Today I am sharing the conclusion to my communion time with the Holy Spirit which presents you the opportunity to revisit the promise of the Lord for your lives.

We therefore do not have to make every mistake he made ourselves because we have an example before us from which we can glean wisdom and understanding so that we can run our own race more effectively because we can revisit the promise the Lord has for our lives with courage and boldness because we have examples we can learn from to keep us centred on the pathway of the Lord for our lives.

This message today is an invitation for you to revisit the promise the Lord has for your life. So go ahead and receive the grace contained in these words for you and ask the Lord to show you where you have allowed relationships, attachments, or human influences to keep you bound in places from which the Lord had intended to deliver you years ago. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you anything that has become an obstruction to your progress. Then allow Him to deal with it in your heart.

This includes the plans and decisions you may have made because of people, including suggestions from men and ministers. Remember that not every plan that came through another person was necessarily the Lord’s plan for your life. The question should always be: What is the Holy Spirit saying to you now? On purpose take an honest inventory of the relationships you have established and hold dear and ask the Holy spirit for His view on them in your life.

Some relationships may be healthy and God-given, but there may also be some relationships that have become hindrances to you navigating forward into the Lord’s promise. Therefore, ask the Holy Spirit to examine these relationships and even reconsider your Church affiliations. There may be separations the Lord has been prompting you to make that you have been unwilling to contemplate. Remember that the purpose is not separation for separation’s sake.

The purpose of this separation is for you to become completely free to serve the Lord according to His will without fear in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of your life. We must be willing at all costs to follow the Lord’s direction even when it requires us to reconsider things we have become comfortable with or deeply attached to. The ultimate goal is to be in the bullseye of the will of God for your life.

This requires a willingness on my part to put everything down and follow the Lord fully. It means you being willing to surrender anything that competes with the Lord’s purpose. It also means refusing to allow self to remain in control while expecting the Lord to work around your preferences. We must deny ourselves because we cannot continue holding on to self and expect the Holy Spirit to simply endorse everything we have decided.

The Holy Spirit will not work with the version of ourselves that insists on remaining in control. He is working to transform us into who the Lord wants us to become and what He has separated us to become for His glory which is conformity to the image of Christ. The shift therefore begins with our surrender. So today, allow the grace contained in this message to empower you to make the necessary shift by returning to the promise through returning to the Lord’s pattern.

As I return to the voice of the Holy Spirit, release whatever He tells you to release and reconsider whatever He tells you to reconsider. Then separate from whatever He requires you to separate from and follow Him fully. The objective of this directive is not simply to possess a promise in theory but it is for you to become the person who is fully engaged with the Holy Spirit in the manifestation of the God-breathed promise.

May I receive abundant grace to do it God’s way, in Jesus’ name. Amen. Father, thank You for Your Word and for the grace to hear what You are saying. Holy Spirit, I surrender myself afresh to You. Please make me a true seeker of the Lord as a true faithful listener who waits to hear Your voice, understands Your instructions, and responds with prompt obedience.

Please show me anything in my life that is hindering my progress into the Lord’s promise. Reveal to me every relationship, attachment, plan, influence, commitment, or human suggestion that I have held on to when You have been asking me to release it.
Please give me courage to obey You even when obedience requires difficult separation or a change of direction. Search my heart and bring me into the bullseye of the Lord’s will for my life.

Deliver me from running cycles and circles of defeat because of my partial obedience and teach me how to walk fully in the pattern You have established for me. I choose to daily deny self and surrender my own way, so You can Make me into who the Lord wants me to be and separate me unto what He has called me to become for His glory.

Let the grace from Your Word empower me to make every necessary shift and bring me into full engagement with You so that the God-breathed promise for my life will be manifested according to Your purpose in Jesus’ name. Amen. I declare that I am a listener of the Lord and I will hear the voice of the Father, receive His Word, and respond with prompt obedience. I will not treat His instructions as insignificant, because I know that His Word carries creative power and gives life to what was dead.

I boldly follow after righteousness and seek the Lord with my whole heart as I look to Jesus, the Rock from which I have been hewn, and I remember the pit from which He brought me out because I will never forget what the Lord has done in my life. I receive the grace to learn from Abraham’s journey and I will not repeat the compromises that caused him unnecessary cycles and delays. I will recognize what the Lord is asking me to leave behind, and I will have the courage to obey it.

I declare that every relationship, attachment, plan, influence, or human instruction that is hindering the Lord’s purpose for my life will be brought into the light by the Holy Spirit. I will not hold on to what the Lord is asking me to release and I will not allow human relationships or human suggestions to become substitutes for divine direction. I surrender self by surrendering my own way. I surrender my preferences with every attachment that competes with the will of God.

