THE PROPHETIC PATH TO SPIRITUAL ILLUMINATION, PART TWO

What if the difference between drifting and landing safely is one prophetic word you refuse to let go of?

In this episode, we unpack 2 Peter 1:19 and why the prophetic word is a reliable light for real life—not a spiritual novelty.

You’ll learn how to pray a verse until it forms clear inner pictures, quiets fear, and reshapes decisions—what we call co-perception: seeing from God’s viewpoint.

If you’re tired of chasing signs and wonders that don’t sustain, this episode offers a grounded path forward.

Hello everyone, welcome back. This is the prophetic path, spiritual illumination part two. Our key text is taken from 2 Peter chapter 1, verse 19. We have also a more sure word of prophecy, whereunto you do well that you take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place until the day dawns and the day star arises in your heart. And in last episode, we started talking about the fact that the true prophetic word is reliable, it is a more sure word of prophecy. The second point we see from 2 Peter chapter 1, verse 19, he says, first he says, We also have a more sure word of prophecy. Secondly, he says, Whereunto you do well that you take heed. Alright. So the second point we must note in the prophetic path to spiritual illumination is that you have to heed the prophetic guidance. You must heed the prophetic word. If the prophetic word is not adhered to, it will fall on the ground. It will be like a seed that was sown on shallow soil or amongst turns or whatever and so on and so forth, but it will not be a seed that was sown on good ground. To take heed means that you must heed this advice. Why? See, we we exist in a realm that is obscured by darkness. I've said it, if you're experiencing darkness in your life, then you need to find a way to turn on the light. The prophetic word is a light that is a temporal solution until you're able to turn on the light that is you, the glory of God, for the manifestation of the glory of God. Once the glory of God is manifested, then there's no darkness. Imagine the sun. Do you think where the sun is, you'll be looking for, I mean, the entire space is dark, right? But where the sun is around him, he is totally bright. Okay, there is no darkness in him. That's how you are too. There's no darkness in the Lord, and there's no darkness in you. Your true spiritual self, there is no darkness in your true spiritual self, right? What the darkness you're seeing around you is around your earthen vessel. What you're looking for is how the brightness inside of you, the light inside of you to shine out into that so that it can affect your environment. It will affect you, it will affect your household, it will affect your environment. That's what we are after right now. That's what is spiritual illumination. When you get there, nations come running to you. Kings come to the brightness of your rising. Do you get? Because your showing forth is now evident to everyone. All right? You're bursting forth and your showing forth is evident to everyone. The spirit you is now out. The real you we now see. We see the real person, that's powerful you, the one that is one with God, we can now see, we can now feel, we can now touch, we can now behold. And it's really, I'm telling you, it's a beautiful sight because look at so many people around the world that have actually attained it. When you see them, mostly men of God, because as for celebrities, there's a way they most celebrities, there's a way they they got their glory. It's not proper, it's not it's not true light, it's actually darkness, right? It's not true light, is the is using money to look as if they are bright. But if if you're to look in the realm of the spirit, you know that this is darkness already. Okay, so it's not true light, but the true light is the true light of the spirit man, and it's only Jesus that gives that true light, and it takes this things that I'm teaching you now for you to be able to unveil yourself to the world, all right? So you must take note we exist in a realm that is obscured by darkness, and many times we need insight into unseen realities, and that's the reason why when looking for insight, you know, you see a lot of people turn to seers, they turn to astrologers, they consult horoscopes or even palm reading for guidance, trying to know the future. All right, prophets, especially when it comes to Christians, we say it's prophets. Most of those prophets are not of God, they are not of God. It doesn't see for God for it to be spiritual, it doesn't have to be spectacular, for it to be supernatural, it doesn't have to be spectacular. When you're seeing spectacular things, you need to be careful because spectacular things many times are just visual effects by the devil, so that he would draw your attention from the things that matter. God knows that we live in a blind realm. That's the reason why he gave us the gift of faith, so that as long as you can hear the voice of God and you can know the voice of the Holy Spirit and you can pray and you can hear God, then you're fine. You have the Bible, you have the word of God to guide you, then you're fine. But when you're running Helter Skelter, you have a prophetic word that can bring you out of any situation, it can bring you that one word that God gave you at the beginning of the year, can bring, see, it can bring you out of all the problems of the year. God already knew it. That's why He gave you that one word. If you're part of a church and God gave a prophetic word at the beginning of the of the year, it applies to you as long as you're in that church. Make no mistake about it. It applies to you. Unless you're not in that church and there's another ministry that you're