Month: February 2024 (Page 3 of 3)

The Holy Spirit spoke to me this morning about the importance of knowing and understanding the season I am in and doing what is necessary to take everything available at the time and not hesitate or procrastinate on past failures, and miss out on benefits that don’t come round easily. Proverbs.10:5

It is vital He insisted that we understand the times and seasons we are in and keep a keen ear for Him and what He is saying so things don’t spring up on us suddenly and we respond to the first option that shows up because it seems or looks good to the eye and appealing and requires an immediate response that provides no option to check it out.

“We need time to discern every opportunity that comes our way whether it is good from God or evil from the enemy.”

The Holy Spirit pointed out that most times satan springs up a shoot that looks good but reminded me that weeds grow much faster than crops that have been planted, but also die quickly because they have no roots in themselves. Matthew.13:24-30.

He reminded me of the times we had planted vegetables in our garden growing up and how for months we would see no fruit, but constantly had to weed out things we had not planted and wondered how that had happened, but surely in due time the seeds we had planted after preparing the soil began to appear on the ground and finally we had a harvest day. It was a joy seeing those crops we had planted come through.

The Holy Spirit said we knew we did not plant those weeds and we did not eat them or harvest them we weeded them out and threw them away and that’s what we need to do in the Spirit realm uproot what God has not planted and wait patiently for the true fruit to emerge because we know what it looks like.

He said don’t be enamored with the flattery and undue praise of men that promote pride and postures of grandeur and personal recognition. That is usually the devil with a deal of premature grandeur to rob you of the eternal lasting reward from the Lord.

The crux of the matter He said is to stay with the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit when sowing, watering, weeding out and particularly in harvest time so you can reap by the Spirit what was sown in the Spirit. There is no time to stay away from the Spirit and have a flesh break because you don’t know when the Spirit will come and so being constantly alert and awake and conscious of the season we are in is our priority. Luke.12:35-48

So my beloved friends, lovers and followers of righteousness let us take heed to these words and repent of any slackness, presumption and I don’t really care anymore anyway attitude that seeks to come up saying God is not coming so it really does not matter and return back to waiting with eagerness for the coming of the Lord to fulfill His word in us and be ready when He comes and meet Him rather than be sluggish and miss out on harvest time.

Receive grace through these words and return to the place of earnest expectation of the Miraculous Hand of the Lord working on your behalf to fulfill His plan faithfully with signs, wonders and miracles in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me this morning that regardless of the gift of God I possess and the calling I have, my ability to cry out to Him is the most priceless thing I have. He pointed out to me that though David was gifted with ability, it was his ability to cry out to God that saved him so many times and that was the reason God called him a man after My heart. He always inquired of the Lord.

He also mentioned Samson in Judges.15:15-20 who had a gift of strength and might but when the gift failed him after slaying a thousand men with the jaw-bone of an ass he almost died of exhaustion, but his ability to cry out to God at that moment saved his life as God heard and answered him by creating a crater of water before him to drink that rejuvenated him to life.

What an astounding miracle to save his life. I am sure you will desire God to meet you like that in your situation of need.

Well as the Holy Spirit pointed out to me, being able to cry out to God in the most desperate times and dangers in life and God responding with a miracle to save you is the greatest place to be in life because God is capable of everything but your gift only covers a certain limited area God assigned it for.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that Daniel’s gift Daniel.2:10-30 of understanding dreams, visions and enigmas was not enough to help Nebuchardnezzar’s request to tell him what he had dreamt and interpret it. To interpret the dream was easy for Daniel as he had the gift to do so once he heard the dream, but no one possesses the gift to know what someone else dreamt and then reveal it.

However Daniel had the relationship with the Lord that enabled him to cry out to God in his time of need and God granted him the answer by revealing the King’s dream to him and no wonder the King fell flat on his face in adoration before Daniel knowing that only God could do that as his men had told him before when he made that request.

Well the Holy Spirit wants us to make sure we are able to cry out to God and get an answer in the now for any present situation and we need to be in daily living contact with God for that to happen. We need to work on strengthening our daily walk with Him and not relying on our gifting because the ability to cry out to God and get a now answer was what made the impossible possible for God’s servants as recorded in the bible.

I could share more with others like Jehoshapath who cried out to God when he was facing death and God answered and delivered him. Hezekiah also cried out to God when Isaiah gave him a prophecy of his pending death and God stepped in and reversed it as he cried out to God by himself.

So today make up your mind to work on your daily walk relationship with God as priority and make sure you know He will answer you when you cry out to Him as that is your primary purpose with God to follow Him and you can’t follow someone you are not constantly hearing.

