    HOW TO TRAIN YOUR SPIRIT TO RECOGNIZE HIS LEADING (3): GIVE THE WORD FIRST PLACE

    My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Proverbs 4:20 (KJV)

    Train your spirit to give the Word first place in your life. It has to be a conscious effort until it becomes your lifestyle. In every and any situation, train yourself to ask what does the Word say and do it. In your life, if you can follow the Word to the letter, you can never go wrong or be in a fix in your life. In any situation that may come, just be diligent to do what the Word instructs and with utmost guarantee you will come out on the other side in victory. Even if you never heard any voice of the Holy Spirit in your entire lifetime, the Word is the most authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit and if you can give the Word first place in your life, you can be assured that you would always win. Proverbs 4:21-22 says, ‘21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.’

    Yahweh says in this passage, “… Attend to my words [Give heed to them—Put them first]; incline thine ear unto my sayings [Listen to what I have to say]. Let them not depart from thine eyes [Keep looking at the Word of Yahweh]; keep them [my Words] in … your heart.” There are rich dividends for doing this. Why is it that Yahweh tells us to put His Word first, and to listen to what He has to say, to keep looking at His Word, and to keep His Word in our heart? It is because “… they [His Words] are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh.” The margin of the King James says the word translated health is the Hebrew word for medicine. Yahweh’s Word is “medicine to all their flesh.” There is healing in the Word.

    King Asa died because in his pride, he would not put the Word first. II Chronicles 16:12 shows us that even in his sickness, he didn’t seek the Lord. That is a recipe for death. It is not wrong to consult medical doctors/personnel but put the Word first and see if you would still require the services of those people. We should train ourselves to ask ourselves concerning any matter, “What does Yahweh’s Word have to say about this?” We should ask ourselves what Yahweh has to say about anything that may come up in our life—and then put that Word first. Sometimes family and friends will try to rush you into things—but you need to think about what the Word of Yahweh says. Put Yahweh’s Word first in every area of life. Yahushua HaMashiach is either Lord of all or He is not Lord at all. If He is Lord, then put His Word first. Whenever they obeyed His instruction in His earthly ministry, they always returned with testimony. Train your spirit to put the Word of Yahweh first then you would be able to recognize divine direction.

    REMEMBER: Giving the Word first place guarantees results.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I receive grace to give your Word the first place in my life in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I command that situation mocking the Lordship of Yahushua HaMashiach over your life expired now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO TRAIN YOUR SPIRIT TO RECOGNIZE HIS LEADING (2): PRACTICE THE WORD

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    HOW TO TRAIN YOUR SPIRIT TO RECOGNIZE HIS LEADING (2): PRACTICE THE WORD

    But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. James 1:22 (KJV)

    The essence of reading, studying and meditating on the Word is to do it. It would be an exercise in futility to read, study and meditate on the Word and refuse to do the Word. Even though it has been proved that you cannot be diligent in reading, studying and meditating on the Word without being a doer of the Word because the Word has inherent in it the power to compel obedience. That is why the greatest battle is to read, study and meditate on the Word because the devil knows that if you can diligently get the Word into your spirit, it will compel obedience. You must make up your mind that the Word is your life. Your life and the Word must come into an irrevocable covenant that nothing can ever divorce you both. Your aim must be to come to the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Word of Yahweh (see Ephesians 4:13). Let me show you the process the Word of Yahweh follows to produce in you what it talks about. The Word when received and believed in the good soil of your heart, produces a reaction that is called faith. This spiritual reaction literally moves you to do what the Word talks about which commits Yahweh’s integrity to perform what He has spoken.

    Isaiah 6:10 says, ‘Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.’ If you can hear with your ears the Word of Yahweh and can see it that is imagine, mutter and meditate until light breaks out on you. This light is the understanding of the heart and will compel and move you to do that Word which will inevitably result in your testimony and change of story. So, for the Word to fail to be practised means that you have not heard it enough and have not seen it, that is the light of the Word has not broken on you, producing lack of understanding of the Word in your heart, all resulting in you not being able to do the Word of Yahweh. If you see the truth of this process, you will never again fail to give all the diligence required to hear, see and understand the Word of Yahweh.

