The Holy Spirit this beautiful morning in our communion time shared with me more about His faithfulness towards me overriding my fragility, rather than how my weakness causes me to stumble. He reminded me that He is here to cover our backs and keep us from falling into temptation. He empowers us to walk in the grace He supplies to triumph in all things.

Jesus came so we could partake of all things that pertain to our lives and Godliness by His Divine power. We need to focus more on His ability to do than our failures.

This is an inheritance the Father has for us not because of our works, but because of His love for us by which He has adopted us as His own very children through the sacrifice of Jesus for us. Look at John.1:12&13 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

You will notice as you look at this scripture that nothing you did gave you this privilege to become a child of God, but the operation of the Holy Spirit that births you once you receive the promise God made through Jesus to give you that right by receiving His word declared to you.

Now let us go further into the faithfulness of God towards us which the Holy Spirit brought back to my attention this morning in fellowship time. In 1 Thessalonians.5:23&24 we read these life giving words expressed through the mouth of the Apostle Paul that assures us of God’s faithfulness towards us in the now. Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

When the Holy Spirit first introduced this revelation to me He was pointing out to me the word “Now” and wanted me to step into that place of receiving in the “Now” what God had promised me. So step in with me into this reality for you in the now that the Holy Spirit wants for you to do and experience.

Yesterday I shared how Jesus sought to bring Martha into the now situation of life and see an awesome miracle or resurrection from the grave. Now may the God of peace Himself: that is Jesus the Prince of Peace, the King of peace, Person whose peace calmed the winds and storms and waves to absolute calm that startled the Disciples.

This Jesus Himself in all the characteristics of His peace sanctify you completely.”Total immersion into His peace overwhelming you.” Not demonic oppression overcoming you. You need to experience that part of the Lord in your life.The Peace of the Holy Spirit overwhelming and overshadowing your life and you entering God’s rest.

This means firstly to separate you from anything contrary to peace. All of it cut off from your life and existence. Then He sets you apart completely to everything that is His peace. Just pause a moment to thank the Lord for this reality and let it saturate your whole being, what the Lord has done for you.

When I realized that the Holy Spirit separated me from everything in the now that robs me of peace I knew my life would change and I would go on to experience the same peace Jesus walked in if only I yielded to that grace.

Let us look further at what this peace will do in your spirit, soul and body. God saved my spirit instantly but my soul which is my mind, my will, my emotions and my intellect are what have difficulties agreeing with God and need to be renewed daily to line up with this reality. We need to renew our minds daily to keep up to date with who we are in God and remember his faithfulness.

However Paul steps into this now moment in the Holy Spirit and points out that the Lord will preserve our minds, my wills, my emotions and our intellects blameless at the coming of the Lord Jesus.

This is not at the second coming of Jesus in the last day which Martha spoke of in the future, but Him manifesting Himself for us now as He pointed out in John.14:22&23 Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.

You see my brethren and sistren the Lord wants you preserved blameless till He comes in all aspects and areas of your life saturated by His peace which passes all understanding and guards your hearts and minds in the knowledge of Him. He comes to you in the now just as He came to the house of Jairus and changes things for you in a second.

Just feast on the conclusion of the statement “He is faithful who calls you who also will do it.” You are reliant on His faithfulness to do what He promised, not your wavering mind , emotions, will or intellect that constantly fail you. God will not break His covenant nor alter the word from His mouth but will fulfill His word to the letter as He pointed out to Abraham in Genesis.17:1&2 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. 2 And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”

Abraham went on to birth Issac even though He was 99 years old and Sarah was 90 years having been barren all her life. God preserved him blameless till he manifested the promise. That is the God you serve, He is faithful.

This is the reality the Holy Spirit wants you to see here that the Lord’s faithfulness will bring you to the point where you will birth the inheritance He has ordained for you by keeping you blameless before Him until He manifests what He promised you.

My prayer for you this morning is that as you hear these words your spirit will be reawakened to truth and you will embrace the grace being supplied to you by the Holy Spirit to come back into alignment with the will and purpose of God for your life and get back to the path God ordained for you, as you cease from roaming paths of death and failure and come into walking in the inheritance the Lord has reserved for you in this world.

May you walk in this renewed posture of the Holy Spirit and come into the full manifestation of God’s promise to you in the now of life in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He pointed out to me that we need to stop walking at cross purposes with Him in matters of the Spirit. We always have a tendency to move situations to the future rather than deal with them in the now because that does not demand anything from us.

The Holy Spirit however wants us to place a demand on the God of the now rather later which never seems to come once we choose to wait for later. In the scripture the Holy Spirit brought to my heart this morning to meditate on and expect to walk in today I will share some of the things the Holy Spirit revealed to me that should free you from putting off for later what God wants to do in the now of your life.

In John.11:21-26 we read this discourse between Jesus and Martha and take note of how Martha answers Jesus 1 Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”2Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”24 Martha said to Him, “I know that he will 3 rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

Martha firstly uses the excuse of Jesus not arriving on time to have stopped the unfortunate incident of Lazarus dying and blames Jesus for not caring. She offers Jesus no sacrifice of praise with her lips but complains with her lips and does not contemplate what miracle could happen if she just submitted to Jesus’s plan for today.

