Today I share with you Part One of the revelation the Holy Spirit spoke to me concerning why we as humans always turn to humans as our first line of help when we have the Lord as a very present help in times of trouble. Psalm.46:1. Open your hearts to embrace these truths and receive the grace to make the Holy Spirit the first line of defence concerning your life and watch to see how things will change in your circumstances to be living in the place where you always have triumph in any circumstance through the miraculous hand of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit says why are you looking to men as your support and help when you have Him as your more than enough help in every situation. To rely on man is a curse and to trust the arm of flesh is like relying on the wind that would blow you away. Jeremiah.17:5-8 The Holy Spirit is your help in times of trouble and times of success and you need to remember what your strength and strong tower of refuge is.
The Lord will give you men to support you and be an encouragement to carry out the work you are called to do but they are not your support and refuge and must never become your place of succor and help in times of need . The Holy Spirit must become your closest and most trusted friend and support in life and your go to place for relief and answers and this will be tested in your life.
The Lord alone wants to be the One to whom you look to for refuge and support and not men. The Holy Spirit today reminded me of David when he was on a mission in 1 Samuel.30:6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
Now David came home to an invasion of all they had in Ziklag and all they had was gone and in this encounter all the men who were a support and help to David thought of killing him and he remembered that his trust was not in the men he had but the Lord who had called him and went on to encourage himself in the Lord his God and then found the way out of that dilemma as he inquired of the Lord and got the plan to recover back all that was robbed from them and much spoil in addition.
It is not that God did not want David to have the support of those men who God sent to help him ,but the Lord wanted David not to rely on the men but on the God who had called him to be the King and depend on Him and not the support of the men. There is a very fine line between trusting what God gives us to help us win our battles versus us trusting God Himself to be our go to in times of need.
Most often because we see men around us who are willing vessels of support and help we feel confident we have the necessary help ready and available to pull us up. However because we don’t see the Lord physically present and have to reach out by faith to seek Him in order to get an answer through prayer, which appears from the natural more difficult. That is exactly what is necessary if we are to remain on top of things pertaining to our lives. Psalms.20:7.
I told my closest friend in a season of great physical attack by much enemy barrage that seeking God to find out about a healing to understand what the situation she was facing was far better than consulting a doctor for a diagnosis because the doctor on his finest day even if a Christian doctor can be moved by the enemy. He is susceptible to making mistakes in the process, however the Lord would give you an answer of peace.
Fortunately the friend heeded that counsel and did not consult a doctor, but trusted the Lord and she is very much alive and very well because the Lord brought her out of what no human doctor could have by giving her the solution necessary for her deliverance which she now owns as a story of healing and deliverance of the ability and miraculous power of the Holy Spirit who delivers from all death.
So what I am sharing with you today by the Holy Spirit is the true advantage we have in the Lord as our go to help in times of need which the Lord wants to be our primary source of help.
You will notice from scripture that even Jesus Himself regardless of the wonderful faithful disciples He chose by the Holy Spirit all left Him at His most vulnerable time during His passion on the cross. However Jesus still said to them prior that my Father is always with me and will see me through. Matthew.26:31.
