Is it possible for you to get the attention of God – the Father of Spirits ?
Some forces influence the outcome of our choices, decisions, and actions. These forces belong to a realm that is higher than nature; they belong to the spiritual realm.
We know from Colossians 1:16-17 that there are four main categories, hierarchies, or battalions of these spirits: the dominion, thrones, principalities, and powers.
According to Ephesians 6:12, there are principalities, powers, rulers, and spiritual wickedness in high places. We also learn in 2 Corinthians 10:1-4, that these forces operate through strongholds, imaginations, thoughts, and high things.
It is important to understand that the father of these and all other spirits is God. God created all these spirits but some of them have rebelled and serve the devil, yet God has dominion over them. That is why God can give us power and authority over them.
[Hebrews 12:9 KJV] “Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?”
Our focus today is to understand the secrets to catch the attention of God. When you catch the attention of God, He will show Himself strong on your behalf against all evil forces.
The following are simple secret to catch the attention of heaven to our advantage;
- Cultivate the right heart and motives.
- Believe that God exists and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
- Honour the Sabbath and keep it holy
- Give yourself to the service and the work of God
- Offer your sacrifices of thanksgiving
2 Chronicles 16:9 teaches that the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are perfect towards Him.
Le to keep a perfect heart towards God, because motives are so important when dealing with God. Always check your heart!
[2 Chronicles 16:9]For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
Hebrew 11:6 teaches that he that comes to the Lord must know that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. If you say God does not exist or there is no use seeking Him; He will also treat you like you don’t exist. Wise up!
[Hebrews 11:6 KJV] “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Then finally Isaiah 56, teaches us the last three secrets. Let us read!
[Isaiah 56:1-7 KJV] “Thus saith the Lord , Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.”
“Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.:
“Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the Lord , speak, saying, The Lord hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.”
:For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.”
“Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord , to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord , to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.”
Every one of us can catch the attention of the father of spirits. His name is Jehovah! Keep these five secrets and see the hand of God help us. Let us bring the secret of thanksgiving to the altar of the covenant and see the face of God shine on us!
I love you
