RHEMA 9/04/13  THE HUMBLEd HAVE GRADUATED TO THE OPEN DOOR

HEARD:  Humility.  The door is open.  Hebrews.

Hebrews 11:1-3 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained approval. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

HEARD:  Set you free and then some. Be bold.  Why you allowed God to be big about your future.  Graduated. 

VISION:  I saw the exit sign that said many answers to prayer. 

HEARD:  That’s just the beginning, there is so much work to do.  I am establishing you.  Your faith sweet one.  Walk it out. 

HEARD:  What’s holding the rest up?  Sitting on the fence and afraid to jump off. Going to have to answer some questions.  Make up your mind. 

Joel 3:14-15 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. 15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

Quickened sign:  If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you. 

COMMENTS:  I had spent a couple days re-reading all of 2004 rhema because the year 2014 is a full circle decade and what we passed in 2004 allows us to graduate to the next door offered for 2014.  One of the themes I noticed He began in 2004 was learning to lay low, to humble ourselves.  This difficult lesson continued throughout that decade as very important lessons to learn, lest we be not counted worthy to escape the hour of temptation that shall come upon the whole world.  (Luke 21:36; Rev 3:10)

In the following post, I shared 2 visions about getting as low as possible in order to keep from having one’s head chopped off by the angel of the Lord.  These 2 visions became one of the most important Words of the Lord in the 10 year decade of lessons. For those who have not yet graduated, this is a very important message:

WATER FINDS THE LOWEST SPOT

Proverbs 29:23 A man's pride shall bring him low: but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.

Isaiah 57:14-15 And it shall be said, Heap it up, heap it up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling block out of the way of my people. 15 For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

RHEMA 1/01/04  LAY LOW AND BE WASHED BY FULLERS SOAP

HEARD:  Remember that water flows downstream.  The path of water seeks the lowest place.  Laying low, humility and opposite of judging.

HEARD:  Divine setup.  Our purpose, fuller soap. Left Behind. Tribulation. Revelations.

LAY LOW IN MY RIVER  1/04/04

The Presence of My Spirit comes upon those who are lowly in heart.  They seek Me without an agenda.  They have confessed and left their sins behind. They continue to walk in the fear of their Lord, lest they be cut off and left in the dark.

Watch the flow of My river and see that it touches the lowly and downcast.  Those who walk in pride, who judge others and worse yet, who judge the river of God will miss My refreshing touch.  Those who scorn the lowly as they leap into My river, I too will scorn.  Confess your sins and prepare your heart to experience My river.  Remember My river flows and moves, be willing to travel to get to the river, then don’t hold yourself back from its flow.  Jump in, dear one, jump in.

Acts 3:19 NKJV

Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord…

Ps 36:7-10 NKJV

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.  They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.  For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

SEPARATION AND ASHES  1/01/04

As the years of shaking mount, even as the birth pangs of a travailing woman, I AM drawing all things to a climax.  That which belongs to Me will be separated unto Me and purified.  That which does not belong to Me will be increasingly warned, lest they be separated from Me for eternity.

The fuller’s soap and the refiner’s fire have one thing in common… ashes. The refiner’s fire burns the dross and leaves the ashes.  Fuller’s soap is made from ashes and oil.  It is the ashes of repentance that cleanses soiled garments. Lay low, bowing your heart in humility before Me.  I will mix the blood of My Son, and the oil of the Holy Spirit with the ashes of your life and offer mercy.  I will restore your losses and join you forever with Me.

Those that stand proud and defiant, hardening their hearts with willful sinning, will receive judgment.  Judgment is My last option before eternal separation. Those that leave Me no other choice, I will judge.  Even in judgment I love with an everlasting love. All things are coming to harvest.  My house will be full before the door is shut.

Mal 3:2,3

But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soapAnd he shall sit as a refiner and purifer of silverand he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

RHEMA 3/5/04  STRATEGY FOR DOOR OF PORTHOLE:  LAY LOW

What’s happening.  Good morning My love. I saw and heard the word blueprints.  Strategy.  Porthole. I saw the post about laying low, Water Finds the Lowest Spot.  This is about humility and repentance in finding His Presence.

Today as I was pondering the 2014 THE YEAR OF THE DOOR OF HOPE, the Lord brought back this rhema from 2004.  We have come full circle.  Here are the doors that the world stands before.

