PROFITS OF DIVINE DIRECTION (3): EASE OF OPERATIONS

#WordForTodayDevotional

PROFITS OF DIVINE DIRECTION (3): EASE OF OPERATIONS

And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
Mark 11:4 (KJV)

There is supernatural ease of operations when you are in divine plan, following divine leading. Things work on their own accord. You don’t stress yourself, yet you see results that human efforts cannot deliver within such time frames. One of the things to see and check if you are in divine plan is when there is unnecessary struggling, toiling and sweating to achieve what Yahweh is saying to you. If Yahweh says it, then He moves ahead of you to make the crooked places straight before you. In Mark 11:1-7, we saw the Lord Jesus giving two of His disciples an assignment to go bring the colt. The instruction was so precise and when they followed that leading, struggling and sweating was eliminated. They didn’t have to speak long grammar to bring the colt; there was ease of operations. The only problem is can we just be diligent to follow His leading? Can we just jettison our ideas and plans and follow His leading? When we do, the Word declares, ‘2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: 3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the Yahweh of Israel.’ (Isaiah 45:2-3).

The Lord led Philips to the desert and commanded him to join the chariot of an Ethiopian eunuch (see Acts 8:26-40). If you read that account you would see the ease of operations when the Spirit of Yahweh is leading you. This truth is consistent in the whole of the scriptures. There is always Yahweh going before you to make the crooked places straight. Protocols are broken when you follow divine direction. Hearts are willing to comply with you when you follow divine direction. When Solomon was following Yahweh’s plan for his life, he had peace. There was quietness, assurance and prosperity throughout Israel because Solomon was walking in love with Yahweh. But time came when he started walking outside of Yahweh’s plan for His life and the Word says that Yahweh raised adversaries for him (see I Kings 11:14). The Lord stirred up adversary unto Solomon. So, in life, when you are challenged, it is wisdom to check yourself, if you are walking in Yahweh’s will and following divine direction. If you are losing in life in any direction, sit down and count your steps and see if you are missing Yahweh on any direction.

When Jacob was coming back to Canaan following divine direction of Yahweh that asked him to return, the Word says, ‘And they journeyed: and the terror of Yahweh was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.’ (Genesis 35:5). Because he was walking in divine direction, there was ease of operations and safety by the terror of Yahweh.

REMEMBER: When Yahweh leads you, He goes before you to straighten the crooked places.

PRAYER: Beloved Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I receive grace to access your plan and to walk step by step in your direction as you go before me for ease of operations in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree every crookedness in your life straightened out today by the power of the Holy Spirit in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROFITS OF DIVINE DIRECTION (1): SUPERNATURAL PRESERVATION

#WordForTodayDevotional

Wednesday DECEMBER 27, 2023

PROFITS OF DIVINE DIRECTION (1): SUPERNATURAL PRESERVATION

He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
Deuteronomy 32:9 (KJV)

There are immense profits in following divine direction. We shall explore a few within a couple of days from today. There is nobody that obeys the Lord Yahweh at a loss. When Yahweh leads you in a particular direction, He takes the extra step of dispatching angels to protect you along that path. No force in hell can stop a man who has discovered the plan of Yahweh for his life and is pursuing it, as angelic forces are on hand to fight on his behalf, to cut off any adversary that dares to come near. Exodus 23:20, 22-23 says, ‘20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. 23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.’ The job of the angel assigned to you is to keep you in the way and to bring you into your destiny. He monitors the divine plan handed over to you and ensures that it is realized. He clears off any opposition that may want to obstruct you.

This was the great secret of the conquest and conquering might of king David. He always hear Yahweh’s leading on any expedition. Consequently, Yahweh ensures that he is preserved. Yahweh goes before the led to preserve him/her. You are literally indestructible both to human and satanic powers. Yahweh’s leading brings you to operate as a Yahweh on earth. This was also evident in the life of Moses. Moses, literally terrorised Egypt and no one could arrest him or even thought of killing him because when Yahweh is leading you, He goes before you to make the crooked places straight. He becomes an adversary to your adversaries. Everyone that opposes you en route destination of Yahweh’s leading faces divine vengeance.

Ezra 8:31 says, ‘Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our Yahweh was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.’ This is always the testimony of Yahweh’s leading. This was literally an impossible journey to attempt with all the treasures that they carried without royal security escort. But when a man is working under divine direction, heaven deploys angelic escort to ensure you are protected and preserved en route the assignment. Beloved, get into divine direction and see what peace and rest will be yours by virtue of supernatural preservation around you and yours. Selah!

