This morning in my communion time the Holy Spirit directed me to declare Psalms 144-150 in worship to the Lord. I have come to realize as a pattern that this happens with me on occasions when I have time with the Holy Spirit. I have found from experience that after the declaration of the Psalms, I always experience a new sphere of glory from the Lord resulting in a new and greater impact in my life of the Presence of the Holy Spirit. The word does say that God inhabits the praises of His people. Psalm.22.3.

I recall the time when I was shepherding a group of professionals on a weekly programme and the Holy Spirit directed me to instruct them to declare the psalms daily for a month. It was such a rewarding experience hallmarked with numerous wonderful testimonies that happened in each of their lives after obeying those instructions.

There were several financial breakthroughs and work promotions and rising up in work position status as a result of that daily confession of the Psalms.

This morning was no different as I went to the Psalms from 144-150 the Holy Spirit brought me to a pause as I declared Psalm.145:10-12 from the Passion translation of the bible which reads these words: Everything you have made will praise you, fulfilling its purpose. And all your godly ones will be found bowing before you.11 They will tell the world of the lavish splendor of your kingdom and preach about your limitless power.12 They will demonstrate for all to see your miracles of might and reveal the glorious majesty of your kingdom.

Now let me share with you some of what the Holy Spirit went on to share with me as I declared these words of life. Everything God made has the responsibility to praise the Lord as it fulfills the purpose God intended it to do on the earth.

Remember with the Lord there is always a cause and purpose for everything and the Holy Spirit always announces the purpose before it happens. Jesus spoke of the stones rising up to praise Him as He marched triumphantly into Jerusalem when He was questioned by the Jewish leaders about why He accepted the praises of the people in Matthew.19:40 But He answered and said to them, “I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out.”

Now we should never fail in our responsibility to offer the Lord our sacrifice of praise which is the fruit of our lips continually as we don’t want stones to replace us and gain our due reward. Hebrews.13:15.

Next we as God’s people and followers should be found in a position of bowing to our Master in surrender just as we see happen continually in heaven as John recorded in the book of Revelation of the heavenly elders before the Throne of God.

They cast their crowns before Him in submission and total adulation of His superior position, not flaunt them before Him in pride. Salient lesson for us all to heed. This is our position of surrender the Holy Spirit pointed out to me in reverence to the Awesomeness of the nature and Person of the Lord.

Now the next response after bowing in humility before the Lord is the exalted position that is bestowed upon the recipient who bows in surrender to the Lord for service is that we are then given a responsibility to carry out on the earth.

This responsibility is to be witnesses of the lavish splendor of the kingdom of Jesus to the world by demonstration and preaching about the limitless power of the Lord. Mark.16:17-20.

The Holy Spirit harped on this reality that we need to preach on how great God is and not our weakness or failures to obey Him. This enables men to decide for themselves as they witness the incomparable power of the Lord at work rather than the weakness of man. We must share just how great God is and what He is able to accomplish in the affairs of men.

Certainly not our failures in the process of serving Him. The failure of man is constantly evident in everyday life and what we need to witness is the faithful love and loyalty of an Omnipotent and all powerful God who can accomplish marvels on our behalf.

Just look at verse.12 We are to demonstrate for all to see the miracles of God’s might and thus reveal the glorious majesty of Jesus’s Kingdom here on earth.

As I have been prophesying by the Holy Spirit in my posts we are in the season where we will see the faith of Jesus at work in the life of His followers and lovers by unprecedented miracles, signs and wonders that will startle men at the greatness of who Jesus actually is and the reign of His Kingdom on earth for men to see and turn to Him for refuge and deliverance in life.

We need to be living in a place of total surrender and humility before the Lord so the Holy Spirit can grace us with everything necessary to walk in the place of triumph the Lord has ordained and purposed for us to walk in the now of life.

As I declared these words before the Lord you can now see why I say my sphere of glory arose and became more expansive because this plan had been declared by king David about what the Lord would do with His followers in these latter days that would far outweigh what He had done in the past through His chosen servants.

The Holy Spirit is pointing out that this is not a new plan of the Lord’s but the season of the fulfilling of an ancient plan God always had ready to manifest for the deliverance and saving of men’s souls which He would impart on His lovers and followers to do to demonstrate the knowledge of His glory on the earth as the waters cover the sea.

“The Lord wants men to be overcome, overrun and overshadowed by the might of the Holy Spirit’s power on earth.”

I pray today that as you hear these words your spirits will be quickened to the time and season you are in and take swift action through the grace supplied through these words to reposition yourselves back in full alignment to bowing in humility and seeking with your whole hearts the Lord to be ready to partake of this move of the Holy Spirit.

Repent of every way in which you are coming short and do not fear to confess your weakness to the Lord because He already knows it. It is us that need to acknowledge our shortcomings so the Holy Spirit can free us.

