Today is the day the Lord has made and we rejoice and we are glad in it. Celebrate a new day of new beginnings. Today is always a fresh start. The Holy Spirit in my communion time with Him this morning spoke clearly about how we use our time in evaluating people’s words versus submitting to the voice and leading of the Holy Spirit.
We need to prioritize our confession and agreement with the Holy Spirit and His words far more regularly and purposefully because it is through His word that we will make our way prosperous and find good success.
The Holy Spirit pointed out that just as Jesus said in John.5:19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. We need to put more emphasis and total reliance on what the Holy Spirit reveals to us far more than our minute knowledge.
Remember that Jesus regardless of being the word of God Himself did not rely on His knowledge of the word but the revelation the Holy Spirit gave Him of the word for each day to carry out.
Let this word minister life to you today in Jesus name. Amen.
The Holy Spirit says today how much time are you spending observing what the Holy Spirit is saying and doing versus walking in what you believe you know of the word of God?
It is very easy to fall into a routine of just doing for God because that is what you have been trained to do rather than submitting and yielding to the Holy Spirit to do what He is leading and guiding you to do which is outside the natural realm of things and requires faith to execute. 2 Corinthians.3:6.
In Joshua.1:1-7 the Lord points out to Joshua all the promises of what will be for Joshua as he takes up the mantle to lead the people after the death of Moses and they are very impressive, but in verse 8 the Lord points out to Joshua a clear condition on which all the promises will rest which Joshua will need to follow and abide by if he is to experience and enjoy all the blessings the Lord pointed out in verses 1-7 of Joshua.
Today the Holy Spirit wants to show you what your priorities ought to be and how much attention you need to be putting to the things that matter most rather than the things you believe you need to be doing. Let’s look at Joshua.1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Now the first commandment revealed here is that the book of the law which in our lives today is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus which makes us free from the law of sin and death not departing from our mouths, not just our thoughts and our reading over daily, but from our mouths. Romans.8:1-17.
How much of what Jesus is saying are we echoing out with our mouths in our daily lives about who we are in Him day and night. We need to as the redeemed of the Lord to say so Psalm.107:2.
Secondly, following our saying which is a part of meditating anyway which we should be doing day and night because our saying with our mouths is our confession which brings our deliverance or salvation. It does not matter how much you believe if you do not verbalize that belief with a confession you will remain bound.Romans.10:10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation..
This confession with your mouth empowers you to observe what the Lord is saying to you through the Holy Spirit in order for you to carry out His instructions. It is after this process that your way will become prosperous and you will begin to find good success in life. You will observe the path in the Spirit to take not the obvious one in the natural.
We cannot jump the process and expect good success to be our reward. Joshua himself many years before this time was a faith man and when sent on the mission to spy out the land said let us go up at once and take it. He had faith that sought to take but lacked the voice of the Lord’s leading and would end up in a ditch because the Lord never guided the plan so the ability to produce the result would not be provided.
If this many years on God is commanding him to meditate till he observes to do, what was he going to do in those years before to take the land having not taken the time to meditate and know what the Lord was saying. We need to be wise and not foolish in acting out in presumption on what we think God wants rather than waiting till the Holy Spirit tells us what He wants done.
As Moses always said I am not moving till the Lord moves then I will follow Him and we will have triumphant results.
I believe the Holy Spirit wants you positioned in a place where you will have good success because you focus in, on the Lord and have His direction and guidance in moving forward. As it says of David and David inquired of the Lord on what to do and each time the Lord showed him what to do he had good success.
May you today find grace in the Holy Spirit to give time to meditate on the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus and observe from the Lord’s perspective what you ought to do and go forth in the direction of the Holy Spirit rather than your opinion of the situation. Remember God’s thoughts and ways are much higher than yours and you need to yield to His in order to move forward. Isaiah.55:8-11.
May grace be imparted to you today to hold back from premature action and meditate and observe the moving of the Holy Spirit and find the path and course He is leading and walk into triumphant, victorious ventures which will serve as a platform of God results in your life in Jesus’ name. Amen. John.3:8.