working under, and that's the place where your heart resonates with, all right? That also it applies to you. So you need to grab that word with your two hands, that this is the word that God has given to me, and you need to work it because it will apply to all the problems that you face in that year. That is the that is like the the magic key. I'm not using the word magic. That is like the master key. Yes, the master key to every issue in your life in that year. I'm telling you, you will have to always go back to that word over and over again. You don't need horoscopes, you don't need astrology, you don't need palm reading. Okay, like I said before, God now commands us to repent. If you're a believer and you're always looking at all those kinds of things, even if it's just for fun, just take your heart away from them. All right, the prophetic word is what you need. God commands you now to repent because he once overlooked your ignorance, but now he is calling you for what? Accountability. God has already made provisions for you in his word, and he expects you to utilize it, use what he has given to you. So we must heed the prophetic words that are spoken. To heed means to do what? To pay attention, you have to exercise caution, you have to engage that word fully, you have to follow that word fully. See, the more you take a particular word that God has given to you, and you begin to let me give you an example. There was a word that the Lord gave me one time. I was praying, and I told him, Lord, give me a word, and then he gave me, Oh Lord my God, how excellent is your name in all the earth. Thou hast set your glory above the heaven. See that word when you first look at it, I think it's Psalm 8, if I'm not mistaken. When you first look at it, it doesn't, it just looks like a praise, you know, psalm, right? But do you know I stayed with this word and I began to pray it. So I would pray in tongues, then I would say, Oh Lord, my God, how majestic. Some translations say how majestic, how majestic is your name in all the earth. Thou hast set your glory above the heavens. Ah, I will say it, I will say it, I'll pray. I will say it and I'll try to see it. Just as I'm saying it to you, and I'll try to picture what I'm saying. Oh Lord my God, how excellent is your name in all the earth. Thou hast set your glory above the heavens. I began to see pictures. Do you know the pictures I saw? Let me tell you. Oh Lord my God, how excellent! You see that word excellent in all the earth, that word excellent means his power is present and seen everywhere in the whole earth. And if you remember, do our salvation cosmic edition, the earth is the universe, our physical universe, the mirror dimension universe. All right, so now how excellent is your name in all the earth? The word name is authority. Are you seeing the word name is onoma, is authority, authority, that's his power. So, how excellent is his authority in the entire universe, then he now explains. So you now start to see pictures. Do you know what I was saying? I was what is the authority of God? Is the foundation, the forgotten foundation of reality. What is the authority of God? The firmament. And if you look around the entire earth, go and do your research, scientific research, the firmament is everywhere, it connects everything. I strongly believe that the firmament is dark matter and it's also, you know, the 95% of what we cannot see, they are all the work of the firmament. It's either as the firmament or it's connected to the firmament. 95% of it, all the elements that you see, everything came from the firmament. Because if you've if you've listened to the forgotten foundations of reality, I told you that the firmament is the breath of God. It is the Holy Spirit, is the spirit of God. All right? It is the authority of God. When God is talking about his authority, it's a physical thing as well as a spiritual thing. His authority is everywhere. When you hear that the glory of the Lord covers the earth as the water covers the sea, see that translation is very, very wrong because it's telling you that you see the water that covers the sea, that is the glory of God and it covers the earth. And when it's talking about the earth, it's not just talking about the earth, planet earth, it's talking about the entire universe, our physical universe. His presence is everywhere. See, if you by the time I got into this thing and I was thinking over it and I was saying it, oh my goodness, I'm telling you, all fear was vanquished. Then he now says, You have set your glory above the heaven. You now realize, wow, he talked about the earth universe, and now we're talking about the heaven universe. Are you seeing? And God's glory is right on top. Do you remember what we talked about early on and the stark dimensions of reality? You can see a picture of it there. That the Lord is seated on the skyscraper of reality. He says, You have set your glory. What glory? He's person, who he is. That means the biggest star of all times. Of I mean, God is not of time, anyways. He's everlasting. The everlasting, one and only everlasting star is right on the skyscraper of reality. That is where he set his glory. Every star you see is the glory of a being. I told you he's a human, he's a being, not a human, but a spirit being. All right. So every star you see is a spirit being. Angel Gabriel, as you know him to be, is a spirit being. He has his star in the heaven universe. Okay? He has a star. Angel Michael, the same, they have a star. That is the collection of their glory. Your glory also, do you know where yours is? Is situated in God, where God is. You also have a star there. The one that projects into your spirit, your spirit into you right now, the spirit being, is coming