This allows for grace to empower us to be fit and able because it is the power of the Lord at work in us both to will and to do for His good pleasure. May you seek with all your being the Lord and find all the might He has available for you so that your life will be a true representation of His glory on earth for men to see and turn to Him in Jesus name. The result will be an expanding His kingdom on earth of which there is no end in Jesus’ name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He continued a conversation with me on the word consider which He reminded me of yesterday. When the Holy Spirit brings up a word and asks a question about the use of that word it is time to listen and pay attention because one is about to learn a life changing truth that takes you from wondering and contemplating what may happen to assurance and confirmation of things changing and becoming a reality in your life.

Let me now share what the Holy Spirit was bringing to my attention concerning the word consider.

In Luke.12:24 we read these words Jesus says to His disciples: Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds? Jesus does not engage in idle conversation so when He speaks we need to pay close attention because we will receive life if we heed what He says. To consider means to think of especially with regard to taking some action, or to give serious and careful thought to.

Why would Jesus want us to pay close attention to the ravens? Probably because Jesus wants us to recognize that a raven on this earth even though it does not have the capability to sow and therefore reap anything. Though it has no ability to store its harvests safely in a storehouse or barn, the Lord feeds them regardless of their inability to use the law of seedtime and harvest which the Lord said will remain as long as the earth remains. Genesis.8:22. Let this truth overtake your old thoughts on seedtime and harvest.

Jesus also wanted us to know the value of our lives to Him in respect to our mission on the earth. The human soul has tremendous value to the Lord because it is through us that the Lord gets to rule in the affairs of men and establish His Kingdom on earth. A raven can’t preach the good news of Jesus to a lost generation.

The Lord created us humans to rule the earth in union with Him so why would He withhold what we need to survive and live with on the earth. Romans.5:17. Rather than doubt the ability of God to provide, just consider the ravens and make up your mind that you are of more value to God than them and allow the Lord to make a way for you regardless of how it looks to be provided for.

Elijah in 1 Kings.17:4 & 6 And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank from the brook.

Ravens are takers by nature but when the Lord steps in they become givers. Let that truth wash over you completely and receive the miraculous working on your behalf in Jesus name.

I experienced the Lord making financial provision for me in Botswana and Sierra Leone in a way that was startling. They are not givers by nature but the provision they made towards me as I preached the gospel was a true testament to the Lord’s ability to release unusual kindness through the most unlikely vessels to show how great His ability to provide for us actually is.

This even though I never preached a single message on finances because at the time I was aware the countries were suffering financially but the Lord knew the needs of the people and wanted to show how He could make a financial difference in their lives as He caused them to sow financial seeds and reap harvests immediately to bring much financial recovery and restoration.

Did you ever wonder where the ravens got the bread and meat from as there was a famine in the land and men were dying. The Holy Spirit wants us to see the Lord from His perspective of abundance, not our limitations and concerns about supply and availability. The Lord uses ravens to provide for Elijah and Jesus uses ravens to remind us about His willingness to provide what we need in any and every situation. What a powerful God we serve.

Let’s go further with the Holy Spirit to discover what He is looking to get across to us going forward on what we choose to consider. Further in Luke.12:27 & 28 Jesus speaks again on what we should consider: Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?

He also goes ahead to give the conclusion to this matter of provision we struggle with. Will God not feed and clothe us? Jesus brings it down to reality!

We are the ones who lack the faith necessary to receive what God has available for us in the now and the Holy Spirit wants to help us develop great faith so we are not left out on the outskirts of His provision for us. Jesus wants us to experience our inheritance of supply from Him and live in the place of all sufficiency in all things. As the Divine Power of God has given to us all things that pertain to our lives and godliness according to His power we allow to work in us through faith.2 Peter.1:3 & 4.

The Holy Spirit took me one step further in this conversation on what I need to consider in Romans.4:19-22 which speaks of Abraham: And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Just look at the stance of consideration Abraham made here.

He refused to consider the present human reality his body was facing, death and natural inability, but focused his consideration on what the power of God could do for Him and Sarah’s womb in order to fulfill His promise to them.

He set his mind on God’s ability to perform what He promised and excluded any other thought in his mind of it not happening and his result was that he had what God said he would have and Sarah conceived and bore him Issac at 100 years old she being 90 years old. The same Lord remains today still capable to do what He did back then and more because of the sacrifice Jesus made for us to inherit life and that in its fullest measure.

The Holy Spirit said to me only consider what I promised you I would do in your life and throw out all other considerations that rise up to question what thus saith the Lord. Refuse to consider any doubt or unbelief and remain steadfast in your confession of what the Lord has said because His faithfulness will be standing over the grave of doubt and unbelief with a triumphant manifestation of the promise God spoke.

