THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT DEVOTIONALS – BY RICHARD E. S. TAKIM

TODAY’S DEVOTION (TUESDAY 12TH JULY 2022)

“John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.

You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him.’

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.

He must increase, but I must decrease. He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.” John 3:27-31 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 193RD DAY OF OUR YEAR OF AMAZING GRACE!

Crowing a year with His goodness is one of the characteristics of God. That is why He starts the years with declarations that are sent to shape them. The declaration reveals the kind of goodness the LORD wants to crown a year with.

For us in the apostolic family of the Cry of the Spirit, the specific goodness that the LORD decided to crown our year with is the goodness of His amazing grace. We have seen His grace in our lives doing amazing things that have left our mouths open in wonder and our hearts receptive to His will.

This morning we join our Bible father David to say;

“When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream.

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

The LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad.” Psalm 126:1-3 NKJV

We fit into every verse of this scripture. This year alone the LORD has brought back the captivity of many. In other words, He has delivered many from the enemy of our soul and given them beauty for ashes, joy and laughter for every tear they have shed.

We are who and what we are today because of the great things the LORD has done for us. Yes, the LORD has done great things for us, and we are glad.

We are not just glad we are grateful. The great things are products of His marvelous works. His marvelous works are products of His amazing grace. His amazing grace is a throne room product.

Now, Whatever comes from the Throne Room of God is usually above whatever you can think of on earth. It is powerful, uncontestable and demolishes whatever is from hell in the speed of light.

That brings us to the next set of miracles we will be looking at from today. I call them throne room miracles.

For those who may not know, we are on a journey of faith with the Cry of the Holy Spirit on Miracles, Signs and wonders. And in these days of hyper deception from the Thrones of Satan that are established in Churches, we must understand the characteristic of miracles from God.

ALL REDEMPTIVE ACTIVITIES OF GOD COME FROM HIS THRONE ROOM.

All graces, anointing and authentic ministries are from God’s Throne.

All with genuine callings and real word from the LORD are from the Throne Room. Whatever is of the Throne room is from above. In other words, it is far beyond whatever is from any other Throne or realm; the throne of Satan inclusive.

That is why in our devotional text today, John the Baptist described Christ as “He who comes from above” He said;

“He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.” Lying in this statement is one of the Characteristics of whatever comes from the Throne Room of God.

Jesus is the embodiment of what proceeds from the Throne of God because He came down from there. And if you watch the way He handles the works of the devil, you will marvel at how weak the enemy is in the hands of a mighty God.

That is why the Bible says we should cast all our cares on Christ because He cares for us. You may not know that He cares, just understand that He does.

One of our Bible fathers, apostle Peter, put it this way;

“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” 1 Peter 5:6-7 KJV

One way we unable ourselves under the mighty hand of God is to cast our cares upon Him instead of casting them before men or giving them to our mortal hearts to carry.

When we give our cares to our mortal hearts to carry, it could lead to all kinds of worries, then diseases and then even heart failure. Our hearts were not designed to carry our cares. Our hearts where designed to carry the Spirit of our God who cares for us.

Our cares are to be sent to God so that miracles will come from His Throne Room to deal with them. Do not forget, whatever comes from the Throne Room is from above and it is above all.

OUR DEVOTIONAL TEXT SAYS;

“John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.

You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him.’

He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.

He must increase, but I must decrease. He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.” John 3:27-31 NKJV

We are looking at miracles from God’s Throne and there are faith building truths to glean from this scripture that will be of help.

The first is in the statement that said “a man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.” This is the first truth to settle in your heart if you will get anything from God’s throne.

You can receive nothing except it is given to you from above.

That is why when you see people operating in superior dimensions, do not feel jealous or envious. Whatever they carry is not from the earth. A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from the throne room of GOD.

Understand that whatever we lack in our lives, the first place to look out for it is not the earth. Cursed is he who trust in man. The earth is not the place to outsource significant help from. All significant helps come from GOD. That is why kneeling down before GOD is the first thing to do when you are in need.

It is the beginning place of throne room miracles.

The next word says

“You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him.’ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore, this joy of mine is fulfilled.” I Must decrease and He must increase”

WHAT CAN WE GLEAN FROM HERE? SO MUCH!

But let me just share what is necessary for now. John the Baptist understood what he was not, unlike many of us in ministry today. He understood that he or any other were not the Christ. He was not deluded about his identity neither was he deceived.

He also knew that He must decrease. So much is buried in that statement but we will leave that for another day.

We live in season where God is sending strong delusions to people who do not love the truth. That is why so many believe and walk in doctrines of men and demons, especially the ones that address their earthly needs.

God is doing is sending strong delusions to haters of truth as an act of judgment because of their love of for the lying wonders of sin and Satan, and the lying doctrines they teach or practice.

The Bible says,

“The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,

and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 NKJV

Sadly, this scripture explains why a preacher will say God told him to carry oil and pour on the ground to sanctify cities and people will believe him and even give their monies to the course.

Strong delusions make people believe lies. They make people believe preachers when they do things that are not Biblical.

There are so many lies people are believing today because of strong delusions from GOD. People have believed the lies that tells them their stars can be stolen while in truth no one has a star because we are the stars.

People have believed that they must raise an altar of sacrifice to get deliverance while in truth the altar of sacrifice is the cross and all the deliverance we need is there.

You do not need to raise any other one. That will tantamount to laying another foundation other than what have been laid, and you will be the one to suffer for it not the preacher who collect your money and walk away.

THERE ARE SO MANY LIES THAT PEOPLE BELIEVE IN!

That is why most people in Church today get miracles from the demon of deliverance. You can not find accurate Bible truths in the hearts of many believers today, making it impossible for them to connect the throne of GOD for Throne Room miracles (which are free) even if they fast and pray for one million years.

The miracles you may get believing and walking in lying teachings that many are presenting in the language of truth will never be from GOD’s throne. If you want miracles from GOD’s throne, do not walk in delusions or deceptions. Walk in Bible truth.

When you walk in Bible truths, your life will be established in righteousness and justice, making Throne Room Miracles a regular occurrence in your life.

The Bible Says this about the throne of GOD. It says;

“The north and the south, You have created them; Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Your name. You have a mighty arm; Strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face.” Psalm 89:11-14 NKJV

Righteousness and Justice are the foundation of God’s throne. If we walk in Bible truths and align with our maker, our lives will be established on righteousness and justice.

When our lives become established in righteousness and justice, we will become aligned with the foundation of God’s throne and see throne room miracles manifesting regular in our lives.

I believe the LORD has spoken to us this morning. Do not forget, whatever is from God’s Throne is above all and no force of earth can successfully resist it. God wants us to cast our cares to him so that His throne can deal with them.

When we kneel, stand, lay down or take any position in prayer, especially with a heart that is filled with accurate truths and a life established in righteousness and justice, we will be able to place our cares in the very throne of GOD and watch Him turn things around in our lives.

LET THIS SCRIPTURE BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR YOU TODAY!

“Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16 NKJV
