“Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace” (1 Corinthians 14:29-30 KJV).

The following verses show the principle of two or three witnesses:

“But if he will not hear thee, then] take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established” (Matthew 18:16 KJV).

“One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established” (Deuteronomy 19:15 KJV).
mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established” (2 Corinthians 13:2b KJV).

For revelation, confirmation is a matter of safety for the church. When God reveals a truth to us, we long for other members of Christ’s body to receive that same revelation and confirm it. It’s exciting to hear someone prophesy the same revelation that was so new to you when you have never told that person about the revelation.

If the Holy Spirit confirms a revelation through many members of the church, we take it more seriously. However, that doesn’t establish the revelation. Revelation isn’t established unless the Holy Spirit confirms the revelation to all the apostles.

“it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit” (Ephesians 3:5b KJV).

AS THE EARTH BRINGS FORTH HER BUDS

(Isaiah 61:11)

As the earth brings forth her buds
And as things that are sown spring forth;
So the Lord our GOD will cause
His Righteousness to spring forth.

Break up, break up your fallow ground:
It’s time to seek the LORD.
If you seek Him, He will be found.
It’s time to seek the LORD.

Sow good Seed in all you do.
It’s time to seek the LORD.
Till He rain His righteousness on you.
It’s time to seek the Lord.

“no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” (1 Corinthians 12:3b KJV).

We have another safeguard when God is leading us, especially concerning revelation that has greater scope than personal leading in your life. There is a principle in Scripture of two or three witnesses for confirmation. However, be careful in this hour. The enemy of our souls is extremely deceptive. Consider the times when all the Old Testament prophets agreed except for one, the one who was actually hearing the word of the Lord.

“How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying” (1 Corinthians 14:26 KJV).

A member may have a revelation during a meeting, but God will confirm any revelation through two or three other members. We need to check our revelation because the fleshly nature is still strong and deceptive. The 29th verse seems to be saying two or three prophets confirm a prophecy. Other Scriptures talk about two or three witnesses.

We long for the day when our hearing God will be so clear there will be no question. What’s the answer? Keep seeking the Lord. Keep walking in obedience to His Spirit. This is where spiritual maturity happens. This is how you gain discernment.

As For Me, I Shall Behold Thy Face In Righteousness

As for me I shall behold,
Thy face in righteousness,
And I shall be satisfied,
And I shall be satisfied,
When I awake,
With Thy likeness.

As we all with open face,
Beholding as in a glass,
The glory of the Lord,
Are changed into the same image,
From glory to glory even as by,
The Spirit of the Lord.

Take away the veil of the flesh.
See the church with eyes of the Lord;
See the glory of the Lord.
Be transfigured to His image,
From glory to glory even as by,
the Spirit of the Lord

As we discern His Body, His Temple,
Each part set in their right place.
Though hidden from the world,
His glory is revealed,
From glory to glory as we begin,
To behold more and more of His face.

Yield to His Spirit, from faith unto faith,
‘Til His pattern is the only one.
The flesh shall all vanish,
In the light of His glory,
from glory to glory, transfigured by,
The Spirit of the son.

Ps. 17:15, 2 Co. 3:18, 1 Jo. 3:2

“And when He putteth forth His own sheep, He goeth before them, and the sheep follow Him: for they know His voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.” … “I am the Good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine.” … “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me”  (John 10:3-5, 14, & 27 KJV).

The word translated as “hear” in this passage means to comprehend and understand. If that wasn’t clear enough, Jesus also said His sheep recognize Him. They know Him. They know the difference between Christ’s voice and the voice of their fallen mind or a demon. When you are in church meetings where the body of Christ has the freedom to prophesy, you gain a keen sense to recognize the voice of Christ.

However, all who are born again know His voice. He created us to be constantly in His Presence listening to His voice, and any time we aren’t connected directly to Him, we won’t find happiness. In His Presence, we find fullness of joy, and we can’t find it anywhere else. God’s leading will never conflict with Scripture, and it will flow with the fruit of the Spirit. You’ll sense steadfastness, authority, and the Presence of Christ when He speaks. If a message isn’t from God, you’ll sense a check, dread, or uneasiness.

