The Holy Spirit in my communion time with Him said: today you need to listen to My voice in order that you may grow in wisdom. He reminded me that even Jesus increased in wisdom and stature which resulted in extra favour with God and men. Luke.2:40

So how much more do we need God’s wisdom each day to grow and it is the cumulative progression of each day of the wisdom we receive and imbibe which is building in us that will result in our growth in the Spirit. This will result in a greater level of God’s favour we will be able to walk in.

The Holy Spirit pointed out that it is through the wisdom from God we receive and walk in that our hearts will be drawn into understanding of God’s ways. This reality in turn is what empowers us to make the right decisions which means we will have God sized results.

“

Never minimize the impact of what increased wisdom will do in your lives. It is priceless, so go after it with all your heart”

Our lives are then laden with miraculous results which keep on becoming greater each day and have far greater impact on those around us and impact lives for the kingdom of Jesus of which there is no end to its expansion.

As Jesus pointed out to the Jews who questioned His authenticity in John.5:20 when He said and ”greater works than these will my Father do that will cause you to marvel.” Jesus answered His critics with a demonstration of greater miracles that just absolutely startled them.

So my beloved decide today to listen more attentively and closely to the direction and leading of the Holy Spirit and do whatever He says to do daily and watch your progression in the Spirit rise and your understanding of the Spirit make you take decisions that Lift you up and remove shame and disgrace off you and cause you to walk in greater glory by the power of the Holy Spirit. Isaiah.25:8

Let the grace in these words take a hold of you and propel you into having a God measured day full of rich fulfillment in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit in my communion time this morning reminded me of this conversation with Him about questions we have in our hearts and what we need to do to resolve these niggling issues that potentially become strongholds against us if we do not respond to them correctly and allow them to brew in our hearts, as many of you are in that place now.

So today the questions you have for the Lord that you ask anyway in your subconscious the Lord wants you to voice them to Him so that you remove any uncertainty from your trust and rest your hope fully on what the Lord has said rather than the unanswered question of the heart.

When a question remains unanswered in your heart it is breeding ground for double mindedness which your enemy loves, and you know that being double minded means you will not receive anything from the Lord. James.1:6-8 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Your confidence in God and His ability to do for you is vital in your trust walk and in effect guarantees you will not let go even under the severest pressure that comes to steal the word from you.

It is far more important to resolve your query with the Lord than leave it unattended in your heart. Remember the heart is deceitful above all things and loves fantasy stories which the enemy is always willing to supply on demand as long as that will cause you to leave the path of the Lord.

Let the Holy Spirit confirm in your heart whatever questions you have and correct anything amiss and keep you in line with the promise you are headed towards. This keeps you focused on the important things you must give attention to do, rather than just drifting along without purpose.

I have found that letting the Holy Spirit know your weakness and concern means He can supply you with more grace to overcome whatever shows up in opposition against the plan of God.

On several occasions I have told the Holy Spirit that I am struggling to believe that things will turn from impossible to possible when the pressure has been very severe. I have then asked Him to help my unbelief so that at this last moment I do not compromise my result by saying or doing something stupid or rash.

On each of these occasions He has helped me by giving me more tenacity, more strength to pray and cover more ground, sometimes wisdom to take an action that stuns the enemy and many times a greater peace that comes which defies every obstacle and laughs at the face of the challenge.

There is no specific way I can say He always uses, but He gives an answer that brings the solution. Therefore it is best to always ask Him for help and not presume you know His heart.

Jesus described the Holy Spirit in John.14 as a Helper and that is His nature to offer help and the necessary counsel out of every situation. The Holy Spirit knows everything including what your enemy is doing and planning against you and has ways to reduce enemy plans to nothing and give you insight to stay away from the area of attack and even enable you to scale and go through the attack coming out unharmed as He did with Shadrack, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace that was heated seven times hotter because they refused to bow.

He also has the power to change the nature of animals as He did for Elijah causing ravens to bring him burgers each day in a season of famine. Also with Daniel when lions became his friends and provided a comforting pillow for his head while in their den because He refused to bow.

In real terms the Holy Spirit has every possible answer you could ever need in any and every situation to bring you out, but you must request it of Him. Never fear to ask the Holy Spirit what to do and how to do it and wait for His answer.

Never prejudge what you think the Holy Spirit will say but wait for what He says, as most times it will be often far outside what you thought, so do not presume on Him as He will not honor your presumption.

