Today lets pick up the continuation of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on entering His rest and riding with Him on the heights of the earth.

This same principle of entering the rest of the Lord appears in Hebrews 4:9–11 which reads these words: “There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.” Entering the Lord’s rest means us ceasing from our own works in the same way the Lord ceased from His creation work.

This is not referring to passive laziness; paradoxically, because Scripture tells us to be diligent to enter that rest. It is a deliberate spiritual choice to stop attempting to accomplish the Lord’s purposes through self-effort and instead operating from what the Lord has already completed and from the direction of His Holy Spirit leading the way.

This revelation presents this place of rest as the greatest place from which to live because, when we remain there, we are essentially “on a roll” and riding with and by the hand of the Lord. Our confidence is no longer rooted in our own ability to make things happen but in the Lord’s completed work, His direction, and His ability to bring His purposes to pass.

This further points to John in the book of Revelation, who received this profound revelation on the Lord’s Day while he was alone and free from distractions on the Isle of Patmos. His solitude on the Isle allowed him to focus completely upon the Lord, and the results were extraordinary. The lesson is that us finding the place of rest in what the Lord has already done and completed creates an environment in which we can hear and receive from Him with much greater clarity because our hearts are at rest.

So rather than us being consumed with our own activity, we become positioned to receive the Lord’s perspective and His revelation on all things. Thus, Sabbath becomes a prophetic picture of entering a place where we are no longer driven by self-generated activity but on us resting in the Lord’s finished work, by listening to His Holy Spirit, and moving according to the direction He chooses. Ephesians.2:10.

The secret Place of His Presence is the ultimate destination of this journey with the Lord. So as we delight ourselves in Him and enter His rest, we start experiencing His protection and divine covering over our lives. This revelation describes this reality as us being hidden in the secret place of His pavilion from the strife of tongues and in the secret place of His Presence from the plots of men. Psalm.27:5.

This reality of walking in the rest of the Lord is also connected with the life of Jesus, who walked in such a dimension of divine protection and authority that meant that men could not harm or touch Him until the appointed time He chose to surrender His life for our sins. His life demonstrated what it looks like to operate under the Father’s will rather than us being controlled by the pressures and intentions of men.

The Holy Spirit is therefore inviting every follower of Jesus to move from the place merely knowing about His Presence to actually living from His Presence, from us merely receiving occasional guidance to being fully governed by Him, and from experiencing “just enough God” to entering into the overflowing abundance of the Lord’s glory. The central challenge for us is therefore deeply personal as to whether we will remain where we are, or we will choose to ride further with the Holy Spirit into the dimension where He is?

The Holy Spirit is calling us to make greater room for Him by us deliberately delighting in the Lord, by honouring His appointed times, to cease from our own ways, by refusing to be governed by our own pleasures and opinions, and learning to speak words that originate from Him. As we do this, we will find ourselves positioned in the place where we enter the Lord’s rest and experience His perspective, His authority, His protection, and His glory.

The desired outcome is not merely to have just a more peaceful personal life, but the vision is that the Lord’s glory would radiate through His people in such a great measure which produces much fruit that remains, by changing the lives and circumstances of people, thus influencing nations, and bringing full glory to the magnificent name of Jesus.

May the grace of the Holy Spirit be abundantly supplied to you to walk in these truths and may you take the deliberate action to Sabbath and delight yourself in the Lord, by giving Him your undivided attention and entering the rest of His completed work. May you cease from your own ways, your own pleasure, and your own words, and learn to move according to the Holy Spirit’s direction by speaking only the words He gives you.

I declare that you are moving beyond the place of “just enough” into the overflowing bounty of the Lord’s oceans of glory. You will not remain at the lower level when the Holy Spirit is calling you higher and you are entering the Lord’s rest, by riding upon the high places of the earth, and experiencing life from His perspective. You are being overtaken by the Presence of the Holy Spirit, governed by His wisdom, directed by His counsel, and empowered by His anointing.

You are hidden in the secret place of His Presence and protected from the strife of tongues and the plots of men. You will not be driven by your own opinions, pleasures, fears, or ambitions, but you will walk in the divine order of the Holy Spirit and the glory of the Lord will radiate through you.

The anointing upon your life will produce fruit that remains, circumstances will be changed by the power of the Lord working through you, and your life will become a vessel through which the righteousness of the Lord is revealed and desired.

I declare that you are riding with the Lord into higher places in His rest, under His authority, within His divine government, and in the magnificence of His glory. The Holy Spirit is bringing you into alignment with the centre of the Lord’s will for this season, and you will experience the fullness of what He has ordained for you.

Nations will be touched, lives will be transformed, and the name of Jesus will receive glory through what He accomplishes in and through you. You will bear much fruit, and your fruit will remain, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

Today I am sharing a part of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on us riding with Him on the high places in complete rest.

This revelation is a call from the Holy Spirit to move beyond merely receiving His guidance into a deeper dimension of being completely overtaken by His Presence, so that His glory, anointing, and authority can flow through your life in a greater unprecedented measure. The question He presented was: Will you ride with the Holy Spirit further in His vehicle of glory, or remain in the place of “just enough,” rather than entering the overflowing bounty of His oceans of glory?

Although we may already be walking daily under the direction and guidance of the Holy Spirit, He is calling us higher into the place where His Presence so fills and governs us, so that through us an outpouring of His anointing can affect nations, change circumstances, and make righteousness become the desire of people’s hearts.

This picture of going higher with the Lord is drawn from Isaiah 58:13–14, where the Lord promises His people that those who honour His holy day, by turning away from their own pleasure and ways, and delight themselves in Him will be caused to “ride on the high hills of the earth” and be fed with the heritage of Jacob. This positioning in the Spirit represents more than just our ordinary Christian experience. It is a place where the Holy Spirit controls and directs our lives to where we begin to partake of everything the Lord says is available to us and we experience daily the fullness of the Lord.

The Holy Spirit highlighted the importance of the Sabbath or the day of rest as a significant part of entering into this dimension of riding with the Lord. In Genesis 2:1–3, after completing the heavens, the earth, and everything within them, the Lord rested on the seventh day, blessed it, and sanctified it. The striking revelation we miss is that man’s relationship with the Lord begins, in this sense, from the place of the Lord’s rest which He named the sabbath.

