Wow. Ever have something happen to you, and look back and think, “That was
TOTALLY God.”
I had that happen to me just lastnight / this morning. Lastnight before I went to bed I was praying about my trip, my life, and one of my bestfriends lives, too. I was praying for him and I felt the verse from i believe it was Job 8:21 “He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouts of joy.” I was praying God, please let his mouth fill with laughter, be with him in anything he might be going through. And thats when it started to happen. I felt God placing my friend on my heart, so strongly. So I asked God, ”
What do you want
me to do? Call him, or pray more?” and I felt like he said “Pray, and then call.” So ofcourse I listened. When I prayed I felt God say that there was “Serious Turmoil” in my friends life, and that it had to do with someone close to him specifically (I won’t say who.) So I got worried, prayed more, then called him. He didn’t answer. He
always answers. I was stressin’. So he finally called me back but my phone was off and I was asleep. I got the message and at 430am I called him back.
Now you can imagine whats going through my mind. Is this just me making things up? Is anything actually wrong? Will he laugh at me when he hears what I have to say? So we talked, and I told him everything, except that I thought I knew who the problem was with. I held back, that might be too weird I told myself.
That’s when God slapped me in the face with a great big
“I know what I’m doing when I tell you things!” Everything I had prayed lastnight, and God had shared with me, was true. It was eary. I know that God placed my friend on my heart for a reason, to let him know that God has everything in control and He has people praying for us.
Even when we least expect it.
Needless to say, he was happy to hear God had layed him on my heart, and the funny thing is, is I know it isn’t just me. I know there are so many people praying for this
amazing man as he is going through this time, whether they know why or not.
HOW AMAZING HE IS!!!!!!!!
I guess I’ll just let Everyone know I also found this trying to figure out of to spell Cease. LOL!
That is awesome! It’s amazing how when someone is going through hard times, God will move others to intercede on their behalf.
I am so glad I stumbled across this blog, but ofcourse nothing in God’s plan happens on accident. I’m proud of you for listening to the Holy Spirit speak to you. It is so important for us to be obedient when God tells us to do something b/c sometimes our faithfulness is being tested. I will pray that you continue to have even more spiritual growth and that He continues to use you! I also made a blog this semester for class about faith, but I took a different approach, so please check it out and write on it when you can. Take care my sister in Christ. Email me [email protected]
The blog that I created is: http://bibletalkisrealtalk.blogspot.com
Thanks!

I stumbled across this because I was looking up how to spell cease. (weird I know) I wasn’t going to read it but something told me just look and I seen the scripture Job 8:21 so then I seen your name and first year missionary. So then I decided to read all of it. I want you to know that in reading this, I was truly touched by how God truly is and how he works in peoples life. It let me know how much God does for me as well, and what I should do for him more. Prayer is an absolute need and it does great work and for you to be obedient in your prayers and forth coming about what God does for you and others is a blessing in it’s self.
I too stumbled across this similar to Charity’s reason. I was sending an e-mail to a friend and I wanted to say how God never cease to amaze me, but I wanted to make sure my spelling was correct. Then, I came across this. I was blessed by this blog. God’s goodness is so never ending. Thank you for being obedient to the Lord’s instruction; it’s inspiring, encouraging, and has moved me to take action on something the Lord has told me to do. Many blessing.
Wow, I found this blog pretty much the same way everyone else did. I was making sure I was spelling cease right. lol. Anyways, lately I have been following away from god. I startd to lose faith in his exsistence and something about what you wrote reminded me of why I believed in him in the first place.
God doesn’t exist you crazy mother fuckers.
Hi Chels. This blog and comments remind me of the poem, Hound of Heaven. It speaks of how God pursues and pursues and pursues, never varying. He uses everything in his pursuit of a man, including the spelling of the word “cease” (how odd) and even some guy’s weak attempt to glorify the enemy. Immovable, unturnable, never ceasing, always pursuing, always loving, never changing, always on, never off, pursuing, pursuing, pursuing.
I was just trying to see how to spell cease 🙂
God is so good!!!!! very powerful and moving testimony, please pray for me as well. God bless you
People, wake up, there is no god…its a mental illness to hear voices telling you to do something…You should check for medical help….
