people must endure when they are in the water.

You depend upon sound alot. Besides placing your feet on the botom of the pool.
