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

TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL (Friday 1st January 2021)

“Come, behold the works of the Lord, who has made desolations in the earth.

He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariot in the fire.

Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.” Selah

Psalm 46:8-11 NKJV

WELCOME TO THE 1ST DAY OF OUR YEAR OF HIGHER HEIGHTS

Glory be to the LORD God for enabling us to begin another journey in our mortal lives on the face of the earth. Glory be to His Holy Name for giving us a word to use in crossing into this set of days.

I did not know that Heavenly words can be bridges to use in crossing from one year to another until the LORD spoke to my heart last night while preaching during the “Cross Over with No Carry Over” service.

What a set of words to use in crossing over to a new set of days called 2021. Indeed, by the time this year will be ending, we are going to say like the Psalmist, “Come behold the works of the LORD.

It is no longer news to us that this season that we are using this year to mark have been declared to us to be a season of HIGHER HEIGHTS in our walk and talk with the LORD.

For those who may not know, we starting running on the Higher Heights Prophecy since October 2020.

For some of us, the LORD has already performed some of what He promised when the prophecy came, we are only looking forward to Him preforming the remaining portions of the prophecy as the set of days called 2021 are fulfilled.

But to those who may not have seen anything, welcome to your season of seeing everything happen in your life.

A portion of our devotional text today says,

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.” Selah.

Hidden in these gracious words are the very manifestations of GOD that we are going to see this year.

There will be two realms or arenas that we will see this manifestation of GOD. The first will be in the global arena, and the second our individual lives. But let me share some things on what God will do in the global arena during this set of days.

The truth remains, the LORD God will do nothing until He reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets. His prophetic people are told things so that they may prepare themselves and those under their influence to move in the direction of GOD’s will and ways.

If we do not come into the knowledge of what the LORD God is about doing, we will think the evil we may be seeing with our very eyes may take over the planet. Last year the enemy did so much to harm the human race because of what the LORD used the Eagle to do.

I believe with the whole of my heart that the battle between the Eagle and the Dragon is not over yet. God has a secret card and that card will be revealed to the full glare of the world.

FRIEND, THIS IS A YEAR OF BEING STILL TO KNOW THAT GOD IS GOD.

Yes, it is a year of being still to know that someone owns the earth. The global arena is going to experience this part of GOD to the full.

A lot of people do not know that we do not own this earth; that we are only tenants.

They do things as if they are the owners of the earth. They cook up schemes and prepare themselves to do evil with a wreck less abandon. They do things that terribly affect the destinies of people with the mentality of deities.

The laws that arrest every one of us cannot be used on them. They are the untouchables of the earth. They carry themselves like deities, with no fear of God. They make laws for us and live above the very laws they made for us. We are responsible for their wealth because we depend on every essential thing they manufacture for us to use.

While there is nothing wrong with them becoming wealthy for serving us, there is everything wrong with them using that wealth to alter the destiny of nations and shape them to prosper the agenda of the evil one. God will do things this year that will show that He owns the earth that they allocated to themselves. He said in His word, “I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”

Watch out for the manifestation of this word this year.

Recently I ran into an information from a very reliable source that says there are only 300 people that controls every human life on earth. It is an association of the super rich of the earth. This people manufacture every essential thing we use and control every human life because of that.

They actually took the world from the point of not depending on machines, apps and etc. to the point of depending on them, and even much more. Our children today, will need museums and stories to know that the world was once without these things that they depend on. They will need a lot of conviction to know that we once had a world without smart phones, apps, computers and weapons of mass destruction.

These super rich control the very things that were made to make the world a better place, as we were made to believe. For instance, there are people today that if you take away their IPADS and phones, you will completely have paralyzed their lives.

HOW DID WE GET HERE AS A PEOPLE?

How do we get to a place where even Bibles have been reduced to soft copies and apps and are gradually replacing hard copies? How did we get to the place where if we do not stop, the super-rich will easily stop our Bible apps from functioning and take the Bible away from the earth?

Sadly, we live in a Christian age that do not use its brain. We have become vulnerable to the 300 super-rich who have the agenda of the anti-Christ at heart because we have become too subjective to be objective.

