How To Build A Rhema Box & Separating Peas From Gravel

The Lord bless us tonight with discernment and understanding. Amen.

I have a wonderful teaching to share with you tonight. Something that's really helped me and Ezekiel over the years, to pick through the very interesting and twisty-turney life that He's chosen for us. That the Lord's chosen for us, that no one could guide us into but the Lord. As I've said so many times before, He writes straight with crooked lines! And the kind of wisdom that it takes to move alone in your life in His will is not readily available through man, because there are many times where the Lord contradicts man's ways in order to teach you something and take you into an area that you need training in for a season.

I wanted to share with you a couple of different methods of discerning and getting a word from the Lord, for direction, inspiration and understanding. There are many good Christian books out there, people who have led very holy lives, have great understanding and have written books. Of course we also need discernment when picking out a book, and no author is perfect, no preacher is perfect without some error in their theology, or without offense to someone. We can't please everyone. We're not called to please everyone, only God.

There are seasons in our lives. A season where perhaps we've been overcome by failure after failure to attain our dreams, and we are lying on the floor half dead. During those times we need something different than in the times when we are being propelled into success by the Lord, or we've been traveling a rewarding road for many years but Jesus wants to do something different and new in this next season............

Now I want to introduce you to the Rhema file. Once you get these readings, it is really a good practice to write theses things down on files cards and put them where you will see them over and over again. So I will write them down on a 3 and a half by 5 file cards. Sometimes I put a little bird or trees or something along with the word that I gleaned from a particular book, or from the Scriptures, and put them on the mirror, the frig, near my desk, etc. Reading these Rhemas over and over again plants them solidly in my mind. After I've absorbed them for a while, I take them off the mirror or refrigerator and I put them in a file card box, which now becomes a resource for me.

So, I start collecting these cards.

When you're sitting in front of the Lord after worship or on a hard day, and you just can't hear a thing, go to your Rhema file and allow Holy Spirit to guide your fingers to a card. You will be amazed if not knocked off your feet, when you see how very present God is to you in your situation and how appropriate the card is that Holy Spirit picked.

I wanted to clarify, that I don't use the Bible Promise Book all the time, only when I'm having issues discerning or when I want to make sure what I've been given is not from my flesh, my own mind or the enemy. It is a sacred trust to speak in the Name of the Lord. But most of the time on day to day issues, I just act from my conscience and do what I know is right. And when I feel God prompting me in one direction or another, I just follow that.
