Living in the Fruit of the Spirit; with Grace!

Living in the Fruit of the Spirit; with Grace - by Dr. Audrey Aikens These verses are a responsive reading done during the teaching from 1 Samuel 22:1-52 Apostle-phrased to personalize! David spoke to the Lord in his Psalm 18 which he wrote in the day the Lord delivered him out of his enemies and king Saul’s hand. He sang “The Lord is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer; in Him will I trust. He’s my shield; my salvation, my high tower, my refuge and savior; my everything. You oh Lord; saved me from “violence every strongman” has thought to bring me! Thus, “I will” trust and continually call on the Lord! He is worthy to be praised! As I praise Him, He continually saves me from all my enemies! When death comes in billowing waves to threaten me; when…

Grace Strengthens for Press; Faith Cometh to Rebuke Mess!

Today we consider two bedrock key principles of salvation; “Grace and Faith”. We do so to get an understanding that Grace is given to strengthen for the press; as Faith, cometh to rebuke the mess! So, getting the revelation of this concept beloveds; is absolutely key!  Faith untried may be true faith, but it is sure to be little faith; likely to remain small; unable to rebuke subtility so we’d behave wisely in trials. Such was Adam and woman’s problem.  Genesis 3:8 Apostle-phrased! And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid from the presence of the Lord God; among the trees of the garden. “They Heard the Voice of the Lord God Walking” They Heard signifies they intelligently heard the clear unmistakable sound both were intimately familiar with. It signifies this “sound heard” called unto attention in recognizing; time and opportunity to come; obediently turning to present themselves to report in; to talk with God; as habit does; in walking with Him. Voice Walking signifies the sound of the presence of the Lord God coming; calling aloud by name as the sound of thunder heard and lightening flashing; piercing through any present darkness, or hesitation in knowing He calls us; to come unto.  The revelatory is; this was indeed the unmistakable voice of the Lord’s…

Strategically Frustrated & Sifted; Yet Being Content

Beloved's there is nothing new under the sun; especially spiritually. Thus it behooves we get it; so we don’t end up getting got. The only way to resist the devil’s tempting and be assured he must flee from us; is we first must learn to remain totally content and confidently remain obediently submitted unto God whatever state we find ourselves. James 4:7 Being content strategically positions us to accomplish and prosper in any doing of our own greater works we’re to work out.  Phillippians 4:11-13 (Apostle-phrasing) This is not about my speaking out because I’m in need; but this is my truth:: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. So, I know feeling debased, brought low, demeaned, disenfranchised, degraded, belittled, humiliated and I also know feelings of abounding, thriving and flourishing prosperity. But everywhere, through every and all circumstances; I am instructed and more importantly “learned” the secret wisdom all my experiences lived reveal. So, despite facing perils of neediness or self-fulfillment; I yet know I have life more abundantly! Because I’ve also learned; I truly do all such things through Christ; for its His grace that strengthens me. “Learned to be Content” Learned:  signifies a technical term…

Be Not Entangled Again

Be not entangled again, is a statement that is for the purpose of a warning and to equip us to purposely pick where you take your stand in being strategically positioned in Him. Let's look at this scripture for an understanding of this revelatory concept. Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free; And, be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. “Stand Fast in Liberty” Stand Fast: signifies we are to remain positioned. And we are to persevere so we can remain stationary; standing our ground spiritually. In Liberty: signifies freedom (legitimate or licentious, chiefly moral or ceremonial). “Hath Made Us Free” Hath Made Us Free: signifying He has already delivered and therefore liberated us; by making us be exempt from the moral, ceremonial or mortal liability of having our old yokes to be able to move us. “Not Again Be Entangled With"…

Positioned as Unequally Yoked

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? Be Ye (defined) -signifies an extremely strong command follows which, in essence, says; "arise and be assembled to hear: then hearken, so you do not cause to be generated; come into being; or be the cause, of what will surely follow as it is ordained!" Not (defined) in English it simply signifies a negation of a prohibition to or a clear refuting denial. But in Greek however, it is given an even stronger emphasis classified as a military term expressing an absolute denial of any exception to the rule being found existing or stated. It also signifies an all inclusive command predicating the "Be Ye" with do not do the following lest God forbid; you…

God Moves Despite Darkness

Have you seen days when darkness seems to try and lay upon all that concerns you as you try to negotiate the spiritual waters of deep things we all face? Have you ever pulled back; dreaded to step out in faith as fierce waves of the deep; obscure all signs of spiritual light?  This picture represents all such discouragements!

Even when we try to behave wisely and focus on being more spiritual minded than carnal; works of darkness magnify themselves the more. They mock discerning faith by asking; “what cha praying for; the problem or issue is all you”?

This series of “Havilah Prepared Places”, is designed to be encouragement despite such extremes as we learn to press to know God enough to recognize and trust His faithfulness.  There’s nothing new under the sun! As God moved and revealed Havilah; where He produced prepared places; He continues moving today. Thus; consider “In the Beginning” to see many revelatory concepts gained. (more…)
