You Are Not The Potter, You Are His Witness – part II

“Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.”

Isaiah 64 : 8 

Indeed the awareness of these crooked things around you is no mistake. God purposed it that way.

See, we often forget that we are not called to judge one another according to our own understanding, but rather pray for those we see stumbling in one way or another.

When the Lord calls for us to discern between what is right in His sight and what is not, we often confuse that as the permission to use what higher things we know to condemn those who are yet to come into higher wisdom.

Friend, we are not given the wisdom to condemn but rather to add more to our own faith in the Lord and to believe that there is power of renewal in our tongues when we intercede in prayer for one another.

You see the spiritual need. Pray about it for your brother or sister in Christ. Is this too not part of our calling as the body of the Living Christ?

Is this not what it means to be a witness?

If we, being called by HIS Name, humble ourselves, and pray, would we not see God renew the minds of the ones that seem harder to reach by the Word?

We are all works of God’s mighty and all-knowing hands, so how is it possible that we condemn anyone when we ourselves are still being molded?

Friend, we are not the Potter, we are His clay, and we are also His witness.

Even as I recounted my discernment to closed ones, I heard the Spirit remind me to choose my words carefully as not to condemn another work of God’s hand regardless of what HE has shown me about them.

I am extending this message to you too today.

How carefully do you choose your words when you rightfully discern between what is right and wrong among God’s people? Are you speaking from your own knowledge or the wisdom of heaven?

Indeed the challenges of the kingdom in us, are many, but I thank God for a willing heart of obedience. I trust that HE that started a good work in every one of us will faithfully bring it to completion.

As we are steered in a new direction by the Shepherd, may our minds, hearts, spirits, and tongues be renewed with love and hope in Jesus name. May we be enabled to bless each other and intercede for one another. May we not cause each other to sin or stumble, but rather reach out our hands to lift each other up in prayer and kindness in Jesus name. Amen.

You Are Not The Potter, You Are His Witness – part I

“Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.”

Isaiah 64 : 8 

We serve a strategic God. God is so intentional in the things He calls your attention to and how. Recently, I felt the Lord steer me into a new direction and a new place of gathering to further fuel my passion for His word and His purpose in me.

At first, I was unaware of the strange budding feelings about my intimate surroundings, then one night, when it was time for the veil to be removed completely, the Lord revealed as only HE Can.

Friend, do you remember that we are not the Potter, but we are HIS clay? How often do you forget that you are called to witness HIS moldings rather than be caught up trying to forcefully mold others?

Often times as believers, we feel compelled to mold or in influence those around us to seek God a certain way or pursue after purpose a certain way, to discard their evil ways and renew their minds and hearts according to the word of God, often times, it is to no avail.

I never forget that I too once missed God’s bigger picture. Thank God for grace.

I know this to be so because I know now more than ever that there is only One Potter. There is Only One God, and HE alone is in control of the lives HE is molding.

Before I arrived at the crossroads of departing from a setting that has become dear to my heart, I had to first conquer the struggle within me, one that many of us often battle with, judging our fellow brothers and sisters in what we believe is their lack of faithfulness to a faithful God.

We often perceive the ways of others as an hindrance to our growth in the spirit, often concluding that their lack of deeper pursuit for the deeper things of God is what is causing the strange feelings in our Spirit when we get around them.

But the Spirit of the Lord is reminding us today, that we are not The Potter, we are HIS witness. FINISH READING HERE

Battle Of The spirits

“Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.”

2 Corinthians 10:5

So many spirits, so many forces of darkness and evil, yet ONE HOLY SPIRIT is the armor against them all. I thank God almighty for His Holy Spirit.

I am in a state of awe as I continue to witness the many wonders of God through His sons and daughters in this place of destiny. The out-pour of revelations from the Most High about who I am and what I am assigned to do here has been nothing short of overwhelming.

Before, during, and after a week-long fasting, the Lord has ordered me once again to leave my place of employment and to walk fearlessly along destiny’s trail.

This time, there was no fear nor hesitance, just Yes. I give Him glory for clarity.

I dare not be pretentious about the many battles of the spirits that I have encountered in these past weeks. This has been the toughest and most challenging path into purpose. As the word of God continued to reach me and warn me against distractions, I began to see even clearer into the Higher realms of glory.

Friend, do you not know that any high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God surely must be cast down into the captivity of obedience?

There is no confusion in God nor the Holy Spirit.

Those spirits of commotion, disharmony, violence, jealousy, envy, hate, despair, sorrow, wickedness, lack of compassion, dishonesty, and so many others, are not of the Lord your GOD!

The Lord wants us to come in alignment with Him about everything so HE can bless our obedience bountifully. Meanwhile, other spirits rebel against the word of God in us because they are aligned with the flesh and its desires.

Ever wonder how your day suddenly turns upside down and you can’t really explain why? You woke up with the joy of the Lord but by midday, that gladness has waned? or you feel less energy to be happy and share a smile and a word of encouragement to another?

There are spirits that are battling one another to get close to the gates of your mind. All they need is the slightest opening – an offensive word, an offensive behavior from another, a misplaced plan that resulted in disappointment, the slightest dissatisfaction.

All they need is one way to make way into the crevices of your mind.

Thus you and I cannot waver on the armor of God every single day.

Friend, the Holy Spirit is your gatekeeper! The Spirit of God is the One who repels the power of ungodly things because it is a divine and impenetrable barrier that the Lord has placed inside of you.

I urge you today to FEED THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOU.

Don’t go another day without the awareness that your armor against the spirits of this world, must be sharpened each day to stay in alignment with the glorious word of God!

May the Lord of Hosts revive us yet again today with the renewal of mind, body, and spirit to walk this walk of faith faithfully in Jesus name. Amen.
