The Lord’s Hand on School Teachers

StudentsAndTeacher
May the Lord Most High keep His powerful hand upon our school teachers
in this coming year. May He minister to them their importance in our culture
and bless them for giving of themselves to our children. May He protect them
and make them righteously effective beyond all logical measures for the
children’s future and the future of our nation.

“…They are to give good counsel and be teachers of what is
right and noble,” (Titus 2:3, Amp)

Better Than True North

TrueNorthGod, His purposes and God’s Word will never change. They are truer than true north and more certain than directions on a compass. If we know His Word and His purposes in this season of history, there is no reason to give up or concede defeat at any level. 2Co 4:7  “…We carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives. That’s to prevent anyone from confusing God’s incomparable power with us. As it is, there’s not much chance of that. You know for yourselves that we’re not much to look at. We’ve been surrounded and battered by troubles, but we’re not demoralized; we’re not sure what to do, but we know that God knows what to do; we’ve been spiritually terrorized, but God hasn’t left our side; we’ve been thrown down, but we haven’t broken” (The  Message). I recently heard a Navy Seal say that one of their basic doctrines they go into battle with is: the only way you can be defeated is to give up or be dead. Circumstances do not determine who we are or what we know. They may affect our attitude or willingness but we still make the choices regardless. We may be bewildered for a few days but Who we know and who we are will get us through the bewildering places and times.

Dreams Stirring to Action

StirringToActionAn intercessor told me of her recent strategic dream.  She knew she was to go to the other side of a lake; so she took off swimming.  There was someone swimming alongside her.  (She did not know who.)  They got to the other side but then a current started pulling her to the left toward some rocky rapids.  The current carried her over the rocks.  She then went to her mother to help her find whomever she had been separated from in the lake.

This intercessor experienced something similar to the time Jesus told the disciples to go to the other side of the lake yet a force of nature challenged their obedience.  Under mandate of her gift and calling, her instructions were to move into position on the other side of the lake.  However, a deep undertow, was pulling her to the left.  Left often, as in this case, symbolizes the past or the unauthorized direction.    

Rapids are defined as a place of fast current flowing over an obstructed surface.  This left or “past” direction and fast, rough place is a picture of hard experiences from her past.  (Re-living memories is always a much faster pace than when we actually walked them out.)  That unseen pulling force is a vivid picture of inner emotions.  Memories of hard times usually carry strong emotions.  We feel that we cannot do anything but go with the flow of our feelings, especially if they are based in unforgettable experience.  But those emotions can distract from obedience and divide our hearts.  The one she’d left behind was herself.  Part of her was ready to position for purpose, but part of her was pulled by emotions and memories that challenged the position of NOW obedience.

The encouraging thing was that the rapids were not as difficult as she feared.  She flowed  safely to resolve and healing.  Then she immediately sought out her mother, (which is often a symbol of the Holy Spirit in dreams) to help her get back in position and get to the task at hand.

Since this precious lady is a chief intercessor in her local church, I believe the dream is more than personal.  It is a strategic insight to know what those in the Body are facing as they transition into position for Kingdom purposes.  She can intercede effectually knowing that the emotion of past experiences is being stirred up to distract and divide the heart of individuals.  She can believe God to resolve the old hurts and apprehensions and agree with God that His Word and instructions will be stronger in them than the pull of past experience.  Also, she can declare the undertow is now under-foot and defeated!

Father has good plans for His purpose in us and He has a strategy to position and condition us to walk them out.  Watch for dreams and visions to be one of the many ways He stirs us to action in this time of transition.

Covered in the Warranty

LIfeTimeWarranty
God Himself created the original warranty when Jesus took those stripes on His back (Isa. 53:5 & 1 Pe. 2:24). Yeah, that’s right, we have a never ending warranty on us, signed in blood. This warranty includes, “…all things that pertain unto life and godliness” (2 Pt. 1:3).  Whatever you are dealing with is covered in your “warranty”. It’s fixable!  The siege is over because the Lord has already lifted up a standard against it (Is. 59:19).  Our individual lives are about the greater good so go ahead and be healed right now! You are too important to be silenced by sickness, pain, or emotional turmoil.

