I had been working on software for the QW School and really missing my time with the LordAnd He gave me a dream where I was in a school with lots of hallways and rooms but theschool was empty so far I was getting hungry and so I asked an angel in the hallway if therewas a place for a quick bite to eat like a kiosk The angel was at the very other end of the halland had poked his head around the corner anticipating my need and question He shook hishead yes then pantomimed and pointed down the stairs and then to the right He had a verycheerful countenance and smiled really big

I went down there and the stairs looked too steep for me and I looked back and said are youSURE there is food down there He smiled poked his head again around the corner to helpme and shook his head YES So I slide down the banister and went to the right There was adouble entrance way completely opened to a nice sit down restaurant I hesitated because Idid not know if I wanted to take the time to sit down and eat

WOA DIVINE SIGNS 102108 Within 3 weeks of each other two of my top students missed being in different train wrecks withinminutes Both accidents were because one ran a red stop signal and the other slowed down dueto a faulty signal In the same time period I had a vision where words on a page were whizzing byso that I could not see what I was actually viewing It was all a blur I felt the Lord was saying tome ldquoYou donrsquot need to travel so fastrdquo I also was on some prednisone medication that wasspeeding up my heart rate and giving me a lot of nervous energy that I was not used to I could

not sleep more than 6 hours due to pain so I was also getting a LOT done on my laptop in a littleamount of time

During all of this I was in a pain flare and could not push the handle forward on my easy chair toget out So my husband found an old cardboard tube he had saved out of the garbage of somethingI had thrown away a long time ago This tube had held a huge piece of felt where one can build jigsaw puzzles on top of it The feltcame in this very strong super duper cardboard tube Wayne brought it in from who knows whereand put it over the easy chair handle I had instant leverage to wrap my arm around it to movemy chair handle down to get out It was awesome So for a week or so I had been using thisamazing gizmo that kept reminding me of old brake handles on trains Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Yes I did catch the Lordrsquos Word in regards to this SLOW DOWNPUT ON THE BRAKES I want to spend some time with you QUICKENED EYE GLANCE AMAZING CONFIRMATION After I finished building the home for thenew QW School I was trying out some of the new software to learn what it could do I wasworking on some foundation lessons of ldquoWhy Does God Speak through Puzzlesrdquo and ldquoHow Does GodSpeak Through Puzzlesrdquo One day I had a quickened eye glance and read the label on thecardboard tube ldquoPUZZLE MASTERrdquo This blew me away I had not even connected the idea that Iwas working on the first two foundation lessons about puzzles and here was Godrsquos divine sign justWAITING for me to see He is SO patient with us waiting in the background waiting to give us allHis wonderful Words if we would just stop and listen ANOTHER CONFIRMATION I opened my book 101 Ways God Speaks to find the graphic of apuzzle and came to this page Here is an excerpt

STOP TAKE TIME PONDER LISTENWithout using our will and deciding to make these four choices we become like alocomotive with no brakes We build up steam stay in one gear and propel forwardwithout taking time to view the scenery Each rail zooms by as we become lost in ourgoal of reading and forget to look where we are going Instead we should try riding achildrenrsquos train that has no particular destination in mind other than to look and be apart of the fun What is the fun The fun is HEARING HIM The love the zeal the joy in life isRELATIONSHIP with HIM Finding the fun is removing the locomotive race in our mindsand reading with the intent of listening to what He has to say Yet without the decisionto stop and the desire to hear Him reading the Bible becomes just another pursuit ofknowledge The key to doing anything in life is to do it WITH HIMrdquoend excerpt quote

CLASS ACTIVITYThe following 2 questions are here to help you ponder with the Holy Spirit and alsothe scriptures I came up with 5 possible answers for question one and 2 possibleanswers for question two In asking these questions I do not expect you to ldquoproducerdquothe answers that I have prepared to share with you The purpose is not for you tosearch my mind but instead to search the Holy Spiritrsquos heart as to what the Lordwould say to you about these things When you respond always try to connect whatyou say with scripture How did I know it was an angelMany have seen angels in their dreams without realizing it That is becauseministering angels look like humans The main difference is that their countenance isloving peaceful and kind The angel was smiling and eager to help The role ofangels is to be there to help us get to our destination in the Lord They are here onearth to minister to us and usually appear very friendly and helpful Heb 132 NLTDont forget to show hospitality to strangers for some who have done this haveentertained angels without realizing it Heb 114 AMPAre not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God forthe assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation

QUESTION ONE Why was the angel pantomiming1 The word ldquosignrdquo language is quickened to me Pantomiming is a series of gesturesor sign language I feel this action points to the idea that we are now living in a timewhen God will be speaking through signs and wonders

Acts 143 NKJVTherefore they stayed there a long time speaking boldly in the Lord who wasbearing witness to the word of His grace granting signs and wonders to bedone by their hands

2 Because sometimes the details of our spiritual experiences can also represent ourlevel of intimacy with the Lord This angel was far away not up front close personalNot eye to eye He was not speaking face to face However I was not abandoned hewas there The distance of the angel represented how I was feeling in my relationship with theLord I was swamped in work and although I was constantly praying for help in thesoftware and receiving it and I was also continuing to hear and see at night I wasnot receiving anything out of it because I was not spending any sit down time withHim during the day I was just pressing through straight uphill until I got thebreakthrough 3 Because of the level of receptivity or level of faith

Matt 1358 NKJV

Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief

There has been a lot of internet persecution of the prophetic when they talk about theministry of angels Angels are allowed to minister to the degree we allow them intoour lives We need to be grateful for every kind of help and helper God sends ourwayNeither do we worship angels we worship the Lord and cling to the Lord for His helpPaul also warned us of keeping the gospel of Jesus Christ unchanged

Col 217-19Let no one cheat you of your reward taking delight in false humility and worshipof angels intruding into those things which he has not seen vainly puffed upby his fleshly mind and not holding fast to the Head from whom all the bodynourished and knit together by joints and ligaments grows with the increasethat is from God Gal 16-9 NLTI am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God who in his love andmercy called you to share the eternal life he gives through Christ You arealready following a different way 7 that pretends to be the Good News but is notthe Good News at all You are being fooled by those who twist and change thetruth concerning Christ 8 Let Gods curse fall on anyone including myself whopreaches any other message than the one we told you about Even if an angelcomes from heaven and preaches any other message let him be forevercursed 9 I will say it again If anyone preaches any other gospel than the oneyou welcomed let Gods curse fall upon that person

Many years ago I went through a season where I was first hearing angels and Iworried about it and started to ignore and turn this gift off I became very sifted in thewhole thing Finally I had a dream where I was driving around a corner and slid overto the side of the road backwards A team of angels came to help get my car back onthe road again They came to my window and started pantomiming that they werethere to help me They were so kind and friendly to me in their faces and gesturesBut they did not say a thing In the dream I knew exactly why they were not speakingbecause I had turned them away And yet there was not one look of disapproval orjudgment only Godrsquos love and pleasure to serve and help me get going again Along the same lines there are some that do not believe there are female lookingangels Above all we do not generate new doctrines from spiritual experienceswithout scripture backing The following is scriptural proof that there are womenlooking angels even with wings

Here are the scriptures Zech 59-11 NKJV Then I raised my eyes and looked and there were two women coming with thewind in their wings for they had wings like the wings of a stork and they liftedup the basket between earth and heaven So I said to the angel who talked withme Where are they carrying the basket And he said to me To build ahouse for it in the land of Shinar when it is ready the basket will be set thereon its base

Matt 2230 AMP For in the resurrected state neither do [men] marry nor are [women] given inmarriage but they are like the angels in heaven

4 Because sometimes angels are used as signs to point the way

Isa 3020-21 NKJVYet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore But your eyes shallsee your teachers Your ears shall hear a word behind you saying This is theway walk in it Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn tothe left What did the environment of the angel communicate TEACHERSOT3384OT3384 yarah (yaw-raw) or (2 Chron 2615) yara (yaw-raw) a primitive rootproperly to flow as water (ie to rain) transitively to lay or throw (especially anarrow ie to shoot) figuratively to point out (as if by aiming the finger) toteachKJV - (+)archer cast direct inform instruct lay shew shoot teach (-ering-)through

Before I spoke he was anticipating my need by popping his head around the cornerwhen I turned back to ask to be reassured I think the detail that he was at a cornerwhere the 2 school hallways met was relevant to the above scripture that in theselast days God will manifest angelic and human helpers more and more especiallywhen we are at a crossroads and need help in making the turn in the right direction 5 God was not mad at me Angels are from the spirit world and do not usuallycommunicate with sound in the voice it is usually via the Spirit like to the mind in thesame way conversations take place in dreams However the following possibility alsocame to me In the natural or in the ldquofleshrdquo it would have required a normal person toraise their voice in order to communicate that distance The Lord brought thisscripture into remembrance

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

To me it was a reminder that God doesnrsquot yell at me and He was not mad at me Ihad spent 6-8 weeks away from catching up on typing my rhema and really spendingpriority time with Him I was climbing straight up hill in the learning curve crying outto Him day and night for His help and was amazed to notice His supernatural helpthe whole way through It was a wonderful comfort to my soul and faith However I was feeling very guilty that I was not spending my normal time with Him inthe mornings I knew I had a window of time to get it done before my rhema ran outthat was Pending on line and so I knew I had to cover a lot of territory in shortamount of time Towards the end the condemnation I was trying to overcome with

staying away was increasing and my soul was also very weary I missed our timetogether terribly and started really whining to hear Him I became so sifted with thewhole process I actually wondered if I was going to lose my watchmanrsquos position Bythat time I knew I had to STOP This dream was such an amazing loving balm to my soul That angelrsquos smile ofencouragement was so loving there was simply not one ounce of condemnation orcorrection at all It was a good parable that the distance between us was definitely aldquosignrdquo to my relationship with the Lord at the time But even though I could not seethe Lord He was readily there the moment I called REVELATION I think the following scripture is a wonderful key because we havenow entered a time on the earth when He will be bringing forth His justice upon theearth It will be a fearful and awe-filled time to be alive upon the earth where we willeach learn the fear of the Lord and His Word And yet His mercy to protect a flowerfrom getting crushed is tender and humble as He bends down low to lift us up

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

QUESTION TWO Why was the restaurant downstairs instead of theschool level Going to lower places to me represents humbling oneself To ask seek searchknock beg etc all represent admitting a need and humbling oneself to request helpTo humble oneself is the opposite of an independent spirit who can do it without help

Rev 317-20 NKJVBecause you say I am rich have become wealthy and have need of nothing mdash and do not know that you are wretched miserable poor blind and naked mdash18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire that you may be richand white garments that you may be clothed that the shame of yournakedness may not be revealed and anoint your eyes with eye salve that youmay see 19 As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealousand repent 20 Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voiceand opens the door I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me

Lower or basement levels can represent foundations and also servant hood

1 Cor 311 NKJVFor no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is JesusChrist Matt 2311-12 NKJVBut he who is greatest among you shall be your servant And whoever exalts

himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted Luke 147-11 NKJVSo He told a parable to those who were invited when He noted how they chosethe best places saying to them 8 When you are invited by anyone to awedding feast do not sit down in the best place lest one more honorable thanyou be invited by him 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to youGive place to this man and then you begin with shame to take the lowestplace 10 But when you are invited go and sit down in the lowest place so thatwhen he who invited you comes he may say to you Friend go up higher Thenyou will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you 11 Forwhoever exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will beexalted

The phrase ldquoa basementrdquo is a word pun for abasement

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY WAS THE ANGEL PANTOMIMING

The angel was sent as a guide and to instruct he gave signs and she was tointerpret what those signs meant

God does not always speak He sometimes gives signs and we are to interpret thosesigns to find the heart and mind of God and to know what He is speaking to us at thattime

My first reaction was the silence without words which means a conversation isprivate and between the one who is pantomiming and the one who is receiving thegestures from and angel

Our military uses hand gestures to get a secret message to each other when incombat in order to keep the enemy from hearing the voices So to me the angelpantomiming would mean secret directions

I think the angel was pantomiming to encourage her to grow and develop and useher senses instead of having everything ready made

To show that God was not angry that we are so busy amp He has a sense of humor

Also pantomiming lures us into the mystery to understand what he is saying just asGod woos us with a parable or mystery to intrigue us

There is a journey involved in searching Him out We must come outside the camp

The steepness of the stairs amp your comment on I dont know if I can do that refers tothe place we must meet him out of our comfort zone not in our own strength but aplace of total humility

Pantomiming gesture Rogets Thes Dictionary (sign pointed signal signaled) Angel messenger

Why The angel in the dream was pantomiming which confirmedtied together theDivine Signs signals in 102108 message from the Lord The angel was makinggestures to indicate that this was what the Lord was doing in trying get your attentionThe steps to the right place to eat

Sometimes the Lord speaks to not in just a spoken word that we must still besensitive to be able to hear Thus the angel was pantomiming the directions Wouldwe understand through this kind of direction

Song of Solomon 31-4On my bed night after night I sought him whom my soul loves I sought him but didnot find him I must arise now and goI must seek him whom my soul loves Thewatchmen who make the rounds in the city found me Scarcely had I left them whenI found him whom my soul loves

[Perhaps] the angel was a watchman The verse doesnt say there were wordsexchangedie the watchman silent The pantomime would be help offered butwithout the distraction of words The quest was unbroken

Hebrews 24God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miraclesand by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will

We have to be open to use all of our senses in hearing Gods voice Never forgettingthat Jesus spoke in parables showed people His love thru signs and wonders If weignore signs or the use of all of our senses we will miss what God is trying to showus Just think if the 3 wise men had ignored the star what they would have missed

I think the angel was pantomiming possibly as a way to get your attention Typically ifyou ask someone something they will tell you verbally as well as gesture and aspantomiming is different it would capture my attention at any rate Also it may referto the many ways that God speaks to us that are not perfectly clear at first glancejust as when you looked to where the angel was telling you his gestures made moresense to you He was also quick to reassure you of the appropriate direction to gowhen you looked back to question him

I believe it has to do with the manner of communication we are using For now onlySandys fingers are talking

I think that the angel was not using words because God is expanding ourunderstanding of how He speaks--by pantomime you were forced to pay attentionwith your eyes to what the Lord is sayingdirecting you

(Jesus did those things that He saw the Father doing Hes teaching us to see aswell as hear

He wanted you to fellow His direction as He point them out to you Because the stepsof a righteous man are order by God

Pantomime-a mute gesture getting your attention motioning giving direction withoutwords

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

HE SPEAKS IN CIRCLING THROUGH TIME

ldquoOh Lord You have examined my heart and know everything about me You know when Isit or stand When far away you know my every thought You chart the path ahead of me

and tell me where to stop and rest Every moment you know where I am You know what Iam going to say before I even say it You both precede6 and follow6 me and place your

hand of blessing on my headrdquo (Psalm 1391-5 TLB) Educators have studied and analyzed how people learn There are various learningtheories and one is the spiral method It is similar to a spiraling funnel of information circlingoutward Many textbooks are built upon this theory In the early childhood years issuesare introduced As each year passes more and more information is built around thoseoriginal ideas

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

I had been working on software for the QW School and really missing my time with the LordAnd He gave me a dream where I was in a school with lots of hallways and rooms but theschool was empty so far I was getting hungry and so I asked an angel in the hallway if therewas a place for a quick bite to eat like a kiosk The angel was at the very other end of the halland had poked his head around the corner anticipating my need and question He shook hishead yes then pantomimed and pointed down the stairs and then to the right He had a verycheerful countenance and smiled really big

I went down there and the stairs looked too steep for me and I looked back and said are youSURE there is food down there He smiled poked his head again around the corner to helpme and shook his head YES So I slide down the banister and went to the right There was adouble entrance way completely opened to a nice sit down restaurant I hesitated because Idid not know if I wanted to take the time to sit down and eat

not sleep more than 6 hours due to pain so I was also getting a LOT done on my laptop in a littleamount of time

During all of this I was in a pain flare and could not push the handle forward on my easy chair toget out So my husband found an old cardboard tube he had saved out of the garbage of somethingI had thrown away a long time ago This tube had held a huge piece of felt where one can build jigsaw puzzles on top of it The feltcame in this very strong super duper cardboard tube Wayne brought it in from who knows whereand put it over the easy chair handle I had instant leverage to wrap my arm around it to movemy chair handle down to get out It was awesome So for a week or so I had been using thisamazing gizmo that kept reminding me of old brake handles on trains Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Yes I did catch the Lordrsquos Word in regards to this SLOW DOWNPUT ON THE BRAKES I want to spend some time with you QUICKENED EYE GLANCE AMAZING CONFIRMATION After I finished building the home for thenew QW School I was trying out some of the new software to learn what it could do I wasworking on some foundation lessons of ldquoWhy Does God Speak through Puzzlesrdquo and ldquoHow Does GodSpeak Through Puzzlesrdquo One day I had a quickened eye glance and read the label on thecardboard tube ldquoPUZZLE MASTERrdquo This blew me away I had not even connected the idea that Iwas working on the first two foundation lessons about puzzles and here was Godrsquos divine sign justWAITING for me to see He is SO patient with us waiting in the background waiting to give us allHis wonderful Words if we would just stop and listen ANOTHER CONFIRMATION I opened my book 101 Ways God Speaks to find the graphic of apuzzle and came to this page Here is an excerpt

CLASS ACTIVITYThe following 2 questions are here to help you ponder with the Holy Spirit and alsothe scriptures I came up with 5 possible answers for question one and 2 possibleanswers for question two In asking these questions I do not expect you to ldquoproducerdquothe answers that I have prepared to share with you The purpose is not for you tosearch my mind but instead to search the Holy Spiritrsquos heart as to what the Lordwould say to you about these things When you respond always try to connect whatyou say with scripture How did I know it was an angelMany have seen angels in their dreams without realizing it That is becauseministering angels look like humans The main difference is that their countenance isloving peaceful and kind The angel was smiling and eager to help The role ofangels is to be there to help us get to our destination in the Lord They are here onearth to minister to us and usually appear very friendly and helpful Heb 132 NLTDont forget to show hospitality to strangers for some who have done this haveentertained angels without realizing it Heb 114 AMPAre not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God forthe assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation

QUESTION ONE Why was the angel pantomiming1 The word ldquosignrdquo language is quickened to me Pantomiming is a series of gesturesor sign language I feel this action points to the idea that we are now living in a timewhen God will be speaking through signs and wonders

Acts 143 NKJVTherefore they stayed there a long time speaking boldly in the Lord who wasbearing witness to the word of His grace granting signs and wonders to bedone by their hands

2 Because sometimes the details of our spiritual experiences can also represent ourlevel of intimacy with the Lord This angel was far away not up front close personalNot eye to eye He was not speaking face to face However I was not abandoned hewas there The distance of the angel represented how I was feeling in my relationship with theLord I was swamped in work and although I was constantly praying for help in thesoftware and receiving it and I was also continuing to hear and see at night I wasnot receiving anything out of it because I was not spending any sit down time withHim during the day I was just pressing through straight uphill until I got thebreakthrough 3 Because of the level of receptivity or level of faith

Matt 1358 NKJV

Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief

There has been a lot of internet persecution of the prophetic when they talk about theministry of angels Angels are allowed to minister to the degree we allow them intoour lives We need to be grateful for every kind of help and helper God sends ourwayNeither do we worship angels we worship the Lord and cling to the Lord for His helpPaul also warned us of keeping the gospel of Jesus Christ unchanged

Col 217-19Let no one cheat you of your reward taking delight in false humility and worshipof angels intruding into those things which he has not seen vainly puffed upby his fleshly mind and not holding fast to the Head from whom all the bodynourished and knit together by joints and ligaments grows with the increasethat is from God Gal 16-9 NLTI am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God who in his love andmercy called you to share the eternal life he gives through Christ You arealready following a different way 7 that pretends to be the Good News but is notthe Good News at all You are being fooled by those who twist and change thetruth concerning Christ 8 Let Gods curse fall on anyone including myself whopreaches any other message than the one we told you about Even if an angelcomes from heaven and preaches any other message let him be forevercursed 9 I will say it again If anyone preaches any other gospel than the oneyou welcomed let Gods curse fall upon that person

Many years ago I went through a season where I was first hearing angels and Iworried about it and started to ignore and turn this gift off I became very sifted in thewhole thing Finally I had a dream where I was driving around a corner and slid overto the side of the road backwards A team of angels came to help get my car back onthe road again They came to my window and started pantomiming that they werethere to help me They were so kind and friendly to me in their faces and gesturesBut they did not say a thing In the dream I knew exactly why they were not speakingbecause I had turned them away And yet there was not one look of disapproval orjudgment only Godrsquos love and pleasure to serve and help me get going again Along the same lines there are some that do not believe there are female lookingangels Above all we do not generate new doctrines from spiritual experienceswithout scripture backing The following is scriptural proof that there are womenlooking angels even with wings

Here are the scriptures Zech 59-11 NKJV Then I raised my eyes and looked and there were two women coming with thewind in their wings for they had wings like the wings of a stork and they liftedup the basket between earth and heaven So I said to the angel who talked withme Where are they carrying the basket And he said to me To build ahouse for it in the land of Shinar when it is ready the basket will be set thereon its base

Matt 2230 AMP For in the resurrected state neither do [men] marry nor are [women] given inmarriage but they are like the angels in heaven

4 Because sometimes angels are used as signs to point the way

Isa 3020-21 NKJVYet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore But your eyes shallsee your teachers Your ears shall hear a word behind you saying This is theway walk in it Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn tothe left What did the environment of the angel communicate TEACHERSOT3384OT3384 yarah (yaw-raw) or (2 Chron 2615) yara (yaw-raw) a primitive rootproperly to flow as water (ie to rain) transitively to lay or throw (especially anarrow ie to shoot) figuratively to point out (as if by aiming the finger) toteachKJV - (+)archer cast direct inform instruct lay shew shoot teach (-ering-)through

Before I spoke he was anticipating my need by popping his head around the cornerwhen I turned back to ask to be reassured I think the detail that he was at a cornerwhere the 2 school hallways met was relevant to the above scripture that in theselast days God will manifest angelic and human helpers more and more especiallywhen we are at a crossroads and need help in making the turn in the right direction 5 God was not mad at me Angels are from the spirit world and do not usuallycommunicate with sound in the voice it is usually via the Spirit like to the mind in thesame way conversations take place in dreams However the following possibility alsocame to me In the natural or in the ldquofleshrdquo it would have required a normal person toraise their voice in order to communicate that distance The Lord brought thisscripture into remembrance

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

To me it was a reminder that God doesnrsquot yell at me and He was not mad at me Ihad spent 6-8 weeks away from catching up on typing my rhema and really spendingpriority time with Him I was climbing straight up hill in the learning curve crying outto Him day and night for His help and was amazed to notice His supernatural helpthe whole way through It was a wonderful comfort to my soul and faith However I was feeling very guilty that I was not spending my normal time with Him inthe mornings I knew I had a window of time to get it done before my rhema ran outthat was Pending on line and so I knew I had to cover a lot of territory in shortamount of time Towards the end the condemnation I was trying to overcome with

staying away was increasing and my soul was also very weary I missed our timetogether terribly and started really whining to hear Him I became so sifted with thewhole process I actually wondered if I was going to lose my watchmanrsquos position Bythat time I knew I had to STOP This dream was such an amazing loving balm to my soul That angelrsquos smile ofencouragement was so loving there was simply not one ounce of condemnation orcorrection at all It was a good parable that the distance between us was definitely aldquosignrdquo to my relationship with the Lord at the time But even though I could not seethe Lord He was readily there the moment I called REVELATION I think the following scripture is a wonderful key because we havenow entered a time on the earth when He will be bringing forth His justice upon theearth It will be a fearful and awe-filled time to be alive upon the earth where we willeach learn the fear of the Lord and His Word And yet His mercy to protect a flowerfrom getting crushed is tender and humble as He bends down low to lift us up

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

QUESTION TWO Why was the restaurant downstairs instead of theschool level Going to lower places to me represents humbling oneself To ask seek searchknock beg etc all represent admitting a need and humbling oneself to request helpTo humble oneself is the opposite of an independent spirit who can do it without help

Rev 317-20 NKJVBecause you say I am rich have become wealthy and have need of nothing mdash and do not know that you are wretched miserable poor blind and naked mdash18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire that you may be richand white garments that you may be clothed that the shame of yournakedness may not be revealed and anoint your eyes with eye salve that youmay see 19 As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealousand repent 20 Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voiceand opens the door I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me

Lower or basement levels can represent foundations and also servant hood

1 Cor 311 NKJVFor no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is JesusChrist Matt 2311-12 NKJVBut he who is greatest among you shall be your servant And whoever exalts

himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted Luke 147-11 NKJVSo He told a parable to those who were invited when He noted how they chosethe best places saying to them 8 When you are invited by anyone to awedding feast do not sit down in the best place lest one more honorable thanyou be invited by him 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to youGive place to this man and then you begin with shame to take the lowestplace 10 But when you are invited go and sit down in the lowest place so thatwhen he who invited you comes he may say to you Friend go up higher Thenyou will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you 11 Forwhoever exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will beexalted

The phrase ldquoa basementrdquo is a word pun for abasement

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY WAS THE ANGEL PANTOMIMING

The angel was sent as a guide and to instruct he gave signs and she was tointerpret what those signs meant

God does not always speak He sometimes gives signs and we are to interpret thosesigns to find the heart and mind of God and to know what He is speaking to us at thattime

My first reaction was the silence without words which means a conversation isprivate and between the one who is pantomiming and the one who is receiving thegestures from and angel

Our military uses hand gestures to get a secret message to each other when incombat in order to keep the enemy from hearing the voices So to me the angelpantomiming would mean secret directions

I think the angel was pantomiming to encourage her to grow and develop and useher senses instead of having everything ready made

To show that God was not angry that we are so busy amp He has a sense of humor

Also pantomiming lures us into the mystery to understand what he is saying just asGod woos us with a parable or mystery to intrigue us

There is a journey involved in searching Him out We must come outside the camp

The steepness of the stairs amp your comment on I dont know if I can do that refers tothe place we must meet him out of our comfort zone not in our own strength but aplace of total humility

Pantomiming gesture Rogets Thes Dictionary (sign pointed signal signaled) Angel messenger

Why The angel in the dream was pantomiming which confirmedtied together theDivine Signs signals in 102108 message from the Lord The angel was makinggestures to indicate that this was what the Lord was doing in trying get your attentionThe steps to the right place to eat

