Each morning as I get up and have communion time with the Holy Spirit I am always awed by the level of insight, understanding and life that the Holy Spirit possesses and then open myself completely to what He has in store for the day. I pray today that you will find the grace to give the Holy Spirit the inception of your day and allow Him to set the tone of your productivity and fruitfulness for each day going forward so you experience all the fullness of God in your lives in Jesus name.

The Holy Spirit this morning wants you to know that He is not relying on you to do or be anything for God, but for you to depend completely upon Him to empower you to be what God created you to be. The Holy Spirit wants you to look to Him for the boldness you need to be effective for the Kingdom.

Even if you believe you are eloquent, your eloquence will not cut it in the Kingdom. You will need more than eloquence of speech to defeat the works of the devil. In the book of Acts.4:29 it reads Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”

After such an attack of the devil to force the Apostles to stop speaking in the name of Jesus we see them pray a prayer that must be our daily cry before the Lord. “We need to be able to speak with all the boldness that flows from the Holy Spirit to us the word of the Lord.

“It is one thing to speak the word with your voice but a completely different matter when you speak that same word by the unction of the Holy Spirit which will produce life in the darkest and most death-filled environment.”

“Words spoken by the Holy Spirit will always radiate light and bring forth life into any darkness and change chaos and bring order and Divine Design.”

Look again carefully at the request of the Apostles and watch for the Answer the Holy Spirit gives because this is what we need to be looking for in our lives on a daily basis. Grant that your servants may speak your word with all boldness. Not with some boldness or in timidity or trepidation but in all boldness with no boldness left out.

“We should not speak for the Lord coming short in any boldness that the Holy Spirit has, but loaded with all the boldness that He possesses and carries which will bring answers of great magnitude.”

“The boldness of speech has direct correlation to the stretching out of the hand of God to heal and then the production of signs and wonders to be done through the hand of the Holy Spirit for the glory of the name of Jesus.”

Without the boldness of speech flowing from the Holy Spirit through you you will not see the miraculous power of God made manifest to heal, deliver and bring freedom. “It is imperative that we request from the Lord through the Holy Spirit for the boldness to speak the word and then we will see the manifestation of the hand of the Lord.” It is not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord.

“Our shouting will not cut through the enemy but being loaded with the boldness of the Holy Spirit will break through any and every obstacle.”

Let’s look at the results from this prayer for boldness. Acts.4:31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. Most times in church the people do all the shaking and activity but here we see the Holy Spirit shaking the place and boldness overtaking the people and the results are stunning as the word is spoken boldly.

Acts.4:32-37 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all. 34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

Firstly the agreement we see in the disciples is awesome and we have not seen that level of union in our day where we have every soul present having the same heart and soul and relinquishing their ownership of possessions for the common good of all.

The Apostles manifest the tangible presence of the resurrection power of Jesus that people see and grace is imparted to people that removes poverty and any lack in the life of every believer as resources from owners of lands and property was sold to remove the burden of lack on their brothers and sisters and everybody’s needs were met.

Life changed in a minute and all disciples’ financial problems were sorted out and no one was in any lack while others boasted of their wealth and how good God was to only them. There was corporate deliverance.

“I pray we see that again in our day as the Holy Spirit is permitted by us to do such marvels as we boldly declare the word of God and let the Hand of the Lord manifest as it did then.”

I pray that as you hear these words today the Holy Spirit will ignite in you a fresh fire and passion to pursue after this grace which will bring an awakening to God of boldness that speaks as God and goes on to manifest Him in such dimensions that all have to say the Lord has visited and we are living in the days of the Lord in full manifestation. May you be found passionately pursuing this reality of the Holy Spirit in this day in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning I am led to share these thoughts the Holy Spirit gave me as I had communion time with Him as I commenced my day. Please I encourage you to make time to listen to the Holy Spirit each day and just watch and see how different your days will become. Your paths will be saturated with pleasantness and peace.

He pointed out to me from Psalm.23:4 Even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness,fear will never conquer me, for you already have!Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of your love takes away my fear.I’ll never be lonely, for you are near.

