Landscape with Balaam (Joseph Anton Koch 1832/36) – German National Museum, Nürnberg
With compromising here I meant the temptation to mix the spirits in order to please people or ourselves more than God. In other words, God has told us to do something, but we begin to wonder after some time whether He might have changed His mind regarding the commandment once given. If God has shown us a certain direction we should walk in, we can be sure that He had good reasons why He led us that way. Whether we understand His guidance or not, it is always also for our spiritual protection if He warns us and tells us not to move along a way we might have chosen on our own. We read in the Book of Numbers,
“God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?” (Num 23:19 ESV)
Balaam who was a prophet of the Lord faced this very temptation I mentioned above. Balak, the king of the Moabites felt threatened by the people of Israel and therefore commanded Balaam to curse them for him. In return, Balak promised to honor Balaam if he obeyed his command. To make a long story short, Balaam asked the Lord for His leading and God told him not to curse His people because He had decided to bless them. Furthermore, God did not want Balaam to join those people Balak had sent to bring the prophet to the king of Moab.
However, Balak who did not like that prophecy as he wanted to have the Israelites removed from his territory did not give up on his original plan. Therefore he tempted Balaam even three times to do what God did not want by offering Balaam a worldly reward for resisting God. Not with these words, though, but in effect. It seems that Balaam was wavering as to His obedience toward God since he decided to go with those people back to Balak although God had told him to not do it. For this very reason God got angry with Balaam and sent His angel to cut the prophet off his wrong path.
Doesn’t this story remind us of the pattern Satan also used to tempt Jesus in the wilderness after our Lord’s baptism in the river of Jordan? This pattern of promising this-worldly rewards for disobeying God’s commandments has always been the same. Whenever God draws us close to His heart and shares His will with us, the devil sneaks in to pull us down on a lower level where he still is king as the prince of this world. Alas, when the enemy has us under his control again, we cannot clearly discern the voice of God in our lives any longer. Everything we might hear then becomes a mix, a blend of spirits, which makes it very difficult for us to cut through that cloud of confusion.
To give my musings a more personal touch, I want to share my own experiences with you. It was on Wednesday this week as I had a vision while praying in the morning. In this vision I found myself walking through a long and gray corridor that reminded me of the former header of my blog (i.e., the Château Theme). That corridor had been located in a castle. It was a tedious walk although I felt the Lord’s presence behind me. At the end of the corridor there was an open entrance to a darker room on a lower level. I stopped there, looked inside, and feeling repelled by what I saw, I told the Lord, “I do not want to enter.” That room strongly reminded me of the German National Museum in Nürnberg (three of these pictures posted on here were taken by me there in 2017). Casting a glance around, I saw several glassboxes with precious objects that were illuminated from above while the rest of the room remained in darkness.
But the Lord told me to go downstairs anyway. Reluctantly I did, but after a few steps I stopped abruptly. It was as if I could hardly breathe any more and I also started to sense a heavy burden on my heart that seemed to weigh down on me. I turned to Jesus and asked for an exit out of this stifling chamber. Suddenly a door to my left opened, which made me wonder at first, because the left side usually represents the flesh. Anyway, I left quickly, being able to really breathe in and out again while enjoying the bright light and freedom of the Kingdom of God. Although I saw shining landscapes with mountains, waters, and seashores in this tranquility which belongs to the Kingdom of Heaven, something seemed to be wrong, still. But what was it? 🙄
For some reason I could not fully enjoy His rest by walking in the spirit. Instead, as I tried to leave that darker area more and more behind me, I saw that it was not possible at all! As I turned around, I realized that Jesus was not there any longer, either. However, that museum seemed to somehow stick to my back! Even running away would not have helped. Unfortunately, I could not get rid of this haunting atmosphere that was following me wherever I turned. Hmm… 🙄 Asking the Lord for help, He told me to go back to that room I hated and to rather choose the midmost path through that hall. I followed His advice and very quickly He pulled me through that dark area to an exit straight ahead of the former entrance. Again, I saw those shining landscapes. But this time I could enjoy it and leave the darkness behind me.

