    QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (6): PRAISE LIFESTYLE

    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 undertaking. 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 Adonai 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 a 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 Adonai is coming with a grateful, thankful heart. Then go ahead to sing and dance before HIm. In the midst of your celebration of Yahweh, the heavens will open and the voice of El-Shaddai concerning what you are asking will be known. Just know that sadness, gloominess and depression will lock you out of His 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: Having a song and gladness of heart is a necessity to hear the voice of Yahweh.

    CONFESSION: Joy unspeakable full of glory is the level I function in 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 command an end now to whatever eats up your joy and deposits heaviness into your spirit in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (4): BE IN FAITH

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday December 20, 2022

    QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (4): BE IN FAITH

    (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
    Romans 4:17 (KJV)

    Yahweh spoke about Abraham, ‘For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.’ That is before Yahweh ever start speaking to a person, he checks if you believe Him enough to regard what He is going to tell you. Yahweh was going to check if what He heard about the people of Sodom was truly how they were and He passed through the house of Abraham. Then Yahweh said to Himself ‘And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;’ Adonai saw that Abraham believes everything He tells him so it evoked His desire to confide in Abraham what He was going to do in Sodom. Beloved, faith is a crucial qualification to access divine direction. Yahweh does not speak to those who make light of His Word. If Yahweh’s Word is not a matter of life and death for you then you would not be able to access it. You must believe El-Shaddai enough to act on whatever He tells you to do.

    2 Corinthians 5:7 says, ‘(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)’. Divine direction is not for those who walk by sight, but for those who will trust Yahweh to lead them aright. It is faith that makes a man seek Yahweh for divine direction. If you don’t believe that He will direct you, then you would not bother to seek His direction. When Yahweh speaks most times, there may not be any correlation with what He is saying to do and the facts on ground at the time. Without faith, you would not even listen. It is just like accessing healing. You must believe that going to Yahushua that you would receive your healing. Without faith, you would not even bother going in the first place. You would hear the Lord Yahushua saying that according to your faith be it done unto you (see Matthew 9:29). Same is true with divine direction. Many are not bothering to ask Yahweh for direction because they don’t even believe that He will oblige them. Your faith that Yahweh is willing to lead you is crucial to being led and to even asking in the first place for divine direction.

    Beloved, why are you not bothering to get divine direction? Is it because you don’t even believe in the first place that Yahweh will lead you? Let me assure you that Yahweh is willing and waiting to lead you even in the very small details of your life. If you are born again, then the Holy Spirit is in you and one of His primary assignment is to lead you into all truth (see John 16:13). So, please beloved, engage the Holy Spirit in those areas where you need direction. Ask Him “Blessed Holy Spirit, what do I do in this situation? What do you want me to answer this person? How should I respond to this situation?”. He is willing to speak to you today. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Faith in Yahweh is vital is being led.

    CONFESSION: I have come to sonship where I relate and interact with my Heavenly Father. I believe that He is committed to leading me as much as I am committed to His leading, therefore, I do not miss my way. Glory be Adonai!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Receive grace to walk by faith and not by sight in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (3): BE IN AND WALK IN LOVE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday December 19, 2022

    QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (3): BE IN AND WALK IN LOVE

    If ye love me, keep my commandments.
    John 14:15 (KJV)

    John 14:16-17 says, ‘16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.’ The context of this scripture shows us that your ability to walk with the Holy Spirit is conditioned upon you loving the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach. You can see that loving the Lord Yahushua is not a thing of saying “I love You Lord” that may definitely be included but loving the Lord is keeping his commandments. Keeping the commandments of Yahweh is in two folds. Firstly, is to believe in the Son of Yahweh Yahushua HaMashiach. I John 3:23 says, ‘And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.’ This is the first step towards keeping the new covenant commandment. The rationale is that a dead person does not keep any commandment. Without coming to the life quickening Spirit Yahushua HaMashiach to be quickened, you are permanently dead in trespasses and condemned to eternal damnation (see Colossians 2:13). The dead has no business with the living. You cannot communicate with the Holy Spirit, if your spirit is dead, therefore divine direction does not pertain to such a person.

