RHEMA 12/18/07  WORK OVERLOAD AFFECTS FAITH

PIX:  I saw a jump rope moving up and down, up and down.

Heard:  Fellowship.  Depends upon your association. 

PIX:  I saw a person who had too many expectations of another that was too busy and insensitive to the need for mutual communion in God.

Heard:  Just be careful.  Comfort them. 

Heard:  You need to have your brain fixed.  How come you didnt get to go?  I had work to do.  Seeing is believing. 

Heard:  Parents and children.  Fellowship.   Watch.  Two or three hours.   How far apart do we want to be?  Three is fine, 3 it is.  That is the reason we wait so much. 

WORD TO PONDER:  WORK OVERLOAD AFFECTS FAITH  12/18/07

When I grow My body up into oneness, it grows through the establishing of faith.  Faith comes only by hearing My Word.  Beloved, if you find yourself too busy, it effects your faith and your level of belief because work overload presses fellowship with Me and those who love Me into a small corner of your life. 

As you watch and wait upon Me, you may wonder why you are having to wait so long for Me to perform My Word.  Some levels of faith can not be built in isolation, but through being integrated with one another in My body.  Thus some of My Words are totally dependant upon the level of fellowship and intimacy you allow to reach you.  The measure of your limitations is your measure dear ones.  

Rom 12:1-2 NKJV

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Rom 12:1-6 AMP

I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].

3 For by the grace (unmerited favor of God) given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think of himself more highly than he ought [not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance], but to rate his ability with sober judgment, each according to the degree of faith apportioned by God to him. 4 For as in one physical body we have many parts (organs, members) and all of these parts do not have the same function or use, 5 So we, numerous as we are, are one body in Christ (the Messiah) and individually we are parts one of another [mutually dependent on one another]. 6 Having gifts (faculties, talents, qualities) that differ according to the grace given us, let us use them: [He whose gift is] prophecy, [let him prophesy] according to the proportion of his faith;