I receive the grace to become who God wants me to become and to be separated unto what He has prepared for His glory. I declare that I am moving into the bullseye of the Lord’s will for my life and I will not remain in cycles and circles of defeat, desperation, or partial obedience. I am shifting into full alignment with the purpose of the Lord for me. I will fully engage with the Holy Spirit in the manifestation of the God-breathed promise for me.

I will hear, obey, separate, surrender, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and I will walk in the promise the Lord has prepared for me, and His purpose will be fulfilled in my life. By the grace of God, I declare that I will do it the Lord’s way. I will inherit the promise of the Lord and I will walk in the Lord’s prepared purpose as Jesus will be glorified through my life, in Jesus’ name. Amen!

This is Part Two of my communion time with the Holy Spirit to help us understand the importance of fully obeying the voice of the Lord without compromising any part of the word.

When the Holy Spirit led me to study Abraham’s complete journey again, I saw something very significant. I noticed that every time Abraham did not fully obey the Lord’s directive, there were consequences and difficulties that affected his progress. Abraham we are told left Ur of the Chaldeans, but unfortunately he brought Lot with him and Lot eventually became a stumbling block in his progress. This relationship hindered Abraham from moving forward fully in what the Lord had prepared for him.

The significance of this relationship becomes especially clear in Genesis.13:14-17 where we read these words: “And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: ‘Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and westward; 15 for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever. 16 And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered. 17 Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.’”

Notice the timing in this revelation: “after Lot had separated from him.” So we see that once the separation took place, the Lord revealed the fuller picture of the promise to Abraham. Abraham from this time forward could now engage with the Lord in a different way because something that had been obstructing his progress had been removed. There is a serious lesson here we must learn that we cannot take everyone with us into the promise of the Lord for our lives.

There are relationships and attachments from which the Lord will require us to separate from, if we are going to move fully into what He has prepared for us. When Abraham eventually received Isaac, Lot was not a part of that promise. The lesson is not that every family relationship is wrong or that separation from people is automatically God’s will. Rather, the message is that we cannot carry into the Lord’s purpose everything and everyone He has instructed us to leave behind. Some relationships can become compromises and these attachments can keep us bound.

We must understand that some of the things we hold dear can prevent us from navigating forward into the promise with the Lord. The question therefore should always be: What has the Lord asked me to release from my life that I am still holding on to? As I revisited Abraham’s entire journey, I saw where he fell short of the promise and what his compromise with Lot cost him. I saw the process of getting him out of the pit into which that compromise had placed him, and then watched the process of restoration back toward the place the Lord intended him to be at the appointed time.

I understood that Abraham had not fully obeyed the instructions the Lord had given him, and how that lack of complete obedience affected his journey. The Holy Spirit reminded me that He was now speaking to me about the final conversation with Abraham as Abraham was now approaching the manifestation of the promise through the birth of Isaac. At this point, Abraham needed to be found blameless in his conduct so that he could walk this out completely with the Lord. He could no longer afford to walk loosely as he had done in previous seasons.

His earlier patterns of compromised obedience had caused him to run in cycles and circles of defeat, frustration, and desperation. This is a very salient lesson that we must adopt if we desire to inherit the promise of the Lord for our lives. We must remember that religious activity cannot be a substitute for obedience. Abraham built altars in his journey as he sought to hear the Lord. Yet there came a point where there was no further voice of the Lord coming to lead and direct him until he separated from what was holding him bound.

The issue was not that Abraham had no spiritual activity. The real issue was that something was obstructing his complete obedience and this is an important warning for us. We can be doing things that appear spiritual while still holding on to something the Lord has asked us to release and the answer is not merely to build another altar, pray another prayer, or engage in another religious activity. The answer is to obey what the Holy Spirit is saying to you to do.

The Father graciously points us to Abraham in Isaiah.51 so that we can learn from his journey and avoid the mistakes and pitfalls in his journey. Abraham thus becomes a prototype and an example for those who follow righteousness because His story gives us something concrete to consider and examine. We can learn from where he succeeded, keep protected from the places where he fell short, understand what his compromises cost him, what the Lord required him to release, and how he eventually returned to the place of alignment with the Lord’s purpose.

Father, thank You for Your Word and for the grace to hear what You are saying. Holy Spirit, I surrender myself afresh to You. Please make me a true seeker of the Lord as a true faithful listener who waits to hear Your voice, understands Your instructions, and responds with prompt obedience. Please show me anything in my life that is hindering my progress into the Lord’s promise. Reveal to me every relationship, attachment, plan, influence, commitment, or human suggestion that I have held on to when You have been asking me to release it.

