The Holy Spirit this morning in our communion time reminded me of the goal we as the followers and lovers of Jesus must aspire to walk in on a daily basis.The fullness of God! The Holy Spirit is with us to work with us to enable us to reach and achieve that goal in life. Ephesians.3:19.

Today the Holy Spirit wants us to examine carefully, then from our examination of what this would entail take stock by looking at what it will take to walk in that place. What are the things we will need to do that position us in a place where the Holy Spirit is able to fill us with all the fullness of God. Firstly in order to be filled with the fullness of something. We must firstly be emptied of what was in us first. We then must allow ourselves to eat and drink so much of what we want in order to be filled completely with it until it completely saturates our whole being. Isaiah.25:6.

So in order to be filled with all the fullness of God you need to be so full of the Holy Spirit that He has complete control and dominion of who you are. To the extent that none of you is visible anymore, but what becomes visible in you is the Holy Spirit in terms of His nature, character and manifestation in everything you say and do. Acts.6:8.

In order to fully grasp what the Holy Spirit is saying to us today let us look at Ephesians.3:16-19 which reads these words: that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Just feast on the progression of truth that the Apostle Paul points out is available to each follower and lover of Jesus. The Holy Spirit has the responsibility to grant to us everything according to the riches of Christ’s glory which He has access to for our benefit. He is empowered by Jesus to bestow every  equipment and grace necessary to accomplish the will of Jesus in our lives. John.16:14.

The Lord does not want us to experience the limitations or little portions of His glory but the riches of His glory. So don’t ever be satisfied with snippets of the manifestation of the Holy Spirit in your lives, but pursue the ultimate goal of God’s fullness manifested in you.

This amounts to everything that the Lord owns and possesses, which is everything. Hebrews.1:2 & 3. Think carefully what this means for you. All wisdom, all knowledge, all understanding, all might, all counsel, all ability to judge impartially without fault by the Spirit, all ability to decide with equity for the meek on the earth, all authority to speak with the rod of your mouth and through your lips slay the wicked by executing all righteousness and faithfulness with which you are girded. Isaiah.11:4 & 5.

In addition to this all the miraculous power of God to work signs, wonders and extraordinary miracles that no eye has seen, nor ear heard or any heart ever considered possible what the Lord can and will do in any given moment of time through a human follower and lover of Jesus. John.14:12.

This is reserved for the person who empties himself of self and makes his vessel available for God through the Holy Spirit to fill Him with Himself so only the Holy Spirit can be seen at  work in your life. Romans.8:29.

It is a staggering thought to imagine but it is real and attainable that the Holy Spirit truly wants us to walk in that place of the fullness of God so that the name of Jesus is magnified on the earth. John.1:16. As you can see from this word that it is the Holy Spirit that grants this privilege to you as Jesus’s choice for your life to be strengthened with might through the Holy Spirit in your inner man. So loaded with God to the point where all any human can see in you is Jesus at work.

None of self but all of the Lord. That is where Jesus wants us walking and that is why He gave Himself to death so we could now live in that place of life on earth as His representatives, loaded and clothed with all His glory.

Let us through His abundant grace allow our hearts to be stretched further in this truth. That Christ the Anointed One may dwell in us, that is the anointing of the anointed One living in us through faith. The faith of Jesus which the Holy Spirit works in us that cannot be denied an answer and through whom nothing is impossible. Galatians.2:20.

The Lord wants us living in a place where we are so rooted and grounded in the love of God that our comprehension spills over to the full extent in width, length, breadth and height of the love of God which surpasses knowledge in order to be filled with all the fullness of God.

This is exactly where Jesus wants all His followers and lovers to walk in on a daily basis so that His name and kingdom are visible on the earth. The Lord Jesus in heaven forever lives to make continuous intercession for us to see that this reality is manifested in our lives here on earth. Romans.8:27.

We therefore choose to yield ourselves to experience the full splendor of this reality in our lives on the earth to glorify His wonderful name.

This means that whatever we need to give up by surrender of ourselves to embrace this truth we submit to in order that the Lord will have His way in us.

The Apostle Paul makes this clear in Philippians.3:7-11 which reads these words:  But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

The Apostle Paul was saying I lay down all my achievements in life to gain what Jesus has for me which is being filled with all the fullness of God so my life reflects only what Jesus desires for me and not my desire for my life which in truth will amount to nothing anyway. No matter how great I think it is in human terms. It can never match what God desires for me to have and experience through the name of Jesus.

My prayer for you today is that as you hear these words your heart will explode with joy to receive every grace necessary to walk in the reality of this truth as lay down everything that has prevented you from believing what thus saith the Lord for your life is. May your singular pursuit become walking in this place the Lord has prepared for you by the Holy Spirit.

Let your heart be so stirred to action that you follow completely after the Voice of the Holy Spirit to guide you to walk in this place as you become God’s gem banner sparkling over the nations so He has full glory from your life in Jesus name. Amen. 

Have a productive, fruitful day that exemplifies the gem banner the Lord has made you to sparkle over nations in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in our communion time impressed on me to share further on what we need to do after we have come boldly into the holiest place where the Lord dwells. He spoke of the importance of the posture our hearts must take and be in to fully maximize the benefits we have been granted by the Lord. We most times forget about the heavenly protocol we must abide by when operating in the holiest place in the Universe. Revelation.5.