As Fires Rage

As fires rage, the world proclaims that all is well,
As kingdoms fall, My Seed stands tall, and shall prevail.
Though smitten, they return to Me, and give their all,
This Army lives, each joint supplies, so that none shall fall.

And I’ve broken thee, that you might set others free,
And I’ve wounded thee, so My Life they can see.
But all that I have torn, I’ll heal and I’ll restore,
My glory, I’ll set on thee, a righteous Seed you will be.

Stop struggling to get faith and hear His voice

“But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (James 1:6-8)

HEARING

Once we finally stop struggling to get faith because we realize faith comes by hearing God’s voice, we start an unnecessary struggle to hear God’s voice. I’ve had different people tell me they never hear God’s voice. I suppose they expect the skies to open with flashes of lightning and God’s booming voice shaking the ground. God is speaking. We need to tune in to Him. Everyone hears God’s voice but few acknowledge Him. He’s the Light Who lights every person, even unbelievers. He shines Light on everyone. Not all acknowledge Him. God speaks through the Bible. He speaks through brothers and sisters in Christ. He can give a vision or dream. When you seek Him, God often speaks through a combination of a quiet inner voice, a feeling, your conscience, or your intuition. As you live your life in His Presence, you know what’s right or wrong. You know what to do. You give the next word of the prophecy as it comes to you. You turn from evil toward what’s right. Demonic voices and fallen minds say you can’t tell the difference between God’s voice and something else, but here’s what God says:

“And when He putteth forth His own sheep, He goeth before them, and the sheep follow Him: for they know His voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.” … “I am the Good Shepherd, and know My sheep, and am known of Mine.” … “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me”  (John 10:3-5, 14, & 27 KJV).

And I Saw Angels Picking Up The Tear Drops

So many times, I’ve asked, “Why Lord?”
So many times, I’ve cried out, “How long Lord?
How many times must my heart be torn all apart?”
Then He showed me a vision in the night time.
And I saw angels picking up the tear drops,
As they fell from the cheeks of the saints.
Yes, I saw angels, taking them to Jesus,
And there He put them in a bottle of remembrance.

So many tears have fallen, in secret.
So many tears have gone by, unnoticed.
But my Jesus is always mindful of all our sorrows,
He’ll pick up the broken pieces of your heart.
For I saw angels, picking up the teardrops,
As they fell from the cheeks of the saints.
Yes, I saw angels, taking them to Jesus,
And there He put them in a bottle of remembrance.

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (Hebrews 11:1)

Faith is substance. That means faith is reality. It’s not conceptual. It’s real. It’s solid. Whatever God told you to do is concrete, and the vision of hope that comes with faith is also concrete. And faith is also evidence. It’s absolutely certain proof of what God said even though you haven’t seen it yet. There’s no doubt in faith. Faith is unwavering and unmoved by anything that comes against it.

And I Know I’ll Never Be Alone

Lord, let me stand, now, in Your presence.
You’re Spirit flows; Your Health and Joy are surging;
Light and Life are streaming from Your Throne.
And now, Your Voice to me is pleasant;
Your healing touch; I know my life is changing,
And I know I’ll never be alone.

I will exalt and I will praise You.
Let me abide within Your tender mercy
Light and Life are present in Your Name.
Let everything in me be made new;
Break down the walls of self; The flesh that binds me,
And I know I’ll never be the same.

FAITH: “…you can not generate it; you can not work it up; you can not manufacture it. It is imparted and infused by God Himself. You can not sit in your homes and struggle to have faith, and affirm that something is; nor can you turn your hope and desire into faith by your own power. The only place you can get it is from the Lord,” Charles S. Price, The Real Faith

Dr. Price goes on to talk about “unscriptural mental and intellectual gyrations in our attempt to find a faith we do not possess.” Then He says this:

“Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by a Word of God. Let Jesus speak to this heart of mine and doubts will take the wings of the morning and fly away. Let Jesus breathe a little Word to this poor mind of mine … That is how faith comes! Not through the channels of human concepts. Not along the paths of human understandings. Not by the abilities of minds to comprehend, or the power of the intellect to affirm. … One little Word from Jesus is worth all the words in a dictionary of human language.” Charles S. Price, The Real Faith