Give me courage to obey You even when obedience requires difficult separation or a change of direction. Search my heart and bring me into the bullseye of the Lord’s will for my life. Deliver me from running cycles and circles of defeat because of my partial obedience and teach me how to walk fully in the pattern You have established for me. I choose to daily deny self and surrender my own way, so You can Make me into who the Lord wants me to be and separate me unto what He has called me to become for His glory.

I declare that every relationship, attachment, plan, influence, or human instruction that is hindering the Lord’s purpose for my life will be brought into the light by the Holy Spirit. I will not hold on to what the Lord is asking me to release and I will not allow human relationships or human suggestions to become substitutes for divine direction. I surrender self by surrendering my own way. I surrender my preferences with every attachment that competes with the will of God.

I receive grace to become who God wants me to become and to be separated unto what He has prepared for His glory. I declare that I am moving into the bullseye of the Lord’s will for my life and I will not remain in cycles and circles of defeat, desperation, or partial obedience. I am shifting into full alignment with the purpose of the Lord for me. I will fully engage with the Holy Spirit in the manifestation of the God-breathed promise for me in Jesus name. Amen.

Today I am sharing Part One Of a three part Communion time I had with the Holy Spirit.

This morning, during my communion time with the Holy Spirit, He led me into further insight concerning the truth of engaging with Him in order to manifest the God-breathed promise in our lives. The Lord wants us to understand in greater detail what He requires from us so that we can be fully engaged with Him in bringing His promises to manifestation in our lives.

The promise of the Lord is not something we passively wait for while continuing to live according to our own preferences, attachments, relationships, and plans. There is a part we must play in responding to the Holy Spirit. We must therefore listen, obey, separate ourselves from whatever hinders the Lord’s purpose, by denying self, to become fully aligned with His will. We must of necessity listen carefully to the Lord

The Father begins speaking in Isaiah.51:1 & 2 by saying: “Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness, You who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were hewn, And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug. 2 Look to Abraham your father, And to Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone, And blessed him and increased him.”

Notice that whenever the Father speaks, He calls us to listen and pay close attention because what He is about to say is important and cannot afford to miss any part of His communication. The Lord never engages in meaningless or insignificant conversation. His words always carry creative power and what He speaks always create things that previously did not exist and gives life to things that were dead.

This is why every conversation with the Lord must be treated with the utmost reverence and respect because His Word is not ordinary information. It is our most valuable gift in life because His Word creates everything we could ever need for our life and godliness. Therefore, when the Lord speaks, our response should be one of careful listening and prompt obedience. The Father addresses those who follow after righteousness and seek the Lord.

As followers of Jesus, we are called to follow righteousness because Jesus loves righteousness and hates lawlessness and is the King of righteousness. Hebrews.1:8 & 9. We must remember that everything Jesus ever did flowed from righteousness. His actions always proceeded from a righteous heart. Peter made the same principle clear in the house of Cornelius when he said in Acts.10:34 & 35 that God is not a respecter of persons, but whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted.

This means that seeking the Lord cannot merely be a matter of speaking to Him about what we want. The true seeker of the Lord must become a listener, that is someone who waits to hear what the Lord is saying at any given moment. The true seeker understands whose voice needs to be heard, obeyed, and followed in order to have life. The Father then tells us to look to the Rock from which we were hewn. So we are to look to Jesus, our foundation who is the Author and Finisher of our faith.

We must observe carefully who our foundation is and recognize His authenticity. We should remember how He brought us out of the pit we were in, by transforming our perspective, and making us a new creation in Christ. We are also instructed to look to Abraham and Sarah as examples within the cloud of witnesses of those who inherited the God-breathed promise. The story of Abraham is particularly important because it demonstrates what the Lord can do with someone who appears to have nothing.

The Lord called Abraham alone and He separated him from what he knew and from what he held dear and invited him to follow Him into something Abraham could not fully understand naturally. Then the Lord supernaturally blessed Abraham, increased him, and multiplied him phenomenally. The Lord is showing us through Abraham’s life that what He did with Abraham is also a pattern of what He desires to do with us.

I declare that I am a listener of the Lord and I will hear the voice of the Father, receive His Word, and respond with prompt obedience. I will not treat His instructions as insignificant, because I know that His Word carries creative power and gives life to what was dead.

