RHEMA 2/02/11 TODDLER ATTENTIONS VS LONG WINDED
{Seeds Vs Harvest}
HEARD: That book I sent you. Did you read it?
HEARD: Food. Something to tell you. What's
up. Feed My ducks. Prophets. There are many times
that God sends forth a Word to be planted. It grows
like a seed to be nourished. And watered. Soil, rich
and abundant in nutrients. The Word is nurture.
Isa 55:10-11 NKJV
"For as the rain comes down, and the snow from
heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed
to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be
that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me
void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it
shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
James 5:7 AMP
So be patient, brethren, [as you wait] till the
coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits expectantly
for the precious harvest from the land. [See how] he
keeps up his patient [vigil] over it until it receives
the early and late rains.

3/07/04 KEEP IT SIMPLE
Short and Sweet. How do you want to lay out the
table? I saw a pair of hands smoothing out the table
cloth. Spread a platter. Keep it simple. Not so
elaborate. One at a time. Redesign the layout. Plan.
Journal. Mementos. Snipits of faith. Treasures. A
lifeline. Keep it simple. Just a few entries.

9/06/09 WHAT TO DO FOR TODDLERS
Have one problem, and one problem alone. What do I
do with toddler? Snip-its. I saw our crystal clear blue
salad plate and then a matching coffee cup saucer plate
was put on top of it. It was saying down size to serve
toddlers. Role model. Putting it all into
perspective. I saw the number 555 stamped across my
forehead. Get back on your horse.
COMMENTS: I have numerous entries from the Lord
about keeping the public version of my rhema more simple
so that one big meal is broken down into several smaller
ones. In the natural this could be like breaking down a
7 page Word into 7 one page Words. Or even better 10
half page Words. This helps things to be chewed easier
and accommodate people's time constraints and attention
spans.
We have a church in town whose policy is to give 20
minute sermons with 10 minute padding for intro and
alter call. They have several services back to back and
this keeps them on schedule. The sermons are always 3
simple points, with personal examples that are
interesting. It is a very strong sign to me that for 30
years this church has kept to the same policy and is
still the largest in our area. People flock to it in
droves of cars coming and going.
One time I was preparing for a seminar on how God speaks
and I had no idea how long my info would take so I typed
my outline, then I typed what I would kind of say as
fitting the outline, then I timed myself as I read it
out loud. Every page written took 5 -6 minutes!
Recently someone sent a group of people a 10 page letter
and apologized it was so long, but saying it was
important. After my practice for the seminar, I knew
that the letter would take about an hour just to read.
Was the main point of the letter worth an hour of my
time??? I continue to remember the cliché, "Count each
word and make each word count."
WORD TO PONDER: MY WORDS ARE SENT AS SEEDS 2/02/11
Beloved ones, never underestimate the power of My Words
that I speak through you. Sometimes you look for
immediate results and do not understand the nature of
the Word I sent. There are times when I send seeds and
not meals. These seeds are planted and nurtured and
watered in the gardens of prepared hearts. Sometimes
you are given access to nurture these seeds, sometimes I
nurture them elsewhere. Release your expectations to Me
and allow Me to be Father Farmer Who waits expectantly
for My return. Regardless of whether you personally
nurture these seeds, I will allow you to be the watchman
over the seeds I give you so that you too will be
satisfied with the harvest of your labors.
In the mean time, remember My children. Consider
adjusting your meals to accommodate their levels of
understanding, attention span and ability to sit still
in one place. Take more time to condense and simplify,
to bring deeper clarity to My Truth. Those who are more
mature will see how profound and deep these things apply
to their lives and will not stumble over the simplicity
at all. And in this way, the toddlers in faith can
receive from your table as well.
Ps 19:7-8 Message
The revelation of God is whole and pulls our lives
together. The signposts of God are clear and point out
the right road. 8 The life-maps of God are right,
showing the way to joy. The directions of God are plain
and easy on the eyes.
Ps 19:7-8 AMP
The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the [whole]
person; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise
the simple. 8 The precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure
and bright, enlightening the eyes.
CONFIRMATION: Right after typing the above Word
to Ponder, I turned in John Paul's book, 365 Names of
God and opened to this above scripture! What is
profound about this confirmation is that I had just
ordered his book, expecting to receive the actual Hebrew
names for God, and details of how it applies along with
scripture. Instead, each page has one simple sentence
of an attribute of God, and then one scripture. No
details, no Hebrew names, no padding, just 2 simple
sentences per page. Wow what a shock and yet profound -
if the pages are pondered and applied.
CONFIRMATION 2/24/11: Right after typing
the above Word to Ponder, I received an email from Chuck
Pierce and this was in the title: Plant And Keep Your
Garden! Learn To Teach What You See!
RHEMA 6/26/02: ABOUT
Sharing Details
HEARD: Walk the low places. Humility. Comfort.
It's not necessary that you share every little detail of
where you get your things. Just the concept. The ins and
outs of God.
PIX: I saw my white tennis shoes on my right
foot.
WORD TO PONDER SHARING DETAILS 6/26/02
I speak through many ways. To some I give the ability to
hear details and perceive My Word through seemingly
insignificant matters. When I quicken these, you need
not falter in sharing My Words. To you they may seem
minor but to those who need them, they are life.
Sometimes it is not necessary to share every little
detail. Merely share the concepts and I will breathe
upon them and bring them to life. My voice is like
thunder, it is also so small that it takes the finest
tuned spiritual amplifier to hear. Do not stumble over
details, merely be sensitive to My leading as to how
they apply in each given circumstance.
“Then He said to them, "Take heed what you hear. With
the same measure you use, it will be measured to you;
and to you who hear, more will be given. For whoever
has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not
have, even what he has will be taken away from him."
(Mark 4:23-25 NKJV)
