Month: November 2023 (Page 1 of 3)

This morning in my fellowship time with the Holy Spirit, I was reminded of the conversation I had with Him yesterday as I was out. In the conversation He had spoken to me about my conscience having been purged from dead works to serve Him the living God.

His emphasis was on what actually the blood of Jesus had already done for us and how we needed to use these facts/ reality to enable us to walk free. Satan constantly defeats us because we have no certainty of our facts when he raises an opposition and we start to wane because we are not steadfast in our believing of the truth. Remember no lie can stand in the face of the truth.

The Apostle Peter tells us in 1 Peter.5:8&9 to Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

You notice that the emphasis of Peter is that we must resist the devil steadfast in the faith while remaining sober and vigilant. Keeping watch for insertions of lies and accusations satan will use through human vessels to break us. Well faith comes by our hearing what the Lord says through His word and applying it to our lives regardless of what seeks to oppose that word till it breaks through on our behalf.

Well the Holy Spirit was speaking to me on what being purged from dead works actually means and how this must be applied to gain the maximum benefits of what the blood of Jesus actually accomplished on our behalf. Purging is a purification and removal of what is there which then makes the vessel free from whatever defilement that was present so the vessel can be refilled with a new substance in this case the Presence and power of God.

The Holy Spirit pointed out emphatically that when we repent of sins and trespasses we have committed, He is faithful and just to forgive us of those errors and cleanse us from all unrighteousness and purge our consciences from those dead works so we are back in position to serve the purpose of God in our lives.

He then went on to explain to me that if I went on to remember what had infiltrated my conscience and bring it back to light, or my conversation, even if people are used to accuse and remind me of those past sins. I need to stay away from letting those thoughts back in my mind as it would amount to going back to my vomit and trying to eat it back.

He then reminded me of the process in life with food when we take a purge and the purpose of it. Which is to remove every trace of what we ate from our bodies so all germs are removed and the stomach is cleansed and free again to begin to function correctly. This time free from all that was there through the purge which removed that content either by vomiting or defecating.

Well let us look at the scripture which He pointed out to me Hebrews.9:14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? How much do we value what the blood of Jesus did for us as a perfect purge?

If we trust what a natural purge does for our stomachs how much more should we trust what Jesus did who left heaven on our behalf to give His blood for us to have life. We need to emphasize and highlight vigorously the power available in the blood of Jesus working on our behalf.

The Holy Spirit went on to remind me that regardless of what offense, whatever the sin had created once he clears us we are clear. We then need to react and respond as though it never ever happened as it is gone, buried for good as though it never existed. He reminded me of the scripture in 2 Corinthians.5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Old things have passed away, that is they are no longer in existence and all things are new.

Remember if you are in Christ, not yourself or your righteous deeds, but in Christ then all things become new. This indicates that to go back into the sin and meditate on it and allow it to pollute you again is like going back to your vomit to feed on it again. This would amount to engaging in evil. Let us never be found in that place siding with our enemy.

The Holy Spirit was very emphatic about laying hold of the truth and reality of this word as it is vital in our arsenal to rebuke and resist the accusation of the enemy through our brethren because it alone is our grounds of freedom that Christ’s blood achieved on our behalf.

This is how we overcome satan with the word of what the blood of Jesus did for us. Revelation.12.11 1 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. Our Personal confession of what the blood of Jesus accomplished for us is our testimony to overcome every assault of the enemy.

Today I am sharing this with you so that you will walk in the grace of this word to resist the ferocious assault of the enemy on you over your former sins and misdoings which keep coming to the surface to hinder your forward movement as reminders from satan of your past failures.

Satan is not going to back down so you are going to have to resist Him steadfast in this truth and he will have no choice but to leave you because the Blood of Jesus destroyed his power and position and all you need to do is enforce your triumph in Jesus’s blood.

So rise up today, lay hold and full claim to what the blood of Jesus did to purge your conscience from dead works so you will serve the purpose of Jesus on earth and not be a statistic of defeat to the enemy of your soul in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He pointed out to me the importance of understanding the correction He gives us. We are to correctly discern His intent and purpose in correction and evaluate accurately what the Holy Spirit intends for our lives which is to build us up and walk us away from the things that hurt and harm our progress in the pursuit of the Kingdom mandate the Lord has for our lives.

So today take hold of these truths and re-calibrate your status with the Lord and ensure you are only allowing His correction and not condemnation be the guide in your life and pursuit of His plan for your life in Jesus name. Amen.

I have found that the Holy Spirit loves to correct us through edifying words rather than words of condemnation. I noticed that Jesus always used parables to correct people’s mindsets and thought patterns so that they, through those words could identify their errors and make the necessary adjustments and find the way of repentance to come back to the relationship with the Lord.

The Lord is always more interested in us moving forward than dwelling on the past particularly when the lessons have been learnt through the words of correction we submit to.

The Holy Spirit always wants us to know our heart and the things that make us do what we do. In other words He wants us to know what motivates us and why we yield to what we yield to because when we own our mistakes and make the right corrections on them, we are truly free because we know the truth and since it is the truth we know that makes us free we will be free indeed. Owning the truth.

So I will share today a situation with you in the bible where a refusal to deal with the truth cost a God servant to lose out on God’s best because he refused to own the truth and make the necessary adjustments that could have changed the course of his and his family’s life.