She knows better than that which she then blots out her mouth But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”She has the church trained voice to speak words of faith as a cover up for doubt. If you believe that fact Martha then why do you stagger at what Jesus wants to do to prove that fact in your life?

This needs to be a question we all need to ask ourselves when we are faced with a challenge that requires an act of God on our behalf that demands action in the now. This is because what we choose to believe and do at that moment will determine what happens. I am so happy that Jesus only takes the words of faith we speak and ignores our failures.

He is the High Priest over the confession of our mouths when they line up with His will.Jesus takes the words and goes on to tell her His plan for today which is that your brother will rise again.

Martha again brings the future up by telling Jesus she knows her bible and what future events hold by saying I already know that in the last day we will all be raised up. Well Jesus was not dealing with the last day but with today so why was Martha not cooperating?

She had no faith for today and was about to fall prey to the word that “today when you hear His voice do not harden your heart”as in the day of rebellion when your fathers tempted God. If you harden your heart God can do nothing for you so it is important that we open our hearts to what the Holy Spirit is saying for today and change to line up with Him so we can experience what God wants to do.

Jesus wants to nail her to today and change her expectancy for the now and goes on to tell her these words: “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

You would have thought that after hearing these words Martha would just believe. Why did she not believe Jesus was the resurrection and the life? She was refusing to engage with the now moment of faith though Jesus kept pushing her to take a stand. I am resurrection now so expect to see resurrection manifested today.

Just look at her answer in verse 27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” Jesus was not talking about coming into the world because He was already in the world and wanted to prove that reality to her that day but she kept using her knowledge of future scripture to rob her of the present moment of faith to receive in the now.

I want you to think on this matter with Martha and look at your life and ask yourself how many times have you done exactly what she did here and lost out on what God had planned for the day by excusing with scripture with future thoughts what you could have experienced in the now.

Martha fortunately goes on to see the miracle happen because her sister Mary has a different approach to Jesus and He can work with that and accomplish His will though she still butts in again when Jesus orders for the tomb to be opened and she talks about the smell of a dead body and Jesus has to rebuke her.

Well today the Holy Spirit wants you to look at what happened here with Martha and take care of those patterns in your life that rob you of God doing for you in the now. You don’t have a sister who can cover for your faults and make up the hedge for you so you have missed the opportunities and have gone on to blame the Lord for failing you. When in fact it was you who stumbled during the process just as Martha did and could not submit to the Holy Spirit’s leading.

Today is a new day and the Lord through these words wants to give you a fresh start again as you listen to them repent, turn and take fresh action of believing God to work in the now of life as grace is ministered to you to go beyond your doubts and fears to believing and receiving in the now.

May today mark the beginning of a new walk with the Holy Spirit of experiencing God working in the now of your life. Throw out all the excuses you have made to cover your doubts and embrace the faith for now. Your life will dramatically change as you surrender to thus saith the Holy Spirit in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He asked me what are we doing with the abundance of grace He has lavished upon us and the gift of righteousness? He shared with me the importance of using the grace and gifts He has bestowed upon us because that is the only way in which He can show His power through and among us and demonstrate the Kingdom of Jesus on earth for men to see.

The Kingdom will not be made manifest from the skies or through the wind taking over people. but only through the lives of Jesus’s faithful lovers and followers.

We need the Holy Spirit, pointed out to me in no certain terms the importance of us knowing who we are in Him and what and why He came to equip us for service to be vehicles through which His glory can be seen. All the encouragement and support that Jesus offers us is so that we are a true representation of His character and nature for men to see.

Just look at the words the enemies spoke about Peter and the Apostles in Acts.4:13&14 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. 14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

The Holy Spirit asked me if this is what men will say of me today? This is what men should say of us as followers and lovers of Jesus because He paid the price for us to have that rank of office on the earth to prove just how great He actually is.

The Holy Spirit went on further to point out to me to remember the words Jesus spoke to us in Matthew.11:28-30 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Now as you look at these words be ready to surrender every excuse you have for being incapable of being and doing what Jesus said you could do for His name sake.

Jesus invites us here to bring to Him every labor or work, effort, failure and the toll it has taken from us and everything that binds and imprisons us from moving forward to Him and He promises us that we will find rest.Not more turmoil, hurt, pain or more oppression. Jesus never says things He cannot do so when He says it. All we need to do is believe and receive it as fact and it will manifest for us.

Jesus offers us His yoke to take upon our lives, that is lay down our heavy yoke and burden and pick up His which is light and easy and find rest for our souls. Living in a place where our minds, wills, emotions and intellects are in complete agreement with Jesus and our bodies reflect His nature through us in clear distinct manifestation of signs, wonders and miracles that mean men can say of us they have been with Jesus and we marvel at what they have done in the name of Jesus.

