rhema 5/23/09  WASHED WITHIN GOD’S DIVINE BOUNDARIES

WAYNE’S VISION:  Wayne had a vision of the ocean waves breaking at the edge of the sand.  Instead of breaking one at a time when coming towards the beach, they were all rolling over at the same place next to the dry sand.  It was as though an invisible boundary had been set up where the waves simply tumbled over and stayed in the same place. 

The waves were stirring and he saw all of these grains of gold and silver that were being washed out of the sand.  It was like panning for gold where the sand is washed away and the gold is left. 

WAYNE HEARD:  I am washing you out.

Ps 104:6-9  NKJV

The waters stood above the mountains.  At Your rebuke they fled;  At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.   They went up over the mountains;  They went down into the valleys,  To the place which You founded for them.   You have set a boundary that they may not pass over,  that they may not return to cover the earth.  

Jer 5:22  AMP

Do you not fear and reverence Me? says the Lord. Do you not tremble before Me? I placed the sand for the boundary of the sea, a perpetual barrier beyond which it cannot pass and by an everlasting ordinance beyond which it cannot go? And though the waves of the sea toss and shake themselves, yet they cannot prevail [against the feeble grains of sand which God has ordained by nature to be sufficient for His purpose]; though [the billows] roar, yet they cannot pass over that [barrier]. [Is not such a God to be reverently feared and worshiped?] 

WORD TO PONDER:  WASHING FOR THE GOLD AND SILVER  5/23/09

Precious one, even when your life is tumbling over and over and you feel you have no control, remember that I alone have set the boundaries of what touches your life.  The gold and silver is Mine.  The sons of Levi have gone through the refiner’s fire and now I AM plunging them into My cool waters for refreshing and cleansing.  Among the nations, I AM washing My people so only what is lasting and precious remains.  It is My good work and I do this as your loving Father Who is both kind and severe.

Rom 11:22  NLT

Notice how God is both kind and severe. He is severe to those who disobeyed, but kind to you as you continue to trust in his kindness.

Mal 3:2-3

"But who can endure the day of His coming?  And who can stand when He appears?  For He is like a refiner's fire   And like launderers' soap.   He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver;  He will purify the sons of Levi ,  And purge them as gold and silver,  That they may offer to the LORD  An offering in righteousness.