You are not the first to doubt and you will not be the last. However, choose to repent for doubting and get rid of that thought and focus on God’s ability to perform what He said. Go ahead and absolutely refuse to move from that stance no matter if the earth is removed from under you. God will still do and perform what He said. Psalm.46:1-3

Let the grace to focus only on what God promised and consider that alone flow towards you today as you hear and receive these words and go right on believing right through to the manifestation of the promise of God for your life as the Holy Spirit performs signs, wonders and astonishing miracles on your behalf and you become a manifestation of the glory of God on the earth for men to see and turn to Jesus. Amen.

This morning as I began my communion time with the Holy Spirit He spoke these words to me: How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and Power who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the devil for God was with Him.Acts.10:38.

He then asked me, has that fact changed today? I answered no because that was the starting point of the Kingdom of Jesus and Isaiah.9:7 points out that of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end. Has the kingdom of Jesus then ended? Certainly not, so God still anoints the followers and lovers of Jesus with the same Holy Spirit and Power to go about doing good and healing all who are oppressed of the devil.

This truly stirred me up this morning because it reminded me of the importance of us as the disciples of Jesus to reflect Him and His anointing to men on the earth as the solution to all the oppression we see in the world that the devil keeps creating. It is the responsibility of the followers of Jesus to make known His Kingdom for men to experience by being anointed with the Holy Spirit and power.

So I went on to allow the Holy Spirit to continue this conversation with me so I would understand what He is requiring me to do about the words He had spoken to me. Whenever the Lord speaks words to you, get ready because they will require you to make a dramatic change to line up with the new direction the Lord has prepared to take you on.

This conversation began to expand out as I yielded to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and confirmations from scripture backing up the words the Holy Spirit began revealing to me. Be certain of this fact that the Holy Spirit will never speak things to you contrary to the words God spoke in the Bible.

He will always guide you into truth, not deception and lies and this is so that you are established on truth which brings freedom rather than lies which bring bondage. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of liberty and freedom from oppression so only brings words that will free and deliver you from satanic oppression and give you life and that more abundantly.John.16:13.

Now in Acts.10:36 & 37 from where the word the Holy Spirit spoke to me came from sets the context for what the Holy Spirit wanted me to know and go from in terms of the action I will need to take about this word. Acts.10:36 & 37 say these words: 6 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all— 37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:

You will notice first of all that the deliverance offered to the children of Israel came through a word God sent to them by Jesus who preached good news that offered peace and Jesus went about declaring that word and as many as believed and received that word were delivered and freed from the oppression of the devil.

Look at John.1:6-13 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That] was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11 He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

God sent a man with a message of deliverance for His people and only those who believed the message and received the word were granted access to the rights of the Kingdom. The message we are sent to preach by the Holy Spirit contains the deliverance needed for man to free them. However if you refuse the message you are unable to benefit from promises given in the word sent.

An example of this is in Luke.5:17-20 Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them. 18 Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him. 19 And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus. 20 When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

This is powerful because what we see here is people all around Jesus supposedly listening to His words as a Prophet they respect and honour and power is available to heal all present and they receive nothing. Then we see those unable to attend the meeting because the place is full, who were not privileged to have a seat to listen to Jesus find a way to get the man they are carrying before Jesus by breaking through the roof and dropping the man in front of Jesus.

Jesus is ecstatic and offers the Man forgiveness of sins. Jesus then proceeds to heal him because he saw faith in the man’s friends to bring him to Jesus regardless of the obstacles of so many people blocking access and that power that was present that day to heal got someone healed. Look at what happened after that by those attending the meeting and make sure that you never respond to God’s deliverance of others in that way and potentially lose your ability to benefit from the word God sends you.

The Holy Spirit then pointed out that He fills us with the Holy Spirit and power and gives us a word for His people and those who receive that word would go on to receive everything God said they will have through that word because they believe and accept by faith that God has spoken to them and have the blessings.

Some however will reject that word and gain nothing and go on to say God never spoke that word. The difference is startling but it is real. God can only get to us through the words He sends to us through His servants full of the Holy Spirit but our receiving of those words is what makes them real in our lives.

The Holy Spirit makes the power available through the Servant of the Lord speaking the word of deliverance and the recipient must respond in faith to connect to that word and obtain grace to see the manifestation of whatever God intended that word to bring to reality or create.Hebrews.2:1-4.

When the Holy Spirit began revealing to me that I would minister His word in the Nations I chose to believe it and accept that God would bring it to pass and surely He has done as He said He would and continues to make it happen. Those to whom I have brought the word of deliverance who accepted it have also experienced all manner of miracles God said they would receive and gone on to testify of God’s faithfulness in accomplishing what He said.