Sometimes the Lord speaks to not in just a spoken word that we must still besensitive to be able to hear Thus the angel was pantomiming the directions Wouldwe understand through this kind of direction

Song of Solomon 31-4On my bed night after night I sought him whom my soul loves I sought him but didnot find him I must arise now and goI must seek him whom my soul loves Thewatchmen who make the rounds in the city found me Scarcely had I left them whenI found him whom my soul loves

[Perhaps] the angel was a watchman The verse doesnt say there were wordsexchangedie the watchman silent The pantomime would be help offered butwithout the distraction of words The quest was unbroken

Hebrews 24God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miraclesand by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will

We have to be open to use all of our senses in hearing Gods voice Never forgettingthat Jesus spoke in parables showed people His love thru signs and wonders If weignore signs or the use of all of our senses we will miss what God is trying to showus Just think if the 3 wise men had ignored the star what they would have missed

I think the angel was pantomiming possibly as a way to get your attention Typically ifyou ask someone something they will tell you verbally as well as gesture and aspantomiming is different it would capture my attention at any rate Also it may referto the many ways that God speaks to us that are not perfectly clear at first glancejust as when you looked to where the angel was telling you his gestures made moresense to you He was also quick to reassure you of the appropriate direction to gowhen you looked back to question him

I believe it has to do with the manner of communication we are using For now onlySandys fingers are talking

I think that the angel was not using words because God is expanding ourunderstanding of how He speaks--by pantomime you were forced to pay attentionwith your eyes to what the Lord is sayingdirecting you

(Jesus did those things that He saw the Father doing Hes teaching us to see aswell as hear

He wanted you to fellow His direction as He point them out to you Because the stepsof a righteous man are order by God

Pantomime-a mute gesture getting your attention motioning giving direction withoutwords

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

TIMING

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

HE SPEAKS IN CIRCLING THROUGH TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoOh Lord You have examined my heart and know everything about me You know when Isit or stand When far away you know my every thought You chart the path ahead of me

and tell me where to stop and rest Every moment you know where I am You know what Iam going to say before I even say it You both precede6 and follow6 me and place your

hand of blessing on my headrdquo (Psalm 1391-5 TLB) Educators have studied and analyzed how people learn There are various learningtheories and one is the spiral method It is similar to a spiraling funnel of information circlingoutward Many textbooks are built upon this theory In the early childhood years issuesare introduced As each year passes more and more information is built around thoseoriginal ideas

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

I had been working on software for the QW School and really missing my time with the LordAnd He gave me a dream where I was in a school with lots of hallways and rooms but theschool was empty so far I was getting hungry and so I asked an angel in the hallway if therewas a place for a quick bite to eat like a kiosk The angel was at the very other end of the halland had poked his head around the corner anticipating my need and question He shook hishead yes then pantomimed and pointed down the stairs and then to the right He had a verycheerful countenance and smiled really big

I went down there and the stairs looked too steep for me and I looked back and said are youSURE there is food down there He smiled poked his head again around the corner to helpme and shook his head YES So I slide down the banister and went to the right There was adouble entrance way completely opened to a nice sit down restaurant I hesitated because Idid not know if I wanted to take the time to sit down and eat

CLASS ACTIVITYThe following 2 questions are here to help you ponder with the Holy Spirit and alsothe scriptures I came up with 5 possible answers for question one and 2 possibleanswers for question two In asking these questions I do not expect you to ldquoproducerdquothe answers that I have prepared to share with you The purpose is not for you tosearch my mind but instead to search the Holy Spiritrsquos heart as to what the Lordwould say to you about these things When you respond always try to connect whatyou say with scripture How did I know it was an angelMany have seen angels in their dreams without realizing it That is becauseministering angels look like humans The main difference is that their countenance isloving peaceful and kind The angel was smiling and eager to help The role ofangels is to be there to help us get to our destination in the Lord They are here onearth to minister to us and usually appear very friendly and helpful Heb 132 NLTDont forget to show hospitality to strangers for some who have done this haveentertained angels without realizing it Heb 114 AMPAre not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God forthe assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation

QUESTION ONE Why was the angel pantomiming1 The word ldquosignrdquo language is quickened to me Pantomiming is a series of gesturesor sign language I feel this action points to the idea that we are now living in a timewhen God will be speaking through signs and wonders

Acts 143 NKJVTherefore they stayed there a long time speaking boldly in the Lord who wasbearing witness to the word of His grace granting signs and wonders to bedone by their hands

2 Because sometimes the details of our spiritual experiences can also represent ourlevel of intimacy with the Lord This angel was far away not up front close personalNot eye to eye He was not speaking face to face However I was not abandoned hewas there The distance of the angel represented how I was feeling in my relationship with theLord I was swamped in work and although I was constantly praying for help in thesoftware and receiving it and I was also continuing to hear and see at night I wasnot receiving anything out of it because I was not spending any sit down time withHim during the day I was just pressing through straight uphill until I got thebreakthrough 3 Because of the level of receptivity or level of faith

Matt 1358 NKJV

Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief

There has been a lot of internet persecution of the prophetic when they talk about theministry of angels Angels are allowed to minister to the degree we allow them intoour lives We need to be grateful for every kind of help and helper God sends ourwayNeither do we worship angels we worship the Lord and cling to the Lord for His helpPaul also warned us of keeping the gospel of Jesus Christ unchanged

Col 217-19Let no one cheat you of your reward taking delight in false humility and worshipof angels intruding into those things which he has not seen vainly puffed upby his fleshly mind and not holding fast to the Head from whom all the bodynourished and knit together by joints and ligaments grows with the increasethat is from God Gal 16-9 NLTI am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God who in his love andmercy called you to share the eternal life he gives through Christ You arealready following a different way 7 that pretends to be the Good News but is notthe Good News at all You are being fooled by those who twist and change thetruth concerning Christ 8 Let Gods curse fall on anyone including myself whopreaches any other message than the one we told you about Even if an angelcomes from heaven and preaches any other message let him be forevercursed 9 I will say it again If anyone preaches any other gospel than the oneyou welcomed let Gods curse fall upon that person

Many years ago I went through a season where I was first hearing angels and Iworried about it and started to ignore and turn this gift off I became very sifted in thewhole thing Finally I had a dream where I was driving around a corner and slid overto the side of the road backwards A team of angels came to help get my car back onthe road again They came to my window and started pantomiming that they werethere to help me They were so kind and friendly to me in their faces and gesturesBut they did not say a thing In the dream I knew exactly why they were not speakingbecause I had turned them away And yet there was not one look of disapproval orjudgment only Godrsquos love and pleasure to serve and help me get going again Along the same lines there are some that do not believe there are female lookingangels Above all we do not generate new doctrines from spiritual experienceswithout scripture backing The following is scriptural proof that there are womenlooking angels even with wings

Here are the scriptures Zech 59-11 NKJV Then I raised my eyes and looked and there were two women coming with thewind in their wings for they had wings like the wings of a stork and they liftedup the basket between earth and heaven So I said to the angel who talked withme Where are they carrying the basket And he said to me To build ahouse for it in the land of Shinar when it is ready the basket will be set thereon its base

Matt 2230 AMP For in the resurrected state neither do [men] marry nor are [women] given inmarriage but they are like the angels in heaven

4 Because sometimes angels are used as signs to point the way

Isa 3020-21 NKJVYet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore But your eyes shallsee your teachers Your ears shall hear a word behind you saying This is theway walk in it Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn tothe left What did the environment of the angel communicate TEACHERSOT3384OT3384 yarah (yaw-raw) or (2 Chron 2615) yara (yaw-raw) a primitive rootproperly to flow as water (ie to rain) transitively to lay or throw (especially anarrow ie to shoot) figuratively to point out (as if by aiming the finger) toteachKJV - (+)archer cast direct inform instruct lay shew shoot teach (-ering-)through

Before I spoke he was anticipating my need by popping his head around the cornerwhen I turned back to ask to be reassured I think the detail that he was at a cornerwhere the 2 school hallways met was relevant to the above scripture that in theselast days God will manifest angelic and human helpers more and more especiallywhen we are at a crossroads and need help in making the turn in the right direction 5 God was not mad at me Angels are from the spirit world and do not usuallycommunicate with sound in the voice it is usually via the Spirit like to the mind in thesame way conversations take place in dreams However the following possibility alsocame to me In the natural or in the ldquofleshrdquo it would have required a normal person toraise their voice in order to communicate that distance The Lord brought thisscripture into remembrance

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

To me it was a reminder that God doesnrsquot yell at me and He was not mad at me Ihad spent 6-8 weeks away from catching up on typing my rhema and really spendingpriority time with Him I was climbing straight up hill in the learning curve crying outto Him day and night for His help and was amazed to notice His supernatural helpthe whole way through It was a wonderful comfort to my soul and faith However I was feeling very guilty that I was not spending my normal time with Him inthe mornings I knew I had a window of time to get it done before my rhema ran outthat was Pending on line and so I knew I had to cover a lot of territory in shortamount of time Towards the end the condemnation I was trying to overcome with

staying away was increasing and my soul was also very weary I missed our timetogether terribly and started really whining to hear Him I became so sifted with thewhole process I actually wondered if I was going to lose my watchmanrsquos position Bythat time I knew I had to STOP This dream was such an amazing loving balm to my soul That angelrsquos smile ofencouragement was so loving there was simply not one ounce of condemnation orcorrection at all It was a good parable that the distance between us was definitely aldquosignrdquo to my relationship with the Lord at the time But even though I could not seethe Lord He was readily there the moment I called REVELATION I think the following scripture is a wonderful key because we havenow entered a time on the earth when He will be bringing forth His justice upon theearth It will be a fearful and awe-filled time to be alive upon the earth where we willeach learn the fear of the Lord and His Word And yet His mercy to protect a flowerfrom getting crushed is tender and humble as He bends down low to lift us up

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

QUESTION TWO Why was the restaurant downstairs instead of theschool level Going to lower places to me represents humbling oneself To ask seek searchknock beg etc all represent admitting a need and humbling oneself to request helpTo humble oneself is the opposite of an independent spirit who can do it without help

Rev 317-20 NKJVBecause you say I am rich have become wealthy and have need of nothing mdash and do not know that you are wretched miserable poor blind and naked mdash18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire that you may be richand white garments that you may be clothed that the shame of yournakedness may not be revealed and anoint your eyes with eye salve that youmay see 19 As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealousand repent 20 Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voiceand opens the door I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me

Lower or basement levels can represent foundations and also servant hood

1 Cor 311 NKJVFor no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is JesusChrist Matt 2311-12 NKJVBut he who is greatest among you shall be your servant And whoever exalts

himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted Luke 147-11 NKJVSo He told a parable to those who were invited when He noted how they chosethe best places saying to them 8 When you are invited by anyone to awedding feast do not sit down in the best place lest one more honorable thanyou be invited by him 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to youGive place to this man and then you begin with shame to take the lowestplace 10 But when you are invited go and sit down in the lowest place so thatwhen he who invited you comes he may say to you Friend go up higher Thenyou will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you 11 Forwhoever exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will beexalted

The phrase ldquoa basementrdquo is a word pun for abasement

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY WAS THE ANGEL PANTOMIMING

The angel was sent as a guide and to instruct he gave signs and she was tointerpret what those signs meant

God does not always speak He sometimes gives signs and we are to interpret thosesigns to find the heart and mind of God and to know what He is speaking to us at thattime

My first reaction was the silence without words which means a conversation isprivate and between the one who is pantomiming and the one who is receiving thegestures from and angel

Our military uses hand gestures to get a secret message to each other when incombat in order to keep the enemy from hearing the voices So to me the angelpantomiming would mean secret directions

I think the angel was pantomiming to encourage her to grow and develop and useher senses instead of having everything ready made

To show that God was not angry that we are so busy amp He has a sense of humor

Also pantomiming lures us into the mystery to understand what he is saying just asGod woos us with a parable or mystery to intrigue us

There is a journey involved in searching Him out We must come outside the camp

The steepness of the stairs amp your comment on I dont know if I can do that refers tothe place we must meet him out of our comfort zone not in our own strength but aplace of total humility

Pantomiming gesture Rogets Thes Dictionary (sign pointed signal signaled) Angel messenger

Why The angel in the dream was pantomiming which confirmedtied together theDivine Signs signals in 102108 message from the Lord The angel was makinggestures to indicate that this was what the Lord was doing in trying get your attentionThe steps to the right place to eat

Sometimes the Lord speaks to not in just a spoken word that we must still besensitive to be able to hear Thus the angel was pantomiming the directions Wouldwe understand through this kind of direction

Song of Solomon 31-4On my bed night after night I sought him whom my soul loves I sought him but didnot find him I must arise now and goI must seek him whom my soul loves Thewatchmen who make the rounds in the city found me Scarcely had I left them whenI found him whom my soul loves

[Perhaps] the angel was a watchman The verse doesnt say there were wordsexchangedie the watchman silent The pantomime would be help offered butwithout the distraction of words The quest was unbroken

Hebrews 24God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miraclesand by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will

We have to be open to use all of our senses in hearing Gods voice Never forgettingthat Jesus spoke in parables showed people His love thru signs and wonders If weignore signs or the use of all of our senses we will miss what God is trying to showus Just think if the 3 wise men had ignored the star what they would have missed

I think the angel was pantomiming possibly as a way to get your attention Typically ifyou ask someone something they will tell you verbally as well as gesture and aspantomiming is different it would capture my attention at any rate Also it may referto the many ways that God speaks to us that are not perfectly clear at first glancejust as when you looked to where the angel was telling you his gestures made moresense to you He was also quick to reassure you of the appropriate direction to gowhen you looked back to question him

I believe it has to do with the manner of communication we are using For now onlySandys fingers are talking

I think that the angel was not using words because God is expanding ourunderstanding of how He speaks--by pantomime you were forced to pay attentionwith your eyes to what the Lord is sayingdirecting you

(Jesus did those things that He saw the Father doing Hes teaching us to see aswell as hear

He wanted you to fellow His direction as He point them out to you Because the stepsof a righteous man are order by God

Pantomime-a mute gesture getting your attention motioning giving direction withoutwords

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

TIMING

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

HE SPEAKS IN CIRCLING THROUGH TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoOh Lord You have examined my heart and know everything about me You know when Isit or stand When far away you know my every thought You chart the path ahead of me

and tell me where to stop and rest Every moment you know where I am You know what Iam going to say before I even say it You both precede6 and follow6 me and place your

hand of blessing on my headrdquo (Psalm 1391-5 TLB) Educators have studied and analyzed how people learn There are various learningtheories and one is the spiral method It is similar to a spiraling funnel of information circlingoutward Many textbooks are built upon this theory In the early childhood years issuesare introduced As each year passes more and more information is built around thoseoriginal ideas

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

I had been working on software for the QW School and really missing my time with the LordAnd He gave me a dream where I was in a school with lots of hallways and rooms but theschool was empty so far I was getting hungry and so I asked an angel in the hallway if therewas a place for a quick bite to eat like a kiosk The angel was at the very other end of the halland had poked his head around the corner anticipating my need and question He shook hishead yes then pantomimed and pointed down the stairs and then to the right He had a verycheerful countenance and smiled really big

I went down there and the stairs looked too steep for me and I looked back and said are youSURE there is food down there He smiled poked his head again around the corner to helpme and shook his head YES So I slide down the banister and went to the right There was adouble entrance way completely opened to a nice sit down restaurant I hesitated because Idid not know if I wanted to take the time to sit down and eat

CLASS ACTIVITYThe following 2 questions are here to help you ponder with the Holy Spirit and alsothe scriptures I came up with 5 possible answers for question one and 2 possibleanswers for question two In asking these questions I do not expect you to ldquoproducerdquothe answers that I have prepared to share with you The purpose is not for you tosearch my mind but instead to search the Holy Spiritrsquos heart as to what the Lordwould say to you about these things When you respond always try to connect whatyou say with scripture How did I know it was an angelMany have seen angels in their dreams without realizing it That is becauseministering angels look like humans The main difference is that their countenance isloving peaceful and kind The angel was smiling and eager to help The role ofangels is to be there to help us get to our destination in the Lord They are here onearth to minister to us and usually appear very friendly and helpful Heb 132 NLTDont forget to show hospitality to strangers for some who have done this haveentertained angels without realizing it Heb 114 AMPAre not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God forthe assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation

QUESTION ONE Why was the angel pantomiming1 The word ldquosignrdquo language is quickened to me Pantomiming is a series of gesturesor sign language I feel this action points to the idea that we are now living in a timewhen God will be speaking through signs and wonders

Acts 143 NKJVTherefore they stayed there a long time speaking boldly in the Lord who wasbearing witness to the word of His grace granting signs and wonders to bedone by their hands

2 Because sometimes the details of our spiritual experiences can also represent ourlevel of intimacy with the Lord This angel was far away not up front close personalNot eye to eye He was not speaking face to face However I was not abandoned hewas there The distance of the angel represented how I was feeling in my relationship with theLord I was swamped in work and although I was constantly praying for help in thesoftware and receiving it and I was also continuing to hear and see at night I wasnot receiving anything out of it because I was not spending any sit down time withHim during the day I was just pressing through straight uphill until I got thebreakthrough 3 Because of the level of receptivity or level of faith

Matt 1358 NKJV

Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief

There has been a lot of internet persecution of the prophetic when they talk about theministry of angels Angels are allowed to minister to the degree we allow them intoour lives We need to be grateful for every kind of help and helper God sends ourwayNeither do we worship angels we worship the Lord and cling to the Lord for His helpPaul also warned us of keeping the gospel of Jesus Christ unchanged

Col 217-19Let no one cheat you of your reward taking delight in false humility and worshipof angels intruding into those things which he has not seen vainly puffed upby his fleshly mind and not holding fast to the Head from whom all the bodynourished and knit together by joints and ligaments grows with the increasethat is from God Gal 16-9 NLTI am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God who in his love andmercy called you to share the eternal life he gives through Christ You arealready following a different way 7 that pretends to be the Good News but is notthe Good News at all You are being fooled by those who twist and change thetruth concerning Christ 8 Let Gods curse fall on anyone including myself whopreaches any other message than the one we told you about Even if an angelcomes from heaven and preaches any other message let him be forevercursed 9 I will say it again If anyone preaches any other gospel than the oneyou welcomed let Gods curse fall upon that person

Many years ago I went through a season where I was first hearing angels and Iworried about it and started to ignore and turn this gift off I became very sifted in thewhole thing Finally I had a dream where I was driving around a corner and slid overto the side of the road backwards A team of angels came to help get my car back onthe road again They came to my window and started pantomiming that they werethere to help me They were so kind and friendly to me in their faces and gesturesBut they did not say a thing In the dream I knew exactly why they were not speakingbecause I had turned them away And yet there was not one look of disapproval orjudgment only Godrsquos love and pleasure to serve and help me get going again Along the same lines there are some that do not believe there are female lookingangels Above all we do not generate new doctrines from spiritual experienceswithout scripture backing The following is scriptural proof that there are womenlooking angels even with wings

Here are the scriptures Zech 59-11 NKJV Then I raised my eyes and looked and there were two women coming with thewind in their wings for they had wings like the wings of a stork and they liftedup the basket between earth and heaven So I said to the angel who talked withme Where are they carrying the basket And he said to me To build ahouse for it in the land of Shinar when it is ready the basket will be set thereon its base

Matt 2230 AMP For in the resurrected state neither do [men] marry nor are [women] given inmarriage but they are like the angels in heaven

4 Because sometimes angels are used as signs to point the way

Isa 3020-21 NKJVYet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore But your eyes shallsee your teachers Your ears shall hear a word behind you saying This is theway walk in it Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn tothe left What did the environment of the angel communicate TEACHERSOT3384OT3384 yarah (yaw-raw) or (2 Chron 2615) yara (yaw-raw) a primitive rootproperly to flow as water (ie to rain) transitively to lay or throw (especially anarrow ie to shoot) figuratively to point out (as if by aiming the finger) toteachKJV - (+)archer cast direct inform instruct lay shew shoot teach (-ering-)through

Before I spoke he was anticipating my need by popping his head around the cornerwhen I turned back to ask to be reassured I think the detail that he was at a cornerwhere the 2 school hallways met was relevant to the above scripture that in theselast days God will manifest angelic and human helpers more and more especiallywhen we are at a crossroads and need help in making the turn in the right direction 5 God was not mad at me Angels are from the spirit world and do not usuallycommunicate with sound in the voice it is usually via the Spirit like to the mind in thesame way conversations take place in dreams However the following possibility alsocame to me In the natural or in the ldquofleshrdquo it would have required a normal person toraise their voice in order to communicate that distance The Lord brought thisscripture into remembrance

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

To me it was a reminder that God doesnrsquot yell at me and He was not mad at me Ihad spent 6-8 weeks away from catching up on typing my rhema and really spendingpriority time with Him I was climbing straight up hill in the learning curve crying outto Him day and night for His help and was amazed to notice His supernatural helpthe whole way through It was a wonderful comfort to my soul and faith However I was feeling very guilty that I was not spending my normal time with Him inthe mornings I knew I had a window of time to get it done before my rhema ran outthat was Pending on line and so I knew I had to cover a lot of territory in shortamount of time Towards the end the condemnation I was trying to overcome with

staying away was increasing and my soul was also very weary I missed our timetogether terribly and started really whining to hear Him I became so sifted with thewhole process I actually wondered if I was going to lose my watchmanrsquos position Bythat time I knew I had to STOP This dream was such an amazing loving balm to my soul That angelrsquos smile ofencouragement was so loving there was simply not one ounce of condemnation orcorrection at all It was a good parable that the distance between us was definitely aldquosignrdquo to my relationship with the Lord at the time But even though I could not seethe Lord He was readily there the moment I called REVELATION I think the following scripture is a wonderful key because we havenow entered a time on the earth when He will be bringing forth His justice upon theearth It will be a fearful and awe-filled time to be alive upon the earth where we willeach learn the fear of the Lord and His Word And yet His mercy to protect a flowerfrom getting crushed is tender and humble as He bends down low to lift us up

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

QUESTION TWO Why was the restaurant downstairs instead of theschool level Going to lower places to me represents humbling oneself To ask seek searchknock beg etc all represent admitting a need and humbling oneself to request helpTo humble oneself is the opposite of an independent spirit who can do it without help

Rev 317-20 NKJVBecause you say I am rich have become wealthy and have need of nothing mdash and do not know that you are wretched miserable poor blind and naked mdash18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire that you may be richand white garments that you may be clothed that the shame of yournakedness may not be revealed and anoint your eyes with eye salve that youmay see 19 As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealousand repent 20 Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voiceand opens the door I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me

Lower or basement levels can represent foundations and also servant hood

1 Cor 311 NKJVFor no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is JesusChrist Matt 2311-12 NKJVBut he who is greatest among you shall be your servant And whoever exalts

himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted Luke 147-11 NKJVSo He told a parable to those who were invited when He noted how they chosethe best places saying to them 8 When you are invited by anyone to awedding feast do not sit down in the best place lest one more honorable thanyou be invited by him 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to youGive place to this man and then you begin with shame to take the lowestplace 10 But when you are invited go and sit down in the lowest place so thatwhen he who invited you comes he may say to you Friend go up higher Thenyou will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you 11 Forwhoever exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will beexalted

The phrase ldquoa basementrdquo is a word pun for abasement

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY WAS THE ANGEL PANTOMIMING

The angel was sent as a guide and to instruct he gave signs and she was tointerpret what those signs meant

God does not always speak He sometimes gives signs and we are to interpret thosesigns to find the heart and mind of God and to know what He is speaking to us at thattime

My first reaction was the silence without words which means a conversation isprivate and between the one who is pantomiming and the one who is receiving thegestures from and angel

Our military uses hand gestures to get a secret message to each other when incombat in order to keep the enemy from hearing the voices So to me the angelpantomiming would mean secret directions

I think the angel was pantomiming to encourage her to grow and develop and useher senses instead of having everything ready made

To show that God was not angry that we are so busy amp He has a sense of humor

Also pantomiming lures us into the mystery to understand what he is saying just asGod woos us with a parable or mystery to intrigue us

There is a journey involved in searching Him out We must come outside the camp

The steepness of the stairs amp your comment on I dont know if I can do that refers tothe place we must meet him out of our comfort zone not in our own strength but aplace of total humility

Pantomiming gesture Rogets Thes Dictionary (sign pointed signal signaled) Angel messenger

Why The angel in the dream was pantomiming which confirmedtied together theDivine Signs signals in 102108 message from the Lord The angel was makinggestures to indicate that this was what the Lord was doing in trying get your attentionThe steps to the right place to eat

Sometimes the Lord speaks to not in just a spoken word that we must still besensitive to be able to hear Thus the angel was pantomiming the directions Wouldwe understand through this kind of direction

Song of Solomon 31-4On my bed night after night I sought him whom my soul loves I sought him but didnot find him I must arise now and goI must seek him whom my soul loves Thewatchmen who make the rounds in the city found me Scarcely had I left them whenI found him whom my soul loves

[Perhaps] the angel was a watchman The verse doesnt say there were wordsexchangedie the watchman silent The pantomime would be help offered butwithout the distraction of words The quest was unbroken

Hebrews 24God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miraclesand by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will

We have to be open to use all of our senses in hearing Gods voice Never forgettingthat Jesus spoke in parables showed people His love thru signs and wonders If weignore signs or the use of all of our senses we will miss what God is trying to showus Just think if the 3 wise men had ignored the star what they would have missed

I think the angel was pantomiming possibly as a way to get your attention Typically ifyou ask someone something they will tell you verbally as well as gesture and aspantomiming is different it would capture my attention at any rate Also it may referto the many ways that God speaks to us that are not perfectly clear at first glancejust as when you looked to where the angel was telling you his gestures made moresense to you He was also quick to reassure you of the appropriate direction to gowhen you looked back to question him

I believe it has to do with the manner of communication we are using For now onlySandys fingers are talking

I think that the angel was not using words because God is expanding ourunderstanding of how He speaks--by pantomime you were forced to pay attentionwith your eyes to what the Lord is sayingdirecting you

(Jesus did those things that He saw the Father doing Hes teaching us to see aswell as hear

He wanted you to fellow His direction as He point them out to you Because the stepsof a righteous man are order by God

Pantomime-a mute gesture getting your attention motioning giving direction withoutwords

