RHEMA 6/08/09  THE DESTINY OF AMERICA

HEARD:  Nation.  The United States of America, where it’s heading.  Down the wrong road.  We the people. 

 

HEARD:  I wanted you to understand.   What’s wrong with the picture?

 

PIX:  I saw 3 paint swatches of color, the samples of paint to choose from.  One was black and the other 2 were really dark shades of smoky grey.  These paint swatches are what paint stores use to show choices for painting walls.

 

HEARD:  Extreme make over.  The whole House. 

 

IMPRESSION:  I had the immediate impression that the Lord was speaking about an extreme make over for the White House.

 

HEARD:  It’s your choice.   Enter in.  Essence of drama.

 

VISION:  I saw the same color swatches, the dark smoky grey one stood out and I then saw the identical colored clouds rolling into place in the sky.

 

HEARDIn the wrong direction.

 

HEARD:    Having suffered awhile, she will learn obedience for the things she suffered. 

 

Heb 5:7-8 NKJV

...who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear, 8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. 

 

UPDATE AMAZING CONFIRMATION:  I was so moved by this Word, I rose in the middle of the night to pray and seek Him.  I felt led to turn in my latest book, Treasures, with anointed hands.  I  opened the book up to the following.  I had no idea this Word was in that book.

 

OBEDIENCE THROUGH SUFFERINGS

 

HEARD:  Mad at you.  You know that is not true.  Sifted.  You have definitely learned obedience through the things you have suffered.  I can always tell the humble ones who are trusting.  In whatsoever state they find themselves, they are content. 

 

Heb 5:5-8 NKJV

So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: "You are My Son, Today I have begotten You."    6 As He also says in another place: "You are a priest forever  According to the order of Melchizedek";    7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear, 8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.

 

Phil 4:10-13 NKJV

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content : 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

 

Heard:  Yes a  tree planted by the waters.

PIX:  I saw a willow tree planted by some water and directly behind it was a white fence that represented boundaries.

 

Heard:  Weeping willow.  Do not despair.  I am with you.  You and I are one, no matter what. 

 

Ezek 2:6-10 NKJV

"And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house. 7 You shall speak My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refuse, for they are rebellious. 8 But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Do not be rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you."  9 Now when I looked, there was a hand stretched out to me; and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. 10 Then He spread it before me; and there was writing on the inside and on the outside, and written on it were lamentations and mourning and woe.

 

LAMENTATIONS

qiynah

OT:7015 qiynah (kee-naw'); from OT:6969; a dirge (as accompanied by beating the breasts or on instruments):

KJV - lamentation.

 

OT:6969

OT:6969 quwn (koon); a primitive root; to strike a musical note, i.e. chant or wail (at a funeral):

KJV - lament, mourning woman.

 

QUICKENED:  It was strongly quickened that it was planted right next to a white fence.  White represents righteousness and holiness.  Fences represent boundaries and the Lord has been speaking to me about creating and maintaining godly boundaries for the last 4 years.  There are so many lessons about godly boundaries, in how to scripturally war, how to pray, the right kind of attitude to have, having godly communications, relationships, living holy lives above reproach, and staying safely within the boundaries of the ministry that He has prescribed, regardless of what others say or do or model such.  To go outside God’s boundaries is called unauthorized authority.

 

Matt 7:21-23 NLT

"Not all people who sound religious are really godly. They may refer to me as 'Lord,' but they still won't enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The decisive issue is whether they obey my Father in heaven.  22 On judgment day many will tell me, 'Lord, Lord, we prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.'  23 But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Go away; the things you did were unauthorized.'

 

POSTED AT THE FORUM

 

After I prayed and returned to bed, I heard the following:

 

HEARD:  How do you want to raise your children?

 

COMMENTS:  Wayne and I have been groaning in prayer ever since the elections and the obvious governmental setups for the book of Revelations.  We have both faced the questions of God delaying scripture fulfillments into another generation.  In such a plan, we would be among a generation who circle for 40 more years pining for God’s glory and power to return to the church, only to die without occupying.  The other option is to live through the book of Revelations and walk into the promises with our grandchildren. 

 

When Hezekiah was given an extension, he was happy that the captivity would not happen in his life, and his life was also spared 15 extra years from his sickness.  But he was not loving his children nor their inheritance with such a attitude.  He selfishly interceded for himself and his healing, but not for his children. 

 

2 Kings 20:16-19  NLT

Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, "Listen to this message from the LORD: 17 The time is coming when everything you have — all the treasures stored up by your ancestors — will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD. 18 Some of your own descendants will be taken away into exile. They will become eunuchs who will serve in the palace of Babylon's king."   19 Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "This message you have given me from the LORD is good." But the king was thinking, "At least there will be peace and security during my lifetime."  

 

I knew exactly what the Lord meant when He asked me how I want to raise my children.  In great weakness I have walked out a very long intercession over the Laodicean church in Rev 3:14.   I know what it is like to be independent and in less need of God.  And I know what it is like to be desperate and dependant upon Him.  God doesn’t want His kids to suffer, but if they do not heed His voice and do not rely upon Him, what recourse does He have in reaching them?  The truth is that it takes a careful balance of many issues to raise up a child into the maturity of faith, hope and love of Jesus Christ.

 

Isa 28:23-29 NLT

Listen to me; listen as I plead! 24 Does a farmer always plow and never sow? Is he forever cultivating the soil and never planting it? 25 Does he not finally plant his seeds for dill, cumin, wheat, barley, and spelt, each in its own section of his land? 26 The farmer knows just what to do, for God has given him understanding. 27 He doesn't thresh all his crops the same way. A heavy sledge is never used on dill; rather, it is beaten with a light stick. A threshing wheel is never rolled on cumin; instead, it is beaten softly with a flail. 28 Bread grain is easily crushed, so he doesn't keep on pounding it. He threshes it under the wheels of a cart, but he doesn't pulverize it. 29 The LORD Almighty is a wonderful teacher, and he gives the farmer great wisdom. 

 

“Enter in, it’s your choice.”  The night the Lord asked me “How do you want to raise your children?” in regards to the timing of America’s destiny, I felt it was similar to when the Lord said, "Shall I hide from Abraham  what I am doing?”  (Gen 18:17)  It was God’s way of allowing Abraham’s input as he responded in intercession for the cities. 

 

I felt impressed that I was to pass God’s question on to you.  “How do you want to raise your children?”  What choice do you make over the destiny of America and the nations who are also hanging in the balance of America’s decisions?

 

Ps 11:3 NKJV

If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?
