A blessed head of the year to you. We have just celebrated Rosh Hashanah from Monday sun down to yesterday. It was a glorious time of feasting after a time of fasting and the Holy Spirit really ministered to us speaking of the glorious things to expect this coming year. I will share the highlights of my communion time with the Holy Spirit including the preparation time of introspection for the feast of Rosh Hashanah because without going through the preparation time we are unable to benefit from the promises the Lord makes to us. We are told that the word of the Lord tested Joseph until he was prepared to walk in fullness of the plan of the Lord in Egypt.

The Holy Spirit started speaking to me from Isaiah.40:1 which reads these words: “Comfort, yes, comfort My people!” Says your God. These words were spoken when Israel was still in Babylon which had become the Medes and Persians scattered in various districts unable to come together to create an army which could defeat Cyrus the King of Persia. So how were they to speak comfort when everything was totally contrary to comfort.

The way the Lord had delivered them previously was by raising someone as a leader who could fight and defeat the army they were under but in this present situation there was no army in Israel and certainly no man anointed with the might to take on King Cyrus and defeat him in order to free the Israelites. So what was the reason for the words of comfort the Lord was saying to speak to His people that their warfare was over which the Lord spoke in verse two.

Now this is how the Lord speaks because in Romans.4:17 we are told how the Lord views and addresses situations: (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed–God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; The Lord speaks of non existent things as though they exist because whatever the Holy Spirit says becomes exactly what the Lord says. The Lord calls death life because in His Presence death becomes life.

The Lord gave Ezekiel a lesson on His ability in Ezekiel.37:10-14 when He declares that dry bones are His mighty army which He will use to show His glory on earth. Ezekiel is stunned but realizes as he speaks the Lord’s words that those dry bones become exactly what the Lord says as he says what the Lord tells him to speak as those dry bones become the mighty army.

Another reminder is when the Angel of the Lord speaks to Gideon in Judges.6:12 by calling him a mighty man of valor while he is in hiding threshing wheat in a winepress for fear of the midianites destroying his wheat. The angel tells him to go in this might of his and save Israel from the midianites in verse:14 after Gideon declares just how weak he and his family are pointing out that this word is a fantasy not a reality. The reality was that what the Angel said is what went on to happen as Gideon did defeat the midian army as one man.

“This is the reason we should always believe and do only what the Lord says no matter how different it looks from our present reality, because what the Lord says is the truth.”

The Holy Spirit wants us to see from the Father’s perspective of us and never from the condition we find ourselves in. In Jeremiah.29:11 we read these words: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. The difference between the Lord and us is that the Lord knows His thoughts. He is not presuming what could possibly be best for us or how things should fare for us based on outward circumstances. He knows exactly what He thinks about us and proceeds to do exactly as He thinks.

When the Lord spoke Jeremiah.29:11 it was over eighty years before Israel was carried into Babylon. The Lord was pointing out that after seventy years under Babylon they would return back to Israel and rebuild it. He also knew that Babylon who captured them would no longer be in existence as a Nation but His thoughts for Israel would be manifested because that was His plan. The Lord pointed out that I used Babylon to correct my people but never said they would remain as a Nation so they had no reason to boast because they defeated Israel once. The Lord’s plan was not for them to remain a kingdom forever.

This is why it is so important to know the Holy Spirit’s thoughts concerning us because those alone will be what sustains and keeps us no matter what happens which the Holy Spirit reminded me happened as Joseph entered Egypt as a slave but rose to the position of ruler or Prime Minister because the Lord had said it to him in his dreams which were surely going to happen. This was the case even though his brothers said as they sold him to the Ishmaelites let us see what will come of his dreams now?

Their wicked scheme to sell Joseph did not change the Lord’s mind concerning Joseph but positioned him in Egypt for the plan of God to be fulfilled to the last detail which they experienced when they bowed down to him in Egypt just as his dream had revealed. I encourage you to place more value on what thus saith the Lord than any situation that is speaking contrary to the Holy Spirit’s word to you because the Lord’s word will outlive and stand over the grave of any contrary word spoken against it.

I am so full of the Holy Spirit’s word to me I can hardly stop just pouring out the things He spoke to me. I will introduce the next aspect concerning the necessary preparation we must take to be in position for the word He spoke to manifest in our lives as He revealed from Isaiah.40:3 & 4 which enable us to let go of our thoughts, mindsets, concepts and processing which mean we can’t line up with the word the Lord has for now.

It is in the wilderness that our hearts are softened and become tender enough to line up with God’s word of comfort because our warfare has ended to make way for the glory of the Lord to be revealed in our lives, which is the Lord’s goal for us. As I share on this important aspect of change which happens in the wilderness preparatory time you will discover why many times in the past you have missed out on walking in the manifestation of the glory of the Lord because even though it was before you you could not accept and receive it because your heart and mind were unable to connect with the Holy Spirit to share in the glory which would arise upon you.

Take in all I have shared today so you can flow into the next aspect tomorrow of change which will happen in the wilderness time which I will share details on tomorrow. May the grace flow towards you abundantly as you meditate on these words so in this year you will walk in the glory the Lord has planned for you to experience by being visible in your lives which will expand the Kingdom of Jesus on earth.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning He reminded me of the approach Jesus took about the enemy and what Jesus taught His disciples on how to approach the devil. Jesus never told the disciples to ever fear what the enemy could do to them but rather stressed on what God would do to protect them and keep them from the works of the devil. Jesus was very concerned that His disciples were not deceived, and walked in truth about everything.