    Matthew 13:23 shows us the place of understanding in doing the Word and the results. “But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” The difference in their output is understanding. The same Word, the same good ground of the heart but understanding made the outcome to vary. Understanding here talks about the level of insight each one had in the Word received. Beloved, you will not have any challenge doing the Word, only if you can see it. May the eyes of your spirit/heart be flooded with rays from heaven (be enlightened) that you may know what is the hope of your calling! (see Eph.1:17-19).

    REMEMBER: Doing the Word is training your spirit to recognize divine direction.

    CONFESSION: The eyes of my heart is flood with rays from heaven producing in me exactly what the Word talks about. Hallelujah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I command the eyes of your heart to be enlightened now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO TRAIN YOUR SPIRIT TO RECOGNIZE HIS LEADING (1): MEDITATE ON THE WORD

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday DECEMBER 20, 2023

    HOW TO TRAIN YOUR SPIRIT TO RECOGNIZE HIS LEADING (1): MEDITATE ON THE WORD

    Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
    Colossians 3:16 (KJV)

    In the school of divine direction, the Word of Yahweh is the constant. Everything is measured against the written Word. The Voice of the Holy Spirit you are yearning to hear is the same voice that wrote the scriptures. If you are not acquainted with the voice of scriptures, you are in big soup trying to access the authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit. The truth is that the Holy Spirit will lead you from the pages of scriptures most times. Psalms 29:3 says, ‘The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the Yahweh of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters.’ Ephesians 5:26 says, ‘That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,’. So the Word is the spiritual waters and the voice of Yahweh is upon the waters. Rhema is the quickened Word of Yahweh from the Logos the written Word. So if you are far from the scriptures you deny yourself the major environment upon which you can access the voice of Yahweh.

    Joshua 1:8 says, ‘This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.’ Reading, studying and meditating on the Word is the way to train your recreated human spirit to understand the authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit when it comes. You must be a Word addict to grow up as a son of Yahweh. Sonship connotes coming to the understanding of your Father’s will and the Word is the Will of Yahweh. You can never grow into sonship without an addiction to the Word of Yahweh and until you grow up into sonship, divine direction is not for you. This is very crucial. Let the Word of Christ dwell richly in all wisdom in you so you can train your spirit to know how that voice sounds and what that voice can say and cannot say. For instance, the voice of the Holy Spirit can never reveal to you that you are gay and should marry your fellow man. If you see a vision or hear any voice suggesting that to you, if you are acquainted with the voice of the Holy Spirit in the scriptures, you can quickly know that the Holy Spirit can never speak such thing to you.

    To meditate among others is to mutter. In fact, the Hebrew word is hagah, which means to murmur in pleasure or anger. By implication, that means to ponder, imagine, mutter, roar. To murmur is to repeat something to yourself softly. That is what you are to do with the Word of Yahweh. Speak the Word to yourself softly and indistinctly under your breath. That is how to train your spirit to recognize the leading of the Holy Spirit. Start today and have a schedule to read, study and meditate on the Word. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: An addiction in the Word is required to train your spirit to recognize His leading.

    CONFESSION: The Word of Yahweh is my life. I believe what it says about me in all areas. There is a word for me in the pages of scripture that tackles every issue that may confront me. I am an addict to the Word and it’s training me into sonship. Glory be Yahweh!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Whatever is forming a distraction to the Word is blasted in your life today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW YAHWEH LEADS (5): VISIONS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday DECEMBER 19, 2023

    HOW YAHWEH LEADS (5): VISIONS

    And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.Acts 16:9 (KJV)

    Vision in this context is the experience where Yahweh opens your eyes to see something while your eyes maybe open or closed. Open vision is where your physical eyes are not closed but you see into the spiritual realm. Visions can come while you are sleeping or while you are awake. Yahweh does not lead us through vision primarily. Visions come as confirmation of what Yahweh is telling us on our inside. Visions are never to lead the church. Visions are judged by the Word of Yahweh just like prophecy. The coming of the Holy Spirit sparked off an era of visionary encounters. Acts 2:17 says, ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith Yahweh, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:’

    The Lord would lead unbelievers through visions because they do not have the Holy Spirit living in them. We saw this in the life of Cornelius. Acts 10:1-3 says, ‘1 There was a certain man in Cæsarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 2 A devout man, and one that feared Yahweh with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to Yahweh always. 3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of Yahweh coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.’ Cornelius was a devout man, but he was not born again. He did not know about Yahushua. He was a Jewish proselyte. The angel who appeared to him in this vision could not preach the gospel to him. Yahweh did not call angels to preach the gospel; Yahweh called men to preach the gospel. However, the angel did tell Cornelius where to send for someone who could preach the gospel to him and tell him how to be saved.