Just would like to say i also found this looking to for the spelling of cease, hahaha, maybe we’ll never forget how to spell it now…
WOW! So divine! Of course, my story is the same as everyone else (cease is a funny little word to spell!). What an inspiration your story is. Thanks so much for sharing. God bless!! 🙂
Came across your blog randomly. I found it interesting. I truly admire what you have accomplished. You reached out to your friend at a time of need, though your own mind instead of verbal communication. You had altruistically & spiritually connected with them at a time when you had sensed that they were in need of your friendship. Even though the two of you were physically separated, you time the time to be aware of your friends own experience. I think what you have accomplished is truly beautiful.
I found it interesting how you gave credit to “god” though. Do you not credit yourself for being so loving, receptive, & caring? You were the one who thought of your friend. You were the one who “prayed.” Do you not think that the answers you received are your own thoughts? Do you have to contribute them to “god?” I am not an atheists, nor agnostic, but in fact deeply spiritual. It’s just food for thought, but I must say, have you ever thought of how your “prayer” is your own beauty & energy connecting with others, instead of “god” contributing as an outside source? I was raised catholic, and respect all religions of the world, but it makes me sad when people do not credit themselves for creating such wonderful, and beautiful acts of benevolence. “God” if you must call it that, is inside everyone, everything all at once. I believe that “god” is not a separate entity. You said “he” when you credited “god” for this connection….yet you are female. Why would you credit an outside male figure that you have never met, instead of crediting the beauty, love, and connection inside your own soul with your friend. Not to denounce your beliefs, but I had just wondered if you had ever thought of this experience in a different way, other than what you had been taught, or what you have read in the bible. I think humanity is reaching a point in evolution where we can think for ourselves instead of relying on books that are thousands of years old, and very out-dated. I think it’s time we unite ourselves in the theory of god, instead of see other religions, people, and god as something separate from ourselves. “We” are all “One,” we are ALL GOD.” Anyway, this is just my opinion…with much respect to you. I just offer a different perspective on your divine experience. In my opinion, you are a wonderful, caring individual, and I appreciate you for being that way. I am glad you an I are connected through the energy inside of us…which is god….if you want to call it that. These are just my own thoughts that I have developed on my own…not from what I have read, or from what others have taught me. What are your own thoughts? I’d be curious to find out what YOU think, instead of quoting verses of what you have read.
I found your website the same way as everyone else. I, also, do not believe in coincidences. God truly is an awesome GOD who never ceases to amaze me. Those of us who get why/how we ended up on this page are on our way…Let’s give GOD the glory!
I like everyone else came across this blog by what may seem like an accident, but with God there is no accident. Thank you for writing this blog, because I know this is a word from God for me to spend more time in prayer. Also, I am learning how to listen to that still small voice of God’s Holy Spirit. It is vital for us to pray for others, even those who don’t know God. We are living in the last days, and Christians are being deceived by the devil. Please everyone let’s continue to pray for other Christians and especially the unsaved. God Bless you!
Well I stumbled across this blog the same exact way! I was rejoicing on how good GOD is, and I was actually about to tweet how god never cease to amaze me! I had been thinking about how I was going to dry my clothes because my dryer had been broke. The man wasn’t going to come and fix it until tomorrow and i had no money to take them to the laundry mat! Well anyway, the man that was suppose to be coming to fix it came today instead of tomorrow and I was on my way out the door; i had made up in my mind that i was going to spend the money i didnt want to spend on going to dry them. well anyway when he walked in the house He told me that ” when something is on his mind he have to fix it right away.” God is so good!!! I know some people may think that is petty but that right there open my eyes and showed me that God is always on time!!
It is written: “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.'”
Romans 14:11

haha, I was scrolling down and seeing what I stumbled on when looking on how to spell the word cease as well. Had to comment when I seen your post 🙂
Kinda of strange that I too stumbled upon this just because I was looking up “Never cease to amaze me” WOW….God is pretty cool…he works in mysterious ways. Never doubt when he may come to your needs. Your story was amazing and I hope everything worked out for your friend. God Bless
Lol, I too was looking up the word ‘cease’ before posting it on my FB. My bro who is addicted to drugs surrendered his life to the Lord this Sunday at the Harvest Crusade and God he just been at wk & is putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. Everything that has happened after that day is no coincidence, its God. We never stopped praying for him and God is listing to our cries and prayers and is carrying him too. He is faithful and I’m forever grateful?????????? NEVER stop praying for your loved ones..NEVER!!