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

TIMING

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

HE SPEAKS IN CIRCLING THROUGH TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoOh Lord You have examined my heart and know everything about me You know when Isit or stand When far away you know my every thought You chart the path ahead of me

and tell me where to stop and rest Every moment you know where I am You know what Iam going to say before I even say it You both precede6 and follow6 me and place your

hand of blessing on my headrdquo (Psalm 1391-5 TLB) Educators have studied and analyzed how people learn There are various learningtheories and one is the spiral method It is similar to a spiraling funnel of information circlingoutward Many textbooks are built upon this theory In the early childhood years issuesare introduced As each year passes more and more information is built around thoseoriginal ideas

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

HE SPEAKS THROUGH THE SYNCHRONIZING OF GODrsquoS PEOPLE

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

======= RETURNING HOME TO MY WORD 61707 VISION I was flying overhead in a circle and came back to a starting point HEARD Dove HEARD Prophetic Aligned and walking In synch House of bread Thatrsquos where youbelong Quickened APPLICATION After homing doves are sent forth they return home and circle backfrom where they were sent Home is alignment with Gods Word Those who walk inGodrsquos house of Bread are walking in synch according to His divine purposes within Hiscorporate body world wide

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

During all of this I was in a pain flare and could not push the handle forward on my easy chair toget out So my husband found an old cardboard tube he had saved out of the garbage of somethingI had thrown away a long time ago This tube had held a huge piece of felt where one can build jigsaw puzzles on top of it The feltcame in this very strong super duper cardboard tube Wayne brought it in from who knows whereand put it over the easy chair handle I had instant leverage to wrap my arm around it to movemy chair handle down to get out It was awesome So for a week or so I had been using thisamazing gizmo that kept reminding me of old brake handles on trains Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Yes I did catch the Lordrsquos Word in regards to this SLOW DOWNPUT ON THE BRAKES I want to spend some time with you QUICKENED EYE GLANCE AMAZING CONFIRMATION After I finished building the home for thenew QW School I was trying out some of the new software to learn what it could do I wasworking on some foundation lessons of ldquoWhy Does God Speak through Puzzlesrdquo and ldquoHow Does GodSpeak Through Puzzlesrdquo One day I had a quickened eye glance and read the label on thecardboard tube ldquoPUZZLE MASTERrdquo This blew me away I had not even connected the idea that Iwas working on the first two foundation lessons about puzzles and here was Godrsquos divine sign justWAITING for me to see He is SO patient with us waiting in the background waiting to give us allHis wonderful Words if we would just stop and listen ANOTHER CONFIRMATION I opened my book 101 Ways God Speaks to find the graphic of apuzzle and came to this page Here is an excerpt

STOP TAKE TIME PONDER LISTENWithout using our will and deciding to make these four choices we become like alocomotive with no brakes We build up steam stay in one gear and propel forwardwithout taking time to view the scenery Each rail zooms by as we become lost in ourgoal of reading and forget to look where we are going Instead we should try riding achildrenrsquos train that has no particular destination in mind other than to look and be apart of the fun What is the fun The fun is HEARING HIM The love the zeal the joy in life isRELATIONSHIP with HIM Finding the fun is removing the locomotive race in our mindsand reading with the intent of listening to what He has to say Yet without the decisionto stop and the desire to hear Him reading the Bible becomes just another pursuit ofknowledge The key to doing anything in life is to do it WITH HIMrdquoend excerpt quote

CLASS ACTIVITYThe following 2 questions are here to help you ponder with the Holy Spirit and alsothe scriptures I came up with 5 possible answers for question one and 2 possibleanswers for question two In asking these questions I do not expect you to ldquoproducerdquothe answers that I have prepared to share with you The purpose is not for you tosearch my mind but instead to search the Holy Spiritrsquos heart as to what the Lordwould say to you about these things When you respond always try to connect whatyou say with scripture How did I know it was an angelMany have seen angels in their dreams without realizing it That is becauseministering angels look like humans The main difference is that their countenance isloving peaceful and kind The angel was smiling and eager to help The role ofangels is to be there to help us get to our destination in the Lord They are here onearth to minister to us and usually appear very friendly and helpful Heb 132 NLTDont forget to show hospitality to strangers for some who have done this haveentertained angels without realizing it Heb 114 AMPAre not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God forthe assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation

QUESTION ONE Why was the angel pantomiming1 The word ldquosignrdquo language is quickened to me Pantomiming is a series of gesturesor sign language I feel this action points to the idea that we are now living in a timewhen God will be speaking through signs and wonders

Acts 143 NKJVTherefore they stayed there a long time speaking boldly in the Lord who wasbearing witness to the word of His grace granting signs and wonders to bedone by their hands

2 Because sometimes the details of our spiritual experiences can also represent ourlevel of intimacy with the Lord This angel was far away not up front close personalNot eye to eye He was not speaking face to face However I was not abandoned hewas there The distance of the angel represented how I was feeling in my relationship with theLord I was swamped in work and although I was constantly praying for help in thesoftware and receiving it and I was also continuing to hear and see at night I wasnot receiving anything out of it because I was not spending any sit down time withHim during the day I was just pressing through straight uphill until I got thebreakthrough 3 Because of the level of receptivity or level of faith

Matt 1358 NKJV

Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief

There has been a lot of internet persecution of the prophetic when they talk about theministry of angels Angels are allowed to minister to the degree we allow them intoour lives We need to be grateful for every kind of help and helper God sends ourwayNeither do we worship angels we worship the Lord and cling to the Lord for His helpPaul also warned us of keeping the gospel of Jesus Christ unchanged

Col 217-19Let no one cheat you of your reward taking delight in false humility and worshipof angels intruding into those things which he has not seen vainly puffed upby his fleshly mind and not holding fast to the Head from whom all the bodynourished and knit together by joints and ligaments grows with the increasethat is from God Gal 16-9 NLTI am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God who in his love andmercy called you to share the eternal life he gives through Christ You arealready following a different way 7 that pretends to be the Good News but is notthe Good News at all You are being fooled by those who twist and change thetruth concerning Christ 8 Let Gods curse fall on anyone including myself whopreaches any other message than the one we told you about Even if an angelcomes from heaven and preaches any other message let him be forevercursed 9 I will say it again If anyone preaches any other gospel than the oneyou welcomed let Gods curse fall upon that person

Many years ago I went through a season where I was first hearing angels and Iworried about it and started to ignore and turn this gift off I became very sifted in thewhole thing Finally I had a dream where I was driving around a corner and slid overto the side of the road backwards A team of angels came to help get my car back onthe road again They came to my window and started pantomiming that they werethere to help me They were so kind and friendly to me in their faces and gesturesBut they did not say a thing In the dream I knew exactly why they were not speakingbecause I had turned them away And yet there was not one look of disapproval orjudgment only Godrsquos love and pleasure to serve and help me get going again Along the same lines there are some that do not believe there are female lookingangels Above all we do not generate new doctrines from spiritual experienceswithout scripture backing The following is scriptural proof that there are womenlooking angels even with wings

Here are the scriptures Zech 59-11 NKJV Then I raised my eyes and looked and there were two women coming with thewind in their wings for they had wings like the wings of a stork and they liftedup the basket between earth and heaven So I said to the angel who talked withme Where are they carrying the basket And he said to me To build ahouse for it in the land of Shinar when it is ready the basket will be set thereon its base

Matt 2230 AMP For in the resurrected state neither do [men] marry nor are [women] given inmarriage but they are like the angels in heaven

4 Because sometimes angels are used as signs to point the way

Isa 3020-21 NKJVYet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore But your eyes shallsee your teachers Your ears shall hear a word behind you saying This is theway walk in it Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn tothe left What did the environment of the angel communicate TEACHERSOT3384OT3384 yarah (yaw-raw) or (2 Chron 2615) yara (yaw-raw) a primitive rootproperly to flow as water (ie to rain) transitively to lay or throw (especially anarrow ie to shoot) figuratively to point out (as if by aiming the finger) toteachKJV - (+)archer cast direct inform instruct lay shew shoot teach (-ering-)through

Before I spoke he was anticipating my need by popping his head around the cornerwhen I turned back to ask to be reassured I think the detail that he was at a cornerwhere the 2 school hallways met was relevant to the above scripture that in theselast days God will manifest angelic and human helpers more and more especiallywhen we are at a crossroads and need help in making the turn in the right direction 5 God was not mad at me Angels are from the spirit world and do not usuallycommunicate with sound in the voice it is usually via the Spirit like to the mind in thesame way conversations take place in dreams However the following possibility alsocame to me In the natural or in the ldquofleshrdquo it would have required a normal person toraise their voice in order to communicate that distance The Lord brought thisscripture into remembrance

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

To me it was a reminder that God doesnrsquot yell at me and He was not mad at me Ihad spent 6-8 weeks away from catching up on typing my rhema and really spendingpriority time with Him I was climbing straight up hill in the learning curve crying outto Him day and night for His help and was amazed to notice His supernatural helpthe whole way through It was a wonderful comfort to my soul and faith However I was feeling very guilty that I was not spending my normal time with Him inthe mornings I knew I had a window of time to get it done before my rhema ran outthat was Pending on line and so I knew I had to cover a lot of territory in shortamount of time Towards the end the condemnation I was trying to overcome with

staying away was increasing and my soul was also very weary I missed our timetogether terribly and started really whining to hear Him I became so sifted with thewhole process I actually wondered if I was going to lose my watchmanrsquos position Bythat time I knew I had to STOP This dream was such an amazing loving balm to my soul That angelrsquos smile ofencouragement was so loving there was simply not one ounce of condemnation orcorrection at all It was a good parable that the distance between us was definitely aldquosignrdquo to my relationship with the Lord at the time But even though I could not seethe Lord He was readily there the moment I called REVELATION I think the following scripture is a wonderful key because we havenow entered a time on the earth when He will be bringing forth His justice upon theearth It will be a fearful and awe-filled time to be alive upon the earth where we willeach learn the fear of the Lord and His Word And yet His mercy to protect a flowerfrom getting crushed is tender and humble as He bends down low to lift us up

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

QUESTION TWO Why was the restaurant downstairs instead of theschool level Going to lower places to me represents humbling oneself To ask seek searchknock beg etc all represent admitting a need and humbling oneself to request helpTo humble oneself is the opposite of an independent spirit who can do it without help

Rev 317-20 NKJVBecause you say I am rich have become wealthy and have need of nothing mdash and do not know that you are wretched miserable poor blind and naked mdash18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire that you may be richand white garments that you may be clothed that the shame of yournakedness may not be revealed and anoint your eyes with eye salve that youmay see 19 As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealousand repent 20 Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voiceand opens the door I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me

Lower or basement levels can represent foundations and also servant hood

1 Cor 311 NKJVFor no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is JesusChrist Matt 2311-12 NKJVBut he who is greatest among you shall be your servant And whoever exalts

himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted Luke 147-11 NKJVSo He told a parable to those who were invited when He noted how they chosethe best places saying to them 8 When you are invited by anyone to awedding feast do not sit down in the best place lest one more honorable thanyou be invited by him 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to youGive place to this man and then you begin with shame to take the lowestplace 10 But when you are invited go and sit down in the lowest place so thatwhen he who invited you comes he may say to you Friend go up higher Thenyou will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you 11 Forwhoever exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will beexalted

The phrase ldquoa basementrdquo is a word pun for abasement

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY WAS THE ANGEL PANTOMIMING

The angel was sent as a guide and to instruct he gave signs and she was tointerpret what those signs meant

God does not always speak He sometimes gives signs and we are to interpret thosesigns to find the heart and mind of God and to know what He is speaking to us at thattime

My first reaction was the silence without words which means a conversation isprivate and between the one who is pantomiming and the one who is receiving thegestures from and angel

Our military uses hand gestures to get a secret message to each other when incombat in order to keep the enemy from hearing the voices So to me the angelpantomiming would mean secret directions

I think the angel was pantomiming to encourage her to grow and develop and useher senses instead of having everything ready made

To show that God was not angry that we are so busy amp He has a sense of humor

Also pantomiming lures us into the mystery to understand what he is saying just asGod woos us with a parable or mystery to intrigue us

There is a journey involved in searching Him out We must come outside the camp

The steepness of the stairs amp your comment on I dont know if I can do that refers tothe place we must meet him out of our comfort zone not in our own strength but aplace of total humility

Pantomiming gesture Rogets Thes Dictionary (sign pointed signal signaled) Angel messenger

Why The angel in the dream was pantomiming which confirmedtied together theDivine Signs signals in 102108 message from the Lord The angel was makinggestures to indicate that this was what the Lord was doing in trying get your attentionThe steps to the right place to eat

Sometimes the Lord speaks to not in just a spoken word that we must still besensitive to be able to hear Thus the angel was pantomiming the directions Wouldwe understand through this kind of direction

Song of Solomon 31-4On my bed night after night I sought him whom my soul loves I sought him but didnot find him I must arise now and goI must seek him whom my soul loves Thewatchmen who make the rounds in the city found me Scarcely had I left them whenI found him whom my soul loves

[Perhaps] the angel was a watchman The verse doesnt say there were wordsexchangedie the watchman silent The pantomime would be help offered butwithout the distraction of words The quest was unbroken

Hebrews 24God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miraclesand by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will

We have to be open to use all of our senses in hearing Gods voice Never forgettingthat Jesus spoke in parables showed people His love thru signs and wonders If weignore signs or the use of all of our senses we will miss what God is trying to showus Just think if the 3 wise men had ignored the star what they would have missed

I think the angel was pantomiming possibly as a way to get your attention Typically ifyou ask someone something they will tell you verbally as well as gesture and aspantomiming is different it would capture my attention at any rate Also it may referto the many ways that God speaks to us that are not perfectly clear at first glancejust as when you looked to where the angel was telling you his gestures made moresense to you He was also quick to reassure you of the appropriate direction to gowhen you looked back to question him

I believe it has to do with the manner of communication we are using For now onlySandys fingers are talking

I think that the angel was not using words because God is expanding ourunderstanding of how He speaks--by pantomime you were forced to pay attentionwith your eyes to what the Lord is sayingdirecting you

(Jesus did those things that He saw the Father doing Hes teaching us to see aswell as hear

He wanted you to fellow His direction as He point them out to you Because the stepsof a righteous man are order by God

Pantomime-a mute gesture getting your attention motioning giving direction withoutwords

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

HE SPEAKS THROUGH THE SYNCHRONIZING OF GODrsquoS PEOPLE

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

TIMING

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

CLASS ACTIVITYThe following 2 questions are here to help you ponder with the Holy Spirit and alsothe scriptures I came up with 5 possible answers for question one and 2 possibleanswers for question two In asking these questions I do not expect you to ldquoproducerdquothe answers that I have prepared to share with you The purpose is not for you tosearch my mind but instead to search the Holy Spiritrsquos heart as to what the Lordwould say to you about these things When you respond always try to connect whatyou say with scripture How did I know it was an angelMany have seen angels in their dreams without realizing it That is becauseministering angels look like humans The main difference is that their countenance isloving peaceful and kind The angel was smiling and eager to help The role ofangels is to be there to help us get to our destination in the Lord They are here onearth to minister to us and usually appear very friendly and helpful Heb 132 NLTDont forget to show hospitality to strangers for some who have done this haveentertained angels without realizing it Heb 114 AMPAre not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God forthe assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation

QUESTION ONE Why was the angel pantomiming1 The word ldquosignrdquo language is quickened to me Pantomiming is a series of gesturesor sign language I feel this action points to the idea that we are now living in a timewhen God will be speaking through signs and wonders

Acts 143 NKJVTherefore they stayed there a long time speaking boldly in the Lord who wasbearing witness to the word of His grace granting signs and wonders to bedone by their hands

2 Because sometimes the details of our spiritual experiences can also represent ourlevel of intimacy with the Lord This angel was far away not up front close personalNot eye to eye He was not speaking face to face However I was not abandoned hewas there The distance of the angel represented how I was feeling in my relationship with theLord I was swamped in work and although I was constantly praying for help in thesoftware and receiving it and I was also continuing to hear and see at night I wasnot receiving anything out of it because I was not spending any sit down time withHim during the day I was just pressing through straight uphill until I got thebreakthrough 3 Because of the level of receptivity or level of faith

Matt 1358 NKJV

Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief

There has been a lot of internet persecution of the prophetic when they talk about theministry of angels Angels are allowed to minister to the degree we allow them intoour lives We need to be grateful for every kind of help and helper God sends ourwayNeither do we worship angels we worship the Lord and cling to the Lord for His helpPaul also warned us of keeping the gospel of Jesus Christ unchanged

Col 217-19Let no one cheat you of your reward taking delight in false humility and worshipof angels intruding into those things which he has not seen vainly puffed upby his fleshly mind and not holding fast to the Head from whom all the bodynourished and knit together by joints and ligaments grows with the increasethat is from God Gal 16-9 NLTI am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God who in his love andmercy called you to share the eternal life he gives through Christ You arealready following a different way 7 that pretends to be the Good News but is notthe Good News at all You are being fooled by those who twist and change thetruth concerning Christ 8 Let Gods curse fall on anyone including myself whopreaches any other message than the one we told you about Even if an angelcomes from heaven and preaches any other message let him be forevercursed 9 I will say it again If anyone preaches any other gospel than the oneyou welcomed let Gods curse fall upon that person

Many years ago I went through a season where I was first hearing angels and Iworried about it and started to ignore and turn this gift off I became very sifted in thewhole thing Finally I had a dream where I was driving around a corner and slid overto the side of the road backwards A team of angels came to help get my car back onthe road again They came to my window and started pantomiming that they werethere to help me They were so kind and friendly to me in their faces and gesturesBut they did not say a thing In the dream I knew exactly why they were not speakingbecause I had turned them away And yet there was not one look of disapproval orjudgment only Godrsquos love and pleasure to serve and help me get going again Along the same lines there are some that do not believe there are female lookingangels Above all we do not generate new doctrines from spiritual experienceswithout scripture backing The following is scriptural proof that there are womenlooking angels even with wings

Here are the scriptures Zech 59-11 NKJV Then I raised my eyes and looked and there were two women coming with thewind in their wings for they had wings like the wings of a stork and they liftedup the basket between earth and heaven So I said to the angel who talked withme Where are they carrying the basket And he said to me To build ahouse for it in the land of Shinar when it is ready the basket will be set thereon its base

Matt 2230 AMP For in the resurrected state neither do [men] marry nor are [women] given inmarriage but they are like the angels in heaven

4 Because sometimes angels are used as signs to point the way

Isa 3020-21 NKJVYet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore But your eyes shallsee your teachers Your ears shall hear a word behind you saying This is theway walk in it Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn tothe left What did the environment of the angel communicate TEACHERSOT3384OT3384 yarah (yaw-raw) or (2 Chron 2615) yara (yaw-raw) a primitive rootproperly to flow as water (ie to rain) transitively to lay or throw (especially anarrow ie to shoot) figuratively to point out (as if by aiming the finger) toteachKJV - (+)archer cast direct inform instruct lay shew shoot teach (-ering-)through

Before I spoke he was anticipating my need by popping his head around the cornerwhen I turned back to ask to be reassured I think the detail that he was at a cornerwhere the 2 school hallways met was relevant to the above scripture that in theselast days God will manifest angelic and human helpers more and more especiallywhen we are at a crossroads and need help in making the turn in the right direction 5 God was not mad at me Angels are from the spirit world and do not usuallycommunicate with sound in the voice it is usually via the Spirit like to the mind in thesame way conversations take place in dreams However the following possibility alsocame to me In the natural or in the ldquofleshrdquo it would have required a normal person toraise their voice in order to communicate that distance The Lord brought thisscripture into remembrance

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

To me it was a reminder that God doesnrsquot yell at me and He was not mad at me Ihad spent 6-8 weeks away from catching up on typing my rhema and really spendingpriority time with Him I was climbing straight up hill in the learning curve crying outto Him day and night for His help and was amazed to notice His supernatural helpthe whole way through It was a wonderful comfort to my soul and faith However I was feeling very guilty that I was not spending my normal time with Him inthe mornings I knew I had a window of time to get it done before my rhema ran outthat was Pending on line and so I knew I had to cover a lot of territory in shortamount of time Towards the end the condemnation I was trying to overcome with

staying away was increasing and my soul was also very weary I missed our timetogether terribly and started really whining to hear Him I became so sifted with thewhole process I actually wondered if I was going to lose my watchmanrsquos position Bythat time I knew I had to STOP This dream was such an amazing loving balm to my soul That angelrsquos smile ofencouragement was so loving there was simply not one ounce of condemnation orcorrection at all It was a good parable that the distance between us was definitely aldquosignrdquo to my relationship with the Lord at the time But even though I could not seethe Lord He was readily there the moment I called REVELATION I think the following scripture is a wonderful key because we havenow entered a time on the earth when He will be bringing forth His justice upon theearth It will be a fearful and awe-filled time to be alive upon the earth where we willeach learn the fear of the Lord and His Word And yet His mercy to protect a flowerfrom getting crushed is tender and humble as He bends down low to lift us up

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

QUESTION TWO Why was the restaurant downstairs instead of theschool level Going to lower places to me represents humbling oneself To ask seek searchknock beg etc all represent admitting a need and humbling oneself to request helpTo humble oneself is the opposite of an independent spirit who can do it without help

Rev 317-20 NKJVBecause you say I am rich have become wealthy and have need of nothing mdash and do not know that you are wretched miserable poor blind and naked mdash18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire that you may be richand white garments that you may be clothed that the shame of yournakedness may not be revealed and anoint your eyes with eye salve that youmay see 19 As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealousand repent 20 Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voiceand opens the door I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me

Lower or basement levels can represent foundations and also servant hood

1 Cor 311 NKJVFor no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is JesusChrist Matt 2311-12 NKJVBut he who is greatest among you shall be your servant And whoever exalts

himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted Luke 147-11 NKJVSo He told a parable to those who were invited when He noted how they chosethe best places saying to them 8 When you are invited by anyone to awedding feast do not sit down in the best place lest one more honorable thanyou be invited by him 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to youGive place to this man and then you begin with shame to take the lowestplace 10 But when you are invited go and sit down in the lowest place so thatwhen he who invited you comes he may say to you Friend go up higher Thenyou will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you 11 Forwhoever exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will beexalted

The phrase ldquoa basementrdquo is a word pun for abasement

WHY WAS THE ANGEL PANTOMIMING

The angel was sent as a guide and to instruct he gave signs and she was tointerpret what those signs meant

God does not always speak He sometimes gives signs and we are to interpret thosesigns to find the heart and mind of God and to know what He is speaking to us at thattime

My first reaction was the silence without words which means a conversation isprivate and between the one who is pantomiming and the one who is receiving thegestures from and angel

Our military uses hand gestures to get a secret message to each other when incombat in order to keep the enemy from hearing the voices So to me the angelpantomiming would mean secret directions

I think the angel was pantomiming to encourage her to grow and develop and useher senses instead of having everything ready made

To show that God was not angry that we are so busy amp He has a sense of humor

Also pantomiming lures us into the mystery to understand what he is saying just asGod woos us with a parable or mystery to intrigue us

There is a journey involved in searching Him out We must come outside the camp

The steepness of the stairs amp your comment on I dont know if I can do that refers tothe place we must meet him out of our comfort zone not in our own strength but aplace of total humility

Pantomiming gesture Rogets Thes Dictionary (sign pointed signal signaled) Angel messenger

Why The angel in the dream was pantomiming which confirmedtied together theDivine Signs signals in 102108 message from the Lord The angel was makinggestures to indicate that this was what the Lord was doing in trying get your attentionThe steps to the right place to eat

Sometimes the Lord speaks to not in just a spoken word that we must still besensitive to be able to hear Thus the angel was pantomiming the directions Wouldwe understand through this kind of direction

Song of Solomon 31-4On my bed night after night I sought him whom my soul loves I sought him but didnot find him I must arise now and goI must seek him whom my soul loves Thewatchmen who make the rounds in the city found me Scarcely had I left them whenI found him whom my soul loves

[Perhaps] the angel was a watchman The verse doesnt say there were wordsexchangedie the watchman silent The pantomime would be help offered butwithout the distraction of words The quest was unbroken

Hebrews 24God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miraclesand by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will

We have to be open to use all of our senses in hearing Gods voice Never forgettingthat Jesus spoke in parables showed people His love thru signs and wonders If weignore signs or the use of all of our senses we will miss what God is trying to showus Just think if the 3 wise men had ignored the star what they would have missed

I think the angel was pantomiming possibly as a way to get your attention Typically ifyou ask someone something they will tell you verbally as well as gesture and aspantomiming is different it would capture my attention at any rate Also it may referto the many ways that God speaks to us that are not perfectly clear at first glancejust as when you looked to where the angel was telling you his gestures made moresense to you He was also quick to reassure you of the appropriate direction to gowhen you looked back to question him

I believe it has to do with the manner of communication we are using For now onlySandys fingers are talking

I think that the angel was not using words because God is expanding ourunderstanding of how He speaks--by pantomime you were forced to pay attentionwith your eyes to what the Lord is sayingdirecting you

(Jesus did those things that He saw the Father doing Hes teaching us to see aswell as hear

He wanted you to fellow His direction as He point them out to you Because the stepsof a righteous man are order by God

Pantomime-a mute gesture getting your attention motioning giving direction withoutwords

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

======= RETURNING HOME TO MY WORD 61707 VISION I was flying overhead in a circle and came back to a starting point HEARD Dove HEARD Prophetic Aligned and walking In synch House of bread Thatrsquos where youbelong Quickened APPLICATION After homing doves are sent forth they return home and circle backfrom where they were sent Home is alignment with Gods Word Those who walk inGodrsquos house of Bread are walking in synch according to His divine purposes within Hiscorporate body world wide

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

HE SPEAKS IN SEASONS IN OUR LIVES

ldquoTo every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenrdquo (Ecclesiastes 31 KJ) ldquoThe eyes of all look expectantly to You And You give themtheir food in due seasonrdquo (Psalm 14515 NKJV) ldquoa word spoken in due seasonhow good is it (Proverbs 1523 KJ) ldquoAnd let us not be weary in well doing for in

due season we shall reap if we faint notrdquo (Galatians 69 KJ) To understand Godrsquos time table is to understand His calendar Few ifany know that We need to understand that He carries out His plans inseasons We are synchronized with His timing whether we know it ornot When trying to understand what is going on it helps to plug into theknowledge of what season it is Find common denominators and patterns in how your life fits in withthose around you In my own life and in the life of those around me Ihave witnessed seasons of slumber resurrection promotion repentancecleansing praying worship sifting wavering vision promise movementwarfare standing waiting retraining habits weakness faithexpectation etc That list and many others are like months within a year They donrsquot havethe same time frame as our months but they are equivalent to durationsof time within a larger clock