    After Paul saw that vision in our opening text, there was an inward witness that all of them seem to have agreeing that the vision is a direction from Yahweh. This is very important. Never run with any vision in which you do not have an inward witness about. Yahweh is not an author of confusion. If a vision is agitating your mind; if a vision has taken away your peace, then discard that vision. One of the ways we recognize that inward witness is the attendant peace which passes all understanding that follows. Acts 16:10 says, ‘And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.’ “Assuredly gathering” was that inward Witness. For the recreated human spirit, vision is not the primary way Yahweh leads you, however, a vision confirms the leading and sheds more light on what to expect concerning what Yahweh has already told you. Do NOT seek vision. Visions come at the discretion of the Lord. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Always judge every vision by the Word and the Inward Witness.

    CONFESSION: My Father is committed to leading me. I do not seek visions but if the Holy Spirit deem fit to show me a vision, glory be to the Lord. Hallelujah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: May your eyes be opened to see what Yahweh has in store for you in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW YAHWEH LEADS (4): PROPHECY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday DECEMBER 18, 2023

    HOW YAHWEH LEADS (4): PROPHECY

    And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; Ephesians 4:11 (KJV)

    There is a spiritual gift of prophecy (see I Corinthians 12:10) and there is the office of the prophet or the ministry gift of the prophet. The spiritual gift of Prophecy is simply speaking to exhort the brethren. It does not involve foretelling. I Corinthians 14:3 says, ‘But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.’ Anyone that is filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues can be used to prophesy. Apostle Paul encouraged believers to desire the gift of prophecy (I Corinthians 14:1). Then we have the office or ministry of the prophet. For one to function in the office of the prophet, he would have to have the gift of discerning of Spirit, the gift of the Word of Knowledge, the gift of the Word of Wisdom and the gift of prophecy at work in his life. The ministry of the prophet involves foretelling. Prophecy in whatever form is not the way Yahweh leads. Prophecy is only to confirm what the Lord has already told you by the inward witness. The Lord didn’t place prophets in the New Testament to lead Christians.

    There is a difference between the Old Testament saints and the New Testament saints. While in the Old Testament, prophets were Yahweh’s consulting centres. Anyone that wants to know the will of Yahweh would go to consult the prophet. This is because the people did not have the Holy Spirit. In the Old Testament, there are three people that are anointed to stand in their various offices – The King, the Priest and the Prophet. The prophet hears from Yahweh and relates to the people. This has changed in the New Testament. In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit has fallen on the people, now living in their recreated human spirits. The Holy Spirit now leads the people through the Inward Witness. So you are no more to go to the Prophet to hear from Yahweh for you. The primary way Yahweh speaks to you now is by the inward witness of the Holy Spirit. The New Testament prophet can confirm the Word that the Lord already gave you by the Inward Witness.

    Pa Hagin told of an experience that happened to him along this line. He knew a young man in his church that he has an inward witness that Yahweh was calling the young man to the ministry. But he never did tell him a word. But on a particular Sunday evening service as they were praying around the alter; he would go round to pray upon the members as the Holy Spirit would lead him. He came upon this young man and these words came out of his mouth, “This is a confirmation of what I said to you at 3 o’clock this afternoon as you were praying down in the storm cellar. You asked for a confirmation and this is it. That was Me speaking to you.” After the service Pa Hagin checked on the young man to know if he was praying down the storm cellar this afternoon and he confirmed it. So prophets are to confirm what Yahweh has already told you. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Prophecy should confirm what you already received by the inward witness.

