RHEMA 3/02/13 HOPE: BEAUTY FOR ASHES IS BUDDING
PIX:
I saw a little tree with reddish leaves budding out
about 1 inch or so.
We used to have a flaming Ash tree and I felt the buds I
saw were such. However that tree is only flaming red in
autumn, time for death to self and preparation for
deeper roots of winter.
Isa 61:2-3 AMP
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord [the year of
His favor] and the day of vengeance of our God, to
comfort all who mourn, To grant [consolation and joy] to
those who mourn in Zion—to give them an ornament (a
garland or diadem) of
beauty instead of ashes,
the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment
[expressive] of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and
failing spirit—that they may be called oaks of
righteousness [lofty, strong, and magnificent,
distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right
standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He
may be glorified.
QUICKENED COMMENTS Jane Hamon: Year of Beauty From
Ashes 3/07/13
...the Lord your God turned the curse into a blessing
for you because the Lord your God loves you. Deuteronomy
23:5-6
Unrelenting disappointment leaves you heartsick, but a
sudden good break can turn life around. Proverbs 13:12
(MSG)
A Turn Around Year!
This will be a year of tremendous turn-around for those
who are aligning themselves to the purposes of God and
who are obeying His voice.
It is a year where God will give us beauty for our ashes,
the oil of joy for our grief and mourning, and the
garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (see
Isaiah 61:3).

ASHES 9/11/01
As I watched the symbols of world-wide commerce fall
into a plumb of ashes… as I saw people running from the
ash ‘bomb’ and suddenly overcome as it swept past them…
as I watched fire trucks plow through ashes… as I
watched survivors board buses, literally caked white in
ashes, I was reminded of these scriptures:
"I had heard about you before, but now I have seen you
with my own eyes. I take back everything I said, and I
sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance." (Job 42:6
NLT)
“Job’s final statement was not unlike Psalm 102 where it
says, “I eat ashes instead of my food. My tears run down
into my drink because of your anger and wrath.

QUOTE BOB JONES - ASHES OF RENEWAL
{From article called “The Lord’s Heart For
Intercession” from Bob Jones and Keith Davis - April
15, 1999. http://www.bobjones.org/}
“…They will be able to extinguish portions of these
fires as their prayers become heavenly "precipitation".
The Lord told Bob that the fires cannot be stopped,
however, we can prevent them from occurring all at one
time and their effects can be curtailed. These are
spiritual fires that will be verified by natural fires.
The Lord instructed Bob to announce to the church, "DO
NOT FAINT AT THIS TIME FOR THE FIRES WILL LEAVE THE
ASHES OF RENEWAL." These events are part of the
preparation in righteousness necessary for the coming
harvest. Beware when they say peace and prosperity for
that is when sudden destruction will come…”

SEPARATION AND ASHES 1/01/04
As the years of shaking mount, even as the birth pangs
of a travailing woman, I AM drawing all things to a
climax. That which belongs to Me will be separated unto
Me and purified. That which does not belong to Me will
be increasingly warned, lest they be separated from Me
for eternity.
The fuller’s soap and the refiner’s fire have one thing
in common… ashes. The refiner’s fire burns the dross and
leaves the ashes. Fuller’s soap is made from ashes and
oil. It is the ashes of repentance that cleanses soiled
garments. Lay low, bowing your heart in humility before
Me. I will mix the blood of My Son, and the oil of the
Holy Spirit with the ashes of your life and offer
mercy. I will restore your losses and join you forever
with Me.
Those that stand proud and defiant, hardening their
hearts with willful sinning, will receive judgment.
Judgment is My last option before eternal separation.
Those that leave Me no other choice, I will judge. Even
in judgment I love with an everlasting love. All things
are coming to harvest. My house will be full before the
door is shut.
Mal 3:2,3
But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall
stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's
fire, and like fullers' soapAnd he shall sit as a
refiner and purifer of silverand he shall purify the
sons of Levi, and purge them as gold

AMONG THE CINDERS IS ROYALTY 8/10/06
I see My dear ones working so hard. Many are working in
the fireplaces of life, shoveling heavy loads and for
little thanks or pay. Covered in ashes, with heavy
hearts they continue to serve. Oh how I love these
hidden servants of great honor! My blood runs through
their veins and I earnestly seek them to give them rest.
I have your shoe, the one made just for you in the palm
of My hand. When I knock on your door, will you give Me
your foot? The walk that I have prepared for you is
transparent royalty. You will find that as I slip your
foot into place, that the eyes of your understanding
will transform your life, your walk and your identity
into the royalty that you really are. Suddenly you will
see My purpose in all that you do, and the cinders will
change from ashes into diamonds as you discover the
secrets of Who you are in Me.
Est 4:1-2 & Est 8:15-16 NKJV
When Mordecai learned all that had happened, he tore his
clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out
into the midst of the city. He cried out with a loud and
bitter cry. He went as far as the front of the king's
gate, for no one might enter the king's gate clothed
with sackcloth.... So Mordecai went out from the
presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white,
with a great crown of gold and a garment of fine linen
and purple; and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was
glad. The Jews had light and gladness, joy and honor.
Isa 61:2-3 NKJV
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day
of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to
console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for
ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness.
RHEMA 3/14/13 BEAUTY, HOPE AND RAINBOWS IN THE VALLEY
OF ASHES
HEARD:
Purpose for waiting on the Lord.
Yes they had a fire. It’s OK now.
Ashes, there is beauty coming. There is hope in the
valley. A life can flow again. Rainbow person. Fine
dining.
PRAYER:
Thank You Lord for Your amazing Words of promise and
pouring water upon our dry hope. We are confident that
beauty is coming from our ashes and we will be
surrounded by Your rainbow of hope and glory all the
days of our lives.
