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.
