WOA..... DIVINE SIGNS 10/21/08:
Within 3 weeks of each other, two of my top students missed
being in different train wrecks within minutes. Both accidents were
because one ran a red stop signal, and the other slowed down due to
a faulty signal. In the same time period, I had a vision where
words on a page were whizzing by so that I could not see what I was
actually viewing. It was all a blur. I felt the Lord was saying to
me, “You don’t need to travel so fast!” I also was on some
prednisone medication that was speeding up my heart rate and giving
me a lot of nervous energy that I was not used to. I could not
sleep more than 6 hours due to pain so I was also getting a LOT done
on my laptop in a little amount of time.
During all of this, I was in a pain flare and could not push the
handle forward on my easy chair to get out. So my husband found an
old cardboard tube he had saved out of the garbage of something I
had thrown away a long time ago!!!
This tube had held a huge piece of felt
where one can build jigsaw puzzles on top of it. The felt came in
this very strong, super duper cardboard tube. Wayne brought it in
from who knows where and put it over the easy chair handle. I had
instant leverage to wrap my arm around it to move my chair handle
down to get out. It was awesome! So for a week or so I had been
using this amazing gizmo that kept reminding me of old brake
handles on trains. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Yes I did catch the Lord’s
Word in regards to this: SLOW DOWN, PUT ON THE BRAKES, I want to
spend some time with you!
QUICKENED EYE GLANCE, AMAZING
CONFIRMATION: After I finished building the home for the new QW
School, I was trying out some of the new software to learn what it
could do. I was working on some foundation lessons of “Why Does God
Speak through Puzzles?” and “How Does God Speak Through Puzzles?”
One day I had a quickened eye glance and read the label on the
cardboard tube: “PUZZLE MASTER!” This blew me away, I had not
even connected the idea that I was working on the first two
foundation lessons about puzzles and here was God’s divine sign just
WAITING for me to see. He is SO patient with us, waiting in the
background, waiting to give us all His wonderful Words if we would
just stop and listen.
ANOTHER CONFIRMATION: I opened my
book, 101 Ways God Speaks to find the graphic of a puzzle, and came
to this page. Here is an excerpt:
"STOP,
TAKE TIME, PONDER, LISTEN
Without using our will and deciding to make these four choices,
we become like a locomotive with no brakes. We build up steam,
stay in one gear, and propel forward without taking time to view
the scenery. Each rail zooms by as we become lost in our goal
of reading and forget to look where we are going. Instead, we
should try riding a children’s train that has no particular
destination in mind other than to look and be a part of the fun!
What
is the fun? The fun is HEARING HIM! The love, the zeal, the joy
in life is RELATIONSHIP with HIM. Finding the fun, is removing
the locomotive race in our minds, and reading with the intent of
listening to what He has to say. Yet without the decision to
stop, and the desire to hear Him, reading the Bible becomes just
another pursuit of knowledge. The key to doing anything in life
is to do it WITH HIM.”
{end
excerpt quote}
ANOTHER CONFIRMATION: I was doing
a search to find the word “Listen” because it was quickened to me
and was very surprised to hear I had heard that in September. If I
had not been whirling around the world and back in software
research, I would have probably remembered it:
DREAM: I went to pastor and
said I had a gift of tongues to share. But instead he spoke one
sentence of tongues in the mike and then I spoke the English
interp of that sentence. And then we did the same thing back and
forth one sentence at a time. It was a very easy going “Word”
with spaces in between our voices with pausing and thinking.
The final sentence was “Stop, Look and Listen.”
WORD TO PONDER: STOP, LOOK AND
LISTEN 9/14/08
You have been asking Me to help you
understand what I have been speaking into your life. Yes
clarity is your gift of promotion, for as you are accountable
with what you know, then I give you more. I am desiring to
answer your prayers and train you in the gifts of
interpretation. As you learn to stop and pause when things are
quickened to you, I will open your eyes and ears to see and hear
My Word in plain sight around you. I will bring My Word in many
forms, many ways, through many circumstances. Allow Me to teach
you how to take each Word and develop the fuller meanings. Take
time to chew and assimilate the pieces and together they will
make a good meal.
What is most important is to take your
time, don’t rush or be presumptuous when I speak. You are
hearing Me speak, but do not necessarily understand how I want
it applied. As you stop, look and listen, it will be a
safeguard from making mistakes, especially at the crossroads of
opportunity.
Isa 32:2-4 NLT
He will shelter Israel from the
storm and the wind. He will refresh her as a river in the desert
and as the cool shadow of a large rock in a hot and weary land.
Then everyone who can see will be looking for God, and those who
can hear will listen to his voice. Even the hotheads among them
will be full of sense and understanding. Those who stammer in
uncertainty will speak out plainly.
By the mouth of two or
three witnesses every word shall be established.
2 Cor 13:1 NKJV

How did I know it was an angel in the
dream?
Many have seen angels in their dreams
without realizing it. That is because most ministering angels look like
humans without wings. The main difference is that their countenance is loving,
peaceful and kind. The angel was smiling and eager to help. The
role of angels is to be there to help us get to our destination in
the Lord. They are here on earth to minister to us and usually
appear very friendly and helpful.
Heb 13:2 NLT
Don't forget to show hospitality to
strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels
without realizing it!
Heb 1:14 AMP
Are not the angels all ministering
spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God for the
assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation?
ACTIVITY:
For those who can join us, the activity for this lesson will be on
the daily Class Discussion Digest. We will be discussing the
angel in the dream and the spiritual interpretations hidden within
the details of the dream.
QUESTION ONE: Why do you think the
angel was pantomiming?
QUESTION TWO: Why do you think the
restaurant was downstairs instead of the school level?