When I first got saved the Holy Spirit spent much time teaching me the important things about truth by showing me what God wanted to do for me if I simply obeyed. His emphasis was on what Jesus had accomplished on my behalf and how I was to appropriate those benefits then using them to succeed and prosper in life.

 I only realized how blessed I was to have these teachings when I started coming around certain Pentecostal circles because I realized they spent more time on what satan was doing to and against them. It was surprising that they spent very little time on what Jesus had accomplished for us and how we should use this authority to triumph in life.

Let me share with you some of the lessons the Holy Spirit taught me that enabled me to build more confidence in who and what Jesus did for me above who was seeking to hinder and hamper me.

Luke.21:7-9 says these words:So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?” 8 And He said: “Take heed that you will not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them. 9 But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately.” In this discourse the disciples are asking Jesus when the end will be and what is necessary for them to know and what sign to look for so they do not miss the time.

“Jesus then points out what is necessary for every disciple to know and do.” “Watch out that you are not deceived.”

Don’t look for signs in the sky or on earth but ensure that your hearts are not deceived away from truth because there will be much said by people claiming it is Jesus and you need to follow after him by doing this new thing they claim.

I am very curious to know the truth so I asked the Holy Spirit why was deception what Jesus harped on and not a sign they could hold on to against a lie. He pointed out to me Jeremiah.17:9 & 10 which reads: “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? 10 I, the Lord, search the heart,I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

“ Now each disciple has a heart and that heart loves deceit so the most important thing is to guard the heart against receiving and accepting lies which will constantly be thrown at you. It is only if we remain in the truth that we will be able to counter the lie or deception that shows up and remain faithful to the Lord.”

Jesus knew what was in the heart of man and that it could change suddenly and quickly if the deception offered what the heart desired and be drawn away rather than the power satan has over man. The weapon of deception is more powerful than satan because through deception one can easily be an agent of satan without even realizing it and accomplish his will , believing you are walking in truth. Deception is satan’s most powerful weapon against man. Genesis.3:1-5.

The wonderful thing about the Lord is that He provides everything we need before time which explains why He gave us the Spirit of truth to guide us into all truth so that our hearts could remain steadfast in truth. We are not to be moved by deception and lies when they are spun on us. Always remember that in any area we are deceived we always fall prey to satan and his works because we are not operating in truth.

This is why we must remain humble before God and realize that we cannot keep ourselves but must be reliant on the Spirit of truth to guide us into all the truth. Jude.24.

The Holy Spirit at a crucial point in my walk with Jesus told me that I needed to deal with and repent of every desire I had as a child growing up because there was a manifestation of those desires that satan was seeking to bring to me in that season to rob me of the God plan.

The reality was that I had desired those things as a child and wanted them and now satan who was the only one who would grant them was wanting to manifest them for me at this God important moment of my life to rob me of the plan of God.

Thankfully I responded to this prompting and started repenting of every wrong desire I had and could remember. The reality was that within two weeks of that time someone who I was not in communication with because he was a compromise to relationship with the Lord called me with the very desire fulfillment as if we were still buddies and was saying on the phone which I refused to answer that he was watching that event and wanted to share it with me because I had voiced that desire as a kid which he knew.

 I refused to take the call and said to my best friend I can hear that music in the background and that was exactly what the Holy Spirit refused to speak with this person who happened to be my elder brother on those terms and hence lost out on God’s plan for me.

I had other similar events that came up offering me things I had desired as a child in that season in addition and the aim was to deceive me through my desire being fulfilled in my soul, rather than what God had prepared for me to reap on His behalf for my walk with Him. My heart needed to be steadfast in the truth and not let the deception of fulfillment of the fleshly desire lead me to defeat.

This is what Jesus was pointing out to the disciples that deception received and accepted means you do the devils will even if you think differently because you are carrying out a lie in your life. Our hearts must only yield to the truth to follow Jesus because He is truth and there is no lie or deception in truth which He is.

We must therefore always stay in the truth lane and permit the Holy Spirit daily to keep us in the Truth because Jesus gave Him to us to fulfill that purpose of keeping and guiding us into all truth which we will gain each day.

The end of our faith which Peter points to in his letter which is the saving of our soul and that means our mind, our will , our intellect and our emotions all in complete unison with Jesus and only doing His will. 1 Peter.1:9.

I have made the quality decision for my soul to remain in the work and walk of salvation as I walk out the plan of God for my life as the Apostle Paul states working out your salvation with fear and trembling till every part of me serves Jesus fully with the Holy Spirit through His guidance into all truth to accomplish the plan of Jesus in my life as I continually surrender to Him in all things.

I pray that today as you meditate on these words every grace you need to walk free of deception you will find. Then be released from all incumbrances by walking again in the truth that frees you.

Then the Holy Spirit will be able to guide you to the paths of pleasantness and peace which Jesus purposed for you to walk in as that deception will no longer be able to move you to abort the plan of Jesus for your life. You will walk in the rich fulfilment Jesus ordained for you to walk in for His glory in Jesus name. Amen.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning He spoke to me about seeing things beyond the plain, into beyond the mountain unto the place Jesus has ordained for you to walk in this new season. Beyond your wildest dreams and imaginations.

