Today I am sharing the conclusion to my communion time with the Holy Spirit which presents you the opportunity to revisit the promise of the Lord for your lives.

We therefore do not have to make every mistake he made ourselves because we have an example before us from which we can glean wisdom and understanding so that we can run our own race more effectively because we can revisit the promise the Lord has for our lives with courage and boldness because we have examples we can learn from to keep us centred on the pathway of the Lord for our lives.

This message today is an invitation for you to revisit the promise the Lord has for your life. So go ahead and receive the grace contained in these words for you and ask the Lord to show you where you have allowed relationships, attachments, or human influences to keep you bound in places from which the Lord had intended to deliver you years ago. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you anything that has become an obstruction to your progress. Then allow Him to deal with it in your heart.

This includes the plans and decisions you may have made because of people, including suggestions from men and ministers. Remember that not every plan that came through another person was necessarily the Lord’s plan for your life. The question should always be: What is the Holy Spirit saying to you now? On purpose take an honest inventory of the relationships you have established and hold dear and ask the Holy spirit for His view on them in your life.

Some relationships may be healthy and God-given, but there may also be some relationships that have become hindrances to you navigating forward into the Lord’s promise. Therefore, ask the Holy Spirit to examine these relationships and even reconsider your Church affiliations. There may be separations the Lord has been prompting you to make that you have been unwilling to contemplate. Remember that the purpose is not separation for separation’s sake.

The purpose of this separation is for you to become completely free to serve the Lord according to His will without fear in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of your life. We must be willing at all costs to follow the Lord’s direction even when it requires us to reconsider things we have become comfortable with or deeply attached to. The ultimate goal is to be in the bullseye of the will of God for your life.

This requires a willingness on my part to put everything down and follow the Lord fully. It means you being willing to surrender anything that competes with the Lord’s purpose. It also means refusing to allow self to remain in control while expecting the Lord to work around your preferences. We must deny ourselves because we cannot continue holding on to self and expect the Holy Spirit to simply endorse everything we have decided.

The Holy Spirit will not work with the version of ourselves that insists on remaining in control. He is working to transform us into who the Lord wants us to become and what He has separated us to become for His glory which is conformity to the image of Christ. The shift therefore begins with our surrender. So today, allow the grace contained in this message to empower you to make the necessary shift by returning to the promise through returning to the Lord’s pattern.

As I return to the voice of the Holy Spirit, release whatever He tells you to release and reconsider whatever He tells you to reconsider. Then separate from whatever He requires you to separate from and follow Him fully. The objective of this directive is not simply to possess a promise in theory but it is for you to become the person who is fully engaged with the Holy Spirit in the manifestation of the God-breathed promise.

May I receive abundant grace to do it God’s way, in Jesus’ name. Amen. Father, thank You for Your Word and for the grace to hear what You are saying. Holy Spirit, I surrender myself afresh to You. Please make me a true seeker of the Lord as a true faithful listener who waits to hear Your voice, understands Your instructions, and responds with prompt obedience.

Please show me anything in my life that is hindering my progress into the Lord’s promise. Reveal to me every relationship, attachment, plan, influence, commitment, or human suggestion that I have held on to when You have been asking me to release it.
Please give me courage to obey You even when obedience requires difficult separation or a change of direction. Search my heart and bring me into the bullseye of the Lord’s will for my life.

Deliver me from running cycles and circles of defeat because of my partial obedience and teach me how to walk fully in the pattern You have established for me. I choose to daily deny self and surrender my own way, so You can Make me into who the Lord wants me to be and separate me unto what He has called me to become for His glory.

Let the grace from Your Word empower me to make every necessary shift and bring me into full engagement with You so that the God-breathed promise for my life will be manifested according to Your purpose in Jesus’ name. Amen. I declare that I am a listener of the Lord and I will hear the voice of the Father, receive His Word, and respond with prompt obedience. I will not treat His instructions as insignificant, because I know that His Word carries creative power and gives life to what was dead.

I boldly follow after righteousness and seek the Lord with my whole heart as I look to Jesus, the Rock from which I have been hewn, and I remember the pit from which He brought me out because I will never forget what the Lord has done in my life. I receive the grace to learn from Abraham’s journey and I will not repeat the compromises that caused him unnecessary cycles and delays. I will recognize what the Lord is asking me to leave behind, and I will have the courage to obey it.

I declare that every relationship, attachment, plan, influence, or human instruction that is hindering the Lord’s purpose for my life will be brought into the light by the Holy Spirit. I will not hold on to what the Lord is asking me to release and I will not allow human relationships or human suggestions to become substitutes for divine direction. I surrender self by surrendering my own way. I surrender my preferences with every attachment that competes with the will of God.

I receive the grace to become who God wants me to become and to be separated unto what He has prepared for His glory. I declare that I am moving into the bullseye of the Lord’s will for my life and I will not remain in cycles and circles of defeat, desperation, or partial obedience. I am shifting into full alignment with the purpose of the Lord for me. I will fully engage with the Holy Spirit in the manifestation of the God-breathed promise for me.

I will hear, obey, separate, surrender, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and I will walk in the promise the Lord has prepared for me, and His purpose will be fulfilled in my life. By the grace of God, I declare that I will do it the Lord’s way. I will inherit the promise of the Lord and I will walk in the Lord’s prepared purpose as Jesus will be glorified through my life, in Jesus’ name. Amen!
