Let me tell you a story….
I’ve been a Catholic evangelizer and spiritual leader for more than forty years. This calling came directly from the Holy Spirit. But I have a confession to make. In the beginning, I didn’t even know the Holy Spirit.
As a teenager, I sought out the supernatural by exploring the occult. My conversion away from the supernatural world of the occult to the supernatural kingdom of God occurred in Charismatic prayer meetings after Ralph and I married. There, I discovered the supernatural event of bread and wine turning into the Body and Blood of Jesus during Mass. My plan, however, was to hold onto my occult beliefs and become Catholic, merging the two and teaching others how to do it.
How naive!
Thanks be to God, once the Holy Spirit got a hold of me, the Spirit purified my thinking. One by one, all of my occult beliefs were revealed as counterfeits of a far greater supernatural life in Christ.
But this was only how it all started. Although my thoughts were being influenced by the Holy Spirit, I still didn’t know how to hear the Holy Spirit.
I watched others in the prayer group mention that God told them this or that, and I wondered: How do they do that? How do they know it was God? Sure, the fruits of it proved they were on the right track, but they seemed to have an ability to dialogue with God and actually hear him — an ability I wanted and didn’t know how to get.
This question directed the rest of my life. Now, I’d like to share with you what I’ve learned along the way….
