Month: April 2024 (Page 1 of 2)

The Holy Spirit asks you today where is your worship of God? Are you still in awe of His greatness and in wonderment of His Presence and Power or are you 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. John.4:21-24.

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 and lay hold of Jesus’s thoughts towards you.

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

Remember the Holy Spirit said to me when He 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 here with him now 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, torture and loss of harvests because Gideon changed his position of worship and awe of God and believed God’s words over his. Go look at it in Judges:6-8 and meditate on it. It will change your perspective and move you to action.

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 change your sad worship story to a song of triumph. 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. Exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think.

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.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning He reminded and re emphasized to me some of the key things in my relationship with Him that continue to guarantee triumph in life because I choose to walk in those realities and directed me to share this word with you this morning as you progress through the things you face which present a threat to the will and plan of God coming to pass in your life.

If you embrace these truths and allow them to navigate your God course, there will be no more defeats, or shame and disgrace but days of glory and grace filled with the miracles, signs and wonders which are the product of a life lived for God.

Allow these words to minister grace to you to come forth triumphant in Jesus name. Amen.

In my relationship with the Lord which has spanned three decades and more the greatest thing that has most impacted me most is communion time with the Holy Spirit. Through His help, inspiration, comfort, direction, discernment, guidance into truth has made my study of scripture, my prayer life productivity and fruitfulness come alive.

The enormous input of the Holy Spirit has allowed and enabled me to use the true knowledge of God skillfully not on my authority but in the way God intended.

This has resulted in bearing fruit and fruit that has remained becoming my primary object and seeing it happen in everyday events. In other words having miraculous results continually happening which is the purpose of having a covenant with God who possesses and owns everything.Hebrews.1:2 & 3.

Through the friendship with the Holy Spirit I realized it is not how much scripture I know or how well I can present it that matters, but what the Lord wants conveyed to His people at each given point that really matters because Jesus came so we could experience life and enjoy it in its fullest measure.John.10:10.

As I have shared previously, the guarding of our hearts is the primary responsibility the Holy Spirit seeks to build in us. This is because no matter what we hear or receive of a word from God our hearts have to process through that word and whatever controls our hearts will determine the eventual result we will have. What God said or any variation He did not say of death which our heart chooses to yield to instead.We have to make the choice to follow the Lord or reject Him.John.1:10-13.

When the Lord stresses something we need to do with diligence it is a priority and we cannot be slack in that area because everything is dependent on how diligent we are in that area of our hearts to do what the Lord requires. Now diligence requires constant repetition of doing the same thing over and over again daily and it becomes a habit that you consciously do as part of your routine on purpose.

Our heart is that important to God for productivity and also to the enemy because he will do anything to get our agreement so he can rob us and ultimately God of achieving something in a time frame of His will on earth. Satan always wants to delay God’s things to help create doubt in God’s people and humans of God’s faithfulness and unfortunately uses men’s hearts to achieve his evil plans.

The Holy Spirit however needs us to protect our hearts and what enters them.Whether we allow truth which brings freedom and life or deception and error which always makes room for satan and his schemes and results in death. The Holy Spirit or the Spirit of Truth wants to establish truth in our hearts and will provide us with every necessary evidence of truth to make this known to us.

We must remember that it was not theft, or sexual sin or some deep evil thing, sin that got Eve to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but the lie that she would become smart and have the ability to know more about life which God was withholding from them.

She already knew everything because God had said it all to them but the spin of new knowledge and fresh revelation that God was seemingly hiding from her, caused her to give her heart to a lie and what a fall and loss and disappointment it caused us all.

Now this is why we now as disciples of Jesus need to guard our hearts diligently so we do not fall after the same lies in our heart that rob us of God’s best. Submit your heart to be filled with the knowledge of God, refuse your heart to entertain doubt and unbelief about anything God says.Luke.21:8-19.

