Today I will share part one of my communion time with the Holy Spirit which deals with walking being full of the Holy Spirit in the life of a follower of Jesus as recorded in the book of Acts. I pray you will be so stirred to choose walking in the counsel of the Holy Spirit so you can experience these same miraculous results in your life.

I know many will say why does bro Emile always say the Holy Spirit says in his posts rather than just speak out what he has to say? I am glad you asked because if you look in the book of the Acts you will find out that every time we are told someone was filled or full of the Holy Spirit their actions and conduct was in line with the nature and character of the Lord.

This means that the influence in that situation concerning their action was done by the Holy Spirit in them. You will also find that their action brought forth miraculous success, victory, triumph and glory to the name of the Lord.

A classic example of this truth is when we are introduced to the person of Barnabas in the book of Acts. We first meet him when he sells his land in Cyprus in Acts.4.36-37 and brings the proceeds to the Apostles. His contribution is so substantial that the apostles call him a son of encouragement.

We meet him next in Acts.9:27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. And he declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. He is the first believer who embraces Paul as a beloved brother by talking of his miraculous salvation and introduces him to the Apostles using his influence by the Holy Spirit to integrate Paul into the fold as an accepted brother. What a heightened sense of “Spiritual discernment.”

Then we see him again in action in Acts.10:22-26: For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord. 25 Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul. 26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

Just look at the description of Barnabas here: a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith who again goes in search of Paul. Then finds him and brings him to Antioch church where the move of the Holy Spirit is happening and they both remain there a year serving the purpose of the Lord. Those actions he takes are Holy Spirit inspired and guided, bringing much profit for the Kingdom.

We next meet him in Acts.12:25: And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their ministry, and they also took with them John whose surname was Mark. They fulfill the ministry God had for them and we see them back in Antioch bearing fruit for the kingdom.

We meet him next in Acts.13:2 & 3: As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3 Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away.

Again we see Barnabas very much under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit. We again see what goes on to happen by the Holy Spirit in Acts.13:4: So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. The Holy Spirit’s influence is guiding and directing the movement of Barnabas which is a beautiful sight to behold because there is much spiritual fruit being achieved.

Again in Acts.13:46: we read these words: 46 Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first; but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. Barnabas again under the influence of the Holy Spirit is empowered with the Spirit of boldness and pronounces the judgments of God.

Next we read these words about Barnabas: And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. This was after Paul had been beaten and taken up for dead but Barnabas is still operating in the power of the Holy Spirit. They completed the mission of the Holy Spirit and we again see in Acts.13:27-28: Now when they had come and gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles. 28 So they stayed there a long time with the disciples. Barnabas again walked according to the dictates of the Holy Spirit.

Again in Acts.15:2 2: Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and dispute with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them should go up to Jerusalem, to the apostles and elders, about this question. Barnabas is again walking in the Holy Spirit to see the will of the Lord established and this concludes with these words in Acts.15:34: However, it seemed good to Silas to remain there. 35 Paul and Barnabas also remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

Today we see the conclusion of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on walking being full of the Holy Spirit in the life of Barnabas to the sad point where he begins to walk in his own wisdom and counsel. It is startling to see how someone so prominent and influential in the Spirit is reduced to nothingness as he walks in his own strength. I pray that this reality of events will correct you and cause you never to lose your connection with the Holy Spirit but to pursue it wholeheartedly with all diligence.

From Acts.15:36 onwards you notice a shift of influence from the Holy Spirit to the flesh in the life of Barnabas which explains the reason why I always say clearly when it is the Holy Spirit speaking through me and not my own words.

There is a big difference between Emile’s voice and the voice of the Holy Spirit. From verse 36-40 it reads these words: 36 Then after some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us now go back and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are doing.” 37 Now Barnabas was determined to take with them John called Mark. 38 But Paul insisted that they should not take with them the one who had departed from them in Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work. 39 Then the contention became so sharp that they parted from one another. And so Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus; 40 but Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God.

