WHERE DOES YOUR FAITH LIE?…A STUDY ON MATTHEW 15: 29-39
Spirit helper speaking: Hi honey, how does it feel? The perspective is so much better up here on this next step up the mountain isn’t it? You see how unstable and unreliable feelings are? The Devil can really hit you for a loop if you are going by how you feel. Feelings come, feelings go, and feelings are deceiving. But boy Oh boy, does the Devil like using them to get you to look down and not up. You may not have noticed it, although you’ve been told plenty of times in the Word, but the Devil often misuses your feelings just before you’re about to level-up. Now that you are here, it is easy to see what the worm was up to down there on that lower level. Jesus also likes to use your feelings at times, but He uses them in a positive, encouraging, see-how-far-you’ve-come sort of way. I see you are looking around for somewhere to sit…you want to enjoy the scenery up here. Well, don’t waste your time, my love, there are no benches here, and if you stand too close to the edge it may just collapse under your feet. What you are experiencing right now may feel good, but the feeling rule still applies, “Don’t trust your feelings.” What is the best thing to do when leveling-up? That’s right, keep on going. Get into the Word, hear from us in prophecy, see where the next step is, and keep climbing. So many people miss what you are experiencing right now because they go by what their feelings are telling them instead of going to the Word to put something solid under their feet. That’s what you’ve done and here we are telling you what you are experiencing. You are recording it so that you will be able to go back to this prophecy when the worm tempts you to doubt or listen to your feelings. Going back over old prophecy is great but there is a better way to climb this cliff and that is to ask Jesus everything. In other words, next time you feel weary with the battle and you start to think the climb is too hard, just ask Jesus what He thinks about the situation. He will give you His perspective. Maybe He’ll suggest going back and reading some Old Wine or some New, New Wine, or maybe He’ll show you a toehold that you can use to pull yourself up a little higher. Always remember you are on a cliff-face. You have to keep climbing, and the quickest and surest way to do that is to ask Jesus where the next step is.
It’s quite mind-boggling, but so many people fall for the feelings trap. It works on humans so well. Most of the world go by their five senses (Audio)… and those senses are all about deceptive feelings. However, there is a very small group that goes by the sixth sense, “the ability to know something without using the ordinary five senses, of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste”. The world believes in the sixth sense (Audio) too, but they mostly give the Devil credit for that ability, and they like to tell each other that it is a gift given to only certain favored people. Well as you know, that is a lie. The sixth sense is the ability to hear from Jesus in prophecy, and it says in Acts 2:17, it is given to all of God’s children in these last days. So although it is a gift, it is not given only to extraordinary people or just God’s favorites. Not only that, but the gift can grow big and strong by exercising it. What you are learning –and we know it is difficult because of the five senses that demand most of your attention throughout the day– nonetheless, what you are learning is to make those five subservient to the sixth. So yes, it is a difficult climb, and we do appreciate the fact, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that you must climb this mountain face. And when I look at my watch, I see you have only a very short time left to reach that summit (PDF) up there. You are seeing a little more clearly right now, and that is because the clouds have thinned a little. But this is a high mountain you are on and weather conditions can change at the drop of a hat, and when they do, those feelings can come rushing in and suddenly you find yourself in thick cloud again. Well, we are telling you that you’re making progress, and you are getting better at asking Jesus everything. So forget those cloudy feelings and keep doing what you are doing. It’s working and you are higher today than you were yesterday. Loving Jesus intimately (PDF) will also help you exercise the gift of prophecy (PDF). Lying in His bed with His arms around you is the perfect place (Video) to hear His whispers. You don’t have to go to bed with Him every time you want to ask Him a question, but you can cuddle up to him real close to ask your question, or come up behind Him and put your hands on His shoulders or run your fingers through His hair. Ask Him what He’s doing; ask Him if He has time to answer a question or two. There are a hundred and one ways to approach Jesus for a chat or to ask a question. I’ll leave it up to your imagination. Sometimes He’ll answer your question without actually saying anything. He’ll just kind of put the answer there in your mind, and suddenly you will “know” what to do. And don’t put off your come-to-Jesus time… He’s not the rushy type. He likes going slow. He’s steady and sure. He likes to get the most out of each encounter He has with His lovers. So don’t waste time trying to work things out in your own strength or five senses, leaving it and leaving it until you are almost beside yourself with fretting, fear or stress. Go to Jesus every single day, twice or thrice if you so desire. You are like a dam across a river: the more water you try to hold back, the more pressure there is on your dam wall. Just go to Jesus and let Him open those floodgates when needed. The pressure will ease and you will be a much steadier and more stable personality…just like He is.
