28/09/2023 Word of the Lord from Emile Luke

The Holy Spirit this morning reminded me in our fellowship time that today is a new day and I need to rejoice and be glad in it because there are things He the Holy Spirit has in store for me that will energize me and propel me into the wonderful good works He has prepared for me to carry out today to glorify Jesus.

I am excited at the prospect of what miracles the Holy Spirit wants to perform on those afflicted by satan and give them a new story of deliverance that will startle men as they observe the mighty power of the Lord in action. As Peter mentioned when introducing Jesus to the house of Cornelius in Acts.10: How Jesus went about doing good healing all who were oppressed of the devil for God was with Him.

Hebrews.13:8 says these words Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This means that when you introduce Jesus to people you should be able to say the same words Peter said because Jesus has not stopped healing all those oppressed of the devil because His hand has not been shortened and cannot now reach people.

No Jesus is still the same and does wonders today just as He did in the time of Peter. We need to remember these facts and choose to represent Jesus correctly through the Holy Spirit.

In the anglican church I started out they did not represent Jesus correctly because they said Jesus had handed over healing to doctors. I questioned this with the Pastors each week they preached this and showed them through scriptures that Luke was a doctor and he recorded all the healings Paul did though he was the doctor and could diagnose sickness.

The good thing is that they never discouraged me from pursuing my faith in the Lord and healing and deliverance which the Holy Spirit was teaching me each day.

Now the Holy Spirit is a Master in confirming truth in the place where people question the ability of Jesus. I got to meet in that very church a Man’s daughter whose eyes were miraculously healed by Smith Wigglesworth in their home which further confirmed to me the reality of what the Holy Spirit was teaching me.

When I met the lady, his daughter who had perfect eyesight at the present time she said she could not attend the Anglican church because she knew she was healed and could not sit and listen to those who question what she had experienced and cut it down.

This reminds me of the blind man healed in John’s gospel who the Chief Priests threw out because he would not agree with them that Jesus was a sinner after having been healed by Jesus and saw for the first time in his life and was excited about what Jesus had done to free him.

I also left because I was manifesting more of the Holy Spirit and could not express it. That did not deter the Holy Spirit because He just went on to manifest through my life the healing power of Jesus in nations to release people from the oppression of the devil which Jesus is Master over.

You ask why do I share these experiences? To make you certain of the reality of the Jesus you serve because He is real and has and will never change what He does which is to heal all oppressed of the devil.

In Chicago that morning I filled that home I was staying with prayer and awaited what the Holy Spirit would do that day. That same morning in a Church in Joliet I attended a service there and I saw the former Pastor in a wheelchair and I asked the present pastor if I could pray for Him because I was angry that a servant of God was paralyzed.

When I started praying for the Pastor the new pastor confessed to me and his congregation that he doubted the pastor would be healed and took the opportunity to repent and tell his people that Jesus had visited that church that day and they had rejected Him just like the pharisees did and he openly repented and invited me to pray for all the sick in the Church that morning and we had a healing service with healings all around and it was a beautiful sight to behold as people went from doubt and unbelief to receiving healing which became the new ethos of that Church. Healing and deliverance.

They even gave me an honorable offering though I was not the guest speaker but an attendee at the end and became a friend to that Pastor who sought me for spiritual counsel.

I pray today that as you hear these words your trust in Jesus as the Healer will be stirred back into reality and you will find grace in these words to activate you back in your pursuit to represent Jesus again in truth demonstrating Him as He is: the Healer of all oppressed of the devil.

May your hearts be stirred to take hold of your inheritance in Jesus and become a true representation of Jesus through signs, wonders and miracles which He ordained for you to walk in to glorify His name.

You watch and see what will happen in your life as you receive and accept the words of Jesus to you and run after Him by surrendering to His program rather than man’s religion that limits and binds you to bondage in Jesus name. Amen.

It is delightful to have a friend who always keeps you informed on the truth, so you can overcome and defeat any lie anytime. Well my precious ones, that friend is the Holy Spirit and He wants you to experience the whole truth in every situation in life so you are constantly walking in freedom because knowing the truth makes you free. In my fellowship time with the Holy Spirit this morning He shared with me more things about His nature and characteristics. His way of doing things and how to cooperate more with Him to gain better results in quicker time with less effort in the rest which He supplies for us to achieve for God.

We need to remind ourselves that Jesus has already done everything necessary for us to reign as kings in this life. We have the responsibility to yield to the plan the Holy Spirit has and surrender to the walk necessary to bring about the answer of victory.

We just have to yield to the voice of the Holy Spirit to accomplish the heart of the Lord.In Ephesians.2:10 we read these beautiful words Paul learnt from the Holy Spirit by revelation For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. The power behind these words are very revealing and should make you ecstatic and joyous to know this fact.