The Holy Spirit wants me to bring to the table the life of King Jehoshaphat. In 2 chronicles.19:1-3 we read of a warning given to him by a seer after he goes on a battle with king Ahab who the Lord describes as a wicked hater of God whom you helped and for that reason the wrath of God is against you.

In other words God points out that you have done wrong and wrath is set against you because you came into agreement with a wicked evil doer, hater of God so repent and turn which he doesn’t do because kind words of the other good he has done cause him to not feel the need to make the adjustment because his good was acknowledged.

Remember:

Never fall into that trap regardless of what good you have done. God tests the intent and purpose of your hearts and that will determine your end results on that. He goes on to ignore the warning and that wrath begins stirring up in his house.

In 2 chronicles.20:35-37 Again He allies with those God describes as haters of God Ahab’s son now and God destroys his works using a prophet to speak to him about this trend of working and allying with enemies from God’s perspective. In 2 chronicles.21:4 we see that wrath of God manifested when his son as King, having replaced him, kill his brothers after how honorably Jehoshaphat had shared their inheritance before he died in 2 chronicles.21:3. It will benefit you to read all the accounts in these chapters of 2 Chronicles.20&21 and 1 Kings.15-22 to have the fuller picture.

What the Holy Spirit wants made clear is that our thoughts on things and relationships is not what determines outcomes but what God says and our willingness to change with His perspective that will determine our end result. How does a man who walked that level of righteousness have a family where brother kills brother and Ahab who did such wickedness have a family where brothers help one another and live on until the Lord steps in to destroy them?

Because of intermingling with wickedness and refusing to repent and change when warned, the conclusion of a righteous man is death and destruction for him and his family when the reward for righteousness is deliverance from death. This is exactly what balaam suggested to balak would bring down Israel if they intermingle they can and will be reduced to nothing.

May you selah on this reality and make the decision to follow and obey the dictates of the Holy Spirit regardless of what you see or perceive from natural events and heed and make and take decisive action to repent and turn from error when the Lord speaks this to you and quit the excuses that they are brethren and I have to support them.

I pray that today that from seeing the reality of truth from these words you will find the grace from the Holy Spirit necessary to protect you and guide you to walk circumspectly so that you do not lose out on your reward because of ignorance in your helping of those you are not to help, because they petition you and seem to need you and, you side evil and compromise your own heritage and the ensuing rewards that are tied with it and end up on the losing side. May that never be your portion in Jesus’ name. Amen.

I conclude with this word from 2 John.8 Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Let that be your portion for serving the Living God in Jesus’ name. Amen.

In my fellowship time this morning the Holy Spirit reminded me of how valuable we are to Him on earth and how without our agreement there is little he can do on the earth to change things. We need to be more conscious of our responsibility to establish the Kingdom of Jesus rather than fearing how satan is attacking us and fighting against us.

So take these words and allow them to saturate your hearts and minds and get back into the triumph zone of the Holy Spirit and establish the expansion of the Kingdom of Jesus on the earth for men to see and marvel. Let men be turned from darkness to light through your life in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants you to know today just how valuable you are to the Father of lights in whom there is no variation and shadow of turning. You must awaken to who God wants you to be and has created you to be for His glory.

You are no longer a sinner saved by grace but you are the son/daughter of your Father of glory. You were created for glory not shame or disgrace. You were created to reflect who God is to nations of people and demonstrate His power for all to see and know who God is. The father of glory.

You have wondered why so many attacks and assaults have been launched against you as you are not very relevant or important in the scope of things on earth. Well wake up to reality no one launches nuclear weapons against a small insignificant village they want to destroy. If such heavy duty equipment is being launched against you it is because the enemy knows what is with you is far greater than you see and know.

He is taking no chances on accepting defeat by using his strongest weapons to intimidate you to surrender so that what God intended and purposed for you will not become your reality. You need to arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon your life. Isaiah.60:1.

You cannot sit there saying I am nothing when you need to be arising and saying and doing what the Lord ordained for you to do in this time which is to reflect His glory on the earth.

The Holy Spirit emphasizes to you that you are chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar person, called to proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light, who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. 1 Peter.2:9&10. This is who you are regardless of what you think, feel or presume or believe.

“You must change and line up with who God says that you are because that is your identity.”

What the Father says you are is your true identity. Never forget that reality.

When the Lord approached Gideon in the book of Judges.6:12 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!” Now the reality was that Gideon was in fear threshing wheat in a wine press but the Lord does not address that Gideon, infused with lies, but the one He has chosen and appointed to bring down Midian.

Mighty man of valor Gideon thought! What have I done or am I doing that qualifies me to be called that, the Lord is not with me and we are nothing but slaves under tyrants. If God was really here there would be proof of that.

God spoke into Gideon who he was from the Lord’s perspective and not the failures of the past, because from that day onwards the name Gideon was associated with victory after victory and triumph galore and he did bring down midian as one man and became a great ambassador for the kingdom of God and a force to be reckoned with in Israel.

Well in like manner this morning the Lord is awakening you to who you really are in Him and the plan He has to use you to establish for Him on earth and, as Gideon how you need to change and accept who God says you are and drop the lies of failure and nothingness of person, and shine out what God has intended and purposed for you to do and get busy doing so.

