Radiant Dew Word

Adam and Eve could hear God’s footsteps in the garden. That detail is worth sitting with, because you cannot normally hear a spirit walk.

The first way God disclosed Himself to people was direct and bodily, and it ran from Adam to Moses. It is why Cain’s cry was not really about cursed ground. His father already lived with cursed ground, and Cain was born into it. What he could not bear was being hidden from God’s face.

He was mourning an exclusion, not a harvest. This message opens the dispensations from the book The Prophetic Mandate, and makes a point that lands close to home: God chooses the mode of His own self-disclosure, and no amount of hunger on our side overrides the era we are living in.

Song of Solomon warns about the little foxes that spoil the vines: small things that ruin what took years to grow.

Pride is one of them. It is rarely dramatic at the outset, which is why it is so seldom caught. It began with Lucifer, it reappeared with Korah, and Scripture is blunt about the consequence: God resists the proud. That means a believer can be praying serious prayers for breakthrough and be resisted by God Himself without ever suspecting why.

This message traces pride from its first appearance to its final outcome, where Korah and his company challenged the leader God had used to raise them and the ground opened beneath them.

Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:15; Isaiah 14:12-15; Proverbs 16:18; James 4:6; Numbers 16

Your destiny is not perfectly hidden. It is legible in the spirit realm, and that is why it draws opposition before it draws admiration.

Joseph’s brothers read his dream and attacked the dreamer. The Magi read the stars and so did Herod’s diviners. Balak saw something spiritual holding up Israel’s advance and went looking for a curse rather than an army. Daniel prayed for twenty-one days while an answer already dispatched was held up in transit.

The second message in the Threatened by Destiny series. The intensity of the opposition is itself a statement about the weight of what you carry.

Chrestotes is goodness in action, more than goodness as a quality, and absolute goodness is found in God alone.

"Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone." We are encouraged to be good and to do good, but absolute goodness has one source, and everything we call good in ourselves is borrowed from it.

David said he would have fainted outright if he had not believed he would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. That is not sentiment. It is what held a man upright while an army camped around him.

Scripture: Luke 11:11-13; Mark 10:17-18; 1 Chronicles 16:34; Psalm 27; Acts 19

You are not a biological accident. Dr. Boadum first heard that from his father, at a time when he was a student of medicine and saw plenty that seemed to say otherwise.

Paul names four assaults in 2 Corinthians 4 and then four endings that do not match them: hard pressed but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken, struck down but not destroyed. None of those endings were visible while the trouble was running.

The end of the story is not God’s final signature. He posts His version after the story ends, and the help that carries you through the present is often dispatched from a future you cannot yet see.

God breathed into man, and that made us joinable. It is the reason we can commune with Him, and the reason other voices keep asking for entry.

Proverbs stages two women calling out in the same streets, at the same city gates, to the same people. One is Wisdom, who was beside God before the world had foundations. The other is the loose woman, whose house Proverbs calls a highway to the grave.

Neither is offering advice. Both are offering union. This message follows the two invitations, what each one promises, and how to tell which voice is speaking.

Scripture: Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 2:7; Proverbs 1:20-23; Proverbs 7:25-27; Proverbs 8:22-36; 1 Corinthians 6:16-17

Isaiah describes people who travailed like a woman in labor and gave birth to wind: real pain, real effort, nothing delivered.

Dust is Scripture’s language for that condition. Shimei flung it at David in contempt. A crowd flung it at Paul in rejection. Job’s friends put it on their heads because his grief was beyond words. Contempt, rejection and grief: all of it is the dust Isaiah has in mind.

To exactly those people Isaiah says: awake and sing for joy, for your dew is a radiant dew, and the earth will give birth to those long dead. Preached on the closing day of the ministry’s twenty-one day consecration.

God did not delegate the making of man. He molded the body Himself and breathed into it, and that breath works like a compass that keeps pointing home.

The design runs in three directions: worship upward, fellowship across, stewardship downward, in that order and at that weight. When the vertical fails, the other two take a load they were never built for. People get asked to be a savior. Work gets asked to be a god. Energy meant for stewardship gets spent on worry.

This message is about mutated longings, and about the fact that a restless heart is not a defective one. It is a high-capacity instrument that has lost its north.

Peter explains how the Scriptures came: holy men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. The adjective is not decoration.

Every generation is handed the same assignment, to find the dimensions of God revealed for its own time and leave them to the generation that follows. And every generation meets the same resistance, because the god of this age works to keep those dimensions out of reach.

The protocol has not changed. Consecration is the gateway, holiness is the agreement, and the Spirit carries those who keep it. The second message in The Unsearchable Dimensions of God.

What God made for Himself, other spirits now compete for.

The human spirit was unlike anything else in the creation account, and that difference drew curiosity from the spirit realm before it drew envy. Paul’s warning that God will destroy whoever destroys His temple belongs to this subject. The body is not incidental to what lives in it.

The second part of the teaching, closing on the only real protection available: a spirit joined to the Lord and filled, since an empty one does not stay empty for long.

Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 1 Corinthians 6:16-17; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Ephesians 5:15-18; Colossians 3:15-16