If we are the workmanship of God then there is no deficiency in us because God has no deficient materials He uses to build anything.

Look around you: what has God created that has failed to do what God made it to do including seeds that planted become trees which in due season become producers of fruit. Check out the sun that comes out each day and supplies both heat and light and even vitamin d without fail since its inception when God placed it in operation without ever breaking down or losing its power or energy and running out of fuel.

Now you are the workmanship of God created in Christ Jesus. What did Christ Jesus do? He went about doing good healing all who were oppressed of the devil for God was with Him. In like manner because you also are the handiwork of the Lord created in the same image of Jesus with the same might and power He walked in to carry out good works which He prepared for you to do which you should walk in.

How should that fail when God never fails.We need to trust the Holy Spirit more. We need to submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit for God to work those good things He prepared for us to do beforehand.

I remember the first day I laid hands on a sick person and they got healed. It was a glorious experience because the person went from pain to ecstasy in a moment as the healing virtue of God touched them. The Holy Spirit was pleased I could begin to work and operate in the things of healing that Jesus had prepared for me to experience to glorify His name.

The Holy Spirit remains the same and wants us to experience His mighty power working through us in greater dimensions. I recall when in Botswana I had a day when I had agreed to see so many people to counsel them individually on things they needed answers from the Lord on and that morning the Holy Spirit said cancel all appointments and tell them to come to the evening meeting and they will have the answers to all their dilemmas.

I spent that whole day with the Holy Spirit as opposed to my morning fellowship time and only came out to attend the meeting.

That Day after the worship time I led the Holy Spirit did what I could not and healed and gave answers to all I was to see privately and more without me having to lay a hand on anyone and I learnt a lesson of the Holy Spirit being able to do far more with me than I alone laying hands. I left that meeting more energized with so many God miracles allowing the Holy Spirit to do the work only He can do and go with Him on the ride.

To this day that is how the Holy Spirit still works the miraculous in and through my life.

I pray today as you hear these words which are meant for your enrichment and edification you will step into the grace the Holy Spirit has available for you and begin to function in the good works which God prepared for you to walk in because you also are His workmanship created for signs and wonders to be wrought through your lives.

Surrender your heart to function in the way of the Lord. Give the Holy Spirit your thoughts and ask Him to purge your conscience from every dead work so you can serve the Lord again in Spirit and in truth in Jesus Name. Amen.

Holy Spirit this morning I welcome you into my life and I give you full permission to govern the affairs of my life today. I donate my body to you to express the will of Jesus through me. I give you my heart and I give you my soul and I choose to live for You alone, so let every breath I take and every moment I am awake You Holy Spirit have your way in me. Let my life only reflect Jesus today and let me be a perfect example of His character lived out for men to see.

I realized again afresh  this morning how much it is necessary that I keep open to new truths the Holy Spirit has available each morning to impart to empower me for the daily tasks of each day.

 The Holy Spirit pointed out to me that I need to pick up the fragments of the works He did in the past seasons of my life and hand them over to Him because they contain the seed of His power and allow Him to recreate the full measure of glory the Lord purposed to work out in and through me in this present season. 

“The Holy Spirit is a master builder and knows exactly what material is necessary to rebuild the Temple of the Lord, whose bodies we are and our lives are to the Lord.” 

We are the Temple of the Holy Spirit and only He knows exactly what is necessary to rebuild the Temple to the standard required for us to function in the place we were created to walk in which will glorify Jesus.

 “The clay never determines what the Potter will make of it.”

 “The clay will be crafted and made to serve the purpose of the Potter who knows exactly the purpose for each vessel He wants to create and how it should function to glorify the Potter.”

 “We need to surrender more and more to the Holy Spirit and stop fighting His guidance and direction for what men say and recommend we should be.”

“ We are not clones of men’s ministries but products of the Holy Spirit.”

“ Your life was not created to give credence to the effectiveness of the discipleship of a well known and trusted ministry but to serve the purpose of God on earth.”

 In Acts.13:2 we read these beautiful words As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Paul and Barnabas were doing a great work equipping the saints in Antioch over a certain period of time but notice when that time of training was completed the Holy Spirit said separate  Paul and Barnabas to the work I called them to do which was outside the confines of the Church so they had to leave church circles to see that word fulfilled regardless of their years of work in the Church. 

The purpose of the Holy Spirit in the life of Paul and Barnabas was never going to be manifested with them ministering in that Church vicinity. They needed to be guided by the Holy Spirit not the Church board on where to go and reach for the Kingdom to fulfill the plan of God for their lives.

If you look further down chapter 13 of Acts you will see a new authority working in Paul and Barnabas and the miraculous demonstration through them at a much greater level that influenced regions and heads in government positions of authority as they went in the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Sergius Paulus the ProConsul was impacted by their ministry and saw the teaching of the Lord defeat sorcery in real terms and could make a choice for Jesus on real facts of a real tangible miracle that could not be denied. 