Remember Jesus’ command to His followers in John.10:27-30 My sheep know My Voice and the voice of a stranger they do not follow. Have a refreshing time with the Holy Spirit as you rekindle your communion time with Him today and find back your place of certainty with Him that as you cry out to Him He will show up and answer you in a miraculous way in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit in my communion time spoke to me about these facts in our lives. Are you in the place where your dreams and hopes in God have just seemed to drag on and on and now you are wondering whether it is worth your while to expect the Lord to come through for you. Is the sacrifice and giving up of things for the Lord’s name worth the troubles you are facing?

Well today the Holy Spirit spoke to me to encourage you to come back to your spiritual senses and recognise that this is a ploy to rob you of all you have worked for and given your heart to submit to in God. It is real the Holy Spirit says God is not a man that He should lie and a son of man that He should repent and you will reap the God harvest if you don’t faint at this last moment or hurdle.

Hebrews.6:10 For God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. The Holy Spirit will never forget to remind you of the harvest that is due you from your seeds of love sown towards the name of Jesus and you can rest on that reality.

Natural pressures are wanting your attention to divert you from Spiritual tracking with God so that when He comes you will be in the flesh and miss your moment of opportunity and visitation of the Lord.

You must stay spiritually focused to reap your Spiritual God inheritance. You cannot now afford to be grieving the Holy Spirit at this time,but you need to be embracing Him with all your might and strength and being quick to obey His leadings and direction for the harvest. Remember the Holy Spirit alone knows where the harvest is, you do not, so you have to rely on His ability to discern and correctly direct you.

So today lift up your eyes, square your shoulders and run with determination the final lap in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit and watch how things will change. Watch how you will be able to navigate from these wicked schemes of satan to stop you through the Holy Spirit.

Then allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into the bright plans and paths of pleasantness and peace God has ordained for you to walk and live in at this point of time in your life. It is time for you to soar into the manifestation of your God birthed dreams and visions of life and come out from under shame and disgrace which has seemed to plague you in Jesus Name.

Let the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness empower to reign in life by the anointed Jesus in this hour of visitation.Romans.5:17b. Amen.

The Holy Spirit asks you today where is your worship of God? Are you still in awe of His greatness and wonderment of His Presence and Power or just plugging along in your doubt of His faithfulness and integrity.Malachi.3:13-21

Well the Holy Spirit earnestly desires you to come back into the place of worship of God in Spirit and Truth for that is what God is seeking and wanting from you.

Stop offering God your complaints and negative words for they are lies and birthed of the flesh and only serve to cloud and pervert the path of God for your life. What God says about you is the truth and is your life. Your thoughts are lies and death which you need to separate from them.

You must stop worshiping at that altar of death. Lay hold on the Faithfulness of God and remember all the wonderful things He has done for you in the past and how He lifted you when you were down.

Remember the Holy Spirit said to me when I met Gideon at the winepress. Judges.6:11-24. Gideon offered Me a complaint of all the negatives in his life and a non existent future, however I just ignored his negative words and told him to go in this might of His because I am with him and he will bring down the Midianites as one man.

Think of it the Holy Spirit said after seven years of bondage and oppression God was going to use little Gideon to defeat and change that story only because He God said so in spite of Gideon’s own negative narrative he had offered. The Lord initiated the process of deliverance because He wanted His people free and had a way to bring it about. Remember God always has a way to bring deliverance out of any situation. So worship the Lord fervently.

Well the Lord said whose narrative proved true. God with Gideon and three hundred men pulled off that feat and reversed 7 years of torment and loss of harvest because Gideon changed his position of worship and awe of God and believed God’s words over his. Go look at it Judges:6-8 and meditate on it.

Well today the Holy Spirit wants you to change your negative worship offering and return to worship in awe of who Jesus is to you and that He will never leave you, nor forsake you, but will always be with you even to the close of the age.

Let that fresh adoration of God evoke in you the renewed Strength and grace that propels you to action and recovery of all you have lost and became your sad worship story. Then watch the Lord as He did for Gideon change your life narrative and give you a story that no eye has seen, no ear has heard, nor entered the heart of man, what God has prepared for you.

It can only be revealed to you by the Holy Spirit and now is the time for that fullness to be revealed in your life. So arise to your worship in awe and reverence to God’s Almightiness and experience a new season of breakthroughs and miracles you believed for that you never saw happen, Now happening in real time daily in your lives in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit reminded me this morning that His eyes are everywhere and that He is taking note of everything that happens. He is watching over His lovers to fulfill His will concerning them and also the wickedness of the wicked. Proverbs:15.3. This truth He explained to me solidifies why we should only look to the Lord and not worry or concern ourselves with what the enemy is doing. That is a ploy to draw you away from truth and it always leads to ruin.

