RHEMA 2/12/08  CLEAN SWEEP, LEVELED THE PLAYING FIELD

 

QUICKENED PARABLE:  I had been praying about deleting a file of past emails that I felt might be important for the future.  I felt a release today to copy only relevant snip-its into my rhema and then delete the emails and the entire directory.  The simple act released my soul of some burdens I had been feeling.

 

QUICKENED PARABLE:  Every year at tax time, Wayne and I go through our filing cabinet and clear out old papers that are just not needed any more.  We just finished doing that.

 

HEARDI am deleting.  Would you allow me/Me access?  As much as you like.  Clean slate. 

 

PIX:  I saw a 3 tiered skewer for cooking shish kabobs. Each tier had several prongs and the whole thing looked like it would cook several meals at once.  It was a top heavy instrument all on one handle. It was clean and empty.  

 

HEARD:  It’s a lot to think about.

 

WORD PUN:  This make me chuckle.  Grandma Anna always says “Shishkabob!!”  when something is way out of order, overwhelming or ridiculous. 

 

IMPRESSION:  I had the impression that I had all these snip-its all over the place and needed to consolidate it all into one file or place so things were more streamlined and simple. 

 

PIX:  I saw our round Rubbermaid container and lid that we use for leftovers to put in the fridge and it was clean and totally empty.

 

QUICKENED PARABLE:  Today I wrote a note to someone and asked forgiveness and also said this person was forgiven. I knew this was basically wiping the slates clean of offenses where we had stepped on each other’s toes.  Due to the seriousness of the last offense, I had been quite worried that this person would be judged in some way for not showing humility or any sign of change or repentance. 

 

HEARD:  I dont want {name} to be penalized.  Clean field.  Finally she mentioned this!!!

 

PIX:  I saw a bunch of exclamation points, as though the hosts had been waiting for me, saying finally I had said that!!!!!

 

HEARD:  Forgiveness.  You did that.   Moving you in.  Final piece, humble ground.  Leveled off the playing field.  A clean field. 

 

PIX:  I saw our backyard grass had been freshly cut short and it was very pretty, green and level once again. 

 

Matt 18:21-22 NKJV

Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven .

 

CONFIRMATIONS:  Today I received an email from someone who received their own personal Word from the Lord, via the wonderful ways He speaks.  I was quite tickled to read this Word and see how she has caught onto hearing Him this way.  :o) 

 

I believe it is EXACTLY what the Lord is saying to all of us, not just herself, that He wants us to empty all the stuff that is holding us back from being “updated.”  In her Word, she mentions dialing 228 to update her cell phone roaming capabilities.  I did that last week to my cell phone and at the time it was quickened to me as a parable of increase to larger boundaries with more clarity and ease.

 

Sandy,
I am going through something right now, I think is a place of new consecration for me. 
 
On my cell phone some friends tried to call me and could not reach me because my voice mailbox is FULL.  The message when I ring it says to empty some old messages so that new mail can be received. I went online and after reading, and looking some, saw Jeremy Camp's song "Empty me." 

 

It was interesting to me because my cell phone company said to "dial *228 to update roaming capabilities", and 228 was quickened to me.  In the (Hebrew 228 is to heat) and in greek (228 is to be true/genuine).  If I did this it would update my roaming capabilities (I think this is new realm of overcoming/personal authority in my life, being free to cover more territory.)  The Lord had been talking to me about smelting (separating ore from precious metal) and His fire, I have been listening to "Fire Fall Down" by Hillsong United.  It all connected.

 

He was showing me 1 Peter 1:7  So that the genuineness of your faith may be tested, your faith which is more precious than the perishable gold which is tested and purified by fire.  I think He is doing something with my faith level so I am ready for what He has for us in this year 2008.

 

1 Peter 1:6-9 NKJV

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, 8 whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, 9 receiving the end of your faith — the salvation of your souls.

 

Through these Words He was saying to me, “I want to empty you only of that which holds you back. I love you so, Never leave, never abandon you... Leaking (crying is okay). Depends.   I am dependable.  Depends with leak guards.  I will never let your dreams slip through the cracks.  Heart-rending. I catch the tears.  Soften the soil (oops I just did a typo, where I wrote "soften the soul", rather than soil!!!)  completely pliable - it's what you wanted more than anything, right?   I am heating you up, so that you can be emptied of that which is old and is of no value to you in this season, and I will cause you to walk in more of what I have for you.” 
 
Maybe this is just my personal season.  I guess I wanted to write and see if anyone else is going through this right now - are others going through this too?
 
Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
{Name}