He spoke clearly about things that the eye has not seen. The ear has not heard, nor have entered the heart of man the things He has prepared for us.1 Corinthians.2:9.

They shall be revealed to us through the Holy Spirit. He pointed out to me that these are not just words we speak from the bible because we know and have studied a couple of scriptures.

They are real promises from the Holy Spirit which He is about to bring to manifestation in our lives in true living events which will surely happen. He reminded me that the vision is for an appointed time and that vision will speak. Habakkuk.2:3.

These words are not vain imaginations or high things which men have conceived but a product of the Holy Spirit which shall be birthed forth for the Lord’s glory to be revealed for men to see. God does not bring to the time of birth and then fails to bring forth. Isaiah.66:9.

This season is just as when the Lord said that a virgin will conceive and give birth to His son which men said was impossible. Isaiah.7:14.

That thought was not conceivable in the eyes of men because it is not possible in the natural realm for that sort of event to take place. However the Lord said it because He had planned it. So when the time appointed came, He was going to make it happen regardless of whether man believed it possible or not. Our Master Jesus was the result of that word. Matthew.1:18.

Man was going to be involved with the process and that singular event was going to change the course of history eternally. It opened the door for a new breed of men loaded with God to become the catalysts of the greatest moves of God in history.

Men and women empowered by the Holy Spirit doing and carrying out feats for God that had never been seen before but became commonplace in the affairs of men. Joel.2:29 & 30.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that when Isaiah and Jeremiah spoke those prophecies men laughed, scorned and ridiculed them as heretics, but did the responses of men change the facts of those words.

Never because the words the Lord speaks are not subject to what thus saith man. So don’t be concerned when men ridicule the words God speaks concerning His plan for your life in this season but respond as Mary did when she said: be it unto me according to your word and, what Gabriel said to Mary shall be your end result because with God nothing shall be impossible.Luke.1:38.

God never promised possible things will happen. God always declares the impossible to man will happen so that no flesh can glory in His Presence. Luke.1:38.

“So today lift your eyes and look beyond the plain and beyond. Look over the mountains of possibility to the realities that the Holy Spirit is pointing to where the impossible becomes a reality so you can experience it with shouts of joy and excitement by: saying “look what the Lord has done and it is marvellous in our eyes.”

“Don’t be moved by any voice that contradicts what thus saith the Lord but laugh in scorn at anything that says it will not happen for this is the time the Lord has ordained to bring His plan for your life to come to pass.”Psalm.2:4.

Nothing can stop what the Lord has spoken so agree by aligning yourself to the truth. Then resist the lie of the devil that says it is impossible.

“Yes the Holy Spirit says resist the voice of doubt and unbelief that says that is impossible and agree with the Holy Spirit’s voice saying be part of history being created in your life in Jesus name. Amen.”

I pray that as these words register in your heart the grace contained in them will empower you to receive them. Then incubate them in your life to bring forth the fruit the Holy Spirit has ordained that no eye has not seen, nor ear has not heard, nor have entered the heart of man the things God has prepared at this time of the miraculous for you in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit spoke to me today in my communion time about the importance of choosing to be cheerful regardless of the situation you find yourself in.

“Now first of all no situation should determine how you respond and react to what happens because life events are never to be the determinants of your conduct.”

“Spiritual maturity is birthed when no natural event affects the way we respond in any given situation no matter its impact on us.”

The Holy Spirit reminded me of the Apostle Paul on his journey to Rome in the book of Acts.27 & 28. The circumstances Paul faced were not determined by Paul because if Paul had the choice of events he would not have proceeded on that journey because his foreknowledge of the events coming through the Holy Spirit would have made him not travel at that time to save himself loss.

I am so thankful for the foreknowledge, lifegiving advice and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Since the apostle Paul did not choose the events which went on to happen we could say that if he was angry. He was well within his rights to respond rudely, even abusive and it would have been justifiable. This is because if he had been listened to this level of trauma, hurt including the loss they faced could have been avoided.

We need to put ourselves into the scene of the event. Just think of it: fourteen days being pitch black with no sun or moon or stars not knowing when day broke. In the midst of the sea being tossed in a ship, with that level of hurricane winds. No wonder the others on the ship concluded that any hope of making it out was lost and knew death was inevitable.

In that horrific situation we find Paul still cheerful and bubbly, even offering a solution to the devastating situation by giving hope that they will come out victorious with no loss of life, but only the ship. They went on to land safely on an Island because he had a visitation from an angel of the Lord whom he served faithfully telling him what would go on to happen, even though nothing in the circumstances had changed yet.

Paul chose to remain cheerful and bubbly with great peace in that situation regardless of who caused it because his life was not dependent on what had happened but was hidden in Christ Jesus whom he served. He was convinced that only his relationship with Christ was going to affect his life. Since Jesus said Paul will live, that was going to happen and everything was going to line up with that reality.

As the Holy Spirit pointed out to me this morning we need to choose to be cheerful regardless because nothing can separate us from the love of God working for and in us.

“So we have no need to be depressed, worried and upset by anything because we have endless eternal life working on our behalf so we cannot but succeed because our Lord will bring us out triumphant and victorious.”

“Therefore today as you hear these words of truth, submit to the truth by laying down the lie. Then choose on purpose to be cheerful and bubbly again by allowing the joy of the Lord to spring up in you afresh as you come out of every threatening situation with an outburst of joy unspeakable full of glory.”

