Today I want to share with you something the Holy Spirit showed me many years ago about prayer and walking in the Spirit from Acts.21:8-11. The moving of the Holy Spirit is caught not taught. In other words it is practically worked out, not theoretical. It will really change things in your life including the way you process information.

You will go on to experience being taught things we as followers of Jesus must cherish and develop in order to have longevity in our Christian walk.

Now let me first of all introduce you to Philip the deacon from Acts.6:5. He comes into the picture when a crisis arises and the Apostles decide they cannot afford to leave their prayer time to solve food issues. Philip is selected as part of the team of seven men appointed to take care of this problem that has arisen.

It is certainly a very good thing to look at the requirements the Apostles give to choose who is fit for this task.Acts.6:3. Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; 4 but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

This criteria the apostles demanded became a very salient lesson to me when I realized that the Apostles did not ask for all those who had expertise in catering and food production to appoint them, because they would be conversant with dealing with these kinds of matters and issues with food and people.

They wanted men trained in the Holy Spirit to use Godly wisdom and understanding to stop this whole issue which was seeking to invade the unity in the Holy Spirit the body of believers was experiencing.

I want us to look primarily at the person of Philip who had no title or position of preeminence in the Church because this often represents most of us who through our relationship with the Holy Spirit get an opportunity when a crisis arises to be called upon for a God solution.

This is why I say it is so important to see the progression in the life of Philip starting here and where the Holy Spirit has him positioned years after because of his commitment to being full of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians.5:18.

You will see no politicking and foul play in the life of Philip but a continuous communion and fellowship with the Holy Spirit which results in him being selected for solving God issues and bringing the miraculous into play in the Kingdom of Jesus. The peace of God always prevails in an environment where the Holy Spirit rules.

Always endeavour to seek to be the candidate chosen by the Holy Spirit for God’s jobs to carry out on the Lord’s behalf. Do whatever you need to do to always be filled and full of the Holy Spirit and no one will ever be able to stop what God has purposed for you to do on earth. Let’s go on and dive further into the working of the Holy Spirit in the life of Philip. This issue of food distribution is solved through the intervention of the Holy Spirit and Philip is a part of that team.

We next find Philip mentioned in Acts.8:4-8 which reads 4 Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the word. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. 6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city.

Philip comes back on the scene after the Kingdom believers are scattered and there are problems and difficulties because no one seems to know what to do after the scattering takes place. However Philip who we now know only operates on the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit launches a Kingdom campaign into Samaria on his own and has phenomenal success as this scripture points out.

We know for a fact that he heard from the Holy Spirit about this mission because in John’s gospel chapter.4:34-38 we read these words from Jesus in Samaria: Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’?

Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! 36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not laboured; others have laboured, and you have entered into their labours.”

Philip you would notice was not present at that moment but the same Holy Spirit who spoke through Jesus was and he brought that which Jesus had spoken to Philip to be the vessel used to bring to pass the salvation of souls in Samaria and give Jesus His reward for those wonderful sheep Jesus had said were on the verge of being grafted into the Kingdom.

It is odd that the Apostles though present at the time when Jesus spoke had made no plans to secure Samaria though Jesus had clearly spoken of the imminence of the harvest of Samaria.

Well the Holy Spirit was going to use Philip because he was ready and willing to follow the Holy Spirit wherever He guided him to go and reap the harvest for the Kingdom. This is the willingness the Holy Spirit wants us to have so He can accomplish God’s plans speedily through our prompt obedience.

Just take a few moments to selah on this reality and ask the Lord how many times you have been slow to take the action the Holy Spirit required of you to take harvests for the Kingdom. Repent and turn from that period of disobedience and commit your heart to following fully every instruction the Holy Spirit gives you so you can bring Jesus the harvests due Him of men turning to serve Him.

You will say this is so impressive how Philip walks with the Holy Spirit but there is more to this ability he walks in which I am going to share. Philip also because He is focused on being full of the Holy Spirit is also consistently being emptied of self.

Therefore for that reason he is not so enamoured by the results in Samaria that he decides to start his Church there and milk all the attention and position of notoriety he receives. To then pursue building up his reputation as a great Evangelist who holds large crusades.

What we see is Philip under the guidance of the Holy Spirit handing over the reins of this campaign to the Apostles who come to see how greatly the Lord has moved and fulfilled what Jesus had spoken to them in John.4. Philip then goes instantly again on the leading of the Holy Spirit to a desert area with no clear indication of what this new mission would entail. Acts.8:26-30

Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is ]desert. 27 So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, 28 was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.”

30 So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?

You will notice that once Philip moves on the word to go towards the desert the Mission becomes clearer and Philip has a conversation with the Ethiopian eunuch in his carriage as he is returning to Ethiopia have taken this time to seek the Lord and his answer was with Philip which was about to happen.

My dearest brethren let us be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and His moving so we are ever present to bring God’s answer on time to peoples prayers. Philip was so much on time that as the Eunuch asked the question as he read the scripture from Isaiah, Philip was available to give him the answer from the Lord instantly. Just imagine what that did for the Eunuch trust in the Lord he had chosen to follow.

Philip then baptized him and he returns to Ethiopia in the joy of the Holy Spirit with a new relationship with the Lord which could now grow and bring forth revival into Africa and spread the Kingdom into all the world as Jesus had declared would happen. Just take some time and meditate on Acts.8:31-39.

You will be gloriously changed as you ask the Holy Spirit to work that level of spiritual accuracy in your life and make you a candidate for the miraculous of the Holy Spirit being manifested through you as it was in Philip’s life.

