RHEMA 2/04/10 WHEN GOD IS SILENT AND WAITS

HEARD:  Volunteers.  Indeed power.

Ps 110:3 NKJV

Your people shall be volunteers  In the day of Your power; In the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the dew of Your youth.

WISDOM:  Love does not coerce.  Sometimes God doesn’t tell us what to do, so that we grow and mature into making the right choice.  Sometimes He withholds on purpose to wait and see what we will do. 

When God is silent, it is time to listen and find out why.

Like for instance being volunteers in our testimonies. 

RHEMA 6/9/02 VOLUNTEER TESTIMONY

DREAM: Bob Jones had come to visit. He prayed over me and started pulling a bunch of enemy darts and arrows and wounds out of me from my belly. Then he touched my mouth with his hand to pray for anointing to speak the Word of the Lord. He loosed my tongue to speak. He said, “Remember you do not have to give your testimony unless you want to.” I understood that there were wounds that are a part of the cost of sharing our testimony.

WORD TO PONDER: VOLUNTEER TESTIMONY 6/9/02
I want you to understand that when you give your testimony, that it is a willing, loving and voluntary sacrifice. The power of your testimony is like throwing a boulder into a quiet lake. The waves and reverberations of such not only reach the far shores, but also make a loud sound sending vibrations into the heavens. In the natural and in the spiritual, everything has a cause and effect. A small earthquake may relieve tension on one side of the world but cause a tidal wave on the other.

And so it is with the power of your testimony. Every testimony has a cost. It honors Me when you give Your testimony. It is not to be feared, but the cost is to be counted. Remember I only want volunteers. You need not tell all, for I will use whatever you give.

“For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it.” (Luke 14:28-29 NKJV)