“Experience the awesome power of the Most High working for you.”

Rejoice in the Lord and again I say rejoice in the Lord and be consumed in His cheerfulness and say bye bye to sorrow and sighing and watch what the Holy Spirit will do on your behalf that will bring honor and glory to the name of Jesus. Philippians.4:4.

“Remember you have the choice how to respond, so use your choices wisely by being cheerful and bubbly as Paul chose then you will have the same triumphant results for your wise choice in Jesus name. Amen.”

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time which for me is a time of discovery and deeper revelation of things I don’t know including the ways of the Lord. This time reveals to me the strategies to achieve and accomplish the plans of God already prepared for my life to enable me live out a vibrant and productive fruitful life in Jesus.

I love and cherish this communion time with the Holy Spirit more than anything else in life because it is life changing bringing supernatural ability and the miraculous realm into my life circumstances. Always remember it only takes just a single word from the Holy Spirit to change the most difficult situation in a second to make all things new by making the impossible a reality.

While you stand and watch in awe as He makes it real right before your eyes. Thank you so much Holy Spirit for your faithful help and assistance to us that makes us fruitful and productive on earth.

Let me continue the dialogue I had with the Holy Spirit about Him bringing to birth and then not being able to complete the process and why we should never entertain that thought in our minds and allow such poison to affect our relationship with the Lord. Isaiah.66:9.

This is because the Lord actually wants us to share in this conversation with Him so we could have a clear perspective of how He thinks and processes things so we can follow Him more clearly without any confusion.

When the Lord spoke to Moses on the mountain He said make sure you build according to the pattern that was shown you on the Mountain. Meaning that on the mountain what Moses saw was not ambiguous and riddle driven that Moses could not comprehend it. It was clear to Moses what God wanted built.

God wants us to know exactly what He requires of us and will even send the message again just so that we do not make a mistake in our interpretation of it. The instruction for Samson’s life was repeated to his dad by the angel as he asked for the way the child should be raised. Judges.13:8-14.

The whole purpose and role of the Holy Spirit is to guide us into all truth which means nothing of the truth should be left out. The Holy Spirit wants us in a place where no lies are able to affect and harm us but where the whole truth is available to us so we can be free to serve the Lord fully.John.8:31 & 32.

The Holy Spirit wants us to know the events of the future so we can walk in the know and not be in the dark about anything. The Lord pointed out in Amos.3:7 that before He does anything He first reveals it to His friends the Prophets and says before it springs up. The Lord reveals it so we know what to expect and can prepare correctly for the event.

I remember the season where the Lord showed me a series of events about the Government of Sierra Leone on an everyday basis and all He said happened exactly as He revealed. The Holy Spirit did the same thing with me about Botswana, the USA, Nigeria and even China. These visions involved changes in policy and administration in those nations that the Holy Spirit pointed out would change.

The Holy Spirit knows the events of the future and reveals them to us so we are not caught by surprise or off guard and destroyed in the process by the enemy. John.16:13-15. There is no earthly surveillance system comparable to the Holy Spirit who knows everything. This is because He also has everything on hand to destroy, remove, change and replace whatever is necessary to bring it back in line with His purpose and plan so that Jesus is glorified.

As it says the Lord raised Pharaoh with such power so that He could show how much greater He God was when He defeated him so that men would know just how great the Lord is by seeing what He could accomplish against a mighty foe.

“Know this truth and never forget it. The Holy Spirit is here to give us the advantage of knowing events of the future ahead of time so we are not swept away in the foolishness of men by empowering us make changes to be free in the midst of the worst possible situations in life.”

I have heard men of God say that we will always have a judas to deal with in ministry so expect to deal with the loss. However the Holy Spirit said to me true but, judas did not destroy Jesus’ ministry by his betrayal because Jesus knew he was a betrayer from the beginning.

Hence Jesus was not surprised at what he did ,but even said to him that which you do, do quickly as he went to betray him. Not after committing so much to him that enabled him to reduce your ministry to nothing, then say we all have to deal with a judas when the ministry is gone. Matthew.26:21.

The Holy Spirit had revealed every event to Jesus ahead of time so He was not taken by surprise. Therefore Jesus was not hurt in any situation. Jesus went into every situation completely in the know by revelation of the Holy Spirit and was never caught out in the dark right up to the moment He was arrested and said to the disciples, my betrayer is at hand let us get up for this next phase I will suffer.Matthew.26:46.

We need to above all things have such a union with the Holy Spirit that nothing takes us off course because the Holy Spirit has already shown us future events. So we are only walking out what has been prepared by the Lord for us.

The Apostle Paul walked in this in Acts.27:10 when He said I perceive this voyage will be a disaster with loss of the ship, the cargo and lives so we should not go on it. The future event was revealed to Paul and it happened exactly as He saw except that because of him the lives of the people were all saved.

Look at the revelation of the famine Agabus saw in the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts.11:28 which went on to happen, but because of foreknowledge revealed by Agabus through the Holy Spirit the disciples were provided for before time and did not die of hunger and starvation.

I told my unsaved family at the time that I saw us all in our home in Freetown Sierra Leone, three of us at that point were in the UK , one in Botswana and one in Freetown with no plan to be in Sierra Leone at that time. However, in less than a month of receiving that vision we were all in that home in Freetown as the Holy Spirit had revealed. I vividly remember their expression when they related that I had said it less than a month before by revelation of the Holy Spirit in the home in Freetown.

