YAHWEH’s People,

GOD is ready and willing to give you what He has predestined for you. However, you’re delaying it because your faith isn’t at the level it needs to be, that is, open and willing, ready to receive, having an expectation of GOD to move by His WORD; the belief in the promises of GOD, as they lay upon your life. GOD always talks to me, first, concerning me, before I’m able to share the message with His People, [2 Corinthians 1:20].

Last week, GOD shown me that in order for me to receive my next level of elevation, I must first have a willing mind, [2 Corinthians 8:12-14]. The mind is the organ that must be trained while the heart already has the right position. The mind is always trying to wander off and veer from what GOD’s directions and instructions are; it’s the mind that is wayward and is always in need of correction. The heart loves GOD but the mind can oftentimes doubt GOD. You do know that GOD weighs the motives of the heart, [Proverbs 21:2]. In our efforts to keep the mind aligned, we must realize that the only way to keep control over the mind is to keep it fixated on The LORD, [Isaiah 26:3].

In order to receive elevation, one must be willing to examine their mind, their thoughts and actions, to weigh it against the heart’s belief in The only true & living GOD. He told me that I need to understand that when I do get into position, I’ll be faced with the enemy’s tactics to distract, detour, and to isolate me, in efforts to keep me from that which GOD has already spoken into existence over my life.

The enemy comes to steal, kill, and to destroy (John 10:10), but GOD came that we may have life and have life more abundantly; this Scripture gives us a distinct inclination of the manifested WORD of GOD in our lives; GOD wants us to live in INCREASE. Living in the “more than” category surpasses even what the word “abundantly” implicates. You’ll noticed that He even calls us “more than conquerors” through Him, because He loves us, [Romans 8:37]. GOD wants us to have more than enough! It’s because GOD expects us to live in His divine, unmerited favor. “Unmerited” means that we could do nothing to earn it, but that GOD has desired us to have it, so we then have favor that’s beyond boundaries: no man nor demon has the ability to snatch back His unmerited favor from us!

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of GOD, not by works, so that no one can boast,” [Ephesians 2:8-9].

Here, GOD sets the record straight: He’s the giver of grace and mercy, which is conditioned and nurtured by our faith. It has nothing to do with anything we could earn. We don’t deserve it (grace), but we are granted it, through (mercy).

ELEVATION. In order for the next elevation to happen for us, we must “assume the position,” that is, align with GOD so that He can edify (train, teach, and uplift) us. Our posture should be one of humility, laying prostrate before GOD, in expectation of His true deliverance to take place in our lives, [Matthew 23:12]. We must submit to Him, in full & total repentance. There’s a great lesson that is learned from Matthew 20:16, “the last shall be first.” The world creates this thought that to be first at everything gives you an advantage over others, however, the LORD wants us to understand that it’s about being willing to accept a place (position), at His feet. It’s when we’re at His feet does everything have to come into submission, under our feet [Psalm 8:6]. GOD expects us to approach Him like children approach their parents, in humility and showing respect to the relationship, [Matthew 18:3-4; Luke 18:16-17]. The LORD must impart upon us the wisdom, knowledge, and the understanding so that we operate in The Holy Spirit, being able to therefore see things to come, [John 16:13].

He desires to teach us how to properly combat spiritual warfare.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” [Ephesians 6:12].

GOD expects us to learn how to combat the enemy. He tells us, in Ephesians 6:10-18, that we should put on the Whole Armor of GOD and pray in The Holy Spirit (praying in The Spirit means to pray using the gift of tongues). We see that on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:4), every one spoke in diverse tongues. We also see that our prayer language can be elevated by seeking GOD, [1 Corinthians 1:5; Acts 19:6]. Speaking in tongues can be a gift and it can be a direct result of seeking GOD, earnestly and diligently. Contrary to popular beliefs of the Baptist and other religions that don’t quite believe in speaking in tongues, it’s Biblical. The Bible even says that The Holy Spirit falls on us; a result of this is seen in [Acts 10:44-46; Acts 19:6; Mark 16:17]. No one has the same tongue so if you’re ever in a place where you hear the same tongue language, you’re in the wrong place and you need to leave, immediately! Every person that receives the Holy Spirit, receives their own tongue. I believe that it’s because of the misunderstanding and misuse, per se, of speaking in tongues, causes some religions to shy away from a very true Biblical vantage point. This is how so many religions within religions exist. One person or group decides that they don’t like something that there present Church does so they veer off to create their own, much like how the Lutheran religion was developed from Catholicism.