From scriptures account man clearly did not participate in the six-day creation work because he only entered into the picture on the seventh-day rest where the Lord’s work of creation had already been completed and everything was functioning according to the Lord’s order. Therefore, from the Holy Spirit’s perspective, Sabbath is not merely about us ceasing ordinary activity. It is a time where we delight ourselves completely in the Lord by giving Him our undivided attention.

The Lord makes His requirements very clear in Isaiah 58:13–14 where we are instructed to stop doing what pleases ourselves on His holy day and instead make the Lord Himself our delight. We are to honour the holy day by refusing to walk in our own ways which means we cease relying on the thoughts, opinions, judgments, and decisions that originate from ourselves which determine the path we follow.

The warning for us is clear that our own way ultimately leads to death, so we must cease from directing ourselves independently of the Lords input and leading. We are also instructed on the Sabbath to stop seeking our own pleasure and to stop speaking our own words. This fact connects directly with Jesus’ words in John 6:63, where He declared that it is the Spirit who gives life and that the flesh profits nothing.

The implication is that human words originating from ourselves do not carry the same life-giving power as words given by the Holy Spirit. From this commandment, the Holy Spirit is calling us to stop speaking merely from ourselves and learn to speak only what “thus says the Lord.” When the Lord’s words are placed in our mouths, they produce life and change circumstances.

So as we delight ourselves genuinely in the Lord, not just merely by calling Him our delight while continuing to live according to our own desires we then enter the place where He is which causes us to ride on the heights. From the vantage position being seated in the heavenly places far above all authority and power.

Our riding on the high places represents us entering a dimension in the Spirit where our lives begin to influence what happens around us, which even extends into us determining the affairs of nations. This is the place where the Holy Spirit’s government and authority become increasingly evident through us.

This revelation describes this process as us learning to ride where the Lord rides in His chariots of fire and under His divine control over situations and affairs. It is portrayed as a place of supreme glory where we the followers of Jesus walk in the reality of all the authority Christ possesses over everything in heaven and on earth.

This fact is not presented as self-exaltation or human influence platform for us, but as the result of us becoming so yielded to the Holy Spirit that the Lord’s purposes can be expressed through our surrendered vessels. The goal is that the anointing flowing through we the Lord’s people would produce results that demonstrate His glory, transform societies, and expand His Kingdom.

I declare that you are moving beyond the place of “just enough” into the overflowing bounty of the Lord’s oceans of glory. You will not remain at the lower level when the Holy Spirit is calling you higher and you are entering the Lord’s rest, by riding upon the high places of the earth, and experiencing life from His perspective. You are being overtaken by the Presence of the Holy Spirit, governed by His wisdom, directed by His counsel, and empowered by His anointing.

You are hidden in the secret place of His Presence and protected from the strife of tongues and the plots of men. You will not be driven by your own opinions, pleasures, fears, or ambitions, but you will walk in the divine order of the Holy Spirit and the glory of the Lord will radiate through you.

The anointing upon your life will produce fruit that remains, circumstances will be changed by the power of the Lord working through you, and your life will become a vessel through which the righteousness of the Lord is revealed and desired in Jesus name. Amen.

Today I share with you the conclusion to my communion time on how speaking with the boldness of the Holy Spirit creates the atmosphere for the miraculous.

The emphasis is therefore not one of manufactured excitement but on Holy Spirit activity which produced Holy Spirit boldness, resulting in a demonstration of extraordinary Kingdom results. The miraculous results of this encounter continued into Acts 4:32–37 where we see the multitude of believers become “of one heart and one soul.” Their unity was extraordinary because they no longer viewed their possessions merely as their own but willingly shared what they possessed for the benefit of the whole community. Selfishness was eradicated which was a great miracle.

Acts 4:33 says: “And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.” The apostles demonstrated the tangible power of the resurrection of Jesus as their witness was not merely verbal but it was accompanied by great power and great grace. The grace that manifested had practical consequences. So according to Acts 4:34–35, there was no one among them who lacked because those who owned lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds to the apostles, who distributed the resources according to the needs of the believers.

Acts 4:36–37 gives the example of Joses, whom the apostles called Barnabas, meaning “Son of Encouragement.” He was a Levite from Cyprus who owned land, sold it, and brought the money to the apostles. The result was remarkable resulting in a corporate deliverance from lack. This word highlights the extraordinary unity of the early Church. Every soul was united in heart and purpose, and believers were willing to relinquish personal ownership of possessions for the common good.

This was more than an impressive spiritual gathering because the resurrection power of Jesus was being tangibly manifested, as great grace was operating among the believers, and material resources were being released to eliminate the burden of poverty and lack among them. The result was that the believers’ circumstances changed dramatically as those who had abundant resources released them so that their brothers and sisters would not remain in need.

There was therefore corporate deliverance rather than an environment where individuals merely celebrated their own prosperity while others remained in need. The revelation expresses a longing to see such a manifestation again in our generation where the Holy Spirit is permitted to work through believers in such extraordinary ways that the declaration of the Lord’s Word is accompanied by the manifest hand of the Lord through miraculous signs.

This revelation is a call to pursue the grace of Holy Spirit Boldness. So the final appeal is for the Holy Spirit to ignite within us a fresh fire, passion, and determination to pursue this grace of boldness. The desired outcome is not boldness for personal recognition or religious performance but it is to have the boldness of the Holy Spirit that causes the Word of God to be spoken with such supernatural authority that the hand of the Lord is manifested, producing healing, signs, wonders, resurrection power, unity, grace, provision, and transformation.

My prayer is that this would grace would produce an awakening to the Lord in our generation with a manifestation of the miraculous so unmistakable that people would have to acknowledge that the Lord has visited His people and that we are living in days of His full manifestation. The Holy Spirit is therefore calling for us to pursue this reality passionately rather than settling for just our natural ability, human eloquence, manufactured excitement, or powerless religious activity of just sermons and Christian fellowships.

Please remember that the ultimate desire is for us to become people through whom the Lord Himself is demonstrated for men to see as His Word is spoken boldly through our mouths, with His power manifested openly, by observing His grace released abundantly, and His Kingdom expanded for the glory of Jesus.

I declare that the Holy Spirit is filling you afresh with supernatural boldness and you will no longer depend upon your natural eloquence, personality, strength, intellect, or ability, but upon the supernatural empowerment of the Holy Spirit infusing you. You will receive abundant grace to speak the Word of God with all boldness, without timidity, fear, hesitation, or trepidation.

