The means and the message. I’m not a super smart person, the only degree I hold is from The School of Hard Knocks, my High School Diploma and a Dog Grooming Certificate (which my back no longer allows me to use.)
I don’t know Hebrew, yet for some reason, the Lord is choosing Ancient Hebrew to relay some of His messages to me. The Lord gave me this message in a vision toward the end of this summer I have pondered ‘oer it’s meaning for some time now and asked the Lord for its meaning and whether to share or not.
I prayed over it seeking the Holy Spirit’s guidance and discernment to understand it’s meaning. Each of these symbols had multiple meanings and I wanted to understand what He was telling me before relaying it if I was even supposed to. These are the meanings He showed me.
I held off in sharing until the Lord gave me answers and I believe this is for the Remnant Bride of Christ who holds to the teachings of Jesus.
1 Corinthians 1:27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
1 Corinthians 1:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness";
Jeremiah 8:,9 The wise men are ashamed, They are dismayed and taken. Behold, they have rejected the word of the LORD; So what wisdom do they have?
1 Ecclesiastes 1:13, 14 I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind! 14)I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Those who maintain a relationship and walk closely in companionship with Jesus, who are continually in His word learning and retaining it, who will put aside doctrine, denomination, religion and legalism in exchange for a life filled with the Holy Spirit in complete, humble, repentant obedience to His leading and prompting, who have had hearts broken, convicted and are completely surrendered and ‘sold out’ to Him. When we surrender our will completely to God, He will fill us with His Spirit, anoint and bless us.
To those who have been anointed and called out by God, those who abide in Him and His word remains in us, Jesus says in John 15:7 we can then ask anything and He will do it.
In John 8:31 Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in Him, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
Human approval is not required to speak and share what the Lord speaks and prompts someone to share. To those whose sole purpose in sharing words is to honor God and serve Him only, they will not allow mockery, intimidation, fear or threats (even of death) to hinder the message they were assigned to present. They are fully aware that sharing things which are not of God puts them at risk of being immediately put to death by God. This happened in the Bible with many false prophets.
Isaiah 44:25 who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who overthrows the learning of the wise and turns it into nonsense,
1 John 4:1-4 Testing the Spirits
1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2By this you will know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3and every spirit that does not confess Jesusa is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and which is already in the world at this time.
4You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. 5They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them. 6We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.
I have no control over what the Lord speaks or by what means of delivery He uses, nor do I have any control over who chooses to believe or not. I am inly charged to plant the seeds and they fall in what soil they fall, be it fertile soil that produces fruit, ricky soil that dies off or soild that get choked out by weeds.
I don’t always understand the message or motive and many a time I have to pray over them and speak with others to whom the Lord also speaks in this same manner, in order to understand them.
I do however give Him full permission to use me however He chooses, in order that He may fulfill His plan upon the earth and that I may glorify Him.
‘Here am I Lord, send me’
I give You glory Lord Jesus for every gift I have, for everything You have done and will do in my life.
For God says;
Isaiah 55:8-11 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. 9)”As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10) As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11) so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
I have asked the Lord to Bind my tongue when I should not speak (my hand when I should not write) Grant me the right words when He wants me to speak. I sought for wisdom, discernment and understanding and while I will always be a student of Christ Jesus and I will always rend my heart, mind and my actions to Him. Will you? jWinters
May God do unto you as you have written, God bless and Amen. A student of Christ Jesus am I!
AMEN sister. Love you. Blessed to be here with you on this journey:)