Now from this time on we begin to see the man Barnabas not under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit but his own spirit or natural thinking. Well the difference in results is stark because he goes on to choose family over the will of God even after Paul explains why not to take Mark because he would negate the impact of the word they were preaching.

Barnabas is stubborn of heart and refuses to heed the correction to change his mind and chooses his nephew over the voice of the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately you will find out that from that moment Barnabas exits from the book of the Acts of the Holy Spirit because he no longer obeyed the voice of the Spirit but his opinion. A very costly mistake.

The Apostle Paul on the other hand goes on to accomplish the will of the Holy Spirit and mentions in his letter to the Galatians this weakness Barnabas had in Galatians.2:13: And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

Paul had expected Barnabas not to have sided with Peter because he had been with Paul dealing with Gentiles and knew that God had accepted them by pouring out His Spirit on them as He did the Apostles in Acts.2. The evidence of the work of the Holy Spirit was clearly visible through the numerous miracles God had performed through their hands on the Gentiles.

It was startling to Paul why suddenly Barnabas was now acting as if he didn’t fellowship with Gentiles. Well even the Apostle Peter who Paul also challenged openly for denying the truth at the close of his letter speaks about Paul’s revelation as God speaking though the things spoken through him were hard to swallow although they were Holy Spirit breathed.

In 2 Peter.3:14-16 it reads these words: Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. Paul was speaking by the Holy Spirit and we need to obey His words above any other voice, fear or opinion because they were from the Holy Spirit.

We need to repent when we listen to another alternative voice as Barnabas did and it cost him his place in the Kingdom, otherwise we will lose out on the will of God for our lives as he did. Mark on the other hand for whom Barnabas made the choice Paul tells us in Colossians.4:10-11 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, with Mark the cousin of Barnabas (about whom you received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are my only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are of the circumcision; they have proved to be a comfort to me and goes on to become an ally of Paul and supports him because he stood for truth. Always stay with the Holy Spirit of truth because He never fails.

In sharing these truths with you today I pray that the Holy Spirit will open up your eyes to where you missed Him but had not repented. Then make the necessary turn to get back in sync with the rhythm of the Holy Spirit. Quickly come back to the place you ought to be walking in the Spirit by accomplishing the marvels and ancient plans God has for you.

The same God who spoke to separate Paul and Barnabas to the work He called them to do did not call them to separate from one another, but Paul chose the higher purpose which the Holy Spirit worked with Him to accomplish his part of the assignment.

May you also today find yourself back in the Bullseye of God’s will even if you had missed it, by repenting and surrendering back to the Way of the Holy Spirit. We all have weak moments but the Lord can help us up if we only repent and turn back to Him by allowing the Holy Spirit to lead us back to the plan Jesus has for us. Blessings.

The Holy Spirit in my communion time spoke about the necessary spiritual food for today: that is the things we must of necessity do daily. The Apostle Peter talks about them in 1 Peter.2:5 which reads these words:  you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 

The fact is that as followers and lovers of Jesus we have to live out a spiritual life by offering spiritual sacrifices to God.The sacrifices must be acceptable to God which means they are not self centred or motivated but God centred.

 Jesus stated that if any man was to follow Him they must first deny self. The sacrifices of the Kingdom are not as in the world where it is all about self promotion and glory. 

So we will firstly look at what are some obstacles to answered prayer? The primary obstacle to prayer is not communing with the Holy Spirit. Romans.8:26.

Let’s look at the biblical evidence to support this statement. In John.6:63 Jesus says these words: It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

This is the clear foundation for any activity in God. Nothing birthed from our flesh no matter how well intentioned or motivated can produce spiritual results. What Jesus says is what brings life.

