How I Knew (written by Magnus)

With Rachel’s blogs going up I figured that I should respond to how I knew Rachel was going to be my wife. First off God still speaks to his people to those who still seek Him. His words did not stop going into existence at the closing of the canon. Second God does have specific plans for his people this includes spouses the key is to being intimate with the Father in your quiet place.

            When I first met Rachel I was very attracted to her and naturally tried the regular things to do. I asked her for ice cream and she said no. I offered her a copy of my dad’s message from a church and she said no. Everything I tried in the natural failed even though it would have appealed to her flesh, which is what I see most men and women do. When I realized this was not going to work I prayed virtually everyday in the summer for her while she was away. Then one day I was in my room and this presence which I believe to be an angel or the Holy Ghost told me “she was the one.” But I was still not sure who “she” was.

            Later I was looking at her facebook and the same presence came as I looked at her pictures. The third encounter was when she was speaking at chapel and the presence told me to keep my eyes on her. Then one day I was prostrated in the prayer towers wondering if I should go after her or not. Then this voice said “pursue Rachel” and I did and I prayed.

Later, after I told her I was interested in her and we were out talking and she wanted me to ask her out I took her back to her apartment, dropped her off and prayed and prayed. Then I heard this voice say “ quit being a ding-dong and ask her out” this freaked me out but I called her and went back and told her what happened and she said yes.

            This was how I knew supernaturally but from just being with her she just looks at me with so much grace and undying love that I just know. For those who are waiting I challenge to be more intimate with God and for those who are pursuing in the natural means say coffee, dates, etc… I urge you to stop operating in the flesh and go by the spirit if you do not have the experience of walking in and by the spirit then you have another issue altogether and need to reevaluate if you truly know God and not if you had asked Christ into your heart, but rather if you have been filled with his presence.