We need to remember that everything we gain from the Father God and Jesus depends on the stance our hearts take. The how and what our hearts respond to concerning the word of the Lord will determine the progress or failure we experience. The Holy Spirit constantly puts emphasis on where our hearts are in any matter because the heart position will determine the outcome we receive in spite of what God promises. Romans.10:10.

So let us dig further into Hebrews.10:22 which reads these words: let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

We notice firstly that we must draw near to God with a true heart meaning that if we come to the Lord with a false heart we will not be accepted. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth so in order to embrace His help and support we must desire to know the truth and eradicate lies from our hearts.

Our hearts must love truth because only knowing the truth will make us free from deception and its consequences which are death. John.8:31 & 32.

So in order to draw near to God our hearts must embrace the truth in full assurance of faith. You ask what is full assurance of faith and how do we walk in that? Does it mean we need to be perfect and have no faults? Well that is a tall order you will say, and no one can be that and do it?

Let us examine the concept of full assurance of faith and see how we can use it in our hearts so we can benefit from it to better go on to experience all of God’s best the Lord has for us in the now season of life.

Full assurance of faith is not dependent on us but on our heart believing what God has already done on our behalf. Your heart must choose to believe what the Lord has already accomplished for you and receive it as fact. Your heart must be resolute in believing that what God has said, He will do, and what He has spoken, He will perform and accomplish.

Full assurance of faith is that your heart believes implicitly by confessing what God spoke as if it is so in the now. Then refuses to believe or accept anything other than that fact. The woman with the issue of blood is a clear example of this fact. She had never met Jesus, never attended any of His meetings, or studied His ministry. However her heart was convinced about His authority.

She had only heard witness stories that Jesus heals the sick and on the basis of that fact, she decided in her heart that if she just touched the hem of His garment she would be healed. She kept confessing that fact until the day she was in His vicinity and touched the hem of His garment. Then she experienced what she had said over and over again from her heart’s belief that Jesus possessed the power in Him that when she touched Him she would be whole and it happened just as she believed. Mark.5:25-34.

Jesus confirmed this truth as He went on to say to her in the presence of everybody present that your faith has made you whole. Not my power but your full assurance in heart of my ability has given you this miracle. While those near Jesus had received nothing because they were waiting for Jesus to do something rather than approaching Jesus with an assurance of faith in heart of what He said He came to do on their behalf. John.1:11-13.

In Luke.4:18 & 19,21 we read these words: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the broken hearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; 19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” 21 And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.”

From that moment Jesus said this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing any person who drew near in full assurance of faith that what Jesus said was true. Then believed it in their hearts would receive by their confession all Jesus said they could have concerning that promise. This is so not because they are perfect but because they chose to believe what Jesus said they could experience because of Him.

This is how you draw near in full assurance of faith with a true heart by embracing all the Holy Spirit has available for you. Then receive it because of what Jesus already did for us, not based on your ability or righteous acts. You have no place to boast about this because you only received it because of what Jesus did to make that possible when you engage your heart in full assurance of faith in His ability.

This assurance of faith then works to sprinkle your conscience from evil works and washes your body with pure water that presents you acceptable to God.

I pray that as you hear and embrace this truth the grace flowing from these words will be poured out on you to see it manifested in your life. The greatest miracle will be you walking in the place of full assurance of faith in Jesus’s ability to do everything He promised you can partake of through His sacrifice for you.

Only permit your heart to believe and confess what Jesus said. Throw out the opinions of men and their fears or concerns about God’s ability from your heart. Only believe what Jesus declared. Then boldly live your life resting your heart on what Jesus said by going ahead to experience all the benefits of drawing near to God in full assurance of faith.

Knowing that His ability always does exceedingly abundantly and above all you could ask or think according to His power working in you in Jesus name. Amen. Ephesians.3:20.

This morning the Holy Spirit in our communion time challenged me about whether we are truly ready to walk in everything He has planned for us to experience in this new season of the manifestation of the power and glory of the Lord to be seen on the earth. Do we truly fathom the full scope and density of what will happen as the power of the Most High overtakes and overshadows our lives?

Are we totally aware of what it will involve walking in the greater works than these which the Holy Spirit has been speaking of through His servants? When we hear of what servants of God like Smith Wigglesworth, John G Lake and others like A A Allen, Oral Roberts, Kathryn Kulhman, Kenneth Hagin walked in on a daily basis who all prophesied a greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit than they experienced was coming.

Are we really ready to walk in that place or do we believe it to be an illusion in their hearts to stay humble? I have found that the Holy Spirit over the years has continually challenged me to walk in all that Jesus did then to press deeper towards walking in the greater works than these Jesus spoke of. John points out in John.21:25 these words: And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.

In other words the Holy Spirit was pointing out to me that what He does through me or our lives should be so much that no book written can fully cover the vast scope of miracles, signs and wonders He has accomplished through our lives. If we have been called by the Lord to do the works He did and greater; then that is the place we should be walking. We should aspire to live in that realm of glory because that alone will please the One who appointed us to that task. Jesus never says what He does not mean.

