There are many ways we can deliver a prophetic encouragement/insight/word. Prose and poetry are just two of many. This prophetic poem came out of an encounter I had just after Easter 2023, as I travelled to France by train:
Golden star dust shimmers Glory
Fragrance rises as a sound. Flights of peace as feathers rustle
Gum nuts roast in midnight sun.
Search light sweeps through chambered hearts,
Despair moves swift to joy
Aligning ways and changing speech
Shaped forevermore.
Depth of gaze
Our hearts align
Breathless expectation
Courage comes as horses rally
Hope released this day
The King rides by and gently turns
Searching upturned faces
Quiet beauty, breathless wonder
Delight, He seeks all places
Gaze returned
Intake of air
Eyes sharp, and yet so gentle.
Change occurs, the shift has come
Rapid, still and peaceful
Enough He speaks
now, rest a day.
Love is as yet unfolding
Sound returning
Vibrating deeply
In soul constantly unfolding.
Time yet stops and breathing deeply
Gaze still resonates
Wordless yet so full of meaning
Hearts stop and still He waits
Although passed by, He remains
We’re changed forevermore
Triumphal march
Minds not competing
Truth speaks
Always eternal

You asked us to share a story, so here goes! For the past 13 months, my husband 88, has been having physical issues, through much testing and Dr. appointments wediscovered he had a Mitral Valve leakage, he was scheduled for surgery on January 14th, during surgery he went into cardiac arrest, they operated on a beating heart, several days after surgery he had a seizure and went into cardiac arrest again, had blood accumulation in his chest cavity that had to be drained, then a few days later, they found blood clots in one leg so back to surgery for a filter to prevent it going to his heart, on February 3rd, our son fell off a two story roof and passed away, God was so good to allow it to happen before he was released from the hospital 3 days later. They were able to monitor his heart and it also gave me a chance to grieve so I could be strong for him.
During the 24 days he was in the hospital, every night during the night when I woke up, I would have a song of victory, joy or peace on my mind, The Holy Spirit kept me encouraged and refreshed, so even at 84, I was able to spend every day from the time we left home at 8:30 until we returned home at 7:30 or 8:00, at the hospital. We serve an amazing, incredible Father whose grace was truly sufficient. I can’t stop praising Him for His love, mercy, grace, compassion and faithfulness!
Thank you for the opportunity to share!!!
Dear Bettie that is a very tough season. Firstly I am so sorry for your loss! Condolences. But thank you for sharing how God carried you through! I pray He continues to do so too. Blessings as your husband recovers fully and I pray gentleness in your grief. May you continue to hear songs of the Lord over you bringing you strength and love ♥️♥️♥️
