[revival-fire] "THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE" -- SOUND FAMILIAR? -- Dews, 7/3/08

******* REVIVAL FIRE!!! *******    

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR SUPERNATURAL PROVISION

My hope is that this will be an encouragement to anyone who is believing for a supernatural financial breakthrough, and struggles with that little voice that keeps reminding you "But this doesn't make any sense."

PROPHETIC WORDS = CHANGE

Many prophetic words last summer—"a change in your ministry," "A shift around the end of Oct, beginning of Nov '07," "An increase in authority, shift to a new level."  All great.  But what did it mean?  Then September '07, Cali, Colombia.  Prophecy from an apostolic couple whom we trust, but who know absolutely nothing about us.

"New office.  Don't be afraid to leave the old office for the new (because it's unknown).  I am making a big change.  You're going to set whole churches into a whole new level of revival.  And the world is going to seem like just as familiar to you as your backyard.  I'm gonna' sustain you because where you go the fire is going to go with you."  

"I'M GOING TO DO IT — 'REST' IN ME"

And this is the part that started to really hit us (especially me)—"And you're going to look at it and go Lord, I don't understand.  Where is it all coming from?  All this power, all this provision, all these resources?  The Lord says to enter into His  (another word for 'trust') 'rest.'  And you'll know His rest in a new dimension because it's so out of your reach, so out of your understanding.  It's so impossible.  No matter how you'd humanly work at making it come to pass, you still couldn't do it.  I will do everything, I'll put the pieces together, bring all the people, all you need."

I KNOW IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE — BUT SELL & LEAVE THE FAMILIAR

January – God made it abundantly clear, such that even we couldn't miss it, that we were to return home to San Diego.  It was about family, and about a new assignment He had for us.  Carol's mom and step-father had just moved into an assisted living facility.  She couldn't sell her home in this market.  Would we want it — yes.  So, re-modeling began — and here was the sticking point for me — but we wouldn't know exactly how much it would cost until we had begun the process (but, that doesn't make any sense.  You don't commit to start spending money before you know all the financial ramifications -- can anyone relate to this?).  

And what about our house in Vacaville?  We bought at the very height of the real estate frenzy 3 years ago — we couldn't sell — that didn't make any sense.  Once again, God through a series of prophetic acts made it abundantly clear,  "Unplug and reset."  Those are the things we had to do 10 times to our computer, printer and DVD player over a 24 hour period.  Once — coincidence, 5 times — better pay attention, 10 times — God's talkin' to ya!

House on the market.  Don't know if you've noticed, but it has been less than a stellar real estate market lately.  Depressing financial news every day.  And the improvements on the SD house should be ready by early April.  Vacaville house hasn't sold yet — how's that going to work — double payments?  But we ran into problems that had to be solved before we could take possession of the house.  In the meantime, we lowered the price of the house to the absolute lowest we could go, now wondering if a sale would appraise.  That's a whole new ballgame for real estate these days.

SO CLOSE TO BLOWING IT

We set June 13 as the day to have the moving truck come.  We had just about decided we had heard wrong from God about selling and would have to lease (that's how the enemy works — fear), when a buyer came in, agreed to our terms, and said "The house is going to appraise, I've got a good appraiser and the loan will be no problem."  Our real estate agent is more left-brained, analytical, logical thinking like me.  A believer, but also a realist.  But, remember what God said.  He would take care of everything.  There's so much more to tell, but the bottom line is the appraiser came in, loved the house, gave it a good write-up, the loan went through like the buyer's agent said it would, and the house closed a week after we moved out.   Oh, and the house in SD was finally finished — exactly on time — the day our moving truck picked us up in Vacaville on Friday the 13th (no triscadiscaphobia here).  We moved in the following Monday.

A GOD ORDAINED TRANSACTION

God brought the exact right buyer for the house, great credit score, loan approved, the right appraiser, and got us moved into the SD house right on time.  As I look at all this I have to shake my head.   In so many ways, it didn't make any sense.  It wasn't logical to sell in this market, but we are convinced we did absolutely the right thing.  And we saw the hand of God on this transaction.  It makes me go to that place that says I'll never NOT trust God again — for anything.  Just thought this might be encouraging for some during these interesting, challenging economic times.

We will be in Wyoming the weekend of the11th, have a little time off, and then begin traveling quite a bit in August.  We'll be ministering in Ankeny, IA, a Healing Seminar in Dear Park, WA in Sep, and the Sozo School  in Vacaville the end of Sep.  You can sign up now on our website, and please check our website for meetings near you.  Blessings.