Once Jesus speaks a word it is spirit and life. So you can confidently rest your life on what He said. We need to remove whatever doubt we have allowed in our hearts and choose to agree with the truth. There are many things the Holy Spirit has done through me that I never thought possible but I chose to believe in Him and obeyed His instructions. Then supernaturally the power, strength and ability were made available to me to accomplish them.

The Holy Spirit wants us again to revisit the awesome deeds He did through the servants of God in the bible. Then as a point of contact we begin to expect the same results and even more to flow from our lives.

The Holy Spirit is poised and always ready to deliver and demonstrate in this season the exceedingly, abundantly and above all we could ask or think through His Power at work in us. Ephesians.3:20. We are about to see the Holy Spirit exhibiting through us the faith and tenacity of asking which Jesus manifested working through our lives as the answer to those prayers of Jesus to see greater dimensions of His glory on earth.

Our lives will reflect the answer to prayers that Jesus thought, determined, interceded, asked and received that we should walk in. Our lives will walk in answers to the prayers Jesus prayed that must happen in the earth realm proving the reality of His wonderful name. It is one thing having your faith in Jesus. It is completely different to be walking in the faith of Jesus where it is His decision guiding and directing the path. John.17:24.

When the Apostle Paul writes in Ephesians.3:20 these words; Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

The reality of this prayer being answered is what the Lord is going to accomplish here. It is not a manifestation originated by our prayer because we could never think of asking for this because it is above our puny human thought. So as it manifests as an answer to the prayers of Jesus we are receiving and partaking of what Jesus determined we should walk in according to His power deposited in us to walk this out in the now. John.4:38.

Let this truth sink in as you meditate on it. Then allow this reality of sharing in the glory of the Lord to saturate your whole being so you can receive and experience what the Holy Spirit is pointing out you will walk in going forward in this season of life.

As the Holy Spirit spoke these words to me my heart leapt for joy because I know the difference between walking in my faith and operating in the faith of the Holy Spirit which emanates from Jesus. Walking in the faith of Jesus means nothing is impossible to you.

What the Holy Spirit can accomplish in one minute. A hundred years of man’s working cannot even comprehend it. I am always deeply stirred and excited when the Holy Spirit speaks of doing things He initiated because it is always wonderful and glorious beyond human limitations. Let us look at some examples of what I am talking about from the book of Acts.

In Acts.5:15 & 16 we read these words: 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.

What did Peter do here that was different? Did he send for the advertising team to promote the meetings? Were messages sent to those sick people inviting them to come to a special service he was holding in the streets with beds and couches? Certainly not. Did Peter send out word to the surrounding cities of Jerusalem inviting people to attend his various street revival meetings to bring sick people and demon possessed people to come and be healed through his shadow? No.

It was the sovereign move of the Holy Spirit that drew those people to come at that moment of time to those streets and believe that Peter’s shadow would heal them. Peter did not even touch a single person or even speak to them. It was the power of the Holy Spirit that did all the work and Peter only got to hear what had happened as he walked those various streets and saw people getting off beds leaping, walking and praising God saying we have been healed.

This was completely initiated by the Holy Spirit and Peter just went on the ride with Him being privileged to be the vessel through which this happened.

Let us look further at another instance of the Holy Spirit’s faith in action in Acts.19:11 & 12 which reads these words: 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.

Watch closely again that God, in reality, that is the faith of the Holy Spirit worked here not Paul to such a degree that people came to Paul bringing handkerchiefs and aprons to lay on his body and then taken to the sick where they were and everyone this happened for was instantly healed.

This happened though Paul neither laid hands nor spoke a word to any of them. In addition evil spirits in people came out as an apron or handkerchief touched their bodies without a word spoken. This is another example of the Faith of the Holy Spirit at work, that eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor entered the heart of man, what things God has prepared for us to do to demonstrate His awesome might on earth. 1 Corinthians.2:9.

This is the faith of the Holy Spirit in action and we are in a season where the Holy Spirit is going to resume doing these glorious things on His servants who make themselves ready for the moving of the Holy Spirit in unprecedented ways that defy human knowledge but show the awesome, stupendous might of the Holy Spirit at work. Joel.2

I have had tastes of this here in London, in Botswana, in Sierra Leone and in the USA in varying degrees of intensity with differing numbers of people being healed and delivered by the Holy Spirit as I watched Him in Awe at how easy it was for the Holy Spirit to heal so many people without me doing anything but watching His power in action and letting people describe what had happened to them by testifying of the healings and deliverances they received.

The Holy Spirit is inviting us to prepare ourselves for a season of His faith being released on the earth again to expand the Kingdom of Jesus. To show without a shadow of doubt that Jesus rules and reigns on the earth making clear that no one can match Him.

Allow I pray your hearts to be stirred up to trust implicitly by fully relying again on God’ s power to do what your eye has not seen, what your ear has not heard, nor your heart thought or contemplated possible being done regularly on your behalf through the Holy Spirit for men to witness and thus glorify His name as He did through the Apostle Peter and Paul in the book of Acts.

Let your heart embrace this truth and permit the grace supplied to you in these words propel you to prepare yourself to walk in this coming move of the Holy Spirit.

This my brethren is real and will shortly be in manifestation. So awaken yourselves to righteousness and get on the train leading to glory by the operation of the Holy Spirit. Let go of everything that hinders and hampers your God forward movement. Stay vigilant in the Spirit and walk discerning the Hour you are in and be ready to embrace and walk in the Power of the Holy Spirit.

