In my communion time this morning with the Holy Spirit He spoke to me about the volume of the word that has been deposited within us determines the level of glory that we can expect to see exhibited in our daily lives. Now you know from my posts that whenever the Holy Spirit emphasizes a word to me it is clear that my previous understanding of that word is limited and I am being invited to partake of a fresh insight into how that word can change my life’s consequences and position me for much greater glory.

So I checked the word volume in the dictionary to see what it said. I found that the word speaks of :a considerable quantity b: the amount of a substance occupying a particular volume. : the amount of space occupied. I then brought this knowledge to the table and allowed the Holy Spirit to relate it to my personal life and wellbeing.

So here we go on what the Holy Spirit then revealed to me looking first at the amount of space occupied. He asked me how much of my life has been swallowed up by the life of Christ? Have all the things of the flesh been dissolved to such a degree that only Christ’s life is visible because it has swallowed up all death in my life?

Now I realized years ago that when the Holy Spirit asks a question it is not because He does not know the answer but it is an opportunity for us to learn from Him where we really are in terms of our relationship with the Lord. Well I know that I give time to studying the word and meditating it daily, endeavouring to keep it in my heart and mouth.

Now it is one thing to study the word and meditate on it but the Holy Spirit was speaking about how much of the word that is the word of the Spirit has had the opportunity to swallow up every natural understanding and is residing within me. How much of the Holy Spirit and His vastness has full occupation in the space of my heart.

Now let me give some scriptural context here in John.3:34 we read these words spoken by John the Baptist who spent a lifetime in the wilderness preparing his heart to speak for the Lord : For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. 35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. 

In this scripture John is pointing out how much volume of the word occupies the full space of Jesus’s heart because that word is manifested with a limitless measure of the Holy Spirit. In other words every word of God in Jesus’s Heart is fully backed by the Holy Spirit hence Jesus said in John.6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 

Now having given the biblical context which the Holy Spirit will always employ because He is the Spirit of Truth. John.16:13. We can move on and partake of this heavenly revelation the Holy Spirit is opening my eyes to its reality which brings life. Let me point out clearly that the Holy Spirit was not saying that my study time and meditation of the word was fruitless and worth nothing. He is pointing to the greater understanding of how Jesus walked in the Spirit that enabled Him to manifest the greater glory of the Lord on the earth.

Now there are various levels of word that fill the space in our hearts depending on the level of the Holy Spirit’s influence we allow when we hear and receive the word He shares. Mark.4:24 & 25. The point He was making to me was how to increase the level of the Spirit on the word in my heart and how to allow every fleshly thought remaining to be dissolved and swallowed up by His resurrection life so only the Holy Spirit is visible when my mouth speaks. Acts.7:55 & 56. 

Now this process started many years ago when I was anointed and would continually pray asking the Lord to kill me and make me more like Jesus rather than ask for material things. I would always ask for more of the Holy Spirit and to be filled with all of His fullness. It always struck a holy chord in my heart whenever I read they were filled or full of the Holy Spirit. There are degrees of glory which we are yet to partake of which Jesus has reserved for us to experience here on earth.

So as I share these wonderful truths with you that surround my communion times with the Holy Spirit it is to awaken you to the non ending bounty of glory the Lord has prepared for us to live out daily on earth to glorify His wonderful name. Remember anyone can say Jesus’s name but not all can manifest the power of His name. When Peter said such as I have I give you in the name of Jesus rise up and walk in Acts.3:6 & 7. Peter made it clear such as I have. Peter had no doubts what he possessed in the Holy Spirit and knew that word would come to pass.

This is the place the Holy Spirit is preparing our hearts to walk in so we can truly exhibit who Jesus really is through signs, wonders and notable miracles to glorify His name.

I will conclude this post now because there’s so much more in what the Holy Spirit spoke but we must leave that till another time. However allow the words you have heard today spark a new flame within you for a greater measure of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit to become a reality in your lives.

Then as Noah in Genesis.6:8 found grace to build the Ark so you will find grace to build the place for the Holy Spirit to have complete control over your heart so that the full expression of Jesus will be manifested through your life.
