^{In a single day I can change all things within the natural world. Can you not see My power
to transform? Look at the world on September tenth, was it  not a day as any other day?
There are those who have waited upon My hand  of  blessing only to see more need and 
greater desires. You have asked am I to be only a servant with stepchild status? Where is
 the prosperity promised? Why is it so easy for others yet, so very difficult for me to have 
even the substance of daily bread? Do you not know that you as My servants eat first from 
a higher table that will provide you with tables set before kings? My prophets and servants, 
already I have set all before you ... Freely reach forth and I shall not only feed the hungry 
but, I shall give the hungry their fill that they might then give drink in abundance to those 
who thirst. Moses had to first go into audience before Pharaoh and then he had to release
 the rod from his own grip before the signs followed. Today  I, the LORD say go forth 
release the rod and see. 1-24-2003}

^{LORD,
it is all Yours, in Jeus name.}

LORD, 
What is the rod that I must release? 

The rod for you is The WORDS you carry from Me. The rod is the authority you carry as leaders and fathers unto Israel. The rod is for chastening unto repentance, and correction of wrong steps before congregations. Through the winnowing of the wheat from the chaff the rod is the separator or divider of the sheep from the goats, and the chaff from the wheat. In your hand the rod will stagnant, just as the gifts I have given when they are not used. Throw down the rod and see it
bud into that which I've called and predestined you to be.  Release the rod. 

LORD, I release the rod. It is all Yours in Jesus name. 

1 Thessalonians 2
1)    For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain: 
2)    But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye 
know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with 
much contention. 
3)    For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: 
4)    But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; 
 not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 
5)    For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of 
covetousness; God is witness: 
6)    Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have 
 been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 
7)    But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: 
8)    So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, 
not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us. 
9)    For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because 
we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. 
10)    Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holly and justly and unblameably we behaved 
ourselves among you that believe: 
11)    As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father 
doth his children, 
12)    That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 

Exodus 3:21 
21)    And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that,
  when ye go, ye shall not go empty: (KJV)
