When we are wondering usually we are not waring or contending.
Thankfully the Father has provided pathways in the Ways of God to help us as we fight the good fight of faith and travel with Jesus. I've been exploring a few of the those of late.
Through a series of encouragements the Lord dropped three questions on me and invited me into a time of asking, seeking and knocking. The journey called me into his presence to wait on the Lord, ask questions and remember. Over the last few years I've discovered an exciting pathway that supports and expands the process of exploring these questions. Here it is.
- Ask, Seek and Knock on the prophetic encouragements, promptings and Scripture streams the Lord has been sowing my way. What I mean is develop questions and ask how things relate or are important in what you have been given. This has led me to explore deeply symbols and signs that were given in prophetic words and to dig and dig into the Scripture for more insight. The questions that are raised in stewarding the grace and encouragements of the Father lead us to greater and greater understanding and revelation.
- Keep track. Write down and keep track of the encounters, revelations, experiences and in particular the understanding and encounters with Jesus that we have. Take nothing for granted. Listen always. We abide in the presence of the Lord at all times. Carny a notebook or journal and write things down. Capture prophetic words, dreams, encouragements, things the Lord speaks and keep them in a steady available reference. Compile them into a notebook of dreams, visions, experiences, encounters, miracles, healing, testimonies etc..
- Return to the Testimonies. As you compile responsiveness and continue to press forward in the knowledge of the Lord keep coming back to those things for encouragement, insight, prayer direction, faith prayer formation and obedience. Your heart will find continued expansion in the Kingdom love and grace as you revisit the wonders of what the Lord has done in and through you. Steward. Deeply pursue understanding and wisdom in the fear of the Lord. Return to the testimonies over and over. This will do a few different things for you.
*It will grant you the continued grace of those testimonies and give you faith to bless others with them and the grace of the Kingdom they represent.
*It will release more revelation and Spirit activity as you obediently and faithfully use all that the Father is bringing your way. Activation is key to the steady flow of revelation. Give and it shall be given.
Sowing into the Presence of God in your life is critical.
Make sure when you sit down and ask these things of the Holy Spirit you actually have 1-3 hours to listen and study and follow the paths the questions lead you to in your life. Have your Bible and journal with you and keep any dreams or prophetic words close at hand. If you have one sit with your laptop so you can use online searches and bible programs. Be ready. The Lord may remind you of something long forgotten or misplaced. This is active presence exploration. You are going to move from point A to point B in this time before the Lord.
Online Searches - Bible programs?
Yes. You are going to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit and go where ever he leads into deeper knowledge of the Scripture, the Spirit and the way he is leading you in. Be completely ready to take action. Clear set aside time that you can give over to the Lord. Ready to keep track of things and write notes and Word references.
Is your heart ready?
It is critical to ask yourself before you start this journey, "Am I seriously ready to say yes to the Holy Spirit? Am I ready to follow? Am I hungry and thirsty? Will I travel where he leads? Hunger is key. Are you truly hungry for deeper revelation of the Lord Jesus? Does he have your heart first? Is what he asks of you the most important task of your life? The heart is where it all begins. Love the Lord your God with all your heart.... First love is action in the love and connection with Jesus. Say yes to the smallest things and see larger things grow.
There are some key things to remember here.
1. Jesus is the author and perfecter of our faith and of us.
2. We have no righteousness of our own. Jesus is our righteousness.
3. If our hearts condemn us it is based out of lies about us. If we have the Spirit we are found in Christ. Stand up in our true identity in Christ Jesus.
4. Far because of sin? Confess. He is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. Wow. Freedom breaking out right here.
Now we are ready for the three questions to ask the Holy Spirit in Season.
Holy Spirit
What are my open doors? Isaiah 22:22 / Revelation 3:7
Holy Spirit
What are my double Portions? Isaiah 61:7
Holy Spirit
What dry bones do I need to prophecy to? Ezekiel 37 / Hebrews 11:1
I would really like to hear back from anyone who move out with the Lord and asks these questions of the Spirit.