REMEMBER: There is supernatural preservation in walking in divine direction.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask for the grace to be on key with your direction in every department of the my life hence qualifying for supernatural preservation in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree angelic surveillance in your life and family in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

KINGLY GIFTS – BOXING DAY

#WordForTodayDevotional

Tuesday DECEMBER 26, 2023

KINGLY GIFTS – BOXING DAY

And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Matthew 2:11 (KJV)

The king is born. His star appeared to the Wise men of the East. There must be something about this particular star that informed the kind of gifts that these wise men came with to worship the new born King. Number One, these wise men knew that this star is that of a king because they asked “Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.” (Matthew 2:2). In their study of the Jewish scriptures, these wise men knew that there is a prophecy of the birth of an eternal King of the Jews. They didn’t say king (with small letter), no, they asked of the King of the Jews (with capital letter). Number Two, these wise men knew something of the deity of this new born King. From their country, they set out to go and worship this new born King. That means that they understood that this King is Yahweh. Number three, these wise men knew that this new born eternal King is going to offer his life for humanity. What an insight! So these wise men came to worship this new born King with Kingly Gifts. Let’s see what they are and represent.

In keeping with this new born King’s royalty they brought Him Gold. Gold is a symbol of royalty. The wealth of a royalty is measured in the Gold treasure of that king. So, they brought this new born King Gold to honour His royalty. The truth is that this new born King came to make you royalty. He came to make sons of men, sons of Yahweh, born of Yahweh with the same royal status as He had. Beloved, you are royalty in Christ. Revelation 5:10 says, ‘And hast made us unto our Yahweh kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.’ You are to ruin here on earth now and in the millennium. Brace yourself up. You are not a nonentity or just one of the subjects. No, you are a king and priest. You are wealthy. Get up, reign and rule!

Frankincense is associated with the worship of a deity. It is part of the incense burnt in the tabernacle as specified by the Lord Yahweh (see Leviticus 2:1). These wise men in recognition of the deity of this new born brought Him frankincense. They acknowledged the deity of this new born just as announced by the angel, that his name shall be called Emmanuel meaning Yahweh with us. This is Yahweh that has come to abide with humanity. That was one level. Then after completing His earthly work, He released the Holy Spirit that is Yahweh in us. Wow! From Yahweh with us to Yahweh in us. What a Saviour! You are now the embodiment of divinity in your humanity.

Myrrh was a key ingredient in the mixture of spices that were used to prepare bodies for burial (e.g., John 19:39-40). Perhaps the wise men intended this gift as an indication of Yahushua’s humanity and the manner in which he would save his people—namely, that he would die for them (cf. Isaiah 53:5). Beloved, we are celebrating a complete Saviour. Rejoice because His body was broken, so that yours would not. Share a gift with someone today! Happy Boxing Day!

REMEMBER: The Kingly Gifts paid homage to Jesus’ royalty, deity and humanity.

CONFESSION: I am one with HaMashiach. I am in Him and in Him Yahweh is now in me. What a wonderful gift. No wonder, I am such a blessing to my world because am expressing his royalty, deity and humanity to my world. Halleluyah!!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: This day shall mark the beginning of favour in such dimension that will bring tears to your eyes in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

THE WAY IS BORN – MERRY CHRISTMAS

#WordForTodayDevotional

Monday DECEMBER 25, 2023

THE WAY IS BORN – MERRY CHRISTMAS

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 14:6 (KJV)

Luke 2:6-7 says, ‘6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.’ The groping in the dark was finally over. The Way was born. Angels heralded it with joy. Luke 2:8-15, ‘8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising Yahweh, and saying, 14 Glory to Yahweh in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.’

Beloved, our search came to an end the day HaMashiach was born. Throughout all ages, people had desired to related with Yahweh in a more personal intimate ways but it was impossible because of sin. Humanity lost Eden the place of Yahweh’s presence (Emmanuel) and unfortunately we didn’t know how to get back there. We lost the way. Oh! but what is this sound the angels just heralded now? It is joy that the way to the Father was born. We just got back the way to Eden.. This is something to shout about. No wonder, the angels could not contain their joy. Humanity just got back the way to the presence of Yahweh. This means beloved, that you should never miss your way again in life because Christ the way is born and today we are remembering and celebrating this good tidying of great joy. Halleluyah!

