RHEMA 4/16/12  LEAPING INTO JOY

QUICKENED SIGN:  Today at Costco, the lady in front of me grabbed onto her cart handle bar and leaped, kicking both of her legs out to the side. I watched her move into the parking lot and she was skipping and leaping into the air and side kicked her feet for as long as I could see her.  I thought of a deer kicking up its heals in frolic.  I was thinking how awesome it would be to feel that good and have that much energy and agility.  It was SO quickened to me when I saw it, it was as though she was totally inspired with passion to do this amazing feat.  (Word pun/ feet)

CONFIRMATION BILLBOARD:  As I drove home from Costco my eye caught a Better Head For Jerry’s Billboard. This one said, Got the jump on Spring?  And it was a fellow holding onto his lawnmower handle and side kicking with his feet in the exact same leap I saw the lady at Costco!  Wow was I amazed. 

I realized this had be a Word of the Lord and asked Him to remind me to write it down when I got home.  He was faithful, as soon as I sat down in my chair, I heard the following:

Heard:  Leap year.

This is a leap year.  Paul Keith recently said that the Latter Rain revival started in 1948 which was a leap year. 

QUICKENED SCRIPTURE:  As I prayed over the amazing lady and billboard I wondered what it meant and the following scripture came to mind:

Mal 4:2 NLT

But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.

PARABLE 4/21/12:  The last several days I have been scrapbooking and I created an Easter page and I told the Lord how much I loved spring, and all the colors of the blossoms.  Then a few days later I was looking to create a graphic and found myself once again searching for spring colors under the color directory called Spring.

QUICKENED WORD PUN:  Spring / leap

Confirmation FAMILY CIRCUS 4/22/12:  "God does a lot of coloring in the spring, doesn't He?"

CONFIRMATION 4/22/12:  Today someone said the following:  "I love that song by Robert Stearns and have it on the River 6! I sing, dance and cry to it - it is beautiful! It says winter is past and the springtime is here."

ANSWER TO PRAYER: Ever since 4/16, seeing those 2 great signs at Costco and the Billboard, I have been praying that the Lord would bring me the exact interpretation.  When I read her above phrase, winter is past and springtime is here, I knew that scripture was a key to connecting the buzz words Spring and Leap.  I could hardly wait to look it up!  I was so thrilled to see both words in this scripture, also the reference to the deer skipping!

Song 2:8-14 NKJV

The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. 9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Behold, he stands behind our wall; He is looking through the windows, gazing through the lattice.  10 My beloved spoke, and said to me: "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. 11 For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. 12 The flowers appear on the earth; (Spring!) The time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. 13 The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grapes give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away!  14 "O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely."

LYRICS DANCE WITH ME

By Robert Stearns

Dance with me
O lover of my soul
To the song of all songs
Romance me
O lover of my soul
To the song of all songs

Behold You have come
Over the hills
Upon the mountains
To me You have run
My beloved
You've captured my heart

With You I will go
You are my love
You are my fair one
Winter is past
And the springtime has come

Dance with me

QUICKENED MEMORY 4/24/12:  I just purchased a game for my grandkids called Explorer and it is by a company called LEAPster.

WORD PUN:  Leaps Her.

QUICKENED WORD 4/24/12:  I just read a person’s comment that said, “I’m glad I took the leap of faith!!”

This “Leap” Word is becoming more and more clear!  Thank You Lord!

CONFIRMATION 4/28/12 FROM QW MEMBER:  Just came back from a book store looking for some new books to read, I came across a book called " Leap of Faith" "Memoirs of an unexpected life "

CONFIRMATION 4/28/12:  Grandma Anna had shared her testimony of unexpectedly praying for 2 people’s backs in Wallmart today.  This was my response to her:

Oh my, I laughed and laughed with JOY when I read that.  It reminded me of the JOY we give Jesus when we are willing to step out:

Luke 10:17-21 NLT

When the seventy-two disciples returned, they joyfully reported to him, "Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!" 18 "Yes," he told them, "I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning! 19 Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. 20 But don't rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven." 21 At that same time Jesus was FILLED WITH THE JOY of the Holy Spirit, and he said, "O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way.

That Greek Word for joy literally means to JUMP FOR JOY!

NT:21

agalliao (ag-al-lee-ah'-o); from agan (much) and NT:242; properly, to jump for joy, i.e. exult:

KJV - be (exceeding) glad, with exceeding joy, rejoice (greatly).

WORD TO PONDER:  LEAPING WITH JOY 4/16/12

Dear hearts, it is time to leap upon your mountains and skip over your hills for I AM springing forth into a change of season.  Leap with joy, righteous ones, for I AM freeing you to skip like calves out of your pens.  The shining rays of hope are rising with healing in this new day.  Be filled with faith and take the LEAP.  I AM sending you to reach out to people.  You will such JOY when you follow My prompts.  Yes beloved ones, prophesy, comfort, pray, heal and deliver. Watch your new beginnings blossom with color and hope, after a long enduring winter.  I AM calling you dear hearts, I AM coming!  Rise up and come away with Me.  Let us skip and dance with joy together as we spring forth into a new season. 

Song 2:8-14 NKJV

The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills. 9 My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Behold, he stands behind our wall; He is looking through the windows, gazing through the lattice.  10 My beloved spoke, and said to me: "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. 11 For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. 12 The flowers appear on the earth; (Spring!)

Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away!  14 "O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely."

Mal 4:2 NLT

But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.
