RHEMA 8/17/12  OVERCOME DIRE STRAIGHTS WITH A GENTLE SPIRIT

HEARD:  Push the envelope.  Courage.  Red zone.  Speed bump.  A dreadful misunderstanding. 

PIX:  I saw sizzlers toast.

HEARD:  Feather.  Gentle. Gracious.  Innocent.  Pure. 

That’s My daughter.  She will accompany Me throughout eternity.

NOTE:  I had several distressed people write me in regards to having dire straight relationship problems this month having to do with misunderstandings.

PASSING THROUGH THE NARROW PLACE  WITH GENTLENESS 8/20/12

HEARD:  Courage.

PIX:  I saw a vine

HEARD:  Vine.  Cling to Me. 

QUICKENED SCRIPTURE: 

Gal 5:22-23 AMP

But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, 23 Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge].

The Lord has been working circumstances in our lives that bring about the fruits of His Spirit within us.  Each of these fruits are like seasons in our lives, where He hones in on one certain fruit to bring it to greater maturity.  As we identify which fruit He is working on, we are able to partner with Him and it becomes much easier line up with His Spirit and have satisfying fellowship with Him in the process.

QUICKENED FRUIT:  Gentleness

QUICKENED MEMORY:  The Lord told Bob Jones that the fruit of the year was gentleness which is the banana, having soft heart.

I sense that He is working on a gentle and quiet spirit this season.  We will notice how good we feel emotionally when we remain gentle and quiet no matter what whirlwind swirls around us with loved ones!  The sense of balance and good feeling we have when we partner with the Lord in gentleness is His Spirit inside of us giving us pleasure, just as He is receiving pleasure when we share His fruit with others.  It is a part of our reward for allowing this to develop in our life.  Every time we partner with Him to develop those fruits, He will give us a sense of well-being on those areas. 

1 Peter 3:4 NKJV

…rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

HEARD:  Need a friend.  Cuddle.  Vine hugger.  Are you running away?

PIX:  I saw my grandson cuddling and leaning into his sister who is about 16 months younger than him.  He has such a light and fun loving heart and just loves TOUCH.  Sometimes his passion is too rough for his sister!  And she squawks, but also rolls with the punches and keeps pressing into him too!

PIX:  I saw a bowling ball lane.

HEARD:  Straight and narrow.  Press in.  Advance.  Follow through.

Matt 7:13-14

"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.  14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

IMPRESSION:  I had the form and movement of a bowler come to mind as they press their bodies forward to move and advance, and then follow through with their arm as they release the ball down the lane. 

QUICKENED MEMORY:  We just went through the season of the Basilisk, which is a 3 week window of time that Bob Jones was told about years ago.  A principality reigns during that time, especially over Jewish history.  It means “in dire straits” or “between the straights.”

RIDDLE:  Hall treatments are straight and narrow places.  One of the clichés I used to say is that God wants to give us “treats” not “treatments.”  In this season of dire straights, there has been some problems in how people are touching one another too roughly.  The way to overcome evil in this season is to behave with a Spirit of Gentleness.  Continue to love and touch those you love and the Lord will work out the misunderstandings!  We have suffered passing through a very narrow season of a lot of warfare and resistance.  He has been our Fierce Protector during this time as we have humbled ourselves and remained gentle in His hands.

Rom 12:17-18, 21 NKJV

Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men… Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

QUOTE BOB JONES

During the 1997 vision of Basilisk, Bob saw this prince of darkness approaching land between two bridges utilizing the winds bringing plagues, viruses and natural disasters causing considerable misery. It was revealed in the vision and confirmed through Jewish literature that this evil spirit prevails during a certain season of the year. This season is called Bein Ha'm'tarim by the Jewish writers.

This term means "between the straits" or "dire straits". This season is a three-week cycle beginning on the 17th of Tammuz extending until the 9th of Av in the Judaic calendar. It is a time when this spirit is prevalent even predominant when unchallenged by the authority of Christ given to the Church through His shed blood. This high level authority cannot be combated individually but must be engaged through corporate united intercessory prayer.
