A word from god to you

A word from God given to me to write on May 22, 2014
Acts 20:29-31 For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. [30] Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves . [31] Therefore watch, and remember that for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears. 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. [14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. [15] Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 15:9 And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men. Acts 17:23-24 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. [24] God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands. 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

2 Peter 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

Ezekiel 13:19-20 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies? Galatians 1:8-9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. [9] As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. 2Corinthians 4:2-4 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. [3] But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: [4] In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

2 Peter 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 Peter 3:16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction. 2 Peter 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. Mark 13:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Hebrews 13:9 Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them. Isaiah 65:2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts.

Jeremiah 14:14 Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.Jeremiah 23:21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

Jeremiah 23:25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. Jeremiah 23:26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart. Jeremiah 23:27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

　

Ezekiel 7:22 My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it. Mark 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. Mark 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. Jeremiah 23:28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.

John 14:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. Jeremiah 23:4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.1John 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. John 5:43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Luke 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand.

Ezekiel 13:19-20 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies? Ezekiel 13:20 Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly. 2 Thessalonians 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 2 Thessalonians 2:11

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
　
John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. John 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil 1Corinthian 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
　
John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. Matthew 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake

Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

　
Matthew 13:35 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.Mark 4:22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. Luke 8:16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
　
1 Peter 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

2 Timothy 2:10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

Matthew 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

LifeWay often prints a plan of salvation on the inside cover of our printed resources. When we began working on The Gospel Project, we decided to create something new that would go along with the curriculum’s focus: the grand narrative of Scripture. In the end, we summarized the Bible in roughly 300 words and finished with a call for people to repent and believe. Here’s how we did it…

Trying to capture the story line of the Bible in 300 words was a challenge. There are all sorts of things we wanted to put in but didn’t have room for.

What do you think? How would you summarize the Bible in 300 words?

Today I want to give you a recipe for victory, as found in Scripture, so you can be victorious in whatever situation you find yourself in. This is not meant to be an exhaustive presentation on every victory listed in the Bible – this is the story of Gideon and I believe it is the Word of the Lord to you. Do not misuse it. Handle it carefully. Apply it with maturity.

Additionally, let me say that there are battles that we have no business fighting. They belong exclusively to the Lord and many people find themselves in trouble fighting these fights. Throughout the scriptures, God’s people were under attack and there were times when God did everything. Israel just had to sit back and watch but in the majority of battles, although they were won because of God, nevertheless required a great level of personal participation. So,  you may have to do something and your attitude should always be Christlike!

Having said all that, let’s dive into this recipe for victory. Let’s take a look at the story of Gideon found in the Book of Judges.

The Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and for seven years He gave them into the hands of the Midianites. Because the power of Midian was so oppressive, the Israelites prepared shelters for themselves in mountain clefts, caves and strongholds. Whenever the Israelites planted their crops, the Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern peoples invaded the country.  They camped on the land and ruined the crops all the way to Gaza and did not spare a living thing for Israel, neither sheep nor cattle nor donkeys. They came up with their livestock and their tents like swarms of locusts. It was impossible to count them or their camels; they invaded the land to ravage it. Midian so impoverished the Israelites that they cried out to the Lord for help. (Judges 6:1-6)

1. The first thing to do is cry out to God

Like Israel, you are under attack: physically, emotionally, spiritually, or financially. The situation is oppressive; overwhelming; or at breaking point. Cry out to God my friend. He is waiting for you.

2. Disobedience is a key to disaster. Obedience is essential to victory

When the Israelites cried out to the Lord because of Midian, He sent them a prophet, who said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I brought you up out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.  I rescued you from the hand of the Egyptians. And I delivered you from the hand of all your oppressors; I drove them out before you and gave you their land. I said to you, ‘I am the Lord your God; do not worship the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you live.’ But you have not listened to Me.” (Judges 6:7-10)

3. Do not let your qualifications/fear hinder you.

It’s all Him and not you; if God is for you who can be against you. Paul said, “In my weakness He is strong”. Go in the strength you have.