This is the reason for the abundance of grace being imparted to us by the Holy Spirit so that through us the fragrance of the knowledge of God can be diffused through our lives to change the odors that satan has spewed over the earth to cause men to live in fear of death which Jesus has defeated once and for all. Jesus went about doing good healing all that were oppressed of the devil for God was with Him.

The gift of righteousness is to ensure that we are covered by Jesus who loved righteousness and hated lawlessness and was anointed above all His companions. Through the same righteousness that Jesus exuded we have it as a gift to execute that makes us reign in life by the One man Christ Jesus as we saw happen in the life of Peter and the Apostles in Acts.4 that caused their enemies to tremble in fear at what this would accomplish on the earth.

This my brethren is what the Holy Spirit wants us to have at the forefront of our lives at this season of time as we walk in the faith of Jesus demonstrating what only He can do which: no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered the heart of man what God has said but is being revealed to us by the operation of the Holy Spirit in our lives for all to see. This glorifying the name of the Lord Jesus.

My prayer for you today is that as you hear these words faith will arise in your souls and every grace necessary will awaken you to action to lay hold of these words in your hearts and go out and become diffusers of the fragrance of the knowledge of God in every place.

May you be so energized by the Holy Spirit’s grace that you are unrecognizable to your peers and it is said of you “”You have been with Jesus”” because the fragrance of the knowledge of Him is continually flowing through you in signs, wonders and miracles to glorify the name of Jesus and the Kingdom of Jesus is expanding and taking over in the earth.

Let this be your testimony in Jesus name. Amen.

There are words spoken often by men the Holy Spirit said to me in my communion time with Him this morning that we can ignore but what the Holy Spirit has spoken will happen even after a generation has gone on.

This is because His words are eternal and will work once we embrace and receive them and allow Him to fulfill them in our lives. On that note He wants you again today to renew your mind with words He had declared to you which He wants to manifest in your lives now.

When you first heard them you rejoiced, but as time went on they became more vague and distant to your mind because pressure arose against you to steal the word from you and your confession and meditation on the word ceased and now you can hardly remember the word.

However the Holy Spirit does not forget any word He speaks and is ready to help you lay hold of the truth again and see it manifest on your behalf.

So open your hearts this morning and allow these words to saturate your whole being and take over your consciousness and make you into a new person filled with the power and presence of the Holy Spirit that diffuses the fragrance of the knowledge of God in every place you walk in Jesus name.

In my fellowship time with the Holy Spirit this morning He spoke to me about seeing things beyond the plain and beyond the mountain to the place He has ordained for you to walk in this new season.

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

They shall be revealed to us through the Holy Spirit. He pointed out to me that this is not just words we speak from the bible because we know a couple of scriptures but real in that He the Holy Spirit is about to bring these realities in our lives in true live events that will happen.

He reminded me that the vision is for an appointed time and that it will speak.

It is not a vain imagination or a high thing which men have conceived but a product of the Holy Spirit which shall be birthed forth for the Lord’s glory to be revealed for men to see. God does not bring to the time of birth and then fails to bring forth.

It is as when the Lord said that a virgin will conceive and give birth to His son.

That thought was not conceivable in the eyes of men because it is not possible in the natural realm for that sort of event to take place, but the Lord said it because He had planned it and, was in the time appointed going to make it happen regardless of whether man believed it possible or not.

Man was going to be involved with the process and that singular event was going to change the course of history eternally and open a new breed of men loaded with God become the catalysts of the greatest moves of God in history, doing and carrying out feats for God that had never been seen before but became common place in the affairs of men.

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

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

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

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

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

Nothing can stop it so agree and align yourself to the truth and resist the lie that says impossible.

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

I pray that as these words register in your heart the grace contained in them will empower you to receive them and incubate them in your life to bring forth the fruit the Holy Spirit has ordained that eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor have entered the heart of man the things God has prepared at this time of the miraculous for you in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of this word and said I should share it again to lift you up and remind you of your position in the Lord and how you are to conduct your walk in this season. Do not allow the enemy room to disqualify you from your rightful inheritance which is for now. Lay hold of this sword of the Spirit in prayer and dig your heels in deep and stake your rightful claim and gain your triumph in Jesus name.

This beautiful morning the Precious Holy Spirit in my fellowship time with Him began thundering out of me scriptures of what has qualified me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He was reminding me of my rights and privileges as a son of God and the place I should walk in as an heir in the kingdom of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is such an encourager and a lifter of spirits to empower one to take action knowing you will be covered and supported by the Mighty Hand of the Lord. With the Holy Spirit helping you, there is nothing that is impossible and you will begin to see options in the most difficult and opposing situations. You will begin to visualize a path forward where it says no way through as Moses found out at the crossing of the Red Sea.

The path the Lord directed was through the Red Sea which would part for them to cross over on dry ground, the sea being the wall of protection for them.

Let me continue with the words the Holy Spirit thundered through me this morning. In Colossians.1:10-14 it reads these words that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

This scripture makes it perfectly clear that we as followers of Jesus should conduct our lives in a way that is worthy of the Lord, in other words our lives should not embarrass the Lord and discredit His name in any way shape or form.

