A Message to Parents
July 7, 2001
This message is directed to both biological and spiritual parents. It is also
for people who may not have children (biological or spiritual), but God has
given you a burden, a vision, a ministry which you have carried and nurtured
with the same effort and love that any parent gave their
child.
A BOWL OF TEARS, BROKEN TREASURES
I saw a big group of people and many of them were in a silent and frozen mode.
Each of them was holding something. I saw one group holding in their
hands golden bowls filled with liquid which the Holy Spirit impressed to me were
collected tears . While another group was carrying close to their
hearts shattered pieces of valuable treasures.
SYMBOL
The Holy Spirit impressed to me that the golden bowls filled with tears and
the shattered treasures are symbolic. The golden bowl of tears reflects the
actual tears, the prayer petitions, the longings, the cries of many parents that
God has received and collected in heaven. The shattered treasures represents
children whose lives are broken or who have drifted away from their parents.
They also represent burdens, dreams, visions and ministries which seem to have
died.
UNSPOKEN WORDS
Many of these people have exerted all human effort to change and improve
the situation and circumstances in their midst. But all seems to have failed
and the only remaining expression that comes out from their mouth and heart
this season is in the form of silently bowing before the Lord, a
surrender which sometimes is accompanied by sighs, groans,
questions, longings AND THE HOPE THAT GOD HAS HEARD THEIR PLEA AND
WILL COME TO THEIR AID.
ABRAHAM AND HANNAH
God has allowed a deep stretching to take place in the hearts of these men and
women of God. Like Abraham and Hannah, the Lord has demanded the best from
you. He has also required all from you. And YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THROUGH.
QUESTIONS IN THE HEART
Many are wrestling with questions in their heart.
Is the Lord punishing my children now because of my past sins or sins of my
ancestor?
Is there a curse in our family?
Have I overlooked or failed to do something?
Is it my fault Lord?
Am I being tested like Job?
Is this a satanic assault upon us?
The Lord gave these words for me to share. As you read them, I pray that the
precious Holy Spirit will breathe His life upon each of these words.
MESSAGE FROM OUR HEAVENLY FATHER
"I know, I see and I understand everything. The past belongs to Me. Rest in
My promise and assurance that as you acknowledge and confess your sins and
shortcomings. The blood of the Lamb, My Son, Your Savior is more than sufficient
to pay and cover for all and every iniquities past, present and future.
"Do not drain yourselves out trying to find the answers. Whatever you need
to know, I will reveal to you in a very clear manner. Instead of focusing
within, let your eyes be lifted up towards heaven. Fill your minds
with good things. Remind yourselves of who I AM. Focus on the possibilities and
not in the impossibilities.
"Do you believe that I AM GOD, that nothing is impossible with Me? That I
Am able to work all things for good? That eyes have not seen, and ears have not
heard and mind cannot comprehend what I have prepared for those who love Me?
IF YOU DO, THEN REJOICE!
"Lift up those sad countenance and rest those weary heart. I have accepted
your offerings. I have taken it, and I will bring it back to you filled with ALL
MY GOODNESS, MERCY AND FAVOR.
" BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD IN THE MIDST OF YOU. "
A PRAYER
"Our Father in heaven, great and mighty God. Awesome, majestic, wonderful.
"Fill our hearts once more with a big dose of GRACE from heaven. Fill our
empty cups with more of You. Teach us to learn how to truly rest in You. Give us
the FAITH to trust that You will fulfill every promises that You've given to
each of us personally, to our children and their families, for our
ministries and even for our nations.
"We know that You are at work in our midst, and soon the earth will once
more be filled with Your Glory and that the glory of this present
house will be greater than the glory of the former house. (Haggai 2:9)
"Once more, we lay down everything at the feet of Jesus and there it will
stay henceforth. We pray all these by faith in our Savior's JESUS CHRIST name.
Amen!"
HABAKKUK 2:20
But the Lord is in His Holy temple; let all the earth hush and keep silence
before Him.
ZEPHANIAH 1:7
[Hush!] Be silent before the Lord God, for the day [ of the vengeance ] of the
Lord is near; for the Lord has prepared a sacrifice, and He has set apart [ for
His use ] those who have accepted His invitation.
ZECHARIAH 2:13
Be still, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused and risen from His holy
habitation.
PSALM 72:17-19
His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun

themselves by Him; all nations shall call Him blessed!
Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who alone does wondrous things!
Blessed be His glorious name forever; let the whole earth be filled with His
glory! Amen and Amen!
