Pre-service prayer  9/22/07  REDEEMED FROM FEELING DISQUALIFIED

VISION:  During prayer I saw a silver trumpet blowing and a sheet of silver rain came from heaven.  Then I saw a seed that had been either dormant, dead or delayed break through its shell, through the dark ground and sprout into new life. 

INTERPRETATION:  Silver means to purchase or redeem.  I felt that the Lord was announcing that He would redeem His Words that had been planted and were laying dead, dormant or delayed due to the mistakes of men, and that He would rain upon them and bring them to life and they were destined to bring forth good fruit.

CONFIRMATION;  Another intercessor shared the following quote that someone had sent to them this week:  "He does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called."

CONFIRMATION QUICKENED STORY:  When I got home from prayer, I downloaded the following story from a friend:  "A workman was telling me of something that he saw on his job site.  The area where he was working had just recently been paved with 4 inches of asphalt.  Just the other day he noticed bumps in this newly laid surface.  He broke open one of these lumps and found a mushroom.  There were many of them coming up through the 4 inches of asphalt.  It was hard for him to believe that something so soft could push its way through something so solid.   He told me that you could not push through that hard surface if you wanted to, but these mushrooms were coming through just fine.  He said that if you stepped on them they would crush, and yet they were pushing their way through this hard surface.  God is amazing.

As we stand in our weakness under insurmountable obstacles our God is making a way through what seems impossible.  I have heard many people refer to themselves and felt so myself like a mushroom in a cave.  God is breaking through using an impossibly soft tool, us - as we stand in His presence and upon His word inspite of what we see."

1 Cor 1:26-31 NKJV

For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called.  But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God — and righteousness and sanctification and redemption —  that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the LORD."  

Confirmation:  When I got home and posted this Word, Grandma Anna wrote and said they had prayed almost the exact same Words in their own home town prayer meeting tonight.
