Alice Chooses the Most Important Thing

Let the following testimony from Alice Smith speak to your heart. She is a long-term intercessor, author and leader of the U.S. Prayer Center.

"In time, the discerning Bride safe in the arms of her Bridegroom will see 'that look in His eye' that communicates lovingly, Okay beloved, what do you want from Me? For years I took this opportunity to share my request with Him. Then one day, captivated by His grace and mercy, there seemed only one correct answer, ‘My beloved Lord, I want only you.’ Instantly, in the unseen realm, the shouts of joy were heard in heaven as a new breakthrough occurred in the relationship between Jesus and His intercessor. I had been given the opportunity to ask for anything, instead I chose to have more of God. I rejoice in that decision daily.

Amazingly, this new victory also ushers in new authority! Unaware of the promotion in heaven’s court, the believer who makes this choice waits for a response from the Lord. Imagine His delight with this choice as He answers, ‘Beloved, I give you more of Me.’ A metamorphosis occurs as the old nature falls off and the spirit is given new life beyond the veil with Him. True love has taken root.” Alice Smith