Remember even Jesus as the word made flesh never said anything until after He returned in the power of the Spirit after a forty day fast where He was tempted. Luke.4:14 & 15 Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region. 15 And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

Let us look at the Acts of the Apostles.4:8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: Acts.6:3  Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business;  

This is the pattern in the new Covenant with anyone who did God. The Holy Spirit always has the preeminence.Galatians.6:8 reads these words: For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

This revelation on sowing and reaping by the Apostle Paul is infallible proof that Prayer begins in the Spirit and must be reaped in the Spirit. So it is more important to find out the purpose of the Spirit before beginning to pray from your own initiative. I recall a senior Minister of a Pentecostal denomination of a multiple Church body.

He spoke about a season where he took on a fast for sixty days on water only because he wanted to beat the forty day record of Moses and Jesus. He said he did not have any other plan or purpose for the fast but to beat the record of fasting for sixty days.

He went to say that after he reached the sixty day mark the Holy Spirit spoke to him and asked him, saying now that you have overtaken Moses and Jesus in days of fasting with water of what importance or significance has that made to anything in the Kingdom of Jesus and what have you accomplished?

He says he was so ashamed of himself and how he had wasted time doing nothing but starving his body because now the challenge was futile and he was being ridiculed by the Lord because he was in the flesh trying to accomplish a lust, worldly desire that was worth nothing.

He was sharing this sad story with ministers on the importance of working with the Holy Spirit before commencing on anything no matter how spiritual it looks.

He was using this example of a season of nothingness in his life to warn young ministers to spend more time seeking the will of the Holy Spirit before embarking on their plans. He did say that his congregation were very impressed by his feat but the Lord was not impressed. He gained nothing spiritual but got praise from men.

Finally let us look at the summary of the prayer life of Jesus. Everything He did was in the Spirit hence He always had God results. John.5:30. Jesus said the flesh profits nothing. So any transaction in the flesh will only bring losses. 

So today before you start blotting out prayers ask the Holy Spirit what you are missing?  Then allow Him to guide you on what you should really be praying about. You will be amazed at how refreshing and rewarding your prayer time will be.

Just one word from the Holy Spirit is all you need today to position yourself for the greatest answer of triumph you will receive and the steps on how and where to reap the answer. It will revolutionize your life as answers to prayer will become the daily reality in your life in Jesus name.  Amen.

Today I am sharing with you a part of my communion time with the Holy Spirit dealing with us living in the realm of Spirit of our heavenly Father rather than living from our natural heritage. I pray these words will impact you by giving you the grace of total confidence to live out your walk on earth with all the spiritual benefits of heaven manifesting for you here on earth.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit as I worshiped the Lord in the beauty of His Holiness. The Holy Spirit began speaking to me about living in the realm of having been born anew in the Spirit of our heavenly Father rather than having been born into the earth by our natural Dads.

There is a huge difference between living in the Holy Spirit versus our earthly nature and many times as iniquity tries to overwhelm us through the relentless accusations of satan, it is great to have the Holy Spirit who reminds us of whose we are and whom we belong to and serve.

In Luke.13:27 Jesus talks about workers of iniquity who use the iniquity in our background to frame us then rob us of the blessings of the Lord. However the reality is that we as having been born anew by the Spirit of the Lord need to know our rightful position as children of the Most High God by walking in that authority.

In John.1:13 &14 we read these life changing words of truth : But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Now let us meditate on this truth for our lives by changing our minds, thus converting our hearts to allow these facts to be the reality in our everyday lives on earth. We must remember that this was the very reason Christ Jesus came to earth to give us this opportunity to change our existence on earth. Luke.2:13 & 14.

This is because we could not birth ourselves and each of us have parents who have iniquity embedded in them which we had no power to change ourselves. We were born with these iniquities and could not free ourselves from the iniquity in our families. However when we choose Jesus as our Lord and Savior we are born afresh with a completely different heritage as John points out here.

The rights we have in life determine the kind of life we have and show us what is available to us to live from. Now once we become children of God we are entitled to the rights and privileges to enjoy and experience all that is available in our heavenly Fathers house.