I pray today that as you hear these truths about the Holy Spirit revealing future events to you grace will be supplied to you to pursue fellowship with the Holy Spirit so that you will be in the know about future events in your life and be prepared to experience the mighty hand of the Lord to save and deliver you and keep you from all evil.

The Holy Spirit if you are willing to surrender to Him will show you your daily events and what you will be doing in the events including what miracles He will involve you in so you can share in the might of God’s hand. It is time for you to be a partaker in the good works God prepared beforehand that you might walk in them and glorify His Holy Name. May that be your portion in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning the Holy Spirit reminded me of the faithfulness of the Father to fulfill what He has promised. The Holy Spirit wants to know why we think anything else will happen other than what God has said will happen? Does the Holy Spirit listen to the voice of those opposing us or those who are angry or jealous of us to determine whether He will do what He said or not? Is the Holy Spirit dependent on what people say or think before He can fulfill the promise He said? Psalm.89:33-37.

“The Holy Spirit made it perfectly clear to me that nothing created can stop Him doing in our lives what Jesus promised. However our thought pattern and unbelief on the matter can hinder the work of manifestation of the hand of God on our behalf. For this reason we need to watch out and make sure we are lining up with thus saith the Lord rather than thus saith our adversary.”

We should never yield to the fear of our enemies because it is a reflection of our questioning of God’s ability to pull off what He said. Psalm.46:1-7.

The Holy Spirit spoke these words to me from Isaiah.66:9 from the voice translation which reads these words: Will I open the womb and not deliver? I have made this place labor in terrible pain, But do you think I won’t help it give birth? That is what I, the Eternal One, have to say.

In this scripture we are brought into a conversation that is going on with the Lord, and we are now listening to God give His thoughts on what is happening and how He views this event. I learnt a long time ago that what God thinks and speaks is always true. So those are the things we must adopt and do regardless of what we thought or believed previously.

I have learnt to always change my mind instantly when I know what God thinks about any matter and line up with His will because this always means. I will live to experience what He is saying if I only line up with Him. Ezekiel.37:1-10.

Let’s dive into the heart of God expressed here because there is so much life, love and might flowing from His words that lifts even dust to live as beauty again. “The womb God said I created to bring forth children not to prevent children being birthed, so why would I open the womb and not deliver the baby?” “We are to consider that fact carefully and make a decision on what we choose to believe about it.”

Remember Sarah the wife of Abraham who was barren and only conceived at 90 years old and who caused her to birth Issac. Was it Abraham suddenly gaining extraordinary might and wisdom that reversed her barrenness? No, certainly not, it was this same God who said to both of them that they would have a son the next year even though both Abraham and Sarah were in shock and almost could not believe it.

However since God created the womb to bear children He could easily reactivate Sarah’s barren womb to easily carry Issac and bring Him to birth which she went on to do.

“God created the womb to deliver children and delivering is what the womb will do period. We only need to believe this because God does not change the function of something to spite or hurt us.”

“We need to settle that reality in our hearts and minds. Jesus remains the same yesterday, today and forever. He does not change.”Hebrews.13:8.

“ He remains faithful to what He created by saying what He wanted it to do and it must obey His orders.” No questions asked. “I God made this place labor in pain. I watched what pain and agony has been expended in this process to where you are now.

The struggles you have worked through, the attacks you have weathered, the storms of life you have triumphed over and now you are at the finish line. Will I God now faint, lose My strength, power and might. Am I now unable to see you through to manifest the promise.

Why do you entertain the thought that the Lord will not come through for you. Jesus often said to people why do you take that thought, saying, after you heard what I just said to you. Peter like us all fell to negative thoughts immediately after he accepted Jesus’ invitation to come walk on the water which Peter actually did do.

Jesus asked him when he accepted a contrary thought, why did you doubt, you should not have allowed that negative thought to take over what you had originally believed Jesus said. Never change the original God word to line up with what would make you fail which began to transpire with him and ended with him beginning to sink. Matthew.14:28-32.

“You see God always wants us to believe right to the end because we are sure that His nature and character never changes. He will always faithfully come through on His promise to us.” “That thought that He will never fail us about anything He is and says He will do or created something to do a job will never fail. ”So we must remain steadfast to hold onto His word to us because it will come to pass.

Have you noticed that the sun has outlived every human on the earth and has never run short on any fuel to make it continually work regardless of what has happened on earth. The sun has fulfilled its assignment on the earth faithfully without any help from man to make it run smoothly daily for man on the earth.

This is because when God spoke it into being He placed in it everything necessary to last throughout generations and provide all things necessary for harvests to manifest on behalf of man.

That is what God had to say when man doubted His creative ability concerning the womb bringing forth when challenged that it will not happen. “From God’s view the matter was settled but the Holy Spirit needed man’s cooperation to birth a nation in a day which is what God had determined would happen and all God needed was our agreement not our negative thoughts to complicate and hinder things coming through speedily.”

The Holy Spirit wants you today as you hear these words to lay hold of the grace flowing through them to agree with Him. Then step out of doubt and negative thoughts on God’s ability to perform and birth His promise to you. Believe wholeheartedly and accept without question the unswerving, immutable counsel of God concerning you. Hebrews.6:15-18.