My prayer for you today is that you find the grace of repentance for every time you have negated the word of the Lord sent you as a result of an offense with a Servant of God. Then open your heart again to receive this word of the Lord to you and begin to experience again the manifestation of thus saith the Lord in your life and become a fruit bearer of all the miracles, signs and wonders God has ready for you to partake of daily. Thus you will walk continually free of every oppression of the devil and manifest the goodness of God on the earth for men to see and know that the Jesus you serve is real in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit in my communion time with Him this morning reminded me that He is seeking to help us tighten up our walk and curb the small things that cause us to drift. This is to enable us to override all the usual events satan has used previously to rob us of triumph by offense at the last moment that gives him the right to take our prize, because we have left our position and run off. Hebrews.2:1-4.

However the Holy Spirit wants you armed with grace to be steadfast and immovable and refusing to give ground through these words so you go on to walk in and partake of your divine inheritance and glorify the name of the Lord in your life. Allow the Spirit of wisdom to navigate and direct you and be found in Him not your natural and fleshly wisdom so triumph will be your outcome in Jesus name.Ephesians.1:17.

The Holy Spirit spoke to me today about understanding wisdom more comprehensively and its importance in our daily lives. We must understand that the Spirit of Wisdom is a Person. Whereas the word of Wisdom is a single word from the Person/Spirit of Wisdom for an individual situation. This is the reason why the Apostle Paul spent so much time praying that we be filled with the Spirit of Wisdom and the knowledge of God’s will in everything.

Single words of Wisdom are not enough for our lives, because they only deal with the wisdom required in an individual event. We need the immersion into the Spirit of Wisdom to fulfill the purpose of God.We need more than a single word of wisdom to navigate all the situations that will come up in life and this is why it is imperative for us to seek the Lord for the Spirit of Wisdom to provide the necessary wisdom for each situation that arises in life.

In our time today the Holy Spirit showed me from Proverbs:27.11 My son, when you walk in wisdom, My heart is filled with gladness, for the way you live is proof that I’ve not taught you in vain. That we need to walk in Wisdom is vital to living. Wisdom in Himself is an entity we must walk in, which alludes to the fact that we will need to lose who we are, as we walk in Him and it is His nature and characteristics that begin to permeate our lives and not ours.1 Corinthians.1:30.

Wisdom’s nature is Pure, Peaceable, full of understanding, loving, kind, gentle which points to the fact that if we are walking in Him these should be the fruit we exhibit. We always have checks we can do to test ourselves in how we are walking with God and make it a habit to assess ourselves so we keep short time accounts with God. There is no pride in Wisdom even though He knows all things and can do all things and has answers to all things. James.3:17.

The Holy Spirit went on to tell me that He the Lord is filled with gladness when we walk in Wisdom as that is when His Nature and Character are exhibited through our lives as our fruit shows clearly in action that our deeds are done through His power and hand rather than ours. He reminded me which He always does that Jesus only reflected the will of the Father not His Own even though He was the word of God manifested in flesh.

A beautiful lesson that He pointed out to me is that we should live by the voice of the Lord versus the law of God. My sheep Jesus says know my voice and the voice of a stranger they will not follow. As I hear My Father’s voice I judge and my judgment is right because I seek not my desire but the desire of the One who sent Me. John.10:4-6

The Spirit of truth guides us into all truth, the full comprehensive reality of the whole truth. Satan He reminded me also spoke to Jesus the “word” in his temptations to move Jesus to sin, but Jesus answered back with the truth He heard from His Father which the Holy Spirit spoke to Him. Thou art My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased that is what you should walk in not the question if you are the son of God.

Jesus knew the voice of His Father and was not going to let questions on the integrity of the voice of His Father shift Him from position. This is why the Holy Spirit pointed out the importance of walking in Wisdom so we are lost in the Nature of God and can’t be seen. This is so that God is the Person revealed through us and that pleases Him as it did with Jesus. The Spirit of Wisdom is the answer which no one can thwart.

When walking in Wisdom we don’t have to pretend to be, but we just are, as our weakness is swallowed up in His Strength and that’s where we should always want to be and walk in.

In this posture of walking in the Spirit of wisdom it proves we have not been taught in vain but we reflect who God is to our world. In other words our light so shines that men see our good works and glorify our Father in Heaven and we bear Him much fruit which remains.Matthew.5:16.

May your story be today that you walk in the Spirit of Wisdom and let every grace you need be supplied to you through these words. Then let the Holy Spirit broaden your scope so that you will reflect the nature and character of Jesus in all your doings going forward in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit reminded me this morning in my communion time with Him of His role and responsibility towards us as pointed out by Jesus in John.14:25 & 26 “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

The importance of the role of the Holy Spirit to bring back to our remembrance the things Jesus spoke to us before. This is because when we hear truth it sparks light and life to us, but when attacks and tribulation arise because of that word we gradually lose sight of the words spoken and start drifting and it is the reminders that the Holy Spirit gives that ignites a new passion and desire to see those words fulfilled in our lives. Mark.4:16-19.