This is so that lives can be changed and come into the radiance of who God really is and manifest His glory on earth for men to see and be transformed into vessels of glory.

Throw off the shackles of defeat and clothes of shame and as blind Bartimaeus did come to Jesus with a fresh view of who He says you are and not what men and situations say you are a failure. You are a chosen one and you will reflect and demonstrate the praises of Him who has called you out from darkness into marvelous light that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

Let these words infuse you with the grace to get up and start walking in this reality and bring glory to your Father in heaven through and by the power of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit as I worshiped the Lord in the beauty of His Holiness. The Holy Spirit began speaking to me about living in the realm of having been born anew in the Spirit of my heavenly Father rather than having been born into the earth by my natural Dad.

There is a huge difference and many times as iniquity tries to overwhelm us through accusation of satan, the Holy Spirit reminds us of whose we are and whom we serve. The word talks about workers of iniquity who use the iniquity in your background to rob you of the blessings of the Lord. We as having been born anew by the Spirit of the Lord need to know our rightful position as children of the Most High God and walk in that authority.

In John.1:13 &14 we read these life changing words of truth : 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.

Now let us meditate on this truth for our lives and change our minds, convert our hearts and allow these facts to be the reality in our everyday lives on earth as this was the very reason Christ Jesus came to give us this opportunity to change our existence on earth. This is because we could not birth ourselves and each have parents who have iniquity and we had no power to change ourselves and free ourselves from the iniquity in our families. However when we choose Jesus as our Lord and Savior we are born afresh with a completely different heritage as John points out here.

The rights we have in life determine the kind of life we have and what is available to us to live from. Now when we become children of God we have the rights and privileges to enjoy and experience all that is available in our Fathers house. Firstly in our Fathers house there is liberty from every oppression of the devil and a separation from sin and iniquity because our elder brother Jesus removed every handwriting of requirements that were written against us by removing them from our lives through the forgiveness of our sins.

Jesus did not forgive us after we repented because He replaced us by becoming sin and iniquity for us and taking the punishment on our behalf so we could be free once and for all.

Just for an eternal minute remember that on the night Jesus was betrayed and denied by His followers He took bread, blessed it and broke it saying “This is my body which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.” Then He took the cup and said “ This is the New Covenant in Blood shed for you and many for the remission of your sins. Do this in remembrance of Me.”

These statements give us the right to experience everything Jesus did for us. He came to save us from our enemies and the power of those who hate us. Not to condemn us because we were already condemned and subject to death. He came that we should begin to experience life which sin had robbed us of. We were experiencing the wages of sin which is death and Jesus paid the price for us to now experience the wages of righteousness which is life and that more abundantly.

When the accuser of the brethren satan comes after us he seeks to bring us out of the place of security that Christ purchased for us and use the iniquity of our natural heritage to attack our minds.

However the Holy Spirit comes to our rescue by reminding us of the One who has freed us and given us the power to walk in absolute freedom from every oppression that seeks to torment us. The word the Holy Spirit brings us is what we must pay attention to and use as our answer to every accusing thoughts and darts of the enemy to completely quench their mission sent to weaken and rob us of our God given rights and privileges.

Let us meditate on some of the realities of what Christ did for us. In Acts.3:19-21 and Acts.3:26 we read these words. Allow your hearts and minds to be completely saturated with these truths so you continually walk in them : Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, 21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. 26: To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”

We see Peter explain to us that our responsibility is to repent so that we can experience our sins being blotted out and receiving a new refreshing from the Presence of the Lord. This refreshing from God’s Presence is to position us to have a restoration of all things we have lost in life and then turned away from our iniquities and experience the blessing of the Lord which makes us rich and adds no sorrow.

Walking in a place where sorrow and sighing flee away from our environment. Jesus has made all these facts/truths available and we need to repent and then receive and embrace them wholeheartedly and go on to partake of them in the now of life. We become workers of righteousness and fruit bearers of righteousness that delivers from death.

Let me take you a step further in what the Holy Spirit ministered to me from the word this morning to completely establish your foundation on the truth of who and what Jesus means and is towards you in everyday life.

In Romans.8:3 &4 the Apostle Paul writes these words which lift the soul to rapturous splendor of the reality of our position in the Lord : For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

The righteous requirement of the law is fulfilled in us who walk in the Spirit. Everything God said we need to experience the blessing has been fulfilled in us when we walk in the Spirit so blessings will come upon us and overtake us as in Deuteronomy.28:1-14 and the more Jesus added on our behalf.

Rejoice because you are the fulfillment of what God promised through Jesus therefore you cannot but win and triumph in all things that pertain to your life and godliness. Let this reality be your sword of offense against the enemy.

One more promised and accomplished word to close out the word of the Lord for today that should refresh, empower and enable you to have complete triumph in all things in life and bring conclusion to outstanding situations that require resolution in your favor.

In Colossians.2:13-15 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. Here again we see that Jesus has removed out of the way all trespasses and wiped out which is the key word, the handwriting of requirements that were written against us ever succeeding and triumphing in life.

They have been removed from blocking us and we are no longer subject to principalities and powers but to the ever present triumphing power of the Holy Spirit to experience the life and that in its fullest measure Jesus paid for us to experience in the now of life so His name is glorified in our lives. Jesus has made us more than Conquerors through His never failing love and loyalty to our triumph in life.