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

CLASS ACTIVITYThe following 2 questions are here to help you ponder with the Holy Spirit and alsothe scriptures I came up with 5 possible answers for question one and 2 possibleanswers for question two In asking these questions I do not expect you to ldquoproducerdquothe answers that I have prepared to share with you The purpose is not for you tosearch my mind but instead to search the Holy Spiritrsquos heart as to what the Lordwould say to you about these things When you respond always try to connect whatyou say with scripture How did I know it was an angelMany have seen angels in their dreams without realizing it That is becauseministering angels look like humans The main difference is that their countenance isloving peaceful and kind The angel was smiling and eager to help The role ofangels is to be there to help us get to our destination in the Lord They are here onearth to minister to us and usually appear very friendly and helpful Heb 132 NLTDont forget to show hospitality to strangers for some who have done this haveentertained angels without realizing it Heb 114 AMPAre not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God forthe assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation

QUESTION ONE Why was the angel pantomiming1 The word ldquosignrdquo language is quickened to me Pantomiming is a series of gesturesor sign language I feel this action points to the idea that we are now living in a timewhen God will be speaking through signs and wonders

Acts 143 NKJVTherefore they stayed there a long time speaking boldly in the Lord who wasbearing witness to the word of His grace granting signs and wonders to bedone by their hands

2 Because sometimes the details of our spiritual experiences can also represent ourlevel of intimacy with the Lord This angel was far away not up front close personalNot eye to eye He was not speaking face to face However I was not abandoned hewas there The distance of the angel represented how I was feeling in my relationship with theLord I was swamped in work and although I was constantly praying for help in thesoftware and receiving it and I was also continuing to hear and see at night I wasnot receiving anything out of it because I was not spending any sit down time withHim during the day I was just pressing through straight uphill until I got thebreakthrough 3 Because of the level of receptivity or level of faith

Matt 1358 NKJV

Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief

There has been a lot of internet persecution of the prophetic when they talk about theministry of angels Angels are allowed to minister to the degree we allow them intoour lives We need to be grateful for every kind of help and helper God sends ourwayNeither do we worship angels we worship the Lord and cling to the Lord for His helpPaul also warned us of keeping the gospel of Jesus Christ unchanged

Col 217-19Let no one cheat you of your reward taking delight in false humility and worshipof angels intruding into those things which he has not seen vainly puffed upby his fleshly mind and not holding fast to the Head from whom all the bodynourished and knit together by joints and ligaments grows with the increasethat is from God Gal 16-9 NLTI am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God who in his love andmercy called you to share the eternal life he gives through Christ You arealready following a different way 7 that pretends to be the Good News but is notthe Good News at all You are being fooled by those who twist and change thetruth concerning Christ 8 Let Gods curse fall on anyone including myself whopreaches any other message than the one we told you about Even if an angelcomes from heaven and preaches any other message let him be forevercursed 9 I will say it again If anyone preaches any other gospel than the oneyou welcomed let Gods curse fall upon that person

Many years ago I went through a season where I was first hearing angels and Iworried about it and started to ignore and turn this gift off I became very sifted in thewhole thing Finally I had a dream where I was driving around a corner and slid overto the side of the road backwards A team of angels came to help get my car back onthe road again They came to my window and started pantomiming that they werethere to help me They were so kind and friendly to me in their faces and gesturesBut they did not say a thing In the dream I knew exactly why they were not speakingbecause I had turned them away And yet there was not one look of disapproval orjudgment only Godrsquos love and pleasure to serve and help me get going again Along the same lines there are some that do not believe there are female lookingangels Above all we do not generate new doctrines from spiritual experienceswithout scripture backing The following is scriptural proof that there are womenlooking angels even with wings

Here are the scriptures Zech 59-11 NKJV Then I raised my eyes and looked and there were two women coming with thewind in their wings for they had wings like the wings of a stork and they liftedup the basket between earth and heaven So I said to the angel who talked withme Where are they carrying the basket And he said to me To build ahouse for it in the land of Shinar when it is ready the basket will be set thereon its base

Matt 2230 AMP For in the resurrected state neither do [men] marry nor are [women] given inmarriage but they are like the angels in heaven

4 Because sometimes angels are used as signs to point the way

Isa 3020-21 NKJVYet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore But your eyes shallsee your teachers Your ears shall hear a word behind you saying This is theway walk in it Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn tothe left What did the environment of the angel communicate TEACHERSOT3384OT3384 yarah (yaw-raw) or (2 Chron 2615) yara (yaw-raw) a primitive rootproperly to flow as water (ie to rain) transitively to lay or throw (especially anarrow ie to shoot) figuratively to point out (as if by aiming the finger) toteachKJV - (+)archer cast direct inform instruct lay shew shoot teach (-ering-)through

Before I spoke he was anticipating my need by popping his head around the cornerwhen I turned back to ask to be reassured I think the detail that he was at a cornerwhere the 2 school hallways met was relevant to the above scripture that in theselast days God will manifest angelic and human helpers more and more especiallywhen we are at a crossroads and need help in making the turn in the right direction 5 God was not mad at me Angels are from the spirit world and do not usuallycommunicate with sound in the voice it is usually via the Spirit like to the mind in thesame way conversations take place in dreams However the following possibility alsocame to me In the natural or in the ldquofleshrdquo it would have required a normal person toraise their voice in order to communicate that distance The Lord brought thisscripture into remembrance

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

To me it was a reminder that God doesnrsquot yell at me and He was not mad at me Ihad spent 6-8 weeks away from catching up on typing my rhema and really spendingpriority time with Him I was climbing straight up hill in the learning curve crying outto Him day and night for His help and was amazed to notice His supernatural helpthe whole way through It was a wonderful comfort to my soul and faith However I was feeling very guilty that I was not spending my normal time with Him inthe mornings I knew I had a window of time to get it done before my rhema ran outthat was Pending on line and so I knew I had to cover a lot of territory in shortamount of time Towards the end the condemnation I was trying to overcome with

staying away was increasing and my soul was also very weary I missed our timetogether terribly and started really whining to hear Him I became so sifted with thewhole process I actually wondered if I was going to lose my watchmanrsquos position Bythat time I knew I had to STOP This dream was such an amazing loving balm to my soul That angelrsquos smile ofencouragement was so loving there was simply not one ounce of condemnation orcorrection at all It was a good parable that the distance between us was definitely aldquosignrdquo to my relationship with the Lord at the time But even though I could not seethe Lord He was readily there the moment I called REVELATION I think the following scripture is a wonderful key because we havenow entered a time on the earth when He will be bringing forth His justice upon theearth It will be a fearful and awe-filled time to be alive upon the earth where we willeach learn the fear of the Lord and His Word And yet His mercy to protect a flowerfrom getting crushed is tender and humble as He bends down low to lift us up

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

QUESTION TWO Why was the restaurant downstairs instead of theschool level Going to lower places to me represents humbling oneself To ask seek searchknock beg etc all represent admitting a need and humbling oneself to request helpTo humble oneself is the opposite of an independent spirit who can do it without help

Rev 317-20 NKJVBecause you say I am rich have become wealthy and have need of nothing mdash and do not know that you are wretched miserable poor blind and naked mdash18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire that you may be richand white garments that you may be clothed that the shame of yournakedness may not be revealed and anoint your eyes with eye salve that youmay see 19 As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealousand repent 20 Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voiceand opens the door I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me

Lower or basement levels can represent foundations and also servant hood

1 Cor 311 NKJVFor no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is JesusChrist Matt 2311-12 NKJVBut he who is greatest among you shall be your servant And whoever exalts

himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted Luke 147-11 NKJVSo He told a parable to those who were invited when He noted how they chosethe best places saying to them 8 When you are invited by anyone to awedding feast do not sit down in the best place lest one more honorable thanyou be invited by him 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to youGive place to this man and then you begin with shame to take the lowestplace 10 But when you are invited go and sit down in the lowest place so thatwhen he who invited you comes he may say to you Friend go up higher Thenyou will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you 11 Forwhoever exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will beexalted

The phrase ldquoa basementrdquo is a word pun for abasement

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY WAS THE ANGEL PANTOMIMING

The angel was sent as a guide and to instruct he gave signs and she was tointerpret what those signs meant

God does not always speak He sometimes gives signs and we are to interpret thosesigns to find the heart and mind of God and to know what He is speaking to us at thattime

My first reaction was the silence without words which means a conversation isprivate and between the one who is pantomiming and the one who is receiving thegestures from and angel

Our military uses hand gestures to get a secret message to each other when incombat in order to keep the enemy from hearing the voices So to me the angelpantomiming would mean secret directions

I think the angel was pantomiming to encourage her to grow and develop and useher senses instead of having everything ready made

To show that God was not angry that we are so busy amp He has a sense of humor

Also pantomiming lures us into the mystery to understand what he is saying just asGod woos us with a parable or mystery to intrigue us

There is a journey involved in searching Him out We must come outside the camp

The steepness of the stairs amp your comment on I dont know if I can do that refers tothe place we must meet him out of our comfort zone not in our own strength but aplace of total humility

Pantomiming gesture Rogets Thes Dictionary (sign pointed signal signaled) Angel messenger

Why The angel in the dream was pantomiming which confirmedtied together theDivine Signs signals in 102108 message from the Lord The angel was makinggestures to indicate that this was what the Lord was doing in trying get your attentionThe steps to the right place to eat

Sometimes the Lord speaks to not in just a spoken word that we must still besensitive to be able to hear Thus the angel was pantomiming the directions Wouldwe understand through this kind of direction

Song of Solomon 31-4On my bed night after night I sought him whom my soul loves I sought him but didnot find him I must arise now and goI must seek him whom my soul loves Thewatchmen who make the rounds in the city found me Scarcely had I left them whenI found him whom my soul loves

[Perhaps] the angel was a watchman The verse doesnt say there were wordsexchangedie the watchman silent The pantomime would be help offered butwithout the distraction of words The quest was unbroken

Hebrews 24God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miraclesand by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will

We have to be open to use all of our senses in hearing Gods voice Never forgettingthat Jesus spoke in parables showed people His love thru signs and wonders If weignore signs or the use of all of our senses we will miss what God is trying to showus Just think if the 3 wise men had ignored the star what they would have missed

I think the angel was pantomiming possibly as a way to get your attention Typically ifyou ask someone something they will tell you verbally as well as gesture and aspantomiming is different it would capture my attention at any rate Also it may referto the many ways that God speaks to us that are not perfectly clear at first glancejust as when you looked to where the angel was telling you his gestures made moresense to you He was also quick to reassure you of the appropriate direction to gowhen you looked back to question him

I believe it has to do with the manner of communication we are using For now onlySandys fingers are talking

I think that the angel was not using words because God is expanding ourunderstanding of how He speaks--by pantomime you were forced to pay attentionwith your eyes to what the Lord is sayingdirecting you

(Jesus did those things that He saw the Father doing Hes teaching us to see aswell as hear

He wanted you to fellow His direction as He point them out to you Because the stepsof a righteous man are order by God

Pantomime-a mute gesture getting your attention motioning giving direction withoutwords

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

CLASS ACTIVITYThe following 2 questions are here to help you ponder with the Holy Spirit and alsothe scriptures I came up with 5 possible answers for question one and 2 possibleanswers for question two In asking these questions I do not expect you to ldquoproducerdquothe answers that I have prepared to share with you The purpose is not for you tosearch my mind but instead to search the Holy Spiritrsquos heart as to what the Lordwould say to you about these things When you respond always try to connect whatyou say with scripture How did I know it was an angelMany have seen angels in their dreams without realizing it That is becauseministering angels look like humans The main difference is that their countenance isloving peaceful and kind The angel was smiling and eager to help The role ofangels is to be there to help us get to our destination in the Lord They are here onearth to minister to us and usually appear very friendly and helpful Heb 132 NLTDont forget to show hospitality to strangers for some who have done this haveentertained angels without realizing it Heb 114 AMPAre not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God forthe assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation

QUESTION ONE Why was the angel pantomiming1 The word ldquosignrdquo language is quickened to me Pantomiming is a series of gesturesor sign language I feel this action points to the idea that we are now living in a timewhen God will be speaking through signs and wonders

Acts 143 NKJVTherefore they stayed there a long time speaking boldly in the Lord who wasbearing witness to the word of His grace granting signs and wonders to bedone by their hands

2 Because sometimes the details of our spiritual experiences can also represent ourlevel of intimacy with the Lord This angel was far away not up front close personalNot eye to eye He was not speaking face to face However I was not abandoned hewas there The distance of the angel represented how I was feeling in my relationship with theLord I was swamped in work and although I was constantly praying for help in thesoftware and receiving it and I was also continuing to hear and see at night I wasnot receiving anything out of it because I was not spending any sit down time withHim during the day I was just pressing through straight uphill until I got thebreakthrough 3 Because of the level of receptivity or level of faith

Matt 1358 NKJV

Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief

There has been a lot of internet persecution of the prophetic when they talk about theministry of angels Angels are allowed to minister to the degree we allow them intoour lives We need to be grateful for every kind of help and helper God sends ourwayNeither do we worship angels we worship the Lord and cling to the Lord for His helpPaul also warned us of keeping the gospel of Jesus Christ unchanged

Col 217-19Let no one cheat you of your reward taking delight in false humility and worshipof angels intruding into those things which he has not seen vainly puffed upby his fleshly mind and not holding fast to the Head from whom all the bodynourished and knit together by joints and ligaments grows with the increasethat is from God Gal 16-9 NLTI am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God who in his love andmercy called you to share the eternal life he gives through Christ You arealready following a different way 7 that pretends to be the Good News but is notthe Good News at all You are being fooled by those who twist and change thetruth concerning Christ 8 Let Gods curse fall on anyone including myself whopreaches any other message than the one we told you about Even if an angelcomes from heaven and preaches any other message let him be forevercursed 9 I will say it again If anyone preaches any other gospel than the oneyou welcomed let Gods curse fall upon that person

Many years ago I went through a season where I was first hearing angels and Iworried about it and started to ignore and turn this gift off I became very sifted in thewhole thing Finally I had a dream where I was driving around a corner and slid overto the side of the road backwards A team of angels came to help get my car back onthe road again They came to my window and started pantomiming that they werethere to help me They were so kind and friendly to me in their faces and gesturesBut they did not say a thing In the dream I knew exactly why they were not speakingbecause I had turned them away And yet there was not one look of disapproval orjudgment only Godrsquos love and pleasure to serve and help me get going again Along the same lines there are some that do not believe there are female lookingangels Above all we do not generate new doctrines from spiritual experienceswithout scripture backing The following is scriptural proof that there are womenlooking angels even with wings

Here are the scriptures Zech 59-11 NKJV Then I raised my eyes and looked and there were two women coming with thewind in their wings for they had wings like the wings of a stork and they liftedup the basket between earth and heaven So I said to the angel who talked withme Where are they carrying the basket And he said to me To build ahouse for it in the land of Shinar when it is ready the basket will be set thereon its base

Matt 2230 AMP For in the resurrected state neither do [men] marry nor are [women] given inmarriage but they are like the angels in heaven

4 Because sometimes angels are used as signs to point the way

Isa 3020-21 NKJVYet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore But your eyes shallsee your teachers Your ears shall hear a word behind you saying This is theway walk in it Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn tothe left What did the environment of the angel communicate TEACHERSOT3384OT3384 yarah (yaw-raw) or (2 Chron 2615) yara (yaw-raw) a primitive rootproperly to flow as water (ie to rain) transitively to lay or throw (especially anarrow ie to shoot) figuratively to point out (as if by aiming the finger) toteachKJV - (+)archer cast direct inform instruct lay shew shoot teach (-ering-)through

Before I spoke he was anticipating my need by popping his head around the cornerwhen I turned back to ask to be reassured I think the detail that he was at a cornerwhere the 2 school hallways met was relevant to the above scripture that in theselast days God will manifest angelic and human helpers more and more especiallywhen we are at a crossroads and need help in making the turn in the right direction 5 God was not mad at me Angels are from the spirit world and do not usuallycommunicate with sound in the voice it is usually via the Spirit like to the mind in thesame way conversations take place in dreams However the following possibility alsocame to me In the natural or in the ldquofleshrdquo it would have required a normal person toraise their voice in order to communicate that distance The Lord brought thisscripture into remembrance

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

To me it was a reminder that God doesnrsquot yell at me and He was not mad at me Ihad spent 6-8 weeks away from catching up on typing my rhema and really spendingpriority time with Him I was climbing straight up hill in the learning curve crying outto Him day and night for His help and was amazed to notice His supernatural helpthe whole way through It was a wonderful comfort to my soul and faith However I was feeling very guilty that I was not spending my normal time with Him inthe mornings I knew I had a window of time to get it done before my rhema ran outthat was Pending on line and so I knew I had to cover a lot of territory in shortamount of time Towards the end the condemnation I was trying to overcome with

staying away was increasing and my soul was also very weary I missed our timetogether terribly and started really whining to hear Him I became so sifted with thewhole process I actually wondered if I was going to lose my watchmanrsquos position Bythat time I knew I had to STOP This dream was such an amazing loving balm to my soul That angelrsquos smile ofencouragement was so loving there was simply not one ounce of condemnation orcorrection at all It was a good parable that the distance between us was definitely aldquosignrdquo to my relationship with the Lord at the time But even though I could not seethe Lord He was readily there the moment I called REVELATION I think the following scripture is a wonderful key because we havenow entered a time on the earth when He will be bringing forth His justice upon theearth It will be a fearful and awe-filled time to be alive upon the earth where we willeach learn the fear of the Lord and His Word And yet His mercy to protect a flowerfrom getting crushed is tender and humble as He bends down low to lift us up

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

QUESTION TWO Why was the restaurant downstairs instead of theschool level Going to lower places to me represents humbling oneself To ask seek searchknock beg etc all represent admitting a need and humbling oneself to request helpTo humble oneself is the opposite of an independent spirit who can do it without help

Rev 317-20 NKJVBecause you say I am rich have become wealthy and have need of nothing mdash and do not know that you are wretched miserable poor blind and naked mdash18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire that you may be richand white garments that you may be clothed that the shame of yournakedness may not be revealed and anoint your eyes with eye salve that youmay see 19 As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealousand repent 20 Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voiceand opens the door I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me

Lower or basement levels can represent foundations and also servant hood

1 Cor 311 NKJVFor no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is JesusChrist Matt 2311-12 NKJVBut he who is greatest among you shall be your servant And whoever exalts

himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted Luke 147-11 NKJVSo He told a parable to those who were invited when He noted how they chosethe best places saying to them 8 When you are invited by anyone to awedding feast do not sit down in the best place lest one more honorable thanyou be invited by him 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to youGive place to this man and then you begin with shame to take the lowestplace 10 But when you are invited go and sit down in the lowest place so thatwhen he who invited you comes he may say to you Friend go up higher Thenyou will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you 11 Forwhoever exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will beexalted

The phrase ldquoa basementrdquo is a word pun for abasement

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY WAS THE ANGEL PANTOMIMING

The angel was sent as a guide and to instruct he gave signs and she was tointerpret what those signs meant

God does not always speak He sometimes gives signs and we are to interpret thosesigns to find the heart and mind of God and to know what He is speaking to us at thattime

My first reaction was the silence without words which means a conversation isprivate and between the one who is pantomiming and the one who is receiving thegestures from and angel

Our military uses hand gestures to get a secret message to each other when incombat in order to keep the enemy from hearing the voices So to me the angelpantomiming would mean secret directions

I think the angel was pantomiming to encourage her to grow and develop and useher senses instead of having everything ready made

To show that God was not angry that we are so busy amp He has a sense of humor

Also pantomiming lures us into the mystery to understand what he is saying just asGod woos us with a parable or mystery to intrigue us

There is a journey involved in searching Him out We must come outside the camp

The steepness of the stairs amp your comment on I dont know if I can do that refers tothe place we must meet him out of our comfort zone not in our own strength but aplace of total humility

Pantomiming gesture Rogets Thes Dictionary (sign pointed signal signaled) Angel messenger

Why The angel in the dream was pantomiming which confirmedtied together theDivine Signs signals in 102108 message from the Lord The angel was makinggestures to indicate that this was what the Lord was doing in trying get your attentionThe steps to the right place to eat

Sometimes the Lord speaks to not in just a spoken word that we must still besensitive to be able to hear Thus the angel was pantomiming the directions Wouldwe understand through this kind of direction

Song of Solomon 31-4On my bed night after night I sought him whom my soul loves I sought him but didnot find him I must arise now and goI must seek him whom my soul loves Thewatchmen who make the rounds in the city found me Scarcely had I left them whenI found him whom my soul loves

[Perhaps] the angel was a watchman The verse doesnt say there were wordsexchangedie the watchman silent The pantomime would be help offered butwithout the distraction of words The quest was unbroken

Hebrews 24God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miraclesand by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will

We have to be open to use all of our senses in hearing Gods voice Never forgettingthat Jesus spoke in parables showed people His love thru signs and wonders If weignore signs or the use of all of our senses we will miss what God is trying to showus Just think if the 3 wise men had ignored the star what they would have missed

I think the angel was pantomiming possibly as a way to get your attention Typically ifyou ask someone something they will tell you verbally as well as gesture and aspantomiming is different it would capture my attention at any rate Also it may referto the many ways that God speaks to us that are not perfectly clear at first glancejust as when you looked to where the angel was telling you his gestures made moresense to you He was also quick to reassure you of the appropriate direction to gowhen you looked back to question him

I believe it has to do with the manner of communication we are using For now onlySandys fingers are talking

I think that the angel was not using words because God is expanding ourunderstanding of how He speaks--by pantomime you were forced to pay attentionwith your eyes to what the Lord is sayingdirecting you

(Jesus did those things that He saw the Father doing Hes teaching us to see aswell as hear

He wanted you to fellow His direction as He point them out to you Because the stepsof a righteous man are order by God

Pantomime-a mute gesture getting your attention motioning giving direction withoutwords

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

and tell me where to stop and rest Every moment you know where I am You know what Iam going to say before I even say it You both precede6 and follow6 me and place your

hand of blessing on my headrdquo (Psalm 1391-5 TLB) Educators have studied and analyzed how people learn There are various learningtheories and one is the spiral method It is similar to a spiraling funnel of information circlingoutward Many textbooks are built upon this theory In the early childhood years issuesare introduced As each year passes more and more information is built around thoseoriginal ideas

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief

There has been a lot of internet persecution of the prophetic when they talk about theministry of angels Angels are allowed to minister to the degree we allow them intoour lives We need to be grateful for every kind of help and helper God sends ourwayNeither do we worship angels we worship the Lord and cling to the Lord for His helpPaul also warned us of keeping the gospel of Jesus Christ unchanged

Col 217-19Let no one cheat you of your reward taking delight in false humility and worshipof angels intruding into those things which he has not seen vainly puffed upby his fleshly mind and not holding fast to the Head from whom all the bodynourished and knit together by joints and ligaments grows with the increasethat is from God Gal 16-9 NLTI am shocked that you are turning away so soon from God who in his love andmercy called you to share the eternal life he gives through Christ You arealready following a different way 7 that pretends to be the Good News but is notthe Good News at all You are being fooled by those who twist and change thetruth concerning Christ 8 Let Gods curse fall on anyone including myself whopreaches any other message than the one we told you about Even if an angelcomes from heaven and preaches any other message let him be forevercursed 9 I will say it again If anyone preaches any other gospel than the oneyou welcomed let Gods curse fall upon that person

Many years ago I went through a season where I was first hearing angels and Iworried about it and started to ignore and turn this gift off I became very sifted in thewhole thing Finally I had a dream where I was driving around a corner and slid overto the side of the road backwards A team of angels came to help get my car back onthe road again They came to my window and started pantomiming that they werethere to help me They were so kind and friendly to me in their faces and gesturesBut they did not say a thing In the dream I knew exactly why they were not speakingbecause I had turned them away And yet there was not one look of disapproval orjudgment only Godrsquos love and pleasure to serve and help me get going again Along the same lines there are some that do not believe there are female lookingangels Above all we do not generate new doctrines from spiritual experienceswithout scripture backing The following is scriptural proof that there are womenlooking angels even with wings

Here are the scriptures Zech 59-11 NKJV Then I raised my eyes and looked and there were two women coming with thewind in their wings for they had wings like the wings of a stork and they liftedup the basket between earth and heaven So I said to the angel who talked withme Where are they carrying the basket And he said to me To build ahouse for it in the land of Shinar when it is ready the basket will be set thereon its base

Matt 2230 AMP For in the resurrected state neither do [men] marry nor are [women] given inmarriage but they are like the angels in heaven

4 Because sometimes angels are used as signs to point the way

Isa 3020-21 NKJVYet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore But your eyes shallsee your teachers Your ears shall hear a word behind you saying This is theway walk in it Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn tothe left What did the environment of the angel communicate TEACHERSOT3384OT3384 yarah (yaw-raw) or (2 Chron 2615) yara (yaw-raw) a primitive rootproperly to flow as water (ie to rain) transitively to lay or throw (especially anarrow ie to shoot) figuratively to point out (as if by aiming the finger) toteachKJV - (+)archer cast direct inform instruct lay shew shoot teach (-ering-)through

Before I spoke he was anticipating my need by popping his head around the cornerwhen I turned back to ask to be reassured I think the detail that he was at a cornerwhere the 2 school hallways met was relevant to the above scripture that in theselast days God will manifest angelic and human helpers more and more especiallywhen we are at a crossroads and need help in making the turn in the right direction 5 God was not mad at me Angels are from the spirit world and do not usuallycommunicate with sound in the voice it is usually via the Spirit like to the mind in thesame way conversations take place in dreams However the following possibility alsocame to me In the natural or in the ldquofleshrdquo it would have required a normal person toraise their voice in order to communicate that distance The Lord brought thisscripture into remembrance

