The Lord taught me the value of the Kleenex Box Principle a few years ago while I was prophesying over one of our newest testers, Belicia Catherine Davila, at a meeting in Picton, Ontario, Canada.
Although I was used to delivering destiny words to others in one-on-one or small group settings, I found myself being stretched as she and her brother responded to my invitation to the teens in the congregation to come forward and receive a word from the Lord. (Thank you, Marilyn Reimers, for introducing me by saying: And now Pastor Jeeva will call some of you forward and prophesy over you…lol!)
As I silently waited for the Holy Spirit to give me a word for Belicia, the only thing I got was the picture of a water lily. So I began by releasing that picture to her. The moment I did that, the Lord showed me that although most people only saw her external beauty, she actually had deep roots that were invisible and that the environment (church and home) in which she had been planted played a huge part in her growth. When I released that revelation, then I saw a picture of her in a lab coat and the Lord started showing me how she would be involved in research in the medical field, etc. It turned out to be a powerful confirmation of the Father’s Love for Belicia.
As much as we would like the Lord to give us all the details in one shot, He often chooses to reveal our destiny one picture, one word, one revelation at a time. It could be because we could not handle it if He revealed it all to us in one fell swoop. It could be because He wants to see what we would do with the one thing He does give us and when He sees our obedience, He gives us the next piece of the puzzle. Can you think of any other reason why this is often the case?
The DWOD for Oct. 16 is simply this: Remember the Kleenex Box Principle. Begin with what the Lord gives you and watch as He honours your obedience by revealing more and more until you get the whole picture!
