This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He reminded me of just how connected He is to Jesus and what privileges having a relationship with Him does for our lives. The wonderful atmosphere we are able to create and bring into reality because when the Holy Spirit is present with us. He makes the miraculous available not just for ourselves but makes it available for others to be free.
In 2 Corinthians.3:16 & 17 we read these awesome words: Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
The reality in this scripture is that we as humans are veiled about so many situations and things in life. We are at a disadvantage because we lack the true understanding of how and what is necessary to correctly process the facts of life. We as humans find it difficult to come up with the right conclusions that produce the relevant solutions that will resolve the issues in life. We are most times blindsided because we are unable to see the full view/picture of what faces us.
This is why it is so very important for us to repent often and turn to the Lord because only when we turn to Him is the veil that covers our minds removed. Once the veil is removed we begin to see clearly what is evident in the Spirit to correct and make good what is lacking and deficient in any situation in life.
The covering or veil that blocks us is taken away when we turn to the Lord. This is why it is so important to develop a dedicated communion time with the Holy Spirit each day because the Lord Jesus is the Spirit. Remember John.14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
The Holy Spirit is one with Jesus and helps remove the veil on our hearts and minds to enable us embrace truth and know all things because He knows all things because He can reveal them to us.
This progression goes much further because where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. If the Holy Spirit is present in any environment there will be freedom and liberty for people.
I realized as I have walked with the Holy Spirit that when I bring Him into any environment I come into people suddenly become spiritually aware and conscious.They start to become even prophetic, conscious and aware of the true picture of situations.People seem to have insight into deep spiritual things, because their spirits seem to be energized.
I always stand in awe of what happens when the Holy Spirit begins His operation in the lives of men and women. I remember occasions when I had gone to the supermarket, and in this particular event I met a former classmate of mine. I was with someone who I was mentoring at the time and this guy I had not seen since our days in secondary school. He instantly recognised me and started speaking to the person I was mentoring about how to deal with an anointed person by not taking for granted someone full of the Holy Spirit.
When we were in school together I was not even saved so how did he know? He kept speaking words to the effect of how an anointed person should be treated to this disciple and what a privilege it was for her to have this available in her life.
I never said a word throughout the time as she kept marveling at how real the Lord was as she observed what the Holy Spirit did through that event and how the Holy Spirit took hold of the tongue of someone to confirm to her, that her choice to commit to the Lord and follow Him by hearing from my experience with the Lord to be equipped for the Lord’s service. I had taught that day about how the Holy Spirit would confirm true events to them to ensure they knew the truth in certain terms. In other words, they have proof through the Holy Spirit of the teaching they received from me.
Liberty was in the air because of the Holy Spirit who was present with me. This was commonplace with me when I went out shopping. I saw the Holy Spirit work miracles in people’s life everywhere which is exactly what happened in the life of the Apostles of Jesus and Jesus Himself. He met people where they were and changed their lives.
We forget that all the disciples who became Apostles of Jesus were called out from their circular jobs or business by Jesus to follow Him. The Kingdom is not just about Church activities but it takes over the earth realm. In the book of Acts the men in Ephesus describe the Apostle Paul as the man who was changing the world upside down. However it is really upside up, because the Kingdom is what is true life going upwards.
Let me share one more story of the power of the Holy Spirit at work in a law chambers where I met two ladies in Botswana who were struggling to stand up as I started to speak to them about the Kingdom. I told them Jesus was real and His Presence could be felt and experienced. They then told me that they could not stand because a force was blowing on them and convicting their hearts to confess their sins and accept Jesus as Lord. It was a holy time as the Holy Spirit in those few moments was already working on their hearts.
We need to be able to bring the Kingdom reality to people where they are by bringing the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to exude the liberty and freedom of Jesus to those oppressed of the devil by making people’s lives new.
The liberty the Holy Spirit brings is not an allowance for every fleshly evil action and all types of vulgarity, but to produce true freedom from the things of sin, iniquity and other forms of bondage and oppression of the devil.
I pray that as you hear and receive this word it will take root in your heart and become your pursuit. May you walk in the grace these words supply to you and become an agent of bringing the liberty of the Holy Spirit everywhere you go. May your life bring a complete change of environment that brings Jesus on the scene by spreading an expansion of His Kingdom on earth.
Always remember that it is simple obedience to what Jesus says that brings results. The Holy Spirit wants each of us to walk in the place Jesus ordained for us to walk and will help us if only we are willing to obey Him and follow His path for life. 1 Corinthians.2:10-16.
May the Holy Spirit guide you to walk everyday in the liberty He supplies and make you into a new being that truly represents Jesus in signs, wonders and various miracles that glorify Jesus and turn souls to Him to serve and follow Him with their lives in Jesus name. Amen.