    Secondly, to keep Yahweh’s commandment means to obey the commandment of love. The commandment of love is in two folds. One is to love Yahweh which comes back to keeping his commandment as revealed in the Bible. The second fold is to love one another. Loving Yahweh is being diligent to do as His Word says. One peculiar aspect concerns the heartbeats of Yahweh. Loving what Yahweh loves and for which His heart beats is the acid test of your love for the Lord and that one thing is the salvation of the soul of people. The number one interest of Yahweh on earth today is the salvation of the soul of man. That is the essence of the agenda of Yahushua’s coming to sacrifice His life. Yahweh is not interested in religion. Yahweh is not interested in big Church halls and cathedrals. The number one heartbeat of Yahweh is the salvation of the souls of men and if anyone partners with Him on that one thing, Yahweh sees it as the highest display of love there is on earth. Yahushua HaMashiach came to Peter and one thing that stood out in John 21:15-17, “Do you love me?”, if yes, “Feed my lambs”. It was repeated three times “Do you love me?” If yes, “Feed my sheep”. When Yahushua was talking about his sheep, he was seeing the sheep outside the fold that have not even responded to the call of salvation. In John 10:16 Jesus says, ‘And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.’ When Yahushua HaMashiach said talking about His sheep outside the fold that He must bring them in, He was looking at your partnership. So, taking your place in the pursuit of the sheep outside the fold is what endears you to the Lord. In fact, when that becomes your drive, you will never pray for direction but they will be coming to you like water.

    REMEMBER: Walking in love is keeping His commandments especially bringing the gospel to souls.

    CONFESSION: I am a love son of Yahweh. I live by love and dispense love to everyone in my sphere of contacts. My heart is panting for the salvation of the souls of people in my world and around the world. Glory to Adonai!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that the fire of the love of Yahweh is ignited afresh in your spirit now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • KNOW YAHWEH’S LEADING (5): BY VISIONS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday December 16, 2022

    KNOW YAHWEH’S LEADING (5): BY 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 God, 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 God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God always. 3 He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God 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; El-Shaddai 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: Every vision must be judged 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. Halleluyah!!!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I curse every spiritual blindness in your life now and I decree that you come to visions and revelations of the Lord from this day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • KNOW YAHWEH’S LEADING (4): BY PROPHECY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday December 15, 2022

    KNOW YAHWEH’S LEADING (4): BY 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 (see 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 primary way Yahweh leads in the New Testament. 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 believers.

    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 Adonai 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. Glory!!!

    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!

  • TO ACCESS HOLY SPIRIT’S VOICE (4): RISE UP EARLY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday December 14, 2022

    TO ACCESS HOLY SPIRIT’S VOICE (4): RISE UP EARLY

    The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.
    Isaiah 50:4 (KJV)

    Heaven has broadcasting times and seasons. The above scriptures suggests that. If the Lord Himself, awakens someone morning by morning, it means that there is something about the morning that is critical to hearing the broadcast of heaven. When is the best time to hear from the Holy Spirit one may ask. Psalms 19:2 says, “Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.” For everything, there is a time and a season (see Ecclesiastes 3:1). Broadcast stations have programme schedules for all their programmes. If the prime news hour is 7 a.m. each day and you tune in at 8 a.m, you can no longer catch the news. You’ve missed it for that day. All you can do is to settle for second hand information, which is not the same as hearing it by yourself. So also, hearing from God has its own time and season. And if you know when He attends to people, it becomes cheap to receive direction from Him. The exploits in Jesus’ ministry was founded on, “As I hear, so I judge…” (see John 5:30). But how was this possible? He had an understanding of times and seasons. He knew when best to get His Father’s attention.

    “…He wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.” I call the early hours of the day “Heaven’s Radio Hour.” That is the time when instructions are passed down to those who are tuned to it. The early hours of the day is heaven’s radio hour for the wise. Those who tune in at that time catch the news from heaven, and they go forth to make news on the earth! His speech drops upon people as the dew; and you know dew falls in the early hours of the morning. God is on line to all who care to listen to Him in the early hours of the morning. That is when He reaches out for the ears of the sons of men. A study of those who have received major instructions from God shows that they hit it in the early morning hours.

    Friend, God is heard in the early hours of the morning! Tune in for His instructions in the early hours. That’s the time He opens up, that’s when His speech drops as the dew upon people. That’s when to catch Him! Jesus would always get up “a great while before dawn” everyday, to receive instructions from the Father. You can’t be a heavy sleeper and expect to be a star at the same time. You have to choose one. You are either a sleeper or a star. Sleeping till 6.30 a.m. and stretching at 7 a.m. is not the way up. Nothing corrupts destiny like sleep! I read of a man who grew to be a very great businessman. He always woke up between 2-5 a.m. daily, to map out his strategies for the day. This man has investments in 160 countries spread over five continents! You are loaded with great potential, I pray that sleep will not destroy it. You don’t have any other enemy than Satan, and all that he does is to steal, kill and destroy. Sleep steals and destroys destinies and crowns.