So today ask the Holy Spirit any questions you have and settle your heart with the Lord and have the necessary confidence and assurance you need.

Faith is not presumption, it is knowing Jesus authored what you are expecting and will fulfill it by bringing it to pass in real life and the Holy Spirit is with you to help you inherit everything Jesus wants you to experience and do on earth for His name sake that brings Him glory. Your life will dramatically change as you imbibe this reality and allow this grace to work in your life Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him spoke to me that He wants to release and free all those who have been taken captive as hostages, kidnapped and robbed of destiny.

As I was worshiping and meditating on the word He gave me for today He pointed out to me that He wanted to release those who had been kidnapped and taken captive through various situations that occurred in the past where you were led astray by various so called lucrative offers that seemed too good to pass on and these had brought you into a place where there seems to be no return passage out of.

I will now explain further the word the Holy Spirit gave me so you have a truth reality concept upon which you can stand when your deliverance is contested.

As long as we are in this world everything God says or does for us can and will be contested and we need to build a fortress of defense around every deliverance the Lord gives us so that when it is challenged we do not cave into the pressure and go back into prison or bondage.

When I started out following Jesus the Holy Spirit He took me through Psalm.2 as my defense for everything He had taught me. In Psalm.2:1-3 we read these words: Why do the nations rage,And the people plot a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves,And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, 3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”

The Holy Spirit went on to teach me that so many years before Jesus walked the earth in ministry this plan was set up against Him by satan which He would need to face and defeat and this fact is reiterated by Peter in Acts.4 where they as His disciples come under attack. The same attack for speaking in the name of Jesus and are threatened not to speak in His name.

They flatly refuse to heed the words of men and gain a new boldness to speak by the Holy Spirit and go on to manifest higher levels of God’s glory. Let this be your stance in every opposition to the will of God against your life. “I refuse to bow to anything but the word of Jesus to me.”

This understanding meant I knew from day one that no matter what God said to me men controlled by satan would challenge it. This is because satan is against the plan of God and will stir whoever has natural power or authority to seek to stop your advancement in the Kingdom and threaten you to cease believing and bow to the pressure to quit and come under bondage.

Through this understanding the Holy Spirit gave me truth that meant I built a defense against all assaults satan would send my way to cause me to detour from the plan of Jesus for my life.

Jesus is able to free us in an instant at any time but our ability to keep the deliverance is what is necessary for us to build up and maintain so we don’t slide back into bondage.

The Holy Spirit wants you to be ready to receive your freedom today but wants you armed with fortification not to ever lose again what you have gained from the Lord and become kidnapped and a hostage of satan who is robbed of their destiny.

As I meditated on Proverbs.5:23 in the Passion translation which reads Those who choose wickedness die for lack of self-control, for their foolish ways lead them astray, carrying them away as hostages kidnapped captives robbed of destiny.

The Holy Spirit clearly pointed out to me that many had been kidnapped as captives which means they had no chance of escape because they were somehow ambushed into a place they were caught and could not help it. For this very reason the Holy Spirit is going to release you as He did Peter in Acts.12 from the prison of Herod.

“This time however with the added support built into your heart through the word of the Holy Spirit that means you will not be taken again captive by kidnapping, because you have the word of the Lord to sustain you and empower you to resist all attempts to scare and drive you to submission.”

“You will no longer lose your deliverance but will keep it and become a beacon of light to a dying world and an emblem of praise to the name of Jesus.”

Therefore today take heed to these words and embrace the grace released through them and rise up and out from the prisons, dungeons and sequestered places you have been driven to and come into the glory of the covenant Jesus has prepared for you in His Kingdom and walk in the fullness of life.

May you today be so released that your freedom speaks so loud and clear that others see just how much the Lord has done to rescue you that they confess His Lordship and glorify His name in your lives as you demonstrate His power through signs, wonders and miracles in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time reminded me to share with you the importance and priority of setting time on purpose to meet with Him to be taught and instructed in righteousness as your daily habit. 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 you would plan each day to go to work for your employer.

You will not be lazy in being at work on time because you are looking at the salary your boss will give you each month 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 Him as that shows how valuable you think Him to be to you and your commitment is demonstrated in what you are willing to do to please Him.

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.

Now we know that Jesus was sent to help people because the Father sent Him 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 His 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.

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 other things will be added unto us. He 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.

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 ministry of the word to people which is exactly what they observed their Master Jesus do and saw how successful that was and followed suit.

