The Lord brought this Word to me in the middle of the night for those who have heard the calling of the Lord, but have let people try to stop it.
God took me to 1 Samuel Chapter 3, where Samuel then 12 years old, heard from the Lord but kept running to Eli, who was blind.
1 Samuel 3:2-5 And it came to pass that time when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eye began to wax dim {blind}, that he could not see. And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the Lord, where the Ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep. That the Lord called Samuel and he answered, Here am I. And he ran unto Eli and said Here am I, for thou calledest me. And he {Eli} said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.
See Eli was going blind and deaf. Just like some people you may be associated with, they used to hear from the Lord and they used to have a vision of the Lord. But they no longer have either and are stuck in the old system of their vision. They still think they are hearing from God and are in His will but they are now walking in their own flesh and trying to take God's Glory for themselves. When you run to them and tell them what the Lord and they are quick to say "The Lord did not say that, or you can't do that" Because they are stuck on themselves instead of God, their life, their office, and their ministry.
People like that you need to stay away from them and do what the Lord has instructed you to do. Do like Samuel did in 1 Samuel 3:10 And the Lord came and stood and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, "Speak, for thy servant heareth"
Oh Glory! That is a powerful answer, tell the Lord "Speak for thy servant heareth"
Know that not everyone can hear or see, some say they do but they do not..... Some people are self-righteous, and will even make you think that only they can hear from the Lord. Don't put God on hold to get a second opinion from man or woman. Some folks love to think of themselves as wise, knowing all. Here is what the Word of God says about that: Isaiah 47:10 .... Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am and none else beside me.
But look what God says will happen to them: Isaiah 47:11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
They will be dealt with by the Lord and not even know that it is from the Lord but they will think that it is the enemy when it is God correction. Why???
In Obadiah 3 answers that "the pride of thine heart hath deceived thee"
Yes Lord!!! God will deal with them.
But you LISTEN TO THE LORD, with no doubt. Your calling will come to pass if it is of Him.
You don't need others opinions or their negativity, their intent is to stop your blessings. To make you feel bad about you and beaten down on a constant basis, But please remember YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE KING!!!
Hallelujah!!!!!!!