“Laugh out boldly in the face of any obstacle and ridicule that your enemy raises to say you will come short and not birth what God decreed over you. Then go ahead march fully convinced, completely into your promise from the Lord with absolute confidence in full assurance that the One you trusted is faithful. Knowing He will keep what He has promised you faithfully in Jesus name.”

“ Repent for ever yielding to the thoughts of doubt concerning God’s ability to birth for you what He promised. Then get back to the place of complete trust in His ability to do for you exceedingly abundantly above all you could ask or think according to His power at work in you.” Ephesians.3:20

Remember God’s power will not work in you when you accommodate by harbouring the thoughts of the enemy to question God’s ability to help you birth what He has promised you.

“We need to remain steadfast in our belief in what God has said and intends to do, which He God will certainly accomplish for the glory of His name. Go ahead and throw out those negative thoughts and remain immovable about what God said He will do and accomplish for You.

Now go ahead to experience the full measure of God’s plan for you with nothing missing and nothing broken in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him reminded me of the two primary goals of my life and existence. In Proverbs.3:21 from the Passion translation it reads these beautiful words: My child, never drift off course from these two goals for your life: to walk in wisdom and to discover your purpose. Don’t ever forget how they empower you. The Holy Spirit reminded me that to walk in wisdom is far more precious than to walk in billions of money and resources.

Jesus we are told in Luke.2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. Jesus the word of God Himself made manifest needed to increase in wisdom which points to the fact that He had to seek it out by posturing Himself to ask it of God with a sincere and willing heart and go for it. “Wisdom must be pursued by the individual who wants it.” “It is not just downloaded automatically.”

“Every increased wisdom I have walked in has come after a hard pursuit for God and what He wants.”

The fact that His wisdom increased points us to the reality that gaining wisdom is an ongoing process which we need to engage with to lay hold of all its benefits. The increase in His wisdom also increased His stature as a man of God in His rightful standing and place on the earth as a major force to be reckoned with.

The favor He had both with God and then men was taken to much higher levels as His wisdom increased and impacted society in far more profound and indelible ways which could not be denied by all who faced Him.

This principle of an increase in wisdom and the knowledge of God is reiterated by the Apostle Paul in Philippians.3:9-11 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

The continual pursuit of knowing God is the major goal of the apostle Paul not the amount of souls he won, the bodies he healed, this is so that Paul’s life would reflect Jesus His Master and not Paul and his ambition as a nation shaker .

Jesus goes on to emphasize this truth again in the book of Revelation when He speaks to John about the Church in Ephesus. Revelation.2:4 & 5 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. Jesus commends them for all the works they are doing but warns them about their pursuit and love of Him diminishing.

Jesus describes it as fallen away from what truly matters and makes clear coming back to that posture and seeking closeness to Him and the wisdom of God the priority not the side issue or they will be removed from the position of light.

We must always remember that Jesus called us first to follow Him not ministry or position but Him and from that position He would make us fishers of men. ”We are not fishers of men without continuing to follow Jesus diligently.” “Our first love, devotion and dedication must be to follow Him to know and understand Him more by being what He wants us to be, not what men want us to do and be for them.”

This must be the primary goal for our lives not how many we reach or save for Jesus but to know Him and have His wisdom being the driving force behind our lives because that will keep us firmly rooted in Him, His nature and Character not the building of our own empires for men to see and glorify us for having built.

“Our pursuit for wisdom and purpose are two goals from which we should never drift because they are the bedrock on which our lives in God are framed.”

Any deviation from that path, for personal goal achieving and following will result in losses of the whole plan of God for our lives and end us up shipwrecked from God’s intention for us unless we can repent.

The Holy Spirit always warns us of impending dangers and paths and places we are walking that are dangerous and seeks to give us a way out to come back into position and line with God’s prescribed way forward.

I pray that as these words touch your heart and awaken your righteous soul back to the place of seeking first the wisdom of the Kingdom which is Jesus and His righteousness then all the other things you need will be added to you.

Don’t seek the other things first, seek a closer union and fellowship with the Holy Spirit to increase your wisdom and you will go much further with deeper insight into what the Lord has assigned for you to do.

May you find the grace of God in these words that will propel you to take action on these words to repent and turn back to having a passionate pursuit of the wisdom of God for your lives. As the apostle Paul prayed emphatically in Ephesians.1 and Colossians.1 for the Spirit of wisdom to direct and determine how we walk out the plan of God for our lives, and not through our ability or gifting.

May the grace supplied by the Holy Spirit today empower you for a much greater and higher service of increased wisdom of God as the purpose of God drives you into the rich fulfilment of God’s ultimate plan for your life in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning wants me to share with you a secret about the importance of your heart not being troubled or disturbed regardless of what you face or encounter in your life experience. This is because whatever stand your heart takes will determine the course you follow and the final outcome in any given situation.

This morning the Holy Spirit wants me to share from John.14:1-4 which reads: “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house there are many mansions; if it were not so, ]I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

Firstly we see here that Jesus points out that we have control over our hearts actions and reactions. Jesus points out clearly that we must not allow our hearts to be troubled which means our hearts cannot just be troubled arbitrarily. We have to make a choice on how our heart responds to any given situation. So if your heart is troubled you allowed the wrong influence to have the effect of troubling you.

Jesus from this word expects us not to permit our hearts to be troubled because it is likely that we will make rash decisions that will cost us much from a troubled, concerned, worried heart. “This truth is vital to our very existence because nothing can make your heart react except you allow it in your heart.”

