The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time reminded me that nothing can separate us from His Loyal and faithful love towards us and how we need to use this truth of the loyal love of the Lord steadfastly to overcome all the fiery darts of the enemy seeking to take us out through lies and false accusations against our lives.
The Holy Spirit in my time with Him this morning wanted me to encourage you and remind you that He has given each of you an individual grace gift which brings a facet of the Lord that we are robbed of if you do not value it and present yourself in such a way that allows for it’s expression to benefit us all from the Lord.
In 1 Peter:1.10-11 we read this: Every believer has received grace gifts, so use them to serve one another as faithful stewards of the many-colored tapestry of God’s grace.11 For example, if you have a speaking gift, speak as though God were speaking his words through you. If you have the gift of serving, do it passionately with the strength God gives you, so that in everything God alone will be glorified through Jesus Christ. For to Him belong the power and the glory forever throughout all ages! Amen.
The Holy Spirit pointed out to me clearly that every believer in Him has received a grace gift from the Father which was given them to serve out so the full many sided tapestry of God’s grace can be revealed. It may seem insignificant from your perspective because you are valuing it from human relevance and importance rather than God’s perspective.
The Holy Spirit wants you to begin to honor the grace He gave you and develop it and allow the Lord to minister it through you to begin to help others as if Jesus was present doing it Himself and they experience Him.
Commit yourself to the Holy Spirit daily and allow Him to develop you in the use of God’s grace and make it available through your life to benefit all. Stop us missing an aspect of God which is necessary for our spiritual enrichment and edification because you feel it insignificant as a gift. It is important for us just as you are.
The Holy Spirit reminded me of Stephen and Philip who were regular disciples but who were invited to step in at a moment of crisis because they had mastered there relationship with the Holy Spirit and when called upon could work with the Lord to solve the problem of food distribution in Acts:6 and brought a revival of truth and that was the last of that grumbling by the Hellenists.
It brought a new manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit in demonstration in a greater measure that had been seen previously even in the Apostles ministry. What grace you have in the Lord may be the trigger for the next explosion of the miraculous power of the Lord to be revealed and bring answers we have been waiting for years.
What Stephen and Philip brought into the God community was enormous and brought Jesus and the Kingdom Samaria in the case of Philip and the Apostle Paul in the case of Stephen with all the added great miracles that were wrought to confirm the Mighty hand of the Lord as the Holy Spirit worked through them mightily.
So today repent to the Lord for belittling the grace He has given you and receive it again with thanksgiving and allow the Lord to develop it’s operation in you and then minister it in the power of the Holy Spirit to bring change in the lives of people and establish the Kingdom of Jesus on earth.
You are precious to the Lord and He wants what He invested in you to bring forth fruit in the area He has appointed you to function for His glory. Arise in this might of yours and stop saying my gift is nothing compared to what others have and let that gift of grace bring freedom to many and astound the enemy who has kept you in the shadow wallowing in shame looking for what will never come but neglecting what is there and ready to be used for maximum glory.
Let the grace in these words equip and strengthen you to get up to work and walk in the Lord and the power of the Holy Spirit to advance the Kingdom and bring needed help to God’s people in Jesus’s Name.
Let this word of the Holy Spirit resound in you as you go forth bearing precious fruit in Jesus Name. Amen.
