Episode 3: God and I

Updated: Aug 26

The Lord is your Husband or Wife (part 1)


Hello, PDF!


As we continue to navigate through Christ. I want to introduce to you all this concept:


‘The Lord is your Husband or Wife’.


In this episode, it is important that you refer to the teaching about Repentance.


Perceive yourself as the bride of Christ or the bridegroom of Christ.


Ask yourself this question.


What does marriage consist of?


Isaiah 54:5 “For your Maker is your husband—

the Lord Almighty is his name—

the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer”


You are the Lord's prodigal son or daughter.


What is a prodigal son or daughter?


A child who departs from their parents home to engage in activities their parents would disapprove of. The child then feels remorseful and comes back home.


The Holy Spirit and The Lord want you to understand, that Abba already knew who you were when he formed you in your mothers womb.


Give the Lord your heart.


Abba loves you and wants to know you on a deeper level. Unlock your heart to pure intimacy with the Lord your God. Accept the Lord as your husband first before anything.


PDF, it's essential for you all to learn that putting the Lord before anything is a primary key in the kingdom of God.


Your faith, is a currency.


Increase your faith and rest in Abba's word, you must be attentive to the fact that Abba is your husband and he will never leave you nor forsake you.


Begin, to grasp the context of marriage and accept your new covenant for eternity with the Lord who is your husband first.


The Lord is your first love.


It is fundamental that you investigate establishing a profound relationship with God. Abba wants you to have a close relationship with him. As a result of this, you come to think of him as your husband or wife as you forge that connection and oneness with the Lord your God.


Prayer is a way of developing an intimate relationship with God. You can also explore other methods of intimacy; depending on YOUR own personal preference and relationship with God.


Abba knows who you are but he wants YOU to interact with him.


Don't put your relationship with God in a box.


You can interact with God in person centred ways, for instance going for a walk and talking sincerely to God about your day.


Go before the Lords feet boldly as the blood of Jesus Christ permits you to do so.



Okay PDF, say a prayer inviting the presence of The Lord and The Holy Spirit.


Prayer to invite the presence of The Holy Spirit:


Heavenly Father, I thank you so much for your grace, love and mercy. I praise your name Lord as you are the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Lord please have mercy upon me for all my sins (ask God for forgiveness go into depth, ask the Lord to have mercy upon the sins of your forefathers and ancestors. Your mother's house and your fathers house). Lord please have mercy upon me for all my sins (be honest with The Lord about your own personal sin) .


2 Corinthians 12:9 He said to me, “My grace is enough for you, because power is made perfect in weakness.” So I’ll gladly spend my time bragging about my weaknesses so that Christ’s power can rest on me. (NIV)


Father, even as I read the content in Prophetic Diaries, may you open my ears, my spirit and my soul to receive this overflow of knowledge. In your words it says my people perish because of lack of knowledge.


Hosea 4:6 "my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge." (NIV)


Heavenly Father I invite the presence of The Holy Spirit to give me wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Holy Spirit have your way, nudge me in my spirit to take heed to the word.


Lord let your will be done over my life.


Lord, I love you and I want to know you more. Show me who you are and how I draw closer to you.


In Jesus Name,


Amen

Genesis 2 Adam and Eve


Let's now look into Genesis 2:21.

21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh.


Holy Spirit insight:


In order for the Lord to create Eve he had to put Adam into a deep sleep.


Your spirit was in a deep sleep and it now became awakened to the path of Christ. The Lord already knew you before he formed you in your mothers womb.


Abba already knew your identity in Christ.


Whilst your spirit was sleeping, you were in your flesh conformed to the patterns of this world before you were awakened in Christ.


The Lord had to wake you up and give you a new identity in Christ.


So now - change your perspective in Christ, old things have passed away, allow your spirit to become transfigured and engulfed in the glory of the Lord. The Lord can not do a new thing in an old body.


Jeremiah 1: 4 - 5

4 The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

before you were born I set you apart;

I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”


Mark 8: 34- 35

34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.


Holy Spirit insight:


You must deny yourself and live your life according to the will of God. Pick up your cross and walk with God. Navigating Through Christ is a priceless journey but not an easy one. Jesus Christ who is the High Priest gave his life as a living sacrifice. Take up the cross as Jesus Christ is our foundation. You must lose your life (life in your flesh) to be awakened to your new one, in the body of Christ.



