Europe

We will soon be leaving for Europe. Thank you so much for the generous financial gifts that have covered my ticket. We still need funds for traveling, trains, hotels, etc. I know the Lord that has provided this far will provide the rest. Also your prayers are so important. It makes a big difference. We leave July 31^st and will return August 28^th. We are going to Paris, Vichy, Rome, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Italy and Istanbul, Turkey. Please for pray for the Lord’s guidance for the battles and His love released in the ministry times.

 

Dallas Area

Thank you for your prayers for the trip to Dallas. We had some wonderful meetings and met some great people, that I feel will be forever friends. We had some battles but didn’t talk about them; we just did what the Lord said and went on. But I know we stopped some dangerous things in downtown Dallas. I really believe it would have been an earthquake. We were also able to pray over the new property of The Abby Church, in the Azle area, and that was a blessing.

 

A Word – Dangerous Tears

The Lord gave me a word to share with you this morning and I think it could change your life. In the vision of the Lord I was before the throne of God at the altar. God had our tears in a bottle. Psalm 56:8 You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book? They were tears of worship, love, adoration and sacrifices that cost us deeply, treasures for God. 

 

Then I began to see a dark pool with drops falling into it. “Is that the Blood?” I asked “No.” the Lord answered. “Is it tears?” I asked.

 

“Yes. Your tears of love, deep emotions and sacrifice, I keep as a powerful treasure. Where do the other tears and strong emotions go?” He asked.  “Just like I collect your good tears and love of God emotions, someone else gathers and holds the others as an avenue of access, accusations and power against you.  It’s the Devil.”

 

That was a lot to fathom. But I knew intense emotions could accumulate and cause much damage. You will remember the people I’ve prayed with that had inherited trauma, and the damage physically and emotionally that trauma caused and also the access it gave to the enemy against them. Also if you have my Redeeming the Land Booklet, you will remember the story in there of the rooms where people suffered, or were terribly afraid, and how those emotions were still there and had to be removed by soaking those rooms in the word of God. Otherwise they affected people that went into those rooms with those accumulated emotions. Yes, I guess the Devil would be interested in accumulating our tears and strong emotions to use against us. But he can only accumulate wrong tears and emotions.

 

Then the Lord said, “I want you to go, in Christ, and retrieve them. Then offer them on the altar to Me.” I could only go inside of Christ, but if I can do this so can you. Read this word with that perspective, because the Lord wanted me to share this with you for a reason. To go in Christ you simply state that is what you are doing by the Blood of Jesus Christ.

 

Like a flash we were somewhere else. It looked like a cave of sorts. It had a small drippy pool of something. Every wrong emotion, anger, fear was there, but especially tears. It was a place of broken dreams, lost hope, missed expectations, tears of self-pity, despair, and hopelessness. We bagged it quietly. Then I realized there were many God accusations in those tears of, ‘God why didn’t you….’ And ‘why did you allow this…’ I was ashamed of that and repented of it. Because no matter what I go through or why, God is good and that never changes.

 

I saw a shiny stone off to the left on the floor and was going to ignore it and leave it. The stone sounded like someone crying. But the Lord told me to take it, so I threw it quickly in the bag. Then in a flash, we went back to the altar of God and poured it all out on the altar. But there was no fire.

 

To my surprise a shiny, skeletal like, tarry thing stood on the altar, like a sinewy warrior. “You shouldn’t have taken the stone.” He taunted. “It gives me power to exist against you.” The stone was shining in his dark chest.

 

“Oh this stone?” I said reaching over and pulling it out of his chest. The tarry substance crumpled into little lifeless bits on the altar. Then the fire of God came to consume it. The stone was still weeping and whining. What is this stone that it empowers past tears and emotions against me?

 

I was really asking myself the question, but the Lord answered. “It is self-pity and self-focus. It is not yours. It was used to move you and push you. Throw it in the fire now and it will burn up.” So I threw it in and it was consumed. What an awful thing it was that the enemy could use it to push our emotions so mercilessly, literally to move us. Psalm 16:8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be move.

 

I prayed, “Lord from eternity past until this day, I give you all my tears, my hurt, disappointments, broken dreams and wrong emotions. I repent of and rebuke self-pity and self-focus, all hopelessness, and wrong accumulated tears and emotions. Burn me clean and do not allow these things to move me. I wipe the slate of tears and emotions clean by the Blood of Jesus Christ. Help me know the difference in God tears and dangerous tears and emotions. I give them both to you. Neither of them are for me to keep. I shut every access the enemy gained through these tears and remove every bad and harmful thing that came with it, in Jesus name. Amen. You can pray this as well. I suggest that you do.

 

Then Jesus took me to a pool of water under the throne of God area. It is the pool of Jesus’ life, so I could sink into it and be restored. Let’s soak into His life and live. Sometimes in our hectic days we need to just put on some ‘in His presence music’ and soak in Him. Proclaim out loud that is what you are doing. Then He shared this little story.

 

In His Hand

On top of the mountain, on the highest peaks, covered with snow, stood a big white shaggy mountain goat. As the snow fell, he looked out over the land and said, “I am king. I rule. I will never leave this strategic place that gives me power over all.” It was of course a delusion. No one even saw him, let alone recognized him as ruler. In such a spot with no food and water, he will starve, or freeze and die.

 

But in the valley far bellow was a small white wooly lamb, calmly eating grass. “Who are you?” I asked.

 

“I am the least of all.” He said joyfully.

 

“What’s so great about that?” I asked.

 

“The least is protected and provided for, if he submits. I live in a valley called the Hand of God. Many leave here to seek self-importance, I did once, but by His grace I returned and became small again. Small in my own eyes, is a protected place.” His eyes looked old and wise for such a small lamb.

 

“Where He leads me I will follow. I go nowhere and do nothing without Him.” He said. “So that means I am always with Him and with Him I am safe. I had a lot of valuable wool, which I thought made me valuable. It was hot. I call it fluff now. It was freeing to let Him have it, though I didn’t realize it would be so freeing when I gave it. Now that my personal value is in Jesus Christ, I am safe, for where my treasure is there will my heart be also. With my heart in Christ I am blessed and protected.”

 

The wise little lamb looked at me again. “Your wool burned on you.” He said sadly. “That had to hurt. If you keep it cut and submitted to Jesus, you will never have to endure the pain of the conflict of two values. The enemy can only burn what has not been given to the Lord.”

 

He bowed his head for another bite of the shortest grass I had ever seen. “You’re tired aren’t you?” the little lamb asked. “The grass looks too short to eat doesn’t it? How could you ever gain strength from that? Why do you think such things? What God supplies doesn’t have to ‘look’ like enough to be enough does it?”

 

In truth he looked healthy and strong. It was a good example of trusting the Lord beyond the obvious. “Where is Jesus?” I asked remembering that the little lamb said he was always with Jesus, but I didn’t see Him anywhere. The lamb began to laugh and far below us I heard someone else laughing as well.

 

“You’re in the hallow of His hand.” The little lamb said. “He may not seem near to you but He is always much closer than we think or feel. We just need to know it and believe it.”

 

Then Jesus spoke. “I have prepared a place for you. Don’t wait until you die to find it.” Amen.

 

Conclusion

 Let’s take our past tears and emotions out of the enemy’s camp. I don’t want to leave them there for the enemy to use against me, do you? Let’s put them on the altar as an offering to the Lord, along with any possible self-pity or self-focus rocks we may have. Let’s give the Lord our value and find the Hallow of Hand. It’s safe there.

 

I love you and pray this has blessed you and that at the altar you have found a place of release and restoration. Thank you again for your prayer and support. I love to hear from you.
