TREASURES REVEALED AFTER THE STORM  3/01/12

Today I read a story from Elijah list.  Here is a snipit that was quickened to me:

Found in Jerusalem Tomb; First Archaeological Evidence of Christianity

James Hathaway (March 1, 2012)

"This inscription has something to do with the resurrection of the dead... or perhaps an expression of faith in Jesus' resurrection. The Jonah ossuary is most fascinating. It seems to represent a pictorial story with the fish diving under the water on one end, the bars or gates of death, the bones inside, and the image of the great fish spitting out a man representing, based on the words of Jesus, the 'sign of Jonah'—the 'sign' that he would escape the bonds of death." -Professor James D. Tabor

CONFIRMATION ANOINTED HANDS

Then I turned with AH to the following Word to Ponder:

WASHED ASHORE 6/10/06

Yes, beloved one, callings and gifts took a strong hit when you were in the midst of the storm.  Deep into the heart of the matter is that even if you denied My calling in your life, you are who I have called you to be.  Remember how Peter denied even Me, but after he was sifted, I went after him and brought him back from the sea of life.

The pages have turned and there is a whole new day.  Your life is washed white and clean as an unwritten page in history.  New things are waiting for you.  Washed ashore from the storm, are many treasures just waiting to be found.  Lost, stolen, and buried at sea, they have surfaced onto dry land.  My son, believe Me.  Nothing is to be lost.  The sands of time yield great wealth yet to be discovered.

Isa 45:3-6 NKJV

I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.  For Jacob My servant's sake, and Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me.  I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me, that they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other.

CONFIRMATION 3/11/12:  I found a birthday card today that was quickened to me as a Word of the treasures that are washed up after having gone through a storm.  The above graphic is what I created from a couple scenes from the card.

CONFIRMATION 3/19/12

NOTE FROM QW ROUNDTABLE MEMBER:  The Lord is so amazing Sandy!  Today, as I read this post from you, it was exactly the "picture" the Lord gave me Friday night at our home group.  The Lord showed me the "sea of humanity" being washed up on the shore after the waves had over taken them and beat them down with life's trials and tribulations.  We were to meet them with Grace and Mercy because the Lord wants to heal and restore.  One person in particular, who is very close to my heart, was shown to me as actually being in the belly of the whale, and now, after many years, has been thrown out of the belly of the whale and washed ashore. (I am now reminded of the natural phenomenon of all the fish being washed ashore in different places.)

These "gems" after being tumbled around in the storms of life, are being washed ashore.

Thank you Lord.  It is time to bring your treasures into the Kingdom of God!

RESPONSE FROM SANDY:  OH MY..... The Lord just reminded me of a Word that I heard Ricky Joyer say yesterday on You Tube. He was sharing what Bob Jones heard, about the sign from the Lord as to when there would be a huge west coast earthquake. He said there would be a large amount of dead fish washed ashore before it happened. Bob saw that and said it would be the warning sign that it is eminent.

Scientists have seen that phenomenon and there is speculation that ocean earthquakes cause a lot of vibrations in the water that kill fish.

Annie's Visions and Bob Jones have both said that the harvest is going to come in during very stormy times in the world. Those jewels that come through it alive are the ones washed ashore whose lives are redeemed from destruction.
