LOOKING AT OUR INTAKES

On the morning of the 8th February, I awoke from a dream where lots of people were sick due to contaminated fruit.  In the dream, people had eaten contaminated APPLES & BANANAS which had caused inflammation in their mouths.  For some who had eaten a lot of fruit, they had more inflammation in their bodies.   This was a deliberate act and people were being treated successfully for this but I sensed that I had been interceding for this during the night.
If anyone hears of any reports regarding this please let me know :)

The dream reminded me to continue to bless the food before we eat it, which has been my usual practice for years, but sometimes we can become a bit blasΓ© about these things.

While I was writing this up in my journal later that day, I was reminded of the importance of feeding ourselves, both spiritually and physically; the importance of a healthy diet.  We have the choices of what we eat, what we watch, what we hear.  How we feed our hearts, our minds, our bodies is a freewill choice and the evidence of that, of course, will be the fruit in our lives.

The POWER of CHOICE has been a revelation to me these past couple of years.  The Holy Spirit has been opening my understanding of the impact of our choices.  He's still doing that.  How we speak about our circumstances, our governments, our families & friends have a very powerful impact upon their lives.  Sometimes we forget that 'Death and Life are in the power of the tongue'  Proverbs 18:21

The tongue is such a small member of the body, but it has great significance.  Just as a rudder steers a ship, or a bridle directs a horse, the tongue controls our lives.  The choice of life and death are determined by our words.  The words we speak either tear down, or build up.  Words wound; words heal.  Words destroy relationships, words restore relationships.  Words shape our destiny.
My destiny of blessing and blessing others continues to unfold πŸ’•

STAY WITH YOUR DREAMS

On the 7th January I had another dream.  I walked into a Bar (I know, sounds like the beginning of a joke!) and saw two people there.  I walk up to the guy and say hello and have a short chat.  Then he leaves.  A family member was there also.  I was carrying a folder/papers.  (The likelihood of me being in a place at the same time as these two people, was very unlikely!)
The second part of the dream, I walk into a room where there are some tables (rather like a conference setting) and someone I know is sat at a table.  Again, I walk up to him, say hello and have a short chat.  He then leaves, we will meet up later.  Im carrying a folder/ papers.

I ALWAYS write my dreams down and encourage others to do that too, even if they dont make sense!
On the 11th February after my uncles funeral the first part of this dream came to pass!
The only difference was I was carrying a handbag.  So I asked the Lord about that.  He said that the 'papers/folder' represented what I carry from Him.  Gifts, discernment, testimonies etc that He has given to me.
So, I wait expectantly to see the second part of this dream come to pass.  All part and parcel of training and listening to what and how Holy Spirit is leading.  Stay with your dreams!  They are YOUR dreams and as we've seen an increase in dreams & visions lately, its so important to write them down.
Whoever said that the Christian life was dull!!  Lol!

Re Journalling; I have spoke on 'Journaling' for some years now and would encourage anyone to keep at it and to write down thoughts, dreams, scriptures and anything else that you want to, in order to reflect, look back and grow in hearing His voice and being led by Him πŸ’•
I've always found journalling a great help, ( been doing it for twenty years) just means you have to have space to store them all :)

DOORS FLINGING OPEN LIKE A WHIRLWIND

During the night of the first of January I had a vivid dream.
I could see several whirlwinds, they began as spinning tops, and grew larger.  Each one was a different colour and together they formed a circle.  I was admiring the beauty of them when I saw the circle open up and ONE of them whirl winded off!   The remaining whirlwinds closed the circle and continued spinning.
I sensed the Lord saying that WHIRLWINDS of change were coming to His people  - WINDS of HEALING,  WINDS of PROPHECY - WINDS of CHANGE.  These are God's WHIRLWINDS to the Nations.  Some DOORS will be flung open like a Whirlwind in 2015!

As I saw only one Whirlwind leaving, I felt that EACH one will be released upon God's timing.  Also that Father was being very patient with us, (His Church) as we processed & discussed whether this WHIRLWIND was from Him or not.  This is part of the NEW THING that He was doing.  Isaiah 43:18/19

My reading for that day (I read my Bible through from Genesis to Revelation however long it takes) was from JOB where God spoke to him in a WHIRLWIND!  Not sure what that would've been like? Maybe further revelation on this will come :).

While watching all of this I sensed that we really, really need to remain OPEN and not to quickly 'write off' something NEW that God is doing, simply because we haven't seen it before or don't understand it.
Test/weigh everything, Yes, that's what the word of God says to do, but as the NEW wine flows we have the choice to flow, to drink, to receive or not.  πŸ’•



ESTHER & the SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD

January 1st I was in bed with flu and reading the book of Esther.  I don't know how many times over the years, that I have read this book.  It's one of my favourites.  It seemed to me, that so many things were being highlighted to me, even the gact that 'EACH golden vessel was different from the other...' Esther 1:7 how very different we are from each other.  All loved, all accepted, by a loving heavenly Father who has a unique, purposeful plan for each one of us!  Incredible!

Esther's cousin, Mordecai cared for her as his own daughter and even though Haman plotted and schemed planning to destroy all those of Jewish descent, God, had His plans!  Ha ha!  His sovereign LOVE for His own just melts my heart over and over again πŸ’•
Reading this was a reminder to me, that whoever, or whatever, attempts to come against the plans and purposes of God, WILL NOT succeed!  There will always be the 'Hamans' but Father has placed the 'Mordecais' and the 'Esther's' in preparation to bring about His sovereign plans and purposes.

Glory to God!

JOHN 10:10 - 2015

Thanks to a few friends who have reminded me that I haven't blogged this year!   So here's some catching up from my journal πŸ’•
Sunday 28th December I was at home, alone, when I heard our doorbell ringing.  Now, for those of you that have yet to visit, our doorbell is a large bell with a piece of rope hanging from the inside.  A proper bell πŸ˜‰  well, I looked out of the window, there was no one there.  No vehicles in the driveway, nobody around.  Odd, I thought, what's that about?
God said 'Your financial Angels have arrived.  They are here to help minister your increase.'
Well, whoopee!  Chuffed to see the outworking of that and pleased that financial angels have actually rang my bell!

On the 30th December whilst praying concerning the coming year, God said to me, that this coming year will be a John 10:10 for you and for many.  We will receive 'Double for our trouble'.
John 10:10 - 'The thief comes to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.  I have come that you may have life, and that in abundance.'
Those of you on facebook may have seen my post.

Many of us, these past few years, have been through some very difficult times.  Some with health, with finances, with families and maybe all three!  Now the tide is changing and God will see to it, (apart from any stupid choices on our part) that His sons and daughters, whom He has been training, in preparation for what is on the horizon, we will receive everything we need as we rebuke the devourer and declare the blessing and favour of God over our families, our communities and our nations.
And DAILY remembering to keep our hearts, our minds and our mouths in line with what God has said rather than our circumstances may dictate!
Happy days πŸ’•