Divine direction should not be a mystery any more. Nothing in life should be a mystery any more because the demystifier is born. Best of all, we are now in Him. I am now at home with the Father living right inside of me. Yahweh is no more a mystery to me, all because of Yahushua HaMashiach. Beloved, hope you know Him. Hope you are in Him. Hope you have surrendered your life to Yahushua HaMashiach and living in love with Him. Rejoice if you have done that because you are the most blessed and favoured on earth. Rejoice today and share with someone that the way is born. The Way to the Father, the Way to life and peace. The Way to eternity in the Kingdom of Yahweh. The Way that has separated us from eternity in the lake of fire. Halleluyah! Merry Christmas!

REMEMBER: The way to the direction we are looking for is Yahushua HaMashiach.

THANKSGIVING: Dear Father, thank you for the birth of Yahushua HaMashiach. Thank You for loving us so much that You brought us back to the place of Your presence, to Eden. Thank You for saving me and I ask that someone somewhere who has not known You would see the light today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: Today shall mark the beginning of unending celebration in your life and family in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

EXAMPLES OF DIVINE DIRECTION

#WordForTodayDevotional

Monday DECEMBER 4, 2023

EXAMPLES OF DIVINE DIRECTION

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Yahweh led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for Yahweh 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 opportunity are traps in disguise, so you must trust Yahweh 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.

In I Samuel 5:19,23, we saw David enquiring of the Lord. ‘And David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.’ (vs 19). It is only those that ask questions that are entitled to answers. In life, leave nothing to assumption. Also, Yahweh is not a one-way traffic God. The enemies came again and David had to enquire again of the Lord what to do and this time, a new strategy was given him to compass behind them (see verse 23). This is the beauty of divine direction; it gives you the strategy to win in the path to fulfilling your vision. The Holy Spirit is our greatest strategist and if we can be diligent to walk with Him, then for any confrontation, He would give us just the right strategy to win.

In John 5:30, we saw Jesus reiterating the place of divine direction in his pursuit of vision and purpose, ‘I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.’ So the success of the ministry of the Lord Yahushua was anchored on instantly obeying divine direction. You wouldn’t need to pray to be successful if what the Father wills is what you are doing. When your actions is in alignment with the Father’s will, then you are an automatic success in the race of life. You must be committed to being led by Yahweh by going to Him for direction. That is how divine direction works. At every crossroad, you must be committed to ascertaining the next step, no assumptions. Like now, you are supposed to have started asking questions of what Yahweh would have you do in 2024. Separate yourself to get to know what Yahweh is saying. Selah!

REMEMBER: Anyone that achieved anything of eternal value partnered with Yahweh.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask that you open my eyes and ears to see and hear what you would have me do in 2024 in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: From today, you shall no more miss Yahweh on any issue in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

WHAT IS YAHWEH SAYING FOR DECEMBER 2023?

#WordForTodayDevotionational

Friday DECEMBER 1, 2023

WHAT IS YAHWEH SAYING FOR DECEMBER 2023?

Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy Yahweh which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
Isaiah 48:17 [KJV]

Welcome to the crowning month of 2023. Welcome to December. We trust Yahweh you enjoyed yourself in the month of November with that prophetic word: “The Outpouring Of The Spirit Guarantees Turnarounds In The Dependable Yahweh.” How often we come to seasons that look like wilderness experience maybe by the wickedness of the wicked and then the ground of our lives becomes hard and things refuse to respond. Glory to the Father that in seasons like that we are not left at the mercy of the wicked. We have an awesome person that is resident in us at salvation that has a ministry to you the believer but we often ignore, neglect Him or outrightly live in contradiction to His will making us prey to the wicked. The truth is that if you stay connected to Him, you may never experience the wickedness of the wicked because He is always on time to lift up the standard against the floods of evil that maybe engineered against you (see Isaiah 59:19). More so, you can make demands for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon your life which brings you into seasons of breakthrough and testimony from one level of glory to the next. We hope, you have been empowered with the revelation that will ensure that you are always changing from one level of His glory to the next. Put it to work please.

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof (see Ecclesiastes 7:8). We are grateful to the Lord for bringing us into the very month that ends the year. What then is the Lord saying to the King Priest Family Worldwide in the month of December 2023? We serve a Yahweh that speaks. From the time that Yahweh created man, He comes down to fellowship with Adam (see Genesis 3:8). Because Adam was not the person that created Eden, he needed direction and instruction on how to navigate his way around which Yahweh availed him. So we saw Yahweh came down and communed with Adam instructing him about the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (see Genesis 2:15-17). In the same vein, none of us created this world but Yahweh has brought us forth into this world, it would take his compass and instruction to get to where He has destined for us; without which we shall lose our way and become accidents in the sands of time. You are going somewhere, the only challenge is that you don’t even know where this future is but Yahweh knows (see Jeremiah 29:11).