Train your heart to listen carefully to what God says and then only say what the word of God says and when you miss it in saying repent and turn back to saying what God says. Then resist the devil steadfastly. That will reverse the negative process. It will cause you to become more diligent when you see the length to which satan will go to get your heart to submit to him.

You will need to do this over and over again. Through it you will see how diligent satan is to stop you and that should spur you on to keep guarding your heart in what you think, say and feed it with, throughout each day.

When you feel you have arrived at doing it continue, don’t relax and take a break from guarding your heart, you cannot afford that luxury you must keep going as guarding your heart is for a lifetime not a month or even a year and you have not graduated and have arrived which gives you the right to have a breather from exhaustion protecting your heart.

You will need it for life as you will discover that satan will not let up on his pursuit for control of your heart because that is what he needs. To run on your failures to keep your heart and use your power taken by deception to control you and keep you in bondage as a slave to his dictates. Now you will miss it on occasions but the key is to be quick to repent and turn back to God and get back to doing it again.

The Holy Spirit will help you because He needs you for the Lord’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. He knows your weaknesses better than you do, but can and will provide the strength you need to overcome them and be triumphant once you are willing to listen and obey.

He is the best Teacher you will ever have in life and will comfort and help you till you make it. So today determine in your heart to surrender all your to the Lord for He needs your agreement to work for and in you, He will never violate your heart, He requires your consent and then will work with you and empower you to cooperate with Him to achieve the will of Jesus for your life in the present now.

The Holy Spirit is the Perfect Gentleman. Commit your heart to diligently guard it so it will bear the fruit and that more abundantly that Jesus wants and desires it for you to have to glorify His name in all the earth. Have a new start up loaded in the vigor and might of the Holy Spirit and let your open heart in Him propel you to bring forth fruit for the Kingdom today in signs, wonders and miracles in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit in my communion time with Him this morning went on further to explain that after having guarded our hearts with all diligence we need to set a guard on the things we say. This is to ensure that our mouths don’t destroy what our hearts have gained and we end up sabotaging our advancement through careless words.

In Proverbs.13:3 we read these words: Guard your words and you’ll guard your life, but if you don’t control your tongue, it will ruin everything. Now the Holy Spirit reminded me of the importance of us only saying only what God says about us and refraining from speaking our own words and voicing our own thoughts.

We are to set a deliberate guard over what we let come out of our mouths just as guards are set to protect a President or Prime Minister when they are traveling somewhere.

In each instance the police or secret service will thoroughly look through the route he is traveling through for all possible access routes that could have a potential threat to stop or impede his movement or interfere with any aspect of his movement.

Now in like manner it is our responsibility to watch carefully to ensure that we only speak things that edify and build up our lives and line up with our expected end in God. We must refrain at all costs from allowing our mouths to speak and utter words that will potentially destroy our path and end us up in a place we had not planned but where our enemy wanted us to end up.

Now Jesus said that men would have to give account of every idle word they speak, meaning we need to set a guard over the words we speak because they carry life and death and whichever we yield to determines our outcome. Proverbs.19:2. This therefore involves us making conscious effort to watch out for our tongues just commenting arbitrarily without processing the implications of what a single negative word could cost us if we say it.

This certainly makes us more aware of the importance of the words we use and more proficient in our articulation and framing of our words to bring healing and life rather than death. The Holy Spirit reminded me that Jesus only spoke the words His Father said He should speak regardless of His thoughts on the matter. John.5:30-32. This also meant that Jesus only received all the Father had determined for Him because He had no words spoken on His decision but only on what His father had asked Him to speak.

Jesus went on to explain to the Pharisees that He only said what the Father wanted and refrained from saying His will. John.8:26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”

We see here that Jesus set a guard over His mouth so that His results would only reflect the will of His Father. Therefore we need to do likewise with our mouths if we are to experience His words about us happening and manifesting on our behalf.

