RHEMA 11/26/08  THE MIRACLE OF the dead stick

HEARD:  It was a good teaching.  They are not even near Me.  This was a sign.

HEARD:    Dead stick.  Can a dead stick abide?  

PIX:  I saw 3 cherries with their stems. 

HEARD:    How to stay stable in a crooked world.  Instinct.  Even so.  Abide. 

WORD TO PONDER:  THE MIRACLE OF THE DEAD STICK  11/26/08

When you are going through death to self, do not listen to the rebellious who defy My Word and My anointed leaders.  What appears unfruitful in your life will come to full bloom merely by laying it before Me in My Presence.  Learn to wait upon Me.  Learn to abide.  As you prostrate your life before Me, I will bring you the stability you need in the midst of a crooked and rebellious world.  Give all of your dead places to Me and as you wait for life, I will bring forth buds, blossoms and fruit in rapid acceleration. 

Num 17 NLT

Then the LORD said to Moses, 2 "Take twelve wooden staffs, one from each of Israel's ancestral tribes, and inscribe each tribal leader's name on his staff. 3 Inscribe Aaron's name on the staff of the tribe of Levi, for there must be one staff for the leader of each ancestral tribe. 4 Put these staffs in the Tabernacle in front of the Ark of the Covenant, where I meet with you. 5 Buds will sprout on the staff belonging to the man I choose. Then I will finally put an end to this murmuring and complaining against you."

6 So Moses gave the instructions to the people of Israel, and each of the twelve tribal leaders, including Aaron, brought Moses a staff. 7 Moses put the staffs in the LORD's presence in the Tabernacle of the Covenant.   8 When he went into the Tabernacle of the Covenant the next day, he found that Aaron's staff, representing the tribe of Levi, had sprouted, blossomed, and produced almonds!  9 When Moses brought all the staffs out from the LORD's presence, he showed them to the people. Each man claimed his own staff. 10 And the LORD said to Moses: "Place Aaron's staff permanently before the Ark of the Covenant as a warning to rebels. This should put an end to their complaints against me and prevent any further deaths." 11 So Moses did as the LORD commanded him.   12 Then the people of Israel said to Moses, "We are as good as dead! We are ruined! 13 Everyone who even comes close to the Tabernacle of the LORD dies. We are all doomed!"