I declare that your words will carry the unction of the Holy Spirit so that where there is darkness, your Holy Spirit-empowered declaration will release light. Where there is death, life will emerge, Where there is chaos, divine order will be established and Where the enemy has erected barriers, the power of the Holy Spirit will break through them.

As you speak the Word of the Lord in the boldness of the Holy Spirit, may the hand of the Lord be stretched out through your life to heal, deliver, restore, liberate, and perform signs and wonders through the name of Jesus to transform the lives of people. May your life become a testimony that the power of the resurrected Christ is still working among His people in our generation.

I declare that you will not merely talk about what the Lord can do but you will become a vessel through whom the reality of the Lord is manifested. May great grace rest upon you, and may the Holy Spirit produce through you results that cannot be explained by human ability in Jesus name.

May the Lord restore among His people a deeper unity of heart and soul and may selfishness give way to generosity, thus causing human division to give way for agreement, and individual concern give way to corporate love. May all resources be released to meet genuine needs, and may there be a corporate deliverance from lack as the grace of God operates powerfully among His people.

I declare that a fresh awakening to the Holy Spirit’s boldness is coming upon you and you will passionately pursue the reality of the Holy Spirit’s power until your life becomes an undeniable testimony of the presence of the Lord. May the manifestation through your life be so clear that people will have to acknowledge that “The Lord has visited us.”

May the Word of the Lord be spoken with boldness from your mouth, may the hand of the Lord be stretched forth, so that signs and wonders will follow its declaration, as great grace rests upon us His people, and the Kingdom of Jesus is expanded throughout the earth. May you be found passionately pursuing this reality in your generation, in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

From this first part of my communion time, the Holy Spirit wants us to understand clearly the fact that He is not depending on us to produce anything for the Lord through our own strength, ability, personality, eloquence, or natural capacity. Rather, He wants us to depend completely upon Him to empower us to become and do what the Lord created us to be. This makes clear that our effectiveness in the Kingdom does not originate in ourselves, but that it comes from the supernatural empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, we must look to Him for the boldness necessary to become effective witnesses and instruments of the Lord’s Kingdom. Even if we consider ourselves eloquent speakers, our natural eloquence is insufficient for Kingdom purposes. Eloquence of speech can never defeat the works of the devil. So we need something beyond natural ability to get the job done which is the boldness that comes from the Holy Spirit.

In Acts 4:29–30 we hear this prayer: “Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.” This prayer should become our daily cry before the Lord: that we might speak the Word of God with all the boldness that flows from the Holy Spirit.

We see clearly that after the apostles were threatened because they continued speaking in the name of Jesus, they did not respond to the threats by relying on their own courage or natural confidence. Instead, they prayed for supernatural empowerment. There is a profound difference between merely speaking God’s Word with our natural voice and speaking that same Word under the unction of the Holy Spirit. Words spoken by the Holy Spirit carry life into places dominated by darkness and death and radiate light, by bringing forth life, transforming chaos into order, and causing negative circumstances to change.

So the clear objective for us as followers of Jesus is not merely to speak the Lord’s Word, but to speak them with the supernatural boldness and empowerment of the Holy Spirit which produces supernatural results. The apostles did not ask for a small measure of courage but they specifically asked the Lord to grant them the ability to speak His Word “with all boldness.” This means that there should be no deliberate deficiency in our spiritual boldness. We should do no speaking for the Lord while remaining dominated by timidity, fear, hesitation, or trepidation.

We should desire to be fully loaded with all the boldness the Holy Spirit possesses and supplies, because that boldness carries the capacity to produce answers of great magnitude. This message emphasises the fact that our boldness in speaking the Word is directly connected with the manifestation of the Lord’s hand through miraculous results. The apostles asked for boldness to speak the Word, and then connected that boldness with the Lord stretching out His hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of Jesus.

Thus we see, that without the boldness of speaking that comes from the Holy Spirit, we should not expect to see the full manifestation of the Lord’s miraculous power through our lives. We must therefore deliberately ask the Lord, through the Holy Spirit, for the boldness to speak His Word, then trust and know that the manifestation of the hand of the Lord will follow. This agrees with the principle in Zechariah.4:6 which reads these words: “Not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord.”

Our shouting, high volume, personality, or natural intensity cannot break through the enemy’s resistance. What breaks through obstacles is being filled with the boldness of the Holy Spirit. The apostles prayed for boldness, and the Holy Spirit answered them through Acts 4:31 which says these words:“ And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.”

This is a striking contrast to what often happens in our Church gatherings because we see people themselves generating the shaking, activity, excitement, and commotion. But here in acts, the Holy Spirit was the One who shook the place. The apostles prayed, the place was shaken, and they were filled with the Holy Spirit, and the immediate result was that they spoke the Word of God with boldness.

I declare that the Holy Spirit is filling you afresh with supernatural boldness and you will no longer depend upon your natural eloquence, personality, strength, intellect, or ability, but upon the supernatural empowerment of the Holy Spirit infusing you. You will receive abundant grace to speak the Word of God with all boldness, without timidity, fear, hesitation, or trepidation.

I declare that your words will carry the unction of the Holy Spirit so that where there is darkness, your Holy Spirit-empowered declaration will release light. Where there is death, life will emerge, Where there is chaos, divine order will be established and Where the enemy has erected barriers, the power of the Holy Spirit will break through them.

As you speak the Word of the Lord in the boldness of the Holy Spirit, may the hand of the Lord be stretched out through your life to heal, deliver, restore, liberate, and perform signs and wonders through the name of Jesus to transform the lives of people. May your life become a testimony that the power of the resurrected Christ is still working among His people in our generation.

I declare that you will not merely talk about what the Lord can do but you will become a vessel through whom the reality of the Lord is manifested. May great grace rest upon you, and may the Holy Spirit produce through you results that cannot be explained by human ability in Jesus name. Amen.

Today in conclusion of my communion time with the Holy Spirit I invite you to receive these words of life in understanding how our ministry to the Lord changes the direction of our lives into greater influence.

A shift had come for their lives so Paul and Barnabas needed to recognise it, and their willingness to minister to the Lord created the setting in which the Holy Spirit could reveal that shift. This message therefore encourages us to prioritise making time to minister to the Lord and watch closely for what begins to change in our lives and circumstances because the Holy Spirit always reveals what lies ahead for us to accomplish for the Kingdom. We are to remember that Jesus had also said in John 16:13 that the Holy Spirit would “reveal to us the things to come.”