This reality of walking in the Holy Spirit’s glory zone comes from continuous communion time and conversation with the Holy Spirit about Jesus’s program and plan for each day in the Kingdom process. We always want to make sure we are in step with the Holy Spirit and not lagging behind sorting out our unwillingness to just trust and obey His leading and guidance.

This study on the Holy Spirit in the life of Philip continues on as the Ethiopian Eunuch comes out of the water filled with joy. Philip is then transported to his next mission ground by the Holy Spirit and we find him again accomplishing some ministry work for Jesus in another area. Acts.8:39 & 40.

I asked the Holy Spirit when He revealed this truth to me of Philip’s surrender to Him and ability to walk the paths of the Lord that I would be granted grace to experience this level of union with the Holy Spirit and always be found on the cutting edge of anything the Lord is doing. I thank the Lord that He has granted me this grace, to experience the working of the Holy Spirit.

However no matter what I have received and experienced, I press on further for a deeper revelation of the knowledge of God and more miraculous manifestations of the Holy Spirit. This is to make men marvel at the absolute Might, Power and supremacy of the Person of Jesus and turn from evil to serve Him.

I can now conclude this discourse focusing on the life of Philip as recorded in Acts.21:8-11 where we met him again years on and he is still in close communion with the Holy Spirit and now has his four virgin daughters who prophesied all day and kept full of the Holy Spirit. Agabus the Prophet loved visiting his home because the Presence of the Lord saturated that home. Where people honor the Holy Spirit there is always a greater measure of Power released.

Philip trained his daughters to love communion with the Holy Spirit and the result is the prophecies of the Lord manifesting daily in that home. Philip’s home had more of the Holy Spirit working there than the Church which started in Jerusalem which had become a monument.

The whole interest of that family was God totally centred and God surely blessed and multiplied out His abundant goodness in their lives. As the Holy Spirit revealed this scripture to me it became so clear why Philip had such precise direction in the Holy Spirit because his daughters and himself spent all day seeking the will of the Lord and executed obedience promptly so there were no gaps or laps in their results due to human failure.

This is the place I believe the Holy Spirit wants us walking over years without any drop in our spiritual intensity so the Kingdom of Jesus is not hindered from manifesting on earth.

I pray today that as you have become privy to this important revelation of the progression in the Holy Spirit you will wholeheartedly embrace the grace supplied through these words and embrace the necessary changes you will need to make, to be in this position spiritually to experience these kinds of astounding miracles and God harvests in such unique ways that startle Nations. Thus bringing God’s ancient plans into reality in the eyes of men faithfully and truly.

Start by daily giving the Holy Spirit more time and watch how your life will be promoted in the realm of the Spirit which will manifest in signs, wonders and miracles to glorify the name of Jesus. Position yourself to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit who will guide you into all truth.

Then He will begin to reveal to you events of the future and how to navigate difficulties so you are never caught in the schemes satan raises against you. You will begin to see all enemy attacks melt like wax at the Presence of the Lord exuding from your union with the Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit today I ask you in Jesus name to create a new walk in the life of those who choose to follow this path of communion with you and cause them to experience the true reality of all Jesus wants for their lives to manifest.

Give them a new sense of accomplishment as you guide and lead them to accomplish things that would take fifty years to manifest to be done in weeks so they come into the reality of just how great the resurrected Jesus really is and how He sees them as His co-heirs of all things. Grant this prayer I declare in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants me this morning to share with you where the true source of power that we need to drink from in order for the word to be made manifest in our lives can be found. I realized quickly that once you know the source from where you can go and drink from you have the advantage. This is because you now have constant access to go there with freedom and partake of as much supply as you want and be filled with that refreshing water of life.

In John.7:37-39 we read these words : On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Jesus points out a truth and invites us to come drink of the water He has available for us which He goes on to point out will become in our hearts rivers of living water that flow out from us.

It is clear from this statement that there is a source of water from which we as followers of Jesus can drink from when we are thirsty which becomes rivers of water in us. This statement we are told He spoke about the Holy Spirit whom those who believed would receive.

This indicates that as Jesus spoke out this revelation it was not completed as yet and would be revealed when the Holy Spirit is revealed and manifested on earth. This happened on the day of Pentecost. Acts.2:1-4.

Now in the book of Revelation which reveals to us who Jesus is now and His position in glory we are told these words in Revelation.4:6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. There is a water of life before the throne of God from which we drink which proceeds directly from the Lord.

We are permitted to drink freely from it and should ensure we are full of this water of life. This is the water of the Holy Spirit which we will now see that each time Jesus speaks from Heaven is what His voice is clothed in and reference is made to that in the book of revelation.

In Revelation.1:15b His voice was the sound of many waters;. Revelation.19:5 & 6 Then a voice came from the throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!”6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns.

Revelation.22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. Revelation.22:17 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

Now this is no coincidence that every time the voice of Jesus speaks from heaven it is as the sound of many waters loaded with the Holy Spirit. This reality of the Spirit is extremely powerful and reaches into everything and since this water proceeds from the throne of God and we have access to it, we also need to be full of that heavenly water in order to effect things on earth through the Holy Spirit.

I know for myself that once I was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in tongues a new river of the water of life began following through me and this has never ceased as I continually come to the water and drink of the wisdom, knowledge, counsel and understanding that flows from the throne of God for my benefit and that of so many other Nations and Peoples.

