Discern (How to)Understanding

TAKING DEEP DIVES IN HIS SPIRIT

This rhema about deep dives and discernment was the Lord’s response to my listening to 3 different prophets who had very strong meat warnings over the USA.  These prophets I do not consider judgement prophets so I took extra care to listen to and pray over the warnings.  Not everything that prophets receive are easy to swallow, they take time with prayer, and also a lot of discernment to be able to understand the know the heart of God behind the message.

5/03/24 TAKING DEEP DIVES IN HIS SPIRIT

Last night I saw I was following an angel through some deeper waters. The river was massively wide and he was up to his waist and still wading. We started at ankle deep and I understood we were in Ezekiel waters. He turned around towards me and pointed to the place in front of me that was about a 3 foot stretch of water that I had to swim through, but it would go back to being waist deep where he was standing. I took one step forward and swam and did just fine. It took courage to take the plunge but I knew it would only be short distance so I was fine. Our goal was to get some meat that was caught in a trap. We made it there and were reaching down to retrieve it.

Eze 47:1-5 NLT In my vision, the man brought me back to the entrance of the Temple. There I saw a stream flowing east from beneath the door of the Temple and passing to the right of the altar on its south side. (2) The man brought me outside the wall through the north gateway and led me around to the eastern entrance. There I could see the water flowing out through the south side of the east gateway. (3) Measuring as he went, he took me along the stream for 1,750 feet and then led me across. The water was up to my ankles. (4) He measured off another 1,750 feet and led me across again. This time the water was up to my knees. After another 1,750 feet, it was up to my waist. (5) Then he measured another 1,750 feet, and the river was too deep to walk across. It was deep enough to swim in, but too deep to walk through.

THE HUGE SLAB OF MEAT

I saw that I was working in a large pot of stew. There was a huge piece of meat in the pot, like about a 5 pound slab. I was busy cutting it up inside the pot so that it would be easier to eat. It was definitely strong meat and not yet tender or easy to swallow!

WISDOM: When hearing or seeing strong meat that is difficult to swallow, WAIT on the Lord. It takes time to simmer and break down the tougher parts to swallow. Sometimes there are bones to separate and not swallow at all. Sometimes there is fat from one’s soul that needs to be cut out so that the pure meat of the Word can become tender and able to swallow.

Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

John 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.

Matthew 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as you will.

CONFIRMATIONS: GOING DEEPER

This morning before I sat down in my chair I had an eye glance on the shelf to an old journal so I retrieved that one and turned to 10/26/20 where I saw 5 squares of blue in a watercolor chart, going progressively darker. They were increasing depth of blue which is increasing depth of revelation.

10/26/20: Watch and listen. Do not be afraid. I saw 5 squares of blue in a watercolor chart. They were increasing depth of blue which represents increasing depth of revelation.

DEEPER IN GOD:

  • Growing revelation
  • Understanding Him
  • Increasing intimacy
  • Knowing His voice
  • Circling confirmations
  • Establishing solid faith
  • Blending oneness with Him; body, soul, spirit


QUICKENED QUOTE :
 Enoch said to Rick, you must always stay close to the living waters and they are always flowing. As you go higher you will have to dig for the living waters.

To me, digging means asking questions, pray then study.


WORD TO PONDER: GOING DEEPER INTO ME 10/26/20

Throughout the years, I have been building our relationship. I have been building our two-way connection with layer by layer outwards, and level by level deeper. Our time spent together brings mutual satisfaction. Dear one, I have promised that those who seek Me shall find Me. And if you diligently seek Me you will be rewarded.

Are you willing to grow deeper and know Me on a deeper level? Knock and the door will be opened for you. Deeper and deeper I will draw you into Myself and we will become One. You will find such pleasure in experiencing Me living in and through you.

Matthew 7:7-11 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened. 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

5/10/24: DEEP DIVE INDIGO

Courage dear one. Don’t quit baby doll. I am here to help you. I saw the word Indigo written out, when I was looking up at the stars.

Indigo is a deep, deep dark blue color in my watercolors. I believe He was referring to what goes on in the heavenlies.

Psalm 18:11 He made darkness his secret place; his canopy round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

Psalm 97:2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the habitation of his throne.

Psalm 139:10-14 Even there shall your hand lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. 12 Yea, the darkness hides not from you; but the night shines as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to you. 13 For you have formed my inward parts: you have covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are your works; and that my soul knows right well.

Job 12:22 AMP He uncovers deep things out of darkness and brings into light black gloom and the shadow of death. 