Today I believe the Holy Spirit wants to free you from blocks and barriers you have submitted to that are hindering your forward movement in the Spirit and have reduced you to mere teaching posts that are eating into the fabric of your lives as you know there is much more to your call and destiny but you feel trapped. Well the Holy Spirit is sharing this word to you today to make available fresh grace to step out into trusting the leading and guiding of the Holy Spirit back to the place where His miraculous Presence begins to lead and guide you to impact the Nations and people He ordained for you to reach for His glory.

Take the step forward in the Holy Spirit. He is faithful and will only guide you into truth which will free you. His only goal is your walking in the perfect will of God specifically ordained for your individual life, nothing else. He does nothing for His benefit but only for the glory of Jesus so you can trust His judgments on your behalf. They will only position you for what Jesus purposed and planned for you to inherit for His glory.  

So get up and out of bondage and walk in the liberty of the Holy Spirit which is before you in Jesus name. Amen

This morning the Holy Spirit spoke a word through me from Colossians.3 that came through clearly in my view and captivated my whole being. The Holy Spirit has many ways in which He conveys messages to us to get our attention on what really matters and ensure that we are keeping up with Him and not lagging back.

The Holy Spirit is such a perfect mentor who knows exactly what you need when you need it and has the power available to make what is needed available for you in an instant to manifest it for your benefit.Thank you Jesus for the indescribable gift of the Holy Spirit to be the support, help and aid we need to succeed in life and be productive for the glory of Jesus.

Let us look at the scripture the Holy spirit quickened to me Colossians.3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

You say well I know Christ dwells or lives in me so what is new and special about that? I will explain what the Holy Spirit wanted to further enlarge of the truth in me about the word of the Lord. We first of all see that we are the ones who must give permission to the word of Christ to dwell in us.

How we choose to see or interpret the word of the Lord and apply it to our lives will determine how it will impact us. You could say let the word of Christ dwell poorly in you in foolishness, complaining, and negative words just causing you harm and affecting others negatively bringing disrepute to Jesus’ name and we see so much of that in the lives of believers.

It is our choice to let the word of Christ dwell richly in us by our diligence in confessing that word continually and meditating on it over and over again till it actually starts dwelling, living and breathing in and through us.

The Holy Spirit reminder is to awaken us back to increasing our confession and meditation which gives Him more room and scope in us to perform the word of Christ in our lives. We need to deny ourselves daily, not just weekly or monthly and take up our cross and follow Jesus. You cannot follow Jesus by leading Him and directing the path forward.

“How we respond to the word of Christ in you today will determine how much it will live, work and abide in us for this today.”

“We need to allow the word to richly impact our lives. We need to receive it as rich and more valuable than our daily food and clothing needs and pursue it faithfully rather than resources for our selves.”

Remember that Jesus said take heed how you hear the word, because the measure you use will be measured back to you, meaning that the value you place on it will determine how much it will benefit you. If you don’t allow it to influence your decisions daily it will not change things for you.

“We are the determiners of how much the word of Christ will benefit us.”

So if you are unhappy with your results then change the way you see and value the Word of Christ in your individual life and do what is necessary by your confession and meditation to increase its potency in you.

The Holy Spirit will not force the word of Christ on you, but can guide you, lead you if you will, to the pertinent word. However if you will not follow Him, He will not make it happen for you without your consent, agreement and cooperation and what you want from hearing it.

I am conscious that the Holy Spirit was wanting me to up my confessions and meditation on the Word of Christ to me today because there are things that will need me to be at my strongest spiritually to overcome so I will have maximum benefits of what the Lord wants to accomplish through me today and in this season which require the strength of the word of Christ richly dwelling, residing in me so the Holy Spirit can use them in me to accomplish what He planned and purposed for me to do for the glory of His name.

The phrase God gave Joshua in his commission to only be strong and courageous. Well the Lord had already pointed out to Joshua that meditation day and night on His word would achieve that strength in Joshua which would enable him to observe what to do as the word of Christ took hold within him richly.

“This process of daily allowing or permitting the word of Christ to dwell, reside and abide in you richly will always determine what the Holy Spirit will be able to accomplish through you for Jesus on any occasion in life.”

My prayer for you today is that as you hear these words and take them to heart, grace through them will propel you to richly value the worth of what Christ spoke beyond anything that you knew or understood before and make you a recipient of the non ending Might of the power of the Most High to work out extraordinary signs, wonders and miracles on your behalf to glorify Jesus and His name in your life.

I will deal with the other aspects of this word in future posts so the full benefit of the word of the Lord will be available to you and all of its out workings will be made a reality in your daily lives as richly as the Holy Spirit wants and desires you to experience in Jesus name. Amen.
