"Becoming Spiritually Perceptive and Becoming a Prophetic Trumpet"

Wade E. Taylor, formerly Nanjemoy, MD

The Elijah List

It Starts with Hearing and Responding

After this, I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in Heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, "Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter."Revelation 4:1

"After this, I looked." The result of John's response to the manifestation of the presence of the Lord was an opening into the realm of the Spirit – a"voice...as it were of a trumpet talking with me."This "voice as a trumpet" is a call to action, and speaks of spiritual direction and authority. Notice that the door opened when John looked.(Photo via Pixabay)

For those who are responding as John responded, there is an empowering that has to do with "dominion" that is being imparted at this present time. When this verse was quickened to me, I began asking the Lord to "show me things which must be hereafter." This prayer is being answered.

The Lord is knocking. Our part is to hear and respond. I often pray concerning my ability to "hear" spiritually. I am never satisfied that I am hearing clearly enough, as no matter how well I am hearing, I can hear better.

The Lord is Calling Us to Become an Apostolic, Prophetic People

This "voice as a trumpet" is a corporate voice that will function in all those who will be saying and doing the same thing. Notice that the promise to the overcomer is to sit with the Lord in His throne. This has to do with spiritual authority.

To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His throne. Revelation 3:21

This dominion, as the "sound of many waters," is an end time function of those who are "overcomers," who will receive apostolic authority. This relates to our being able to speak a creative word, which will have "authority with consequence." (Photo by Donna Smallenberg "The Secret Place" via elijahshopper.com)

At this present time, the Lord is calling us to become an apostolic, prophetic people – not apostles or prophets, as that is a ministry office. This is a Kingdom impartation into those who, as overcomers, have been dealt with so that they will not use this authority for any personal gain, to accomplish the end-time purposes of the Lord.

This will begin to happen as the Lord increasingly takes His place as the Head of those to whom He is being joined: those who are hearing and responding to His knocking. These are being "caught up" into a higher realm of spiritual life and authority.

Making Yourself Ready

Concerning Moses, Acts tells us that he was "mighty in words and in deeds."But after being in the wilderness, where he came to the end of all human ability, his response was, "Lord, when I spoke my mind, it got me in a lot of trouble; now I have nothing to say, unless You speak."

So also, those whom the Lord is preparing are being "scourged" that all human ambition might be removed.

For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth. Hebrews 12:6

If we yield to this process and overcome, we will become a part of this end-time prophetic voice, "His wife hath made herself ready" (Revelation 19:7). The Lord is preparing a people for "that day." 

(Photo by Donna Smallenberg "Arise, Shine" via elijahshopper.com)

As we wait upon the Lord, asking that we will better hear His voice, and have the enabling grace to rightly respond, we will become a part of this prophetic trumpet, and begin to move in corporate harmony, as the "sound of many waters."

It is imperative that we spend time, waiting in the presence of the Lord, that we can become a part of the Body that will function directly under the dictate of the Head.

...Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. Matthew 25:23

The Lord is getting a people ready. May each one of us be found among these, in that day.

"Going Beyond Our Present Experience" - Wade Taylor

"Going Beyond Our Present Experience"

Wade E. Taylor, formerly Nanjemoy, MD

The Elijah List

Those who have experienced Jesus as being their personal "Savior" openly acknowledge that He shed His Blood upon Calvary's Cross in atonement for their sin, and in some measure, they live a committed Christian life. The name "Jesus" has become precious to them.

Among these are many who also know Jesus as "Christ." The word "Christ" speaks primarily of the anointing, especially the "One who is anointed (Jesus)," and in a lesser sense, of our being "anointed" as a member of His Body. These have received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and have developed a sensitivity to His presence. In some measure, they are being used in Holy Spirit gift ministries.

There are fewer, however, who also know Jesus as being their personal "Lord." These have crucified their self-life by giving up the right to do as they please, and have unconditionally submitted themselves to the governmental rule of His Kingdom. To know Jesus in this way is to personally experience Him in the fullness of His Name, in which He has become, with meaning, "The Lord Jesus Christ." Each aspect of His Name has become a personal reality within their spiritual life experience.

There is More! Our Redemption and Inheritance

Heaven is not intended to be the "goal" of our Christian experience. Rather, it is included in our redemption as being our inheritance.

For we know that, if our earthly house of this tabernacle be destroyed, we have a building from God, a house made without hands, eternal, in the heavens. II Corinthians 5:1 Peoples NT

There is more that we can experience, which is beyond our being saved, healed, and filled with the Holy Spirit. This has to do with our having an active, personal relationship with Jesus, and as an overcomer, being among those who will be called to the marriage supper of the Lamb.

...Blessed are they which are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb... Revelation 19:9

This "more" is something of great value that can be added to all that has been freely provided for us, but requires an action on our part. Having a salvation experience is essential for us to enter Heaven (you must be born again). However, our submission to His Kingdom rule is conditional, in which Jesus becomes "Lord" of our spiritual life experience.