When this revelation first came to me it opened my eyes to the reality of heaven and the words of Jesus which are truth and can be verified by us as we see that reality of heaven through the revelation the Lord gave John. This means we are so much better positioned in our beliefs and our confidence soars which means greater results in our lives and more expansion of the Kingdom.

When I realized that speaking in tongues was words flowing directly from the Throne room of God Most High to me it caused my value for this gift of life to grow. I became more determined to pursue the Lord more diligently and did more daily speaking in tongues as it meant I could get more from the Spirit by thirsting more and drinking more.

I was also more energized to ask the Holy Spirit to interpret to me what I was speaking out. This enabled me to fully benefit from what I prayed out by the unction of the Holy Spirit.

The day I was filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues, I also got the interpretation of the tongues and prophesied all in the same package and understood that the words I received were not proceeding from me but coming from God to me. Hence the Apostle Paul wrote that he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not to man, but to God and declares the mysteries of God which our natural self needs to understand to lay hold of.

In John.12:28-30 we witness this supernatural event of Jesus speaking with the Father: Father, glorify Your name. ”Then a voice came from heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.” 29 Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”

30 Jesus answered and said, “This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.

As you can see from this discourse of Jesus God’s voice was clear to Jesus but some people heard it as thunder and others said an angel spoke to Him but they all did not get what was actually said and needed the interpretation of God’s word because it was spoken for their benefit but they missed it. This is why we need to interpret the tongues of the Holy Spirit because they are a mystery to our natural mind that needs to be unveiled to us.

We need to understand God’s words in our language to enable us to use them, hence an interpretation, which is the reason for this gift of the Holy Spirit to interpret tongues in 1 Corinthians.12:10. Which is to enable us to understand what is proceeding from the Father for our benefit and be able to use it to bring the plan of God to reality on the earth.

I have found by reason of experience that the Holy Spirit provides us with everything we need to know to accomplish the will of God and cause us to triumph in every situation in life.

My heart’s desire for you today is that you learn to walk in all the wisdom, understanding, knowledge and counsel of God which is in the Holy Spirit to enable us to have complete victory and triumph in every situation in life. We are commanded to share and partake in the complete victory Jesus bought and paid for us on cross.

Then through His resurrection to Ascension glory where He sits now in All authority over heaven and earth. To walk in a lack of knowledge of God when the Holy Spirit has so much available for us is an injustice to the price Jesus paid to make it available for our use.

I pray today that as this revelation arises in you, you will use the grace supplied through it to walk in a higher level of insight and triumph over the enemy in every situation so the Lord gets the glory in all things concerning your life.

Therefore make it a priority to speak in tongues as much as you can and drink in the water of the Holy Spirit as He supplies the words which will never run dry.

Then ask Him for interpretation or understanding of what that prayer has done on your behalf or, what insight you have received necessary for you to know exactly how to navigate any situation or, who the Lord wants you to help, aid or assist to come out of a dire situation. The List is endless of what the Holy Spirit is saying at any given time. So press into Him for more.

The Holy Spirit will let you know as you press into getting to understand His ways and patterns for success and a whole supply from rivers of life giving water will be at your disposal to drink from and make available to others in Jesus’ name by your life. Amen.

The Holy Spirit says today consider how much time you are putting into observing what He is saying and doing in your life versus walking in what you believe you know?

It is very easy to fall into a routine of just doing for God because that is what you have been trained to do rather than submitting and yielding to the Holy Spirit to do what He is leading and guiding you to do.

In Joshua.1:1-7 the Lord points out to Joshua all the promises of what will be for Joshua as he takes up the mantle to lead the people after the death of Moses.

They are very impressive, however in verse 8 the Lord points out to Joshua a clear condition on which all the promises will rest which Joshua will need to follow and abide by if he is to experience and enjoy all the blessings the Lord pointed out in verses 1-7 of Joshua.

Today the Holy Spirit wants to show again and bring to your remembrance what your priorities ought to be and how much more attention you need to be putting to the things that matter most rather than the things you believe you need to be doing.

So let’s look at Joshua.1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Now the first commandment here is that the book of the law which in our lives today is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus which makes us free from the law of sin and death.Romans.8:2.This law of the Spirit of life not departing from our mouths, not just our thoughts and our reading over daily.

How much of what Jesus is saying are we echoing out with our mouths in our daily lives about who we are in Him day and night. We need to be doing what the redeemed of the Lord do, that is to continually say so Psalm.107:2.

Secondly, following our saying, confession which is a part of meditating anyway which we should be doing day and night because our saying with our mouths is our confession which brings our deliverance or salvation.

It does not matter how much you believe the Lord in your heart if you do not verbalize that belief with a confession you will remain bound. Romans.10:10 says: For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation..

This confession with your mouth empowers you to observe what the Lord is saying to you through the Holy Spirit in order for you to carry out His instructions. It is after this process that your way will become prosperous and you will begin to find good success in life. You will observe the path in the Spirit to take not the obvious one in the natural, and believe me there is a huge difference.

We cannot jump the process and expect good success to be our reward. Joshua himself many years before this time was a man of faith and when sent on the mission to spy out the land said let us go up at once and take it.

He had faith that sought to take but lacked the voice of the Lord’s leading (the authorship of God leading) and would end up in a ditch because the Lord never guided so it would not be provided.

If this many years on God is commanding him to meditate on His word till he observes to do, what was he going to do those years before to take the land having not taken the time to meditate and know what the Lord was saying. We need to be wise and not foolish in acting out in presumption on what we think God wants rather than waiting till He tells us what He wants done.

