Month: July 2024 (Page 2 of 2)

The Holy Spirit reminded me this morning in my communion time with Him of His role and responsibility towards us as pointed out by Jesus in John.14:25 & 26 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 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 importance of the role of the Holy Spirit to bring back to our remembrance the things Jesus spoke to us before. This is because when we hear truth it sparks light and life to us, but when attacks and tribulation arise because of that word we gradually lose sight of the words spoken and start drifting and it is the reminders that the Holy Spirit gives that ignites a new passion and desire to see those words fulfilled in our lives. Mark.4:16-19.

So today let these words of reminder stir you back to taking action so you can reap the benefits God intended for you when He first spoke those words. Jesus never wants you to come short of any word He has spoken over your life and will continually send you reminders through the Holy Spirit till you experience that truth manifested in your life experience. So let these words minister afresh to you the wonders of the Lord towards you and captivate your hearts to take the necessary action for your triumph in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him shared with me so many different truths and reminders of my position in Him and the responsibilities I have to steward what He reveals to me. He spoke to me about how we must prioritize our time and what are the things we need to stop doing that are not profitable to our life and wellbeing and how to use our time more profitably.

Although we follow His daily leadings we are not to get comfortable in what is happening through our lives but press in for more of what God has in store for us and keep that momentum running rather than rest on our laurels because God has done some mighty thing on our behalf.

We have been given the responsibility to use the time the Lord gives us each day to establish and multiply out the Kingdom of Jesus through our lives and bring Him much fruit which remains. Ephesians.5:15 & 16.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of when Jesus spoke to His disciples in Luke.12:35-38 “Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; 36 and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them. 38 And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

You can clearly see from the way Jesus spoke here that though He had encouraged them about what God had provided for them and made available for them He expected them to respond faithfully and He would test their faithfulness in being alert and ready to do what the Master needed at any given point in time.

This is a priority with the Lord in our relationship with Him and it will be tested to see where we are at given points in time and you won’t know when so it is incumbent on you to be ready always.

Let us look at the commands Jesus gives here: let your waists be girded with truth which the Apostle Paul and Peter go on to emphasize in their letters to those who will follow the Lord.

In Ephesians.6:14 in putting on the whole armor of God Paul starts by saying gird up your loins with truth; this term gird means to ready oneself for action, encircling yourself with truth, well that certainly requires doing something as in order to defeat your enemy who is constantly throwing lies and deception around you must of necessity be confessing truth and establishing it in your heart with as much or more intensity if you are to defeat it controlling your actions.

You cannot cast down what you tolerate or allow to flow and pass through your mind. You need to actively rebuke and reject its right to determine your mindset by disallowing it. Ephesians.4:27. Remember that the truth you know and apply alone will make you free and keep you free.

“Truth not applied is dormant and will not work for you.” Hence we are told to gird ourselves with it, in an active state of mind which Jesus, Paul and Peter each insisted we as disciples need to do.

Let us look at what Peter pointed out on what to do when he said gird ourselves in 1 Peter.:13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Again we see it requires action on our part to take control of our mind and Peter here speaks about the reproductive part of your mind being so encircled with truth and sober, not in presumption, or arrogance, or foolish thinking but resting completely on the grace which the Holy Spirit will bring to you by revelation.

In other words your mouth must be actively declaring the truth and establishing it in your hearts so that you are constantly ready to take the action the Holy Spirit will require you to take when the hour of manifestation arrives.

In Peter’s life this occurs in Acts.10:9 Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. Peter has to take the initiative to go pray and engage with God and then goes on to have the trance and the Holy Spirit breaks through with the truth to cause Peter to take action which he would never have done because of the mindset that he had as a jew which required that action.

He now had to gird his mind with the new truth which he heard Jesus speak about time and again but it had not quite registered with him but would come through that day as the Holy Spirit ministered it to him and said now go with those men without doubting.

