Notes: 40 DAYS PRAYER & FASTING 2025 || UNDERSTANDING THE PROPHETIC | RCN MINNESOTA | DAY 3 |15TH JAN. 2025
Theme: Spiritual Sensitivity and the Human Spirit
Key Scriptures: Proverbs 20:27 – "The spirit of a man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly." Acts 27:23-24 – Paul's divine preservation due to his spiritual alignment. Jeremiah 1:5 – God's ordination and calling before birth. Job 29:2-3 – God's candle shining upon one's head for guidance through darkness. 2 Timothy 1:6-7 – Stirring up the gift of God within. Romans 12:11 – "Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord." 2. Main Teachings A. The Importance of the Human Spirit Apostle Arome emphasised that God primarily interacts with the human spirit rather than the mind or body. Proverbs 20:27 highlights that the spirit is the candle of the Lord, illuminating and guiding believers. If the spirit is dormant or wounded, it hinders divine communication. B. Spiritual Sensitivity and Alignment Using Acts 27:23-24, Apostle Arome explained that Paul's spiritual alignment preserved over 200 lives during a shipwreck. This illustrates how one person's spiritual positioning can impact others' destinies. C. Hindrances to Spiritual Growth Bitterness, unforgiveness, and distractions can dull spiritual sensitivity. The opening speaker encouraged the audience to release anger and forgive, stressing that holiness is necessary to approach God's throne. D. Exercising the Spirit Apostle Arome introduced the concept of spiritual "gymnastics" to strengthen the spirit. Believers must engage in consistent prayer, fasting, and worship to build spiritual capacity. He highlighted Romans 12:11 and 2 Timothy 1:6-7, urging believers to be fervent in spirit and to stir up their spiritual gifts. E. The Role of Obedience in Spiritual Encounters Personal stories underscored the importance of obedience. Apostle Arome shared a testimony of a prayer walk in Wales, leading to prophetic encounters with strangers. This demonstrated that divine instructions often lead to impactful spiritual engagements. F. The Reality of Spiritual Warfare Referencing Job 29:2-3, Apostle Arome stressed that spiritual darkness cannot be removed but can be navigated through God's illumination. He warned that the enemy seeks to wound the human spirit to hinder divine assignments. 3. Illustrations and Examples A. Prophetic Encounters in Wales Apostle Arome recounted how God led him on a prayer walk to minister prophetically to strangers. A man named Joseph, who had endured hardships similar to the biblical Joseph, was encouraged through a prophetic word. This story illustrated how obedience positions believers for divine encounters. B. The Shaman Encounter During the same prayer walk, Apostle Arome encountered a spiritualist attempting to disrupt a Christian outreach. Through spiritual discernment, he declared the ineffectiveness of the Shaman's charms, demonstrating authority in the spirit realm. C. The Candle and Fire Analogy The analogy of a candle symbolising the human spirit was used to explain how believers must seek God to ignite their spiritual fire. Just as flies cannot settle on fire, demonic influences cannot prevail over a spirit aflame with God's presence. 4. Theological Insights A. Divine Purpose Revealed Through the Spirit Jeremiah 1:5 emphasises that God ordains individuals for specific purposes before birth. Apostle Arome connected this to the human spirit being the vessel through which divine assignments are revealed. B. Navigating Darkness with God's Light Job 29:2-3 reveals that God's candle provides light to walk through darkness. Apostle Arome explained that spiritual challenges are inevitable, but God's guidance enables believers to overcome them. C. The Role of Spiritual Development Luke 1:80 and Luke 2:40 highlight how both John the Baptist and Jesus grew strong in spirit before stepping into their divine callings. This demonstrates the necessity of deliberate spiritual growth through discipline and training. 5. Practical Applications A. Daily Spiritual Exercises Engage in consistent prayer and fasting to strengthen the spirit. Meditate on scripture daily to build spiritual sensitivity. Maintain a worshipful atmosphere to invite divine presence. B. Emotional and Mental Discipline Release bitterness and unforgiveness to prevent spiritual stagnation. Guard against distractions and irrelevant conversations, especially during fasting periods. C. Obedience to Divine Instructions Be attentive to God's leading in daily life. Act promptly on spiritual instructions, trusting God's purpose. 6. Key Takeaways God communicates primarily through the human spirit, not the mind or body. A wounded spirit limits spiritual progress; guarding the spirit is essential. Persistent prayer and fasting are necessary for spiritual strength. Obedience to divine instructions leads to impactful encounters. Spiritual growth requires intentional discipline and training. 7. Conclusion As the 40-day fast progresses, Apostle Arome challenged believers to prioritise spiritual growth and alignment with God. By exercising their spirits through prayer, fasting, and obedience, believers will become spiritually sensitive, ready to fulfil their divine assignments and impact their families and communities. 8. Complete Scripture Reference List Proverbs 20:27 – The spirit of man as the candle of the Lord. Acts 27:23-24 – Paul's spiritual alignment preserved lives. Jeremiah 1:5 – Divine ordination before birth. Job 29:2-3 – God's candle guiding through darkness. 2 Timothy 1:6-7 – Stirring up the gift within. Romans 12:11 – Fervency in spirit. Luke 1:80 – John the Baptist grew strong in spirit. Luke 2:40 – Jesus grew and waxed strong in spirit.