Prayer points:


Lord I deny myself, Lord I pray that you separate me from the world. Lord please purify my heart. Abba, remove anything in my heart that was stuck onto me due to the patterns of this world. Lord, I want to be with you in the spirit, in your word it says we are one in the spirit. I deny myself Lord, I want to be saved by the gospel. Lord in your word it says with joy you will draw from the wells of salvation. I am thirsty for you Lord, I want my spirit to be filled with joy and fruits of your spirit.


Isaiah 12: 2 - 3

2 Surely God is my salvation;

I will trust and not be afraid.

The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense;

he has become my salvation.”

3 With joy you will draw water

from the wells of salvation.


Lord I renounce and denounce worldly desires in any shape, way or form. Lord, pour out your spirit onto me. Lord, I come into the agreement with the blood of the new covenant. Let the blood of Jesus Christ begin to speak over my life. Yeshua, let the blood of Jesus Christ remove my old filthy garment of this world and restore me with my new. Lord, let the gospel save my life. In your word it says Jesus Christ is our foundation, let your will be done. Lord, you are my salvation and my strength. I am nothing without you. Lord, awaken me to my true identity in Christ, an identity that glories your name as you are my husband. Lord, we are one in the spirit.


In Jesus Name,


Amen


Understanding the concept of a filthy garment:


  • Your clothing can be defiled due to the sins you’ve committed in this world. As a result of this it pollutes your clothing and how you’re dressed in the spiritual realm.


Isaiah 64:6

6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,

and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;

we all shrivel up like a leaf,

and like the wind our sins sweep us away.


  • You have a personal relationship with God not because of your own righteousness but by his grace that is sufficient.


Prayer points:


Lord any dry bones that are in my life due to my sin and disobedience let the blood of Jesus Christ begin to restore all aspects of my life in the name of Jesus. Like the way you told Eziekel (37: 1 - 14) to prophesy over the dry bones, Holy Spirit may you pray for me. Jesus Christ may you prophesy over my life. Lord may you restore all the dry bones and areas over my life due to sin. Lord may you change my filthy garment and renew my mind. Lord any dry bones in my heart due to things of the past, heavenly Father may you restore life in my heart. I prophesy over my life today, that I will draw from the wells of salvation.


In Jesus Name,


Amen



Understanding the blood of the new covenant:


Matthew 26:28

28 This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.


  • It is important to come into agreement with the blood of the new covenant. This is the blood of Jesus Christ. The blood that speaks life over your life.

  • It is essential to ensure that you depart from sin as sin has consequences.


Mark 9:1

And he said to them, “Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”


Holy Spirit insight:


The Kingdom of God has came with power. Power that can set you free, power that can defeat all of your enemies.


Seek the Kingdom of God first.


Allow the Lord to show you his power in your life. Let the Lords power change your perspective on who he is and open your mind to new things as the former things have passed away.


Matthew 6:33

33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (NIV)


Prayer Point:


Lord I pray that I do not taste death before I see the power from your Kingdom. Lord I pray that you use your power to refine and develop my spirit in Jesus name. Lord you provided mana for the Israelites, when they had nothing to eat. Abba, my spirit is hungry for the Kingdom of God. Lord please don't allow me to grow hungry or weary. In your word it says you'll never leave me or forsake me. Lord I am hungry for the keys to your Kingdom. Let you will be done.


In Jesus Name,


Amen



Go deeper:


  • What worldly desires do you have?

  • Tell God why you are willing to give your life to him as a living sacrifice.

  • Tell the Lord how you accept him as your Husband and you’re in agreement with the blood of the new covenant.

  • What Kingdom keys are you searching for?



Questions to ask yourself and list in your diary:


  • Do you perceive yourself as strong?

  • Have you accepted that the Lord is your strength and defense?

  • Research more into the concept of a filthy garment

  • Tell the Lord sins you want to flee from and ask for his help to do so.

  • Tell the Lord why you want to inherit his Kingdom.


Key importance from this insight:


  • Run the great race of faith! We must understand as children of God that walking with the Lord is a lifelong process. Deliverance is also a lifelong process. We also must be open to our identity in Christ constantly changing as our relationship with God develops. God has many dimensions, don’t limit the height and measures he can take you to. Open your heart to constantly receiving an overflow of love from God. The Lord is your husband or wife.
