Nowhere to Run Nowhere to Hide


1 Kings 19:11-13

And He said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord and behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord: But Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind and earthquake: But the Lord was not in the earthquake And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice and it was so, when Elijah  heard it that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave and behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou  here, Elijah? 

We have seen through the testimony of Jonah and through the testimony of the prophet Elijah that you cannot run  from the voice of  God. You cannot hide from the Spirit of Truth. There is nowhere to run and there is nowhere to hide from his Spirit. You cannot run from your calling. No matter how terrible the situation or matter may seem. You must obey the voice of  the Lord one way or another the truth will find you out. No matter what we see in this earth, we are still called to do a work. He who began a good work in you shall perform it until the last day of Jesus Christ. The earth will continue to go its way, and continue to get more wicked, but regardless there is still a mission to fulfill for the time audited. Elijah was a prophet of the Lord chosen for a work in a time when the head of the Lord’s people were corrupt. There were wars, famine, and the majority of the people were backslidden in sin. They did not want to walk in the truth and had commanded that the prophets of the most High be slain. Though it seemed in that natural sense that there wasn’t much work being done in the name of the Lord, spiritually the Spirit of the Lords was with his people. The Lord God is the same yesterday, today, and evermore. Regardless of your present situation. You must face the truth and walk in the truth. The Lord is with those that believe. He will never leave thee nor forsake thee that you can boldly say he is your keeper and a present help in the time of trouble. We, who are the children of God expose the lies of the enemy and maintain accountability within the house of God. We are faithful stewards of the truth with our words as well as our deeds. The word tells us that in Christ there is the light and in him there is no darkness at all. The prophet Elijah ran into a cave. The Spirit of God did not lead him there. While in this cave full of darkness and fear the Lord asked him, “ Why are you here?” There is no fear in the truth. Perfect love casts out all fear. The Lord commanded him to come out of that dark place and stand on the mount. It was there the Lord was able to show him to come out of that dark place and stand on the mount. It was there he was able to show him the power of God. He brought forth wind, earthquake, and the fire to build the confidence of his servant. We are lights that cannot be hid and we must go forth in that truth. Hear the truth. Love the truth. Obey the truth. Hide the truth in your heart that you may not sin against him. The truth is what sets captives free.

1 John 4:6
We are of God: He that knoweth God heareth us; He that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the Spirit of Truth, and the Spirit of Error.

This scripture is so relevant, especially in these last and evil days. When the Lord Jesus is purifying your through day to day warfare you will find that your spiritual being just wants true fellowship. You desire people who don’t care about all the formalities. You want what’s real. You want true believers in your circle with real encouragement who you can trust to get a prayer through. Some people as much as you want them to they just don’t get it. They  won’t understand. No matter how much you speak the truth. No matter how many times. The world will not receive you. The world will not receive the truth, it falls on deaf ears. It doesn’t make sense. They are tares amongst the wheat. You will know the difference. So, be not weary in well doing. You shall reap if you faint not. 

TRY THE SPIRITS TO KNOW

1 John 4:1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirit by the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

11 Cor 11:13-15
are false prophets, deceitful workers, transforming themselves in the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministries also be 
For such transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Don’t be deceived by them who creep in presenting themselves as brethren attempting to get you to compromise your faith. Jesus is not the author of confusion and he stated to us that we shall know them by their fruits. We must be spiritually sensitive to recognize the moving of the spirit within us and within certain situations and circumstances. You know Jesus Christ, your Savior. You know your God. You know his word. You know he is real in you. You know he is the truth and the way and the life. Jesus promised you that he would never leave your nor forsake you. So, when the deceiver come attempting to convince you that you don’t  have what you need to make it. Know that he is a liar and has been from the beginning. Seek the Lord Jesus Christ for his Holy Spirit while he is yet available. He will keep you. He will comfort you. He will counsel you and guide you in the paths of all truths and righteousness. Don’t allow the devil to deceive you  into believing that the Lord isn’t with you or that Holy Spirit within you isn’t enough to accomplish the will and purpose of the Most High. Do not allow deception to have you compromise by taking down for the enemy. Meaning, you must walk by faith and not by sight. You must utilize your gifts for the building of the Kingdom of God and tearing of the Kingdom of Satan down. You must use the authority to do a greater works for the Lord Jesus meaning, signs, miracles, and wonders shall follow those who believe.

Galatians 2:4
And that because of false brethren unawares bought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage.

Know who you are in Christ. Stand tall in him believing only, knowing that no matter the circumstance or situation he is your refuge. He is your strength. The enemy will attempt to convince you otherwise. You will encounter false brethren who  have been sent in unawares. They are tares amongst the wheat attempting to spy out your liberties in the hope of finding some way to gain access of to your weakness that might bring you into bondage. If these enemies of the cross bring you into bondage, then how effective would you be on the battlefield for Christ? How much more diligent would you be in walking in your calling? Would you be effectively used to compel someone to surrender to the will and purpose of Christ? Could you be used to deliver someone, when you’re in need of deliverance yourself? How effective to the mission is a prisoner of war? Guard your anointing. Be an effective gatekeeper. Hide in the spirit of holiness. Trust in the Lord with your whole heart. Speak the word throughout all of the circumstances and situations. Pray without doubting that Jesus will do what he said he would do even as we fulfill our obedience  to his will and purpose.

​KNOW YOUR ENEMY

A major strategic tactic that enemies utilize in warfare is deception. When Jesus Christ walked the earth with his disciples, they asked the Lord what shall the sign of thy coming be and the coming of the end of the world? (Matthew 24:3) The first thing the Lord Jesus shared in his response was that we take heed that no man deceives us. Deception plays a major role in spiritual warfare. The enemy will use tactics of deception to make you think you don’t have what you do have. He will also come to make you think you don’t know what you do know. So, if he can make you think the Lord Jesus is not with you when in fact the Lord Jesus is with you, how much damage would that cause psychologically for you to go forth with confidence to do the will and purpose of Christ.

