Rise Up and Walk In Confidence!
I love to have conversations with anointed people. In fact, dialoguing with Spirit-empowered people is one of the most awesome ways to hear Yahweh’s voice that I know. Often in the midst of a discussion with Lisa or others to whom I am joined I will say something or the other party will say something that goes beyond regular talk and becomes “the voice within a voice” sparking divine revelation.
The Phenomenon has happened so many times that I have come to expect it and look forward to the chances I have to sit down and converse with those who walk with Yahweh.
Recently, through several discussions, I have been confronted with a reality that many Spirit-empowered believers are hesitant to declare that they have a day-by-day completeness and maturity in Christ. I listen as a given individual releases awesome revelation, provides supernatural insight, and sets forth what is obviously a word of Yahweh’s purpose, destiny, and identity but then feels the need to amend their statement with a watered down trickle of drivel such as, “but I know that I’m not there yet,”
Now the above example may seem innocent and innocuous, but I am convinced that it is a subtle manifestation of the antichrist spirit that permeates much of the church world today. Creation longs for the revealing of the sons of Yahweh, and I am convinced that there are many waiting for somebody to rise above condemnation and public opinion and say “I am in Yahshua, and His Spirit is in me, His anointing is upon me and I have been prepared for this hour!”
Why is that so hard to say? Certainly we all know who we once were, and even today could give a list of our failings and shortcomings—but nowhere can I find a scriptural basis for receiving our identity from any place other than the completed work of Yahshua and His proceeding prophetic word to us.
Apostle Peter upon encountering the crippled beggar at the gate Beautiful did not feel the need to dredge up his feelings of failure from having denied Yahshua but made an awesome declaration of “being” in Yahweh when he stated, “what I have I give to you.” Had Peter taken the other course of watering down the Christ anointing in his life, the poor beggar probably would have remained a fixture at the temple gate the rest of his life.
Tragically, most church folks today probably relate more to the cripple in the story than to Peter. We sit at the beautiful gateway of the kingdom too crippled in our identities to confidently rise up and walk into our purpose and destiny.
If you fit the above category then let me serve as Peter today and say that I have found a confidence in being complete daily in Him. I enjoy His presence and live each day with an expectation of manifesting His glory; fully trusting that tomorrow will bring only an increase in that ability!
Would you join me? Together we can enter into His provision and purpose with a joyful confidence in Yahweh’s work in us; like that reformed beggar we can move into the place that is designed for us, “walking, leaping, and praising Yahweh” as we do!