This aspect of the Holy Spirit’s ministry becomes evident in this experience of Paul and Barnabas. The Holy Spirit revealed in this moment that their future was going to change dramatically, not merely in ministry responsibility but in practically every aspect of their lives. They would leave Antioch and move into different regions. So they would no longer remain settled within one environment in a single region or simply live ordinary, predictable lives in their homes.

Their assignment would require them to be continually on the move, by effectively living out of their suitcases as they followed the sphere of influence the Lord was opening up before them. Their previous church-based support structure would no longer be the primary framework for their lives. The Holy Spirit Himself would now become the One directing their affairs and, in the language of today become their “Boss.”

This becomes the reality when the Holy Spirit becomes the One directing your affairs. So once the Holy Spirit took over the direction of Paul and Barnabas’ lives, everything changed as a new authority operated in their lives. New sources of provision and new ways of obtaining what they needed became available including things they had never previously experienced.

This was not abandonment to the elements in the world because the Lord who sent them would not send them out as orphans to perish. The same Holy Spirit who commissioned them would provide what was necessary for them to fulfil the assignment He sent them out to do. So their provision would come as they followed the Holy Spirit’s direction.

This message therefore presents how obedience to the Holy Spirit is not merely as a spiritual ideal but the pathway into the Lord’s provision, positioning, purpose, influence, supernatural activity, and greater dimensions of ministry. The record from Acts 13 onward is dramatic as we see what Paul subsequently manifested through the power of Jesus was extraordinary in magnitude.

His life became a living demonstration of what can happen when a disciple of Jesus becomes sensitive to and obedient to the Holy Spirit. Their story is therefore presented as a reminder of how obedience to the Holy Spirit can radically reposition a believer and propel them into dimensions of the Lord’s plan they could never have entered by remaining in their former environment.

This message closes with a prayer that the Holy Spirit will open your eyes to these truths and impart grace wherever you currently are in our relationship with Jesus. My desire is that you would be propelled into the Lord’s plan for your lives, while also allowing the Holy Spirit to move you back into the proper place and alignment for this present season.

Even in the times when you have become misaligned, by remaining in a former position too long, or failed to recognise that the Lord is directing you into something new. Know for certain that the Holy Spirit is able to reposition you and bring you back into the centre of Jesus’ present will for your lives.

This prayer is also for the Holy Spirit to enable you to recover your lost years and bring you into the place of glory that He ordained for you to walk in. Your decisive requirement is simple which is to be ready to follow whatever the Holy Spirit asks you to do because as you yield to His direction, you should expect Him to bring changes into your lives that could never have occurred through human planning alone.

I declare that your eyes are being opened to the ministry and leadership of the Holy Spirit. You will no longer remain stagnant in an old understanding when the Spirit of truth is calling you into greater revelation. You receive grace to remain a humble student of the truth, by continually learning, discerning, and understanding the things of the Lord.

I declare that you will make room to minister to the Lord, and as you seek Him, the Holy Spirit will speak clearly to you concerning your next assignment, your present positioning, and the things to come. You will be propelled by the Holy Spirit into the assignment ordained for you, and you will not go there abandoned or unsupported.

You will recognise every divine shift in your life and you will not resist the transition into the greater purpose of the Lord for your life. I declare that the Holy Spirit is bringing you back into alignment with the centre of Jesus’ will for you as every misplaced step is being corrected, every lost opportunity is being redeemed according to the Lord’s purpose, and your lost years are being recovered by the grace of God in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit who sends you out will provide for you as new doors, new sources of provision, new spheres of influence, and new dimensions of supernatural activity are open up as you obey His voice. The power of the Holy Spirit will work through your life in ways that testify to the reality of Jesus.

Your obedience will expand the reach of His Kingdom, and your life will become a testimony of what happens when a disciple follows the Spirit of truth. You will not miss your divine positioning but you will hear, understand, obey, and move promptly on the Holy Spirit’s instruction.

The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth, by revealing what you need to know, by showing you things to come, thus glorifying Jesus through your life, and leading you into the fullness of the assignment prepared for you. You are entering a new dimension of alignment, purpose, provision, influence, and glory by the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The central point of this revelation from the Lord is that the Holy Spirit has been given to us by the Father to guide us into the fullness of the Lord’s truth, purpose, provision, and glory to operate in our lives.

We must purposefully learn to cooperate with Him by remaining humble, available, sensitive, and obedient to His leading because the more deliberately we yield to His direction, the more fully we will experience what the Lord has prepared for our lives. The Holy Spirit’s primary role is to guide us into all Truth.

This message begins with a clear reminder of Jesus’ teaching concerning the specific ministry of the Holy Spirit in John 16:12–15 where Jesus explained that there were still many things His disciples needed to know but that they could not yet bear them.

However, when the Spirit of truth came, He would guide them into all truth, by speaking what He heard from Jesus, by revealing things to come, thus glorifying Jesus, and taking what belongs to Christ and declaring it to His followers. Since everything the Father has belongs to Jesus, the Holy Spirit makes the riches and realities of Christ known to us. This means that no matter how much truth we already have received, we must never become satisfied with our present level of understanding.

We are to remain humble students of the truth, by continually pursuing greater illumination and learning how the Lord’s truth is intended to operate in and through our lives. The Holy Spirit determines when further illumination is needed, so our responsibility is to remain available and sensitive to His guidance because He knows what we need to understand next and when we are ready to receive it.

Our deliberate decision to minister to the Lord creates room for Him to reveal our new direction. A powerful example is found in Acts 13:2 which reads these words:“ Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” This passage describes Paul, Barnabas, and others ministering to the Lord and fasting.

Significantly, the passage does not say that the Holy Spirit initially instructed them to set aside time that day. They themselves chose to minister to the Lord and added fasting to their devotion. This event reveals an important spiritual practice of the fact that we are kings and priests unto the Lord, and because of this reality ministering to the Lord is part of our priestly responsibility.

Therefore, we should deliberately establish times when we withdraw from other activities simply to minister to the Lord. The result of Paul and Barnabas taking this time was astonishing because it was while they ministered to the Lord, that the Holy Spirit spoke a new direction for their lives. They were separated from their familiar role within the local church and commissioned into a greater assignment by the Holy Spirit.

