rhema 3/07/13 LEARNING TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT

HEARD:  He is like a child.  In the realm of the Spirit.  He doesn’t understand how to walk in it. 

Rom 8:14

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

2Co 5:7

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Rom 8:24-25

For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

HEARD:  I speak to his heart.  Through prayer. 

VISION:  I saw some walls inside a heart and superimposed over the top I saw the following scripture:

Rom 2:14-15 NLT

Even Gentiles, who do not have God's written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. They demonstrate that God's law is written in their hearts, for their own conscience and thoughts either accuse them or tell them they are doing right.

IMPRESSION:  Walking in the Spirit is like learning to ballroom dance with the Holy Spirit, where He is the leader and we are the followers.  For males that are more logical than intuitive, and also type A personalities, being a follower would not be very natural!  For creative, instinctive females who are type B personalities, they have it much easier learning how to follow.

WORD TO PONDER: LEARNING TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT  3/07/13

I AM going to teach you how to follow the lead of My Spirit.  This comes through being sensitive to your conscience, your own spirit that is one with My Spirit because You belong to Me.  I know you are crying out for understanding and direction!  There are much deeper skills I want to establish within you more than mere answers. 

Yield to My moves and let them bypass what your eyes tell you and what your mind presumes.  Sometimes I teach you how to develop this sensitivity without your sight - your understanding. With understanding comes the temptation to assume My move and also get ahead of Me.  So simply close your eyes dear one and listen with your heart.  You already understand this by your level of peace.  Be quick to hear, and slow to speak.  Yes pray and then feel the drawing of My Spirit inside your heart. 

Later when you become accustomed to responding with My moves, then I will open your eyes and teach you how to follow the trail markers. Then you will truly be following Me by My Spirit inside of you and not by what your natural mind understands.  At that time, your spiritual sight and understanding shall blossom because you will be truly know My heart and My ways.

1Co 2:13-14 NLT

When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit's words to explain spiritual truths. But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.

Isa 11:3

His delight is in the fear of the Lord, and He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,

Nor decide by the hearing of His ears.

Jam 1:19

Understand [this], my beloved brethren. Let every man be quick to hear [a ready listener], slow to speak, slow to take offense and to get angry.