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

To me it was a reminder that God doesnrsquot yell at me and He was not mad at me Ihad spent 6-8 weeks away from catching up on typing my rhema and really spendingpriority time with Him I was climbing straight up hill in the learning curve crying outto Him day and night for His help and was amazed to notice His supernatural helpthe whole way through It was a wonderful comfort to my soul and faith However I was feeling very guilty that I was not spending my normal time with Him inthe mornings I knew I had a window of time to get it done before my rhema ran outthat was Pending on line and so I knew I had to cover a lot of territory in shortamount of time Towards the end the condemnation I was trying to overcome with

staying away was increasing and my soul was also very weary I missed our timetogether terribly and started really whining to hear Him I became so sifted with thewhole process I actually wondered if I was going to lose my watchmanrsquos position Bythat time I knew I had to STOP This dream was such an amazing loving balm to my soul That angelrsquos smile ofencouragement was so loving there was simply not one ounce of condemnation orcorrection at all It was a good parable that the distance between us was definitely aldquosignrdquo to my relationship with the Lord at the time But even though I could not seethe Lord He was readily there the moment I called REVELATION I think the following scripture is a wonderful key because we havenow entered a time on the earth when He will be bringing forth His justice upon theearth It will be a fearful and awe-filled time to be alive upon the earth where we willeach learn the fear of the Lord and His Word And yet His mercy to protect a flowerfrom getting crushed is tender and humble as He bends down low to lift us up

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

QUESTION TWO Why was the restaurant downstairs instead of theschool level Going to lower places to me represents humbling oneself To ask seek searchknock beg etc all represent admitting a need and humbling oneself to request helpTo humble oneself is the opposite of an independent spirit who can do it without help

Rev 317-20 NKJVBecause you say I am rich have become wealthy and have need of nothing mdash and do not know that you are wretched miserable poor blind and naked mdash18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire that you may be richand white garments that you may be clothed that the shame of yournakedness may not be revealed and anoint your eyes with eye salve that youmay see 19 As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealousand repent 20 Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voiceand opens the door I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me

Lower or basement levels can represent foundations and also servant hood

1 Cor 311 NKJVFor no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is JesusChrist Matt 2311-12 NKJVBut he who is greatest among you shall be your servant And whoever exalts

himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted Luke 147-11 NKJVSo He told a parable to those who were invited when He noted how they chosethe best places saying to them 8 When you are invited by anyone to awedding feast do not sit down in the best place lest one more honorable thanyou be invited by him 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to youGive place to this man and then you begin with shame to take the lowestplace 10 But when you are invited go and sit down in the lowest place so thatwhen he who invited you comes he may say to you Friend go up higher Thenyou will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you 11 Forwhoever exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will beexalted

The phrase ldquoa basementrdquo is a word pun for abasement

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY WAS THE ANGEL PANTOMIMING

The angel was sent as a guide and to instruct he gave signs and she was tointerpret what those signs meant

God does not always speak He sometimes gives signs and we are to interpret thosesigns to find the heart and mind of God and to know what He is speaking to us at thattime

My first reaction was the silence without words which means a conversation isprivate and between the one who is pantomiming and the one who is receiving thegestures from and angel

Our military uses hand gestures to get a secret message to each other when incombat in order to keep the enemy from hearing the voices So to me the angelpantomiming would mean secret directions

I think the angel was pantomiming to encourage her to grow and develop and useher senses instead of having everything ready made

To show that God was not angry that we are so busy amp He has a sense of humor

Also pantomiming lures us into the mystery to understand what he is saying just asGod woos us with a parable or mystery to intrigue us

There is a journey involved in searching Him out We must come outside the camp

The steepness of the stairs amp your comment on I dont know if I can do that refers tothe place we must meet him out of our comfort zone not in our own strength but aplace of total humility

Pantomiming gesture Rogets Thes Dictionary (sign pointed signal signaled) Angel messenger

Why The angel in the dream was pantomiming which confirmedtied together theDivine Signs signals in 102108 message from the Lord The angel was makinggestures to indicate that this was what the Lord was doing in trying get your attentionThe steps to the right place to eat

Sometimes the Lord speaks to not in just a spoken word that we must still besensitive to be able to hear Thus the angel was pantomiming the directions Wouldwe understand through this kind of direction

Song of Solomon 31-4On my bed night after night I sought him whom my soul loves I sought him but didnot find him I must arise now and goI must seek him whom my soul loves Thewatchmen who make the rounds in the city found me Scarcely had I left them whenI found him whom my soul loves

[Perhaps] the angel was a watchman The verse doesnt say there were wordsexchangedie the watchman silent The pantomime would be help offered butwithout the distraction of words The quest was unbroken

Hebrews 24God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miraclesand by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will

We have to be open to use all of our senses in hearing Gods voice Never forgettingthat Jesus spoke in parables showed people His love thru signs and wonders If weignore signs or the use of all of our senses we will miss what God is trying to showus Just think if the 3 wise men had ignored the star what they would have missed

I think the angel was pantomiming possibly as a way to get your attention Typically ifyou ask someone something they will tell you verbally as well as gesture and aspantomiming is different it would capture my attention at any rate Also it may referto the many ways that God speaks to us that are not perfectly clear at first glancejust as when you looked to where the angel was telling you his gestures made moresense to you He was also quick to reassure you of the appropriate direction to gowhen you looked back to question him

I believe it has to do with the manner of communication we are using For now onlySandys fingers are talking

I think that the angel was not using words because God is expanding ourunderstanding of how He speaks--by pantomime you were forced to pay attentionwith your eyes to what the Lord is sayingdirecting you

(Jesus did those things that He saw the Father doing Hes teaching us to see aswell as hear

He wanted you to fellow His direction as He point them out to you Because the stepsof a righteous man are order by God

Pantomime-a mute gesture getting your attention motioning giving direction withoutwords

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

TIMING

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

TIMING

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Matt 2230 AMP For in the resurrected state neither do [men] marry nor are [women] given inmarriage but they are like the angels in heaven

4 Because sometimes angels are used as signs to point the way

Isa 3020-21 NKJVYet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore But your eyes shallsee your teachers Your ears shall hear a word behind you saying This is theway walk in it Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn tothe left What did the environment of the angel communicate TEACHERSOT3384OT3384 yarah (yaw-raw) or (2 Chron 2615) yara (yaw-raw) a primitive rootproperly to flow as water (ie to rain) transitively to lay or throw (especially anarrow ie to shoot) figuratively to point out (as if by aiming the finger) toteachKJV - (+)archer cast direct inform instruct lay shew shoot teach (-ering-)through

Before I spoke he was anticipating my need by popping his head around the cornerwhen I turned back to ask to be reassured I think the detail that he was at a cornerwhere the 2 school hallways met was relevant to the above scripture that in theselast days God will manifest angelic and human helpers more and more especiallywhen we are at a crossroads and need help in making the turn in the right direction 5 God was not mad at me Angels are from the spirit world and do not usuallycommunicate with sound in the voice it is usually via the Spirit like to the mind in thesame way conversations take place in dreams However the following possibility alsocame to me In the natural or in the ldquofleshrdquo it would have required a normal person toraise their voice in order to communicate that distance The Lord brought thisscripture into remembrance

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

To me it was a reminder that God doesnrsquot yell at me and He was not mad at me Ihad spent 6-8 weeks away from catching up on typing my rhema and really spendingpriority time with Him I was climbing straight up hill in the learning curve crying outto Him day and night for His help and was amazed to notice His supernatural helpthe whole way through It was a wonderful comfort to my soul and faith However I was feeling very guilty that I was not spending my normal time with Him inthe mornings I knew I had a window of time to get it done before my rhema ran outthat was Pending on line and so I knew I had to cover a lot of territory in shortamount of time Towards the end the condemnation I was trying to overcome with

staying away was increasing and my soul was also very weary I missed our timetogether terribly and started really whining to hear Him I became so sifted with thewhole process I actually wondered if I was going to lose my watchmanrsquos position Bythat time I knew I had to STOP This dream was such an amazing loving balm to my soul That angelrsquos smile ofencouragement was so loving there was simply not one ounce of condemnation orcorrection at all It was a good parable that the distance between us was definitely aldquosignrdquo to my relationship with the Lord at the time But even though I could not seethe Lord He was readily there the moment I called REVELATION I think the following scripture is a wonderful key because we havenow entered a time on the earth when He will be bringing forth His justice upon theearth It will be a fearful and awe-filled time to be alive upon the earth where we willeach learn the fear of the Lord and His Word And yet His mercy to protect a flowerfrom getting crushed is tender and humble as He bends down low to lift us up

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

QUESTION TWO Why was the restaurant downstairs instead of theschool level Going to lower places to me represents humbling oneself To ask seek searchknock beg etc all represent admitting a need and humbling oneself to request helpTo humble oneself is the opposite of an independent spirit who can do it without help

Rev 317-20 NKJVBecause you say I am rich have become wealthy and have need of nothing mdash and do not know that you are wretched miserable poor blind and naked mdash18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire that you may be richand white garments that you may be clothed that the shame of yournakedness may not be revealed and anoint your eyes with eye salve that youmay see 19 As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealousand repent 20 Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voiceand opens the door I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me

Lower or basement levels can represent foundations and also servant hood

1 Cor 311 NKJVFor no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is JesusChrist Matt 2311-12 NKJVBut he who is greatest among you shall be your servant And whoever exalts

himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted Luke 147-11 NKJVSo He told a parable to those who were invited when He noted how they chosethe best places saying to them 8 When you are invited by anyone to awedding feast do not sit down in the best place lest one more honorable thanyou be invited by him 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to youGive place to this man and then you begin with shame to take the lowestplace 10 But when you are invited go and sit down in the lowest place so thatwhen he who invited you comes he may say to you Friend go up higher Thenyou will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you 11 Forwhoever exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will beexalted

The phrase ldquoa basementrdquo is a word pun for abasement

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY WAS THE ANGEL PANTOMIMING

The angel was sent as a guide and to instruct he gave signs and she was tointerpret what those signs meant

God does not always speak He sometimes gives signs and we are to interpret thosesigns to find the heart and mind of God and to know what He is speaking to us at thattime

My first reaction was the silence without words which means a conversation isprivate and between the one who is pantomiming and the one who is receiving thegestures from and angel

Our military uses hand gestures to get a secret message to each other when incombat in order to keep the enemy from hearing the voices So to me the angelpantomiming would mean secret directions

I think the angel was pantomiming to encourage her to grow and develop and useher senses instead of having everything ready made

To show that God was not angry that we are so busy amp He has a sense of humor

Also pantomiming lures us into the mystery to understand what he is saying just asGod woos us with a parable or mystery to intrigue us

There is a journey involved in searching Him out We must come outside the camp

The steepness of the stairs amp your comment on I dont know if I can do that refers tothe place we must meet him out of our comfort zone not in our own strength but aplace of total humility

Pantomiming gesture Rogets Thes Dictionary (sign pointed signal signaled) Angel messenger

Why The angel in the dream was pantomiming which confirmedtied together theDivine Signs signals in 102108 message from the Lord The angel was makinggestures to indicate that this was what the Lord was doing in trying get your attentionThe steps to the right place to eat

Sometimes the Lord speaks to not in just a spoken word that we must still besensitive to be able to hear Thus the angel was pantomiming the directions Wouldwe understand through this kind of direction

Song of Solomon 31-4On my bed night after night I sought him whom my soul loves I sought him but didnot find him I must arise now and goI must seek him whom my soul loves Thewatchmen who make the rounds in the city found me Scarcely had I left them whenI found him whom my soul loves

[Perhaps] the angel was a watchman The verse doesnt say there were wordsexchangedie the watchman silent The pantomime would be help offered butwithout the distraction of words The quest was unbroken

Hebrews 24God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miraclesand by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will

We have to be open to use all of our senses in hearing Gods voice Never forgettingthat Jesus spoke in parables showed people His love thru signs and wonders If weignore signs or the use of all of our senses we will miss what God is trying to showus Just think if the 3 wise men had ignored the star what they would have missed

I think the angel was pantomiming possibly as a way to get your attention Typically ifyou ask someone something they will tell you verbally as well as gesture and aspantomiming is different it would capture my attention at any rate Also it may referto the many ways that God speaks to us that are not perfectly clear at first glancejust as when you looked to where the angel was telling you his gestures made moresense to you He was also quick to reassure you of the appropriate direction to gowhen you looked back to question him

I believe it has to do with the manner of communication we are using For now onlySandys fingers are talking

I think that the angel was not using words because God is expanding ourunderstanding of how He speaks--by pantomime you were forced to pay attentionwith your eyes to what the Lord is sayingdirecting you

(Jesus did those things that He saw the Father doing Hes teaching us to see aswell as hear

He wanted you to fellow His direction as He point them out to you Because the stepsof a righteous man are order by God

Pantomime-a mute gesture getting your attention motioning giving direction withoutwords

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

HE SPEAKS IN SEASONS IN OUR LIVES

ldquoTo every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenrdquo (Ecclesiastes 31 KJ) ldquoThe eyes of all look expectantly to You And You give themtheir food in due seasonrdquo (Psalm 14515 NKJV) ldquoa word spoken in due seasonhow good is it (Proverbs 1523 KJ) ldquoAnd let us not be weary in well doing for in

due season we shall reap if we faint notrdquo (Galatians 69 KJ) To understand Godrsquos time table is to understand His calendar Few ifany know that We need to understand that He carries out His plans inseasons We are synchronized with His timing whether we know it ornot When trying to understand what is going on it helps to plug into theknowledge of what season it is Find common denominators and patterns in how your life fits in withthose around you In my own life and in the life of those around me Ihave witnessed seasons of slumber resurrection promotion repentancecleansing praying worship sifting wavering vision promise movementwarfare standing waiting retraining habits weakness faithexpectation etc That list and many others are like months within a year They donrsquot havethe same time frame as our months but they are equivalent to durationsof time within a larger clock

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

staying away was increasing and my soul was also very weary I missed our timetogether terribly and started really whining to hear Him I became so sifted with thewhole process I actually wondered if I was going to lose my watchmanrsquos position Bythat time I knew I had to STOP This dream was such an amazing loving balm to my soul That angelrsquos smile ofencouragement was so loving there was simply not one ounce of condemnation orcorrection at all It was a good parable that the distance between us was definitely aldquosignrdquo to my relationship with the Lord at the time But even though I could not seethe Lord He was readily there the moment I called REVELATION I think the following scripture is a wonderful key because we havenow entered a time on the earth when He will be bringing forth His justice upon theearth It will be a fearful and awe-filled time to be alive upon the earth where we willeach learn the fear of the Lord and His Word And yet His mercy to protect a flowerfrom getting crushed is tender and humble as He bends down low to lift us up

Isa 424 NKJVBehold My Servant whom I uphold My Elect One in whom My soul delights Ihave put My Spirit upon Him He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles 2 He willnot cry out nor raise His voice Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street 3A bruised reed He will not break And smoking flax He will not quench He willbring forth justice for truth 4 He will not fail nor be discouraged Till He hasestablished justice in the earth And the coastlands shall wait for His law

QUESTION TWO Why was the restaurant downstairs instead of theschool level Going to lower places to me represents humbling oneself To ask seek searchknock beg etc all represent admitting a need and humbling oneself to request helpTo humble oneself is the opposite of an independent spirit who can do it without help

Rev 317-20 NKJVBecause you say I am rich have become wealthy and have need of nothing mdash and do not know that you are wretched miserable poor blind and naked mdash18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire that you may be richand white garments that you may be clothed that the shame of yournakedness may not be revealed and anoint your eyes with eye salve that youmay see 19 As many as I love I rebuke and chasten Therefore be zealousand repent 20 Behold I stand at the door and knock If anyone hears My voiceand opens the door I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me

Lower or basement levels can represent foundations and also servant hood

1 Cor 311 NKJVFor no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is JesusChrist Matt 2311-12 NKJVBut he who is greatest among you shall be your servant And whoever exalts

himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted Luke 147-11 NKJVSo He told a parable to those who were invited when He noted how they chosethe best places saying to them 8 When you are invited by anyone to awedding feast do not sit down in the best place lest one more honorable thanyou be invited by him 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to youGive place to this man and then you begin with shame to take the lowestplace 10 But when you are invited go and sit down in the lowest place so thatwhen he who invited you comes he may say to you Friend go up higher Thenyou will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you 11 Forwhoever exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will beexalted

The phrase ldquoa basementrdquo is a word pun for abasement

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY WAS THE ANGEL PANTOMIMING

The angel was sent as a guide and to instruct he gave signs and she was tointerpret what those signs meant

God does not always speak He sometimes gives signs and we are to interpret thosesigns to find the heart and mind of God and to know what He is speaking to us at thattime

My first reaction was the silence without words which means a conversation isprivate and between the one who is pantomiming and the one who is receiving thegestures from and angel

Our military uses hand gestures to get a secret message to each other when incombat in order to keep the enemy from hearing the voices So to me the angelpantomiming would mean secret directions

I think the angel was pantomiming to encourage her to grow and develop and useher senses instead of having everything ready made

To show that God was not angry that we are so busy amp He has a sense of humor

Also pantomiming lures us into the mystery to understand what he is saying just asGod woos us with a parable or mystery to intrigue us

There is a journey involved in searching Him out We must come outside the camp

The steepness of the stairs amp your comment on I dont know if I can do that refers tothe place we must meet him out of our comfort zone not in our own strength but aplace of total humility

Pantomiming gesture Rogets Thes Dictionary (sign pointed signal signaled) Angel messenger

Why The angel in the dream was pantomiming which confirmedtied together theDivine Signs signals in 102108 message from the Lord The angel was makinggestures to indicate that this was what the Lord was doing in trying get your attentionThe steps to the right place to eat

Sometimes the Lord speaks to not in just a spoken word that we must still besensitive to be able to hear Thus the angel was pantomiming the directions Wouldwe understand through this kind of direction

Song of Solomon 31-4On my bed night after night I sought him whom my soul loves I sought him but didnot find him I must arise now and goI must seek him whom my soul loves Thewatchmen who make the rounds in the city found me Scarcely had I left them whenI found him whom my soul loves

[Perhaps] the angel was a watchman The verse doesnt say there were wordsexchangedie the watchman silent The pantomime would be help offered butwithout the distraction of words The quest was unbroken

Hebrews 24God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miraclesand by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will

We have to be open to use all of our senses in hearing Gods voice Never forgettingthat Jesus spoke in parables showed people His love thru signs and wonders If weignore signs or the use of all of our senses we will miss what God is trying to showus Just think if the 3 wise men had ignored the star what they would have missed

I think the angel was pantomiming possibly as a way to get your attention Typically ifyou ask someone something they will tell you verbally as well as gesture and aspantomiming is different it would capture my attention at any rate Also it may referto the many ways that God speaks to us that are not perfectly clear at first glancejust as when you looked to where the angel was telling you his gestures made moresense to you He was also quick to reassure you of the appropriate direction to gowhen you looked back to question him

I believe it has to do with the manner of communication we are using For now onlySandys fingers are talking

I think that the angel was not using words because God is expanding ourunderstanding of how He speaks--by pantomime you were forced to pay attentionwith your eyes to what the Lord is sayingdirecting you

(Jesus did those things that He saw the Father doing Hes teaching us to see aswell as hear

He wanted you to fellow His direction as He point them out to you Because the stepsof a righteous man are order by God

Pantomime-a mute gesture getting your attention motioning giving direction withoutwords

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

TIMING

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

HE SPEAKS IN CIRCLING THROUGH TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoOh Lord You have examined my heart and know everything about me You know when Isit or stand When far away you know my every thought You chart the path ahead of me

and tell me where to stop and rest Every moment you know where I am You know what Iam going to say before I even say it You both precede6 and follow6 me and place your

hand of blessing on my headrdquo (Psalm 1391-5 TLB) Educators have studied and analyzed how people learn There are various learningtheories and one is the spiral method It is similar to a spiraling funnel of information circlingoutward Many textbooks are built upon this theory In the early childhood years issuesare introduced As each year passes more and more information is built around thoseoriginal ideas

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted Luke 147-11 NKJVSo He told a parable to those who were invited when He noted how they chosethe best places saying to them 8 When you are invited by anyone to awedding feast do not sit down in the best place lest one more honorable thanyou be invited by him 9 and he who invited you and him come and say to youGive place to this man and then you begin with shame to take the lowestplace 10 But when you are invited go and sit down in the lowest place so thatwhen he who invited you comes he may say to you Friend go up higher Thenyou will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you 11 Forwhoever exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will beexalted

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY WAS THE ANGEL PANTOMIMING

The angel was sent as a guide and to instruct he gave signs and she was tointerpret what those signs meant

God does not always speak He sometimes gives signs and we are to interpret thosesigns to find the heart and mind of God and to know what He is speaking to us at thattime

My first reaction was the silence without words which means a conversation isprivate and between the one who is pantomiming and the one who is receiving thegestures from and angel

Our military uses hand gestures to get a secret message to each other when incombat in order to keep the enemy from hearing the voices So to me the angelpantomiming would mean secret directions

I think the angel was pantomiming to encourage her to grow and develop and useher senses instead of having everything ready made

To show that God was not angry that we are so busy amp He has a sense of humor

Also pantomiming lures us into the mystery to understand what he is saying just asGod woos us with a parable or mystery to intrigue us

There is a journey involved in searching Him out We must come outside the camp

The steepness of the stairs amp your comment on I dont know if I can do that refers tothe place we must meet him out of our comfort zone not in our own strength but aplace of total humility

Pantomiming gesture Rogets Thes Dictionary (sign pointed signal signaled) Angel messenger

Why The angel in the dream was pantomiming which confirmedtied together theDivine Signs signals in 102108 message from the Lord The angel was makinggestures to indicate that this was what the Lord was doing in trying get your attentionThe steps to the right place to eat

Sometimes the Lord speaks to not in just a spoken word that we must still besensitive to be able to hear Thus the angel was pantomiming the directions Wouldwe understand through this kind of direction

Song of Solomon 31-4On my bed night after night I sought him whom my soul loves I sought him but didnot find him I must arise now and goI must seek him whom my soul loves Thewatchmen who make the rounds in the city found me Scarcely had I left them whenI found him whom my soul loves

[Perhaps] the angel was a watchman The verse doesnt say there were wordsexchangedie the watchman silent The pantomime would be help offered butwithout the distraction of words The quest was unbroken

Hebrews 24God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miraclesand by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will

We have to be open to use all of our senses in hearing Gods voice Never forgettingthat Jesus spoke in parables showed people His love thru signs and wonders If weignore signs or the use of all of our senses we will miss what God is trying to showus Just think if the 3 wise men had ignored the star what they would have missed

I think the angel was pantomiming possibly as a way to get your attention Typically ifyou ask someone something they will tell you verbally as well as gesture and aspantomiming is different it would capture my attention at any rate Also it may referto the many ways that God speaks to us that are not perfectly clear at first glancejust as when you looked to where the angel was telling you his gestures made moresense to you He was also quick to reassure you of the appropriate direction to gowhen you looked back to question him

I believe it has to do with the manner of communication we are using For now onlySandys fingers are talking

I think that the angel was not using words because God is expanding ourunderstanding of how He speaks--by pantomime you were forced to pay attentionwith your eyes to what the Lord is sayingdirecting you

(Jesus did those things that He saw the Father doing Hes teaching us to see aswell as hear

He wanted you to fellow His direction as He point them out to you Because the stepsof a righteous man are order by God

Pantomime-a mute gesture getting your attention motioning giving direction withoutwords

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

HE SPEAKS IN SEASONS IN OUR LIVES

ldquoTo every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenrdquo (Ecclesiastes 31 KJ) ldquoThe eyes of all look expectantly to You And You give themtheir food in due seasonrdquo (Psalm 14515 NKJV) ldquoa word spoken in due seasonhow good is it (Proverbs 1523 KJ) ldquoAnd let us not be weary in well doing for in

due season we shall reap if we faint notrdquo (Galatians 69 KJ) To understand Godrsquos time table is to understand His calendar Few ifany know that We need to understand that He carries out His plans inseasons We are synchronized with His timing whether we know it ornot When trying to understand what is going on it helps to plug into theknowledge of what season it is Find common denominators and patterns in how your life fits in withthose around you In my own life and in the life of those around me Ihave witnessed seasons of slumber resurrection promotion repentancecleansing praying worship sifting wavering vision promise movementwarfare standing waiting retraining habits weakness faithexpectation etc That list and many others are like months within a year They donrsquot havethe same time frame as our months but they are equivalent to durationsof time within a larger clock

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Page 13: UNDERSTANDING GODS TIMING - The Quickened Word · UNDERSTANDING GODS TIMING Mini lessons are shortened, condensed lessons from some of the QW School on How God Speaks. Spending Time

To show that God was not angry that we are so busy amp He has a sense of humor

Also pantomiming lures us into the mystery to understand what he is saying just asGod woos us with a parable or mystery to intrigue us

There is a journey involved in searching Him out We must come outside the camp

The steepness of the stairs amp your comment on I dont know if I can do that refers tothe place we must meet him out of our comfort zone not in our own strength but aplace of total humility

Pantomiming gesture Rogets Thes Dictionary (sign pointed signal signaled) Angel messenger

Why The angel in the dream was pantomiming which confirmedtied together theDivine Signs signals in 102108 message from the Lord The angel was makinggestures to indicate that this was what the Lord was doing in trying get your attentionThe steps to the right place to eat

Sometimes the Lord speaks to not in just a spoken word that we must still besensitive to be able to hear Thus the angel was pantomiming the directions Wouldwe understand through this kind of direction

Song of Solomon 31-4On my bed night after night I sought him whom my soul loves I sought him but didnot find him I must arise now and goI must seek him whom my soul loves Thewatchmen who make the rounds in the city found me Scarcely had I left them whenI found him whom my soul loves

[Perhaps] the angel was a watchman The verse doesnt say there were wordsexchangedie the watchman silent The pantomime would be help offered butwithout the distraction of words The quest was unbroken

Hebrews 24God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miraclesand by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will

We have to be open to use all of our senses in hearing Gods voice Never forgettingthat Jesus spoke in parables showed people His love thru signs and wonders If weignore signs or the use of all of our senses we will miss what God is trying to showus Just think if the 3 wise men had ignored the star what they would have missed

I think the angel was pantomiming possibly as a way to get your attention Typically ifyou ask someone something they will tell you verbally as well as gesture and aspantomiming is different it would capture my attention at any rate Also it may referto the many ways that God speaks to us that are not perfectly clear at first glancejust as when you looked to where the angel was telling you his gestures made moresense to you He was also quick to reassure you of the appropriate direction to gowhen you looked back to question him

I believe it has to do with the manner of communication we are using For now onlySandys fingers are talking

I think that the angel was not using words because God is expanding ourunderstanding of how He speaks--by pantomime you were forced to pay attentionwith your eyes to what the Lord is sayingdirecting you