The vision was longer than I described here. Yet I think this part is enough to understand its experiential interpretation that now follows. After the vision God told me that a particular person would call me in the morning. I was not happy about it since that person, driven by their own fears, tries to get others under their control. Almost a half year ago Jesus helped me for the first time in my life to resist that controlling spirit behind that person after decades of me caving in due to my people pleaser mentality (I wrote about it here). Although God never took that strength to resist that evil spirit away, I always depend on His leading. It is not so that God says, “You must never meet this person again” or “You should always love so-and-so whenever they need your help.” No, that would not be walking by the Spirit of God. From hence, I was not yet sure what to expect on that very day.
After a certain time of doing the housework, the phone suddenly rang. I automatically “knew” who it was and asked for God’s guidance. He told me before what that person really wanted to share with me would not be what I’d find recorded on tape. In fact, He told me the opposite of what I heard spoken on the answering machine. It seemed that they expected me to return the call as soon as I had time to do so. In the past I always felt pressured to hear such a ‘hidden command’ because I had no ‘apology’ as soon as I had time to really call them back, so to say. It was about half an hour later when the phone rang again. Jesus pointed out that it was the same person (which was truly the case as I realized by checking the display of the phone). He also asked me, “Do you want to talk with them?” to which I answered, “Nooo, of course not!!”
Indeed, I ignored that call as well because I felt God’s pleasure and peace to do so. At the same time God started to explain the vision to me. That dark chamber of the museum represented the flesh, our soul with all its focus on dead objects of the past. The spotlight targeted, for instance, at this beautiful vessel in turquoise and golden you can see in the picture above, equals our mind’s focus on everything apart from God that has no real life in itself. Even though that which we behold with our mind’s eye might look beautiful initially, our soulish focus will never be able to reach the Holy Spirit’s realm on its own. What I had often tried in the past, though, and that was God’s warning for me in that vision, was that I shared other persons’ burdens, fears, and worries of my own volition. But alas, I had opened up my very heart to them without God having told me to do so at that time. Afterwards when I found myself captured by the wrong spirits that kept attacking me, I tried to leave the darkness that was full of fears, anger, and worries again on my own by choosing the left side, that is, the flesh, in order to draw those suffering people to the Kingdom of God myself at that!
To cut another long story short, I needed no apology whatsoever for not returning any of those (eventually more than two) calls since God by His grace enabled me to admit later that I had been at home while the first calls came in. The Holy Spirit also reminded me once again that I could always benefit from His protection through the whole armor of God when I obey Him. In return, God told me to be absolutely honest and transparent when anyone asks me why I behave that way and no other. Whether other people understand my behavior or not does not matter at that moment. However, doesn’t it seem to be for the glory of God if we willingly follow His commands? Maybe, it is even a sort of ‘proof’ for this world that God really exists. On the other hand, if we disobey God, He needs to make us aware of our failure by at least some turmoil in our inward man. In Balaam’s case God even sent His angel with a sword to cut the prophet off while he kept walking after the flesh. If Balaam had not listened to God, the angel would have killed him. As much as we might appreciate God’s grace, we might also see our responsibilty to obey the One who called and saved us because
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (Jn 3:36 ESV)

This story you shared about Balaam, your vision, and the battle between your old ways and obeying God concerning that persistent caller really spoke to me regarding the battle that often goes on in me of my own self-will and the leading of the Spirit. You through the Spirit made the story about Balaam come to life and how it applies to my fleshly struggles. Truly the flesh wars against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh in all of us.
The second picture reminds me of an ornate chalice with its lid in place that I once saw in my Catholic past. The cup that Jesus shared at the last supper was probably one made of clay and very plain, not gold and jewels and such garishness. God uses vessels of clay such as we are so that His glory is all that men can see. It is what’s is inside that counts. This picture also is a lesson of how something as precious as sharing in His cup of suffering as they did that night, can be taken by the flesh and Satan and made something that is totally of this world and Mammon. Religion! What a deception it has become.
As for your vision, I think you have had to (as many of us have) shake off the traditions of men that we are born into or picked up along the way. Paul put it this way, “Be not therefore partakers with them. For you were once darkness, but now are you light in the Lord: walk as children of light:” (Eph 5:7-8, KJ2000) As Peter discovered on his roof top vision in Joppa, the traditions of men” get in the way of the leading of the Spirit. I by nature tend to be a “flag waving” conservative American and there is often a battle within me to obey God instead of following the traditions of my heritage or getting all worked up when something of someone in government goes against them.. When I started out on this walk in the Spirit I had been so strong in my loyalty to “God and country” that my concept of “country” preempted anything that was truly of God. This is a common deception among conservative American Christians. But this is not of God’s Kingdom. Paul put it this way,
“For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Gal 3:27-28, ESV2011)
As followers of Jesus by the leading of His Spirit, God will go after anything that gets in the way of our obedience to His gentle voice. The more that we yield, the more the things that are in our “museum” have to be left behind.
Thanks so much for obeying Him and sharing your experiences in the Spirit with us. These were good insights that He is using to apply in my own heart as well, dear sister.
May He continue to bless you with more and more of His Son shining forth from your heart. Amen!