The angel of the Lord came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” The Lord turned to him and said, “Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?” “Pardon me, my lord,” Gideon replied, “but how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family.” The Lord answered, “I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites, leaving none alive.” (Judges 6:11-13)

4. Bring an offering to the Lord

Gideon replied, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, give me a sign that it is really you talking to me. please do not go away until I come back and bring my offering and set it before you.” And the Lord said, “I will wait until you return.” (Judges 6:17-18)

Gideon began with an offering. I would suggest you do the same. Gideon actually gave an offering but then the Lord told him to bring an even more significant one. The seven-year old bull.

5. Remove / tear down / eliminate any obstacle between you and God

That same night the Lord said to him, “Take the second bull from your father’s herd, the one seven years old. Tear down your father’s altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.  Then build a proper kind of altar to the Lord your God on the top of this height. Using the wood of the Asherah pole that you cut down, offer the second bull as a burnt offering.” So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the Lord told him. But because he was afraid of his family and the townspeople, he did it at night rather than in the daytime. (Judges 6:25-27)

What is it in your life that needs to be torn down? You can do it in private. His own family was part of the problem.

6. Expect opposition

The people of the town demanded of Joash, “Bring out your son. He must die, because he has broken down Baal’s altar and cut down the Asherah pole beside it.” (Judges 6:30)

Opposition came from the very people God was about to save. It came from his own friends, coworkers, etc. Friend, expect opposition but do not let it deter you. Unfortunately, it may come from the very one you are hoping would encourage you.

7. Things will probably look worse before they get better.

Now all the Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern peoples joined forces and crossed over the Jordan and camped in the Valley of Jezebel. (Judges 6:33)

8. Ask God for a sign

Gideon said to God, “If you will save Israel by my hand as you have promised—look, I will place a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you said.” And that is what happened. Gideon rose early the next day; he squeezed the fleece and wrung out the dew—a bowlful of water.  Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me. Let me make just one more request. Allow me one more test with the fleece, but this time make the fleece dry and let the ground be covered with dew.” That night God did so. Only the fleece was dry; all the ground was covered with dew. (Judges 6:36-40)

Gideon is having his doubts. Don’t worry friend if you start to doubt along the way. God once again was patient to Gideon and allowed him the two signs. God wants you to be confident in Him. By the way, this is where we get the term “a fleece before God”

9. Less is more

The Lord said to Gideon, “You have too many men. I cannot deliver Midian into their hands, or Israel would boast against Me, My own strength has saved Me.” (Judges 7: 2)

Started with 32000; 22,000 went home in fear; 10,000 left; 9700 sent home (drinking water test); and 300 were left. What started out as an army of 32,000 ended up with 300. “Not by might, not by power but by My spirit,” says the Lord. You do not need an army, friend, God will lead you to victory.

10. Expect God to encourage you

Now the camp of Midian lay below him in the valley.  During that night the Lord said to Gideon, “Get up, go down against the camp, because I am going to give it into your hands. If you are afraid to attack, go down to the camp with your servant Purdah and listen to what they are saying. Afterward, you will be encouraged to attack the camp’.” (Judges 7: 2)

Note – Gideon did not ask for encouragement but nevertheless God wanted to build his faith and encourage him. Same with you, friend. God wants you to know that He will encourage you along the way.

So, he and Purah his servant went down to the outposts of the camp. The Midianites, the Amalekites and all the other eastern peoples had settled in the valley, thick as locusts. Their camels could no more be counted than the sand on the seashore. Gideon arrived just as a man was telling a friend his dream. “I had a dream,” he was saying. “A round loaf of barley bread came tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent with such force that the tent overturned and collapsed.” His friend responded, “This can be nothing other than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite. God has given the Midianites and the whole camp into his hands.” (Judges 7: 9-11)

God is going to encourage you, sir. God is going to encourage you, mam.

