“To be still and know HE is God…” Psalms 46:10

This is one of the first things I learned by The Holy Spirit.

I was in church as a child, but I didn’t understand the scriptures until I was amazedly filled with The Holy Spirit, and it changed my life forever.

However, it was a process of getting to know The LORD through His Word and spending a lot of time in prayer and intimacy with The LORD.

During intimate time with The LORD, He made it plain to me and said that He didn’t want me to go to Bible College but that He wanted to teach me personally.

Before I go any further, I tried to go to College, but it was frustrated each time.

Also, I want to clarify that I don’t know it all. I am teachable, humble, and broken. Serving and being obedient with Christ over the years has cost my entire life.

However, what I do know has branded me that I cannot doubt. There are a lot of things that I can compromise for peace and unity, however, I am accountable for what He revealed to me, especially the foundations of our faith etc.

I was so hungry and still hunger for the Word. None of us have everything or know all things, we are taught through our personal time with HIM and our study and where we fellowship.

I do NOT have all the understanding or knowledge of scripture, but I am teachable as I am led.

Some people think that is a prideful stance and believe me it isn’t. I know what I know, and I am accountable for each word or act that I do.

If people could walk through my mind and the price that it cost me they would run! If I boasted in thinking I knew everything, I wouldn’t need The Holy Spirit, The LORD, or His People or The Church etc.

During my prayer time today once again in The Spirit I saw a male peacock and the feathers were not fanned out.

Through the years in prayer and the scriptures, God taught me during my prayer times, and he gave me visions and confirmed it with scripture.

For my gifting, he will show me a picture, and he has me describe it by what it means. The Hebrew language is a language of pictures.

For example, every time I see a peacock, its meaning is “pride” and before I looked outwardly, I have learned quickly to look inwardly to my own heart first.

If we teach, or preach, or prophesy, we must realize we have to live it first or we are a hypocrite.

Pride is a wicked spirit that manifests in man. Pride seeks to manipulate and control any perceived high place especially in the churches and government. Satan’s mutiny caused a war in heaven and cost him his place in heaven and 1/3 of the angels were cast out with him. (Luke 10:18) Satan and his imps are always looking to be in high-ranking places of authority.

We all must guard our hearts and check them often! Sometimes we may have it and not know it.

Daily prayer is so important to keep us judging ourselves and being transparent before God. Even Satan fell from heaven due to prideful mutiny and thought he could be as God.

I believe this with all my heart, I pray daily to The LORD to keep me humble, broken, and lowly of heart, and I ask that He not allow pride to have dominion over me.

I desire transparency with a pure heart before God, I want it all! Everything He has for me is my portion, His shield, and my exceeding great reward.

“Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou were upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.” Ezekiel 2814 KJV (Important Study Ezekiel 28)

“After these things the word of The LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. The LORD is my exceedingly great reward “ Genesis 15:1 KJV

“Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.” Proverbs 16:18-19 KJV

“All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but The LORD weigheth the spirits. Commit thy works unto The LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to The LORD: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of The LORD men depart from evil.” Proverbs 16:2-6 KJV

During an encounter with God, I was so serious and humbled myself before The LORD.

I sought The LORD in the scriptures, and that is how he would teach me. Everything we acquire in God comes from that intimate place of prayer with our groom.

He impregnates us with Visions, Dreams, and goals; reveals destiny too. There are no shortcuts in becoming mature in the faith.

Everything You Need or Desire Will Come Through Your Intimate Prayer Life

I must say that The LORD has always “stretched me out beyond my understanding” and I understand the wisdom of that so that my Faith remains with God and not myself.

All of us have had times when we are stretched out on the edge of what seemed like disaster, but then He swooped in!

I would suddenly understand and then He would teach me and show me the meaning of my encounter in scripture. That has been His method with me for many decades.

I have never stopped being a little girl with ABBA and it is my destiny to remain a childlike, not childish but a lover of Jesus.

No matter how big or small, it doesn’t matter because I am so free with Jesus! I never get enough, and I always want more of Him.

Do you know God has enough of everything to go around? He never runs out, and He loves us all the same!

No matter how mature or old I get it can be something so small, and so insignificant that people wonder why I cry because Big or Small The LORD gave it all, so I am as a childlike and innocent soul.

He wants us to have and live a supernatural spiritual life! He is alive and He wants us to live with Him and be about His business!

When we discover our growth, we become totally shocked at the revelation of His Presence and purpose backed up with scripture.

Learning as He reveals the Word of God and learning to be still, quiet, sit, and listen is so important to God. If my topic is often on prayer, and intimacy to teach, you can never learn enough about prayer and intimacy!

Time with The LORD has kept me on the path for decades. I try my best to seek The LORD in prayer and study His Word and obey what He reveals to me.

Often if a topic keeps popping up a lot, I have learned God is emphasizing, tells me that I need to keep seeking Him in prayer and The Word and teaching it.

The LORD has taught me that beyond salvation the most important part of our relationship is communication.

If I don’t communicate how can I know Him and His Word? Having a relationship with Christ is the most vital part of your life and communication.

I won’t lie, it has been a difficult life, and it has been costly, but The LORD has remained faithful and walked with me.

I was Baptized in The Holy Spirit and fire and pastored two churches from 1990-2000. He told me I would write and others confirmed it supernaturally, and this has been true since 1998.

God is no respecter of persons, and He wants all of us to have spiritual encounters of our own with Him. This isn’t the life of a shallow person, but you must want The LORD with all your heart because going deep with Him causes our roots to take hold.

However it has been a lonesome walk (from having people close).

However, I know that I have encountered something new. I don’t know what it is yet, but I want Him to stretch me as I pursue Him like a newly married woman and passionately.

I want a pure, passionately loving, transparent heart, and I want it all. He is the only one who has my heart, and He knows how much I can handle: I want Him.

I cannot compromise or sugar coat what He gives me.

I shall forever ask The LORD for a pure and transparent heart, and that I will be a woman after God’s own heart.

I long for the times when The LORD woos me deeper still and gives me deeper realms in The Word, revelations, and mysteries for such a time as this.

Growing in maturity you can’t cut corners, becoming the best you can be, takes time, discipline, and obedience. It is by HIS nature and character that He desires us to grow into strength of character and His nature.

The LORD gets ALL the Glory and aren’t you glad you are alive to witness what He is doing and going to do!

We give you all the praise and Glory Lord!

In Jesus’ Name I decree, declare, and establish it as so! Amen and Amen!

 

In HIS Grace and Mercy,