Thank you very much for your edifying words, Michael. You are welcome as to the obedience and as to the sharing. Thank you also for your kind prayer.
For me this story about Balaam was not alive until yesterday, either. As I could not get rid of those pictures of the museum in my mind after the vision, I checked the whole file from 2017 with all the other photographs I had taken. Somehow I got stuck on this very painting. I remembered that four years ago when I visited the German National Museum with Paul, I felt I HAD TO take that picture, as strange as that appeared to me at first. It seems God spoke to me in November 2017 without words, but yesterday I eventually understood His message. 😊 Furthermore, God nudged me on Friday to also read a few chapters from Numbers, including Balaam’s story. And then I had my aha moment that made the painting and Balaam’s story come alive to me, too. 😉
The lidded bowl, in fact, could really have been a Roman Catholic chalice. But I am not sure since I took other pictures of tea and coffee sets with the same colors and those appeared to have belonged to King Frederick, the Great, who lived in the Palace of Sanssouci in Potsdam, Germany, in the 19th century. But of course, you are right. Not the beautiful outside of the vessel is important, it is the inside of the human vessel that counts. The more the Holy Spirit has filled the human heart and spirit, the more beautiful we are in the eyes of God.
Yes, the traditions of men hinder us to follow God’s timing and wisdom as we ‘know it all better’. It needs the cross to break our old nature with its harshness, coldness, and arrogance into countless pieces which only God can put together as He sees fit in His New Creation, that is, in Christ. It was only recently when I asked God why I could hear His voice now clearer and ‘louder’ than before. His voice is almost on the same ‘loud’ level as the words uttered by other human beings. Although ‘loudness’ is the wrong word, I think, perhaps intensity would describe it better. Therefore I asked Him why did it take me so long to get there? 🙄 He explained it to me in a pretty simple way.
Let’s say God has a plan which He will surely fulfill, but He is the only One who knows all the details about it. Let us also imagine His plan with us human beings would look like a long and absolutely straight line (like the path I had to finally walk in the museum to be set free). As human beings without God, we do not know about this straight line at all as we stumble around in the darkness, not knowing where we go and what will be. When we come to Christ, we receive a little light and, at times, our former crooked ways cross His ‘invisible’ line (plan). At that very moment we FEEL God’s pleasure since we did something according to His will, something that was part of His great plan. Even non-believers stumble over that straight line at times and might feel a certain kind of ‘oneness’ or ‘peace’ of which they do not know where it came from.
If God’s cross could have its way with us and in us, we resist Him less and less with our old self and nature. That also means, the more we surrender to Him, the more often His straight line and our ‘life line’ intersect, touch one another, or even correspond with each other. “The more that we yield, the more the things that are in our “museum” have to be left behind“ as you so rightly pointed out, my brother. If His line and ours are finally one line only, we have reached full maturity in Christ as we are one with Him as well. That day is the day when we can ask God whatever we want because we only want what He wants. Or in other words, “Thy kingdom (is/has) come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” (Mt 6:10 KJV – ‘is/has’ were added by me) God’s kingdom must have come to us personally, that is, we need to experience our personal Pentecost when the Holy Spirit overtakes our whole lives and governs them from then on. Jesus even promised us,
“In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” (Jn 16:23-24 ESV)
May God bless you and keep you, Michael, and may He reveal Himself to you in a way you never expected. Amen!

Interesting enough, Susanne. STST once again. I have been writing out my testimony for the blog as an article that is about my experiences in life being conformed into the image of His Son.
Your illustration of the two lines coinciding as one overlays upon the other is excellent. And the ability to hear His voice clearly in this state explains so much. It is here that we are “in His name” and can ask what we wish because we only want what HE wishes for we are ONE and walking the same line. It is when we are “outside the line” in our thoughts that our prayers don’t get answered, wouldn’t you say? Or maybe some of them ARE being answered but it takes time and we need to patiently wait.
Like this blog article, your reply will bear reading over again for each time God has spoken there are many gems in His words to be considered and taken to heart.
Love you in Him and Jesus in you,
Michael ❤ ❤