Firstly in our Fathers house there is liberty from every oppression of the devil with a separation from sin and iniquity because our elder brother Jesus removed every handwriting of requirements that were written against us that is contrary to our nature by removing them from our lives through the forgiveness of our sins.Colossians.2:13-15.

The absolute truth is that Jesus did not forgive us after we repented but He replaced us when He became sin and iniquity for us and took the punishment of death on our behalf so we could be free once and for all. Isaiah.53:10-12.

Let us take an eternal minute to remember that on the night Jesus was betrayed after being denied by His followers He took bread, blessed it and broke it saying “This is my body which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.” Then He took the cup and said “ This is the New Covenant in Blood shed for you and many for the remission of your sins. Do this in remembrance of Me.”Luke.22:17-20.

These immutable statements of Jesus give us the right to experience everything Jesus did for us. He came to save us from our enemies and the power of those who hate us. Not to condemn us because we were already condemned and subject to death.

He came that we should begin to experience life which sin had robbed us of. Luke.1:71,74 and 75. We were experiencing the wages of sin which is death. However Jesus paid the price for us to now experience the wages of righteousness which is life and that more abundantly. John.10:10.

When the accuser of the brethren satan comes after us he seeks to bring us out of the place of security that Christ purchased for us and uses the iniquity of our natural heritage to attack our minds. Revelation.12:10-12.

The Holy Spirit says to stop everything and listen carefully to what He is saying to you so you can proceed promptly to do it. It is time to open your heart to receive the counsel of the Holy Spirit by allowing His words to influence your actions. Don’t always be too hasty to respond to the first word spoken but allow your heart to understand what is being said to you. This ensures that you are carrying out only what thus says the Lord rather than a portion of what you think the Lord is saying.

When we look at the book of 1 kings:19.11-13 we find Elijah is forced to listen for the voice of the Lord as he hears the Lord in three different ways he had heard or known the Lord to speak to him before. However on this occasion we are told that the Lord passed by three times but was not instructing Elijah through that avenue. It was vitally important for Elijah to continue focusing on the Lord with his heart open to what the Lord would speak to him that day. Finally the Lord spoke to Elijah after those three encounters of passing by in a still small voice that directed him on how he ought to walk and what he needed to do.

Elijah had to discern the voice of the Lord correctly and not let the spectacle of the wind, the earthquake and the fire experience influence him to miss what the Lord was saying. You will notice that the Lord spoke nothing to Elijah through those manifestations. I recall an incident which happened with my co fellowship leader when I was in the Anglican Church. She mentioned to me that she had got a visitation from the Lord. So I asked her what did Jesus say to her?

She responded that there was a wonderful presence when He came but I kept asking her what instructions did He give you or speak to you concerning your life and she responded none. I then told her that every time in scripture when Jesus appeared to any person He always gave them a word they could hold onto that changed their situation so she should have asked Him why He had visited her as proof that it was truly Him and not a masquerade of satan to deceive her. She got nothing from that claimed experience and in fact was attacked further.

I then encouraged her to ask the Lord to visit again just as Manoah the Father of Samson had asked of the Lord after the Angel of the Lord had visited his wife to speak to her of the son they would have whom they should call Samson and what they as parents were to do concerning him as he grew up because he was going to be a Nazarene to be used by the Lord to bring Israel deliverance from the Philistines. Judges.13:1-25. However even when she made that request from scripture to the Lord that event never still happened. So nothing came from that event which she thought was Jesus visiting her. We need to be vigilant concerning things we experience to ensure they follow scripture because satan can transform himself into an angel of light to deceive us.

Well the Holy Spirit wants you to stop presuming you understand what He is saying to you based on your past experience by allowing Him to conclude the conversation He brought to you rather than moving on with what you think He is saying and then miss the true plan. It is of vital importance that you hear clearly the instructions of the Holy Spirit and obey them for in that instruction lies your deliverance, help and way out in any and every situation. 1 John.4:1-3.