The Lord has the full perspective of every detail and knows how to thwart what the enemy is planning and plotting of evil against us and we have no reason to worry but just make sure we are in tune with the Holy Spirit’s version of events.

The Holy Spirit went on to remind me of the events that happened when the King of Syria sent troops to surround Elisha the Prophet and arrest him to stop him hearing from God. His servant reported to him that troops were surrounding them as he went outside to prepare for Elisha and he was in total fear and dread of what was happening.However Elisha calmly responded that those that are with us are far more than those troops coming together against us.

The servant was confused because he only saw Elisha and himself. Well Elisha prayed for him that he might see the true God picture and when his eyes were opened and he saw the chariots of the Lord protecting them his fear evaporated and confidence returned to him and he rested from his fear which you must also do today.

Elisha then prayed that God should blind the eyes of all those troops and they should now be directed and led by Elisha’s voice which went on to happen and they were brought to the place of surrender to the will of God. Well the Holy Spirit wants to remind you to stop being agitated by the pranks of satan and stop giving undue attention to the things he seems to be pulling off. Let your eyes be focused on Jesus and His plan alone.

The Lord knows everything anyway and has a plan for your deliverance and He will not let you slip. Have more confidence in God’s ability to save you than satan’s schemes to hurt you. Remember that it is God who declared over you that no weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that rises up against you in judgment you shall condemn.This is your heritage as a servant of the Lord.

Well as Elisha did that day so we must do today and watch how the enemy’s plan fades at the might of God’s Hand working on your behalf today. No one has the power to snatch you from God’s hand so don’t allow yourself to separate yourself from Him through fear. Refuse to fear and choose to surrender to the Holy Spirit and see from God’s perspective and laugh with the Lord as He throws your enemies into derision and elevates you to a place of honour and glory.

Lay hold of these words and let the abundance of grace flow towards you today that makes you as bold as a lion to walk in the Presence and Power of the Holy Spirit in Jesus Name. Amen.

This is your hour of deliverance, so focus on the direction of the Holy Spirit to be where He has ordained for you to walk in the signs and wonders He has available to bring you through to triumph in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit challenged me to change my prayer stand this morning in my intimate time with Him and do something different and life changing. In Proverbs:16.2 it reads We are all in love with our own opinions,convinced they’re correct. But the Lord is in the midst of us, testing and probing our every motive.

The Lord wants us to know the motive, intent and basis for which our hearts respond to any given situation in life. This is because our heart response will determine our eventual outcome whether good or bad in life. Hence the admonition in Proverbs.4:23 Above everything else, guard your heart;for it is the source of life’s consequences.

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me when I asked Him how do I stop loving my own opinion as I surrender to Him everyday and give Him all my heart and my soul and my body to do His will daily. He said to pray asking Him to enable me to hate my opinions rather than love them. Change my perception to line up with hatred for what I think and love and acceptance for only thus saith the Lord.

Now as I heard that my discerning heart kicked in,and I needed to test that voice, and the Holy Spirit was gracious to explain to me through scripture the reality of that truth from Jesus Himself so I could be comfortable and know that a lie was not being sneaked into my life.

Firstly He pointed out to me Hebrews:1.9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”

Jesus expressed both love and hatred and I came to understand that if He Jesus had tolerated lawlessness God would not have given Him the anointing more than His companions. A Limitless Anointing. Jesus had to express hate of lawlessness to defeat it in love with an anointing that could not be stopped. In Revelation:2.6 it says this: But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

Now Jesus is here revealing that He approves of His people expressing hatred to certain evil deeds which He also hated.

Well to hate my own opinions is a good thing particularly because God Himself pointed out that the heart of man is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things and who can know it. Jeremiah:17.9. My opinions are birthed from my heart and the experiences of life I have had and my readings of them.

Jesus also points out in John:5.30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.

This makes it perfectly clear that even Jesus the Word Himself in a human body did not trust His own opinion but relied on His Father to guide and direct Him on what to say and do.

Well I embraced that prayer point as I don’t trust my opinions over God’s so I choose to hate my own opinions and love yielding to God’s Own and run swiftly after what God says and wants and do them quickly.

As Mary told the servants at the wedding feast in Canaan in John.2: Whatever He tells you to do just do it even if it makes no sense. The result of that was a miracle they became a part of that was credited to them.

