RHEMA 8/13/08 DEBATE: WASHING OFF THE STRIFE OF
MEN’S TONGUE
PIX: I saw angels cleaning a parking garage;
its tiles on the walls and the pavement.
PIX: I saw an email news flash
HEARD: You dont know how much it impacts. It
will help you discern. Yes these are important.
Debate. It’s everywhere.
Word to
ponder: discerning a debating spirit 8/13/08
Beloved you have walked through a long season of being
finely tuned to witness the voices of a debating spirit
versus the voices of those who bow low with a teachable,
listening heart. Yes those who are really hungry for My
truth will pester with questions, earnestly searching
for answers, but they do so with a different motive.
Yes they sometimes wrestle, but that too is easily
discerned.
However those who are sucked into hardhearted debate
with opinions, criticism, control, fierce division,
cynic and bitter unbelief, they are no longer
teachable. They wrestle with men, My truth, and their
own bitter spirits, as they release the poison of the
tongue.
Wait on Me and let me wash you from the strife of
tongues. Bring all that concerns you to Me and I will
set you free from the spirit of debate that is circling
the world.
Prov 12:19-22 NKJV
The truthful lip shall be established forever, but a
lying tongue is but for a moment. Deceit is in the
heart of those who devise evil, but counselors of peace
have joy. No grave trouble will overtake the righteous,
but the wicked shall be filled with evil. Lying lips
are an abomination to the LORD, but those who deal
truthfully are His delight.
UPDATE COMMENT 10/11/08: With the elections
coming so soon, the spirit of debate is everywhere. It
is very exhausting to give it at ear. I watched the
debates because I felt it was very vital to pray.

LEARN TO GIVE WITHOUT STRIFE 11/01/04
Dear ones, when I send you with My message, your only
assignment is to deliver the Word and then back off and
let Me do the convincing. It is not your job to play
Holy Spirit. To step beyond the boundaries of your
assignment is to fall into a downward spiral that
results in striving and debate. This does not represent
Me or My message. Such behavior represents the
Pharisees and wolves who are blind and lost in their own
mind-sets. They defend their opinions in frank and bold
speech. They point the finger silhouetting their own
wounds and know not the wisdom of their God.
When I serve My Word, it is as a humble and lowly
servant. If I, being Lord, am gentle and lowly of
heart, how much more should you? Listen to the word
give. It means to bestow, grant, offer, present,
donate, furnish, impart. When I give it is served on a
platter of choice. I do not force Myself on the
non-teachable. As you come into synch with My purposes
and with one another, you will learn that giving through
My Presence and through My Spirit will result in pure,
sweet peace.
2 Tim 2:23-26 NLT
Again I say, don't get involved in foolish, ignorant
arguments that only start fights. The Lord's servants
must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone. They must
be able to teach effectively and be patient with
difficult people. They should gently teach those who
oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people's
hearts, and they will believe the truth. Then they will
come to their senses and escape from the Devil's trap.
For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he
wants.

A NEW CHAPTER AWAY FROM STUBBORN MINDSETS 1/14/08
Many of My own were sent with the protein of strong meat
to those who have wrestled strongly against My ways, My
Words and My methods. I sent them into a season of
strong knocking so that many would open the doors of
their minds. My sent ones have paid a great price for
their knocking on such limited doors. I have trained
them how to recognize the stubbornness of an unteachable
spirit and how to politely walk away from all debate,
having suffered the fruit and loss of such labors.
Precious ones, you walked out a season much bigger than
your own lives; My Words and promises are vastly
intricate and bigger than you understand. As you give
me your own limited understanding of what you lost, what
you spent, and how you followed Me through it, I shall
lift you up above your own circumstances to see the
perspective much greater, much higher that your
immediate view. This understanding shall bring much
healing to you.
Beloved ones, I have closed this chapter in your life
and you shall no longer be sent to those who are blinded
by their limited mindsets of Who I AM. Instead, be
faithful in your intercessions over such people. I have
redeemed all that you spent and all that you lost during
that time, and you, My sent ones shall be stuffed to the
brim with recompense.
Prov 17:14 NKJV
The beginning of strife is like releasing water;
Therefore stop contention before a quarrel starts.
Prov 29:23 NKJV
A man's pride will bring him low, but the humble in
spirit will retain honor.
Ps 32:8-9 NKJV
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you
should go; I will guide you with My eye. Do not be like
the horse or like the mule, Which have no understanding,
Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, Else they
will not come near you.
QUOTES FROM BOB
JONES ABOUT OPINIONS
www.bobjones.org
..."You have no right to an opinion. Judgment,
criticism, debate; you have no right. All those are
religion. You have no right to debate. When you start
debating with another Christian over something, you both
lose. When you just in love say, “This is how I see it”
and then leave it there. You don’t have to debate it
anymore. So many Christians think they have a right to
an opinion.
I remember once I had an opinion. And I gave it to the
Lord. And He told me, I don’t care for your opinion. I
don’t need it and I don’t want it. So I just sorta kept
it to myself. And then the Lord told me to go to {Name
of city}.
{Bob goes on to explain what happened when he went to
that city}
"Lord there is something I need to talk to You about.
You never told me that there was an anointing in {Name
of city}." The Lord said, “I couldn’t tell you what was
going on in {Name of city}. Bob asked, “Why?” He said,
“Because you had an opinion. I won’t violate your
opinion. I will tell you a bunch more if you get rid of
your opinions. So if you people will get rid of your
opinions, you will begin to hear and see..."
