Hearing What the Spirit is Saying: Clearly Defined

by Brad Baker

April 20th 2022        

1 Some people would assume that when someone else is hearing what the Spirit is saying they think that the person is high on marijuana or some other kind of entheogen which could be a a chemical substance, typically of plant origin, that is ingested to produce a non-ordinary state of consciousness for religious or spiritual purposes. 2 Some would even go so far as to say that Moses was smoking something when the voice that came out from the burning bush was marijuana. 3 It has also been said that: Do you know that “cannabis” comes from the Hebrew word “קנבוס” (“KaNaBoS”)? And קנבוס actually comes from the ancient Biblical term, “קנה בשם” (“KaNeH BoSeM”), one of the ingredients of the anointing oil delineated in Exodus 30:23! 4 The first solid evidence of the Hebrew use of cannabis was established in 1936 by Sula Benet, a little known Polish etymologist from the Institute of Anthropological Sciences in Warsaw. 5 In some of the articles out there they say that cannabis was used on the Golden Alter of incense that was in the Holy Place within the tabernacle of Moses. 6 As well the the anointing oil that Jesus used to heal the sick and the leaves on the Tree of Life for the healing of the nations. 7 I thought this would be a good part to throw in this article for the 420 day…lol

8 Well I don’t know if any of this is true or not but I know that no one needs cannabis to hear what the Spirit is saying. 9 I would suggest that before someone is confidant in know that what they are hearing is from The Spirit and not just a lying spirit is to know and be grounded in the scriptures. 10 God does not lie and He is the true and by having a good foundation in the Logos of the written words from the scriptures is can be a great help in being sure what God’s Spirit is saying and to know the difference when a lying spirit is saying something. 11 Eve was deceived by voice that was a lying spirit and she then disobeyed God command not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge.


12 Some people claim that they heard God telling them to kill their family and then do so, or others things that would go against what God would actually say. 13 These kind of people have a serious mental problem and need to get help before they act on things they hear in their subconscious mind.


14 When some hears from the Spirit of God that are getting the truth and nothing but the truth. Truth can be laid out as a stepping stone to the full picture of that truth. 15 God used natural things as types that foreshadowed their antitypes in the Spiritual realm. 16 In the natural realm it’s like having a model car that represents a real car. 17 God revealed thing to Moses as the truth but later on when Moses, Elisha and Jesus met on the mountain, Matthew 17:2 states that Jesus “was transfigured before them; his face shining as the sun, and his garments became white as the light.”

18 Then in: Matthew 17: 5While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!”

19 The truth that we as ministers of God is, is that we are just a like a candle or a flame in the refine fire of the Holy Spirit. 20 The truth that Jesus has revealed to us is as the Sun. 21 All that is true in the universe that God has is as the biggest star Antares in the universe that contains all the truth that was and dis know since the beginning of time for everything that was ever created and born. 22 That compared to the sun is huge.

23 Logos and Rhema:Both logos and rhema are the Word of God, but the former is God’s Word objectively recorded in the Bible, while the latter is the word of God spoken to us at a specific occasion. According to Nee a passage of the logos can move into being rhema if it becomes shown to apply to the specific individual.

24 Playing Chess: Some who uses both Logos and Rhema with consideration for the interpretation of Greek and Hebrew words when they are speaking or in their writings, and debating. Rhema which is hearing what the Spirit is saying rules but never steps out of line with the Logos and connects the dots in the typology that is used in the scriptures. Those who are playing chess do not play according to other peoples rules like a puppet on a string. They do not dance to the tunes of other peoples songs. They are a flame in the refining fire that the Holy Spirit speaks through to those who can hear what the Spirit is saying.

25 Playing Checkers: Someone who only uses the Logos with Greek and Hebrew words when they are speaking or in their writings, and debating. Using the Rhema is considered stepping out of line with the Logos. They fear false prophets will rise and say they are hearing from the Spirit when they are not. People playing checkers chain God’s word to only be from the Logos. Playing checker is just the process of elimination. 

26 Playing Tiddlywinks: Someone who relies on traditional views only. They do not engage with the other methods used like Rhema or the Greek and Hebrews meanings. They only use the Bible and go along with their denominational beliefs attached to them in order to remain in right standing with their denomination to maintain their membership to it.

Conclusion: 

27 I had a very interesting conversation with a friend of mine yesterday and here is part of what we said to each other after we got things straighten out which is a good guide for this topic.

28 Here is what I said: I’m not saying that what I hear is coming from the Holy Spirit or not. 29 Only the truth comes from the Holy Spirit and if what I’m hearing is not from the Holy Spirit then it is coming from a Lying Spirit. 30 If what you are saying is coming from no Spirit at all then it is just coming from you. 31 I have absolutely no authority on what is just coming from me or a Lying Spirit but if what I’m hearing is coming from the Holy Spirit then it is the Holy Spirit’s authority and none of my own. 32 I would fear otherwise and I belief what I hear is coming from the Holy Spirit but it’s up for Him to judgment me if I’m wrong and other are free to expose what I say as error. 33 But if they are wrong then it is the Holy Spirit that they would be speaking against not me. 34 If what I’m saying is the truth then I’m nothing more than a flame of fire to help refine the world. 35 And it works both ways for all people.

36 Well likewise Brad…I impart what I know on the basis of what I study and learn, and I harmonize the scripture together to get the full picture on anything I speak on.  37 I asked God to give me wisdom a long time ago…and He shows me things in his word…like for example….people today will say that the if the canon is Gods word, and it is, then anyone should be able to understand it…they assume that it should be so easy a child should be able to get it…but that is not what God said.  38 He said it is the glory of God to conceal a matter, and the glory of kings to search out a matter…and in Proverbs 2 he says that if you want the knowledge of God and understanding, you must seek it as for hidden treasure, and search or it as for gold, then you will have the knowledge of God…these are the deeper things of God…the simple minded will continue to not know, while those who seek, and dig with a mind for the truth of God…not just whatever they want to see, but the truth of God, His truth…then they find it…but if anyone is self serving and biased towards a view, they will get exactly what they are looking for.  39 And the Lord will allow them to continue in their way….this is why so many people do not come to the knowledge of the truth.  40 Because they seek their own.  41 I take whatever I tell anyone very seriously…and when I ever find out I’m wrong on something, which I have, I change my view, and correct what I’m saying…

42 God gave Moses types that foreshadowed this to come in Christ and Christ fulfilled at of them and some of them can be seen through the fulfillment of the Seven Feasts of the Lord throughout the first century. 43 Jesus spoke in parables to reveal hidden truths. 44 He gave us His Spirit to hear from to those who can and a Spiritual mind to connect the dots from both typology and parables that are already there in the scriptures for us to figure out. 45 We are very capable of seeing them if we do not allow Churchianity to get in the way that some of us adopted in place of God’s Spirit. 

46 New revealed truth that has a good foundation from what was revealed in the past is like a line from that old cowboy song Tumbling Tumbleweeds by Bob Nolan wrote and sang with Roy Rogers.

 47 I know when night has gone that a new world’s born at dawn,

48 So to a New Heaven & Earth began in AD70 which we have not attended to because of playing Churchianity pretending we will be the Bride of Christ when it is more like a child wanting to marry their father instead of taking their right full place as an Offspring of the Bride and Groom.
