“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! Isaiah 53:1.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלוהים) says:
The path of life is a path of walking with Me. It is the path of eternal life. And it is a path of knowing.
Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. Genesis 5:22-24.
He became so close to Me that the transition over was just walking on right into My house. When you draw close to Me, I draw close to you. When you want to know more of Me, I reveal Myself to you. Moses asked to see My glory and I came and stood before Him and passed by him showing him My goodness and grace. Taste and see My goodness, happy are those who seek Me, for they find Me right there with them.
“He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” John 14:21.
Noah was so unusual in his awareness of Me that I saved the entire human race because of him. Never say you are not important. One man changed the future of the whole world by how he walked and that is why you are living today.
These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God. Genesis 6:9
And how can two walk together unless they agree? Unless they know each one the other.
I told Abraham to walk before Me and be blameless. The closer you walk with Me, the more like Me you become—pure, clean, true, blameless, righteous, and perfect.
Why is that? When you stay close to Me you are walking in the Spirit and not in the flesh.
When you make a decision to draw close to Me wonderful things happen. I can tell you things, show you things, and disclose to you things that are only seen and known in the Spirit and not in the flesh. I give you clarity on who you are as you go deeper into who I AM. It is then life becomes sweet and filled with peace. For when you align with Me, you align with yourself as well. Devine alignment of your spirit, soul, and body at a level beyond what you see in the flesh. I am Spirit and so are you, and that is where you truly see.
I want your journey on the path of life to be one of knowing—My knowing you and you knowing Me, a path of fellowship and of working together on projects in the earth. I walked with Adam and Eve each day in the Garden, we had close fellowship, and then one day they no longer ran to Me when I came but ran away and hid from Me. They stopped seeing things as I do, they had stepped out of the spirit into the flesh. They left the realm of light, that is, of knowing, to go into the realm of darkness, that is, of not knowing.
In the beginning darkness covered the earth and there was confusion and a void but then My Spirit hovered and I spoke LIGHT BE, everything changed from darkness to light. And now when you draw close to Me and open to My Spirit, I speak that LIGHT into you and all becomes new. The entrance of My Word gives light.
For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6.
And the more light you let in, the more light you become.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:17-18.
Walking with Me is waking in the Light, the Light of Life.
This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:5-7.
The darkness of the flesh has nothing to do with the light of the spirit, they are opposed. But when you let light in, the darkness must flee. When you submit to My Word as the truth and walk with Me you stay in the light and the evil one cannot touch you, he has to flee from you. Why? His darkness is driven out by your light. And that is the pure joy and strength of walking in My light, the darkness cannot overcome you and pull you down from your high places in Me.
But you can only stay in the light by staying in the Spirit, which means your spirit must take preeminence over your flesh. And the only way you can do that is by remaining, abiding, continuing in My Word, and letting My Word remain, abide and continue in you. For then you will know Me who am the Way, the Truth, and the Life and the truth will set you free as children of the Light. The Light of knowing.
Jesus, who is eternal life, defined eternal life as knowing Me, the one true God, and the one I sent, Jesus Christ. And knowing Me and My Son will make you abound in grace and truth as you grow in your knowledge of Me and become partakers of the divine nature, growing in virtue and abounding in peace, that is, wholeness in Me. In Jesus you are made complete.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. 2 Peter 1:2-4.
Love is My banner over your path and that is the banner of victory. I am Yahweh Nissi.
Jesus revealed Me and defined Me to you in many powerful ways. He showed Me as a Shepherd and you as My sheep that I lead, feed and care for, in fact, as the flock to whom it pleases Me to give My Kingdom and all I am. He revealed Himself as the vine, Me as the vinedresser and owner, and you as the abiding, fruitful branches full of our divine nature and producing fruit of the Spirit. He revealed Me as your loving, caring, forgiving, and giving Father who keeps seeking your return so I can reward you and keep you with Me in the abundance of My house always. And that was how He told you to call Me in prayer, “Father,” “Abba.” And He spoke of the new and everlasting Covenant by which we all become One in Him forever.
And I showed you Myself in My Covenant Names—The LORD who sees ahead and provides for you, the LORD your healer, your victory, your righteousness, your redeemer, your refuge, your fortress, your deliverer, your helper, your strength, your song, your peace, your rock, and your exceeding joy.
And My servant Paul knew Me but knew there was so much more to know. Above all He wanted to know Me and to be just like Me in his ways and thoughts and words. For there was the power and the glory of knowing and being known by the One who made you and loves you beyond love. The One who died and rose for you so that you are dead to sin and alive to Me forever.
Jesus told you that I am Spirit and that to worship Me (fellowship with Me) you must worship in spirit and in truth. How do you do that?