As Moses always said I am not moving till the Lord moves then I will follow Him and we will have triumphant results.

I believe the Holy Spirit wants you positioned in a place where you will have good success because you focus on Him and have His direction and guidance in moving forward. As it says of David and David inquired of the Lord what to do and each time the Lord showed him what to do he had good success.

May you today find grace (supernatural God ability) in the Holy Spirit to give time to meditate on the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus and observe from the Lord’s perspective what you ought to do.

Then once you have the clarity go forth in the direction of the Holy Spirit rather than your opinion of the situation. Always remember God’s thoughts and ways are much higher than yours and you need to yield to His in order to move forward. Isaiah.55:8 & 9.

May grace be imparted to you today to hold back from premature action. Take time to meditate and observe the moving of the Holy Spirit. As you find the path and course He is leading, guiding you to. Then walk confidently into the triumphant, victorious ventures which will serve as a platform of God results in your life in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit says today that through the miracles you are about to experience will be enclosed the knowledge of the workings of the Lord that will be made clear to you. You will then begin to understand and have a working platform from which you can share all the things you have learnt from a personal experience in the ways the Lord has shown and made clear to you.

These paths of life which the Lord has revealed to you will become available to others to partake of and find the same life in the Spirit which you have discovered. You will be responsible for sharing these truths you will learn with others.

The miracles will represent the turnarounds of various difficult and complex situations that have baffled you. You will be given the insight to make you aware of the operations of the Holy Spirit in paralyzing the works of the enemy set to destroy and muddy your path of life.

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me from Psalm.92:5 & 6 which reads what mighty miracles and your power at work—just to name a few! Depths of purpose and layers of meaning saturate everything you do. 6 Such amazing mysteries are found within every miracle that nearly everyone seems to miss. Those with no discernment can never really discover the deep and glorious secrets hidden in your ways.

The Holy Spirit wants you to begin to understand the depths of purpose that are stored up in what the Lord does to make His plans known through the things He does on your behalf in order that you will fully understand the way He works things out. You will then be able to see His way of processing things that are difficult and impossible to comprehend.Colossians.1:9-14.

The Lord wants you to be walking on a higher level of wisdom and insight that enables you to visualize from God’s vantage point that changes darkness to light and raises death to life. You are being groomed by the Lord to walk in higher realms of glory whereby it is not only about experiencing the miraculous but understanding the process and working of the miracle God has done.

The Lord wants to work with you to think through, and be a part in what actually happens in the manifestation of the desired miraculous outcome the Lord is bringing to fruition on your behalf.

Moses we are told knew the ways of God so could experience them at any time while the Israelites only experienced His acts, remained stubborn and unchanged because they had no understanding of what the Lord intended. They could therefore not walk with the Lord as He wanted for them and became victims of disaster after having experienced His power deliver them from various perils. Psalm.78:10-33.

Well this is your time to walk in the knowledge of how God does things and how you respond in this time will determine how much more you will go on to experience the working of God’s hand through and in you.

The layers of meaning that will be revealed to you will saturate all you do going forward and will make your walk much smoother, much clearer because you will be walking in the shadow of the Almighty surrounded by His glory and Preeminence in all things that pertain to your life and Godliness.

As you take hold of these truths with the grace imparted to you by the Holy Spirit you will walk in a new place of security that overshadows the problems of the last seasons.

You will be so empowered that it makes you able to read and navigate through these distractions of the enemy without the anger and bitterness they used to arouse and awaken in you. You will no longer waste your time, resources and energy on fruitless ventures that wasted resources and produced no fruit.

This new realm of understanding will enable you to scale through obstacles with the ease of the Lord because His way is easy and His burden is light and you will be walking in it as this grace empowers you to now do. It will be as if you are walking above the din of circumstances in the realm of glory where Jesus dwells and there is no fear. John.17:22-24.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him said we are in the preliminary stages of seeing and knowing the realm of what the Father of glory wants us to know and walk in at present.

Although the things we are receiving are mighty and beyond what we have experienced before, we need to be humble and realize there is far more than these things we are receiving. For this reason we need to guard against pride in what we now have. We must of necessity press into what is to come because that is far greater.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that a man’s heart is tested when he is given a measure of influence or notoriety and what he then goes on to do will determine the progress he will make. God tested the heart of Abraham. Genesis.22:1-19. This is not the time to bask in the high level of revelation you are walking in great as it is, but in seeking out more how to steward our relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Then walk in humility with what the Lord wants to reveal further to His Own lovers. This is a prerequisite for the greater unfolding of the fullness of His glory to be manifested at this Auspicious time in the kingdom of God’s glory being made real in the earth for men to see and behold together.

In this season both sinner and saint/ believer and disciple will see the glory of the Lord revealed. Each in direct proportion to their way and pattern of life will be rewarded commensurate with what they have done towards the Lord.

The universal law of the Lord of seedtime and harvest will not cease as long as the earth remains and, will be made real and now harvest time for years of sowing will be brought into manifestation for both the righteous and evil doer, so it is incumbent on us His lovers to keep in humility and close union with the Holy Spirit to ensure we are not robbed of our inheritance that we have labored for over many years.Genesis.8:22.

There is no time to grow weary in well doing but to press more into sowing into righteousness so that the harvests will be overlapping, overflowing and overtaking our lives with the radiance of God’s glory as we walk in full knowledge, insight and understanding of what is happening.