“You are the person responsible for how your heart responds to situations that arise in life.”

The disciples of Jesus are about to experience something completely different in regard to their Master that they had never seen happen before. Jesus was going to surrender Himself to be killed by crucifixion which demonstrated a defeat in the natural.

From the time they started following Jesus they had never seen Him defeated in any situation or arrested before so this was going to trouble their hearts because He was going to die and leave them.

What was going to become of them because they had invested everything they had of their hearts and life to trust Him and follow His way of life. However now He was going to die and leave them orphaned.

Jesus was clearly pointing out to them before the event that though they did not understand what was happening, seemingly contrary to the plan of God they should not let this situation rob their hearts of peace.

This is because they should rely on His character and nature which they had experienced and known fully who they trusted and had given their hearts over to would remain faithful and would certainly come through for them even in a situation involving death because He had already said it to them. I will be raised on the third day.

“This heart stance is what the Holy Spirit expects us to have in every situation no matter what is happening because it clearly proves our complete dependence in heart on God and total reliance on what He has said.”

“The Lord wants us to trust Him with all our heart and not lean in anyway on our own understanding.”Proverbs.3:5 & 6.

This reality of our heart trust will always be tested by God so we know exactly what is in our hearts. Our life results will be dependent on how our hearts respond to situations which will rise up against the knowledge of God. Whether we are troubled in heart and fall to our lower self or refuse to be moved in heart by still believing will determine our outcome of victory or defeat.

In life you will face situations that will speak contrary to God’s plan for your life however you have the control as to how your heart chooses to respond in that situation. The Holy Spirit wants you to realize that you need not allow your heart to be troubled but to rest in the infallible and immutable will of God which will never lie with you coming out victorious and triumphant with another demonstration of the awesomeness of God’s power working on your behalf.

So today as you hear these words concerning your heart choice submit to the grace that enables you to say I trust. Then refuse on purpose to let your heart be troubled by boldly declaring I am coming out triumphant because my heart trusts implicitly in the Lord. That is my choice and faith stand come high water, low water or no water at all. “My heart chooses not to be troubled.”

“ This truth will keep you in a place of stability of heart in the Lord which is necessary to win in life. Then remember the words of Mary to the servant at the wedding feast in Canaan: whatever Jesus says to do just do it and all will be well no matter what.”John.2:5.

So remove every troubling thing in your heart and rest your heart fully on the knowledge of God who says worry not and see how life circumstances shift for you as you regain your position in life again in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants me to share further on our need to trust more what He says for our lives more than the things Men’s experts say. In my communion time with the Holy Spirit I am only able to share part of the whole picture of what He shares with me that is pertinent to what you would need to strengthen and equip you each day. This is to give you the impetus to take action to start moving in the things of the Kingdom of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit wants you to start bearing the fruit that Jesus pointed out we should have. In John.15:8 we are told these words by Jesus: By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. From these words we understand that Jesus expects that a disciple of His should be a fruit bearer.

“It is not enough to be only a word hearer of Jesus because following Jesus is worthy of bearing fruit and we have that responsibility to bring forth fruit worthy of the Lord.”

The father is glorified when we bear much fruit. The things of the Kingdom and service to Jesus are not abstract; they are real and are measured by bearing fruit. Jesus told every disciple that He chose to follow Him that He will make them fishers of men.

As a follower of Jesus you will have noticed that everything Jesus asks us to do has a reward attached to it. He did not say follow Me and you will become a better person, more upright and that will be sufficient. Jesus’s intention is that we will be able to catch men for the Kingdom.

Your nature and character when following Jesus will change dramatically because you will become a worker of righteousness because He is righteous and hates lawlessness. Hebrews.1:9.However the end result is that you will bring fruit into the Kingdom. Jesus works on our character and nature so that our spirits are connected to Him and not human nature or that of the devil.

The Holy Spirit sets us apart for service to Jesus and this involves separation from many things and people. 1 Peter.1:2.The Holy Spirit first works at separating us from the things that hold us bound and captive which includes family. The ways in which we were trained to think and do things which will always be an obstacle to obeying the Lord. 1 Peter.1:18. This is because the ways of the Lord are completely different from our ways. We must forsake our old ways of thinking in order to take hold of God’s way of thinking and doing things in order to become a fruit bearer. Isaiah.55:7-9.

I remember when I got saved in 1989 and had a burning passion for spending time in the bible. I loved studying the word to get to know and understand what God was requiring of me as a person to serve Him. As I grew in my knowledge of the word people constantly told me: Do you know that you are a teacher of the scripture? Christians always sought to give me titles.

However the Holy Spirit comforted me by telling me that I was only a follower of Jesus which meant I would have in my life all that was needed to follow Him fully. This was opposed to what Christians said I was and what in their opinion I could have which would limit my service to Jesus and make me a man pleaser.

“We are called to follow Jesus first and foremost. This process of following Him never comes to an end.”

“We never reach a point where we become Master and take over Jesus by becoming leader. That is a dangerous place to be when we begin to lead ourselves and cut out the voice of the Holy Spirit.”

This scripture in 1Peter.1:2 which reads: elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace be multiplied. The pursuit of sanctification of the Spirit became my goal as the Holy Spirit pointed out to me that regardless of my election by foreknowledge of God if the sanctification of the Holy Spirit did not happen in me I would be disqualified and have nothing but words that I am elected, but no fruit of that election in my life.

