TO ACCESS HOLY SPIRIT’S VOICE (3): BE SPIRITUALLY LIGHT

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight,…
Hebrews 12:1 (KJV)

Accessing the voice of the Holy Spirit demands that we cast off every weight that seek to bring us down. To be spiritually light is to be rid of every spiritual weight that can weigh us down hindering us from accessing the voice of the Holy Spirit. What are these weights? Fear is a weight. II Timothy 1:7 says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear? but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” Fear is a spirit that can paralyze one causing the person to fail from faith. You are either in faith or in fear. Fear starts with doubts about Yahweh and His Word. You must lay aside fear if you desire to access the voice of the Holy Spirit. Worry is a weight. Philistines 4:7 (NET) says, “Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God.” Worry places upon your shoulders such burden of the issues of your life. But how far can you go carry heavy weights. That account why many are breaking down in health because a lot of issues are in their minds that they should lay down at the feet of the Master Yahushua. Matthew 11:28 says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Worry makes you weary. Yes, heavy burdens of life makes life weary. But you can heed the Master’s call today and lay it down. You cannot hear the voice of the Holy Spirit in the midst of worry.

TO ACCESS HOLY SPIRIT’S VOICE (2): BE JOYFUL

TO ACCESS HOLY SPIRIT’S VOICE (2): BE JOYFUL

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)

There is a spiritual climate that you must come into or maintain to be able to access the glorious voice of the Holy Spirit. Like we said yesterday, the Holy Spirit speaks and is willing to speak to you. The challenge is that you are not in His frequency to hear His glorious voice. That majestic voice demands that you function in joy. The foundation of an acceptable song before the Lord is joy; gladness of heart. The state of your heart is crucial to your spiritual frequency. Your spirit must function in the frequency of joy and gladness of heart. This joy comes from a vital relationship with the Lord. When you have joy, it is easy for songs to flow. The voice of His Majesty demand that there is a climate of praise. Isaiah 30:30 says “And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, …” You see when the conditions are met, the Lord does not withhold His voice. The challenge is that we are not diligent to get the conditions right. When will He cause His glorious voice to be heard? Only when you come to Him with a song and with gladness of heart! If there’s no gladness of heart, you become deaf to the voice of Yahweh. But when there’s gladness in your heart and a song in your mouth, then the Lord causes His glorious voice of direction to be heard. Let nothing take your joy from you. Hold fast unto it. Somebody once said, “Happiness is not found, it is created.” If you’re not a happy son of Yahweh, you will never be a winning son (see Deuteronomy 28:47-48).

TO ACCESS HOLY SPIRIT’S VOICE (1): BE IN THE SPIRIT

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Revelation 1:10 (KJV)

The Holy Spirit speaks. The challenge we have today is that we are not positioned in that place to access His glorious voice. Right now as you are reading this, there are radio waves in the air but you are not hearing anything because one you may not have the right kind of equipment to access the waves or you may even have the right equipment but it may not be powered on or even tuned into the frequency of the sound. So, you don’t only need the right kind of equipment or even having that equipment powered on, you also need to know how to tune your radio to the right frequency to be able to access the sound

KNOW YAHWEH’S LEADING (3): BY 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 God 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.

KNOW YAHWEH’S LEADING (2): BY THE INWARD VOICE

KNOW YAHWEH’S LEADING (2): BY 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.

KNOW YAHWEH’S LEADING (1): BY THE INWARD WITNESS

The Spirit itself (Himself) beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
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, the Bible. So any leading that you cannot point to scriptures that back it up or that expressly goes in contrast to the written Word is not from Yahweh. If you keep this in mind, then you would do well in the school of divine direction.

EXAMPLES OF DIVINE DIRECTION

EXAMPLES OF DIVINE DIRECTION

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
Exodus 13:17 (KJV)

We are going to see scriptural examples of divine direction and see what we can draw from them. When Yahweh brought Israel out of Egypt, He did not lead them through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. So you should be wary of shortcuts; they always cut short the lives of those who take them. The destiny of Israel would have been wasted had they taken the shortcut to Canaan which was the way of the land of the Philistines. Yahweh knows that some opportunities are traps in disguise, so you must trust Him that He knows what He is doing in your life. The journey may be long but it is better to finish alive than to arrive early as a corpse. Yahweh led Israel by the wilderness. Beloved, wilderness is not a palatable environment. The way Yahweh may lead you most times, may not be palatable but you can be sure that it is the way of life and peace.

WHAT IS DIVINE DIRECTION?

#WordForTodayDevotional

WHAT IS DIVINE DIRECTION?

So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
Deuteronomy 32:12 (KJV)

We established that Yahweh created man and placed him in Eden. Yahweh brought us forth from the womb into this world. That Yahweh has a purpose in mind for bringing me. Having come of age, I must seek to know the purpose for my making. Purpose is the original intention for the creation of a thing. Man was made to worship and praise Yahweh; to bring pleasure to Him. There is also specific purpose for each one of us. For instance, the purpose of the author is “To bring all people to maturity in their knowledge of HaMashiach, so they can begin to reign in life and ready for eternity. (see 1 Corin. 2:6-7)” When you understand your personal purpose, you seek the Lord to know the vision. Vision is the visual insight into where you are going to end up. Yahweh may show you the vision of the end of your life. From where you are to the end of the vision is where divine direction comes in. Divine Direction is the unfolding of the details of the “how” to go about achieving the vision Yahweh has given you. Divine Direction is receiving the instructions from Yahweh from time to time on the next step and moves to make in line with fulfilling your Yahweh-ordained vision.

BE WILLING TO BE LED

O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:Isaiah 48:18 (KJV)

Yahweh made man a free moral being. This means that you are free to make your choice in life. Even though Yahweh desires that nobody ends up in hell but He leaves each individual to make a choice of where he/she spends eternity. Even though Yahweh wants all to worship him, he still leaves each individual to make a choice whom to serve; this is why so many are serving Satan today. One thing with Yahweh is that He never violates man’s decisions especially as it concerns his/her life. It is Satan that forces and coerces. That is how to identify a Satanic religion. That religion that forces people against their will to belong or die is surely Satanic. Yahweh always present a choice to you and urges you to choose life. But He never forces you to choice life, you are very free to choose death (see Deuteronomy 30:15, 19; Joshua 24:15). What Elohim is saying today is that “I want to lead you but I cannot force myself on you. You must make the choice for divine direction and be willing for Me to lead you.”

BE INSTRUCTION MINDED

BE INSTRUCTION MINDED

Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
Proverbs 4:13 [KJV]

There are a lot of believers in HaMashiach that are only blessing minded. They are the Amen crew of believers; receiving blessings and echoing Amen and that ends it for them. But Yahweh has designed life to function on principles. There is a principle Yahweh established in Genesis 8:22: While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. It is the principle of Seedtime and harvest. Science decoded it and calls it the principle of cause and effect. This means that if harvest is your objective, then you must not ignore seedtime. This means that no matter how you shout Amen to a prophetic declaration, if that your Amen was the only action you took, you maybe heading to frustration if the outcome requires other input. For instance, until you give, you cannot receive. Giving is the seed that is required to be planted for the harvest of blessings to result. Luke 6:38 says, ‘Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.’ It is what you gave that a good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over is returned into your bosom. This is a principle of seedtime and harvest and it has no respect to whether you are born again or not. If you take this principle no matter who you are and diligently apply it, you will without fail, end at the supposed outcome.
