Follow The Buzz Words
[Text Version]
BUZZ WORDS: FOLLOWING HIS PATH
Geocaching is a big thing in Oregon and there are millions of geocaches all over the world. It is like a modern day treasure hunt. The kids buy GSP devices or follow a GPS APP on their phones that show the satellite coordinates of latitude and longitude positions of a cache on earth. People have left caches all over the earth and mark their coordinates and then others follow the coordinates leading them to little boxes or canisters.
In a spiritual language, geotagging could be like scribing the Words of the Lord. It is like following a trail of buzz words from one place to the next. Buzz words are words that the Lord quickens to us with special meaning and significance to us. They are like little beacons saying, “This is the way, walk in it!” Usually we hear or see those buzz words more than once. They can be repeated in a conversation, a bumper sticker, in scripture, on a sign, in an object, a story, and anyplace in life! They are common denominator words that buzz – they ring in our hearts as a true Word, even if we don’t know exactly what it means! We follow from buzz word to buzz word and suddenly we find the revelation! It makes sense!
Just like Geocaching is finding the treasure at the end of the trail… Our spiritual goal is finding His revealed Word on a personal level. Finding God at the end of every trail is the very best treasure of all.
Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Another example of this, is how the Lord leads me through quickened eye glances. It is like the hound dog following his nose, only He leads me with His eye inside of me. I am so practiced at this experience (with confirmations) that I have learned to depend upon this being an intimate part of my life in the Lord and when I operate in that gift, it is a natural part of my faith level, just as much as if I saw Him literally pointing to a sign saying, “This is My Word.”
The more confirmations one receives of this type of life the stronger you will become in understanding the amazing mystery of Christ in us, the hope of glory. His Spirit lives inside of us and is like a beacon calling us to find a trail of His Words. When we give Him our eyes to look through, our ears to hear through, all our senses… we learn to be led by Him Who lives inside of us.
Colossians 1:26-27 Even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
A quickened eye glance happens when I am thinking about Him, perhaps praying or pondering, and suddenly my eye lands right on a parable or His thoughts about what I am already thinking about! For instance today I was already thinking about the word “tracking” the Lord’s Words. And I took a break and went to Facebook. My eye landed on a comment where someone mentioned using a GPS navigation device from Oregon. I love how He lifts me up with such precious gifts saying, I AM here! Follow Me! This is your sign that you are on My path!
Isaiah 30:21 And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it, when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left.
11/13/13 TRACKING DOWN HIS WORD
HEARD: I have something to show you, will you look? Route. Hiker, the last frontier. Finding the spot. Marking it as My Word. Put it on the map. Keeping a copy of it. Onto the next Word. See where it takes you. Take it to the top. It’s that simple. There you have it ladies and gentlemen. It’s My Word. Absolutely, it fits.
HEARD: Pray about whatever is on your heart. It is dispatched authority. If you care, we care. Grafted into My kingdom.
10/13/13 HEAR IT DO IT
HEARD: If I could just hear You. Hunter. Hound dog. Parable. The kingdom of God.
COMMENTS: The Lord is leading us to the top of His holy mountain and showing us His path! Learning to be sensitive to follow the Holy Spirit is like a hound dog who sniffs out the scent of Jesus’ footsteps. A dog’s nose is his best gift, even before ears and eyes. A dog doesn’t have to figure much out with his brain, or understand how his nose works. It is an instinctive part of how he is made.
When we are in tune (at one/ communing) with His Spirit, we instinctively are led by the Spirit. It’s being sensitive to a spiritual language that bypasses our carnal minds.
Romans 8:14-16 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, by which we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
1 Corinthians 2:10-16 But God has revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man, except the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
If we are communing with Him while we are walking down an isle in a grocery store, He may have a comment about what we just looked at and when we apply it, we suddenly have a “wow” moment! His comments may only be one phrase, but when we apply it to what we just looked at, and put it in spiritual context to matters He has already been speaking to us about, they become profound impacts. This is not possible if we are busy communing with the world, through the lust of our flesh, eyes and pride. But if we have a humble and teachable spirit and have died to the world, our hearts are with Him no matter what we are looking at. It’s like the hound dog. Once he catches the scent of what he wants to find, he can zoom through a myriad of trees and bushes and bypass them all! He keeps his head to the ground and follows the path of the one scent that matters.
1 John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides forever.
HOW TO BECOME SENSITIVE TO HIM
Scripture tells us that where our treasure is, there shall our heart be also. In the Greek, this means is that what you invest your life in, what you commit to and/or purpose, then your thoughts and feelings (Gk for heart) will follow to that same place.
Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
That is a very powerful concept that our thoughts and emotions follow where we invest our life. I can remember Bob Jones saying that when he saw the line of people going to hell, they were actually encased in what they gave their lives to on earth. Like one person was wrapped up in a dollar bill, etc. It is so important that we give our commitment, our time and purposes on earth to the Lord Jesus Christ as our number one love. As we continue to invest our lives in developing our relationship with Him, then our thoughts and emotions will follow to that place of partnering with Him to find His kingdom treasures.
PRAYER: Lord teach us how to follow You and find the path of Your personal Words to us! Let our journeys be ones of finding daily manna hidden in plain sight. May we find joy anew as we discover Your Words anew. Align us to be obedient to Your Word Lord and then give us eyes, ears, noses and all the spiritual senses to instinctively find Your rhema Words lovingly planted for us as handfuls of purpose. Let our hearts be aflame in hot pursuit to find Your Word in everyday life. In Jesus Name.
Ruth 2:15-18 And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not: 16 And let fall also some of the handfuls on purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not. 17 So she gleaned in the field until evening, and beat out what she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley. 18 And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her what she had reserved after she was satisfied.