And He said to them all, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. Luke 9:23

Since our ways are contrary to, and "cross" His will for us, we must die to our own ways, if we are to fully follow Jesus. We ourselves must take up this cross. We do this by dying to our "self-life" upon a cross which Jesus will form for us (He was a carpenter).

This "if" tells us that there is a choice that we are free to either make or avoid, without affecting the fact of our salvation. However, it will greatly affect what we have "become" (our position and function) throughout all eternity. If we choose to make Jesus our Lord, we must totally submit ourselves unconditionally, body, soul, and spirit, to He who totally gave Himself for us.

To do this, we are to take the totality of our being – all that we are and have – including the "gift" benefits that were freely provided for us through His atonement, and give all this to Jesus. In dying to our own ways and choosing His way for us, we are taking up our cross and making Jesus the personal "Lord" of our lives.

To experience "salvation" means that I have repented and have been cleansed by the Blood of Jesus. 

I have received Him as my Savior and being saved, can testify, "I have Jesus." To experience the "Kingdom" means that I have taken all that Jesus has freely given to me, plus the right to my own life, and have given all this unconditionally to Him. Now, "Jesus has me" and I can relate to the Lord experientially as being my "Lord Jesus Christ."

As I merge my life into His life, I become one with Him in the outworking of His purposes, both in the here and now, and also, in eternity. Once I have done this, I will gradually come to know that I am far ahead of where I would have been, if I had tried to make my own way through life apart from the Lord. The requirement for entering His Kingdom is not beyond the ability of any one of us.

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 5:3

Being "poor in spirit" means that I have set aside all of my own ways, and have unconditionally submitted myself to the Kingdom – the governmental rule of my life experience. 

Now, whatever He may choose to do with me, will produce that which is of far greater value than anything that I could ever attain to, apart from Him.

Make Him Lord of Your Life

To specifically make Jesus the Lord of your life, you must:

First, find a quiet place in which to be alone with Jesus.

Then, "wait upon the Lord" until you become inwardly quiet before Him. While maintaining an attitude of worship, thank the Lord for His presence and tell Him that you deeply appreciate His desire to commune and fellowship with you.

Now, you are ready to vocally, explicitly, relinquish the "right" to your own life, and to all that pertains to it, and unconditionally turn it over to Jesus. As you do this, you are giving to the Lord full permission, and the total right to govern the totality of your being – all that you are and all that you have, as He chooses. In very direct words, say to Him:

"Jesus, I totally give up the right to my life and I pronounce You the 'Lord Jesus Christ' of all that I am, and have." And also, "Lord, I give You permission to bring me into the fullness of this commitment, whatever it may cost, or wherever it may lead."

From this moment onward, I unconditionally belong to Jesus, and He can bring me into the fullness of all the potential that He has seen to be within me.

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do... I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14

Because I have given Jesus the right to accomplish this, He has personally become to me, "The Lord Jesus Christ" and I will receive the "prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

His Lord said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things: enter you into the joy of your Lord." Matthew 25:23

The Elijah List - Wade E. Taylor: Understanding the Will of God - Stand in the Presence

Wade E. Taylor:

Understanding the Will of God 

- Stand in the Presence

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.Romans 8:28

This does not say that all things are good, but that even terrible things (all things – without qualification) can work together to produce "good." This good (God) is not these "things" in themselves, but rather, that the "image" of our Lord Jesus Christ is being wrought into our being, and these "all things" have become a tool to accomplish this.

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:13

We are to grow into the "measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." We begin our spiritual journey as a "spiritual baby" at the time of our salvation, and then grow toward spiritual maturity. On the Cross, Jesus said, "It is finished." He lived a perfect life and fully accomplished the will of His Father. Thus, Jesus came to full spiritual maturity

.

We also are to grow into this level of maturity in which our life "measures" up to His life. At the Judgment Seat of Christ, our life will be measured against His life. To prepare us for this, the Lord works within the daily circumstances of our life experience. Our part is to submit ourselves unconditionally to allow Him to do this, and then cooperate with Him in whatever He may do.

God has made us what we are, creating us in Christ Jesus for the good deeds which are prepared beforehand by God as our sphere of action. Ephesians 2:10 Moffatt Bible

The will of the Lord for us then is not "where" we are to be, or "what" we are to do, but rather, that we will live and function in the place where there is a set of circumstances that will best enable the Lord to accomplish His purpose within us (our being conformed to His image through our yielding to the outworking of His will and purpose for us).

If we rightly understand this, then it can be said that it is possible for us to be "in" the will of God, while seemingly, being "out" of the will of God. This can only happen if our heart is unconditionally set toward the Lord. 

Then the Lord is released to use these "all things," whatever they may be, to bring us into spiritual maturity, and also, to prepare us to be brought into the place where He can accomplish a higher purpose through us. But, first we have to be "made ready."

