While
jogging yesterday, I spotted a dime on the gravel trail. I heard God say that
He was using that dime to give me prophetic revelation for marriages this year.
Here is what He showed me:
The
significance of ten-
A dime is worth ten cents. Ten signifies the perfection of Divine order and
completeness. When husband and wife are hand in hand in unity, their five
fingers intertwine to make ten. Although
God can bless each individual, there is another tier of blessings that cannot
be released until husband and wife are operating in unity and align to God’s
order for their marriage.
Redemption
in the rubble- The
silver dime was surrounded by grey gravel, and could have easily been
camouflaged if I hadn’t spotted it. God showed me the gravel symbolizes the
clutter and distractions that the enemy tries to consume us with each day, and
the dime represents our spiritual life. If we look for meaning and fulfillment
though our circumstances, we will feel insignificant—lost in a sea of
gravel. The dime is silver, which
represents redemption. Even when we don’t feel valuable in relation to this
world, we must remember that our eternal value lies in Christ alone. I Peter
1:18-19, “knowing that you were not
redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless
conduct received by tradition by your fathers, but with the precious blood of
Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” (NKJV)
The
importance of perspective- I spotted the dime from a distance on my first lap, but when I searched
for it the second lap, I didn’t see it. God showed me that when we start
walking with Him, He will show us precious promises that belong to us. However,
when we don’t see those promises fulfilled in the moment of our journey we
believe they should have been, it confuses us. God wants us to keep our eyes on
Him and walk straight on the path that He has called us to. When we start to
desire the promise above the Keeper of Promises, God will lead us on another
lap to show us a heavenly perspective and keep us close to Him. II Peter 3:9, “The Lord is not slack concerning His
promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing
that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” (NKJV)
A
resurrection of the dead- On the third lap, I found the dime I thought I would not see again. It
just jumped out at me. I believe that
three years ago in 2010 many couples had faith for some situations, and that
which they believed for appeared to die in the natural. 2010 was just the
completion of a cycle. Every ending marks a new beginning. These past three
years have been filled with trials and tribulation for much of the body of
Christ. However, I believe that 2013 marks the third trimester for many this
year and the promises that they have believed for will be birthed out this
year. God will receive all the glory for He is the Living God who is
resurrected and seated on the throne. In heaven nothing is lost and nothing is
impossible. Ezekiel 37:4, “Again He said
to me, ‘Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, “O dry bones, hear the word
of the LORD! 5 Thus says the LORD GOD to these bones, “Surely I will cause
breath to enter you, and you shall live. 6 I will put sinews on you and bring
flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live.
Then you shall know that I am the LORD.” Luke 13:32, “Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox that I will keep on casting out demons
and healing people today and tomorrow; and on the third day I will accomplish
my purpose.” (NLT)
Watch for
“suddenlies”- God is
going to cause many situations to “turn on a dime.” Rapid changes will occur
when we give God complete control and allow Him to steer our lives. No matter
how things look initially, trust God completely and you will see miraculous
suddenlies in your marriage, finances, and ministry. Suddenly means one second
it is one way and the next second it is another. God has been working behind
the scenes and many miracles will manifest this year. Acts 16:26, “Suddenly, there was a great earthquake, so
that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors
were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.”
Pocketing
the “change”- The dime
is commonly known as “change.” Many couples will experience change in the natural
that may seem small at first, but is valuable because it is part of a greater
heavenly bank that cannot yet be seen but is nevertheless real and present. In
2013 there will be an opportunity to “pocket the change” or embrace seemingly small changes because they will lead to something greater. Also, 13 is a number that
symbolizes rebellion. God is wanting to deal with the stubborn and rebellious
parts of us this year so he can bless us and give us the desires of our hearts.
Begin to value small changes in your routines, habits, speech, and how you
treat each other. Every race is just a
series of footsteps. Proverbs 4:20-27, 4 “My
son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. 21 Do not let
them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 For they
are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep your
heart with all diligence, For out of it springs the issues of life. 24 Put away
from you a deceitful mouth, And put perverse lips far from you. 25 Let your eyes
looks straight ahead, And your eyelids look right before you. 26 Ponder the
path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. 27 Do not turn to the
right or the left; remove your foot from evil.”
