In a Trial — Seek Revelation
Three Words in One
Worship and Place
“But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24.
We often hear the term “Place of Worship” in referencing a Church Building as in a “House of Prayer” or even “House of God.”
But Worship has nothing to do with a location. Worship is a position that comes from within.
In Hebrew, the word worship is שָׁחָה [saha] meaning, “to fall down (flat), humbly beseech, to reverence.
True worship is knowing the heart of the Father.
It is Love responding to Love. This is the core of intimacy: your access to The Holy of Holies.
Jesus revealed to the Samaritan woman that the time had come when worshipping God would no longer be about location or a specific place (i.e. Temple, Synagoge, building); it would be about the heart, because YHVH-God is a god of the heart.
Yet so many today have missed this revelation…
How Long Have You Been on Milk?
The level of witchcraft this season is unreal!
Satan has upped his game, while Christians are still praying prayers from five years ago. But Satan is not going to come against those who aren’t a threat to his kingdom.
I actually experienced someone astral projecting into my home this week. But PRAISE GOD I rebuked that witch and commanded her and those demons to leave and forbade them from returning.
Spiritual warfare is real and the battle is on!
Don’t be deceived by people or leaders telling you that “everything isn’t spiritual” or those who downplay the battle over your soul and are substituting warfare for philosophy or “positive thinking”.
And there’s more to your battle than just praying for grace and mercy. We have to start picking up our swords [The Word] and start swinging.
Wounded and weaponless soldiers are ineffective in battle, therefore ineffective in the kingdom. Some may say this is “harsh”, but the kingdom of darkness is harsh, with NO mercy or grace.
Satan is the prince of this world and if you plan on winning this game, you better start strapping up!
Note: God doesn’t send babes into war. But for some, the question is, “How long have you been on milk?”
In a Trial — Seek Revelation
When facing a trial, we need to seek revelation from The Holy Spirit as to where the trial is coming from.
I remember when I first surrendered to Christ (at 26), I was in the midst of a trial and a prophet who was training me asked, “Did you ask The LORD why this is happening?”
My response was no, because I just assumed that bad things happened to me, because I’d done something wrong, or I was reaping.
The prophet told me this was a foolish way of thinking; that I should always seek The LORD for revelation of that trial, so I would know how to pray.
Fast-forward 17 years later, and The LORD has given me much revelation on this subject, and I want to educate you…
When faced with a trial, there are one of three categories that trial may fall in. It is important that you seek The LORD in prayer and supplication so that you know how to respond.
1. It’s a Test:
If your trial is a test, then understand that The LORD has equipped you with what is needed to pass that test.
The LORD will not allow us to be tested in areas we’re not prepared for. In other words, He won’t set you up for failure.
Look at the story of Job (entire book). He was righteous before God, yet Satan wanted to test his faith, and God allowed it. Same with Christ.
The Spirit actually lead Him into the wilderness to be tested by Satan, and He overcame (Luke 4:1-13).
Remember; greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).
2. It’s Chastisement Due to Rebellion:
Jesus said in John 14:30 that the prince of this world (Satan) had no power over Him.
This wasn’t just because He was [is] the Son of God, but because He did not sin.
Sin gives Satan access to us. He petitions God for us (Luke 22:31, Zechariah 3:1-5) and that which is not under the Blood [of the Lamb] gives Satan authority, dominion, or legal ground. His name alone means “adversary;” the one who accuses.
When Jesus taught the people to pray in Matthew 5:13 He says, “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”
But James 1:14 states that, “Each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed.”
So you have to overcome: shut the door to the enemy by repenting. It’s not enough to just “be sorry.”
You have to turn your face away from that sin (stop repeating it), and this will sever the ties to the enemy.
Forgiveness will bring deliverance, and deliverance will bring forth healing.
3. It’s an Attack of The Enemy:
Satan is relentless; prowls like a lion, seeking who he can devour (1 Peter 5:8).
But Paul reminded us that our battle is not against flesh and blood, therefore we must put on the whole armor of God, and we must take up our sword which is The Word of God (Ephesians 6:10-17).
Yet, there are too many Christians today that do not know the word! To not know the Word of God is to go into battle weaponless.
How are you going to defeat the enemy without a weapon? It’s not possible. Know your word! Study to show yourself approved (2 Timothy 2:15).
The Armor is your defense, but the Sword is your offense against Satan.
Many of us find ourselves in vicious cycles because we lack Knowledge and Wisdom.
But you must choose in this season to not remain ignorant.
Ignorance is not bliss in the Kingdom of Heaven. Satan preys on the ignorant. Make a decision to come out of the “hen house” and start soaring with eagles.
After all, that is where He will mount you up.
Shabbat Shalom

Glory To God. I praise your Holy Name Heavenly Father for your weapons against the enemy (Satan) , which is your Word. You are truly a faithful, and awesome Father . Hallelujah!!!
Praise God! Amen! God bless you, Minister Mena Lee Jones! I bid you peace and blessings, in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior! I receive and embrace this word and message posted, for the Lord is confirming to me, all of what you’ve said. Pride used to restrain me in bondage, because of me not wanting to accept the truth in my life, not obeying all of the Commandments of God, not reading, studying, mediating or applying God’s Word in life’s circumstances, the lack of prayer, praying in the Spirt and Truth, not engaging in proper spiritual warfare, not engaged in true praise and worship, not worshipping God with my entire mind, soul and body.
When I decided to sincerely seek the the Face of God, is when He began to lead me through the Holy Spirit, only then did the igniting of the Holy Fire, of and in the Holy Ghost, begin to kindle within. I thank God for using you in such a unique and bold way, to deliver this powerful message. Humility is something special, once learned how to embrace it and required as a servant of the Lord Jesus, to exercise humility, forgiveness and love, was a challenge for me, for a long time, until I became fully submissive to the Lord.
God bless you, Sister Mena Lee Jones! I will be truly praying for you, your family, the Church, the state of the Church, the lost, the Laodicean Church and the prodigals. Peace and Blessings!❤
This was a great teaching. Thank you and God bless!
