RHEMA 8/23/09  HAVE TO WORK?  STAY SIMPLE

DREAM:  I had a dream where my housecleaner and I were working on my house and we were supposed to stay simple and take it one step at a time.  I was doing one tiny project as I was able to each day and then saved time for my other responsibilities.

INSERT RHEMA 7/25/09  OFF TO WORK

HEARD:  Hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work we go.  Progress.  That room’s changed and that room is in the process. 

PARABLE:  After having suffered greatly in a painful flare for 15 months, it began to break away in August.  I spent all of August going through every drawer, closet and shelf in our home.  I re-organized everything in boxes, putting like things with like.  Now everything has a place and I know where everything is.  It is an amazing "settled into synch" feeling.  I have thanked the Lord each day for the grace and health to do this, and for the reward of how good it feels to live in orderliness again. 

The past couple days I have felt that this was a prophetic act, walking out the fact that the Lord is going to transplant and move people, their gifts, tools and functions into place.  And they will find purpose and establishment simply by being planted in a place that is available should they be called upon.  It will make life function more simply just to be moved into place. 

The Lord gave me a Word for the Day of Atonement for the year 2009.  It was about being thrust out and then searching for a new place.  I feel this organizing parable is the second part of that word.

One thing about putting things in boxes, it makes for safe boundaries.  Those tools that are in that box, if they don’t belong there, they will be moved out to the right place.  And those tools that belong, will be moved in. 

Moving can be a good thing when we know it is the Lord moving us.  With every move, there is change.  And with every change there is growth as we lean upon Him to make the right decisions.

RHEMA 8/26/09  MY HOUSE IN ORDER

HEARD:  Organized.  My house is in order. 

2 Chron 29:35-36 NKJV

So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order . 36 Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced that God had prepared the people, since the events took place so suddenly.
