Getting things in "Order"

[msbojingles]

(just want to clarify here) the "three years" isn't an exact date, so don't anyone go mark your calendars or anything, for all I know something could happen a year from now. . . I hope everyone understands that, hence the term "within." (this isn't directed at anyone specifically) And don't be getting any ideas like some big explosion is going to occur, or that there will be a newsflash across the tv that says "this is what the Lord was talking about."

It will be an inner witness, and if it is like anything I've experienced in the past, people who actually DO go into preparation are less likely to feel the "bump" as are people to whom the word is given, but do nothing.

Like I said, this may not be for everyone. I'm on a need-to-know basis, and apparently I don't need to know that info.




Just to share something that happened to me a few years back. My husband was upset with his auto-insurance company, so he cancelled them. Well, I didn't think too much of it, assuming he would directly get to getting other insurance. (He didn't, mostly because he is the biggest procrastinator this planet has ever seen)

Well the Lord began speaking to me about the insurance on his truck, and that something was going to happen to the truck. He told me it was imperative that I get insurance on the truck. For a time, I persisted in telling DH, that I felt like the Lord had said to get insurance on the truck, and even went about finding insurance. But DH told me not to do it, that he would do it.

Well I was in bondage at that time to the belief that I was just supposed to blindly obey my husband, that he was my authority, and that if he was in the wrong, the Lord would deal with him before anything bad could happen to me.

So, I obeyed my husband, and left it up to him as he demanded. Two months later I had an accident (I hit a postal van of all vehicles). I didn't even see the van at all. It was a cloudy day out (and I know this is very rare, esp. in women), but I have a slight colour blindness in certain shades, meaning, I can't tell some shades apart, when other people can see a noticeable difference.

Imagine hitting a governement vehicle and not having insurance. Imagine what a heel I felt like after the Lord warned me about getting insurance for the truck.

We lost the truck and had to pay for the postal vehicle.

There were several things I learned from that.

#1. God is my authority. He establishes authority, but when established authorites are in direct disobedience to Him, we must follow God's voice and not just blindly follow someone else.

#2. It's a lot easier to listen to God the FIRST TIME.

And some other things which you can imagine.

Here He was, trying to protect me, and I didn't obey.

Who knows, if I had listened, maybe the accident wouldn't have ever even happened. Then I probably wouldn't have known what He sent the warning for, but still I should have trusted Him enough to know that He had kept or was keeping me from harm.

And before anyone asks - NO, I do NOT believe God made me have an accident!! lol

Wow! remarkable story msbojingles! I guess listening to God can really save us in so many ways, including saving a lot of money!

 

[J4Jesus]

For most its the house and car.
I 've done all I can and now all I can do is just leave it up to the Lord. He will have to do it and take care of me.

A couple days this week, I woke up with this song in my heart, been singing it all morning


Hallelujah's ringing out across the land
Everybody's singin' at the Lord's command
All the saints and the angels up in glory wait to hear the news
of Jesus and His children at the marching through.

You might like to see this. The song in your heart you've been singing is nearly identical to the solo section that was attributed to a song being sung by angels. The solo was typed out, here is the link,..

A few particulars about the song. Remember there are only around 7 or so people that were practicing the song for their choir, yet when you carefully listen to it, you hear a great mulititude of voices singing and harmonizing. Also, there were no instruments used during the practice with the exception of a piano, yet you hear french horns and others in the mix.

Everytime I listen to it, I get a great witness of The Holy Spirit.

This is definitely confirmation.

As encouragement, I used dogpile.com and searched "frugal" and found thousands of ideas to cut expenses on the internet.

Thanks for the reminder!! I tend to hear things and say "cool information." Then forget its importance.


Dave, thanks for the link! Good stories along with the music.

Great link!

For the last three years the Lord has impressed upon both my husband and I to get out of credit card debt of any kind. I didn't have the money to pay them all off at once, but started doubling up on the payments on each one. They went down really fast. We just finished up paying off the last one, with the Lord supplying some unexpected cash, to finish them off. I think if your willing, He's even more willing to make it easier to do it. I don't know exactly what is going to take place economically, but being obediant when not knowing is a good thing.