(Jesus did those things that He saw the Father doing Hes teaching us to see aswell as hear

He wanted you to fellow His direction as He point them out to you Because the stepsof a righteous man are order by God

Pantomime-a mute gesture getting your attention motioning giving direction withoutwords

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

TIMING

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

HE SPEAKS THROUGH THE SYNCHRONIZING OF GODrsquoS PEOPLE

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

TIMING

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Page 14: UNDERSTANDING GODS TIMING - The Quickened Word · UNDERSTANDING GODS TIMING Mini lessons are shortened, condensed lessons from some of the QW School on How God Speaks. Spending Time

Hebrews 24God also testifying with them both by signs and wonders and by various miraclesand by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will

We have to be open to use all of our senses in hearing Gods voice Never forgettingthat Jesus spoke in parables showed people His love thru signs and wonders If weignore signs or the use of all of our senses we will miss what God is trying to showus Just think if the 3 wise men had ignored the star what they would have missed

I think the angel was pantomiming possibly as a way to get your attention Typically ifyou ask someone something they will tell you verbally as well as gesture and aspantomiming is different it would capture my attention at any rate Also it may referto the many ways that God speaks to us that are not perfectly clear at first glancejust as when you looked to where the angel was telling you his gestures made moresense to you He was also quick to reassure you of the appropriate direction to gowhen you looked back to question him

I believe it has to do with the manner of communication we are using For now onlySandys fingers are talking

I think that the angel was not using words because God is expanding ourunderstanding of how He speaks--by pantomime you were forced to pay attentionwith your eyes to what the Lord is sayingdirecting you

(Jesus did those things that He saw the Father doing Hes teaching us to see aswell as hear

He wanted you to fellow His direction as He point them out to you Because the stepsof a righteous man are order by God

Pantomime-a mute gesture getting your attention motioning giving direction withoutwords

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

So that you would respond to His beckoninginvitationdirection by SEEing

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order to get our attention and also to showthe way rather than speaking it is often more powerful to be a demonstration andexample

I think the angel was pantomiming for emphasis Gestures are more profound thanwords and anyone can hear words but only those who pay attention to the onecommunicating are going to get the message when actual words are not used I thinkhe wanted your full attention

I believe the angel was pantomiming in order for you to trust and to hear from theLord yourself

Also maybe to bring some humor into the situation To relax and trust

I just sense that the angel represents and is a confirmation that Sandy was nothearing from the Lord as she so desired at that time so the angel waspantomiming rather than speaking

The angels pantomiming allows us to seek interpretation It forces us to use ourinsight our hearts and minds at the same time Also pantomiming is a very simplisticform of communication it transcends regular language and even a child canunderstand it

Plus the playful angel sounds fun and also it can create in us a desire to know evenmore about what he is doing or asking

Also without words it forces the dreamer to pursue the angel to find out what it goingon It draws us in and puts the ball in our court

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

TIMING

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

RESPONSES FROM THE QW CLASS MEMBERSwwwthequickenedwordcom

WHY DO YOU THINK THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE LOWER LEVEL

The restaurant was not on the same level as the school to stop confusion see theactual hunger she felt was not for literal food anyway it was for the food of the wordso in order to receive the food she had to seek after it thats why the angel was thereto direct her to the food if it was on the same level as the school there would havebeen too much confusion and she would never hear clear the voice of God becauseof all the other voices thats why God told her to slow down listen and receive himshe had to get quiet before she could receive and interpret what he really wanted tofeed her

I think it was downstairs to also let her know that you have to work at things to getwhat you want things dont just drop into our laps We have to go out of our way toget fed both in physical and spiritual things

School An institution for learning for instruction the building a group of persons theeducation provided by a set of circumstances or experiences (New College Edition -The American Heritage Dictionary)

Restaurant A place to serve meals (French) to restore (New College Edition - TheAmerican Heritage Dictionary)

Why (The school level reminds me of head knowledge but a restaurant speaks tome of a place to be fed food from a menu - good for the stomachbelly One can leadto wisdom when applied - while the other gives strength and fullness whenchosen)

The restaurant was downstairs to indicate the steps to the right place for intimacywith the Lord Restored

I thought of Mary and Marthas story We need to not worry about so many things butinstead we should choose the better thing -- sitting at the Lords feet Intimacy

In the zealousness of wanting to complete a task we can get ahead of the Lordmissing His instructions by moving too quickly Trying to accomplish a task in our

own strength amp time table can weary amp discourage us The Lord in trying to get ourattention will use many different avenues to cause us to see and hear Him He isrelentless in trying to get our attention when we have gone out in our own strength

Luke 11 41 42 Martha Martha thou art careful and troubled about many things butone thing is needful and Mary hath chosen that good part which shall not be takenaway from her

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

TIMING

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

HE SPEAKS IN CIRCLING THROUGH TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoOh Lord You have examined my heart and know everything about me You know when Isit or stand When far away you know my every thought You chart the path ahead of me

and tell me where to stop and rest Every moment you know where I am You know what Iam going to say before I even say it You both precede6 and follow6 me and place your

hand of blessing on my headrdquo (Psalm 1391-5 TLB) Educators have studied and analyzed how people learn There are various learningtheories and one is the spiral method It is similar to a spiraling funnel of information circlingoutward Many textbooks are built upon this theory In the early childhood years issuesare introduced As each year passes more and more information is built around thoseoriginal ideas

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

HE SPEAKS THROUGH THE SYNCHRONIZING OF GODrsquoS PEOPLE

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Matthew 1129 30 Take My yolk upon you and learn of Me for I am meek and lowlyin heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls For my yoke is easy and my burden islight

Deuteronomy 65 Love the Lord with all your heart with all your heart and all yourmight

The most important thing is our intimate relationship with the Lord

I see that going lower to be feed is a place of humility To remember that we are toremain humble as the Lord feeds us

The scripture verse that is quicken to me is 2 Chronicles 714 If my people who arecalled by my name will Humble themselves We are first to humble ourselves andthen we are to pray but if we miss the first part we could miss what the Lord has forus

Downstairs was a place to overcome fear and go beyond personal comfort Overcoming the fear and potential pain makes the panorama of a sumptuous placeavailable When the focus is on the pain difficulty in overcoming stairs etc wearent in a place to see what He has prepared for us [1 Cor 29]

Psalms 142 NASB The LORD has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men To see if there areany who understand Who seek after God

James 117 NASBEvery good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from theFather of lights with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow

Proverbs 252 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter But the glory of kings is to search out amatter

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Page 18: UNDERSTANDING GODS TIMING - The Quickened Word · UNDERSTANDING GODS TIMING Mini lessons are shortened, condensed lessons from some of the QW School on How God Speaks. Spending Time

Am I willing to go and do whatever it takes to receive Rhema If I am not willing togo where the Spirit leads then I will miss out on being in Gods presence and I mustalways make time for His daily bread

The restaurant was on the lower level because it is away from all distraction and in aquieter and more private place I believe that we can hear Him and rest in Him andeat from Him when He make us lie down in green pasture

Just like He made the four thousand plus sit down and be quiet before he would feedthem Matt1535-36

The restaurant wasnt in an obvious place where everyone would expect or see it Itwas hidden downstairs

It reminds me about the parable of the Kingdom in Matt 1344 The kingdom ofheaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field In his excitement he soldeverything he owned to get enough money to buy the field - and get the treasuretoo(LB)

Spiritual fast food doesnt satisfy for long We need those times with Jesus where wemake time to go and sit with Him and enjoy a meal In His grace He draws us toHimself stir up the longing to be with Him I have found that He desires ourfellowship even more than we desire it John 648 I am the bread of life

Prov 94amp5 As for Him who lacks understanding (Gods) wisdom says to him Comeeat of my bread and drink of the (spiritual) wine which I have mixed (Amplified)

The restaurant being downstairs may be a reference to needing humility for perfectcommunion with the LORD Or in areas that have basements that is often wherethe family room isthe informal portion of the house where there is a more intimatelevel of communication or knowledge about those around you So perhaps it ispicture that God wants an intimate and personal relationship with us He wants us tocome as we are

Down steep stairs and to the right was a sit-down restaurantnot fast food orquick bite God desires a slowing down to digest the foodby sitting down TIME toeat a mealinvest nourish

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

ldquoOh Lord You have examined my heart and know everything about me You know when Isit or stand When far away you know my every thought You chart the path ahead of me

and tell me where to stop and rest Every moment you know where I am You know what Iam going to say before I even say it You both precede6 and follow6 me and place your

hand of blessing on my headrdquo (Psalm 1391-5 TLB) Educators have studied and analyzed how people learn There are various learningtheories and one is the spiral method It is similar to a spiraling funnel of information circlingoutward Many textbooks are built upon this theory In the early childhood years issuesare introduced As each year passes more and more information is built around thoseoriginal ideas

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Perfect wonderful complete access (no doors) open entryCOME IN

The school level had many doors and no one was there in the hallwaytherestaurant downstairs indicated a set-apart come away from the hub-bub of thebusyness to eat without distractions

School = Our Master Teacher Jesus Who educates us is above us The restaurantbelow is for us as students sitting at the Masters feet learning partaking from theBread of Life

The way up is downKingdom principles

Then because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have achance to eat he said to them Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and getsome rest Mark 631

Luke 1038-41Martha opened her home to Jesus She had a sister called Mary who sat at theLords feet listening to what he said But Martha was distracted by all the preparationsthat had to be made She came to him and asked Lord dont you care that mysister has left me to do the work by myself Tell her to help me Martha Martha the Lord answered you are worried and upset about many thingsbut only one thing is needed Mary has chosen what is better and it will not be takenaway from her

Taste and see that the LORD is good Ps 348

He has filled the hungry with good thingsLuke 153

I believe that angel was pointing to downstairs (Foundation level) to go to get fed asthe Word of God is our foundation and we must get fed at this level in order tounderstand and build higher

Additionally- I believe the double entrance is a symbol for favor to receive theblessings of the Word

I think the restaurant was downstairs becauseschool level is easy access toknowledge and anyone can access knowledge But the real spiritual food of intimacyis at a much deeper level than mere spiritual knowledge You must get beyondlearning and go much deeper and there you can feast on HIS presence All thatsrequired of you is your time attention and your willingness to go into that deeper

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

HE SPEAKS IN CIRCLING THROUGH TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoOh Lord You have examined my heart and know everything about me You know when Isit or stand When far away you know my every thought You chart the path ahead of me

and tell me where to stop and rest Every moment you know where I am You know what Iam going to say before I even say it You both precede6 and follow6 me and place your

hand of blessing on my headrdquo (Psalm 1391-5 TLB) Educators have studied and analyzed how people learn There are various learningtheories and one is the spiral method It is similar to a spiraling funnel of information circlingoutward Many textbooks are built upon this theory In the early childhood years issuesare introduced As each year passes more and more information is built around thoseoriginal ideas

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

place The steep stairs also then could indicate a rapid descent into the deep wherethe true spiritual feast awaits

I believe the restaurant was downstairs because it is a place away from all thebusyness and a place to come to and enjoy company good food relaxation Again aplace to get away from it all

Simply as I believe weve all been learning The Way Up is first DownThe lower we go in soaking in the secret place the more intimacy in this place well receive and we will find every thing we need for life and godliness as we go to the low place Deeper fellowship dining with Father Jesus and Holy Spirit

It is interesting that the angel directed her downstairs to the right - I think this was justa play on words The direction right represents write and downstairs representsdown so essentially the angel was showing her that if she would just take thetime to write down her rhema she would be in the restaurant - eating wonderfulmeals with the Lord

A reason why the reason the restaurant was put downstairs maybe to make it standout It forces the dreamer to seek for the food

Going downstairs means having to make an extra effort and taking time out of yourbusy day to eat

Beside making time the steepness of the stairs meant you needed to trust the Lordfor a way down since you have special physical needs Another test beside timecould trust be was the second requirement

I believe the Lord is showing that we need to go deeper to get the deeper things ofGod to get our spiritual food I believe it also shows that we need to bow lower toreceive all the Lord has for us

I think it represents a posture of humility and intercession to be in the lower level also

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

HE SPEAKS IN CIRCLING THROUGH TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoOh Lord You have examined my heart and know everything about me You know when Isit or stand When far away you know my every thought You chart the path ahead of me

and tell me where to stop and rest Every moment you know where I am You know what Iam going to say before I even say it You both precede6 and follow6 me and place your

hand of blessing on my headrdquo (Psalm 1391-5 TLB) Educators have studied and analyzed how people learn There are various learningtheories and one is the spiral method It is similar to a spiraling funnel of information circlingoutward Many textbooks are built upon this theory In the early childhood years issuesare introduced As each year passes more and more information is built around thoseoriginal ideas

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

HE SPEAKS THROUGH THE SYNCHRONIZING OF GODrsquoS PEOPLE

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When we want to understand His season it helps to be plugged into communication withother Christians then we can discover patterns we have in common These patterns canbe literal as in literal circumstances or spiritual as in symbolic stories within our lives

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

======= RETURNING HOME TO MY WORD 61707 VISION I was flying overhead in a circle and came back to a starting point HEARD Dove HEARD Prophetic Aligned and walking In synch House of bread Thatrsquos where youbelong Quickened APPLICATION After homing doves are sent forth they return home and circle backfrom where they were sent Home is alignment with Gods Word Those who walk inGodrsquos house of Bread are walking in synch according to His divine purposes within Hiscorporate body world wide

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

WORD Orsquo GRAM SET IN PLACE

Seeking resolution to

Everything

That is out of order in my life Independent

No more Praying to be

Living in synch

According to Your Word

Changed and reconciled with Yourblood

Endless peace is my reward

Col 116-17 NKJVAll things were created through Himand for Him And He is before allthings and in Him all things consist Rom 1136 NKJVFor of Him and through Him and toHim are all things to whom be gloryforever Amen Col 119-20 NKJVFor it pleased the Father that in Himall the fullness should dwell and byHim to reconcile all things to Himselfby Him whether things on earth orthings in heaven having made peacethrough the blood of His cross

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

EXPERIENCE THE RIGHT TIME TO OPEN THE DOOR 51809Today I reorganized the lessons at the QW school so that each theme has an indexbecause I am starting to add more on each subject I did a new theme yesterdayabout Godrsquos Timing and added several lessons about His Timing CONFIRMATION This afternoon as I was searching for some information at theforum I discovered that Tao had written a post called ldquoIn His Timingrdquo in 2006 that

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Page 21: UNDERSTANDING GODS TIMING - The Quickened Word · UNDERSTANDING GODS TIMING Mini lessons are shortened, condensed lessons from some of the QW School on How God Speaks. Spending Time

it is the foundation

Perhaps the restaurant (taking time to feed on the Word and spend time with God) isthe foundational level that supports or undergirds the school

I believe when we hunger and thirst for the Word and eat the Word this is alwaysat ground level To use the Word is a level ariser Every thing we do in our walk isat a level so with hunger being the beginning its a lowest level Hunger will bringthe Word to us satisfaction can allow us to give out what we ate Giving brings usto higher levels

The angel pantomiming was I believe more effective than any words the angel couldhave spoken because if we have ears to hear we got the message loud and clear amere sweep of his hands spoke volumes As a messenger of the Lord He need onlyto motion in the direction and we will know

When you asked that question it made me think about how we listen topantomime Sometimes we have to work a little harder to gain meaning Wherewords usually spell things out for us clearly in pantomime we have to concentrate onother communication cues and puzzle out the meaning

I think the actions of the angel was more to hear than words

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

HE SPEAKS IN CIRCLING THROUGH TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoOh Lord You have examined my heart and know everything about me You know when Isit or stand When far away you know my every thought You chart the path ahead of me

and tell me where to stop and rest Every moment you know where I am You know what Iam going to say before I even say it You both precede6 and follow6 me and place your

hand of blessing on my headrdquo (Psalm 1391-5 TLB) Educators have studied and analyzed how people learn There are various learningtheories and one is the spiral method It is similar to a spiraling funnel of information circlingoutward Many textbooks are built upon this theory In the early childhood years issuesare introduced As each year passes more and more information is built around thoseoriginal ideas

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

HE SPEAKS THROUGH THE SYNCHRONIZING OF GODrsquoS PEOPLE

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When we want to understand His season it helps to be plugged into communication withother Christians then we can discover patterns we have in common These patterns canbe literal as in literal circumstances or spiritual as in symbolic stories within our lives

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

======= RETURNING HOME TO MY WORD 61707 VISION I was flying overhead in a circle and came back to a starting point HEARD Dove HEARD Prophetic Aligned and walking In synch House of bread Thatrsquos where youbelong Quickened APPLICATION After homing doves are sent forth they return home and circle backfrom where they were sent Home is alignment with Gods Word Those who walk inGodrsquos house of Bread are walking in synch according to His divine purposes within Hiscorporate body world wide

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

HE SPEAKS WHEN WE GIVE HIM TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

When building communication with the Lord it is important to give God time and resistimpulsiveness and assumption after hearing Him

I have a solitaire game on my computer that is possible to win every time if playedcorrectly All the cards are visible and laid in vertical piles Winning the game is based onchoices of moving cards around from one stack to another A card may have an opening tomove on top of another pile but timing is everything You have to look ahead to see theramifications of moving at that time It might be better to move another card pile first One day as I was playing the game above the concept was quickened to me that this ishow the Lord works His will on earth TIMING IS EVERYTHING People making choices ina series of waiting and moving just like the cards Each time people move when andwhere they are supposed to (either by actions or reactions) their lives get more organizedand line up for future ldquobreakthroughsrdquo This could not happen without first being willing towait on the Lord for His timing In practical terms just because there is an opportunity doesnrsquot mean we are supposed totake it mdash and just because we see a place to move does not mean we are supposed tomove there at that time Movement can be achieved by peoplersquos actual physical decisionsthus producing physical spiritual and emotional ramifications Or movement can beinternal decisions no one else knows about yet having great significance All movementrequires a decision And all decisions have ramifications In other words cause andeffect Therefore it is vital to wait for Him to line things up through HIS time

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

HE SPEAKS THROUGH THE SYNCHRONIZING OF GODrsquoS PEOPLE

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

There needs to be a balance between waiting and moving He doesnrsquot want to raisechildren who are afraid of their own shadow afraid to move He also doesnrsquot want robotsor wooden puppets for children We donrsquot need Godrsquos guidance to brush our teeth Likewise some spiritual movement is practical We can live our Christian life expectingGod to use us to touch others as we live among them When the Lord was trying toconvince me of this during a particular season He gave me the following inspired Word(excerpt from my devotional book Words to Ponder)

Blended mdashWe are one You and I You will begin to recognize this as I confirm your way I pour Myself into you and blended we reach out together Did you think Iwanted puppets for sons - Yes willing and movable vessels Yet not wooden It is YOU I desire ALL of you I gave you a personality unique as yourfingerprint No one can match your mold Together we blend and touch others I do not want to strip you as you seek to do My will As you empty yourself andwait you forget I MADE you human I could have made you an angel but Imade you a living person and send you to other living persons Together we willmove Words are lifeless without My Spirit You speak it I quicken it I gobefore you and prepare hearts We will work together The opposite of waiting is impulsive hearing Impulsive hearing is reaching outand grabbing a Word and running away with it without thought or consideration It is quick action without wisdom of how or when His Word is to be applied ldquoDiscretion will preserve you understanding will keep yourdquo (Proverbs 211NKJV)

When the Lord intends to speak an entire paragraph but only speaks a bit at a time it isbecause He wants a series of reactions and actions from us as a result of hearing HisWord Itrsquos as though He has a long range plan in saying something and He knows if Hesaid it all at once we would not be prepared to receive it Therefore He gives one bit at atime until He reaches His goal of the entire paragraph When we pounce on a Word fromHim and do not give Him time to clarify it or tie it down with reference points then we missHis intent Similar to impulsiveness is assumption - the temptation of jumping to conclusions eitherbefore He is finished speaking or before understanding takes place It is so easy to jumpahead of God Sometimes this can get us in a pickle One day my son and I were walking in the mall together I was walking too slow for himand he would get ahead then stop and wait for me to catch up This happened severaltimes ldquoMom you gotta remind me every now and then that yoursquore my Mom because sinceyou walk so slow I tend to get ahead and then walk next to someone I think is my Momrdquo This was a private joke in reference to another experience that happened earlier in thesummer We were at Fred Meyer and while I was waiting in line at the cashier I saw myson walk up to a lady in the next line over He cut in and stood right behind her He wasstanding so close to her I realized he must think I was that lady I started laughing and

laughing Finally he looked up through the candy shelves between us straight into mylaughing face He looked horrified Then he quickly ran over to me I looked at the ladyand she also thought the whole thing was quite amusing (My son didnrsquot think it was funnyat all) The same thing can happen with hearing the Lord We get in a hurry and assumesomething is Him and it isnrsquot Also mistakes can be avoided if we do not assume weunderstand He may speak on several occasions for several weeks and perhaps yearsbefore giving His ldquopunchlinerdquo If conclusions are drawn too early it may cut Him off from allHe is wanting to say Bring what is heard back to Him and let Him clarify it confirm itmaking His Word a nail in a sure strong place ldquoI will fasten him as a nail in a sure placerdquo (Isaiah 2223 KJ) This takes time Wait for Him His Words no matter what form they come in are exactly like the parable of the sower andthe seed (Mark 4) When He speaks His Words they are received as a seed then theymust be kept with patience The ldquokeptrdquo part is a long growing process The wind the rainthe storms the sun the heat the dry time keeping His Word will enable us to go throughthem all His Word must be confirmed and planted like an anchor where nothing comingagainst it will cause it to drift from its anchored mooring Being confirmed and planted takestime Give God time

HE SPEAKS IN CIRCLING THROUGH TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoOh Lord You have examined my heart and know everything about me You know when Isit or stand When far away you know my every thought You chart the path ahead of me

and tell me where to stop and rest Every moment you know where I am You know what Iam going to say before I even say it You both precede6 and follow6 me and place your

hand of blessing on my headrdquo (Psalm 1391-5 TLB) Educators have studied and analyzed how people learn There are various learningtheories and one is the spiral method It is similar to a spiraling funnel of information circlingoutward Many textbooks are built upon this theory In the early childhood years issuesare introduced As each year passes more and more information is built around thoseoriginal ideas

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

HE SPEAKS THROUGH THE SYNCHRONIZING OF GODrsquoS PEOPLE

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

HE SPEAKS IN CIRCLING THROUGH TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoOh Lord You have examined my heart and know everything about me You know when Isit or stand When far away you know my every thought You chart the path ahead of me

and tell me where to stop and rest Every moment you know where I am You know what Iam going to say before I even say it You both precede6 and follow6 me and place your

hand of blessing on my headrdquo (Psalm 1391-5 TLB) Educators have studied and analyzed how people learn There are various learningtheories and one is the spiral method It is similar to a spiraling funnel of information circlingoutward Many textbooks are built upon this theory In the early childhood years issuesare introduced As each year passes more and more information is built around thoseoriginal ideas

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

HE SPEAKS THROUGH THE SYNCHRONIZING OF GODrsquoS PEOPLE

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When we want to understand His season it helps to be plugged into communication withother Christians then we can discover patterns we have in common These patterns canbe literal as in literal circumstances or spiritual as in symbolic stories within our lives

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

======= RETURNING HOME TO MY WORD 61707 VISION I was flying overhead in a circle and came back to a starting point HEARD Dove HEARD Prophetic Aligned and walking In synch House of bread Thatrsquos where youbelong Quickened APPLICATION After homing doves are sent forth they return home and circle backfrom where they were sent Home is alignment with Gods Word Those who walk inGodrsquos house of Bread are walking in synch according to His divine purposes within Hiscorporate body world wide

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

WORD Orsquo GRAM SET IN PLACE

Seeking resolution to

Everything

That is out of order in my life Independent

No more Praying to be

Living in synch

According to Your Word

Changed and reconciled with Yourblood

Endless peace is my reward

Col 116-17 NKJVAll things were created through Himand for Him And He is before allthings and in Him all things consist Rom 1136 NKJVFor of Him and through Him and toHim are all things to whom be gloryforever Amen Col 119-20 NKJVFor it pleased the Father that in Himall the fullness should dwell and byHim to reconcile all things to Himselfby Him whether things on earth orthings in heaven having made peacethrough the blood of His cross

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

EXPERIENCE THE RIGHT TIME TO OPEN THE DOOR 51809Today I reorganized the lessons at the QW school so that each theme has an indexbecause I am starting to add more on each subject I did a new theme yesterdayabout Godrsquos Timing and added several lessons about His Timing CONFIRMATION This afternoon as I was searching for some information at theforum I discovered that Tao had written a post called ldquoIn His Timingrdquo in 2006 that

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

HE SPEAKS IN CIRCLING THROUGH TIME

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoOh Lord You have examined my heart and know everything about me You know when Isit or stand When far away you know my every thought You chart the path ahead of me

and tell me where to stop and rest Every moment you know where I am You know what Iam going to say before I even say it You both precede6 and follow6 me and place your

hand of blessing on my headrdquo (Psalm 1391-5 TLB) Educators have studied and analyzed how people learn There are various learningtheories and one is the spiral method It is similar to a spiraling funnel of information circlingoutward Many textbooks are built upon this theory In the early childhood years issuesare introduced As each year passes more and more information is built around thoseoriginal ideas

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

======= RETURNING HOME TO MY WORD 61707 VISION I was flying overhead in a circle and came back to a starting point HEARD Dove HEARD Prophetic Aligned and walking In synch House of bread Thatrsquos where youbelong Quickened APPLICATION After homing doves are sent forth they return home and circle backfrom where they were sent Home is alignment with Gods Word Those who walk inGodrsquos house of Bread are walking in synch according to His divine purposes within Hiscorporate body world wide

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

WORD Orsquo GRAM SET IN PLACE

Seeking resolution to

Everything

That is out of order in my life Independent

No more Praying to be

Living in synch

According to Your Word

Changed and reconciled with Yourblood

Endless peace is my reward

Col 116-17 NKJVAll things were created through Himand for Him And He is before allthings and in Him all things consist Rom 1136 NKJVFor of Him and through Him and toHim are all things to whom be gloryforever Amen Col 119-20 NKJVFor it pleased the Father that in Himall the fullness should dwell and byHim to reconcile all things to Himselfby Him whether things on earth orthings in heaven having made peacethrough the blood of His cross

