AN ENCOUNTER BEYOND THE ORDINARY - It'll Meet Preparation On Ground Series 003
Genesis 41:8, KJV
"And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh."
Look, an encounter beyond the ordinary will set you ablaze. It'll wake you up and interrupt your sleep. It'll write itself on your mind. If you're a spiritual man, you can't but acknowledge the fact that something is in store and at hand looking at this dream, vision, trance or communication of God to you. Brethren, you can know and know that a dream is not ordinary. You'll just know by the equipping you have in your spirit. You'll just have awareness and a very sharp call to note it and follow it up by praying and doing other practical things. Such communication might come with its own fear or awe to drive you to unravel why they are given. Such happens to Pharaoh and Peter in today's reading.
Peter would have eaten but while they made ready, he fell into a trance. In simple interpretation, it means Peter was still fasting or yet tarried in fasting until he ate. So, while in that condition where a man is attuned to His Creator, he receives a visitation. A sheet is let down from heaven to him with a voice saying, "rise, kill and eat". We know the remaining story.
However, after this trance, Peter knew he had an encounter beyond the ordinary. He knew for sure and through the content of that trance that this is no ordinary. Something is at stake or in store for him. So, he starts to enquire.
Acts 10:17, KJV
"Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate".
How did he begin to enquire? By starting to wonder at what that trance could mean. Stop having dreams or divine revelations just for their sakes. Probe them. God has an intent in mind for their communication and if you won't take it for granted, you'll see that they are signs pointing to something. Imagine! The reason and answer for which Peter had that trance was just at his gate while he was still wondering on what it could be.
This version (NIV) puts what Peter does succinctly in this manner. See with me.
"17 While Peter was WONDERING about the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found out where Simon’s house was and stopped at the gate... 19 While Peter WAS STILL THINKING ABOUT THE VISION, the Spirit said to him, “Simon, three[a] men are looking for you."
That's it. Peter thought, wondered and imagined what the vision could be. He wanted to know. I said it, the need to know or the urgency to know always come with God given revelation. He'll put a reason there to compel you to seek after it. Peter while still searching and troubleshooting as to what it could mean didn't spend much time in that rumination before the reason for that vision or trance begin to unfold.
Listen to me. Listen to what I have to say. Yet a little time. Just a little time and you shall begin to see come to pass what the Lord has already brought you in/as communication. The next phase now is manifestation phase. So, get ready to travel. I don't mean travel abroad. I intended getting ready to journey in the direction or path that vision, revelation would have you ordered. I pray for you that you shall see all you prayed for. All your seeds will germinate. All your expectations will meet with answers and your probings will meet with their unravelling. Hear this, "now is the day and today is the time". It is happening now. Your door shall be knocked and men shall ask after you. You shall be located and put on the next phase that you must take. You'll be shipped away to your location and all things shall fall in place. The Spirit that knows God's mind for you is doing this.
PRAYER: Lord, give me that awe to probe, prove and unravel your communication to me.
