RHEMA 5/25/11 WAITING FOR PAYDAY:  OVERCOMING THE STUMBLING BLOCKS

DREAM:  I was walking beside a minister of the gospel and he was on crutches.  He had a question about the delays and timing of the Lord as to end time power and events and it was something that he was trying to overcome that had been a stumbling block to his faith.

I explained to him that it was the story of the 11th hour "Pay Day" and we just needed to wait for God's calendar and then we would all get paid.

Matt 20:8-10  NKJV

"So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.'  And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.

PAYDAY:  REVELATION ABOUT THE LONG WAIT!  5/08/11 

REVELATION:  For those prophetic people and intercessors who have been hearing and standing for years and waiting for payday.... it suddenly dawned upon me that we dont get paid until the end of the day!!!  The fathers have born the heat of the day.  The children join towards the end and ALL receive the same reward.

Matt 20:1-16

"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.  2 Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.  3 And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,  4 and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.  5 Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.  6 And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?'  7 They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'

"So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.'  9 And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.  10 But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.  11 And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,  12 saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.'  13 But he answered one of them and said, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?  14 Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.  15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?'  16 So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen."

OVERCOMING STUMBLING BLOCKS IN THE WAITING PROCESS

What are we waiting for?  We are waiting for PayDay of our promises and miracles  coming to pass!  We have been given prophetic promises of an endtime anointing that will sweep the earth and we have not let go, and we earnestly contend for these to come to pass. 

All truth is held between the tension of two poles.  There are some issues that we need to sort out about the anointing as to His end times when He pours His Spirit out upon all flesh: 

• We tend to think that we earn the signs and wonders by going through trials and persecutions.  Trials and tribulations is like bearing the burden and heat of the day.  And we do enter the kingdom of God through them.  However these are not payments for entering into His kingdom. 

We tend to think signs and wonders is the same as entering into His kingdom.  Only those who do the will of the Father will enter His kingdom.

Acts 14:22

We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.

Matt 7:21

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

• We tend to think that passing our tests promotes us to new levels of anointing...  (Which is true according to God's justice and grace). 

Luke 16:10

He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much;

However passing our tests is not our cost to earning a new anointing to some level.  (Children will be anointed with the same power!)

• We tend to think that suffering the delay and promises, through earnest contending in the wait... gives us a right to what we have been promised.  Bearing the heat of having to wait does not assure us the manifestation.  Think of the generations who had the same promised and died without experiencing it.

Heb 11:39

And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise.

• We tend to think the working of miracles is by our obedience.  This would seem more just if it were so.  However scripture tells us that many will do wonders in His Name and they will minister unrighteous violations of the laws of His kingdom.

Matt 7:21-23

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.  22 Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?'  23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!'

NT:458  LAWLESSNESS

anomia (an-om-ee'-ah); from NT:459; illegality, i.e. violation of law or (genitive case) wickedness:

KJV - iniquity,  transgress (-ion of) the law, unrighteousness.

WORD TO PONDER INSERTS ABOUT PAYDAY

PAYDAY IS COMING 1/10/97

Understand that all that happens in your life is as timely and ordained as the seasons.  As the blossoms appear on the trees, so that which appears barren in your life will spring forth.

I am giving you a mirror of who you are in Me, and who I am fashioning on earth and in heaven.  You question this, but indeed your heavenly music shall bring My sons to dance.  As you play, they will dance.  You say how can this be seeing I am just a poor country boy?  Remember I did not send a king born in a palace, lavished in gold for others to worship on earth.  Rather I sent a man to live among man, that they would see Him and see Me.  Your wealth is beyond anything earth has to offer.  Pay day is coming.

Wait on Me and for Me, when I am ready, you will be ready.  In My perfect way, I will put every thing together.  I will see to every detail.  I will arrange every circumstance.  I will change every heart.  I will order every step to bring to pass what I have for you.

THE EXPLOSION AND KISS OF MY PRESENCE  3/29/96

When I pour out My Spirit upon you, there will be times when you will feel My tangible Presence and times when you will not feel it.  There are also times when I stir up My Presence inside of you, and you will feel like it is ready to explode any minute.  Sometimes this is in slow motion and you can tell that I AM stirring My anointing inside, and sometimes this is so fast that it explodes just like the rocks crying out!

I love to kiss you with My Presence.  You will notice that the closer I come in proximity, that your heart, your cells, your own spirit and My anointing within you will explode with passion, just like a volcano blows its lid. Sometimes you wonder about My Presence as it ebbs and flows.  I AM building something within you, and I have a plan and a purpose in your life.  Know that Pay day is coming.  All the seeds you have planted will reap a full harvest of great joy and love, so much that you will not be able to contain it.

How precious are the feet of those that carry My good news to a hurting world!  How I long to kiss those feet with My loving embrace and touch.  Like no other generation, I AM giving My children the gift of My tangible Presence. They shall feel My anointing, even as My Son felt virtue leave His body.  My Presence shall lead them, My Presence shall comfort them, My Presence shall embrace them, My Presence shall explode them into places they never thought possible.  I will turn the seeds of their sufferings and sacrifices into a great a beautiful harvest of My love.

“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace, who brings glad tidings of good things, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"  (Isa 52:7 NKJV)
