Yet within every individual resides a spirit, and it is the inspiration from the Almighty that grants them insight, as expressed in Job 32:8. Understanding serves as the bedrock of wisdom, its very foundation, and it is through the inspiration of the Almighty that true understanding blossoms.
DEFINING INSPIRATION
1. Inspiration is akin to a radiant light illuminating the innermost recesses of man’s spirit, a divine radiance emanating from the Spirit of God. When we affirm that a person has received inspiration from God, we imply that the light of the Spirit has penetrated their spirit, shedding clarity on a specific facet of life. This divine illumination guides and directs individuals in areas where they seek assistance or counsel, providing a clear path forward.
2. Inspiration serves as a conduit to ‘God-ideas.’ The disparity between a ‘good idea’ and a ‘God-idea’ is crucial. While good ideas may falter, God-ideas are infallible. Accessing inspiration means tapping into ideas originating from the divine realm. Good ideas may appear promising, yet they lack the guarantee that accompanies God-inspired concepts. Inspiration opens the gateway to God’s ideas.
3. Inspiration establishes a profound connection with the thoughts and plans of God. Those who experience inspiration find themselves aligned with God’s intentions for their lives, marriages, families, and destinies.
4. Inspiration entails contact with revelation, a source beyond oneself. Revelatory insights enable individuals to enhance their approaches, be it in business, marriage, or educational choices. Contacting revelation, an inspiration that doesn’t originate from within, marks a true connection with divine wisdom.
CHANNELS OF INSPIRATION
The avenues through which inspiration flows are threefold:
1. Inspiration manifests in the crucible of prayer and communion with God. Engaging in dialogue with the divine, rather than a one-sided monologue, yields inspiration. As Jeremiah 33:3 emphasizes, the act of calling upon God in prayer brings forth answers and unveils profound insights.
2. Worship serves as another conduit for inspiration. Immersing oneself in anointed worship creates an environment where divine guidance becomes evident. Instances in the Bible, such as Elisha seeking God’s voice through instrumental worship (2 Kings 3:11-17) and the Holy Spirit speaking during a time of worship and fasting (Acts 13:2), underscore the power of worship in eliciting inspiration.
3. The night season becomes a fertile ground for inspiration. Psalms 16:7 notes the counsel received during the night, emphasizing its role as a season of instruction and wisdom. Even those who may not acknowledge God, such as successful business magnates, often find clarity during the silent hours of the night. The stillness facilitates hearing the gentle voice of the Spirit.
THE POWER OF ASSOCIATION
It is a fundamental principle of life that spending time with someone leads to adopting their lifestyle, thought patterns, and behaviors. This principle applies to our relationship with God as well. Through dedicated time in prayer, worship, and study, individuals gradually align their thoughts, speech, and actions with God’s, saturating their minds with divine thoughts.
LIFE-CHANGING INSIGHTS
A single dream, revelation, or vision resulting from an anointed interaction with God possesses the potential to reshape one’s life permanently. Historical figures like Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver found innovative solutions through divine revelation, surpassing conventional education. The same transformative power of inspiration is available to anyone willing to seek it.
CLOSING AFFIRMATION
I declare the floodgates of inspiration open for you. May your mind be receptive to the wisdom of God, and may the inspiration of the Spirit of God permeate your life, ensuring that dullness becomes a thing of the past. In the Name of Jesus, declare over yourself: “I command my mind to open to the wisdom of God and the inspiration of the Spirit. In Jesus’ name, amen.”
