The Holy Spirit said to me in my communion time with Him this morning that I needed to step up in my day the level of times I fill my heart with truth so my mind is saturated with His will.In Proverbs:4.21 in the Passion translation we read these words: Fill your thoughts with my words until they penetrate deep into your spirit.

Now as a daily habit I confess the word and have done so for many years, because I have seen the benefits of being filled with God’s words rather than mine. However when the Holy Spirit points out something we need to do that involves an increase in God’s glory. It is clear to me that my effort, though good, is not enough for the present moment.

So I need to take action to get in speed with the Lord through this command or I might lose this opportunity to lay hold of what new sphere of glory is planned for me.

It is not enough for me to do what I feel or believe is necessary to fulfil the will of the Lord. Joshua.7:3 & 4. It is only when we fully obey Him and what He is asking and requiring us to do that indicates our willingness and obedience to walk in what He has arranged and made ready for us to do.

We are not the Boss the Holy Spirit is and it is as we hear and obey Him that we can walk in His fullness regardless of the victories of yesterday no matter how great they were.

A servant Jesus explained in Luke:17.6-10 is not commended for doing what he is supposed to do and then immediately expect His master to then come and serve him. He is to eat and prepare himself for the next day of service and not think he is the master needing to be served.

So I got busy in my time with the Lord speaking out the scriptures of God’s thoughts concerning me and what He has so lavishly made available to me that empower me to succeed in life and reign as a king and priest for Him. Revelation.5:10. It is amazing to behold what the confession of the word of the Lord does for you when you engage with the Holy Spirit and allow those words to wash over you and penetrate into your innermost being. It is electric and extremely energy boosting bringing forth a surge of power for service. May that be your portion today in Jesus’ name.

Well this process of filling my thoughts with God’s words means that at the end of the day I will be saturated with what God is saying and doing but also empty of my thoughts and perspective which are limited, small and affect and implement nothing. However through continuous confession I will be loaded with the thoughts that flow from God which enable me to carry out and execute His plan. Isaiah.55:7-10.

The result of this process means that because my thoughts have been curbed and rendered impotent by God’s living thoughts that make His way available to me which  will bring into manifestation the miraculous works, signs and wonders by turning impossibilities to possibilities to show the reality of who God is.

I have on purpose stepped up my confessions of God’s words and I beseech you to through the grace contained in these words to prepare by engaging yourselves for what the Lord is planning to do to with you which you can be and have a part in if you are prepared when He knocks on your door for access.

I sense something unusual is about to happen in society that the Lord intends to use to bring forth  large numbers of men and women who will see the judgments of the Lord on earth and learn what righteousness is. Isaiah.26:9.This will change the dynamics in Nations and people will begin to regard the Lord more highly by looking for His guidance and deliverance through His ways and His words of hope to come out from the chaos man has created that continues to bind us.

I entreat you today to make yourself available for what the Lord plans to do on earth so you can be a part of His workers in accomplishing His plan by doing wonders and fulfilling His ancient plans faithfully and truly in Jesus name. Amen. Isaiah.25:1.

Today I share the conclusion of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on how we as followers of Jesus need to surrender our wills to the Lord in all things in order for His will to become our pursuit and primary goal as was with Jesus. John.5:30 from the Amplified Classic translation of the bible. Please look it up? May the Lord open your hearts to this truth because it will save you many unnecessary trials and struggles in your walk with the Lord.

I recall times when I was anointed very heavily and the Holy Spirit was moving in a spectacular way with and through me in terms of miracles.  After that experience I would say to the Lord please kill me and don’t let anything in me keep me from walking in this place with you. Never let me lose this Divine Presence.

My greatest desire is to experience your Presence like this always and that’s what I want to live for to be your servant like Jesus. Well many years after this the Holy Spirit spoke to me when I was feeling weak and said you will make it because at your most anointed times you asked Me to help you not fail?  So I will help you at this time by keeping you in what you chose you wanted from me. He has never failed to keep that choice of my will I committed to Him. 2 Timothy.2:12.