The love of the Father and Jesus towards us is so powerful that no fear in any circumstance or situation has the power to conquer us because His love which passes knowledge and never fails cannot be separated from us . Romans.8:38 & 39.

The surpassing love of Jesus for us has overcome the world and we have the victory that overcomes every obstacle or distraction or scheme of the evil one this world can throw at us. We are more than conquerors through His love for us not our strength or fidelity.

His absolute love and acceptance for us are our ticket to life and life in its fullest measure. 1 John:5:4. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

The Lord reminded me of His nearness to us in the times of deepest darkness as a present help in the time of trouble. Psalm.46:1. God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. The Holy Spirit does this so we get to know just how powerful and awesome He is in life to us and that with Him we are always in the majority. So we will not fail.

So embrace yourself with this truth and allow it to sanctify you and empower you to walk triumphant today. Let your steps be worked out today with your head lifted high knowing that the Most High has you covered and will show you the exceeding greatness of His power which is towards you and for you. Have an extraordinary, productive and fruitful God Day in Jesus Name. Amen.

This morning as I ministered to the Lord the Holy Spirit in my communion time directed me to look at Hebrews.12:24 which reads :24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

As I meditated on this word about Jesus being the Mediator of the New covenant. I was reminded about what a Mediator has the responsibility to do in any given situation which is to reconcile two opposing sides to reach an agreement and work out the differences and bring an agreeable solution.

Jesus knew that sin had the advantage over man after Adam sinned in the garden and for that reason death reigned in man, but Jesus came and took our place by becoming sin for us thus reconciling us back to God and giving us the ability to reign in life by the abundance of His grace and the gift of righteousness.Romans.5:17.

Everything necessary to make us acceptable to the Father Jesus did as a perfect Mediator so that we would become acceptable to the Father and thus receive an inheritance as a son of God.

Colossians.1:22 & 23. And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight.

The Holy Spirit was reminding me that it is Jesus who did the work of mediation with the Father that positioned us for glory and we need to have much more confidence in what Jesus accomplished on our behalf and act from that place of authority rather than allow condemnation and fear to govern our actions.

We have been granted access into the very Presence of God in the Holiest place in the Universe through the precious blood of Jesus and are guaranteed audience with the Most High God to every blessing He has determined beforehand that we should inherit if we walk in this light.

Now these realities of the Kingdom which Jesus gained for us are the very keys that grant us the ability to overcome every obstacle and high thing that seeks to exalt itself above the knowledge of God concerning our lives.

This is why the Holy Spirit is with us to remind us of what Jesus did for us and causes us to experience the manifestation of His work on our behalf rather than rely on our good deeds of service.

What Jesus as Mediator did for us is what we must completely rely and depend upon because that is our life line of continued access to all the benefits the Lord has bought and paid for us to inherit.

Take a few minutes to embrace and thank the Lord for this reality and allow these life-giving words to so overtake you and override all negative thoughts and vibes that have sought to keep you in bondage to the sin of the past and embrace the truth which makes you free.

The Holy Spirit wants us walking in the place of authority far more than we can imagine because it is our Covenant right in Jesus to be in this place. I have found that the Holy Spirit always lifts us up from the place of sorrow and doubt and sets us up on the path of triumph as He reminds us of all Jesus did to free us to serve Him without fear in holiness and righteousness all the days of our lives. Luke.1:74 & 75.

The Holy Spirit wants us to embrace our Mediator who did everything necessary to redeem us and to reject our accuser who seeks to bind us and keep us in the law of sin and death. We must embrace fully the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that sets us free from the law of sin and death.

These are not just fancy words for our consumption but they are spirit and they contain life which we must press into to experience on a daily basis. Jesus came to give us life and that in its fullest measure. John.10:10.

Therefore today as you receive these words allow them to take root in your hearts and permit the grace supplied through them to make the changes a reality in your present life to be transformed into who the Lord created you to be to express His glory and be a manifestation and witness to His Resurrection power which brings life to what is dead and transforms it into beauty for the glory of His wonderful name.