The Holy Spirit also brought back to my heart what had happened with Elijah when the rain came back after three years how Elijah sent out His servant to check for rain seven times while he remained in prayer and how though the servant brought six negative responses that nothing was happening about the rain falling Elijah pressed in on the Lord and finally the servant responded that he saw a cloud the size of a man’s hand and Elijah knew that the rain was about ready to fall and positioned himself for it. 1 Kings.18:41-46.

He remained attentive to the Holy Spirit and did not presume on his ability of having heard God before or his past knowledge of God but rested on discerning the voice of the Holy Spirit. Today the Lord wants you to open your hearts to Him and become better hearers and listeners to His counsel as you watch how you will avoid many pits and downward spells set to trap and make you fall. You will have resounding results because you heeded the voice of the Holy Spirit.

May you find the grace supplied to you in these words to mobilize you to patiently wait for and hear out completely what the Holy Spirit is saying to you. Then proceed to do it which will result in much rejoicing because your fruit will be much and very rewarding in Jesus’name. Amen.

Let this word from Jude 24-25 be your continued prayer from now on: Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy,25 To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants you to take the time to consider the commandments of the Lord for your life. Then ask yourself the question why you feel they are burdensome and hold you captive or in restraint? It is evident that we don’t consider things the right way we should and most times make rash decisions that only hurt us and rob us of the very best .

The Holy Spirit wants me to lay out some fundamental laws of the Covenant for you to look at from the right perspective before you decide why you believe them to be burdensome.

I found the Holy Spirit saying to me to look at everything the Lord asks me to do? The question is who does it benefit? As I looked at the commandments that came to mind I realized that each one of them was for my benefit not God’s. So let us look at the commandments the Lord asks us to do.

Well concerning giving it says in Luke.6:38 First of all Give and it will be given unto you in good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over shall men give unto you. Look at the promise of God to the giver. What you give will come back to you in many more directions than you gave.

Jesus only said we should give and the result will be that there will be more given back to us in good measure, take note not evil measure, pressed down so more can be added in for us and then shaken together to level out more for us and running over which indicates it overflows our boundaries or scope . The question is what is so burdensome about receiving more than you gave?

Let’s look at prayer from Luke.11:10 Jesus said ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened to you. What burden is it to us if we get more than we requested from the Lord? Jesus said we would find much greater than we sought for in terms of knowledge, understanding, revelation and find greater treasure based on our search. When we knock persistently a wider door of opportunity into much more heavenly treasure is open unto us which increases us by broadening our horizon concerning life and its purpose.

Now let’s look at fasting, we give up a meal so God can benefit ? No, the benefits of fasting are clearly pointed out in Isaiah.58:8-9 Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. 9.Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’

You will see clearly the path to follow and your healing will spring forth speedily and your righteousness will precede you and God’s glory shall be your rear guard plus you will loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? 7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh?.

These blessings for fasting speak of personal benefit to us with additional benefit to others whose lives we are in position to free. So the question remains: what is so burdensome about that? Why should I have to give up a meal so that this evil will happen because I did not eat a meal which benefits God ? Certainly not?

It is so that we humans have maximum benefits in life because God wants us to have the best of everything. That is why He gave us His best in His Only son Jesus so we could reign in life as kings and priests to change society to be a haven of rest by living out heaven on earth. More than enough for everybody and much to spare.

Finally for us to love one another and fulfill the law of Christ in order to increase continuous fighting on the earth which profits God? No it so that things will work perfectly in our relationships on earth because no one does what will hurt the other. Each of us will all do things for the benefit of each other and cover each other’s backs so that nothing is missing in all our lives. So what is so burdensome about living that way free of wars, continuous conflict and building on the good?

