PARTNERING WITH TRUTH

 

What you partner with you also give a measure of influence and authority to.  Contracts, agreements and partnerships have a “voice” or sphere of influence over you.  The honor, measure and fulfillment of those partnerships, agreements or promises is only as good as the potential fulfillment of those promises, partnerships, agreements and truths including those whom you partner with.  Sadly many people partner with lies that have been disguised as truths and are in bondage because of those lies.  Have we reduced the holiness, righteousness and purity of the Lord to merely equality of our sinful nature?  Are we not “thirsting for righteousness”?

 

Matthew 5:6 (AMP)

6 Blessed and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous (in that state in which the born-again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), for they shall be completely satisfied! [Isa. 55:1, 2.]

 

The other day I received a message from a woman whom I had met in a coffee shop during my travels whom the Lord had me pray for in a public coffee shop.  She was in immense pain and had struggled for years with extensive pain.  Thanks to the Lord Jesus as the Lord healed this woman and delivered her from a life of pain and physically healed her.  

 

 The woman asked me to pray for her husband who was not with her as he was home in Massachusetts and battling cancer and undergoing chemotherapy.  I told her I would intercede for her husband and gave the woman my contact information and told her I would be traveling to Connecticut for a few days.  

 

That evening I was in Connecticut and was praying and interceding for many people. I began to pray and intercede for her husband.  I prayed that the Lord would open the door for more salvations in her family as I felt in my spirit that the Lord wanted to reach her family.  The next morning the woman called me and invited me to meet her family.  I went and visited that afternoon and ministered to her husband and children and several salvations came forth as they gave their hearts to Christ Jesus.  I prayed for her husband’s cancer and he gave his life to the Lord also.

 

That evening as I was praying the Lord spoke to me in my spirit and told me that her husband was going to bleed and I could see in the spirit bright red colored blood.  The Lord told me that her husband was not to react in fear or panic and that he needed to seek routine medical care and that everything would be ok. 

 

The next morning I received a text message from the woman telling me that her husband was in immense pain and could barely stand.  He was battling severe back pain and shortness of breath.  She said that she believed that victory was imminent and that the enemy was mad because the Lord was working on behalf of her family.  I called her on the telephone and I informed her that I had a Word from the Lord during interceding for her husband that prior evening while in prayer.  I told her to listen to the whole message before reaching a decision and to share it with her husband.  

 

I told her about the vision and Word from the Lord that her husband would bleed and not to panic or react in fear but to receive routine medical care and not to delay getting to his doctor.  

 

Later that afternoon I received a telephone call telling me that her husband was at the doctors and they were in the process of testing him for a blood clot.  Indeed a blood clot was traveling through his heart and lungs.  When the doctor told them about the blood clot they stood on the Word of the Lord and did not react in fear or panic as they trusted the Lord.  The blood clot passed through his heart and lungs and did not cause any damage!  Praise the Lord.  They partnered with the Word of the Lord.

 

A couple of days ago I received a message from her asking me if I was wiling to be present with her family as the doctor told her that her husband had only18-24 months to live.  She said she believed her husband was going to beat cancer but wanted to ask if I would be present prior and during this time of this difficulty.  I messaged her and told her I would be honored to be there unto the Lord and in brotherly love and that I was continuing to pray and stand on her husbands healing.

 

I went into prayer and the Lord gave me a word for her husband.  The Lord said what you partner with you give influence and authority over you.  The Lord told me to remind her husband that he chose to stand on the Word of the Lord during his blood clot and that her husband needed to stand on the promises of the Lord and not the diagnosis of cancer.  We must speak and empower life not words or agreements of death or bondage.

 

I reflected on the Book of Daniel where Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego proclaimed their faith and trust in the Lord and stated that even if their Lord didn’t deliver them they believed in their Lord.  Praise the Lord!  Every knee will bow and tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord, even your circumstances must bow to the Lord when you proclaim the Living Word in truth.  

 

Daniel 3:12–18 (AMP)

12 There are certain Jews whom you have appointed and set over the affairs of the province of Babylon—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, pay no attention to you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up. 

13 Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; and these men were brought before the king. 

14 [Then] Nebuchadnezzar said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image which I have set up? 

15 Now if you are ready when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, dulcimer or bagpipe, and every kind of music to fall down and worship the image which I have made, very good. But if you do not worship, you shall be cast at once into the midst of a burning fiery furnace, and who is that god who can deliver you out of my hands? 

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, it is not necessary for us to answer you on this point. 

17 If our God Whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, He will deliver us out of your hand, O king. 

18 But if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up! [Job 13:15; Acts 4:19, 20.]

 

I called her and shared the word of the Lord and she shared it with her husband who was ill and resting.  The next morning I messaged her and told her that I was praying for them.  She messaged me and told me that she gave her husband the Word from the Lord and her husband was doing much better and in fact was able to go to work that day.

 

We must remember that the promises of the Lord Jesus never fail and that we need to partner and hunger for the righteousness and promises of God by being obedient and willing vessels to the Lord Jesus.  We must stand on the full counsel of God’s Word in Spirit and Truth.   Heaven and earth may pass but the Word of the Lord is everlasting.  The Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever.   While both people and our circumstances change the Lord’s promises and truths will not change.  We must partner with the Lord standing and enforcing His victory proclaiming His Word of truth even when worldly influences seem contrary to the will of God.  We must first seek the Kingdom of God.

 

Matthew 6:33 (AMP)

But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.

 

 

^{Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.  (Matthew 24:35 KJV)}

 

  Partnering with emotions, feelings and lies only deepens and fortifies the strongholds that come against us.  We must cast down all thoughts and imaginations which exalt themselves against the knowledge of God and the finished work of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

 

2 Corinthians 10:3–5 (AMP)

3 For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons. 

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, 

5 [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),

 

Father I pray that you will fortify within us a passion for your righteousness and that everything that can be exposed will be exposed bringing revelations of your truth and divine will in our lives.  Father thank you for your beloved Son, our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.  Lord thank you for the atonement and resurrection of the cross.  Lord help us to stand in your Word and Truth.  Lord we thank you for the power of your blood, mercy and grace.  In Jesus name we pray.  Amen.
