WORD TO PONDER:  LAYING DOWN THE REIGNS OF YOUR OWN POWER 4/20/10

Beloved one I see the earnest desires of your heart in regards to your loved ones.  I know that you so badly want them to change in their behavior and heart and make good decisions.  I see the depths of your love and understand how hard it is for you when you get tangled into the webs of strife in cause and effect.  I have said that the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.  So it is with control, in the battling between men’s wills.  I promise you that if you lay down the reigns of your own power, I will turn that weakness into your greatest strength.  How?  Through prayer.  Precious one, lay it all down and I will raise you up in true power and it shall come through your weakness of refusing to move your loved ones through your own strength.  As you earnestly desire and prayer, so I shall earnestly listen and heed those prayers.

James 1:20 AMP

For man's anger does not promote the righteousness God [wishes and requires].

Zech 4:6-7  NKJV

So he answered and said to me: "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,' Says the LORD of hosts.  7'Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone  With shouts of "Grace, grace to it!"'"