11. Do not quit until total victory – the battle is won in stages

Gideon and the hundred men with him reached the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after they had changed the guard. They blew their trumpets and broke the jars that were in their hands. The three companies blew the trumpets and smashed the jars. Grasping the torches in their left hands and holding in their right hands the trumpets they were to blow, they shouted, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!” While each man held his position around the camp, all the Midianites ran, crying out as they fled. Gideon and his three hundred men, exhausted yet keeping up the pursuit, came to the Jordan and crossed it. He said to the men of Sukkoth, “Give my troops some bread; they are worn out, and I am still pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian. “But the officials of Sukkoth said, “Do you already have the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna in your possession? Why should we give bread to your troops?” Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with a force of about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of the armies of the eastern peoples; a hundred and twenty thousand swordsmen had fallen.  Gideon went up by the route of the nomads east of Nobah and Jogbehah and attacked the unsuspecting army. Zebah and Zalmunna, the two kings of Midian, fled, but he pursued them and captured them, routing their entire army.”

300 against 120,000 miracle victory. But it took time, energy, exhaustion.

12. Expect more opposition as you are near the final victory

Gideon and his three hundred men, exhausted yet keeping up the pursuit, came to the Jordan and crossed it. He said to the men of Sukkoth, “Give my troops some bread; they are worn out, and I am still pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian. “But the officials of Sukkoth said, “Do you already have the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna in your possession? Why should we give bread to your troops?” (Judges 8: 4-6)

A miracle is taking place, the victory is in progress yet Gideon still has opposition from his own people. This is a warning to you my friend. Don’t let the nay-sayers stop or discourage you from finishing the job.

Finally, Beware the snare

A trap designed to cause you to backslide after the victory; the temptation to give your love and worship to another; and the lure to pull your focus away from God.

“The Israelites said to Gideon, ‘Rule over us—you, your son and your grandson—because you have saved us from the hand of Midian.’ But Gideon told them, ‘I will not rule over you, nor will my son rule over you. The Lord will rule over you.’ And he said, ‘I do have one request, that each of you give me an earring from your share of the plunder.’ (It was the custom of the Ishmaelites to wear gold earrings.) They answered, ‘We’ll be glad to give them.’ So they spread out a garment, and each of them threw a ring from his plunder onto it. The weight of the gold rings he asked for came to seventeen hundred shekels, not counting the ornaments, the pendants and the purple garments worn by the kings of Midian or the chains that were on their camels’ necks.  Gideon made the gold into an ephod, which he placed in Ophrah, his town. All Israel prostituted themselves by worshiping it there, and it became a snare to Gideon and his family.” (Judges 8: 22-27)

Note: Gideon’s success became a snare not only to him but to his family. An Ephod was an artifact/object to be revered. Friends, please learn from Gideon’s mistake and keep your eyes on Jesus the author and finisher of your faith. Gideon had good intentions. But he had the wrong application

In closing – enjoy the victory – Gideon’s enemy never raised it’s head again!

“Thus Midian was subdued before the Israelites and did not raise its head again. During Gideon’s lifetime, the land had peace forty years.” (Judges 8: 28)

Can somebody say Hallelujah!

Summary

The first thing to do is cry out to God; disobedience is a key to disaster; obedience is essential to victory; do not let your qualifications / abilities / fear hinder you; bring an offering to the Lord; remove / tear down / eliminate any obstacle or sin between you and God; expect opposition; things will look worse before they get better; God will give you a sign of “I am with you” (fleece); Less is moreGod will encourage you; the battle is won in stages. Do not quit until total victory; expect more opposition as you are nearing final victory; Beware the snare; and enjoy the victory.

What does the Bible say about getting “a word” from God? Here are 5 things that often happen when you’ve actually received an authentic word from God.



1. A Word from God Often Comes to Us at the Exact Right Moment and Relates to a Very Specific Issue We Are Having

What do I mean by this phrase “a word from God”? I’m not talking about “the word of God,” meaning the Bible. The Bible alone is inerrant. So any form of communication with God that occurs outside of the Scriptures must be used wisely and tested through a biblical lens.

So by this phrase “a word from God,” I’m talking about God communicating with you in a personal way, usually through a short statement. Perhaps you have been asking God if you should switch jobs and in prayer you feel like is saying, “Stay.” Or maybe you are praying for a loved one’s health and you read a passage in Scripture about healing and you feel a peace sweep over you. Or maybe you are asking God about someone you really like and then you see one of my videos and it’s titled, “3 Signs God Is Telling You to Date Someone.”