I never asked for material things for myself when under an anointing but the supernatural things God could give and do for me when I would be weak even though at the time of asking I did not know I would ever experience such weakness. Satan does do some stuff that stumps us.

Believe me when God is on you in a strong way nothing is impossible to you at that moment because it is like one is walking in a place where you know all things, can do all things and no worry or concern can affect you because it is all God working in and through you. Philippians.2:13.

You  may say how does this affect me because that was your peculiar situation? Well the reality is that if you make the choice to obey God and surrender your life to execute that choice for Him. You will have all the aid and help necessary to bring it to pass but it will be your decision to invite the Holy Spirit to help you carry it out. 

What I have shared here is completely different from being forced or coerced to do what you really don’t want to do, but you are being made to do. The Lord does not do that. He wants you to choose Him from the facts put before you. Who would choose death when the rewards of life are presented before you? 

Only the deceived heart but that is what we have as humans and only the choice to accept what Jesus did for us can position us to have a new heart that is the heart of the Lord that goes with truth . Jeremiah.17:9 & 10.

The Holy Spirit says that this word of caution and encouragement will help clear up decades of uncertainty in your hearts about the will of the Lord. It will open your eyes to your choices made and clearly reveal each situation where your choice for the Lord provided strength to accomplish His will. Also it will enable you to see where your wavering heart meant you made no choice which cost you.

You will be free from the offense against the Lord which has developed in you that has hampered your choices and made you vulnerable to satanic manipulation which has resulted in an attack with no results and no God fruit. However rejoice for that day of uncertainty ends today.

From now onward you will again be able to make the right choices for the Lord which the  Holy Spirit will back up as your choice for Him with all His resources being made available to you in Jesus name.  

You will see the tangible manifestation of the miraculous hand of the Lord in your life in Jesus name. Amen.

Today I am sharing the first part of my communion time with the Holy Spirit of how to surrender our will to the Lord thereby empowering Him to act on our behalf.

The Holy Spirit spoke to me this morning in my communion time about the privilege the Lord has given us humans to exercise is the ability to make choices in our life. We are the only creation on the earth that chooses what we do and how things turn out for us are dependent on the choices we make. The Lord gave us all a free will. 

The Holy Spirit reminded me that He the Lord has made every necessary knowledge or counsel we will ever need available for us to enable us to choose what is right which would bring us profit but it is our choice that decides which path we would take. Proverbs.14:12.

The Lord will not take that responsibility to choose from us even though He would advise us on the best path forward.However in the end it is always up to us to decide what path we choose to follow. Deuteronomy.28:1 & 2 & 15.

Now I know that most times we complain about being given free will because we don’t like the cost of the responsibility of the choices we make particularly when the real consequences of those actions begin to visit our lives. It is easy to blame the Lord saying you should not have allowed us to have and make the choice but insisted and made us obey. 

Well the Lord made us to have His image and likeness which means we have a will which requires the need to make choices about what happens in our lives. The Lord does not ever violate our will and choices because He wants us to love Him by choice and not by duress or compulsion.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of Jesus dealing with this conflict in the garden of Gethsemane in Luke:22.39-45, Matthew:26.36-46, Mark:14.32-42  when praying to the Father and discussing the will of the Father. Jesus said to the Father is there another way we can achieve the salvation of man without the cross and me suffering this anguish ? Nevertheless your will be done.

I choose your will based on the facts supplied to me and only after choosing the Father’s will was supernatural aid given to Jesus to pray more earnestly until the point where His sweat became drops of blood as He accomplished the will of the Father after that three hours of intense prayer with Angelic aid and support.

Well today the Holy Spirit wants you to know that if you choose to do His will He will empower you to come through no matter the challenges. In addition to this all heavens help will back you up to see to it that His plan is accomplished. However you need to make the choice.