Watch how that singular event Peter engaged in and girded his mind with truth on became the catalyst that birthed these words in Acts.10:34-35 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. which made salvation a reality for me and you today and every human being on earth who would choose to follow Jesus and work righteousness.

Be encouraged by how that singular event changed Peter eternally as He engaged with the Holy Spirit in because he chose to gird his mind with the truth the Holy Spirit gave him and got to see God in action in a new dimension in Acts.10:44-48 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.

Then Peter answered, 47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days. God knew what Cornelius had done for His name and had lived out and was going to reward him for that and no bias of Peter was going to stop that happening.

My prayer and heartfelt desire for you today is that you engage in girding the loins of your heart and minds completely on the truth the Holy Spirit reveals and allow Him to bring forth every thing He has assigned for you to do in the Spirit for the advancement of the Kingdom which will glorify His name. May you always find grace to be in the bullseye of God’s will and purpose for your lives and be girded to execute on His behalf in the prescribed time for His glory in Jesus name. Amen.

Take some quality time today and meditate these words over and over again, look over the scriptures again and let them become a part of your life and you will see more expansion of the life of Jesus made available to you and much increase of productivity for the Kingdom in Jesus name. Amen.

It is delightful to have a friend who always keeps you informed on the truth, so you can overcome and defeat any lie anytime. Well my precious ones, that friend is the Holy Spirit and He wants you to experience the whole truth in every situation in life so you are constantly walking in freedom because knowing the truth makes you free. John.16:13-15.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning He shared with me more things about His nature and characteristics. His way of doing things and how we should cooperate more with Him to gain better results in quicker time with less effort in the rest which He supplies for us to achieve the miraculous for God.

We need to remind ourselves that Jesus has already done everything necessary for us to reign as kings in this life. Romans.5:17. We have the responsibility to yield to the plan the Holy Spirit has and surrender to the walk necessary in Jesus to bring about the answer of triumph in all things.

We just have to yield to the voice of the Holy Spirit to accomplish the heart of the Lord. In Ephesians.2:10 we read these beautiful words Paul learnt from the Holy Spirit by revelation For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. The power behind these words are very revealing and should make you ecstatic and joyous to know this fact.

If we are the workmanship of God then there is no deficiency in us because God has no deficient materials He uses to build anything.

Look around you: what has God ever created that has failed to do what God made it to do including seeds that are planted becoming trees which in due season become producers of multiplied fruit. Check out the sun that comes out each day and supplies both heat and light and even vitamin d without fail since its inception when God placed it in operation without ever breaking down or losing its power or energy and running out of fuel. What a glorious God we serve.

Now you are the workmanship of God created in Christ Jesus. What did Christ Jesus do? He went about doing good healing all who were oppressed of the devil for God was with Him. In like manner because you also are the handiwork of the Lord created in the same image of Jesus with the same might and power He walked in to carry out good works which He prepared for you to do which you should walk in.

How should that fail when God never fails.

We need to trust the Holy Spirit more. We need to submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit for God to work those good things He prepared for us to do beforehand.

I remember the first day I laid hands on a sick person and they got healed. It was a glorious experience because the person went from pain to ecstasy in a moment as the healing virtue of God touched them. The Holy Spirit was pleased I could begin to work and operate in the things of healing that Jesus had prepared for me to experience to glorify His name.

The Holy Spirit remains the same and wants us to experience His mighty power working through us in greater dimensions. I recall when in Botswana I had a day when I had agreed to see so many people to counsel them individually on things they needed answers from the Lord on and that morning the Holy Spirit said cancel all appointments and tell them to come to the evening meeting and they will have the answers to all their dilemmas.

I spent that whole day with the Holy Spirit as opposed to my morning communion time and only came out to attend the meeting.

That Day after the worship time I led the Holy Spirit did what I could not and healed and gave answers to all I was to see privately and more without me having to lay a hand on anyone and I learnt a lesson of the Holy Spirit being able to do far more with me than I alone laying hands. I left that meeting more energized with so many God miracles allowing the Holy Spirit to do the work only He can do and go with Him on the ride.

