Manifestation – an indication of the existence, reality, or presence of something; a perceptible, outward, or visible expression; appearance, demonstration, revelation, mark, token; explanation.
Explanation – a mutual declaration of the meaning of words spoken, actions, motives; description, elucidation.
Elucidation – to throw light on what was before dark and obscure, usually by illustration and commentary.
The words spoken over us that we allow to stay in the dark and obscure places, will not be able to produce our potential and intentional purpose. Not flowing in our gift will cause us to operate in a state of confusion; until the light is thrown on those hidden things of purpose. When light is thrown onto what was before in the darkness; it will cause destiny to begin speak and the Lord will begin, by illustration and commentary, the unfolding plans of God for our lives.
Jeremiah 29:11 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)
11 For I know the plans I have for you” —[this is] the LORD’s declaration—”plans for [your] welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
1 John 3:2
2 The seed of Christ deposited into my spirit will produce after its own kind, ultimately conforming me to His image!
John 3:1-3 (Amplified Bible)
1 NOW THERE was a certain man among the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler (a leader, an authority) among the Jews,
2 Who came to Jesus at night and said to Him, Rabbi, we know and are certain that You have come from God [as] a Teacher; for no one can do these signs (these wonderworks, these miracles–and produce the proofs) that You do unless God is with him.
3 Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God.
Matthew 6:33 (Amplified Bible)
33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides
Jesus told Nicodemus that unless a person is born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God. Our first priority is to seek the Kingdom. He did not say for us to seek a King, but the Kingdom; the Kings domain.
Ephesians 1:17-21 (Amplified Bible)
17 [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him,
18 By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),
19 And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength,
20 Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places],
21 Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.
There is a five-fold process of understanding and possessing the Kingdom of God:
1.You must seek first the Kingdom to see
2.Once you seek you will find
3.When you find you can enter
4.Once you enter you will possess
5.What you possess you will inherit
We will never possess what we cannot see. There is hidden treasure in every field.
Matthew 13:44 (King James Version)
44 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Hebrews 12:1-2 (Amplified Bible)
1 THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us,
2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
The field purchased is you and I, the treasure in the field is our destiny. Destiny inside of me has a voice that God hears.
Genesis 21:12-18 (King James Version)
12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
13 And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
14 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
15 And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
16 And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
17 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
18 Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
Wandered – to stagger of intoxication, to cause to err, mislead mentally and morally
Beersheba – well of the sevenfold oath
When we come to the place where we are trying to find our way; staggering and intoxicated; mentally and morally spent and cannot give utterance to our situation. Our destiny will begin to pray and seek God on our behalf and bring forth provision that will spring forth from a well of perfection. Those words spoken will begin the manifestation process to where we are no longer talking about what we are to do; but we are walking it out. Hagar prayed; but God heard the lad. When we pray God does not hear our natural voice; He hears the voice of destiny.
Romans 8:26-27 (Amplified Bible)
26 So too the [Holy] Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for utterance.
27 And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God’s will.
My destiny has a voice. A manifestation of the explanation. That hidden treasure is now revealed.
Mark 4:21-23 (Amplified Bible)
21 And He said to them, Is the lamp brought in to be put under a peck measure or under a bed, and not [to be put] on the lampstand?
22 Things are hidden temporarily only as a means to revelation.] For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed, nor is anything [temporarily] kept secret except in order that it may be made known.
23 If any man has ears to hear, let him be listening and let him perceive and comprehend.
Luke 8:16-18 (Amplified Bible)
16 No one after he has lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a [dining table] couch; but he puts it on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.
17 For there is nothing hidden that shall not be disclosed, nor anything secret that shall not be known and come out into the open.
18 Be careful therefore how you listen. For to him who has [spiritual knowledge] will more be given; and from him who does not have [spiritual knowledge], even what he thinks and guesses and supposes that he has will be taken away.
Isaiah 45:1-3 (King James Version)
1 Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
The words spoken over us that we allow to stay in the dark and obscure places, will not be able to produce our potential and intentional purpose. Not flowing in our gift will cause us to operate in a state of confusion; until the light is thrown on those hidden things of purpose. When light is thrown onto what was before in the darkness; it will cause destiny to begin speak and the Lord will begin, by illustration and commentary, the unfolding plans of God for our lives.
1 Kings 19:19-21(King James Version)
19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?
21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
Elisha had come to the end of plowing in the field of his nativity. He had come to the twelfth yoke of oxen; 12 being the number of apostolic government. He had come to the place of seeing the Kingdom; the government of God coming to his life. Destiny had been heard by the prophet who cast his mantle upon him; and this set him on the course of a new dimension of ministry. There is a five-fold process of understanding and possessing the Kingdom of
1.You must seek first the Kingdom to see
2.Once you seek you will find
3.When you find you can enter
4.Once you enter you will possess
5.What you possess you will inherit”
We will never possess what we cannot see. There is hidden treasure in every field.
Micah 2:12-13 (Amplified Bible)
12 I will surely gather all of you, O Jacob; I will surely collect the remnant of Israel. I will bring them [Israel] together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in the midst of their pasture. They [the fold and the pasture] shall swarm with men and hum with much noise.
13 The Breaker [the Messiah] will go up before them. They will break through, pass in through the gate and go out through it, and their King will pass on before them, the Lord at their head.
If the Breaker is calling us to swarm with men and hum with a great noise; how do we begin to swarm? The power of the swarm is knowing what and how to:
S – Speak in season
W – Watch and pray
A – Align for the assignment
R – Recognize and respond
M – Maintain momentum
We must enter our doorway of utterance. The Breaker is propelling us forward in our sphere of influence to bring an existence of abundant life that is going to quickly reproduce His Kingdom through expansion and multiplication. God desires to raise up a people who are willing to make noise continually that will create a climate for growth.
We are part of a revolutionary movement.
Luke 12:49-51(The Message)
I’ve come to start a fire on this earth—how I wish it were blazing right now!I’ve come to change everything, turn everything right side up—how I long for it to be finished! Do you think I came to smooth things over and make everything nice? Not so. I’ve come to disrupt and confront! There is a new world coming, and Christ is already reigning from there!
We must disassociate ourselves from demonic strongholds that are resistant to authority and to change. God is calling us to expose the death that is called religion. The Kingdom within is causing changes without, and is creating within us a vision of real revolution. We need to preserve what is good, and change what needs improvement. If what needs to be changed is beyond my ability to improve it, I will get help. Real revolution requires a responsible team effort.
Jeremiah 29:11 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)
11 For I know the plans I have for you” —[this is] the LORD’s declaration—”plans for [your] welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Today I will be energized by the promises of God that speak prophetically to my potential and help me to perceive my purpose. Knowing who I am in Christ, and what I am inevitably becoming in Him, will produce an unshakable confidence in me (“Beloved, NOW we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we SHALL BE . . . .” – 1 John 3:2). The seed of Christ deposited into my spirit will produce after its own kind, ultimately conforming me to His image.
A manifestation of the explanation.