Today I share the conclusion of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on cultivating more of His character and fruit in our lives. I pray that your hearts will be stirred to become more united and one with the Lord.

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me in this communion time new insight into the operation of fruit of the Spirit and how it is developed in us by the things we need to do to ensure we are walking with, in Him and not through our head knowledge which will still produce death many, many times over.

The concept of walking in the Spirit and not fulfilling the lusts and desires of the flesh is real. You can be assured it will be tested in us through real life situations with those closest to us. For certain also the Holy Spirit will evaluate us our progress and score our performance through providing retests in this area until we come through to victory by walking in complete surrender to Him. Galatians.5:16.

The Holy Spirit made it clear that we as humans most times believe we have nailed things much quicker than it really is and take for granted that we now possess them. This mindset is a great disadvantage and snare to us, because we are left to the enemy in an unguarded place (watch for this as it removes us from protection until we repent and change which is costly) believing we are guarded which satan can use to completely run us as a football to score goals of defeat, shame and disgrace which he wants people to believe is the fruit of serving God.

The result is that people think that serving God makes you wretched and worth nothing. So why leave sin if it benefits and provides temporary pleasure to just be Holy to have a life/death really of nothingness by giving up things to serve God.

We do need to let the Holy Spirit be the Judge of where we are spiritually and allow His assessment of us to guide us. This keeps us humble before Him and ensures our growth because we know that without His input we would fail anyway. So we keep submitting and surrendering your old nature to Him so we can gain His nature. Luke.9:23.

Well today I have shared a part of my time with the Lord with you so you can see that no matter how many years one has walked with the Lord each day is a fresh breath of revelation and insight for enrichment and edification.

We are disciples not masters.

We will never attain Master status but will be allowed to partake and share His status as we walk in total surrender to Him. (Let this soak in and always remember it.) John.17:24-26.

So today I encourage you to reflect on these words and let the grace supplied through them arise in you to make all necessary corrections which will empower you to see how greatly this impacts your forward movement. This work of the Spirit will enable you to be fruitful in  the Kingdom expansion of Jesus on the earth which Jesus saved us to do for His glory. 

Have a glorious day in the Holy Spirit in Jesus name. Amen.

Today I am sharing the first part of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on cultivating  more of His character and fruit in our lives.

The Holy Spirit talked to me this morning in my communion time about cultivating more of His Character and fruit in our lives. He reminded me that we are new creations in Christ and the old things have passed away. 2 Corinthians.5:17. They are totally gone, never to be revisited. (Please pause and meditate on this thought.)

All things are new and we are now trees of righteousness that produce fruits of righteousness from the Lord who works in us. We are the planting of the Lord that cannot be removed. Isaiah.61:3. (Rest in this.)

Now because the Lord Himself planted us no one can remove us or His nature from us, that’s why the only way to harm us is to deceive us concerning truth in order to rob us of life.This is because we wilfully offer ourselves as slaves of sin to fulfil the plan of satan rather than God’s intention for us.

The Holy Spirit then spoke further to me from Galatians.5:22 to the end about the fruit of the Spirit and its operation in our lives and why we always need to yield to His fruit rather than our natural nature as our way of dealing which brings life and productivity.

Always remember every Spiritual action brings or produces valuable fruit that lasts and has longevity which gives life.John.6:63.

He pointed out to me that the Holy Spirit many times has to keep us in certain difficult situations so we can develop the fruits of Himself in us. Keep this truth in the centre of your heart.

The fruit of long suffering can only be developed in situations that are offensive and difficult to us which annoy and frustrate us. Difficult situations that push us to act by retaliating angrily at first, until we are able to find peace in them to the point where they no longer determine the way, we respond.

Thus the love of God can flow out of us regardless of what happens to irritate and make us angry, because the person close to us keeps on repeating the same offense against us and refuses to change. 

Until we reach the point where we hate their callousness because they are not supporting or helping us after so many years of constant repetition of the same corrections time and time again.