May you experience today the explosive power of the Holy Spirit in such a way that lifts you to know beyond a shadow of doubt the hand of the Lord working signs, wonders and miracles through your life to expand the Kingdom of Jesus on the earth to glorify His wonderful name in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit in my communion time directed me to look to Him for His tailor made plan to bring us into His place of rest for our lives where all the promises of Jesus are manifested in our life.

I invite you to meditate on these words and receive every grace supplied in them to partake of the full portion of Jesus’s inheritance for your lives, regardless of where you had missed it. There is recovery for you if you will turn back to the Lord.

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me this morning that regardless of where we have been, and what we have suffered and the failures we have had, there still remains a plan specifically designed for us which brings us right into God’s best design for us.

No matter what plans we put in place that failed, the Holy Spirit has at His disposal a tailor made plan that will bring us straight into the place of rest God has ordained for us to live and walk in.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that He hass everything necessary to put us on top of everything. He pointed out that this is why He said that if He God is for us no one can be against us. It does not matter how many thingare working against us.

The Holy Spirit is devising plans for us to prosper and if we would only yield to Him we will succeed because His plan is certain to succeed and override whatever satan plans or does.

Satan He reminded me is limited to the natural realm and only uses manipulation of events, people and natural occurrences to deceive us but if we would surrender and submit daily to the Holy Spirit for the plans He has we will always come through with a victory that would astound our foes and magnify the name of the Lord.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of the word He spoke to me in Abuja Nigeria saying that He doesn’t judge the events of your life because they can be manipulated and you fall into them by default, but He judges the intent and purpose of your heart in the event.

What we do in the situation that arises determines what and how God would judge us. So grateful the Lord judges righteously without partiality.

It was such a comfort for me at that point in my life because satan was using every wrong place or event I found myself in to accuse me and once the Lord released that word to me all those accusations evaporated and I had God reveal plans that brought me out of what satan had hatched into what God had ordained and planned for me.

Remember that one word from the Lord in a single moment can transform your life so go after the Lord for His plan.

So today remember that the Lord has living plans designed to bring you out and all you need to do is come to Him in humility and repentance and ask Him to show you how to navigate things through His voice speaking them to you.

You will need to give Him time and worship to benefit from what He has in store for you so make up your mind to give the Holy Spirit place and be willing to change whatever you think or believe to line up with His living wisdom and watch and see how your life will come through ever situation victoriously and triumphantly in Jesus’ name. Amen.

One more thing, be willing to change what you believe because it may be a lie and allow the Holy Spirit to show and guide you in your believing so you are always walking in the truth in Jesus Name. Amen

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me this morning in my communion time the importance of us filling our thoughts and minds with truth,that is His word. We need to stop allowing negative words,thoughts,fears and situations to change our building project from the Lord which is being filled with all the fullness of God. We must remain steadfast in our commitment to the Lord and allow only His words to framework and build our existence.

Anything satan says are lies and will only bind us to what is naturally possible so we must of necessity throw off all objections to the truth the Lord has spoken concerning us.

This is why we need to encourage one another daily as our redemption draws nearer so we are not overtaken by the worries and cares of this world that seek to bind and stop us.

Therefore today rise up and take your stand and refuse to bow to any pressure that seeks to say you will fail. This is because you choose to believe the word of the Lord, so nothing will be impossible to you because your confidence is in a God that never fails and makes the impossible possible.

The Holy Spirit will always be present to help you override all negative vibes and just watch and see how things will change and line up with your earnest expectation and hope that you will not be ashamed in anything. However you will go on to experience glory and all God’s goodness towards you. Let this word have its say, its way and fulfillment in your life today in Jesus name. Amen.

James.4:5 says:Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”? The reality is that the Holy Spirit yearns for you this morning to fill your thoughts with His words until they penetrate deep into your spirit and become your direction and leader rather than your thoughts which have curbed you from being what God created and intended you to be and limited you to the natural realm and stopped you from progressing into the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that sets you free from the law of sin and death.

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 that what God says you are flows from your heart that is saturated with that truth.

