During my communion time with the Holy Spirit, a profound instruction was given to me concerning the level of faith and expectation we as followers of Jesus should begin to walk in.

The Holy Spirit emphasised that as followers of Jesus must move beyond asking the Lord for things that are merely reasonable or conceivable from a human perspective. Instead, we are being called to graduate into a dimension where our thinking, prayer, and actions align with the mind and faith of Jesus Himself. Galatians.2:20.

This instruction reflects the truth revealed in Ephesians 3:20, which declares that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works within us. The Holy Spirit is therefore inviting us as Jesus’s followers into a lifestyle where we begin to expect and participate in miraculous works that surpass human reasoning and natural limitation.

To illustrate this principle, the Holy Spirit brought my attention to the event where Jesus fed the five thousand, recorded in John 6. In that moment, where Jesus had not prepared a plan or calculated the cost required to feed such a large crowd. Instead, Jesus relied completely on the direction of the Holy Spirit to guide His response to the situation that had arisen and arose to solve the issue of provision.

In that account, we see Jesus asking Philip where bread could be bought to feed the people, even though He already knew what He would do. This question was not asked because Jesus lacked a solution but because He was inviting Philip to step into a realm of faith that embraced the inconceivable. Jesus was presenting the disciples with an opportunity to believe beyond their natural reasoning and witness a miracle that could only occur through divine power.

The Holy Spirit explained that our prayers must now grow beyond requests limited by human imagination and perspective. Instead, as followers of Jesus we should begin asking for what appears impossible from a natural perspective for things that would astonish observers and leave them speechless when the Lord performs them. This reflects the promise spoken by Jesus in John 5:20–21, where He declared that the Father would reveal to Him greater works that would cause people to marvel.

A further key revelation given by the Holy Spirit is that we as followers of Jesus are called to live from the reality expressed in Galatians 2:20, where the apostle Paul declares that he has been crucified with Christ and no longer lives, but Christ lives in him. This means that our lives as followers of Jesus is no longer centred on our human ability but on the faith of Christ operating through us.

In the miracle of feeding the multitude in John.6 we see clearly that Jesus did not rely on present financial resources or human calculations for this provision. He did not consult Judas, who managed the money, to see whether enough funds were available to purchase this amount of bread. Instead, He aligned His mind with the direction of the Holy Spirit and trusted His Father’s power to make the impossible possible.

The miracle then occurred because Jesus maintained complete confidence in His Father’s ability and spoke only what the Father directed Him to speak. Through this cooperation with the Holy Spirit, five loaves and two fish were multiplied to feed five thousand men, along with women and children, with twelve baskets of leftovers remaining.

The Holy Spirit further revealed that Jesus had expected His disciples to understand the spiritual principle demonstrated in those miracles. In Matthew 16:9–11, Jesus reminded them of the miraculous feedings of the five thousand and the four thousand, questioning why they still worried about bread. He expected that those experiences which they were part of should have produced an unshakable faith that the Lord could provide and perform miracles without prior preparation.

However, their concern about ordinary provisions revealed that their understanding and trust were still limited. In Matthew 16:8, Jesus addressed them as people of little faith because they continued reasoning from a natural perspective despite witnessing extraordinary miracles.

The Holy Spirit explained that as followers of Jesus today we are being called into the same dimension of faith that Jesus demonstrated. So in this season, the faith of Christ is meant to be revealed again through His followers so that people may witness the power of God in demonstration and turn to Him.

To live in this reality requires our complete heart surrender to the Lord’s word to us. Because as followers of Jesus we have been crucified with Christ, so our lives are meant to express the life and faith of Jesus rather than our human weakness.

Dead men do not direct themselves but they are carried and placed wherever the one carrying them chooses. In the same way, as followers of Jesus we must allow the Holy Spirit to lead us wherever the Lord desires.

This principle is illustrated in the words Jesus spoke to Peter in John 21:18, explaining that there would come a time when Peter would be led where he would not naturally choose to go. This imagery reflects the kind of surrender required to allow the Holy Spirit to guide one’s life completely.

I will add a personal testimony to further illustrates this truth. There were two nations that I had once firmly rejected as places never to visit again in my life which were Sierra Leone and Nigeria. Yet the Holy Spirit gradually transformed that perspective of my heart, by replacing my resistance and intolerance for those nations with his love for the people of those nations.

During a season of continuous prayer prompted by the Holy Spirit, I began having God orchestrated situations occurring with individuals from those countries who needed spiritual help in places such as London, Botswana, and the United States.

Eventually the Holy Spirit began giving me visions of ministering to people in Sierra Leone and these visions later manifested when a return visit took place in 1993, where powerful demonstrations of Lord’s presence and power occurred through an avalanche of miracles, signs, and wonders.

Through these experiences, the Holy Spirit revealed to me clearly that the Lord’s purposes cannot be avoided indefinitely. His plans continually surface in our life circumstances until we as His followers surrender to them so we can walk in His plan for our lives. It is amazing to see how what once seemed undesirable or impossible can become a reality in the very place where Lord’s glory is revealed.

I conclude this word of encouragement with an appeal for you as Jesus’s followers to allow these truths to penetrate your hearts to the point where the grace necessary to love what you once rejected to the place of realigning yourselves with the Lord’s purpose.

The Holy Spirit invites you as followers of Jesus to step beyond your comfort zones, by asking the Lord for what appears inconceivable and surrendering every part of your lives that is your mind, your will, your emotions, your intellect, and your body to walk in His direction as you see the inconceivable manifest in your lives.

Remember that when a follower of Jesus yields themself fully to the Holy Spirit, He leads them into miraculous works that defy natural laws and display the power and majesty of the Lord for the glory of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus, may your heart be awakened to the limitless possibilities of the Holy Spirit operating through you. I declare that every limitation placed upon your faith by human reasoning is being broken off you now in Jesus name.

I decree that the Spirit of the Lord will elevate your thinking to align with the mind of Christ so that you begin to ask for and expect to receive what is beyond natural possibility. Let the faith of Jesus will rise within you, enabling you to trust the Lord to see miracles manifest that reveal His glory. May situations that once seemed impossible become testimonies of divine intervention as the Holy Spirit directs your steps.

I declare that as your heart surrenders fully to the Lord’s will, and you go where the Holy Spirit leads, even into places you once resisted. What once appeared undesirable to you will become a platform for the Lord’s power to be revealed and demonstrated through signs, wonders, and transformed lives by the miraculous power of the Lord.

As you yield completely to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the life of Christ will be expressed through you, and many will marvel at the works of God displayed through your obedience. May your life become a vessel through which the inconceivable purposes of the Lord are accomplished for the glory of the Father in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.
