RHEMA 9/10/09 TIME IS UP

EXPERIENCE: I sobbed in prayer last night. I could no longer deal with an issue I had prayed over for 15 years and I begged and begged that the Lord to deliver me and bring resolution.

REOCCURRING VISION: I continued to see a round peg and a square hole many times last night.



HEARD: My purposes for you are unique.

HEARD: Settle her. Tell her, extreme discipline. The weight of the burden. Too close. You need more room.

HEARD: My heart aches for them. Their sufferings. A work in progress.

HEARD: Settled. I have granted your request. I will set you free. Abasement. You’re entitled.

HEARD: Curtain.
PIX: I saw the sweeping back of some curtains to let the light in. I sensed these were in a hospital birthing room.

HEARD: I have prepared you. Advancement. Clock.

PIX: I saw the huge grandfather clock in the hospital lobby that my grandson pointed out when we were visiting his new born cousin in the hospital.

A couple days ago when we were in the lobby looking at the clock it was very quickened to me as important and so I noted that the time was a few minutes to 8 PM.

WORD TO PONDER: TIME IS UP 9/10/09
Dear ones, there are burdens you have carried for over a decade and the weight of such has grown overpowering to your soul. Great has been the labor and travail of your soul. You have done everything you can do to make a difference that these burdens would find resolution. I have groaned over your sufferings, dear ones. My heart has ached for you.

It is time to let these go once and for all. Heave the burdens into My care and let Me carry them. I will answer your prayers to be delivered from places where you have not found a settling place. I AM granting your requests to set you free. You have humbled yourself, complied and been obedient to the best of your ability. Now let go, let go, let go and find release towards your new beginning.

Ps 55:21 NKJV
Cast your burden on the LORD, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

THE MYSTERY OF BUTTONS 1/08/10
I remember as a child climbing the huge staircase at my great grandparent’s home and finding my way into my great grandmother’s sewing room. It was so tiny, probably like a small walk-in closet today. She had organized drawers of nifty things. My favorite drawer was her button drawer. I loved to run my fingers through them and touch them.

Now that I am a Grammy and recently organized my sewing drawers, I suddenly had a download of what those buttons meant to my Great Grandma. It takes years and years and years to collect that many buttons that come off old discarded garments and new sewing projects. It is usually not until one becomes a Grammy that one receives the promotion of so many buttons!

In our spiritual language, what do buttons represent? Buttons are like an anchor, something to hold onto. But what? Somehow the “power” of a button closes the breach between two pieces of garments. It is a potent mystery. Does the hole in the garment grab on to the button? Does the button grab onto the nothingness in the hole? How then, do the two connect?

I have often been in difficult places where I have felt like a round peg in a square hole. I have even had a vision of my being there. And I, like the rest of those round peg/ square holed people, say the same thing. “Lord, I don’t fit here!”

It is when I think back on the mystery of the button that I finally understand. Any seamstress knows how to make a button hole. You sew a short skinny rectangle the length of the button and then cut a slit down its middle. This is the parable of the round button in a square hole. It is exactly the differences between the two shapes that allows them to connect and hold together.

So if you feel like you are a round peg stuck in a square hole, remember that God has a purpose for you right where you are. You are the spiritual anchor that is standing in the gap, uniting what is divided into one.

Ezek 22:30 AMP
And I sought a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.

perets
OT:6556 perets (peh'-rets); from OT:6555; a break (literally or figuratively):
KJV - breach, breaking forth (in), forth, gap.

INTO REMEMBRANCE: I was drawn to look up the night I saw the re-occurring vision of the round peg and the square hole. (In the above post) I was very surprised to read it in hinds-sight. Four days after that vision I was released from a very long intercession. Sometimes letting go is extreme sacrifice. It can be heart wrenching. But if it is the right thing to do, God will fill the gap - maybe with a square peg that has been waiting to find its niche.

Now as I ponder that time, I look back at the treasures filling my memory box of beautiful sacrificial buttons. Some of these buttons will never be used again on earth. Yet I know in heaven, each one of those buttons are real jewels. God remembers our tears, our prayers and stretching times when we held on until we were ripping apart inside between the tension of two poles. He never forgets and He always rewards.

Josh 4:7 NKJV
And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.