So today, I urge you to begin to hate your own opinions on things and situations, because they are mostly sourced from satan anyway as he influences us through deceit which our heart loves. What we hate we will not do but will fight against it.

We must fight against our opinions by hating them and loving God’s opinions and thoughts conveyed through His voice to us more by obeying them and doing what they say we should do. You will certainly see the difference in everything you do and say in Jesus Name as you commit to heeding and obeying God’s words.

Take hold of this truth and let the grace supplied in them empower you to take the action that promotes the kingdom expansion in Jesus Name and establish you in the path of triumph in everything miraculous in life in Jesus name. Amen.

In my fellowship time with the Holy Spirit this morning He showed me a different way of looking at scripture which is not obvious but makes me realize just how little we know though the Lord has taught me so much and how much more we/I need to learn and even understand of the vastness of God’s might and ultimate power and ability to do.

I am constantly in Awe of what new things of the Truth the Holy Spirit would guide me into each day to expand my ability to experience all the Father has for me which transcends all hnowledge and understanding.

Well in Proverbs:17.13 it reads these words: The one who returns evil for good can expect to be treated the same way for the rest of his life.That is simple to understand but the Holy Spirit said to me. How about the person who returns good for evil and suffers evil fruit, what is his reward? That got my attention because I had not looked at that before.

In other words, when we receive evil treatment for having been good and kind to people, what is our reward? This is because what came back was evil for our good, and was that going to be for all my life too?

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me that I must not be overcome by evil , but must overcome evil with good. He reminded me that we should always ask the opposite question when only one part is addressed by a scripture otherwise we have a skewed picture of truth and can easily be taken advantage of because of ignorance.

Jesus, He pointed out, went about doing good, healing all who were oppressed of the devil because God was with Him. Acts:10.38 but not all oppressed people were healed.

Jesus never ever responded to evil with evil and no matter what people did He never stopped doing or being good because that’s who He is and no one could change His nature or character by their actions and He never failed in anything He did in spite of peoples evil deeds towards Him.

It says of Jesus He was hated without cause. There was no reason for any person to hate Jesus because He only ever did good.

We as His disciples are anointed to do good not evil and Peoples evil actions are not to move us to act outside our nature of good to take on the nature of satan and be evil and adopt satan’s ways to respond to his evil perpetrated by men.

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me that Paul learnt that lesson and could say boldly when faced with the threat of mens evil deeds, none of these things men do move me to take wrong actions.

I am a God man and will never fall down and change that nature to submit to lies that come through mens evil actions. So my beloved Brethren let us not allow the evil of the day to rob us of the best the Lord has for us, but rather let us faithfully stick to and overcome all evil with the goodness of God in us.

We are more than the schemes of evil sent to pull us away from the Lord’s hand and protection. Remember being good always keeps you connected to God and His protection over you.

You cannot be separated from the love of God that never fails, unless you yield to evil to fight evil. So muster your strength through the grace this word makes available to you and let the goodness of God so flow out of you that it baffles your enemies and lifts you to higher dimensions of glory in the Spirit.

Have a wonderful day doing good by remaining anointed by destroying yokes and removing burdens off those oppressed of the devil and advance the kingdom of Jesus in Jesus Name. Amen.

This Holy Spirit this morning shared with me what I should delight in concerning the Character of God and how to partake of that part of His Divine Nature.

“Jesus truly wants us to experience all He has and owns on the earth and we must pursue it with all our hearts.”

In Proverbs:18.10 it says The character of God is a tower of strength, for the lovers of God delight to run into His heart and be exalted on high.

I was encouraged to draw on the tower of strength God is. His Heart rather than mine which enables me to be productive and fruitful.

I was already conscious of the fidelity of God’s immutable character and heart and have drawn upon it for my life on many occasions but today I gained further insight on how to walk continually in the tower of strength the character and heart of God is for me daily.

Now the Holy Spirit pointed out that only lovers of Him delight to run, not just walk towards Him. They go after Him completely which points to giving Him undivided time, constant pursuit and attention to how He is leading.

In other words, take time to spend seeking His face putting aside all distractions and giving Him priority as it says Jesus did in Luke:5.16 However, He made a practice of withdrawing to remote places in order to pray.

Jesus chose remote places so He could not be disturbed as He ran into the Fathers heart which would be His place of safety and tower of strength and the only result or outcome would be exaltation which is exactly where Jesus walked daily in the events of His life being the extension of the Hand of God with signs,wonders and miracles.

