Rivers of Living Water...

Not really any advice so much as to say that what I have learned is trust is earned. You do not automatically trust anyone just because they show up in our lives. I have done that too many times to count and I have been burned as a result. But society tells us that we should give a person the benefit of the doubt until they do something. Well, I adhered to that (and surely I’m not the only one) and I have hated the day that I did. I have learned to trust him in that area first. The word tells us that if acknowledge him first and he’ll direct us. Whenever I meet people now, that’s what I do. He has never failed to tell me whether or not to go forward in the relationship and he has been faithful to never let fail as long as I trust him. The Bible says that we have a unction to know all things (1 John 2:22). You know how you meet someone and automatically you really don’t like them? They said something or they did something and you just knew. But everyone else liked them, so we tend to go against it because we feel like we haven’t given a person a chance, but that’s G-d attempting to warn us. That’s your unction. After you see what you see, ask G-d to confirm it. Believe it or not, he warns us before we enter in with people. Usually we miss it and we when look back it was clear.

But in general to overcome challenges, write the book of Deuteronomy. You would be amazed at how well it works. Write/type your own personal copy and read it(Deuteronomy 17:18-20). I know what it sounds like but, it works. Take your time and write. It was addressed for kings and revelation 1 does say that we are kings and priests. I also have to state the anointing in our church should be enough to cause deliverance in us. If we struggle, it’s either our lack of application of what we are being taught or we have outgrown the place. The word in a place should both stretch us and challenge us to grow. The level of word should teach us new things that we never saw and the revelation there should be enough to fight any battle with.

Now I know this is weird, but I don’t tend to invite too many people to my church. Only people that are truly hungry for the word, relationship with G-d and real change in their lives. If you come because you heard he’s a multimillionaire, a prophet, that he buys houses and cars for people in his congregation he’ll quickly read your spirit and you won’t stay anyway. Anyone still doing things the old way like in the life they were supposed to have given up, won’t last nor be comfortable unless they CHANGE. When I first went, he had the word but he was hitting me so hard personally that I left angry. But I was ready for change. Secretly I loved him--I had never heard such a word before. Nothing like it on TV or anywhere. But my FLESH. I had to go 2 more times before I knew he was the one. G-d confirmed and I have never been more blessed and never so attacked either. The enemy fights your change with attacks. He figures that you’ll give up and go back to the old way. I decided to go on through. The change in me and my walk is on a higher level.
So I have learned that everyone won’t enjoy a prophetic anointing. Too personal. He’ll tear your mess up! With that said, I have to tell you that I have been a member of the biggest C.OG.IC ministry here--2 years and then one of the largest Nondenominational churches here- 3 years. Just a little time with G-d and I found out how G-d really viewed things. I had no lasting changes at either place. Good little shouting messages--but still struggling at home. My point, It takes getting to the right place for real deliverance to break out in our lives. Ask anyone who has found their place and they will tell you the same. And even then, it’s a process.

Be Blessed.

Chosen.
