Today’s Scripture
“Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them, and said to them, ‘Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives’”
(Acts 27:9-10)
Perceive – Receive Paul never said — “I’ve got a big revelation — or “the LORD Himself told me” or “the LORD revealed this to me.” Paul said — “I perceive.” This was Paul’s inward spirit witness occurring. Paul was perceiving, receiving spiritually from Father God in his spirit! A group of family members were traveling flying together! Their plane was boarding to take off! Suddenly the mother said — “We are not boarding this flight! I just have a perception that we should go on another flight later.” As they stood at the airline counter checking on, arranging a later flight — the announcement came that this already boarded flight would be delayed due to mechanical troubles! Because this mother was spirit-conscious they were first to be booked on a later flight which easily arrived early at their destination. The first flight was later completely cancelled and no other flights were available! When you become more spirit-conscious, many delaying, or tragic things can be averted. Some people will say — “Well ROSE, God did that. He had some purpose in that tragedy.” Never Beloved! You miss it because you aren’t listening, receiving. If the sailors had listened to Paul, received what he said — they could have saved lives, saved the ship, saved all the merchandise. God is not mans enemy! God is always ready to help you, protect you! He never works against you! He works for you! Beloved, God never uses the things of the devil — sickness, diseases, tragedies, threats, fear, pressures — to instruct you, warn you, help you, teach you! Perceive, receive His CHAMPION Ways spiritually — perceive Him first in your spirit! Blessings Flowing
