When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet. – Proverbs 3:24 AMP
For a dream comes with much business and painful effort, and a fool’s voice with many words. – Eccl 5:3 AMP
We spent the last several days focusing on entering rest by casting all of our cares, anxieties, fears, and worries upon Adonai (the LORD) so we can enter into His carefree glory and glorious rest. Today, we (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) mentor you in the area of your sleep.
I’ve seen a connection between where our focus lies throughout the day and what type of sleep we get throughout the night. Whatever you spend your days worrying about will determine what type of sleep you get as well as how long you sleep, if at all. It also impacts if you dream and what you’re dreaming at night. How many times do you dream about the last thing that was on your mind right before you drifted off to sleep? Mentees, the things that keep you awake or that enter your mind when you first wake up reveal the heart of your cares and anxieties, as well as establish whether your sleep is a sweet, glorious rest.
I challenge you to get still right before going to sleep. Spend 10 minutes focusing on who Elohim (God) is, what He’s promised, and pray that your mind be renewed to His word prior to going to sleep. Checking your e-mail or social networking activity may not be the wisest thing to place in your spirit prior to going to bed. Use wisdom and discretion here. You should also avoid interacting with people who sow discord, strife, are malicious, and keep stuff going all the time. These folks thrive off being their flesh. I must remind you that are flesh is our enemy. The last encounter of the day should be with Ruach haKodesh (Set Apart Holy Spirit), not flesh!
My prayer for you is that from this post forward as you apply what your being mentored in here that you go to sleep with a renewed mind, full of His Spirit, and ready to receive divine manifestations (e.g., visions, dreams, go on trips—translations) that are produced by setting an atmosphere for sweet, glorious sleep.
In The Making Chapter 6, you’ll learn about the process God takes His ministers through in order for His glory to shew forth in their finances. He’ll challenge you with generosity. How generous are you to others in ministry . . . even when they don’t support a thing He’s called you to do? You give and give and know they either can’t or won’t give anything in return. As a matter of fact when His glory has been infused into you in this area, you aren’t even looking for or expecting them to give anything in return. A glorious vessel who has allowed God to make them financially is debt free, money has no hold on them, they know the earth is the LORD’s and the fullness thereof and that everything including money belongs to Him. They have long since stopped looking to others to finance and support the work He’s assigned their hands and they are looking to Him and Him only. They know no man holds all that they need to fund the colossal vision God has given them. They aren’t financially despondent. No, they are hopeful and faithful. They know in the fullness of time, He is going to provide everything they need through whoever and whatever God deems appropriate.A made vessel is financially free and His glory rests upon their finances supernaturally providing, sustaining, and maintaining the work of their hands.
“And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].” – Psalm 1:3 AMP
They young lion do lack and suffer hunger, but not glorious leaders (Psalm 34:10)!
“The mystery of which was hidden for ages and generations [from angels and men], but is now revealed to His holy people (the saints),
To whom God was pleased to make known how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ within and among you, the Hope of [realizing the] glory.” – Colossians 1:26-27 AMP
Some of us live like the realization of the Hope of glory is still a hidden mystery. It is not! Yeshua haMasiyach (Jesus Christ the Messiah) has been revealed to His holy people. I often say, “Elohim (God) isn’t hiding mysteries and secrets of the Kingdom from us, He’s hiding them for us!” This scripture and Matthew 13:11 prove this statement is from Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit, the Set Apart One). It pleased Elohim (God) to reveal Christ to us and since He did the question becomes, “Are you tapping into the Hope of glory which is Christ within you on a daily basis?”
The reason it pleased Elohim (God) to reveal Christ to us is that He may be revealed through us as we live in His glory on a daily basis. The glory is not some far off mystery or some spooky shimmy. It’s the Hope we have within that can be accessed on a daily basis to manifest Christ in the earth, not a future hope way off in glory. Many of us are waiting to live in the Hope of glory in eternity. What about right now for all men to see and be drawn into the Kingdom of God?
In closing, my prayer for you and all five-fold leaders is rooted in the below scripture:
And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God! – Romans 5:3b AMP
“For, brothers, you were called to be free. Only do not let that freedom become an excuse for allowing your old nature to have its way. Instead, serve one another in love.” – Galatians 5:13 CJB
“For you, brethren, were [indeed] called to freedom; only [do not let your] freedom be an incentive to your flesh and an opportunity or excuse [for selfishness], but through love you should serve one another.” – Galatians 5:13 AMP
Yesterday, we spoke about all Elohim (God) will show us and cause us to explore when we live in the glory on a regular basis. Unfortunately, many never experience this type of freedom because they are living primarily from their soul. When you live from your soul on a regular basis, you’ll find yourself in bondage to the soul’s desires, whims, and appetites. Can you see how restrictive that is? It’s funny how many of us believe that living from the soul is where freedom is.
I’m here to tell you that is far from the truth. The truth is: You are severely hindered and restricted to this earthly realm only when you live from your soul. The only explorations and journeys you’ll find yourself on are the appetites, whims, and lusts of your flesh. What low level living. It’s time to live free in the glory! If you are ready for this journey and would like support, let me be your midwife of glory through The Making.
“For, brothers, you were called to be free. Only do not let that freedom become an excuse for allowing your old nature to have its way. Instead, serve one another in love.” – Galatians 5:13 CJB
“For you, brethren, were [indeed] called to freedom; only [do not let your] freedom be an incentive to your flesh and an opportunity or excuse [for selfishness], but through love you should serve one another.” – Galatians 5:13 AMP
When you live in the glory on a regular basis, you’ll find yourself living free and unencumbered. Elohim (GOD) will take you take you into a journey of infinite possibilities, limitless boundaries, and all kinds spiritual explorations. Star Trek has noting on God when it comes to venturing where few journey. There are unimaginable frontiers, realms, and dimensions in the glory.
But he said, “Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.”And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, “This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.” – Luke 11:28-30
There is no way to explore the glory of Elohim (God) without focusing on Jesus, who is the very revelation of God’s glory to us. I hear so many people talk about miracles and forget that Yahushua’s (Jesus’) birth alone is a miracle. I see so many run here and there seeking miracles, signs, and wonders. How about just seeking Yahushua (Jesus), the miracle Himself? Yahushua (Jesus) didn’t just perform miracles as some like to teach and preach. He is a miracle.
So I encourage you if you want to walk in miracles and see the miracle working power released in your life, just praise the miracle Himself. Praise Yahushua (Jesus) now and tap into the very miracles you need and desire. Don’t be selfish in this. When you are praising Him for these miracles, be sure it’s for the needs that are on God’s heart, not yours (Isaiah 58:1-8, Luke 4:18).