 

[TheGloryisHere]

I don't know if it is or not. Credit card debt would be classified as debt!! lol.

I personally have absolutely zero credit card debt.

I've never been in debt. When I entered adult-hood, the Lord told me that scripture that says "owe no man anything but love" and I have always heeded it from the age of 18.

 

[Trish1947]

We had never been in debt before either, until we bought a house that was in need of some repairs. Just glad to not owe anything at all.

 

[TheGloryisHere]

Luke 21:24

".........and Jerusalem shall be trodden underfoot, until the time of the gentiles be fulfilled."

This is talking about the tribulation period, not the time before. The scriptures after it makes this verse make more sense.

I was delighted that when I retired in 1989 and received my lump sum from the NHS retirement scheme, I was able to settle all my financial obligations and have remained that way every since.

However, there's more to debt than money. Returning or passing on favours of love and Christian fellowship, making sure that people around you are not in need; this could all be part of the order referred to, could it not, msbo?

If we've neglected to see to the needs of our fellow man, I would see that as a debt or obligation that needs attending to.

You are right about that. There is all sorts of different types of debt. When you see to the human aspect of debt first, you will be amazed how closely they are tied to the other in your personal life.

wow thanks Dave. I actually heard someone else sing that quite a while ago, so I don't lay any claim to it, especially not after that link!! lol, but I was surprised I could remember the words to it, so in that sense, I believe it was the Holy Spirit with His reminders.

Absolutely. That's even something that my husband and I are going to be doing. We've both felt very led to sell (almost) all our belongings and move back home and help our families. I know even in the last year, the Lord has been repairing some broken relationships in my family, but it did require some obedience on my part, to "settle a debt" and not a financial one.

Thanks for bringing that point out.

You're doing all you can. God will do the rest.

"therefore having done all, remain standing"

 

[flaglady]

I said that because I have a sister who barely manages on her state pension so I make her a little allowance which is paid each month into her account. I used to give her the money but she was always so embarrassed so I made that arrangement to save her that. I also showed her the verse in 1 Tim 5:8 "If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever."after which she was more comfortable about it.

 

[charityagape]

Being out of debt is an awesome thing, we should be able to pay of our house and lot completely within the next two or three years. The only "problematic" debt we have is school loans and those are huge.

 

[youthwalk]

Ok, this is VERY HARD for me to put out here as I know there will be some who will disagree with it and maybe even accuse this of being false. Please be patient. If this is for you, receive it. If it is not, there is nothing wrong with that, and you don't need to think any more about it.

But people, I really believe the Lord has shown me something, and it's being put out here for testing. FEEL FREE TO TEST IT. But I know this is going to affect me, and it will affect some here. It may very well NOT be for everyone. Anyways back to it.

I believe the Lord has shown me that it is imperative to "get things in order." People who are in debt, especially non-landowners, it is imperative that you do what is necessary to get out of debt within the law. I believe the Lord has said something is going to happen within 3 years that it will be important to "have things in order."

(what that "something" is I do not know, and I know some will think I'm way out in lala land here, I assure you I am NOT - it may be something as simple as some new law that will be put into place, it may be something much bigger, all I know is that it is important to heed the Lord's voice, the last time the Lord told me to "get things in order" and I didn't, it was absolutely disastrous.)

The bible says to "owe no man anything."

People, I can't express to you the imminence that permeates me right now.

This is NOT to instill fear into anyone. In fact it is very encouraging that the Lord is looking out for us. There are some things going to happen in our near future that He wants us to be prepared for.

So let us be in preparation.





(please be gentle )

You have the sense that this is national or global, right? It sounds like you do.

I think it's important that we listen to nudges like this... sometimes I run into prophetic groups where people consistently correct each others' prophecies. How can we possibly listen to Him if we're stealing each others' messages from Him.