I boldly follow after righteousness and seek the Lord with my whole heart as I look to Jesus, the Rock from which I have been hewn, and I remember the pit from which He brought me out because I will never forget what the Lord has done in my life. I receive the grace to learn from Abraham’s journey and I will not repeat the compromises that caused him unnecessary cycles and delays. I will recognize what the Lord is asking me to leave behind, and I will have the courage to obey it in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning, as we fellowship together with the Holy Spirit, let us settle one question in our hearts concerning why are we concerned about whether the Lord will fulfil what He has said to us? Is the record of His faithfulness throughout Scripture not enough? Even beyond everything we have already seen the Lord do, Hebrews 6:17–20 assures us of the immutability of His counsel concerning us. The Lord does not change His mind because circumstances change and His Word does not become uncertain because opposition appears.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that Jesus often asked people, “Why do you take that thought saying?” pointing to the fact that Jesus always challenged thoughts that contradicted what the Father had said. Let’s look at Matthew 9:23–26. When Jesus entered Jairus’ house and said that the girl was not dead but sleeping, even though the people laughed Him to scorn. Jesus knew exactly what He was doing.

The question arises why did they laugh scornfully in a place where they were grieving? The reason was because they allowed what they could see naturally to contradict what Jesus had said. We as Jesus’s followers must be careful not to do the same thing when the Lord speaks things contrary to what we see in the natural. So even though Jesus had already demonstrated who He was through signs and wonders, yet people could still question Him when circumstances became difficult.

In Luke 4:14–15, when news about Jesus spread throughout the region, and He was glorified by all. However later, when Jesus declared that, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:21–22), familiarity caused people to question Him saying “Is this not Joseph’s son?” They had the evidence of Him performing miracles, yet they allowed familiarity to speak louder than the truth.

Amazingly their response became so hostile that Luke 4:28–30 tells us they tried to throw Jesus over a cliff. This incident shows us just how dangerous it is to allow deception to replace truth. We must guard our hearts with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. The disciples themselves experienced this struggle where Jesus spoke opposite to what present circumstances were saying. In Mark 4:38–41, when the storm arose, they cried to Jesus: “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

Jesus calmed the storm and then asked them the question: “Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?” They also had seen Jesus’ power, yet fear made them question His care. This is why we must never allow circumstances to dictate what we believe about Jesus. John 8:32 says these words: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

We must always remember that the truth does not change because the situation looks hopeless. Jesus does not become less faithful because the storm becomes stronger. His counsel remains immutable. His Word remains true and His character remains unchanged. Therefore, 1 Corinthians 15:58 calls us to be: “Steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that our labour in the Lord is not in vain.”

So today, make a fresh quality decision to become steadfast and immovable in the truth. Refuse to allow negative reports, criticism, fear, deception, or circumstances to govern your belief system. Do not let another voice make you question what the Lord has already spoken. Instead, receive the instruction of Philippians 2:5 which reads these words: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.”

Let the mind of Christ govern how you interpret your circumstances by letting the Holy Spirit lead your thoughts. So the truth will have the final word in your life. Whenever something appears impossible, remember the fact that Jesus has not changed and the Lord has not failed you because His counsel concerning you remains immutable. So today, I choose to believe what the Lord has said.

I choose truth over deception, I choose faith over fear and I choose the Word of the Lord over every contrary report. I purposefully choose the mind of Christ over every thought that contradicts Him. Holy Spirit, help me today to recognize every thought that does not agree with the truth and keep my heart steadfast and my mind anchored in what Jesus has said.

Deliver me from allowing circumstances, criticism, fear, or deception to redefine my confidence in the Lord’s ability. Teach me to remain immovable when everything around me appears contrary. I let the mind of Christ govern my thoughts, my decisions, my responses, and my actions. I surrender my thought life to you today Holy Spirit and I choose to believe Jesus, to trust His Word, and walk in the path You have prepared for me.

I declare that I am steadfast and immovable in the truth and I will not be governed by negative thoughts, contrary reports, fear, criticism, or deception because I believe what the Lord has spoken concerning me. Jesus is faithful and His counsel concerning me is immutable. So His Word will not fail because I receive the mind of Christ, and I walk under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.

I will never abandon the Lord’s Word concerning me because circumstances appear contrary to His word and I will not allow the voice of opposition to become louder than the voice of the Lord in my life. I remain aligned with the Lord, steadfast in faith, and immovable in truth.

I declare that every obstacle before me must bow to the purposes of the Lord for my life. I choose to believe in Jesus, and therefore I step forward into the triumph He has already prepared for me. What God has spoken shall be fulfilled for His glory. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

A clarion call to stay in the Truth Lane.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit, He reminded me of how Jesus taught His disciples to approach the enemy. Jesus never taught them to live in fear of what satan could do but instead, He emphasized what the Lord would do to protect them and keep them from the works of the devil. Jesus’ greatest concern was that His disciples would not be deceived.

In Luke 21:7–9, when the disciples asked Jesus about the signs of the end, He first warned them to: “Take heed that you will not be deceived.” This statement shows us that guarding our hearts against deception is more important than becoming preoccupied with the activities of the enemy. Many voices will arise, but our responsibility is to remain steadfast in the truth.