Luke 10:18-20

And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning from Heaven. Behold, I give unto you the power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits be subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in Heaven.

The enemy is well aware of what power and authority you have. If he could destroy it, he would. If  he could steal it, he would because he has none. Because we have power and authority to overcome the enemy and his demonic forces, the enemy will come with false signs and wonders to attempt to get you  to think you don’t have what you do. When we walk in boldness and confidence by the spirit of faith the enemy trembles. He trembles that much more when we go forth together in unity by the Holy Spirit. Stand tall on your foundation of faith and obedience.

When you’ve got a strong relationship with Jesus Christ, then the enemy will attempt to deceive you into believing you’re weak in the faith. When you’re moving forth in the power of God to fulfill your mission in Christ, then the enemy will attempt to make you think you don’t have enough of the Holy Spirit to do His will and to do His purpose… as if you’re not able to heal, as if your not able to get a prayer through to the most high, when in fact all things are possible through Jesus Christ who strengthens us.  

​There is a sound of righteousness unto the Most High God. There is a sound of holiness. There is a sound of a true heart’s cry which the Lord will not deny. So when we struggle to discern which path is the righteous way, you must follow hard after the truth. Jesus declared that He is the truth, the way, and the life. Search your heart. If you desire the Lord with your whole heart, His Spirit will lead and guide you in the paths of all truths. There is no failure in Jesus. We walk by faith and not by sight. However, be reminded that you must guard your heart. Guard your anointing. Do not fall into to the traps and snares set by deceiving spirits. Know the difference between what is Holy and what is sensual. The Holy Spirit brings forth remembrance of the Lord’s Holy word. He brings remembrance of the things that glorify. His Spirit of Holiness brings forth the remembrance of things worthy of rejoicing…a testimony. There is a sound that brings forth the glory of God…that edifies. When you hear the sound of worship or praise, does it encourage you to overcome? Do you feel like you can achieve all things through Christ that strengthens you? Or does it make you think of what you lost? What you used to have? Some things are sensuous laced with a familiar spirit! Do not follow the enemy back to the past! Jesus brought you this far and it has all been for his glory through you. He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Christ Jesus. His word will not return void. Speak the word. Speak. Speak. Speak the word with the power and authority given His Spirit. Enduring hardness as a good soldier. Fret not thyself because of evil doers, neither be thou envious of workers of iniquity because they will be handled when your obedience is fulfilled. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, trust I say in the Lord. 

 
MATTHEW 13:37

THERE ARE TARES AMONGST THE WHEAT….HARVEST TIME IS APPROACHING


We must work while it is day because when night comes, no man can work. The harvest is truly plenteous yet the laborers are few.

As I have grown and the Spirit has searched after the very deep things of God I have to be sensitive of the voice of God and I have learned to ask the question, “Do they belong to you?” There are tares that have been sown amongst the wheat. We love the tares, but we must know and be aware that a tare is a tare. As much as you love them, they will still be and will always be a tare designed for the harvest of the end times. It is hard to fathom. These people have had their consciences seared and are incapable of truly loving with the pure love of God. There is nothing we can do to change the core of their being. This is the Lord’s design, the Word states they weren’t sown by Him. We that have been sown by Jesus Christ have been predestined before the foundations of this world. Jesus knows what He is doing. He hasn’t failed at redeeming those who desire to be saved. Jesus loved us so much that He came and died for us. He is still a healer. He is still a way maker. He is a bridge. He is a heart fixer and a mind regulator. He is still working signs, miracles, and wonders to compel men and women and to increase the faith of the believer. Don’t get distracted by tares whom if you’re not careful will cause you to fall short or miss out on your blessings. If they are sown by the wicked one then you know that they have the same mission that he does which is to steal, kill, destroy. There is no reasoning with them. There is no compromise. They come for warfare. They come, they laugh, they say they love you to your face but within they are ravening wolves desiring to devour the very spiritual nature that is within you, because they know their time is not long. Do not be moved with false emotions that they show which are temporary for the sake of trying to deceive and conquer. Continue to stand and contend for the faith. Be watchful and pray that you may be kept and overcome. Know your role and keep your rank. Having done all you can, then you stand and see the salvation of the Lord.
​- A GOD CHASER

Hide yourself in the Most High. He will never leave you nor forsake you that way you can boldly say that He has been your keeper and your way maker. Jesus will perform what He said He would in your life. No matter the circumstance and no matter the situation. He asked me a question at a time when I was going through many troubles. It seemed there were battles on every side and there was a simple question, "Do you love me?" and then He asked another, "Do you seek after righteousness?" My answer to both questions was, "yes, Lord". So, if we love the Lord and trust Him with our whole heart then we know that we are in His hands no matter what afflictions we face from day to day. We must see things through to the end and trust in His plan not a plan of our own. Hide yourself completely in His presence. Hide yourself in His Word. Hide yourself in His Spirit. Hide yourself in praise. Hide yourself in worship so that nothing is seen but Him and His light. It's time to lose yourself completely in His will and His purpose so that it is no longer I but Christ that works in me. These signs shall follow the believer. They shall heal in my name. They shall cast out devils in my name. How can you work the works without losing yourself? It's all or nothing. There's no half-way. There's no I'm almost there, I'm getting there. Quench not the Spirit. Grieve not the Spirit. If He is your King, then the King should reign.
John 7:38
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
