Another case of God’s amazing signs and wonders through nature was astounding indeed, not to mention quite timely.
It was just another day as I knew it in my home town of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I was driving down the road while talking to my best friend in life and ministry, David Popovici. He is the founder of Kingdom Gospel Mission, which is a profound apostolic ministry within the region of modern-day Mesopotamia.
Of all things, he began to tell me how God was speaking to him that very morning out of Matthew 10:16 where Jesus says,
“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.”
I had also been taken into a vision that very same morning where I saw both his and my newsletters, and was told that we would be maligned. So needless to say, we were very excited for what was to come. (I’m teasing.) But still, we were grateful as we broke down what God was obviously trying to get across, while at the same time we tried to heed the warning of opposition to come.
As David continued discussing how Jesus was sending us out among wolves, literally right before my very eyes a wolf ran out into the street across the road, dead in front of my truck, in broad daylight! I immediately asked David, “What time is it?” as I checked my truck clock simultaneously to make sure one of us had the accurate time.
I have come to learn over the years that when God performs any kind of sign or wonder that one of the main revelations behind why He does it is hidden in the time. He is a stickler when it comes to timing, numbers, and dates. You must always check the time of the manifested wonder if you want to keep up with what God is doing and saying for what reason and why.
Lo and behold, the exact time at which this wolf ran out in front of my truck was 10:16. There it was, a nature wonder once again. God had orchestrated this wolf—which, by the way, is the first one I’ve ever seen in real life before or since—to run out at the exact hour and minute of the chapter and verse which David and I were discussing.
“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves” (Matt. 10:16).
Sure enough, the opposition followed like clockwork. It was no longer than a week or two later that I began to be publicly maligned and falsely accused, as my vision had foreshowed. David also began to go through multiple stages of resistance on many fronts. The revelation that God had been speaking to us both—on top of the emphasis brought to the matter by the nature wonder—assisted us greatly in overcoming the enemy’s plan of attack.
This is another great purpose for God performing signs and wonders. They are often a confirmation of what He has already spoken to you about.
