Overcoming the Fog

PRE-SERVICE PRAYER MEETING: 12/09/06 OVERCOMING THE FOG

PIX: During prayer I saw a light in a lighthouse. Every time it would circle around to the ocean, it would turn on with a penetrating light ray, casting a straight line out into the dark and foggy night.

INTERP: It was quickened to me that when we are experiencing a foggy time of perceiving the Word of the Lord, we wait upon Him as He circles around, bringing confirmations and reminders of what He has said or is saying. Each time He brings His Word as a reminder, it is like a straight light ray - an arrow pointing the clear way through the fog. “This is the way, walk in it.”

CONFIRMATION: In quiet time after pre-prayer, pastor shared that he heard the Lord say that He would be blowing away the fog.

CONFIRMATION: Pastor later preached on keeping the Lord's benefits in remembrance like memorials. I realized that when the Lord circles around His Words, bringing confirmations to us, that He is keeping them into remembrance, and reminding us to do so too. When we keep in remembrance the times He has ministered to us, it IS like the light ray on a foggy night.

Ps 103:1-2 NKJV

Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits.

QUICKENED MEMORY: Sometime this month I heard the line of this song: Won't you guide my sleigh tonight! That was the Christmas song where Rudolph was given a bright shiny red nose and he was called to lead the team during the foggy night.

WORD TO PONDER: POINTING THE WAY THROUGH THE FOG 12/09/06

When you are experiencing a foggy time of understanding my Word and direction in your life, wait upon Me and I will circle around and pick you up. I will bring you confirmations and reminders of what I have said and pierce your way with clarity. The light of revelation shall come to the surface of your understanding like an arrow pointing a clear way through the fog. Before you know it, you shall have a straight line into your future saying, “This is the way, walk in it.”

Isa 63:13 NKJV

Who led them through the deep, as a horse in the wilderness, that they might not stumble?"

Deut 8:2-3 NKJV

And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness , to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.

Ps 77:11-12 NKJV

I will remember the works of the LORD; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old. I will also meditate on all Your work, and talk of Your deeds.