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 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 and see how your life will again begin to take the God shape and progress more rapidly and produce much more fruit as your priority shifts back to your original practice to withdraw and be filled with the Holy Spirit and come out loaded with the Presence and power of God that will change lives eternally and expand His 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 to 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.

This morning the Holy Spirit ministered to me in my communion time saying; To the person who feels like good has been eluding you and answers of peace don’t seem to be working for you and the evil situation seems to just continue and there seems no way out.

Jesus says to you this morning no matter who has not helped you or supported your cause,but laughs at your plight.

Would you be made whole again?

Put the reasons for failure aside, Jesus is here now with a new beginning.

Can you accept and receive His hand reaching out to you now.

Please don’t let the excuses that have hindered you speak of failure for you any longer.

Jesus has a mission for you today, and that is to get up and out of that lie that your situation will never change.

Today is as the miracle Jesus performed on the man in John.5:8 who got up and was totally healed as Jesus commanded Him and he obeyed.

So today as you hear this word and get up,and whatever had held you bound or kept you in that position for these years will leave you and you will walk free today and experience a changed life free from that scene of defeat and shame you have lived in.

Receive the grace in this word today and experience years of pain vanish and your freedom restored back to you and you being able to live again in Jesus Name.

Rise in the strength of the Lord today in Jesus Name. Amen

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time reminded me of Hebrews.12:1 & 2 which reads these words 12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

The Holy Spirit emphasized the reality of what surrounds our lives which is a cloud of witnesses who have stories of triumph which God did for their lives that rain down miraculous answers for any situation that can possibly rise up against us or which we may face that seek to rob us of our peace and the plan of God for our lives. There is a solution for every problem which the Lord has covered before. We can glean from and hold onto this to see us through every possible attack or opposition to the knowledge of God concerning our lives fulfilling the plan of the Lord for us.

Let us therefore investigate the reality of this promise with the Holy Spirit and ensure we are receiving the blessings within it ordained for our glory. Firstly we must realize that the great cloud of witnesses are proof holders and sharers/partakers in what they have experienced when faced with obstacles that almost took them out, but where God stepped in and brought them out by a miraculous intervention which startled the enemy that had come against them.

They have a story of glory which is evidence that can be used in court to decide the outcome of any similar case because it has become the precedent to guide judgment for all other cases covering that area in life.

Let this reality saturate your being and take over your thoughts so you can be in position to lay hold and receive all the Father has determined for you to have in this season. We are told in scripture that satan is the accuser of the brethren Revelation.12:10 and does this accusing day and night.

However we are told that we must overcome him and not allow the accusations to determine the course of our lives. When it comes to accusations we need to defend ourselves otherwise if they are brought up in court we can be convicted if we do not oppose those accusations vehemently and give a defense against those charges. The blood of Jesus is our plea.

Now you can see why the cloud of witnesses is such a blessing for us because we have those who won in those situations as witnesses to the fact that we also will come out triumphant because the same Lord who brought them out triumphantly is here to do the same for us and they carry the proof of this reality which becomes our defense. This is because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Thank God He never changes.

This is why the woman with the issue of blood for twelve years could believe that if she touched the Hem of His garment she would be healed and she was because she had heard that Jesus had healed all sick people that came to Him and her situation would be no different if she just touched Him.

This reality worked perfectly for her so that as she touched Jesus virtue flowed out of Him and she was instantly healed and Jesus knew that power had gone from Him and healed someone and wanted to know so Jesus could encourage us through her testimony that we could count on the cloud of witnesses testimony to receive what God had already done before on our behalf to make us whole from any obstacle or oppression of the devil.

Let us go further with the Holy Spirit and tap into this grace which will bring us remarkable testimonies of triumph. After recognising the reality of the Cloud of witnesses we then need to lay aside or put away from our thoughts, minds, emotions and intellects every weight of bondage or oppression and the temptation it affords us to sin. This desire to sin that so easily besets us because it offers temporary reprieve and an easy way out where we just need to succumb and yield to the desire and have its benefits.

We are offered through the cloud of witnesses who went past the sin and gained the promise the ability to put aside the weight of sin and look to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith or Trust who proved faithful even in death and experience the same triumph through His grace working on our behalf through His endurance working for us to bring us to the finish line and gain the inheritance.