Instruction on the Threshold of Change

Empty room with a open doorWe received a call to pray for some ministers who were at a threshold of change and in need of direction.  That night Marty and I both had strategic dreams specifically for those ministers.  That had never happened before.  In my dream, Marty and I were in a car with one of the ministers who was driving.  The road we were on was one of the back-road highways in our county.  When water started coming up over the road, I was able to give the driver instructions that would lead to another highway that was safe.  When I awoke, I realized the waters represented troubling circumstances that meant the ministers would be wise to take another road before they reached a dangerous cross current in the path they were traveling.  In a vision, I then saw from an aerial view, a map of my region.  That map became instructions for a way out for the ministers.  Each intersection on the map symbolized a choice they would soon face.  Making a “right” turn would take them to a town whose name meant a place of refreshing and resource.  Making another “right” turn would take them between the court house and some antique stores.  That signified they would be dealing with legalism and traditionalism for a time.  But, they would then be on their way to their original destination.  The place they were headed was a place of rest and apostolic networking that the Holy Spirit brought to remembrance from another dream.  In Marty’s dream, water was rising dangerously also and he was warning people to move out away from a lake.  In his dream the emphasis was timing.  There was a window of time to move before circumstances became overwhelming.

Confronting Elements of Dreams With Prayer

MoonCloudsDreamTo open the understanding of the symbolism of Buddha to the boy who had the dream, I explained that people who believe in Buddha believe that you have to give offerings to “make merit.”  That means they believe you earn favor from Buddha because of giving gifts and behaving a particular way. You get merits for good behavior so that you will deserve acceptance and favor and protection from Buddha.  That element of the dream revealed that his friend was upset either because she had messed up or fears she will mess up and God won’t bless her or accept her or protect her, etc.  That misbelief that her acceptance and righteousness are based on her performance has her troubled and fearing failure. Understanding the conflict in his friend’s heart gave him strategy for intercession in her behalf.  Just encouraging him to realize that the Holy Spirit will bring him strategic dreams about people and situations so he can confront it with prayer is an awesome awareness for his future and fulfillment of his purpose.

Right Questions Are Key

HandOnKey
Those aforementioned questions are the kind of questions that lead down a path of deliverance, healing, and action.  When we ask the right questions we are able to hear the answers we need.  When we ask fear-based questions we have already come to the wrong, statistic-based, society-experienced conclusions.  These soulish conclusions make it really hard to hear a Spirit answer.  So, a good place to start asking the right question is to ask the Holy Spirit, “What questions should I be asking about this situation?” He will tell you, and most of the time these questions carry the answer in them.  The right questions are a key to unlock doors and chains.  The right questions give you the right perspective.

Training For New Norms

StudentsTeacherA twelve-year-old boy I spoke with recently received a word of knowledge in a dream about what was troubling his friend as well as a word of wisdom that gave strategy to address it.  Those gifts of the Spirit activated in his dream are marks of a new norm for him.  Rather than a random one-time experience, those gifts are already active in him for his lifetime purpose.  His dream started with a black dog and a white dog.  That setting indicates a conflict in the soul, the black dog (which represents negative or wrong thoughts and feelings) was bigger than the white dog (which symbolizes right thinking and feelings and behavior.)   In the dream he heard someone say that his friend was crying and upset because someone had brought a Buddha into her life. This twelve-year-old did not know dogs can refer to the soul in symbolism.  I doubt he even had a working definition for the word “soul.” It is also highly likely he had no knowledge of the culture and beliefs of Buddhism.  Yet these symbolic elements were in his dream, so that reveals the need for training and equipping him for new norms in dreaming in the future.

Asking The Right Questions

ThinkingLookingUp
Now that it is settled that (1) you are not junk, (2) You have not messed up your “one shot”, and (3) you do not have to live with sickness and pain, let’s step back to get an even bigger view, and ask the right questions:  

– So, due to the above stated facts, is what I am going through right now because of what I carry and NOT because I have been forgotten? 
– Is this physical issue I’m dealing with simply the poison being pulled to the top so that I can be delivered of a long-cycling issue? 
– Is this heaviness from the war in the atmosphere, and I carry the words to change that?

Speaking Bible Truth

GroupTalking
As the people of God assemble today, may they be of one heart and one mind to hear the
truths of God in His Word and to “speak the same thing” that the Holy Bible declares so
that the truths of God Most High, that represent His character and that bless and give life,
may not be considered arguable by regional or culturally preferential viewpoints.

“Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak
the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined
together in the same mind and in the same judgment.” (1Cor.1:10, NKJV) 


Open Doors You Have not Even Imagined

Open doors
Recently, while ministering in another city, we were staying in a hotel. The second day I happened to notice the slip cover for the room key. On the front it said “Doors are opening that you have not even imagined.” May the Lord work His wonders to open doors that have not even entered the imagination of His people for His Kingdom purposes.

“[ Pray for Open Doors ] Pray diligently…” (Col.4:2, Msg)

Character For Order

SunCrop
The “THY” of “Thy Kingdom” redeems a person, redeems a thing to bring them back to their path to God’s original intent (Kathy G.). Creation is groaning for the manifestation of the sons of God who will be manifest in the character of the “THY” of “Thy Kingdom” so that it can get back to its intended order. His character observed in His sons identifies them as His sons to people, to powers and to principalities. May we be so full of the character of this awesome “THY” that no demon ever need ask, “Jesus I know and Paul I know, but who are you?” (Acts 19:15; also Eph.3:10).

Here To Make A Difference

HelpingOthers
Having a relationship with the King is an eye-opener: You are not junk.  You have not messed up your fictitious “one shot”.  You do not have to live with sickness and pain.  You most certainly DO have something to deposit where you are and where He takes you.  You/we are here for a purpose beyond occupying space and time.  You are here to make a difference.  There is healing in knowing this!

Redemptive Character Resolves Issues

RainbowOverCity
Opportunities for redemptive acts, for releasing the character of the “THY” of “Thy Kingdom” are everywhere everyday. Redemptive character does not look for opportunity to take advantage but looks for a way to get others out of the path of destruction. Redemptive character gives and plays a part in the resolve of the issue or need. It does whatever it takes to heal. It puts itself on the line, just like Jesus, in order to bring back the captives from destruction and set them free.

The Original Warranty

warranty
God simply does not produce junk.  He didn’t create humanity with only “one shot” to make it a good life, so “you better not mess up” or get sick in the process or “your life is over”.  In fact, God Himself created the original warranty when Jesus took those stripes on His back (Isa. 53:5 & 1 Pe. 2:24). Yeah, that’s right, we have a never ending warranty on us, signed in blood. This warranty includes, “…all things that pertain unto life and godliness” (2 Pe. 1:3).  We have in us what we need right now, at this moment in time, for ourselves AND for our nation.  Dare I even say, for the world.  We have it because we have a relationship with Jesus Christ which opens us up to be a floodgate of Heaven on earth.

Redemptive Intervention

ClassroomHere is yet another possibility for a redemptive act. A pastor and his congregation are continually looking for ways to be involved in their community. They work with law enforcement and with local schools and tutor children after school in a facility that the church has rented just for that purpose. They are very trusted by the local schools. Occasionally a school will ask the pastor (who is also a businessman in the community) to please come and deal with a classroom that has gotten out of control and it is typically because of one child that has gotten out of hand. He will walk into the room, ask the Lord for discernment and wisdom and love. He then takes the errant child aside and simply has a father-like talk with them and lets them know he is for them and they can count on him. Teachers and school officials are very glad he is on their team.

Redemptive Tip

LeaveTip
A redemptive act may be giving a $20.00 tip and a kind word
to a waitress under a heavy load of family problems after a
mean-spirited customer cussed her out for no good reason
and left her an 11 cent tip.

Your Home #22 – May your home be a place where people dwell on the good report.

“Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating
on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst;
the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you
learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes
everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.” (Phil.4:8-9, Msg)

Redeeming Property

For Sale
A redemptive act may be buying a piece of property that has been used for pornography or human trafficking or manufacturing illegal drugs, then taking that property and using it to help addicts get delivered or using it as a home for abandoned children. It has been done several times across the nation.

Your days are not determined by your genes or your DNA. Your days are not determined by how long your grandma lived or didn’t live. Your days are not determined by a diagnosis or a prognosis. Your days are dependent upon the purpose of God that you were born with. You came out of your momma’s womb with purpose.

The Giant And The Stone

StoneSlingshotThough the giant loomed large in the valley (1Sam.17:3-4), God had sent a shepherd boy over the top of the hill for the purpose of going down into that valley. An army did not take out the giant. A small smooth stone from an ordinary shepherd’s sling was all it took to end the giant’s career.
Something very ordinary ordained by God to be applied in a unique circumstance turned the tide for a nation. The faithful God of Israel still does business the same way He always has.
