RHEMA 4/20/97: LOVED BUT REBUKED

 

QUICKENED rebuke:  Today at the grocery store (market) I had reached in to get my pen to write a check.  It was not anywhere in my purse.  I was feeling very low (and hopeless) about writing and saw it as a sign that the enemy was trying to steal my pen and thus writing.  I muttered under my breath, “It’s probably a parable.”  Wayne  heard me and quickly rebuked me saying, “Don’t be like that!”  He is rarely so strong with me, and I wondered what exactly he meant.  He said, “Where everything is a demon or everything is a parable or a sign.” 

 

A couple minutes later the cashier asked me if I had a coupon for the pop.  I said, “No.”  It was not a sad no or a disgruntled no, it was simply no.  The cashier said a quick,  “Don’t be so negative.”  He had a little cherub grin on his face and I wondered if he had heard the exchange between Wayne  and I.  In that brief moment I did not believe he heard a word of it.  The Lord had simply filled his mouth, like Wayne ’s.  As the cashier grinned he punched in a 60¢ coupon into the register.  I thanked him and was kind of stunned that the Lord would rebuke me so suddenly.  I was comforted by it in a strange kind of way. 

 

In the car I explained the Lord’s rebuke to Wayne  and what had occurred and also a correction in what he had said that not everything was a sign or a demon, only what is quickened.  I said,  “I can hardly wait to look up the number 60 when I get home.”  [The coupon was for 60¢]  But I had forgotten by the time we got home.  About 45 minutes later Wayne  came in while I as working on the computer and asked me what 60 meant!  He was taking a bath and started thinking about it!  So we looked it up.  I laughed when I read it.

Prov 13:12
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.

 

WORD TO PONDER: CEASE MOURNING
You have suffered a long season of mourning, for your spirit grew heavy with the pain of delay. I tell you to cease mourning for it is the dawn of a new day. I have broken through with My light and will turn your mourning into morning. I give a brand new start for a brand new day.

“Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:19 KJV)

“To proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, 3 To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.” (Isaiah 61:1-3 NKJV)

 

 

UPDATE:  After 13 long years of waiting and preparation, the Lord launched me into public writing ministry 2 months later.  Smile!
