RHEMA 1/18/08  I WILL NOT BREAK MY COVENANT WITH YOU

HEARD:   Five minutes to 12.   Beginning.  It is really a release from the past. 

Covenant.  My covenant with you, I shall not break it.

Replacement.  Value.  Sticking with you. 

WORD TO PONDER:  I WILL NOT BREAK MY COVENANT WITH YOU  1/18/08

Beloved, you have been so faithful to hang on even after every door has closed to the promise I gave you.  When I came in the midst of your darkest hour, I found faith.  Even when you had absolutely no earthly hope of it coming to pass, you still believed.  I saw that your candle was still shining in the window of your heart.  Even when it was but a flicker, you held on to the light of My Word. 

You have no idea how you have comforted Me!  There are so many who have lost the light in their lamps and they do not even know this.  How I grieve over them!  That you would wait with Me, and honor My Word even unto death and beyond your own grave... My dear, dear, faithful child.  Thank you. 

You stuck with Me even unto death, and I AM sticking with you.  I shall not break My covenant with you.  I AM giving you a new beginning where you will be totally released from the pain of your past.  Whatever earthly losses are dead, I shall replace.  I understand their significance and the true depth of value of your losses.  Precious, I AM the only One that really does understand.  And so you can trust Me to fulfill what I promised down to the very last micro value of meaning and weight. 

Num 23:19 NKJV

God  is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent.

Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

Matt 25:5-13 NKJV

But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.  "And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!'  7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps .  And the foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'  But the wise answered, saying, 'No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'  And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.  "Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us!'  But he answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.'  "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming. 

Rev 2:4-6 NKJV

Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place — unless you repent.

UPDATE PARABLE 1/24/08:  Today when we babysat our grandson, we taught him the word “sticky.”  He was playing with a bow and so I took the back of it off so it was sticky.  The bow was made of many spiraled ribbon strands of metallic gold.  It was shiny and durable.  He had never felt “sticky” before and sure enough, it found a place on him and he kept shaking his hand to get it off.  I laughed in delight watching his puzzled face as he saw that this bow was on his hand.  He was rid of it, but it was not rid of him! 

A little while later he made his way over to Wayne’s lap table where he has his Bible and a bunch of sticky tabs stuck all over the lap table.  Our grandson discovered he could peel them off, only to find that yet again, they stuck to his fingers!  I put one on his cheek and he turned around but didnt know where it was.  So I put one on my cheek and when he saw it he laughed.  All that while I was teaching him the word, “sticky!”  I then got some scotch tape and we played more sticky games.

INTERPRETATION OF THE PARABLE 1/27/08:  I did not realize the parable was the Lord’s Word until today, when my friend sent me the following precious confirmation and Word she received in the prayer room last night.  She had no idea what I had heard about covenant or new beginnings.  And when I looked up the Word covenant in this month’s rhema, I saw I had heard the word “sticking.”  And then I realized what my intercessor friend saw was a spiral ribbon just like the one we were playing with.  A spiral represents the Hebrew word, “to wait” which means to bind together by twisting.  (#6960, Isa 40:31)  And our spiral bow was metallic gold... representing having gone through the refiner’s fire during our wait upon the Lord.  How precious are His Words to us, to speak to us on EVERY level of life!

Ps 37:34 NKJV

Wait on the LORD, And keep His way, And He shall exalt you to inherit the land; When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

WONDERFUL CONFIRMATION:  I AM ABOUT TO FULFILL COVENANT PROMISES

Give to an intercessor at Saturday Night Prayer

January 26, 2008

I saw a brilliant rainbow.  Suddenly the rainbow began to twist, like a ribbon, into a spiral – (like a spiral noodle).  It continued to twist until it became, what looked like, a flame and yet still contained the colors of the rainbow.  It was brilliant.  As it swirled, it began to swirl around the Father on the Throne.

I heard the Father say, “I am about to fulfill covenant promises.  Promises made long ago so stir up your faith and call them forth.” 

My impression was that this is the year of new beginnings. The #7 meant that things were complete and now the new can come.  There are many people who have had covenant promises made to them so long ago that they have given up on ever seeing them fulfilled.  He said, “Stir up your faith and call them forth.  I have not forgotten them.”