This permitting us to interpret the times accurately by the Spirit of the Lord and be called upon to say what the Lord is speaking over nations and determining the state of affairs according to His will and not the desires of men which bring death and destruction.

Beloved it is time for you to hunker down in the deeper knowledge of the Holy Spirit and keep a close keen ear for where He is leading and being willing to move in the now of the Spirit as Philip was moved in the book of Acts.8:26-40 from an outpouring in Samaria, a mass movement of the Spirit that took a city to a desert to introduce the Kingdom to a eunuch who would carry the kingdom message to Africa.

Then to be prepared again to be transported to another region in the Spirit to manifest the reality of the Kingdom.

This level of yieldedness is what the Lord is seeking for us to be willing to walk in and then press in for more. We are never to rest in what happened and bask in past success but to move into the coming glory. We need to present ourselves ready to flow with the Holy Spirit’ agenda to manifest the Kingdom in all its glory for men to see.

I pray that as you hear these words the Spirit of contrition will overtake your desire and move you to respond with Yes Lord. I am willing to follow your path and move with the Holy Spirit to manifest the full cycle of harvest for the Kingdom.

I choose to be a willing participant and partaker of the divine nature of the Lord in this move of God. Walking in the mountain life that has come to stay. Living out Heaven on earth. Knowing God’s ways and walking in His paths.

Rise up and ascend into this place the Lord has prepared for you and throw off any weight and incumbrance that hindered you moving forward. Move rapidly in the new grace being supplied for this work of the Holy Spirit to be manifested in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning emphasized to me why we need to look to Him for insight and understanding in life and not rely on our own understanding which is limited. Proverbs.3:5 & 6 says Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

The key phrase in this passage is lean not or trust not your own version of the event, but acknowledge that the Lord has a broader view of things that you are unable to see into which shows a completely different viewpoint from your limited scope.

Well today the Holy Spirit wants you to see from the revealed word the viewpoint of the Lord as revealed from the book of Revelation of how God sees and looks at things versus our limitation in sight. You will understand clearly the advantage of God’s sight once you see the truth from this scripture in the book of Revelation.

Jesus always said let him that has eyes to see let him see and he that has ears to hear let him hear what the Spirit is saying which always goes beyond our natural eyes and ears because we all have them to view things in the natural realm.

In Revelation.4:6 it reads Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. Now look at the living creatures and their characteristics: full of eyes plural in front and behind.

They see ahead to lead and guide the way forward but also see behind to cover every possible incident or attack that could be launched from behind while moving forward, all at the same time. We on the other hand can only visualize what we focus on whether ahead or behind at a given point.

We are unable to cover both angles. A very limited scope of view and that is why we cannot lean on our own viewpoint. We desperately need the advantage of the Holy Spirit helping us.

However there is still more to the scope the Lord sees from which I am going to share now. In Revelation.4:8a it says The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. Again the four living creatures were full of eyes this time around and within pointing out they are seeing into everything with multiple eyes all around every situation and within the situation, so no part of anything is missing from their sight.

They have absolutely no blind side which is what we as humans have which hinders and hampers us because we could not see into that area but have to make presumptions on what lay in there. The Lord makes no presumption on facts. He knows the full picture and that’s why we need His input on all things no matter how promising they look from the natural to make the right choice.

When the Holy Spirit first introduced these scriptures to me from Revelation my ability to see things expanded to such a degree that I was seeing things happening in Nations so much so that I was privy to the conversations going on in the President’s house. I had answers to the issues they were facing and the Lord had me pray out the solutions in both Sierra Leone and Botswana.

That is why God says in Jeremiah.29:10 I know the thoughts I think towards you, thoughts of good not evil to give you a hope, a future and an expected end. There is a way that looks/seems right to man or in our sight but the end is destruction. The difference is vast so we need to trust the Holy Spirit all the more.

We do not see the full picture and can therefore be easily deceived and that is why we cannot lean on our own understanding but should trust and rely on the insight of the Holy Spirit.

I remember clearly the day the Holy Spirit revealed this truth to me from the book of Revelation and said this same man John receiving this truth used to lean on the bosom of Jesus. Just imagine he himself is stunned to the point of falling to the ground as a dead man seeing his resurrected Master in His glory. John needed His Master Jesus to pick him up to understand this new realm of glory.

From that day I knew that anything I needed to know in the Spirit, I would receive as I sought the Lord to have the insight of the Holy Spirit. This meant I stopped coming short because of my lack of full insight and I made up my mind to trust the Holy Spirit and His analysis of every situation rather than what it looked like to me.

The Holy Spirit has never been wrong because He sees the complete picture and I choose to believe Him more than my study and knowledge which are limited.

Now the book of Revelation is an unveiling of Jesus and who He is from where He now is seated in glory. Not of who Jesus was on earth in His limitation of a human body. Even John who had experienced Jesus in the earthly realm, when he gets to see Jesus in His brand new revealed state and His position of glory.

John has to adapt and change from his limited perspective of the Jesus he knew and has to embrace the reality of who Jesus glorified is. As he is given permission to see Jesus in His present glorified status. John is startled at who Jesus is in heaven and the Might, splendor, majesty and glory that exudes in Him compared to his experience of Jesus on earth.

I have learnt from experience that each time I spend in the book of Revelation my spiritual eyes open up to new facets of who Jesus is and the greater scope of His authority which makes me more capable to overcome and win more triumphs in situations. This is because I received greater truth revealed to me which Jesus pointed out the Holy Spirit would lead us into: so that we might be free and walk in the power and authority of Jesus.