To this day that is how the Holy Spirit still works the miraculous in and through my life. You are welcome to come into the more exceedingly great and precious promises the Lord has available for you to experience by agreeing with the Holy Spirit.

I pray today as you hear these words which are meant for your enrichment and edification you will step into the grace the Holy Spirit has available for you and begin to function in the good works which God prepared for you to walk in because you also are His workmanship created for signs and wonders to be wrought through your lives.

Surrender your heart to function in the way of the Lord. Give the Holy Spirit your thoughts and ask Him to purge your conscience from every dead work so you can serve the Lord again in Spirit and in truth in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit said to me this morning in my communion time with Him, do I want to ride with Him further and deeper in the realms of glory where He is in His vehicle of glory? Or am I satisfied to remain in the place of just enough not manifesting the overflowing bounty of His oceans of glory. You will then ask me where have you been riding then?

I have been riding daily with the direction and guidance of the Holy Spirit but He wants us to be completely overtaken by His Presence and producing an outpouring of the Anointing of the Holy Spirit that changes Nations in a day and makes righteousness the desire of the hearts of men.

It speaks of riding with the Lord on the heights of the earth in Isaiah.58:13&14 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the Lord honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words,14 Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Let us take a journey with the Holy Spirit on this level place that He controls and directs so that we can partake of everything He says we can have and experience the fullness of God. Sabbath or the day of rest is very important to God.

In fact God in Genesis.2:1-3 we read Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. The Lord starts His relationship with man from the seventh day which is the day when He rested and called us to enter that rest with Him.Hebrews.4:1-10.

Man was not involved in the work of the creation process with the Lord till the seventh day, the rest day of God. All human activity on earth started after all things worked perfectly on the earth and the Lord set man as the Manager or administrator of all He had created for man to experience and enjoy.

From the Holy Spirit’s perspective sabbath is a time of delighting ourselves in the Lord completely and giving Him our undivided attention. Now the thing I love so much about the Lord is that He spells it out clearly for us what He wants and requires us to do and what He will then do for us as we obey Him.

Look what He requests we do: then stop doing what pleases you on My day and start calling doing Me your delight, and the holy day of the Lord honorable by not doing your own ways, that is the thoughts, opinions you take and then carry out that become a way for you that always leads to death. I beseech you cease from doing that.

How about stop finding your own pleasure, and not speaking your own words? Our words are not Spirit and life as Jesus pointed out in John.6:63. What would our results look like when we stop acting on our own initiative?

So stop speaking your own words and only speak thus says the Lord. Then watch the difference in your results. God’s words on your mouth produce life and change circumstances.

When this happens and you are delighting in the Lord, not just calling spending quality, dedicated, secluded time to the Lord a delight, this is when you will start riding where God rides on the heights and high places of the earth. The place where you begin to influence what happens in nations and determine the results that happen.Revelation.1:10.

When you find this place in God with the Holy Spirit you will begin walking and riding where God rides in His chariots of fire and Divine control of all situations and affairs in life. This is the place of supreme glory that the Holy Spirit wants all disciples of Jesus to walk in: The place of all authority that Jesus Has over everything in heaven and on earth.Hebrews.1:1-4. Matthew.28:18-20.

In Hebrews.4:9-11 we are told There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

I came to see that even John in the book of revelation got those mighty words on the Lord’s day which is sabbath where He was alone, by himself with no distractions. He could focus completely on the Lord and just look at his results. Finding the place of rest in what God has done and already completed is the greatest place to walk in because you are on a roll and ride with and by God and therefore cannot fail if you remain riding there.