Today I have shared with you the truth on how the Holy Spirit wants us to view the commandments of our covenant with Jesus. This is to enable us to experience the bountiful goodness of God towards us.

For this reason I encourage you to look at the truths you have heard then allow the grace in these words the Holy Spirit provides you to empower you to change the lies and deception satan has sowed to your minds to make you feel doing God is not worth it but only robs you of fun and enjoyment.

What greater enjoyment is there than seeing people free to live life again. It is time to step back into doing righteousness by walking in the fear of the Lord. Then you will see all the benefits I have shared with you become the reality in your lives as they impact all that you do by increasing your standing in society as your life manifests days of heaven here on earth so that the name of Jesus is glorified through your life in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Remember in closing to use these words of Jesus as your go to place of refuge when you feel discouraged or distressed on the way things are going and looking negative. Quickly get back on the track of the truth to only believe again what the Lord says and all things will become possible to you again as you agree with the Lord and His ways. Then keep doing the truth which will never fail to deliver on your behalf. This fact will never change: God will never fail to come through for you in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Today I want to share the concluding truths involved in having the Lord as the first point of going to by seeking Him rather than relying on human friendships and relationships as our first point of help in times of trouble.

I pray that the Holy Spirit who revealed these truths to me will make them come alive in your heart and give you a fresh outpouring of grace to walk in the fullness of this reality which will revolutionize your walk in life from this time forward in Jesus name. Amen.

Jesus also could not rely on His closest three disciples to watch Him pray in the garden of Gethsemane but they fell asleep. However, the Holy Spirit gave Him strength to carry through to victory and that is the place where the Lord wants us to live in complete reliance on the Holy Spirit for all things. Luke.22:40-46.

Even the Apostle Paul faced this situation when he spoke that in his first defence all men forsook him but the Lord stood by him and delivered him from his enemies 2 Timothy.4:16-18. This is the greatest strength we will ever have to be able to go to God ourselves and have Him bring us through by the power of the Holy Spirit.

May you today by the grace imparted through these words find the ability to look to the Lord by relying on the Holy Spirit as your first go to help in every situation in life. Romans.8:26-28.Then let Him be your answer so you don’t have to lose relationships in order to learn this reality in life. The Lord wants us to love Him with all our hearts, souls and bodies for this is the first commandment.

When you look at that instruction in the first commandment there is no room for the desires in our hearts for anything that God does not want. So we must be willing to give Him our all in order to have His all. I recall when the Holy Spirit spoke this to me and told me to surrender all the unfulfilled desires I had as a child which satan was now wanting to fulfill in my life to rob me of my God reward.

Jesus gave His all to accomplish the will of the Father and the Father gave His all to Jesus to rule with Him in the position of Glory eternally. What an honor that we have been granted the privilege to share in that position of glory if we give Him all our hearts in Jesus’ name. Amen. John.17:24.

Today I share with you Part One of the revelation the Holy Spirit spoke to me concerning why we as humans always turn to humans as our first line of help when we have the Lord as a very present help in times of trouble. Psalm.46:1. Open your hearts to embrace these truths and receive the grace to make the Holy Spirit the first line of defence concerning your life and watch to see how things will change in your circumstances to be living in the place where you always have triumph in any circumstance through the miraculous hand of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit says why are you looking to men as your support and help when you have Him as your more than enough help in every situation. To rely on man is a curse and to trust the arm of flesh is like relying on the wind that would blow you away. Jeremiah.17:5-8 The Holy Spirit is your help in times of trouble and times of success and you need to remember what your strength and strong tower of refuge is.

The Lord will give you men to support you and be an encouragement to carry out the work you are called to do but they are not your support and refuge and must never become your place of succor and help in times of need . The Holy Spirit must become your closest and most trusted friend and support in life and your go to place for relief and answers and this will be tested in your life.

