The Power of the Spirit

Have you ever literally heard someone speak in the Spirit? They are nowhere around you. You have never met them or know anything about them. But you know this because God manifests the action(s) that confirm exactly what you heard.

Albeit this has happened to me many times. But there were two time that were very distinct. Causing me to foolishly stumble into situations that hurt my heart.

Even so, this morning I woke, my first thought was to say that I didn't want this gift, because the outcomes were producing painful emotions. But the Holy Spirit urged me to pray in a different way.

I noticed that God is turning the heart of stone (that I prayed for) back into my heart of flesh. Affirmed by certain attitudes that I take when someone is being petty. Knowing that the original tender version of my heart is who God made me to be. If I even attempt to reciprocate negative energy my spirit cannot rest. My thought lately: "I am not built like that!"

Consequently, for me, this is okay. Having a tender heart does not make me weak. Jesus wept.

Don't Grieve the Spirit

Accordingly, I want to share why the LORD revealed to me that He will not allow the Holy Spirit to be grieved. The Spirit is that tender, softhearted part of the triune. "Vulnerable" to hurt. Powerfully meek. It is hard to explain, but if you have ever felt Him, I mean truly felt Him, then you understand.

Nevertheless, I have to learn how to nurture and guard it. To protect my tranquility.

So, my prayer changed. I asked that if it is Your will then allow this gift to manifest on an exceedingly larger scale. In every area of my life. Additionally, give me the discernment to wait to see the whole matter.

Conversely, what I am hearing in the Spirit, what comes out of someone's mouth, is not necessarily what is in their heart. God may not always reveal the full matter from the start. Like a puzzle, you need Him to guide you to put everything in its proper perspective.

This gift is teaching me that no matter how it looks or sounds, God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. Patience will reveal the intent behind the words.

Always remember this, from "Blade". Played by Wesley Snipes. This is profound. And I live this. "When you know the nature of a thing, you then know what it is capable of"! Say that again as many times as needed, to get it deep down into your spirit.

It is Good to Love

The revelations are that it is okay to love and that it will sometimes hurt. Moreover, it is how you process these feelings that will be the difference between healing, growth, and revelation, or bitterness, hate, and stagnation. The latter can be the precursor or the result of regression. A vicious circle of cynical thoughts and actions.

Furthermore, there is a need to reflect on the importance of protecting your energy. Because with who I am in God, I see the devil coming for me every day through multiple people. (Hence, my blog/podcast entitled "You See Me!!!") God is literally purifying and cleansing my heart. My spirit. And in doing so, I know that I am on the verge of regaining that peace and joy that surpasses understanding. I refuse to lose it a second time. So, expect for it to be a process. If you truly desire it.

What is Rarely Understood

What they don't realize is that God is allowing this to hone your character. Your integrity and your virtue. The supernatural gifts that are in you. But held in abeyance.

And although we are not perfect. God will always reveal the purposes and intents of an individual(s) to His anointed. While continually urging us of what this instability that is being caused in the spirit can produce when we are not cautious. When we don't wait on the utterances that He wants to give. This authenticates the need to be quick to hear and slow to speak.

Besides, when we grow in the Holy Spirit, our gifts will abound. They are given to us to be used, apart from selfishness and ambition. We are to help those who are drawn to us, in meekness and humility.

This Bears Repeating

The Bible tells of many people of God who left off following Him, preferring to walk in darkness. Every word, decision, and/or action helps to facilitate this.

Even so, if I am being shown how easy it is to fall by the wayside, then others have also been shown. God is not a respector of persons.

None of us are perfect. The Word of the LORD says to be holy for He is holy.

Indeed, my questions to you is, are you perceiving what the Spirit is communicating? Thus, without doing so, will make it impossible to guard your heart.

Addendum

To be holy is to be sanctified, consecrated, and dedicated or to be separated from the world and worldliness. As it is written, "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14)

When the LORD Goes Before You!!!

 When the LORD Goes Before You!!! “Know [without any doubt], that the LORD your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked (stubborn, obstinate) people. Remember [with remorse] and do not forget how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness; from the day you left the land of Egypt until you arrived at this place, you have been rebellious against the LORD. And at Horeb (Sinai) you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD was so angry with you that He would have destroyed you” (Deuteronomy 9: 4-8, AMP). Many of us focus on Moses' fasting for forty days and forty nights. But he had to go back up for a second time, for forty more days and nights, hewing two tablets of stone himself, as he fasted and prayed for the lives of the Israelites, including his brother Aaron. In God’s mercy they spent forty years in the wilderness, and He was not wrong if He would have condemned them to eighty years. Before we procee...

Sanctify Your Vessel in Holiness!!!

  Sanctify Your Vessel in Holiness!!! People say that they love their family and friends and believe that it gives them the right to overlook evil. That they should hold themselves higher than God Himself by saying, “I absolve you of your sin”. Who would ignore the Holy Scriptures because they feel sorry for them and because they themselves are full of transgression. So that while they overlook wrongdoing in others, the same should be done unto them. I spoke to my daughter, that my children will say, I love my brothers and sisters, but you don’t love each other enough to warn them of impending judgment. A judgment that has two outcomes. Darkness and torment in a lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels, where the worm dieth not. Where you have been given a new body that will withstand torment that only God can inflict, that will never be utterly destroyed. A horror that lasts forever. Or the reassurance given by God Himself. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor e...

Spiritual Deafness is Increasing!!!

 Spiritual Deafness is Increasing!!! “These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth. Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree: and ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place” (Deuteronomy 12: 1-3, KJV). While reading this, the LORD is instilling in me the understanding that we should have a zeal for Him above all things. Every idol in our lives, including man, woman, or child should be thrust down. Unhealthy relationships and mindsets cast out. The need to be worshipped. Greed, covetousness, and gluttony. The increasing pride, lust, sexual immorality. DISOBEDIENCE, and...
