My new 238

I want the new 238! I woke up this morning at about 2:38, that's a.m.! I weighed myself cause I really felt The Lord was going to have me go on a fast, for however long He wanted, but I love to see where I'm at on the scale. It was 238. (It was actually 238.5 but I think that about the same!)
So that's the old 238. The new 238 is The Lord waking me up at 2:38 a.m. and sharing with me the things that are on His heart. Him instructing me in paths of righteousness for His Names sake. Man, it's really sweet. As I write this I am on the high point of this 238 journey, it's now 4:06. Over an hour with The Lord being really sweet with me, wow.
I just got back yesterday afternoon, from one of those divine appointments! We met with Duane Beaver, his Realtor and a bunch of Hutterites who own a very nice newer building which we believe would work very nicely with our machine that will help us feed the world, literally!
The problem is, they need money. They're asking $450,000 for the $1,000,000 building they built about 3 years ago, including 30 acres, and a new house on the property, which would be perfect for a care taker. I don't really care if we get the building, but I just want God to do it, and not us!
So, back to the 238, the a.m. version! I want very much to be done with the me version of who I am, and want to be the He version that permeates everything I do, and everything I am. I don't want it to be a me gospel, I want it to be a He gospel. I want it to be Him, and not me. I want me to be 100% Him, does that make sense? The new 238! What's that going to look like!? Will I get to be all that He made me to be, YES! But what will that look like...I pray it'd look at lot like Him!
So, how does this new 238 look. It started this morning and now at 4:14 with a little hunger, and a little juice. Now that that's done what's next? A Love letter to my daughter and son in law.
I started the new 238 with my first thoughts of my oldest daughter, and the trouble she seems to be in. I wanted to call her right away and ask her what's wrong with her. After realizing that it was birthed out of a critical spirit and not of the Holy Spirit, I rebuked that one, and asked for the other one!
Then I prayed. I prayed for a girl that seems like she's in a lot of trouble, then had a really weird vision. One that you have when you're awake. There was this really big guy who walked by her truck as she was sitting in it, and it scared her really bad. Then the second part of my first 238 dream; she called me because a really big scary guy was looking at her through her truck windshield looking at her very frighteningly. She called me and I started telling her what to do. I calmly led her through her salvation plan. I told her to start the car, back up, and get out of there. Problem #1, big guy jumps in her truck. But she she keeps going anyway, good girl! Then I ask her where she is, cause I have no idea; city, country, rest stop? She tells me she's in a city, so I tell her to try and find a police station, BUT DON'T STOP, run lights if you have to. Then she has to slam on the breaks, it sends scary guy falling to the front of the bed of her truck and knocks him real good, I tell her to scream, "Get out or your going to die!" but he doesn't respond, so I tell her to peel out, which sends him crashing against the back of the truck, we warned scary guy!
As the vision ends I realize I really do want to help her, and as I considered calling her, it changed into a facebook thought. But instead of a “Where are you, how come you don't return my calls, how come you leave town and don't let us know.” to a Love letter. That's more in line with what The Lord wants from us!

Day two: Isiah 58:6 Is it a fast that I have chosen, A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, And to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Would you call this a fast, And an acceptable day to the LORD? 6 “ Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;

Then follows a lot of promises, like; your light breaking forth in the morning, our healing coming forth speedily, the Lord's glory being our rear guard; then you shall call and The Lord will answer you! Amen and amen!
Don't we want that? Then lets loose the bonds of the oppressed more!
Lord show us how you want us to do that. In what areas can we loose those bonds, show us the things that are in front of us so we can personally help. I would love to be known as one who loosed the bonds of the oppressed!
In Jesus Name!

Day Three: I woke with my wife snuggling really sweetly with me, and the Lord saying "That's what she needs. " We just found out our daughter is being told by God that she's supposed to move in with her older sister in another state. The amazing thing about it is, we don't want her to, she doesn't want to, but God told us separately that she was supposed too, and through a series of amazing words, circumstances, and confirming words from others, He spoke, and we're going to do it, cause He said!
I Love the Lord, the way He does things, the way He orchestrates things only the way He can.
First scripture for today: (Thanks biblegateway.com) Philippians 2 (New King James Version)

Unity Through Humility 1 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, 2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
The Humbled and Exalted Christ 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bond servant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.


Imagine how we complain about stuff, then imagine Him doing that...you know, what He did! How awesome is that!!??
Looking forward to see what He has for us today!
