“The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.'” — Genesis 2:18 (NIV)
Prophetic insight, to a great degree, is reality already manifested in embryonic thought, formed by current thinking, and revealed in initial guidance in accord with the Word of God. Because man’s mind, when submitted to the Lord, reflects the divine mind’s will, he can act to fulfill a future manifestation of prophecy ready to be revealed.
God, being both omnipotent and personal, may authorize and script the destiny of his creation to achieve a Divine Mandate by imparting his potentiating destiny to another’s mind and will. I found this true when I prayed that God would send me a Christian woman. I began to intercede for that particular woman, though I did not yet know her. I prayed, weeping, prostrate on the floor on one of the darkest days of my life. The next day, a woman (my current wife) paged me after finding me on Christian Cafe. This confirms that the Lord lovingly instilled in my mind to pray in accord with His foreordination. This wonder could not have happened without imparting a mutual destiny to another. A divinely co-joined prophetic destiny was revealed when I met her.
Often, in times when the bullets rage against us from every direction, the Lord institutes his compassion, his deep love for his committed people, especially when we are persecuted unfairly by those whom we love. Come forth…I prayed, called: Come forth, not just in an allegorical sense, but in that light that lone-seeing sees, bright, full, anew. The strength of any man or woman generally cannot withstand the state of being “alone”!
“The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.” — Psalm 9:9–10 (NIV)
God initiates divine mandates by imparting destiny through dreams, visions, and guidance through his transformational Spirit. He will attract or steer other souls to or away from new configurations of reality. God, as the great intelligent source, can maneuver the success of those who cooperate or the failure or demise of those who block his communicating mind – his Spirit-led individual or universal destiny. Christ is the Alpha and Omega of all ongoing Creation, especially those who will populate His new creation – His beloved, conjoined, glorious new kingdom – the New Jerusalem – where the River of Life runs freely, just as we are freely abiding in the Spirit.
May we lead, guide and love all those with whom we are united on our journey heavenward.
Written for my beloved wife, Catherine.