Today having received these words may the grace to see further and deeper from the Lord’s perspective become your portion and may you become clearer in understanding the will of the Lord for your life and walking in the path He set for you rather than paths you think or have imagined which only bring failure.

I pray today that the inner parts of your heart will open up to insight from the Lord that gives you the whole picture of things rather than little snippets that encourage pride of knowledge which then rob you of God results because you are living on presumption rather than real faith and truth which bring freedom.

Have a wonderful day of exploration and discovery of why you have missed out on so much because you did not see the full picture and watch how the Holy Spirit brings you out and leads you on now forward in victory with full clarity in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants me to share with you a truth about what Jesus said we as His followers have as the advantage in life over those in the world. He wants us to destroy the notion that we as believers are aliens in this world and should be looking to depart from this wicked world and go to heaven.

Jesus wants us to know that we have the advantage on earth, therefore we should live victorious and triumphant over evil. We are the custodians of the earth, not the escapists. We as followers of Jesus are the ones with the authority to determine what happens on the earth. We are not the receivers of the garbage satan wants us in fear to receive and be in oppression to. John.10:10.

Let’s look at what Jesus spoke in Mark.4:11 And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, 12 so that‘, Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand ;Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them.’

” First of all it is the will of Jesus for you to know the things of the Kingdom because He has given us the ability to know. You ask so why don’t we know? If you look further on in verse 14 Jesus asks how it is that you do not understand this parable?

In other words what makes us so dull that we miss what is being said. We need as an absolute necessity to apply ourselves to know and gain the necessary knowledge by asking the Lord to explain to us His workings. Then know them in reality and walk in His ways.

The power to know and knowing are two different things altogether. Having the ability to do something and doing or applying the ability to that thing are very different. An expert is not qualified until he possesses the skill and ability to do so by reason of experience and not theory.

We must put action into getting to know the mystery of the Kingdom. It is no use saying I know or have the ability to know. Then do nothing with it.

We need to give attention to getting to know the Kingdom by studying all that the King Jesus says and understanding what He wants. Then applying the wisdom of how things operate from His viewpoint.Ephesians.1:17-23.

A clear example of this would be. What if Peter had not noticed that Jesus answered the fig tree in Mark.11. Would Peter then have gone on to notice and observe the uprooting of the tree by the next day. It was Peter’s observation of what Jesus said that enabled him to ask the right question.

This action on Peter’s part stirred up Jesus to give this comprehensive lesson on the power of faith in the heart of the followers of Jesus to command mountains to move and they have to obey our voice.

If Peter just let that experience pass by and did not engage to know the truth. It is clear Jesus was not going to volunteer that explanation. We have to ask the questions of the Lord to receive answers.Luke.11:10.

Peter agreed to follow Jesus and it was now his responsibility to ask the relevant questions on things that happened so he could understand and walk in them just as Jesus did.

The disciples also noticed from experience of Jesus’s daily pattern that Jesus prayed often. Jesus made it a priority to find deserted places to go and pray. Thus in view of the fact that Jesus had remarkable answers after he came from prayer they concluded that there is a direct correlation between his prayer and the miracles Jesus performed. So based on that reality they observed they asked the right question of Jesus, which is to teach us how to pray?

Rather than how to heal men or cast out demons from people because it appeared that prayer covered all things. By working through this observation of reality in the life of Jesus they came to the conclusion that once you have spoken and communicated with the Lord in prayer great things would happen. Which was always the case. Then since Jesus made it His practice then we of necessity must follow suit to have identical results. See Acts.6:2 & 4.

Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

Not we will give ourselves to understanding demons and their operations but to talking with God continually. The result being that we will always have success just as our master Jesus had. That is exactly what happened: they applied their ability to know the things of the Kingdom by seeking the King Jesus and obeying what He spoke through the Holy Spirit to them and triumphed in every situation.

This is exactly what the Holy Spirit wants you to experience. So go ahead and apply yourself by seeking in prayer what Jesus has made ready for you to do, by hearing it, understanding it. Then take the necessary action the Holy Spirit says and have the conclusion through the manifestation of the miracle by the power of the Holy Spirit which brings glory to the name and Kingdom of Jesus.

Remember it is your God given right to know the things of the Kingdom. You have no right to be ignorant of the devices of the enemy to rob you of the knowledge of God. This is why satan comes with deception to steal, kill and destroy your knowledge of God.

Remember it is the Lord that said the knowledge of the glory of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk.2:14. You should be so loaded with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord in manifestation that all we see is the glory of the Lord not our weakness, failures and compromise.

I pray today that these words would ignite in you a new passion and overwhelming desire for more of the Holy Spirit. Let the grace supplied abound towards you to go in pursuit to know more concerning the operations of the Holy Spirit. Then let the result be that the Kingdom of Jesus will be seen more and more through your life as you walk in more understanding and knowledge of the work of the Lord which is your mission on earth.

To serve the purpose of Jesus on earth and glorify His Name. Have a triumphant day in the fullness of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants you to know today just how valuable you are to the Father of lights in whom there is no variation and shadow of turning. You must awaken to who God wants you to be and has created you to be for His glory.

“You are no longer a sinner saved by grace but you are the son/daughter of your Father of glory. You were created for glory not shame or disgrace. You were created to reflect who God is to nations of people and demonstrate His power for all to see and know who God is. The father of glory.”

“This is your true position in God seated with Christ in heavenly places filled and blessed with every spiritual blessing (empowerment to prosper in all things.)” Ephesians.1:3.

