RHEMA 3/05/03  LASTS A LONG TIME

CONFIRMATION PARABLE:  Today I have been praying and asking the Lord if I have understood Him correctly to start dividing the rhema up and making them into smaller bites and tidbits as in 1½ page posts.  I tried making a few samples today to see what they might be like.  One of the things that I realized was that the rhema would last longer spread out like this. 

I was still feeling insecure about this new format and sharing the rhema like this in tiny tidbits, instead of 6 page puzzle revelations as I have been doing.  Then tonight I cut my bedtime protein bar into 8 tiny nibble pieces.  I had watched Wayne do this for a few weeks and it looked like an interesting thing to try.  Immediately I noticed how much longer it took to chew them and said to myself, “Well one thing for sure, it makes this last longer!”  As soon as I said it, I realized the Lord had set me up.  Not only had He filled my mouth with that answer, but I also experienced the living parable along with it!

WORD TO PONDER TIDBIT JERKY OUTSIDE THE BOX 3/05/03

Sometimes I speak in unusual ways.  These are outside of your boxes and boundaries of how you think I should speak.  I always did prefer abiding in a tent over a building!  Buildings are like boxes and so inflexible.  Tents sway to and fro as My wind blows where it will. 

As I fill your tent with My Presence, I will send My angels to serve popcorn, peanuts and jerky.  I have drawn you to be hungry for salt, and ready to receive tidbits to chew.  Yes, small morsels one at a time, but bursting with flavor as appetites increase for Me.  You shall chew and mediate upon My morsels from heaven and these shall be like little lessons along the way. In the process I will stretch your boundaries of Who you think I AM.   

"Go and tell my servant David, `This is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build me a temple to live in. I have never lived in a temple, from the day I brought the Israelites out of Egypt until now. My home has always been a tent, moving from one place to another. And I never once complained to Israel's leaders, the shepherds of my people. I have never asked them, "Why haven't you built me a beautiful cedar temple?" (1 Chron 17:4-6 NLT)
