RHEMA 6/03/08  TRAINED AND YOKED FOR AUTHORITY

Heard: What memory are we talking about?

PIX:  I saw a lady dusting a window sill with a feather duster. 

Heard: Sifted.  Wound.  To learn your lesson.  Storm dissipated. 

Heard: Lessen learned.  Committed.  Obedient. 

OBEDIENCE

2 Cor 2:9-10 NKJV

 For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.

Phil 2:5-11 NKJV

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Heard: Weapon.  Mighty to the pulling down of strongholds. 

2 Cor 10:3-6  NKJV

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

HEARD: But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles.

Isa 40:28-31 NKJV

Have you not known?Have you not heard?The everlasting God, the LORD,The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. 29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, 31 But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

HEARD:  While you were yet young, I led you and taught you to submit.  And now, equally yoked. 

PIX:  I saw a wooden yoke that holds 2 oxen together in a common walk.

Heard;  Together.  As one. 

WORD TO PONDER:  TRAINED AND YOKED FOR AUTHORITY 6/03/08

When you were young, I allowed demonic invasions in your life to train you how to be obedient to My Word.  Siftings came and went according to your stubborn need to learn your lessons. You have learned your lessons well, My love.  And in so doing, I still your storms and renew your strength to mount up and overcome. 

Even as you have submitted and lowered yourself to My will and gone through death to your will, I will exalt you by putting all demonic names under your feet.  They will bow and submit to the authority I place in your life.

I will teach you the power and authority of the weapon of obedience. Obedience to Me is mighty  to the pulling down of strongholds.  Remain committed to the path of obedience, dear one.  Obedience is walking in synch with Me, as an equally yoked partner in the Spirit.  It is taking My yoke upon your shoulders.  We are teamed together like a pair of oxen, plowing difficult territory with ease.  We will walk together as one.

2 Cor 10:3-6  NKJV

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
