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.

Today will you let Jesus use what business you have to reach out to lives in the marketplace? Or are you too worried about whether you will be labelled a fanatic?

I know things did not go too well yesterday and understand why you feel quite frustrated. In my communion time with the Lord this morning the Holy Spirit prompted me to look at Luke.5:1-11 where Jesus requested to use Peter’s boat that was stationery. His intention was to teach the people about the Kingdom who had come to hear Him who were pushing to get close to Him by the shore of lake Galilee.

Now Peter and Co who were fishermen had a bad night fishing and had not caught any fish even though they had toiled all night long using their nets with bait to attract the fish. The nets needed to be cleaned and Peter was around the shoreline securing the nets, washing and checking to see if they were broken. Also checking the boat to ensure it was anchored and had no leaks.

Jesus on the other hand had a plan for that business that morning that involved all the partners of the business which was going to change their lives eternally. However, they had to agree to the plan of Jesus by allowing the Lord the permission to use what they had, which were their boats. This was necessary so Jesus could truly bless and reward them for putting their boat to be used to preach the Kingdom.

They had to give first which we generally don’t want to do but that’s the way to get God involved in your life.Genesis.8:22. Peter needed to be willing to allow Jesus to use his boat to preach the gospel of the Kingdom which he did. So Jesus proceeded to use the boat to reach out to those pressing to hear Him.

Once Jesus finished sharing, He gave instructions to Peter on what they needed to do to now catch fish. Remember they were the experts at that and now Jesus the preacher is telling them to go fishing in an arena where there was so much noise.

However Peter was discerning enough to do as Mary had advised the servants at the marriage feast in Canaan in John.2. That whatever Jesus tells you to do; just do it. This is because Jesus’ words never fail to produce great results.

Peter partially obeys by dropping down one broken net and amazingly learns something new about how to fish. That lesson of wisdom from Jesus that money cannot buy which relationship with Jesus alone brings into your life.

We need to admit that Jesus is Lord over all things and knows more about all things, including fishing because He created all things including fish and their habitat the water. Peter is convicted of his sin as the miracle catch happens and requests Jesus to depart from him because he is a sinful man.

Jesus responds by saying to Peter you are who I am looking for so follow Me and I will make you a fisher of men. Having seen the Kingdom in action in the marketplace Peter immediately leaves fishing with the other three partners in that company to follow Jesus.

They embark on a new pursuit in life following Jesus to become fishers of men. Imagine the new opportunities that were added to their lives as they would now travel around so many Cities and different scenes of life with Jesus meeting so many different people and watch Him heal, deliver and raise from the dead different people.

So today my friends, are you willing to let Jesus use your business and then give you wisdom to profit you in so many varied ways you could never have thought possible. No matter the effort you made?

It is time to rise to the challenge and experience Jesus at work in your life and business.

Have a miraculous, productive day with Jesus at the helm of your venture which you will be talking about for years to come.

Your new story will read Jesus changed my life course by setting me on the path of awesome blessings that I could never have imagined possible. Blessings.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him spoke to me that He wants to release and free all those who have been taken captive as hostages, kidnapped and robbed of destiny. Isaiah.42:21 & 22.

As I was worshiping and meditating on the word He gave me for today He pointed out to me that He wanted to release those who had been kidnapped and taken captive through various situations that occurred in the past where you were led astray by various so-called lucrative offers that seemed too good to pass on.

Unfortunately these had brought you into a place of agreement and bonding from which there seems to be no return passage out because it was satan originated.

I will now explain further the word the Holy Spirit gave me so you have a truth foundation word upon which you can stand when your deliverance is contested.

As long as we are in this world everything the Lord says or does for us can and will be contested. Therefore we need to build a fortress of defence around every deliverance the Lord gives us so that when it is challenged we do not cave into the pressure and go back into prison or bondage.

It was a great blessing that as I started out following the Holy Spirit He took me through Psalm.2 as my defence for everything He had taught me. I spent many hours meditating on Psalm.2 gaining the Spirit and life contained in it for my wellbeing when the promises of the Lord were contested in my walk with the Lord.

