Seek God while He may be found. Go ahead and pray and build prayer support before you are in trauma or the heat of it. This is wise. Seek God when it’s easier to find Him. Not that He goes anywhere in our traumas, but we do. Pray and seek beforehand. This is just spiritually smart. Build prayer support around projects that you know will need them, which is most projects or things we “do”.

Seek God while He may be found. Then trust, that if you don’t lean on your own understanding, but rather trust Him and His Ways, that He will protect and reveal to you what you actually need to know.

I often worry more about getting my choreography or direction right than I do just trusting Him, that if I lean into His Understanding, He will direct my path. He has promised to guide us and is able! Able to communicate to us our steps etc. We are responsible for the trust, and seeking and climbing the mountain of intimacy to be near Him. I confess being more focused on getting it right, than in trusting Him. I think many of us do this.

In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will and is able to direct your path!!!

True intimacy with God, always precedes revelation from God. We go to the garden, we go up the mountain, we draw near to hear! From that place we encounter His Ways, His Why’s, so that that particular directive becomes part of our formation and discipleship in Him.

Our “getting words” should be part of our true spirituality or relationship with God. That is a priori or is the priority—getting closer to God; what messages we get from God then become clearer in the light of who He actually is (His Ways are revealed, so that His Works He is asking us to do, make sense and are part of getting to know Him.) Ask why when He tells you things to do. And then trace that back into who He is and His Ways.

His Ways are higher in Him than His Works, but they are attached or integrated! It’s wisdom to seek His Ways!

Some of us are given visions and words often while with Him, but we have to remember that Moses, Samuel and all the other prophets were up the mountain with Him firstly. Intimacy is higher than good works. Our intimacy creates the atmosphere where we can truly hear from God and be transformed by Him as we listen well.

Then we get to know Him, by delivering what we have received. That is the art of the prophetic. Learning to deliver the message in His Ways! In His Tone of Love—what I call prophetic orientation. Over half the knowledge is revealed by giving it in His Way!
