Bill Yount: "2007--A YEAR WHEN MANY 'CLASHING' RELATIONSHIPS WILL BE FULLY RESTORED!"

"The person who is least like you and sees things so differently, may be your best asset for your future purpose in God's Kingdom"

bill yount2007--A YEAR WHEN MANY "CLASHING" RELATIONSHIPS WILL BE FULLY RESTORED AND FORGED INTO "TWO-EDGED" SWORDS "FLASHING" IN THE SPIRIT! Proverbs 27:17

Proverbs 27:17, "You use steel to sharpen steel and one friend sharpens another."

In the coming year, I see many relationships that are now clashing, that will become flashing "two-edged" swords forged together by the Spirit to do exploits and bring great devastation to the camp of the enemy. I saw relationships that seemed totally against each other, being welded together as God's love was dealing a fatal blow to their egos. And "the way I see things," God is forging them into 'two-edged' swords to sever roots of the strongholds of division over families, churches, cities, and nations!

FRICTION BETWEEN OPPOSING RELATIONSHIPS WILL CREATE SYNERGY IN THE KINGDOM THIS COMING YEAR!

"Get ready--the person you don't like right now may become your best friend!"

Synergy: the interaction of two or more agents or forces, so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects. Synergy is the result of two people working out their differences together.

Through unparalleled troublesome times, many opposing relationships will be challenged to synergize together, forging relationships similar to "Jonathan and David" and "Ruth and Naomi" to experience covenant relationships that will affect the course of history!

Those in clashing relationships that differ in their convictions like day and night, but are willing to continue to walk together in love, will ultimately be the ones who discover the many facets of truth in God's word, and learn what truly pleases the King of Kings. I am not talking about what is clear cut in the word of God regarding sin. I am talking about those many gray areas that have been splitting churches and dividing friends forever.

Those who hang out with friends who seem to see eye-to-eye on everything and who never disagree, will not grow much this coming year. There is going to be a shaking and sharpening in all of us! Get ready--the person you don't like right now may become your best friend! The person you don't like may have the gift of healing for your sickness or affliction. As a result, the command to "love one another" will become a matter of life or death for some churches and individuals.

Have you ever met a person who seems to have an edge to them? Again, Proverbs 27:17, "You use steel to sharpen steel and one friend sharpens another."

IRON SHARPENS IRON, STONES SMOOTH STONES AND PEOPLE GRIND PEOPLE!

God may call the person who seems to grind you the wrong way to sharpen you. In reality, this person IS your friend! He knows they are destined to help conform you into the image of Jesus Christ--God's goal for your life!

I sense the enemy has been working overtime trying to convince many that you no longer need the irritation and grinding of certain people in your life. Be careful, the Lord may still be sharpening you. The person who is least like you and sees things so differently, may be your best asset for your future purpose in God's Kingdom.

The grinding may not take so long as your glaring differences clash and cut away at each other's views that are usually at best, a little off-centered from the Lord's perspective. Isaiah 55:8, "I don't think the way you think. The way you work isn't the way I work. For as the sky soars high above the earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think."

AGREEING TO ALLOW EACH OTHER TO DISAGREE IS A MAJOR STEP TOWARDS UNITY!

In many conflicts, I have found that the longer I was willing to stick it out during disagreements and personality differences, the easier it became to understand the person and why they are the way they are. The grinding, slowly but surely, gave way to a binding in the Spirit, where God could actually use us together "with" our differences more than if we were left by ourselves and our own convictions.

MANY RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE NOW "STRAINING" ARE ACTUALLY IN "TRAINING" FOR FUTURE SPIRITUAL WARFARE! Ephesians 4:2

Ephesians 4:2, "With all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love." To forbear means to hold oneself up against; to put up with; endure; suffer.

This picture of forbearing one another may look at first, like two people are standing up against each other in opposition. But they are actually holding themselves up against each other in order to hold each other up! Their body language is saying:

"I'm not going to let you go. You are not getting away from me just because we disagree! Even though you may be causing me to suffer right now, I know God is somehow using you in my life to grind me and sharpen me for a purpose. I am going to keep putting up with you, and forgiving you until I find out God's purpose in all of this."

Have you ever wondered how long you have to put up with someone who strongly opposes your convictions and disagrees with most everything you believe? God clearly tells us how long. Ephesians 4:13, "Until we all come into the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ!" That is just how long we need to forbear one another in love endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Many in difficult relationships, who realize their "straining" is being used for "training" for "reigning," will endure and become razor-sharp fatal weapons in spiritual warfare.

THE "JOHN MARKS" WHO HAVE BEEN REJECTED WILL BE WELCOMED BACK INTO MANY MINISTRIES THIS COMING YEAR! Acts 15:36

Acts 15:36-40, "And some days after Paul said to Barnabas, 'Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord and see how they do.'

And Barnabas determined to take with him John, whose surname was Mark. But Paul thought it was not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia and went not with them to the work.

And the contention was so sharp between them that they departed asunder one from the other; and so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus. And Paul chose Silas and departed being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God."

As Paul's life drew to a close, he writes to Timothy concerning Mark who he rejected. In 2 Timothy 4:11 (4-1-1 is the number you call or dial for information to find a person who you want to connect with), "Only Luke is with me. Take 'Mark' and bring him with you, for he is profitable to me for the ministry."

MANY MINISTRIES AND SPIRITUAL LEADERS WILL BE DIALING 4-1-1 THIS COMING YEAR...THE PHONE LINES WILL BE REALLY BUSY! 2 Timothy 4:11

Many ministries and certain spiritual Leaders will be discovering that some people in the past, who they thought were not cut-out to work along side of them in their ministry, will now be awakened to find out that these "John Marks" are profitable after all. These leaders who have been sharpened, and were being humbled by the Lord Himself through difficulties and hardships, will now be very willing to "call" for the "John Marks" to help them.

IN 2007--EVERYTHING IN YOUR MINISTRY IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE!

"Overlooked and unseen members of the Body will become the cornerstones in the coming move of God"

As with Hurricane Katrina, catastrophic events will continue to cause churches and fellowships to merge together. As these events increase, many in church leadership will be challenged to surrender their titles and positions preferring one another in servanthood. This kind of servanthood spirit coming upon leadership, will impart new life into the corporate Kingdom Body as the charisma is lifted off of the leaders resulting in every member of the Body becoming highly anointed and activated to do the work of the ministry.

Overlooked and unseen members of the Body will become the cornerstones in the coming move of God. As earth shaking events increase, churches will be shaken more and more like "salt shakers," as God's hand shakes the "salt of the earth" into the world for a great harvest! Some churches will be forced to move out into the streets, as sidewalks become their pulpits and gutters become their altars, and as buildings become less available while the shaking increases.

I SAW DIVORCE PAPERS BEING SHREDDED UP IN THE COMING YEAR!

Some marriage relationships that had separated and had even divorced, were still being grinded and dealt with by other people God was using in their lives. As these other people continued to grind down egos and selfishness, those in separated and even divorced marriage relationships, were awakened to their need of their forgotten love for their spouse. Their characters were sharpened to an "edge" that enabled them to shred up their divorce papers and return back together again!