Their ministry was about to expand beyond the boundaries of their established church environment and reach much broader spheres of human life with the message of the Kingdom. The Holy Spirit was moving them into places where they would influence communities, workplaces, governments, and people far beyond the believers they had previously ministered to.

The Holy Spirit always leads us into greater dimensions of the Lord’s assignment for our lives. What happened in Acts 13 demonstrates the Holy Spirit guiding Paul and Barnabas into a greater understanding of the mission the Lord had appointed to them and reveals how their obedience to His leading would expand the reach of the Kingdom of Jesus.

The new assignment would expose them to vastly greater numbers of people and would be accompanied by remarkable miracles, signs, and wonders. These supernatural manifestations would testify that they had obeyed the truth and moved forward with the Holy Spirit.

The Kingdom would consequently begin to affect spheres of influence beyond the church, even reaching into the governmental and public life of the world around them. The Holy Spirit was acting upon what Jesus had already spoken concerning Paul’s calling to reach the Gentiles and bear His name before kings.

That assignment could never have been fulfilled if Paul had remained permanently within the familiar environment of church ministry, continually ministering to the same believers and the people they brought into the church week after week.

I declare that your eyes are being opened to the ministry and leadership of the Holy Spirit. You will no longer remain stagnant in an old understanding when the Spirit of truth is calling you into greater revelation. You receive grace to remain a humble student of the truth, by continually learning, discerning, and understanding the things of the Lord.

I declare that you will make room to minister to the Lord, and as you seek Him, the Holy Spirit will speak clearly to you concerning your next assignment, your present positioning, and the things to come. You will recognise every divine shift in your life and you will not resist the transition into the greater purpose of the Lord for your life.

I declare that the Holy Spirit is bringing you back into alignment with the centre of Jesus’ will for you as every misplaced step is being corrected, every lost opportunity is being redeemed according to the Lord’s purpose, and your lost years are being recovered by the grace of God in Jesus name. Amen.

Today I present you the conclusion of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on us being carriers of the notable miracles of the Lord.

Let us take a look at Peter as he became a carrier of a notable miracle in Acts 3:6-10 at the Beautiful Gate, where Peter encountered a man who had been lame for thirty eight years. Peter simply told him these words: “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” Peter then took him by the right hand and lifted him up.

Immediately, the man’s feet and ankle bones received strength. He leaped up, stood, walked, and entered the temple with Peter and John, walking, leaping, and praising God. Everyone saw him and the people knew this was the same man who had previously sat begging at the Beautiful Gate, and they were filled with wonder and amazement because the man was no longer dependent upon begging people for survival at the beautiful gate because his condition had been completely transformed.

In Acts 3:11-12, the healed man held onto Peter and John, as the astonished crowd gathered around them but Peter immediately corrected their perception as they were amazed at the miracle that just took place. Peter then asked why they were marvelling and looking at them as though they had caused the man to walk by their own power or godliness because Peter knew that the miracle was not about his human ability. It was about the demonstration of Jesus working through them.

Peter then explained further in Acts 3:16 that it was the name of Jesus, through faith in His name, that had made the man strong. Yes the faith that comes through Jesus had given the man his perfect soundness in the presence of everyone. The miracle therefore became a public demonstration of the power of the living Jesus. Peter was not interested in people concluding that he possessed some extraordinary personal ability. He only wanted them to recognise that the name of Jesus has the power to deliver, and that faith in His name had produced this marvellous and undeniable work.

The impact becomes even clearer in Acts 4:16-17. When the religious authorities considered what to do about Peter and John, as they acknowledged something remarkable by saying these words: “A notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.” This is the kind of testimony the Holy Spirit wants to produce through the lives of His people today as witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus from the grave.

The enemies did not want the message of Jesus to spread, but they could not deny the evidence. So they had to admit that a notable miracle had occurred because everyone could see it. Their response was therefore not intended to disprove the miracle because they could not, however it was used to threaten Peter and John so that they would stop speaking in the name of Jesus. This fact of manifesting Jesus through the miraculous demonstrates the power of visible, undeniable evidence. When the Lord manifests His power through His people, even those who oppose the message will be forced to acknowledge what they have witnessed.

Their attitude becomes this that We do not like it, but we have to admit it. Jesus is great, and everybody can see what He has done. This fact is the challenge and invitation of this message through the Holy Spirit which is for us to become a carrier of notable miracles. The goal is not merely to discuss miracles, admire miracles, read about miracles, or believe that miracles happened in biblical times. The Holy Spirit wants us as followers of Jesus to become vessels through whom the reality of Jesus is demonstrated to people through signs, wonders, and miracles that cannot be denied.

The purpose of the miraculous is not for our personal fame or spiritual reputation. The purpose is that people will see the reality of Jesus and turn back toward serving the Lord. Jesus demonstrated the Father’s heart by His actions. Peter demonstrated the power of Jesus through the healing at the Beautiful Gate. The result was that people saw something they could not dismiss. The Holy Spirit therefore wants our determination to become: “I will be a carrier of the notable miracles of Jesus in my generation.”

This reality requires more than a passive belief because it requires a heart stirred into action with a willingness to pursue the Lord wholeheartedly, by hearing what He is saying, obeying what He directs, and allowing His power to operate through us. Always remember that the purpose Is Kingdom Expansion. The prayer of the message is that as these truths take root, in us the Holy Spirit will supply the grace to make us carriers of the notable miracles of Jesus.

These manifestations are not intended merely to make individuals marvel. They are meant to change society, transform lives, and expand the Kingdom of Jesus, just as the miracles in the book of Acts contributed to the spread of the Gospel. The Holy Spirit wants our hearts so stirred that we pursue the Lord wholeheartedly until this is no longer merely something we read about in Scripture but what becomes a daily reality in our lives.

The ultimate objective is that through our yielded lives, people will encounter undeniable demonstrations of the reality, goodness, authority, and power of Jesus Christ—and the Kingdom of Jesus will be expanded for His glory. It is one thing to believe what the Lord can do but it is another thing to manifest who the Lord is through demonstration.

The Holy Spirit is calling us to walk beyond passive faith into active demonstration. We are to become vessels who hear the Lord’s heart, act upon His word, and allow Him to prove His declarations through our lives. So just as Like Jesus raising the little girl in Luke 8:52-56, we are to demonstrate the Lord’s perspective in situations where natural circumstances appear final. Like Jesus healing the woman in Luke 13:10-17, we are to demonstrate the Lord’s liberating power over Satan’s oppression.