THREE DOORS:  THE PRICE IS RIGHT 2/23/04
Often the Lord speaks to us in Word puns where they can mean 2 different things and He is highlighting both interpretations. The phrase, "The Price is Right" is one of those tongue in cheek prophetic puns. As a child, I remember watching the game show called The Price is Right on TV. The player would bid on unseen merchandise behind one of 3 different doors…taking a risk that the gift they had in their hand was either better than or worse than opportunity behind whatever door they chose. By trading for a door, some lost what they were given, some gained, and some played it safe by keeping what they had.

============

MONEY IN OUR HAND
When we graduate, just like the show on the Price is Right, we are handed some money and given choices. That money is assets such as our character, our training, our preparation, our conscience, our anointing, and our calling. Upon graduation, it’s as though the Lord says, "Here it is. I have given you everything you need in preparation to walk through your unknown door. Now you choose." Wisdom would say that the above statement is enough to make one’s hair stand on end and refuse to budge without the Father’s counsel.

============

DOOR NUMBER ONE
Fresh out of our testings, usually the first door we come to offers the thing we have wanted the most. It can be sprinkled with glitter but along with it are many chances to compromise everything the Lord has taught us. When provoked, the enemy always overplays his hand, and that trait will manifest itself if you lay low enough and wait upon the Lord. The enemy gets wind of what the Lord is doing, and tries to jump the gun on offers so that we miss the real thing. The enemy says, "Hey the price is right. All it will cost is a little fudging here and a little compromise there. You can negotiate and rationalize your way through." If we choose this door, we risk everything and may gain our ambitions but lose a large portion of our full inheritance.

============

DOOR NUMBER TWO
When the Lord offers His good gifts, He says, "The price is right for the greatest door of opportunity this world has ever known." "You have My grace and I have also placed in your hand the character to enjoy the gift on the other side of this door. Do you remember your pain of past failure when you quit your obedience classes? I have given you the training from those past experiences so you will stay committed on the path once you walk through that door. I have also given you the courage to lean on Me and not trust in your own strength. I have given you gifts, anointing, and talents to spend. The cost to walk into your new beginning is already paid…through your testings and through My grace. When you walk through this great door in history, spend what you have wisely."

============

THE IRONY - OUR DESTINY IS SET

Rev 22:11 NKJV
He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still."

Who we are is a product of the seeds planted and nurtured. Who we are is known by our fruits. Our fruits are determined by our seeds. Our seeds are determined by our choices. Our choices are determined by our faith.

We are living in an age of harvest, where everything in the earth is coming into full bloom. We are the product of many generations of seeds, wealth, knowledge, faith, prayers, gifts and callings. This is true of both good and evil seeds. With this thought alone, we are already set up to choose the door to our destiny. It is still our choice, but we are already the byproduct of our own choices.

Who we are at the time we approach our door will determine the choice we make. What that means in plain English is that before we approach that door, we need to spend our decisions wisely because fruit does come, and it is coming on fast.

============

IT’S A MATTER OF TIMING
Because we have His God seed planted in us through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, our only choice is the right door. If we miss it, He will bring us through the same cycles of training with more nurturing until we finally have "enough money" to go through the right door.

Right now ‘the price is right" for the current generations to make preparations to go through destiny’s door together into the land of promise. There is a door opening through Jordan’s floodwaters, and as a unit we will pass safely over together. When the last person crosses over, the door of opportunity will close until another time.

============

DOOR NUMBER THREE
For those who have chosen the door of wickedness, they still have time to repent so that they may cross over in safety. The price is the blood of Jesus Christ and the word of their testimony in Him. For those lacking the funds, repentance is instant cash.

Rev 3:15-21 NKJV
"I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing' -- and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked -- I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

============
CONCLUSION

{Words to Ponder are summaries of His quickened Words}

WORD TO PONDER: SPEND YOUR TRIALS WISELY 2/23/04
Dear ones, all of time has waited for this hour when the fruit of the earth overtakes the plowman. All that is fruit will receive its reward, whether to be burned or preserved. Your fruit is a product of everything you yield to. Yield to Me and I AM the Merciful One Who will tear the weeds from your life and nourish My good plantings.

As you come to your destiny’s door, the spotlight will shine upon your assets that have been bought and won by passing your tests and by My blood. It is not too late to close the wrong doors in your life. Do you need more grace in this late hour? Dear one, repentance will buy you more than enough.

Rev 12:10 KJV
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

1 Corinthians 3:12-15 NKJ
Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one's work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
