Step One - Powerless and Unmanageable Pt. 4
Powerless and Unmanageable
I thought to progress into Step Two after giving it some depth of thought. Yesterday I had an experience that insists I surrender to the power of God. A very subtle, almost nonchalant spirit of seduction was present in a situation. I was certain this spirit was not directed toward me, but was present for sure. In fact, it seemed to lack any deliberate direction or intended purpose, almost as if it were uncertain, or that its host was inquisitive and uncertain.
Immediately upon detecting the spirit, I began to sow seed of the Word into the situation. I provided scripture, insight and healthy, sound advice. I specifically exposed an otherwise covert intention of sorts. I do believe this spirit has/had intentions to appeal its host to the flesh; to indulge the host in forbidden contact. I know the Word completes what is intended, and never returns voided of purpose and effectiveness. I know the Word did diffuse a potentially disastrous situation. Results that lack abundance of life is completely certain not of God. Any effort that does not project positive outcome is not of God.
I sensed this thing in that situation and even played out scenarios in my mind about the many possible outcomes. Only one scenario aligned with the Word. I needed to speak the Word and I did just that. That seduction did make a subtle, yet deliberate adjustment. I needed to eliminate that direction, if that's where it was headed. I needed to check my spiritual armor. Even though I did feel the effects of the seduction, I still heard the Words of Truth come from my voice. I felt pleased that would flow, to remind me what is most abundant in my heart. I pray the Lord will form a hedge of protection around all persons involved, directly or indirectly.
I see light burning away a cloud. The cloud drops rain that is unnoticeable by the time it reaches the flesh. The cloud is dark, yet it blends with the other colors in the sky... almost a camouflage cloud. This cloud rains down on someone, to entice this person without the person knowing about it. It can be detected in the spirit as something unfamiliar being amiss. It feels a lot like dread, but can go completely unnoticed if the person is distracted enough. When this person does detect the cloud, it is still uncertain what it is, or from where it comes.
I see this cloud, and I see the sunlight burning it out. Somehow this cloud is collecting condensation from the person, to remain in form above him, dropping this rain. This vision ends here, without a conclusion. I see the cloud being burned and I see the cloud collecting condensation from the person. The person does not have an umbrella because he don't know he is being rained on. The rain soaks into the skin and influences the persons' behaviors and intentions. This person has the love of God laminating from him. That luminance burns some of the rain. Steam rises and collects into the cloud. The light burns some of that. The cloud neither grows nor shrinks.
I think I see a message in this vision. I believe it is pretty clear what it means. I feel strongly that I should not include my interpretation to this. I cannot lean upon my own understanding. Instead I acknowledge the Lord and follow His lead. I speak the blood of Jesus in the situation, and I speak the blood of Jesus in MY life... in Jesus' name.