Like Peter at the Beautiful Gate in Acts 3:6-10, we are to release what we have received from Jesus and allow His name to bring transformation. And like the apostles in Acts 4:16-17, we are to live in such a way that the Lord’s works through us become notable, evident to all, and impossible to deny. The prayer is therefore not simply, “Lord, let me believe in miracles.” But it is: “Lord, make me a carrier of the notable miracles of Jesus.”

In the name of Jesus, I declare that the Holy Spirit is stirring within you a holy determination to become a carrier of the notable miracles of Jesus. Your faith will no longer remain merely a conviction about what the Lord can do but it will become a living demonstration of who the Lord is through your life.

You will hear what the Lord is saying to you and move promptly to prove what He has spoken. You will not be intimidated by circumstances, opposition, unbelief, ridicule, or the limitations of natural reasoning. The reality of the Lord’s hand working through you will become greater to you than the appearance of any situation.

Like Jesus, you will speak the Lord’s perspective into situations that appear hopeless, and the power of the Holy Spirit will confirm His word through your obedience. Like the woman in Luke 13, people who have been bound for years will encounter freedom through the power of Jesus working through you as a yielded vessel. The Lord will make His works through you notable because they will be evident to those around you, and there will be manifestations that cannot be denied.

I declare that even those who oppose you will not be able to disprove what the Lord has done through you. The miracles will not point people to your own power, godliness, reputation, or ability but they will point unmistakably to the name of Jesus. Like the man at the Beautiful Gate, those who have suffered limitation will arise into a new dimension of life, and their transformation will become visible evidence that Jesus is alive.

I declare that grace is being supplied to you now to pursue the Lord wholeheartedly, to become sensitive to His voice, courageous in obedience, and available for His power to flow through you. Your life will become a vessel through which signs, wonders, miracles, deliverances, and demonstrations of the heart of Jesus are made visible. May your life become a testimony that causes people to marvel, then turn toward the Lord, and acknowledge that the hand of the Most High is at work.

May notable miracles through your life bring transformation to individuals, families, communities, and society by contributing to the great expansion of the Kingdom of Jesus. So you will not merely speak about what the Lord can do, because you will become a carrier through whom He demonstrates what He can do. You will not merely tell people that Jesus is alive, but you will live out the evidence that He is alive.

May your heart be stirred, your faith be activated, your hands become yielded, and your life is made available for manifesting the glory of the Lord. From this day forward, may the notable miracles of Jesus become increasingly evident through your life, for the salvation of souls, the transformation of lives, the expansion of His Kingdom, and the glory of His name to cover the earth as the waters cover the sea in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Today I am sharing a portion of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on us being carriers of the notable miracles of the Lord.

The Holy Spirit, during my communion time with Him, spoke clearly about the necessity of us developing a determination of heart and soul that says, “I will be a carrier of the notable miracles of the Lord for people to see, so that they may turn to God.” It is one thing to believe that the Lord is capable of doing something, but it is a completely different thing to become a vessel through whom who the Lord manifests His power.

The Holy Spirit wants us to move beyond merely believing in the Lord’s power scripture shows us, to living in such a way that His power and character are demonstrated through our lives. We should be able to hear what the Lord wants done, act upon it, and then prove what the Lord has spoken through tangible results that people can see. Jesus always demonstrated the Father’s reality through irrefutable action.

In Luke 8:52-56, when everyone was weeping and mourning because a young girl had died. Jesus, declared emphatically these words, “Do not weep; for she is not dead, but sleeping.” As per normal when a spiritual man speaks those present ridiculed Him because they knew from a natural standpoint that she was dead. Jesus went on to remove them from the room, took the girl by the hand, called her to arise, and immediately her spirit returned and she got up.

Jesus then instructed that she be given something to eat. Her parents were astonished, and Jesus instructed them to tell no one what had happened. This event reveals the difference between man’s interpretation of a situation and the Lord’s reality which is spoken in Romans.4:17 which speaks of the fact that in the Lord’s Presence, He gives life to the dead and calls things which do not exist as though they did. So the people looked at death and saw an irreversible ending but Jesus looked at the same situation and declared the Lord’s perspective that she was only sleeping.

Their response was a ridicule because what Jesus said appeared absurd according to natural circumstances. Yet Jesus did not bother to argue with them but He acted and proved His declaration by raising the girl from the dead. The proof by raising her from death was so undeniable that no explanation was necessary because the funeral they expected as the next thing to happen never took place and no grave was dug.

The girl was alive, well and eating again. Jesus could even say to the parents, “Tell no one,” because the manifestation itself was sufficient evidence. Everyone could see the result and draw the obvious conclusion that Jesus some how knew what He was saying, and He proved it by action rather than words alone. The Holy Spirit wants us to emulate that pattern of living by walking in that same reality which means we do not merely talk about what the Lord can do but become vessels through whom the Lord’s reality can be visibly demonstrated.

We must also walk as Jesus did by always demonstrating His authority over satan. We see another example of Jesus demonstrating His authority over the devil in Luke 13:10-13. When Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the Sabbath He saw a woman who had been afflicted by a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. She was bent over and unable to straighten herself, so Jesus called her forward and declared these words to her: “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.”

Then He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and she glorified the Lord. Jesus again demonstrated openly that satan’s power could not withstand the authority of the Lord. The woman had been bound for eighteen years, yet Jesus brought freedom to her in the presence of those who doubted and opposed Him. The miracle itself became the evidence of the Lord Jesus’s authority.

The synagogue ruler was indignant because Jesus had healed her on the Sabbath day. In Luke 13:14-17, he told the crowd that there were six days on which people ought to work and that they should come to be healed on those days rather than on the Sabbath. Jesus simply exposed the hypocrisy of this reasoning by pointing out that they would untie their ox or donkey on the Sabbath and lead it to water.

If they would care enough about an animal to give it what it needed, how much more should this woman who was a daughter of Abraham who had been bound by Satan for eighteen years, be released from her bondage on the Sabbath? Jesus brought the truth into the open that they were willing to care for their animals but objected when a woman who had been suffering for eighteen years received her freedom.

The result of this miracle was powerful because: “All His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.” Jesus again on this occasion used an infallible proof, through the miracle itself to silence the voice of His enemies. This evidence was undeniable and this is the place the Holy Spirit wants us to occupy: which is a place where the Lord’s heart concerning a situation is demonstrated so clearly through our actions that opposition cannot successfully deny what the Lord has done.

