SETTING YOU INTO PLACE
11/29/22 SETTING YOU INTO PLACE
THE UPHILL CLIMB IN 2022
I have been putting a lot of prayer into the uphill climb of 2022. So many times I have felt I could not go any further, and the Lord has just continued to encourage me to keep going and not give up in what He desires for me. I know that is only a snapshot of the Christians in this world who have gone through an increasing uphill battle. Many times this year I remembered an old vision where Anna and I were in a car driving up a mountain. It became so steep the car was barely moving. In the vision I heard myself say that we did not want to stop and yet I didn’t know how we could continue such a steep climb.
Last night I received the following vision and it was SO encouraging. I believe there is a company of people who are just one step away from having climbed a very steep climb. The Lord is bringing His beloveds to into climax of where He wants to position them.
THE VERY LAST STEP
Heard and Saw:
I am almost through dear one. I will help you. I saw an outdoor garden step that was a step up. I had the strong impression that it was the very top step in a series of upward steps. The top piece of the step was like a flat rectangular capstone, and holding up that stone were many snugly fit smaller stones making a solid foundation platform for the large stone to rest. I immediately thought of the living stones in my Words to Ponders and the graphic of the bridge of living stones, snuggly fitting for a purpose in which to hold weight. I heard the Lord say, Gently lift her up into place. My canopy is lifted. At the same time I heard that, I had reached for my remote and it was lifting the head of my bed to a sitting position; I smiled as I “realized” His confirmation in saying that. As I pondered the living stones and the many confirmations the Lord has given me, I heard, Everything happens for a reason.
He brings us confirmations in order to establish our faith, our callings, our positions and metron of authority in Him.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and keep you from evil.
1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, restore, establish, strengthen, settle you.
WORD TO PONDER: YOU WILL FIT WHERE I PLACE YOU 7/1/99
I have called you My living stones, prepared and ready to be fit into place. I alone set you there. Your sense of inadequacy or personal qualification has nothing to do with where you belong and where I will place you. Stop apologizing for your lack and stop comparing yourself to man’s mold. I alone prepare the place where you fit and I alone will set you in place. I have raised you up and will establish you into the position I have planned from the very beginning. It is not your place to do this, I will do this for you.
I set the foundation stones in place and together, they are prepared to bear much weight. The weight is the measure of authority, born through the heat of the day and the fiery flames at night. I prepared you in the kiln and you have learned to stand and withstand. Believe Me, you are prepared. Let Me place you.
“Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” (1Pe 2:4-5 (NKJ)
WORD TO PONDER: LIVING STONES 6/02/07
After having been set aside, carved and prepared you with My image, I AM sending angelic helpers to set you into place. You are My living stones, and I AM placing you to fit snugly into position within My living temple, even as My body functions with every joint and sinew fitting perfectly together as one. Let not man put asunder what I have joined together. It is a snug fit, no refunds and no returns. It is fitting to Me, that I precisely fit many sons, rank and file, into My glory.
They are Mine! Look at them carefully, I have prepared My jewels as My genuine creation, walking in the fullness of their 100 fold promises. I AM sending them as transparent vessels of loving faith. They are My feet, walking the earth to show My love, My ways, Myself. They are My sons, the manifestation of My Name. I AM keeping My sons, they bring Me such joy!
1Pe 2:4-5 NKJV
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones , are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
Eph 2:19-22 NKJV
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.
ABOUT THE CAPSTONE
A capstone is the top stone in a wall, a building, or even crowning achievement, like the final stroke, the culmination or peak. Capstones are the top stone used in rock bridges, stepping stones, walls, pyramids, buildings, doorways. The placing of the capstone locks all the other stones into position, allowing them to bear weight together for one purpose.
Zechariah 4:6-10 Then he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the LORD of hosts. 7 Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain: and he shall bring forth its headstone with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. 8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me unto you. 10 For who has despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plumbline in the hand of Zerubbabel; these seven are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

As I pondered and prayed over this large capstone, I remembered Bobby Conner’s word about the marbles rolling the large capstone into place.

THE CORNERSTONE
By Bobby Conner Article 29 June 25 ,
In an extraordinarily stirring prophetic dream I was transported to a large construction sight. At the construction area the foundation was especially smooth and also extremely level. However, over to one side and out of its proper place was a massive cornerstone. I was assigned the task of putting the enormous cornerstone into place. However, I did not have any heavy equipment to aid in moving the huge stone into its proper place. I sensed that it was extremely crucial that this was done as quickly as possible, but it must also be accomplished in the correct manner.
I stood there, in deep thought, pondering how I could accomplish this overwhelming task. Suddenly, many small children, as well as youth, came around me; each child had a brown leather bag in their hand. I was completely surrounded by these incredibly beautiful children. They were all exceptionally joyous and full of life. One was pulling on my pant’s leg, as if to get my undivided attention. I said, “I am sorry but I am too busy to play a child’s game now.”
Immediately the voice of the Lord spoke saying, “The answer to your problem is in the children’s hands.” I was aware that He was speaking about the bag in their hands. I looked into the face of the little boy at my side. His deep blue eyes twinkled with life, and his golden hair glistened in the sunlight. The same little boy that had been seeking my attention was smiling with childlike confidence; now he lifted up his bag offering it willingly to me. I quickly looked inside and found that each sack was filled with brilliant colored marbles. The Lord said, “Have the children place their marbles in front of the stone,” adding, “and then you can easily roll the huge stone into its proper place.” I did as I was told and the stone was almost effortlessly put into place. The massive stone glided over the marbles as if it was on ball bearings. I could guide and move the stone now with my thumbs. I was totally amazed at how easily this had been done.
The moment the stone went into the proper place I felt an astonishing sense of relief and accomplishment. Then the scene changed, and my attention was directed to behold extremely long lines of people approaching the foundation stone from every direction. These people were from every walk of life and from every nation on earth. Each person bore a different size and shape of stone. One by one they came and placed their stone into the wall. As they placed their stone into the wall, in a very amazing way, each one became a living stone in the wall. The wall was strong and beautiful beyond description.
