Impressions on hearing the Lord

This is something I need to get off of my heart. As I continue to grow into whatever the Lord is crafting it makes me look back reflecting on what he has equipped me with. My story is one that has many ups and downs in it and that is not what I want to share here. I knew from the time I was very little for the rest of my life that the Lord had called me. It was irrevocable, we cannot get out of the destiny the Lord has had for us unless we decide to cover it up with our own desires. That is easy to do in the western culture because their is such a small amount really giving it all up for the Lord. It is so easy to be distracted by the many things we have, technology, phones, vehicles. Many of the people around us can't relate to the intimacy of the Lord because their minds are not on the things of heaven but things of the flesh which causes a hardening in our hearts and a world mindset. It simply is a trap, because when we start to see things in the temporary world we cannot believe the things going on in heaven anymore. We are horizontal minded and not vertically minded, or heaven minded. 

The God in heaven has always promised us that he would provide for us, that means at every point in life. I believe their are times in our lives where we need to have a job and that is a way of provision but I am really feeling this as I write this, we justify ourselves because we don't want to commit to something that is unseen or someone else hasn't done it. We simply cannot justify ourselves church because then we our self reliant. This leads to a hardening of our heart and a hardening to hear his voice. Psalm 9:10 Those who know your name trust in you, for we know you never forsake those who earnestly seek you. We know that God does not go against his word its a promise in heaven we should rejoice over.

His words do not just come from the Bible, yes it is such a powerful tool in our midst but the early church fathers only had scrolls and not the full bible. Paul was taught by the Holy Spirit, he was taught by the eternal one God himself. These were revelations he had and his message was on the Gospel and Grace. God has revealed these things to us so Grace can empower us to move into our callings with power. We need to rely on the voice of God not just on the word. The word is a foundation for us. It's Father, Son and Holy Spirit, not Holy Bible, The Holy Spirit will teach you all things! (John 14:26) Now being teamed up with the Holy Spirit to read the Holy Bible that is what will uncover much more than just a book. In no way am I putting down the Holy Bible but we need to justify ourselves by the words he speaks to us.

Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light for my path. Henry Claims in his commentary: The commandment is a lamp kept burning with the oil of the Spirit; it is like the lamps in the sanctuary, and the pillar of fire to Israel. 2. The use we should make of it. It must be not only a light to out eyes, to gratify them, and fill our heads with speculations, but a light to our feet and to our path, to direct us in the right ordering of our conversation, both in the choice of our way in general and in the particular steps we take in that way, that we may not take a false way nor a false step in the right way. We are then truly sensible of God's goodness to us in giving us such a lamp and light when we make it a guide to our feet, our path.

With his word he spoke the universe into existence how much more do we need to listen to him. 

Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered them, " Man does not live alone on bread but on every word that comes from the mouth of God,"

You see it is the utmost importance in this day and age that we need to listen to the Lord for his direction in our lives. We all have the ability to hear him but many of us lack the will to even try, they get frustrated or walk away from it. God wants to communicate with us more than we will every know, its not just randomly flipping open to a verse but God wants to speak to us. Where you ask in our minds, he speaks to us, it truly is a small still voice but as we gain to learn and hear more that voice becomes even more recognizable. 

Begin to pull yourself away from the world and go and lay down listen for a reply to your prayers like Habukkak 2:1. He waited for the reply of the Lord. He wants to speak to us to our inner most being but it requires us to push away to a place where we can receive and start to grow. 

Push aside our own desires and lets be fulfilled by the word of the Lord. He has many great things for those who are willing to push things that don't matter aside.

Prophetic Decree

This came to my heart and what I really felt so many people come so hungry for prophetic words and really we don't want to add them to our key chain and say hey I got a word. We need to treat his word like Gold we need to thank him extensively for it because his word is a promise, its a decree, its a very desire from daddy's heart. He is the creator of the universe and if we don't walk in such a respect for it then you mine as well not even request one. I'm not about furthering my kingdom and inheritance but extending love to others to edify them, build them up closer to Jesus. In their walk and to see the Kingdom of God released in power and glory. I believe this is the Fathers heart, to walk in intimacy so we may manifest the very likes of the Kingdom through our being and shadows just as Peter had.



