Prophetic Series - Day 21


Hello everyone, welcome to another day in this Prophetic Series. I want to believe we have been enjoying it and that the prophetic dimension to your life and ministry are being stirred up. Today, we are looking closely at:
ACTIVATING YOUR SPIRITUAL SENSES AND SHARPENING YOUR DISCERNMENT.
This is a very important aspect of the Christian life and more importantly, the ministry of a Prophet. One major reason a person is regarded as a prophet is because of the ability to see and hear what an average person doesn't know.
Let's talk about senses first of all.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF SENSES
Many people including Christians are only aware of the Physical Senses and they think that is where it ends. Well, you will soon find out if they are correct.
For every human being, God's plan is that YOUR SENSES WILL ALWAYS EXIST ON THREE LEVELS;
SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY.
But, sin and alienation from the very Life of God has made most of us to view and judge our lives and other things from the standpoint of the body alone.
We have the FIVE NATURAL SENSES; FOR SEEING, FOR HEARING, FOR TASTING, FOR SMELLING AND FEELING.
Let me shock just in case you don't know before that YOUR SOUL ALSO HAS THE FIVE SENSES THAT PERFORMED THE ABOVE FUNCTIONS.  Someone is confused now. Wait, let me explain.
Your Soul is connected to your spirit as well as your body so much so that every action that you perform either naturally or spiritually has effect on your soul.
When you see something for example, it doesn't end there. Those things are stored up in your soul for reference purpose and for the measurement of good and bad as far as that particular thing is concerned. Are you still lost?
Take for example, you can buy a flower for a Lady and the effect of the gift can be abnormal. What do I mean? If the guy that jilted her commenced the relationship by buying Flower, the memory suddenly comes back. Both you and the gift are now viewed in the light of the former person. Hmm! This reaction is about the senses of the soul. The physical senses would have said the flower is beautiful, Whao! I love it. But, the Soulish senses say 'this is the same type of flower that John bought for me before he broke my heart'. Have you gotten it now? Your Soul has the Five Soulish Senses to relate with the Soulish World.

What about my spirit? Are you saying my spirit also have senses? Emphatically Yes.
            Proof 1
Heb. 5:14 says 'But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil'.
Notice that the word 'SENSES' is pluralized here. This verse could never have been talking about either the Physical or Soulish Senses. Studying the chapter contextually reveals this. Okay. Are there scriptures apart from this one that buttress this your assertion? Yes.

           PROOF 2
A. THE EYES
You see, out of our Five Natural Senses, the eye seem to be the most used sense.  You don't really use your sense of taste when you are fasting, but, you use your eyes even more than other Natural Senses. I believe this is one major reason the Bible has more things to say about it than every other.  Below are some of the many scriptures that address the Spiritual Eyes:
Eph. 1:17-18, 2 KGS. 6:15-17, Mt. 5:8, 7:1-5, 13:9-16, Mk. 8: 17-18, Luke 4:18.

B. TASTE
The Sons of the prophet were able to discern death in the food that they ate naturally. 2Kgs. 4:40, Eze. 3:1-3, PS. 34:8, Rev. 10:9. God can communicate spiritual realities to us by making our taste bud to have the sense of tasting food. Please, don't bring eating in the dream into this case.

C. SMELL
2 Cor. 2:14. It is used in detecting the kind of spirit present in a place either good or bad. It is the 'I SENSE' spiritual sense. You can smell demons and angels just like you can perceive the odour of a friend of yours even when you haven't seen the person. Angels as well as demons do give off odour. I can give you many examples along this line.

D. TOUCH
Luke 8: 43-46. It is the used for feeling things spiritually. It is mostly used also in Impartation. You see, prophets can know many things about you just by touching you.
Just like your Natural Senses, the Spiritual Sense of Smell, Taste and Touch work/function by proximity. You have to be in the environment of what you want to smell, taste or feel.
E. EAR
Pro. 20:12, Mt. 13:9, 13-16, Rev. 3:6
Both the Seeing and Hearing can happen whether you are close or not.
 ACTIVATING YOUR SPIRITUAL SENSES.
God can decide to sovereignly activate any of your spiritual senses to serve its will but, the percent is very small compared to those that had to something to activate it.

Prayer of Enquiry

PRAYER OF ENQUIRY Prayer is a well established and accepted doctrine in all denominations of the body of Christ. Although, there are differences in our modes of prayer, we all believe in the efficacy of lifting up our voice to God to hear our requests and answer them. As much as we do a lot of this, we don't take the full advantage of it as children of God. We would rather worry and think things through rather than calling on God for help. This can be due to lack of faith in the power of God or being slothful in prayers. Apart from the aforementioned factors that prevent us from enjoying the efficacy of prayers, one key factor that prayer hinges on is praying correctly. To pray correctly simply means to pray according to the will of God. It is easy to know the will of God about sickness and poverty because they are expressly written in bible, but even at this, we still do not get answers when we pray. What you might be missing out may be a simple enquiry. The prayer ...

Holy Spirit 15- The Seven Spirits of God- Part 2

We have established yesterday that the 7 Spirits of God describe the 7 fold distinct manifestation of the Holy Spirit and it also describes the perfection of the Spirit of God. The answer to yesterday's quiz is: when God stepped into the matter in Eden, the 7 persons brought by the number 7 are: Adam, Eve, Physical Serpent, spiritual Serpent (the Devil), the Seed of the Woman (Jesus the Christ), the seed of the spiritual serpent (Antichrist) and God Himself . Re- read Day 14 to know how this fit in. Today's Broadcast 2. THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM Is. 11:2, Eph. 1:17 This is the Spirit that reveals to you the PLANS AND PURPOSES OF GOD CONCERNING YOUR LIFE, A MATTER, PLACE, etc. If you will ever know why you are on earth, you need the operation of the Spirit of Wisdom. He reveals EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING about the future. There are 3 prominent Greek words used for Wisdom relevant to our subject; SOPHIA, SUNESIS and PHRONESIS. A. SOPHIA describes the entire wisdom of God. T...

Holy Spirit 4- The Symbol of Dove

Mt. 3:16, Mk. 1:10. This typifies the harmless and gentle nature of God the Holy Spirit. He neither FORCE NOR FUSS ANYONE. It is only the Devil that force people and even afflict them without their consent. The Holy Spirit IS NOT a dove; He created the dove. Luke 3:22 says 'the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily form like a dove upon Him'. Many have wrongly interpreted this verse and that's why many church logos have the dove as an integral part of it. You need to know that the church can NEVER COME INTO HER FULL POTENTIAL AND RELEVANCE ON THE EARTH UNTIL SHE KNOWS (knowledge with participation-Greek EPIGNOSIS) the Holy Spirit. The person that designed the handbill for EPIGNOSIS Nite had already put a Dove there to represent 'the Holy Spirit'. I told him to remove it. The symbols in most cases are already becoming an idol in many people's hearts and rather than for many to think of the Holy Spirit as a person, they think of Him as a dove/fire/wind,etc. T...
