This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He reminded me of more things, attributes about Himself, His nature and character to me from the Bible. It appears to me that the Holy Spirit wants us so loaded with His nature and character to such a degree that only He the Holy Spirit is visible in our lives.
We are chosen to walk in the place where we are completely following and serving the will of Jesus. Lord, I ask you today to come more and more powerfully in my life till I am totally saturated with your Presence and Power in Jesus name. Amen.
Let me share some of the nuggets of truth He revealed to me and deeper insight into truths I already knew. However today I got a greater understanding and further application of how to use these truths more effectively to bring more glory to the Lord.
In 1 Corinthians.2:9-12 we read these words But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
The Holy Spirit reminded me of what He had shared with me yesterday of seeing beyond the plain through to the mountain the things God has made available for me to experience in this present season. Well the Holy Spirit is the person through whom we can get to know these deep things of God because He alone can search all things even the deeper things of God.
This is why you always find me stressing the importance of having communion time with the Holy Spirit because without Him any knowledge we have of God will be of no use to us. This is because our natural mind will prevent us from understanding its application, because the human heart is unable to correctly discern the things of the Spirit.
Their application needs spiritual discerning to understand. This is why having truth in the flesh will cause you to fall flat on your face.John.6:63-65.
Jesus never says anything lightly so when He said it is to our advantage that He goes away because if He doesn’t the Holy Spirit cannot come to us. He knew the importance of us having the Holy Spirit to help us in our weaknesses and empower us with the grace to serve the Lord in Spirit and truth for that is what the Father seeks. John.4:23 & 24.
We cannot serve God in the flesh with truth because that is a lie. The flesh is unable to serve the Lord in truth. So it is imperative we engage with the Holy Spirit because He serves only the truth because He is the Spirit of truth.
You will have noticed that truth needs to be revealed to us, in other words God has to open our spiritual eyes to truth. This is because the heart of man loves lies or deception because it is deceitful not truthful as God pointed out to Jeremiah in Jeremiah.17:9&10.
“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? 10 I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.
Only the Holy Spirit can search the heart of man and test a man’s heart so how can you expect you can do anything without His help, guidance and insight that is worth life. This is why we need to walk closely with the Holy Spirit because He alone reveals the truth on any matter and shows us future events.
I recall the period when my brothers thought I was crazy with this God pursuit and had smart answers for me when I tried to convert them. The the Holy Spirit spoke to me to leave them alone and focus on walking with Him. He then started revealing things to me about future events which I told them that happened each time concerning themselves, and they all came to pass.
Let me tell you something, they started wanting me to speak to them about the God thing now because they saw the manifestation of the Holy Spirit each time I spoke rather than my pleas and words using scripture.
This message of the Kingdom is not in words only but the manifestation of the Holy Spirit that makes things happen for men to see and know God is real.
Verse.12 of 1 Corinthians.2 points out the crux of the matter that we have received not the spirit of this world but the Spirit that is from God so that we might know the things that have been freely given us by God. Jesus wants us to know by the Holy Spirit everything He purposed us to have and walk in.
The Lord does not want us living in suspense, not sure of our experience with God but in the knowledge of God downloaded to us by the Holy Spirit. We need to surrender more to the Holy Spirit just as Jesus did when living on the earth.
Jesus did everything under the direction of the Holy Spirit and had absolutely perfect results. We need to have the same tenacity Jesus had to seek the counsel of the Holy Spirit and walk in it rather than our natural instincts. We need to reject the spirit of this world. Then with open arms receive and embrace the Holy Spirit of truth to guide and direct our lives to triumph in the Lord.
My heart prayer for you today is that as you hear these words the Holy Spirit will open your eyes to truth and empower you with grace as He did Noah to build the Ark of the Holy Spirit for your life to be saved and rescued. Then watch in awe as you live on the other side of the floods and turmoil that have plagued your life in the Power of the Holy Spirit of truth. Always triumphing in every area of your life in the name of Jesus.
The Holy Spirit wants you to know everything you need spiritually to walk triumphantly in this season so you are no longer running hit and miss patterns of life and death. You should be experiencing daily life and that more abundantly which Jesus bought and paid for you to experience.
May this be your personal story in this season in Jesus name. Amen.
