Hi there,
How are you today?
Let's learn together here today on moving into higher realm in God's revelation.
i believe you will find a thing or two that you need in life and ministry.
Moving up to higher revelation in God
After this I
looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I
heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither,
and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. Rev. 4:1;
Many times we
forget that God is a God of order. In Revelation chapter 1 verse 1, God sent His
angel to reveal what must shortly come to pass (The Revelation of Jesus Christ,
which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly
come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John).
This is what happens
to every one of us when we first accept Christ or receive ministry. We get to
know God and start to run in the direction our spirit is leading us, just to
make sure what must come to pass in life really comes to pass, but as we go on,
we get to a stage and realize, it’s like you are stocked or things are just not
working the way you want or expect them to, and no matter what you might be
running after for growth and more in different ways, nothing seems to work. And
you start asking what next.
I am about to
reveal to you from the word of God 4 secrets to higher ground in God or higher
revelations. This will blow your mind and change your theology about God,
growth, your knowledge and revelation.
Come along with me
as we go on:
In chapter 2 and 3
of Revelation, God began to reprove, reveal mistakes and correct his church,
showing them their wrongs, giving them solutions and the blessing that will
follow their obedience to His instructions.
(2 verse 1) Unto
the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth
the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden
candlesticks; (3 verse 1 & 3) And unto the angel of the church in Sardis
write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven
stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. 3. Remember therefore how thou hast received
and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will
come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon
thee.
God wants you to
examine yourself from stage to stage in your life so that you can access His
spiritual blessings
“Examine yourself
whether ye be in the faith…” 2Cor.13:5.
But in chapter 4,
we can see the secrets to higher ground or revelation in God.
Let us consider
these together:
After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in
heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking
with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be
hereafter. Rev. 4:1;
1. Look unto God: This is by your
effort. You must be determined to look unto God.
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. Heb. 12:2.
I will look up to the hills, from whence cometh my help?
My help cometh from the Lord, who made heaven and earth…” Psalm 121:1 – 2.
You must be
willing to let go of your past and move up to the realm where God alone will be
your focus in every area of your life and ministry.
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but
this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching
forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the
prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philip. 3:13 – 14.
When a plane flies
under the cloud during stormy whether there is turbulence but whenever it goes
above the cloud, the turbulence ceases and there is peace and calmness.
In life and
ministry a lot of things will come as distractions but you must be focused on
God. Then shall we know, if we follow on
to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come
unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. Hosea 6:3a.
2. See:
I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have
multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets. Hosea 12:10.
There are many
doors that God has already opened for you but until you look through the
spirit, watching, you will never be able to access them nor see them.
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the
spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41.
For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and
there are many adversaries. 1Cor. 16:9.
I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open
door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my
word, and hast not denied my name. Rev.
3:8.
3. Listen – Be ready to hear:
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower,
and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I
am reproved. 2. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make
it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Habakkuk 2:1 – 2;
God is always
watching and speaking to instruct you on your next level in life but you must
be willing to watch or listen for his instruction.
You cannot hear
from God if you are in the natural or have a pre-determined, planned method of
hearing from Him because He can use anything, speak through anything and
anybody to you.
4. Move up – You’ve got to move:
Many times God
wants a higher relationship with us but we are too comfortable of where we are
or too busy for Him to speak to us or move us to that higher position. He wants
to show us our future and the way to get there
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so
walk ye in him: Colos. 2:6.
God will
continually open your eyes, lift you and reveal more of Himself to you for
higher purposes in Jesus name!
