rhema 12/16/08  CIRCLING ON THE POTTER’S WHEEL

HEARD:  My daughter.  Do not be afraid.  Canopy.  What’s ahead.

The Potter. He circles.  Until He gets what He wants.

Isa 64:8 NKJV

But now, O LORD, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.

WORD TO PONDER:  I CIRCLE UNTIL I GET WHAT I WANT  12/16/08

Even as Adam was formed by the mud of the earth, so I fashion you.  In the midst of many circles, I place the covering of My hands around you as you whirl and wait.  I press in where you need to be smaller.  I release where you need to grow.  I smooth out the bumps as I prepare you as My vessel for use.  

I have My plan in store and you have yours.  Would you prefer your resistance cause Me to relent and start over?  Beloved one, you will stay on My potter’s wheel until you release your will to Me and yield to My hand. 

Jer 18:1-10 NKJV

The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying: 2 "Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear My words." 3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.  5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 6 "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter?" says the LORD. "Look, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel! 7 The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it,  8 if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. 9 And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it,  10 if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.

Rom 9:18-24 NKJV

Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens. 19 You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?" 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?" 21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? 22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, 24 even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
