Boy, the messages were all just for me. They were spot on.
Yesterday, the big deals were:
1) Favor of God and speaking life
2) Honoring the Holy Spirit as He rests on people
God has been speaking to me about both of these.
Favor: Proverbs 16:15, Numbers 6, Ezekiel 39:29, Psalm 67 and Hosea 6
Honor: John 6, Luke 4:16-27, Mathew 13:57, Mark 6:4, Matt 10:41
When you receive a prophet…you get his grace.
A prophet is not without honor except in his own home. But, you must honor the anointing on a person because it is the Holy Spirit who rests on him. It is actually the Holy Spirit that you fail to receive.
So, repent.
Honor them. Have the eyes to see the Holy Spirit on them and accept or receive that. Honor them in that.
That is the key to the miracles happening. See Luke 4:25-27 where Jesus talks about receiving Elijah and Elisha in two separate instances. Their miracles left that town and went to unbelievers. God will take His stuff elsewhere if you dont honor the Holy Spirit where He is.
Jesus’ Public Ministry
14And Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about Him spread through all the surrounding district.
15And He began teaching in their synagogues and was praised by all.
16And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.
17And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written,
18“THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME,
BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR.
HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES,
AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND,
TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED,
19TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.”
20And He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
21And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
22And all were speaking well of Him, and wondering at the gracious words which were falling from His lips; and they were saying, “Is this not Joseph’s son?”
23And He said to them, “No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard was done at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.'”
24And He said, “Truly I say to you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown.
25“But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land;
26and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
27“And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.”
