Hello everyone, welcome to another edition of the Supernatural Series. We are still looking at how to flow in the supernatural. Today, I will be talking about
C. BE LED BY THE SPIRIT
Rom 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
There are times the understanding of the Greek and Hebrew used in a verse is necessary to accurately discern the writer's intention. The word 'son' here lay serious emphasis on maturity. It is the same word used to refer to Jesus as Son of man/God.
HUIOS- talks about a son whose difference between the father and him is indiscernible. A state where the son has completely become the Father. That you are born of God doesn't mean you have become like God immediately. All you have is the potential and not actual reality of it. It is just like saying a day old child is a father. Yes he is but, that is a futuristic statement. One of the craziest things I have heard this year is that 'there is nothing like spiritual maturity. A believer doesn't need to grow, he is already like God'. Sometimes, it is better to hear the lullabies of mosquitoes than to hear folks like that.
Back to our text.
The word 'led' in this context is in a PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE. In other word, that you were led last week is not the end. ROM. 8:14 SAYS YOU MUST BE CONSTANTLY LED BY THE SPIRIT. This verse has a lot of relationship with ROM. 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
FAITH DOESN'T COME FROM HAVING HEARD. NO, FAITH COME BY THE PRESENT CONTINUOUS HEARING OF GOD'S WORD. This settles a lot of issues and explain why you could get result in particular line one time and the same you couldn't get the same kind of result again. I've been there before. I've exercised my faith to turn water to kerosene before yet, the same me couldn't back up a friend of mine to get the same result another time. Someone can say, maybe it's not God's will to do it. No, the word that produced that result has gone into the past tense.
But, what should I do?
I learnt the answer some years ago;
Heb. 11:15 (Amp) If they had been thinking with [homesick] remembrance of that country from which they were emigrants, they would have found constant opportunity to return to it.
What is the relationship between this passage and getting result?
You bring the Word of God that produced result in your past to your present by thinking/meditating upon that Word, thank God for that word and the result that came from acting on it, as you do, God will make it possible for you to return to that state of victory. May God give you understanding.
How does the resources from Heaven know where to land?
It looks for the substance of faith that called for it in the first place. It means YOU MUST STAY IN FAITH UNTIL YOUR ANSWER COMES TO YOU. IF NOT, HEAVEN'S RESOURCES WILL RETURN TO WHERE IT CAME FROM.
FAITH DIRECT HEAVEN'S RESOURCES TO YOU. If you order things from Heaven and you get discouraged or out of faith before your answer comes, YOU CAN'T GET ANYTHING FROM GOD.
BACK TO OUR SUBJECT
You have to be constantly led by the Spirit. The reasons are numerous. We live in a planet that things are constantly changing. This is where people that place undue emphasis on OBEYING THE LETTERS OF THE WORD AT THE EXPENSE OF OBEYING THE SPIRIT OF THE WORD will get into plenty of trouble.
Listen, Jesus says in Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. But, have you read how the Holy Spirit forbade the Disciples from going to a city to preach. Acts 16:6-7?
Is it that the Spirit doesn't agree with the Word? No. The Holy Spirit forbade them because those cities weren't ready yet at that time for the Gospel. Listen, thank God for ZEAL. Zeal is a perquisite for operating in the supernaturas. But, DISCERNMENT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ZEAL. I learnt this from a MOUNT ZION FILM called THE FORGOTTEN ONES(a Missionary Film).
Look at Abraham. God told him to go and sacrifice his son in one of the mountains of Moriah that He would show him. Gen. 22. Abraham set out to go. The instruction on the first day was 'kill the boy'. One hour to the time, 'kill the boy'. Five minutes to the time, 'kill the boy'. But, between the knife and the head of the boy, the instruction change. Can you imagine what would have happened if Abraham had not been sensitive to God's leadings, he would have cut off off Isaac's head. To flow in the supernatural, you must keep in step, be in phase and alignment, constantly in tune with the Tour Guide and Administrator of the Will of God in this planet-THE HOLY SPIRIT. Praying in tongues will do a lot of good here.
