What does it mean to perceive? It is the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something, to realize or understand, to become conscious of. These writings are given to me by The Holy Spirit virtually every day for our benefit. As you and I read these writings, our perception shifts toward Heaven and we begin to perceive the Agape Love in FATHER’S Heart for us. We slowly but surely begin to reflect HIS character in what we say and do. As our perception shifts, our priorities shift in response.
The Holy Spirit wrote in Psalm 36:
5 But you, O Lord, your mercy-seat love is limitless,
reaching higher than the highest heavens.
Your great faithfulness is infinite,
stretching over the whole earth.
FATHER is 100% faithful to HIS Word and we can count on that reality once we perceive it to be true. It is my deepest desire to fully take on FATHER’S character and express HIS Agape Love to all I encounter… without exception. In order to walk in this manner, I must be faithful to yield to The Holy Spirit. When I pray in Tongues, I actively yield to FATHER and submit my being to HIS Most Holy Spirit. We need to realize this when we pray.
Our perception must be elevated if we are to be fully effective in our individual callings. We must be able to see above the dark clouds covering this broken world and know that FATHER has a plan to bring forth light into this world. Life is not about surviving this world but overcoming and overthrowing this broken world.
If needed, FATHER can change things instantly on your behalf. In Numbers chapter 23, it is written by The Holy Spirit:
19 “God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?”
Whatever FATHER says, you can count on it. We must not allow unbelief to enter in and make HIS Word ineffective in our life. Each of us has the option to accept or reject HIS Word in our life because Love does not force Its will on us. As our perception shifts to full belief IN HIM and HIS WAYS and ACTS, HIS Word becomes effective on our behalf. HIS Word is full of power and authority and supersedes all other authority on earth… no exceptions.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 8:
5 When Jesus entered the village of Capernaum, a captain in the Roman army approached him, asking for a miracle. 6 “Lord,” he said, “I have a son who is lying in my home, paralyzed and suffering terribly.”
7 Jesus responded, “I will go with you and heal him.”
8–9 But the Roman officer interjected, “Lord, who am I to have you come into my house? I understand your authority, for I too am a man who walks under authority and have authority over soldiers who serve under me. I can tell one to go and he’ll go, and another to come and he’ll come. I order my servants and they’ll do whatever I ask. So I know that all you need to do is to stand here and command healing over my son and he will be instantly healed.”
10 Jesus was astonished when he heard this and said to those who were following him, “He has greater faith than anyone I’ve encountered in Israel!”
Great faith comes when your perception of FATHER’S superior authority is realized. At some point, a shift will occur in you and your faith will increase to a higher level. When will this occur? It is unique to each of us but as we press in, be assured that it will occur. Our eyes will open wider and we will be able to see without obstruction. We will be able to perceive the spirit realm more clearly and not be moved by the chaos around us. The Holy Spirit will guide us into all Truth in every situation we encounter.
In 1 John 3, the Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit, “The reason the Son of God was revealed was to undo and destroy the works of the devil.” As each of us perceives the shift occurring in us, we will embrace this reason for our existence on earth at this time. We will access the same power and authority to drive out spirits in Jesus’ Name (Mark 3:15). Jesus expressed in John 10:
9 I am the Gateway. To enter through me is to experience life, freedom, and satisfaction. 10 A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!
Let His life overflow in you and me!
