I woke with a vision and feel i need to share it.
I saw a mighty rushing river that was not noisy as I moved back slowly, I saw three pillars close up and I thought that I wanted to be one so as I was thinking "God, make me a pillar to stand against the floods" God says " You don't want to be one of those... they hardly feel me (the flood) and don't recognize that it (the flood) is Me moving all around them."
Then I got another one...
The previous pic was in the palm of Gods hand. "They may not be in my will, but they are in my hand". (Speaking of the pillars)
I wrote this because so many people would have the first thought of "This is about so and so!" (Someone other then themselves) If that is you, this is for you. You need to be washed. :) (Like how i add in the smile to make it a little easier to take?)
The Lord has been showing me a lot lately about how He wants His mighty Spirit to wash clean the hearts of people and basically get all the junk out that is putting blinders on them. We are His chosen people need to stop living so judgmentally. (yes, this was givin to me bc it's about me too!) ;)
Last Sunday I was trying to lead worship and I had a vision of a record playing but it had a metal clasp on it. Every time it would circle around playing music until it got to the metal clasp, then that would jump the needle making the music bump so that you never get a complete cycle. This was me last Sunday and I know exactly why. I have so much knowledge about my surroundings that every time I'd start to minister, my needle would jump and I'd be reset at zero. I prayed "God help me get the clasp off" and he said "it's in your heart, you're the one who has to release it". And slowly, I am. That clasp represents a safety wall I have built to stop people from effecting my heart. It also stops the flow of the Spirit. I can not be effective if there is ANY wall on my heart. Anytime I am it's because I have broken it down.
I realize this open exposure about me would give some people power or ammunition to use against me, and if you feel like it does for you, shame on you for being so far from the Lord's heart. :) (yes, another smiley face to ease your pain)
From Bondage: I am trying so hard to be strong that I'm missing the Spirit...
To Freedom: The Spirit of God is all around me always, I'm releasing myself to it...
*After I wrote and published this, i realized something about this message that was personal to me... When my vision started, it was so close up to the pillars that i couldn't see the water around them very well. The focus on my life shouldn't be the pillars, it should be ONLY God. Period. (Trying to decide if i need another smiley face)
*You know what the difference between pillars and trees are? trees have roots.
This reminds me of the scripture...“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
ReplyDeleteJacob gave me a word a few years ago about this scripture that I've held on to. Through that word, God revealed that being emotionally stable (not being ruled by my emotions) was like being like a tree planted by the water...you're not tossed to and fro by everything that happens. But where it reminds me of what you said is that it says...the water will send out the roots by the stream. The water determines the roots. To be a tree planted by God that no man can pluck up would mean to let Him determine my roots. And 'having my confidence in Him' is, to me, the first step in letting Him do the work.
:)
My favorite so far. The smiley's did ease my pain. Thank you for those. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the tree with the roots thing....they are alive and strong because of the live in them! YES! I love all this chit chat by you ladies about the trees and roots.
My most favorite moment is that the pillars are in his hand even if it isn't his will for the pillars. He's good and only good and will be good to us even when we have stone cold hard hearts. Sure makes me want to crumble into his water.
Sooooooo very good.