We cannot afford to speak our words and expect what God wanted to happen for us to happen as we authored those words and we will then have to complete them. This is because we refused to only say what Jesus said but chose our words rather than His.

The Holy Spirit emphatically said we need to set the guards to our mouths ahead of time so we don’t just keep falling for the same mistakes over and over again.

For this reason He wanted me to see it from the perspective of a ruler and the care taken to preserve him and then apply that level of care to how we use our words so we are not ambushed and end up in a ditch we had not planned because we did not set the right guard from the inception.

As we progress this fact we will make more effort to avoid ruining our lives by idle words we have not refrained from speaking arbitrarily, by only speaking what the Lord said about any given situation.

Well today the Holy Spirit wants you to break that spell over you that keeps speaking negatively that ruins your hard work and robs you of the manifestation of the miraculous in your lives. Let the grace in these words propel you to only speak as the Holy Spirit gives utterance and refrain from just blurting out idle words so your outcomes will be what the Lord ordained for you of triumph in all things.

May the good hand of the Lord be with you as you speak only His word to you and about you in any and every situation so the Holy Spirit outcome of signs, wonders and miracles will overtake and overshadow your earthly experience in life and be your now portion that men can see and thus glorify your master Jesus. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time reminded me of the importance of keeping the word He has spoken to us at the centre of your heart in everyday life lest you drift away and find yourself sailing a path you never programmed or spoke in but, you have been maneuvered into by not staying completely focused on the exact word the Lord had spoken and, allowed distractions sent to steal the word affect your navigation.Hebrews.2:1-3

The Holy Spirit pointed out that when we navigate truth it is important that we ask the right questions of Him so that we know where we stand. It is not wrong to ask the Holy Spirit why we keep missing the mark. That is not a lack of faith but a clarification of facts so that we are resting on what truly the Lord wants and expects us to do rather than on speculation.

Peter the Lord reminded me was the only disciple who asked Jesus in Mark:11 about the state of the fig tree Jesus had cursed, though many others witnessed the same event. In fact it is Peter who asked and mentioned to Jesus that the fig tree He cursed was uprooted.

The small things we miss in the details most times mean we lose the concept and reality of events that happen around us. Jesus never mentioned a teaching of this level of faith on the fig tree incident. He just did it and moved on.

The reason we have the teaching is that Peter observed something supernatural and asked how that happened and Jesus then answered that question which has supplied us with a God principle on faith that we can live on because that is exactly what Jesus did.The example physically and the word to back it up. Show and tell which Jesus always demonstrated.

I learnt many years ago to ask the Holy Spirit why did I fail or what cost me that loss in a situation? In fact, by the time Jesus finished explaining in Mark:11 taking mountains became the reality to go for above talking to trees to move as Jesus gave the order to speak to immovable things and they will be uprooted and obey your voice.

Thank God for Peter’s willingness to ask questions or we would not have that truth available to use now. Be willing to ask the Holy Spirit questions so you can have truth clarified and avoid pitfalls based on concepts men have taught that only limit and rob you of true God answers.

How many mountains in your life have you seen removed and cast into the sea. All the mountains Moses climbed and Elijah went up are still there today and don’t move so we know that the principle Jesus explained to Peter makes tremendous power available to us that moves the immovable and impossible and that is what Jesus wanted us to know but only the question of Peter revealed that truth. Jesus did not volunteer it, it needed to be asked for inorder to have it.

I came to further realization of this fact years back when I asked the Lord why Samson needed to ask the Holy Spirit for water because he was thirsty when samson had just done a feat of slaying a thousand men in the power of the Holy Spirit and would have died had he not communicated that need to the Lord. Judges.15:14-20

Did the Holy Spirit not know or sense Samson’s desperate need and step in to provide him the water automatically from compassion. The Holy Spirit pointed out to me that we have to ask to receive and seek to find and knock for the door to open.