The Lord alone wants to be the One to whom you look to for refuge and support and not men. The Holy Spirit today reminded me of David when he was on a mission in 1 Samuel.30:6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

Now David came home to an invasion of all they had in Ziklag and all they had was gone and in this encounter all the men who were a support and help to David thought of killing him and he remembered that his trust was not in the men he had but the Lord who had called him and went on to encourage himself in the Lord his God and then found the way out of that dilemma as he inquired of the Lord and got the plan to recover back all that was robbed from them and much spoil in addition.

It is not that God did not want David to have the support of those men who God sent to help him ,but the Lord wanted David not to rely on the men but on the God who had called him to be the King and depend on Him and not the support of the men. There is a very fine line between trusting what God gives us to help us win our battles versus us trusting God Himself to be our go to in times of need.

Most often because we see men around us who are willing vessels of support and help we feel confident we have the necessary help ready and available to pull us up. However because we don’t see the Lord physically present and have to reach out by faith to seek Him in order to get an answer through prayer, which appears from the natural more difficult. That is exactly what is necessary if we are to remain on top of things pertaining to our lives. Psalms.20:7.

I told my closest friend in a season of great physical attack by much enemy barrage that seeking God to find out about a healing to understand what the situation she was facing was far better than consulting a doctor for a diagnosis because the doctor on his finest day even if a Christian doctor can be moved by the enemy. He is susceptible to making mistakes in the process, however the Lord would give you an answer of peace.

Fortunately the friend heeded that counsel and did not consult a doctor, but trusted the Lord and she is very much alive and very well because the Lord brought her out of what no human doctor could have by giving her the solution necessary for her deliverance which she now owns as a story of healing and deliverance of the ability and miraculous power of the Holy Spirit who delivers from all death.

So what I am sharing with you today by the Holy Spirit is the true advantage we have in the Lord as our go to help in times of need which the Lord wants to be our primary source of help.

You will notice from scripture that even Jesus Himself regardless of the wonderful faithful disciples He chose by the Holy Spirit all left Him at His most vulnerable time during His passion on the cross. However Jesus still said to them prior that my Father is always with me and will see me through. Matthew.26:31.

The Holy Spirit yearns for you this morning to fill your thoughts with His words until they penetrate deep into your Spirit and become the direction and leader of your life rather than your thoughts which have curbed you from being what God created and intended for you to be. You are no longer limited to the natural realm which has stopped you from progressing in the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that sets you free from the law of sin and death. James.4:5. Romans.8:2.

You must realize that you are who the Lord says you are not what your parents, pastor, teachers or mentors or family say you are. You need to saturate your thoughts by confessing what the Lord says you are until you believe what God says you are as it starts flowing from your heart that is now saturated with that truth as a reality.

An example of that for you in the Bible is: 2 Corinthians.5:17-19 which reads these words. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

Your confession of that word would sound like this I am in Christ ( the anointed One And His anointing that is His burden removing, yoke destroying, world overcoming, always triumphing, barrier breaking, earth shaking power) therefore I am a new creation, old things have passed away, that is my faults, my mistakes, my old family heritage and what I once was are gone buried forever never to be resurrected again. Everything about me is brand new from the standpoint of Jesus who has given me a brand new heritage which is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that has freed me from the law of sin and death.

I am no longer tainted by past failures or mistakes but I am brand new, loaded with who Jesus is. That is the heritage of blessing from the Lord that makes us rich and not the curse. I choose only to live from that new place of life in the anointing having been divorced eternally from the old status.

All things in my life are of God’s making where there is no failure in God, no defeat in God. The only thing present in my life is triumph in every situation which is who I am in Christ. For this reason I refuse to believe anything other than what God says I am.

Now as that truth takes hold of your will as you continue speaking it to and over yourself, your emotions, your intellect and mind will cause your actions to line up with that posture in the Spirit and you will walk as that new person because that is all you know and respond to as real concerning you. All other thoughts are lies and deception which you do not permit in your life. This should become your daily confession all the time to override the constant negative vibes and thoughts that keep being projected at you from the spirit of the world. This example is just a single example of a promise you should activate in your daily life which you should imbibe as a pattern with all the promises of God concerning you. Romans.10:10.

