RHEMA 10/19/08  FORMAT?  “STICK” TO THE RHEMA

ANSWERED PRAYER:  I have been praying about the “format” for the upcoming school and asking the Lord what He wants to do.  Up til this point, I have learned that in sharing the rhema on the email list, to share in chronological order.  I am totally depending upon the Lord for daily bread, and He gives it according to His plan.  That way I dont have to worry about any of it.  I just show up to eat!  He is the One Who arranges His divine timing to line up with His people, sending His Word when they need it. 

I have watched this through the ministry of Bob Jones.  One of the important things he has taught is how to “organize” the conferences in which he speaks.  They usually meet together in a prophetic round table at breakfast each day prior to the meetings and share what the Lord told them that night.  They almost always “stick” to the plan of only sharing what the Holy Spirit brought to them the night before each meeting.  This is the way to honor the Holy Spirit and allow Him control over all that goes on.

John 8:28-29  NKJV

"When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.  And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him."

John 12:49-13:1  NKJV

For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak .  And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak , just as the Father has told Me, so I speak ." 

HEARD:  Sticky.  Stick to the rhema.  Keep your class together.  Stay, teach and prophesy within the context. 

PARABLE 1/24/08: Today when we babysat our grandson, we taught him the word “sticky.” He was playing with a bow and so I took the back of it off so it was sticky. The bow was made of many spiraled ribbon strands of metallic gold. It was shiny and durable. He had never felt “sticky” before and sure enough, it found a place on him and he kept shaking his hand to get it off. I laughed in delight watching his puzzled face as he saw that this bow was on his hand. He was rid of it, but it was not rid of him!

A little while later he made his way over to Wayne’s lap table where he has his Bible and a bunch of sticky tabs stuck all over the lap table. Our grandson discovered he could peel them off, only to find that yet again, they stuck to his fingers! I put one on his cheek and he turned around but didnt know where it was. So I put one on my cheek and when he saw it he laughed. All that while I was teaching him the word, “sticky!” I then got some scotch tape and we played more sticky games.