As you take hold of these truths and facts today because they have already happened. They are not promises you are hoping God will do. They have already been accomplished and you now need to receive them working in you now as you hear them and experience what Christ Jesus purchased for you.

Lay hold of every grace supplied through these words today and experience the full measure of everything contained in them as it is the Father’s good pleasure for you to have the Kingdom working on your behalf always and in all circumstances.

May you be completely enriched and empowered in your walk in the Lord going forward in Jesus name and see the miraculous as normal in your daily experience in life in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit in my communion time with Him this morning encouraged me about expecting Him to do things that defy natural circumstances to prove His ability as the Creator and Owner of all things so I have a glorious story to tell of His magnificence in working on behalf of His Own inheritance on this earth for men to marvel.

Allow this word from the Holy Spirit to recover your implicit trust and reliance on the ability of the Most High to act supernaturally on your behalf and produce stupendous results which cause men to be startled by the sheer scope of the Lord’s power.

The Holy Spirit desires today that you have recognition of the fact that He is able to make out of the most horrific circumstances beauty and give you a solution that defies all human comprehension and puts you in the place of advantage. He reminded me this morning that in most of the worst case scenarios in the bible we see some of the most remarkable turnarounds which leave the audience startled by how the Lord so easily changes events that leaves us speechless in Awe of His ability to make changes.

Well first of all we need to remember that the Lord pointed out that in His Presence He gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did. Romans.4:17. This makes it clear that the Lord never looks at the impossibilities that are present before us but His ability to make instant changes on our behalf and bring beauty out of ashes.

The Holy Spirit reminds me of Jesus at the house of Jairus when He arrives and all the mourners are shouting and crying about the death of his daughter and Jesus says she is not dead but only sleeping. We are told that once Jesus uttered those words they laughed Him to scorn. What a startling change they go from such weeping and sorrow to laughing with scorn because someone offers a different viewpoint He is sure of.

Well Jesus just throws them all out and proceeds to turn that disaster and death to resurrection and life as He commands the little girl to wake up and she responds by waking up. Would you be willing for Jesus to do that in your house? Throw out the doubters including family so you can receive? Food for thought!

You know Jesus has such a wonderful sense of humor because He goes on to tell them to tell no one what has happened. There is no funeral and no body to bury after all the noise those mourners made, so where is the girl who all knew was dead. She is running around playing for all to see and Jesus says don’t tell. The miracle always speaks itself and sometimes our conversation just spoils it. How do you hold back such a beautiful story?

Jesus responded from His view of resurrection not death as with God He does not see death but life which He is and Has and goes on to prove it. I am so thankful that I serve a God who can do what He says and perform what He has spoken.

Let me proceed to share the scriptures and lessons the Holy Spirit wants you to see and believe so you can walk in these realities of how God views situations and gives instant solutions that turnaround disasters and bring forth marvels. In 2 Kings.6&7 we see such a dire situation in a Nation which is devastated to a point where children are used as food to cook and eat.

I asked the Lord were there no animals, vegetables, fruits they could eat rather than use human children ? Well in chapter.7:1 Elisha tells what the Lord will do tomorrow about a national crisis. The price of food would be sold the next day, and a man says if even heavens windows are open could this possibly happen? Elisha tells him you will see it happen but will not enjoy its benefit because you questioned God’s ability.

Well God didn’t need to open heaven but only needed a band of four lepers to carry out His plan which happened exactly as Elisha said including the removal of the man who doubted. We need to see from the Holy Spirit’s vantage point and allow Him to work.

The way the Lord saw that matter was I will change it in such a way people will marvel at how that was possible and glorify My name for the marvel accomplished. It did not matter how grave the situation was, God could change it overnight and we have to come to the point in our lives where we will begin to see the Lord from His perspective and not the limitations we have put on His ability to do. As He pointed out to Israel you always limited the Holy One.

It is time to remove the limitations we have ascribed to God and begin to see from His perspective what He is able to do and that is exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask or think according to His power at work in us. Ephesians.3:20.Let this be your new framework mindset trusting God for more than you can imagine because that is only a small thing for the Holy Spirit to accomplish.

We need to expand our capacity to believe as Isaiah.54 says and become fluid and responsive to expect far more of His miraculous power at work on our behalf. In John.6 Jesus demonstrates this as He asks Philip where shall we buy bread to feed these people, testing Philip to see where his trust was as it says, knowing what He was going to do. Multiply five loaves and two fish to feed Five thousand and have extras over after all had eaten to complete satisfaction.

Now I trust you are beginning to see what the Lord wants you to come to and I pray that through these words the grace to believe the impossible will become a reality in you and you will go on to believe and receive the big miraculous things and see extraordinary miracles take place that change nation’s situations in a day that will startle men but demonstrate the Might of the Lord on display to glorify His wonderful name and expand His Kingdom on earth in Jesus name. Amen.

Today is the day the Lord has made and we rejoice and we are glad in it. Celebrate a new day of new beginnings. Today is always a fresh start. The Holy Spirit in my fellowship time with Him this morning spoke clearly about how we use our time in evaluating people’s words versus submitting to the voice and leading of the Holy Spirit. We need to prioritize our confession and agreement with the Holy Spirit and His words far more regularly because through His word we will make our way prosperous and find good success.