    CONFESSION: My Father talks to me in His Word and by the Inward Witness. I do not seek to hear Him from prophecy as the way He is leading me, rather, prophecy confirms what He already told me. Hallelujah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every evil seed that has been sown into your life by contact with fake prophets is uprooted now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW YAHWEH LEADS (3): THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday DECEMBER 17, 2023

    HOW YAHWEH LEADS (3): THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

    While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
    Acts 10:19 (KJV)

    The Holy Spirit speaks. The voice of the Holy Spirit is more authoritative than the voice of our own spirit. The Voice of the Holy Spirit is often heard when there is rough sailing ahead. That voice comes to steady you in the path of destiny, so that you are not shaken with the waves. In our opening text, Apostle Peter saw a vision of a vessel coming down from heaven and dropped right before him. In this vessel were all kinds of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. Then a voice came to him “Rise Peter, kill and eat” (see Acts 10:13). Apostle Peter retorted by saying “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.” (Acts 10:14). Then the voice told him “What Yahweh has cleansed, that call not thou common.”(vs 15). This whole drama was done thrice and the vessel was taken up to heaven. While Peter thought on this vision, the Holy Spirit spoke to Him the words we read in our opening text. That authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit gave Peter the required impetus to venture into that strange waters of ministry. That authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit was already going to give him the boldness to answer his critics who believe that the gentiles are not supposed to hear the gospel.

    The Holy Spirit speaks. Even though the authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit is not the primary way Yahweh leads us, He speaks when the occasion demands it to give you triple assurance on that step that needed to be taken. In those cases most times it would have been difficult to stay the course if the Holy Spirit did not speak in such manner. In Acts 8:29, ‘Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.’ This is another example where the task was daunting and it would have taken the authoritative voice of the HOLY SPIRIT to initiate action. Philip was directed to the desert by the angel of the Lord (that is the expression for the Holy Spirit). When he arrived in the desert, he saw the chariot of an officer of Ethiopian queen, then the Holy Ghost said to him, “Go near and join thyself to this chariot.” It was a tough decision to make just under an inward witness alone. That action needs the boldness that only the authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit imparts. So it is not an every day thing. Some people heard that voice only once in their life time. The primary way Yahweh leads us is through the inward witness. Never seek voices. The Holy Spirit speaks at His discretion. Those that heard the authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit did not seek it. Selah!

    REMEMBER: The voice of the Holy Spirit comes at the discretion of the Holy Spirit. Don’t seek it.

    CONFESSION: I am born of Yahweh. I belong to the family of Yahweh. The Holy Spirit lives in me in His fullness. He has the liberty to speak to me at any time in such a way that He deems fit. Glory to His Name!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Anything blocking your access to the voice of the Holy Spirit is uprooted today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW YAHWEH LEADS (2): THE INWARD VOICE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday DECEMBER 16, 2023

    HOW YAHWEH LEADS (2): THE INWARD VOICE

    I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
    Romans 9:1 (NASB)

    The second way Yahweh leads us is through the inward voice. The Inward Voice is the voice of your recreated human spirit. It is called the conscience. Your recreated human spirit picks information from the Holy Spirit and repeats that through your conscience. The Holy Spirit dwells in your recreated human spirit and it is in there that He speaks. So your spirit picks up what the Holy Spirit is saying and repeats it. This is why quietness is very critical to picking that inward voice. The Inward Voice is often the school master and it is important that you keep it tender. You can sear your conscience. When you do wrong, it is not the Holy Spirit that condemns you. It is the Inward Voice that tells you “hey that is wrong”. So, to keep your conscience tender, always repent at its rebuke. When you continue to disregard your conscience, then at a time, it will go dead not speaking and correcting you any more. That is a situation of seared conscience. Don’t ever violate your conscience.

    Apostle Paul says, that his conscience was bearing him witness in the Holy Ghost. That is how the Lord leads. On whatever you are seeking Yahweh for direction for, ensure that your conscience is bearing you witness before you go ahead. Stay action and continue to wait on the Lord until you get that witness of your conscience. When your conscience bears you witness concerning anything, then you can go ahead to commence action. Remember that the primary way Yahweh leads us is by the inward witness. In the first place, you already have the inward witness, then you can see the witness of your conscience, you are good to go. These things require training. You are not going to be an expert over night, but as you continue to walk with the Holy Ghost and to pray in the tongues of the Spirit more often, you would begin to notice that witness stronger and stronger. “My conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost” says Apostle Paul. This is very crucial.

    No matter how wicked a person is, his conscience speaks to him. That is how the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, through the voice of our conscience. You maybe doing hard man, but on your inside, you are dying with guilt. Your conscience is flogging you with invisible cane. Talking about those without the law, Apostle Paul says that “their conscience also bearing them witness,” (see Romans 2:15). Now when you are born again and you became a new creation, the presence of the Holy Spirit in your spirit gives your conscience the authority as a guide. As you keep yourself submitted to the Lordship of the Holy Spirit, He bears witness in your conscience and you can know exactly what Yahweh wants you to do in even the very minute detail of your life. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Your conscience picks up what the Holy Spirit says and repeats it to you.

