Good morning children of the most high GOD, anytime you sleep and wake up in the middle of the night, do not just go back to sleep without praying and singing to God, it could be an imminent attack coming or something bad wants to happen or God wants you to pray that moment to avert something, it has happened to me a couple of times and I noticed that it was actually an imminent attack from the kingdom of darkness.


Watch and pray, be spiritually alert and be sensitive in the spirit.

Hello,

Anytime i stumble upon your post, somethings come to my mind.

You may not know what you are doing but let me tell you first, Anywhere the true children of God are gathered, their is something that is imminent and that is PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING + THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Now you may know how to quote scriptures alot but i tell you, you have no idea the spirit you are made up of but i know. You operate under a wicked spirit of DISUNITY.

Everytime you open your mouth that spirit takes control. You think you are in control of the spirit but it is actually in control of you. Most of the things that believers here argue with you about, to me I'll say they are just wasting their time because your condition can only get worse.

Jesus said "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come"

I ask you, have you ever heard anything you need to declare to us from the holy spirit? You quote scriptures without any divine interpretation. As if an attempt to chain us to doctrines without the spirit of God.

I know am wasting my time talking to you. But for the benefit of those who might be swayed away by your evil intentions. I bind every spirit of DISUNITY and confusion released from your mouth, your writings and every other means of communication available to you and i subject them to the authority that is in the name of Jesus in the name of Jesus Christ.
Do you know that they said the exact same about Jesus Christ. The establishment and people of His time concluded that He was operating by he influence of the evil spirit and that He had come to cause disunity and not unity - of course it not help His case when He indeed stated that He came not to bring peace(unity implied) but to bring war and enmity between people and family members.

So if you worship a God of unity and peace, be careful that you are deceived there. He, Jesus Christ, came offering you a life that is different from that established in the minds of the majority. He alone is the truth..every other contradictory opinion or popular opinion is a lie.

Prayer should not be something you do because you feel like doing it or something you do to fulfil all righteousness, prayer should be your lifestyle.



Live a prayerful life.

Some people do say, I try to live a holy life but its not easy, I fall back to sin, then they back it up by saying "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. yes the flesh is weak but you have to subdue your flesh, you have to weaken you flesh and strengthen your spiritman.

Apostle Paul said in 1Corinthians 5:27 that he keeps his body under subjection. you need to keep your flesh under subjection, the flesh should not control you, you should control the flesh, be led by the spirit, let the spirit of God control you. Romans 8:14 says "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God".
John 6:63 says " it is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life".

Hearing from God.



A lot of people really want to hear from Abba father, we sons and daughters of God can hear from God just like we all can prophecy. 1Corinthians 14:5 and 1Corinthians 14:31.

God has been speaking to lots of us but our mind is too noisy to hear his still small voice speaking to us, we are so preoccupied with the thing of the world and day to day activities, our mind is so busy that we barely stay silent to listen to him speaking to us, giving us direction. Also some have heard God speak but discarded his still small voice, they were expecting to hear a loud voice like a thunder saying "my son my daughter, in whom I am well pleased". Please pray that the Lord almighty will calm the storm in your mind and make you to know when he speaks to you and for you to listen and hear him well.

It is one thing to hear the voice of God, it is another thing to discern if it is the voice of God cause sometimes we can also hear the voice of our mind or that of the devil, it is also another thing to listen well to him talking to us. God wants to talk to you, he wants to build a relationship with you. Some people only want to hear the audible voice of God before the actually believe that God is talking to him, you are wrong Sir or Ma, even I as a prophetess, before I started hearing his audible voice, I was listening to his still small voice.

Moreso, do not expect God to be talking to you every minute and every second, God is not a talkative. Psalm 62:11 says "God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God".

Conscience is the ability to reason right or wrong.

God does not speak through our conscience. I do not have the appropriate words to explain it.

There are different ways depending on your spiritual state that He commubicates with His chosen.

As a new creation believer, believe in the finished work of Christ. You are a child of God, you double as a king and a priest. Engage actively and consistently in your priestly activities.

If you know your authority in Christ, you can command the sun not to smith you and tell the moon not to hurt you, you can command creation cause you are a child of God, you can command an animal not to harm you in the name of Jesus, its a mighty and powerful name, a name that breaks chains and yokes.

Our Lord Jesus Christ said in Mark 11:23 that we can tell a mountain to move from here to there if only we have faith, you need a strong level of faith, if you have doubt in you, your command won't carry power, all these are in line with the manifestation of the sons of God.

Before you sleep, make this declaration.

*I drink the blood of Jesus and I swallow the fire of the holyghost**, say it 7times before you go to bed and you are covered. Hallelujah!!!


Please always pray before you go to bed, when you wake up from sleep, do not forget to read the bible, you can read the bible anywhere, download a bible app, I recommend "You version bible" it has multiple translation, it helps, normalize reading the bible always, the bible contains the word of God and the word of God is quick and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword,piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.(Hebrew 4:12)

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11)

(John 6:63)
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Re: A Thread For Those Who Want To Draw Close To God. by Nobody: 11:36pm On Mar 05, 2021
In all you do, as a believer and as a born again Christian, do not forget you are a child of God, the bible confirms this in :

(John 1:12)
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name".

Romans 8:14,16
[14]For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God

[16]The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Also do not forget the authority you have in Christ Jesus.
(Luke 10:19)
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

(Matthew 10:8 )
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

A new creation believer has this authority and power at his disposal if only he have faith and he is consistent in the things of God. It is called " the manifestation of the sons of God".

The sons of God are arising. A heavy and serious revival coming.

I don't doubt you............

But I do not know if God operates outside that which He gave us as His Word as written in the Holy Book?

My reason is you do the work of God, desire the Holy Spirit to sharpen your gift(s)/calling and do away with titles.

I do not deny my office sir and never will.

I dunno why people are always like that to prophets and apostles, so because I said I am a prophet, I and now doing title thing and sounding proud, but if I say I am a pastor or say I am an evangelist, you won't see it as a title, it is people like you that receive prophets as pastors, when you receive a prophet as a pastor, you will miss out on what you should get from them.


I am a prophet and its not a title something, that is what God made me in my mother's womb, his grace is sufficient unto me.

This is even the first time I am even mentioning that I am a prophet on this thread, I dunno why you have an issue with it.

Pray according to d leading of the holy spirit. The holy spirit might want you to pray for long, or sing worship songs. He also might want you to engage in warfare prayers, he could also want you to pray calmly, be sensitive in the spirit to know when the holy spirit is directing you.
