When the Miraculous Found Me

Testimony: When the Miraculous Found Me in My Car at the Park

A True, Life-Affirming Moment of Prophecy, Obedience, and Divine Presence.

Introduction:

There are moments in life that sometimes arrive cloaked in awestruck wonder, and they leave their profound impressions with nothing more than a whisper. These moments come quietly—like morning covers softly tucked around us, like a deep, satisfying sleep that wakes you refreshed, full of purpose. These moments don’t exclaim Gods presence with loud bravado; they hush us. They pause us. They make us aware of something otherworldly—something holy. Before the testimony unfolded, there was simply a guidance… a prompt of direction… a sacred interruption. When all you can do is obey, that is the cost of surrender—a faithful Leader who knows the plans He has for you and designs a life of encounters to lead you on your way, to add quality to your salvation, power, purpose, and authority for Kingdom glory. His love proves perfect, and His Word will not return void. These whispers in the quiet are the times God communes with us—a loving God who is ever-present and waiting for us saints to pick up the mantle of our callings and trust Him with His guidance and give our obedience as He expects. A whisper that rearranges everything.
What follows is a story not about performance, but about presence—and the miracle working power that falls when we listen in obedience.

A Testimony: When the Miraculous Found Me at the Park

I was planning to visit a church outing that Saturday morning, while my children played under the supervision of a chaperone at the pool with the children’s church. But as I sat with a group of people at the church outing , the Holy Messenger of God whispered clearly:

“Leave now. Make no excuses.”

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
— John 10:27 (KJV)

I obeyed. I politely told the group I had to go, then gathered my four children from the summer church event and left.

That Morning we were supposed to meet my stepfather, Allan, at the park where we regularly ministered and fed the homeless on Saturdays. But when I arrived, he wasn’t there yet—which was unusual, as he was typically already set up by then.

There was a bubbling urgency rising in my spirit. I found a nearby payphone—this again was before I had a cell phone—and called him.

“Dad,” I asked, “did you pray and ask God to have me come to the park today?”

He paused. Then answered:

“Yes, I did.” with a chuckle in his voice.

“I’m already here,” I said. “And I believe God wants me to speak today.”
“All right,” he said. “I’ll be there soon.”

I returned to the car with my children. As we waited, the Lord Himself arrived. I don’t mean metaphorically. I mean the Presence of the Living God filled that car so tangibly that my children grew completely still in the back seat.
They felt Him, too.

In that holy silence, a light illuminated scripture before my eyes as i opened my Bible, and the Lord said:

“Speak, and I will fill your mouth with every needed word.”

“Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.”
— Exodus 4:12 (KJV)

When my stepfather and my stepbrother Robert arrived, Robert kept looking at me and asking, “Sis, are you okay?”

I said gently, “Yes… but God is doing something. I have to speak today.”

Both my stepfather and Robert—the leaders of the outreach—yielded the front to me, and I stepped forward under the power of the Holy Spirit.

I spoke with boldness about surrender, repentance, and obedience—that these are far more powerful than any sacrifice we could offer.

“Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.”
— 1 Samuel 15:22 (KJV)

I declared that obedience opens the windows of heaven, where blessings flow that we cannot earn or even contain.

“…if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”
— Malachi 3:10 (KJV)

I spoke of Jacob’s ladder—that when heaven sees surrendered hearts, the angels of the Lord descend and ascend to carry out God’s will.

“And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth… and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.”
— Genesis 28:12 (KJV)

I told them this word wasn’t just for those gathered—it was for me too. I had been given a divine charge to obey this very morning. My being there was not an accident. It was a holy appointment.

And then I began to sing.

As I lifted my voice with “Amazing Grace,” something happened that had never happened before—and it was beautiful , the glory of God swept over the filed of the lost and they did hear Him.
The presence of God swept across the park in a way no one could deny.

“Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.”
— 1 Chronicles 16:23 (KJV)

A young African American woman—beautiful, radiant, with tears streaming down her face—shouted out from the crowd:

“I want to sing and serve like you do!”

An elderly woman nearby cried and lifted her hands toward heaven. Men, many of them hardened by the streets, stood in awe-struck silence. Some came forward in groups, kneeling at what we called the “altar”—a simple park bench with a tablecloth draped over it.

I watched with trembling wonder as God took my voice and stretched it across that entire park.
Some found Jesus for the first time.
Some returned in repentance.
Some found rest for their weary souls.

“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword…”
— Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)

I still don’t know everything God did that day. But I know this:
I was witnessing gods divine glory on my life .
My father’s prayers were answered.
My children’s hush was holy.
My brother witnessed something bigger than he knew existed.
And I became rooted in obedience.

“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy…”
— Acts 2:17 (KJV)

Closing Reflection: Why Prophecy Still Matters

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
He that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.”
— 1 Corinthians 14:1,3 (KJV)

Prophecy is a gift meant to strengthen, uplift, and guide the Body of Christ. It brings clarity where there is confusion, hope where there is sorrow, and direction where there is waiting.
Above all, it is grounded in love.

Scriptures on the Poor and the Kingdom

The Gospel to the Poor

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me… to preach the gospel to the poor.”
— Luke 4:18 (KJV)

Jesus Identified With the Poor

“Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”
— Matthew 25:40 (KJV)

Lending to the Lord

“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.”
— Proverbs 19:17 (KJV)

Reflection Prompt:

“What if your next act of kindness is a direct investment into the hands of the Lord Himself?”
“The poor, the forgotten, the weary—they might just be Jesus in disguise. Will you recognize Him when He comes near?”

Hebrews 13:2 (KJV):
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Prayer Moment

My prayer for all those who read my words
is that you, too, would feel the hush before the holy. That you would know the gentle weight of God’s presence in ordinary places—like a park, or in your car like I did—hoping above all hope that the small, still voice that whispers in the quiet moments of your life fills you with the grace and authority to walk obediently in the presence of your divine journey, with the Holy Spirit leading the way.
May your heart remain tender, your ears open, and your steps willing—because sometimes, all heaven needs is one willing soul, listening close enough to hear the whisper… and brave enough to say yes.

From My quiet heart to yours, may you hear His whisper…
