The Holy Spirit wants me to share further on our need to trust more what He says for our lives more than the things Men’s experts say. In my communion time with the Holy Spirit I am only able to share part of the whole picture of what He shares with me that is pertinent to what you would need to strengthen and equip you each day. This is to give you the impetus to take action to start moving in the things of the Kingdom of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit wants you to start bearing the fruit that Jesus pointed out we should have. In John.15:8 we are told these words by Jesus: By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. From these words we understand that Jesus expects that a disciple of His should be a fruit bearer.

“It is not enough to be only a word hearer of Jesus because following Jesus is worthy of bearing fruit and we have that responsibility to bring forth fruit worthy of the Lord.”

The father is glorified when we bear much fruit. The things of the Kingdom and service to Jesus are not abstract; they are real and are measured by bearing fruit. Jesus told every disciple that He chose to follow Him that He will make them fishers of men.

As a follower of Jesus you will have noticed that everything Jesus asks us to do has a reward attached to it. He did not say follow Me and you will become a better person, more upright and that will be sufficient. Jesus’s intention is that we will be able to catch men for the Kingdom.

Your nature and character when following Jesus will change dramatically because you will become a worker of righteousness because He is righteous and hates lawlessness. Hebrews.1:9.However the end result is that you will bring fruit into the Kingdom. Jesus works on our character and nature so that our spirits are connected to Him and not human nature or that of the devil.

The Holy Spirit sets us apart for service to Jesus and this involves separation from many things and people. 1 Peter.1:2.The Holy Spirit first works at separating us from the things that hold us bound and captive which includes family. The ways in which we were trained to think and do things which will always be an obstacle to obeying the Lord. 1 Peter.1:18. This is because the ways of the Lord are completely different from our ways. We must forsake our old ways of thinking in order to take hold of God’s way of thinking and doing things in order to become a fruit bearer. Isaiah.55:7-9.

I remember when I got saved in 1989 and had a burning passion for spending time in the bible. I loved studying the word to get to know and understand what God was requiring of me as a person to serve Him. As I grew in my knowledge of the word people constantly told me: Do you know that you are a teacher of the scripture? Christians always sought to give me titles.

However the Holy Spirit comforted me by telling me that I was only a follower of Jesus which meant I would have in my life all that was needed to follow Him fully. This was opposed to what Christians said I was and what in their opinion I could have which would limit my service to Jesus and make me a man pleaser.

“We are called to follow Jesus first and foremost. This process of following Him never comes to an end.”

“We never reach a point where we become Master and take over Jesus by becoming leader. That is a dangerous place to be when we begin to lead ourselves and cut out the voice of the Holy Spirit.”

This scripture in 1Peter.1:2 which reads: elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied. The pursuit of sanctification of the Spirit became my goal as the Holy Spirit pointed out to me that regardless of my election by foreknowledge of God if the sanctification of the Holy Spirit did not happen in me I would be disqualified and have nothing but words that I am elected, but no fruit of that election in my life.

“I realized that the process of sanctification which simply means being separated from and set apart to Holiness in God did not happen on a continuous basis I would miss out.”

This process of sanctification went on to separate me from my family and everything I held dear which was of value in worldly terms. The Holy Spirit worked with me to set me apart to a new way of thinking, processing and doing things according to God’s pattern. Believe me they are completely different. However God’s ways which are truth always bring freedom which remains and much fruit in life as a reward.

In following the Lord everything I needed for life and Godliness was supplied to me and not just gifts of the Spirit which are only necessary for individual situations like healing. The greatest reward was to have the Holy Spirit’s friendship and union, which means I could have His ability available every time no matter what is required because He is the Owner of everything God has and has the mandate to manifest them at any time to glorify Jesus.

“We are trees of righteousness so we must bear fruits of righteousness, not gifts of power that produce lawlessness.” We are the planting of the Lord so He is glorified. Isaiah.61:3b.

“Well that is the job of the Holy Spirit to glorify Jesus alone and bring Him the fruit worthy of His name through our lives being surrendered to Him.”John.16:14.

“A final warning: don’t let people label you no matter what God does through your life because that label will become your limitation and point of regression.”

When I first visited America to minister I was called a healing Evangelist because healings happened in my meetings, then the Holy Spirit started prophesying through me and they called me Prophet, the Holy Spirit started working deliverance through me and they called me a deliverance minister.

When the Holy Spirit started working miracles through me they called me a miracle worker. I thank God that the Holy Spirit said to me don’t take anything they say you are but just follow Me by letting Me have My way in your life and whatever is necessary for peoples lives I will provide while you will continue to grow in the Lord through the power of His might.

I pray today that as you have heard these words the grace supplied through them will enable you to rise above the situations you are finding it difficult to separate from by making the necessary separation.

May you be free to walk with the Holy Spirit so you will experience such freedom that you will ask yourself why I did not do this earlier because I could have saved myself so much pain and sorrow staying with what held me captive.

Let your life be set apart to what the Holy Spirit wants for you which is a fruitful life which is what following His voice will bring you to. “

The Holy Spirit will truly make you fruitful for Jesus because that is His responsibility and He never fails in His faithfulness to do His work.” Rise up today and separate from what is killing you and be set apart to what will lift and elevate you in Jesus name. Amen.
