"Yes,
You Will Be Blessed!"
by Lonnie
Mackley Aug. 9th, 2016
I just
felt led to encourage some of you that have been having a hard time believing
that God wants to bless, heal, deliver, and restore you, because you have had a
lifetime of setbacks, denials, and humiliations in preparation for the incredible
calling that you are about to begin. The devil has been trying to lie to you
and tell you that you are unworthy, and also that you shouldn't get your hopes
up because nothing will happen and God will just let you down again because you
are just a big loser and failure that will never have anything good because you
don't deserve it. Lie, lie, and lie again!
Some of
you like King David and Joseph were born into homes where you felt like the
strange egg dropped in the wrong nest and no matter how good things went for
others around you, you always seemed to get the bad end of the stick. Although
the devil was trying to cripple you from the start, God has actually used all
of your humbling in order to build compassion in you toward the multitude of
people you are about to bring His power to. Plus the magnitude and scope of
God's outpouring on your life will be so far beyond what you now see that you
will need all the humility you can get!
So get
off the pity-pot today and stop listening to that same old broken record of
lies from the devil and people that have kept you down. Healing, deliverance,
and restoration are not just coming in the future anymore, they are here now!;
so stop begging and whining and start thanking God for it! Most people in the
bible had hard lives of humiliating preparation just like you and when the time
for them to rise up to their position came, they felt unworthy for it as well.
But what God is about to do through you must be all Him and none of you, so get
your faith back today and start believing again!
HAG 2: 19 Is there
yet any seed left in the barn? Until now, the vine and the fig tree, the
pomegranate and the olive tree have not borne fruit. " `From this day on I
will bless you.' "

THANK YOU! You have no idea how much I needed to wake up this morning and read these words.

Not really a hard time believing, but when nothing happens and ...

Doubt that it will ever happen sets in, and of course ...

Not so much this, but there was a particular circumstance that has directly resulted in some doubt.
Yup it's all lies, but it is insidious and exhausting when it is unrelenting.

describes my life to this very day. I am always out of step. Always outside looking in. Always alone (except for God of course).

You have no idea how true that is.In fact, that is an understatement, to end all understatements. I would be HAPPY with the 'bad end of
the stick' at least I would have hold of the stick.

Yes! and YES! I know.

bit harsh lol but I can see that some people might need the kick in the rear. I am not
on the pity pot, but I am weary in body. This battle has taken a toll on me, and while I have been and am more than
willing to pay the price (I'm still here!) I feel it's time for it to end now, a feeling that is not helped by the fact
that I know that...

It's just that we are in that dreadful stage where labour has started, but the baby isn't here yet. It's here, but not
here.

Again a wee bit harsh... but in keeping with what I have been feeling for the last few days in that it is a time for rejoicing and
thanking God.

Rose yesterday I came across this verse
http://biblehub.com/2_samuel/21-10.htm
Rizpah daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest till the rain poured down from the heavens on the bodies, she did not let the birds touch them by day or the wild animals by night.
I looked up the name Rizpah today and it has reference to the "glowing coal" as in Isaiah 6:6 http://www.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Rizpah.html#.V6rH zY9OJYc
http://biblehub.com/niv/isaiah/6-6.htm
Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
I feel like for some reason God wanted me to say those things

Hi Liv,
Thank you for being obedient and posting, but I have to say I'm not following what the Lord is trying to say.
I've read the entire chapter of 2 Samuel 21. I've looked up all the references to Rizpah / hot coal in the concordance. It seems to be speaking of God
removing sin, both from the chapter in Samuel and Isaiah 6:6.
The very root word (if you trace it down through Strong's) of Rizpah is 'to set alight, to burn' and that also has some symbolic meanings.
But overall - not sure. Rizpah was the daughter of Aiah which means tribulation. She was the lover / wife of Saul which means "to beg or ask". She
kept the birds of the air and the beasts of the field - which are symbolically used elsewhere in the Bible for demons/Satan - away from her sackcloth
(mourning), which could be cross-referenced to Isa 61:2-3 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to
comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of
praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
I shall continue to ponder it.

dear Rose
from the chapter my understanding was that David heard of what she had done and knew to honour with honour from God because of what she had done.
I am reminded of Jesus saying these demons will not come out except by prayer and fasting - even with dishonour on the house of Saul David heard of her and knew to honour her because of what she had done, and this honour was from God. the disciples were surprised when they could not cast out demons, and Jesus' reply was these demons cannot be cast out except with prayer and fasting.
thank you for your response, pray this makes sense

Hi Liv,
Thanks again, but no that makes even less sense to me. I think at this point I need to say that I don't think the message is for
me. Perhaps there is someone else reading this thread to whom it is applicable.
Rose
