Vaccuming the floor thinking about all of the lovely flags displayed at our place of family dinner.
It's such a wonderful display of God's love for every single person who walks through that door to sup with us!
I was pondering how it is when a new guest comes.
How do they feel?
What if its their first time?
Was the food tastey?
Was the dishes set to their liking?
Then I specifically heard the Lord tell me:
Go down to the potter's house and I will INSTRUCT YOU of my ways.
Im like: 'ok.'
I grab my computer and look for where that is in scripture.
THE POTTER AND THE CLAY
Jeremiah 18:2
The Voice (VOICE)
Now God’s message comes through another prophetic drama played out in a potter’s shop somewhere in the city. The prophet sees an ordinary event but receives an extraordinary message.
Eternal One:2 Go down to the potter’s shop in the city, and wait for My word.
I SAW METICULOUS POTS.
One's that looked like they took years to form and sculpt and make.
I saw the hands that had created them
I saw the KILN that had heated them
and then I saw another pot.
still on the wheel.
Eternal One:2 Go down to the potter’s shop in the city, and wait for My word.
3 So I went down to the potter’s shop and found him making something on his wheel. 4 Andas I watched, the clay vessel in his hands became flawed and unusable. So the potter started again with the same clay. He crushed and squeezed and shaped it into another vessel that was to his liking. 5 In that moment, I heard again God’s word for His rebellious people.
Eternal One:6 O people of Israel, can I not do the same to you as this potter has done? You are like clay in My hands—I will mold you as I see fit.7 If I declare that I am going to uproot, stamp out, or destroy a nation or kingdom because of its wicked ways, and 8 then that same nation I warned turns away from its evil, then I will change My plans. In My compassion, I will not destroy it. 9 If at some other time I declare that I am going to build up and establish a nation, 10 but then it ignores My voice, thus committing evil right in front of Me, I will hold back the good I had planned for them.
This pot was marred in the hand of the potter.
It didn't look anything like the others.
It didnt bear the signature of the ORIGINAL DESIGN.
The author coudn't sign it because it was unfinished.
With flaws that couldn't be taken out at that point.
Not without breaking it.
Once again, I read the words:
18 1-2 God told Jeremiah, “Up on your feet! Go to the potter’s house. When you get there, I’ll tell you what I have to say.”
3-4 So I went to the potter’s house, and sure enough, the potter was there, working away at his wheel. Whenever the pot the potter was working on turned out badly, as sometimes happens when you are working with clay, the potter would simply start over and use the same clay to make another pot.
5-10 Then God’s Message came to me: “Can’t I do just as this potter does, people of Israel?”God’s Decree! “Watch this potter. In the same way that this potter works his clay, I work on you, people of Israel. At any moment I may decide to pull up a people or a country by the roots and get rid of them. But if they repent of their wicked lives, I will think twice and start over with them. At another time I might decide to plant a people or country, but if they don’t cooperate and won’t listen to me, I will think again and give up on the plans I had for them.
I SAW: INTERCESSOR:
SAID:
start again.
The plans for this design turned out poorly.
It didn't look like the design of the Master Artist.
THE MESSAGE
Ezekiel 22:30
30-31 “I looked for someone to stand up for me against all this, to repair the defenses of the city, to take a stand for me and stand in the gap to protect this land so I wouldn’t have to destroy it. I couldn’t find anyone. Not one. So I’ll empty out my wrath on them, burn them to a crisp with my hot anger, serve them with the consequences of all they’ve done. Decree of God, the Master.”
We will take the same exact clay and start again.
It's in need God's vision.
What He designed for their best result.
WITHOUT A VISION the people perish.
It's all there.
Owner's manual
Will wait and watch and see what He will say to me.
Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. James 5:7-8
Then I was thinking about a field that God said was under cultivation.
It was good seed being planted there.
Some of the seed still carried residue from the land it came from, but it was good seed notheless.
it would adjust if given time.
Soil is really good.
Enough water so there is no drought.
ADJUSTMENTS NEEDED
Then I saw the EYES OF A LITTLE GIRL LOOKING UP AT ME.
she was asking me.
Without words.
I saw her.
Every child was standing there.
From AFRICA
FROM INDIA
FROM MEXICO
RUSSIA
ISRAEL
CHINA
KOREA
I began to weep.
Who will?