Made Ready

This principle can be seen in the life of Moses.

Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian... Exodus 3:1

Moses knew that he was called to deliver his people, Israel, but in an attempt to fulfill this calling, He failed and fled.

And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel. And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian: For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not... Then fled Moses at this saying... Acts 7:22-25, 29

As a result of being rejected, Moses is "ministering" in the wrong place to the wrong people – Jethro's sheep. Today, there are those who are in a similar situation, feeling that although they have missed the best, they are doing the best they are able to do; or there are some who have listened to the enemy telling them that they missed, and have given up.

No matter how "out of place" we may feel, if we will desire "something more" and push forward, the Lord will bring us into the level of spiritual maturity so He can use us in the outworking of His purposes. Thus, these are "in the will of God" while being "out of the will of God."

Moses clearly fits in this second group. He was not feeling sorry for himself, nor was he sitting and doing nothing. The original vision was still alive within him, and he was doing the best he could with all that was available to him.

Moses was called to the "sheep" of Israel, but instead, he was faithfully leading the "sheep" of the priest of Midian toward the mountain of God. This moved the heart of the Lord, who made an arrangement (a burning bush) wherein He could meet with Moses. Thus, all this was "working together" for good. 

Seemingly, being "out" of the will of God, Moses was "in" the will of God, as he was being brought to the end of his own ability, which prepared him for his meeting the Lord at a "burning bush."

Willing To "Turn Aside"

The Lord revealed Himself to Moses in a flame of fire. Thus the bush burned, but was not consumed. It can be said that it is yet burning and available to us – if our attitude is as Moses' was, and we become willing to turn aside into the Lord's manifested presence.

It would have been easier for Moses to remain in the wilderness with these sheep than to go back and face his past failure. There was no one in the wilderness to whom he could complain so they would feel sorry for him, nor to criticize what he was doing. Jethro's "sheep" were obviously much more cooperative and appreciative than the "flock" of Israel had been.

However, the intention of the Lord is always to prepare us, not only for us to succeed where we had failed, but also for us to go "further." Therefore, the Lord told Moses that he was to go back and face Pharaoh, to bring deliverance to the very people from whom he had fled.

Because the Lord did not expect Moses to accomplish this in his own strength, as he had before attempted, he was instructed by the Lord to "take off his shoes." 

Moses had walked as far as he could go in his own strength and ability. Now, he would walk in the strength (shoes) of the Lord.

This "intervention" did not take place until Moses had come to the full end of his ability, and was willing to turn aside, as an acknowledgement of his need.

And Moses said, "I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt." Exodus 3:3

According to most modern teaching, the burning bush is seen as being in front of us. They say that all we need is more faith, or some new methodology. Rather, the burning bush was off to the side of Moses' progression toward the mountain of God and required a simple action on his part. 

He had to "notice," and then "turn" from what he was doing, and submit himself to the Lord.

The fact that this "bush" burned, but was not consumed, means that it had been there for a long time, unnoticed by Moses as he pushed toward the mountain of God. Finally, Moses became aware that his ability or methodology was not getting him to the goal he desired, and noticed this bush, as it burned.

This concept of "turning aside" is very close to the heart of the Lord, who greatly desires that we both notice and respond to His presence.

My Beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, He standeth behind our wall, He looketh forth at the windows, shewing Himself through the lattice. Song of Solomon 2:9

"He standeth behind our wall." 

The Lord waits in the shadows, to see if we will notice Him, that He might come into our circumstances to bring us into the higher level of His purposes for us. This ability to perceive, and the discipline to respond to His presence, does not come quickly, or easily. 

It requires a "coming to the end" of our ways, and spending quality time in His presence in order to further develop our sensitivity to the spiritual realm, and to the manifested presence of our Lord.

If need be, the Lord has a "Jethro" and some special "sheep" who will help accomplish this in our lives, if we will acknowledge that we have come to the end of our abilities and ways, and cry out to the Lord that we need "something more" beyond that which we presently possess.

Blessed Are the Poor In Spirit

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Matthew 5:3

This means that we have become absolutely destitute concerning any ability that we may have and, in desperation, have become willing to turn aside. Only then can we partake of the provision of the Kingdom.

"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4

When we seemingly become stranded in the wilderness, where none of our "giftings" are able to function, we will mourn. We cannot help it, but the Lord understands and will comfort us. This "comfort" will result from the impartation that we receive from the "burning bush" of His presence, by which we receive the enabling grace of His ability, in exchange for the loss of our abilities.

"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth." Matthew 5:5

Only now can we face and overcome the "Pharaohs" in our lives – all those things that actively hinder us from fulfilling the call of God.

If we will turn aside and stand in the presence of this "bush" that yet burns, and receive the impartation that is available to us, this world will yet be turned to the Lord.