The Holy Spirit then took me to Jeremiah 17:9–10, which says these words: “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind…” Therefore because the heart can be deceived, we cannot depend solely upon ourselves to remain in the truth. So we desperately need the Holy Spirit continually guiding us into all truth.

Genesis 3:1–5 shows us how deception entered the earth through a voice that contradicted what the Lord had said. satan’s strategy was not merely force, but it was the deception he used that caused man to believe a lie and act against Lord’s command. The Holy Spirit reminded me of the time when He spoke to me concerning the fact that I needed to repent of all the wrong desires I had carried from childhood.

From that experience I understood that the enemy would attempt to bring the fulfilment of those desires at a strategic moment in my walk with the Lord to lure me away from the Lord’s purpose. Soon after that conviction from the Holy Spirit, someone connected to one of those old desires contacted me with an opportunity that could have drawn me back into what the Lord had delivered me from.

Because the Holy Spirit had already warned me through the word of dealing with past desires coming to fulfilment, I recognized the danger and refused to engage with it. That experience taught me a true fact of life that not everything we desire is something the Lord wants us to receive. A fulfilled desire can become a trap if it takes us outside the Lord’s purpose for our lives. This is why we must remain humble and dependent upon the Holy Spirit.

Jude 24 reminds us that the Lord is able to keep us from falling, and 1 Peter 1:9 points us toward the fact that the salvation of our souls is the end of our faith, which reveals the fact that the complete transformation of our inner life which involves our mind, will, intellect, and emotions must come increasingly into total alignment with the mind of Jesus.

I have made a quality decision to remain faithful in this work of salvation, by continually surrendering to the Holy Spirit and allowing Him to guide me into all truth. So today, guard your hearts and don’t let fear of the enemy become greater than your confidence in what Jesus has accomplished on your behalf.

Do not allow under any circumstance an old desire, an attractive opportunity, or a persuasive voice to move you outside the truth. Stay rooted in the truth lane by letting the Holy Spirit search your heart, to expose all deception, then correct your inordinate desires, and guide you into the path the Lord has prepared for you.

I declare that your heart is steadfast in truth and every deception seeking to divert you from the Lord’s purpose is exposed and loses its influence over you in Jesus name. I declare that you will not exchange the Lord’s plan for any temporary satisfaction because the Holy Spirit is guiding you into all truth and preserving you from every hidden trap of the enemy.

I declare that you will walk in the truth that makes you free. So deception will not abort the Lord’s purpose for your life and you will walk in the pleasantness, peace, and rich fulfilment Jesus has ordained for you, and your life will glorify His name in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Today I am sharing Part Two of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on seeing beyond the plain and beyond the mountain into the place Jesus has ordained for you to walk in this new season.

Once the Lord is guiding us we must always look beyond what natural circumstances say can happen, by looking beyond the mountain of impossibility into the reality that the Holy Spirit is pointing us toward.

There are greater things prepared by the Lord that have not yet entered our human imagination, but the Holy Spirit is revealing them because the appointed time for their manifestation is fast approaching. So we must not allow the voice of doubt, unbelief, human reasoning, or opposition to redefine what the Lord has spoken.

The enemy may raise obstacles and voices insisting that what the Lord has declared will never happen. But Psalm 2:4 reminds us of the Lord’s response to those who oppose His purposes: He who sits in heaven is not intimidated by human opposition but He just laughs them to scorn.

Therefore, do not be moved by any voice that contradicts “thus saith the Lord, but instead, just agree with the Holy Spirit, by aligning yourself with the truth. Vehemently resist the lie of the devil that says the promise is impossible and stand confidently upon what the Lord has spoken and prepare yourself to participate in the history He is creating through your life.

This is the Season of the Miraculous and the Holy Spirit is calling us to recognize that we are entering a season in which the impossible will become reality. There will be moments when we look at what has happened and say: “Look what the Lord has done! It is marvellous in our eyes.”

What the Lord has prepared will exceed everything we previously imagined possible and the appropriate response is not unbelief but agreement, faith, obedience, and expectation of it happening in your life.

The Holy Spirit is asking us to incubate His word within our lives which involves us receiving it, then holding onto it, by meditating upon it, believing it, and aligning your lives with it until the appointed time when it produces its fruit for all to see the work of the Lord.

Remember that the promise is not being sustained by your ability because the Lord who spoke it is responsible for bringing it forth. Your responsibility is to cooperate with Him rather than allowing doubt and unbelief to abort our participation in what He has prepared.

So receive these words with your whole heart, and do not allow contradictory circumstances to make you surrender the promise. Never allow the opinions of men to become greater than the word of the Lord in your heart and never allow the enemy’s voice to persuade you that what the Lord has spoken cannot happen.

