“This will be your last year for teaching.”
When Lois Flewelling heard those words from the Lord, “I panicked,” she tells Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network. But, she adds, “I had a major encounter with Him directing me, because he had a great big, huge assignment for me”—one that took her life, and those of many others, to a whole new level.
The special assignment God gave her involved a picture of a building. “And in this building, I was going to have three counselors come in; they were all going to be Spirit-led counselors. I would have an equipping and training school, also host conferences, and I would lead conferences myself.”
When God gave her the picture, Flewelling says, “I asked my husband, ‘Can you go find where this building is in our community?’
“When he did, it was in the darkest place in town. And I went, ‘Lord, are you sure you want me to go there and buy that building?'”
He did, Flewelling says. But today, that whole section of town “has been totally changed,” she says. “It’s all been renewed, and it’s wonderful.”
“That was so out of my realm,” she adds. I’m not a businessperson—I wasn’t. I am now, but I wasn’t. I didn’t see myself as a leader like that. But I am now!”