This is such an honour and privilege to share in the grace Jesus provided for us to be strong enough to overcome every obstacle death throws at us and come out with life and that in its fullest measure with a story of glory.

My prayer for you today is that as you receive these words you will experience the realization of them in your life today and walk in the manifestation of Jesus’ power doing exceedingly and abundantly above all you could ask or think according to His power at work in you creating a story of glory in your lives that will speak loud and clear of the Kingdom of Jesus faithfully still working on the Earth for men to see and trust in Him to serve His Lordship on this earth in Jesus name. Amen.

Have a Fruitful and productive day in Jesus name. Amen.

In my communion time this morning with the Holy Spirit He reminded me of how people will learn what righteousness is. We most times think that righteousness will be learnt as more love is extended to the wicked and they repent of wickedness. The reality is they won’t change because you show more love.Revelation.2:20-23.

However the Lord Himself dealt with this question in Isaiah.26:9 which reads With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are on the earth,The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

It is very important to remember that our thoughts on truth are not what truth is but what the Lord says on matters are what truth is and that truth alone can make us free. So let us look at this word in Isaiah.26 and grasp what the Lord is teaching us so we can see the hand of the Lord manifested on our behalf. This is part of a song of deliverance for God’s people who will be freed.

We see the soul desiring the Lord at night and the spirit within seeking God early. In other words we see a passion in the heart of man for God day and night and then these words as an answer from the Lord which will establish His Kingdom on earth. When the judgments of God are seen on the earth people learn righteousness.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that in Hebrews.1:8 & 9 we read these words. But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” Jesus loved righteousness and hated lawlessness and established His throne on earth through righteousness because that is what His scepter of His authority is based on.

The Holy Spirit had revealed to me clearly that no kingdom of righteousness can be established unless there is an effective system of justice in place to deal with offenders that sets the example.

Certainly the Lord made clear in Psalm.89:14 that Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face. The throne of God without justice is missing the other part of its foundation and therefore will not stand which is impossible with God because God’s throne is already established in heaven so the problem will be on earth if no justice executed supports the righteousness of God.

This is why we are told that when the judgments of God are on earth people learn what righteousness is.

Jesus further emphasizes this reality in Luke.18:1-8 when He talks about His disciples praying for justice to be served on earth and concludes by saying in verse: 6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? 8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily.

Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” Will my people be contending for justice to be seen and have the faith required to see righteousness be learned by people on earth. A demonstration of Justice that proves the reality of righteousness that men see to learn from.

Let me now share a clear portrait of this reality demonstrated through the Apostle Paul in Acts.13:6-12.

This story shows how the Proconsul learns what righteousness is when justice is executed by the apostle Paul over Elymas the sorcerer for the proconsul to see its manifestation in the immediate which enables him to make a decision to follow righteousness verses:10-12 and said, “O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? 11 And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time.” And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

The reality of this which the Holy Spirit pointed out to me is that as the judgment of the Lord was released on earth in this instant the Proconsul learned what righteousness was by the teaching of the Lord and was no longer in two minds about truth but could now with confidence defend and walk in the truth of Jesus Paul had taught him.

May the Holy Spirit grant you the grace to walk in this reality in the Name of Jesus and begin to see the teaching of the Lord manifest on your behalf as the justice of God is executed on your behalf and people learn what righteousness is and the Kingdom of Jesus is established on the earth as the Lord has determined and you are no longer an obstacle to the will of the Lord being done on earth as in heaven in Jesus name. Amen.

As you receive this word.Remember that Jesus has already expressed all the love by coming as a man and taking our sins and has offered us the opportunity to become sons of God through receiving the truth. Non-receiving of what Jesus did to save your soul is what disqualifies men from salvation because Jesus has already made the atonement for our souls.John.3:16-21.

The Holy Spirit says today stop using your mouth to darken His way for you and hinder your path. Stop the negative thoughts and words you speak when alone, because those are the times God and your enemy sees that others are not aware of and those are the words that define your life. Job.38:2.

The positive words you speak in Church in the presence of others don’t define you as they are spoken for the benefit of others but the Lord wants you to speak His words when you’re by yourself and feel helpless for that is when His words will be your strength and give you grace to overcome.

Refrain from giving your enemy ammunition to shoot you down with, and give God yours words of agreement that you will succeed and fulfill His will for your life. So today repent for continually giving voice to the enemy and receive grace to yield your voice to the Holy Spirit who will bring you out to triumph.