But I can't
I dont work in the kitchen sweetheart
I am so very sorry
So I take my own and give it to her
Because I dont know what else to do
I will sit with you.
I will not leave you alone.
Don't be frightened. I know its all new.
God brought you here for a reason.
You are safe here.
Watch and learn.
His ways always bring all the kids home.
Plus my dad will make room for you.
I promise!
He made this table from the design HIS FATHER gave to him.
He is preparing a meal even now beloved one.
Every fertile soil needs a farmer which understands the heart of the landowner.
what was in his heart when he built this place?
that everyone could come.
FOLLOW .
He showed you what he wants.
Its here.
Its all here.
Under the soil.He worked hard making this place look like the original.,
Husbandry is taking place.
Caretaker.
PESTS IN THE GARDEN
In the flower garden there were a bunch of beautiful blooms.
But the aphids were trying to destroy the flowers before we could enjoy their beauty.
a little girl FOUND LADY BUG
She is very prophetic.
She said a lady bug is needed because it eats at the bad bugs.
(revised)
OVERHEARD:
Removal of all that hinders your walk sweetheart.
Yes, you too.
It's out of love that I reform you.
Mindsets of nations being reformed in the hand of the Master Potter.
Show them love.
Not just the little ones.
Some deal with more than you understand.
Please, carry MY heart for them.
Religeon has no place here.
It led you here.
But, now, its time to reshape how you think.
Children are teaching.
I saw a new one walking up to children that were already part of the house and putting their arms around them.
AS they do, You do.
They are my words. Listen with your eyes.
Do you see?
This is what love looks like.
Some taken from the sex slave trade.
Others from orphanages.
Still others from abusive homes.
Look again.
What do you SEE?

Ezekiel 16
Expanded Bible (EXB)
The Lord’s Kindness to Jerusalem
16 The ·Lord spoke his word [L word of the Lord came] to me, saying: 2 “·Human [T Son of man; 2:1], tell Jerusalem about her ·hateful [detestable; abominable] actions. 3 Say, ‘This is what the Lord God says to Jerusalem: Your ·beginnings [origin] and your ·ancestors [L birth]were in the land of the Canaanites. Your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite. 4 On the day you were born, your cord [C umbilical cord] was not cut. You were not washed with water to clean you. You were not rubbed with salt or wrapped in ·cloths[T swaddling cloths; Luke 2:7, 12; C typical care for newborns in the ancient Near East]. 5 No ·one felt sorry enough for [L eye took pity on] you to do any of these things for you. No, you were thrown out into the open field, because you were ·hated [detested; despised] on the day you were born.
6 “‘When I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, I said to you ·as you lay in your blood [L in your blood], “Live!”[a]7 I made you ·grow [flourish] like a plant in the field. You grew up and ·became tall [or matured; developed] and ·became like a beautiful jewel [orentered puberty; reached womanhood]. Your breasts formed, and your hair grew, but you were naked and ·without clothes [bare; exposed].
8 “‘Later when I passed by you and looked at you, ·I saw that [T behold] you were old enough for love. So I spread ·my robe [L the corner of my garment; Deut. 22:30; Ruth 3:9] over you and covered your nakedness. I also ·made a promise [swore; made a vow] to you and entered into an ·agreement [covenant; treaty; Ex. 19:5] with you so that you became mine, says the Lord God.
9 “‘Then I bathed you with water, washed all the blood off of you, and ·put oil on you[anointed you with oil/ointment]. 10 I put ·beautiful clothes made with needlework[embroidered clothing] on you and put sandals of fine leather on your feet. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.11 I put jewelry on you: bracelets on your arms, a ·necklace [chain] around your neck, 12 a ring in your nose, earrings in your ears, and a beautiful ·crown [tiara] on your head. 13 So you ·wore [were adorned with] gold and silver. Your clothes were made of fine linen, silk, and ·beautiful needlework [embroidery]. You ate fine flour, honey, and olive oil. You were very beautiful and became ·a queen [royalty].14 Then ·you became famous [your fame spread] among the nations, because you were so beautiful. Your beauty was perfect, because of the ·glory [splendor] I gave you, says the Lord God.
TESTIMONY:
This is the first set of scriptures God gave me upon being born again when He started to heal my heart.
After many years of pain, I moved out at a very young age.
I was imancipated at 14.
The ward of the court. Mom didn't want to take 'responsability' for me and I was safer on the streets.
