The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him has stirred me up to take more action on receiving my inheritance by requesting me to ask more from the Lord and expect to see far greater manifestations of what Jesus has promised me in this present season.

When Jesus said in John.14:12-14 these life giving words “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

Jesus was addressing His closest followers and preparing them for the work He had prepared for them to do and was giving the final orders to them on how they should function moving forward from this moment. As I have mentioned time again the Holy Spirit had pointed out to me that He does not engage in idle conversation so when He is saying something to us it is important and we need to give it our full attention as a priority by stopping what we are doing and listen carefully to what thus saith the Holy Spirit.

Now with that mindset in place let us now look at what Jesus is declaring to His followers what He wants and expects them to do in representing Him. I mentioned previously that Jesus wants us to share His platform and experience everything He did and more because that gives Him greater glory. John.15:8.

It makes Jesus happy and proud when any of His followers raises the dead back to life or heals a cripple or leper or gives sight to a blind person, or causes the deaf to hear. This is because He Jesus was manifested to destroy the works of the devil and loves to show through us His followers that His mission has never changed. He wants men free to serve Him as Adam did in the garden of Eden without trouble and any forms of disease or bondage and oppression. Just look at the life of Adam before the fall. 1 John.3:8.

Each disciple He was addressing in John.14 was aware of the works Jesus did and knew that they were remarkable things that would cause people to marvel. They needed to heed what Jesus was saying to them because they were accustomed to Him saying many impossible things which they saw come to pass in His life. No word Jesus ever spoke to them or they witnessed ever fell to the ground. They all came to pass.

This reality of emulating Jesus in deed was what they were facing now because Jesus was preparing them to start performing the same works He did and greater. They were about to reap the benefits of giving up everything for His sake and He wanted them to know without a shadow of doubt what was going to begin to happen in their lives.

I recall when I accepted the call to follow Jesus as I was walking up Regent Street in London the Holy Spirit drew my attention to a suitcase shop and so I entered it and He said to me to buy a suiter and suitcase which I would use to travel going to share His word to Nations.

I had at that point not arranged any trips but was following the Holy Spirit daily as He guided me on what I needed to do. Well within a month of that time I started traveling to go share the truths the Lord had given me over that year and those two items I had bought were my traveling companions for the trip the following year and for years to come.

I was so grateful I obeyed the Lord because the missions happened so suddenly I would not have had the time to go purchase those items and would have needed to spend much more money because I would have needed to buy them on the spur of the moment.

The Holy Spirit in advance had shown me where to buy them and in listening and obeying His voice I was in position for what was coming. Always obey what the Holy Spirit instructs you to do even if you don’t understand or comprehend it and think it is not feasible. John.2:5.

This is exactly what Jesus was preparing His disciples for in John.14 to do the works He had done and greater. All they needed to do was take those words, meditate on them , confess them and promptly obey them and prepare their hearts for the manifestation of those works in their lives in the upcoming ministry with signs and wonders following. Jesus did not invite them to doubt His words but to believe them with all their hearts so they could walk in them in the now of life.

I have found that season after season the Holy Spirit has prepared me with words of promise as Jesus gave in John.14 and as I have obeyed them by taking time in the wilderness preparing my heart by prayer and fasting to make a clear path for the word of the Lord to come to pass. Then I watched the Lord bring those words to pass with me walking in the miraculous just as the Holy Spirit had pointed out and revealed through visions and prophetic words happen exactly as the Lord said. Acts.27:25.

I recall when in the USA on my first mission there the Holy Spirit spoke to me about Him the Lord coming to make His home with and in me.

In John.14:15-18 we read these words “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

As I shared those words with that Church that day the Holy Spirit said to me I have made home with you so you will now experience everything I have from heaven which Jesus has granted you on the earth and there will be a manifestation of the reality of the Holy Spirit in my life which went on to happen and still does today as the Holy Spirit shows up and does what only He can do through me.

It is a wonderful and glorious happening when the Holy Spirit fulfills a vision or word He spoke to you and you actually are part of the making of a miracle which changes the lives of people.

I pray today that as you hear these words you will be stirred to action and recollect all the other words the Holy Spirit spoke to you in past times that you ignored and find the grace to take the necessary action and time of seeking diligently the face of the Lord which positions you on the side of triumph in Jesus and become the fruit bearer Jesus created you to be for the glory of His name.

May all the shame and disgrace that has seemed to characterize your life be swallowed up and you become a fervent worker and co-heir of the works of Jesus for men to see and glorify Jesus’s name on earth. May there be an establishment of His Kingdom of which there is no end to its expansion on earth be revealed through your life. Father grant this I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
