2/14/20 TAKING TIME TO JOURNAL BY HAND AND STUDY

I have been in a transition with my journaling.  For decades I have journaled via the computer and only printed it out once a year.  I still do so.  However I am spending more time journaling and decorating pages by hand.  This has slowed me down and helped me to study, absorb more of what He is saying and how it applies.

HEARD:  Less is more.  More affective.  Simple. 

·       Less words – more highlight

·       Less stuff - more space

·       Less distraction – more focus

·       Less food – better health

·       Less quantity –higher quality

2/18/20:  [Lord please help me with this transition.  These print outs are taking a lot of paper and space and time.] 

HEARD: Its not the volume sweetheart.  Simplicity.  You are wondering about your maintenance program.  Reduces down to the simplest form.  Maintaining your printed rhema.

FROM THE WWW

The phrase less is more means that having just the essential things is better than having way too much of superfluous things. It allows you to focus on what matters.

3/07/04  MEMENTOES OF FAITH

They are making room for the harvest. Short and Sweet.  How do you want to lay out the table? I saw a pair of hands smoothing out the table cloth. From your journal.  Move forward from your journal.  Spread a platter. Keep it simple.  Not so elaborate.  One at a time.  What’s my assignment?  Redesign the layout.  Plan.  Journal.  Mementos.  Snipits of faith.  Treasures.  A lifeline. Keep it simple.  Just a few entries. 

1/09/20 WORD VIA ELLA

Happy 2020 New Year to Everyone!

Well another page has turned for me, and I am starting a New Chapter. The Lord has quickened these things for me in this New Chapter:

o   Not to work harder, but to work smarter.

o   To simplify and return back to simplicity.

o   Follow through with Obedience.

2/22/20:  I have been asking the Lord what He meant by hearing the above regarding the word, Simple.  Today my eye grabbed onto this photo from FB and I felt it was a perfect example.

This is what this photo represents to me: Simple elegance.

The backdrop of what matters is not minimalist or empty in regards to using space.  There is a lot of furniture in the backdrop to the subject matter, but it is neutral in color which puts all the focus on what matters.

In this photo, there is less color which makes that which represents fellowship to become the lead player.  The photo represents intimacy for two in a cozy place.

About the subject:  The use of color, curvy lines and condensed space makes it appear luxurious.

How grateful I am that He prepares for us such precious and rich  moments with  Him!

Matthew 13:16-17 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which you see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which you hear, and have not heard them.

QUOTE FROM THE WWW: THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE KEYBOARD

“When you write your notes by hand, you develop a stronger conceptual understanding than by typing. ... Handwriting forces your brain to mentally engage with the information, improving both literacy and reading comprehension. On the other hand, typing encourages verbatim notes without giving much thought to the information.”

2/13/20 INVESTIGATE WITH DILIGENCE

Event list.  I will reward you, I promise.  Careful steps.  What you do with your life.  How you spend your time. Rhema.  Press through the limitations.  You are making headway.  Milestone.  Event.  Each road sign is progress.  Advancing the kingdom.  Do you understand?

Come! I will equip you.  I heard someone shout “I got it!”  I had the impression it was like an earnest  hunt for something hidden and joy when found!

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

DILIGENTLY SEEK

Strong's Greek Dictionary
1567. ἐκζητέω ekzeteo (ekzētéō)
Search for G1567 in KJVSL; in KJV.

ἐκζητέω ekzētéō, ek-zay-teh'-o

from G1537 and G2212; to search out, i.e. (figuratively)investigate, crave, demand, (by Hebraism) worship:—en- (re-)quire, seek after (carefully, diligently).

CONFIRMATION:  I was impressed to find out that the word diligently seek means to investigate.  The Lord must be highlighting that idea too.  Yesterday in YouTube search, I typed in the word investigate!! 

2/17/20 CONFIRMATION RICK JOYNER

(Bobby is sharing with him on prophetic perspectives.)

QUOTE RICK:  Bobby sometimes is like trying to drink out of a fire hydrant.  Push pause, and then absorb some of it.  First go and read these scriptures.  That’s why I try to write down everything I can, and then I go back and try to read them, and say if this is the Word of God, I want to GET IT.  Then sometimes I go back weeks later and go through my notes and it goes deeper.  This is how we cultivate faith.

Faith just doesn’t happen.  Sometimes we think we can be like farmers and just throw the seeds out there and gather the harvest.  No you have got to watch that seed, water it, keep the weeds out. You have got to cultivate if it is going to bear fruit.

WORD TO PONDER:  LESS IS MORE 2/14/20

Dear one, you have been used to a certain pace of running your race and although you are in the days of acceleration and harvest, I AM transitioning you into a slower pace where what you spend is actually more effective in the long run.  This will help you overcome limitations you have had for years.  It will help your faith to grow.  It will help you better participate with Me in what I want to accomplish in your life. 

Be open to change, to stretching outside of your boxed routine and finding a better way.  If you find I have taken the feathers out of your “boxed” settled place, be willing to spread your wings and fly through a time of transition.  How?  Trust Me and be willing to change. I will draw you, inspire you and bring you to that desired haven.  I promise you shall come into your increase, but you will have the time, energy and space to maintain it.

Romans 12:8 (AMPC) ⁸ He who exhorts (encourages), to his exhortation; he who contributes, let him do it in simplicity and liberality; he who gives aid and superintends, with zeal and singleness of mind; he who does acts of mercy, with genuine cheerfulness and joyful eagerness.

HEARD (after posting above word):  Take time and enjoy your journey.