Make communion time with the Holy Spirit your priority to keep hearing and knowing His voice as your greatest goal at this time by preparing the way for the Lord to come and work in and through your hearts that completely surrender to Him.

Ask the Holy Spirit for help to overcome your weaknesses. Then embrace the grace which He will supply you to overcome and win through to triumph as you become a partaker and sharer in all that the Holy Spirit will do in this season of Unusual miracles, signs and wonders to reveal to the earth the sons and daughters of God. These are the ones that will deliver the earth for the glory of Jesus. Grant this prayer, Holy Spirit I ask in Jesus name. Amen.

The precious Holy Spirit, my best friend, my Helper, my confidence, my everything this morning in my communion time with Him shared with me more on the boldness and confidence of heart I need to have continuously to walk in the fullness of all the inheritance the Father has made available to me in the now.

As I meditated on the word which I encourage you to do everyday as the Lord is the One who instructed Joshua in Joshua.1::8 to meditate on the word day and night. The importance of Joshua not letting the word depart from his mouth was pivotal, because continually putting the word on his mouth would strengthen him. This would enable him to observe to do all that is written in it, and thus make his way prosperous to find good success.

I have learnt that every human wants good success but tragically not everybody wants to meditate on the word all day long. However doing so does bring exactly what God said would happen that is good success.

As I carried on meditating Joshua.1 the Holy Spirit alerted me to Hebrews.10:19-23 which reads these life changing words which I encourage you to declare aloud over yourself : Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, 21 and having a High Priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. Let me share how you take this word and declare it over your life.

We are qualified as Jesus’s brethren today, so we have boldness. No more timidity or fear or an inferiority complex to enter the Holiest place in the Universe. Not because you have a righteous right or have attained, but through the blood of Jesus that has made atonement for your soul.

Our boldness is in the power of what the blood of Jesus has accomplished for us to empower us to boldly enter into the Presence of the Holiest in a new and living way. The access Jesus has made available for us through His dying in the flesh by shedding His precious blood on our behalf.

Our confidence must always be in what the blood of Jesus made available to us and for that reason we are as bold as a lion when approaching the Father knowing we will not be denied access because the blood of Jesus speaks the better things for us that accompany deliverance.

Now just let these words permeate your heart and soul by washing all over your being to the point where you clearly see what the Holy Spirit will start doing on your behalf. It is staggering to think of the reality of what Jesus did for us that will energize and revive your whole perspective of God. Mountain moving faith will arise when you apply the truth to your life.

When you see yourself from God’s perspective, your heart will explode with ultimate gratitude for the achievement that has occurred on your behalf through the blood of Jesus sprinkled on your benefit. Jesus alludes to this reality when in Mark.5:25-34 the woman with the issue of blood approaches Jesus on the basis of what she had heard of  Him and boldly takes her miracle without even speaking to Jesus.

However it was her continuous saying that if I touch Him I will be made whole, so when she touches the hem of His garment power goes from Him to heal her because she boldly approaches His Presence and gets healed instantly while those around Jesus are wondering what is happening. What is the fuss about someone touching Jesus everybody was.

Jesus being spiritually alert stops because her spiritual understanding gets His attention and He chooses to use her as a testimony of how we as his followers should respond to the Lord. Jesus allows her to share her spiritual experience using her faith regardless of the fact that He, Jesus, has been stopped on His way to attend to the daughter of Jairus who was on the verge of death.

It was imperative that Jesus needed to arrive before the death of Jairus’s daughter in order to save her. However this interruption adds a higher dimension of faith to what Jesus then achieves in the house of Jairus which is to raise the dead.

This is the level of boldness we need to exude in confidence as we approach the Holiest place in the Universe and receive everything Jesus has bought and paid for us to experience through His blood that speaks on our behalf better things that accompany deliverance.

My prayer for you today is that as you hear these words and receive them the grace of boldness will be imparted to you. Then boldly approach the Throne of God Most High and receive what you are needing that seems to have eluded you. Then come out triumphant as the lady with the issue of blood with a new story of what the Lord has accomplished on your behalf.

You will become a true witness of the might of the Hand of the Holy Spirit working in the now of life for you.

May you also continue to grow in this process as you develop your heart and soul to live continually in this place of boldness in the Lord where you continuously approach the Holiest place in the Universe.

Watch out to see as your life becomes an emblem of Praise. A sign and wonder in your generation who reflects as a Gem the awesomeness of the power and reality of the kingdom of Jesus for men to see and glorify His wonderful name in Jesus name. Amen.

A Word of Encouragement For Your Day.

In my morning communion time with the Holy Spirit today as I looked at Luke 8:25 which reads these words: But He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and marvelled, saying to one another, “Who can this be? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!”

The Lord asked me the question “Why are you fearful? Have you lost your faith in me? Now in this instance in this scripture a horrendous storm had arisen from nowhere which was threatening to sink the ship they were in and it was scary and very terrifying .

The weather that day had been very stable however Jesus had taught on the Kingdom of God and had in His private time with the Disciples explained in detail the parable of the sower in which He pointed out how things will arise to steal the word sown in our hearts. They were experiencing a storm arise because satan was seeking to steal the word Jesus had sown into their lives all day.

