I happened upon another eye-opening video to share with you today. When I see things like this, I believe Holy Spirit is opening my eyes and sometimes it may not be the most comfortable place to be if you understand what I am sharing with you today. Why is that I know the answer, it is time now when I am growing up and able to understand and cleanse my life from those, I put trust in and am now finding out that maybe I have been subtlety hood winked. Imagine that. When truth hits you right in the face so to speak you are both grateful but also dismayed and you begin to beat up yourself inside for being so gullible. Wasted time in your life following or being caught up in things you truly trusted in and now finding out maybe not so much and why did I allow myself to get sucked into the tantalizing words used that got me caught up. I am grateful for the pockets of divine revelation and Godly connection moments. As I look back there were supernatural encounters that took place in my life but at the same time, I may have put too much trust in words spoken over Holy Spirit speaking to me. That is what I regret not putting Holy Spirit words at times over the voices of people. I have repented for that, and I am washed by the blood of the lamb, and I will share the words of my testimony.
So, everyone nowadays seems to be talking about feelings, i.e. I feel ,,, type of words. I am currently working in a study course series guide by Kenneth E. Hagin, "The Holy Spirit and His Gifts." I took a several weeks long course at a local church back in Ohio years ago that taught on the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It was a small group of us that met, and it was a hands-on type of class. People you really did not personally know, and you were assigned a person in the group as one of the exercise assignments to seek Holy Spirit for a word to bring forth in their life. We then shared the next week and of course, the words brought forth were tested and confirmation was also sought that the word was a word from Holy Spirit. I do believe that in that time period in my life I had freedom at this little storefront type of church to also sing forth prophetic song of the Lord during worship. It was a season of mighty growth in my life. I do not even think that little church may be in existence today. Grateful for the training I received there. The bigger church back then was maybe not so pleased with breaking away to attend the smaller church since I believe this smaller church branched out from the big church in the same neighborhood distance wise that is. I was called out to attend this church sometimes for events/speakers they had and for attendance at other times. There comes a time in one's life that you are called to respond to Holy Spirit guidance in your life over the church that supposedly wants to have control of where one can go to worship or not. Grow up and listen to Holy Spirit's voice over the voices of man so to speak. Get the point. Your number 1 allegiance is to Jesus and not to a man, woman or church because one day you will stand before God and have to account for your life and actions you took in that life. I wonder if in that moment you will also have to be accountable for the times you did not step out in faith or assignments given to you by Holy Spirit.
Back to the study course revelation I read just yesterday. The chapter is titled, "The Holy Spirit Upon: His Infilling Power." In this chapter it point blank showed scripture wise we are not to walk by feelings but walk by faith. In reviewing the chapter right now something stands out to me to share with you all. On page 36 this is what it states, "The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is for fruit bearing. The infilling of the Holy Spirit is for service." I am going to share the whole page that discusses the importance of walking by faith and not by feelings if I may now.
