RHEMA 3/03/09  CLOSED THE DOOR TO THE OLD WINE SKIN

HEARD:  8 copies of a newsletter waiting for me. 

INTERP:  New beginnings are being confirmed.

HEARD:  Exactly.  New wine skin. 

HEARD:  Circling through a launching of events.

IMPRESSION:  I had the impression of going through all my rhema journals, especially the three and half years of soul surgeries and cleaning them up. 

HEARD:  Exactly.   Why is this important?   Time to behave.  The clock is ticking.   Out of desperation, years of working on this:

PIX:  On the floor, I saw a giant sound board mixer in the entrance hallway at our door. 

HEARD:  We will use the bridge between the old and the new. 

UNDERSTANDING:  A sound board mixer is the equipment used to mix many sounds into one voice that ultimately comes through a speaker system, or into making a CD.  The best example of this is an orchestra, where each instrument is on its own separate line and then when it comes into the sound board mixer, that line is adjusted as to its total fit into the overall song. 

The person running the sound board is a sound editor and can adjust the volume of that line up or down, and even take the sound completely off during a part of the song.  The idea is to listen to the whole piece as one unit, and not many individual instruments trying to come together.  When the final project is complete, each line is so blended that the listener will only hear the harmonious union of one song and not many individual instruments. 

DIRECTION ABOUT HARVESTING RHEMA

Today I came to a decision about what to do with my rhema journals.  I have tried to not use my journals as a catharsis for negativity, especially about other people.  Love covers and keeps no record of wrong.  So, all these years I have tried to keep a clean record up to date. 

Yet, I never deleted the actual Words I heard the Lord speak, where I heard and saw about my own problems or other people’s problems that needed prayer and work.  Part of the description of the Word of God is that it separates between what is soul and what is spirit and shines light on motives and intents of one’s heart.  

Heb 4:11-13

Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit , and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

At the time I hear these things about myself and others, it is very impacting to have that spotlight turned on.  However, I have noticed that when I do searches in past rhema, my eye catches these things and I am reminded of painful times where I (badly) needed surgery in my soul, or where God was highlighting where I also needed to pray for another. After I had gone through the death to self process of being pierced, yielding, excised and then healed,  I was rewinding old life that had really changed. 

Because these were God’s Word in His still small voice and visions, I have not even considered deleting them.  It was only recently when I saw how they were keeping myself and others bound to the past, that I saw the need to delete them.  When the Lord forgives us, He literally blots out our sins and throws them all away!

1 Peter 4:8 NLT

...for love covers a multitude of sins.

Mic 7:19 NKJV

You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.

Ps 103:10-12 NKJV

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;   12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

Isa 38:17 NKJV

But You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption, for You have cast all my sins behind Your back. 

WOW CONFIRMATION:  After I came to the decision that it would be good to go through the rhema and delete the parts that were about myself and others that needed work in lining up with His image, I came to an old entry where I heard:  “Do you want to edit soul?”

I was SO thrilled I had heard that!  It was perfect for what I felt was my answer to getting beyond my past.  Just as I decided this, I downloaded an email from the CEO of the internet company I work with.  He said, “That website just needs updated with the new code because she is using code from the old site!” 

EXPERIENCE:  After completing the project by combining all the cleaned up files together into one easy to search file: 

HEARD:  When you leave, can you close the door?

I feel this is closing the door to the past, covering sins and mistakes, and never returning to these things in Jesus Name.  PRAISE THE LORD! 

WORD TO PONDER:  TO HEAR MY SONG AS ONE CLEAR WORD  3/03/09

I speak in many, many ways to get My perspective and Word implanted into your life.  My Words are creative and filled with nuances of flavor that give life in unusual ways.  Some of My Word is correction; some of it is edifying and encouraging you to continue in My good path.  All of it is My work to build My image in your life. 

My Word is eternal and lasts forever.  However, that which you commit to prayer, while asking forgiveness and passing through to change is covered under My mercy through the blood of Jesus.  If I do not remember your sins and have washed them away, why should you remember that which does not line up with My Word?  Feel released. beloved ones, and allow yourself to delete your past and finally close the door to it.  Your soul will be greatly freed to finally have it behind you.

Enjoy your new skin and enjoy a new perspective from My view.  You will suddenly hear My song as something very lovely because that which did not blend in tune with My image has been deleted. 

2 Cor 5:16-19  NKJV

Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