Isaiah 60:1-3 Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you. 3 And the Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

DISCERNMENT SCHOOL

Treading carefully. Good job. Raising up into the deeper things of God. Discernment school and how to separate. Discernment and the way it operates. There are always 2 sides of the coin. You will see both. You must stand and you must think. To fortify yourself with the Word of the Lord and Who I am.

INSERT WORDS TO PONDERS ABOUT LEARNING TO DISCERN

STRONG MEAT 1/6/03

I AM going to release more protein, strong meat from My throne to My people. They have been nourished with mother’s milk and are now in need of stronger muscles. Sometimes strong meat is an offense to ones’ expectations. It takes effort to chew meat. It takes time to digest meat. It takes time to assimilate meat before it yields strength. Strong meat can be a challenge to overcome the urge to spit it out upon first taste, but it is necessary to begin this process.

Supernatural things are coming down the pipeline and these signs are strong meat. These will take discernment to understand and to separate My Holy Words from the profaned ones of the enemy. Lean upon Me to lead you in the direction you need to go. Ask Me for wisdom and discernment to know the difference. Always listen for My heartbeat of love in all that you are exposed to. My heartbeat of love will help you find your way even if you can not hear anything else.

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world — the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life — is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” (1Jo 2:15-17 NKJV)

CLOSING THE DOOR TO STRONG MEAT 1/03/08

Beloved ones, I have been slowly adding strong meat to your diet and bringing you off milk. I understand this has been a long process of your growing in discernment and learning more about My nature. For many years I have been long suffering and working to help you come to a decision about how to discern My voice and understand what I have been telling you. I desire to bring clarity into your life but can not do so as long as you halt between 2 decisions.

It is My desire that you make your decisions so that we can move away from wrestling. Even though I have been relentless in knocking upon your door, I am honoring your desires to no longer wrestle over these things. I respect your will and release you to your own choice about your limits and boundaries of how I speak to you. I just want you to be sure, and dont want you to regret your choice. This is a true change of season where lines of demarcation are being drawn based upon your own choices.

Mr 4:24-25 NLT

And be sure to pay attention to what you hear. The more you do this, the more you will understand — and even more, besides. 25 To those who are open to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But to those who are not listening, even what they have will be taken away from them.”

ONE CLOUD, TWO PERSPECTIVES 5/10/14

Beloveds, you are moving into the day of strong meat. Supernatural visions and experiences are pouring out and it is important to chew everything carefully as you go through the process of discernment. Yes you will vacillate between 2 opinions as you carefully weigh each side of the same coin. On one side you will see dark plans and on the other you will see how My goodness overcomes evil.

As you wait upon Me for wisdom and understanding, you will learn to chew strong meat and separate both and to spit out the bones. You will learn how to discern between what is from Me and what is not. The strong meat of the supernatural does reveal 2 sides and can be interpreted 2 ways. Remember on the night of Passover, the death angel passed over those who had the blood on their doors but those who did not were destroyed. Remember when I judged Egypt with darkness, the children of Israel had light in their dwellings. Remember that I hide Myself in a dark cloud and My cloud protects you.

On one side is My goodness, My good plans to cover My own and redeem man from destruction. The wicked one kills, steals and destroys. I disclose what is evil so it may be destroyed. Learn to know Me and My intent in the earth. Learn about My kingdom coming to earth where the works of the devil will be destroyed and paradise rebuilt in the Millennium. Choose Me, choose life, and keep your focus on My goodness. I will give you keys to know how to separate and receive strong meat that will strengthen you for the days to come.

Heb 5:14 AMP

But solid food is for full- grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law.

De 4:11-12 And you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness. 12 And the LORD spoke unto you out of the midst of the fire: you heard the voice of the words, but saw no form; only you heard a voice.

Ex 20:18-21 And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they moved, and stood far off. 19 And they said unto Moses, Speak you with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God has come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that you sin not. 21 And the people stood far off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

EXERCISING IN STRONG MEAT 5/12/14

For generations My people have been stuck in never ending circles of milk. They have remained carnal and unable to hear more from Me. The time is late and I AM moving My people into maturity and meat. Yes beloveds, this stretches your faith. Yes beloveds it moves you to cling to Me from concerns of being burnt. Yes beloveds strong meat can cause a temporary sifting as you bring the details through the sieve of My Word. However spiritual meat is very important for the days in which you live. This meat will catch the attention of a new generation of believers, hungry for the supernatural. This meat will wake up the sleeping ones of older generations. Others have been crying out for the power of the God of Elijah. The door is opening and I AM bringing My own into a new walk of power as they learn to stretch forth their faith to experience My Living Word.

Heb 5:11-14 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to explain, seeing you are dull of hearing. 12 For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. 13 For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
