Part 1
Ezekiel 1 vs. 1
"Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God." (KJV)
The prophet Ezekiel had the most amazing spiritual experience. From the four living creatures, through the valley of dry bones and the warning to the shepherds to the measuring of the temple. There are so many other encounters and revelations within the book. The Old Testament prophets did not have the Holy Spirit in his fullness like we do and to them the realm of the spirit was a place they would be invited to.
The New Testament believer, however, lives in the spirit and has an added advantage because of the indwelling presence of God. The Spirit that carried Prophet Ezekiel into the valley of dry bones is in you.
Because of the Spirit of the Lord, Prophet Ezekiel was enabled to see and participate in the realm of the spirit.
Maybe you are wondering: if I have the Spirit of God in his full measure, why have I not experinced such visions like prophet Ezekiel or even posses the wisdom that Daniel had? It's simple. Your flesh has quietened the voice of God's Spirit. The Holy Spirit respects your choices and we have to seek after him and ask him to manifest himself through us.
The relationship with God the father and Jesus is automatic but our relationship with the Spirit of God is sought after. When you seek after him, he begins to teach you his language. How does the Spirit of God speak? He has a language uniquely designed for you and him.
His voice is in the Word of God. Through the Word, you discover the ways he directed or spoke to men in times past. God has a strong desire to speak and fellowship with man through his Spirit and his Word.
The secret is that his Word can be delivered to us in different forms. In this series, The Dream Dialogue, we will look at the Word to demonstrate how God speaks. We will look at the Word and discover his voice.
Through this series, I want you to understand our relationship with the Holy Spirit is not automatic but you must seek it.
As I was preparing this series, the Lord showed me a chariot and when I asked about it, he said prepare my children for major spiritual encounters.
As people will follow the blog series, Dream Dialogue, they will begin to experience God at a higher dimesion.
God bless you!
Apostle Humphrey