Well for longsuffering to be developed in us we need to make the change ourselves so our character reflects the Lord not ourselves. (Take time to let this truth sink in and make the necessary corrections applicable to you through repentance to change this mindset.)

The Holy Spirit says to you this day. No matter the present natural picture confronting you concerning the word the Lord  has spoken to you. Don’t let any contrary picture or situation that seems to confirm that what the Lord said will not happen capture your mind contrary to what the Holy Spirit has said about the matter. 2Corinthians.10:4-6.

Your final witness in any and every situation no matter how it looks must always be what God said about it. The Holy Spirit reminded me that once He has spoken the matter is settled and nothing on earth can change that fact. It is our responsibility to trust the instincts of the Holy Spirit more than what appears before us threatening to dazzle our eyes and lead us astray. The word of the Lord that alone shall stand. 1 John.2:17.

The Holy Spirit as usual reminded me of various situations that have happened in our lives where everything was speaking of loss, defeat and no way forward how He the Holy Spirit gave me a word of triumph so contrary to the present circumstances. The whole financial situation turned out just as the Holy Spirit had spoken. I remember that day vividly because we had a dire financial need which always brings pressure and I had checked the account and there was nothing there.

 Then the Holy Spirit said to me as I walked away from the cash point thinking what do I do now? The Holy Spirit said you will be handing out £50 notes like they mean nothing to you. That word came with such peace to me that the worry of that moment evaporated and I knew even though there was no money in the account that giving away £50 notes was what my status was giving to others from abundance though in lack.

Well that day I got £20 from the cash point that came out for me, a miracle manna from the Lord from the cash point that sorted that day’s need, it has never happened again, but more importantly that word came to pass and I was handing over £50 pound notes just as the Holy Spirit said to people in need within a year of that event and glorified His name as the Holy Spirit reminded me of that word while that new stage of giving began happening and the money was there to obey the instruction.

Take no notice of the contrary circumstances that seek to exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. Keep your eyes firmly on what the Lord said and thank Him that He never fails anyone who trusts Him and you will not be the first victim of defeat for Him. Numbers.23:19.

The Holy Spirit always works with us to broaden our faith so we don’t get stagnant and begin to regress, but allows challenges to our belief to position us into greater victories and stories of triumph that we can use to encourage and build up those behind us who will face similar situations. He empowers us to have just the right word necessary to lift them up at the time it is required and that witness is so very rewarding and stimulating to go for greater works in the Lord. John.6:5-9.

We must always be growing stronger and mightier in the things of the Holy Spirit and many times He will position even the wicked in our paths so we can witness the might of His hand working on our behalf. Romans.9:17 reads these words: For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.”

I hardened his heart so that I could do those miracles in the hands of Moses including killing every first born of every human, animal in all Egypt in one night, just think how awesome that is.

God did not miss a single one, no wonder Rahab said after forty years in Jericho when I heard what your God did to pharaoh I decided when He comes to take our land I will help his people and will find a new life in His Kingdom which she went on to have and that testimony stands as witness today of the faithfulness of God. Hebrews.11:30 & 31.

So today stop feeling sorry for yourself and take back the word the Holy Spirit spoke to you and say boldly: It is surely going to happen for me and things are going to turn around according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing will I be ashamed.Romans.8:28. 

The word I have from the Lord will defeat this last ditch attempt of the enemy to derail me from truth and set me on the path of the greatest victory I have ever experienced with me shouting and dancing with joy that I got just what I wanted from the Lord.

Your story will become: I am living in reality as the manifestation of the miraculous becomes a daily occurrence in your life. As it  happens let me know by sharing the testimony of this wonderful triumph from the Lord which shall surely happen in Jesus  name. Amen.

Today I share the conclusion to my communion time which should be a true blessing to your walk with the Lord by empowering you with the tools of the Spirit to bring you into triumph in Jesus Name. Amen.

