RHEMA 3/28/08  BALANCE YOUR BOAT IN THE STORM

HEARD:  I AM keeping you.  Balanced living.

EXPERIENCE:  Something in my soul and spirit changed today.  I felt delivered of something and was filled with hope about my circumstances, the first in a very long time.  I had sent a note out to my prayer team for extra prayer.  And I found out that someone had put my name in the box at their church called the Hope Chest.  That surged through me like a beautiful blessing wave. 

In my youth I had a hope chest.  It was an old trunk found in the attic of my great grandparents home.  Anna restored it for me and we filled with little blessings of that some day wedding.  Years later by the time my soul was craving to get married and no husband in sight, I used to joke and call it my hopeless chest. I said it many times over.  Sometime this winter when I went through a personal storm, the Lord brought that memory back to me.  I repented of speaking that word hopeless and asked the Lord to restore any lost hope I had suffered in my personal storm. 

Tonight I had an anointed day dream of being healed and then spending his healing anointing to make house calls to pray for the sick because I know what it is like to live house bound for years and years and years in my husband’s life, in my life and our married life.  As I was praying into these things with a surge of hope in my heart of what it would be like when the Lord heals us.... I suddenly  saw:

VISION:  I saw some of our largest 22 ounce glasses being set up in a straight line along our kitchen counter.  The first 2 glasses had been freshly filled brim to the top.  The rest of the glasses were being lined up and they had not yet been filled.

[The number 22 means light made manifest.]

HEARD:  Issues of the heart.  Stand by.  Plain speech.  Already filled with hope and dreams.

HEARD:  Think about guarding what you say, for out of it springs forth the issues of life. 

Prov 10:11 NKJV

The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

Prov 16:21-24  NKJV

The wise in heart will be called prudent, and sweetness of the lips increases learning.   Understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it. But the correction of fools is folly.  The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.  Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

WORD TO PONDER  BALANCE YOUR WORDS TOWARDS LIFE  3/28/08

When the storms rage in your soul and when your circumstances press you beyond your limits... I understand it is very hard to know My way and My Word.  Consider just one Word and see how you might adjust:  BALANCE. 

I want to balance your boat beloved one.  The storms press to tip you over.  But I use all things, even the waves in your life to help you see what you need to do to help you balance your load.  Simply shift more to the right, more up, more down.  Do whatever your heart is already telling you to let go of in dead weight that tips you off kilter.  Do whatever you need to do to move in the “right”eous direction.  Speak less “down talk and more “up” talk.  Expect to get better and speak My Word into your circumstances and watch the power of the spoken Word and the power of positive confessions.  The storms will always shout that you do not have a choice.  But I say you DO.  Cast your vote and speak peace, life, abundance over your body, over your soul, over your spirit.  Speak abundance in My Name.  Beloved, turn your storm today, and adjust your course.

Mark 4:38-41 NKJV

... Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?"  Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace , be still!" And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. But He said to them, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?"