The Holy Spirit pointed out that just as Jesus said in John.5:19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. We need to put more emphasis on what the Holy Spirit reveals more than our minute knowledge. Jesus regardless of being the word Himself did not rely on His knowledge of the word but the revelation the Holy Spirit gave Him of the word for each day to carry out.

Let this word minister life to you today in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit says today how much time are you putting into observing what He is saying and doing versus walking in what you believe you know?

It is very easy to fall into a routine of just doing for God because that is what you have been trained to do rather than submitting and yielding to the Holy Spirit to do what He is leading and guiding you to do. In Joshua.1:1-7 the Lord points out to Joshua all the promises of what will be for Joshua as he takes up the mantle to lead the people after the death of Moses and they are very impressive, but in verse 8 the Lord points out to Joshua a clear condition on which all the promises will rest which Joshua will need to follow and abide by if he is to experience and enjoy all the blessings the Lord pointed out in verses 1-7 of Joshua.

Today the Holy Spirit wants to show you what your priorities ought to be and how much attention you need to be putting to the things that matter most rather than the things you believe you need to be doing. Let’s look at Joshua.1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Now the first commandment here is that the book of the law which in our lives today is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus which makes us free from the law of sin and death not departing from our mouths, not just our thoughts and our reading over daily, but from our mouths. How much of what Jesus is saying are we echoing out with our mouths in our daily lives about who we are in Him day and night. We need to as the redeemed of the Lord to say so Psalm.107:2.

Secondly, following our saying which is a part of meditating anyway which we should be doing day and night because our saying with our mouths is our confession which brings our deliverance or salvation. It does not matter how much you believe if you do not verbalize that belief with a confession you will remain bound.Romans.10:10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation..

This confession with your mouth empowers you to observe what the Lord is saying to you through the Holy Spirit in order for you to carry out His instructions. It is after this process that your way will become prosperous and you will begin to find good success in life. You will observe the path in the Spirit to take not the obvious one in the natural.

We cannot jump the process and expect good success to be our reward. Joshua himself many years before this time was a faith man and when sent on the mission to spy out the land said let us go up at once and take it. He had faith that sought to take but lacked the voice of the Lord’s leading and would end up in a ditch because the Lord never guided so it would not be provided.

If this many years on God is commanding him to meditate till he observes to do, what was he going to do those years before to take the land having not taken the time to meditate and know what the Lord was saying. We need to be wise and not foolish in acting out in presumption on what we think God wants rather than waiting till the Holy Spirit tells us what He wants done.

As Moses always said I am not moving till the Lord moves then I will follow Him and we will have triumphant results.

I believe the Holy Spirit wants you positioned in a place where you will have good success because you focus in, on Him and have His direction and guidance in moving forward. As it says of David and David inquired of the Lord what to do and each time the Lord showed him what to do he had good success.

May you today find grace in the Holy Spirit to give time to meditate on the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus and observe from the Lord’s perspective what you ought to do and go forth in the direction of the Holy Spirit rather than your opinion of the situation. Remember God’s thoughts and ways are much higher than yours and you need to yield to His in order to move forward.

May grace be imparted to you today to hold back from premature action and meditate and observe the moving of the Holy Spirit and find the path and course He is leading and walk into triumphant, victorious ventures which will serve as a platform of God results in your life in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me this morning in my communion time the importance of us filling our thoughts and minds with truth,that is His word. We need to stop allowing negative words,thoughts,fears and situations from changing our building project from the Lord which is being filled with the all fullness of God. We must remain steadfast in our commitment to the Lord and allow only His words to framework our existence.

Anything satan says are lies and will only bind us to what is naturally possible so we must of necessity throw off all objections to the truth the Lord has spoken concerning us.

This is why we need to encourage one another daily as our redemption draws nearer so we are not overtaken by the worries and cares of this world that seek to bind and stop us.

Therefore today rise up and take your stand and refuse to bow to any pressure that seeks to say you will fail. This is because you choose to believe the word of the Lord, so nothing will be impossible to you because your confidence is in a God that never fails and makes the impossible possible.

The Holy Spirit will be present to enable override all negative vibes and just watch and see how things will change and line up with your earnest expectation and hope that you will not be ashamed in anything but you go on to experience glory and all God’s goodness towards you. Let this word have its say, its way and fulfillment in your life today in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit yearns for you this morning to fill your thoughts with His words until they penetrate deep into your Spirit and become your direction and leader rather than your thoughts which have curbed you from being what God created and intended you to be and limited you to the natural realm and stopped you from progressing into the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that sets you free from the law of sin and death.

You must realize that you are who the Lord says you are not what your parents, pastor, teachers or mentors or family say you are. You need to saturate your thoughts by confessing what the Lord says you are until you believe that what God says you are flows from your heart that is saturated with that truth.

An example of that for you is this 2 Corinthians.5:17-19 which says Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

Your confession of that word would be this I am in Christ therefore I am a new creation old things have passed away, my faults, my mistakes, my old heritage and what I once was are gone buried forever never to be resurrected again and everything about me is new from the standpoint of Jesus who has given me a brand new heritage which is free from sin and not tainted with past failures or mistakes but spanking new loaded with who Jesus is and the heritage of blessing not the curse and I choose only to live from that new place having been divorced eternally from the old.

