As we relinquish our own will to FATHER, we are preparing ourselves for complete victory for this is the perfect Will of GOD. This framework forms the proper foundation of our Intended walk associated with our individual callings.
Just as Jesus healed them all in Acts chapter 10:38, we are meant to do the same. This is foundational and we are to build upon this framework as we mature in The Secret Place. We don’t have to ask FATHER if it is HIS Will, The Word clearly expresses It as Jesus prophesied of this reality on our behalf.
Jesus meant everything He said throughout the Gospels and Acts. In Mark chapter 16, He spoke:
15 And He said to them (and us), “As you go into all the world, preach openly the wonderful news of the Gospel to the entire human race! 16 Whoever believes the Good News and is baptized will be saved, and whoever does not believe the good news will be condemned. 17 And these miracle signs will accompany those who believe: They will drive out demons in the power of My Name. They will speak in Tongues. 18 They will be supernaturally protected from snakes and from drinking anything poisonous. And they will lay hands on the sick and heal them.”
Jesus meant it! We are to speak in Tongues, a direct command from Jesus, no if’s, and’s, or but’s. Jesus also spoke the following parable in Matthew chapter 25:
1 “Then the Kingdom of Heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the Bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the Bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the Bridegroom is coming; go out to meet Him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the Bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with Him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But He answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’
13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.”
Jesus gives His disciples two parables to describe the two types of believers in the last days. One group would relate to Jesus as servants to a Master (24:45–51), and the other group would relate to Him as a bride to a Bridegroom (25:1–13). Those servants are the ones who decide to remain in the acceptable Will of GOD rather than go on to the perfect Will of GOD as Sons and Daughters of GOD. The five wise virgins paid the price for the oil and could not share it because of the cost. They had wisely paid the price in The Secret Place and were transformed. There is a precious cost to this pursuit.
Many if not most believers will not pay this cost. They are content with the acceptable Will of GOD. They really don’t understand the temporary nature of the current environment promoted by the world system. They are satisfied to stay in a somewhat immature state and be fed “soul food” by the local minister thus never reaching full maturity. They will remain servants.
The five wise virgins made a full and precious commitment in preparation for the wedding in Heaven. By the way, there is a reason that Jesus then spoke forth the parable about financial stewardship: Matthew 25:14-29. He never spoke a Word that He didn’t mean for us to embrace. Think about it. As you do, complete victory is near. The Holy Spirit will guide you into all Truth, the foundation of victory.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:
13 But when the Truth-giving Spirit comes, He will unveil the reality of every Truth within you. He won’t speak on His own, but only what He hears from the Father, and He will reveal prophetically to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me on the earth, for He will receive from Me what is Mine and reveal it to you. 15 Everything that belongs to the Father belongs to Me—that’s why I say that the Divine Encourager will receive what is Mine and reveal It to you.
As stated before, write down in a journal the prophetic Words given to you during your time in The Secret Place. Speaking in Tongues is critical to receiving the revelation and fullness of the prophecies meant for you and me. These prophecies will lead us into complete victory.