That is why I do not encourage having Bibles in our phones and IPADS. Get hard copies. Let us stop this move of the evil one that is gradually taking us to a point where Bibles can be deactivated with one virus. We cannot even tell why they are making the entire planet a Wi-Fi zone.

We cannot even see why we have nations today that when you step into, you will enjoy fast speed internet even in their remotest villages; I mean free internet. Why free?

Friend, if you see a rich man giving you something free, it is an investment, be careful how you collect it. He expects returns, and sometimes the return can be very costly.

The association of the 300 super-rich is an undercover association that is responsible for the free things we get. They give so much to Africa nations and we are paying dearly for these free things they have been giving mankind.

But how did we get to this place with them? We got here through persuasions and seduction.

Yes, we got here through systematic persuasions to give us a better world. While there is nothing wrong with having a better world controlled by gadgets and scientific inventions, there is everything wrong with using that to control human lives one earth.

There is everything wrong with using that to dictate how the human race should live their lives. Man was created and given dominion over the earth. No man was given dominion over another man.

The Bible tells us the danger of giving one-man dominion over another. We can see it in the earth that became corrupt and had to be destroyed by water. we can see it again in Nimrod and many others.

GOD IS THE ONLY ONE WHO SHOULD TELL US HOW TO LIVE OUR LIVES NOT SCIENTIST AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS USED BY THE SUPER-RICH.

But can we say that now? The answer is no! The Coronal Virus restrictions alone tells us we have passed the stage of being able to say that successfully. Something is about to happen on this planet earth. The 300 super-rich used that virus to test something they are planning to unleash on the human race.

This is not a conspiracy theory. It is the reason why God want to rise and have His enemies scattered. It is the reason He will be exalted among the nations and among they earth. So long as His redemptive plans have not being completed, the earth will never be abandoned in the hands of anyone.

They may think they are deities, but will soon know the true DEITY!

He said, “I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” He alone has the final say! He alone has the capacity to make their activities to cease. He alone can scatter them in different direction. Report has it that many of them are even diseased. They survive on medication.

Though they have made plans that will keep their evil agenda prospering even after their death, that tells us how much they have already failed. Time was anointed to bring things like that to an end. Time will paralyze them in our age and ultimately bring them to an end after the rapture of the Church.

The Bible revealed such moments in the book of revelation. They are the ones John the beloved saw as the Kings of the earth; those who committed fornication with Babylon, the demonic system that has killed the saints and drank our blood. He said;

“So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast which was full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the filthiness of [b]her fornication.

And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I marveled with great amazement.” Revelation 17:3-6 NKJV

THE 300 BECAME SUPER-RICH THROUGH THEIR INTERCOURSE WITH THIS SPIRIT.

I will tell you more on our New Year Service this morning! Now they are paying back by fulfilling the covenant it made with them; to use them to influence human lives towards a particular direction; a direction that destroys the purposes of GOD and deals with the saints of the Most High God.

The agenda of this spirit is to drink the blood of the saints, not to hurt the world that submits to it. That is why If you look at the coronal virus lock down rules in some nations, for example, they only affect the Church not the world. The laws are relaxed to help the world but recklessly applied to hurt the Church.

But we should not be bothered, our GOD will be exalted among the nations and the earth. That should be our consolation. His manifestation will paralyze them in our age and completely wipe them away in the age to come. That is why we must prepare for the rapture every day. They will begin to face the wrath of God after the Rapture.

The Bible says the system that enriched them will fail. In Bible terms, Babylon will fail, and the wealth they got by her will be destroyed in one moment and they will weep for it. John the beloved put it this way;

“The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’

And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble;

and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men. Revelation 18:9-13 NKJV

We can go on and on, but am not sharing this with you to scare you. Am sharing it to tell you why God said we should be still. Why He said He will be exalted among the nations. We are not to respond in the flesh, no! We are to walk in the Spirit. He will be exalted as He has said and you we will see it with our very eyes.

I pray that this year will bring the best of God to you and all who belong to you in Jesus precious name.

Wishing you a Happy New Year, and Higher Heights in you walk and talk with God. Amen and amen!

MAKE THIS SCRIPTURE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR THE YEAR

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the [b]midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,the holy place of the [c]tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be [d]moved; God shall help her, just [e]at the break of dawn.

The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted. The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge.” Selah Psalm 46:1-7 NKJV