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me that there is no storm or situation in life that can suddenly spring up from nowhere. Then automatically just paralyzes me with such fear that I forget that God is with me. He said no matter what arises against me it will not prosper and I should not allow it to control my actions. I have the Kingdom’s responsibility not to allow anything to cause me to lose my faith in any battle. Isaiah.54:17.

My faith is in Jesus who has overcome all things. 1 John.5:4 & 5. So no new thing can suddenly arise that He has not already overcome. So from today and going forward never let any situation so captivate you that you act on it rather than on what Jesus has overcome on your behalf.

You will notice clearly from this scripture that the storm did not affect Jesus. He just spoke to it to become calm and it ceased being a problem to align with the peace in His heart. We must also in like manner speak to the storms and not allow them to make us retreat. Mark.11:23 & 24.

So today pick up your courage and speak to every storm that threatens you today and watch it melt like wax before you. Then get up boldly and go right ahead to fulfill God’s plan for your life today.

Be encouraged to move forward with no fear impeding your progress, for the Lord will propel you as you respond in faith to His plan for your life. Blessings.

The Holy Spirit this morning in our communion time reminded me to share with you again the importance of guarding your words. Proverbs.18:21. stresses the importance of what you choose to speak. The reality is clear because what you choose to say will determine your progress or ultimate demise.

No matter the obstacles or challenges that you face, you must refuse to allow any event or situation in life to force you to speak negatively of the Lord concerning His promise to you.

Keep hold of the word of the Lord to you and saturate yourself by speaking it out boldly and confidently in the middle of contrary situations that arise to move you out of position. Let the words of the Lord so saturate your thoughts and tongue that they become a shield of protection around you.Psalm.91:4b.

Let me say these words which I have found to be true. The Holy Spirit continually corrects us daily and guides us into further deeper truth so we can walk free. Don’t believe the lie that says the Holy Spirit only encourages us but never tells us off. Hebrews.12:5 & 6 tells us clearly that those whom the Lord loves He chastens. The Holy Spirit is a perfect gentleman and corrects us with dignity and respect but certainly does correct us so we can change to line up with the Father’s will as we conform to the image of Jesus.

In Proverbs.13:3 from the Passion translation we read these words: Guard your words and you’ll guard your life, but if you don’t control your tongue, it will ruin everything. “I have found this infallible truth that whatever the Holy Spirit says we need to do must become our priority, because all the words He speaks bring life and that more abundantly.” John.16:14 & 15.

So when the Lord says to guard your words, then ask yourself this question: if I have something precious worth much, what do I need to do to protect it from being stolen or harmed or even destroyed because it has great value? This is exactly what the Holy Spirit wants you to develop with the words that you speak because your words are more precious and more valuable than your greatest physical assets because they will determine your life outcomes.

Let us review this truth from this perspective. If you refuse to guard what you say and are frivolous with your words, then your life will be unguarded. Your outcomes in life will be at the mercy of what others say about you. It also means that any thief can break into your life space and steal all your goods because you have no protection. Meaning you will then go on to experience ruin. What a tragedy that will be especially because you have God’s promise for your life which you only have to speak.

To guard your words is a command from Jesus to us His followers because what we say determines the course we will follow. Mark.11:23 & 24.

Let us look further into this thought of guarding our words from the Lord in Malachi.3:13-15 which reads these words: “Your words have been harsh against Me, ”Says the Lord, “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against You?’14 You have said, ‘It is useless to serve God; What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, And that we have walked as mourners Before the Lord of hosts? 15 So now we call the proud blessed, For those who do wickedness are raised up; They even tempt God and go free.’ ”

We have a clear view, an undeniable fact from these words spoken by the Father, what the Lord thinks about our negative words and what harm they are to our eventual outcome. I am so grateful the Lord tells us clearly what damage our negative words cause to our progress. So we can see the harm they cause and change through repentance our perspective to only speak words that build up and bring life.

Let us unpack this truth of what the Lord is saying here: you can speak words that are harsh against the only help you have in life which is the Lord. Our negative words can adversely affect what the Lord says about you to the point where you incur harm because you are in agreement with your enemy who seeks to hurt you and now find yourself in opposition to the Lord who loves you with all His promises towards you which were intended for your good..

It gets even worse in this word from Malachi because instead of repenting for misusing your words you justify them by saying what you have said against the Lord is truth contradicting what His promises clearly define. This is what gives the enemy more fuel to raise attacks over and against you because you are in agreement with him about your situation rather than what God says about you. This is exactly what Job did in Job.38:2 when the Lord told him that his words were darkening the Lord’s counsel towards him.

This is because you take the words of the enemy and speak them rather than what the Lord says about you. This is extremely costly because it causes the Holy Spirit to be unable to help you because you choose to speak lies rather than agree with the truth by confessing it to bring about your deliverance. However If you chose to guard your words you would be in agreement with the Lord and will receive what He said about you regardless of the obstacles that rise up against you. Romans.10:10.

Your God given words spoken in faith will remove any mountain that rises up before you and level them to the ground. Mark.11:23 & 24. Therefore go right ahead to walk in the fulfilment of all the Lord has said concerning you to glorify his name. Remember it is the Lord who said in Isaiah.54:17 that no weapon formed against you shall prosper and every tongue that rises up against you in judgment, you shall condemn, for this is your heritage as a servant of the Lord.