You will not fail if you turn and give the Holy Spirit your words of agreement and support today and going forward. Actually things will progress speedily on your behalf and you will have resolution and restoration on negative events that have transpired as you agree with God’s word for you, and you will have a great time of celebration in the goodness of the Lord. Malachi.3:16-18.

So step in using God’s words and watch the remarkable changes that will occur in your life in Jesus Name. Amen. Have an astounding Day in the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit wants you to know today that some needless things in life you suffer are only because you did not commit them to Him in prayer and are responsible for the much heartache and shame in your lives. Many of the things we believe we can handle are the very things the enemy uses to trap us and make a mockery of our Covenant relationship with God. The Holy Spirit reminded me of a situation that happened when we as a family went on vacation to Florida.

We had committed all our plans to Him and prayed on all the things we would do, but only did not pray about the Church services we would attend as we knew the ministry we would attend as we knew the Pastor and the messages he preached. We presumed that because it was a Christian event it would be fine.

Well guess what! That was the only hitch we had and as we went to the service on that day we had so many hitches on the way going and we wanted to turn back, but suddenly the way seemed to open up making us believe God was on our side and we would be blessed. Once we arrived at the Church all sorts of things started going wrong and continued happening. Till in the end after leaving the service we had an accident where a motorcycle hit us from the back which nearly ruined our whole trip.

Satan tried to use our concern for the driver of the motorcycle being hurt to minister to him to cause me to be charged as the police came by and wanted to put points on my license for an accident I did not cause. He broke his legs in the fall because he was going very fast. I was hit from the back at a traffic light on a red light as I stopped to obey the sign, but the driver wanted to beat the light so did not stop and he was drunk so ran into the back of the car. The Lord was gracious to us and we got a solution as we spoke to the policeman who explained to us the law in Florida if you are hit from the back.This meant we could enjoy the rest of our trip and not have this charge against me.

However, that problem: the accident followed us home and was not resolved until much later when the Holy Spirit spoke to me to let the matter go as the rental company sought to get the man to pay for the damage but he had no insurance. He reminded me that because I had not committed that portion of the trip to Him we had so much trouble because the enemy had room to do things we could not imagine.

The Holy Spirit was reminding me today to bring every small thing to Him and not presume I can handle it because it seems small. He reminded me to commit all my ways to Him and not exclude what I think I have covered. We must allow Him to cover every area as we talk to Him on the small details which seem insignificant but can become a huge mountain before us.

So today bring to the Holy Spirit all the small things you are sure you can handle and watch how you will avoid major obstacles and problems which have been your failures in the past. Please take note of these words and let the grace flowing from them empower you to reflect on your journey with the Lord and get free from the presumption that has harmed you in the past in Jesus Name. Amen.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit [which you should make a practice] this morning He spoke to me about not allowing the negative words of people or even family to determine who we believe we are. Throw them off as rags and don’t let them sit on you.

He reminded me that our identity is determined by what God has said we are and no other voice can change that reality. Just as the Father spoke to Jesus in Luke.3:22 And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”This is God’s plan for us to have our identity from the words He speaks about and over us.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that when He made a Covenant with Abraham ,He pointed out that He would bless those who bless Abraham and He would curse those who curse Abraham.Genesis.12:3 says I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

In other words anyone who spoke contrary to what God spoke about Abraham God would deal with. It also indicated that God knew that people would not agree with God’s perspective of Abraham and would voice it. He reminded me that no one could speak and it comes to pass against us when He the Lord had not ordained it. It is our duty He said to only speak what the Lord says about us and reject what is not His will for us.

This the Holy Spirit pointed out to me is what we need to make a habit. Our priority and not allowing the accusing voice of the enemy determine our course. The enemy does speak through people and in particular those we trust when he wants to deceive and move us away from the God ordained path. He spoke through Peter to stop Jesus going to the cross and Jesus responded by rebuking the devil using Peter’s voice.

The Holy Spirit cautioned me to be aware of the fact that though we resist the voice of satan we are not to vilify the human vessel. He reminded me how Jesus responded to Judas after he kissed Him and betrayed Him. He was decent and cordial.Truly loving. It was satan that entered Judas and Judas only performed satan’s will which is to steal, kill and destroy.

So today take hold of this truth and allow the grace in these words to give you strength to resist negative words spoken against you and empower you to focus on God’s words spoken over your life which have given you a future, a hope and an expected end of glory in your service for Him in Jesus Name. Amen