In Psalm.2:1-3 we read these words: Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, 3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”

The Holy Spirit went on to reveal to me that so many years before Jesus ever walked the earth in ministry this plan was set up against Him by satan which He would need to face. Then to defeat the opposition and accusation to the plan of the Lord.

This fact is reiterated by the Apostle Peter in Acts.4 where they as His disciples come under the same attack for speaking in the name of Jesus and manifesting His glory. They are threatened by the council of Jewish rulers and leaders who came together at an impromptu moment not to speak in Jesus name.

The apostles understood what was happening and flatly refused to heed the words of men as they gained a new boldness to speak by the Holy Spirit. Then went on to speak consistently in the name of Jesus thus manifesting higher levels of God’s glory which men could see.

This fresh understanding meant I knew from day one that no matter what the Lord said to me men controlled by satan would rise up and challenge it. This is because satan is the god of this world and works tirelessly against the plan of God and is willing to stir whoever has natural authority or in a position of influence to seek to stop your advancement in the Kingdom by threatening you to cease believing. Then bow to the pressure of these natural authorities to quit and come under bondage.

Through this understanding the Holy Spirit gave me the truth that meant I built a defense against all assaults satan would send my way to cause me to detour from the plan of Jesus for my life.

Jesus is able to free us in an instant at any time. However our ability to keep the deliverance we receive is what is necessary for us to cultivate and build up by maintaining our confidence and courage so we don’t slide back into bondage.

The Holy Spirit wants you to be ready to receive your freedom today but wants you prepared by being armed with fortification through the truth to never again lose what you have gained from the Lord. To become kidnapped and a hostage of satan who has been robbed of their destiny.

As I meditated on Proverbs.5:23 in the Passion translation which reads these words: Those who choose wickedness die for lack of self-control, for their foolish ways lead them astray, carrying them away as hostages—kidnapped captives robbed of destiny.

The Holy Spirit clearly pointed out to me that many had been kidnapped as captives which means you had no chance of escape because you were somehow ambushed into a place where you were caught and could not help it. For this very reason the Holy Spirit is going to release you as He did Peter in Acts.12 from the prison of Herod.

“This time however with the added support built into your heart through the word of the Holy Spirit that means you will not be taken again captive by kidnapping, because you have the word of the Lord to sustain you and empower you to resist all attempts to scare and drive you to submission.”

“You will no longer lose your deliverance but will keep it and become a beacon of light to a dying world as an emblem of praise to the name of Jesus.”

Therefore today take heed to these words by embracing the grace released through them. Then rise up and out from the prisons, dungeons and sequestered places you have been driven to and come into the glory of the covenant Jesus has prepared for you in His Kingdom which is to walk in the fullness of life.

May you today be so released that your freedom speaks so loud and clear that others see just how much the Lord has done to rescue you that they confess His Lordship and glorify His name in your lives as you demonstrate His power through signs, wonders and miracles in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit spoke today in my communion time about the issue of prayers that have been hindered, delayed and where the answers have seemed so far away it hurts.Take heart because the Holy Spirit has an answer of peace for you concerning this issue.

It is time to revisit the prayers you have been praying for many years that seem to have been hindered and delayed. I know how awful it feels when we don’t receive an answer from the Lord on an important issue. Particularly when you are desperate to know whether the answer from the Lord for the prayer is a yes or no. This is particularly heartbreaking when the prayer requests are time sensitive, meaning you need to know what to do. However there seems to be no response from the Lord that gives you any hope or indication of time? 

Well in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He ministered to me from Luke.1:5-20 concerning the life of Zechariah and Elizabeth who had lived blamelessly before God yet had no child. Elizabeth the righteous lady was barren. Imagine the God lover and doer.The covenant daughter is barren and fruitless even though the promise of the Lord is to be fruitful and multiply in Genesis.1:22. 

