I have been a perfectist (this is not a comment at Dennis). The best thing the Lord has done to "put the fire to it" in this area of my life , is to give me only the minimum info for any circumstance and over the years there have been the tears of frustation, the tempting of the enemy to panic and retch back the "steering wheel" and finally now the He has developed these into the hunger of "doing only as Im told." For me, He has even told me if I dont get an answer then status quo. Don't change anything or at least back track to the last set of directions I recieved.<br />Yahwah isn't always safe, but He is good. Meaning if I have something He doesn't want me to have, then Lord I beg you "put the fire to it!"<br />Simon in TassieSimonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945380218619316662.post-32963838004910586132010-09-19T12:01:43.257-04:002010-09-19T12:01:43.257-04:00Brother Joseph,

Not directly, mind you, but in the form of forced changes. And, like you, I am now in "full stop."<br /><br />I wanted to follow Christ and I prayed on how to do that and support my wife and family. He has shown me that my business partner has been taking advantage of me and He made sure that leave my job.<br /><br />OK. That's fine.<br /><br />What's next Lord? How do I do this?<br /> <br />Crickets!<br /><br />LORD!, what should I be doing to support my family and live for you? <br /><br />Nada!<br /><br />Should I be raising capital? <br />Should I sell the house? <br />Should I join the Peace Corps?<br />Should I enter the Ministry?<br />Should I call Brother Joseph and get information on what kind of Voyager van to buy (with Explorer tires and a Pioneer radio)?<br /><br />More crickets.<br /><br />Should I just stop and wait?<br /><br />YES!!!!<br /><br />It is the only thing that get's any response at all from the small voice that I talk at more than I listen to. <br /><br />For the past 25 days I have been doing little more than waiting on the Lord. I feel that we will be given many answers soon. Evil is going to make itself known to all but the evil will be seen as "good" to many. <br /><br />Joseph, as you may recall I have not agreed with your positions in the past. I am still not sure if I am complete agreement. But know this, I completely respect your views and use them to challenge and fortify my own.<br /><br />In the final analysis, we all will stand before Him on our own terms and will face the same standards. I cannot substitute your views for mine if I have not come to them from my own spiritual work.<br /><br />I am doing that work now. I have sold my worldly possessions in my heart if not in actual practice yet, it takes time to sell a house nowadays.<br /><br />I am listening. Waiting. Praying. Asking. What do I do now??<br /><br />Still, crickets.<br /><br />This is very hard for me. I am used to being focused and directed in my life. I have never have been "out of work." There has always something to keep me busy and optimistic.<br /><br />But wait a darn second! I have been "focused and directed" on HIM for the past 25 days. I have been reading a praying more in the past four weeks than I have in the past for months. And still, He tells me through that small voice, Stop. Wait. Listen.<br /><br />It seems to me what He is giving us is that it is His turn to the work. It is His time to bring in the harvest.<br /><br />I, for one, am going to let that small voice be the only thing I listen to from now on. If it says stop. I stop. If it says run, I will run.<br /><br />I am yours with love and respect, <br /><br />DennisD Randallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945380218619316662.post-67128462622331338772010-09-18T18:33:39.918-04:002010-09-18T18:33:39.918-04:00Mr. Herrin,

In fact, I was just commenting to someone at church the other day that time seems to be going faster. I believe that the Lord is going to do a quick work of bringing all things to fulfillment. <br /><br />One of the intercessors in our church frequently reminds us that God is a God who moves "suddenly," when those who aren't prepared don't expect it.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945380218619316662.post-71584511708823271652010-09-17T18:45:39.693-04:002010-09-17T18:45:39.693-04:00Comment #1

While there I noticed a marked difference in the way the Australians and the New Zealanders treated their poor and indigenous (native) people groups. There were other very subtle differences between the two countries, with NZ being more Christ-like. I even consulted a friend who was living in NZ at the time. She had not noticed any of this. Perhaps it was the Holy Spirit’s doing, as He late gave me some assignments to carry out.<br />During a home stay at a sheep farm in Aotearoa /Maori language for NZ (North of Christ Church) I had “forgotten “ to bring along a Thank YOU gift for the host family. Another couple who also stayed there brought a bottle of wine… All I had was the book, “The Prayer of Jabez”. I fought with the Lord, saying, these people will not understand this gift (since they apparently were not Christians). But there was no way out for me. Holy Spirit had me put an awesome (as only He could write) prayer of blessing over the household, using the Prayer of Jabez as the basis. So we know that their territory was about to be expanded!<br />Then while in a Missions Class I draw NZ from the hat, as the country I was responsible for studying and leading the group in prayer for. The two line prayer turned into 15-20 minutes of heartfelt concern for the country and its needs.<br />Imagine my delight when I purchase the Christian CD “Days of Elijah” which was recorded in Aotearoa/ NZ! On this CD Robin Mark (?) first prays “We give you all the glory, Lord. We thank you for your presence. Thank you that your name has been lifted up in this place. We do take time to pray for this project. Instead of saying that no good thing can come out of Nazareth, Lord, 145 nations declare that there is revival and restoration in this part of the world.”<br /> Later a woman announced ”The Bible talks about Praise coming from the ends of the earth,, and that is exactly where we are, NZ. , Aotearoa. And so tonight it is our honor to fulfill the words of Isaiah 24:16 that states, “From the ends of the earth we hear singing!” Glory to the righteous One! Is there any one here tonight that is ready to give glory to righteous King Jesus! “ (Uproar of cheers from the crowd<br />So, it is no mystery that to me that no one was killed in New Zealand’s recent earthquake. The Lord knows the end from the beginning and has had His hand on that place. No wonder He had me pray for and bless the people of NZ, in preparation for revival and later for protection. God is so good and so faithful, if we only follow His lead.<br />Carol In Lexington,KYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945380218619316662.post-8459407635559638282010-09-17T15:26:38.928-04:002010-09-17T15:26:38.928-04:00Amen.

Thanks for bringing this forward.<br /><br />Given what signs I've been seeing, their nature (OBVIOUS) and timing, this really is a key season. Yom Kippur is, by Karaite reckoning, September 19-20, sundown to sundown, Jerusalem time. Seek the Lord personally about specifics as to timing for you, of course. For those of you who work or have other obligations, some advance planning may be called for to free up your time and your families time from distractions. I'm convinced this is that urgent and that important. <br /><br />This holy day has a focus on a corporate accounting in addition to what is on the individual and personal basis, which reminds me to be mindful of intercession as the Lord might call other corporate entities to mind.<br /><br />BobBob Schlenkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889020206773728748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6945380218619316662.post-88309901072997216472010-09-17T13:00:58.358-04:002010-09-17T13:00:58.358-04:00Again,my spirit bares witness with this article. ...Again,my spirit bares witness with this article. <br />My children and I sense time speeding up (and we homeschool!)<br />The other day I had much to accomplish and felt I had no time, so I asked the LORD to give me more time and lo HE did!
