Everyone seeks revelation, or so they claim. Actually, everyone seeks a double witness to embrace their current view and new revelation may be rejected since by the ego-dominated view prevails over the consciousness of the people. This is not a new issue. The entire generation of Israelites died in the wilderness because they could not embrace the revelation of the Promised Land. Only Joshua and Caleb ( a double witness) would enter in. It takes courage to embrace a revelation. How many times have we read in Scripture “be of good courage”?
It was Our Heavenly Father’s will for the children of Israel to spend 18 months in the wilderness but it was His plan for them to spend 40 years. Their egos were dominated by the slavery mentality and fiercely protected their ego’s position, to their own demise. What happens when you submit to a revelation? Things change for the better. When the Holy Spirit was manifested at Pentecost, the revelation was embraced and changed the world. Those who did not participate were left to “go ’round the mountain” in the wilderness once again.
At this website, we have been sharing about the revelation of energy medicine. Some will embrace it and live healthier lives whereas some will reject it and go the way of the current and popular protocols of pharma-based medicine with all of the nasty side effects. Jesus healed people by various means and methods. Had He healed only by one method, people would have focused on that particular method as the “formula” for healing. The revelation of energy based medicine is not the end game but is a bridge to wisdom and understanding of the impact of the spirit and soul on the body’s physiology. It is also a lawful means to healing. I have been healed by the anointing of Our Heavenly Father, superceding all natural means of healing and recuperation. I much prefer that method. However, when we expose ourselves to toxic agents, bacteria, viruses, etc., there is a lawful and low impact means of removal available to us via energy medicine. At some point in time even energy medicine will be looked at as an obsolete method of restoring the body to health. Jesus walked the earth without sickness or disease until He accepted them on the Cross. At some point, the revelation of that walk will be fully revealed.
I recently attend a lunch meeting to discuss the future of technology and the opportunity for a specific company to position itself in the middle of the anticipated direction of technological flow. Their clientele are international-based companies so their positioning should accommodate a global view of technology rather than a U.S.-centric view. Their internal staff has had a narrow view of technology and only operated on one specific platform. When an expert came in to review their current operations and recommend a global-oriented path, the internal staff rejected the revelation. Why? I am convinced that the ego prevailed to protect the past decisions of the company. From a strategic point of view, this company is at the same place it was twelve years ago. Yes, they have new equipment and software, but their overall operational effectiveness has not improved significantly over the past decade. At some point in time, old revelation becomes tradition and dies. From a business standpoint, the corporation files bankruptcy or is taken over by a competitor who continues to seek revelation in the area of their focus. Contracting consultants who only have experience in the current company platform is designed to “double witness” the ego-centric direction. What a waste of time and money!
A young man in his 30’s recently went through a divorce and thought his life was over. He ended up with virtually nothing after 10+ years of marriage. Given that divorce is devastating on both parties, he is now focused on his current situation. He has nothing and the prospects for income don’t look to good with the state of the economy. Hence, he is depressed. On the other hand, I see all sorts of potential. I have also gone through the “financial wilderness” only to find a full and complete restoration on the other side. I once unexpectedly made $10,000 in 15 minutes because Our Heavenly Father sent a business deal my way. “Success is just one phone call away.” Our eyes must be opened to enable us to see opportunity but what keeps this from happening? Continuing to walk in an illusion that is created by the ego to enslave us will only result in destruction. Illusions are temporary in nature, the reality of Our Heavenly Father is permanent.
We ask the wrong question! When we continue to pursue a path of resistance, or hindered success, we should stop and “be still”. Most people ask the question, “Lord, may I continue on this path?” The answer will be “Yes”. However the question should be “Lord, should I continue on this path?” The answer will probably be “No”. Our Heavenly Father will answer you according to the idols in your heart unless you submit to HIS revelation of your situation. HE operates in perfect wisdom, understanding, and knowledge of your situation. HE is not limited to your view of the world. There will be times when you should cut your losses and change direction. Most investors get to learn that lesson the hard way. When they pick a stock and it begins to drop in value, their ego tends to prevail and they hold that stock until it becomes worthless.
If you are not fruitful in an area of your life, admit it, repent. Repentance means to “change direction” and in Scripture Our Heavenly Father tells us to “turn from our wicked ways”. If you are heading in the wrong direction and are willing to conduct a fruit assessment, you are setting the stage for blessing. If you seek revelation in the area of fruitlessness and submit yourself (and your ego) and admit you were wrong (confession), Our Heavenly Father will provide you with the revelation needed to correct the problem. HE may send someone with the gifts and calling to assist, consult, or direct you into the revelation that will produce the good fruit you seek and desire. Discernment, acknowledgement, and workability are humbling attitudes. Without these attributes you are destined to continue your trek in the wilderness.
The ego will promote transference. The problem will transfer its symptoms to whatever it believes contains the solution. However, solutions will be found only in relation to actual causes. This is why confession is important. This is where the “break” in revelation occurs. Understanding where and when the ego took over is critical to resolving the underlying issue that put you on the wrong path to begin with. Otherwise, if a new solution to the problem comes forth, the ego will attack the new solution, if given the opportunity, and will attempt to force failure on the new direction. However, revelation supercedes the ego’s illusions and will prevail because with the revelation comes the powerful mandate “Be of good courage”.
