I love the way the Father will speak through circumstances and people to let His children know what is on His heart.
The past few days have been a reiteration of 'get closer to me'.
Today, I was in a bible study where a person received a prophetic word from an individual (not during the session but at their home) who told them to 'get it right'. The person didn't know what they meant
by 'get it right' since they are not in any obvious sin, but it gradually began to be enlightened to them that the Lord was telling him to clean up how he talks and to not be derailed (this time) by fear of man.
In this bible study we also talking about what the the teacher calls '3rd level anointing'. It's the anointing that brings you into the Holy of Holies and empowers you to serve (minister to) God's people.
In the bible study/prayer meeting I went to tonight, the Pastor spoke about how 'authority trumps power.' The authority that Jesus gives us through the Holy Spirit is more powerful the the powers of government, principalities and powers or anything we could 'work up' on our own. We have to position ourselves, however, if we want to have access to this power. Draw nigh to God. Let nothing interfer with getting close to Him. This was also discussed in the bible study I went to earlier in the day.
On the blog, LivingWalk, the blog owner talked about how we can get 'offeneded' in Christ - even John the Baptist was potentially 'offened' by the circumstances that his proclamation of Christ produced for him. (I had just been reading and thinking on this 'offendedness' a couple of days before this. I was also taken to the verses that talk about the seed falling on shallow ground that lets the 'sun(son)' of persecution wither it and it becomes unfruitful.)