We should be beacons of light and emblems of grace and glory that radiate His Presence and Power as a lighthouse for men to see and behold and, thus glorify the name of the Lord. We should be fully pleasing the Lord in our service of Him just as it said of Jesus. You are my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.

The Lord wants us so close to Him and in such close union with the Holy Spirit that we reflect His nature and character in everything we say or do. Like Jesus we only speak thus saith the Lord.

Now verse 12 puts the reality of what I shared into real context for us because we are told to thank the Lord because we have qualified to be partakers of this inheritance.

We have been given the certificate of having gone through the syllabus set and have proven ready, fit and competent enough from the standard of the Most High God to share in the inheritance of the good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Remember what Jesus spoke to His disciples in John.14:12-14 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

This points to the fact that all the works Jesus did we should do and are qualified to do and even greater works than He as a single person could do. We are qualified by the Holy Spirit to do the miracles, signs and wonders Jesus performed on earth as part of our inheritance package from the Lord.

This reality of receiving an inheritance package, just because I am qualified as a son is clear to me because I got the resources my natural Dad left me once he had passed on and got to enjoy the benefit of what I had not worked for, in a single moment of time because I claimed my right to it.

So I am ecstatic when the Holy Spirit reminds me of what I am qualified to receive because Jesus who is perfect has reserved it for me to partake of it in the now of life.

I pray today that as you receive these words from the Lord every grace contained in them will become real in you and you will begin to partake of your inheritance in Jesus for real and experience what it really means to be a son of the Most High God. May the reality of the Holy Spirit walking in and through you to manifest the Hand of the Lord on your behalf become a daily reality in your life and experience here on earth.

May you glorify the name of the Lord.

Jesus desires that you are raised as a beacon of light and a banner of righteousness, a gem of marvelous Praise to His wonderful name that men can clearly see and know God from in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit, He spoke to me about going on further to diffusing the fragrance of the knowledge of God in every place. The Holy Spirit leads us out in triumph in Christ and then through us manifests the fragrance of the knowledge of God in every place.

The Holy Spirit further pointed out what does the fragrance of the knowledge of God look like in any environment. We as His followers and lovers should be very aware and conscious of the fragrance of the knowledge of God because it should be exuding through our lives daily.

Let us further investigate what the fragrance of the knowledge of God being present does in a place. In Matthew.4:15&16 we read these words of prophecy “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,Galilee of the Gentiles:16

The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned.”

You will notice that this prophecy did not come to pass when Jesus was born but after He was baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit that fragrance of the knowledge of God begins to be seen. Let us explore further. Matthew.4:23&24 reads these words as the headlines of the time 3 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. 24 Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. 25 Great multitudes followed Him—from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

One thing is very clear to note from this news that the odor of satan was being removed from these places as the fragrance of the knowledge of God was being diffused by Jesus on the people and look at the great multitudes that followed Him.

We see further on a greater manifestation of the fragrance of the knowledge of God being diffused and taking over the bad odor of satan which had been present before in Luke.6:17-19 And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases, 18 as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed. 19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.

This the Holy Spirit said to me is how the fragrance of the knowledge of God is spread in every place. It produces such exuberant joy and celebration because men are freed from oppression and it is visible for men to look at and behold, not hope that they will see in the future. The fragrance of the knowledge of God is real and cannot be denied even by the fiercest adversary or opposition because men can see it with their own eyes and it cannot be denied.

Let us look in further with the Apostle Peter so we see that the fragrance of the Knowledge of God was not only present with the master Jesus but also with His followers and even Peter who denied that he knew Jesus to a slave girl and began swearing and cursing to prove that he was different from Jesus.

In Acts.5:12-16 just look at the headline news of the day And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch. 13 Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly. 14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. 16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed. This my beloved is the reality of the fragrance of the knowledge of God in manifestation through miracles, signs and wonders that men cannot deny and a removal of the odor of satan in human lives.

Just look how many people were gathered as a result of the fragrance of the knowledge of God in manifestation.

Finally let us look at the apostle Paul just in case you are still doubtful about who qualifies to diffuse the fragrance of the knowledge of God. A former blasphemer of the Jesus whose fragrance he begins to diffuse for men to see.

In Acts.19:11&12 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. Acts.19:17-20 This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. 18 And many who had believed came confessing and telling their deeds. 19 Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.

Through the fragrance of the knowledge of God being diffused by the Apostle Paul we see again the word of God prevailing over every demonic odor and changing the fragrance to a sweet smelling aroma of life in people that could not be denied by any person.

This my brethren is real and should be our reality as followers, lovers and servants of Jesus. My prayer for you today is that as you hear these words of truth concerning you and what your life should produce you will find the grace the Holy Spirit supplies to you through these words to position yourselves in marriage to the Spirit of Triumph in Christ and then go on to manifest the Fragrance of the knowledge of God in every place so the Kingdom of Jesus will be expanded out to cover the earth with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters over the sea.