Look beyond the mountain into the place Jesus has ordained for you, and believe that what the Holy Spirit has prepared for you will be brought forth at the appointed time, because the Lord will never bring to the place of birth and then fail to deliver (Isaiah 66:9).

I declare over you today that Your eyes are being lifted beyond the plain and beyond every mountain of limitation into the realities that the Holy Spirit has prepared for you. The things that have never entered your imagination are being revealed to you by the Spirit of God and the vision concerning your life will speak at its appointed time and it will not lie (Habakkuk 2:3).

I declare that every voice of doubt and unbelief contradicting the word of the Lord is silenced in your heart and you will not be governed by what men say is possible or impossible. You will only agree with the Holy Spirit and say, “Be it unto me according to Your word” (Luke 1:38).

You will not abort what the Lord has ordained for your life and you will not stop at the mountain because you will never turn back because of opposition. You will see the impossible become possible by the mighty power of the Lord and what the Lord has prepared for you will come forth in its appointed season.

You will experience what “eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has entered into the heart of man” (1 Corinthians 2:9). As you will behold the manifestation of the Lord’s purpose for your life, and your testimony will be: “Look what the Lord has done! It is marvellous in our eyes in Jesus name. Amen!”

The Holy Spirit will empower you to receive, incubate, nurture, and bring forth the fruit He has ordained for you in this season and you will become a participant in the miraculous purposes of the Lord and a testimony of His faithfulness before men.

Remember that nothing shall be impossible with the Lord. So you will see the word of the Lord fulfilled in your life, with nothing missing and nothing broken, for the glory of Jesus in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Today I am sharing part of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on seeing beyond the plain and beyond the mountain into the place Jesus has ordained for you to walk in this new season.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit this morning, He spoke to me about seeing beyond the plain and beyond the mountain into the place Jesus has ordained for us to walk in during this new season which is in a place that goes beyond our wildest dreams, expectations, and imaginations. The Holy Spirit drew my attention to the reality described in 1 Corinthians 2:9 which reads these words: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

These words are not merely familiar Bible words that we repeat because we have studied Scripture. The Holy Spirit emphasised the fact that these are real preparations of the Lord that He intends to reveal and bring into manifestation in our lives. They are realities that will become living events, experiences, and demonstrations of His power in this season of our lives. Remember that the vision has an appointed time, and when that time comes, the vision will speak. As Habakkuk 2:3 declares, the vision is for an appointed time; though it may appear to delay, it will surely come and will not lie.

Therefore, we must never regard what the Holy Spirit has shown us as vain imaginations, human ambition, or something invented by men because of how grand it sounds. What the Lord has conceived and spoken concerning us will be brought forth for His glory. The Lord never brings something to the point of birth and then abandon the process. Isaiah 66:9 establishes this reality that: the Lord who causes something to travail will also cause it to be brought forth. The Lord always brings forth what He has spoken.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of the prophetic word spoken concerning the birth of Jesus. The had Lord declared that a virgin would conceive and bear a Son (Isaiah 7:14). From the standpoint of natural human reasoning, such a thing was impossible to accomplish. Yet the impossibility of the promise did not make it impossible for the Lord to achieve. The Lord had already planned it, therefore, when the appointed time came, He brought His word to pass regardless of whether human beings believed it was possible or not.

The result was the birth of Jesus, as recorded in Matthew 1:18 where man participated in the process, but the initiative, power, and fulfilment belonged to the Lord. That singular event changed the course of history eternally and opened the way for a new breed of men and women who would be filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit to become catalysts for unprecedented moves of God on the earth. Through the Holy Spirit, men and women would begin doing works and accomplishing feats that had never previously been seen as commonplace in human affairs.

This is consistent with the prophetic picture in Joel 2:29–30, where the Lord speaks of the outpouring of His Spirit and the extraordinary manifestations that would accompany its happening. The Holy Spirit reminded me that when Isaiah and Jeremiah spoke the words the Lord gave them, people laughed, scorned, ridiculed, and treated them as though they were speaking foolishness or heresy. Yet the negative response of men did not alter the truth of the Lord’s word.

The word of the Lord is never governed by “thus saith man.” Therefore, when people ridicule, question, dismiss, or contradict what the Lord has spoken concerning His purpose for your life, do not allow their response to determine what you believe. Instead, respond like Mary responded when the angel announced the impossible to her in Luke 1:38 which reads these words: “Be it unto me according to your word.”

Mary’s response was in total agreement with the Lord’s word despite the impossibility of the circumstances with the result that what Gabriel announced came to pass. We must remember the words of the Angel Gabriel in Luke 1:38 that: With God, nothing shall be impossible. The Lord is never merely promising us things that human beings already consider possible.