In the name of Jesus, I declare that the Holy Spirit is stirring within you a holy determination to become a carrier of the notable miracles of Jesus. Your faith will no longer remain merely a conviction about what the Lord can do but it will become a living demonstration of who the Lord is through your life.

I declare that you will hear what the Lord is saying to you and move promptly to prove what He has spoken. You will not be intimidated by circumstances, opposition, unbelief, ridicule, or the limitations of natural reasoning. The reality of the Lord’s hand working through you will become greater to you than the appearance of any situation.

Like Jesus, you will speak the Lord’s perspective into situations that appear hopeless, and the power of the Holy Spirit will confirm His word through your obedience. Like the woman in Luke 13, people who have been bound for years will encounter freedom through the power of Jesus working through you as a yielded vessel.

I pray that the Lord will make His works through you notable because they will be evident to those around you, and there will be manifestations that cannot be denied. I declare that even those who oppose you will not be able to disprove what the Lord has done through you. The miracles will not point people to your own power, godliness, reputation, or ability but they will point unmistakably to the name of Jesus. Amen.

This is the conclusion to my communion time on understanding the power of the grace of the Lord to enable you accomplish His will for your life.

The Apostle Paul is another major demonstration of the power in the grace of God where through grace a former enemy of the kingdom is transformed into becoming a vessel of honour for the Master’s use. Paul repeatedly acknowledged that his effectiveness in his ministry came from the grace of God working in him. His past had included blasphemy and opposition to Jesus, yet the grace of the Lord transformed him into a vessel of honour and empowered him to minister effectively among the Gentiles.

In Galatians 2:7-9, Paul explains that the gospel to the uncircumcised had been entrusted to him just as the gospel to the circumcised had been entrusted to Peter. The same God who worked effectively through Peter toward the Jews worked effectively through Paul toward the Gentiles. James, Cephas (Peter), and John, recognising the grace given to Paul which was evident in action, extended the right hand of fellowship to Paul and Barnabas and acknowledged their assignment to the Gentiles authorised by the Lord Jesus.

We see clearly that, the grace operating in Peter was not inferior to the grace operating in Paul because the same divine ability was working through different vessels for different assignments to different peoples. The grace of God enabled Paul to become what his former life would have made impossible and to accomplish a ministry far beyond what his natural qualifications could explain.

Therefore we must recognise that grace is not given so that a person can boast about their personal greatness, talent, intelligence, spirituality, or accomplishment. The Holy Spirit wants us as the followers of Jesus to value the grace bestowed upon us, by repenting of disrespecting or misusing it, and recognising the potency of what has actually been entrusted to us to steward. We must acknowledge the fact that grace demonstrates how mighty the Lord is when He chooses to work through people whom the world would disregard as useless.

The Lord chooses to use what man considers insignificant to accomplish what man considers impossible, so that no flesh can glory in His presence. Therefore, when the Lord accomplishes something remarkable through you, the proper response is not self-exaltation but worship, adoration and gratitude that: “This is the grace of God working through me.” This extraordinary result points back to the extraordinary Lord who supplied the ability for me to accomplish this marvel.

Never take the grace of God for granted. The central warning is that we as followers of Jesus must not allow our familiarity with the word “grace” to make us careless about the reality of the grace working through us. Grace is not just a theological concept to admire from a distance. It is supernatural ability made available to us for the assignment the Lord has given us.

So remember that if the Lord has called you to build something extraordinary for the Kingdom, it is His grace which enables you to build. If the Lord has called you to minister extensively to various Nations, grace is what enables you to minister. If the Lord has called you to overcome immovable obstacles, it is His grace that supplies you the ability to overcome them. If the work of building has stalled, grace alone can empower you to rise up again to build.

The Holy Spirit is calling you to lay hold of the abundant grace being apportioned to you rather than remaining passive, discouraged, or dependent upon your natural strength to bring you triumph. The picture of Zerubbabel’s life is particularly significant: because when the work had ceased, grace was still available to bring it to completion once it was acknowledged and received. It is time to rise again and complete the work the Lord has given to you.

The final exhortation is therefore a call to action. So whatever the Lord has assigned to your life, do not conclude that its difficulty means it cannot be accomplished. Never measure the possibility of its fulfilment by your natural strength because just as the grace of God enabled Noah to build the ark, empowered Gideon to become a deliverer, Zerubbabel to complete the temple, and Paul to fulfil his apostolic assignment, that same principle of divine empowerment remains available to the you today.

The Holy Spirit wants you to allow His grace to engulf and propel you into action, by bringing into reality everything the Lord has declared concerning your life. Remember that you are not being asked to accomplish the Lord’s purposes by yourself. You are being called to yield to the supernatural ability of God already being supplied by His grace to you. The key message is that grace is not merely the Lord’s undeserved favour towards us, but grace is the Lord’s supernatural ability working through us to accomplish what only the Lord can do.

Therefore never take the grace of God casually, never despise what grace the Lord has given you by relying exclusively on your natural ability. Do not allow stalled natural circumstances to convince you that the Lord’s assignment for your life is finished. Never boast in yourself of what the grace of God accomplishes through you, but instead, recognise, receive, and cooperate with the grace of God apportioned to you.

Rise up again where the work has stopped by allowing the grace of the Lord to empower you to complete what the Lord has assigned for you to accomplish. Let every extraordinary result through the Lord’s grace become a testimony of the mighty God working through a yielded vessel obeying His commands.

I declare in the name of Jesus that the grace of God upon your life is becoming real, active, powerful, and unmistakable to you. You will no longer treat the Lord’s grace as an ordinary or familiar concept, but you will recognise it as the supernatural ability of God working in and through you. So that where you have been weak, grace strengthens you. Where you have been unable to cope, grace supplies you with ability ability.

I declare that where your assignment has stalled, abundant grace will cause you to arise again and shine. Where obstacles have stood before you, the grace of the Lord will give you supernatural capacity to overcome them. So that where you have wondered how the work will ever be completed, the Spirit of the Lord will make a supernatural way through for you. Just like Noah, you will receive grace to build what the Lord has commanded you to build.

I declare that just like it was with Gideon, you will rise above fear and become the deliverer the Lord has called you to be and like Zerubbabel, you will hear the word of the Lord saying to you : “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” and you will cry, “Grace, grace unto it!” Every work that the Lord ordained for your hands to accomplish will receive fresh supernatural ability. So that every place where progress has ceased, it will experience a divine restart in your life in Jesus name. Amen.

