One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. Luke 6:12.
My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer. Psalm 45:1.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.” John 5:24.
About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. Luke 9:28.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God says:
Inspiration and revelation don’t just happen, they come to a heart centered on Me. They come to those who actively seek Me. They come to those whose eyes are on Me. David sang, “as the eyes of a servant are on the hands of his master, so our eyes are on the Lord our God.” Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah stepped aside out of the fear and turmoil of the enemies surrounding them into the sanctuary of My temple and put their eyes on Me. And I revealed to them the answer to their situation. In worldly terms their situation looked like certain defeat, but in My eyes, it looked like an opportunity for an astounding victory of power. Revelation changed their information and brought about manifestation within twenty-four hours.
Solomon understood. When I told him to ask Me for whatever he wished, he asked for a heart that hears, a “hearing heart,” that he would make wise decisions in governing the people. He knew he had to hear from Me and receive My wisdom and revelation. And only a heart centered and focused on Me is a hearing heart. Others have a hardened and stony heart, which does not hear.
I live in you by My Spirit and you have the problem solver in you. But if you never get in touch with Me, even though I am there, you cannot hear. If you are only look outside yourself for the answers to your problems and for revelation in your life, you will not receive the divine revelation and inspiration that is there for you within.
Paul received great revelation because his heart was centered on Me. Even when your heart is centered on Me in error, like Paul when he was breathing out murderous threats against those who belonged to the Way (followed Jesus as Messiah and Lord) and was chasing them to bring them bound to Jerusalem, he was completely consumed with zeal for the One who he believed me to be. He was completely focused on the idea of who he thought I was and was striving to honor Me. He was thus open to the vision of My Son and once he understood who I truly was, he remained just as zealous for Me in the new understanding as he was in his old error. He was always seeking to please Me, it just took revelation to show him the truth. But once he had it, he ran with it.
Seek Me and you shall find Me. Moses had to withdraw to the mountain top to center on Me and receive revelation. Later he went into the holy of Holies and in the silence there he heard My voice and received revelation from above the mercy seat, above the cherubim.
Daniel went to his room and opened the windows towards where the temple had stood in Jerusalem and sought Me in prayer seven times a day. His heart was never anywhere but centered on Me. And he was able to receive extraordinary revelation, to the exact years and days of the Messiah and on to the tribulation and the Kingdom to come. You are still unfolding his revelations.
And John took his exile to Patmos, not as a setback, but as an opportunity to spend quality time with Me away from the chaos of the world and I took him up to the third Heaven and revealed to him the things to come.
Paul told Timothy to fan into flame the spiritual gift that had been given him in the laying on of hands. Do not let it remain idle, actively pursue the spiritual gifts for through them comes revelation and impartation of the divine wisdom and knowledge and power.
Elijah ran from the tumult of the world and went to Mt. Horeb and there He heard My still quiet voice of peace. There he was restored for his kingdom assignments.
Jesus went to up mountains to be alone with Me and receive revelation and inspiration. He awoke early before others were about and went to deserted places to pray. He continually communed with Me. His heart was centered only on Me and all else radiated out from that.
When you stop the distractions of your mind and center on Me in a quiet and calm heart for even a few moments before answering, revelation and inspiration can freely flow from your heart to others as rivers of living water.
Paul prayed that the eyes of your heart would be enlightened to know the hope of My calling, the riches of the glory of the inheritance I have for you who believe, and the power I have put in you who believe. This is revelation and inspiration. He prayed that you would have a revelation of the vastness of My love and be centered and grounded in it until you were full of My fullness, complete in every way. He exhorted you to keep your thoughts above where Christ is seated at My right hand, to cast all your cares on Me and live in constant love and thanksgiving.
Many people do not fellowship with Me and do not partner with Me in their work because they feel that they have disappointed Me and lost My approval. Until you renew your mind to what I have given you in Jesus, you cannot approach Me with the confidence with which I tell you to come to My throne of grace. Not the great white throne of Judgment, the throne of grace. If you have taken Jesus as your Lord, you have eternal life, and you do not come into judgment, but have passed out of death into life. John 5:24.
Do not filter your image through what you have learned from the world system. The world judges by appearance and by what you do. So many of you define yourself by your work. And you carry that over into My Kingdom when you are of the mindset that you have to work for Me to gain My approval. You have My approval already, now you can work with Me on your kingdom assignments. For I have prepared a life of good deeds for you in advance that you might enjoy it.
Should you fall into sin or just miss doing the good you think you should have done, do not back away from Me and hide in fear, that is what Adam did. He no longer felt he could walk with Me in the breezy time of the day. He feared punishment. But if you confess your sin, I am faithful and true to forgive you and cleanse you of all unrighteousness. Never run away from Me, always run to Me and let Me make you right again. Stay in the light. When you have done wrong, do not lie about it and hide it or you will be running all your life in fear. Get rid of the fear by confessing and telling the truth. The truth will set you free.
You learn fear in the world system, but I did not give you a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind. I restore your soul (mind, will and emotions). You are still walking in the valley of the shadow of death in this world, but I am with you, so you need not fear. Psalm 23:4. I lead you out and I lead you in.
Fear can stop you in your tracks and keep you chained in darkness. In fear you cannot receive revelation and inspiration. But Jesus came to set the captives free and heal the broken hearted. He came to cleanse your conscience from dead works and bring you to operate in the Kingdom, even now, in the earth realm.
Until you renew your mind to know you own everything Christ died to give you, including Christ Himself, you really cannot walk in the authority I have given you. It is vital for you to understand who you are and what you own in Christ. He has made you holy, blameless, and beyond reproach before Me.
This takes revelation and inspiration. Information is good but revelation makes it yours and makes it alive in your life. It gives life to the dead. Arise, sleeper, and Christ will give you light. Revelation light.
Call on Me and I will answer you and tell you great and mighty things. But you have to focus your attention on Me to call. I call your name, for I am always focused on you. My eyes roam to and fro across the earth seeking those whose hearts are centered on Me to show Myself strong on their behalf. Like I did for Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah, as I did for Hezekiah, as I did for Elizabeth, as I did for Mary, as I did for Peter and Paul, and myriads of others, and as I desire to do for you.
But you have to be seeking Me for direction to come in revelation and inspiration. If you want direction from Heaven, supernatural insights, you have to put your heart there. Jesus told you to go to your room, close your door, and pray to Me in the secret place and I would reward you. Shut out the distractions, calm down and rest in revelation. Let it flow from Me to you, from My Spirit to yours. Come to the throne of grace, the Holy of Holies, where all is in perfect shalom and receive the revelation, inspiration, strength, skill, and answers you need just when you need them. I have already seated you there with Me in Christ. Take advantage of your position and come up here.
Keep your eyes on Jesus. Keep your eyes on My Word. David sang that he sought Me early, at dawn. Each morning My mercies are new. In fact, he would wake the dawn with his song to Me of praise. I reward those who seek Me with all their hearts.
And an excellent way to receive revelation is as I speak to you and open your heart, write it down. Write the vision down and it will become clearer. I gave Moses all the details for the plans of the tabernacle and he wrote them down exactly, like a blueprint for the builders to follow. David did the same for the temple that Solomon would build. And he said that the answers came as he was writing them down. Write the vision down on tablets so that the reader can run with it. Let your heart is stirred by a noble theme as you recite verses for the King of kings; let your tongue be the pen of a skillful writer. Psalm 45:1-2.
I love you. Come away with Me for a little while and receive inspiration, revelation and impartation. It only can come to a heart that is centered on Me. Remember, where your heart is, there will your treasure be.
