RHEMA 7/15/98 MIRACLE WHIP AND PEOPLE PROBLEMS

DREAM: I was in a car with a bunch of other people. The person driving was in the wrong lane, driving backwards at normal speed. I was quite uncomfortable with this. I finally said, “Here, I'll help!” So I climbed in the front seat and managed to turn it around, steer, do the clutch, and shift without disturbing anyone in the car. But I was peddling it with my legs like a bicycle. My legs were getting very tired.

We started to cross over a bridge with water on each side lapping the road. I became anxious because the road veered to the water's edge so I leaned in with my weight to make the jeep hug the road better. The jeep turned into a motorcycle, with all these people still with me.

A policeman stopped me and kept asking me if such 'n such was the license plate? I kept asking him, “What?” as I couldn't quite hear him, although I discerned what he was asking. Finally I said, “If you're asking me if that is my license plate, no, this is a borrowed cycle.” He then asked me if I was aware that a motorcycle had power. I realized that I had been peddling it like a bike and the fact it had power never occurred to me as I had never driven a motorcycle before. Everyone thought this quite amusing. I felt really silly. After thinking about it, I decided I still felt safer peddling, as it was slower!

HEARD: I gave you this story for others so that everyone would identify, knowing that it happens to everyone.

PIX: I saw a brand new large jar of Miracle Whip. Then I opened up the jar and peered inside. It was all scraped clean except for the last small teaspoon.

HEARD: People's problems. They all have them.

WORD TO PONDER THE ARM OF FLESH 7/15/98

I have called you to be My deliverer, but never through the arm of flesh. To try and rescue others in your own strength will only exhaust you and they shall not learn. Everyone has problems and I use everything in My children's lives for My good purpose. To deliver prematurely or to deliver at all, when I have a purpose is thwarting what I want them to learn. At the same time many of these need deliverance due to poor choices. I will send you to rescue and defend. But this will not be in human flesh or gifting. Rather it shall be through the power of My Spirit upon your life.

“"I have surely seen the oppression of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their groaning and have come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send you to Egypt." ' 35 This Moses whom they rejected, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge?' is the one God sent to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the Angel who appeared to him in the bush. 36 He brought them out, after he had shown wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness forty years.” (Acts 7:33-36 NKJV)

COMMENTS: Wayne mentioned there is a commercial that when the fellow makes this huge sandwich, then opens the jar of Miracle Whip, there is only one tiny small teaspoon left. So he scrapes out the teaspoon, and cuts off a tiny piece of the sandwich, and eats only the tiny bite with a huge blob of Miracle Whip on top!

The name Miracle Whip is an interesting pun. The recipe for mayonnaise is to whip or blend oil (anointing) and eggs (the Lord and us) together. I had written a Word to Ponder called blended, which came from a question the Lord once asked me, “Can you separate scrambled eggs?” He then said that neither could He & I be separated and I needed to get past my preconceived ideas about sharing Him as separate from myself. Back then I had the idea that I was to wait for this supernatural download and empty myself of all that was me. He was saying He wanted us blended as One, in a unique outreach to the people. So Miracle Whip is the same concept with supernatural (super & natural) ministry.

BLENDED 9/5/91

We are one. You and I. You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your ways. I pour Myself into you and blended, we reach out together.

Did you think I wanted puppets for sons? Yes, willing and movable vessels. But not wooden. It is YOU I desire, ALL of you. Have you ever thought I actually LIKE you? I gave you a personality as unique as your fingerprint. No one can match your mold. Together, we blend and touch others.

I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will. As you empty yourself and wait, you forget I MADE you human. I could have made you an angel, but I made you a living person and send you to other living people. Together we will move. Words are lifeless without My Spirit. You speak it, I quicken it. I go before you and prepare hearts. We will work together.

“...For the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.” (Isaiah 62:4)