The Holy Spirit said that as I seek Him that way it will no longer be my natural weak human character and heart that will be seen but His character and heart will be made manifest through my life each day I run to Him and permit Him to use my body,temple for his glory. As Jesus pointed out these signs shall follow them that believe Him and follow His path.

My heart leaped for joy at this new prospect of God’s character heart being seen in and through me and working from me. I am humbled at the sheer honour of being invited to partake of His Divine Nature/Heart and being an expression of it. I was also reminded of Jesus’ words to the disciples that except a man denies himself daily and takes up his cross he cannot be My disciple.

This the Holy Spirit pointed out to me is a daily happening because our hearts can easily be distracted by the fame and honour this brings us and we fall into the snare of pride and that evil way. There is nothing that compares to walking in the character and heart of God that is who He really is shining through you.

I know walking in the gifts of the Spirit are awesome but having the fullness of the Gift Giver working any of His possession through you is far greater because there are no limitations.

Just look at Paul’s prayers in Ephesians.3 that we should be filled with all the fullness of God and the result is that God does exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to His Power at work in us.This is because it is Him thinking and doing in us His ability versus ours. I beseech you today to make this word your daily pursuit and find grace to be what God wants you to be for His glory.

He is looking for His Kingdom of glory to be manifested through us completely and expanded to cover the whole earth as the waters cover the sea. So gird yourself up and pursue with diligence to walk in the Character and heart of God which is your strong tower and place of rest. Have a triumphant day loaded with the benefits of the Most High in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Precious Holy Spirit, my closest and dearest friend, spoke to me new things on truths He had taught me years ago which I have lived by and enjoyed.

However He pointed out finer points to those truths which have enabled me to get more freedom and awareness of more peace, joy and settlement of soul [mind, will, emotions and intellect]and because the end of my faith is the saving of my soul that is my soul completely in alignment with the Lord in everything as Jesus was with the Father.

I feel led to share some of these truths with you. The Holy Spirit asked me why am I offended with various situations, people and these other events?

I knew from Luke:17.1 that in life there would always be offenses and once the Lord opened my heart to that scripture years ago I knew that offenses would come no matter what good I did. I would have to deal with them, but not worry about them because the onus was on the person who caused them as long as I did not let them bother or affect me so I just passed over them and did not let them get to me.

I handed them to the Lord and walked away. However when the Holy Spirit asks me a question it is not because He does not know the answer but is looking to me to know and identify the issue and get free completely.

I said that I really don’t know what triggers offense or anger in me over a sometimes simple matter that has happened often but now bugs me and gets me acting funny. He then pointed out to me how God feels about offenses and how He responds to it to heal my pent up emotions.

He said if He was offended at all the things we do against Him daily He would never be able to see His will done on earth because we constantly do things that aggravate Him and spoil His plan and don’t conclude properly what He started with us and He has to create a new plan because we spoilt the last one.

He pointed out to me that in Genesis:6.5-8 Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7 So the Lord said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.

That’s how I felt about man I created for my pleasure because everything man did was in opposition to His will but He chose not to be offended by it but provided an answer for redemption because that’s what He wanted and no one and certainly not satan was going to move Him from His purpose and plan for man.

So Noah found grace in God’s ability to do right and God’s plan continued to live on. He said if He counted every wrong thing I did everyday He would not be able to do me good but He does not count them because that would negate His plan for me and prove Him a liar and bring His plan for His Kingdom to be on earth as it is in Heaven null and void because man must be involved for that plan to work.

That’s why He forgets my sins and remembers them no more and throws them into the sea of forgetfulness. He pointed out that to continue killing the object [man] for His plan to succeed is a loss for Him and a jab from satan that God could not fulfill His plan.

This truly melted my heart and I made some resolutions from which I will never shift from so I will fulfill the Lord’s plan on earth and not aid satan in ruining God’s plan by my flesh weaknesses which I can whip through the grace God has given to me in Jesus.

I had a wonderful time with the Lord as He shared so many instances of Himself in situations that demanded He be offended at us and quit His plan but how He reacted and kept on track and as such wants me to react in a way that promotes Him and not satan.

I encourage you today to stop allowing offense to rob you of God’s best for you. Choose not to allow what people do to change your way of serving the Lord. Don’t come out of your time with the Lord to be spoiled by your spouse or child or colleague and what they say or do ruin your day and God’s agenda for you.

As you hear these words from the Lord’s heart let grace flow towards you that will keep you from stumbling and present you faultless until God has accomplished every good thing set for your life that shows the Might of Jesus on your behalf in Jesus Name. Amen.