I declare that every obstacle that has mocked your natural ability will bow to the power of God’s grace operating through your life. You will complete what the Lord has commanded you to complete and like Paul, you will discover that the grace of God is sufficient to make you effective in the assignment He entrusted to you.

Every work that the Lord ordained for your hands to do will receive fresh supernatural ability and every place where progress has ceased will experience a divine restart. Every obstacle that has mocked your natural ability will bow to the power of God’s grace.

I declare that you will complete what the Lord has commanded you to complete and you will not glory in yourself, but only in what the Lord accomplished through you. Men will see what the Lord has accomplished through you and marvel at His greatness. As the grace of God will make your life a demonstration of His power, His wisdom, His faithfulness, and His glory.

It is time to rise up again and take hold of the grace being supplied to you now. So let the supernatural ability of the Lord engulf you, propel you, strengthen you, and bring you into the reality of everything the Lord has spoken concerning your life. So that what the Lord has ordained for you shall be accomplished, not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit in Jesus’ name. Amen.

This morning I am sharing a portion of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on the subject of grace.

The Holy Spirit, during my communion time with Him , brought my attention to a familiar truth that we as followers of Jesus often take for granted: the grace of God. Because the word “grace” is used so casually and repeatedly, its significance, relevance, and necessity can gradually diminish in our understanding. When this happens, we can be robbed of the potency of grace and its ability to make us conquer, overcome obstacles, and accomplish the purposes of the Lord in our lives.

The Holy Spirit therefore wants us as followers of Jesus to recover a proper understanding, appreciation, and active dependence upon the grace of God which is our access to life from the Lord. Firstly we must remember that grace is essential for our salvation. Ephesians.2:5. The first and foundational truth in our Christian walk is that without grace, salvation is impossible. Grace is the divine agency through which a person can turn from darkness to light in an instant.

It is entirely a gift from God and is not the result of human works, accomplishments, or merit, leaving no room for boasting. Ephesians 2:8 establishes this foundation: that salvation is by grace through faith and it is the gift of God. The Holy Spirit gave me a working definition of grace which is that: Grace is the supernatural ability of God given to a human being to be and do what only God can do, and to bring that process to completion on the earth.

Grace, therefore, is not merely the Lord’s kindness toward us. It is also the Lord’s supernatural ability working through a human vessel to accomplish what human ability alone could never accomplish. We see grace at work first in the life of Noah. Genesis 6:5-8 describes a world in which human wickedness had become exceedingly great and was overcoming human behaviour. The thoughts and intentions of man’s heart were continually evil. The Lord was grieved that He had made humanity and determined to destroy mankind, together with the animals and creatures of the earth.

Yet verse 8 declares these words: “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.” Noah’s situation illustrates clearly what grace can do in the midst of turmoil. While judgment was coming upon the earth, the Lord’s grace provided Noah with the supernatural ability to build an ark, something no ordinary human being could have conceived or accomplished by natural ability. Through this grace, Noah was able to obey the Lord’s instructions, construct the ark, preserve his family and the animals, and survive the forty-day continuous downpour.

The judgment that destroyed the rest of humanity did not destroy Noah because grace had enabled him to do what Lord required to keep him alive in the midst of the flood. When Noah emerged from the flood, he was able to begin life again, with everything necessary available for the continuation of humanity which had now been entrusted to him. This is why grace must never be treated casually because the grace that the Lord gives is His own ability operating through us, by enabling us to accomplish things that can preserve, deliver, rebuild, and transform the lives of ourselves and others.

The Bible is filled with examples of men and women who found grace in the Lord’s sight and consequently did things that nobody would have imagined they could accomplish. What of Gideon who provides us with another powerful illustration of the grace of God at work. He was initially a fearful and seemingly insignificant man, threshing wheat in a Wine Press. Yet when the angel of the Lord encountered him, and with a word from the Lord with grace transformed him from a fearful man into a deliverer of the nation of Israel.

Through the Lord’s supernatural ability, Gideon was empowered to obey the Lord’s instructions and defeat armies he had never fought before. The lesson is that grace does not merely meet us where we are but it also empowers us to become and accomplish what the Lord has appointed us to become and accomplish for Him on earth. So what looks impossible from the standpoint of natural human ability becomes possible when the supernatural ability of the Lord comes upon a person who yields to Him in surrender.

The Holy Spirit then pointed me to the life of Zerubbabel in Zechariah 4 which involved the work of rebuilding the temple which had encountered opposition and had ceased, yet the Lord declared these words: “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the Lord with the prophetic word concluding with the cry of: “Grace, grace unto it!” The completion of the temple would not happen because of human might, political power, or natural resources, but it would happen because the Spirit of God supplied the supernatural ability necessary to empower him to build.

Zerubbabel’s hands ultimately completed the temple as the Lord had declared, even though there were governmental laws and obstacles, including the reference to the Law of the Medes and Persians, which could not be altered. Those barriers could not prevent what the Lord’s grace empowered Zerubbabel to accomplish. This message is especially important for anyone whose God-given assignment has stalled: You must know that what has stopped does not necessarily have to remain stopped. Grace is able cause you to rise again and complete what the Lord ordained for your life.

I declare in the name of Jesus that the grace of God upon your life is becoming real, active, powerful, and unmistakable to you. You will no longer treat the Lord’s grace as an ordinary or familiar concept, but you will recognise it as the supernatural ability of God working in and through you. So that where you have been weak, grace strengthens you. Where you have been unable to cope, grace supplies you with ability ability.

I declare that where your assignment has stalled, abundant grace will cause you to arise again and shine. Where obstacles have stood before you, the grace of the Lord will give you supernatural capacity to overcome them. So that where you have wondered how the work will ever be completed, the Spirit of the Lord will make a supernatural way through for you. Just like Noah, you will receive grace to build what the Lord has commanded you to build.

I declare that just like it was with Gideon, you will rise above fear and become the deliverer the Lord has called you to be and like Zerubbabel, you will hear the word of the Lord saying to you : “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” and you will cry, “Grace, grace unto it!” Every work that the Lord ordained for your hands to accomplish will receive fresh supernatural ability. So that every place where progress has ceased, it will experience a divine restart in your life in Jesus name. Amen.