We initiate things with God by asking and then receive His miraculous response on our behalf. It is my questions to the Lord that have made me understand things because they don’t make sense naturally but the question allows the Holy Spirit to explain the complete meaning and basis for all the Lord does and will ever do on our behalf. Cultivate the habit of asking the Holy Spirit what the Lord wants you to do about all things that pertain to your lives.

I remember spending hours on the introductions in the Epistles praying through the words in the New Testament and the Holy Spirit pointing out to me as I looked at each one who qualified to receive what was in them and who did not regardless of what we thought or were told so I worked on what was necessary to qualify for what was written as they were addressed to a specific group of people who had walked a particular path that entitled them to certain benefits in the Lord.

Not everybody can have all things the Lord offers without fulfilling the criteria stipulated for that. As an example the Apostle Paul never told the Corinthians church to use the full armor of God against the schemes of the devil. Why, because they were already walking with the devil and in agreement with him because they were carnal, that is in opposition to God and His will so they were in no position to do combat with the person they were sided with.

Well I learnt so much from those study times and questions of the Lord and thus got to know why things, answers were so short of what God had promised because we believed wrong and had no concept of reality in truth and compromise meant we would not have results because we did not qualify to have them.

Well today you have received these words which should spark a renewed fire in you to pursue the Lord and ask the relevant questions that will sort out the dilemmas you are facing and give you a clear forward path directed by the Holy Spirit into paths of pleasantness and peace in the Lord in the word He has spoken over you.

Have a restful day in the Presence of the Lord basking in the new grace that the Holy Spirit has provided for you to stay on course with His will for you in Jesus Name. Amen.

Have a restful day in the Presence of the Lord basking in the new grace that the Holy Spirit has provided for you to stay on course with His will for you in Jesus Name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He reminded me to share with you that you need to stop reacting and making costly decisions on your enemies actions. The Holy Spirit only wants you to respond on what thus saith the Holy Spirit because that alone will stand and you can rest your life on the words of the Lord being established.

Make sure to keep your eyes on Jesus your Shepherd and where He is leading and follow then all will be well.

The Holy Spirit says stop making rash hasty decisions because it proves to your enemies that you are really not trusting the Lord but speculating. You don’t have to answer all the questions people ask you and you don’t need to cover up why you are not seeming to have quick answers by doing something rash and hasty just to prove that God is directing you. John.5:30.

The Holy Spirit wants you to remember that when in the wilderness Moses had the people camp in front of the Red Sea which looked rather silly and stupid because they were in a vulnerable place with no way forward seemingly and because God never wants us to retreat or go back as it was contrary to wise leading. However Moses just obeyed the Lord and set up camp there as He requested.

He did not need to explain the reason for this ridiculous action and did not need to come up with a rash, hasty decision to cover up for this seeming foolishness in the eyes of the people who were now questioning whether he was hearing from God or had gone wacky.

Well God had a reason for them to be in front of that sea because they were going to go forward and God was intending to do something that had never been done before and that was going to be there new story that would establish their name in history and give them a testimony that up until today has not been matched.Exodus.14:15-20.

So the Holy Spirit says stop allowing the pressure that things look awkward cause you to take rash decisions and hasty movements that position you outside the will of God because of what people will think or say about you or God.

Stop trying to defend God by doing what you think looks smart and sensible, God has a way beyond you and obedience to wait for Him to speak is what is required of you not premature hasty rash actions which rob you of His Divine intervention which will give you a new glorious testimony.Numbers.14:39-44.

The Holy Spirit pointed out that which phenomenal miracle in the bible ever happened in perfect conditions from our perspective. None of course as God always shows up to change a negative narrative and show His own perspective by a miraculous sign.

The Holy Spirit said to me did Peter walk on water in perfect conditions or was there a storm that was blowing, yes I said the storm was raging and yes Peter had not planned that event and looked at it over and over again to make sure he would do the right thing, no it happened at the spur of the moment and Peter acted on an instant instruction and has a testimony no other human has because he responded to Jesus by coming to Him on the water regardless of the conditions present at the time. Matthew.14:28 & 29.