    CONFESSION: The Holy Spirit is in me in all His fullness. My conscience is alive and tender and bears me witness by the Holy Spirit living in me, therefore, I always know what to do. Glory be Yahweh!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every calculation of hell to defile your conscience is roasted now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW YAHWEH LEADS (1): THE INWARD WITNESS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday DECEMBER 15, 2023

    HOW YAHWEH LEADS (1): THE INWARD WITNESS

    The Spirit itself (Himself) beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of Yahweh: Romans 8:16 (KJV)

    When we talk about divine direction, so many people have this erroneous inclination that Yahweh would come and write in the sky or call them by name. From today, to some couple of days to come, we are going to x-ray how Yahweh actually leads. Expecting Yahweh to lead you in ways other than His approved way will expose you to the dangers of the spiritual realm. In the spiritual realm, Yahweh and Satan operates. Some are being led by Satan while all the time thinking that they are being led by Yahweh. The reason was that they sought divine leading in ways other than the Bible approved ways. The rule of the game is that all leadings must be scrutinized by the lens of the Word of Yahweh the Bible. Yahweh is never going to lead you contrary to the Word of Yahweh. So any leading that you cannot point to scriptures that back it up or that expressly goes in contrast to the written Word of Yahweh is not from Yahweh. If you keep this in mind, then you would do well in the school of divine direction.

    Yahweh leads us primarily by the inward witness. When you surrender you heart to the Lord Yahushua, how do you know that you are saved? You just know it. Right on your inside, you know that you are saved. People may see you and mock you that you cannot be saved, but that doesn’t perturb you because right on your inside you just know that you have made that transition and translation from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of Yahweh’s dear Son Yahushua HaMashiach. The most crucial event of your life is the salvation of your soul and if Yahweh lets you know that you are saved by the inward witness, then that is exactly how Yahweh is going to lead you on any other issue of your life. You may get confirmation from prophecy from your pastor or brethren of what Yahweh has already witnessed to you in your heart. The rule of the thumb is don’t accept anything anybody tells you that you do not have the witness on your inside.

    When you gave your life to HaMashiach, He quickened your spirit. Inward witness is the Holy Spirit bearing witness with your recreated human spirit concerning the issue you are seeking direction for which is always accompanied with peace. If it’s an action, you may just have that witness to go ahead to do it with such peace that you cannot explain. You may also feel uneasy to act which is Yahweh telling you not to do it. As you grow in your relationship with the Holy Spirit, you will begin to understand these things. Remember Yahweh only leads sons not children (see Romans 8:14). So you need to grow up in the things of Yahweh to understand Yahweh’s leading to you. However, the inward witness is the primary way Yahweh leads us. Right in your spirit man, you would have that witness. Remember that the inward witness is a supernatural leading just that it is not spectacular. Don’t go for the spectacular and miss the supernatural. Pay attention to the inward witness. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: That knowing in your spirit called the inward witness is the primary way Yahweh leads us.

    PRAYER: Sweet Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word to me today. I ask that you help me to recognize and follow the inward witness in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Receive sensitivity of spirit to recognize the Inward Witness in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • CHECK IF YOU QUALIFY TO BE LED (7): ARE YOU IN WORSHIP/PRAISE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday DECEMBER 14, 2023

    CHECK IF YOU QUALIFY TO BE LED (7): ARE YOU IN WORSHIP/PRAISE

    Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel.
    Isaiah 30:29 (KJV)

    It is a spiritual reality that having a song facilitates hearing from Yahweh. At a point, the prophet Elisha needed to know what Yahweh was saying to the kings that came to inquire of the Lord about the journey they were to undertake. In II Kings 3:15 Prophet Elisha requested that a minstrel be brought to him and as the minstrel played the hand of the Lord came upon the Prophet and he prophesied. Praise is Yahweh’s habitat. When praise is available the presence of Yahweh is invoked and when Yahweh is available, then His voice can be heard. Anyone that desires to get divine direction must strive to provide the atmosphere for the presence of Yahweh. You must run away from any form of gloom, anger, boredom, depression and weariness. These are enemies of Yahweh’s presence. Do you know that in the ancient times, you dare not appear before a king with sad face. That is automatic death sentence. It is considered as treason. How are kings welcomed? By singing and dancing and rejoicing. Earthly kings learnt those protocols from Yahweh. You cannot have access to the presence of Yahweh with a gloomy heart and face. You want direction from Yahweh? Then you need to enter His presence first.

