In my special time with the Holy Spirit this morning after my commitment time to serving the purpose of the Lord and surrendering my heart and soul to serve Jesus alone. The Holy Spirit took me back to Colossians.3:16 and began explaining in more detail to me what the true reality of the word of Christ dwelling richly in us in all wisdom really means and entails and what the full scope of its application in our life will mean for us.

“The Holy Spirit wants us to know what we are committing to in our service to the Lord so we are not deceived about our pursuit and can follow with absolute confidence knowing full well that God will perform what He has said to us.”

Colossians.3 reads 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. Most of us will ask which exact word that Christ spoke is being referred to here that we should let dwell in our hearts richly. If I take that one word and work it into my heart does that mean the word of Christ dwells richly in me, now so that I have all wisdom and am able to teach and admonish in everything. Certainly not.

The Holy Spirit said let us look at one word from Jesus as an example to take heed and beware of all kinds of greed for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of things he possesses Luke.12.You see how we can distort scripture and end up in a ditch because although you can watch out for greed not having place in your life and that is part of the word of Christ. That word alone will not cover for you not responding in love to your neighbor or being kind and gracious in all you do.

The question then remains which word of Christ should we allow to dwell richly in us. Every word of instruction from the mouth of Jesus to His disciple you most hold dearly, receive and imbibe fully because as humans we are to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. That does not mean everything men say God said but what thus saith the Lord. God sent his word to heal us and Jesus is the word made flesh and He certainly went about healing all who were oppressed of the devil because God was with Him.

Well I started out in an Anglican church where they taught that God had committed the ministry of healing to doctors now and the days of healing were now gone.

Thankfully when the Holy Spirit saved me and I began devouring the word of God I realized that the word was true and everything it said I could have and walk in so I simply believed and challenged the preachers each time they said God does not heal today and gave the relevant scriptures to back up my beliefs and they were gracious to me to pursue God more.

Not sure they changed their minds. I could not do that for them. I needed to pursue God myself. I met in that church oddly enough a man whose daughter was almost blind who used to wear very strong glasses and had almost gone blind but the parents had taken her to see Smith Wigglesworth for a healing.

He said to me when we entered his home Smith wigglesworth said to them that they were not serious because the girl was still wearing the glasses and he proceeded to take the glasses from her and smash them on the floor with his feet. The dad said he was offended at that but he watched as Smith prayed,laid hands on his daughter and she began seeing again perfectly in their midst.

That very day the father was relating the story to me. The daughter came into the house and still had perfect vision. I met her. She pointed out to me that she could not come to the Anglican church because she knew she had been healed by God, had the evidence in her sight and could not worship where that truth was rejected or spoken evil against.

I had never heard of Smith wigglesworth at that time because I was in Anglican circles but got to realize later when the very lady I told you in one of my posts I had advised about not divorcing her husband gave me books about Wigglesworth and the healing and deliverance in his ministry which I was embarking on in Botswana at that time which were an encourager and blessing to me at the time and still are.

The Lord was confirming to me that healing was real in the very place where men said no and I saw the proof before me that God heals so that solidified my continued pursuit for the miraculous which God said I should walk in.

You see the word of Christ is very broad and we need to be open to allow room in our hearts for all the wisdom contained in them to expand us to the point where that word dwells in us or takes up residence in our hearts and as Peter says the Morning Star Jesus arises in our hearts in full manifestation of reality of the truth now clearly visible in our lives.

As the Apostle Paul pointed out in Galatians.1:15-17 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, 16 to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

Paul had heard Jesus speak to him on the road to damascus but here Paul talks about the process of that word being revealed in him as opposed to him.

Paul tells us that when the word of Christ was revealed in him richly then he could preach it effectively and magnify the name of the Lord which is exactly what the Holy Spirit wants the word of Christ to be in your life with all wisdom and necessary teaching to develop you from baby to maturity where your senses are fully exercised to discern between good and evil and you do what thus saith the Lord.

There is still so much of this truth I will need to share with you, but for today allow your heart to yield to the grace supplied you through these words of truth and make the necessary corrections so that the word of Christ can dwell in you richly and begin to change the course of your thinking and processing truth so Christ can manifest in you more and more and your life becomes more of a living witness of the aliveness of Jesus and, His will still present on this earth to help and aid man to succeed and prosper in life.

The reality of the increase of the Kingdom of Jesus on this earth being manifested through your life which glorifies the name of Jesus. Amen