Our prophetic focus for the Month of December 2023 therefore, is ‘I AM THE DEPENDABLE YAHWEH, I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING, FOLLOW MY LEADING’ (see Isaiah 48:17). In this crowning month, Yahweh shall be unveiling the mystery of divine direction to us preparing us not just to take adequate stock on how we have fared in the journey of 2023 but also to enable us set ourselves for the coming year. It shall be our month of inquiry into purpose, waiting on the Lord to know the phase of our assignment and the next turn. We shall explore dimensions in divine direction, from seeing the value of instruction, to checking if we are on the pedestal where we can be led, to finding how exactly how Yahweh leads, to understanding how to access His voice, to a great insight on how to develop our human spirit to recognize the leading of Yahweh, to exploring the profits of being led by Yahweh. It is going to be a crowning month indeed where goodness and mercy shall ice your life this year and usher you into a new year with clarity and direction. One of the great things Yahweh will be doing in your life is repositioning you for the year 2024. You are going to receive instruction on what to do, where to go, what to concentrate your energy on, what to drop, who to disconnect from, who to connect with, and a whole lot of details that will set your sail for 2024 in grand style. Get set to dive into the secret place of Yahweh. Shalom!

Happy New Month!

REMEMBER: I Am The Dependable Yahweh, I Know Where You Are Going, Follow My Leading.

THANKSGIVING: Dear Father, thank You for the privilege of life, of seeing a new month. Thank You for sending Yahushua HaMashiach to pay the prize for my sins and for the privilege of your presence in my life. Thank You for giving me the blessed Holy Spirit who now lives in me. Thank You for all you did for us in the month of November. I am set for this last month, for the crowning dimension of miracles, for all you desire to do in me and for me. Thank You in advance for a successful December 2023 in all ramifications in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that this month of December shall not see your end but you will see its end. I decree no evil news shall be heard in your life, family and job/business. This month, the heavens open over you and your family for a turnaround your world cannot deny. This month, every agenda of evil against you is shattered now. You shall only walk in success, increase, favour, supernatural possibilities and triumphs on every side you turn. No human shall be able to stand against you and your progress all the days of this month. Testimonies shall be your daily bread this month and celebration unending shall be in your house. Get ready because as the year is ending, your destiny shall be opening up to new dimensions of glory in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen. Merry Christmas in advance!

SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (8): DIVERSE KINDS OF TONGUES

#WordForTodayDevotional

Tuesday November 28, 2023

SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (8): DIVERSE KINDS OF TONGUES

… to another divers kinds of tongues? …
I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

The word “divers” in First Corinthians 12:10 is italicized, which means that it was added by the translator. Actually, this verse reads, “… to another, kinds of tongues. . . .” However, in another scripture, Paul said that God set in the Church diversities of tongues (1 Cor. 12:28); therefore, we would not be out of line scripturally to say “divers” kinds of tongues, or different kinds of tongues. This utterance gift of tongues is an important gift in that tongues is the door into the supernatural. This doesn’t necessarily mean the gift of tongues is the best gift, for as we indicated previously, the best gift is the gift needed at the moment. The Gift of Tongues Is a Supernatural Sign. Divers kinds of tongues is supernatural utterance by the Holy Spirit in languages never learned by the speaker, nor understood by the speaker, nor necessarily always understood by the hearer. Speaking with tongues has nothing whatsoever to do with linguistic ability; it has nothing to do with the mind or the intellect of man. It is a vocal miracle of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, one reason we speak in tongues is that the Lord Yahushua said this is one sign which should follow believers. Also, tongues is the scriptural, initial evidence also of the baptism in the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:4). It is important to understand that the gift of tongues is unique to the dispensation of the Church Age.

