Stages of Faith
Today the Lord began talking to me about where He wants His people to go in their walk of faith. For those struggling with hearing God, they have just begun the journey. However, don't lose heart. It is a journey worth taking. Helen


God’s people need to learn how to hear His voice to learn about Him.

They need to learn about Him to know How He speaks and Who His is.

After establishing that God’s thoughts are not our thoughts, God’s people need to grasp the purpose behind what He speaks.

After determining the purpose, they need to obey or “do” His word.

Then comes the real warfare

When in warfare, the obedient person now has to stand on the invisible; God’s word. Will he protect the word in the good soil of his heart, yielding a harvest, or will he let satan steal God’s words.

When the person has stood on God’s word and waged the “good fight of faith” he will enter into victory. He has thwarted satan and will bring a harvest of righteousness from his life, if he endures.

After victory, the man will enter into a place of choice; he can (1 go on to further battles and greater authority in life, and greater responsibilities, or he can (2 say “I never want to go through that again and put it all behind him. The first man will become one who continues to grow in righteousness, overcoming, and can lead others in their faith. The second man will not see the value in the righteousness and faith won in his battle, and will draw increasingly more comforts from this life, having regretted the cost of the battle. He will lead others into the flesh and the world, making them weaker instead of stronger. While the first man becomes My friend, the second eventually becomes My enemy.

You will see churches led by men who seek to make people feel comfortable in their flesh. They are setting these men up for their ultimate defeat. None of them will bear the image of My Son, Jesus. Jesus thought the battle was worth it. He welcomed the authority over His enemy because He knew how to use it. All men who value righteousness and endure through the battle to victory will know how to use authority also. Let no man give another man authority, for I alone know whom I trust, and who is My friend. And I will reveal it to those who love Me, who know Me as I am.