All things in my life are of God’s making and there is no failure in God, no defeat in God and only triumph in every situation and that is who I am in Christ and I refuse to believe anything other than what God says I am.

Now when that truth takes hold of your will as you continue speaking it to yourself, your emotions, your intellect and mind then your actions will line up with that posture and you will walk as that because that is all you know and respond to as real concerning you. All other thoughts are lies and deception and you do not permit those in your life.

This should be your daily confession all the time to override the constant negative vibes and thoughts that keep being projected at you. This is a single example of a promise but this is what you should do with all the promises of God concerning you.

I am sure you realize that positive thoughts don’t just fly out to you and flood your mind unless you purposely say them, but the negative ones just seem to flow and only stop when you speak contrary to them, although they still attempt to dominate over you to change your confession back to the old person.

For you to walk as the new creation you have to declare it emphatically and at all times to combat the negative thoughts which just keep coming. This is why the Holy Spirit is pointing to us filling our thoughts with what He says about us and not the lies being spewed to us by people or thoughts. The enemy uses both to keep us in condemnation rather than confidence in God which has a great recompense of reward in the now.

If your heart condemns you, you do not have confidence in God which is what John says in 1 John.3:20-22 and you can end up delaying or detouring your results because you are uncertain in heart and are unable to commit fully with the Holy Spirit to lay hold in the now of life.

Always remember with the Lord today is the day of salvation. You can always make a change if you hear the voice of God today and respond to it in obedience and have a brand new start.

Therefore today make the decision to saturate your thoughts with God’s words to and about you so that they take over you and run your life and situations while the negative thoughts wither into oblivion before you as the grace through these words empower you to act out the God mindset the Holy Spirit yearns for you to walk in so that the name of Jesus is magnified through your lives and gets all the glory for the wonderful change you will now experience in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit in my communion time with Him shared with me about how to correctly manage relationships with people. Making the right decisions on things we are not to expect men to do as a support base in our lives.

This protects us from being unduly not hurt by things that then happen with people that rob us of peace and cause things to fall apart rather than be built up. As we draw closer to the manifestation of the promise of God these issues play up and cause us to stumble because we are perturbed that people can be that insensitive at such an auspicious moment.

The real reason is that satan is using humans to break our resolve in God and force us to do what will rob us of our triumph because we are walking a path contrary to what the Holy Spirit directed and soon find ourselves in a ditch.

The Holy Spirit wants you to have a session of remembrance on how to navigate through these barriers that emerge and keep your peace till you eventually come out triumphant in Jesus name because you kept steadfast in the ways of the Spirit. So meditate on these words and let the grace supplied in them empower you to take the Holy Spirit action that leads to triumph in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit says why are you looking to men as your support and help when you have Him as your more than enough help in every situation. To rely on man is a curse and to trust the arm of flesh is like relying on the wind that would blow you away. Jeremiah.17:5-8 The Holy Spirit is your help in times of trouble and times of success and you need to remember what your strength and strong tower of refuge is.

The Lord will give you men to support you and be an encouragement to carry out the work you are called to do but they are not your support and refuge and must never become your place of succor and help in times of need . The Holy Spirit must become your closest and most trusted friend and support in life and your go to place for relief and answers and this will be tested in your life.

The Lord alone wants to be the One to whom you look to for refuge and support and not men. The Holy Spirit today reminded me of David when he was on a mission in 1 Samuel.30:6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters.

But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God. Now David came home to an invasion of all they had in Ziklag and all they had was gone and in this encounter all the men who were a support and help to David thought of killing him and he remembered that his trust was not in the men he had but the Lord who had called him and went on to encourage himself in the Lord his God and then found the way out of that dilemma as he inquired of the Lord and got the plan to recover back all that was robbed from them and much spoil in addition.

It is not that God did not want David to have the support of those men who God sent to help him ,but the Lord wanted David not to rely on the men but on the God who had called him to be the King and depend on Him and not the support of the men. It is a very fine line between trusting what God gives us to help us win and trusting God Himself to be our go to. Because we see men we feel we have the help ready and available but the Lord we do not see and have to reach out by faith to seek Him and get an answer through prayer, and that is more difficult however that is what is necessary if we are to remain on top of things in life.

I told my closest friend in a season of great physical attack and enemy barrage that seeking God to find out about a healing and what the situation is far better than consulting a doctor for a diagnosis because the doctor on his finest day even a christian doctor can be moved by the enemy and can make mistakes but the Lord would give you an answer of peace and the friend heeded that counsel did not consult a doctor, but trusted the Lord and today is alive and well because the Lord brought her out of what no human doctor could have had a solution for and she now has a story of deliverance of the ability of the Holy Spirit to deliver from death.

What I am sharing with you today by the Holy Spirit is the true advantage we have in the Lord as our go to in time of need and the Lord wants that to be our primary source of help. You will notice that Jesus Himself regardless of the wonderful disciples He picked by the Holy Spirit all left Him at His most vulnerable time but Jesus still said my Father is with me and will see me through.

Jesus could not rely on His closest three disciples to watch Him pray in the garden of Gethsemane but they fell asleep, but the Holy Spirit gave Him strength to carry through to victory and that is where the Lord wants us to live in complete reliance on the Holy Spirit for all things.

