PROPHESYING THANKSGIVING PARABLES
I gave an assignment to the class where we were to learn how to prophesy Parables. Here is the link to the Lesson:

PARABLE: TURKEY IN THE BAG
I always cook my turkey in a bag. I put the turkey in the bag and then into the oven it goes. In the bag gives much, much more gravy and the meat is tender and moist and falls off the bone. Cooking in the bag takes a few hours off cooking so I don’t have to get up in the dark to put the turkey in the oven!

Cooking in a bag reminds me of the scripture in Psa. 139 where He has beset us. The Hebrew word for beset means to be enclosed in a bag.

Ps 139:5 KJV
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

Ps 139:5 AMP
You have beset me and shut me in — behind and before, and You have laid Your hand upon me.

WORD TO PONDER: IN THE FIRE FOR A PURPOSE 11/23/09
Just like turkey in the oven, I completely enclosed you within My Presence. I warm you, comfort you, even cook you until you are tender. You are very safe and protected. Nothing touches you without My permission and in whatever fires that you find yourself, always remember that I AM the One Who sets the dial.

Isa 54:16-17 NKJV
"Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy. 17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me," Says the LORD.

Ps 139:5 AMP
You have beset me and shut me in — behind and before, and You have laid Your hand upon me.

PARABLE: STUFFING
I use my family recipe for cornbread stuffing and it is a more sweet kind of stuffing. People really enjoy it because it is unusual.

It has sweet cornbread, seasoned croutons, butter, eggs, onions, celery and some salt. I prepare the dry ingredients and put them together and the wet ingredients I put in a different bowl, and both in the fridge. I do this the day before and then put on rubber gloves early the next morning and stuff and pack and press it inside until there is simply no more room at all.

The Lord once told me that I had stuffed and stuffed years and years of emotions inside and I could not hold another one. I needed to talk and share what I was holding on to with someone, until I could find some relief. Whenever I think of stuffing that turkey until it will hold no more, I think of that time in my life.

Scripture tells us to bear one another's burdens and I learned about that during that season.

Gal 6:2 NKJV
Bear one another's burdens , and so fulfill the law of Christ.

WORD TO PONDER: HOT STUFFING 11/23/09
Beloved one, when you stuff your emotions, it like being in an environment that cooks hotter and hotter. This can eventually cause hidden anger, unforgiveness and finally bitterness. Find a friend to share your burdens with. Come together in agreement and prayer so that you may conquer these things that you have carried for so long. I want you free from things that grip your soul. Always pray over everything and learn to share your burdens.

Gal 6:2 NKJV
Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

PARABLE: POTATOES
Mashed potatoes. For years when we have had family gatherings at other people's houses, I was always the one who brought the mashed potatoes. I always had to buy at least 2-3 more potatoes than necessary because my husband always insisted that he peel them. He wanted every eye, every dot of brown totally off and out so the potato was pristine and white. He was not happy to have them cut out, rather he always peeled his potatoes one or 2 layers deeper so the potato is MUCH smaller than when it started. Thus, he peels 2-3 more potatoes so my pot is full by the time he is done. (Smile) Now I have handed the potato detail down to my son, and he brings mashed potatoes to family gatherings! ahhhhhhhhhhh relief.

Potatoes have many eyes and they grow hidden underground. They are spiritual parables of growing in the Lord, hidden and bearing fruit. And the eyes on the potatoes are like the anointing of the 7 eyes and 7 Spirits of God:

Rev 5:6
...stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

These 7 spirits are:
Isa 11:2
The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.

WORD TO PONDER: SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD 11/23/09
There is coming a time of maturity when My elect will have grown into the full maturity of My Son Christ Jesus. These hidden ones, have been growing, gone through the fires and passed their tests. Their character will have developed, their obedience will be honed and they will only say and do what they see and hear from Me. All of earth groans for the fullness of adoption of these My children. They will carry My same anointing of the seven Spirits of God and do the greater works.

Isa 11:1-2 NKJV
There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.

Eph 3:19 NKJV
To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

PARABLE: HOT CIDER
I love to put on a big crock pot of apple cider when we have family gatherings. I add cinnamon sticks, whole cloves and sliced oranges and sliced lemons. It simmers all day and the house smells out of this world. When everyone goes home, I pour what is left and put it into the fridge. It is excellent cold. Sometimes I reheat a cup in the microwave and sip on it all morning.

The smell reminds me of Song of Solomon

Song 4:16
Awake, O north wind, And come, O south! Blow upon my garden, That its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come to his garden And eat its pleasant fruits.

Song 5:13
His cheeks are like a bed of spices...

Song 4:10
How much better than wine is your love, And the scent of your perfumes than all spices!

WORD TO PONDER: HEAVENLY SPICES 11/23/09
Warm and inviting, so fragrant are you, My love. Your spices permeate your whole house and I love to live with you. Thank you for inviting Me into your life and giving Me the fullest pleasure of supping with you, whom I adore.

Rev 3:20-21 NKJV
Behold, I stand at the door and knock . If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

Song 4:16
Awake, O north wind, And come, O south! Blow upon my garden, That its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come to his garden And eat its pleasant fruits.
