WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYING THIS JANUARY 2023?

And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
Luke 4:14 [KJV]

Happy New Year to you beloved! It is with a great joy that I welcome you to this year of the Dependable Yahweh. We do not take for granted His great goodness and mercies which He has manifested in our lives from January 2022 to today 1st January 2023. If we are to pay for only oxygen for 365 days, the wealth of a whole nation would deplete for the bill of just one person. Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr told of an experience where he went to pray for someone in the hospital in UK. He watched as a tube carried the blood of the person from his body to a machine and back to his body and when he asked what the problem was, he was told that this person’s system cannot oxygenated his blood so they needed the machine to take his blood and oxygenate it and give it right back to him and that process costs £9,000 per week. That means if he is to continue in that process for a year, it would cost £468,000 for 52 weeks. That is just for oxygenating blood. How much would it cost to keep the heart beating, the liver functioning, the lungs, the nerves, and every vital organ functioning. Man is too expensive for man to maintain. It is only our creator that can maintain man. This is why if every breath is praise, it would still not be enough to truly appreciate Yahweh. So go ahead and praise Him some more and more.

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (4): DIVINE BACKING

And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Mark 16:20 (KJV)

When Yahweh leads you, He backs you up so much that your words becomes law. Yahweh worked with them so much as they went preaching everywhere that it was said of them “The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.” (see Acts 14:11). They literally became gods walking in divine direction. When you obey the command of Yahweh, it makes you a commander on earth. Yahweh’s leading makes you a leader among people. Whether it is in your business, career or family, when you obey divine direction, you enjoy divine back up. So many things we suffer today is just a function of not walking in divine direction. The Lord Yahushua said “verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.” (John 5:19). The Lord Yahushua Himself enjoyed divine back up not because he was born of a virgin birth, not because he is the son of Yahweh but because he accessed divine direction and did accordingly. The man who was healed that was born blind alluded to the fact that if Yahushua was not of Yahweh that is following divine direction, “he could do nothing.” (see John 9:33).

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (3): 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. There is nobody that obeys the Lord God 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.

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (2): OPPOSITIONS ARE TAKEN OUT

Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
II Thessalonians 1:6 (KJV)

When you follow divine direction, oppositions to your Yahweh-ordained inheritance are taken care of by Yahweh. Yahweh takes your enemies down for your sake. It is a righteous thing with Yahweh to smite all that rise up against you (see II Thessalonians 1:6). Even Yahushua had to surrender himself otherwise no hands could be laid on Him. Those that came to arrest the Lord Yahushua had to fall before him. They couldn’t stand his presence. No man could harm Yahushua until He surrendered himself for the cross. John 18:4-6 showed us that, ‘4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.’ You are indomitable walking in the will of Yahweh; following divine direction for your life. I Peter 3:13 says, ‘And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?’ You are unconquerable following divine direction because all the powers of heaven are at your disposal to handle any satanic uprisings. You don’t struggle to reign and rule following divine direction.

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (5): BE QUIET

And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
I Kings 19:12 (KJV)

In our quest to access divine direction, we must maintain quietness in our spirit and in our environment. This is the reason Yahweh calls people up a physical mountain to meet them. It is to come out of the distractions of their environment and family. It takes a great level of quietness and serenity to hear Yahweh’s voice of direction. Yahweh’s voice of direction is often a still small voice that sounds in your spirit and you are likely to miss it if you are rowdy in your spirit and if your environment is not serene. If divine direction is your quest, then you must seek to maintain a quiet spirit and environment. You can engage in activities that can quiet your spirit and bring it to the state of tranquillity. In Isaiah 14:7, the Word says, ‘The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.’ Singing spiritual songs quiets your spirit. If you are agitated, then separate yourself and begin to sing to the Lord. Spiritual songs relaxes your spirit and even your soul and body, bringing you to a complete state of quietness.

KNOW YAHWEH’S LEADING (5): BY VISIONS

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:’

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

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.

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

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).

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.
