Shalom,
One of my favorite devotionals is still Kenneth E. Hagin's "Faith Food". Today's teaching is priceless!
Counsel
Within
Counsel in
the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it
out. — PROVERBS 20:5
Although God
does lead through visions and other supernatural manifestations, I would
encourage you not to seek a vision.
Do not seek
visions or similar experiences. Why? Because you might get beyond the Word,
where the devil can deceive you. (See Second Corinthians 11:14.)
Sometimes we
would prefer to have a more direct word of guidance. But we don’t always get
it. So don’t try to manufacture one if it doesn’t happen. Nowhere does the
Bible say that believers sought these experiences, or that they were seeking
visions when they came. The visions just happened without people seeking for
them.
Be content
if all you ever have is the inward witness. Be content to follow that witness.
But educate, train, and develop your human spirit to the point where that
witness becomes more and more real to you.
Then, if God
sees fit to give you supernatural visitations and manifestations, just thank
Him for them.
Confession: I
will educate, train, and develop my human spirit so that the inward witness
will become more and more real to me.
AMEN! Let the Word of God be your FINAL AUTHORITY! Any vision, manifestation or 'word' that you receive supernaturally MUST line up with the WORD of GOD. Holy Spirit will NEVER lead us contrary to the Word. Knowing the Word of God will put you ijn position to properly discern everything else that you hear or see. Here is Hillsong with "Your Word":
Shalom in Him!