So today let these words of reminder stir you back to taking action so you can reap the benefits God intended for you when He first spoke those words. Jesus never wants you to come short of any word He has spoken over your life and will continually send you reminders through the Holy Spirit till you experience that truth manifested in your life experience. So let these words minister afresh to you the wonders of the Lord towards you and captivate your hearts to take the necessary action for your triumph in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him shared with me so many different truths and reminders of my position in Him and the responsibilities I have to steward what He reveals to me. He spoke to me about how we must prioritize our time and what are the things we need to stop doing that are not profitable to our life and wellbeing and how to use our time more profitably.

Although we follow His daily leadings we are not to get comfortable in what is happening through our lives but press in for more of what God has in store for us and keep that momentum running rather than rest on our laurels because God has done some mighty thing on our behalf.

We have been given the responsibility to use the time the Lord gives us each day to establish and multiply out the Kingdom of Jesus through our lives and bring Him much fruit which remains. Ephesians.5:15 & 16.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of when Jesus spoke to His disciples in Luke.12:35-38 “Let your waist be girded and your lamps burning; 36 and you yourselves be like men who wait for their master, when he will return from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks they may open to him immediately. 37 Blessed are those servants whom the master, when he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them. 38 And if he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.

You can clearly see from the way Jesus spoke here that though He had encouraged them about what God had provided for them and made available for them He expected them to respond faithfully and He would test their faithfulness in being alert and ready to do what the Master needed at any given point in time.

This is a priority with the Lord in our relationship with Him and it will be tested to see where we are at given points in time and you won’t know when so it is incumbent on you to be ready always.

Let us look at the commands Jesus gives here: let your waists be girded with truth which the Apostle Paul and Peter go on to emphasize in their letters to those who will follow the Lord.

In Ephesians.6:14 in putting on the whole armor of God Paul starts by saying gird up your loins with truth; this term gird means to ready oneself for action, encircling yourself with truth, well that certainly requires doing something as in order to defeat your enemy who is constantly throwing lies and deception around you must of necessity be confessing truth and establishing it in your heart with as much or more intensity if you are to defeat it controlling your actions.

You cannot cast down what you tolerate or allow to flow and pass through your mind. You need to actively rebuke and reject its right to determine your mindset by disallowing it. Ephesians.4:27. Remember that the truth you know and apply alone will make you free and keep you free.

“Truth not applied is dormant and will not work for you.” Hence we are told to gird ourselves with it, in an active state of mind which Jesus, Paul and Peter each insisted we as disciples need to do.

Let us look at what Peter pointed out on what to do when he said gird ourselves in 1 Peter.:13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Again we see it requires action on our part to take control of our mind and Peter here speaks about the reproductive part of your mind being so encircled with truth and sober, not in presumption, or arrogance, or foolish thinking but resting completely on the grace which the Holy Spirit will bring to you by revelation.

In other words your mouth must be actively declaring the truth and establishing it in your hearts so that you are constantly ready to take the action the Holy Spirit will require you to take when the hour of manifestation arrives.

In Peter’s life this occurs in Acts.10:9 Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. Peter has to take the initiative to go pray and engage with God and then goes on to have the trance and the Holy Spirit breaks through with the truth to cause Peter to take action which he would never have done because of the mindset that he had as a jew which required that action.

He now had to gird his mind with the new truth which he heard Jesus speak about time and again but it had not quite registered with him but would come through that day as the Holy Spirit ministered it to him and said now go with those men without doubting.

Watch how that singular event Peter engaged in and girded his mind with truth on became the catalyst that birthed these words in Acts.10:34-35 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. which made salvation a reality for me and you today and every human being on earth who would choose to follow Jesus and work righteousness.

Be encouraged by how that singular event changed Peter eternally as He engaged with the Holy Spirit in because he chose to gird his mind with the truth the Holy Spirit gave him and got to see God in action in a new dimension in Acts.10:44-48 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. 45 And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.

Then Peter answered, 47 “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days. God knew what Cornelius had done for His name and had lived out and was going to reward him for that and no bias of Peter was going to stop that happening.

My prayer and heartfelt desire for you today is that you engage in girding the loins of your heart and minds completely on the truth the Holy Spirit reveals and allow Him to bring forth every thing He has assigned for you to do in the Spirit for the advancement of the Kingdom which will glorify His name. May you always find grace to be in the bullseye of God’s will and purpose for your lives and be girded to execute on His behalf in the prescribed time for His glory in Jesus name. Amen.