Ask yourself this question: do I really believe that word of the Lord is true concerning you? Settle that fact in your heart then believe it, and receive it as you take that word by declaring it boldly over your life till your believing it explodes from your heart causing you to experience it in your daily life. The Holy Spirit means what He says and always says what He means so you can always be certain that it will come to pass with a wonderful miracle which will give you a greater witness of just how great God really is.

The Lord Himself said I raised Pharaoh up so that I could show my power to deliver through his stubbornness in refusing to let My people go by doing greater signs and wonders for all to see the magnificence of God’s greatness in action on the earth.

Think how great that event was that Rahab after forty years on remembers that event and helps God’s men at the cost of her relationship with the king which results in her being the only person with her family saved in Jericho. Then she goes on to gain a new inheritance in Israel which then comes into being for her life.

My prayer for you this morning is that as you hear these words you will repent for speaking loose, foolish and ignorant words against the Lord. Quickly turn through the grace afforded you through these words to guard your words as you find yourself back in the winning position based on your truth confessions of the word of the Lord to you. Then go on to experience the mighty working of the Holy Spirit in the events and situations of your life.

May the reality of the great and precious promises of God to you be your continued confession.

Let the words of the Holy Spirit be the guard to your mouth which only utter what thus saith the Lord concerning your life events as it produces signs, wonders and miracles on your behalf to change the landscape of your lives in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Some questions the Holy Spirit wants us to look at concerning our lives to settle our souls in our relationship with Jesus.

Are you willing to hear God’s voice speaking to you today? What are you willing to do to position yourself to hear Jesus speak to your heart today? John.10:4 which reads these words: To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

Are you willing to give Him time to talk to you, or are you just too busy to listen for His still small voice? The Lord wants to direct you today to something much more worthwhile in your life that will make your life outcomes more productive.

It is time to put aside your worries and just worship the Lord in the beauty of Holiness. Adore Him with your voice by telling Him how great He is. Continue to magnify the Lord. You will be astounded at how quickly the situation will shrink to become nothing which has kept popping up in your mind to distract you from the truth.

Stop worrying. Choose on purpose to trust and worship the Lord as you wait for His peace to descend on you which silences all distracting voices. It is amazing to behold how the peace of the Lord which is a fruit of the Holy Spirit stabilizes your spiritual posture.

All the exterior noise comes to an abrupt halt. As Jesus said in John.14:27 which reads these words: Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Remember Jesus always greeted people with His peace which silences the noisy voice of the enemy.

Then listen closely for His still voice that will provide you an answer of peace for today that will amaze you. Remember that the Lord is observing everything concerning you from a vantage point above every situation and can easily override anything at any moment.

Always remember that nothing is impossible with God. Luke.1:37. The question always to ask is can I believe? Well since it is up to you to choose today whether you believe and receive all the plans Jesus has for you to enjoy the experience of Him doing wonders on your behalf.

Go ahead diligently. Get in the position of worshipping the Lord in the beauty of His Holiness. Then watch to see how many awesome things will start happening in your life today in Jesus Name. Blessings to you..

Today I am taking you a step further in understanding of the revelation by the Holy Spirit of the words of Jesus spoken to us in Mark.4:11 which reads these words: And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables,

We as the lovers and followers of Jesus must place a demand on our ability to understand how the Kingdom works. Jesus came to reveal truth to us and certainly not to withhold anything necessary for our life and godliness.

In John.14:9 & 10 we read these words: Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works.

We tend to erroneously believe that Jesus wants us to be ignorant of the operations of the Kingdom but that is a fallacy.

Jesus chides Philip on having walked with Him so long yet he does not know Jesus. How about all the teachings Philip had received from being around Jesus all the time? What of all the miracles Philip had witnessed Jesus do? What of all the miracles Jesus performed in which Philip played a role in their execution?

Jesus questions what Philip has done with all he has seen and done being around Jesus. Our service for Jesus requires us knowing His ways in order to walk in His paths.

I came to the understanding fairly quickly in my relationship with the Holy Spirit that the Kingdom operation of Jesus is not in word only but in deed. So as I followed the Lord I observed that the Holy Spirit continually challenged me to do greater things for the Kingdom particularly as my understanding of the operations of the Kingdom increased. I realized that I was chosen to demonstrate the Kingdom, not just talk about it without manifesting its results with signs and wonders.

I fasted, prayed fervently and persistently and sought the Lord daily by studying the word to get further insight into how the Kingdom manifests on our behalf. The whole of Mark.4 on the parable of the sower encapsulates the workings of the kingdom.

So once we are able to understand how to sow the word in any life situation without doubting we will receive in harvest proportion the word we sowed because the Lord will never fail in doing His part to support us.

In John.20:30 & 31 we read these words: And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. The Holy Spirit said to me that anything written in the word concerning Jesus that I believe, understand and choose to follow I can experience.

This means that if I could only believe the promises of these words, put them in my heart by speaking them through meditation day and night they would become part of my daily experience. Believe me the Holy Spirit is faithful to accomplish every word spoken by Jesus and manifest the miraculous on our behalf if we follow the process.

What of the words of Jesus to us in John.14:12 which reads these words: “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. Do you believe that Jesus meant what He said here that the works He did we would do and greater works?