from that place, that yonder place in heaven. That's the connection you have with God. So every star is a collection of the glory. So God has set his glory above the heavens. Wow, does it blow your mind? When I'm praying about it, I pray about it. I realize that God is the most powerful. Like I will not fear. What can man do to me? Do you get it now? So I use that thing. And I'm telling you, this is what I'm still praying over. There's a prophetic word God gave me. I was still praying over it until not long ago, He gave me another one. So I have the two of them. He has not told me to stop praying with two of them. So I continue. I continue. And as I continue, he will bring another one and another one and another one. If you notice, maybe if you see some pastors pray, let's say, for example, Pastor Jerry, when he's praying, you know, he starts with a particular verse of scripture. Every time he starts his prayer, he starts with that verse of scripture. There's a reason why. Do you understand? It's what the Lord has led him to. And if you if you are like that, I'm telling you, your life will also be different. Glory to God. So you pick that prophetic word, you engage it fully, you adhere to it fully. The Greek term for take heed means is is proseko and it has the imagery of bringing a ship to land. All right? If you've ever been at sea at night before, you know, you'll see it's this term to bring to land or to be at sea is actually a is a nautical term, right? Because when a ship is at sea, it's out of sight of land, it's in a perilous and uncertain position. If you've ever been at sea in the dark or maybe during a storm, you know what I'm talking about. You can't see land anywhere. You need direction. But when there is wind blowing you out of your way and so many other things, you are you're at sea, it's a it's uncertain, you are in an uncertain position. All right. If you see the pitch black waters of the sea in the dead of the night, one time I dined seaside with a friend, and we're just watching as the fishermen in a canoe, they struggle to find their way back to shore, you know, with a very large touchlight. And yet, if you see the light, it was not even looking as if there was any light at all. That's the reason why the light on the shore is usually very, very bright. But even at that, it can't it can't really stretch so far out into the sea, right? Because there's no place you can actually pitch, unless there's a bridge where you can put lights on it, but there's no place where you can actually pitch light in in the sea. Maybe there are ways that they're doing about it one nowadays, you know, especially fishermen that go to fish at night or early in the morning, all right. But it's really, really dark, and you know, it struck me that period how terrifying it must be for people who do business in in the ocean, you know, for them to be able to navigate, you know, in a storm. But this is exactly how your life is, this is how we are, because we are living in a dark realm and we do not have insight into unseen realities, and that's why God so merciful gives us insight through prophetic words, through words, through words, but you are looking for signs and wonders, and Jesus said, Oh my god, this is oh gosh. We're looking for signs and wonders. The word is or the prophetic word is already a miracle in itself, it is already a miracle, it has in it several miracles. I'm telling you, you can bring your ship to land by holding on to the prophetic word as a guiding light in the darkness of your life of your life. Hold on to it, hold on to the prophetic word until the dawn breaks and the day star illuminates your heart. See, this year do not journey blindly. Every year I say these things. Do not journey blindly this year. Bring your sheep to land with the prophetic words spoken over your life. Because you see, for me myself, this has transformed my journey. I've shared several testimonies with you. You have to bring your sheep to land with the prophetic word. Because when you're doing so, you're no longer, you know, you're not voyaging blindly again, like you're not groping in the dark again. What you're doing is that you grab the light of God's word, right? Even if you're blind and you cannot see. Just imagine yourself holding a torchlight, but you're blindfolded. But the moment you hold that light, somehow, miraculously, you see. And the funny thing is that when you see, you are not seeing, and I think that blindfold is very important for us as people who are working in in faith or walking by faith. Because if you're looking, if you without a blindfold and you're looking, all you're seeing is struggle and problems and all manner of issues. But the moment you're blindfolded and you hold the light, the light of God's word, and you begin to look at the pictures that the light is showing you, and the pictures is that you're rich, influential, you're very great, and you're helping people, and nations come running to you, and kings are coming to the brightness of your rising. Do you understand? And that is what you're looking at constantly, even if in the physical realm it looks like completely opposite. The more you behold it, I'm telling you, you will bring your ship to land. You will bring your ship to land. When Jesus was walking on water, and Peter told Jesus, Master, bid me, let me come to you if it is you. And Jesus said, Come. And he got into the water and he began to walk on water just like Jesus. But then, you know, in that moment, he was beholding the light, the light of the world, right? And he began to walk on water. But then in a moment of time, his mind told him, You know what, Peter, you're walking on water. Then he turned around and looked, and he saw the waves and he saw the