STST is always a refreshing experience, Michael. 🙂
Same time, same thought
by the same Holy Spirit!
If God explains something, it is never complicated but easy to understand, I think. And I too thought that His illustration was excellent. You wrote,
“It is here that we are “in His name” and can ask what we wish because we only want what HE wishes for we are ONE and walking the same line. It is when we are “outside the line” in our thoughts that our prayers don’t get answered, wouldn’t you say? Or maybe some of them ARE being answered but it takes time and we need to patiently wait.”
Yes and amen! We both know how often we prayed in the past from “outside the line” and got no answer. Therefore we had and still have to wait for His timing regarding all things, that is, when our line and His finally coincide. To share another experience with you that happened while reading the Book of Numbers yesterday…
You know about my doubts regarding physical healing from post-Covid symptoms, esp. from complete hair loss. Although God promised me before this hair loss really happened that “not a hair of my head should perish”, it happened afterwards. That was a shock for me because I understood His message differently. Even after the first bad hair loss, my hair grew again, and I was relieved. But then all of a sudden, I lost them all! For a half year I fell into depression because of this, you might remember… Nonetheless, yesterday as I read the verses I posted at the beginning of my post for the first time:
“God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?” (Num 23:19 ESV)
I was so deeply touched that I burst into tears, knowing that God had spoken to me again, telling me that He would surely heal me because He had promised it before it really happened. That was such a wonderful encounter with God’s Spirit and with His loving and caring heart!
Love you in Christ and God, too, my dear brother. And I am always very happy when Jesus speaks through you! 🙂

STST means “Same Time, Same Thought”
STST can also happen on a mere soulish level, but I believe it is always a sign that the Holy Spirit offered a thought, an idea, an insight or whatever to two or more people at the same time, regardless of whether they have been together or not. When they find out about this coincidence, they will be surprised and very grateful for God’s inscrutable ways through which He leads them.
Be greatly blessed as to your personal walk by the Spirit, my brother! 🙏🏼🕊️👍🏼

Thanks, Patrick. God truly works in mysterious ways His wonders to preform.
It would have been a lot easier on my soul if Susanne had been a man. 🙂 There has been a lot of dying in both of us over the last eight years. God knew that it would take a fellowship with a sister 5,500 miles away to take me on the next step of this journey. Among other things, He has used Susanne to go deeper and root out the judgments against women that I carried for many years from growing up with my overbearing and narcissistic mother. We went through the first five or six years triggering one another and having to repent.
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1John 1:7, KJ2000)
This is the nature of Spirit-led fellowship in which many collisions happen in our souls when we are close to one another, but that is why John mentions the blood in relationship to Christian fellowship, that we might pray for one another when things come to the surface and be healed. When we are content with “Sunday go to meeting” Christianity we miss out on being fully conformed into the fellowship of the Father and the Son, because we can fake it for an hour or two each week. So sad!
So when He speaks the same thing to us at the same time (STST) it is more than our souls bumping up against one another. It is the an answer to our prayers that we would not fall short of Jesus’ final prayer for ALL who are called into the family of God.
“I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one: I in them and You in Me, in order that they may become one and perfectly united, that the world may know and [definitely] recognize that You sent Me and that You have loved them [even] as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also whom You have entrusted to Me [as Your gift to Me] may be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory, which You have given Me [Your love gift to Me]; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17:22-24, AMP)
May you find this unity of the Father and the Son with those He places you with on your journey, dear brother. God won’t settle for less.
Praise His name forever!

