RHEMA 12/09/09 TREAT ONE ANOTHER WITH LOVING RESPECT
PIX: I saw an angel sitting at a
school desk, with several bolts of fabric material.
I had the feeling that the angel was unable to do
anything with this new material until something was
taken care of. I sensed the angel was saddened in some
way and this perplexed me.
HEARD: Sober up. Why does it feels so bad?
Let them begin. A way to follow through without harm.
Matt 7:12 NKJV
Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do
also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Matt 22:37-40 NKJV
Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God
with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all
your mind.' 38 This is the first and great
commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'You shall
love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 On these two
commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets ."
UPDATE 12/21/09: Someone emailed me today and
asked me what “boomerang” meant.
PARABLE: WOW TURBO SNAKE
The kids love to wash their hands in Grammy’s sink.
They both have 2 stools and bubbles and can spend an
hour in there! I noticed in the process that our sink
backs up and is draining slowly. So I bought Wayne a
$10
Turbo Snake gizmo at Wallmart to help unclog the
sink. This was supposed to be a BD present so he
wouldn’t have to get underneath the sink and take it
apart.
As soon as we got home from his BD lunch, I could hardly
wait to try it! Sure enough, in less than a minute I
had it out of the package and inserted through the side
hole in the drain plug. I could only put the wire in
about 4 inches and it got stuck. I twirled it a couple
times and pulled it out. WOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The
ugliest clog of hair and toothpaste slime suddenly
appeared. It was GROSS. So I put it in again and this
time it went down about 12 inches and I pulled out
another glob. Wow what a tool.
As I pondered this and recent events in my own life, I
saw the parable that sometimes our pipes get clogged
with shed, dead, old stuff like hair balls. When we are
trying to wash away things that occasionally come up in
our relationships, sometimes repeated old offenses start
to back up and clog up and finally stop up.
PRAYER: Lord forgive us for the many times we
all have repeated the same offenses through out the
years in our relationships. We ask that You will help
us get to the root of the problem and pull the decaying
and rotten globs up and out in Jesus Name. Grant us
grace to free our pipes from past debri and open to Your
cleansing flow. Thank You Lord for washing us with Your
forgiveness and mercy, for we all have sinned and come
short of You.
Your foundational rule in the earth is that whatever we
want men to do to us, we are to do to them. Please
reinforce this reminder into our lives. Grant us grace
to mature and no longer go to old childish behaviors.
Grant us Your love for all we relate to and may we
always live to be Your peacemakers in Jesus Name.
Matt 5:9 NKJV
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called
sons of God.
Matt 7:12 NKJV
Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do
also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
Matt 22:37-40 NKJV
Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God
with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all
your mind.' 38 This is the first and great
commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'You shall
love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 On these two
commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets ." |
