When I was little I was given a gift, it was a Momma duck with three little ducklings
behind her. The toy was on a pull string with wheels under each duck and as you pulled
the string the momma duck quacked. I loved to hear that quacking. Then, I left that gift
behind. One day I got a glove, a softball, and a bat. I loved playing with them. The joy
of that gift became part of who I was and who I became. Then, one day I was given a
guitar. Picked it up strummed it a bit, but never did learn to play it. I thought it
was a beautiful gift, if only I would learn to play it. I was too busy doing other things rather than learning to play. I have been given great gifts and many, many gifts. I am blessed.
The Lord spoke to my yesterday and said “We are now entering a season of regifting". He
said I want you to pass on the gifts that I have given you. He said there are some of you
that need to put down that baby toy, like the pull ducklings, and take a more age
appropriate gift. He said that although you have much enjoyed that gift, I have more for
you. I have lots more for you. As you give your gift to another I will give you a new
gift.
There are some of you that see Me in all things and there are some of you that
long for the gift so you can see Me. For you that see, pass it on. There are those that desire to hear My voice and there are some of you that hear My voice, pass it on. There are those that want to talk to me but feel like they don’t know how and there are those that are so comfortable talking to Me in such a personal real way, I LOVE IT! Pass it on. There are those that know how to love unconditionally and still have boundaries, pass it on to others that are hurting because they don’t know how to love unconditionally. There are those that I have given the faith to believe and they have believed in spite of what they see, pass it on to those that feel like they are stuck in quicksand and they want to
stand on the Rock instead.
There are those that just can’t keep their patience and
those that have learned how to endure, pass on the gift of patience. There are those that
are filled with anger and desperately want peace, for those that have peace pass it on.
There are those that want to teacher, for the teachers that have been teaching, pass it
on. Step back and let them teach. There are those that long to just know what it is you
have, for you that have the infilling of Holy Spirit, pass it on.
You that have been given the gifts that will be passed along, do it special. This is a
special time of impartation. It is so very special. The gift you will be given will
be like if Soozy gave her softball glove. When her softball glove was new it was stiff,
but days of preparation, rubbing the oil on the glove and placing the softball in the
glove to form just perfectly to the ball made the glove a better than a new glove. Then,
Soozy would use the glove and the glove was part of her when the game was on. She
couldn’t have been the player she was without the glove.
If someone passes on a gift that
they love and have spent time with and the new person gets this gift, it is ready to
go. The glove will play just as well, as it did when Soozy used it. The only thing
different is the preparation has already been done. Just pick up your gift and use it.
If Soozy were to pass you her guitar, she would be passing you a guitar. No strings have
been strummed; no tuning has been done. No sounds have ever vibrated out of her guitar. She will not be able to pass on a gift she has not used or prepared. Have you used all the gifts given to you? You can not re-gift what you have not used.
As you do re-gift your gifts, I will not leave you without a gift. As you gift generously
and thoughtfully and obediently, so will I give unto you? I have a new work. It is time for it to be released. I have much to give. Just as I told you to give it in a special way, so
will I give to you in a special way. The time will be that you will know exactly what to
give and to whom to give. There are so many gifts to be given.
Listen and respond with
JOY! Some of you say I have already been doing this. Well, I am increasing you ability to give. I will pour into those the givers in a greater measure that ever before. You will flow with Me and people will see a new and exciting and fulfilling and wondrous level of being a Christian, one of My chosen.
This very day you will see new things.