Yes it looked rash and hasty to come out of the boat and walk on water but God gave the go ahead, and Peter did not flinch at the order to come considering whether it was possible or would the water hold me up or this has never happened before and all the human reasons that would prevent him from obeying God.

What the Holy Spirit pointed out to me was that all the other 11 disciples could have experienced the identical miracle but they all stayed in the comfort zone of the boat as there safety and not act on the instruction of the Lord to come out into a new realm of glory which He authored and would certainly complete as He did with Peter.

”Never hesitate on thus saith the Lord.”Numbers.23:19 & 20.

Take the step the Lord says and look silly to man but have the testimony God intends rather than take rash hasty natural actions to convince man you are smart and end up in a ditch somewhere having missed out on God’s best again.

As you hear these words let the grace flowing from them embrace you and propel you to restrain you from taking rash hasty decisions for the eyes of men and empower you to wait even in the most ridiculous position for the Lord and obey His instruction in that situation and have the most glorious testimony that you have ever experienced become a reality in your life today in Jesus name. Amen.

Have a new beginning in the Awesomeness of God’s power and might and go forth singing the horse and the rider thrown into the sea and me on the other side in victory with a new story of triumph in Jesus Name Amen. 2 Corinthians.2:14.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He spoke to me about drawing near to God and why it is important and what we then need to do once we have given time to the Lord. Our responsibility once we come near to the Lord and how we carry out that part determines our outcomes.

In James.4:7 & 8 which reads :7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Now it is not that I was unaware of this scripture but the Holy Spirit was highlighting it to me as the sword of the Spirit I needed to use to overcome the present situation that is confronting me and do what I needed to do to come out triumphant over what the enemy was using to keep me from progressing forward.

It is vital as I always say having learnt from the Holy Spirit not to assume we know how to deal with obstacles from our spiritual understanding but to consult the One who knows all things and has the evidence of its origin and can easily destroy it. Then try various things and come short only to have to retreat and extricate ourselves from gaps and errors we slipped into that give room to the enemy.

The apostle Paul encourages us having suffered much at the hands of the enemy to give no place to the devil.Ephesians.4:27 because we then have the issue of having to cast him out because he will not just leave because you repent.

So as the Holy Spirit spoke these words to me He reminded me through various confirming scriptures how true this principle is and how it is what Jesus used to have triumph continually over the enemy. Now as we are His disciples we must act as He acted to have what He had.

In Luke.4:1-15 we have the clear picture of this reality played out for us in the life of Jesus. We see Jesus drawing near to God having been led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the enemy. So we see that just going before the Lord to seek Him and know His will does not get rid of the devil.

The fact that the Father had called Jesus His beloved son in whom He was well pleased did not guarantee Jesus that Jesus would defeat the enemy. Jesus was going to have to resist the devil Himself before he would flee.

When satan tempted Jesus, Jesus responded with the word of the Lord to Him that it is written on each occasion and satan has no answer for what God has said so he ultimately had to go and seek another opportunity to attack Jesus when He was weak. He never found that opportunity because Jesus always drew near to the Father and went on to resist the devil.

The Holy Spirit went on to reiterate this fact with Moses, Gideon, Joshua, Samson and others with the scriptural references insisting on how after drawing close to the Lord it was there resisting of the enemy that brought the deliverance result.

The Lord never came down from heaven and destroyed the Egyptians in the Red Sea but Moses stretching out his rod was what closed the waters back in that brought the end for the Egyptians. In like manner the Lord never destroyed Midian in the case of Gideon until Gideon approached them in battle and brought them down as one man.

I cannot overemphasize the importance of drawing near to God because that is what enables us to have His power and hand working for us. However this is so that we can now resist the devil with the power of God rather than our human strength. It is imperative to get and use the God-breathed power or the anointing to destroy the works of the devil but we must exercise that authority.

