Follow Me Into Joy
Sandy Warner
Nov 29, 2004
My dearest wife, My bride, how I have longed to hold you and embrace you as My own. I know your cares, I know your fears, I know your struggles and your uphill journey to overcome. The road has only become steeper in time and more narrow. Yes, I know your failings. I understand your pain and your many tears. Did you think I would come to you to scold you?
Do you really want to quit and give up? Never. As you come to the end of your rope in so many battles, I only ask that you totally lean all your weight upon Me. Let Me carry you to your goal. Allow Me access to put the pieces of your life back together again and I will sustain you in My peace. Resist meddling in My will and bring all things to Me in prayer. I will bring you the answers you need and help you resolve issues for which you have no answers. I will help you soar above it all, and come safely to your destination, being rooted deeply in My love for you.
You have been asleep in your understanding of My earnest love for you and My desires over you. I have earnestly waited for you and am searching you out from the places in which you are hiding. Did you think you could hide from Me, My dear one? You have known tears, but I want to teach you to laugh. There will come a day when you shall throw your head back and belly laugh with Me! Impossible? Not in My vocabulary. Why don't you follow Me into a journey of new beginnings and I will take you there? I will replace all your shame and your sorrow and give you double portion joy.
Ps 56:8-13 TLB
You have seen me tossing and turning through the night. You have collected all my tears and preserved them in your bottle! You have recorded every one in your book. The very day I call for help, the tide of battle turns. My enemies flee! This one thing I know: God is for me! I am trusting God-oh, praise his promises! I am not afraid of anything mere man can do to me! Yes, praise his promises. I will surely do what I have promised, Lord, and thank you for your help. For you have saved me from death and my feet from slipping, so that I can walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
Isa 61:7 NLT
Instead of shame and dishonor, you will inherit a double portion of prosperity and everlasting joy.

Having Turned A Corner

Dec 8, 2004
Having just turned a corner in your life, you shall soon discover that you can see a great distance into your future. I have expanded your horizons and given you the expanse. Now call upon Me to open your eyes. New vision is coming!
It is My will and way, in every way, that you grow up into maturity. I AM connecting you for a another, yet deeper plan. I AM going to touch some sensitive areas in your life. We shall work together to break the bondages that have held you back from coming into the full measure of your inheritance. In the process, I AM going to make you holy bold. This shall be hair curlin', call-it-like-it-is speech. Wanna come? Let's go.
Till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Chris. (Eph 4:13-14 NKJV)

Prayer Warriors Grafted With Leaders
Sandy Warner
Dec 6, 2004
I AM issuing a holy work by appointing prayer warriors and grafting them together with leaders. I will bond and connect them together for the breakthroughs they need. United together they will make beautiful bread. This is a good work and I shall perform it. It is My good pleasure, My holy work on earth.
I must touch these united ones with My passion before I release My touch on earth through their prayers. I will plant in their hearts a deep yearning to uphold and lift in prayer that which I am birthing. Always on guard, to protect nations within their womb, these, My prayer partners, are united as an altar of sacrifice. Come forth and bring to birth that which I have planted deeply within.
1 Tim 2:1-2 NKJV
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority.

On The Wings Of Prayer
Sandy Warner
Dec 10, 2004
Beloved, I am teaching you the power of unity as you join with others in prayer. I shall greatly multiply your efforts as you battle, declare and stand for My will and freedom upon earth, even as it is declared in heaven. Bring forth your good fight and I will provide you a safe canopy to ride higher and higher upon the wings of prayer. These wings will take you above the oppression and resistance. Stand, bind, rebuke, declare and move forward as I lift you up and out upon the wings of prayer. Multiplied, multiplied, multiplied for good measure, all over the world your prayers are moving others forward.
2 Cor 10:3-6 NKJV
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

Transparent Pain

TRANSPARENT PAIN
What does it mean to show my face
When my heart is veiled with disgrace?
For every day I fall short of You
Striving to live my life brand new.
In sobering thought I face my shame
There is no one else that I can blame.
Why is it like this, when Your love is so pure?
I know that I am favored, with Your grace assured.
This shame is lurking beneath its cover
I want it gone, I want it over.
How can I be free to walk in destiny
When the chain of shame keeps me in pain?
As I cry out for certain deliverance
Your Word is my freedom and recompense.
You told me confession is good for the soul.
As I bare my heart, You will make me whole.
So be free oh soul to unload your pain
Receive His great grace and you won't be the same.
At last when I release this burden of silence
Tormenting self thoughts are no longer violent
From striking myself with flagellating whips
In self condemnation leaving my heart ripped.
Let me release the shame and be set free
As I trust in You for my dignity.
It is not in myself to win this race
It is merely my desire to see Your face
To know Your heart, to know Your ways.
It is in Your love that I stand amazed.
Not my will but Thine be done
As I yield my heart that we may be one.
James 5:16 KJV
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

"Another SIGN TODAY FOR ISRAEL AND ALL ISRAEL'S DESCENDENTS!"

