This message unfolds how the Holy Spirit reveals the beauty, strength, and transforming power of the Character and Heart of God, and how we as Jesus’s followers are invited not only to admire His Divine Nature and position in heaven, but how to partake of it and manifest it daily through our intimate communion with the Holy Spirit.

This conversation begins with the Holy Spirit speaking through Proverbs.18:10 which reads these words: “The character of God is a tower of strength, for the lovers of God delight to run into His heart and be exalted on high.”

The Holy Spirit emphasised that the disciples true place of safety, strength, stability, and exaltation are not found in human ability, personal character, or natural wisdom, but in the immutable and faithful character of Lord Himself. I attest to the fact of this word how throughout difficult seasons in my life, when I drew upon the Lord’s steadfast heart and nature how it consistently provided strength and deliverance in impossible situations.

However, the Holy Spirit then unveiled a deeper dimension of this truth by saying that as followers of Jesus we are not merely to admire the Character of the Lord from a distance, but to continually run into His heart and live from that place of authority daily.

The Holy Spirit highlighted the fact that only genuine lovers of Jesus delight in this pursuit. We do not seek Him casually or sluggishly, but we pursue Him intentionally, persistently, and wholeheartedly, giving Him undivided attention and priority above all distractions.

An example of Jesus during His ministry on earth was presented through Luke.5:16, where Jesus regularly withdrew from ministry into deserted places to pray. The Holy Spirit pointed out that Jesus deliberately separated Himself from distractions in order to enter deeply into communion with the Father’s heart, which became His tower of strength and place of safety.

From that place of intimacy, Jesus walked in continual exaltation and divine authority, manifesting signs, wonders, miracles, and the power of God throughout His daily life. This is truth further connects to the revelation in 2 Corinthians.4:7, which reveals that we as followers of Jesus carry the same heavenly treasure in earthly vessels so that the excellence of the power may be of God and not ourselves.

The Holy Spirit then revealed a profound truth by stating that as we Jesus’s followers seek the Lord with undivided devotion and surrender themselves fully to Him, it will no longer be our weak, flawed human character that is seen, but the Character and Heart of Lord Himself being expressed through our lives. We as followers of Jesus become a living vessel through which the Lord manifests His own nature, power, compassion, and glory.

This aligns with Jesus’ words in Mark.16:17 & 18, where signs and wonders follow those who truly believe. This word from the Holy Spirit also stresses that our pursuit of Jesus requires continual self-denial and consecration. Luke.9:23 was referenced, where Jesus taught that anyone who desires to follow Him must deny themselves daily, take up their cross, and follow Him.

The Holy Spirit explained that this is a daily process because the human heart can easily become distracted by the recognition, honour, influence, and fame that accompany spiritual usefulness and productivity. Pride then becomes the snare that pulls us away from pure dependence on the Lord. This warning is reinforced through 1 Samuel.15:17-19, where Saul’s downfall came through pride and disobedience after having being exalted.

The Holy Spirit contrasted operating merely in spiritual gifts with becoming a vessel through which the fullness of the Gift Giver Jesus Himself operates freely. While the gifts of the Holy Spirit are wonderful, there is something far greater which is allowing the unrestricted fullness of the Lord’s own nature and power to work through our surrendered life. John.3:34 was given me as further reference to show that Jesus operated without limitation because the Holy Spirit was given to Him without measure.

The conversation then turned to the Apostle Paul’s prayer in Ephesians.3:19 & 20, where we as Jesus’s followers are called to be “filled with all the fullness of God,” so that the Lord may do “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to His power at work in us.” The Holy Spirit reveals that when we are filled with the Lord’s fullness, it is no longer merely human effort at work, but the Lord Himself thinking, acting, speaking, loving, and moving through tus according to His unlimited ability.

The central exhortation of this message is therefore a call to make pursuing the Character and Heart of the Lord our daily priority. The Lord desires His Kingdom to be fully manifested through yielded vessels so that His glory may cover the earth “as the waters cover the sea.” As followers of Jesus we are urged to discipline themselves spiritually, by remaining vigilant, and pursuing intimacy with the Lord diligently so we may live continually in His strength, rest, and divine nature.

Finally, the Holy Spirit encourages us as Jesus’s followers to gird ourselves spiritually, as instructed in 1 Peter.1:13, by preparing tour minds and hearts to embark on a wholehearted pursuit of the Lord because The Character and Heart of Lord are presented to us as the followers strong tower, place of refuge, source of strength, and pathway into victorious, triumphant living.

In the name of Jesus I declare that the Character and Heart of the Lord become your strong tower and place of continual refuge in Jesus Name. As you run after the Lord with undivided devotion, may His Divine Nature overshadow every weakness, limitation, and human insufficiency in your life. May the fullness of Christ rise within you so that His love, power, wisdom, compassion, holiness, and glory are manifested through you daily in Jesus name.

I declare that every distraction, prideful ambition, and fleshly pursuit fall away from you as you take up your cross and follow Jesus wholeheartedly daily. May you be filled with all the fullness of God according to Ephesians.3:19 & 20, and may the power of the Holy Spirit work through you beyond all you could ask or think. Let signs, wonders, miracles, wisdom, and Kingdom authority flow naturally from your life as the Heart of the Lord is revealed through you.

I decree that you walk continually in the tower of His strength, being exalted by His hand, preserved by His faithfulness, and loaded daily with the benefits of the Most High in Jesus Name. Amen.
