THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD
9/13/26 THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD
HEARD: I think I can, I think I can.
5/23/10 HIS FIRE IN THE BELLY
I saw a steam engine that was being carefully lifted down from heaven. Underneath the belly of the train was a kindling camp fire burning, also being lifted down from heaven. When I saw it, I knew the fire was passion.
2 Kings 10:16 And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they had him ride in his chariot.
9/13/26 AMAZING CONFIRMATION
Today when I searched for another topic, I came across the poem Anna had written about the Little Engine that Could! The title comes from a children’s story of a train climbing a steep hill.
ANNA POEM 6/13/01: I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN
It’s time, to count all loss for gain.
Listen closely, for the whistle of the glory train.
It is puffing down the track.
To make sure you will have no lack.
Blessing upon blessing, you will enjoy to the full,
No longer swayed to the world’s wicked pull.
So put your ear on your tummy
And listen for the sound.
For it’s the Kingdom of God within you,
That is the Holy Ground. Do you hear it?
I think I can, I think I can,
I think I can!
As you go puffin’ up the hill.
I thought I could, I thought I could,
I thought I could!!
When God’s glory begins to spill.
So purify your hearts
And cleanse your hands.
If you want God’s glory train
To fill your land.
“Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.” (Ps 24:3-10 KJV)
9/20/26 FUNNY CONFIRMATION!
Today I was really sleepy and wanted to search for past entries about when the Lord spoke to Gramma Anna and I about the Little Engine that Could. I mentioned to Wayne I was struggling and wanted a nap, but I wanted to get what I heard researched. Without even thinking about it, I said, “I can do this, I can do this, I can, I can!” We both laughed because what I had heard was “I think I can, I think I can!”
WORD TO PONDER: THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD 8/01/08
I have called you to lay low and chug through a narrow passageway. The smaller you make yourself, the easier it will be to maneuver, beloved one. I know this has been a very difficult time for you, as you have kept your engine loaded, and each press has seemingly been straight uphill through a mountain that would not budge. You have bravely held onto My Word. And like Jacob, you have grappled for My promises of blessing and you would not be defeated.
Even so, in this wrestling between your soul and My will, you have learned how to be in one accord with Me and also let go of that which I have asked. As much as you have reckoned yourself dead to sin, I have made you alive in Christ Jesus. As much as you have refused to yield to unrighteous choices, you have become My instrument of righteousness.
I have called you to be accountable for those you keep watch over. Take your place in government, schools, businesses, cities, churches, neighborhoods, prayer gatherings, families, children. Feed My sheep. Speak My Word. Pray with authority. There is room for you.
Joh 3:30 NKJV
He must increase, but I must decrease.
Ro 8:9-11 NKJV
And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
