The Holy Spirit in my communion time this morning reminded me of this conversation with Him about the questions we have in our hearts. He spoke of what we need to do to resolve these niggling issues that potentially become strongholds against us if we do not respond to them correctly if we allow them to brew in our hearts, as many of you are experiencing now. 2 Corinthians.10:3-6.

So today the questions you have for the Lord that you ask anyway in your subconscious the Lord wants you to voice them to Him in order that you remove any uncertainty from your trust and rest your hope fully on what the Lord has said rather than the unanswered questions of the heart. 1 Peter.1:13-16.

When a question remains unanswered in your heart it is the breeding ground for double mindedness which your enemy loves, and you know that being double minded means you will not receive anything from the Lord. James.1:6-8 

 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Your confidence in God and His ability to do for you is vital in your trust walk and in effect guarantees you will not let go even under the severest pressure that comes to steal the word from you. Mark.9:23.

It is far more important to resolve your query with the Lord than leave it unattended in your heart. Remember the heart is deceitful above all things and loves fantasy stories which the enemy is always willing to supply on demand as long as that will cause you to leave the path of the Lord.Jeremiah.17:9 & 10.

Let the Holy Spirit confirm in your heart whatever questions you have then correct anything amiss and keep you in line with the promise you are headed towards. This keeps you focused on the important things you must give attention to do, rather than just drifting along without purpose.

I have found that letting the Holy Spirit know your weakness and concern means He can supply you with more grace to overcome whatever shows up in opposition against the plan of God. Romans.8:26 & 27.

On several occasions I have told the Holy Spirit that I am struggling to believe that things will turn from impossible to possible when the pressure has been very severe. I have then asked Him to help my unbelief so that at this last moment I do not compromise my result by saying or doing something stupid or rash.

On each of these occasions He has helped me by giving me more tenacity, more strength to pray and cover more ground, sometimes wisdom to take an action that stuns the enemy and many times a greater peace that comes which defies every obstacle and laughs at the face of the challenge. Luke.22:44.

There is no specific way I can say He always uses, but He gives an answer that brings the solution. Therefore it is best to always ask Him for help and not presume you know His heart.

Jesus described the Holy Spirit in John.14:16-18 as a Helper and that is His nature to offer help and the necessary counsel out of every situation. The Holy Spirit is Omnipotent hence he knows everything including what your enemy is doing and planning against you.

He possesses ways to reduce enemy plans to nothing and give you insight to stay away from the area of attack. He even enables you to scale mountains and go through the attack coming out unharmed as He did with Shadrack, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace that was heated seven times hotter because they refused to bow.

He also has the power to change the nature of animals as He did for Elijah causing ravens to bring him burgers each day in a season of famine.  Also with Daniel when lions became his friends and provided a comforting pillow for his head while in their den because He refused to bow. Daniel.6:16-24.

In real terms the Holy Spirit has every possible answer you could ever need in any and every situation to bring you out, but you must request it of Him. Never fear to ask the Holy Spirit what to do and how to do it and wait for His answer. Isaiah.40:27-31.

Make it a custom to never prejudge what you think the Holy Spirit will say but wait for what He says, as most times it will be often far outside what you thought, so do not presume on Him as He will not honor your presumption. I Corinthians.2:6-12.

So today ask the Holy Spirit any questions you have and settle your heart with the Lord to empower you to have the necessary confidence and assurance you need.

Always remember faith is not presumption, it is knowing Jesus authored what you are expecting and will fulfill it by bringing it to pass in real life. You also have the Holy Spirit with you to help you inherit everything Jesus wants you to experience and do on earth for His name sake that brings Him glory. 

You can count on the Lord’s faithfulness that your life will dramatically change as you imbibe this reality and allow this grace to work in your life Jesus’ name. Amen.