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

ldquoTo every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenrdquo (Ecclesiastes 31 KJ) ldquoThe eyes of all look expectantly to You And You give themtheir food in due seasonrdquo (Psalm 14515 NKJV) ldquoa word spoken in due seasonhow good is it (Proverbs 1523 KJ) ldquoAnd let us not be weary in well doing for in

due season we shall reap if we faint notrdquo (Galatians 69 KJ) To understand Godrsquos time table is to understand His calendar Few ifany know that We need to understand that He carries out His plans inseasons We are synchronized with His timing whether we know it ornot When trying to understand what is going on it helps to plug into theknowledge of what season it is Find common denominators and patterns in how your life fits in withthose around you In my own life and in the life of those around me Ihave witnessed seasons of slumber resurrection promotion repentancecleansing praying worship sifting wavering vision promise movementwarfare standing waiting retraining habits weakness faithexpectation etc That list and many others are like months within a year They donrsquot havethe same time frame as our months but they are equivalent to durationsof time within a larger clock

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Think of an isolated dot of information Consider the perspective of that dot Looking at adot of information it is a dot There is no reference point no common denominator nothingto connect Now draw a continuous circle starting at the dot making the circle larger andlarger around itself When the first circle of information passes around the dot it now hassome sort of reference point of understanding Another circle and its reference grows Hasthe dot changed No the original dot has not changed More than likely its originalperspective has Why does God speak this general way more often than an outline format or one twothree Although organized outlines are ideas segmented separated and connected bysections A spiral can join numerous ideas weaving them into one continuous flow However a spiral can take one concept build upon it join it with another and another thenfocus on any concept it chooses yet still link directly with other concepts An example is how this book is written around the word ldquoquickeningrdquo The message andimportance of the Holy Spiritrsquos quickening is mentioned many times Does the firstldquodefinition dotrdquo on quickening change No but eventually the perspective of its importancedoes When God speaks in circles it also gives us a chance to breathe when information crowdsour ldquodotrdquo He moves in and touches moves out and gives us room - Circling around theissue expanding clarifying providing reference points adding a new perspective Sometimes it takes years for the Lord to circle issues in our life if we are not willing vesselsto listen to what He is saying Sometimes He continuously circles around issues for weeksor even seasons trying to get past our inability to comprehend It is important not to jumpon a dot of information with a mad dash If we wait undoubtedly He will circle again withmore input The Bible gives examples of how God spoke in circles The stories covenants andhistories repeat themselves throughout the text Consider the study of the Old Testamentfeasts The original dot of Passover was introduced by killing a lamb and placing its bloodon the lintel of the door This protected the Jewish people on the night the death angelslew Egyptrsquos first born (Exodus 127) In the next circle God told them to celebrate thisremembrance as a feast (Exodus 1217) They circled that feast until Jesus came Hebecame the Passover lamb and was sacrificed for our sins and became our protection frometernal separation from God ldquoFor indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for usrdquo (1Corinthians 57 NKJV) All the feasts are introduced and have been in the process ofcircling outward to their prophetic fulfillment Much of the Old Testament introduces Jesus The New Testament circles that informationthrough Jesusrsquo life We join that circle and live Jesusrsquo life in us in like manner The nextgeneration will join us The circle grows and God continues to reveal Himself One day wewill see Him face to face and know Him as we are known It is said that something has to be repeated seven times before it is permanently etched inour brain Repetition is important in establishing facts Stories covenants and history wererepeated many times in the Bible by the Lord restating issues to the people In this samemanner I have noticed the Lord repeats His Words to me each time perhaps with a slightlydifferent angle each time circling the issue until I finally ldquoget itrdquo Then when I finally figureout His perspective He repeats it just to confirm that I understood then He repeats it again

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

HE SPEAKS IN SEASONS IN OUR LIVES

ldquoTo every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenrdquo (Ecclesiastes 31 KJ) ldquoThe eyes of all look expectantly to You And You give themtheir food in due seasonrdquo (Psalm 14515 NKJV) ldquoa word spoken in due seasonhow good is it (Proverbs 1523 KJ) ldquoAnd let us not be weary in well doing for in

due season we shall reap if we faint notrdquo (Galatians 69 KJ) To understand Godrsquos time table is to understand His calendar Few ifany know that We need to understand that He carries out His plans inseasons We are synchronized with His timing whether we know it ornot When trying to understand what is going on it helps to plug into theknowledge of what season it is Find common denominators and patterns in how your life fits in withthose around you In my own life and in the life of those around me Ihave witnessed seasons of slumber resurrection promotion repentancecleansing praying worship sifting wavering vision promise movementwarfare standing waiting retraining habits weakness faithexpectation etc That list and many others are like months within a year They donrsquot havethe same time frame as our months but they are equivalent to durationsof time within a larger clock

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

to sink it deeper The way I keep His Words to me is to record them on the computer Through an easysearch method I can keep them in remembrance and understand at a deeper level what Heis talking about other than just that moment in time ldquoBut that on the good ground are theywhich in an honest and good heart having heard the word keep it and bring forth fruit withpatiencerdquo (Luke 815 KJ) For instance He may speak concerning the Word ldquograduationrdquo In context to that WordHe may share some concepts about graduation and what that means on a spiritual level Then perhaps a few more months pass and the term graduation is once again introduced(via all the various means of hearing Him in this book) and it connects with the last time Iheard Him speak to me about graduation I know it is some time in the future and I am toprepare for this Several years later He continues to bring up the concept which I havefaithfully recorded in the computer Only this time He says the time is imminent Now I doa search on the word graduation or graduate etc and find all the times He has spoken tome about graduation Throughout those circles He weaves His perspectives on whatgraduation means and it becomes clearer and clearer then suddenly He is saying now isHis time for graduation

GOD BESETS US WITH HIS WORD

When God speaks to us by circling through time this is one example of the word beset inthe Hebrew Ps 1393-5 KJV Thou compassest my path and my lying down and art acquainted with all my ways Forthere is not a word in my tongue but lo O LORD thou knowest it altogether Thou hastbeset me behind and before and laid thine hand upon me

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

HE SPEAKS THROUGH THE SYNCHRONIZING OF GODrsquoS PEOPLE

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When we want to understand His season it helps to be plugged into communication withother Christians then we can discover patterns we have in common These patterns canbe literal as in literal circumstances or spiritual as in symbolic stories within our lives

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

HE SPEAKS THROUGH THE SYNCHRONIZING OF GODrsquoS PEOPLE

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When we want to understand His season it helps to be plugged into communication withother Christians then we can discover patterns we have in common These patterns canbe literal as in literal circumstances or spiritual as in symbolic stories within our lives

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

======= RETURNING HOME TO MY WORD 61707 VISION I was flying overhead in a circle and came back to a starting point HEARD Dove HEARD Prophetic Aligned and walking In synch House of bread Thatrsquos where youbelong Quickened APPLICATION After homing doves are sent forth they return home and circle backfrom where they were sent Home is alignment with Gods Word Those who walk inGodrsquos house of Bread are walking in synch according to His divine purposes within Hiscorporate body world wide

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

TIMING

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

HE SPEAKS TIMELESS WORDSThe wonder of His Words stories and etc is that His Word is eternal At the moment ofquickening it gives instant life to our hearts Yet next time He may quicken the samestory and it will have another application for another set of circumstances His Wordsalways grow WITH us That is because it is HIM speakingIt amazes me how so many people can walk away from a sermon each fed and met attheir point of need If you ask what the need was each will say something different OnlyGod can take one Word and quicken it so many ways His Word HAS to be eternal toreach us all As mentioned before I belong to a small group where each of us keep a daily journal ofthings the Lord is speaking into our lives When we compare days often we will find thatHe will talk to us about similar issues within the same time period What amazes me isthat His Words are so flexible to cover so many applications Someone else in the groupmay have heard something prophetic for the future but when I read it it can be applied tothe natural circumstance of what I just went through One person may hear a Word and ithas a total different application for each of us not only spiritually but physically Othertimes I may read something a year later and realize I am going through the same thingand His Word is quickened for an entirely new set of circumstances When our cats Cally and Cuddles shared the same pillow I often rubbed both of them withone hand at the same time I grinned and thought of how big God is and how He touches

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

HE SPEAKS IN SEASONS IN OUR LIVES

ldquoTo every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenrdquo (Ecclesiastes 31 KJ) ldquoThe eyes of all look expectantly to You And You give themtheir food in due seasonrdquo (Psalm 14515 NKJV) ldquoa word spoken in due seasonhow good is it (Proverbs 1523 KJ) ldquoAnd let us not be weary in well doing for in

due season we shall reap if we faint notrdquo (Galatians 69 KJ) To understand Godrsquos time table is to understand His calendar Few ifany know that We need to understand that He carries out His plans inseasons We are synchronized with His timing whether we know it ornot When trying to understand what is going on it helps to plug into theknowledge of what season it is Find common denominators and patterns in how your life fits in withthose around you In my own life and in the life of those around me Ihave witnessed seasons of slumber resurrection promotion repentancecleansing praying worship sifting wavering vision promise movementwarfare standing waiting retraining habits weakness faithexpectation etc That list and many others are like months within a year They donrsquot havethe same time frame as our months but they are equivalent to durationsof time within a larger clock

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

HE SPEAKS THROUGH THE SYNCHRONIZING OF GODrsquoS PEOPLE

From the book 101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)

ldquoTill we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect

man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christrdquo (Ephesians 413 KJ)

ldquoBehold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unityrdquo(Psalm 1331 KJ)

When we want to understand His season it helps to be plugged into communication withother Christians then we can discover patterns we have in common These patterns canbe literal as in literal circumstances or spiritual as in symbolic stories within our lives

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

======= RETURNING HOME TO MY WORD 61707 VISION I was flying overhead in a circle and came back to a starting point HEARD Dove HEARD Prophetic Aligned and walking In synch House of bread Thatrsquos where youbelong Quickened APPLICATION After homing doves are sent forth they return home and circle backfrom where they were sent Home is alignment with Gods Word Those who walk inGodrsquos house of Bread are walking in synch according to His divine purposes within Hiscorporate body world wide

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

Col 116-17 NKJVAll things were created through Himand for Him And He is before allthings and in Him all things consist Rom 1136 NKJVFor of Him and through Him and toHim are all things to whom be gloryforever Amen Col 119-20 NKJVFor it pleased the Father that in Himall the fullness should dwell and byHim to reconcile all things to Himselfby Him whether things on earth orthings in heaven having made peacethrough the blood of His cross

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

======= RETURNING HOME TO MY WORD 61707 VISION I was flying overhead in a circle and came back to a starting point HEARD Dove HEARD Prophetic Aligned and walking In synch House of bread Thatrsquos where youbelong Quickened APPLICATION After homing doves are sent forth they return home and circle backfrom where they were sent Home is alignment with Gods Word Those who walk inGodrsquos house of Bread are walking in synch according to His divine purposes within Hiscorporate body world wide

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

HE SPEAKS IN SEASONS IN OUR LIVES

ldquoTo every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenrdquo (Ecclesiastes 31 KJ) ldquoThe eyes of all look expectantly to You And You give themtheir food in due seasonrdquo (Psalm 14515 NKJV) ldquoa word spoken in due seasonhow good is it (Proverbs 1523 KJ) ldquoAnd let us not be weary in well doing for in

due season we shall reap if we faint notrdquo (Galatians 69 KJ) To understand Godrsquos time table is to understand His calendar Few ifany know that We need to understand that He carries out His plans inseasons We are synchronized with His timing whether we know it ornot When trying to understand what is going on it helps to plug into theknowledge of what season it is Find common denominators and patterns in how your life fits in withthose around you In my own life and in the life of those around me Ihave witnessed seasons of slumber resurrection promotion repentancecleansing praying worship sifting wavering vision promise movementwarfare standing waiting retraining habits weakness faithexpectation etc That list and many others are like months within a year They donrsquot havethe same time frame as our months but they are equivalent to durationsof time within a larger clock

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Page 33: UNDERSTANDING GODS TIMING - The Quickened Word · UNDERSTANDING GODS TIMING Mini lessons are shortened, condensed lessons from some of the QW School on How God Speaks. Spending Time

When God moves He moves on behalf of the individual and the group In belonging to thebody of Christ we are merged into the gears of His large time clock He gave me a vision once of a mass of gears As one gear moved it moved another andanother As I viewed the individual gears they moved in little circles touching other gearsmoving in similar circles Each small gear was joined within a huge structure of gearswhich joined into giant gears moving more slowly All these gears turned into people andtheir arms were linked in a circle As one person moved it began the process and they allmoved in synchronization Then I saw the connection of gears turn into a replica of Hisclock As He merges us within its gears His overall clock moves very slowly Synchronizing a group of people like this would be practically impossible in the flesh Onlythe Holy Spirit can do this incredible task The Lord often uses the unity of His people to confirm us with His Words They are like theabove gears providing places in which to link and become grounded One time when myson and I went on a bike ride and I tried to stand up on my three speed bike my gearspopped out of place and the pedals slipped I found if I put my thumb on the gear thing(sorry female word) I could press down a little and it would be OK But the allegoryshouted at me because they were gears (I was really into gears because of the abovegear vision the Lord had given me) I kept thinking ldquoLord I have nothing to push againstthey keep slippingrdquo When I came home I collapsed in front of the TV to see what my husband was watching Itwas a science documentary about physics and the universe of which I barely understood However I watched because it had a reoccurring picture of gears moving in a clock Ofcourse each gear was a different size and as one moved another did and so on ldquoLordwhat are You trying to tell me What is the allegory of my gears slippingrdquo I noticed thebiggest gear had a pendulum kind of bar that had two pointers one on each end When thebar swung one way the pointer would connect with the big gear and push or move itforward one space Then when the pendulum moved back the pointer on the other endwould catch another gear on another side I said ldquoThatrsquos what I need to get me movingrdquo mdashAn anchor a hook a lever that would hold me in place in other words HIS WORDCONFIRMED and driven in a sure strong place It was a matter of timing The reason myldquogearsrdquo were slipping is that I still needed confirming all within His timing of fulfilling Hispromises He was telling me that if my ability to launch out and move was unstable then Ineeded to wait for more confirmation until I had a secure foundation If you seek to plug into understanding Godrsquos season as related to the unity of patterns ofbelievers around you it is vital you experience His quickening and revelation power Without them your knowledge will be empty and you will become a false prophet untoyourself following signs When the Holy Spirit quickens your desired understanding it islike a pool of water on a hot day Soak it up and find refreshment Call others to join you They need understanding too

PART TWO RHEMA ABOUT BEING IN SYNCH

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

======= RETURNING HOME TO MY WORD 61707 VISION I was flying overhead in a circle and came back to a starting point HEARD Dove HEARD Prophetic Aligned and walking In synch House of bread Thatrsquos where youbelong Quickened APPLICATION After homing doves are sent forth they return home and circle backfrom where they were sent Home is alignment with Gods Word Those who walk inGodrsquos house of Bread are walking in synch according to His divine purposes within Hiscorporate body world wide

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

WORD Orsquo GRAM SET IN PLACE

Seeking resolution to

Everything

That is out of order in my life Independent

No more Praying to be

Living in synch

According to Your Word

Changed and reconciled with Yourblood

Endless peace is my reward

Col 116-17 NKJVAll things were created through Himand for Him And He is before allthings and in Him all things consist Rom 1136 NKJVFor of Him and through Him and toHim are all things to whom be gloryforever Amen Col 119-20 NKJVFor it pleased the Father that in Himall the fullness should dwell and byHim to reconcile all things to Himselfby Him whether things on earth orthings in heaven having made peacethrough the blood of His cross

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

EXPERIENCE THE RIGHT TIME TO OPEN THE DOOR 51809Today I reorganized the lessons at the QW school so that each theme has an indexbecause I am starting to add more on each subject I did a new theme yesterdayabout Godrsquos Timing and added several lessons about His Timing CONFIRMATION This afternoon as I was searching for some information at theforum I discovered that Tao had written a post called ldquoIn His Timingrdquo in 2006 that

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

FITTING INTO THE FLOW OF THE SPIRIT 11607 DREAM I had a dream about learning to respect peoplersquos boundaries or metrons inministry I was playing a duet on the piano with a pastorrsquos wife She was playing the higheroctaves and I was playing the lower ones Someone came in on my side at the lower endof the keyboard and began playing too It was not in rhythm or synch with what we werealready playing So we had to stop while I explained about learning how to function in ourown areas of callings in God and when we do so it perfectly fits and flows with all that HisSpirit is ldquoplayingrdquo in His heavenly music

1 Cor 1429-33 NKJVLet two or three prophets speak and let the others judge But if anything is revealed toanother who sits by let the first keep silent For you can all prophesy one by one thatall may learn and all may be encouraged And the spirits of the prophets are subject tothe prophets For God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all the churchesof the saints 1 Cor 1440 NKJVLet all things be done decently and in order

======= RETURNING HOME TO MY WORD 61707 VISION I was flying overhead in a circle and came back to a starting point HEARD Dove HEARD Prophetic Aligned and walking In synch House of bread Thatrsquos where youbelong Quickened APPLICATION After homing doves are sent forth they return home and circle backfrom where they were sent Home is alignment with Gods Word Those who walk inGodrsquos house of Bread are walking in synch according to His divine purposes within Hiscorporate body world wide

John 1720-23 NKJVI do not pray for these alone but also for those who will believe in Me through theirword that they all may be one as You Father are in Me and I in You that they alsomay be one in Us that the world may believe that You sent Me And the glory whichYou gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as We are one I in themand You in Me that they may be made perfect in one and that the world may know thatYou have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me

======= IN SYNCH SET IN PLACE 11108 VISION I saw something like a Chinese marble game where there were little holes forthe marbles to settle in to The board was tilting and moving around so as to tip the marblesout of their place The only ones that stayed put were ones that were settled into the spotsof FAITH HOPE AND LOVE His purpose is to move all our wavering places and settlethem into faith hope love so that they will remain When we are in synch we line up withGods Word the only thing that remains

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

======= CUTTING OFF WHAT DOES NOT ALIGN IN SYNCH 90908 VISION I saw the childrenrsquos hand game where they pantomimed in synching motions onONE TWO And on the THREE they chose one of the 3 signs They chose a pair ofscissors which were to cut off something They were cutting of that which was not in synchand in one accord with Gods Word

Zeph 39 NKJVFor then I will restore to the peoples a pure language that they all may call on thename of the LORD to serve Him with one accord 1 Cor 110-11 NKJVNow I plead with you brethren by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you allspeak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you but that you beperfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment Phil 21-3 NKJVTherefore if there is any consolation in Christ if any comfort of love if any fellowshipof the Spirit if any affection and mercy fulfill my joy by being like-minded having thesame love being of one accord of one mind

ldquoTo every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenrdquo (Ecclesiastes 31 KJ) ldquoThe eyes of all look expectantly to You And You give themtheir food in due seasonrdquo (Psalm 14515 NKJV) ldquoa word spoken in due seasonhow good is it (Proverbs 1523 KJ) ldquoAnd let us not be weary in well doing for in

due season we shall reap if we faint notrdquo (Galatians 69 KJ) To understand Godrsquos time table is to understand His calendar Few ifany know that We need to understand that He carries out His plans inseasons We are synchronized with His timing whether we know it ornot When trying to understand what is going on it helps to plug into theknowledge of what season it is Find common denominators and patterns in how your life fits in withthose around you In my own life and in the life of those around me Ihave witnessed seasons of slumber resurrection promotion repentancecleansing praying worship sifting wavering vision promise movementwarfare standing waiting retraining habits weakness faithexpectation etc That list and many others are like months within a year They donrsquot havethe same time frame as our months but they are equivalent to durationsof time within a larger clock

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Heb 1227-29 NKJVNow this Yet once more indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken as of things that are made that the things which cannot be shaken may remain Therefore since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken let us havegrace by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear For ourGod is a consuming fire 1 Cor 1313-141And now abide faith hope love these three but the greatest of these is love

HE SPEAKS IN SEASONS IN OUR LIVES

ldquoTo every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenrdquo (Ecclesiastes 31 KJ) ldquoThe eyes of all look expectantly to You And You give themtheir food in due seasonrdquo (Psalm 14515 NKJV) ldquoa word spoken in due seasonhow good is it (Proverbs 1523 KJ) ldquoAnd let us not be weary in well doing for in

due season we shall reap if we faint notrdquo (Galatians 69 KJ) To understand Godrsquos time table is to understand His calendar Few ifany know that We need to understand that He carries out His plans inseasons We are synchronized with His timing whether we know it ornot When trying to understand what is going on it helps to plug into theknowledge of what season it is Find common denominators and patterns in how your life fits in withthose around you In my own life and in the life of those around me Ihave witnessed seasons of slumber resurrection promotion repentancecleansing praying worship sifting wavering vision promise movementwarfare standing waiting retraining habits weakness faithexpectation etc That list and many others are like months within a year They donrsquot havethe same time frame as our months but they are equivalent to durationsof time within a larger clock

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

HE SPEAKS IN SEASONS IN OUR LIVES

ldquoTo every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenrdquo (Ecclesiastes 31 KJ) ldquoThe eyes of all look expectantly to You And You give themtheir food in due seasonrdquo (Psalm 14515 NKJV) ldquoa word spoken in due seasonhow good is it (Proverbs 1523 KJ) ldquoAnd let us not be weary in well doing for in

due season we shall reap if we faint notrdquo (Galatians 69 KJ) To understand Godrsquos time table is to understand His calendar Few ifany know that We need to understand that He carries out His plans inseasons We are synchronized with His timing whether we know it ornot When trying to understand what is going on it helps to plug into theknowledge of what season it is Find common denominators and patterns in how your life fits in withthose around you In my own life and in the life of those around me Ihave witnessed seasons of slumber resurrection promotion repentancecleansing praying worship sifting wavering vision promise movementwarfare standing waiting retraining habits weakness faithexpectation etc That list and many others are like months within a year They donrsquot havethe same time frame as our months but they are equivalent to durationsof time within a larger clock

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

EXPERIENCE THE RIGHT TIME TO OPEN THE DOOR 51809Today I reorganized the lessons at the QW school so that each theme has an indexbecause I am starting to add more on each subject I did a new theme yesterdayabout Godrsquos Timing and added several lessons about His Timing CONFIRMATION This afternoon as I was searching for some information at theforum I discovered that Tao had written a post called ldquoIn His Timingrdquo in 2006 that

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

HE SPEAKS IN SEASONS IN OUR LIVES

ldquoTo every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavenrdquo (Ecclesiastes 31 KJ) ldquoThe eyes of all look expectantly to You And You give themtheir food in due seasonrdquo (Psalm 14515 NKJV) ldquoa word spoken in due seasonhow good is it (Proverbs 1523 KJ) ldquoAnd let us not be weary in well doing for in

due season we shall reap if we faint notrdquo (Galatians 69 KJ) To understand Godrsquos time table is to understand His calendar Few ifany know that We need to understand that He carries out His plans inseasons We are synchronized with His timing whether we know it ornot When trying to understand what is going on it helps to plug into theknowledge of what season it is Find common denominators and patterns in how your life fits in withthose around you In my own life and in the life of those around me Ihave witnessed seasons of slumber resurrection promotion repentancecleansing praying worship sifting wavering vision promise movementwarfare standing waiting retraining habits weakness faithexpectation etc That list and many others are like months within a year They donrsquot havethe same time frame as our months but they are equivalent to durationsof time within a larger clock

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

due season we shall reap if we faint notrdquo (Galatians 69 KJ) To understand Godrsquos time table is to understand His calendar Few ifany know that We need to understand that He carries out His plans inseasons We are synchronized with His timing whether we know it ornot When trying to understand what is going on it helps to plug into theknowledge of what season it is Find common denominators and patterns in how your life fits in withthose around you In my own life and in the life of those around me Ihave witnessed seasons of slumber resurrection promotion repentancecleansing praying worship sifting wavering vision promise movementwarfare standing waiting retraining habits weakness faithexpectation etc That list and many others are like months within a year They donrsquot havethe same time frame as our months but they are equivalent to durationsof time within a larger clock

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

His larger clock works within seasons of winter spring summer and fall I stood through a very long season He specifically called ldquowinterrdquo Thatwinter lasted 3frac12 years I was very happy to see it end (Believe mewinter does end and spring does come)

Spring is a season when Godgives us new beginnings freshstarts new boundaries to grow into promotions birthing newministries babies jobs and

assignments It is a time of fresh catapulted faith to launchinto the unknown It is a time of seeing the first smallbeginnings of what God spoke in our winter tombs It isresurrection power of hope courage and rekindled passion

Summer is a time when weare growing in the assignmentsHe has given us It is a time ofexperiencing visual fruit giftsmovement and productivity It is

a fulfilling time where we are fully launched in passion andcarrying out the plans God has spoken to us Summer is a timeof labor and delivery

Fall is a time of bringing thingsinto completion We harvest andconclude what we have beenbuilding We organize it and settleit and either store it for later or

give it away Just like the parable of the tares and the wheatfall is a time of release and letting go as we prepare for winter Fall is the beginning of death to self where God is tearing downstructures in our lives instead of building them up

Winteris a time of death to self where wewait upon God to bring new life andhope It is usually a colder time with

isolation separation and little outward or visible activity in God In thedarkness of onersquos tomb in the dark night of the soul this is where wedraw near to God by putting our roots down deep in Him We cling indesperate times and He is there to reassure us and speak Words of

hopeful promise of what is to come

=======

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

EXPERIENCE THE RIGHT TIME TO OPEN THE DOOR 51809Today I reorganized the lessons at the QW school so that each theme has an indexbecause I am starting to add more on each subject I did a new theme yesterdayabout Godrsquos Timing and added several lessons about His Timing CONFIRMATION This afternoon as I was searching for some information at theforum I discovered that Tao had written a post called ldquoIn His Timingrdquo in 2006 that

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

These 4 seasons can be quickly rotating and ongoing in our lives However God is drawing His corporate body together more and more AsGodrsquos people become more aligned and in synch with Him the greater theunity of movement on a corporate level In such a case the seasons inour lives slow down so that we can join His overall movement on thelarger scale The seasons of our own independence are slowing as we fitinto His overall plan of moving a mass of people through spring summerfall and winter It is a much slower change from one season to the nextand each season can last years

was not yet visible on line I knew the Lord had saved it until now

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Speak His words in His timingPosted by [ taojin ] Oct 20th 2006 - 558PM Posts to date 432

In the past couple of days the Lord taught me about ldquospeaking His words in Histimingrdquo through some daily ordinary events Here is my experience

