[rhema] 3/13/12
For several days now I have been struggle with an inner battle which is somewhat of a long story. However it is suffice to say that it has consumed my thoughts and I have felt joy leave and self doubt creep in.
Tonight, I attended our Ministry Team meeting with a heavy heart. After the meeting, we spent time just worshiping and praising the Lord. We could really feel the anointing washing over us. As we did we simply waited on Him to see if there was anything the Lord wanted to say to us.
SAW: A white fence with a question mark over it.
HEARD: Are you going to allow this fence to be an obstacle or a hurdle?
[Well, Lord I really had not planned on bringing this up tonight but since You did I guess I will.]
Knowing what the Lord was referring to, I began describing to the team what I saw. As I did, I inadvertently described the fence as a hurdle. Hum, interesting, for several days now I had allowed this fence to be an obstacle but now as I describe it, without even thinking about my choice of words, it's a hurdle. None the less, as badly as I wanted to verbalize this struggle (put a name on the hurdle) I couldn't. I tried several times as my incredible ministry partners waited. But could not get it out. I knew that the Lord wanted me to bring it up, but I also knew that this was not the forum to divulge all. Here is the thing about being friends with prophetic people, they simply receive from the Lord, you don't really have to say a whole lot, smile. They began prophesying over me and their words were so beautiful and so on target. Then perceiving my struggle, they then started declaring the good things they saw in me, over me. Wow! I really was not seeking such a blessing, but that was exactly what I needed. I needed to here the adjectives the Lord would use to describe me to overpower the adjectives that I had been thinking of myself. In fact, their beautiful words of truth and light made what I was feeling all the more dark and shameful. And this separation of light and dark was vast. I could literally feel the darkness scurrying away. I left that meeting feeling different as healing and restoration from the matter had taken place.
After our ministry time,
HEARD: She just got splattered with peanut butter and jelly.
[Okay, Lord... I have no idea about this one. Peanut butter and jelly?]
As I ponder this Word, "Peanut butter and Jelly". I am thinking about the sweet nature of jelly and the protein and energy (life) giving nature of peanut butter. Yes, I was washed with the Lord's sweet life giving Words which broke the yoke of the burden I had been carrying.
"It shall come to pass in that day
That his burden will be taken away from your shoulder,
And his yoke from your neck,
And the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil."(Isaiah 10:27)

RHEMA 4/28/08 SPECIAL WORDS? MY ANOINTING BREAKS THE YOKE 4/28/08
QUICKENED THOUGHTS: I was thinking that reminds me that Mahesh says that when the anointing of the Lord shows up, you can say peanut butter and jelly and people are set free.
