God is saying: We live in a world of need, but in the Kingdom, the only thing we need is to be led by the Spirit. The world moves by need. One thing we do, religiously, is to move by what we need as well. Everybody needs salvation, everybody needs healing, but Jesus did not run to all of their needs. Jesus never moved by our need, never by our wanting. It was faith that moved Him. He walked by hurting people. He only preached long when there were ears to hear.
If we are being moved by our need, then we can’t be led by Him. Jesus was always moved by the Spirit. Jesus was moved with compassion but not led by it. He was led by the Spirit because the Spirit had compassion on people, but the Spirit knew the heart of man and God's timing. If we are led by the Spirit, we also will be rejecting some people, just like Jesus did. Satan will send you needy people all the time. These could be a distraction. The kingdom of God is not by observation.
Someone said: “Enoch walked with God and some people only walk with their Bible.” You need to walk with God to be led by God and not by the written letter only. All that produces is a hit or miss lifestyle of doing dead works. You can be seeking Him but not obeying Him. Religious seek, seek, seek, but they never have it, but His bride was found by Him and she keeps Him, keeps connected to Him. She walks with Him in that. She is being led by Him. Religion is always led by the letter. One is a way of life. The other is something we do during the day.
Sometimes people talk about a “salvation message,” making an altar call for salvation every time they speak or preach when in your spirit you already know the listeners are all saved already. How do you know? My spirit told me. So you were being led by a blanket need and the letter but not by the Spirit. Needs produce traditions, so then you are led by your own practices and style and works.
When all you have is knowledge, you can’t see the kingdom of God. The more you are changed and like Him, the more you feel alone. It is called the separation of the bride. You can’t be manipulated by anything. You keep guarding your heart. That is why religion stabilizes their souls by the works for the needs. The Spirit rests in knowing He is pleased and walking in Him.
Wherever Jesus went, demons manifested. They never understood that Jesus manifested because of the glory He carried and not because He was of the devil. Today religion will say, "You have demons," because when the anointing is there, they manifest. What we really have is the anointing. There also false deliverances that talk to demons. This could be a demon confusing a believer or putting on a show. Jesus deliverance ministry did not make a display or a show but they just came out! Just because you talk to a demon does not make a person delivered. Demons are liars! I have caste out thousands of demons and never had a conversation with one. I only heard people screaming. When glory is present, demons can’t even handle the heat. They manifest, not have fellowship. There is a lot of deception out there. Jesus one time asked a demon a question. He did not fight the demon. The demon was in total submission.
I make a plan, but when the wind blows I am flowing with it! The highest way goes beyond good, but totally God. God is good but not always does good mean it’s God! Some people are following their own need. Step aside! Let God’s grace do the work. God told them to sing, and they go beyond and start preaching. Let the preacher preach! Let the singer sing. We need to stop making celebrities from gifts. Hollywood Christian TV is making many famous, and they are losing the anointing when they man please.
The kingdom of God is not what we see but the trail of where we have been. If you seek manifestation, you will never see His kingdom. Signs will follow us. It’s not our place to follow them. Here are the needs the world seeks: Need for food. We all need to eat, but the Word tells us not to let our belly rule and also says His kingdom is not a matter of food or drink, but of what? Also it says God will take care of you if you follow Him.
People bear witness with John because John bore witness of Jesus. If we all bear witness with each other, that is a sign that we all bear witness of His Spirit. Just because they talk about Him does not mean they know Him. The devil talks about Him, from Revelation and Genesis, Greek, Hebrew, whatever, you will never get to know Him from just reading about Him! All we need is to know Him by the Spirit!
A man can’t receive anything except what is given to him from heaven! He that comes from above is above all. The system of the World operates in need! For example: education, money, careers. In the World, your needs never stop. Need of a car. You need "a this" to get "a that." In the kingdom, all we need is Him!
My God shall supply all your need, NOT according to your wants, but according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. For those who trust Him, obey Him. Religious keep operating by need all the time. Humanitarianism! They like to live by their need and they are never satisfied! They like to do a lot of things to be needed. Then they like people to see them. They like to be needed, and they are always fulfilling needs.God really does not need us but He made a need for us.
Our knowledge about their need can’t cause us to move. Then we are moving by sight and not by the Spirit. We can’t go ahead of Him. Need is everywhere! What do we do? We wait on Him and only move when He moves. When we focus on needs, we can’t focus on the Spirit. You become ritualistic, and you can’t ever be led by the Spirit. You can’t be led by scripts or formulas. They always have the need around, the poor around, the lost around. All need something, but Jesus only did what He saw the Spirit doing.
Jesus got led to that man by the pool by the Spirit. There was a specific moment. Sometimes we get frustrated because we are moving, doing what He called us to do, but we are moving by the need or our zeal. Many were filled with the Holy Spirit, but they are not being led by it. We can’t do anything on our own, unless we see the Father doing it.
Whatever we see Him doing, we do. If He ignores a need, we ignore a need as well because He must be concerned with something else at that time or He is doing something else to the needy or to another. Just because you have a healing gift does not mean you run when you feel like it to a hospital and heal everyone. It might be the Truth but by another spirit: the spirit of divination. In the desert, Satan, looking to satisfy Jesus’ need, spoke the Truth back to Jesus, but Jesus spoke Truth with the Spirit and overcame that lie. Saying something true but from another spirit is divination. It does not matter, the source will direct the course.
A lot of people honor God but never mention the Son or the Holy Spirit. If we don’t honor three in one, we are not honoring God at all. Then ignoring the spirit in one another, even when we do good, can be in the way of God. When He is all that you want, you will have all that you need. Humility gets everything from heaven. Humanity gets everything from man.
Religious kills everything. It is murder. It will kill your relationship with God; will kill your friends, your joy, until the point that you commit spiritual suicide. Religious does what religious does but can’t ever follow the spirit. It follows patterns, formulas and tradition.
God told us to preach the Gospel to every creature. It does not mean you will preach it to every frog that crosses the street, but you must be led by Him and His spirit, meaning: "I am opening up salvation to every tribe, every tongue and every nation." When you get in the Spirit, you may not pray for you and your kids, but it may be praying for somebody else. You may be doing all of this and that but never meet God’s own need! You meet His needs while trying to do yours.
Those who do the things of the flesh mind the things of the flesh. They that are after the things of their own need mind the things of their own need. We are not of the flesh (need), but of the Spirit! When we are led by that, then we are the sons of God, not religious.
We are not debtors of the need or flesh, because if we live after the need, we will always be in need. God knows what you need! Do you know what He needs? If always seeking your needs, you will never see what He needs. What He needs is what has the power. Let the Spirit reveal it to you and go after it! Submit to the Spirit concerning things that He is concerned about! The Lord is our shepherd. We shall not need or be moved by it but by the good shepherd!
The Spirit always moves us, leads us, and teaches us how to pray. He makes intercession for us and knows the mind of the Spirit. Be connected to Him, and you will know it as well! He satisfies us.
Father, I thank you that your Spirit will help us to walk after the Spirit and not after the need. We submit to your blood, power and cross! No man, no religion, nobody can separate me or judge me, only you. We are the sons of God, and we will walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lust, needs, or deeds of the flesh
John 3, John 5, John 6:35-57, Romans 8