Mary said in John.2 that whatever Jesus says obey. Well Jesus said the works He did we will do and greater works. Have you healed the sick? Have you delivered the oppressed from the hands of the devil?

When we look at the miracles Jesus performed as His followers we should do exactly as He did in every situation where a healing or deliverance is needed. We should never shy from the challenge Jesus gave us as His followers to do. In the book of the Acts we see Jesus’s followers doing the same signs and wonders Jesus performed on a daily basis to demonstrate the Kingdom.

It is vitally important for us as followers of Jesus to understand the operations of the Kingdom to be effective witnesses of Jesus for men to see the Kingdom of Jesus manifested on earth.

How about Mark.16:15-18 which read these words: And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Where do you stand concerning these words? You need to wake up out of sleep by coming to the realization that whatever you need to do in order to align with the understanding of the Kingdom to have these miracles, signs and wonders manifest in your lives you need you to pursue diligently. Jesus does not lie. So if He said these signs will follow those who believe then we need to see these signs follow us because we believe.

It is not enough to say you believe and have no signs following. You must press into the understanding of the workings of the Kingdom as I am sharing with you to see the completion of your words sown manifesting in the natural with the corresponding miracles, signs and wonders.

Let these words from the Holy Spirit stir up a holy anger in you to lay hold of the truth of the Kingdom manifesting in your lives going forward. It is your God given right to walk in what Jesus willed for you to experience here on earth. Get busy by allowing the grace supplied in these words to work for you the miraculous of signs and wonders following you to expand the Kingdom of Jesus. Amen.

Today I am so excited to continue the revelation from my communion time with the Holy Spirit concerning us as followers of Jesus having the God given ability to understand the mystery of the Kingdom.

As I shared with you yesterday Jesus has given us the spiritual eyes to see and the spiritual ears to hear the word of the Kingdom in order to work it out in our personal lives which will result in miraculous results happening for and through us. I would recommend you look again at yesterday’s word so you will have a vantage posture to lay hold of the further revelation today.

In Mark.4:26-29 we read these words: And He said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, 27and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. 28 For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.

As we discovered the Kingdom operates by us speaking words of faith with our mouths, having hearts that believe that what we say will come to pass. Also with a refusal to allow doubt into our hearts as Jesus corrected Peter concerning his doubting in Matthew.14:31: And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

Peter initiated the operation of the Kingdom to walk on the water by saying to Jesus: If it is you, bid me come. Jesus said come and Peter walked on the water until he doubted in his heart and began to sink not drown as he was above the water not swimming. Jesus tells him to look at what made him doubt?

He had started well on the word of Jesus to come but the wind and waves had such an impact on him that he took his eyes off Jesus and began meditating on the surroundings which were windy with boisterous waves.

Jesus always wants us to complete our faith stand spoken through our words till it manifests in the natural realm which becomes our testimony which we own and no one can steal it from us. Jesus had to intervene because Peter said he was sinking so again Jesus picked him up and brought him into the boat. Peter did not swim in that event on the water.

As I pointed out yesterday faith is of absolute importance in the Kingdom because without faith it is impossible to please God. Hebrews.11:6. Jesus always addressed any person who operated by faith as one of His. Mark.5:34. Jesus always upbraided His Disciples concerning their lack of faith which amounts to a complete lack of trust in His ability. The Lord never wants us to limit His ability as the children of Israel did.Psalm.78:41.

It is impossible to enter the Lord’s rest without faith because once we come to Him we must believe that He Is and that He Is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. No one who ever approached Jesus with faith in his mouth and actions was ever rejected by Jesus. They were always fully embraced by Jesus because faith always gets the father’s attention.

How about the centurion in Matthew.8:7-13 who Jesus specifically tells His disciples to listen to because He Jesus had not found that great faith in all Israel. We should be ashamed of ourselves if we are hearing the word of faith preached to us weekly and are not operating with the corresponding faith which should be coming as we hear the word. Romans.10:17.

Once the word is sown by our words the operation of the Kingdom goes into action even though we sleep at night and rise by day it is creating the harvest just like the seed planted in the ground which then blossoms by bringing forth the blade first, then the head, then the full grain in the head indicating it is time to harvest which requires putting in the sickle.

You cannot keep doubting by changing your confession and saying I uproot my words then expect the seed of the word in the ground to keep developing.

This is why the apostle Paul wrote in Galatians.6:9 that we must not grow weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap if we don’t faint. If we faint we cannot reap. So if you keep doubting the words of faith you spoke by giving credit to the enemy thoughts which you keep expressing then those are the negative results you will receive.

Jesus in the book of Revelation tells each Church regardless of the attacks they are facing that in order to win they must overcome. We as followers of Jesus must be strong and take the high road of faith without doubting.

There are other spiritual operations of the angelic hosts working with the words of faith we speak as recorded in Psalm.103:20 which reads these words: Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.

Notice that the angels excel in strength as they heed the voice of His word which the centurion alluded to when he explained his servants obeying his words. He knew that the words Jesus spoke had such authority behind them that anything He said would be done instantly.

In addition we have the words of Hebrews.1:14 which read these words: Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation? The angels are ministering spirits sent to minister for us who will inherit salvation. Notice they minister primarily for us to accomplish the words of faith we have spoken by bringing them into our natural realm in physical manifestation.