“Let this reality flood your whole being today and clean out all lies and debris that you have allowed to poison your belief system of your position in God.”

You have wondered why so many attacks and assaults have been launched against you as you are not very relevant or important in the scope of things on earth. Well wake up to reality no one launches nuclear weapons against a small insignificant village they want to destroy.

If heavy duty equipment is being launched against you, then know for certain that the enemy knows that what is with you is far greater than you see and know. He is so convinced about God’s plan for you and is taking no chances on you winning by employing his strongest weapons to intimidate you to surrender and cave in under immense pressure so that what God intended and purposed for you will not become your reality.

You therefore must arise and shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon your life. Isaiah.60:1. Walk in the reality of who God has created you to be and destroy the works of the devil. Let him be the one to flee, not you.

You cannot afford to sit there saying I am nothing when you need to be arising, saying and doing what the Lord ordained for you to do in this time which is to reflect Jesus’s glory on the earth.

The Holy Spirit emphasizes to you that you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar person, called to proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light, who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. 1 Peter.2:9 & 10. This is who you are regardless of what you think, feel or presume or believe.

You must change your mind and line up with the truth of who God says that you are because that is your identity.

“What the Father says you are is your true identity. Never forget that reality.”Luke.3:22.

When the Lord approached Gideon in the book of Judges.6:12 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!” Now the reality was that Gideon was in fear threshing wheat in a wine press but the Lord does not address that Gideon, infused with lies, but the one He has chosen and appointed to bring down Midian.

Mighty man of valor Gideon thought! What have I done or am I doing that qualifies me to be called that, the Lord is not with me and we are nothing but slaves under tyrants. If God was really here with us there would be proof of that. We need to see miracles as proof of God being all around us.

God spoke into Gideon who he was from the Lord’s perspective and not the failures of the past, because from that day onwards the name Gideon was associated with victory after victory and triumph galore. Gideon did go on to bring down Midian as one man and became a great ambassador for the kingdom of God. Gideon became a mighty force to be reckoned with in Israel through miraculous acts God did through his hands.

Well in like manner this morning the Lord is awakening you to who you are in Him and the plan He has to use you to establish for Him on earth and as Gideon you need to change and accept who God says you are.

Drop and throw down the lies of failure and nothingness of person, then shine out what God has intended and purposed for you to do and get busy doing so. Then watch lives change and come into the radiance of who God really is and manifest His glory on earth for men to see and be transformed into vessels of glory.

Throw off the shackles of defeat and clothes of shame just as blind Bartimaeus did to approach Jesus with a fresh view of who He says you are. Not the opinions of men and what circumstances or situations say you are a failure.

You are a chosen one and you will reflect and demonstrate the praises of Him who has called you out from darkness into marvelous light that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

Let these words infuse you with the grace embedded in them to get up and start walking in this reality and bring glory to your Father in heaven through and by the power of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He spoke to me concerning how we are using the gifts and inheritance that has been provided for us by the Holy Spirit. As this will determine our success and failure in most life situations. He pointed out to me that as an example when Jude speaks at the end of his letter of us building ourselves up upon our most holy faith by praying in the Spirit.

Are we doing exactly that or are we just thankful for being able to pray in the spirit but not doing the building up? Our ability to pray in the Spirit is one thing but our building ourselves up is a completely different exercise.

The Holy Spirit pointed out that we can have all the gym equipment at our disposal but it is the using of the equipment that will build our muscles up and give us a well trimmed body. In like manner the Holy Spirit emphasized to me that our effective daily use of praying in the Holy Spirit is what will build our spirits up on our most holy faith.

In John.7:37 & 38 we read these words spoken by Jesus. On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” The Holy Spirit said to me how much are we allowing the rivers of living water to flow out of our hearts to reach others and provide the necessary water to quench their thirst.

Are we living full of the Spirit with the banks of our rivers overflowing with water or are there shortages of water in our hearts? Are we thirsty enough to come daily to the rivers of water ourselves to drink more water of the Spirit so our rivers are overflowing with the water of the Holy Spirit in our lives to be made available for others to partake of.

I have found from experience with the Holy Spirit for over 34 years that the things Jesus speaks are always true and can be validated all through scripture. The clear revelation of the truth and its actuality being revealed and confirmed to us is so we can be confident in what we trust and believe in.

This is why the Apostle Paul could boldly say in 2 Timothy.1:12 2 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day. The things of the Spirit are true and real, not fables and fancy theories that have no basis. They work as we work them in accordance with the prescribed pattern the Holy Spirit ordained.

Now let me expatiate more on praying in the Holy Spirit. Remember Jesus spoke of this in John.7:37.

Let me point out to you what the Lord then revealed to John in the book of Revelation of where that water flows from that we are to drink from. The source of the water Jesus spoke of in John.7:37. In Revelation.1:15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; and Revelation.4:6 6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.

Revelation.7:17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” Revelation.14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. Revelation.22:1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

You will notice that every time a voice is heard from heaven it is as the sound of many waters which proceeds from the throne of God and the Lamb Jesus. So when Jesus speaks to us His followers that out of our hearts should flow rivers of living water we are also to be speaking from those same rivers that bring life to every situation from the heavenly realm to the earth.

This is why Jude concluded his letter by saying we should be building ourselves up on our most holy faith by praying in the Spirit. We are responsible for building ourselves up by doing the praying. God provides the water but we need to drink it and then be filled with it by us doing the praying. The Lord will not pray for us. We need to do that by using what He has given us effectively and that will produce us the results.

