RHEMA 6/15/09 DELIVERED FROM THE HEAVY BURDEN OF
INSTITUTIONAL RELIGION
VISION: I had my back up against a very tall
concrete wall. It was about 20-30 feet tall. The space
I was in was like a concrete box, about 5 feet or so
across, and also with the same 20-30 feet walls going up
the sides. I could not back up any further.
I looked up, and there was a pastor who was standing
at the top of the box, and he had thrown down a huge,
heavy ship-sized rope upon the shoulders and heads of
the people. It was as though he was wanting to lasso
them. It was a very heavy rope, and it had moss and cut
grass all over it. The weight of the rope was way too
heavy for the people. In my frail condition I could
never bear up under the weight of it. I had backed up
as far as I could go, and was separated from the people
who were weighed down under the huge rope.
Matt 23:4-5 NKJV
For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay
them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not
move them with one of their fingers.
COMMENT: Last week Anna posted about taking moss
off a person to find who he really was. I once saw the
religious spirit and he was covered with moss. He had
the shape of the abominable snowman, but his hair was
strings of moss. His smell was hideous and foul and it
was self righteousness like filthy rags.
Isa 64:6
But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our
righteousnesses are like filthy rags.
LINK TO ANNA'S POST:
VISION CONTINUED: I advanced towards the
people and turned right at a junction within the
concrete box and left that place. I ended up on a
concrete sidewalk outside on a lovely day. I saw myself
walking on the sidewalk and I had a small sized lasso
rope in my hand. It was nicely rolled up and I was
swinging it with my arm as I walked.
1 Cor 10:12-13 NKJV
Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest
he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such
as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not
allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but
with the temptation will also make the way of escape,
that you may be able to bear it.
QUICKENED MEMORY: Last week Wayne and I were
talking about old movements and denominations that had
become institutionalized and had turned into concrete
monuments. We were relating it to one of Rick Joyner’s
visions where he saw that the old movements had been
idolized and turned into statues.
The concrete walls that created a concrete box were the
walls of the institution of a church and in essence had
formed a maze that was difficult to find freedom or a
way out. When I found my way out, I was walking on
concrete, but the concrete was underneath my feet, which
is a parable of putting all things under our feet and
not being taken into slavery.
Heb 2:6-8 NKJV
"What is man that You are mindful of him, Or the son
of man that You take care of him? 7 You have made him a
little lower than the angels; You have crowned him with
glory and honor, And set him over the works of Your
hands. 8 You have put all things in subjection under
his feet ."
1 Cor 15:24-26 NLT
After that the end will come, when he will turn the
Kingdom over to God the Father, having put down all
enemies of every kind. For Christ must reign until he
humbles all his enemies beneath his feet.
HEARD: Mine came when I was 12 years old.
Maturity.
COMMENT: I heard the above as I was pondering
that I was carrying a small normal sized lasso. I was
repenting in case the Lord was saying that I was
carrying a ministry that was using control, the heavy
arm of flesh, or soul power over the people, in the same
way I saw the pastor using it.
After praying over it, I felt the Lord was saying that
the lasso was a rod of correction and that my lasso was
in order, (clean and without moss, rolled up and carried
in a free manner) and it was not too heavy. I did agree
that the Lord uses me as a rod of correction
occasionally and it is a part of my calling to be a
WARNer.
12 years old is a parable of coming into puberty, and
the beginning years away from childhood and into
adulthood. For instance Bar Mitzvah in the Hebrew
culture celebrates the coming of age. It is 13 for boys
and 12 for girls, where they become responsible for
their actions.
ANNIE’S VISION: A PLACE OF HIS TREASURES
Book 4
In prayer. I saw a place that appeared like a smooth,
leveled off piece of ground. Underneath the surface of
this ground, He was doing some kind of work similar to
the digging of a well, but this seemed more like a
powerful volcanic action which had not as yet broken
through to the surface. This action continued like the
action of a whirlwind, growing ever larger, until it
heaped unto itself more substance as it forced its way
upwards.
Finally it surfaced not in an explosion, but in an
opening and a bringing forth of itself into sight. He
explained that this was His treasure for His people. As
I looked carefully, I saw that it was not what we would
consider to be a treasure, for His treasure were like
great lassos or bonds that were of Him, and which He was
going to place upon His loved ones. There was nothing
destructive nor harmful in these bonds; to the contrary,
they were of great value and were works of His love
which would bring no ill whatsoever to His own.
Later in another vision, I saw many lassos – our lassos
and the Lord’s. I understand that we could not lasso
Him with our lassos; but that He had to catch us in
His. The truth is that we want to catch God in our
lasso, and do not want to let our lassos cease from
their activity. He told me that when He lassos us, He
will cause the workings of our lassos to cease; for we
cannot enter into Him by our own force or strength, but
only by His. Within us, is a hidden idea of our own
importance, and we greatly over-estimate ourselves and
our spiritual abilities, and this very thing is an
impediment to His working in us.
Zech 4:6-7 NKJV
"This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by
might nor by power , but by My Spirit,' Says the LORD of
hosts. 7'Who are you, O great mountain? Before
Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring
forth the capstone with shouts of "Grace, grace to
it!"'"
2 Chron 32:7-8 NKJV
With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD
our God, to help us and to fight our battles."
Ps 20:6 NKJV
Now I know that the LORD saves His anointed; He will
answer him from His holy heaven with the saving
strength of His right hand.
Ps 33:16-17 NKJV
No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A
mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse
is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any
by its great strength.
Ps 44:3 NKJV
For they did not gain possession of the land by their
own sword, nor did their own arm save them; But it was
Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your
countenance, Because You favored them.
WORD TO PONDER: FREE FROM THE TRAPPINGS OF
INSTITUTIONAL RELIGION 6/15/09
There are so many of Mine own, captured within the heavy
trappings of churchianity. They are bowed low under the
heavy weights of leaders who correct them without
mercy. These leaders do not bow low to serve My people
as My shepherd, but instead they platform themselves
into high positions. Their rod of correction and
judgment is bringing shame, condemnation and guilt upon
My own and I grieve over them.
I AM calling Mine own to come out of the institutions of
religious facade and find the light of day. I am
calling Mine own to come out from within the counterfeit
anointings enforced by the arm of flesh, will of men and
soul power.
Yes, I AM calling Mine own to walk the path of
righteousness, but not within the thick walls of
constraint, nor under the heavy burdens of demanding
leaders. Come out My people, and find your freedom in
Me. Leave the soul power, and the arm of flesh behind
and learn My ways for I am gentle and lowly of heart. I
shall give you rest for your souls, My dear, dear ones.
Follow Me on My path of life.
Ps 33:16-17 NKJV
No king is saved by the multitude of an army; A
mighty man is not delivered by great strength. A horse
is a vain hope for safety; Neither shall it deliver any
by its great strength.
Matt 11:28-30 NKJV
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and
learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and
you will find rest for your souls . 30 For My yoke is
easy and My burden is light." |