Even the Apostle Paul faced that situation when he spoke that in his first defense all men forsook him but the Lord stood by him and delivered him from his enemies 2 Timothy.4:16-18. This is the greatest strength we will ever have to be able to go to God ourselves and have Him bring us through by the power of the Holy Spirit.

May you today through the grace imparted through these words find the ability to look to the Lord and rely on the Holy Spirit as your first go to in every situation in life and let Him be your answer so you don’t have to lose relationships in order to learn this reality in life. The Lord wants us to love Him with all our hearts, souls and bodies for this is the first commandment.

When you look at that instruction there is no room for our desires in our hearts for anything that God does not want,so we must be willing to give Him our all to have His all. I recall when the Holy Spirit spoke this to me and told me to surrender all desires I had as a child which satan was now wanting to fulfill in my life to rob me of my God reward.

Jesus gave His all to accomplish the will of the Father and the Father gave His all to Jesus to rule with Him in the position of Glory eternally. What an honor that we have been granted the privilege to share in that position of glory if we give Him all our hearts in Jesus’ name. Amen.

This process has meant that everything those who walked with God received I can receive and will receive and walk in because God had it written for me to see and know so that I would experience it and whatever it takes to experience it I am willing to do in God for it to happen because the Lord wants it for me and I don’t want to be responsible for not experiencing the Promise of God for my life.

May you today as you hear and receive these words embrace the grace the Lord supplies in them and experience the truth of the miraculous Hand of God in your lives and step into the glory zone where all things are possible in God and that becomes your life story in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He continued a conversation with me on the word consider which He reminded me of yesterday. When the Holy Spirit brings up a word and asks a question about the use of that word it is time to listen and pay attention because one is about to learn a life changing truth that takes you from wondering and contemplating what may happen to assurance and confirmation of things changing and becoming a reality in your life.

Let me now share what the Holy Spirit was bringing to my attention concerning the word consider.

In Luke.12:24 we read these words Jesus says to His disciples: Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? Jesus does not engage in idle conversation so when He speaks we need to pay close attention because we will receive life if we heed what He says. To consider means to think of especially with regard to taking some action, or to give serious and careful thought to.

Why would Jesus want us to pay close attention to the ravens? Because Jesus wants us to recognize that a raven on this earth even though it does not have the capability to sow and therefore reap anything and the ability to store its harvests safely in a storehouse or barn has the Lord feed them regardless of their inability to use the law of seedtime and harvest which the Lord said will remain as long as the earth remains. Genesis.8:22. Let this truth overtake your old thoughts on seedtime and harvest.

Jesus also wanted us to know the value of our lives to Him in respect to our mission on the earth. The human soul has tremendous value to the Lord because it is through us that He gets to rule in the affairs of men and establish His Kingdom on earth. A raven can’t preach the good news of Jesus to a lost generation.

The Lord created us humans to rule the earth in union with Him so why would He withhold what we need to survive and live with on the earth. Rather than doubt the ability of God to provide, just consider the ravens and make up your mind that you are of more value to God than them and allow the Lord to make a way for you regardless of how it looks to be provided for.

Elijah in 1 Kings.17:4&6 And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.

Ravens are takers by nature but when the Lord steps in they become givers. Let that truth wash over you completely and receive the miraculous working on your behalf in Jesus name.

Did you ever wonder where the ravens got the bread and meat from as there was a famine in the land and men were dying. The Holy Spirit wants us to see the Lord from His perspective of abundance, not our limitations and concerns about supply and availability. The Lord uses ravens to provide for Elijah and Jesus uses ravens to remind us about His willingness to provide what we need in any and every situation.

Let’s go further with the Holy Spirit to discover what He is looking to get across to us going forward on what we choose to consider. Further in Luke.12:27&28 Jesus speaks again on what to consider: Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?

He also goes ahead to give the conclusion to this matter of provision we struggle with. Will God feed and clothe us? Jesus brings it down to reality!

We lack the faith necessary to receive what God has available for us in the now and the Holy Spirit wants to help us develop great faith so we are not left out on the outskirts of His provision for us. Jesus wants us to experience our inheritance of supply from Him and live in the place of sufficiency in all things. As the Divine Power of God has given to us all things that pertain to our lives and godliness according to His power we allow to work in us through faith.

The Holy Spirit took me one step further in this conversation on what I need to consider in Romans.4:19-22 which speaks of Abraham: And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Just look at the stance of consideration Abraham made here.

He refused to consider the present human reality his body was facing, death and inability, but focused his consideration on what the power of God could do for Him and Sarah’s womb in order to fulfill His promise to them.

He set his mind on God’s ability to perform what He promised and excluded any other thought in his mind of it not happening and his result was that he had what God said he would have and Sarah conceived and bore him Issac at 100 years old she being 90 years old. The same Lord remains today to do what He did back then and more because of the sacrifice Jesus made for us to inherit life and that in its fullest measure.

The Holy Spirit said to me only consider what I promised you I would do in your life and throw out all other considerations that rise up to question what thus saith the Lord. Refuse to consider any doubt or unbelief and remain steadfast in your confession of what the Lord has said because His faithfulness will be standing over the grave of doubt and unbelief with a triumphant manifestation of the promise God spoke.

You are not the first to doubt and you will not be the last but choose to repent for doubting and get rid of them and focus on God’s ability to perform what He said and absolutely refuse to move from that stance no matter if the earth is removed from under you. God will still do and perform what He said.

