Spiritual Maturity & Companions

 
::She seeks daily understanding, wisdom & insight of who she is
.:::She reads the Word of God daily.
:::She increases her knowledge by reading Biblical based books - led by the spirit.
:::She lives her life as a spirit and not as a carnal - flesh driven babe.
:::Her days are never casual but purposed.
:::She understands & comprehends that she is one with The Father.
:::She gives God the glory that is due His name.
:::She will praise God anytime, anywhere and around anybody.
:::Her 'God sent' companions increase her faith instead of testing her faith.
:::She boldly proclaims the good news of the gospel when the opportunity presents itself.
:::She is an intercessor. She doesn't just pray she intercedes.
:::She has a revelation that no love compares to the love of the Father. Therefore, she keeps Him and knowing Him her priority .
:::She walks in the dominion she has been given by God. She rejects lack, sickness, 'not enough', strife and lies.
Lastly,
:::She understands that a 'peaceable state' and a 'quiet mouth' are umpires for right choices as well as weapons in spiritual warfare.
 
God Sent Companions (response to comment above):
Spiritually Mature Sons of God (Men & Women) have the ability to discern between good and evil. Between God sent companions (divine appointments & connections) and demonically influenced companions sent by the devil to draw you back."But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." Hebrews 5:14
All born again believers have this ability -'not gift' -but ability. Some have the spiritual gift 'discerning of spirits' as revealed in I Corinthians 12:10 but, all have the ability to discern/know right from wrong - good from evil. The more mature you are in the Word - not how long you have been saved - but how long you have been obeying the Word of God will display your level of maturity as well as your ability to know who's divine and who is not.

This level comes only with a right relationship with the Holy Spirit. He imparts us with all that is spiritual. He is the Spirit of Truth and He will unction you when you are dealing with anything or anyone that is not from the Source of truth.

A few key reference scriptures:
You know them by their fruit... Matt. 7:15-20
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers... -2 Cor. 6:14
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
-I Cor. 15:33

PS. God will never send anyone in your life to tempt you. God is not the tempter - satan is. -James 1:13-15
------------------
This brief teaching does not exhaust this topic. There is so much more to share that it could be a book. This is what I was led to share for now.

The Blessings of Obedience: Confession of Faith

We are called to be blessed and a blessing (Gen. 12:2).  Philippians 2:4 AMP reads... Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not (merely) his own interests, but also each for the interests of others. I'm excited about the Heaven's being opened like never before and I want to sow some powerful words of life that daily remind me of my covenant promises as a king in Kingdom of God.
 
Father in the name of Jesus, I diligently (on purpose) obey Your voice and I observe carefully all Your commandments which You command me this day. I decree and I declare that I have been set high above all the nations of the earth and all these blessings are coming upon me and overtaking me because I obey the voice of the Lord my God.
 I am blessed in this city! I am blessed in this country! I am blessed in the Inland Empire (or your city)! I am blessed in my house! I am blessed in my marriage! I am blessed in my serving! Blessed, is the fruit of my body (I am fruitful) and the produce of my ground (my territory) and the increase of my herds (my disciples) and the increase of my bank accounts and the increase of my investments and the increase of the revelation that God has given me! Blessed am I when I come in - everywhere! Blessed am I when I go out - everywhere!
 The Lord, has caused my enemies --- the enemy of debt - the enemy of poverty - the enemy of deficiency - the enemy of living paycheck to paycheck - the enemy of wrong relationships - the enemy that would try to come against my soul --- I am prospering! My enemies have been defeated before my face! They will come out against me one way and flee before me seven ways! My God - the Lord has commanded His Blessing on my storehouses, on my ministry, on my bank accounts, on my investments, on my relationships, on my health - to all that I set my hand to! The Lord has commanded His blessing upon it! The Lord - has blessed me in the land that He has given me. The Lord has established me as a holy person to Him as I keep the commandments of the Lord my God - and walk - and talk in His ways. ALL the peoples of this earth they see me and they call me by the name of the Lord and they are afraid of me!
 The Lord has granted me plenty of goods - the fruit of my body - the increase of ALL --- my produce (my products), my accounts, my spirit, my soul, my body, my relationships - ALL that I put my hand to, the Lord has increased it! And the Lord has opened to me His good treasury - The Heavens! To give me rain - in my season which is now! This is my season and He has blessed the work of my hand. I shall lend too many nations but I will not borrow! The Lord has made me and I walk in this - I am the head and not the tail, I am above only and not beneath! As I heed the commandments of the Lord my God which I have been commanded! I have been commanded to increase in Faith by adding to my Faith --- virtue, integrity, character, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, patience, endurance , godliness, brotherly-kindness, and LOVE! I add love on a daily basis because I am commanded by the Lord to do so.
 This keeps me experiencing the blessing of the Lord that is upon me. I will not turn aside from any of the words that are written in this book, the book of law, the Word of God! I will not turn to the right or to the left and should I make a mistake - I will repent quickly understanding that He forgives and He forgets and He reminds me to keep confessing His word, His Blessing that made me rich - that makes me rich and adds no sorrow to my life. I will go after no other god(s) but You God and serve You and You alone. So be it, The Blessing is upon me and my household! I expect favor! I expect monies found! I expect checks in the mail! I expect royalties! I expect bonuses! I expect raises! I expect the blessings to overtake me daily! ---The Blessing is my lifestyle! In Jesus name, so be it! Hallelujah!!! That was a breakthrough. Glory!!! Glory!!! Glory!!!