I am sure you realize that positive thoughts never just fly out into your heart and flood your mind except you purposely say them. However the negative thoughts just seem to flow naturally and only stop when you speak contrary to them. They are persistent and still attempt to dominate your minds to change your confession back to the old thought pattern.

For you to walk as the new creation you have to declare it emphatically and consistently at all times to combat the negative thoughts which just keep coming. This is the reason why the Holy Spirit is pointing out the importance of us filling our thoughts with what He says about us and not the lies being spewed to us by people or negative thoughts. The enemy uses this barrage of negativity to keep us in condemnation rather than our confidence in God which has a great recompense of reward in the now. Romans.8:1 and 2 Corinthians.10:4-6.

If your heart condemns you, you do not have confidence in God which is what John says in 1 John.3:20-22 and you can end up delaying or detouring your miraculous results because you are uncertain in heart and are unable to commit fully in union with the Holy Spirit to lay hold of the blessing in the now of life. James.1:6-8.

Always remember with the Lord that today is always the day of salvation. This means that every new day we can always make a change if we hear the voice of God today and respond to it in obedience which gives us a brand new start.

I encourage you today to make the quality decision to saturate your thoughts with God’s words to and about you until they take over you and start running your life and circumstances while the negative thoughts wither into oblivion before you as the grace through these words empower you to act out the God mindset the Holy Spirit yearns for you to walk in.

Your result will be that the name of Jesus is magnified through your lives as He gets all the glory for the wonderful change you will now experience in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit says today that through the miracles you are about to experience in your life will be the necessary spiritual knowledge of the workings of the Lord that will be made clear to you. You will then understand the processing in the Spirit by having a working platform from which you can share all the things you have learnt through personal experience concerning the ways the Lord has revealed and made clear to you are the paths of eternal life from which others can then partake of. They will through your experience find the life which you have discovered by the Holy Spirit. 

The miracles which happen for you will represent the turnarounds of these difficult situations that have baffled you over time. You will be made aware of the supernatural operations of the Holy Spirit in paralyzing the works of the enemy which were set to destroy and muddy your path of life.

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

The Holy Spirit wants you to begin to understand the depths of purpose that are stored up in what the Lord does to make His plans known through the things He does on your behalf. This is in order that you will fully understand the way He works things out and see His way of processing things that are difficult and impossible to comprehend. 1Corinthians:2:12.

The Lord wants you to be walking on a higher level of wisdom and divine insight which enables you to visualize things from God’s vantage point that changes darkness to light and raises from death to life. Romans.4:17. You are being groomed by the Lord to walk in higher realms of glory whereby it is not only about experiencing the miracle but understanding the process behind the working of the miracle God has done. The Lord wants to work with you to think through, and be a part in what actually happens through the manifestation of the desired miraculous outcome the Lord is bringing to fruition on your behalf.

Moses we are told knew the ways of God which enabled him  to experience them at any time while the Israelites only experienced His acts but still remained stubborn and unchanged. Their hard heartedness remained because they had no understanding of what the Lord intended for them so they were unable to walk with Him as He sought to lead them. 

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

The layers of meaning that will be revealed to you will saturate all you do going forward and will make your walk much smoother and clearer because you will be walking under the shadow of the Almighty surrounded by His glory. His Preeminence will be visible in all things that pertain to your life and Godliness. 1 Corinthians.2:13-16.

As you take hold of these truths as grace is imparted to you by the Holy Spirit you will walk in a new place of security that overshadows the problems of the last seasons. You will be able to read and navigate through these distractions without the anger and bitterness they used to arouse and awaken in you that cost you time, resources and energy which was wasted and produced you no fruit.

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