An example of that for you is this 2 Corinthians.5:17-19 which says 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 be this I am in Christ therefore I am a new creation old things have passed away, my faults, my mistakes, my old heritage and what I once was are gone buried forever never to be resurrected again and everything about me is new from the standpoint of Jesus who has given me a brand new heritage which is free from sin and not tainted with past failures or mistakes but spanking new loaded with who Jesus is and the heritage of blessing not the curse and I choose only to live from that new place having been divorced eternally from the old.

All things in my life are of God’s making and there is no failure in God, no defeat in God and only triumph in every situation and that is who I am in Christ and I refuse to believe anything other than what God says I am.

Now when that truth takes hold of your will as you continue speaking it to yourself, your emotions, your intellect and mind then your actions will line up with that posture and you will walk as that because that is all you know and respond to as real concerning you. All other thoughts are lies and deception and you do not permit those in your life.

This should be your daily confession all the time to override the constant negative vibes and thoughts that keep being projected at you. This is a single example of a promise but this is what you should do with all the promises of God concerning you.

I am sure you realize that positive thoughts don’t just fly out to you and flood your mind unless you purposely say them, but the negative ones just seem to flow and only stop when you speak contrary to them and rebuke them. Yet they still attempt to dominate control over you to change your confession back to the old person.

For you to walk as the new creation you have to declare it emphatically and at all times to combat the negative thoughts which just keep coming. This is why the Holy Spirit is pointing to us filling our thoughts with what He says about us and not the lies being spewed to us by people or thoughts. The enemy uses both to keep us in condemnation rather than confidence in God which has a great recompense of reward in the now.

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 results because you are uncertain in heart and are unable to commit fully with the Holy Spirit to lay hold in the now of life.

Always remember with the Lord today is the day of salvation. You can always make a change if you hear the voice of God today and respond to it in obedience and have a brand new start.

Therefore today make the decision to saturate your thoughts with God’s words to and about you so that they take over you and run your life and situations while the negative thoughts wither into oblivion before you as the grace through these words empowers you to act out the God mindset the Holy Spirit yearns for you to walk in so that the name of Jesus is magnified through your lives and gets all the glory for the wonderful change you will now experience in Jesus Name. Amen.

This morning the Holy Spirit spoke to me in my communion time with Him about walking in the full scope of His love working within our heart so that the limitless love of Jesus would exude through us for people to see and know exactly who God is.

It is pretty amazing what the Lord has in store for us in this season of life and we need to zero in on His timetable and not allow the distractions of buffeting and trials and temptations to occupy our time and energy but focus our energy and time of making sure we are walking in step with the Holy Spirit to lay hold of God’s ordained plan for us.

In Ephesians.3:16 it reads And I pray that He would unveil within you the unlimited riches of His glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with His divine might and explosive power.

In this prayer Paul is attempting to convey in his request to God the full scope of what he has experienced in the Spirit and ask that these believers in Ephesus and now us today would also be able to experience the riches of the magnitude of God’s power on earth working from within their hearts and explode in the lives of those they will go on to teach.

Now the Holy Spirit had me study these prayers of Paul for years and then pray them daily for years which I still do and now a whole new dimension of the scope of the limitless dimension of the power of God that is available to flow out of my life in this time to help and show people just how awesome and mighty our God is towards us who choose His name.

The Holy Spirit pointed out that when Paul asked for an unveiling of the unlimited riches of God’s glory and favor it indicates that whatever hitherto that was making it impossible to see into that realm of the Spirit has been lifted and the scales that blocked access to that revelation has been removed and we can now clearly see and lay hold of the necessary information and revelation necessary to experience that truth and live it out in our daily lives is now manifest and we can experience it.

In Isaiah.25:7-8 it says And He will destroy on this mountain The surface of the covering cast over all people, And the veil that is spread over all nations.8 He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces;The rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; For the Lord has spoken.

This is the opening that Paul is requesting that God should open up to His loved disciples and remove the scales the enemy has used to keep us unable to benefit from the riches in glory from heaven to earth which the Holy Spirit wants us to live,walk and breathe in on a daily basis.

