The Art of Connection

Let’s be honest, folks. Have you ever felt like you were wandering through your life, even your ministry as if lost in a maze, blindfolded? You hear the shouts of encouragement from those who found their way out, the clanging of purpose echoing somewhere in the distance, and your heart is crying out to connect with that meaning, but you’re stuck. Stuck with a heart full of “what ifs” and a gnawing emptiness where clarity should be.

That was me, yes me, believe it or not. Lost, lost as much as anyone could be Funny thing is: I think we all are from time to time, we just don’t like to admit it. Frustrated, begging God for a sign, a whisper, anything to yank me out of the darkness and point me towards my calling.

Then came the night that I was repeatedly told about, this prophet was destined to visit our church, it had been on the cards for months, now here he was. The air crackled with anticipation. Everyone, myself included, desperate to hear a word from the Lord. My mind was a whirlwind of questions. Was I in the right place? Was this the ministry God called me to?  A silent mantra pulsed through my head: “Speak to me, Lord. Speak to me!” over and over I would cry out, knowing that God heard my very thoughts. The whole congregation oblivious to the desperate cries being knocked out of my head like a drum to heaven.

As the prophet began, my anxiety skyrocketed. Each person chosen felt like another missed opportunity. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic drum solo of doubt. Then, with what felt like the last breath in my lungs, the prophet’s gaze landed on me. Whoa, yeah… God always shows up for me at the very last moment.

Suddenly, the room shrunk. It was just me, the prophet, and the blasing presence of the Holy Spirit that pulsed through my body, I was being electrified it seemed and im sure people saw it. Three areas, the very three I’d been desperately pleading for clarity on, were addressed. It wasn’t just generic encouragement; it was a roadmap, a personalised GPS straight from heaven. Now who would have known that this was the behind the scenes creating of GPS.

That night, the maze didn’t vanish, but the fog lifted. I wasn’t lost anymore. There was a goal rather than a path, a direction I was to head off into, and most importantly, a renewed sense of purpose.

This, my friends, is the power of the Holy Spirit. He sees our struggles, hears our silent cries, and shows up in the most unexpected moments. Don’t give up on the journey! Keep seeking, keep praying, and trust that even in the darkest corners of the maze, God’s got a map for you.
