RHEMA 6/07/13 TAMING THE WILD ONES
HEARD: There are wild ones. I promise to
tame. Wild children.
VISION: I saw a toddler at the bottom of a
mall slide. He went down facing backwards and at the
bottom of the slide, he turned his head around front
ways, but his body was still facing backwards. He was
looking kind of befuddled, as though he saw that he
landed backwards and wanted to understand where he was,
but was still facing backwards.
VISION:
I saw a group of students marching towards me. There
was a boy that beckoned with his hands to get something
from me in passing, (gimme, gimme) but without saying
thank you or connecting in relationship. I was reminded
of those who seek God’s gifts and not His face. He had
a heal gripping Jacob spirit in him.
Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that says unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but
he that does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out
demons? and in your name done many wonderful works? 23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
depart from me, you that work iniquity.
I sensed this had to
do with the need to be converted, because the word
convert means to turn around. Some want to see and
receive the Word of the Lord, without repenting and
turning their lives around.
Acts 3:19 Repent therefore, and be converted, {1994}
that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of
refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
CONVERT: To revert, turn about, turn again
Strong's Greek Dictionary
1994.
επιστρεφω epistrepho
from 1909 and 4762; to revert (literally, figuratively
or morally):—come
(go) again, convert, (re-)turn (about, again).
CONFIRMATION PASTOR JAMES 6/09/13: FACING BACKWARDS
http://highercallingministriesintl.com/writings
I had another very unusual experience with the Lord this
morning. I was given a vision in which I was climbing
backwards up a very tall tree. This seemed very strange
and quite dangerous. As I watched the ground getting
farther away, I asked what this could mean, and I was
told that we are doing many things in a backward way. I
asked if that was good or bad and the Lord said, “Yes!
It is both. It is good when you are going back away from
the ways of the world and the ways of the flesh, but it
is bad when you are moving away from the things I ask
you to do.”
It suddenly came to me that I wasn’t really climbing at
all. How can you climb up a tree backward? It is just
not possible. Then I realized that I was being pulled up
the tree. This also was both good and bad. It was good
that I was being pulled upward, and it was bad that the
Lord had to pull me instead of me turning around and
climbing in the direction He is leading.
Then suddenly I was carried by the Spirit into another
vision. In this vision, I was flying with the Lord in
something like a space ship. Again, I was looking
backwards through a great window. I had a marvelous view
of where we had been, but could not see anything about
where we were going. I believe I may have been enjoying
the view of the Universe more than focusing on the
lesson from the Lord, because He had to tell me again to
turn around and focus on where He was leading.
Are there some
backward things in your life? Are there times or
situations when you seem to be moving away from the
Lord? Now is the time to reorient yourself and begin to
move in the direction He is leading. I
remembered what Paul wrote in Philippians 3:13-14,
“Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken
hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is
behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on
toward the goal to win the prize for which God has
called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
This is the time and this is the season to let go of the
things in the past which draw your attention away from
the destiny the Lord has established for you. This is a
time to turn around and get back in line with His ways
and His direction for your life. Things will be so much
easier when you are moving forward than when He has to
drag you backward toward you goal. Amen?
May we never end up like the people Paul described in
Philippians 3:18-21, “For, as I have often told you
before and now say again even with tears, many live as
enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is
destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory
is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. But
our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a
Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the
power that enables him to bring everything under his
control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they
will be like his glorious body.”
May we have a clear perspective on our citizenship in
the Kingdom and a sharp focus on the destiny given to us
by the Lord! May we see any areas where we need to turn
around and then be obedient to follow and obey Him! May
we be faithful in all our walk and all our ways! Amen
and Amen!!!

RHEMA 6/02/13 A WILD HORSE NOT TRAINED
HEARD: I heard a young person’s name who had
been voted to become a leader of a new generation.
VISION: Then I saw this same person who had a
lot of raw talent, but was definitely not honed. I
sensed he was a wild horse not yet trained. They
actually called him an upcoming star and he had been
held back for more mentoring.
HEARD: Character. He’s brave, yes but not
trained. A wild horse in process. There you have it.
Psalms 89:33-35 Nevertheless my loving-kindness will
I not utterly take from him, nor allow my faithfulness
to fail. 34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the
thing that is gone out of my lips. 35 Once have I sworn
by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

CONFIRMATION QUOTE JOYCE MEYERS 6/03/13 SHOOTING
STARS
http://www.joycemeyer.org/
“There are a lot of people that have a gift that will
take them somewhere. But not enough character to keep
them there once they get there. I’m tired of seeing
shooting stars who fall faster than they rose, and end
up giving Christianity a bad name. Don’t despise the
day of small beginnings. And don’t be in too big of a
hurry to try to get on the platform somewhere.”
PRAYER: Lord we lift up a new generation of raw
talented believers who have great potential and thank
You for Your promise that You will train them in Godly
character and wisdom. We honor the gifts You have
placed within them, but we also earnestly request that
You would protect them from being promoted by men before
their time. We ask that You will route out all the
defects in their character that are vulnerable to
demonic plunder, because it is not only their lives that
they represent. It is all those who will follow their
lead someday that we also want kept from the wicked
one. Raise up Your army of radical believers Lord, and
let the children be radically trained for radical days,
in Jesus name.
John 17:15-18 I pray not that you should take them
out of the world, but that you should keep them from the
evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of
the world. 17 Sanctify them through your truth: your
word is truth. 18 As you have sent me into the world,
even so have I also sent them into the world.