The Holy Spirit pointed out clearly to me that the enemy has used the fear of death to hold us subject to bondage in life under siege because death threatens us to take us out and we back off pursuit only in order to stay alive under threat, when Jesus rather says do not fear death but challenge it and love not your lives unto death and you will live because He Jesus is the resurrection and life and as such would raise us from every death, grave, prison or dungeon and give us life and that in its fullest measure any and all the time we request and need it.

Can you believe that reality ? If you say yes all things will become possible to you because you believe God can and will do what He said.

Throw off the death shroud and grave energy being spouted out at you to limit your advance and lay hold of the unlimited riches of God’s glory and favor towards you and let your heart explode with the supernatural energy and strength of divine Might and explosive power of the Holy Spirit from within your heart. Yes your life will reflect the awesomeness of God Almighty in an earthen vessel to the glory of His wonderful name and total shame to the enemy.

You know when floods happen it is completely different from normal weather conditions, you experience torrents of unending water at high speeds and ferocity which seem it would not end so be ready to experience far beyond the normal and expect to move with the urgency of the Holy Spirit as it was on the day of Pentecost.

A sudden outburst of power that changed years of oppression and bondage and brought such swift healing manifestations of the Holy Spirit. This suddenly changed the hearts of men who became different in moments flowing in righteousness and Holy living for God from that time forth.

May these words in this prayer be the reality you experience as the grace comes through to you to embed them in your life as you turn back to the Lord in total repentance for not having believed this reality. May your total surrender for His will to be accomplished in your life breakthrough now as you yield to His grace in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Take note this is only phase one of this prayer being answered. There is still much to come.

This morning as I spent time with the Holy Spirit enjoying His faithful love He reminded me of a word He had spoken to me in Irving Texas, during a season where we had been under fierce attack from every possible angle and all we had was the word of the Lord as any comfort. People had forsaken us and we were all alone. The same peace I experienced when the Holy Spirit spoke those words back then came flooding back into my heart and lifted me up to a much higher level of expectancy and heart settling that things will work out in the now.

Now the word the Holy Spirit spoke was John.6:37 & 39 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

Let me unpack what this meant to me when everything seemed to be lost and I seemed to be in no man’s land. Every word God had spoken to me with a promise of it happening was surely going to happen regardless of present circumstances and every prophetic word spoken about me was going to manifest because what the Lord had spoken with His mouth His hand was going to fulfill on my behalf just as He fulfilled His word to Jesus completely without any losses whatsoever. It also reminded me that the Holy Spirit would cause it to come to me.

Which strengthened me because I was not needing to perform anything but surrender to the will of the Father and allow the Holy Spirit to perform the miraculous on my behalf and change impossible situations to turn for my benefit thus changing my tests to wonderful testimonies of awesome deliverance which attest to the great hand of the Lord at work on my behalf.

I went from no money to a position of completely furnishing a home,the whole house, chairs, tables, beds, wardrobes, chest of drawers all types of decor, the works, getting a new car and resources to go on holidays and have a change of status all debt free provided by the hand of the Lord. The Lord showed up in full manifestation and completely fulfilled His word that He cares for His servants and gives them all things that pertain to their lives and Godliness. Monies were given to me as the Lord had promised and for me giving up all for His sake the Lord was giving a hundredfold return as He promised in Mark.10:28-30.

Talk about creating beauty from ashes in a short space of time. This is why I am so persuaded when I speak of the word of the Lord, because I have experienced it over and over again and it has never failed me. The Lord has always honoured His covenant promise and never changed His word to come short of the promise but has done even more to show His faithful love and loyalty. When this word came to me I started singing it all the time and it has been a theme song from the

Lord to us. “All that the Father has given to me will come to me”” It is His will that of all He has given me I will lose nothing, So all that the Father has given me to me will come to me.”

God is not a man that He should lie nor the son of man that He should repent. Has He said and will He not do it. Has He spoken and will He not perform it. He has given His word and will not relent but surely bring it to pass. Now when God brings back these miraculous situations back to memory it is time for a repeat manifestation of His miracle working hand on our behalf and a reminder to stay strong in trusting and refuse to cave into the present pressure because your triumph is on its way that will defy all enemies right around the corner.