I pray that as you have heard these words of truth the grace to walk in them will be supplied to you and you will take the action to sabbath delight with the Lord and come into the place where you ride with the Lord in His place and experience life from His Perspective while riding in His vehicle of glory. He hides you in the secret place of His Pavilion from the strife of tongues and the secret place of His Presence from the plots of men. The place Jesus walked that men could not harm or touch Him.

May you be enriched by the potency of these truths that propels you into the magnificence of His glory that will radiate through you and bring full glory to His magnificent Name as you bear much fruit that remains in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants you to begin setting time on purpose to meet with Him to be taught and instructed in righteousness. I know you will say that you give Him time each day, but He wants you to now prioritize the time you take with Him and bring structure to it. Make it as a set plan each day as you do to go to work for your employer or business.

You will not be slack concerning being at work on time because you are looking to be faithful to your boss or business profit. You also are making sure of your salary each month being paid and for that reason you will even wake up earlier to ensure that you are available early to start your day of work for your employer to demonstrate your commitment to the role.

Well today that is the mindset that the Holy Spirit wants you to apply to your walk with the Lord as that shows how valuable you think relationship with Jesus actually is to you and your commitment is demonstrated in what you are willing to do to please Him. Exodus.20:3.

In Luke.5:16 we read these words about Jesus However, He made a practice of withdrawing to remote places in order to pray. Now you can see from this passage that Jesus made withdrawing from people His practice to find deserted places so that He could pray and spend time with the Holy Spirit to know what He ought to do because that was His priority. John.5:19.

Now we know that Jesus was sent to help people because the Father sent Him to earth to save the souls of men, so you would think that His practice would be to withdraw from God and spend time with the people because that is how He would be able to reach them by being with them and convincing them to change.

However Jesus’s practice was to withdraw from men and pursue God and then from the overflow of being with God give man what he needed. This practice worked perfectly and enabled Jesus to accomplish the plan of God to the letter and avail us of so great a salvation. No wonder why the disciples asked Jesus in Luke.11 to teach them how to pray.

For some reason we seem to believe that giving the Lord prescribed and arranged time is a crime or bondage and we can be slack with that because doing things for people is the priority.

Well Jesus said that we should seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and then all the other things will be added unto us. Jesus also said that except we deny ourselves daily, take up our cross and follow Him we cannot become His disciples. Well I have just pointed out what Jesus made His practice and we will need to follow that practice if we are truly following Him because that is what He did and that cannot be denied. Matthew.16:24.

In the book of Acts.6:2-4 we read these words: Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. 3 Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; 4 but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.

Now the followers of Jesus make the priority not serving people but giving themselves to prayer continually and then the ministry of the word to people which is exactly what they observed their Master Jesus do and saw how successful that was for His mission and followed suit in theirs.

When conflict arose about how they used their time they clearly pointed out that it is undesirable to leave the practice of prayer and seeking God to minister to people’s needs because that is our priority. Just look at their results as they kept the priority of withdrawing to seek God their daily practice.

Well today the Holy Spirit wants to remind you and stir you back up to the place of prioritizing your time with Him as your practice again. Then watch and see how much your life will again begin to take the God shape and progress more rapidly as you go on to produce much more fruit.

All this because your priority shifts back to your original practice of withdrawing to be filled with the Holy Spirit and coming out loaded with the Presence and power of God that will change lives eternally and expand Jesus’s Kingdom reach on the earth.

I pray today that as you hear these words, zeal for the Fathers house will again consume your hearts and minds and, propel you through the grace supplied you by the Holy Spirit to be about the Father’s business of withdrawing to be empowered by the Holy Spirit and returning to show forth His glory to men and that cycle continuing day by day so that the name of Jesus is glorified and His Kingdom expanded on the earth.

Let this be your purpose in Jesus’ name. Amen. John.2:17.

The Holy Spirit said to me as I had my communion time with Him this morning to minister this word to you today as a refreshing from the Presence of the Lord to restore all things back to you and reposition you to take hold of your divine inheritance in Jesus. Acts.3:19,20 & 26.

