"re: Peggy/smoking"
Dear Peggy,
I wanted to let you know that I will be praying for you,
dear sis, about the smoking and also wanted to share a vision the Lord
gave me in January. He showed me a person who was praying/pleading
for release from an addiction while other members of the Body of Christ
were standing around quoting various verses from scripture (which the person
already knew intimately) The Lord showed me the person's heart, (which
He loved) and it was tender and willing, seeking and desperate and then
He showed me the hearts of the people around him. Their hearts were
full of self righteous condemnation and judgement. More than anything,
they wanted that person to put down his flesh by his own will power. Misery
loves company.
In the next part of the vision, the Lord showed me the
person standing, this time with one person on either side of him, holding
his arms up. (like Moses) When the Lord showed me this, He spoke to my
spirit and said, "I have given everyone something that they cannot do for
themselves, that only others in the Body, coming alongside in prayer and
fasting can accomplish."
In the last part of the vision, I saw a wine bottle,
heard a loud pop and saw the cork fly out of the neck, leaving a trail
of smoky vapour behind it. I believe it symbolized release and New
Wine. I don't believe the Lord is offended by you Peggy. I've
read your site many times. I know your heart. Don't be tempted
to do this in your own strength. Let us hold up your arms.
Relax. Remember: "Not by might, nor by power but by my Spirit, sayeth
the Lord". That thing's just going to drop off. In the meantime,
just stay focused on Him. Kathryn LeCorre