Are these kinds of experiences “a word from God”? They might be. They might not be. One way you can tell is if the timing matches up with your need and the wisdom offered in that word relates specifically to the issue you are currently dealing with.

For example, a lot of people just look at the titles of my videos and believe they are signs from God because the timing is perfect, but if you watch the videos and you go through the points in the videos and the content really doesn’t relate, that would not be a sign from God. But if you are asking God about someone and then a video of mine points you to a biblical truth that helps you know what God is actually saying to you about this relationship question, then that would be good evidence God is actually giving you a word.

As Psalm 34:4 says, “I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.” God’s deliverance matched the timing of the need for deliverance and the request for deliverance.

When the timing is perfect and the word is relevant, this is a good sign it’s actually a word from God to you.

2. A Word from God Will Sometimes Be What You Want to Hear and It Will Sometimes Be What You Don’t Want to Hear

A lot of Christians fall into one of two camps when it comes to hearing from God. Some Christians tend to believe every word that matches what they want to hear is always God. These Christians are often falling into the trap as outlined in 2 Timothy 4:3, “For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions . . . .”

On the other hand, other Christians tend to believe if a word does match what they want to hear this must not be God. Some people feel like God will never give them what they want because God will always be calling us to make a sacrifice. While God will call us to sacrifice some desires, we also need to remember that if a desire is biblical that desire is from God and thus God wants us to pursue that desire because he gave it to us.

One common example of this occurs when it comes to marriage. Some singles really want to be married but they feel like God is telling them to sacrifice this desire and pursue singleness. But according to 1 Corinthians 7, God is the one who gives this desire for marriage and if you are called to singleness you will be happy to be single like Paul was.

In 1 Corinthians 7:7 Paul wrote, “I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another.” Notice Paul was called to singleness and he was happy about it. When he said “I wish that all were as I myself am,” he was saying he was happy to be single and thus he wants everyone to experience this happiness. But notice that he recognized that not all have the same desires as him and thus he knew not all would be happy to be single, which is why he then says, “But each has his own gift from God, one of one kind and one of another.”

My point is, if you are someone who always hears God tell you exactly what you always want to hear, you are probably not hearing God correctly. Likewise, if you never hear God tell you what you want to hear, you too are not hearing God correctly. Sometimes a word from God will be what we want to hear and sometimes it won’t be.

May God grant us the humility to follow him always in truth.

3. A Word from God Will Guide You and Not Confuse You

I’ve had a lot of people tell me something they feel like God told them but then they ask me, “What does this mean?” In my opinion and in my view of Scripture, if God actually said something to you, it’s unlikely you will need someone else to tell you what it means. God knows how to communicate his truth to us in a way that we understand.

If you think you got a word from God but you don’t know what that word means, you probably didn’t get a word from God. As the Bible explains:

• “For God is not a God of confusion but of peace,” (1 Corinthians 14:33). A word from God will bring you peace, not more confusion.
• “Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you,” (Philippians 3:15). Hearing God properly is not solely dependent on us. God himself knows how to make us hear him correctly.
• “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path,” (Psalm 119:105). A word from God will bring more light, not darkness.

4. A Word Is Really from God When Things Outside of Your Control Happen That Need to Happen If This Word Was Really from God

Many people get confused because they are only looking to themselves as the evidence for what God may have said or may not have said. But we need to remember that God is sovereign over everything; therefore, if he says something to you personally, he has the power to confirm that word to you through things in the world that are completely outside of your control. As Jeremiah 32:6-8 recounts:

Jeremiah said, ‘The word of the Lord came to me: Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you and say, “Buy my field that is at Anathoth, for the right of redemption by purchase is yours.”’ Then Hanamel my cousin came to me in the court of the guard, in accordance with the word of the Lord, and said to me, ‘Buy my field that is at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for the right of possession and redemption is yours; buy it for yourself.’ Then I knew that this was the word of the Lord.”

