Wow! That's all I can say is....WOW!
Saturday we met at the Hilton Garden Inn for the first time. It was an amazing time in the presence of the Lord. When G-d does something, He does it right! I have been saying for a couple of weeks that we are all in a new place...all things are new. It dawned on me while speaking at the meeting that all things truly were new. The meeting location was new. The sound equipment is top of the line equipment and it is all new...paid in full! Thank you L-rd! The hotel is in the final stages of being completely renovated....made like new again!
I stayed in a room in the hotel the night before the meeting to be alone with the L-rd and to get His heart for the meeting. I released a two-part word on the season we are currently in called Stability, which will be a short season. Then immediately after the season of Stability is over the season of Addition will begin. The L-rd said to tell the people not to harden their hearts during this season of Stability when He is commanding us to yield every area of our lives wholeheartedly to Him once and for all. As we do this, it will bring Stability into our lives we never knew existed or even believed was possible. The season of Addition represents the outpouring of G-d coming our way, which is represented in the following verse:
Matthew 7:24-29 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: a man of stability “and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: a man of instability “and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
The blessings are symbolically represented by the rain, flood and winds. I will share more on this in a later post where I will include the entire notes from the meeting, but I do want to share this one last thing with you. As I left the hotel room Saturday morning, I gathered my keys and wallet from the desk. The last thing I picked up was the little sleeve the hotel gives you your room keys in. On the front were the words - OPEN DOORS...YOU NEVER KNEW EXISTED. Wow!
So if you yield everything in your life to G-d, now...in this season, you will be like a man who built his house on the rock and when the outpouring comes you will be able to contain it and doors you never knew existed will be open to you! Hint: the keys to open these doors are in your mouth.
One more last, last thing. I think it is interesting that Saturday a door was opened to me and the ministry that I never knew existed. I didn't know it existed. What I think is even more interesting is the very next day, Sunday, was the beginning of Hanukkah. Which is the story of the rededicating of the Holy Temple of G-d after the Maccabean revolt. The people were corrupt and backslidden, but they didn't have anyone to blame except themselves because it started from with within. They knew better, but allowed the world in anyway and the paid for it dearly. The miracle was that G-d used one man who decided to rise and bring stability back to the Jewish people. He stirred others to rise with him to stand for righteousness. The miracle about the story is G-d used a small band of men to overthrow the most evil empire of the world. Then they first got all the rubbish out of the Holy Temple, repaired the doors and rededicated it. They only had one small vial of oil, enough to light the menorah in the Holy Temple for one day, but it burned for eight days miraculously. Today, we are the temple of the living G-d. We must get out all the rubbish in our lives and rededicate ourselves to G-d once again. G-d has hidden a small vial of oil in us all and we are to find that vial and release it to burn bright in this ever increasingly dark world. The oil is the Holy Spirit of G-d. You are the vial. Allow your self to be broken under the mighty hand of G-d so that He may exalt you to burn bright for Him.
Let your light so shine...
Receive this blessing:
May the Lord bless you and keep you,
May the Lord make His face shine upon you;
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
His best to you,