    Psalms 100:4 says, ‘Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.’ The pass code to the presence of the Lord Yahweh is coming with a grateful, thankful heart. Then go ahead to sing and dance before Yahweh. In the midst of your celebration of Yahweh, the heavens will open and the voice of Yahweh concerning what you are asking will be known. Just know that sadness, gloominess and depression will lock you out of Yahweh’s presence and ultimately out of divine direction. Our opening text says that a song is one of the rituals of a holy solemnity. A holy solemnity is that moment when you are serious and in a reverence mode before the Lord. If you desire to come into that mode of holy reverence with a serious consciousness before the Lord, then you come with a song. Then it says “and gladness of heart as when one goes with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord”. That means that coming into the mountain of the Lord requires gladness of heart and a pipe/organ/ or any instrument of music.

    These are divine protocols and in the school of divine direction, you must master these in order to arrive at your desire of hearing and understanding the leading of the Lord. So check yourself today, if you qualify to be led by Yahweh. Are you given to gladness of heart? Do you always have a song especially in the night? You have seen that being solemn involves having a song not a tight face. We have missed it for so long. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Gladness of heart and a song is a must to hear the voice of Yahweh.

    CONFESSION: Joy unspeakable full of glory is the level I function by the power of the Holy Spirit. No room for sadness, gloominess and depression. I live on the mountain top of life 24/7. Glory to the Father!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree a change in your situation today. Whatever brings you under the yoke of depression is cursed today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • CHECK IF YOU QUALIFY TO BE LED (6): DO YOU HAVE PRECONCEIVED OPTIONS?

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday DECEMBER 13, 2023

    CHECK IF YOU QUALIFY TO BE LED (6): DO YOU HAVE PRECONCEIVED OPTIONS?

    Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
    Ezekiel 14:3 (KJV)

    Ezekiel 14:4 says, ‘Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Yahweh; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;’ Yahweh is saying that don’t come to seek for my direction if you already have option in your heart. You have decided what to do then you come to the Lord and say “Lord, what do you want me to do about so so and so?” Meanwhile, you have already made up your mind on what you are doing. That attitude blocks you from ever accessing divine direction. You must come to the Lord with open mind like a baby who truly does not know what to do concerning the area you are seeking direction from Yahweh. Yahweh says, if you have your preconceived ways and you come to make a fool of Yahweh, then He will make a fool of you. He will answer you according to your heart. You know what that means? He will okay whatever you have made up your mind to do even if it will take your life, He would not disturb you. He is answering you according to your heart.

    You must understand that Yahweh sees what is going on in your heart. He is hearing what you are saying but He is also seeing what is going on in your heart. You are saying one thing but another thing is in your heart. “Let me just finish this prayer, I know what I am going to do”. Yahweh is also watching you and saying, “You can just go and do that thing in your heart because I am not going to say anything to you, it would be a complete waste of time.” A couple of men came to prophet Jeremiah and asked him to inquire of the Lord Yahweh for them whether they should go down to Egypt or stay in the land of Israel at a time when the person the king of Babylon placed on the throne was murdered with Chaldean soldiers. So the men sent Prophet Jeremiah to inquire of the Lord for them, they said “That the Lord thy Yahweh may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.” (see Jeremiah 42:3) The Prophet obliged them and took their matter to Yahweh. When Yahweh told them through Prophet Jeremiah what to do, because they already had options, they rebelled (see Jeremiah 43:1-7).

    Having already determined what you want to do in any issue, don’t bother to ask Yahweh because He would answer you according to your heart and it may not be the best for you. So always come before Yahweh bare as someone that truly wants to know what to do and when you have that witness in your spirit, you go ahead and hearken to the instruction. That is the way to go. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Always come with a true heart before Yahweh not having any alternative at all.

    CONFESSION: I am always your baby my Lord and King. I don’t know what to do and where to go. I totally depend on you to lead me to the green pastures of life. I shall not miss you because you are committed to leading me. Glory to Your Holy Name!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: That thing in you that makes you feel that you are sufficient on your own ability without Yahweh is cursed today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen.