I have had a similar sense about a closer date for my area, and have been struggling with how seriously to take it. So I know what you mean... I think it's important that you're sharing this with others.

Lord, we lift up to You this prodding that msbojingles has felt. Give her clear vision in what preparations she needs to make, what people she needs to tell, and what other steps she should make.

Open our hearts to be receptive to Your voice, especially when You speak through others. We know there are reasons you give a message to one and not the other, but we don't always understand why.

Help us be prepared for what is to come.

Thank you for your constant interaction in our lives, and intervention to protect us from harm. Show us how we can help both believers and nonbelievers to be prepared. Raise up the right people to coordinate necessary community assistance.

You are so amazing, in weaving people and events together. Help us respect and depend on Your strengths in foreknowing and always caring.

OH THANK YOU LORD for your confirmations!

Heron, about it being national or global. I do get the sense it could very well be global, but especially for the "prosperous" nations. But I don't want to put that in stone, because it might just be my natural mind.

Now as soon as I typed that out I looked back up at what I said and it appears national.

Ok, so people might want to ignore this post, I think this is my natural mind speaking. pay no heed. . lol

I too received a strong witness to this word. I stand in agreement with Heron's prayer.

I would not say that I got this urging from an economic sense AS YET, however I have had it place on my spirit, heart with URGENCY and it frightened me. As I mentioned in another thread I had a strange dream where I was speaking to a man, asking him and he was advising me on a financial issue, however, the things he said repulsed the spirit in me and I rebuked him in Jesus' name. He ran away but I had a deep sense that he was either Satan himself or some very influential demon.

The night before I had a dream where nearly a quarter of my country had slipped into the sea. Not a tidal wave sense, not a breaking apart of islands but it was like the land just slipped into the sea, more like a landslide.

The next night I had a dream where the event had passed and this was now Trinidad's reality, it was now a smaller, shifted island. I was standing next to a person, who always seems to be with me in intense dreams, their face constantly changes but their presence is guiding, calm and safe (not protective, if you get my sense, just safe). We were looking at a place near the coast where houses were, instead there was like a vast expanse of silt and muddy water, as if the land had become a swampy, unstable area. The houses were swallowed up and there were two people digging in the silt for personal belongings. I thought it odd that it didn't feel sad, like they were looking for people's bodies but they were looking for personal valuables instead.

There was so much urgency that something was going to take place soon that would change EVERYTHING. I’m not sure if that means in a global sense or just my reality in Trinidad.


I woke up and told my mother that morning of the second connected dream. That was Wednesday of last week I believe and on Sunday night I was watching TV with a friend and my mom was getting ready to go to bed. Then she walked into the room like she was thinking about something and picked up the newspaper and opened it. She showed me a page and said “I was supposed to show you this” on the page there was an article. Read it if you like: http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/article_news?id=161156356

The article is titled: T&T’s North West coast going down.

This is the same coast I dreamt, the one nearest the capital city.

I can’t explain the sense of urgency in those and all my dreams that followed. So much so that I woke up driven to tell someone, to warn them…about what I don’t know.

And then I saw this thread, so this in confirmation for me too sis.

I contemplated starting a thread about the dreams I had but I have had so many dreams that became realities in someway that I held off on it until I understood them better.

Added to that, I was playing with my nephew while my mother was watching an Oprah episode on global warming. There was a shot about some where in Alaska where the land had done just what I saw in my dream; it just dropped into the sea. And this man was standing under/next to a cliff structure where the land was eroding digging it; it had the same consistency as the soil in my dream, except this on was ice and dirt.

I don’t know what all this means. It feels like a heaviness at times because it feel like I need to say something to someone but I don’t know what to say.

I hope I was clear in my explainations.

Lord, you know so much more than we do -- what will come, what is happening below the surface. Thank you for alerting Youthwalk to coming events. Thank you for her consistent alertness to your voice.

We ask the you alert others along the Gulf of Paria -- bring the article and research into public discussion so that people can prepare. Help government officials take planning seriously, and give the coastal residents wisdom about where to reside.

You are so thoughtful, Lord.