How do you think this situation of being childless affected Elizabeth? What of all the rumors going around saying their righteousness was not authentic and there was some secret sin in their lives? We are to be empathetic as we look through scripture and understand that we are not the first to ever to face disappointments in our prayer life in a season which would then turn into a situation of glory beyond our imagination.

Well when the Angel Gabriel announces to Zechariah in Luke.1:13-18 that the prayer of many years before had been answered he found it very difficult to believe because so many years had gone by and now they were old. This is where the Holy Spirit wants us to walk in the place where no matter the delay or the hindrance we are still expecting that the Lord will fulfill His promise by bringing it into manifestation. This is because with the Lord nothing is impossible.

The Lord wanted His faithful servants to be a part of His Manuscript of Glory and Beauty by giving them a son to forerun Jesus. What an honor!

The delayed answer to that prayer was the position John had which no one else can ever have as the forerunner of Jesus and the only child born full of the Holy Spirit with a grand impactful life. The reward could only be given to faithful ones the Lord could trust to nurture and raise such a prophet who would walk as the Lord required. 

How about Daniel’s prayer in Daniel.10:12-15 which reads these words: Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. If we look at what happened here Daniel’s prayer was answered the moment he started praying in heaven and his answer was hindered by the prince of Persia for 21days with Daniel left in the position not knowing what the Lord wanted him to do because he received no answer.

However Daniel kept in prayer and fasting throughout the 21days awaiting his answer which came on the 21st day. What we see here is that Daniel knew his covenant with the Lord and understood that the Lord would never withhold an answer to prayer from His servant so he waited in a position of readiness to receive his answer. This is the posture the Holy Spirit wants us to adopt because the Lord will never break His covenant of answering our prayers?

The prayer may be hindered from manifesting but not lost and if we can repent for leaving our prayer post we can recover the answer because it was only hindered not denied. There is a massive difference between the two. If you remove the hindrance you can have the answer. However if the answer was no you can’t experience what the Lord has denied you with a no.

The Holy Spirit made it perfectly clear that he wants to help us remove all the hindrances and delays to our prayers based on many different factors including unforgiveness, strife, pride, unwillingness to wait patiently on the Lord to understand the plan the Lord has for our lives to demonstrate a greater dimension of His glory.

Finally the Lord wants you to know that the answer to those prayers you are awaiting has a much further reaching impact than you know or can understand at this point in time and you are going to have to trust His process for you which will be rewarded with another wave of His glory manifesting in your life which will result in a greater expansion of the Kingdom of Jesus. 

Just remain reassured that the Lord has marked you out for an enormous story which He will tell in your life that will eclipse the long wait and give you a testimony that will speak about you eternally that will impact many for Jesus.

The reward will be that you are always remembered as being connected with God’s awesome power as an Ensign, “a banner and beacon of light that stands as a sign” in the work of the Lord that accomplishes marvels.

So be encouraged today as this silence of a positive answer to these prayers will turn out for your better, because the Lord has you covered under the shadow of His Almighty Wings in Jesus name.  Amen.

This morning again the Holy Spirit in my communion time has remained on expanding my understanding on the theme of my inheritance in the Lord and reinforced understanding its importance to me successfully walking the path ordained for this season.

I have come to understand from past experiences with the Holy Spirit concerning various other important issues which He has taught me. The importance of being saturated with truth to the point of overflowing with it. This means one will be sharing it from an overflowing position.

Thus the outpouring of the word shared will be the Holy Spirit who brings life to the hearer with the corresponding grace to do in like manner if they believe and receive it.

In Colossians.1:5 we read this wonderful truth from the Apostle Paul to these faithful disciples in Colossae from the passion translation: Your faith and love rise within you as you access all the treasures of your inheritance stored up in the heavenly realm. For the revelation of the true gospel is as real today as the day you first heard of our glorious hope, now that you have believed in the truth of the gospel.

The Apostle Paul talks about their faith and love rising within them which points to the fact that it has gone beyond surface level truth and it is the truth following from within their hearts as the morning Star Jesus becomes the dominant force within their hearts. 2 Peter.1:19-21.