The reality is that it is easy with the Lord to change circumstances on our behalf, but we must believe Him and trust His unfailing record of successes and embrace the grace the Holy Spirit offers at the time to walk in the miraculous. It is so important at times like this to encourage ourselves in the wondrous things He has done before on our behalf and expect Him to do far greater than we have imagined. Our testimonies are reminders of just how Awesome our God really is and serve as a catalyst to propel us to expect and receive more than we can think or imagine possible through His power at work in us.

The Holy Spirit always prepares us for harvest time and we need to be sensitive to the God moment rather than focus on the problem of the moment thus submitting and surrendering to the Holy Spirit to guide us to the place of triumph and experiencing the miraculous He has prepared for us.

Certainly the Holy Spirit wants you to be ready to experience the grace that brings about unusual miracles, signs and wonders and needs your total cooperation with Himself to see it in full manifestation in your life. I am His ambassador sent to prepare you for what is about to happen on your behalf. Let these words of grace propel you to look straight at the obstacles in front of you and say move away and be gone and see such a spectacular manifestation of the power of God you have ever experienced change impossible situations and make them a reality before your eyes providing you with a new song of triumph and great deliverance of the hand of the Lord upon your life in Jesus name. Amen.

“Be ready for all the Father has given to you to come to you without fail and expect that you will come short in nothing and have no losses in Jesus name.”

“A brand new season of glory in Jesus name.” Amen

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He spoke to me from Proverbs.19:21 which reads :A person may have many ideas concerning God’s plan for his life, but only the designs of God’s purpose will succeed in the end.

Now the Holy Spirit pointed out to me that the most important thing in our lives is to walk in the designs and blueprint the Lord has for our lives rather than our interpretation of what we think God intends for our lives. He went on to explain further with many examples of what His people assumed was His plan for their lives but which was influenced by family and other prevailing circumstances at the time which skewed the intent of the Lord for their lives.

I will now share one of the examples the Holy Spirit pointed out to me so you can avoid these pits and save yourself much pain and the delay of unnecessary detours and winding paths.

Let us look at the life of Joseph who received two dreams from the Lord about his destiny in Genesis.37:5-11 Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more. 6 So he said to them, “Please hear this dream which I have dreamed: 7 There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.”8 And his brothers said to him, “Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.9 Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, “Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.”

10 So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?” 11 And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.

Keep in mind the word from Proverbs.19 about having many ideas about God’s plan for your life. You will notice that both Joseph’s brothers and his dad Jacob had their own thoughts about God’s plan for Joseph. Both were wrong because God was not limited to their household and was pointing to Joseph ruling over Egypt and a famine which he would have the God solution for that would save millions of peoples lives.

However their narrow interpretation was intended to thwart the purpose of God over nations. We need to be careful not to allow the present situation in our lives to govern the future God has planned for us to reach Nations for Jesus with a narrow view of the Lord’s ultimate design and manuscript for our lives.

The process God used to bring Joseph into Egypt was therefore painful for them as a family and Joseph personally. However the end result lasted Joseph’s lifetime and brought forth glorious results of an abundant harvest which the Lord had already determined.

However in the end it brought the plan of God into reality as Joseph pointed out to his brothers in Genesis.45:5-9 But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life. 6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. 7 And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. 9 “Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, ‘Thus says your son Joseph: “God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not tarry.

Now see and pay attention to the difference between man’s interpretation of events God had spoken and God’s intention. There is a wide gap between our thoughts and God’s thoughts and this is why we need to cast down our thoughts and imaginations and receive God’s thoughts for us. Isaiah.55:8 & 9.

I certainly prefer what God planned, which was a future, a hope and an expected end of glory for the whole family, not a split with brother killing brother as was with Cain and Abel which again was satan’s plan, but lives being saved and restored to the glory God intended for them without jealousy and unnecessary competition.

My prayer for you today as you hear these words is that you will find the grace necessary to move you from the vain thoughts you have walked in concerning the will of God for your lives and be found in the centre of God’s plan and design for you where your life becomes the agency for the restoration of lives back to God and the healing of lives which will bring glory to the name of Jesus and advance His Kingdom on earth of which there is no end.

