Isaiah 42:8 I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
.. It is His glory. And when you get that from your head to your heart.. you begin to understand what this deeper life walk is about. He needs to show us that we need to take up our cross daily and follow Him which is crucifying that self life and all those affections for the things of the world. This leads us to a deeper walk of discipline training and learning to become sensitive and alert to the inner voice of The Spirit. The work that He’s doing through the cross – what He is teaching us and the trials that we go through is to make us sensitive to the inner voice of The Spirit..
.. This is why it’s an unveiling – the Sons of God are going to be unveiled – revealed to the world. But before that sonship is unveiled it must be revealed first to us. I go back to that vision I
had years ago of that onion where it has layers upon layers of skin – and that’s what it is. We’re fundamentally trained for that inner voice of The Spirit.. the voice of God and leading of The Spirit. This takes a lifetime brothers and sisters. It takes the trials and the tests – is is what faith is really all about.
Faith is about being tuned to the inner voice of The Spirit. The inner voice of The Spirit will never go contrary to His Word. We are to be traind in The Word of God for that very purpose. This will also prepare us for the greater warfare against the greater Forces of Darkness and what God has for us in these closing days. As the world is going further and further into darkness – the Great Apostacy / Falling Away so we likewise have to be taught by The Holy Spirit.. .. ..
Judges 7:2 And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.
3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
4 And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
5 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the Lord said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
7 And the Lord said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
Genesis 32:22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