Be determined that you will be a part of the carriers of the Fragrance of the knowledge of God on the earth. Give yourself entirely over to the Lord and lay aside every weight, obstacle, natural desire and impediment that would hinder you from moving forward in your pursuit of being a fragrance of the Holy Spirit diffuser of the glory of the Lord for the world to see Jesus lifted up as His glory cover the earth as the waters cover the sea and righteousness takes over the earth in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning spoke to me in my communion time with Him of being married to the Spirit of Triumph in Christ Jesus and through that union always being in the position where we are continuously walking in the place of triumph regardless of the place we started, even if from an ash heap.

My heart was excited at the prospect of that reality because I know that in many situations in my life there have been places of victory I won that have been snatched away from me, because I was unaware of how to correctly navigate after the success and ended up losing ground.

This was a pattern that the apostle Paul went through where He had major success in a Region and then found himself being driven away from that place through the influential people who stirred up trouble against his witness and he was expelled from that region. I always wanted to know why this kept happening to Paul so I could navigate without falling into the same defeat.

Let me now share some of the things the Holy Spirit pointed out to me about marriage to the Spirit of triumph in Christ Jesus. In 2 Corinthians 2:14 we read these words written by the apostle Paul: Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

I recall the first day that revelation became real to me because as I read and meditated on it I noticed that Paul spoke those words after he had missed an open door of opportunity in Troas where everything was perfect and the people were ready and there was no opposition to Paul sharing his message.

The people were eager to hear and receive his word, but Paul was the person not at rest and could not take advantage of this open access the Lord had given him and I was stunned because I knew how many times he had struggled to gain open access and the level of warfare he had to do just to prepare the ground and now everything was open and he capitulated and then goes on to say the Lord always leads us in triumph. So I asked the Holy Spirit how this was a triumph when he leaves not having done anything.

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me that Paul was led out in triumph into Troas, but his behavior/conduct caused him to miss out not the Spirit of triumph. Had Paul ministered to the people there would have been much triumph that was made manifest in the lives of people.

“I learned a lesson there.” “That although the Lord can open the door for us our conduct in every situation can and does determine the final outcome.”

This points to the fact that we must always be ready to take the opportunities the Lord presents. We need to be watchful, alert and girded with truth to make good every opportunity the Lord makes available. A clear portrait of the importance of our responsibility to steward the truth faithfully. The Holy Spirit went on to speak to me today on being married to the Spirit of triumph.

This speaks of being one with the Spirit of triumph and walking in total harmony and choreographed movement with Him as one entity. It also speaks of complete agreement with Triumph and not defeat in any situation no matter how it looks or appears. The end result will always be triumph.

He spoke of close continuous conversation with the Spirit of Triumph and resting on His decisions as the Carer and Responsible One for ensuring that we are not harmed or hurt in any situation. The Holy Spirit spoke of a much greater intimacy and knowing of one another which is only experienced in marriage.

Things of the ways of triumph and how it works being revealed that those outside are not privy to share in.The ultimate end being that you cannot distinguish between the Spirit of Triumph and you as you are completely One entity speaking with One clear voice that cannot be separated. This means an end to any situation or circumstance in life ending up in shame or disgrace or failure.

The fragrance of the knowledge of the glory of the Lord is always present in every place you step and walk in. Also having a share in everything that the Spirit of Triumph owns and possesses on a daily basis and access to it.

Now walking in this place of continued triumph demands attention and dedication to fellowship time, communion time and much continuous conversation with Him to get to know what the Spirit of Triumph possesses and how to make use of it in every situation in life.

Jesus never ever suffered a single defeat in His life and ministry and even when He consented to face the cross and die on our behalf the day they arrested Him as He mentioned I am the One you are looking for In John’s gospel.18 verse 6 Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground. The men fell under the power of the Spirit. His power was so tremendous it could still heal the servant whose ear Peter cut off even as they arrested Him.

My precious ones as you hear these words this morning embrace the grace that comes to you through them and make the quality decision to go wholly after union and marriage to the Spirit of Triumph in your life.

This will move you from the cycle of victory and defeat and then waiting and coming back to reality only to revisit the same scenario over and over again. Victory and defeat. Agree with the Spirit of Triumph in Christ and let the fragrance of the Knowledge of Him be your continued smell of beauty and radiance to a world that is dying as the Lifeline of Jesus to free and release men from bondage and oppression.

Repent fully of every time you have yielded to shame and disgrace and come short of Triumph over any situation in your life and return to the place where Triumph reigns again in your lives and the kingdom of Jesus is prevalent in all your life events. Let the fragrance of the Knowledge of Him exude through you wherever you go in bringing Triumph in all things in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning the Holy Spirit in our communion time revealed to me more about the unveiling of the Person and character of Jesus in our personal lives so that we are completely lost in who He is and ourselves only reflect who He is. The Holy Spirit reminded me that no matter the level we walked in yesterday there is a new facet of truth for today that compliments and further broadens our scope and working knowledge of Jesus’s authority and how we execute it on the earth to expand out His Kingdom and glory.