Take some quality time today and meditate these words over and over again, look over the scriptures again and let them become a part of your life and you will see more expansion of the life of Jesus made available to you and much increase of productivity for the Kingdom in Jesus name. Amen.

It is delightful to have a friend who always keeps you informed on the truth, so you can overcome and defeat any lie anytime. Well my precious ones, that friend is the Holy Spirit and He wants you to experience the whole truth in every situation in life so you are constantly walking in freedom because knowing the truth makes you free. John.16:13-15.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning He shared with me more things about His nature and characteristics. His way of doing things and how we should cooperate more with Him to gain better results in quicker time with less effort in the rest which He supplies for us to achieve the miraculous for God.

We need to remind ourselves that Jesus has already done everything necessary for us to reign as kings in this life. Romans.5:17. We have the responsibility to yield to the plan the Holy Spirit has and surrender to the walk necessary in Jesus to bring about the answer of triumph in all things.

We just have to yield to the voice of the Holy Spirit to accomplish the heart of the Lord. In Ephesians.2:10 we read these beautiful words Paul learnt from the Holy Spirit by revelation For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. The power behind these words are very revealing and should make you ecstatic and joyous to know this fact.

If we are the workmanship of God then there is no deficiency in us because God has no deficient materials He uses to build anything.

Look around you: what has God ever created that has failed to do what God made it to do including seeds that are planted becoming trees which in due season become producers of multiplied fruit. Check out the sun that comes out each day and supplies both heat and light and even vitamin d without fail since its inception when God placed it in operation without ever breaking down or losing its power or energy and running out of fuel. What a glorious God we serve.

Now you are the workmanship of God created in Christ Jesus. What did Christ Jesus do? He went about doing good healing all who were oppressed of the devil for God was with Him. In like manner because you also are the handiwork of the Lord created in the same image of Jesus with the same might and power He walked in to carry out good works which He prepared for you to do which you should walk in.

How should that fail when God never fails.

We need to trust the Holy Spirit more. We need to submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit for God to work those good things He prepared for us to do beforehand.

I remember the first day I laid hands on a sick person and they got healed. It was a glorious experience because the person went from pain to ecstasy in a moment as the healing virtue of God touched them. The Holy Spirit was pleased I could begin to work and operate in the things of healing that Jesus had prepared for me to experience to glorify His name.

The Holy Spirit remains the same and wants us to experience His mighty power working through us in greater dimensions. I recall when in Botswana I had a day when I had agreed to see so many people to counsel them individually on things they needed answers from the Lord on and that morning the Holy Spirit said cancel all appointments and tell them to come to the evening meeting and they will have the answers to all their dilemmas.

I spent that whole day with the Holy Spirit as opposed to my morning communion time and only came out to attend the meeting.

That Day after the worship time I led the Holy Spirit did what I could not and healed and gave answers to all I was to see privately and more without me having to lay a hand on anyone and I learnt a lesson of the Holy Spirit being able to do far more with me than I alone laying hands. I left that meeting more energized with so many God miracles allowing the Holy Spirit to do the work only He can do and go with Him on the ride.

To this day that is how the Holy Spirit still works the miraculous in and through my life. You are welcome to come into the more exceedingly great and precious promises the Lord has available for you to experience by agreeing with the Holy Spirit.

I pray today as you hear these words which are meant for your enrichment and edification you will step into the grace the Holy Spirit has available for you and begin to function in the good works which God prepared for you to walk in because you also are His workmanship created for signs and wonders to be wrought through your lives.

Surrender your heart to function in the way of the Lord. Give the Holy Spirit your thoughts and ask Him to purge your conscience from every dead work so you can serve the Lord again in Spirit and in truth in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit said to me this morning in my communion time with Him, do I want to ride with Him further and deeper in the realms of glory where He is in His vehicle of glory? Or am I satisfied to remain in the place of just enough not manifesting the overflowing bounty of His oceans of glory. You will then ask me where have you been riding then?

I have been riding daily with the direction and guidance of the Holy Spirit but He wants us to be completely overtaken by His Presence and producing an outpouring of the Anointing of the Holy Spirit that changes Nations in a day and makes righteousness the desire of the hearts of men.

It speaks of riding with the Lord on the heights of the earth in Isaiah.58:13&14 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the Lord honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words,14 Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord; And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

Let us take a journey with the Holy Spirit on this level place that He controls and directs so that we can partake of everything He says we can have and experience the fullness of God. Sabbath or the day of rest is very important to God.

In fact God in Genesis.2:1-3 we read Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. The Lord starts His relationship with man from the seventh day which is the day when He rested and called us to enter that rest with Him.Hebrews.4:1-10.

