Today I conclude the revelation from my communion time with the Holy Spirit on our attitude to experiencing the Lord’s provision for our lives.
This is the place the Lord wants us to walk where we completely trust in His ability to do what He has said. There should be no anxiety in us concerning our provision. There should be no consuming worry about how our needs will be met. There should be no double-mindedness in our hearts between trusting the Lord and depending primarily upon human ability. Instead, there must be complete trust and dependence upon the Lord’s ability and His nature to provide for those whom He has chosen.
Jesus makes it clear that the things about which we become anxious are precisely the things the people of the world spend their lives seeking after and working for. Yet our Father already knows that we need these things while we are on the earth. So the key issue is therefore not whether these things are what we should strife for with all our heart because the Lord already knows they are necessary for us to have on the earth. The issue is what will occupy our hearts and determine our priority.
Jesus’ instruction is unmistakable: “But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.” The Kingdom must become our primary pursuit. Jesus insists that we pursue the Kingdom with all our hearts, trusting that everything we genuinely need will be supplied once we obey His instructions. In fact, Jesus goes even further to say these words: “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” It pleases the Father to give us the Kingdom.
The Kingdom Mandate contains all the fullness of the Lord’s provision. It has everything we could ever possibly need. Therefore, our priority must not be consumed by chasing the things that the world considers its ultimate security. We are to go diligently after the Kingdom by wholeheartedly pursuing the Lord. We are to trust His nature by depending upon His ability to do what He has spoken. We are to allow the Holy Spirit to lead us into the truth of the Lord’s provision rather than allowing fear, doubt, anxiety, and unbelief to dictate our priorities.
The truths presented here are intended to take charge of our hearts and settle us into the place of peace and rest concerning our provision. We are called to repent for allowing doubt to push us away from truth and into a lie—the lie that the Lord does not care about our provision and that providing for ourselves must become our highest priority. When fear convinces us that everything depends upon our own ability, we can become so occupied with securing our lives that we neglect the Kingdom.
The Holy Spirit is calling us out of that place and the answer is not merely to tell ourselves not to worry because we need the grace of the Holy Spirit to empower us to see as Jesus wants us to see. We need to operate in the grace to recover ourselves from the stupor of anxiety and unbelief. Then we need the grace to consider provision correctly from Jesus’ perspective. We need grace to recognise again what our true priority is and embrace the grace to pursue the Kingdom with all of our hearts.
The Holy Spirit wants us to recover the correct order of our lives. So instead of making provision our master, we must make the Kingdom our pursuit. Rather than allow anxiety to govern our decisions, we must on purpose trust our Father’s reputation. So instead of allowing human expertise to become our ultimate authority, we should make listening to the Holy Spirit, who possesses all wisdom and truth our final authority.
We must stop depending primarily upon what man can do for us, by depending upon the Lord who created you, redeemed you, called you, and knows exactly what you need. As you return to this perspective, we will experience everything that has already been apportioned to you by the Lord. The Holy Spirit wants to guide us into all truth and free us from the lie that has kept us anxious, fearful, double-minded, and overly occupied with earthly provision.
The Lord has ordained a place for His people which is a place of victory and triumph in Jesus’ name. Therefore, the call for us is to trust the Lord completely, by pursuing His Kingdom wholeheartedly, and allow His Spirit to lead us into the fullness of what He has already made available for us.
The central message from this revelation is a call from the Holy Spirit for us to examine the basis of our trust by taking a good look at who we believe, whose counsel we allow to direct our lives, and whose word we permit in our hearts to determine our future. The question is not whether human experts have knowledge or whether their advice can be useful, but whether we have placed their words above the voice of the One who possesses all wisdom and all truth.
The Holy Spirit is asking us why we would readily trust a human expert because he has studied a subject and follow his instructions to the letter, while questioning, scrutinising, or hesitating over the instructions of the Holy Spirit. The Lord wants us to recognise what determines whom we trust, rely upon, and depend upon concerning our lives.
Father, in the name of Jesus, I repent for every place where I have allowed doubt, fear, anxiety, and unbelief to cause me to question Your care for me and Your ability to provide for me. Holy Spirit, please empower me to see as Jesus wants me to see and deliver me from every lie that has made me believe that my provision must become my highest priority. Recover my heart from every form of anxiety and double-mindedness.
Teach me to trust You completely and how to rely upon Your wisdom, Your truth, Your nature, and Your ability. Help me to recognise my value to You so I can live from the confidence that if You care for the ravens, You will certainly care for me. I choose to seek the Kingdom of God with all my heart and flatly refuse to allow worry about food, drink, provision, or tomorrow to control my heart.
I believe that my Father knows what I need, and I trust His good pleasure to give me the Kingdom. Holy Spirit, please guide me into all truth by freeing me from every lie. Then faithfully lead me into the place You have ordained for me, to enable me to experience everything You have already apportioned to me to have on earth in Jesus’ name. Amen.
I declare that I will trust the Lord completely and absolutely and I will not allow anxiety concerning provision to overthrow my confidence in the Lord’s faithfulness. I know that I am valuable to my Father, and I know that He cares for me, watches over me, and provides for me. I refuse to make earthly provision my highest pursuit but I seek the Kingdom of God with all my heart, and I trust that everything I need shall be added to me.
I will not be double-minded, unstable, fearful, or driven by anxiety. My confidence is in the Lord and in His unchanging Word. The Holy Spirit always leads me into all truth and delivers me from every lie. I receive grace to see from Jesus’ perspective, to trust in the Lord’s nature, and to depend upon His ability. I recover my Kingdom priority, by walking in divine provision, and I experience everything that has already been apportioned to me by the Lord.
I declare that I am not abandoned, I am not forgotten and I am not without supply. My Father knows what I need, and it is His good pleasure to give me the Kingdom. Therefore, I walk in trust, I walk in peace, walk in provision, and I walk in total victory and triumph in Jesus’ name. Amen!