I recall times when I would think of hurts that had been done to me years before and they would just seem to come up at the oddest of times using the deception that the Holy Spirit is bringing to my remembrance all things and the whole incident would play out again and I would feel tempted to touch it.

Fortunately the Holy Spirit would gently say that won’t help anything because that’s not me reminding you, but this will cost you a season of lost time and energy so throw it off and once rebuked it would fade away as the nothing it is which was intended to rob me if I bought into it and made it a priority to follow and meditate on. John.16:13.

No matter what people had done to hurt me in the past how was that going to help me help others or make me in anyway better because it only sought to rake up in me bitterness, anger and the desire to revenge, speak evil against the persons who are no longer in my radar of life and cannot contribute anything to hurt or aid me. 2 Corinthians.5:17. 

Those situations the Holy Spirit reminded me were gone for good and need not be my focus or driving force going forward but pressing forward to meeting a new sphere of people who love and cherish the Lord. Those who would follow Him fully is what I needed to go after fully and experience the joys of salvation and deliverance that lay ahead of me which would bring glory to the name of the Lord. Acts.16:36-41.

I am not talking about going back to those people by trying to make up with them. I was saying get over them and pursue the plan of the Lord for your good that brings you to an expected end of glory all around you. Philippians.1:12-14.

You must know by now that satan knows the hearts of men and uses our love for deception to twist things said so we never benefit from the truth. Jeremiah.17:9.

Always ask yourself why do I always seem to fall for the lie rather than fall into truth?

We have to with bold tenacity go after truth and fight to hold on to it but we simply just fall into the laps of deception or lies not even trying.

Speak to the Holy Spirit about that phenomena in your life and ask Him to help you stop falling for deception by taking a hold of truth and refusing to move from truth regardless of the temptations to surrender.You will be amazed to see and observe how many changes in your walk with the Lord will become prevalent.

My encouragement to you is to push towards your future, learn the lessons from the past and use them as spiritual energy to propel you forward in the Lord who knows all things and will always lead you to profit. Isaiah.48:17.

Gain vision and sight from the Holy Spirit by your surrender to let Him propel you to victory in the Awesome plan of good works Jesus has prepared for you to walk in which will glorify His wonderful name. Ephesians.2:10.

Have a resounding day of victory and triumph in Jesus name. Amen.

Today I am sharing a portion of my communion time with the Holy Spirit which I will conclude tomorrow. May these words equip you with the necessary grace to override the mistakes of the past and go into your future completely guilt free knowing you have been justified by the blood of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit wants me to deal with the questions regarding what past mistakes really benefit us and how not to give credit to those situations because one felt they made us better and more spiritually alert.

First of all the Holy Spirit talked about not dwelling in or living in the past and to put a stop to that way of processing because it amounts to driving forward while looking backwards.

Where you live and what you dwell on are completely different from using an experience to navigate correctly from a mistake.

Of course we are to learn from the past but we are not to live in the trauma of the past and make it our place of abode.

If you always focus on your mistakes you will keep repeating them because you have not changed your posture, you just keep doing the same thing and nothing will shift or change and you still remain stunted.

You need to let go of the pain and trauma then find a new way of walking forward which is what the Holy Spirit will help you find. Hebrews.12:15.

If the Apostle Paul kept looking at how Stephen died and how all the Christians he killed and hurt felt all day long he would never have written any letter to encourage us to live for God.

He certainly would not have any revelation from the Lord to share because he could not look up and see the light because all he meditated on was those past hurts and the anguish of the men He hurt.

However Paul put those sins behind him through repentance and allowed the Lord to show him His mercy and compassion and out of those gave him messages of deliverance and help for even us today that enables us to navigate through situations that happen in our lives. Philippians.3:13 & 14.

My point is that in the Holy Spirit when we allow the past to haunt us, by controlling our actions and responses means God is unable to use and work with us because we are unable to change making it impossible for even the Lord to change our perspective and ultimate action which results in us remaining dead in our trespasses.