Again and again, the Lord demonstrates His power by declaring things that are impossible according to natural reasoning so that no flesh can glory in His presence. This is why we should always look beyond what is visible and today we are being called to lift our eyes and look beyond the plain, beyond the mountain, by looking beyond the limitations of what you presently see.

I declare over you today that Your eyes are being lifted beyond the plain and beyond every mountain of limitation into the realities that the Holy Spirit has prepared for you. The things that have never entered your imagination are being revealed to you by the Spirit of God and the vision concerning your life will speak at its appointed time and it will not lie (Habakkuk 2:3).

I declare that every voice of doubt and unbelief contradicting the word of the Lord is silenced in your heart and you will not be governed by what men say is possible or impossible. You will only agree with the Holy Spirit and say, “Be it unto me according to Your word” (Luke 1:38). You will not abort what the Lord has ordained for your life and you will not stop at the mountain because you will never turn back because of opposition.

You will see the impossible become possible by the mighty power of the Lord and what the Lord has prepared for you will come forth in its appointed season. You will experience what “eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has entered into the heart of man” (1 Corinthians 2:9). As you will behold the manifestation of the Lord’s purpose for your life, and your testimony will be: “Look what the Lord has done! It is marvellous in our eyes in Jesus name. Amen!”

Today I am sharing another part of my prayer time and declarations from my communion time with the Holy Spirit.

I declare that as we the followers of Jesus allow the Holy Spirit to fill us afresh to overflowing with the rivers of living water, the living water within us will then overflow through us to impact others who are spiritually thirsty needing life. Through this process of being continually filled with life-giving water of the Holy Spirit, a multitude of souls will be restored, through lives transformed, hearts healed, and many will be brought into the Kingdom of God.

The Holy Spirit desires to lead us the followers of Jesus to those who are ready to embrace Jesus in spirit and truth so that His Kingdom may advance powerfully throughout communities and nations. Ultimately, this message calls for us the followers of Jesus to abandon self-condemnation, by embracing the Father’s love, adopting the Lord’s perspective concerning people, and become living channels through which the life of Jesus flows to a thirsty world.

It is an invitation for us to see people not according to their failures, but according to what the Lord can do through them when they encounter His grace. It is a call to worship in spirit and truth, and to drink from the River of Life, and to become carriers of that life for the glory of God. Father, I thank You that I am loved, cherished, and accepted by You and I declare that no failure, mistake, disappointment, or recent circumstance can separate me from Your love or Your purpose for my life.

According to Romans 8:28, I believe that You are working all things together for my good as I walk according to Your purpose. I renounce every spirit of condemnation, fear, timidity, and self-accusation and I refuse to remain on the floor of defeat, but I receive the grace to rise up and walk with You in the chariots of Your glory. Just as the disciples marvelled in Mark 4:41, I declare that my eyes are being opened to see the greatness of Jesus, who commands even the wind and the sea and whose authority is above every circumstance in my life.

I declare that I am becoming a true worshipper who worships the Father in spirit and truth according to John 4:23–24 because I seek not merely religion, doctrine, or intellectual knowledge, but a living relationship with Jesus Christ. So I receive the righteousness, life, and reality of His Kingdom operating in me daily.

I declare that I will not be like Nicodemus, by relying on my knowledge without transformation. Instead, I will respond like the Samaritan lady, who received the living water Jesus offered and allowed it to transform her life. I choose revelation over religion, relationship over routine, and life over mere information.

I declare that the living water of Jesus is becoming a fountain of water within me, overflowing to everyone around me. I will be a carrier of His presence, His truth, His healing, and His life and those who encounter me will encounter the testimony of Jesus and be drawn to the source of living water.

I declare that the Lord is healing broken hearts, restoring wounded lives, and using those whom the world has overlooked to advance His Kingdom. So I receive His Divine perspective concerning myself and others and I will see people through the eyes of grace and potential rather than through the lens of failure and human judgment.

I declare that nations will serve Jesus in spirit and truth as souls will be saved, lives will be restored, as joy will break forth, and the Kingdom of Jesus will advance in power and glory. I declare that the river of life will flow through me to a thirsty generation, and many will come to know Jesus because of the testimony of His life working in and through me in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

Today I will continue the prayer pattern I use from my communion time with the Holy Spirit which causes me solidify the revelations He gives me in my heart and awakens my total confidence in His ability.

Like Paul in Acts.27:10, please help me to recognize the warnings you give me and show me how to respond wisely when You reveal danger ahead of me. Paul perceived that the voyage would bring disaster, yet through the revelation given to him, the lives of the people were preserved.

Like Agabus in Acts.11:28, help me to receive and respond to divine revelation promptly so that I may prepare myself before difficult circumstances arise.