This is why Jesus said to the Apostles in Luke.10:19 & 20: Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

I give you authority to destroy on the basis of your continued relationship and union with Me. It reads No union , no authority. It is important to stay close to the Lord to be empowered with His might to defeat the enemy.

This reality was so clearly portrayed to me by the Holy Spirit that meant I could now go full steam ahead and confront and bring down everything that was speaking contrary to God’s plan for my life. In other words, resist the devil steadfast in the faith.1 Peter.5:9. This is coming into a place of refusal to allow all satanic ventures to have any part in your life events.

Today therefore having received these words change your passive stance and become violent in your pursuit of what the Lord has ordained for you and muster all the strength you need through the grace supplied to you in these words and uproot, tear down, throw down and demolish every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God in your lives.

Then go on to build and plant every God birthed project in your life and go forth in triumph bearing fruit for the Kingdom of Jesus and establishing it on earth with signs, wonders and miracles that attest to the fact that Jesus is Lord which glorifies the Father and makes the Kingdom seen in real terms by men.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit I was reminded of the importance of waiting daily at the doorway of wisdom for direction on how to correctly navigate my day and lay hold of every good thing the Lord has prepared for me to partake of.

In Proverbs.8:34 & 35 we read these life giving words of wisdom and instruction :If you wait at wisdom’s doorway, longing to hear a word for every day, joy will break forth within you as you listen for what I’ll say.35 For the fountain of life pours into you every time that you find me,and this is the secret of growing in the delight and the favor of the Lord.

The Holy Spirit went on to stress the fact of being willing to come to Him with an open mind each morning for the relevant instruction and pathway for the day ahead of time because He knows the path that will give us triumph and what things are necessary to avoid that cause heartache and pain and guide us in paths of pleasantness and peace.

Standing at the doorway waiting for the wisdom of God is worth far more than having huge amounts of gold to buy whatever we want or desire,so let that be your pursuit.

As we long for what the Lord has to say through the Holy Spirit and desire it with all our hearts we are set to be strengthened as the joy of the Lord will break forth on our behalf. This means we cannot but win in every event that can possibly show up as fountains of life are poured out into us as we find the Lord’s leading and walk in obedience to His way forward for us.

These ingredients of longing, desiring and waiting on the Lord will guarantee growth in the understanding of the ways of God and bring delight to our souls as the favour of the Lord manifests through our lives for the glory of His awesome name.

This is the winning position and we need to build this discipline into our lives if we are going to experience all the Father has for us. We cannot afford to compromise on this pursuit daily but must at all costs do them faithfully the Holy Spirit pointed out just as Jesus did.

My prayer for you today is that as you hear these words grace will be imparted to you through them to take the action to come to the doorway of wisdom each morning and await the words of direction from the Lord.

This will ensure that the determined God breathed outcomes of triumph and a demonstration of the Holy Spirit and power through your lives in the accompanying signs, wonders and miracles that the Holy Spirit will manifest through you to glorify Jesus and establish His Kingdom on the earth for His glory in Jesus name. Amen

Let this practice become your daily routine and watch how productive and fruitful your life events will become as the Holy Spirit guides you into all truth in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He reminded me of how connected He is to Jesus and what having a relationship with Him does for our lives. The atmosphere we are able to create and have when the Holy Spirit is present not just for ourselves but what it makes available for others too.

In 2 Corinthians.3:16 & 17 we read these awesome words. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

The reality in this scripture is that we as humans are veiled about so many situations and things in life and are at a disadvantage because we lack the true understanding of how and what is necessary to correctly process them and come up with the right conclusions and solutions that will resolve the issues. We are most times blindsided because we are unable to see the full view/picture of what faces us.

This is why it is so important for us to repent and turn to the Lord because only when we turn to Him is the veil that covers our minds removed and we begin to see clearly what is evident in the Spirit to correct and make good what is lacking and deficient in any situation in life.