May you also be healed of all the trauma of the misses and detours of destiny you have walked through which have worked to sear your conscience and harden your heart towards the Lord and leave you desolate.

May great grace be apportioned to you to make up the difference and bring you to the expected end the Lord planned for you from the beginning which will astound both you and your enemies and glorify your Father in heaven here on earth as your life bears much fruit that remains in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning as I ministered to the Lord in my communion time spoke that He 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 have concluded in your mind will not happen for you again. The things you have placed firmly on the back burner of your life because of the trauma of them not happening.

The disappointment it has caused you for having believed and followed the word of the Lord and experienced failure has taken its toll on your willingness to believe again.

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. How great, powerful and capable He is to do the impossible and make it real in the now.

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 situations that makes us lose consciousness of what the Lord has spoken, the Holy Spirit never forgets what Jesus promised us and will supernaturally bring it back to our remembrance when the time for manifestation comes round and believe me it surely will come and help position us to receive it.

In the prophecy that God gives to Zechariah in Zechariah.4:1 & 2 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 and literally forgot it.This was because the attack was so severe and they were stopped by force of arms from continuing building.

The Lord brought it back to mind so that His word could come to pass in this life and start afresh as a person awakened. This also goes on to happen for Zerrubabel who began rebuilding the Temple after, having ceased working on it for a time, but through this word was going to be stirred back to go and 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.

Look at Zechariah.4:5-10 and see how the Holy Spirit provides a new way to complete what had started and now stopped. Just look at the words He spoke to Zerubabel to stir him to action. Zechariah.4:6 & 7. 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 Person of the Holy Spirit who worked with Zerubabel to bring down mountains to accomplish the will of God and complete a work that had been stopped by force now is empowered to get back to action because the Holy Spirit brings to remembrance the plan of God with a might and power which cannot be stopped because the word of the Lord remains eternally and cannot be thwarted, stopped or hindered.

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

Let the words of the Lord come back alive in you and find new sparks of grace that drive through to accomplishment and fulfillment of God’s plan.

Let this overtake you so that as Zerubbabel experienced mountain moving ability to overcome every obstacle to finish the building he had started so 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 a mark and turning point in your life that you will always be able to look back to and 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.

Today the Holy Spirit in my communion time wants me to reassure you that it is men like you that God wants to use on earth. He pointed out to me the reality of Acts:2:22 Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know.

Then He established the word using Acts:6:8 Stephen, who was a man full of grace and supernatural power, performed many astonishing signs and wonders and mighty miracles among the people.

The Lord did not choose spirits to rule on earth but He created men to rule on earth on His Behalf. We are the product God Most High specifically created and chose to use be His vessels on earth to execute His Divine plan and purpose.

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me that we should not disregard our human side but must keep from sin and deception which poison and weaken our strength. God however wants us to be full of the Holy Spirit and empty of doubt, unbelief and carnality which are our weaknesses.

We must remember that we were worth the sacrifice of His son Jesus to redeem us and have us again rule over the earth. Thank you Lord that You never gave up on us but provided a sacrifice in Jesus to buy us back to the place of glory.

We are the Men/Women the Lord chose and God wants us to be so clothed with Him as Jesus was on earth in order that He can accomplish marvels, signs and wonders through our lives that the world will have to stand up and say that God reigns and righteousness rules in the affairs of men.

Take heart today and push towards God and ask Him to so fill and flood you with more of His Spirit that you become a new person, unrecognizable by your peers and there’s only one commentary that can be made concerning you that you have been with Jesus.

Determine that because God needs you as a human to do His will on earth, you will do all it takes to be loaded with Him and so overshadowed by His Presence and Power that all flesh will see His glory in your life.

The Holy Spirit keeps insisting that this is the time for a new outpouring of God’s glory so men can see God as the only answer to life situations and turn to Him for help.

The Holy Spirit was so clear to me saying that it is a man not a spirit that God anointed and wants to anoint you in this hour. So be that person as Joel says in Joel:2:29-31, The Manservant and Maidservant of the Lord in Jesus Name. Amen.