Man was not involved in the work of the creation process with the Lord till the seventh day, the rest day of God. All human activity on earth started after all things worked perfectly on the earth and the Lord set man as the Manager or administrator of all He had created for man to experience and enjoy.

From the Holy Spirit’s perspective sabbath is a time of delighting ourselves in the Lord completely and giving Him our undivided attention. Now the thing I love so much about the Lord is that He spells it out clearly for us what He wants and requires us to do and what He will then do for us as we obey Him.

Look what He requests we do: then stop doing what pleases you on My day and start calling doing Me your delight, and the holy day of the Lord honorable by not doing your own ways, that is the thoughts, opinions you take and then carry out that become a way for you that always leads to death. I beseech you cease from doing that.

How about stop finding your own pleasure, and not speaking your own words? Our words are not Spirit and life as Jesus pointed out in John.6:63. What would our results look like when we stop acting on our own initiative?

So stop speaking your own words and only speak thus says the Lord. Then watch the difference in your results. God’s words on your mouth produce life and change circumstances.

When this happens and you are delighting in the Lord, not just calling spending quality, dedicated, secluded time to the Lord a delight, this is when you will start riding where God rides on the heights and high places of the earth. The place where you begin to influence what happens in nations and determine the results that happen.Revelation.1:10.

When you find this place in God with the Holy Spirit you will begin walking and riding where God rides in His chariots of fire and Divine control of all situations and affairs in life. This is the place of supreme glory that the Holy Spirit wants all disciples of Jesus to walk in: The place of all authority that Jesus Has over everything in heaven and on earth.Hebrews.1:1-4. Matthew.28:18-20.

In Hebrews.4:9-11 we are told There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

I came to see that even John in the book of revelation got those mighty words on the Lord’s day which is sabbath where He was alone, by himself with no distractions. He could focus completely on the Lord and just look at his results. Finding the place of rest in what God has done and already completed is the greatest place to walk in because you are on a roll and ride with and by God and therefore cannot fail if you remain riding there.

I pray that as you have heard these words of truth the grace to walk in them will be supplied to you and you will take the action to sabbath delight with the Lord and come into the place where you ride with the Lord in His place and experience life from His Perspective while riding in His vehicle of glory. He hides you in the secret place of His Pavilion from the strife of tongues and the secret place of His Presence from the plots of men. The place Jesus walked that men could not harm or touch Him.

May you be enriched by the potency of these truths that propels you into the magnificence of His glory that will radiate through you and bring full glory to His magnificent Name as you bear much fruit that remains in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants you to begin setting time on purpose to meet with Him to be taught and instructed in righteousness. I know you will say that you give Him time each day, but He wants you to now prioritize the time you take with Him and bring structure to it. Make it as a set plan each day as you do to go to work for your employer or business.

You will not be slack concerning being at work on time because you are looking to be faithful to your boss or business profit. You also are making sure of your salary each month being paid and for that reason you will even wake up earlier to ensure that you are available early to start your day of work for your employer to demonstrate your commitment to the role.

Well today that is the mindset that the Holy Spirit wants you to apply to your walk with the Lord as that shows how valuable you think relationship with Jesus actually is to you and your commitment is demonstrated in what you are willing to do to please Him. Exodus.20:3.

In Luke.5:16 we read these words about Jesus However, He made a practice of withdrawing to remote places in order to pray. Now you can see from this passage that Jesus made withdrawing from people His practice to find deserted places so that He could pray and spend time with the Holy Spirit to know what He ought to do because that was His priority. John.5:19.

Now we know that Jesus was sent to help people because the Father sent Him to earth to save the souls of men, so you would think that His practice would be to withdraw from God and spend time with the people because that is how He would be able to reach them by being with them and convincing them to change.

However Jesus’s practice was to withdraw from men and pursue God and then from the overflow of being with God give man what he needed. This practice worked perfectly and enabled Jesus to accomplish the plan of God to the letter and avail us of so great a salvation. No wonder why the disciples asked Jesus in Luke.11 to teach them how to pray.

For some reason we seem to believe that giving the Lord prescribed and arranged time is a crime or bondage and we can be slack with that because doing things for people is the priority.

Well Jesus said that we should seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and then all the other things will be added unto us. Jesus also said that except we deny ourselves daily, take up our cross and follow Him we cannot become His disciples. Well I have just pointed out what Jesus made His practice and we will need to follow that practice if we are truly following Him because that is what He did and that cannot be denied. Matthew.16:24.

In the book of Acts.6:2-4 we read these words: 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. 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.

Now the followers of Jesus make the priority not serving people but giving themselves to prayer continually and then the ministry of the word to people which is exactly what they observed their Master Jesus do and saw how successful that was for His mission and followed suit in theirs.

