{Experiences} Take Your Thoughts Captive & God’s Power Is Activated

RHEMA 6/02/09 TAKE YOUR THOUGHTS CAPTIVE & GOD’S POWER IS ACTIVATED

HEARD: What you can do to help Me out.

Impression: Be willing and believe.

HEARD: Exactly.

EXPERIENCE: Today I stayed in the car while Wayne went into BiMart. The car was parked facing a tavern where people were smoking outside. It got quite hot in the car and I had no keys, so I tried to open the door and it would not open. I pulled the lock up by hand and then opened the door to our blaring car alarm. I had never done this before and it was very LOUD. I looked everywhere to turn off the alarm, but had no idea how without my own keys. I was playing a solitaire game so I buried my head in the game with the alarm piercing, knowing full well that people from the tavern were glaring at me. Finally the alarm stopped so I opened the door to get some cool air. GUESS WHAT? The alarm went off again and since it happened two times, I knew this was a warning from the Lord.

I immediately scanned my thoughts as to what I had been thinking about and was convicted that I was NOT to think about old sad and carnal memories. I felt the Lord was telling me that I needed to keep the doors of my thoughts and heart safe by binding the enemy access to them and being obedient to have the mind of Christ.

Matt 16:19-20 NLT

And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you lock on earth will be locked in heaven, and whatever you open on earth will be opened in heaven."

2 Cor 10:5 NKJV

...bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ...

1 Cor 2:13-16 NKJV

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ.

Word to ponder: THINK WITH MY MIND, MY PERSPECTIVE 6/02/09

Beloved one, I AM intimately connected with you. I listen and hear every one of your thoughts. When you feel the heat rise within your emotions and things get uncomfortable, take heed of your thought life. Carnal thoughts when nurtured, breed sin and eventually death. Become obedient to abide in My mind, My Word, My promises, My ways, My perspectives and lock the enemy out. Bring all your thoughts to Me and ask for the mind of Christ.

Face carnal thinking head on and be willing to believe that I AM changing you and changing those places in your past grief. Heed My alarms and take action to change the way you think. This is how you can help Me to help you. I love you precious one.

2 Cor 10:5 NKJV

...bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ...

1 Cor 2:13-16 NKJV

GOD’S POWER IS ACTIVATED:

AMAZING TWO – FOLD WORD THAT IGNITED MY FAITH

Right after I wrote the above rhema, but before I released it publically, I received an email from a loved one in Brazil. He told me the Lord was releasing healings and miracles and deliverances in their meetings. Then he shared the following amazing testimony:

TESTIMONY FROM BRAZIL

“We've been having a great time with the Spirit down here (Southern State of Rio Grande do Sul/Brazil). Healings, deliverances, people getting saved and baptized in the Holy Spirit! And the anointing is increasing. We are now experiencing supernatural events. I'll give you an example:

Last week my wife and I had an appointment to visit a family that wants to join our congregation. It was a Saturday afternoon - around 4 p.m. My car is kept in a collective garage with a big sliding steal door as the only way in and out. I had used the car in the morning when the steal door is kept open until 12 p.m., on Saturdays (but I forgot about that). Guess what? Left the remote control in the car and went home for lunch.

At 3:30 p.m. we go to the garage to get the car. Where's the control? It's in the car! So here we are, my wife and I, standing outside in the rain (oh yeah, it was raining too) no way to get in and nobody in sight. I'm ready to go home and call the folks up and schedule another meeting. Not my wife. She believes in miracles. "Let's pray", she says. You don't know my wife yet, but when she says "let's pray" she means: "Now, you're gonna pray and ask God for a miracle." I guess that's team work - she has the faith, I have to do the praying ...

I said: "Father, we have a family to visit. Open the door, please." Of course I was thinking something like: someone walking up who has a car in the same garage ... But what happened was this: that big steal door just started opening up on it's own! I couldn't believe it!! My wife just looked at me like: "Well, what are you waiting for? Go get the car!" I looked all around to see if anybody was anywhere in sight. We were all alone ... Glory be to God! And off we went ...

Isn't that something?”

{shared with permission from a kindred heart in Brazil}

SANDY COMMENTS: I was SO blessed when I read his testimony and then suddenly the Lord’s Word exploded. I had realized that the 2 Words were meant to connect. His problem was that he did not have the remote control to open the door. I was thinking that my problem was that I did not have the keys. However the part on my key chain was not the key, but the separate remote control to open the door.

Wayne reminded me that the day this happened, he went on line and ordered a new remote control to keep in our car. The remote will allow me to open the door, but not allow a thief to start the car.

I saw the strong Word parable that God is supplying His POWER of a spiritual remote control (by decrees and commands) to take spiritual authority to open and close doors.

Isa 22:22-23 NKJV

The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; So he shall open , and no one shall shut ; And he shall shut , and no one shall open . 23 I will fasten him as a peg in a secure place, And he will become a glorious throne to his father's house.

UPDATE COMMENTS: I am so grateful the Lord gave us this wonderful Word about His backing us with power when we stretch out our hands (like we do with a remote control.) I knew these 2 Words were meant to dove tail together. I even noticed that both of us used the phrase, "Guess What?"

However can you imagine how powerful our 2 testimonies would have been, had I also prayed for the Lord to stop the alarm and it stopped just like that? And what if I had spoken to the car alarm and commanded it to stop in Jesus Name!

I wondered this at the time I read his encouraging testimony, and then Anna also asked me if asked for a miracle. The truth is that as I was searching on the dashboard for something to turn it off, I said, "Lord please help me!" But once I saw it was not a dashboard item, I simply buried my head with embarrassment into the solitaire game and rode it out.

I think that is a parable of where the church is today. We are very educated on how to take the keys of our authority to speak to our mountains, but if we have an irritated audience, we shrink back.

I have had countless times commanding lawn mowers, cars, spark plugs, machines, to start in Jesus Name. The same is true for many other practical things and this is a part of my long time Christian heritage in depending on the Lord and learning to speak to the mountains. So why would I have forgotten this time? Spiritual muscles are built through resistance, and when we dont use them, we lose them. Let us not fall back into complacency!

Matt 21:21-22 AMP

And Jesus answered them, Truly I say to you, if you have faith (a firm relying trust) and do not doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and cast into the sea, it will be done. 22 And whatever you ask for in prayer, having faith and [really] believing, you will receive.

CONFIRMATION: WOW WOW WOW WOW.

I just copied my above comments about speak to the mountain in order to paste it into my journal. I accidently opened May rhema instead of June and typed in remote, in order to find the spot where this testimony is. I am amazed and had forgotten the Lord gave us a remote control Word, about stretching forth our hand in May!!!

It was Tao's message:

Scene3: I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home. On our way home Samuel held the remote control of our home’s garage door in his hands. As we drove to a certain place in our community, he wanted to press the remote control to open the door of garage. As I saw him do that, immediately I told him the door couldn’t be opened because you pressed the remote control too early. Then I continued driving for a short while, as we were near the garage door, I spoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would be opened for us. He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened.

Ps 110:2-3 NKJV

The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out of Zion.

Rule in the midst of Your enemies! Your people shall be volunteers in the day of Your power.