God loves signs!
He loves signs (and wonders) so much that He not only talks about them a lot -- but He DOES them a lot.
Just get out your Bible concordance and look up the words "signs," "wonders," or "signs and wonders."
Let's just say there are a LOT of references, yes?
God has eternity to think up and create new signs and wonders...and yet, with the millions of signs we see all the time, those signs are but a few of the sum total of the signs and wonders He has made or we have yet to see.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE WINTER SOLSTICE
Personally, since we just hit WINTER today (some call it Winter Solstice), December 21, 2004, in the Northern Hemisphere (and Summer in the Southern Hemisphere), we just entered into the fulfillment of yet another one of what I believe to be one of God's FAVORITE SIGNS.
God waited only four full days into creation to create this sign:
Genesis 1:14-16
14 "And God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.' And it was so.
16 God made two great lights — the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars." (NIV)
Now, since the sun became responsible for our seasons, God then connects the Sun and its seasons with Israel itself (and you and and I can grab hold of this assurance as well, and these promises -- just as they were given to Israel and ALL his relatives)...
Jeremiah 31:35-37
35 "This is what the LORD says, HE who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar — the LORD Almighty is his name: 36
[QX: Of course, as Scriptures indicate, fools tend to ignore and/or disbelieve The God of Truth and His Scriptures.] 37 This is what the LORD says:
"'Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done,'
declares the LORD." (NIV)
Go figure!
GOD WILL NOT REJECT ISRAEL OR HIS DESCENDANTS
God made the seasons from Creation onward...and yet He used those same seasons to be a sign that He would not, indeed He chose by His will, that He COULD not reject Israel from being a nation before HIM, nor could He or would He reject ALL of Israel's descendents -- even though HE knew of the evil Israel and His descendents had done.
Now, let me say it again this way -- lest the Church forget -- notice verse 36 above.
Not only is Israel blessed -- but ALL of Israel's descendents would not cease to be a "nation" before God. Now, just to be clear, two of Israel's sons were Ishmael and Isaac. They get to be NOT FORGOTTEN BEFORE GOD AND ALL OF HEAVEN!
Today, we see the World Church, of which I'm a life member, blessing Israel, while simultaneously choosing not to bless Israel's children...that is, Israel's OTHER descendents.
But we must bless ALL of Israel's children.
What does that mean?
BLESSING ALL THE DESCENDANTS OF ISRAEL
Well, as an analogy...in America, we lock up the bad guys, and hopefully bless all the rest. (Of course, Jesus "upped the ante" and said we should even bless our enemies -- which means we should even pray FOR Bi*n Laden; but he must be punished, of course.)
So, at this time, we are trying, in this war on terrorism, in America -- to take care of the "bad guys," while at the same time blessing ALL of Israel's descendents. That is, we bless both the Jewish people and also we bless the children of Ishmael as well, plus the other descendents of Israel -- all of them.
This all occurred to me last night.
Another prophetic person and I were talking about the evil that happens on the Winter Solstice by those who practice the magic arts. My response was, "That occult stuff must be a counterfeit to something real!" What did God intend the season changes to symbolize? (For instance, seasonal changes such as is happening today.) And what is the enemy stealing through his evil occult practices that are done on Summer and Winter Solstices?
The Lord then led me to HIS GREAT and PRECIOUS PROMISES for ISRAEL and "ALL THE DESCENDENTS OF ISRAEL."
WHY BLESS ON THE WINTER SOLSTICE?
So, rather than curse the darkness that often takes place on this day (some of you might even be feeling the evil that takes place on Winter Solstice because you are that spiritually sensitive)... why not come against these occult practices done on Winter Solstice in the opposite spirit by BLESSING ALL THE DESCENDENTS OF ISRAEL.
In this, you will please the Lord, I believe, and demonstrate your faith in HIS WORD.
And after all, wasn't it Jesus Who asked, "However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8)
Jeremiah 31:35-37
35 "This is what the LORD says, HE who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar — the LORD Almighty is his name:
36 "Only if these decrees vanish from my sight," declares the LORD," will the descendants of Israel ever cease to be a nation before me."
37 This is what the LORD says:
"'Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done,'
declares the LORD." (NIV)