I recall when I had been praying in the spirit over an extended period of time daily the Holy Spirit gave me a vision of my water from a singular river flow till it came into an oasis of so much water flowing and cascading over and over from so many directions that astounded me and from that time on I went on to have so many deliverances happen in people’s life that I ministered to and an avalanche of the miraculous happen over that season of time.

We need to be ready to use what the Lord has given us, not just watch it and wonder why we have it. We must utilize the equipment to ensure we are built up in the Holy Spirit and can be found available for every good work the Lord wants to do on earth. We need to remain prepared and be ready for service at any time the Master needs us.

My prayer for you today is that as you hear these words your hearts will be stirred up back to action and let your first love when you first started praying in the Spirit return. Then go on to have a rekindling awakening of that experience as you find grace supplied in these words to come into a deeper level and intensity in your using this equipment the Holy Spirit provides you to achieve and accomplish the will of the Lord for your life.

Let your spirit be built up once again, remain and continue in that state of being built up daily so the Holy Spirit is able to work with you to achieve the miraculous through your life and bring you into rich fulfilment in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He pointed out to me that we need to stop walking at cross purposes with Him in matters of the Spirit. We always have a tendency to move situations to the future rather than deal with them in the now because that does not demand anything from us. We need to stop fleeing from taking the necessary uncomfortable step now which leads to the miracle.

The Holy Spirit however wants us to place a demand on the God of the now rather later which never seems to come once we choose to wait for later. In the scripture the Holy Spirit brought to my heart this morning to meditate on and expect to walk in today I will share some of the things the Holy Spirit revealed to me that should free you from putting off for later what God wants to do in the now of your life. The Lord really wants to meet our needs now and solve issues now if only we will let Him.

In John.11:21-26 we read this discourse between Jesus and Martha. Take note of how Martha answers Jesus 1 Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”2Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”24 Martha said to Him, “I know that he will 3 rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

Martha firstly uses the excuse of Jesus not arriving on time to have stopped the unfortunate incident of Lazarus dying and blames Jesus for not caring. She offers Jesus no sacrifice of praise with her lips but complains with her lips and does not contemplate what miracle would happen if she just submitted to Jesus’s plan for today.

Even though from experience with Jesus previously she knows better than this, she still blots out her mouth her annoyance at Jesus arriving late . But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You. ”She has the church trained voice to speak words of faith as a cover up for doubt. If you believe that fact Martha then why do you stagger at what Jesus wants to do to prove that fact in your life?

This needs to be a question we all need to ask ourselves when we are faced with a challenge that requires an act of God on our behalf that demands our action and participation in the now. This is because what we choose to believe and do at that moment will determine what happens. I am so happy that Jesus only takes the words of faith we speak and ignores our failures.

He is the High Priest over the confession of our mouths when they line up with His will. Jesus takes the words of faith and goes on to tell her His plan for today which is that your brother will rise again.

Martha again brings the future up by telling Jesus she knows her bible and what future events hold by saying I already know that in the last day we will all be raised up. Well Jesus was not dealing with the last day but with today so why was Martha not cooperating?

She had no faith for today and was about to fall prey to the word of caution to every follower of God: “today when you hear His voice do not harden your heart” as in the day of rebellion when your fathers tempted God. If you harden your heart God can do nothing for you so it is important that we open our hearts to what the Holy Spirit is saying for today and change to line up with Him so we can experience what God wants to do.

Jesus wants to nail her to today and change her expectancy for the now and goes on to tell her these words: “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

You would have thought that after hearing these words Martha would just believe. Why did she not believe Jesus was the resurrection and the life? She was refusing to engage with the now moment of faith though Jesus kept pushing her to take a stand. I am resurrection now so expect to see resurrection manifested today.

Just look at her answer in verse 27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” Jesus was not talking about coming into the world because He was already in the world. Jesus only wanted to prove the reality to her that day that He is the resurrection and the life. However she just kept using her knowledge of future scripture to rob her of the present moment of faith to receive in the now.

I want you to think and ponder on this matter with Martha. Then take a good look at your life and ask yourself how many times have you done exactly what she did here. Evaluate how much you lost out on what God had planned for the day by excusing with scripture, based on future thoughts about what you could have experienced in the now.

Martha fortunately goes on to see the miracle happen because her sister Mary has a different approach to Jesus and Jesus can work with that and accomplish His will though she still butts in again when Jesus orders for the tomb of Lazarus to be opened. Again she opens her mouth and talks about the smell of a dead body. Jesus again has to rebuke her for her to remain in union with Him. Not a good place to be.

Well today the Holy Spirit wants you to look at what happened here with Martha and take care of those patterns in your life that rob you of God obeying in the now. You don’t have a sister who can cover for your faults and make up the hedge for you. So unlike Martha you have missed the opportunities and have gone on to blame the Lord for failing you.

When in fact it was you who stumbled during the process just as Martha did and could not submit to the Holy Spirit’s leading.

Today however is a new day and the Lord through these words wants to give you a fresh start again as you listen to them repent, turn and take fresh action of believing God to work in the now of life as grace is ministered to you to go beyond your doubts and fears to believing and receiving in the now.

May today mark the beginning of a new walk with the Holy Spirit of experiencing God working in the now of your life. Throw out all the excuses you have made to cover your doubts and embrace the faith for now. Your life will dramatically change as you surrender to thus saith the Holy Spirit in Jesus name. Amen.
