PERFECT, COMPLETED FAITH

EXPERIENCE: Wayne has been working extremely hard in the heat to complete our yard for the celebration of our "Sonshine’s" graduation from college and his subsequent marriage this summer. Wayne finally finished and so today he and I took a car trip up the river which is an uphill climb into the mountains.

During the trip, we received a most amazing Word from the Lord. Along the way, there was a lovely golf course nestled in the midst of a glorious view of the mountains. So we pulled in to take some pictures. As we drove up the road through the course, Wayne said, "77707." I had no idea what he was talking about, then I saw that he was reading our speedometer. This was very quickened to me. It was almost five sevens in a row!

7 is the number of completion and 5 means grace. I said that we were completing the course with great grace. Then as soon as I said the word "course" I looked out at the green grass and realized we were driving on a course!

I had my camera and wanted to take a picture of the speedometer when it reached 77777, because I felt it would be very significant. It was also quickened to me to recognize exactly where we were driving when this happened and to take notice of anything quickened to me in the environment. We kept watching the speedometer so I wouldn’t miss the 77777.

We drove about 40 more minutes up to a natural hot springs, almost to the top of the mountain pass and walked through their flourishing gardens and ponds, then drove back down towards home. The speedometer seemed really slow in turning and I realized that we thought the last digit was the mileage in tenths, but it was in miles. Wayne said it would be 50 more miles before the speedometer reached 77777. At that moment, my eye glanced at the mileage road marker beside the road and it said "Milepost 49." We realized when we reached our home town, that the speedometer would be 77777. We decided to stop along the side of the road so Wayne could take the photo when it happened. We drove into town and stopped by the local garden nursery. Then we drove towards home. By the time we were about 2 miles from home, the speedometer said 77757. I was amazed. I could hardly believe this. We held our breath all the way home. The speedometer literally turned to 77777 just as we pulled into our driveway!!!! The chances of that happening were a total miracle. Wayne took the camera and took the picture in our own driveway.

SECOND MIRACLE: The milepost said we were 49 miles outside of the city limits and our speedometer needed just 50. However our home is about 7 miles into the city limits. Amazing!

VISION: I saw myself sitting on my back porch. On the porch was a large replica of a miniature pot I’d kept on my window sill for many years.

NOTE: When the miniature pot was given to me, I was told the story about the man who spent his whole life's resources to search for a treasure. He traveled all around the world to find it. When he arrived home depleted and exhausted, he found it buried in his own back yard.

"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Matt 6:21 KJV)

Eph 4:13 AMP

[That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ's own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.

Col 1:28 AMP

Him we preach and proclaim, warning and admonishing everyone and instructing everyone in all wisdom ( comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God), that we may present every person mature (full-grown, fully initiated, complete, and perfect) in Christ (the Anointed one).

WORD TO PONDER: COMPLETING THE COURSE

Precious Ones, you are climbing a great mountain and in the process you have been greatly tried and tested through an uphill journey. You are running the race set before you and with My great grace, you will finish this course.

As you mount to the top of your climb, you will find your life in full bloom, graduating from your past hardships and prepared to be one with Me. Even when you are far spent and think you can not go another step, your life will flourish in Me. I have been training your life towards being a lovely and flourishing garden. This is a result of all My pruning and your hard work. It is also the place where you have spent all your strivings and finally come into full dependence upon My strength instead of your own. Full abiding is the secret to full grown fruit. My love, it is in that place that we become one.

You have traveled far distances and overcome many obstacles to come home to Me! Your faith in Me is springing forth into a perfect, complete and mature union with My Word, My heart, Myself. It is in that place that great grace, and multiplied grace, will rise upon your life like the sun on its brightest day. You will forever leave the uphill battles of yesterday along with the sweat of your brow. I will pave the way before you with grace, grace and more grace.

Heb 12:1-2 AMP

THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us,

Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