Faith and love rising within the heart points to the experiential reality of that promise because it is delivered with the love of God shared abroad in the heart by the Holy Spirit.

The truth is that as this occurs in our hearts we are granted access to all the treasures of our inheritance stored up for us in the heavenly realm.

This heart reality is not a singular treasure as in a single expensive diamond or sapphire ring but very expensive diamonds and sapphires plural which are already ready and available in store ready for dispatch to the rightful owners who have been granted access to partake of those treasures.

Not everybody is granted that access but it is given to those who have taken Jesus at His word and followed Him by laying down their lives to serve Him, They meditate on His words by continuously confessing only what thus saith the Holy Spirit hence they walk in that light is through the access granted them.

If you have studied the life of the Apostles which I encourage you to do to watch their relationship with Jesus you will notice that He dealt with each of them on their current walk of faith including their commitment to Him.

Though Jesus had twelve Apostles not all twelve were with Him on the mountain of transfiguration to experience that unusual happening but Peter, James and John who had access to that conversation between the Father, Jesus, Moses and Elijah.

Jesus also granted these three disciples access to watch His prayer time in the garden of Gethsemane before His death on the cross for our sins in Mark.14:33.

It is not that Jesus favors one more than the other but what each does with the truth will determine how much Jesus will commit to you and trust you to steward on His behalf.

The Holy Spirit in a season of my walk with Him had me spend much time studying the introduction to all the letters the Apostles wrote to see if I was qualified to experience the truths written there rather than just claim them arbitrarily because they are in the bible .

It is in that season that I recognized what qualified me to partake of those truths and where I needed to step up by taking further action to qualify for more of the manifestation of truths.

The Lord does not just commit His treasure to those who leak out truth to the enemy by failing to honor Him.

“The Lord judges the intent and purposes of each heart and gives according to our heart’s decisions.”

I am sharing these truths with you based on the direction of the Holy Spirit so you also can correctly assess what you still need through judging your present walk with the Lord. You are being offered the necessary tools to make all the necessary corrections to get back in the place of close relationship with the Lord.

“Correction is of utmost importance for our spiritual development in the Kingdom of Jesus and we should all develop a desire to be corrected daily because without correction we will fail miserably. This is because we humans often make mistakes even in our hearing what the Lord says. So we are able to carry out His orders as He gives them.”

We far too often act on our presumption of what we think God is saying rather than take time to confirm exactly what the Holy Spirit is saying. It is always better to wait and confirm the direction of the Holy Spirit. It is not wise to just run ahead presuming you know exactly what the Holy Spirit directed and end up in a ditch wondering why the Lord failed you.

My prayer for you today is that as you hear these words. Accept and receive the correction pertinent to your situation. So you will find the grace supplied in them to lead you purposefully to take the next right step. By moving you forward into a position where you come into the place where you are able to access the treasures of your inheritance in the Lord. Your end result being that you begin to walk in that reality Jesus bought and paid for you to walk in to glorify His wonderful name.

As you surrender your heart and mind completely the Holy Spirit will help you navigate correctly and give you every grace you need to be able to do for the pleasure of the Lord in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him spoke to me about walking in the immense wealth of the treasures of our inheritance in Jesus which must become my primary focus. This requires persistent meditation and focus on the details of how to access these treasures to enable them to manifest in my daily life.

I love it when the Holy Spirit speaks to me about my inheritance because it is not a wage based on work I have done. However it is a gift from God to me because I happen to be one of His sons who He loves to endow with every good thing He has. Just as a parent provides everything their children need for life.

The Lord who created us provides more good gifts for us than any human with deceitful hearts. So the inheritance from Him is far greater. Romans.4:3 & 4.

Let me just remind us of Jesus’s position as the legal owner of all things in heaven and on earth for which He possesses all authority in both realms. Hebrews.1:2. That is the winning position and the Holy Spirit can give us from the resources Jesus possesses which are unlimited.

Jesus spoke these glorious words in Luke.12:32: “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Everything in the Kingdom, that is every resource available for life and godliness is what gives God pleasure to give to us His children.