I didn't have training. I had no clue even how to do life.
I had absolutely no understanding of relationships, of protocol, of what family was suppose to look like.
Everything I learned up until that point was done because of survival.
Without going into all of it, I have had to be remade more times than you would even believe.
I spent many years
undo-ing the training I did get when I found a family. Because as a Jehovah's Witness, I had learned love. I had learned family. The took me in at 18.
But, I had not learned how to think for myself.
Everyone always told me how to think. Most of the time, it ended up hurting me, or being half truth or got me rejected in the long run of what my belief system was.
So years later, when God gave me this scripture, He showed me how HE found me.
He wanted me to live.
He spoke life over me!.
I was GOD'S BABY.
and He would do whatever it took to make sure I was cared for.
LOVED.
PROTECTED.
I cannot even tell you how many times that was so true~
He saved my life!
I have understanding of the Potter's Wheel.
I KNOW what it takes to remake somone because I have been through it so many times.
Even now... religeous thought processes are still being removed.Residue.
All for the sake of the King and His Kingdom.
While I let Him remake me, I will show you my experiences.
I will call out what I see.
While I lay on this wheel, I WILL give what He gives me.
As a mother would.
Hebrews 12
The Message (MSG)
Discipline in a Long-Distance Race
12 1-3 Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!
4-11 In this all-out match against sin, others have suffered far worse than you, to say nothing of what Jesus went through—all that bloodshed! So don’t feel sorry for yourselves. Or have you forgotten how good parents treat children, and that God regards you as hischildren?
My dear child, don’t shrug off God’s discipline, but don’t be crushed by it either. It’s the child he loves that he disciplines; the child he embraces, he also corrects.
God is educating you; that’s why you must never drop out. He’s treating you as dear children. This trouble you’re in isn’t punishment; it’s training, the normal experience of children. Only irresponsible parents leave children to fend for themselves. Would you prefer an irresponsible God? We respect our own parents for training and not spoiling us, so why not embrace God’s training so we can truly live? While we were children, our parents did whatseemed best to them. But God is doing what is best for us, training us to live God’s holy best. At the time, discipline isn’t much fun. It always feels like it’s going against the grain. Later, of course, it pays off handsomely, for it’s the well-trained who find themselves mature in their relationship with God.
12-13 So don’t sit around on your hands! No more dragging your feet! Clear the path for long-distance runners so no one will trip and fall, so no one will step in a hole and sprain an ankle. Help each other out. And run for it!
God SAW how they were.
What they all needed.
What they would individually require.
This is not just me, but for all who will allow Him to change the way they think.
The first 3 pots, represent leaders of NATIONS that have already been well refined in this culture.
already years n years of reforming the way they think.
The other pot on the wheel represent my deaf nation.
UNREFINED.
RAW.
Still carrying residue from the ways and structure.
weeds in the garden represent our mindsets.( suppose to say pests are mindsets)
how what we THINK holds us bound if we do not let God remove them.
you too sweetheart, was God pointing at me.
saying, yes, you too.
we are leaders of a movement that NEEDS REFORMED.
please do not see anything else.
the words of specifics, were definates.
ways of thinking and behavior that will stifle this new plant from being accepted in this new environment of kingdom they are now placed in.
we are men and women of UNDERSTANDING and will make the necessary changes our dad desires so that He is pleased with the results of us coming to His table to dine.
We will learn the protocol of the kingdom.
Make everyone feel welcome. and appreciate the space we have been given at the table.
without breaking any of the dishes in the process.
Now do you understand?
we will work diligently to make sure you can understand His ways.
People represent people groups.
I am being taught these things even now.
But, I forget you havent had training.
So without it, you will not SEE that, unless I tell you.
You will misunderstand the heart of the matter of you dont see the nation on the wheel. Not merely individuals.
we are not excused from the process beloved.
every one of us will undergo this process.
If.....
if we will be the polished vessels reflecting His glory to the rest.
so that they are HUNGRY TO COME.
heart preparations are in process...
so when they all come, we will be READY to receive them.
Our development, cannot look like the MOLD you were taught or are use to.
It has to look like kingdom.
Oneness.
One adjenda for the whole.
Then, we will truly see this nation LIFT UP THEIR HEARD.
2 Timothy 3:16-17All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of Godmay be competent, equipped for every good work.