There are more truths on the operation of the Kingdom which we need to know and walk in the light of them to see the promises of the Lord fulfilled in our lives. I will continue to share more relevant truths in my coming posts to position you with all the arsenal of truth you need to succeed in the kingdom of Jesus and manifest His glory in your lives.

May the grace flowing from these words so empower your heart and soul that you start speaking and sowing words of faith now with no doubt fully persuaded and expectant to receive the words you spoke through miracles, signs and wonders happening all around you in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him spoke about sharing light on our ability to hear Him correctly. This is because in this present season where the Holy Spirit wants to manifest the Power and glory of the Lord through our individual lives there will be much deception floating around. The intention is to draw away the followers and lovers of Jesus from truth to lies in order to sabotage the move of the Spirit.

In Mark.4:11 & 12 Jesus speaks some vital words of instruction to His chosen vessels as He explains the Parable of the sower based on their request of Him to do so. Look at what the words of this discourse are: And He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, 12so that ‘Seeing they may see and not perceive,

And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them.’ ”

Jesus was in effect saying to His closest friends that the workings of the Kingdom of God were not supposed to be a mystery to them because He had already given them the ability to know the Kingdom’s operations. Only to outsiders do things come in parables thus making it difficult for them to understand.

In real time Jesus does not share His secrets with those who are not part of the family just as we do not share our resources and how much we have with outsiders. This is to clarify the fact that Jesus is not prejudiced in any way, shape or form but does not commit His private affairs of the workings of the Kingdom to outsiders.

This reality that Jesus has given to His chosen the ability to know the mystery of the Kingdom means we should no longer walk in the dark concerning how the Kingdom principles work. We no longer have the excuse that we just can’t seem to understand how the Lord works out things in our lives.

We cannot say we don’t understand what the word means and how it will come to pass in our lives. We have the Person of the Holy Spirit to help explain and show us exactly how things come into being as we take the promises of the Lord and apply them to our individual circumstances.

Then watch the intervention of the Holy Spirit with the relevant wisdom, understanding and might with the support of the Angelic host step in to make that promise of the Lord come to pass in our lives.

It is beautiful and glorious to watch the Holy Spirit cause things which are non-existent come into existence on the spoken words of your mouth declaring what Jesus said and see mountain embedded situations be removed and replaced by words which were non-existent coming into reality. Mark.11:23 & 24.

This is the way the Kingdom operates by speaking words of faith without doubting in our hearts. Then watering those words daily with our confessions of truth still believing those words are coming to pass. Then refusing to accept any circumstances or situation which rise up against the words you have spoken by the devil seeking to divert your attention from what you had declared.

Meanwhile as we are doing our part Mark.4:26-29 is in operation which reads these words: And He said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, 27and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how.28For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.

The Kingdom is working with your words which are the seeds you sow. Once the words are sown don’t dig them up because just as a farmer would never go to dig out the seeds he plants in the ground because he knows the seeds planted know what to do in the soil to work in it to bring forth a harvest of exactly what they are.

This is vitally important, you can’t change the seed once it has been planted. Jesus explains this truth to Jairus in Mark.5:36 which reads these words: As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.”

What was Jairus to still only believe? Jesus or the words he spoke to Jesus in Mark.5: and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.”

Notice that Jairus spoke words to Jesus to the effect that if He came to his home and laid hands on his daughter she would be healed. This was Jairus sowing the word he wanted to happen for his daughter. Jesus just obeyed what Jairus asked and started heading to his home.

The delay occurred because the woman with the issue of blood drew on the kingdom based on her words which were if I only touch the hem of His garment I will be healed which happened as she touched Jesus’s garment. Jesus, aware that power had gone from Him stopped everything because he wanted her to tell how she had operated the Kingdom through her words to see healing manifest in her body as she touched His garment.

In Mark.5:33 & 34 which reads these words: But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. 34And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”

Jesus allows her to tell the whole story and commends her as a daughter of faith which means she is a seed of Abraham so she could go in peace. It is at that moment in the delay that the person comes from the house of Jairus to tell him not to trouble Jesus because the daughter was now dead.

Jesus immediately intervenes by telling Jairus not to receive fear because of death but to only believe what he had sowed with his words when he met Jesus. Jesus then proceeded to go to his house to meet further obstacles as there were a bunch of mourners making a scene at his house overcome with grief.

Jesus politely tells them she is sleeping and they change instantly and start laughing at Him to the point of scorn. What was important was that Jairus did not dig out the seed of his word that he spoke to Jesus because it was in process and no obstacles were going to change the harvest of his daughter being raised from that sickbed.

Jesus then proceeds to throw them all out because they were looking at the funeral arrangements not her going outside to play. Once they were all out Jesus told the little girl to get up which she then did as the Kingdom of God was manifested in the house of Jairus that day.

To close this post let me remind you that you should as a lover and follower of Jesus understand how the Kingdom of God works. Remember without faith it is impossible to please the Lord so you are going to have to use faith which involves speaking words which are the seeds you sow in expectation of a harvest.

May these words of the Kingdom become a reality in your life as the grace in them empowers you to speak with boldness as you ought and manifest all the Father has apportioned for you in this season of time in Jesus name. Amen.