“For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to people but to GOD. Indeed, no one understands them; they utter mysteries by the Spirit.” [1 Corinthians 14:2].

“And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;” [Mark 16:17].

GOD can elevate even your prayer language. The reason for the elevation in our prayers is so that we encode what the enemy cannot decode by listening to us. The enemy attaches monitoring spirits [Job 1:7; 1 Peter 5:8; Ephesians 6:12] into your life that are designed to listen and pay close attention to your thinking and the way you move within this world. Satan does this so that he can hear what we’re saying to GOD. Satan will manipulate us by infecting our minds with doubt and disbelief, as a measure to steer us away from the GOD who cares for us when we cast all of our burdens towards Him, [1 Peter 5:7]. Satan is NOT omnipresent like GOD; he cannot be everywhere at the same time. He’s also not omniscient nor is he omnipotent.

GOD assigns Ministering Spirits [Hebrews 1:14] to us so that we can activate empowerment and remain encouraged through difficult, trying situations. Many Christians don’t really understand the purpose, the function of putting on, and keeping on, The Whole Armor of GOD. The purpose is so that we are positioned, in full armor, behind GOD. We know that GOD goes ahead of us and fights for us, says [Deuteronomy 31:8; Exodus 14:14].

What’s the significance of knowing that the enemy tries to detour us? Understand that the enemy thinks that the detour will cause us to go off course, that is, to miss what GOD has for us. Contrary to the enemy’s measures to stop or reroute us to fail, GOD has already cancelled the enemy’s assignment! We must stay within GOD’s Will. The detour will still have us arrive to the destined place of greatness that GOD has already set before us. The detour won’t stop us nor block us! The detour works in our favor because of Romans 8:28. This Scripture states, “and we know that all things work together for good to them that love GOD, to them who are the called according to His purpose.”

Let this message encourage your soul; GOD already conquered the enemy while on The Cross. In fact, when they lifted Jesus up, they thought that that would indeed kill Him, but all it did was cause His resurrection to take place; the pinnacle of His life, in death, caused The Resurrection. What man thought they would do to stop Jesus was the very thing that fueled Jesus’ rising. That’s deep. The enemy’s agenda to kill, steal, and destroy Jesus was a divine setup for Jesus to be raised so that we, too, shall rise over every situation, every circumstance that is presented to tempt us! Jesus said that His lifting would draw every man back to Him and this still holds true, [John 12:32]. The resurrection delivered us out of the hand of the enemy and into the hands of The LORD who upholds us.

“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your GOD; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – [Isaiah 41:10] ESV | English Standard Version

Empty Prayers: some of our prayers are what I term as “empty prayers.” GOD isn’t tuned into some of the prayers we pray, out of habit, out of being taught to pray a certain way. Let me expound on this thought: in prayer, asking GOD to protect you and watch over you is an empty prayer because GOD has already said, in His Holy Scriptures, that He will never leave us nor forsake us [see Deuteronomy 31:8 & Hebrews 13:5-6]. He also said that He’s not a liar, see Numbers 23:19. Therefore, we don’t have to ask for protection because He’s already committed Himself to making sure we are guarded (protected). He’s assigned Angels to keep watch over us, [Psalm 91:11-12]. He is Jehovah Nissi [Exodus 17:15], The LORD, Our Banner!

