Needle in a Haystack
(Finding the True Prophetic amongst the Chaos)
While in prayer I was simply saying to the Lord how it seems finding a true word or a true vessel was like finding a needle in a hay stack. I was not expecting a response. “Do you know the best way to find a needle in a haystack?” Knowing He was going to show me something good I simply said, “How Lord?” He turned and by the power of His spirit He burned up the whole haystack. What remained lying in the ashes was a beautiful silver needle, untouched by the flames and in plain view. All that the flames accomplished was to bring it forth out of “hiddeness”. Then the Lord said, “I will NOW burn up this hay and that which has been chosen of me shall be revealed by burning up all that obscures. There will only be ashes remaining and that which is of me shall come forth in clarity and unharmed and as a silver needle lying in open view upon the ashes. The truth will be clear to find for those who hunger; and for those that have not, and do not enter in themselves and resist those who would; will be removed by this burning.