That was an inspiring comment by you again, Michael. 😊
As for STST on the soul level, I think that happens pretty often, in particular with people who have known one another for a very long time. Old couples who have known one another intimately, even though they might not have known God, can be silent together and yet ‘know’ or ‘feel’ intuitively what the other one is thinking. They have obtained a common heart and soul resource over time, so to speak. In this world this phenomenon is called “soul mates”.
As for our spiritual STST, that, of course, has come from God both as an answer to our prayers and because it is part of God’s plan as Patrick so aptly put it,
“Same Time Same Thought”, thank you. It seems like one of the ways the Holy Spirit witnesses to the Lord’s leading among the saints.
Yes, Patrick, it is His leading that is confirmed through STST! Such a confirmation is very uplifting and somehow, it seems to me, it is used to build and strengthen the Body of Christ as well.
Regarding our not-so-easy fellowship in the beginning, Michael, I don’t think it was such a long time of going through triggers and pain, at least not on a permanent basis. Walking in the light also means healing. It appears when we hurt, we want to run. Run from the pain and run from the one who offended us. But walking in His light meant to resist our urge to escape in order that we might get healed! As for the why God put you and me together – as a man and a woman, so to say – I don’t know. But what I remember were two things.
You shared with me that you once met a woman counselor who told you that she could not “help” you any longer. However, there would be a woman in the days ahead who might be able to help you get healed or something similar (you recall her wording better, I guess). That was your prophecy as to our fellowship as it seemed to you and me. Just today God reminded me of my own prophecy regarding this spiritual fellowship with you. I share this for the first time in my life, even on here, as it was a very specific call from God.
In July of the year 2000 as I both had overwhelming experiences with Jesus including a very personal call to be “the bride”, I also ‘heard’ inside me that “the gospel would be preached by a man and a woman together”. Actually, I did not know what to do with that statement that got somehow ‘burned’ into my heart. I knew the woman was me but… who was the man? 🙄
Trying to “fix” my husband afterwards according to my own ideas did not help, trying to find someone here in Germany or later on the internet did not help, either. It was only in October or November of the year 2013 when I came to your blog and had just begun to read the first article by you. After having read only a few introducing words, I FELT IT. Who was Michael Clark? I needed to get to know him since he was the man God told me about before. 😉 Sooo….. after my first response on your blog that included a prophetic poem I had just written, you invited me to post on “A Wilderness Voice” whatever the Spirit would tell me. Neither you nor I had expected that the Holy Spirit led me to even flood your blog with comments in December 2013. So many and lengthy comments that you finally were overwhelmed by them (no wonder!). Therefore you wrote me a few emails, I wrote back, and we both know the rest. 😉
I so appreciate our God-given fellowship, my brother!

Susanne, we have gone through so many of the same things that had to be dealt with even before we could come together IN Christ. And it didn’t end there. It seems to be like that prophesy about Jesus, “And the increase of HIS kingdom there shall be no end.” Once we have given our lives over to Jesus, His kingdom (where HE is King) keeps growing inside of us and crowding out everything in us (in our souls) that is not of Him!
I think that many Christians look at this verse differently than Jesus does…
“But seek you first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matt 6:33, KJ2000)
The two important words in this verse is “first’ and “all.” ALL includes everything. As James wrote,
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” (Jas 1:17, KJ2000)
And in Psalms is this promise,
“Put your life in the hands of the Lord; have faith in him and he will do it.” (Ps 37:5, BBE)
God shows us a vision of what He has for us and we think that just because we are Christians, going to church and tithing, helping out in that church’s ministry, etc. we are “seeking first” His kingdom (Or we set out to build up our own “ministry”). But the fact of the matter is that the kingdom we are seeking was not made by HIM!. This delusion carries on over into other areas in our lives as we grow in Him. For instance, what He told you about, “the gospel would be preached by a man and a woman together.” You knew that the woman would be you, but who was the man?! I had the same desire in my life, though not given by Him in the same words. So in the flesh we both set out to “convert” our spouses so that they would fit this promise. That did not work because we started seeking first our own kingdoms instead of letting HIM add those things that He knew would be needed to fulfill His promises. So we try something on some other person to make it happen. This is so common among people who have the call of God in their lives. It is like Abraham and Sarah deciding that they were too old to have the child He promised so they helped Him out by getting the slave girl pregnant. Our Ishmaels come in many forms and what a burden they become. But how wonderfully different Issac is when God brings him forth in HIS timing without our help! God refuses to use the arm of the flesh to accomplish His purposes! This is why we must enter into His rest and let Him make it happen in HIS timing and after HIS workings in our lives.
So what is next? He lets us experience the taste of what He has for us in His kingdom and we like it soooo much that we get our eyes fixed on that instead of His kingdom where HE is our All in all. This is a near miss. We taste the fruit of His kingdom and start focusing on the fruit instead of keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus and letting the fruit come as we rest in Him.
Talking this out with you on the phone this morning made these thing become so clear. Thank you Jesus for putting Susanne in my life at this time so we can press on into YOUR kingdom by your Spirit and not get off on the wrong road. Amen.
Bless you my dear sister!

Very well put, Michael, I have nothing to add. I am always so grateful to God when He shows up during our time when we fellowship, not the way we expect Him to, but the way and according to the timing HE has chosen. Indeed, we cannot make fellowship happen, either. And I believe that is why:
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.” (Ps 127:1 ESV)