I was so full yesterday after my time with the Holy Spirit but have come to realize by reason of experience that after such an awesome time with the Lord there is always a greater place I must press towards which keeps me in check and reminds me of my total utter dependence on the Holy Spirit to guide my actions and keep me rooted in the Spirit in my walk with the Lord.

As I have meditated this morning on the book of Revelation it has been like a brand new experience again with the Lord as my eyes have been opened to things I wonder now how I did not seem to recognize before though I looked carefully at each verse and believed them and received them time and time again.

However when the Holy Spirit highlights truth it is a completely different matter as the perspective He comes from far outweighs my thoughts just as it is written. Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has entered the heart of man the things the Lord has prepared for those who love Him , but He reveals them to us through the Holy Spirit.

It is amazing to behold what John experienced of the Person of Jesus on whose bosom he rested on years and the revealed Jesus he saw as the unveiling of Jesus in His glorified state actually is. John is so awestruck that he falls down as though dead as he sees the resurrected and glorified Jesus from His glorified state in heaven with all authority at His disposal.

This is years after John’s faithful service and witness of who Jesus was to nations and had experienced of His power at work. That reality should always keep us humble because no matter what we have experienced of the Lord it is not the end of who He is in real terms.

Let me now share some of the things the Holy Spirit pointed out to me in this morning’s communion time. As I looked at Revelation.1:5&6 my attention was immediately taken to Romans.5:17 which reads these awesome words of deliverance For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

Now I have realized that words describing what God has done are not spoken to impress us with fancy language but, truly even come short many a time of the real import of how great and awesome God actually is and does on our behalf.

It is clear from this statement that what Adam did meant that death has reigned in the human race because of his singular action. This is the reason for iniquity working out in men and our propensity to sin. I was never trained to sin but taught the right things to do by my Parents however I just seemed to be moved to do the wrong thing I was not taught, till Jesus found and saved me and opened my heart to the reality I could live free of sin.

The much more Paul speaks about here is that the sacrifice of Jesus far outweighs the sin of adam and as a result we are able to receive an abundance of grace. This therefore must be our goal much more grace.

That is every grace which is God’s supernatural ability to do and be what God said we could be. Everything necessary for every human being regardless of your background to walk in that which causes us to triumph. This is what Jesus has made available to us so we don’t keep tripping up and missing the mark by stumbling and continually falling short of the will of God.

When you face persecution and hurt for helping others and freeing people from the enemy and you are hurt for no reason but jealousy it can be very trying and distressing but Jesus in this statement makes clear that no matter what transpires in life you will triumph and reign because He gives you the necessary grace and gift of righteousness to make that a reality. You always reign in every situation in life.

I heard Kathryn Kuhlman say that Jesus has done for us so much that we should not suffer a single defeat in any situation in life. I believed that word and have sought live by it so I can experience everything Jesus paid for me to have.

Today again the Holy Spirit is reminding me of its reality and despite my weaknesses and failures as a human, my reliance must be on what Jesus did and provided through Grace to make me able to partake of His righteousness that enables me to reign in life, not my righteousness.

The Apostle Paul goes on to say in 2 Timothy.4:16-18 At my first defense no one stood with me, but all forsook me. May it not be charged against them.17 But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 18 And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen!

This is the picture the Holy Spirit was pointing out to me this morning which John experienced of Jesus on the Isle of Patmos: that it was His grace that brought us out triumphant regardless of where we had been trapped and held in captivity.

No wonder Paul could pen down these words in Romans.5 because he experienced personal deliverance and triumph and got to reign in life by the abundant grace of God and His gift of righteousness which Paul knew would work continuously to deliver Paul from every evil work satan could muster to bring Paul down and preserve Paul to complete his service to the Lord on this earth of reaching the Gentile world for the name of Jesus which Paul went on to accomplish.

What the Holy Spirit has planned for us to accomplish for Jesus far transcends our human imaginations but is real and He will grace us with everything necessary to make it come to pass to glorify His Holy Name as we get to reign in life by Jesus the Anointed One.

My prayer for you this morning is that as you hear these words the abundance of grace contained in them will give you all the necessary help, aid and support you need individually to make it through every obstacle and find yourself back in the center of God’s will for your life as a triumpher in all things of evil that seek to harm you and you end up reigning in life by what Jesus did to position you in that place of glory for His name sake.

Let your heart meditate on what Jesus did to save and deliver you and present you to be for His service a true witness of His grace and power for men to see. Break free from the condemnation of the enemy and see yourself walking in the place Jesus ordained for you to be and remember that it is Jesus who asked you to follow Him so He could make you. Not you make yourself as that will fail miserably. Jesus has every equipment and grace available to make you succeed.

