This morning the Holy Spirit spoke to me in my time with Him about walking in the full scope of His love working within my heart so that the limitless love of Jesus would exude through me for people to see and know exactly  who God is.

It is pretty amazing what the Lord has in store for us in this season of life and we need to zero in on His timetable and not allow the distractions of buffeting and trials and temptations to occupy our time and energy but focus our energy and time of making sure we are walking in step with the Holy Spirit to lay hold of God’s ordained plan for us.

The Holy Spirit spoke to me this morning about my soul becoming more willing to wait on Him before taking action. He pointed out that our souls always want to react and respond quickly to things and this causes us to make mistakes and answer prematurely and hence loose the plan God intended. We need to train our souls to wait and our mouths to refrain He said from quick responses and wait for direction and life giving words to speak. He reminded me of the occasion in John where the lady caught in adultery was brought before Jesus and they wanted Him to respond in the immediate, but Jesus just paused and let the Holy Spirit answer through Him rather than blot out a response that could have hurt Him. He reminded me that though they kept pressing Jesus for an answer Jesus switched of until the Holy Spirit gave him words to speak which silenced the whole moment and brought unusual results in dismantling the accusing crowd and left Him with the accused victim. It enabled me to repent of many occasions I had been too hasty to give an answer that went wrong and I was able to relook at those matters and correct my perception at those times and see my wrong which I could now correct. I don’t know of any teacher that is able to correct with such distinction and class as the Holy Spirit. This word has enabled me to understand why the enemy always wants us to blot out things prematurely so that we give him room in our matters and allow him scope to destroy a potential God situation and ruin it. We need to remember to be slow to speak and swift to listen. He reminded me that not speaking means non committal but once I have spoken I have indicated my choice and will have to live with it. This God principle He pointed out I should adopt will free me from many a problem and difficulty. He pointed out to me that no matter the pressure, fear of loss and the missing of a lifetime opportunity I must wait for Him and only respond with His decision and words not mine. So today I encourage you to slow down in your responses and wait on the Holy Spirit before you blab out what will hurt you. Speak to your soul to calm down and wait on the Lord and you will be strengthened in the Lord and the power of His might. Let grace arise in your soul today to gain the greater in God rather than loss because of wrong untimely responses which breed sorrow. May your day be victorious and triumphant as you yield to these words from the Spirit in Jesus’ name. Amen.