Look a moment at John exiled on the island of Patmos. The devil had persecuted him to the point that he thought he had cornered him in the flesh on a desolate and dry place of those left to die. But John was not stuck in that place and neither are you. What did he do? He stepped into the Spirit and saw a whole other realm that sustained him and gave him revelation of things to come that are still unfolding before your eyes physically but can only be understood in the revelation light of the Spirit.
I, John, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, saying, “Write in a book what you see, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.” Revelation 1:9-11.
And I proceeded to show him things about the churches and the world at that time that he could not have known but in the Spirit for their edification, exhortation, and encouragement, but then as he pursued deeper and deeper looking into the spirit, like Daniel had many years before when I showed him what was to come at the time of the Messiah and then on to the last days, I showed John great and mighty things such as no one had ever seen or heard before. But remember who John was—the one who loved Jesus to the point of being the only disciple at the foot of the cross and the first of the twelve to believe in the resurrection. And the first person to reveal Me as love. Not only that I have love but that I am love. And not only that I have light but that I am light. It pays to stay close to Me and to love My Word, for then I reveal Myself and My Son to you and we make our abode with you.
After these things I looked, and behold, a door open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like a trumpet speaking with me, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things.” Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was standing in heaven, and One sitting on the throne. And He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a sardius in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance. Around the throne were twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and golden crowns on their heads.” Revelation 4:1-3.
This should not be unusual for you. In Jesus, I have invited you all to come with confidence to My throne of grace and receive mercy and find grace just when you need it. And that invitation stands day and night. In fact, I have seated you there with Jesus, just like the elders on the thrones that John saw. But your seat is right in the middle of My throne with the Lamb.
What are you doing in your prayer time? Are you spending it in the flesh crying and moaning over your problem or are you coming up here where I am to get a whole new view and receive not only the answer to your need but the Word to prophesy over your nation.
Now, you must understand this or your walk with Me will be in the flesh and not in the spirit. When you pray you must first, like John on the island of Patmos, get in the Spirit. And how do you do that? The three powerful ways that lift you up to Me and bring Me down to dwell in and with you: Praise, prophecy, and promises. Let Me explain.
Praise is using My Word in exultant shouts, declarations, and songs of thanksgiving for what I am doing and praise for what I have done and will do. I come down and am enthroned on your praises because then I can go to work in, with, and for you for your eyes are off your problem and on Me the problem solver when you praise. This is the key of David that Paul and Silas used to open the prison in Philippi. They sang hymns of exultant praise of all I am and the blessings I give and have for you and they were released from their chains that bound them and all the gates that hindered their freedom flew open. And this for all the prisoners who heard their exultant Word songs. I joined in and sang songs of deliverance.
And remember Jehoshaphat and the three enemy armies attacking Jerusalem? They prayed and praised with glorious songs of My mercy and love with thanksgiving and I took care of the battle as I set ambushes in the camp and the three armies who had banded together to take Jerusalem captive destroyed one another! The atomic bomb of praise. Come up higher.
And prophecy in getting in the Spirit by taking My prophetic words as spoken by the prophets of old and declaring them come to pass. Such as Daniel did with Jeremiah’s prophecy of release and restoration after 70 years of exile when he saw that the years were coming to an end. And I heeded his prayer and sent the exiles back to rebuild the temple. He took the prophetic word and spoke it and it came to pass. Use My Words spoken into the earth by the prophets and agree with them as you hurry the vision to its end. I watch over My Word to perform it. And in fact, all My Word is prophecy in that it edifies, exhorts, and encourages.
Reading and speaking My Word lifts you up into the Spirit for My Words are Spirit and Life. Once you get immersed in My Word with the revelation light of the Spirit in you, you are in the Spirit and ready to hear divine communication from Me.
And the third is speaking, claiming, receiving, and singing My promises. You find these in My Names and those of Jesus. The promise of healing, of redemption, of righteousness, of sanctification, of divine help, of deliverance, of victory, of lovingkindness, of peace and I could go on and on. These promises make you partakers of My divine nature and lift you above the level of the flesh where these things are impossible.
When the Holy Spirit fell the first evidence was speaking with tongues and exalting Me with glorious praise for the mighty wonders I have done and do. Acts 2:11; Acts 10:46. And that is in the Spirit, not the flesh.
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Romans 8:6-9.
I love you. Walk with Me as I walk with you. And know Me as I know you. I will make you beautiful with Salvation. Walking in the light, clothes you in light. Walking in love, clothes you in love. And walking in peace, clothes you in peace. And walking in joy, clothes you in joy. And walking with Me, clothes you in Me. I am clothed in majesty and wrap Myself in Light. Prophesy with Me and you will become a whole new you, the you that is really you. Walk with Me into your true identity.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14.