The Prophetic gift, in my opinion, is not taught on clearly or often enough. Which is why I feel that it has left a bad taste in many peoples mouths.  To Prophesy signifies “the speaking forth of the mind and counsel of God” Often people don’t understand that prophecy does not just relate to the foretelling, but that the prophetic gift relates to the past, present and future which entail other gifts in prophecy, like the word of knowledge and words of wisdom. To discern a situation is to have the ability to see what is going on in that person’s life at that present time to give life by speaking a word of truth to that person. God wants us to be as close to holy and righteous as we possibly can be on his strength and the grace that he has given us to empower us to live holy and righteous lives. The gift of prophecy when used for the kingdom matter and for what it is intended for then edifies, which is to build up towards Christ. Jesus was God, and God is love, Love is the empowerment which these gifts should be used with. 1 Corinthians 14, pursue love…that speaks forth what God desires of us that we pursue him, his love. 


This is a very short and concise view on the gift of prophesying and when used for the building up of it is a very powerful gift in the Kingdom of God. Often times I discern the present which is effective in its own way. Many people want foretelling of the events to come in their lives and God does reveal that, however more importantly is to be edified in your current life. God wants us to be close to him, he wants us to love him, with all our heart, mind and being. We have choices to make in our lives and when we pursue his kingdom, Matthew 6:33 comes in to play seek first my kingdom and all this shall be added unto you. It really is not about how many words we can get in a day, month or year. God wants us to come to him and to pursue him wholeheartedly so he can reveal these words to us personally. That is what he wants of us that we are like Moses, Face to Face. 


Numbers 12:6-9 (ESV) Hear now my words: If there is a prophet among you I, the Lord make myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream Not so with my servant Moses: He is faithful in my house. I speak with him face to face Evenly plainly, and not in dark sayings; and he sees the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid To speak against my servant Moses? So the anger of the Lord was aroused…..


If we go onto  read God defended the words that they spoke against Moses earlier in which they spoke. God wants us to be like Moses, face to face that we pursue him and that we are “faithful in his house”. That requires us to put down our lives like Moses did, like Jesus did and to pick up our cross even unto death. So may this edify you to seek his face, because he does not want half heartedness or just another word spoken. He wants us to pursue him for the word of the Lord. 
Bless you, I pray that this will lead you to a higher understanding of the Prophetic as well as my goal here, for us to be men and women of God who go face to face with God to lead people into the promises of his Kingdom. Praise his great and mighty name.

Introduction

Hello and many blessings to those who are reading this. I pray that the Lord our God would allow a deeper revelation to the things I share here. I pray that they may edify the body of Christ, never condemn it, For He desires mercy not sacrifice how much more mercy should I bring forth. I ask that this would be a site that is uplifting and may it help us all to walk closer to the Lord our God in which he has called us to. I pray a blessing over you reader may the spirit of Wisdom and Revelation (Ephesians, 1:17-18) make what I write in here an uncovering of understanding to your heart so you just don't know it in your mind but in your heart.

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitude of the heart.

My name is Alvin and for those of you that don't know me I will be posting my testimony for all to read and I pray speak to. My goal on here is to edify the body of Christ with my gifts that God has given me. I want to bless others and see them advance further than me in every aspect. I don't want to be a follower, but a friend of Jesus where he shows me what he wants me to do where he wants me to step. This is the call I believe he is asking of us in these times. We have so gotten beaten up by ourselves because we think we were made to have dominion on this earth. We had dominion and we gave it up to Satan by disobeying the request of our daddy. Jesus came, to give us our hope, peace, redemption and our dominion back. Now we need to seek first the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33) because without the Kingdom we will never see a true salvation. Which is freedom from iniquities, transgressions, and sin. He gave us righteousness that we could not obtain on our own. We are nothing without Jesus. Peter was a man who God said his church would be established on a Rock. Peter betrayed Jesus, denied him 3 times and he wept bitterly. Peter did not sit back and melt away in self pity but Peter led the church in the book of Acts to see the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and people being saved and coming to repentance. His Passion(one Mind, in the Greek this means Passion)  which they all came under because they sought to take back the Kingdom which their friend, their Savior died for, it was passion that drove them. A passion for Jesus which is what we need people, its not anything to do with the prophetic anointing on my life, but may my words be words that truly edify you and convict you to a higher walk, righteousness and holiness. He wants people who will come after him with their whole hearts, that they not love the world because in the world is the deceiver, Satan.(Revelations,10:9-11) Be deceived no longer but come out, come out from TV, come out from media, come out consecrate yourselves, you pray for a move of God be apart of the move of God by giving it all to him.


Bless you and I pray that I may take part in helping you walk closer to God.