    REMEMBER: The early hours of the morning is heaven’s broadcast time.

    PRAYER: Father, I receive the grace to rise up early in order to tap into heaven’s broadcast time in the name of my Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that sleep shall not be your ruin. Receive the grace to rise early now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

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

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday December 13, 2022

    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.

    Procrastination is a weight. This is a very great weight that would not allow you to develop your spiritual life. Procrastination is putting off or delaying or deferring an action to a later time. You need to create time to stay with the Holy Spirit. As long as you keep putting off that time to a later time, it would never happen. In your personal life, procrastination is the reason you have not become very big. There is time for every activity under the sun and most things when you miss their time, becomes an uphill task to come by again. If there is anything the Lord achieves in your life today, let it be to break the yoke of procrastination eternally in your life. This will improve your relationship with the Lord Yahushua and the Blessed Holy Spirit.

    Weights make you spiritually heavy and as long as you are not light spiritually, you cannot access the voice of the Holy Spirit. Your goal should be to be so light that you can pick the slightest spiritual signal from the Holy Spirit. Being spiritually light makes you able to pick spiritual signals so easily. The voice of the Holy Spirit can often be a still small voice. Selah!

    REMEMBER: You need to decluster your spirit to be able to hear the voice of the Spirit.

    PRAYER: Father, I receive the grace to lay aside every weight in my life. I receive the grace to function light in the name of my Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Receive the grace to function light from today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

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

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday December 11, 2022

    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 wave in the air. The Holy Spirit speaks and wants to speak to you even now however, you need to know how to connect to His frequency. So, what must I do if I desire to access the voice of the Holy Spirit? Today, let us look at the fact that the Holy Spirit’s voice is a spiritual reality that can only be accessed in the Spirit. Be in the Spirit. That is be conscious of the presence of the Holy Spirit on your inside. Be conscious of it. Live in its constant awareness and consciousness. That is what it means to be in the Spirit. In that consciousness, the Holy Spirit can open your eyes to see things into the realm and reality of the spirit world. The Holy Spirit can open your ears to hear into the realm of the spirit.

    How can you maintain the consciousness of the presence of the Holy Spirit? John 6:63 says, “It is the spirit that quickeneth? the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” The words that I speak to you are spirit. The Word of Yahweh communicates His Spirit to us. Being in the Word helps you maintain the consciousness of the presence of the Holy Spirit. You are in the Spirit when you are reading, listening and meditating on the Word. In that realm, encounters are obvious to happen. In that realm, you have access to the voice of the Holy Spirit. The realm of the Word is the realm of access to the voice of the Holy Spirit.

    Psalms 29:3 says, “The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God 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,” The water is the Word of Yahweh. The voice of the Holy Spirit is upon the Word. He breathe over the word. So, being in the Word affords you the opportunity to encounter the voice of the blessed Holy Spirit. Do you now see why the voice of the Holy Spirit is scarce in our day? Many people these days have zero time for the Word.

    Finally, to be in the Spirit, you would need to maintain an attitude of prayer. I Thessalonians 5:17 says, “Pray without ceasing.” That is maintain an attitude of prayer always. This is a lifestyle of being in the Spirit. When you pray always, you are in contact with the Spirit, helping you function in that frequency where you can access His voice. More so, when you are praying in the Spirit majority of the time. Selah

    REMEMBER: You need to be in the Spirit to access the glorious voice of the Holy Spirit.

    CONFESSION: I am dwelling in the secret place of the Most High as I read, study and meditate on the Word daily and maintain a prayer glow consistently. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: From today you begin to enjoy the activities that makes you live in the Spirit as a lifestyle in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

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

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday December 9, 2022

    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.

    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 Elohim’s 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 Adonai!

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

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

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday December 8, 2022

    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.

    Yahweh leads us primarily by the inward witness. When you surrender your 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 prophesy 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 Adonai only leads sons not children (see Romans 8:14). So you need to grow up in the things of Yahweh to understand His 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: The inward witness is that knowing in your spirit and 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!