March 21, 2024 Where Does Your Faith Lie? Matthew 15:29-39
Does it lie in the condition of your vessel or how nice or bad the weather is outside? Are you looking for signs before following Me deeper into the wilderness? Now that we are three days into the wilderness, what are you looking to sustain you, a miracle or My Word? Where does your faith lie? Are you one of the blind, dumb, lame sheep following Me looking to be healed of your malady, or are you My disciple, here because of My Word? The internet cable cut (Audio)was a test indeed. It was a short one, and after a couple of days you were supplied once more with your daily bread. As we go deeper into the wilderness, the tests will become stronger. If you love Me, follow My Word. The world seeks after a sign that they may believe, and very soon the Man of Sin will give them the sign they seek. As blind, dumb and lame sheep they follow the light of their false Messiah; “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matthew 24:24 …Now in 2024 you are with Me in the City of True Light, learning the way of faith, that ye be not deceived, and so you will be ready for what’s coming into the world. You did not get here by the short road but the long road of breaking and testing. You have earned your place beside Me; and the honor of moving deeper into the wilderness of the spirit is yours because of your faith in My Word. The Torch of David is what has lighted your path to this high plateau we are now standing on. Few in the history of man have come this far. Look down there through the misty clouds that are now beginning to cover them from view; they are the multitude that is lost in the darkness of this world. You cannot go there; if you do, you will be lost in the darkness with them. You must continue to pray for them as you climb higher into the spirit. If you stay with them ministering to them at their level in the spirit you will be overwhelmed by their cares. It is only your pride that would tell you that you are strong enough. More tests of faith will come, for your faith must be strong if you are to accomplish the task that is before you. The Children of David are called to the high mountains of Israel because only from here will you have the strength to help the multitude.
And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the Sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there. And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them. Matthew 15:29-30
The strength you will need to accomplish the great task that is before you can only be found in the wilderness. It’s not by works of righteousness or by the arm of flesh, but faith in My Word alone. And his disciples say unto him, whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? Matthew 15:33. I am the bread of life; only faith in Me, My Word and the Keys will you find what you need to fill so great a multitude. So come unto Me in this time of testing and in Me find the rest and peace of mind you will need to continue this journey. In your patience possess ye your soul, patience takes faith, so be not weary with these tests of faith for they are sent to strengthen your love in My Word. It is My Word that will sustain you, be not as the unbelieving multitude who look for signs and wonders, who were drawn away from Me at the time of the great falling away. More tests must needs come, My Gideon’s few; for you must be made white in preparation for the time of the End. These tests are a great honor that I bestow on David’s children, those that esteem the Words of David, My Words, more important than their reputation, their life and their necessary food. Take My hand now, and let’s move away from the plateau edge, for there is a great swelling and moving in the lowlands of this world. The Son of Perdition has taken his place as the last king and ruler before the return of the true King. There will be much turmoil and anguish, a great purging in the short time remaining before I come for My own. Come out from among them, do not embroil yourselves in the affairs of the men of this world, for in so doing you are working in the arm of your own strength; the arm will fail. It is in the spirit where you will prevail. Come now, let us go. “And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala”. Matthew 15:39

“Jesus: You have to remember the extent of My power; it is in no way limited by your earthly rules, circumstances or capabilities. I created the world and all of My marvelous, mind-boggling creation out of nothing–absolutely nothing! I started with nothing, and worked up from there. So when you look at yourself and your limitations, and even what seem to you to be very real factors–such as timing–you’re forgetting that I don’t need much to work with. If I’m going to use you, I need your yieldedness and desperation, yes. But after that, there’s no limit to what I can do.”
