I shared with you the lyrics of two songs that came during my “hereness” with God and being overcome; I had to share. This is part of what I share with you in the LISTENING and not just in the hearing. These two are very poignant in their messages and the truth that is shared. Look for the albums or just the songs and put it on whatever device you may listen to. Powerful…You are my King by the Newsboys and Friend of Sinners by We Are Messengers. Now I only shred in part the lyrics which are so powerful and the truth about God and Jesus Christ my King….so, go get the albums or the songs, however you do it, but listen to. His truth. Again a refresher that I don’t ask for nor do I accept any sponsorship. I share the names because of the truth told and it happens to be in song.

It is important to know and understand that there are many that have misgivings of prophecy because they don’t understand. A prophet is one listening and hearing God speak and following His Holy Spirit. Some can see future events as God gives that ability, but importantly that listening and sharing what God is saying specifically is prophecy. Matthew 13:9-16, Numbers 11:21-29, Acts 2:16-18, I Corinthians 14:31, Jeremiah 23:26, 30, Ezekiel 22:28; prophecy is not manipulative and coming to someone declaring that you have a word from God is firstly announcing that you are claiming to be something that you should not be and attempting to vaunt yourself above others. The scriptures speak to those that practice that very thing as I shared from Jeremiah and Ezekiel. Do not seek to glorify yourself by using the words given of God. We are told in I Peter 5:6&7 to be humble and we will be exalted in due time.

We will find what many declare to be the most powerful book and chapter in the Bible. Romans 8 is the adoption promised of God and the most profound verse of that chapter is Romans 8:28. All may not be good in our perspective, but the important thing to remember is that God’s ways are higher, His thoughts and His perspective is so far above what we can imagine in our finite minds. We seem to always try to figure things out that come from His infinite thoughts with our finite minds. It doesn’t work and yet because we can’t, there must be something wrong with God’s plan. Isaiah 64:4, Deuteronomy 7:9, Psalm 145:20, I Corinthians 2:9, I Corinthians 8:3, John 14:21.

The Holy Spirit is often described as a wind in the Bible; coming from the throne of God and His Spirit, it is a wind of change. Cleansing us, leading us to that place of spiritual integrity as it was when Mary was first told of her going to give birth to the only begotten Son of God. Luke 1:34&35,Galatians 5:22&23, Ephesians 6:10-13, 18, I Corinthians 14:1-5, I Corinthians 14:39, Romans 8:26-27. 34, Jude 1:20&21.

Ezekiel 37:1-19; As Ezekiel was taken by the Spirit of God and set in the valley of dry bones: are many of us and churches not indeed the dry bones? Not acting according to their tenets of the Lord God or allowing that the Holy Spirit guide our steps. Not acting at all according to the scripture as in Proverbs 3:5&6…leaning instead on our own understanding and just becoming dried up. The wind comes from the Throne of God as it did on the day of Pentecost, as it did with Jonah, as it did in Egypt with the bringing of and the ridding of the locusts. As it was in the beginning when the Spirit of the Lord was on the surface of the waters. The mighty wind.

Psalm 34:3-5, as David declares this thing in his poem; I declare to you as he same. Tans upright, boldly and courageous in His truth. Let us stand and be counted on and not just counted.

God’s ordination of His plans are not and cannot be placed into a certain sequence based on man’s decision. We are not of that authority and in attempting to take it as ours; running the risk of following the footsteps of the Prince of Earth. Follow instead the footsteps of the Holy Spirit which is out guide, teacher and counselor. The Holy Spirit has been from the beginning as was the Word, we just need to ask, seek and it will be opened to us. We have not because we ask not. That is not relative to those things of material and temporal existence, but the NEEDS that God will provide. We tend to confuse wants and needs. Remember God’s sovereignty, but too, He is Abba Yahweh, our good, good Father; He loves us so far beyond our comprehension.

Isaiah 6:9, Zechariah 9:9, Romans 8:15 Exodus 3:5; There are many that speculate and try to tell others what Gos meant and why He did this or that and have no real authority to do so. These are the false teachers we are told to be aware of; they do not speak truth and do not walk the walk. Only telling others of how it is they should walk, Do not become prey to the wolves we are warned about. If you are going to share and talk about Jesus, the Holy Spirit and our Heavenly Father; make sure your walk can be an example Remember that Jesus walked our walk and He knew how we lived, how many were poor sick and needing Him. As he attempted to teach the arrogant Pharisees and others of the Sanhedrin; He ate and associated with sinners not because he wanted to APPEAR to be inclusive, tolerant and accepting; he was eating with them and spending time with them to call them to a CHANGED and FRUITFUL life. Jesus calls us to be transformed by the grace of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.into a changed life; not affirming an identity change, but a life change; Luke 5:32.

Through our Lord having come and given himself for a sacrifice to cover our sins, we are reconciled to God, forgiven and made whole. Walk like you’re forgiven, act like an ambassador of the Kingdom of Heaven for which you, if a true believer and Christian are an heir and joint heir in His Kingdom. Romans 8, John 3:16-21, Romans 5:1, 8:1, John 8:36, Luke 10:19, II Corinthians 5:17-21, 3:17.

Ekphobos comes from the Greek and translates literally to being scared witless. Remember that fear is a pseudonym for satan and being driven by him rather than having the sound mind as is spoken of in II Timothy 1:7-9. God is sovereign and is our string tower and how is it that we become so afraid when the creator of all things made is with us, for us and by us. For Hashem the Lord thy God will pour his spirit out to those that love Him and call on His name. Just one of the many infallible truths found in the Word of God. Continue to walk by faith and not by what we see happening around us that stirs fear in us. Rebuke that noise sent to disrupt our lives.
