The Holy Spirit in my communion time with Him today reminded me of the importance of us recognizing cycles or patterns in our life experience that seem to happen consistently when we reach a particular point in our journey of faith.

This is clearly evident as we are trusting the Lord to bring us through to a miraculous conclusion. He spoke of how to develop a resistance to the same old responses we are accustomed to employing which cost us our position of triumph.Ephesians.6:12-14.

The Holy Spirit spoke of our need to mature in our responses and rise above these tactics. Then with this new stance give the enemy a blow which cannot be stopped as we march in triumphantly regardless of the stiff opposition.

So I am sharing these words from the Holy Spirit to impart grace to you at this time to go beyond the plain and into the promised inheritance the Lord has available to you today. The Holy Spirit wants you to come out triumphant with shouts of joy and the promise in your hands. So please stop letting this trap rob you of any future blessing ever again in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit my best friend, Companion and Helper again shared with me some very good news. He said fear and intimidation are the trap that holds us back. So why do we continue to allow it to make us take contrary action?

I repented instantly and made quick adjustments because I know when the Holy Spirit speaks and reveals my heart stance in a situation it is true no matter what I think at the time. If something is a trap why do we constantly fall for it and allow it to determine the course we take.

Fear always seems very real and formidable from the natural perspective because you can see its natural ability and feel it breathing down your life looking for your cooperation and support. However the Holy Spirit as the ever Present Comforter said if you rebuke it, it will evaporate quickly because its purpose is to scare and intimidate you to make an impulsive decision to react prematurely on the basis that things will not change.

The Holy Spirit then went on to remind me of the scripture in 2 Corinthians:4.18 which reads: while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Why the Holy Spirit said, Do we keep looking at what is seen?

Having seen the truth in this scripture that we are not to base anything in life on what our eyes have seen, but on what God has revealed because that is the eternal view point and eternal truth will always change natural facts.

The fact is that each day we are bombarded with new situations that emerge to arouse fear so we need to be vigilant. 1 Peter.5:8 & 9. He pointed out that we should always base things from the eternal perspective not the natural because natural things change quickly because they are temporary and subject to change.

In other words we are never to build on what is unreliable and is subject to failure but on what God says because that is eternal. John.6:63.Regardless of how real fear and intimidation appear, don’t respond to them as He pointed out that’s the heart posture the Apostle Paul arrived at in his walk with the Lord when he said ‘none of these things move me’. I refuse to respond to natural events no matter how they appear and the threat they pose to be to my existence. I will not decide on their basis. Acts.20:24.

That is how the Apostle Paul could be relaxed in a storm where in 14 days of seeing no sun or moon but only darkness and men saying all hope of being saved is lost. So stop trying to give us hope. It’s over! However the Apostle Paul arose in those contrary conditions and said everything will be alright because an angel of the Lord came to me and spoke to me saying that all of us will be saved.

We will end up safely on an Island and only the ship will be lost but no life will be lost. At that very moment the Apostle Paul encouraged us to eat because that food will be needed for us to swim to shore. Then in the midst of that storm and chaos Paul went on to break bread and eat. They all followed suit because of His confidence that imparted grace and it happened just as Paul had said.

The Holy Spirit wanted me to understand and see clearly that the fear in that incident was real and that the storm was true and they truly experienced the ship being tossed up and down on those seas with no light for 14 days. The Holy Spirit said that most times when we read these truths we sometimes don’t look at the severity of that situation and appreciate what it really was like for those in that ship.

We do not fully grasp the level of fear that was aroused in them that moved them to declare we will not come out of this alive as there seems to be no end to this relentless pounding of wind and waves battering us and driving this ship.Acts.27.

The truth is that God had already provided a way out and Paul was already talking with the Lord in that situation and receiving an answer in all that turmoil and trauma that came to pass and changed that pounding and brought back calm and stillness.

Well if that was the case then so today the Holy Spirit who was with Paul then and gave him the way out is here with you today and will help you navigate out of any situation of fear and intimidation that threatens to take you out. Then He will bring you safely to your destined end in God of triumph and victory loaded with the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit.

So today it’s time to change your minds, then believe and receive God’s word of grace to you. Boldly throw out fear and intimidation and look to the eternal word of the Lord to be your sight and vision going forward for it alone is eternal. It will serve to bring you to a place of glory and a miraculous story of triumph in Jesus’ name that will bring an expansion to Jesus’ Kingdom here on earth to glorify His name. Amen.
