"A Vision of the Master's Cooking Pots"

A Vision of Different Cooking Pots
In a vision I was shown different color and sized cooking pots being distributed to a multitude of people. Many of these pots were large, like the kind you would cook stew in while others were smaller, perhaps the size used for cooking spaghetti noodles. Some of these pots were brand new while others were old and badly dented and worn. Several pots were blackened from being on the fire too often or too long. I began prophesying to the people concerning their pots
All of these pots came directly from the Master Potter Himself. Each one arrived at its destination clean and shiny and waiting to be utilized. The current condition of these pots were determined by its owners use. Some of them were still in their wrapper because their owner never opened the package. They were unwilling or afraid to use the gift God had given them and explore the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Others were unwrapped, but barely used and therefore sat on a shelf still looking new and unused. Fear of man and timidity set in the owner's heart allowing their soul to rule over their spirit. (Photo via Bonnie Jones/Lyn Kost)
Then there were ones that were dinged and dented. They looked like they had been through a war. As a matter of fact, they had been through many, many battles of war and came out victorious. They triumphed over the enemy and had the battle scars to prove it. Their owners were valiant and brave and fought the good fight of faith.
I saw many that were blackened and full of soot from being on the open fire. Their owners chose to stay the course.
When the battle got extremely hot they girded up their loins and marched forward into battle. They overcame the enemy by the Blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony. They feared not their life and unto the death they chose to stay in the furnace. All are called, but few choose to stay in the furnace.
For many are called, but few chosen. Matthew 20:16b
The owner's calling or anointing determined the size of their pot. Some were called to do little while others were called to do much. Therefore the greater the anointing, the bigger the pot. I took notice of their many different colors. Each color represented their anointing; blue for revelation, red for mercy, white for righteousness and silver for sanctification.
Interpretation: Stay the Course!
There were also new cooking pots being distributed to the owners that stayed the course and chose to stay in the fire.
Their old pot was hung up as a badge of honor and they were now being issued new ones. (My new cooking pot was very large white with red trim and had a lid to match. Therefor I am called to lead others the way of righteousness and truth in this next season and the Father is my covering.)
My questions to you are: What color is your cooking pot?
Has it been unwrapped yet? Does it still look brand new or is it being used? Is it dinged and dented or perhaps burned by the fire? It's always our decision to stay in the fire or turn back when the going gets tough. (Photo via pixabay)
The last will be first because they are the ones who choose to stay the course while the first will be last because they are the ones who turned and walked away.
So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen. Matthew 20:16
Be encouraged because the Master Potter is polishing His wares. He's an equal opportunity employer that plays no favorites. But He pays close attention to those who choose to follow after Him with a whole heart.

In a vision I saw a small sailboat on the glistening, moonlit water at night; it was just ready to leave shore. Just as everyone was boarding, a woman ran back to take care of her unfinished business. The people cried out to her with a warning: "The boat is leaving now!" She continued on her way while the boat drifted away from shore.
Faith is lifting our sails in this day as the Holy Spirit of Truth is leading us. No longer can we follow after agendas, patterns, and formulas; we must be totally reliant on the Holy Spirit to guide us. 
So Elijah left there and found Elisha son of Shaphat, whose plowing was being done with twelve yoke of oxen, and he drove the twelfth. Elijah crossed over to him and cast his mantle upon him. He left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, "Let me kiss my father and mother, and then I will follow you." 
The Error Of Balaam For Profit: Balaam was a soothsayer who mixed truth with false doctrine. His error was greed, or covetousness, because he was paid well to bring a curse upon the people of Israel. God's anger was kindled against him when he disobeyed Him and later withstood the Angel of the Lord three times. Balaam repented and brought the word of the Lord, refusing to curse Israel (see Numbers 22-23). 
The Body of Christ has come to a crossroads in time, a juncture on their heavenly journey in the Lord. Each one must decide for themselves which way to go. Some will want to turn back for fear of the unknown, yet others will proceed in faith.
