PROPHETIC SPECTRUM, THE ARMOR OF GOD AND THE SEASON OF SEPERATION. PART 1

PROPHETIC SPECTRUM, THE ARMOR OF GOD AND THE SEASON OF SEPERATION
THE IMPORTANCE OF FASTING IN ENGAGING THE SEASONS AHEAD!

God is a Spirit, and by implication, everything He is and represents is spiritual. This truth highlights that we cannot approach Him or attempt to understand, relate, or commune with Him through merely physical or intellectual means. Jesus emphasizes in John 4:24 that "God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." This means that our service, worship, and relationship with God must transcend the natural human condition or feelings.

Our journey is one led by the Spirit, where we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us through divine instructions as we seek to please the Father. As believers on the Portalsgate, we are called to follow the promptings of the Spirit as the seasons of the Lord unfold in our lives.

The Word of God teaches us to worship the Father in spirit and in truth (John 4:24), which includes times of fasting. Our fasting is, first and foremost, an act of worship, and it must be done in accordance with the Spirit of truth and righteousness. We are reminded in Matthew 6:16-18 that fasting is a private act between us and God, and it should be done with sincerity, not for public recognition.

The Call to Consecration and Rededication

There is a present call for us to seek the Lord in recognizing His prophetic agenda for our lives and the regions we have been entrusted with. As priests of God's Kingdom (1 Peter 2:9), we represent heaven on earth, and this mission begins with personal consecration. A season of fasting provides the perfect opportunity to rededicate ourselves fully to the Lord in prayer. Through this time of consecration, we align ourselves with God’s divine will, preparing ourselves for the responsibilities He has placed upon us.

A Time of Seeking Salvation and Reflection

This season invites us to turn deliberately to the Lord, seeking His salvation for the next chapter of our journey. Psalm 121:1-2 reminds us, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." In fasting, we turn our whole being—spirit, soul, and body—toward the Father in love, reflecting on His goodness and renewing our commitment to Him. It is a time of refreshing, where we are reminded of the prophetic call over our lives and the direction in which the Lord is leading us.

Hearing the Voice of the Lord More Clearly

Fasting sharpens our spiritual sensitivity, allowing us to hear God’s voice more clearly. Jeremiah 33:3 says, "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know." In moments of uncertainty or confusion, fasting becomes a powerful catalyst for spiritual renewal, transformation, and restoration. As we set aside distractions and focus on God, His voice will become more distinct, guiding us toward empowerment and clarity in His will.

Calibration and Spiritual Competence

This period of fasting is an opportunity for many of us to be calibrated or recalibrated in our spiritual walk, aligning ourselves with the intentions of the Lord. Romans 12:2 encourages us not to conform to the patterns of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds so that we may discern God’s perfect will. Through fasting, we grow in spiritual maturity, wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. We ascend higher in our calling, empowered by the Spirit to carry out the divine assignments given to us.
