Note: This is not a Summons Message, yet it is part of The Journey. This message was given to Ruben by Holy Spirit and Archangel Michael. He was not summoned into Heaven to receive this, but heard it in his spirit. This occurred after recently observing so many groups that have been gathering to pray. This, I do not feel infers that our prayers are ineffective, for Apostle James wrote, “.......The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].” (James 5:16b AMPC) I discern from both listening as this was released, and listening again as I transcribe, that there is a higher standard the Father, (Av in Hebrew, and Abba in Aramaic, the language that Yeshua, Jesus spoke, and Holy Spirit, Ha Ruach Ha Kodesh) desire us to arise to; and also looking back at recent messages where Michael has said, “We just aren’t getting it.” May Holy Spirit help us all to hear the call to come up higher in all things.
For The Journey and Ruben,
Judy
Ruben: Holy Spirit spoke to me about how we are praying; and because maybe we’re not taught, and so we’re going with the way that we know of how to pray. Maybe one time in a recent prayer gathering did I hear the name of the Holy Spirit. So Holy Spirit is asking, “Why am I being left out? Is it not the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost?” But we’re forgetting. And the Bible says, “.......Yet you do not have because you do not ask.” (James 4:2b NKJV). So, “Father, I’m asking. I’m asking, how do You want us to pray?” And to remember to always invite Holy Spirit first, because we need Him to guide us in our speech. “[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....” (Ephesians 1:17a AMPC). We need His wisdom and revelation when we pray.
“But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.” John 14:26 AMPC
Holy Spirit, teach us. “Everyone prays, yes, but does anyone ask? It’s a BIG QUESTION MARK!” That’s what He showed me. I said, wow! Are You serious? Why me? Why not somebody else, somebody with more knowledge? I don’t even know what that means, “BIG QUESTION MARK.” But Holy Spirit reminded me. “Some will come. Some will stay. Some will leave.” He was offended because for the most part we do not connect with Him as we should. He is to be involved in our prayers and in our asking. Moving in the Spirit, that’s what it is about. “Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit.” 1 Thessalonians 5:19 TPT.
If we would stop and hear ourself; we’re praying, and decreeing and declaring, but what about, ‘I speak’ (using the authority given us). “God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:26 AMPC). And the Holy Spirit reminded me of something else, “Don’t they get it, the basic stuff? Why do they not honor their Master’s Name?” Wow! “Why? Is it that hard to break from what they have known and to honor His Name, Yeshua! It echoes into the atmosphere!” Holy Spirit said, “Without Me, how do you expect to get to the next step?”
Ruben: It’s a learning process. This is not to condemn, no. It’s a learning process that we have to understand. Let’s get out of what we have known and ask the Father, ‘teach us how to pray.’ Not what man has taught us. The Holy Spirit is grieved with much of the prayers of the people. It’s tradition! It’s religion! It’s praying out of our own understanding. Are our hearts in the right place? Yes! But we’re not acknowledging the Holy Spirit. Inviting the Holy Spirit, to be led by Him, because without Him where are we? Maybe some will accept and acknowledge this; say, ‘well, maybe we need to try this.’ But some won’t. But there’s still time to learn and grow, and we need to.
And the same thing with Michael. His voice in my mind, my ears, ringing in my heart, “Have they not heard?! Have they not heard?! What does my Master have to do, come back to the earth and do it all over again? He would still not be received and welcomed as The Messiah.” That’s what I hear. And all I can say is, Lord forgive us!
Motivation is what we need. Clarity is what we need. To go to the next level is what we need. We know they hear our prayers in Heaven. They hear the prayers, but they hear few saying, ‘Father, we ask.......’ “For here is eternal truth: When that time comes you won’t need to ask me for anything, but instead you will go directly to the Father and ask him for anything you desire and he will give it to you, because of your relationship with me. Until now you’ve not been bold enough to ask the Father for a single thing in my name, but now you can ask, and keep on asking him! And you can be sure that you’ll receive what you ask for, and your joy will have no limits!”....... “And I will not need to ask the Father on your behalf, for you’ll ask him directly because of your new relationship with me.”
John 16:23-24, 26 TPT
Also, thank You Holy Spirit for reminding me. When we pray we need to seal it in the Name and Blood of Yeshua so that the enemy cannot hear or intercept, but it goes straight into the heavens. It’s sacred because you’re coming together in unity. Let not the demon spirits hear what we are praying in Your Name.
If we do not share this that comes from the Holy Spirit, how are we ever going to mature? There is no error in this. All should agree we should not leave Holy Spirit out of our prayer, and we have! This is a caution, okay? We’re still learning. We’re going to continue to learn. How are we going to get closer to the Father? Through the Holy Spirit! Holy Spirit, we honor You! We are relying on You, Holy Spirit, Your guidance. Stop and think how Holy Spirit, how the Father feels when we pray together and yet few if any ask for Holy Spirit to help us, to lead us, show us how to pray. He wants to be involved!