Every spirit-filled believer speaks in tongues. In addition to praying in tongues in one’s individual prayer life, it is also true that there is a public side to speaking in tongues. Paul said that not everyone would be used in what we call the public ministry of tongues, for he said in First Corinthians 12:30, “… do all speak with tongues? …” The obvious answer is no because in this verse Paul is talking about the public ministry of diversities of tongues which is a ministry gift denoting more the prophetic office, not the devotional gift of tongues. Some take First Corinthians 12:30 out of its context and conclude that Paul was saying, “Speaking in tongues isn’t for everyone. Therefore, you can be filled with the Spirit without speaking with tongues.” However, again, we must remember that here Paul is talking about the ministry gift of tongues, for he began by saying, “AND GOD HATH SET SOME IN THE CHURCH, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, DIVERSITIES OF TONGUES” (1 Cor. 12:28). Ministry gifts or offices are “set” in the Church by Yahweh; they are people called to the fivefold ministry. Then he asked the question in First Corinthians 12:29 and 30, “Are all apostles? . . .” No, all are not apostles: Let’s look a little further in verse 30: “. . . do all speak with tongues? . . .” The obvious answer is no. Paul was talking here about fivefold ministry gifts, just as he was talking about fivefold ministry gifts when he asked, “Are all apostles? . . .” (v. 29), and so forth.

REMEMBER: The gift of diverse kinds of tonguing is a supernatural utterance in tongues not learned by the speaker.

CONFESSION: My prayer is enriched by the gift of tongues. It deepens my relationship with the Spirit and opens the door of the supernatural for me. Thank You Lord for this gift in my life. Halleluyah!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I curse whatever is retarding your intimacy with the Holy Spirit in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (7): PROPHECY

SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (7): PROPHECY

… to another prophecy? …
I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

Prophecy is supernatural utterance in a known tongue. The Hebrew meaning of the phrase, “to prophesy” is to flow forth. It also carries with it the thought: to bubble forth like a fountain, to let drop, to lift up, to tumble forth, and to spring forth. The Greek word that is translated “prophesy” means to speak for another. So “prophesy” can mean to speak for Yahweh or to be His spokesman. In First Corinthians 14:1 we read: “Follow after charity [love], and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may PROPHESY.” We are told to desire spiritual gifts, but especially that we might prophesy. That doesn’t mean we are not to desire the other gifts, but we are to especially desire to prophesy. Again, at the end of First Corinthians chapter 14, Paul repeated, “Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy …” (1 Cor. 14:39). Paul was writing by the inspiration of Yahweh. We could say it this way: Yahweh through Paul spoke to the Church at Corinth (and it applies to the Church everywhere) to desire spiritual gifts, but rather that we may prophesy (1 Cor. 14:1,39).

There is Foretelling and there is Forth Telling. The simple gift of prophecy should not be confused with the prophetic office or with prophetic utterance that may come forth in the prophet’s ministry. Paul said, “But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT” (1 Cor. 14:3). Thus, we can readily see that in the simple gift of prophecy there is no revelation. The simple gift of prophecy is given for edification, exhortation, and comfort. In the office of the prophet, however we very often find that revelation or foretelling does come forth, even through the vehicle of prophecy. It is also interesting to note the difference between prophecy in the Old Testament and prophecy in the New Testament. In the Old Testament prophecy was essentially foretelling, but in the New Testament we see that the gift of prophecy shifts strongly to forth telling. Prophesying Is More Than Preaching. Some people think that “to prophesy” means to preach. All inspired utterance is prophecy in some form or another, but the spiritual gift of prophecy isn’t preaching. Sometimes there is an element of prophecy in preaching when a person is anointed by the Spirit and is inspired to say things spontaneously that come from his spirit rather than his head. But that is only one phase of the operation of the gift of prophecy.

The utterance gifts are liable to abuse and misuse more than the other gifts of the Spirit. That is why there is need to sound a note of caution. You must not prophesy. If you have to prophesy make sure that it is not from self. I Corinthians 14:32 says, ‘And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.’ The manifestation of the gift of prophecy is as the Spirit wills, not as you will. Don’t open up to unclean spirits just because you want to prophesy. Caution!

REMEMBER: The gift of prophecy is supernatural utterance in a known tongue.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: You are delivered today from a deception in the name of prophecy in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (6): THE WORKING OF MIRACLES

#WordForTodayDevotional

SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (6): THE WORKING OF MIRACLES

To another the working of miracles? …
I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

The Working of Miracles can be defined as the supernatural intervention of Yahweh in the ordinary course of nature. A miracle is a supernatural act on a natural plane. When the working of miracles is in manifestation, there is a divine intervention in the ordinary course of nature. For example, the dividing of a stream by the sweep of a mantle is an example of the working of miracles in operation (see 2 Kings 2:14). After Elijah ascended to heaven in a chariot in the whirlwind, Elisha received his mantle and smote the Jordan River. Dividing the waters by a sweep of his mantle was the working of miracles because that was a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature. In the area of healing, many times miracles are received, but this is not necessarily the working of miracles; they are simply called healing miracles. Everything that Yahweh does is miraculous in a sense, but receiving healing by supernatural means is not a miracle in the same sense that turning common dust into insects just by a gesture is a miracle (see Exodus. 8:16), or turning common water into wine just by speaking a word is a miracle (see John 2:7-11). Those two occurrences are examples of the working of miracles.

