In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning He shared with me again the importance of us building ourselves up on our most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit. He emphasized the reality that it is not a physical, human building but a spiritual enlarging and magnification which produces phenominal results in the natural realm.
It is not how you feel after praying in the Spirit that matters but what you gain in the spiritual realm that counts. How you measure your results determines the benefit you will get from what you have done. Stop looking at the natural to determine what progress you think you have made and thus lose courage to keep your prayer in the Spirit as a regular part of your spiritual arsenal and begin to lose ground.
Make the correct spiritual assesments of your progress and follow through what the Lord has promised you gain when you pray continually in the Spirit and all will be well. When you take spiritual action you will fully appreciate what you gained by doing it faithfully. Allow the words below to stir you back up to action which the Holy Spirit directed I should share again to stir your hearts in remembrance to lay hold of. Then go on to experience what is before you in the now to lay hold off it and reap the benefits of what God planned for you in Jesus name. Stop losing out on what you have worked for in jesus name.
The Holy Spirit this morning wants you to know that He is not relying on you to do or be anything for God, but for you to depend upon Him to empower you to be what God created you to be. The Holy Spirit wants you to look to Him for the boldness you need to be effective for the Kingdom. Even if you believe you are eloquent, your eloquence will not cut it in the Kingdom.
You will need more than eloquence of speech to defeat the works of the devil. In the book of Acts.4:29 it reads Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”
After an attack of the devil to force the Apostles to stop speaking in the name of Jesus we see them pray a prayer that must be our daily cry before the Lord. “We need to be able to speak with all the boldness that flows from the Holy Spirit to us the word of the Lord.”
“It is one thing to speak the word with your voice but a complete difference when you speak that same word by the unction of the Holy Spirit which will produce life in the darkest and most death-filled environment.”
“Words spoken by the Holy Spirit will always radiate light and bring forth life into any darkness and change chaos and bring order.”
Look again at the request of the Apostles and watch for the Answer the Holy Spirit gives because this is what we need to be looking for in our lives daily. Grant that your servants may speak your word with all boldness. Not with some boldness or in timidity or trepidation but in all boldness with no boldness left out.
“We should not speak for the Lord coming short in any boldness that the Holy Spirit has, but loaded with all the boldness that He possesses and carries which will bring answers of great magnitude.”
“The boldness of speech has direct correlation to the stretching out of the hand of God to heal and then the production of signs and wonders to be done through the hand of the Holy Spirit for the glory of the name of Jesus.”
Without the boldness of speech flowing from the Holy Spirit through you you will not see the miraculous power of God made manifest to heal, deliver and bring freedom.
“It is imperative that we request from the Lord through the Holy Spirit for the boldness to speak the word and then we will see the manifestation of the hand of the Lord.” It is not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord.
“Our shouting will not cut through the enemy but being loaded with the boldness of the Holy Spirit will break through any and every obstacle.”
Let’s look at the results from this prayer for boldness. Acts.4:31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. Most times in church the people do all the shaking and activity but here we see the Holy Spirit shaking the place and boldness overtaking the people and the results are stunning as the word is spoken boldly. Acts.4:32-37
Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.
36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
Firstly the agreement we see in the disciples is awesome and we have not seen that level of union in our day where we have every soul present having the same heart and soul and relinquishing their ownership of possessions for the common good of all.
The Apostles manifest the tangible presence of the resurrection power of Jesus that people see and grace is imparted to people that removes poverty and any lack in the life of every believer as resources from owners of lands and property was sold to remove the burden of lack on their brothers and sisters and everybody’s needs were met.
Life changed in a minute and all disciples’ financial problems were sorted out and no one was in any lack while others boasted of their wealth and how good God was to only them. There was corporate deliverance.
“I pray we see that again in our day as the Holy Spirit is permitted by us to do such marvels as we boldly declare the word of God and let the Hand of the Lord manifest as it did then.”
I pray that as you hear these words today the Holy Spirit will ignite in you a fire and passion to pursue after this grace which will bring an awakening to God of boldness that speaks as God and goes on to manifest Him in such dimensions that all have to say the Lord has visited and we are living in the days of the Lord in full manifestation. May you be found passionately pursuing this reality of the Holy Spirit in this day in Jesus name. Amen.
