COWBOYS ON THE MOVE 

I had a lot of cowboy rhema this month.  Cowboys represent the hunter and fisher angels that are sent out to lasso prodigals and wild ones that were allowed enough rope to run, but then drawn back after a season of wrestlings.

[quote]Jer 16:16-18 NKJV

"Behold, I will send for many fishermen," says the LORD, "and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send for many hunters , and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks. 17 For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes.  [/quote]

RHEMA 7/12/09  WATERING THOSE ON THE WAY SIDE

HEARD:  Another shift.

RHEMA 7/13/09  WRESTLED AND BRANDED

rhema 7/21/09  POINTING TOWARDS THE MISSING HORSE

HEARD:  Shame.  Those guys are running out of time. 

PIX:  I saw a pointing hunting dog on top of a hitching post.  There was no horse hitched to the post.  My impression was that the dog had picked up the scent and was pointing in the direction of the missing horse.

rhema 7/22/09  FINDING THE RUNAWAYS

HEARD:  I need help.  You are running out of time.  Head strong.  Let you do that. 

PIX:  I saw the bottom half of the cowboy angel coming in through a door.  I saw his blue jeans and cowboy boots.

HEARD:  Mighty.  Deliverance.  I love this place. 

LASSOED FOR A PURPOSE  1/1/02 

Beloved ones, for years you have cried for the prodigal children to come home, and cried to Me to shorten their ropes to keep them from running and I have heard your cries.  And now angels dressed like cowboys have been sent on assignment.  I have commissioned them with anointed lassos to not only bring home the prodigals who have spent their lives in the world, but I have shortened the rope for all of you. There are areas in your own lives where you have run from Me, and I have given you a lot of leeway.  Throughout the years you have felt My slight tug of pressure and have not yielded.  I have allowed you slack, even in your running, in places where you have striven with Me, run from Me, or dodged issues in which I have knocked upon your doors.

Suddenly without notice, there will come the sudden jerk of a lasso, as a cowboy does in hot pursuit of a wild runaway horse. The faster you run, the stronger you resist, you will find it to be the exact measure in which you feel the sudden and sharp jerk.  This does not have to be a tug-of-war between us.  Understand, that to the exact degree you wrestle with My will, will be the exact degree you shall feel the jerk.  It will not be easy for you to kick against the pricks.  You shall suddenly and quickly reap what you sow.  This will help you discern areas where I am getting your attention, because your conduct will be given immediate feedback.

Remember a willing horse is reigned in by the slight tug at the reins, and finally a slight pressure at his side.  As you humble yourselves, listen and comply, you shall feel My loving tug instead of the violent jerk of a lasso. And as you change your mindsets, your opinions and repent from your running, I will send you a second angel called, Grace.  She will give you grace to chew the strong meat in your training process and this will help you understand what I am spotlighting in your lives. Grace will help bring you into balance in areas where you are out of control.  In your humility and willingness to come into alignment with My Word, you shall know My grace in your lives in greater measures than you have ever known.  You will feel My loving embrace as a warm hedging, where you shall know your boundaries and feel the great comfort of abiding in such a way that brings pleasure to My heart.  As My Word says, I have hedged you behind and before, and laid My hand upon you.  (Psa 139:5)

“O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my every thought when far away. You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest. Every moment you know where I am. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD. You both precede and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to know!

I can never escape from your spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the place of the dead, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night--  but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are both alike to you.

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous--and how well I know it.  You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God! They are innumerable! I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up in the morning, you are still with me!

O God, if only you would destroy the wicked! Get out of my life, you murderers! They blaspheme you; your enemies take your name in vain. O LORD, shouldn't I hate those who hate you? Shouldn't I despise those who resist you? Yes, I hate them with complete hatred, for your enemies are my enemies.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.”  (Psalms 139 NLT)
