The Discipline of the Soul

As we engaged Heaven this day we requested to meet with Lydia, our ministry advisor. Although she did not initially appear, a substance appeared on the floor that was purple in color. No explanation came concerning this as now Lydia could be heard to speak. She began, “You are both Kings and priests in his Kingdom. Nevertheless, He is the King. Even children must be made to understand that the King is who He is out of the selection of who He has been made to be. And if Yeshua is King of His Glory, you are Kings and priests in His Kingdom and are learning to walk in authority as a King and in the ministry to your God. As a priest, kingly conduct becomes you. Kingly conduct is related to honor and respect for the position of the King.

“Some in your class have never seen themselves in their own authority. Some see themselves as the dirt under the King’s feet. Others see themselves as unnoticed. In his sight alone and without recourse, none of these things are the way to view oneself. Nevertheless, these are the lenses that are being used in the day to day of some of your class. Some have she was taught they had no value as a young child. Others, through the experience of always being caught in a whirlwind, the use of quietening at the hands of angels would be helpful for ones like this and their atmosphere, have grasped at straws so often that the grasping is what they do instead of settling to hear and settling to receive. These people are so busy trying to "figure it out" that they have, they have left receiving the answers a while ago.”

An Everyday Choice

She continued, “It is true that in your walk with the Lord, you will choose every day to follow Him. You will choose to set your mind aside and your heart on Him so that the Spirit of the Lord can speak to you. As you have learned, your soul wants domination over your spirit, and you are learning slowly ways of increasing the time your spirit is forward as you are living from your spirit. You are learning to rest by the practice of being spiritual. But if you are conscious, if you are being soulish and thinking you are being spiritual, you are in self-deceit.

“Practicing quiet moments of hearing the voice of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Spirit is a good practice. Meditating on His Word is not meditating on the world. Meditating on the world, leads one to strive and trying to figure out where one is in the world.”

Lydia explained, “Let me redefine a clearer view of what I mean by meditating on His Word–meditation on what He has spoken to you individually. So, I am talking about the rhema conversation, not the logo's written word. Other people's experiences, even the experience of Paul as it is written in the Bible is not your own personal experience of this God who speaks to His own. You must hear Him. You must be moved by Him. You must achieve this through surrender and following Him. The sacrifice of time is involved in this. The sacrifice of learning a new way is involved in this. Your mind has partaken of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and your spirit has partaken of the Tree of the Knowledge of Life–of the Tree of Life, but how this works out–the fruit of which tree will give fruit in your being is what is working out. More fruit in your being comes from being comes from the practice of being a spirit-led spirit-forward person. Spiritual things, spiritual beings, spiritual understanding, spiritual knowledge become more evident to your spirit man. I am not talking about the soul realm knowledge.

I am not talking about the continual analysis of what has been written. I am talking to you about the meditating on what you are hearing firsthand.

“Many of God's children do not believe they can hear Him firsthand. Many have surrendered hearing Him firsthand to other people in their lives such as their spouse and those operating as prophets. Would you not say that the world is full of plenty of voices? But are you discerning the voice as well? The voice of His presence. He speaks through the voice of his presence. Your maturation is connected to the sacrifice of time to hear Him speak and further the meditation that He has spoken to you. This is equivalent to spiritual growth.

“It can plainly be said, if you want to grow up in Christ, you must develop your faith belief to hear Him personally, Notice, I did not say to hear Him answer your questions. I simply said to hear Him. What is He saying? What is on His mind? What has come to you from His heart? What does He want to give you? What does He want to show you? What does He want to bless you with? How high does He want to take you today?

“Is the flow rapid or is it a languishing pool of refreshing? The people must hear the Lord for this is the access given through the King. The people must hear His counsel, His wisdom, and His knowledge. They must hear the voice of His might. They must hear the roar of His wind. They must hear the increase of His Glory. And most of all, they must be willing to let Him lead. Who is in charge of this train?”

Donna noted, “That is why you showed me the purple, isn't it? Because of the royalty of our inheritance in Christ is as a King and a Priest. There are some who do not know it.”

