Do You Hear What I Hear?
Do you hear what I hear? Listen to the sounds of the spirit realm. The thunder as it claps. Yes, a storm is brewing. A storm is coming. A spiritual storm. There is shelter for those who have been obedient. Those that are and have been in His will. Take shelter for it is upon us. There is still more to come, more deaths , more exposure, more sickness, and more famine. For them, there is no hiding place…not a crack nor a crevice that can hide you from The judgement of The Lord God Almighty!
Hush…shhhh. Listen to His sweet still voice. It is low. Your discernment will hear it ; your discernment will hear Him saying “this is the way walk ye in it“ Yet again,
Hebrews 12:25-27
Hear the Heavenly Voice
25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,
26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.”
27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
In the Book of 1 Kings 22 there is the story of one of my favorite prophets - his name is Micaiah. Not to be confused with Micah the prophet. Micaiah was a TRUE prophet, speaking only that which The Lord showed him or spoke to him. And for that reason he was disliked. Particularly by the King of Israel at the time, Ahab.
King Ahab sought the assistance of the King of Judah, Jehoshaphat to go up against the King of Syria and Jehoshaphat agreed with one stipulation, that being that they inquire of the prophets about whether or not to go into this battle.
Note, in the biblical days it was common practice for kings to consult prophets of The Lord as to whether or not to go into battle.
If only today’s leaders would do that, instead of outlawing The Living God from being in our affairs!
And this time was no different, so the two kings sat on thrones before the prophets and all 400 of them said “go up and fight”. Jehoshaphat said is there not any more prophets that we can inquire of? Ahab said there is one more prophet that isn’t here and we need to inquire of him. That prophet is Micaiah. Than Ahab said , “ I hate him because he does not prophecy good concerning me, but evil.”
As the story went on prophet Micaiah:
1 Kings 22:9-28
9 Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, “Bring Micaiah the son of Imlah quickly!”
10 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne, at a threshing floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
11 Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made horns of iron for himself; and he said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘With these you shall gore the Syrians until they are destroyed.’ ”
12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the king’s hand.”
13 Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Now listen, the words of the prophets with one accord encourage the king. Please, let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak encouragement.”
14 And Micaiah said, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord says to me, that I will speak.”
15 Then he came to the king; and the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall we refrain?”
And he answered him, “Go and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king!”
16 So the king said to him, “How many times shall I make you swear that you tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?”
17 Then he said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said, ‘These have no master. Let each return to his house in peace.’ ”
18 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
19 Then Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by, on His right hand and on His left.
20 And the Lord said, ‘Who will persuade Ahab to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner.
21 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will persuade him.’
22 The Lord said to him, ‘In what way?’ So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, ‘You shall persuade him, and also prevail. Go out and do so.’
23 Therefore look! The Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and the Lord has declared disaster against you.”
24 Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the spirit from the Lord go from me to speak to you?”
25 And Micaiah said, “Indeed, you shall see on that day when you go into an inner chamber to hide!”
26 So the king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son;
27 and say, ‘Thus says the king: “Put this fellow in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction, until I come in peace.” ’ ”
28 But Micaiah said, “If you ever return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me.” And he said, “Take heed, all you people!”
The story continues in the next chapter with Ahab being killed in battle even though he went to battle incognito, meaning he was disguised and as his destiny would have it, after the battle a certain man shot a random arrow and the arrow landed between the joints of Ahab’s armour! And of course Ahab died and as was prophesied in chapter 21, the dogs did lick up his blood in the city.
Whether you like the Word of His TRUE prophet or not take heed as if your very life depends on it, because it does!
Beloved, do not continue in your way as business as usual, yet for a little while this shaking will take place, come out from among them if you are one to escape, and serve The Lord with gladness!!!
