I present to you today the first part of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on girding up our hearts and minds with the truth. This revelation is so vital for our continued progress and advancement in the Kingdom because without it we will be unable to have victory over our enemy who is always going about seeking to devour us and make a mockery of our faith.

The Holy Spirit reminded me this morning in my communion time with Him of His role and responsibility towards us as pointed out by Jesus in John.14:25 & 26 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

The importance of the role of the Holy Spirit in bringing back to our remembrance the things Jesus spoke to us before. This is because when we hear the truth it sparks light and life to our hearts, but when attacks and tribulation arise because of that word we gradually lose sight of the words spoken. We then start drifting away from truth and it is the reminders that the Holy Spirit gives us that ignites a new passion with a burning desire to see those words fulfilled in our lives. Mark.4:16-19.

So today let these words of reminder stir you back up to take spiritual action so you can reap the benefits God intended for you when He first spoke those words concerning your life. Jesus never wants you to come short of the manifestation of any word He has spoken over your life. So Jesus will continually send you reminders through the Holy Spirit until you experience that truth manifested in your life experience. So let these words minister afresh to you the wonders of the Lord towards you and captivate your hearts to take the necessary action for your triumph in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him shared with me so many different truths and reminders of our position in Him and the responsibilities we have to steward what He reveals to us. He spoke to me about how we must prioritize our time gainfully by revealing the things we need to stop wasting our time doing. He spoke of things that are not profitable to our life and wellbeing. He spoke of how to use our time more profitably to gain maximum results for the Kingdom.

Although we follow His daily leadings we are not to get comfortable in what is happening through our lives but we must press in for more of what God has in store for us by keeping that momentum running strong rather than rest on our laurels because God has done some mighty thing on our behalf.

We have been given the responsibility to use the time the Lord gives us each day to establish and multiply out the Kingdom of Jesus through our lives by bringing Him much fruit which remains. Ephesians.5:15 & 16.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of when Jesus spoke to His disciples in Luke.12:35-38 these words: “Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; 36 and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them. 38 And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

You can clearly see from the way Jesus spoke here that though He had encouraged them about what God had provided for them and made available for them He expected them to respond faithfully with the corresponding action of prompt obedience. Jesus made it clear that He would test their faithfulness in being alert and ready to do what the Master needed at any given point in time.

This state of alertness and readiness is a priority with the Lord in our relationship with Him and it will be tested to see where we are at given points in time. The Lord made it clear that we won’t know when He will show up. So it is incumbent on us to always be ready and alert to receive Him.

Let us look at the commands Jesus gives here: let your waists be girded with truth which the Apostle Paul and Peter go on to emphasize in their letters to those who will follow the Lord as the correct stance to defeat the enemy.

In Ephesians.6:14 when putting on the full armor of God Paul starts by saying gird up your loins with truth; this term gird means to ready oneself for action, encircling yourself with truth, well that certainly requires doing something as in order to defeat your enemy who is constantly throwing darts of lies and deception around. You must of necessity confess the truth and establish it in your heart with as much or more intensity if you are to defeat those lies from controlling your actions.
