The Black Olives

RHEMA 8/15/06 THE BLACK SHEEP HAVE BEEN PRESERVED

Tonight I turned with anointed hands to the following:

AH: WORD TO PONDER ALLERGIC TO YOUR CALLING? 2/21/03

I used the cold storm in your past for greater purposes. I did spiritual operations upon you to remove the gall and the bitterness. You were like pitted olives placed in the refrigerator for preservation. Olives give forth fine oil as do you when pressed for service. The pits were your life before. It's different now. I am bringing you out of cold storage.

I AM warming you with My love and bringing you out of the cold places of yesterday. Soon you will feel the warmth of My loving eyes upon you and begin to relax. Put aside your worries and continue to cling. I so love your clinging to Me in all that you do. I love how tenacious you are. You have suffered cold times and your tenacity to cling to Me brought you through that cold storm.

I understand you are searching for your place where you fit into My purpose and with others. Do not concern yourself with your differences. Your wincing has become like an allergic reaction and I hear your sneezes all the way up here. The truth is your sneezes are really My Presence stirring within you and your need to pop your lid. Yes, you have had a cap placed upon you for My purposes. I shall stir you up when it is time to pop open. Your sneezes are good practice.

“For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.” (1 Cor 16:9 NKJV)

UPDATE 8/19/06 PRE-SERVICE PRAYER - THE BLACK OLIVE

VISION: I saw a black olive. It was imparted to me that this represented the black sheep; ones who feel outside the camp and not fitting in, due to some kind of stain on their lives. The Lord has preserved them for His purpose. He will remove the pit of rejection and bitter gall, soak them in salt and preserve them for His purpose.

Hag 2:19 NLT

I am giving you a promise now while the seed is still in the barn, before you have harvested your grain and before the grapevine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have produced their crops. From this day onward I will bless you."