The Holy Spirit is all over me to share this word and bring healing to all who are broken hearted because the promises of God are yet to be fulfilled . These are the Lord’s special ones who have been betrayed, suffered loss and feel like their service of God has not been rewarded but have rather experienced much pain and anguish.

These contrary results to what you expected have happened even though you obeyed what the Lord required of you. Though you have served the Lord by giving up much with little or no reward forthcoming. You have remained faithful to the word. However in spite of these things the Lord still remains faithful and will fulfill His plan in your lives. 2 Peter.3:9-12.

Well today the Lord wants to minister to you and give you the true picture of where things really are, and heal you of every hurt and brokenness you feel and experience. 2 Corinthians.4:17 & 18.

In Isaiah.49:14-18 it reads “But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me, And my Lord has forgotten me.”15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.16 See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.17 Your sons shall make haste;

Your destroyers and those who laid you waste Shall go away from you.18 Lift up your eyes, look around and see; All these gather together and come to you. As I live,” says the LORD, “You shall surely clothe yourselves with them all as an ornament, And bind them on you as a bride does.

Firstly and most importantly the Lord has not forsaken you, so know that as a fact that no matter what happened with men the Lord has not left you. He is there for you. You need to lift up your eyes and focus on Him, and turn away from the hurt men have caused you.Hebrews.13:5.

Secondly the Lord has not forgotten you in fact He has inscribed you on the palms of His hand which implies He cannot move His hands without you being a beneficiary of what He does. Take a moment and pause and just let that truth sink in, you are tied in His hands and no one can stop the hand of God from moving and accomplishing marvels and fulfilling ancient plans faithfully and truly. Isaiah.59:1.

The Holy Spirit then said I should look up the word inscribed so I would have a clearer picture of what the Lord meant when He said inscribed. I have found that what we think a word means from what we learned in our school days or life and what that word really means are completely different and the Holy Spirit always reminds me to check the word so I get the true import of what has been said. Isaiah.49:16.

Inscribed means to print as a lasting record so the Lord has printed us our image on the palm of His hand as a lasting record of all that He wants to do, establish and fulfill His will and plan for our lives. That reality means that anything and everything needed for us to succeed His hand will surely provide and perform to ensure we walk in the miracles, signs and wonders His hand can perform to fulfill His word to us.

Now how can we say He has forgotten or forsaken us then? Perish that lying tongue of the enemy and lay hold of the thoughts of your Father who loves you and will do everything to lift you up, recover you and restore all that belongs to you. John.10:29.

The Lord goes on to point out how if mothers don’t forget the child at their breasts and even says when some forget or sleep from fatigue, He the Lord never will because He never slumbers nor sleeps but keeps us from all evil. Isaiah.49:15

Now these are the real facts for your life even though you feel your heart has been broken.

Now as an act of obedience, throw off the lies of satan that God has forsaken and forgotten you and embrace the truth you have now received and walk free today.

Choose on purpose now to never go back to that thought that God is not for you and as you lift your eyes today in thanksgiving to the Lord, experience His abounding love overflowing towards you. Then lay hold of every promise He has ever given you and determine you will walk in it without fail in the name of Jesus and will allow the Holy Spirit to guide and lead you to all the Hand of the Lord has for you in Jesus’ name. Amen.

In conclusion, take the time to meditate on Isaiah.49 and let it become part of your daily life. It is always a wonder to see how the word takes shape in our lives as we embrace and receive it fully manifested in our lives.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him has stirred me up to take more action on receiving my inheritance by requesting me to ask more from the Lord and expect to see far greater manifestations of what Jesus has promised me in this present season.

When Jesus said in John.14:12-14 these life giving words “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

Jesus was addressing His closest followers and preparing them for the work He had prepared for them to do and was giving the final orders to them on how they should function moving forward from this moment. As I have mentioned time again the Holy Spirit had pointed out to me that He does not engage in idle conversation so when He is saying something to us it is important and we need to give it our full attention as a priority by stopping what we are doing and listen carefully to what thus saith the Holy Spirit.