So you need to submit and yield to that grace and watch what the Holy Spirit will make out of your life for the glory of Jesus: A banner of light, A gem of glory and standard Bearer of the Omnipotent Power of the Most High God on earth through signs, wonders and unusual miracles and manifestations of the Holy Spirit in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning the Holy Spirit in my communion time with Him spoke to me about not asking the Lord for anything that is conceivable. He wants us to graduate to the place where we only think and act as Jesus acts and does. The Holy Spirit reminded me that on the day Jesus fed the five thousand in John.6 He did not plan the meal and how much He would need, that is the cost necessary to accomplish that goal but just allowed the direction from the Holy Spirit to lead Him how to approach the event that arose.

You will notice that Jesus asked Philip the question: where will we buy bread to feed these people to eat bread, though Jesus Himself knew what He would do. Jesus was inviting Philip to walk in a place where he Philip could walk in what is inconceivable and accomplish a marvel though they had not planned in the natural for the event.

My prayers the Holy Spirit said need to graduate to where I ask for what is not humanly conceivable, but for what will startle men and leave them speechless as the Lord performs His will.The Holy Spirit reminded me that I have been crucified with Christ which points out that I am dead and gone but Christ has taken up residence in me and now wants to express His faith through me to show just how Awesome and stupendous His power is.

This is because His name is greater than any other name and can do anything at any given point in time. Jesus in John.6 did not need money to buy bread, but He needed faith to believe that God could multiply five loaves and two fish to feed five thousand men plus women and children and have enough left over to fill twelve baskets.

Let us look at what was required to make that happen. Jesus we see had not checked the account that morning with Judas to ascertain that there was enough in the account to cover that expense. He just lined up His mind to the Holy Spirit and what and how the Holy Spirit would direct Him to do to make the impossible possible.

Jesus did not spend that morning tossing over and over in His mind how that feeding would take place. He had absolute confidence in what the Holy Spirit would lead Him to do and remained in praise of His Father’s name and only spoke the words His Father directed and fully cooperated with the instructions of the Holy Spirit and went on to perform that marvel that startled men who observed that event and partook of the bread and fish.

To show you clearly that Jesus wants us to be partakers of working such miracles in the now of our lives, the Holy Spirit pointed out to me to listen to what He Jesus said to the disciples in Matthew.16:9-11 Do you not yet understand, or remember the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets you took up? 10 Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many large baskets you took up? 11 How is it you do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread?

Jesus had expected that the disciples should have understood the process of what happened in each miracle incident of the feeding thousands of people from virtually nothing.

From Jesus’s perspective they should have developed from those two events an unshakeable faith and trust that the Lord could do miracles from nothing without any prior notice being given to them ahead of time. Verse.8 makes it perfectly clear Jesus was not impressed with their comprehension of spiritual matters as yet when He said these words But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “O you of little faith, why do you reason among yourselves because you have brought no bread?

Your trust is still way below par because you are struggling concerning provision on such a small matter for your need having experienced far greater provision before on occasions that thousands were fed off the cuff without prior financial preparation.

This is the place the Holy Spirit is pointing out to me this morning that He expects us to be walking in at this season where the faith of Jesus will be demonstrated on the earth again for men to see, marvel and be converted to serve Him because He Jesus has the answers for life’s questions.

We should be looking at and expecting to walk in what we as humans cannot conceive or fathom in our hearts, but which the Holy Spirit can birth in the heart that surrenders totally to Him to express Jesus’s will through them. It is clear that dead men don’t do anything but can be carried around anywhere the carrier of the body chooses and be placed there and displayed at the behest of the carrier.

This is why the Apostle Paul pointed out in Galatians.2:20 that we have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer we who live but Christ who lives in us and the life we now live in the flesh, we live by the faith of the Son of God who gave His life for us. What should be manifested through us should be Jesus in action not our weakness which points to the fact we are still alive.

“The Holy Spirit does not need us alive fighting Him but dead totally submitted to Him.”

Jesus in John.21:18 said these words to Peter Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.”

Peter, Jesus was pointing out would be so dead that He allowed the Holy Spirit to gird him and take him where Peter would not go on his own initiative. This is what the Holy Spirit is alluding to this morning in His conversation to me that we should be asking Him to do what is inconceivable from our perspective but is the mind of Christ for us to accomplish on behalf of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.

For my part there were two countries I said I would never go to in my life again Sierra Leone and Nigeria but the Holy Spirit changed my heart on both of them and gave me a love for the people that I never believed I could ever have and I have ministered for Jesus to them and had wonderful miraculous results. I recall the season I was praying for both Countries by direction of the Holy Spirit and after that started just coming in contact with Nigerians and Sierra Leonians who needed my spiritual help in London, then Botswana and the USA.

We cannot run away from the Lord’s plan for our lives as it will keep surfacing in our events and we need to just submit to His will and let the Holy Spirit have His way in us. My parents were Sierra Leoneans but when I left Sierra Leone in 1985 and I thought then that things were bad. I had said I would never come back to this Country. I called it wretched but in 1992 the Lord melted my heart and I started praying for it with the love and grace of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit began to give me visions of me ministering there which went on to manifest when I went there in 1993 and saw the Lord through the Holy Spirit do such marvels in terms of miracles, signs and wonders that I grew to love the people and the country again and have been there often on so many more occasions over the years and seen the hand of the Lord manifested in many ways.

