This morning in my communion time the Holy Spirit directed me to declare Psalms 144-150 in worship to the Lord. I have come to realize as a pattern that this happens with me on occasions when I have time with the Holy Spirit. I have found from experience that after the declaration of the Psalms, I always experience a new sphere of glory from the Lord resulting in a new and greater impact in my life of the Presence of the Holy Spirit. The word does say that God inhabits the praises of His people. Psalm.22.3.
I recall the time when I was shepherding a group of professionals on a weekly programme and the Holy Spirit directed me to instruct them to declare the psalms daily for a month. It was such a rewarding experience hallmarked with numerous wonderful testimonies that happened in each of their lives after obeying those instructions.
There were several financial breakthroughs and work promotions and rising up in work position status as a result of that daily confession of the Psalms.
This morning was no different as I went to the Psalms from 144-150 the Holy Spirit brought me to a pause as I declared Psalm.145:10-12 from the Passion translation of the bible which reads these words: Everything you have made will praise you, fulfilling its purpose. And all your godly ones will be found bowing before you.11 They will tell the world of the lavish splendor of your kingdom and preach about your limitless power.12 They will demonstrate for all to see your miracles of might and reveal the glorious majesty of your kingdom.
Now let me share with you some of what the Holy Spirit went on to share with me as I declared these words of life. Everything God made has the responsibility to praise the Lord as it fulfills the purpose God intended it to do on the earth.
Remember with the Lord there is always a cause and purpose for everything and the Holy Spirit always announces the purpose before it happens. Jesus spoke of the stones rising up to praise Him as He marched triumphantly into Jerusalem when He was questioned by the Jewish leaders about why He accepted the praises of the people in Matthew.19:40 But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.”
Now we should never fail in our responsibility to offer the Lord our sacrifice of praise which is the fruit of our lips continually as we don’t want stones to replace us and gain our due reward. Hebrews.13:15.
Next we as God’s people and followers should be found in a position of bowing to our Master in surrender just as we see happen continually in heaven as John recorded in the book of Revelation of the heavenly elders before the Throne of God.
They cast their crowns before Him in submission and total adulation of His superior position, not flaunt them before Him in pride. Salient lesson for us all to heed. This is our position of surrender the Holy Spirit pointed out to me in reverence to the Awesomeness of the nature and Person of the Lord.
Now the next response after bowing in humility before the Lord is the exalted position that is bestowed upon the recipient who bows in surrender to the Lord for service is that we are then given a responsibility to carry out on the earth.
This responsibility is to be witnesses of the lavish splendor of the kingdom of Jesus to the world by demonstration and preaching about the limitless power of the Lord. Mark.16:17-20.
The Holy Spirit harped on this reality that we need to preach on how great God is and not our weakness or failures to obey Him. This enables men to decide for themselves as they witness the incomparable power of the Lord at work rather than the weakness of man. We must share just how great God is and what He is able to accomplish in the affairs of men.
Certainly not our failures in the process of serving Him. The failure of man is constantly evident in everyday life and what we need to witness is the faithful love and loyalty of an Omnipotent and all powerful God who can accomplish marvels on our behalf.
Just look at verse.12 We are to demonstrate for all to see the miracles of God’s might and thus reveal the glorious majesty of Jesus’s Kingdom here on earth.
As I have been prophesying by the Holy Spirit in my posts we are in the season where we will see the faith of Jesus at work in the life of His followers and lovers by unprecedented miracles, signs and wonders that will startle men at the greatness of who Jesus actually is and the reign of His Kingdom on earth for men to see and turn to Him for refuge and deliverance in life.
We need to be living in a place of total surrender and humility before the Lord so the Holy Spirit can grace us with everything necessary to walk in the place of triumph the Lord has ordained and purposed for us to walk in the now of life.
As I declared these words before the Lord you can now see why I say my sphere of glory arose and became more expansive because this plan had been declared by king David about what the Lord would do with His followers in these latter days that would far outweigh what He had done in the past through His chosen servants.
The Holy Spirit is pointing out that this is not a new plan of the Lord’s but the season of the fulfilling of an ancient plan God always had ready to manifest for the deliverance and saving of men’s souls which He would impart on His lovers and followers to do to demonstrate the knowledge of His glory on the earth as the waters cover the sea.
“The Lord wants men to be overcome, overrun and overshadowed by the might of the Holy Spirit’s power on earth.”
I pray today that as you hear these words your spirits will be quickened to the time and season you are in and take swift action through the grace supplied through these words to reposition yourselves back in full alignment to bowing in humility and seeking with your whole hearts the Lord to be ready to partake of this move of the Holy Spirit.
Repent of every way in which you are coming short and do not fear to confess your weakness to the Lord because He already knows it. It is us that need to acknowledge our shortcomings so the Holy Spirit can free us.
This allows for grace to empower us to be fit and able because it is the power of the Lord at work in us both to will and to do for His good pleasure. May you seek with all your being the Lord and find all the might He has available for you so that your life will be a true representation of His glory on earth for men to see and turn to Him in Jesus name. The result will be an expanding His kingdom on earth of which there is no end in Jesus’ name. Amen.