Now with that mindset in place let us now look at what Jesus is declaring to His followers what He wants and expects them to do in representing Him. I mentioned previously that Jesus wants us to share His platform and experience everything He did and more because that gives Him greater glory. John.15:8.

It makes Jesus happy and proud when any of His followers raises the dead back to life or heals a cripple or leper or gives sight to a blind person, or causes the deaf to hear. This is because He Jesus was manifested to destroy the works of the devil and loves to show through us His followers that His mission has never changed. He wants men free to serve Him as Adam did in the garden of Eden without trouble and any forms of disease or bondage and oppression. Just look at the life of Adam before the fall. 1 John.3:8.

Each disciple He was addressing in John.14 was aware of the works Jesus did and knew that they were remarkable things that would cause people to marvel. They needed to heed what Jesus was saying to them because they were accustomed to Him saying many impossible things which they saw come to pass in His life. No word Jesus ever spoke to them or they witnessed ever fell to the ground. They all came to pass.

This reality of emulating Jesus in deed was what they were facing now because Jesus was preparing them to start performing the same works He did and greater. They were about to reap the benefits of giving up everything for His sake and He wanted them to know without a shadow of doubt what was going to begin to happen in their lives.

I recall when I accepted the call to follow Jesus as I was walking up Regent Street in London the Holy Spirit drew my attention to a suitcase shop and so I entered it and He said to me to buy a suiter and suitcase which I would use to travel going to share His word to Nations.

I had at that point not arranged any trips but was following the Holy Spirit daily as He guided me on what I needed to do. Well within a month of that time I started traveling to go share the truths the Lord had given me over that year and those two items I had bought were my traveling companions for the trip the following year and for years to come.

I was so grateful I obeyed the Lord because the missions happened so suddenly I would not have had the time to go purchase those items and would have needed to spend much more money because I would have needed to buy them on the spur of the moment.

The Holy Spirit in advance had shown me where to buy them and in listening and obeying His voice I was in position for what was coming. Always obey what the Holy Spirit instructs you to do even if you don’t understand or comprehend it and think it is not feasible. John.2:5.

This is exactly what Jesus was preparing His disciples for in John.14 to do the works He had done and greater. All they needed to do was take those words, meditate on them , confess them and promptly obey them and prepare their hearts for the manifestation of those works in their lives in the upcoming ministry with signs and wonders following. Jesus did not invite them to doubt His words but to believe them with all their hearts so they could walk in them in the now of life.

I have found that season after season the Holy Spirit has prepared me with words of promise as Jesus gave in John.14 and as I have obeyed them by taking time in the wilderness preparing my heart by prayer and fasting to make a clear path for the word of the Lord to come to pass. Then I watched the Lord bring those words to pass with me walking in the miraculous just as the Holy Spirit had pointed out and revealed through visions and prophetic words happen exactly as the Lord said. Acts.27:25.

I recall when in the USA on my first mission there the Holy Spirit spoke to me about Him the Lord coming to make His home with and in me.

In John.14:15-18 we read these words “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

As I shared those words with that Church that day the Holy Spirit said to me I have made home with you so you will now experience everything I have from heaven which Jesus has granted you on the earth and there will be a manifestation of the reality of the Holy Spirit in my life which went on to happen and still does today as the Holy Spirit shows up and does what only He can do through me.

It is a wonderful and glorious happening when the Holy Spirit fulfills a vision or word He spoke to you and you actually are part of the making of a miracle which changes the lives of people.

I pray today that as you hear these words you will be stirred to action and recollect all the other words the Holy Spirit spoke to you in past times that you ignored and find the grace to take the necessary action and time of seeking diligently the face of the Lord which positions you on the side of triumph in Jesus and become the fruit bearer Jesus created you to be for the glory of His name.

