RHEMA 6/25/08  NO MORE STUBBORN MULE: FACE TO FACE CORRECTION

OPENED EARS:  I heard a door bell ring in the Spirit. God was making a house call.

HEARD:  Apology.  I am enlightened, thanks. 

HEARD:  Rapid change.  Advancement.  Graduated. 

CHANGE AND THE FEAR OF THE LORD

I have been thinking a lot about change.  Some seem to make a decision and change in about one second.  It takes me SO long to change.  I have to be told there is a change coming, then be prepared to face the change, then take tiny steps into believing in the change.  Once I am convinced, I am OK with it and just jump in.  But it is the convincing that has always been really hard for me.  And my loved ones would agree, that if the change is pushed on me without my consent, I kick and scream about it the whole way. 

Ps 55:19 NKJV

Because they do not change, therefore they do not fear God.

I think God is in the same place with the world.  He is being very long suffering and extra patient as we kick and scream our way towards change.  I have learned that for me it is not defiant sin that He has His eye upon, but it is my stubborn mindsets.  I have opinions that don’t match His and some of these He has released me to learn the hard way, because I need convinced about my behavior and thought processes.  I am looking forward to being so flexible and yielded that He can simply look my direction and I immediately move the same.  I am very tired of the school of hard knocks.

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.

COMMENTS:  At this time I feel that rapid change and advancement was directly related to repentance and needing forgiveness.  Repentance paves a way through things and catapults us to a new place.  This is one person that will breathe a sigh of relief to get out of the hot and tested place.  I’m ready.

LOOK RIGHT HERE

VISION 6/29/08:  I saw someone who had knelt down directly in front of a child.  He was peering directly into the child’s eyes and made strong hand motions pointing to his own eyes.  He said to the child, “Look right here.” as he was motioning to his own eyes.  It was a pantomime parable of direct speech, saying, “I AM right here peering into your face, look straight into My eyes, for I AM guiding you with Mine eye. You have received direct, clear speech as to My will and Word.”  I knew it was a firm command that the child listen and obey for he has received feedback about his behavior.

HEARD:  I am watching you.

HEARD:  No more blind are you.  See things from a different perspective.  Enlightenment. 

WORD TO PONDER:  NO MORE STUBBORN MULE: FACE TO FACE CORRECTION  6/25/08 

You have just gone through a dry season where I have withheld understanding and fellowship from you.  You have walked through a sifted place and wrestled with confusion, stubbornness and being stopped cold in your tracks.  I know this has been hard on you dear one, but it was necessary.  You needed to stop, repent and change.  Sometimes it is only My tough love that can get through to you.  Trust Me that it is just as hard on Me as it is on you.  I have loved and prayed you through your tears.

As you ask forgiveness and repent, I AM giving you the desires of your heart, and that is clarity.  I AM once again enlightening you and bringing you onto a road of revelation into places where you can see.  Your blind eyes are opening as I circle through what you did not understand.  My ways are so much higher than your understanding and the more you submit yourself to My Word, the more I will bring you into the joy of fellowship through aligning with My ways.

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.

Rev 3:17-20 NKJV

Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing' — and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked —   18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve , that you may see.  19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