Lydia says. “There are some who do not know it because they have not paused to Hear it. What does the King want to do is one of the better questions you can ask? What is upon His mind to do?

She continued, “I want to share something that might be clarifying. She said, some even with that question will listen for the wrong answer. What does the King have on His mind to do means that the King will share with you what is on His mind? He is not necessarily directing your every move. From that question to this have been assigned angels. They are in charge of directing you. They are in charge of playing out or cause to be played out many things that are written about this era, the nations, the families, the associations, and the groupings of God. You gain your everyday sense of what to be is to be done from following the one who dwells within you. He who freely tweaks you with a small, slight check in your spirit. Many of you are receiving these checks of the Holy Spirit because this is Holy Spirit's work within you. The Holy Spirit will stop you from speaking. The Holy Spirit will stop you from making a particular choice. The Holy Spirit is not difficult to understand. He sounds like you sometimes, but He sounds like your best you. He is you indwelt from the Father and He reflects what He sees. He sees and moves from the Father.”

The Discipline of the Soul

Continuing she explained, “Your work is the discipline of your soul in the obedience to the spirit that dwells within you and speaks what He says. The central item of this is faith. You must believe you hear God in order to hear Him. You must believe yourself as a beloved one in order to feel loved. You must walk in the obedience of faith. The good news is that you can ask for more faith. You can even ask for God's faith. You can ask for faith to come and fill you, but it is also true the Father has given you choice to believe.”

She asked, “What are you doing with your belief? Where is your belief believing? Where is your belief leading me? What is your belief leading you to investigate? Have you paused to ask the Lord if this belief is His belief? This is what I mean by asking the King. What is upon His mind?

“There are many who are trying to get instantaneous answers to the 3D physical realm while you know God is concerned with what concerns you, have you paused as His child to find out what concerns Him? What is He concerned about? Are these not many good things to journal and consider? There are many voices in the world today. Not all worldly voices should or are beneficial to be listened to or should be listened to. Pay attention to His spirit within you, directing you, giving you attention regarding the questions that you have. It is the work of Holy Spirit in your inner man who is leading you, but you must tune into Him. You must allow His voice. You have to agree with His closeness, His presence, His nearness.”

She explained, “The work of the Holy Spirit is to grow up the church to change the individual and the corporate expression of who He is into a purer reflection so that it will come to earth through His sons and daughters who are sensing Him.”

The Time for Miracles

Lydia said, “The time for miracles is coming. It is a very short time before the miracles of God are going to be displacing other things. But these miracles, while these miracles are timed and will begin to operate in the lives of people. The soul realm has a certain expectation of what a miracle is. Is not the spirit of the man knowing the intensity of the miracle as it is being brought about? Even in secret, whether secret miracle or public a miracle is a movement of God that bends the laws of the physical realm to the will of the King. Is this not for the children of God that came to manifest? I tell you it is.

“If you are patience in this process with a high degree of faith and belief, never backing down from your belief. We will accomplish many miracles in days ahead; Miracles are brought on the winds of God and are directed by the Holy Spirit Miracles come through mature sons and sons of God.

“There are many levels of miracles. The speaking miracles. Accessing heavenly realms is a miracle. Knowing the voice of the Father is a miracle. You have elementary miracles are all around you so you are learning to steward elementary miracles so that you can grow into stewarding the greater works of God.”

Angels Commitment

At this point Ezekiel (our chief ministry angel) began to speak, “We are on assignment. We who are loyal to the King and to the Father. We are committed in our loyalty to the expansion of His Glory. The angels assigned to people are committed to the expansion of God's glory inside them, around them, and with them. The partnership of humankind with the angelic race is to bring about The Glory. The manifestation of the Glory of God is,” Ezekiel says, “Trust me when I tell you this, you cannot do this alone. You cannot. You cannot manifest the glory of God in the earth realm as it is today without the help of the angelic host. We have long looked forward to this day, just as we have found moments of ecstasy in His Glory as it has been revealed in previous eras. The wisdom of the Father is exceedingly great, and the angels are aligned with His wisdom and counsel.

