VISION: HERBS ARRIVE

VISION: HERBS ARRIVE
2nd July 2006

Herbs arrived in bulk at the very doorsteps of churches. Most leaders of the fellowships thought that it was mere grass, remains from having mowed the lawn.
So these leaders dumped the Herbs, which they thought was ‘grass’ into large broken baskets.

People of God sniffed the aroma, and came in large numbers. ‘It’s Herbs!” they said.
The leaders of the church emphatically refuted that, “No, it’s grass”.

The church leaders did not want this ‘grass’, but when the people of God tried to take away the Herbs, the leaders started to protest.

‘THIS IS OUR GARBAGE!” They proclaimed, “It is our grass and it belongs to us, therefore it is not legal for you to take it.”

The broken basket full of Herbs had been cast aside on the street, for garbage collection.

The people of God did a test of the Herbs before the very eyes of the leaders. It was clear from the soil and Herb test that it did not come from the ‘church lawns’. So the people of God very firmly said to them, “ So you see, it’s not even your ‘ grass’ or ‘garbage’.

The People of God transported these Herbs by large trucks, trains and the many large earthen jars, lining the highway were filled with them.
Those traveling on the Highway, should they trip or hurt, could apply these Herbs on the injury and they would be instantly healed, and thereby be fit to continue their travel.

It was like a First-Aid Kit. The ultimate medication for travelers.

Isaiah 33: 20-24
Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he
will save us. Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey. And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

Isaiah 35:8-10
And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