The covering or veil that blocks us is taken away when we turn to the Lord. This is why it is so important to develop a dedicated communion time with the Holy Spirit each day because the Lord Jesus is the Spirit. Remember John.14:26 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 Holy Spirit is one with Jesus and helps remove the veil on our hearts and minds to enable us embrace truth and know all things because He knows all things and can reveal them to us.

This progression goes much further because where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. If the Holy Spirit is present in any environment there will be freedom and liberty for people.

I realized as I have walked with the Holy Spirit that when I bring Him into any environment I come into people suddenly become spiritually aware and conscious and start to become even prophetic and aware of the true picture of situations.People seem to have insight into deep things, there spirits always seem to be energized.

I always stand in awe of what happens when the Holy Spirit begins His operation in the lives of men and women. I remember occasions when I had gone to the supermarket,in this particular event I met a former classmate of mine and I was with someone who I was mentoring at the time.

This guy/ classmate I had not seen since our days in secondary school and he recognised me and started speaking to the person I was mentoring about how to deal with an anointed person and not to take for granted someone full of the Holy Spirit.

When we were in school together I was not even saved so how did he know? He kept speaking words to the effect of how an anointed person should be treated to this disciple and what a privilege it was for her to have this available in her life.

I never said a word throughout the time and she kept marveling at how real the Lord was as she observed what the Holy Spirit did through that event and how He took hold of the tongue of someone to confirm to her, that her choice to commit to the Lord and follow Him by hearing from my experience with the Lord to be equipped for the Lord’s service as I had taught how the Holy Spirit would confirm true events to them to ensure they knew the truth in certain terms.

In other words, they have proof of the teaching they received.

Liberty was in the air because of the Holy Spirit who was present with me. This was commonplace with me when I went out shopping. I saw the Holy Spirit work miracles in people’s life everywhere which is exactly what happened in the life of the Apostles of Jesus and Jesus Himself. He met people where they were and changed their lives.

We forget that all the disciples who became Apostles of Jesus were called out from their circular jobs or business by Jesus to follow Him. The Kingdom is not just Church activities but it takes over the earth realm. In the book of Acts the men in Ephesus described Paul as the man changing the world upside down. However it is really upside up, because the Kingdom is what is true life going upwards.

We need to be able to bring the Kingdom reality to people where they are by bringing the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to exude the liberty and freedom of Jesus to those oppressed of the devil and make people’s lives new.

The liberty the Holy Spirit brings is not an allowance for every fleshly evil actions and all types of vulgarity, but true freedom from the things of sin and iniquity and other forms of bondage and oppression of the devil.

I pray that as you hear and receive this word it will take root in your heart and become your pursuit. May you walk in the grace these words supply to you and become an agent of bringing the liberty of the Holy Spirit everywhere you go and a complete change of environment that brings Jesus on the scene and an expansion of His Kingdom on earth.

Remember that it is simple obedience to what Jesus says that brings results. The Holy Spirit wants each of us to walk in the place Jesus ordained for us to walk and will help us if only we are willing to obey Him and follow His path for life.

May the Holy Spirit guide you to walk everyday in the liberty He supplies and make you into a new being that truly represents Jesus in signs, wonders and various miracles that glorify Jesus and turn souls to Him to serve and follow Him with their lives in Jesus name. Amen.

Each morning as I get up and have communion time with the Holy Spirit I am always awed by the level of insight, understanding and life that the Holy Spirit possesses and then open myself completely to what He has in store for the day. I pray today that you will find the grace to give the Holy Spirit the inception of your day and allow Him to set the tone of your productivity and fruitfulness for each day going forward so you experience all the fullness of God in your lives 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 completely 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 such 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 completely different matter 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 and Divine Design.”

Look again carefully 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 on a daily basis. 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 fresh 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.