Let the grace to focus only on what God promised and consider that alone flow towards you today as you hear and receive these words and go right on believing right through to the manifestation of the promise of God for your life as the Holy Spirit performs signs, wonders and astonishing miracles on your behalf and you become a manifestation of the glory of God on the earth for men to see and turn to Jesus. Amen.

The Holy Spirit reminded me this morning in my communion time with Him of His role and responsibility towards us as pointed out by Jesus in John.14:25&26 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

The importance of the role of the Holy Spirit to bring back to our remembrance the things Jesus spoke to us before. This is because when we hear truth it sparks light and life to us, but when attacks and tribulation arise because of that word we gradually lose sight of the words spoken and start drifting and it is the reminders that theHoly Spirit gives that ignites a new passion and desire to see those words fulfilled in our lives.

So today let these words of reminder stir you back to taking action so you can reap the benefits God intended for you when He first spoke those words. Jesus never wants you to come short of any word He has spoken over your life and will continually send you reminders through the Holy Spirit till you experience that truth manifested in your life experience. So let these words minister afresh to you the wonders of the Lord towards you and captivate your hearts to take the necessary action for your triumph in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my fellowship time with Him shared with me so many different truths and reminders of my position in Him and the responsibilities I have to steward what He reveals to me. He spoke to me about how I prioritize my time and what are the things I need to stop doing that are not profitable to my life and wellbeing and how to use my time more profitably.

Although we follow His daily leadings we are not to get comfortable in what is happening through our lives but press in for more of what God has in store for us and keep that momentum running rather than rest on our laurels because God has done some mighty thing on our behalf.

We have been given the responsibility to use the time the Lord gives us each day to establish and multiply out the Kingdom of Jesus through our lives and bring Him much fruit which remains.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of when Jesus spoke to His disciples in Luke.12:35-38 “Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; 36 and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them. 38 And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

You can clearly see from the way Jesus spoke here that though He had encouraged them about what God had provided for them and made available for them He expected them to respond faithfully and He would test their faithfulness in being alert and ready to do what the Master needed at any given point in time.

This is a priority with the Lord in our relationship with Him and it will be tested to see where we are at given points in time and you won’t know when so it is incumbent on you to be ready always.

Let us look at the commands Jesus gives here: let your waists be girded with truth which the Apostle Paul and Peter go on to emphasize in their letters to those who will follow the Lord. In Ephesians.6:14 in putting on the whole armor of God Paul starts by saying gird up your loins with truth; this term gird means to ready oneself for action, encircling yourself with truth, well that certainly requires doing something as in order to defeat your enemy who is constantly throwing lies and deception around you must of necessity be confessing truth and establishing it in your heart with as much or more intensity if you are to defeat it controlling your actions.

You cannot cast down what you tolerate or allow to flow and pass through your mind. You need to actively rebuke and reject its right to determine your mindset by disallowing it. Remember that the truth you know and apply alone will make you free and keep you free.

“Truth not applied is dormant and will not work for you.” Hence we are told to gird ourselves with it, in an active state of mind which Jesus, Paul and Peter each insisted we as disciples need to do.

Let us look at what Peter pointed out on what to do when he said gird ourselves in 1 Peter.:13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Again we see it requires action on our part to take control of our mind and Peter here speaks about the reproductive part of your mind being so encircled with truth and sober, not in presumption, or arrogance, or foolish thinking but resting completely on the grace which the Holy Spirit will bring to you by revelation.

In other words your mouth must be actively declaring the truth and establishing it in your hearts so that you are constantly ready to take the action the Holy Spirit will require you to take when the hour of manifestation arrives.

In Peter’s life this occurs in Acts.10:9 Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. Peter has to take the initiative to go pray and engage with God and then goes on to have the trance and the Holy Spirit breaks through with the truth to cause Peter to take action which he would never have done because of the mindset that he had as a jew which required that action.

He now had to gird his mind with the new truth which he heard Jesus speak about time and again but it had not quite registered with him but would come through that day as the Holy Spirit ministered it to him and said now go with those men without doubting.

Watch how that singular event t Peter engaged in and girded his mind with truth on became the catalyst that birthed these words in Acts.10:34-35 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. which made salvation a reality for me and you today and every human being on earth who would choose to follow Jesus and work righteousness.

Be encouraged by how that singular event changed Peter eternally as He engaged with the Holy Spirit in because he chose to gird his mind with the truth the Holy Spirit gave him and got to see God in action in a new dimension in Acts.10:44-48 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.

Then Peter answered, 47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.

Then they asked him to stay a few days. God knew what Cornelius had done for His name and had lived out and was going to reward him for that and no bias of Peter was going to stop that happening.

My prayer and heartfelt desire for you today is that you engage in girding the loins of your heart and minds completely on the truth the Holy Spirit reveals and allow Him to bring forth every thing He has assigned for you to do in the Spirit for the advancement of the Kingdom which will glorify His name. May you always find grace to be in the bullseye of God’s will and purpose for your lives and be girded to execute on His behalf in the prescribed time for His glory in Jesus name. Amen.

Take time today and meditate these words over and over again, look over the scriptures again and let them become a part of your life and you will see more expansion of the life of Jesus made available to you and much increase of productivity for the Kingdom in Jesus name. Amen.