Scene1 There was a mango fruit lying in our kitchen table for a while I wantedto eat it but I thought it was better to wait for one more day to eat it since Iconsidered that it would be ripe and sweeter the next day Then I waited and ateit the next day it truly tasted very juicy and sweet

Scene2 I realized there were some bananas lying in the kitchen table Since wedidnrsquot eat them at the right timing now they were too ripe and we missed the besttime to eat them

Scene3 I picked my son Samuel in school and drove him back home On our wayhome Samuel held the remote control of our homersquos garage door in his hands Aswe drove to a certain place in our community he wanted to press the remotecontrol to open the door of garage As I saw him do that immediately I told himthe door couldnrsquot be opened because you pressed the remote control too earlyThen I continued driving for a short while as we were near the garage door Ispoke to Samuel that now was the time for you to press it and the door would beopened for us He did as I instructed him to do and the door opened

Quickened messages There was timing for speaking my words if you spoke mywords at my timing it would produce the effects I intended At the command ofmy words the door would be opened for you and the stronghold would beremoved

Application The Lord calls us to speak His words at his timing When the Lordgave us a word and wanted us to share it we need wait upon Him to know Histiming to speak His words

ldquoThere is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heavenrdquo(Ecclesiastes 31)

ldquoHe has made everything beautiful in its timerdquo (Ecclesiastes 311)

ldquoA word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silverrdquo (Proverbs 2511)

ldquoAs the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to itwithout watering the earth and making it bud and flourish so that it yields seedfor the sower and bread for the eater so is my word that goes out from mymouth It will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire andachieve the purpose for which I sent itrdquo (Isaiah 5510-11)

ldquoThe Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue to know the word thatsustains the weary He wakens me morning by morning wakens my ear to listenlike one being taughtrdquo (Isaiah 504)

Love and Blessings Tao

CONFIRMATION Tonight I briefly listened to a preacher mention that the gate

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Beautiful in front of the Temple did not mean beautiful or attractive but actuallymeant belonging to the right hour or season Acts 31-10 NKJVNow Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer the ninthhour 2 And a certain man lame from his mothers womb was carried whom they laiddaily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful to ask alms from those whoentered the temple 3 who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple askedfor alms 4 And fixing his eyes on him with John Peter said Look at us 5 So hegave them his attention expecting to receive something from them 6 Then Petersaid Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you In the name ofJesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk 7 And he took him by the right hand andlifted him up and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength 8 So heleaping up stood and walked and entered the temple with them mdash walking leapingand praising God 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God 10 Thenthey knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the templeand they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him

NT5610NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful NT5611NT5611 horaios (ho-rah-yos) from NT5610 belonging to the right hour orseason (timely) ie (by implication) flourishing (beauteous [figuratively])KJV - beautiful (Biblesofts New Exhaustive Strongs Numbers and Concordance withExpanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary Copyright copy 1994 2003 Biblesoft Incand International Bible Translators Inc)

QUICKENED THOUGHTS This lame man had been laid daily at this gate andJesus must have passed him many times and did not heal him But at the right timePeter and John had fixed eyes (or quickened eye glances) upon the man and it washis time to be healed As I was reading the passage I noticed something that was quickened to me about aseason This whole scene took place at a gate which represents a doorway We arestarting a time when we may not have a lot of money but what we will have is theName of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to command healing In the same way that Peterreached out his hand so did Taorsquos son reach out his hand to OPEN THE DOOR The other thing is that the man in need expected to receive It was a perfect timingwhere everything lined up in synch between the need and the provision This whole scene was what inspired Peterrsquos prophesy which has always been one ofmy favorites I once did a Word Study on it and it is relates to when the season hasbeen very dry like dried up raisins and then the Lord is going to rain on His peopleand reconstitute the dried up and parched people by adding water to restore them Itis also important to note that this season follows repentance and turning our lives

around Acts 319-21 NKJVRepent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so that timesof refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord 20 and that He may sendJesus Christ who was preached to you before 21 whom heaven must receive untilthe times of restoration of all things which God has spoken by the mouth of all Hisholy prophets since the world began

Acts 318-21 NKJV Repent therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out so thattimes of refreshing (403) may come from the presence of the Lord and that Hemay send Jesus Christ who was preached to you before whom heaven mustreceive until the times of restoration (605) of all things which God has spokenby the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began

======= NT403 REFRESHING NT403 anapsuxis (an-aps-ook-sis) from NT404 properly a recovery of breathie (figuratively) revival KJV - revival

NT404 NT404 anapsucho (an-aps-oo-kho) from NT303 and NT5594 properly to cooloff ie (figuratively) relieve KJV - refresh

NT605 RESTORATION NT605 apokatastasis (ap-ok-at-as-tas-is) from NT600 reconstitution KJV - restitution

NT600 NT600 apokathistemi (ap-ok-ath-is-tay-mee) from NT575 and NT2525 toreconstitute (in health home or organization) KJV - restore (again)

Acts 319-21 AMP So repent (change your mind and purpose) turn around and return [to God] thatyour sins may be erased (blotted out wiped clean) that times of refreshing (ofrecovering from the effects of heat of reviving with fresh air) may come from thepresence of the Lord And that He may send [to you] the Christ (the Messiah)Who before was designated and appointed for you mdash even Jesus Whom heavenmust receive [and retain] until the time for the complete restoration of all thatGod spoke by the mouth of all His holy prophets for ages past [from the mostancient time in the memory of man]

I am totally convinced that season will also be a time when God hugely heals peopleand restores what they have lost in years Joel 223-25 NKJVAnd rejoice in the LORD your God For He has given you the former rain faithfully And He will cause the rain to come down for you mdash The former rain And the latterrain in the first month 24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat And the vatsshall overflow with new wine and oil 25 So I will restore to you the years that theswarming locust has eaten The crawling locust The consuming locust And thechewing locust My great army which I sent among you

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

the door

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

A GOOD EXAMPLE OF CLOCK TIMESWhen I record what I hear and see my mini voice recorder records the date andtime Sometimes when I hear and see I open my eyes and see my digital clock andthe time is quickened to me and so I speak the time into the recorder When I am typing in my rhema (anywhere from the next day to a couple weeks later)the clock times help me I do not always look them up (the Hebrew and Greeknumbers in the Strongrsquos Exhaustive concordance) but only when it is quickened forme to do so If I were to look up every number every time I hear and see it wouldbecome an exhausting labor that would become buried in details So when I remember to look them up I am drawn to look them up impelled orquickened then I do so It has been amazing through out the years to ldquolisten tordquo theclock times as to how they back up a theme of what God is saying Often betweenthe Hebrew and the Greek they reveal different perspectives of the same thoughtand bring added revelation that is helpful when needed When I hear and see ithappens throughout the night and often hours will pass between each sentence I donot remember these things in between It is all divinely orchestrated by the Lord andlooking up the clock times is instinctive HEARD In your inner ear A gold watch HEARD Obey Itrsquos instinctive CT 334 left handed a gift

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

the door

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

the door

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

TIMING

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

MY STORY OF DIVINE TIMING BLOOPER BREAD

I heard the Lord today while I was on my hands and knees scrubbing spots out of our kitchen floor

I HEARD You have impeccable timing

I wondered why He said that and waited upon Him to hear more but heard nothing A few hours latermy Sonshine said for his birthday breakfast in the morning he would really like fresh hot baked bread Ididnrsquot want to forget so we wrote it down on the message board so I would see it on my way to bedAt the time I silently prayed Lord please donrsquot let me botch this bread up he really wants this for hisbirthday

BLOOPER ONE

When it was time to go to bed I didnrsquot go past the bulletin board like I always do I went the other waythrough the kitchen Just as I was going out of the kitchen Sonshine mentioned how exciting it wasthat tomorrow was his birthday Thank You Lord for reminding me of that bread

BLOOPER TWO

I stared at the recipe of his favorite bread Huh It says one scoop of oats and two scoops of flour etcI used to have all the measuring cups inside the ingredient containers so all I had to do was scoop Ithad been so long since Irsquod made that bread I must have washed the scoops and not put them backinside Now I have to guess Oh Lord PLEASE help me not to botch up this bread

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

BLOOPER THREE

I set the timer on the bread machine for 12 hours and 10 minutes As I walked away I suddenlyrealized it would come out at 740 AM and he needed it at 640 So I re-set it for 11 hours and 10minutes Thank You Lord Please help this bread turn out OK since I had to guess on the recipe

BLOOPER FOUR

At 1 orsquo clock in the morning suddenly I am wide awake As I am lying there I am wondering if thebread machine is kneading bread

Now it is 200 and it suddenly hits me I wonder if the 11 hours and 10 minutes is when the machineis finished making the bread or starting to make bread I couldnrsquot remember and certainly didnrsquot wantto get up in the middle of the night looking for the instructions and wake up the whole house Notknowing for sure I decided that the timer was set to when the bread machine would start makingbread rather than finishing it

MIRACLE ONE

It is now almost 230 and I trudged out to the kitchen to re-set the timer I had to subtract how long ittakes to make the bread with the time left so I turned on the machine pretending to make the breadso I could see the length of the cycle It says 4 hours and ten minutes That means nothing to mesince I am not a left brained person I am creative and intuitive and practically dysfunctional in themath department especially at 230 in the morning

As I am trying to figure this out with my superb mathematics skills I glanced at the kitchen clock andstarted calculating the bread timer I figured and re figured just staring at the clock as though I didnrsquotbelieve what I was seeing I am stunned The difference is 4 hours and 10 minutes to the exact dotSo if all I do is just push start at this minute and not the fancy timer the bread would be done exactlyat 640 AM

MIRACLE TWO

The next morning the smell of fresh hot bread drifts into my room I am very rummy (I wonder why)and wander out to the kitchen Having no idea what time it is I glance at the machine and amstunned It is literally on the countdown of the very last minute

Sonshine comes wandering in all puffy eyed to the smell of fresh hot breadhellip Happy BirthdaySonshine The Lord made you some wonderful hot bread

MIRACLE THREE

The bread was delicious

WORD TO PONDER RELAX I MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE PERFECTLY

Precious you may think that you have all your ducks in a row Or you may think that you have none ofyour ducks in a row But I will teach you that it really does not matter For whether you can add divideor multiply I will always multiply perfectly what ever you dedicate to Me Have I not shown you that Iperfect that which concerns you So let Me direct your paths and you shall be delighted as I sprinkleMy good gifts along your way

For now just lighten your load and enjoy some warm manna straight out of heavenrsquos throne Even ifyou do not understand My recipes I have it all under control and all you have to do is show up whenyou smell warm manna baking

Or what man is there of you whom if his son ask bread will he give him a stone Or if he ask a fishwill he give him a serpent If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children howmuch more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him (Matt 79-11KJV)

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

So when I thought it must be about 6 minutes I thought to the Lord ldquoI have justenough time to get out of this crazy chair and walk into the kitchen and then thebuzzer will go offrdquo So I finally got up and walked to the kitchen The moment my foothit the kitchen threshold the timer buzzer went off I was just tickled how God givesme this gift If I tried to count time I could never do it But when I depend upon HimHe reminds me whenever I pray I have been playing this timer game for years andyears and He is always faithful to answer my prayer I think it is training of some sortI seem to operate more and more on timing instinct and it is just one of those gifts Hehas given me

Dan 220-21 NKJV Blessed be the name of God forever and ever For wisdom and might are His AndHe changes the times and the seasons

WORD TO PONDER WHEN THE MEAT IS READY 30309 I give yummy strong meat to My hungry children Listen to it sizzle and smell thearoma as it cooks on My fires Half way through the process I flip My Word over sothe other side can sizzle too

As you wait upon Me through the process you will see different perspectives as I turnand rotate that which I am preparing in your life Beloved one I understand it is hardto wait Trust Me that when the fulfillment of My Word is complete that you will notmiss it no matter where you are what you are doing or how slow it takes for you toget there I have everything perfectly timed in synch with your life and peculiaritiesand will deliver you and My Word exactly on time down to the last dot and tittle

Isa 5511-13 NKJV So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth It shall not return to Me void Butit shall accomplish what I please And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it12 For you shall go out with joy And be led out with peace The mountains and thehills Shall break forth into singing before you And all the trees of the field shall claptheir hands 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree And instead ofthe brier shall come up the myrtle tree And it shall be to the LORD for a name Foran everlasting sign that shall not be cut off

TIMING

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

HE SPEAKS THROUGH CLOCKS AND NUMBERS

Sandy Warner ~ ~ swauthorusanet ~ ~ wwwthequickenedwordcom

HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERSAND CLOCKS From 101 Ways God Speaks (And How toHear Him) ldquoTherefore be on the alertmdash for you donot know when the master of the house iscoming whether in the evening atmidnight at cockcrowing or in themorningmdash lest he come suddenly and findyou asleep ldquoAnd what I say to you I say toall lsquoBe on the alertrsquordquo (Mark 1335-37

NASB) The Lord often mentions timing when He speaks of seasonsyears months days hours minutes and even seconds Whenthe Lord quickens numbers sometimes they represent a period oftime Once I saw an abacus my fingers dividing four equal rowsof seven buttons each I understood that to be exactly four weeksto the very day The detail was precise and I marked it in myjournal calendar I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience withnumbers It all started the year before when he prayed ldquoLordplease come and pour out Your Spirit upon us Do anything Youwant I just want to know that it is You and not some deception ofthe enemyrdquo About the same time he noticed every time helooked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 1111 (AMand PM) This continued for several weeks Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for anappointment he looked at the clock - 1111 He said ldquoLordrdquo

Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture but determined notto look lest he select the one that suited him At the end of theday as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see whattime it was You guessed it mdash 1111 The next morning again1111 ldquoLord which scripturerdquo Finally He heard the Lord say ldquoLukerdquo This was the verse ldquoIf a son asks for bread from anyfather among you will he give him a stone Or if he asks for afish will he give him a serpent instead of a fishrdquo (Luke 1111) Atlast he understood The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him awritten guarantee that if he asked God for something he would notget a counterfeit That night as he went to bed he again glancedat the clock - 1111 PM The next day he shared this with hisleaders and after the meeting an elderrsquos wife walked into herbedroom and glanced at their clock It was 1111 That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the1111 message and when he went to bed that night he looked atthe clock mdash again it said 1111 Smiling he went to sleep Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at theback wall of the church It was 1113 which was significant to himbecause the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spiritthat morning Luke 1113 says ldquoIf you then being evil knowhow to give good gifts to your children how much more will yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Himrdquo Thatnight when he went to bed the clock said 1113 From this hewas absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lordwhich was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit The story doesnrsquot end there After I had heard about the 1111message we had a fun confirmation to the above story My sonsaid ldquoHey look Our clock says 1111rdquo I started laughing andsaid ldquoI gotta write this downrdquo My son knowing nothing about1111 asked me ldquoWhy Is that another parablerdquo (I am alwaysnoticing allegorical parables and he knows that) I said ldquoYesrdquo He wasnrsquot satisfied with that answer and was curious So I toldhim the long story about 1111rsquos When I finished he couldnrsquot runfast enough to look up Luke 1111 Shortly after that he and I started noticing 711rsquos It became sofrequent we were both wondering what it meant just like Pastor We saw 711 in our bedrooms on the TV on the microwave onhis wrist in the car on the computer 711rsquos were popping upeverywhere My son was reading the Bible through for the firsttime and the first day he read the New Testament his eyeimmediately jumped to 711 He could hardly believe his eyes ldquoIfyou then being evil know how to give good gifts to your childrenhow much more will your Father who is in heaven give goodthings to those who ask Himrdquo (Matthew 711)

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

After that the Lord started using 1111 and 711 to confirm thingsHe was sharing One in particular was that He was promising thebody of Christ an entire season of 1111rsquos YES LORD Thenone night I had a dream that many peoplersquos journals weresprinkled with 1111 on lots of pages When I woke up from thedream I heard the Lord say ldquo1111rdquo Immediately following Iglanced at my clock mdash it said 1111 Then an amazing thing happened One night in the car My sonstarted counting 10 9 8 etc I looked at the digital clock and itsaid 710 I realized what he was doing so I started at 19 18 17etc After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfectrhythm when I got to 4 I slowed and said ldquofooouuurrrthhhhrrreeerdquo and then it turned to 711 If I had not stalled outthe 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot From that day on I understood that we were in a season ofldquocountdownrdquo towards 1111-711 And of course the Lordconfirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats Right before I added this 1111 story to this section I was goingthrough my journal to find more stories or examples that I couldadd to the book When I searched I was happy to find 26 moretidbits As I sat in my car at a stop light I thanked the Lord forgiving me so many and then I was reminded that part of mypromise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body ofChrist I realized that was what I was doing collecting stories forhungry people I was feeling kind of silly and somewhat jokingly Isaid ldquoOK Lord Irsquom supposed to gather food so letrsquos gathersomerdquo As soon as I said ldquosomerdquo I glanced up through thewindshield There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocerymarket sign (He had the last Word on that one) Between digital clocks car odometers wrist watches videocamera timers VCRrsquos computers microwaves score boardsexercise bike timers signs and broken calculators mdash for all thetrouble the Lord has gone through all I can say is THIS SEASONIS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD Other than the Lord quickening clocks and numbers to crossreference with scriptures there is another way the Lord quickensnumbers to me Often when I see a vision or hear Him I willglance at the clock and note the time This is an instinctive thingprompted by the Holy Spirit though a glance of my eyes Theclock time is quickened to me and so I record it with the vision orWord Later I look up the clock time in the Greek and Hebrewnumbers from the Strongrsquos Concordance This is often awonderful confirming addition to His Word The following happens to be a literal example I saw a vision of1942 on the face of a digital clock The 42 seconds wereflashing Then I heard the Lord say ldquoCloud I AM with you

Follow Merdquo The Strongs number 1942 in the Hebrew meantlsquocalamityrsquo and in the Greek it meant a lsquocovering or veilrsquo Iunderstood the Lord was telling me He would cover me or protectme from calamity by the cloud of His Presence Since I also sawthe number 42 flashing I looked it up separately In the Hebrew itmeant lsquomy father is delightrsquo and in the Greek it meant lsquoholinessrsquo The Lord was affirming that He is holy and my delight and Hehad indeed spoken this Word of promised protection

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven

ABOUT THE NIGHT WATCH

WEBSITES SEARCH WAYS GOD SPEAKS RSS FEEDS

CONNECT RESOURCES

I was asked the following question ldquoYou wrote last week about the night watch Now you write about gettingrhema in one night I heard someone on a CD mention the night watch too Isthis all the same thing Or does night watch mean to watch over spiritually And do you dream rhema or are you so lsquoawakersquo in your spirit so that you senseit even while you are sleeping And how do you remember all to write it down the next morning or do you getup at night to do it I used to have many dreams etc while I was sleeping and I tried to rememberthem to write them down the next morning These days however I am so tiredI barely stay awake until it is bedtime But the Lord really wants to tell mesomething else I wonrsquot encounter the same night watch topic three times inapprox 1 weekrdquo

RESPONSE FROM SANDYGod speaks most at night When I hear Him speak during the night I call it the nightwatch

Ps 636 NKJVWhen I remember You on my bed I meditate on You in the night watches

Job 3314-16 NKJVFor God may speak in one way or in another Yet man does not perceive it In a dream in a vision of the night When deep sleep falls upon men Whileslumbering on their beds Then He opens the ears of men And seals theirinstruction

This is a time when all the lingering distractions from yesterday are not rememberedand the distractions of the new day are not yet recalled It is a place in the spirit andsoul and body that is at complete rest where all flesh is subdued This place can bewhere one is totally asleep or where one is just about asleep or just waking fromsleep I have had years of daily practice of going into that place and it becomeseasier through habit It has required sacrifice to keep that place of rest I am at a resting place in the Lord through practice and habit where I can enterwithout going to sleep and so it is easy to record it in my mini recorder If I am totallyworn out and go to bed crashing I dont hear Him as much I try to do what I can toget enough rest so that some of my night watch is awake and not knocked out However when I receive dreams and trances they are always asleep and then theLord Himself wakes me up right afterwards so I can record them EXAMPLES THAT GOD SPOKE AT NIGHT

Genesis 3124 NKJVBut God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night and said to him

Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Genesis 3129 NKJVIt is in my power to do you harm but the God of your father spoke to me lastnight saying Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad Numbers 2220 NKJVAnd God came to Balaam at night and said to him If the men come to callyou rise and go with them but only the word which I speak to you mdash that youshall do 1 Samuel 1516 NKJVThen Samuel said to Saul Be quiet And I will tell you what the LORD said tome last night And he said to him Speak on Acts 189 NKJVNow the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision Do not be afraid butspeak and do not keep silent

12 PRACTICAL TIPSIn 1984 when the Lord first started talking to me I found He was talking a lot and Iwas missing most of what He was saying Through out the years I have madeadjustments to be able to continue hearing from Him and not lose ground It hasbeen an uphill climb of overcoming one step at a time of making tradeoffs andadjustments according to my priority Here is what I do to keep my spiritual wellprimed to hear and see in the night watch ASKING AND SEEKING

1 Asking for help to hear and see Without Him I can do nothing (John 155)

I often ask Him to open my spiritual ears eyes and understanding I ask Himto make me spiritually tuned in and aware of the many ways He speaksbecause His world is spiritual and superimposed over our natural world UnlessI ask Him for help I miss the multidimensional life of living in His kingdom

2 Seeking and asking to send me His daily bread because that is my scriptural

promise (Matt 611)

When I donrsquot hear from the Lord every day in some way I feel deprived of whatHe promised I do whatever is necessary until we connect in a meaningful way

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

answers come

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

I have learned the secret of being a beggar (smile) I get so hungry to hearfrom Him I start pestering Him until I do When I was a child my Dad wouldcome home from work and read his newspaper I would climb into his lap andstart batting the paper until He gave me the attention I was crying out for

I dont have to beg to the Lord very often any more but I have discovered thatwhen there is extra prayer needed I am always rewarded extra good when the

RECORDING AND KEEPING

3 Praying for help to record what I hear He promise is to bring what He has saidinto remembrance (John 1426)

I think God has a marvelous sense of humor and is very patient Sometimesmy mind is wandering after I have heard something and all of a sudden I willhear a door bell ring a knock or the phone ring or the phone busy signal Sometimes I will hear the same thing over and over again until I suddenlyrealize God is still talking to me Sometimes I will get a picture of me writingsomething I have heard down One time I even heard the beep in my minimicrophone and I laughed and apologized to the Lord for wandering when Hewas talking In all of these He was reminding me to record what He wassaying

4 Using a mini voice recorder After recording then later I harvest the rhema of

what I heard and see and type it into the computer He tells us to write thevision and make it plain (Hab 22)

For a few early years I had a pen light and wrote in notebooks underneath thecovers so I wouldnrsquot disturb my husband It finally became very hard to lay onone side to write and not toss and turn when he was trying to sleep He hadstrange night shift working hours and we both snored (smile) I graduallymoved into the guest bedroom for half nights to spend time with the Lord Nowwe sleep comfortably in different bedrooms and have actually done this for mostof our married life

5 Being faithful with what He gives me so I will receive more (Matt 2521)

If I have not used honored appreciated or kept what He has given to me whyshould He give me more The physical spiritual and emotional part ofldquokeepingrdquo His Word takes every part of me to not let go And I am faithful withwhat He gives me He will build upon my portion and continue to give memore

Luke 815 NKJVBut the ones that fell on the good ground are those who having heard theword with a noble and good heart KEEP it and bear fruit with patience

OVERCOMING OBSTACLES

6 Binding the demonic from stealing my hearing and seeing and doing as much

warfare as needed to keep them at bay (Matt 1818)

At first He allowed the opposition because He was teaching me how to use my

weapons of war to overcome and climb the hill of the Lord (Ps 243) Thenlater after I started breaking through regularly things changed and I learnedthat one of the most powerful weapons of war is obedience to scripture When Iwas not obedient to His Word during the day it opened demonic portholes atnight and I would get slimed I still used my weapons but I had to work harderand longer and grow hungry all a part of the discipline of the Lord Obedienceis a matter of growing levels of maturity and suddenly seeing things in the Wordwhere onersquos heart or behavior does not reflect His image

7 Guarding my eye and ear gates from carnal television media The eye is the

gateway to my body If I open myself to darkness how great is that darkness (Matt 62223)

For me this has been one of the hardest lessons to learn The Lord has beenrelentless with me through a balance of drawing me to Him and also negativefeedback about my choices until I have finally become so desperate that I allowmy flesh to die so He can live and be my fountain of life The closer I draw toHim the more His holy fire burns One day I will have what I want from Himand when that happens I know my flesh is finally on the cross

8 Guarding my heart and level of fellowship when I am with unbelievers and not

being unequally yoked as much as possible I guard my heart with all diligencefor out of it are the well springs of life (Prov 423 2 Cor 614)

I have found through out the years especially in business relationships that inmy loving nature I would open myself up to soul ties or soul bonds of friendshipwith people simply by spending time talking I discovered that these ties wereopening up doors to their demons and I was having to overcome their snares It was a real eye opener when I started to understand this and how it wasaffecting my intimacy with the Lord When we join in alliances with others for acommon purpose we need to be wise about who we are joining with and notbecome snared by their idols lifestyle or carnality

9 Avoiding any medications that cause me to have a slumbering spirit and be too

sleepy to hear and record (Gal 520 Rev 1823)

The root word that we get the name pharmacy comes from a Greek word thatmeans medication sorcery or witchcraft There are some medications that arewide open doors to the demonic world

FINDING REST AND PEACE

10 Taking naps when needed in order to spend night hours in silence with Him

(Matt 1128)

I dont do this often but I have noticed that when I take a nap for the express

purpose to hear Him I do often get rewarded I have found that it is helpful tobe rested in body soul and spirit so that I can come into that secret place withHim

11 Going to bed when I need to press into Him during the day about something

specific

There have been times in my life where I am up working and feel so distraughtover something that I stop and go to bed just to hear Him and find peace Sometimes I am only in bed 5 minutes and then I pop out again very rested andmy soul is at peace after having prayed it through Sometimes I do thisnumerous times a day when I am desperate and need to hear Him Scripturetells us that He exalted His Word even above His Name I have found that I amfainting in body soul and spirit unless I daily hear His Word in some way oranother

12 Avoiding caffeine and anything that alters my natural sleep needs The Lord

leads me beside His still waters to restore my soul (Ps 23)

Caffeine is something that I am sensitive to and it affects my ability to rest andnot feel driven
