RHEMA 1/13/12  the costa CONCORDIA sinks

PARABLE:  An Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia sank today.  There were more than 4200 people on the luxury cruise liner when it sank as the captain tried to steer the mammoth ship too close to the shore.

DREAM:  I had a dream a couple days ago:  I was flying in the Spirit through a cruise ship, and I saw people eating in luxury in the dining room.  I saw a massive wall of water coming up to engulf the ship so I escaped and flew away.  When I started to fly I realized I needed to drop my hammer because it was weighing me down.  I could not fly any higher unless I let it go.

Jer 23:29 NKJV

"Is not My word like a fire?" says the Lord, "And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

QUICKENED MEMORY: 

Matt 21:44:  And whoever falls on this stone will be broken; but on whomever it falls, it will grind him to powder."

When I woke it was strongly quickened to me that this was a rich luxury liner that was totally blind, having no idea that a huge wall and flood of water was about to overtake it. This scripture came to mind:

Rev 3:14-21 NKJV

These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:  15 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.  16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.  17 Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing' — and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked —   18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.  19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.  20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.  21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

I felt that the days of hammering in His Word was over for me.  No force necessary in order to get hard hearted ones to hear the warnings of the Lord.  It was a lengthy season of relentless knocking and intercession and it has now closed and over.

MEANING OF CONCORDE:  To be in harmony, agreement, union.

I feel there is a strong parable that those in leadership who cant come into peaceful, agreeable harmony will become shipwrecked.