Jeremiah did not have control over whether his cousin would come and ask him to buy a field. The word spoken to Jeremiah occurred like God said it would. Thus Jeremiah knew this was truly a word from God because things outside of his control occurred that confirmed this word was true.

We can control our thoughts, our feelings, and even things like our dreams can be influenced by our thoughts throughout the day before we went to bed. But when it comes to other people, places, and things, God alone will have to move the proper pieces to confirm his word. God will never speak something and then not accomplish it. If what you heard does not happen, God did not say it because God never lies (Hebrews 6:18).

Therefore, you will know a word was really from God when the things outside of your control happen that would need to happen to make this word come true.

5. A Word Is Really from God When It Is Consistent with The Word of God

The clearest way to know if a personal word from God was really from God is to compare this word to “the” word of God. We are fallible. The Bible is infallible. Our personal communication with God does not have more authority than the actual word of God given in Scripture. While God does speak to us personally, God will never contradict what he has already said in the Bible.

As Isaiah 40:8 states, “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.”

The message you will read below, is a personal love letter from God, for you. God is pure love. He loves you with a love that cannot be described in normal words. He longs to show you how much He loves you, so you can find rest in His arms of compassion. Therefor He gave us the Holy Spirit, who gives us the gifts of the Spirit. These gifts of the Spirit make it possible for God to express His deep, passionate eternal love for us. The Bible speaks for example about the gift of prophecy, which makes it possible for christians to become a vessel of the voice of God, so God can speak through them and touch the hearts of His beloved people in a very personal, direct way.

Here you can read such a prophetic word, inspired by the Holy Spirit, showing us how much God loves us. Thus it is a true love letter from God.

These words have not been made up by myself, but have truly been given by the Lord Himself, as the Bible says:

‘Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God.’ (1 Peter 4:11)

Please take a few minutes, to allow this love letter from God to sink deep into your heart.

You have been created by love, to live in love and to share God’s love. Love is the very reason of your existence. That’s why it’s so important that we get a deep and powerful revelation of the love of God.

Read and re-read this love letter from God, to give the words the chance to go beyond your mind and reach the depths of your heart… Then the truth will set you free.

Love letter from God, for you…

My beloved,

do you know that if I were with you in tangible form I would take you in my arms and cherish you?

I would tell you how precious you are to Me.

I would tell you how beautiful you are.

I would tell you how much I love you.

You would see my eyes… You would hear the sound of my voice. You would feel how affected I am over you.

You would see that I am your Father. And your best Friend.

You would understand that I will never leave you, that I’m always watching you, full of love.

I am here. Don’t think that I’m not there, my beloved. I am here.

If I could let you see how I feel about you, you would be surprised. No, astonished. You wouldn’t be able to believe it. You would say ‘it is too beautiful, too loving, too great, this is too beautiful.’

Still it is the truth.

If I could make you look into my eyes, if I could let you see the way I look at you, you would be so liberated.

Do you realise that?

So much fear would disappers. Your heart would experience so much joy.

I am here my child. I am speaking to you right now.

I am here, my beloved and I am singing a song over you. To show you how precious you are to Me. To show you how beloved you are to Me. (YOU, yes, you…. Really you!)

If you could see how much joy the angels that are with Me have over you. If you could see how proud they are of you.

Because you fight for Me, to do my will despite the many stumblings you make sometimes. They are proud of you. Because they know how hard the battle sometimes is, they know how much the enemy wants to destroy you.

But they are fighting abreast with you and Me, says Jesus. They are fighting together with us to show you that there is a joy reserved for you, that there is a freedom I have in store for you.

Just trust Me. You can rest. You can relax.

Let your head rest in My loving hands. You have been striding so much, fighting so much, my child.

Just come and put your head in my loving arms in peace and surrender.

With Me you are safe, so safe, so safe, so safe.

I am here, says Jesus. I am here. I am holding on to you.

And I will give you the rest you need.

I am here. And I’m always looking at you in everything you do. Full of love. Full of joy. Because I know you have entrusted your heart to Me.

Don’t give up, my beloved. Take new courage. Don’t be afraid of the future.

I am here. Really. I am here. And I am with you. Always.

Lots of love,

– Your heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit.