“I realized that the process of sanctification which simply means being separated from and set apart to Holiness in God did not happen on a continuous basis I would miss out.”

This process of sanctification went on to separate me from my family and everything I held dear which was of value in worldly terms. The Holy Spirit worked with me to set me apart to a new way of thinking, processing and doing things according to God’s pattern. Believe me they are completely different. However God’s ways which are truth always bring freedom which remains and much fruit in life as a reward.

In following the Lord everything I needed for life and Godliness was supplied to me and not just gifts of the Spirit which are only necessary for individual situations like healing. The greatest reward was to have the Holy Spirit’s friendship and union, which means I could have His ability available every time no matter what is required because He is the Owner of everything God has and has the mandate to manifest them at any time to glorify Jesus.

“We are trees of righteousness so we must bear fruits of righteousness, not gifts of power that produce lawlessness.” We are the planting of the Lord so He is glorified. Isaiah.61:3b.

“Well that is the job of the Holy Spirit to glorify Jesus alone and bring Him the fruit worthy of His name through our lives being surrendered to Him.”John.16:14.

“A final warning: don’t let people label you no matter what God does through your life because that label will become your limitation and point of regression.”

When I first visited America to minister I was called a healing Evangelist because healings happened in my meetings, then the Holy Spirit started prophesying through me and they called me Prophet, the Holy Spirit started working deliverance through me and they called me a deliverance minister.

When the Holy Spirit started working miracles through me they called me a miracle worker. I thank God that the Holy Spirit said to me don’t take anything they say you are but just follow Me by letting Me have My way in your life and whatever is necessary for peoples lives I will provide while you will continue to grow in the Lord through the power of His might.

I pray today that as you have heard these words the grace supplied through them will enable you to rise above the situations you are finding it difficult to separate from by making the necessary separation.

May you be free to walk with the Holy Spirit so you will experience such freedom that you will ask yourself why I did not do this earlier because I could have saved myself so much pain and sorrow staying with what held me captive.

Let your life be set apart to what the Holy Spirit wants for you which is a fruitful life which is what following His voice will bring you to. “

The Holy Spirit will truly make you fruitful for Jesus because that is His responsibility and He never fails in His faithfulness to do His work.” Rise up today and separate from what is killing you and be set apart to what will lift and elevate you in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning wants you to recollect to mind every word that He has spoken concerning your life that has not come to pass as yet. He wants you to begin the process of again bringing to the forefront of your mind things that have eluded you and things you are certain in your mind will not happen for you again which you have placed firmly on the back burner of your life. Before I continue let me remind you of the Person of the Holy Spirit that is requesting you to make this shift in your thinking.

In John.14:25 & 26 we read these words “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.

Jesus was conscious of the fact that as time passes by we would forget many of the things God spoke to us because they never came to pass or we just forget them as various incidents in life happened to question their validity in our lives or satan does things in our circumstances that makes their reality look impossible.

Whichever of these causes us to lose consciousness of what the Lord has spoken, be assured the Holy Spirit never forgets what Jesus promised us. He will supernaturally bring it back to our remembrance when the time for manifestation comes round and believe me it will surely come with the necessary help to position us to receive it.

In the prophecy that God gives to Zechariah in Zechariah.4:1 & 2 which reads: Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep. 2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” He had gone to sleep about what the Lord had said concerning him and he literally forgot it.

The Lord brought it back to mind so that His word could come to pass in this life by reviving it in him afresh as a person awakened from sleep. This also goes on to happen for Zerubbabel who began the process of rebuilding the Temple which had ceased due to a satanic attack which prevented him working on it for a time. However, though this word of prophecy he was going to be stirred up again to go to the Temple site to finish that work he started with shouts of grace, grace to it.

In the process of rebuilding the necessary wisdom, ability and strength was added to empower them to finish the God plan. Let’s look at Zechariah.4:5-10 and see how the Holy Spirit provides a new way to complete what had started but now left uncompleted. Just look at the words He spoke to Zerubbabel to stir him to action.

In Zechariah.4:6 & 7 we read these words: So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.7 ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”

This same Person of the Holy Spirit who worked with Zerubbabel to bring down mountains to accomplish the will of God with divine ability to complete a work that had been stopped by force.

Zerubbabel now has the fortitude and supernatural ability to get back to action through the Holy Spirit bringing to remembrance the plan of God with a might and power which cannot be stopped. This is because the word of the Lord remains eternally and cannot be thwarted, stopped or hindered. 1 John.2:17.

Well today it is the same Holy Spirit saying to me to you today to awaken from your sleep over the words He has spoken over you in the past to posture yourself in word and deed to see the manifestation of the word of the Lord in your life.

Let the words of the Lord be revived in your hearts as new sparks of grace that drive through to accomplishment and fulfilment of God’s plan become the pattern of life for you. Let this abundant grace overtake you so that just as Zerubbabel experienced mountain moving ability to overcome every obstacle to finish the Temple he had started.

In like manner you will find that level of grace and more to bring you through to the finish line of the words God spoke over your life so that the name of Jesus will be glorified in your life just as He said it will.

I pray that the grace of the Lord you experience in this miraculous working will remain as the standard and turning point in your life that you will always be able to look back to as you laugh at any new challenge that seeks to threaten you again, because you are fully persuaded about the outstanding ability of God working in your life in Jesus name to conclude the work He started in you. Amen.
