This is the Way, Walk in It

Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
“This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right hand or
whenever you turn to the left hand. Isaiah 30:21

How important it is for us to position ourselves to hear the Spirit of God. Our ears are continually being attuned to the frequency of Heaven, and if we will just allow ourselves to be led by the Spirit of God, He will lead us into fruitful places of designated assignments. Notice the words of the scripture: “This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn…In other words, the Spirit of God is always speaking. Many times, we are waiting to hear the voice of the Lord. But what if we move forward? This scripture says “whenever you turn to the right hand or turn to the left…” This indicates His voice awaits our action forward. Just move!  The Spirit of God will speak AS we move forward.

No greater illustration than a testimony from St Helens, Merseyside, Men of Issachar, Britain. This account shows that as you move forward, the Spirit of God will direct you to pray prayers that will interrupt the voice of the enemy and plant hope in its place.

Testimony: St Helens, Merseyside, Men of Issachar Prayer Walk

One Tuesday night, five of our men joined together to pray for St Helens in a local coffee shop.

We talked for a few minutes about our concerns in the area, including a high-rise multi-story car park which was a hotspot for suicides.  There aren’t many families in the town who haven’t been affected by it.

We started walking and praying and when we got to the car park the atmosphere changed.  As we walked all the way round the building, passing bunches of dead and dying flowers, we could feel heartbreak and sensed the spirit of suicide.  We laid hands on the building and one of our men pushed a wooden coffee stirrer into the middle of a metal form bolted onto the side of the building. On the coffee stirrer was a written prayer to break off the spirit of suicide from this building.

Later the same week, we heard of a man who had tried to commit suicide the day before.  He had gone to the top of the multi-story car park and stood on the edge, but he couldn’t do it…he couldn’t move.  He stood there for so long that the car park was locked up with him inside. He said later, “It was like something wouldn’t let me jump.”

His girlfriend rang the police who released him without charge.

We give God all the glory, that the Holy Spirit held him safe, and that when we do what the Holy Spirit encourages us to do, lives can be saved.

Praise God. (end)

What an amazing testimony. Well done, St Helens, Merseyside, Men of Issachar, for walking out this important principle of hearing the Spirit of the Lord as you moved forward. If we take the first steps, Holy Spirit will lead us to the right hand or to the left. Further, He will also open doors that cannot be shut and shut doors that no one can open (Isa 22:22). When we move, He moves us into position to make the difference for someone. As Jen Tringale spoke at our Aglow Dallas Conference last November, “I make a plea upon the power of the forged stance of authority that you walk in, and I ask you to vacate any spectator place or position.” We are all moving forward, and we will hear the Spirit of the Lord with accuracy as we do.
