This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He spoke to me clearly about refusing my heart the right to be troubled, but to be prepared to give full access to the Holy Spirit to fulfill the plan, purpose and intent of the Father in our life.

The Holy Spirit this morning spoke to me saying to prepare Him the way of the Lord for our life and make a straight path for Him for this new season of life. Now I know this scripture very well because on many occasions the Holy Spirit has used it to position me into various transitions in my life from one season to another in the Lord taking me into different phases of life and many new levels of blessing and favor.

It is found in Isaiah:40.3-5 The voice of one crying in the wilderness:“Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth; 5 The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

It is a time for reflection in my life and taking stock in the wilderness (A place of quiet uninterrupted time with the Lord seeking His direction and changing my mind on things to line up with His will for the next season) and to set my heart on the new path the Lord has prepared for me so I can walk in it smoothly without difficulty and many stumbling blocks and winding paths that complicate matters.

I am already on a fast and it seems the Lord wants me to re adjust my mindset and line up with His way forward after all this time fasting.

You see, the fact I am fasting does not mean I should not be changing but in fact in the fast I should be making the necessary adjustments as my heart is more tender towards the Lord as I am focused on Him and can change path more easily.

Now from previous times in the past I know I may have some thoughts that maybe not God’s on various matters and He needs me to change those and line up with His or I just don’t quite know how He intends to work in this situation and I need to prepare myself to be flexible and pliable to fully benefit from what is brewing for me in Him.

The reason I mention thoughts is because the thoughts we take and have will determine the way we follow whether good or bad and so it is vitally important which thoughts are governing my mind because that is the path or route I will follow unless I change them to take God’s thoughts. Knowing what the word says is one thing but knowing the mind of the Holy Spirit is what brings life. I learnt that lesson years ago.

So I am now taking this time to re-examine my thoughts on faith, trust, resources, people and events and surrendering to the Holy Spirit to show me how to line up with the father and lay down my preconceived thoughts on each given matter so I end up following the will of Jesus which brings life rather than death.

Jesus had to do the same inorder to enter into the ministry work the Father had set for Him and after forty days in the wilderness He came out triumphant and returned in the power of the Holy Spirit and His name gained much notoriety because He manifested the power of God on a level that had not been seen over many years.

The purpose of sharing this with you is to remind you in your processing of the will of God for your lives and how you conduct yourself before Him will make all the difference between gaining what is scheduled for you now in the Spirit or you having to see another season roaming in the wilderness not profiting in the Lord because you did not prepare correctly at the opportune time but we’re busy doing what would surely cause you to miss out and be unprepared for the visitation of the Lord for your life.

The Lord’s way is a highway which is straight and you can move freely in it so it is important that you get on it. The other way is very winding and downward and leads to much pain, regret and loss of time, energy and no profit regardless of the energy and time put to it.

So my beloved brethren and sistren go to the wilderness on purpose and prepare don’t be forced into it by bad situations making it complicated to navigate and spend years wondering going up and down unable to land because you don’t understand the purpose of the wilderness time, as Israel did for forty years and missed out on such in relationship with the Lord.

Brace yourself and say Lord let me discover what is in my heart so I can change and line up with your thoughts. Say to the Lord I know you know my heart but I need to know it so I can be free from the deception it has caused me to walk these many years of shame and disgrace.

My season of walking in glory is here and I choose to walk it in the Way of the Holy Spirit with my evil heart out of the way and me yielding only to the will and thoughts and ways of the Lord with no diversions in Jesus Name fully expecting the profit and productivity the Holy Spirit desires for me to have and actually living it out for real in Jesus Name. Amen.

Now take that step in the Lord and watch how your life will be transformed as this time you make it through victorious and triumphant in Jesus Name by the Holy Spirit.
