The Holy Spirit this morning in our time together reminded me that it is Jesus who determined to show us off as His companions on the earth. Jesus is the person who decided the kind of glory He wanted us to be the revealers of on the earth. The Holy Spirit pointed out to me that we need to have the right perspective on the position God has made us sit in the heavenly places with Him, so that we do not let the lies and deception of satan rob us of what is available for us to walk in and through false humility cost us the very manifestation of the benefits God has made available for us.

Let us look at what God says about us in Ephesians.2:4-7 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Every word spoken here is what the Father purposed that we His children should walk in regardless of the state we were in before. The great love of the Father in releasing Jesus to die on our behalf was not accomplished when we were perfected,but actually when we were dead in trespasses. He chose to make us alive with Christ. He proceeded to raise us up together with Christ, not put us down, which is the intent of the enemy to disqualify us and make us feel small and unqualified to share in what God has freely given us so we reflect shame and disgrace to the name of the Lord.

The operation of grace means we are given the ability by God to have supernatural strength to be and do what only God can do. You would have noted now that each time I write a post in the words given me by the Holy Spirit there is a grace released to the hearer which if you take will enable you to walk and live out what God has promised.

The Apostle Paul who penned down the words we are looking at today from Ephesians was a blasphemer of this very Jesus, who He now says that because of the operation of grace which Paul received, can now walk in a place where the glory of the Lord so overshadows his life that even the close friends of Jesus are startled at that reality.

Paul goes on to manifest Jesus in such a way in Acts.19:11&12 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.

Can you imagine demons leaving at the sight of a handkerchief or apron with no one speaking violently to them commanding them to leave from the body of a former blasphemer of Jesus, Paul. The effectiveness of the grace of God which we need to understand more and utilize in our lives through the Holy Spirit, the giver of such grace, will position us to experience the full scope of the promises of God to us. Verse.7 of Ephesians.2 explains the fullness of what the Holy Spirit wants me to convey to you. God wants to show you of by demonstrating a show through your life what is the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness towards you in the ages to come.

A never ending show of Gods exceeding greatness of grace for men to see and marvel at how awesome our God is to do such wonders through our lives. The Lord has no problems doing greater works through our lives. He wants us to share His nature and Jesus always encouraged His followers to have and do greater works than He did. Jesus cursed the fig tree in Mark.11 but invited Peter and whoever heard those words to speak to mountains and command them to move and see them move because of words they spoke.

The Holy Spirit wants you to know without a shadow of doubt that He wants to work miracles, signs and wonders through your life so that the name of Jesus will be seen and made known through vessels of clay so that the excellency of the power may be of God and not men for all to see.

I pray today that as you hear these words and receive them because in John.1:12&13 it reads But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Your receiving the words of Jesus will make them become active and alive in your life. The Grace will then flow towards you and you will become a New person.

Everything God wants to show through your life will be made manifest because you believed and received in your heart what the Holy Spirit is saying through this word to you today.

Forget about yesterday because with God it is always about today when you hear His voice and respond a new dawning of life and light begins. May your life take the shape of the show the Father has planned for you and may you reflect His glory on the earth for men to see and glorify His name in Jesus name. Amen.