I can assure you that the Holy Spirit is not the withholder of every good thing but the giver of every good thing the Father has prepared for us. He helps us lay hold of our inheritance in the now season of life.

This is because the Father knows we need the Spirit of Might to live effectively and triumphantly on earth because He wants us to partake of what He has prepared which is made available for us to eat from. Isaiah.11:2.

Just think of the apostle Peter’s words to the crippled man at the beautiful gate in Acts.3:6: such as I have, I give to you in the name of Jesus rise up and walk.

You will notice that Peter does not offer him what he is hoping or believing for in the future but what he possesses in right now. Peter does not pray that in the future God will heal you. No, Peter makes it clear I know my inheritance and you can partake of it now because it has been given to me.

Peter had absolute confidence in his inheritance from Jesus and again in Acts.9:34 says these words: And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.” Then he arose immediately.

Notice again that Peter gives from his inheritance in the Lord. Jesus heals you so get up and make your bed. Not I hope something good will happen for you Aeneas later, but rather receive healing now and get up. I know what inheritance I have in Jesus so just receive it.

This is the place the Holy Spirit wants us to walk in these days to glorify the Lord Jesus. This is why the Holy Spirit keeps speaking about embracing more and more of the reality of how much more treasure is available in our inheritance in Jesus and us knowing how to walk in it as Peter did.

No wonder Peter says these words to us in his first letter 1 Peter.1:4 & 5: to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

We have been endowed with an inheritance that cannot be corrupted and is undefiled. So it is impossible for that inheritance to fade away.

We need to know this reality and walk in the truth of that fact. With no doubts and concerns that it might fail because as Peter says it will not fade away and is reserved for our use.

I recall the evening in Freetown Sierra Leone while I was preparing for a meeting and there was a knock on the door. It was a group of deaf young adults from the deaf and dumb college who were sent to the Campus to come and beg money from the lecturer’s homes. This fellow had a letter making the request which he handed me. So I invited him in and proceeded to pray for him.

He immediately fell under the power of God, completely knocked out. As he came to reality he could hear after the touch of the Holy Spirit having been on the floor for 30 mins. He could then immediately start talking as he could now hear clearly as he rose up from the floor and left the home rejoicing as we spoke. He was no longer worried about receiving any money because the reason for wanting money had been solved .

He had received his life back through his ability to hear and his speech recovery which was far greater than the little money I could have given him for his impediment. It was a glorious moment for me because it was the first time a deaf and dumb person was healed through my ministry.

The miracle was such a blessing because he forgot what he had come for which was money because the Holy Spirit had stepped in meaning his life had now changed. So he would now be able to work and become productive in society.

We had a glorious meeting that night with the Holy Spirit healing many more people as they heard the story of the miraculous healing of the deaf fellow. There were many life commitments to serve the Lord more fervently as they saw the powerful work of the Holy Spirit in demonstration.

The Holy Spirit still has much more to share with us on the treasures of our inheritance in Christ and how we can access them to manifest them in our lives. I pray today that as you hear these words, grace will be imparted which will stir you to action to seek the Lord wholeheartedly to work with the Holy Spirit to see more of your inheritance in the Lord manifest on a daily basis.

Remember you are only requesting what the Father has already promised and apportioned to you if you will follow the leading of the Holy Spirit rather than man and traditions. Choose to deny yourself and allow the Holy Spirit to have your heart, soul and body. Then live for Jesus alone as you watch how your inheritance in the Lord will speak for you in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning reminded me in our communion time that today is a new day. For that reason we need to rejoice and be glad in it because there are things He the Holy Spirit has in store for us that will energize us by propelling us into the wonderful good works Jesus has prepared for us to carry out today to glorify His name on the earth. Ephesians.2:10

I for my part am therefore excited and thrilled at the prospect of what miracles the Holy Spirit wants to perform on those afflicted by satan to give them a new story of deliverance that will startle men as they observe the mighty power of the Lord in action. As Peter introduces Jesus to people in the house of Cornelius in Acts.10:36-38: How Jesus went about doing good healing all who were oppressed of the devil for God was with Him.