May all the shame and disgrace that has seemed to characterize your life be swallowed up and you become a fervent worker and co-heir of the works of Jesus for men to see and glorify Jesus’s name on earth. May there be an establishment of His Kingdom of which there is no end to its expansion on earth be revealed through your life. Father grant this I pray in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit in my communion time pointed out to me this morning three fruits of sin that we need to deal with because they keep surfacing in our daily lives. I was shocked as I always try to do my best to stay away from sin and commit myself to His care and grace to live pleasing to Him each day.

I always endeavor to die to my opinions, my desires and anything in me that can hinder the Lord flowing freely through me. So I paid close attention as I know the Lord does not just speak accusingly and I was ready to make the corrections and make whatever adjustments I needed to in order to be free from any sin lurking in my sphere and life.

The Holy Spirit spoke to me from Proverbs:21.4 which simply says Arrogance, superiority, and pride are the fruits of sin. As I engaged with Him I realized that it spoke about the fruit of sin which means there is a tree there which needs to be dealt with before complete deliverance can be achieved. I was needing to deal with how the tree was planted in the first place and pull out the roots from my life.

My eyes were open to see the reality of these three trees which are constantly producing fruit and I noted that I am constantly dealing with the fruit of those trees rather than uprooting the tree. I understood from this dialogue that as long as the tree remains I will continue to partake of the fruit.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of what Jesus had said that every tree My Father had not planted would be uprooted. Not every fruit of the tree and that’s a huge difference. We humans always want to deal with the fruit and avoid the time and energy it would take to uproot the tree.Luke.3:9.

However the Holy Spirit always goes to the roots of the tree in order to prevent it happening again because as long as the tree remains there will always be fruit. So let me share today a little on the tree of Arrogance that the Holy Spirit brought to light. He first made me look at what arrogance truly is so I could not hide in what my understanding of the definition of the word is .

So let us look at the definition of arrogance from Webster’s Dictionary: an exaggerated sense of one’s importance that shows itself in the making of excessive or unjustified claims. Well who can say I am not guilty of that.

We even exaggerate our importance to God and what we did is what we generally want people to look at. Remember Joseph when he pointed out to the Butler the importance of mentioning what he had done for him, his right interpretation of the dream, by recommending him to Pharoah.

Now the Holy Spirit is very deep and goes right to the point of what we don’t want to think is in your heart. While God is working through us to root out those thoughts, because that is where the seeds of arrogance are sown. Most times because we do not process those thoughts we never deal with them as being evil. This is because we believe we have the mind of Christ and don’t cast them down as high things that exalt themselves above the knowledge of God.

They are then able to take root in us and soon a huge tree of arrogance is built in us. The result being that we now have the fruits showing up and we wonder how this came into being. Well the Holy Spirit has just revealed how simple and easily this can happen when we don’t listen to the voice of correction when the Lord is speaking that our attitude in various situations is wrong, or why do you feel jealous, or why do you want the person correcting us to be hurt. The reasons for why we accept and take thought are the seeds that create the tree.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of Jesus always saying to the people in situations of life when good happens for others why do you take the thought saying? Each time we take that thought, saying and succumb to it, that’s what we will become.

Now I have shared much and feel constrained to let this sink into your hearts and will share the other parts as the Holy Spirit leads about superiority and pride. For the present what you need to do is accept the truth and recognise you are wrong, repent and turn. Then ask God to help you now live out this truth.

We are on our own unable to live out the truth on our own and this is why the Holy Spirit gives grace so we can live it out. As you acknowledge the truth and accept it you will find the grace to live this out and enjoy the freedom from what God hates being the obstacle in your life and hindering your forward movement.

Blessings to you today in Jesus Name and may the fragrance of His knowledge be manifested through you today in Jesus Name. Amen.

