OLD POT.

This is a Word I had back in November 1996 - This had a big impact on the fellowship I was in at the time because of what a visiting pastor was about to preach on.

I feel that giving this to the body now is right thing to do for it will speak into what many people are now going through.

I can see a pot - Its a misshapen pot that is scratched and damaged.

This pot is not much good for anything except to be thrown away onto the rubbish heap for the clay has become hard - old and brittle.

The damaged pot is being picked up and put onto a potters wheel.

I can see the potters hands sprinkling water onto the damaged pot to soften the hardened clay.

The water that the potter is using is not like ordinary water for ordinary water would not soften clay that has gone hard and brittle - The water the potter is using is living water.

This living water beginning to soften the pot to make the clay new again so that the potter can make a new pot out of the clay The living water is making all things new.

I see the potter is now working on the now made new clay sprinkling more living water onto it as he does so.

A new and perfectly formed pot being made upon the wheel - A pot fit for the masters use - A pot ready to be filled with the very living water that the potter used to soften the old hard clay to bring life back to it.

This is what the Lord is going to do for his people - Do in this land that has for so long being hard against the Word of the Lord.

For the Lord would say unto you that I am going to make all things new in you - Make all things New in this land.

For the Lord is going to sprinkle his living water upon you - Upon this land to soften and make it ready for the masters hand to work on it - Just like that old pot.

For I am going to make all things new says the Lord.

Yes the Lord is making this land ready to pour out his spirit.

For this land shall once again be made fit for the masters use like the pot for I am a God of mercy.

For I will pick you up and make you into a pot ready for me to pour my Glory into you says the Lord - A pot fit for the masters use.

For the Glory of the Lord will cover the earth like the waters cover the sea.
