How to Approach God - Part 3

This week, we continue our series on How to Approach God. In this teaching, Prophet Hari shares more specifically on how to approach men and women of God. How we receive sent ones is an indication of how we approach God. Immaturity tells us that we can approach a man/woman of God casually, but if that is your revelation then you can’t draw from that vessel.

“..Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be established; believe his prophets, and you will succeed.” (2 Chronicles 20:20) In this Scripture, we see a King’s revelation and understanding. In order to be established, we must believe in the Lord our God. It’s also saying that in order for prosperity to be added to our establishment we must believe in His Prophets.

In 2 Chronicles 15:3, we are told that for a long time Israel was without the true God, without a teaching priest and without the law. When God favours you, He always brings people in your life that understand His heart, so that you don’t stumble on your way to God. When God really wants to favour you, He brings the presence of a teaching priest in your midst for that vessel to reveal the heart of God to you, which helps you to avoid wasting time. The Word requires interpretation. The quality of your interpretation is a reflection of the quality of the teaching priest you have. Your diet of the Word will decide your destiny.

The way we receive Jesus Christ is by receiving the ones He sends. These are Kingdom mysteries. It matters to God how we receive His prophets. Below are 3 keys on how to approach a man/woman of God:

1- Have you taken the time to study this vessel?
Even before you meet them, have you discerned the grace that is upon their life? Studying is different from testing. You must investigate the kind of spirit operating in this person. The lack of perception leads to a waste of encounters. Another point to consider is that physical closeness doesn’t guarantee success. We can build bridges of honour, even without ever meeting in person. Study in honour.

2- Prepare for your encounter

In order to receive, your spirit must be light and free from offence. Our hearts and minds must be prepared, otherwise, we can stumble into a place of greatness and not profit from it. Prepare by coming with the right attitude. Entitlement doesn’t work in the Kingdom of God.

3- Come prepared with words

In the presence of someone that can help us, we should always come prepared with our questions. Think deeply about what you want to bring to their attention. Ask questions that have an impact on your life.

The reason why we teach passionately on this topic is because it’s impossible to honour God and not honour what He has honoured. A sent man/woman is a visible map to this invisible God.
