This morning the Holy Spirit spoke a word through me from Colossians.3 that came through clearly in my view and captivated my whole being. The Holy Spirit has many ways in which He conveys messages to us to get our attention on what really matters that ensure that we are keeping up with Him and not lagging back.
I have found by experience that the Holy Spirit is such a Perfect Mentor who knows exactly what you need when you need it and has the power available to make what is needed available for you in an instant to manifest it for your benefit.
Thank you Jesus for the indescribable gift of the Holy Spirit to be the support, help and aid we need to succeed in life and be productive for the glory of Jesus. John.16:13.
Let us look at the scripture the Holy spirit quickened to me Colossians.3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
You say well I know Christ dwells or lives in me so what is new and special about that? I will explain what the Holy Spirit wanted to further enlarge the reality of truth in me about the word of the Lord. I saw clearly that we first of all are the ones who must give permission for the word of Christ to dwell in us.
How we choose to see or interpret the word of the Lord and apply it to our lives will determine how it will impact us. Luke.4:24. You could say it this way: let the word of Christ dwell poorly in you in foolishness, complaining, and negative words.
Always causing you harm and affecting others negatively by bringing disrepute to Jesus’ name and the truth is we see so much of that in the lives of believers.
It is our choice to let the word of Christ dwell richly in us by our diligence in confessing that word continually and meditating on it over and over again till it actually starts dwelling, living, and breathing in and through us.
The Holy Spirit’s reminder is to awaken us back to increasing our confession and meditation which gives Him more room and scope in us to perform the word of Christ in our lives Romans.10:10.
We need to on purpose deny ourselves daily, not just weekly or monthly and take up our cross and follow Jesus. We know for real that we cannot follow Jesus by leading Him and directing the path forward.
“How we respond to the word of Christ in us today will determine how much it will live, work and abide in us for this today.”
“We need to allow the word to richly impact our lives. We need to receive it in all its riches, appreciating that it is more valuable than our daily food and clothing needs. We must pursue it more faithfully than resources for ourselves.”
Remember that it is Jesus who said we should take heed of how we hear the word, because the measure we use will be measured back to you, meaning that the value we place on it will determine how much it will benefit us. If we don’t allow it to influence your decisions daily it will not change things for us.
“We are the determiners of how much the word of Christ will benefit us.”
So if you are unhappy with your results then change the way you see and value the Word of Christ in your individual life and do what is necessary by your confession and meditation to increase its potency in you.
Let these words minister grace to you for today’s challenges and invoke a fiery passion and zeal in you to see the word of Christ dwell richly in your life so there will be a greater manifestation of the riches of Christ in miraculous signs and wonders following your life in Jesus name. Amen.
I will continue with part: 2 of this revelation tomorrow.
