Okay here it goes 10 Lessons I've Learned While On My Spiritual Journey:
1. Trusting in Abba Yahuah
This is extremely hard because trusting in Father means you really can't trust yourself. Father is in the spirit and we can not see Him with our physical eyes and therefore it makes all that much more difference and is important to build a strong relationship so you can be guided by the spirit.
2. Having Proper Discernment
When your relationship with Father is strong you will be able to discern properly on what to do and where to go next.
Discernment in the spirit doesn't always make sense in the physical and to me it's more of a deep KNOWING and feeling of the direction towards. Like when you have a gut feeling something is going to happen and you don't listen and then it happens. It's like that you knew something was going to happen and it did.
3. Everything Happens For a Reason
On this journey it's apparent that everything that has happened had a reason for it. Whether it's for you to gain a different perspective, experience or lesson from it it's important to remember to take both the good things and bad.
4. Father's Timing is Perfect
Now that we understand that everything happens for a reason it's vitally important to also remember that Father's timing is perfect. The lessons you may need to learn before something else can happen or it's a matter of waiting because something else by someone else has to take place first.
I think this is how we are all connected to each other. It's like when you are heading into work and you get delayed because of an accident and you arrive late to work but it's okay because it worked out in your favor. Certain events aligned at the right moment so everything can work out.
5. Staying in Prayer Consistently
This has been hard for me at times especially when I pray and I feel like I'm not being heard.
However that's far from the truth. How you pray really does matter. For me personally I had to go through different phases to understand what it means to pray and how to pray. It's not about a written script to repeat or a list of demands or even just complaining which is where I started out. I found myself praying only when it was convient to me because things were not working out the way I wanted them to. Although it started me out on a journey of understanding how to properly develop a relationship with Abba Yahuah.
He already knows what we are going to ask for and while this is true it matters where your heart is when you pray.
Are you humbly asking in prayer or are you mad and want to see a change in your situation? Regardless what I've learned is to take note of how Yahushua would pray. It was often times on His own away from others in nature. It does say to find a place to pray in your home that you consider your prayer closet and do it in secret between you and Father.
What's important to remember is that it can feel frustrating at times when you feel you really need something and you've prayed about but it wasn't answered and the longer and more often you go through that the more you will feel what's the point of prayer if it's not going to be answered or if Father knows what I'm going to ask for then I might as well stop praying about it.
I have felt these things myself more often than I care to admit and as often recent I have begun to remind myself when I feel these ways that
THE ENEMY IS A LIER, DECEIVER AND MANIPULATOR
This is important to remember because he wants you to STOP praying because he knows how POWERFUL YOUR PRAYERS CAN BE...
It will take you in a different direction away from Father if you stop praying. Your relationship with Father and discernment will suffer because eventually you will STOP relying on Father and trust in Him.
Thankfully it NEVER got to this point but I have had those feelings I described above about prayer.
6. Making Time for Abba Yahuah Daily
This goes along with your time of prayer. Sometimes it's just spending time in nature meditating on it's beauty and simplicity. It's important to be in the word as well. I have reasons as to why I feel the way I do about the Bible however reading scripture and meditating on verses will help you gain better understanding of the verses and how they can apply to your life.
I personally believe and I've said this many times that the Bible was manipulated and so it was allowed to happen to test Father's people as in the days Yahushua spoke in parables so only certain people understood. The Bible is filled with small details that are over looked that the enemy has changed. However the stories within the Bible I believe are true along with the promises. It's things like the names of regions and people that I believe were altered but allowed to test us.
7. Trust in Man will prove to be a snare ðŠĪ
I have come to the realization on this spiritual journey that people are not what they seem. They can be kind with their words but some people carry manipulation behind their words and it's not always recognizable at first. Their spirit may have a different intention than what is preseved.
When someone offers you something take note of their fruit because from my experience sometimes people give funds for example to get answers to their questions. Or they can give you items like clothing and think they now have a "right" to do whatever they want to you.
