LISTENING TO GOD’S TANGIBLE SIGNS

QUICKENED REMINDER:  After posting the Lord’s Word about playing Russian Roulette with our choices on TV, the Lord reminded me of my grandson.  When they took his ultrasound while still in the womb, he flashed the letter V with his two fingers right in front of the camera.  At the time I felt that he was telling me, “Hey dont’ worry Grammie, I am going to be OK!”  The letter V was the symbol they used in the 60’s/ 70’s for “Peace.”  After he was born when I laid my hands on him to pray, he moved his arm up to his mouth and did the same letter V and it again spoke to me the exact same message.  As I was smiling at this memory, the Lord imparted to me this:

V / violence

V/ peace

V/ victory

You want peace in your life?  Turn off the violence and the bloodshed.

TANGIBLE SIGN:  Later today I was listening to worship music on my IPOD while cleaning out a closet and I moved a lamp into the guest room by the bed.  As I was turning on the 3-way light bulb, at the EXACT moment I turned the bulb to its highest light, my IPOD turned off.   I knew this was the Lord’s warning and I figured there was a power surge though me that hit my IPOD and that I probably fried it.  I took it out of my pocket and clicked it, and it turned on.  WHEW.  The Lord brought to memory that I am contending to move from the 30/60 fold giftings into the 60/100 fold giftings.  When you want to move into the higher power giftings of God, there is a greater accountability.  I thought of my IPOD and I thought of Anaiahs and Sapphira.  How much of God do we want and how much is it going to cost? 

Acts 5:5-6 NKJV

Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.
