RHEMA 11/10/11 PUNCHLINES:  LESS IS MORE

I have cut down on the volume of emails from the QW instead of daily.    I received 3 confirmations to this today, one saying that not everyone has the same appetite for God's Word.  Another mentioned making posts shorter and more to the point so they are more effective.  For years I have been sharing all my rhema in a longer step by step process in an effort to teach others how to fish instead of just handing them the fish.  The summaries and/or interpretations are in the Words to Ponders.  I have been practicing this on my personal Facebook posts.  Today I turned with anointed hands (AH) to the following Word to Ponder. 

LESS IS MORE  2/05/07

I AM establishing a filter, a barrier of separation that sends you to the ones who are hungry and receptive for what I have given for you to share.  This will cost you less stress and energy.  It is a consolidation of your time, energy, gifts, contacts and influence.  In so doing, your effectiveness shall increase, the strain on your life will reduce and all will receive more through you from less spent.  Sounds good, yes?

You will sense the hungry, like a magnet drawn upon your heart and also the one in need of what you have will be a magnet.  Go where My magnet “draws” you and I shall also “draw” others to you in the same.  Through this drawing, you will be able to perceive My filter working, and that will give you discernment to separate the demonic traps from the wrong places.

Along the same lines, what you are willing to let go of and die to, means a greater increase later on.  Allow Me access to filter what these are in your life, and it will mean less pain, energy and cost in the letting go process.

Matt 8:2-3 NKJV

And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing , You can make me clean."  Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing ; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

John 5:6  NKJV

When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"

UPDATE CONFIRMATION PAUL KEITH DAVIS 12/31/11:  He said today at the New Year's conference that he waited on the Lord for 3 weeks and he heard, "Less is more."  PK said "You can do more done with less effort.  One small Word that is genuinely anointed is a whole lot better than a whole message that has no anointing at all." 

WORD TO PONDER: PUNCHLINES AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT  11/10/11

I have created My children each with their own unique personalities and styles of learning.  Some are goal oriented - headline readers where they pick out the main themes and scan for punchlines.  Some are detail oriented and only find their way by experiencing the details and the journey at hand.  Some learn through listening to stories and watching how others live their lives.  Some learn through collecting facts and generating their own ideas. 

The truth is that in the days of acceleration knowledge will increase and the plethora of information now at hand is not just a blessing, but also cumbersome.  In the days of fast drive throughs people are used to eating on the go.  My people have been circling amd wading through details for over 40 years in the wilderness, and they are prepared and ready to get to the point.  They want brevity, they want the point of My message, they want understanding and wisdom and they want My plan.  They are calling out for a clear message that is applicable and moves them to their goal.  The door to clear speech is opened beloved ones.  To whom much is given, much is due.  Are you willing to be accountable with what you are given? 

Luke 12:48 NKJV

For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.

QUICKENED THOUGHTS:  Different strokes for different folks  11/23/11

Men are driven to get to the point and would never conquer the forest if they had to view the trees.  Women would raise ill equipped children if they didnt teach details on how to know and experience the trees in the journey.  However in a world inundated by media, most people are becoming headline readers with trigger happy delete fingers.  How does God reach headline people? 

Jesus spoke through punchline Word of Wisdom to His accusers and they rejected His pointed and cryptic remarks because they didnt want the Truth.  He spoke in stories, riddles and parables to the public and they pondered His meaning falling short of personal application.  It was only those who walked close to Him that He revealed the deeper meaning of each detail, so lovingly placed by His Father's hand.

We want God to speak to us in clear speech, but are we ready to be accountable with what He says?  He has been holding back the intimacy of clear speech because we are not mature enough to apply and obey.  He also withholds the understanding of His gems when we apply only through the grid of flesh and not through His Spirit.  How does God reach headline people?  He makes them very hungry.

SOME LIKE SIMPLE WORDS

PIX 11/29/11:  I was asking someone if they had any brown paper bags, the small size for snacks on the go.

CONFIRMATION:  When I woke I decided to change purses to my brown one and was shocked to find a bunch of paper bags folded nice and neatly inside.  It has been a few years since I used that purse.

QUICKENED CONFIRMATION:  11/29/11  Today Wayne was standing in the kitchen and he said the phrase different strokes for different folks meaning that everyone was different.

QUICKENED EYE GLANCE 11/30/11:  Today on twitter I glanced at one of my old twitters of 5/22/11:   It said, HEARD: How to tell your story. Thumbnail view or Detailed view. You have different audiences. Fellowship. Stick with your children.
