Connect the dots but be careful how you do it!

Connect the dots but be careful how you do it...
Mary Ann Wray

"But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come." John 16: 13
Connecting the dots coloring books were one of my favorite childhood pastimes. However, due to some vision challenges and math dysgrafia I needed help connecting the dots with more complex pictures.
My mom was the best assistant when it came to helping me out! However, when I tried to complete some of the more complex pictures on my own I became frustrated and disappointed with the results. I would invariably miss some of the numbers on the more challenging pictures. If I connected them as I saw them verses how they really were, the picture would end up being skewed!
Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that puzzle or are perplexing to our own understanding. It may seem like things around us or things we've been used to have become disconnected and unfamiliar. This usually happens in times of transition when God is getting ready to move us out of one season into the next or change our assignment.
However, we have to be careful how we see the circumstances or else we can connect spiritual dots in our lives and circumstances in a skewed way producing a different result than what the Father's Heart has for us - especially in times of transition. There is a human reasoning that seems right but can easily wind up with a disconnected and incorrect picture of the way things really are in the spirit realm. This can get us off track from the direction that God wants to take us. We only know in part and prophesy in part but Holy Spirit is the One who leads and guides us into ALL truth! He is our Paraclete and lives on the inside of us. We can trust His direction, even when it doesn't make sense to our mind.
Holy Spirit revelation provides clear vision, understanding, selfless love and Kingdom Advancement from the heart of Jesus and positions us to see more clearly. He always confirms His word out of the mouth of two or more witnesses.

The Whipping Post

The Whipping Post An Early Morning Revelation 1/17/19 By Mary Ann Wray “So then Pilate took Jesus and had Him scourged (flogged, whipped). And the soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on His head, and put a purple robe around Him; and they kept coming up to Him, saying [mockingly], “Hail, King of the Jews [Good health! Peace! Long life to you, King of the Jews]!” And they slapped Him  in the face .” John 19: 1-3 AMP   As I awoke this morning I had a quick vision. I saw Jesus’ back being torn to shreds by the cat of nine tails while he stood silently tied to a Roman Scourging Column. There He stood; totally innocent of any wrong doing and being punished for being righteous. He told me today “Write about the whipping post.” I asked, “Lord, why do you want me to write about the whipping post?” He said, “I want my people to see that it’s one thing to suffer for wrong doing but it’s another to suffer for love and righteousness. Many of my...

What if?

  November 14, 2020 Mary Ann Wray   What if?  These "What if" thoughts came to me while finishing dinner tonight...  Maybe God was trying to show me something. I don't know, but I believe we will certainly find out in His time. While some declare certain victory of their political candidate and others are still theorizing and prognosticating over what will take place, bitter words and divisiveness is being sown around daily like wild seeds. Meanwhile, I think the Father sits back on His throne shaking His head and even chuckling at our human efforts to make things right and/ or figure out the way things ought to be.... Scripture says that "God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts and His ways our higher than our ways!"  Here are some thoughts that came to me this evening.... I don't claim they were necessarily from God-maybe so, maybe not. On the other hand, these ideas are definitely not comfortable to my way of life! Here goes....

Paper Lies and the Law of Love

Paper Lies and The Law of Love… Mary Ann Wray I had a dream a while back where I was ministering the word of God to a congregation of people, when all of a sudden, little yellow pieces of paper (similar to post it notes) with legs began running out of the church towards the foyer door then out of the building. As the little papers with feet ran out of the building, people were being set free from bondages and the place was emptied out as the Holy Spirit washed over God’s flock with the word of the Lord. I asked the Lord what these pieces of paper were and He said, “Lies”.  You see, when God’s word is declared, that is free of ad-mixture, people can get liberated. The lies of the enemy, are like post-it notes.   They stick to our thinking and declare and decree things over us and to us that are untrue. They are half truths about God, ourselves and others. These “paper lies” seek to rule and dominate our thinking frustrating the flow of God’s grace and power...