The Lord always offers us the way forward with a thought to make us change direction from a way that is hurting us and making us stagnant. Isaiah.55:7 & 8.

The Holy Spirit is always in motion doing and accomplishing the will of Jesus and we need to get onboard with Him where He is leading and guiding the Kingdom mandate. John.16:14 & 15.

The Holy Spirit wants us to focus on and look at what lies before us and take our eyes off the past. Let’s look at what the Apostle Paul said concerning this area.

In Philippians.3: 13 & 14 we read these words :Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Well the Apostle Paul certainly had a bad enough past of things done against God’s special servants including Stephen in Acts.6:57-60 to keep his memory fresh if he chose to. On how evil his past actions were?

Well if he kept those memories at the forefront of his mind he could never progress in his relationship with the Lord because he was instrumental in bringing down God’s general. For his past sins God cannot possibly use him to gain much more territory for His name sake.

Did the Lord want him to be paralysed in a state of I cannot forget what happened while remaining unfruitful and affecting nothing? Certainly not.

In like manner concerning you stop acting like a nuisance and impediment in the Kingdom always looking at the past rather than moving forward as an asset that the Lord can create beautiful ornaments from. To impact the lives of people needing to come out of places of bondage and oppression you have experienced and can provide them with the spiritual tools for their deliverance.

So today wake up out of holding on to the past and let it go.

FORGET the PAST and press into the future ahead of you.

This is the greatest hour of your existence set by the Lord before you so do not let it pass you by. Luke.9:62.

Embrace the future as you let go eternally of the past in Jesus name and just watch how things will fall into place on your behalf. It will amaze you how fruitful and productive your life will become in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit says today that we need to set our gaze fully on the path He Jesus has set before us. Now He pointed out to me how we ought to gaze continually at something with the intent and purpose of taking note of every movement and observing any change that happens. Revelation.4:6-11.

The intent is to record all changes or disturbances that occur, in order that we do not miss even the slightest movement which can give additional insight or knowledge. The Holy Spirit pointed out that this is the level of attention we need to give to the things He speaks to us.

We need to develop a mindset that doesn’t take the words He speaks lightly by acting presumptuously assuming we have all the knowledge necessary once we hear a word. John.5:30.

We need He pointed out to focus our attention with fixed purpose as Jesus did at the garden of Gethsemane before going ahead and walking the path of the cross for us. Luke.22:39-46.

The writer of Hebrews pointed out in Hebrews.12:2 & 3.that Jesus looked at the joy set before Him not the side show of the pain, shame and sorrow. His gaze was completely on the path the Father had prepared for Him and there was no turning from it.

The Holy Spirit said that’s what we need to continue doing daily to build our walk with Him to ensure we will not come off the path because of side shows that look interesting and lucrative. Ephesians.2:10.

Looking straight ahead and not allowing life’s distractions which He pointed out will always be there. 1 John.2:15-17. We need to be able to navigate life in spite of them and zero in on the Lord’s path for our lives.

Doing Him and fulfilling His pleasure is more valuable than any side show satan can muster to distract us and we need to recognise this by making our adjustments to line up with God. More and More He pointed out we are going to need to develop our gazing on Him.

That means we see nothing but His will and plan and live in that zone of life free of the enemy and the ups and downs of misses and partial victories. Ephesians.2:7.

We need to want to inherit the full prize and not be willing to settle for a partial relief of victory that keeps us running circles of pain, trauma and small blessings of relief. Ephesians.1:13 & 14.

I encourage you today to take the high road and set your gaze upon the path the Lord has prepared for you. Purposefully ignore all the life distractions that are vying for your attention. Mark.4:16-19.

Then watch all those seemingly great ideas wither before you and become nothing as you march in the triumphant path of the Lord that brings you rich fulfilment in all things which makes and keeps you whole in Jesus Name. Amen.
