Understanding the ways of God |

The result of the fall of man has
affected the way mankind relates to
God.
Communication in a spiritual way was
broken.
We started seeing with our eyes and
hearing solely with our ears.
People do not see God, do not hear
God. Or know Him intimately, He is
so loving, caring, faithful to them.
Being able to see what is in God’s
Spirit is essential for the
spiritual life of His family.
Discerning the inner spirit comes
from knowing the Spirit.
You will not really know another
person without spending time with
them.
…you pick up on their wisdom and
their understanding.
You begin to discern the real life
that is there deep within. Not just
the surface.
Be able to read the heart of that
person, what they really think.
What makes them tick. The real life
deep within.
The real life,… born of the Holy
Spirit - Has been prepared for us to
live.
Communicating from our inner spirit
to His Spirit.
How do we do this? Is always the big
question.
It is lived by communication and by
the desire of our will.
First, my will has to be willing to
submit to His ways.
The word of God will not be opened
up to us by His Spirit, if we are
not willing to receive it.
We will not have the power to live
it, if we refuse to abide in its
conditions.
The measure you give of your life to
the Spirit, will be the measure you
have of Him.
This is part of the divine order,
the ways of the Lord.
Likewise…No repentance, then we are
not forgiven.
If you do not forgive others, then
you will not be forgiven either.
Discerning the ways of God, you will
discern the will of God.
You will discern the heart and will
of man by the way they live.
What is in the heart of God and man
will come out.
Discerning the things of the Holy
Spirit will come from understanding
the H/S
Understand the will of God by the
word of God…. Revealed by His
Spirit.
If you do not understand it… then
you have to search His heart for it
by talking to Him.
Ask and you will receive ….
Searching His will by having a clean
and pure motive.
We gain the power of the spoken word
by submission to it. To His Ways.
You cannot say to a demon of lust,
Go from this persons body, if you
are lustful. Unclean spirit.
Resentful.
No willingness to deal with sin will
weaken the power of the word in you.
The word is not weak, but your
spirit will be. H/S not weak…but you
will be.
There can be no compromise, if we
want to see spiritual things.
Sin closes the window to the light,
we will remain unable to see, until
repentant.
If you do not see the ways of God,
nor the will of God… then ask
yourself why.
Before discerning the spirit of
others, learn first to discern your
own.
Do not try to judge others until you
have finished looking at your own
life.
1 Cor 2:6-10
God actually holds back certain
wisdom until we get wise to His
ways.
Less we hinder the work that He is
doing.
V9 There are things that he has
prepared in His heart to reveal to
you.
V10 The Holy Spirit longs to bring
truth, give discernment, wisdom etc.
BUT do we love Him enough to handle
some things that we will see and
understand?
How far do you want to go in
submitting to His ways?
How far will you go?
Share the truth with a friend?
Will you speak out in tongues?
Will you cast out a demon from a
persons life?
Will you be a voice?
Will you say it as it is and not
compromise His ways?
You will ! great… then your
discernment will increase, your
power will increase.
Get ready for more supernatural
wisdom to be released to you.
Insight is on its way. The window is
opening to the light again.
You will see the heart of heart of
God for yourself.
You will find His ways for your own
life rather than others helping you.
For He will lead you into all truth.
The church as a whole is not a bride
as yet, it is still immature.
It is not ready for birthing yet, it
is still a child, in adolescence.
Childish in behaviour, still growing
up.
BUT the time will come when the
bridegroom will say “Come up here
all you who have made yourself
ready, washed your robes in the
blood of the lamb, who have
submitted to the purity of the word
and the work of the Spirit, come”
