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.

WHAT IS DIVINE DIRECTION?

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

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.

THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS

THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS

I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the Lord speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
Isaiah 45:19 (KJV)

We serve a speaking God. Yahweh said in Number 12:8 concerning Moses, ‘With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold:’ This Month you must be convinced beyond a shadow of doubt that the Yahweh that you serve speaks. Moses went to the mountain for 40 days fellowshipping with Yahweh and He was giving us hint of their communication when He said that He spoke with Moses mouth to mouth. I want you to crave that order of communion with your heavenly Father. If it happened to Moses, then it can and should happen to you. Yahweh Speaks and He desires to speak with you mouth to mouth. Whatever is written is written for our admonition (see I Corinthians 10:11). In this month, we are going to learn how Yahweh speaks to us and how He told us to seek His direction.

YAHWEH HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

YAHWEH HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Jeremiah 29:11 [KJV]

In Jeremiah 1:5, Yahweh says ‘Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.’ Yahweh has a specific plan for you. Yahweh has a general plan for all of us His creation but also for us individually, He has a specific assignment. This is crucial because life becomes a frustration without taking delivery of the plan of Yahweh for our individual lives. So many people are frustrated even with fat bank accounts and all that money could buy. We have seen people parking their cars and going into the bush to commit suicide. So frustration is not just about not affording this world’s comfort. There is a plan for your life, if you are not functioning in that plan, there will be a hollow in your heart that can sometimes drive people to insanity of behaviour. Yahweh is stirring you up to seek Him for the unfolding of His plan for you. Whatever you are not looking for, you may not find.

PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR DECEMBER 2022

PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR DECEMBER 2022

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Psalms 23:2 [KJV]

Finally, we are in that month of merriment. Welcome to the month of December 2022! It shall be your crowning month of His goodness. Psalms 65:11 confirms that, “Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.” This last month shall be your month of fatness in all areas. This month of December shall end this year in mighty celebration for you in the precious name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen! It is obvious that you have received an encounter with Divine Wisdom. Proverbs 4:7 says “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Ecclesiastes 8:1 says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” That shows that you cannot emerge a principality in life without Wisdom and shining in life is only by Divine Wisdom. We looked intently at Wisdom, what it is, how to access it, what it gives and how to recognize it when it is in operation. We saw that it is this Wisdom from above that gives meaning to any other thing on earth. It is Wisdom that makes you want to discover your purpose and vision. It is Wisdom that helps you to develop goals and plans. It is this Wisdom from above that empowers you for vigorous committed pursuit that ultimately makes you a wonder to your world. So, every other thing is a product of Divine Wisdom. That is how principal this Wisdom is. Our prayer is that every trace of foolishness will be over forever in your life. You shall continue to function in this Wisdom as you maintain the fear of Yahweh in your life; as you continue to walk in meekness. You are blessed!

THANKFUL FOR NOVEMBER 2022

THANKFUL FOR NOVEMBER 2022

Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 7:12 [KJV]

Wisdom affects everything about the living of a person on earth. Wisdom determines the quality of life that one is going to live. When you take wisdom steps, then you will experience the best of Elohim in your life. One of wisdom’s ways is thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is the wisdom for increase, sustenance and promotion. Until we give thanks, we do not have access to the throne room. Psalms 100:4 says, “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” Thanksgiving is the access code into the throne room and into the presence of the Father. You may have plenty of supplications to offer; your case may even be very urgent, but you would be yelling from the outer court without thanksgiving. That is the beginning of frustration on the altar of prayer. It is Wisdom to come with thanksgiving. Wherever there is wisdom, there will necessarily be thanksgiving.
