RHEMA 12/29/06  GROANING OVER THE ORPHANS

HEARD:  Yes I AM.  It’s ME.  Capital M.  You are adopted sweet one.  You belong to Me, Your Papa.  Comfort. 

Hungry.

Outside

Moving

Endlessly.

Life’s

Empty

Search for

Shelter.

CONFIRMATION:  I was groaning today under prayer.

PRAYER:  Abba, how grieved You are over the disjointed heart of Your family!  How deeply You feel the pain over the wounds from loved ones and foes.  How deeply You feel the suffering from compounded fractures left to heal in isolation and broken ditches in the road of life.  Stranded and helpless, and lost without hope... those are the orphans that You groan over.  And You are teaching us their pain, by suffering our own.  How blessed we are Lord, and how little our pain is when we consider a life without You, without family and without a safe place to settle in Your safe arms of love!

Bring Your children home Lord, bring them in!  Reach their hungry souls with Your bread.  Go to the highways and byways of life and move endlessly until they are found and brought into Your house.  Grant that these, Your orphans would no longer wander in empty searches for the shelter of Your love.

Luke 14:16-24 NKJV

Then He said to him, "A certain man gave a great supper and invited many,  and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, 'Come, for all things are now ready.'  But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, 'I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.'  And another said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.'  Still another said, 'I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.'  So that servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.'  And the servant said, 'Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room.'  Then the master said to the servant, 'Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.  For I say to you that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.'"
