That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. Ephesians 1:17.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
In our prior life lesson we were discussing how you get the facts to line up and conform with the truth by faith so that you have a life of good days. This would be ordering your days aright and redeeming the time.
Grace and truth have met together; righteousness and shalom peace have kissed each other. Truth sprouts from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. Indeed, the LORD will give what is good, and our land will yield its produce. Righteousness will go before Him and will make His footsteps into a way. Psalm 85:10-13.
Grace and truth come in Jesus Christ, they are realized together in Him by revelation for He is the Light of the world and the light of life as well as the life of light.
Yesterday, from David’s faith journey from defeat to triumph, there were certain steps he followed to see this happen that are applicable to all, but above all, the reason David was able to step up and walk it out by faith was because of his years of fellowship with Me. He knew Me and the degree of strength and level of faith you have in a time to trial is determined by the degree you know Me.
Then my enemies will turn back on the day when I call; this I know, that God is for me. In God, whose word I praise, in the LORD, whose word I praise, in God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. What can mankind do to me? Psalm 56:9-11.
And the degree you know Me and the degree you seek fellowship with Me is the degree of revelation light you will receive. And when you are faced with challenging facts that your emotions are trying to skyrocket over, it is when revelation comes from the My Word to your heart that the struggle is over. You then head out in perfect confidence of overcoming all.
I sought the LORD and He answered me, and rescued me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4.
And My apostle Paul knew Me well.
For I know Him [and I am personally acquainted with Him] whom I have believed [with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in the truth of His deity], and I am persuaded [beyond any doubt] that He is able to guard that which I have entrusted to Him until that day [when I stand before Him]. 2 Timothy 1:12.
Now you followed my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, perseverance, persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me! 2 Timothy 3:11.
So what was the conclusion of how to go about getting facts to meet the truth as you stay in perfect peace? Get your eyes off the problem and onto Me, encourage yourself in My promises and prior help, turn your attention to Me seeking My answer and seek until you know you have it (it will revive your soul and light your path), then answer the problem, “Oh no, I am not going down I will recover all and more!” and go forward as quickly as you can and let Me lead you as you go and be quick to pick up prompts, directions, and signs I send as you proceed.
Always seek My Will and once you know it get the facts to line up. And they will, they have no choice once you have made the choice. But knowing My Will in any given situation takes revelation light which comes according to the degree of attention you are giving My Words. The more interested you are in hearing from Me, the more you will hear. Those who seek Me find Me. But you will not avidly seek what you do not appreciate nor desire. If you want to operate in the gifts of the Spirit, I tell you that you must seek them earnestly and at the same time be pursuing love. What you love you want to know more about and spend time with in fellowship, partnership, and ultimately covenant.
The disciples of Jesus followed Him and stayed with Him because they were interested in Him, but more than that, they were attracted to His Words, His ways, His love, and the revelation they received from Him into living an abundant and extraordinary life of blessing. They were willing and eager to learn from Him, to follow His instructions, and imitate His ways, for they saw how successfully He faced any disease, lack, fear, storm, opposition, and made what was hopeless until a beautiful place of hope realized and manifested in healings, provision, signs and wonders. And He invites all to this very day to come to Him if you are weary and burdened and he will refresh you and offer you the opportunity to learn from Him how to turn contrary facts into truth: And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God. Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you. Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions.” Mark 11:22-26.
Have faith in God.” It begins where everything began, by faith. I had conceived the plan in My heart from everlasting and I birthed it at the perfect time by releasing it unto manifestation by speaking it out by faith. The Holy Spirit hovered waiting for the Word and when it was breathed forth He took it to completion and birthed it in truth.
To change facts to line up with the truth it has to be done by faith in My Word, which is the truth. And faith in My Word only comes about if you know My Word. You do not know that I have already made healing yours if you do not read My Word. You will be begging me for something you already have.
Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. Romans 10:17.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word concerning the good news of your salvation, which covers every area of your life—spirit, soul, and body. You are saved completely and perfectly to the uttermost to rule and reign in life through Christ Jesus. Romans 5:17.
So you see that changing facts to line up with the truth (My Will) requires knowing and believing in what My Will is, but once you know by hearing and hearing My Word, you have all you need to answer the facts and bring about the perfect result in great peace. Great peace (the double portion of shalom) have those who keep their minds stayed on Me (and I am My Word). Anchor you mind in My Word and then you can move the mountain that is in the way of My Will being done on earth as it is in Heaven. What you bind on earth is bound in Heaven, and what you declare loosed on earth is loosed in Heaven.
“Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him.” And as you hear My Word you will find the Word that revives you and directs you to victory. Use it and speak to the mountain in your way. It could be the mountain of despair, discouragement, sickness, defeat, depression, fear, anxiety, lack, pain, or any other negative and toxic things. And don’t back down to it because it feels like you cannot move it off you, feelings are not stable and should not be succumbed to. Stay on the Word. Agree with Me that you are an overcomer and not a quitter and not a coward and I can strengthen you and help you. It is I who make you the overcomer you just have to agree with Me by faith and I can provide the rest.
Speak boldly to the mountain until it comes down, for come down it must. Jesus only spoke to the fig tree once and then walked off before seeing the result. But that word of command went to work from the roots up and by the next day the tree had obeyed.
Always know that I had the solution prepared and all walked out before you even knew you would have a problem. You just have to take it by faith.
And then cast out the unclean spirit that is behind the trouble in Jesus’ Name.
“Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.” After answering the mountain that is blocking My Will by contrary facts, you then turn to Me for all good things to make you whole, to restore to you whatever the devil stole in the attack. In prayer you can cast all your care on Me because I care for you to bring you through with honor, blessings, provision, healing and peace. I am present as your helper to see you through to triumphant victory.
And believe you receive the moment you pray and you show this by joyful thanksgiving expressed in songs, shouts, and cries of joy! And that is all you do after you have prayed and cast the care on Me, do not keep begging and asking over and over. Know I took care of it and thank Me expecting to see the perfect result that is in the truth of My Word.
And there is one final step to see your miracle through, “Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in heaven forgive your transgressions.” You must forgive yourself and others, your heart must be right to receive because faith works by love. You cannot be walking filled with bitter roots and think you have an open door to healing. No you have shut your door tight with bitter roots and though I am answering your prayers, you cannot open to receive them because of the bitter roots entwining your door.
Also, never forget that the standard with which you judge others I must use back on you, that is a spiritual law that is set forever. If you will not forgive others as I forgive you, that is, by the payment for sins with the blood of Jesus, then it is not enough to forgive your sins either (though it is more than enough but I must use your standard back on you) and I am unable to apply it to you. Be very careful about this and do not lose your blessings because you would not let yourself forgive.
And those are the steps Jesus gave to His disciples when they inquired of Him how He had made the fig tree wither up by speaking to it.
I love you. Go and do the same. Take authority over contrary facts by My Word of truth and watch them back down and change. And that is how you are to spread the Garden of Eden to every place. Start by planting it in your heart.
