God Will Use The Most 'Unusual' People
On Earth To Bring Out Heaven's Best In You!
I have been in the same church for thirty years. I have been crucified
several times in my own church concerning my gifting and calling. But
I have discovered that where you get crucified is not very far from
where God raises you from the dead and confirms your calling.
Many times during these thirty years the Lord has used those in authority
over me and other members around me to reach out to give me advice concerning
my prophetic gifting. I did not realize at the time that this was the
Lord. I thought it was just man messing with me and my gift. I would
take it personally and think they must not like me. I would get hurt
and offended. Later on, I learned that this is how the Lord sharpens
us. He uses iron to sharpen iron, stones to smooth stones and people
to grind people.
There Is Nothing Wrong With
Your Gift; It Is From Me And It's Perfect
Have you ever seen a picture on a wall hanging a little crooked? Is
there anything wrong with that picture? There is nothing wrong with
the picture itself - it just needs to be adjusted to show its beauty
more gracefully. Have you noticed that a picture cannot adjust itself?
And neither can we. God uses the people around us to reach out to touch
our gifts and callings to ultimately bring out the best in us for Jesus
to be seen.
The Lord gave me revelation on this. He said, "Bill, there is nothing
wrong with your gift; it is from Me, and it's perfect. And there is
nothing wrong with you. You are complete in Christ...but you may need
to be adjusted!"
Through time, I've learned not to take it personally when the Lord would
use someone to reach out and give advice and "constructive criticism"
to me concerning my gift and calling.
God Uses Other People To Sharpen
Us And Our Gifts
The grinding we receive from other people sharpens us and our gifts.
I wouldn't mind it if God used someone perfect in my life to adjust
me. But God has chosen for some reason the most "unusual" people in
my life to do that. (I could describe these people in more detail, but
I would lose the anointing!)
We must realize that more than just refining our gift and calling, the
Lord is out to conform us to His image. Can you think of someone right
now whom you know was born with the destiny to grind you and irritate
you and rub you the wrong way? You actually need that person in your
life! (If you can't think of anyone, I have a list of names that I would
be glad to share with you.) No wonder God says to love even our enemies,
for He often uses them to shape us and drive us closer to Him...

"I Heard Heaven
Proclaim"
By Bill Yount

All of us can hear from Heaven for ourselves, but
some are called to share heavenly proclamations with the entire
Body of Christ. Here, Bill Yount shares many enlightening, vivid
word pictures that will challenge, instruct and edify you.
"Bill Yount's book
I Heard Heaven Proclaim will rock your
world and, capture your heart at the same time, to hear and
see part of our Master's plans for the days we live in. With
elation, I highly recommend the meditation and revelation contained

Heard Heaven Proclaim is a very unique book. Bill
not only enters into a dimension of spiritual awakening, but also
is able to communicate to us from the Throne Room. This book will
help many to understand that God longs to speak to us on a daily
basis and reveal Himself to us in unique and peculiar ways."
