CONFUSION IS BANISHED WHEN YOU SEE BEFORE LEAVING - Knowing The Planned Time Series 014
Matthew 2:1, KJV
"1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him."
God is still working with this verse. He still has some juice to squeeze out for our edification.
Confusion is banished when you have seen, heard or known for sure before stepping out. You'll be so on point. You'll be so bold. You'll enter action with no shadow of doubt. People will look at you like this and wonder at your focus and effectiveness. Why? You heard, "that's the right place to be and you went there." Because that's the right place to be without doubt, you'll not reserve or withhold your labour because you know you do not have any second choice.
I love the way the magi chose to enquire of the precise location of Jesus when they got to Jerusalem. They say, "where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the East and are come to worship him."
They are clear on who they wanted to meet though the entire populace is still in oblivion of any King of the Jews' birth. Even the inn where they were denied space, that resulted because the innkeeper didn't know Jesus is the King of the Jews or Saviour of mankind. If he had known, probably he would have made room for them. However, these magi are not without information like the rest of the populace. They know! It is this information they have at hand they now use to wage the warfare of tracking down Jesus. They asked by giving a vivid description, "where is he that is born King of the Jews, for we have seen his star in the East."
Later on when they were taken to Herod's palace (in their quest to know), he had nothing to capitalize on with which to confirm Jesus' birth and place than to ask the priests and scribes of the people where Jesus was to be born.
"And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born" (Matthew 2:4, KJV).
He or somebody must have interpreted "King of the Jews" to mean Jesus Christ. So, without that description and specifics of the Magi which they got from God's revelation to them, Herod and others might have wandered in darkness.
You will know what you want and who you want to see when you have gathered such specifics through divine revealing more importantly. You'll just be straightforward and be bold, making audacious claims and requests like, "where is he that is born King of the Jews for we have seen his star in the East..."
As such, confusion and ignorance are banished. You'll therefore no longer say, "I don't know what to demand of life or ask for." You'll immediately know and when you make your tender, it'll be straightforward and strong. You won't shiver and be in doubt of being found out for the lie you want to tell. You'll have no fear rather because you know it is truth you tell and not lies.
PRAYER/CONFESSION: I set my face like a flint into Year 2025 and call it mine. Declare good into it.