Of course this is Legal Spiritual Rights it's very different from the Physical Legal Rights. There are Many demonic spirits roaming around inhabiting people because they open themselves to them by doing things scripture tells us not to. This is everything from what you listen to, watch, smoking and drinking opens doors as well. The Holy Spirit needs a Holy place to dwell in.
Anything that harms your spirit and produces darkness is an open invitation for demonic spirits to inhabit you without you realizing it. So with that said there are also spiritual attachments you can get from certain people with negative spirits. This is why Yahushua says you shall know them by their fruit.
If you accept anything from a negative spirit they have legal Spiritual rights to attack you...
So always judge the spirit not the person. Like I've said before the
ENEMY IS A MANIPULATOR, LIER AND DECEIVER
Don't think for a moment that he won't use his minions to do his dirty work.
If you take away the enemy's power they have no legal Spiritual rights against you. This is why Father says vengeance belongs to Him alone. Use your freewill to go against a person and that opens more legal rights now both spiritual and physical against you.
8. Taking a Leap Of Faith
Honestly this entire spiritual journey is a leap of Faith because I'm putting my trust in Abba Yahuah to provide for me and my family. He hasn't stopped since day one of becoming homeless. It was a conscious decision to leave everything behind and be focused on our spiritual journey. Let me just say it's not at all easy infact it's really hard. But like the disciples who walked with Yahushua they took left everything behind.
I believe that taking a leap of faith also has partly to do with proper discernment and recognize fruit of people. I have had apartments offered for free but the fruit of the person who made the offer felt Off and I trusted my discernment to reject the offer. For the record NOTHING IS FREE IN THIS LIFE... There is always something you have to do in return a sacrifice you could say.
Even on this spiritual journey we are to sacrifice what we want and follow the Will of Abba Yahuah ð for us. His Will be done.
The stronger your relationship is the better you will be able to discern and when it's time to take that leap of Faith you'll know in your heart that you are in good hands.
9. Being Born Again
For the longest time previous to my walk I didn't understand what it means to be born again. To be born again in my opinion is to be born in the spirit. Where the spiritual realm is different from the physical realm and doesn't make sense to us in the physical realm because you can't touch, or see the spiritual realm per say. If you make that conscious decision to walk in the spirit it's vitally important to practice what is preached in scripture that is Yahushua was our example of how we ought to walk in the spirit.
We deny the flesh to be closer to Father in the spirit.
10. Be slow to speak so that the Holy Spirit guide your words
So basically this means taking a minute to really think before you speak and if you have nothing to say then don't say anything.
I know I've fallen in to the trap of speaking just to say something and it wasn't even worth saying either. Somethings are better left unsaid and better to wait on the wisdom of the Holy Spirit before speaking.
I think of Yahushua when He stood in front of the Sanhedrin to be judged and He could have responded several times but chose to stay silent. When He spoke it was to the point and simple.
A talkative person like me finds it hard to do at times. When you take that moment you realize quickly what words produce fruit and what doesn't as well as the conversation if it's secular and of the world or is it a conversation about the Kingdom of heaven. Personally I no longer like small talk and prefer deep conversations. There are so much things out there that we can't lean on our own understanding and yet we still know nothing really about anything.
A simple question can lead you to worldly responses that have and carry no value in the Kingdom Of Heaven.
When we talk about scripture for example to me that concerns the Kingdom Of Heaven vs talking about sports or the latest movie or trends which is of the world.
I've come to the understanding that everything has been a lie and is fake. They carry no value produce no fruit when talking about sports ect.
Well these are the first 10 lessons out of 30 that I've Learned While On My Spiritual Journey. If you have questions please let me know in the comments. I'm always learning growing spiritually so these lessons I'm sharing may evolve in terms of understanding moving forward.
Much Love
I pray you all have a blessed day ahead
In Yahushua's