storm, probably even saw a whale underneath his feet. You know, just gliding past, or maybe he saw a shark gliding past, you know, you see a shark gliding past him, and he was like, O L G. Do you get my point? And in that moment, he began to sink. So anytime your eyes are not focused on the word of God, he needed to keep his eyes focused on the word, the light of the world. He needed to keep his eyes focused on the word, the Lord Jesus, who is the light of the world. What did he do? He instead began, remember it was at it was early in the morning, it was around 3 a.m. You know, so it was really dark. They were at sea, obviously. All right, but instead he began to observe the waves, observe, observe, do not observe lying vanities this year, do not observe lying vanities this year, do not observe lying vanities this year as he began to observe and what happened to you began to sink. So that's the reason why you must keep your eyes focused on the light of the world. When you are doing this, when you hold the light of God's word like that, and you keep on looking at it, in spite of the circumstances you're going through. This is co-perception. This is what I was trying to explain to you: co-perception. You're seeing the pictures of God, and you have to hold the pictures of God in your memory. Do you know how you have like a dream, a very good dream, and you're just where you want to be in the dream, you know? You have everything you want to want in that dream, and then you are everything that you ever dreamed you could ever be in that dream. Would you want that dream to end? No. So, what do you do? You hold the feelings, you hold the thoughts of that dream, all the details, because you know that when you you wake up, you want to keep the memory with you. That's what I'm telling you. Keep it with you, don't let it disappear because that is the real you, that is the real world. Believe it, that is the real world, it will eventually become your real world. Because when you partner with God in perception, it will lead you to incredible destinations. So today, decide that you're going to bring your family, you're going to bring yourself, your ministry, your relationship, your finances ashore. How? Do not sail blindly into the mocky, unknown waters of life this year, but instead depend solely on the word of God, which is the light of the world. Now, how long are you to hold on to the prophetic word? Because when we read 2 Peter chapter 1, verse 19, we see that the Bible says, first and foremost, we also have a more short word of prophecy. So that means that the prophetic word is reliable. The second thing we see is that because it's reliable, we need to do what? Take heed to the prophetic word. All right. And then we now see that we have to use it as a light that shines in a dark place. Okay? Now the question. Question is that how long do we hold on to this prophetic word? How long should you hold on to it? Because it says you hold it unto as unto take heed as unto a light that shines in a dark place. How long do you hold this co-perception with God? How long do you hold on to the prophetic word? You hold on to the prophetic word until the day dawns. Until the day dawns, until the day dawns. That means you hold on to it until you begin to see results from that word, until the day dawns. Don't just stop and say, Ah, I've used it for two years. Now I'm not going to pray. Until the day dawns and the day star arises in your heart. Just the same way sailors will rely on artificial light until the sun rises. Imagine a sailor is at sea and then he's using all the lights, trying to hold it and all of that. Then you say, you know what? Since we don't even know when we are we are going to get to shore, let's just take it off. Ah, that's the scariest situation because the waters will look murky. Not only will they look murky, they will look like they have monsters in them. You know, you'll be hearing all manner of sounds. You need a little bit of light to at least see what is going on around you. Do you get so? But they have to hold it the same way and rely on that artificial light until the sun, the real sun, the sun shines. Once the sun comes up, wow, they are so happy because now they know they can find their way back to wherever it is that is their destination. So you have to cling to the prophetic word until the purpose of that word is fulfilled in your life. And if the purpose has not been fulfilled in your life in the next 20 years, please hold on to it still. Some some some words, some of the word of God in your life is is a street lights. Some of them is a light for your path. Some others is a lamp to your feet. Okay. The lamp to your feet may change, all right. The the touchlight you're using today might be different. Tomorrow it might be sharper, you know. Next tomorrow it might be an iPhone you're using. Maybe you started with a a touchlight phone, but now you're using an iPhone. Are you getting so? But then the lamp to your path, the light to your path, that one is just there. It's you know, it's a street light, is there as you're walking, is there? Do you understand my point? Some some words are like that. So keep it, hold it. You will give account of every word that the Lord gave to you. Did you know that? Did you know that? You will give account not of the word. That's the reason why it's better for you to be munching on God's word than for you to be saying strange things, you know, engaging in conversations that you know will take you. Do you understand? And more it's better for you to depend on the word of God. Are you hearing me? Depend on God's word. Only depend on the word of God, munch on it. So cling to the prophetic word until its purpose is fulfilled in your life. Glory to God.