The only way that we remain guarded is to stay aligned with His Will for us. So, our prayer should be: “LORD, thank you for never leaving me and never forsaking me. Thank You for never lying to me.” “Thank You for watching over Your WORD to perform it, Jeremiah 1:12. LORD, it’s YOU that will accomplish every good work within us, [Philippians 1:6].” We are to put GOD in remembrance of His WORD, [Isaiah 43:26]. Remind Him of everything He’s promised and watch it be fulfilled! That’s how we pray the prayer of faith, [James 5:15-16].

Additionally, we don’t have to pray asking that GOD comfort us nor do we have to ask for clarity because He’s already told us that He left The Holy Spirit to operate in this function for us, see [John 14; John 16:13]. Our prayer should instead be, “Thank You LORD for always providing me with comfort and leading and guiding me into all truth and showing me things to come.” You don’t need to pray, “LORD, please don’t let my enemies overtake me.” Instead, we should offer a prayer of thanksgiving because His WORD already told us that He will make our enemies flee 7 different ways, see Deuteronomy 28:7. In fact, in all things, we should be thankful, see [1 Thessalonians 5:18]. Our prayers shouldn’t always be to ask GOD for something. Rather, they should embody glorifying and honoring “The Great I AM,” [Exodus 3:14]. Some prayers should be offered to GOD as to ONLY give thanks. Other prayers should be offered to “cast our cares upon Him who cares for us,” [1 Peter 5:7].

SPIRITUAL MATURITY. It’s time for us to mature (to grow up), in Christ. It’s time for us to pray using GOD’s wisdom, asking Jesus to teach us what to pray so that our prayers are heard and answered. Jesus and The Holy Spirit intercedes for us, [Hebrews 7:25; Romans 8:26-27]. He does this because He doesn’t see us for where we are, rather, He sees the complete and whole version of our being. Therefore, the focus shifts towards elevation in The Holy Spirit, yearning and actively seeking GOD to have a more intimate level of communication with Him. I pray to hear GOD’s voice amidst the noise and different satanic frequencies. I’m desiring more of GOD so I know that this request offers a sacrifice of selfish desires [Matthew 16:24; Mark 8:34; Luke 9:23]. I’m putting this into action by allowing Him room to teach me, to cut me by exposing the truth to me (about me), and then healing and delivering me. I don’t desire to remain on-the-surface with Him. My desire is that I receive everything GOD wills for my life, even if that means tearing down religious thoughts that are misguiding and acting out of ignorance and stupidity.

For GOD said this, “If my people who are called by My Name would humble themselves, then they shall hear from me; I will heal their land,” [2 Chronicles 7:14]. Come closer to GOD and He will come closer to you, [James 4:8]. We must have the desire, yearning for ALL of GOD: presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto GOD who is the reason we have our being, [Romans 12:1; Acts 17:28].

It’s my prayer that you really go after GOD, with your whole heart, and trust Him, without doubt so that your prayers are in total alignment with His Will for your life. Stand in total reliance upon GOD and watch GOD show you that He’s better than good! Our prayer should be, “LORD, impart wisdom upon me; I’m asking in faith and I’m removing all doubt. Help me to have stability, in You, and not be double-minded. LORD, you made me now teach me how to do Your Will,” [James 1:5-8; Psalm 119:73].

“For the WORD OF GOD is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” – [Hebrews 4:12]

Hebrews 5:12-14 AMP “For though by this time you ought to be teachers [because of the time you have had to learn these truths], you actually need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of GOD’s WORD [from the beginning], and you have come to be continually in need of milk, not solid food. For everyone who lives on milk is [doctrinally inexperienced and unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a spiritual infant. But solid food is for the [spiritually] mature, whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between what is morally good and what is evil.“

This post breaks religious barriers because GOD deals with us, on an intimate and sanctified manner (level), rather than to worry about how certain religions do or don't believe in speaking in tongues. We should follow GOD's precepts, not man's religions. 
The goal is to have a more intimate relationship with GOD; that supersedes religion.
