The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time reminded me of Hebrews.12:1 & 2 which reads these words: Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

We most times forget the level of support and heavenly aid that is available to us. The Holy Spirit went on to emphasize the reality of what surrounds our lives which is a cloud of witnesses who have stories of triumph which God did for their lives that rain down miraculous answers for us concerning any situation that can possibly rise up against us which threaten to rob us of our peace and the divine plan of God for our lives.

However we must recognise that there is always a God given solution for every problem which the Lord has previously covered before that will see us through all impending attacks. This reality is so vital the Holy Spirit pointed out which we need to glean from and hold onto to see us through every possible attack or opposition to the knowledge of God concerning our lives fulfilling the plan of the Lord for us.

So I invite you to investigate with me the reality of this promise with the Holy Spirit to ensure we are receiving the full measure of blessings ordained by the Lord for our glory. Firstly we must realize that the great cloud of witnesses are proof holders/producers and sharers/partakers in what they have experienced of the power of the Lord.

When they were faced with obstacles that almost took them out, but where the Holy Spirit stepped in and brought them out by a miraculous intervention which startled the enemy that had come against them and brought them extensive rewards. Daniel.2:46-49.

They have a story of glory which is evidence which can be used by us in court to decide the outcome of any similar case presented against us. This is because it has become the legal binding precedent to guide judgment for all other cases covering that area in life.

Let this reality saturate your being and take over your thoughts now so you can be in position to lay hold of and receive all the Father has determined for you to have in this season. We are told in scripture that satan is the accuser of the brethren Revelation.12:10 and does this accusation against us day and night.

No wonder Peter warned us in 1 Peter.5:8-11 on how to defeat the onslaught of the devil.

In Revelation.12:11 we are told that we must overcome satan with the blood of Jesus and the word of our testimony and not to allow his continuous accusations to determine the course of our lives.

When it comes to accusations we need to defend ourselves with the blood of Jesus otherwise if they are brought up in Kangaroo courts in the earth realm we can find ourselves being convicted. When we do not oppose those accusations vehemently and give a defence against those charges using the blood of Jesus as our plea.

Now you can see why the cloud of witnesses is such a blessing and of vital importance for us because we have family who won in similar situations as witnesses to the fact that we also will come out triumphant. This is a fact because the same Lord who brought them out triumphantly is here now to do the same for us as they carry the proof of this reality which becomes our defence.

This is because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.Hebrews.13:8.Thank God Jesus never changes.

These immutable facts demonstrate why the woman with the issue of blood in Mark.5:25-34 for twelve years could believe that if she touched the Hem of Jesus’ garment she would be healed. Of Course she was healed instantly because she had heard how Jesus had healed all sick people that came to Him.

She had the confidence from the testimonies of what He had already done and knew her situation would be no different if she just touched His garment.

This reality worked perfectly for her so that as she touched Jesus virtue flowed out of Him and she was instantly healed. Amazingly Jesus knew that power had gone from Him which healed someone and wanted to know her process so Jesus could encourage us through her testimony that we could count on the cloud of witnesses testimony to receive what God had already done before on our behalf to make us whole from any obstacle or oppression of the devil.

Let us go deeper with the Holy Spirit and tap into this grace which will bring us remarkable testimonies of triumph. After recognising the reality of the Cloud of witnesses we then need to lay aside or put away from our thoughts, minds, emotions and intellects every weight of bondage or oppression and the temptation it affords us to sin.

These desires to sin that so easily besets us because they offer temporary reprieve and an easy way out where we just need to succumb and yield to the desire and have its benefits.

We are offered a way out through the cloud of witnesses who went past the sin desires and gained the promise. Using the ability of grace to put aside the weight of sin and look to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith or trust who proved faithful even in death.

We are therefore able to experience the same triumph through His grace working on our behalf through His endurance working for us to bring us to the finish line resulting in gaining the inheritance.

This is such an honour and privilege to share in the grace Jesus provided for us to be strong enough to overcome every obstacle death throws at us and come out with life and that in its fullest measure with a story of glory. John.10:10.

My prayer for you today is that as you receive these words you will experience the realization of them manifesting in your life today. As you boldly walk in the manifestation of Jesus’ power doing for you exceedingly and abundantly above all you could ask or think according to His power at work in you.

You will then experience the Holy Spirit creating a story of glory in your lives that will speak loud and clear of the Kingdom of Jesus still faithfully working on the Earth for men to see and trust in Him to serve His Lordship on this earth in Jesus name. Amen.

Have a Fruitful and productive day in Jesus name. Amen.
