Choices...

This was a great prophetic word that was so on-time! This word came on Monday and I already have seen it coming to pass is HUGE ways.

Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns -- September 22, 2008:
Rejoice in the opportunities that I will present for you to come face to face with your attitudes and motives, says the Lord, for you will be able to deliberately choose your responses rather than react instinctively. You will be able to experience the expressed difference between walking in the Spirit and yielding to the lusts of the flesh.

I am reminded of the nursery rhyme:
There was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good she was very, very good, but when she was bad she was horrid!

Your choices will take on exaggerated significance as you deal with issues that require righteousness, particularly in the areas of relationships and finances. The results of your decisions will either be spectacular or disastrous. There will be no middle ground.

If you will listen to My voice and obey My leading, says the Lord, and not harden your heart in rebellion, I will take you through the maze of every trial to gain the victory over the enemy of your soul. But, if you insist on going your own way, you will have to pay the piper; you will suffer the unpleasant consequences of your choices and actions.

In the beginning of your awareness of My Spirit, says the Lord, you lacked the maturity and understanding in the manifestation of spiritual gifts. And, as children do, you played and entertained yourself with your calling and gifting. According to 1 Corinthians 13:11 -- when you were a child, you spoke as a child, you understood as a child, you thought as a child; but you are becoming an adult spiritually, and you will put away childish things. The gifts of the Holy Spirit will no longer be play things, but will now become your tools for ministry as I lead you forth into the fullness of your calling.

For those who have trusted Me and have heard My voice, I say that I will honor your obedience and will bless and establish you in your going out and your coming in; in your rising up and your sitting down. For, I am bringing you to a higher octave in your gifting and calling that will resonate in the spirit realm with greater power and effectiveness than you could have imagined, says the Lord.

Psalms 121:8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.
Number 6:24-26 "The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace."

AMEN!