Let what You reveal to me become a means of preservation, not only for me, but also for the people connected to my life. Holy Spirit, I surrender myself to You today and ask you to show me the events of my day and teach me how I should respond within them.

Please reveal the assignments You have prepared for me and show me the good works the Lord has ordained for me to walk in, and lead me into working out the miracles which You desire me to participate in.

I ask you Holy Spirit to let me not merely hear about Your mighty works but make me a willing partaker in them. Let the testimony of what you accomplish through my life work to strengthen my confidence in Your ability to reveal what lies ahead of me daily, so I can carry it out by your strength.

Please give me the grace to pursue fellowship with You consistently, so that I will not be caught off guard, or be swept away by the foolishness of men, or destroyed by circumstances. Let me always walk in truth, preparation, preservation, fruitfulness, and divine purpose in Jesus’ name. Amen.

I declare that I am in deep fellowship with the Holy Spirit and I am being guided into all truth, therefore I will not walk in darkness, confusion, or ignorance concerning the purposes of the Lord for my life. I receive the grace to hear, understand, and obey the Holy Spirit as I reject every poisonous thought that contradicts the faithfulness of the Lord because what He has begun in my life, He will bring to completion.

I declare that I receive divine clarity and I will understand the instructions and patterns the Holy Spirit gives me, and I will walk in accurate obedience. I declare that I will not be confused or misled through ambitious desires. The Holy Spirit with me gives me the advantage of knowing what I need to know concerning the future. So I will not be caught off guard, swept away by the foolishness of men, or taken off course by unexpected events.

I receive greater uncommon wisdom to prepare correctly and the grace to make every necessary change so that what the Holy Spirit reveals will become a means of preservation, deliverance, provision, and blessing for me and for others. I declare that the Holy Spirit will show me the assignments and good works the Lord has prepared for me so that I will participate in His miracles and become a vessel through whom Jesus is glorified.

I declare that my life will be vibrant, fruitful, productive, and fully aligned with Lord’s purpose to bear much fruit for the Kingdom and see it remain. I declare that I will walk in divine revelation, divine preparation, divine preservation, and divine purpose because this is my portion to experience here on earth in Jesus’ name. Amen!

Today I am sharing a portion of the prayer pattern that I use to pray out my communion time with the Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit, I welcome You into this morning. Thank You for the gift of communion with You which has become a time of discovery, deeper revelation, and understanding of the ways of the Lord. This fellowship is so precious to me because You reveal things I do not know and show me the strategies necessary to accomplish the plans the Father has already prepared for my life. You have made my life vibrant, productive, and fruitful in Jesus.

Holy Spirit, I cherish this time with You more than anything else because it brings supernatural ability and the miraculous realm into my circumstances and turns them around. Please remind me today that one word from You can change the most difficult situations in a moment because you can make all things new and cause the impossible to become a reality. Kindly help me to remain still and attentive so that I may watch in awe as You make Your word real before my eyes.

Thank You for Your faithful help and assistance, which makes me fruitful and productive on the earth. Holy Spirit, please deliver me from every poisonous thought that suggests that the Lord can bring something to birth and then fail to complete it. I am so thankful that your Word assures me in Isaiah.66:9 that what You begin, You are well able to bring forth.

For this reason I refuse to allow doubt, delay, fear, or confusion to damage my relationship with the Holy Spirit. Thank You for inviting me into conversation with You so that I can understand more clearly how the Lord thinks and processes things. So that just as Moses was instructed to build according to the pattern shown to him on the mountain, help me to recognize the pattern and instructions You have given me.

I am fully conscious that your instructions are not intended to confuse me because you desire that I know what You require of me and want me follow it accurately. Just as You repeated the instructions concerning Samson’s life instructions in Judges.13:8-14, give me clarity and understanding so that I do not misinterpret Your word or direction.

Holy Spirit, please guide me into all truth. According to John.8:31 & 32, establish me in the truth that makes me free. Let no lie, deception, or false expectation control my thinking or damage my walk with the Lord. I do not want to live in darkness concerning the purposes of the Lord because I want to be clear on what I need to do so that I can serve the Lord fully and walk in obedience. I know that you know the events of the future.

Your Word says in Amos.3:7 that the Lord reveals His purposes to His servants the prophets before He acts. So according to John.16:13-15, guide me into what is to come by showing me exactly what I need to know so that I can prepare correctly, make the necessary changes, and remain aligned with the Lord’s purpose.

Thank You Lord that there are no earthly surveillance systems comparable to You. I rejoice because I know You know everything, and You possess everything necessary to destroy, remove, change, or replace whatever must be brought back into alignment with the Lord’s plan for my life. Holy Spirit, give me grace to walk in the knowledge You provide I declare in Jesus name. Amen.