Definition of Turncoat:
One who traitorously switches allegiance.

“The angels that are with God are going to be with God forever. There are no more turncoat angels. There was and there were, but there are no more. Now, to work with the host of Heaven, to work with this glory force are those who are 100% zealously committed to the expansion of His Glory in the earth. Humans are really going to have to get this!

Ezekiel reminded us, “Angels of the host of Heaven have more might than any pitiful turncoat ever could think of.”

Donna noted that Ezekiel simply said that in a matter of fact and full of truth manner. She immediately declared, “I received the expansion of that truth in my realm and in my being.”

But you are God’s chosen treasure—priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones. (1 Peter 2:9 TPT)

She continued, “No wonder the resistance to working with angels is so evident when the release of the partnership of mankind and angels is so powerful.”

Ezekiel intoned, “It is powerful, and it is part of His Glory. Part of His Glory is His wisdom in this. Can you understand this? It is the wisdom of God to cause humankind to operate with the host of Heaven. It is the wisdom of God.

“Can you rejoice in this? Can you believe in the wisdom of this great depth in the release? The angels—the host of Heaven to work with the men of earth, meaning men and women? “

Then, speaking to Donna he chuckled and said, “Donna, that should fire you up.”

Your Arrangement with Angels

Ezekiel continued, “The Father's release of His arrangement to work with the sons and daughters of God and the angelic is for the release of His Glory which equate equates to the release of His power and His might by spiritual means. It has always been this way. This is what the illegal trade of that power and why it was all about. It was doing it without Him. It was circumventing God.

That is what the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was all about. If Satan could get humans to eat from that tree, he could rule them because he could make them afraid. He rules by fear. He always rules by fear. He will always rule by fear. He will never stop ruling by fear. And it is true what scripture says, the Father has never given humankind the spirit of fear.

Let your faith be like Abraham. God is working out a good plan. Your faith is not in the plan. It is in the creator of the plan with belief that He will show you the steps of His plan where it affects you. All trauma, all fear, all wounds, all pain is simply present in your life to divert you from this faith to cause the frequencies in you and around you to resonate at a wrong frequency so that you are not receiving all that you need to receive from His authority, from His name.

You have a responsibility not to embrace fear.

And you have a responsibility to repent for fear where you have agreed with it.

And you also have a responsibility not to let the voice of fear teach you.

This is what Lydia was talking about because the Father will never speak from a voice of fear.

Meditate on the voice of wisdom and counsel, the voice of goodness, the voice of truth, the voice of light, the voice of joy, the voice of victory. Ask yourself, ‘What does the voice of victory say about this?’

You know these answers are not withheld from you. They come from within you by His Spirit.”

The Fivefold Gifting

Ezekiel said, “God has placed in His house on earth the ministry of the fivefold gifting. This fivefold gifting as it is being established in the earth is related to the government of the realm of the manifestation of His Glory.

“The leading of this fivefold into understanding, grasping the unseen power and might of God, the supernatural, is some of what will be released in future days. The future does contain this, “Ezekiel said.

“Why am I seeing this? What is this?” Donna inquired.

Donna had suddenly seen an image of us (Ron and Donna) in the front car of a roller coaster. We were already on the track. The tracks are very up and down like a wild ride. We were in the front. We were in the front car. Ezekiel explained, “The front car is for the risk takers. Those looking for the most excitement get in the first car.” He said, “I am just showing you the role of going first. If no one demonstrates this to other people, at least those who are being drawn by the spirit to hear what you are releasing. If no one goes first, how will anybody go?”

Ezekiel said, “Donna, how many times have you gotten on the front seat of the rollercoaster? Not that many. Maybe once or twice, but not that many. You have written in the middle cars a whole lot more.”

Ezekiel ended by saying, “Remember, the Father can bring good things out of all things. He can use it for your good, let him use it.”