When conflict arose about how they used their time they clearly pointed out that it is undesirable to leave the practice of prayer and seeking God to minister to people’s needs because that is our priority. Just look at their results as they kept the priority of withdrawing to seek God their daily practice.

Well today the Holy Spirit wants to remind you and stir you back up to the place of prioritizing your time with Him as your practice again. Then watch and see how much your life will again begin to take the God shape and progress more rapidly as you go on to produce much more fruit.

All this because your priority shifts back to your original practice of withdrawing to be filled with the Holy Spirit and coming out loaded with the Presence and power of God that will change lives eternally and expand Jesus’s Kingdom reach on the earth.

I pray today that as you hear these words, zeal for the Fathers house will again consume your hearts and minds and, propel you through the grace supplied you by the Holy Spirit to be about the Father’s business of withdrawing to be empowered by the Holy Spirit and returning to show forth His glory to men and that cycle continuing day by day so that the name of Jesus is glorified and His Kingdom expanded on the earth.

Let this be your purpose in Jesus’ name. Amen. John.2:17.

The Holy Spirit said to me as I had my communion time with Him this morning to minister this word to you today as a refreshing from the Presence of the Lord to restore all things back to you and reposition you to take hold of your divine inheritance in Jesus. Acts.3:19,20 & 26.

The Holy Spirit is all over me to share this word and bring healing to all who are broken hearted because the promises of God are yet to be fulfilled . These are the Lord’s special ones who have been betrayed, suffered loss and feel like their service of God has not been rewarded but have rather experienced much pain and anguish.

These contrary results to what you expected have happened even though you obeyed what the Lord required of you. Though you have served the Lord by giving up much with little or no reward forthcoming. You have remained faithful to the word. However in spite of these things the Lord still remains faithful and will fulfill His plan in your lives. 2 Peter.3:9-12.

Well today the Lord wants to minister to you and give you the true picture of where things really are, and heal you of every hurt and brokenness you feel and experience. 2 Corinthians.4:17 & 18.

In Isaiah.49:14-18 it reads “But Zion said, “The LORD has forsaken me, And my Lord has forgotten me.”15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.16 See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; Your walls are continually before Me.17 Your sons shall make haste;

Your destroyers and those who laid you waste Shall go away from you.18 Lift up your eyes, look around and see; All these gather together and come to you. As I live,” says the LORD, “You shall surely clothe yourselves with them all as an ornament, And bind them on you as a bride does.

Firstly and most importantly the Lord has not forsaken you, so know that as a fact that no matter what happened with men the Lord has not left you. He is there for you. You need to lift up your eyes and focus on Him, and turn away from the hurt men have caused you.Hebrews.13:5.

Secondly the Lord has not forgotten you in fact He has inscribed you on the palms of His hand which implies He cannot move His hands without you being a beneficiary of what He does. Take a moment and pause and just let that truth sink in, you are tied in His hands and no one can stop the hand of God from moving and accomplishing marvels and fulfilling ancient plans faithfully and truly. Isaiah.59:1.

The Holy Spirit then said I should look up the word inscribed so I would have a clearer picture of what the Lord meant when He said inscribed. I have found that what we think a word means from what we learned in our school days or life and what that word really means are completely different and the Holy Spirit always reminds me to check the word so I get the true import of what has been said. Isaiah.49:16.

Inscribed means to print as a lasting record so the Lord has printed us our image on the palm of His hand as a lasting record of all that He wants to do, establish and fulfill His will and plan for our lives. That reality means that anything and everything needed for us to succeed His hand will surely provide and perform to ensure we walk in the miracles, signs and wonders His hand can perform to fulfill His word to us.

Now how can we say He has forgotten or forsaken us then? Perish that lying tongue of the enemy and lay hold of the thoughts of your Father who loves you and will do everything to lift you up, recover you and restore all that belongs to you. John.10:29.

The Lord goes on to point out how if mothers don’t forget the child at their breasts and even says when some forget or sleep from fatigue, He the Lord never will because He never slumbers nor sleeps but keeps us from all evil. Isaiah.49:15

Now these are the real facts for your life even though you feel your heart has been broken.

Now as an act of obedience, throw off the lies of satan that God has forsaken and forgotten you and embrace the truth you have now received and walk free today.

Choose on purpose now to never go back to that thought that God is not for you and as you lift your eyes today in thanksgiving to the Lord, experience His abounding love overflowing towards you. Then lay hold of every promise He has ever given you and determine you will walk in it without fail in the name of Jesus and will allow the Holy Spirit to guide and lead you to all the Hand of the Lord has for you in Jesus’ name. Amen.

In conclusion, take the time to meditate on Isaiah.49 and let it become part of your daily life. It is always a wonder to see how the word takes shape in our lives as we embrace and receive it fully manifested in our lives.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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