Water turned into wine by the ageing process, or the process of nature, is a natural phenomenon. But water turned into wine just by speaking a word, as Jesus did (John 2:1-11), is a miracle according to our definition — a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature. A miracle, therefore, is a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature, a temporary suspension of the accustomed order, or an interruption in the system of nature as we know it, operated by the power of the Holy Spirit. The working of miracles is used to display God’s power and magnificence. In Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Bible, the Greek word for “miracles” in First Corinthians 12:10 is “dunamis,” and can also be translated acts of powers. In other words, the working of miracles could also be called the working of acts of powers. According to the Greek concordance, the Greek word also means, explosions of almightiness or impelling, staggering wonders or astonishments. In other words, the Greek could read, “To another the working of impelling, staggering wonders or astonishments, or the outworkings of explosions of almightiness and acts of powers.”

The Working of Miracles is the mighty power of Yahweh flowing through a person. Oh how I desire that everyone of us will position in intimacy with the Holy Spirit and have this power flow through us. How much our world is in need of the manifestation of this power. Romans 8:19 says “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” They are waiting for the manifestation of the power of Yahweh. Can we yearn for the manifestation of this power?

REMEMBER: The working of miracles is the manifestation of the almightiness of Yahweh intervening in the ordinary course of nature.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I release that power over your life today. Receive divine intervention in that situation now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (2): THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE

SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (2): THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE

… to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit?
I Corinthians 12:8 (KJV)

We are encouraged to desire earnestly the best gifts (see I Corinthians 12:31). However, it is also important that we understand that these gifts are in manifestation according to the will of the Holy Spirit. So, you cannot force the manifestation of any of them. The one that you may want to manifest may not be the will of the Spirit for you. He sees the heart and knows the motive why you are asking for a particular gift and if that motive does not glorify the Lord Yahushua, He may never allow that gift to flow through you. Just remain in the Spirit, wholly committed to Him and as He deems fit, the manifestations of the gifts will come. Today, let us look at the gift of the Word of Knowledge. Just as we said yesterday, it is the gift of the Word of Knowledge and not the gift of Knowledge. There is a difference. In fact, there is no such thing as the spiritual gift of knowledge. There is however, a spiritual gift called the Word of Knowledge. The word of knowledge is the supernatural revelation by the Holy Ghost of certain facts in the mind of Yahweh. Yahweh is all-knowing. He knows everything. But He doesn’t reveal everything He knows to man. He just gives him a word or a part of what He knows. A word is a fragmentary part of a sentence, so a word of knowledge would simply be a fragmentary part of the entire knowledge or counsel of Yahweh. Yahweh is all-knowing. He has all knowledge. But He doesn’t impart all of His knowledge to us; He imparts a word of knowledge to us — just what He wants us to know at a given time.

The gift of the Word of Knowledge is a supernatural manifestation as are all of these gifts of the Spirit. The gift of the Word of Knowledge is not natural knowledge but is supernatural knowledge. It is supernatural revelation of certain facts in the mind of Yahweh. It is the Father bringing to your knowledge the things that has happened or that is happening in order to help you take certain actions. The Word of Knowledge is not a profound knowledge of the Bible. It is certainly true that Yahweh will help us understand His Word, but that is not a supernatural gift. A profound knowledge of the Bible comes by studying, but the Word of knowledge comes by a supernatural revelation. The Word of Knowledge is not knowledge of Yahweh gained through close communion with Him. One does gain a real knowledge of Yahweh walking with Him, but that is different from a supernatural impartation of the knowledge of certain facts in the mind of Yahweh.

Your duty in these spiritual gifts is to remain spiritual and in the Bible. If you are close enough and your motives are pure, the Holy Spirit can deem it fit to manifest the Word of Knowledge through you to the glory of the Lord Yahushua. Desire them but leave the manifestation to the Holy Spirit. Selah!

REMEMBER: The Word of Knowledge is the Lord giving you the knowledge of past event or current happening to help you take certain actions.

PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to maintain connection always with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive according to His will at anytime in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

PROPHETIC RELEASE: I see your access into this spiritual gifts opened now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