In conclusion this morning I pray that these words will penetrate your hearts and you will find the grace supplied through them to love what you have hated and line up back with the purpose of God for your lives and go on to receive and walk in all Jesus has purposed for you to do for His glory outside your comfort zone in places you never believed you would ever go to and, thus glorify the name of Jesus.

Let your heart also be stirred to walk in the place with the Holy Spirit where you only ask what is naturally inconceivable to you but which is the heart and mind of Christ for you.

I beseech you to surrender your heart, soul that is your (mind, will ,emotions, intellect) and body to go do what the Holy Spirit leads and guides you to do which contravenes natural law but will show forth the might of the hand of the Lord on your behalf in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Yesterday was such a beautiful day because the Holy Spirit prophesied so many things through me about worldly events that will take place in the now, some in the next couple of years. We need to remember that the Holy Spirit has the mission of revealing to us the events of the future so we are prepared to handle different situations and circumstances that arise.

If you look through the Gospels and I invite you to do a specific study on this theme, Jesus was never surprised about anything that happened to and against Him. Jesus was always in the know about future events and He had an exceedingly great and close relationship to the Holy Spirit and pointed out clearly in John.5:19 that He could do nothing except what He saw the Father do. Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. 20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

This is the place the Father wants us, the followers and lovers of Jesus to walk in. The place where all Jesus wants to do, He reveals to us, and we in turn carry out those instructions on earth and it causes men to marvel. I have found that no matter how dire situations look or appear to be we must not prejudge them, but ask the Holy Spirit what is God’s perspective on it and how does He intend to solve and change the narrative to line up with His will.

I must admit and say that the Holy Spirit’s view on things is far greater and higher than our punny thoughts and imaginations. It is always better not to say what we think but to wait and say only what the Holy Spirit says.

I am reminded this morning as I am writing this post after my communion time with the Holy Spirit of the time in Luke.21:5&6 when the people spoke of the beauty of the temple and the response of Jesus who had a revelation of future events made in response to men’s praise of what is available in the present.

Then, as some spoke of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said, 6 “These things which you see—the days will come in which not one stone shall be left upon another that shall not be thrown down.”

People would say Jesus is speaking words of doom about what is a beautiful place that is a refuge for humans to attend and get blessed. No Jesus was only pointing out the truth that what men revered was going to be torn down.

This is because it did not represent the will of the Father anymore because it was only a nice looking building that had lost its function to help people find God and gain relationship with Him. If those people had any discernment they would have seen that to listen to Jesus and follow what He said would enable them to live in union with the Father and escape the lie which the building had now become and not wait till it was removed to know how to navigate life. To have foreknowledge is greater than hindsight. Remember that reality.

However look at the response of the Disciples of Jesus to what He said in verse 7. So they asked Him, saying, “Teacher, but when will these things be? And what sign will there be when these things are about to take place?” They had recognised from being in relationship with Jesus that He had knowledge of future events because the things He told them had constantly come to pass exactly as He had spoken.

His record on future events prediction was perfect so they knew to ask what was needed to prepare for what He just said.This is exactly how we must be with the Holy Spirit in listening attentively to His prediction of future events then asking Him how we need to prepare correctly the way to respond when those things happen.

The same thing Jesus had we have and that is why Jesus said I will send you another Comforter to be with you forever that is the Spirit of truth who will guide you into all truth and reveal future events to you so you don’t perish, with those who only see from the natural realm and are unable to avoid impending disaster that is headed their way.

They were so sure Jesus knew the exact moment and times of events so they asked what they needed to do. Jesus goes on to tell them to watch out for deception through what men will rise up and start saying to draw them from truth. We also need to make sure we don’t allow new doctrines and fancy things take our attention away from the truth and remain in close communion with the Spirit of truth to get all the latest updates on events pending on the calendar of God the Father and Jesus about to happen on the earth.

What a great privilege we have today to be in relationship with the Holy Spirit who informs us of things that will happen and keeps us protected from harm and danger if we would listen to Him. His help to me has enabled me to navigate so many situations in life successfully and made me ready to face and deal with tricky life threatening situations with grace to triumph no matter what has suddenly sprung up against me.

My prayer for you today is that through these words you will be stirred to take action through the grace supplied to you in them to pursue a greater relationship with the Holy Spirit so you find yourself in a more informed position about the events in life. Your life will dramatically change and become fruitful and productive. Your prayer life will blossom and you will obtain Holy Spirit strategies to obtain answers to your prayers and walk in triumph in every situation in life.

Lay hold with all of your heart of these truths and let the Holy Spirit have a greater influence in the affairs of your life and, just watch and see the difference that will occur in your productivity and fruitfulness.

The end result for you will be that your life will be a sign and wonder for men to see and come to the Knowledge of God for which you were created. Let Jesus light shine out through you so men may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven in Jesus Name. Amen.
