Holy Spirit this morning I welcome you into my life and I give you full permission to govern all the affairs of my life today. I donate my body to you to express the will of Jesus through me. Romans.12:1.
I give you my heart and I give you my soul and I choose to live for You alone, so let every breath I take and every moment I am awake Holy Spirit have your way in me. Let my life only reflect Jesus today and let me be a perfect example of His character lived out for men to see. Ephesians.2:10.
I realized again afresh just how much it is necessary that we keep our hearts open to new truths the Holy Spirit has available each morning to impart to empower us for the daily tasks of each day. Isaiah.40:26-31.
The Holy Spirit pointed out to me that we need to pick up the fragments of the works He did on our behalf in the past seasons of our lives and hand them over to Him. This is because they contain the seed of His power already revealed and allow Him to recreate the full measure of glory the Lord purposed to work out in and through us in this present season.
“The Holy Spirit is a master builder and knows exactly what material is necessary to rebuild the Temple of the Lord, whose bodies we are and our lives are to the Lord.”
We are the Temple of the Holy Spirit and only He knows exactly what is necessary to rebuild the Temple to the standard required for us to function in the place we were created to walk in which will glorify Jesus.1 Corinthians.6:19.
“The clay never determines what the Potter will make of it.”Jeremiah.18:1-11.
“The clay will be crafted and made to serve the purpose of the Potter who knows exactly the purpose for each vessel He wants to create and how it should function to glorify the Potter.”
“We need to surrender more and more to the Holy Spirit and stop fighting His guidance and direction for what men say and recommend we should be.”
“ We are not clones of men’s ministries but products of the Holy Spirit.”
“ Your life was not created to give credence to the effectiveness of the discipleship of a well known and trusted ministry but to serve the purpose of God on earth.”
In Acts.13:2 we read these beautiful words As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
Paul and Barnabas were doing a great work equipping the saints in Antioch over a certain period of time but notice when that time of training was completed the Holy Spirit said separate Paul and Barnabas to the work I called them to do which was outside the confines of the Church so they had to leave church circles to see that word fulfilled regardless of their years of work in the Church.
The purpose of the Holy Spirit in the life of Paul and Barnabas was never going to be manifested with them ministering in that Church vicinity. They needed to be guided by the Holy Spirit not the Church board on where to go and reach for the Kingdom to fulfill the plan of God for their lives.
If you look further down chapter 13 of Acts you will see a new authority working in Paul and Barnabas and the miraculous demonstration through them at a much greater level that influenced regions and heads in government positions of authority as they went in the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Sergius Paulus the ProConsul was impacted by their ministry and saw the teaching of the Lord defeat sorcery in real terms and could make a choice for Jesus on real facts of a real tangible miracle that could not be denied.
Today I believe the Holy Spirit wants to free you from the blocks and barriers you have submitted to that are hindering your forward movement in the Spirit and have reduced you to mere teaching posts that are eating into the fabric of your lives as you know there is much more to your call and destiny but you feel trapped.
Well the Holy Spirit is sharing this word to you today to make available fresh grace to step out into trusting the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit back to the place where His miraculous Presence begins to propel you to impact the Nations and the people He ordained for you to reach for His glory.
Be bold to take the step forward in the Holy Spirit. He is faithful and will only guide you into truth which will free you. His only goal is your walking in the perfect will of God specifically ordained for your individual life, nothing else. John.16:12-15.
He does nothing for His benefit but only for the glory of Jesus so you can trust His judgments on your behalf. They will only position you for what Jesus purposed and planned for you to inherit for His glory.
So get up and out of bondage and walk in the liberty of the Holy Spirit which is before you today in Jesus name. Amen.