This morning the Holy Spirit reminded me as I worshiped the Lord in my communion time that He changes not and that His compassion fails not. He wants us to experience that compassion He is filled with that moved Jesus to heal, deliver and rescue all oppression of the devil we read of in the Bible. Matthew.14:14

The same compassion is available towards you today and you should expect to see it work in your life to bring you out from all entanglements and strangleholds that are holding you down and experience new freedom and liberty in Jesus name.Mark.1:41.

I want to share with you today the realness of what the bible says about who Jesus is to us and how we are through these words written able to experience everything God has said we should partake and share of His bountifulness . We were created to experience all that the Father wants us to have as His children and never wants us to run short in any way of what He has so lavishly provided for us. 2 Peter.1:2-4.

The Holy Spirit this morning reminded me of the reality of who I trust in and why I should have such confidence that He is able to do all He has said and has done before for me in the now, because He is faithful and never changes. In John.20:30 we read these words And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

When the Holy Spirit shared the reality of these words to me I knew from that time on that everything I read that Jesus did I could do and would be able to share them done in my life if only I would believe they will happen for me. John.14:12-14.

Then the Holy Spirit began teaching me how to receive what I had believed because they were different. Believing versus receiving. I was of the impression that believing was enough because the word said if you believe but the Holy Spirit kept showing me the necessity of me actually receiving what I had believed because that was how I could bring it into my life and experience it in my now of life. He taught me that to receive what I believed meant I embraced it in my hands and took possession of it myself and made it mine.

That changed my whole experience of the Lord because I now started saying I believe and I now receive all that God purposed into my life in the natural realm now and I began experiencing the manifestation of more things that the word said I could have because I started receiving them as a package that is delivered to you personally which you receive in your hands. I realized that just as a package can be sent to your address and be there but, until you receive it, you cannot enjoy or have the benefit of it.

So even when I pray I always deliberately receive the answer into my heart and life and thank the Lord that it will happen for me as He said. Luke.11:10. John.16:24.

I have found that these finer details that the Holy Spirit drops in our hearts turn very close encounters to real manifested triumphs and victories in life. Once I began receiving what I had believed God had said I started partaking of those things and was then upset that I had not done that before and what blessings I had missed because I did not know that and proceeded to ask the Holy Spirit how I could claw back what I had not received though I had believed it and true to life the Holy Spirit gave me a way to recover that as I payed attention to His guidance to recover. What a wonderful Helper the Holy Spirit is. John.14:26.

I recall the day I was in a meeting and had a vision from the Lord of people falling under the power of the Holy Spirit and their lives being changed and I was saying to my friend at the time I see all these people being touched by the Holy Spirit and I thought it was going to happen in that meeting because it was so real so I received it as from the Lord and was sort of disappointed that it did not manifest that day.

However, that day of manifestation came when I was ministering in Freetown Sierra Leone and People were falling under the power of the Holy Spirit and being touched and delivered as I stood watching in amazement seeing the Holy Spirit work in the lives of people I did not know.

Then the Holy Spirit reminded me that it was that vision I saw a year before that was now manifesting on my behalf and I was experiencing it and seemed to know what to do in the meeting because I was part of it when I saw the vision and it was meant for me.

I know the Holy Spirit wants you to receive all the Father has apportioned for you to receive and experience and you need to embrace and receive it into your life by your confession of receiving it rather than just believing it in your heart. For with the heart we believe unto righteousness but with the mouth confession is made unto deliverance/salvation. Romans.10:10.

You will experience the difference as you make the adjustment as I had to make to receive all the Father determined for me to experience.

This process has meant that everything those who walked with God received I can receive and will receive and walk in because God had it written for me to see and know so that I would experience it and whatever it takes to experience it I am willing to do in God for it to happen because the Lord wants it for me and I don’t want to be responsible for not experiencing the Promise of God for my life.

May you today as you hear and receive these words embrace the grace the Lord supplies in them and experience the truth of the miraculous Hand of God in your lives and step into the glory zone where all things are possible in God and that becomes your life story in Jesus name. Amen.
