Spiritual Postmen: Check Your Delivery



Hebrews: 4:12 (NIV)
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.”

Matthew 24: 12-14 (NIV)
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”

Jude 1:17-22 (NIV)
But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.”

Spiritual Postmen, the manner in how you disperse divine revelation from the Father is very important. There are many who deliver messages where it comes off as cold, harsh and cutting; this should not be so unless you are sent to someone about to cross over as a reprobate. The word of God is the only thing that should be sharper than a two edged sword. The word cuts, not the deliverer. The Holy Spirit convicts, not the deliverer. As Spiritual Postmen, we must allow God to move as He must. The only goal is to deliver the message and then leave the end result to God.

Nothing New

There is nothing new under the sun. The revelation being released in the earth has already been with the Father so, it’s not new to Him but to those who are receiving His messages. Upon receiving any revelation, first allow for it to marinate in your own spirit, and then ask the Father, “do I pray, release this or keep to myself?” Remember every message of revelation or spiritual nugget is not for use within the social media arena, it may be only revelation for you to partake of. Always seek to discern first before releasing.

Backsliders and New Souls

These are the last days and the love of many for the Father has already waxed cold because of hardship and tribulations. He alone has a set time for those to return to the fold. Remember they can not be prodded or beat up with the word, but must be allowed time for true brokenness and repentance to take place in their lives. Otherwise, if they come forth prematurely, it will be too soon and they will turn away from the fold.

Final Words

My dear children seek me for what I would have for you to say, for I am truly a God that answers whether by fire, wind or rain. Nevertheless, I will answer at the appointed time.  Continue to pray and stand in the gap. Continue to cry out. Continue to seek. Continue to love. Continue to humble yourself. Continue to receive from me, the Holy Sovereign God.