Hebrews.13:8 says these life giving words: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. This means that when you introduce Jesus to people you should be able to say the same words Peter said because Jesus has not stopped healing all those oppressed of the devil. This is because His hand has not been shortened or paralyzed to such a degree that He cannot now heal people from the oppressions of the devil.

The reality is that Jesus is still the same which indicates He does wonders today just as He did in the days of Peter. We need to remember these facts, believe them, then walk in them. Then choose to represent Jesus correctly through the Holy Spirit by manifesting the same power He demonstrated in the healing of lives.

In the Anglican church where I started out my Christian walk. Unfortunately they did not represent Jesus correctly because they said Jesus had handed over the healing ministry to doctors. Fortunately I had begun my walk believing the Bible so I questioned this with the Pastors each week as they preached this. Then showed them through scriptures that Luke was a doctor so how did the Lord hand over healing to doctors.

Luke recorded all the healings Paul did in the book of Acts though he was the doctor with the ability to diagnose sickness in people. He never came to that erroneous conclusion though he was a trained Doctor. He honoured God because he knew the miracles he saw Jesus perform through the hands of Paul were real.

The good thing is that they never discouraged me from pursuing my faith in the Lord which included healing and deliverance which the Holy Spirit was teaching me each day.

Now the Holy Spirit is a Master at confirming the truth in the place where people question the ability of Jesus. I got to meet in that very church a Man’s daughter whose eyes were miraculously healed by Smith Wigglesworth laying hands on her in his home which further confirmed to me the reality of what the Holy Spirit was teaching me to believe for.

When I met the lady, his daughter who had perfect 20/20 eyesight at the present time, she said to me boldly that she could not attend the Anglican church of her parents because she knew she was healed by Jesus. So she could not sit down and listen to those who question the healing she had experienced by cutting it down.

This reminds me of the blind man healed in John’s gospel chapter.9 who the Chief Priests threw out because he would not agree with them that Jesus was a sinner. After having been healed by Jesus and having received sight for the first time in his life. He was excited about what Jesus had done to free him. No individual could convince him he was not healed. He could now see and no one could deny that reality.

I also had to leave the Anglican Church because I was growing and manifesting more of the Holy Spirit which included healings, the miraculous signs and wonders but could not express them. Their bias did not deter the Holy Spirit because He just went on to manifest through my life the healing power of Jesus in the Nations to release people from the oppression of the devil which Jesus is Master over.

You ask me why do I share these experiences? To make you certain of the reality of the Jesus you serve because He is real. Jesus still remains the same and will never change what He does which is to heal all oppressed of the devil.

I remember when I was in Chicago on Sunday morning I had woken up early, filled the home I was staying with intense prayer and worship awaiting what the Holy Spirit would do that day. That same morning in the Church service I had attended, who happened to be a friend of the Pastor who had invited me to minister in the USA who wanted me to stay longer so I could minister healing and deliverance to more people in the USA.

During the service I observed the former Pastor who was in a wheelchair and I asked the present pastor if I could pray for Him because I was angry that a servant of God was paralyzed.

When I started praying for the pastor’s healing the new pastor confessed to me and his congregation that he had doubted while I prayed that the pastor would be healed. He then took the opportunity to repent to his congregation in his message by telling his people that Jesus had visited that church that day.

Unfortunately they had rejected Him just like the Pharisees did as he openly repented being broken in heart and then asked me to pray for all the sick in the Church that morning.

We went on to have a healing service with various healings all around and it was a beautiful sight to behold as people went from doubt and unbelief to receiving healing which became the new ethos of that Church. Healing and deliverance with the joy of the Lord.

They even gave me an honorable offering though I was not the guest speaker but an attendee. In the end I became a friend to that Pastor who sought me for spiritual counsel.

I pray for you today that as you hear these words concerning Jesus still being the same your trust in Jesus as the Healer will be stirred back up into reality. You will surely find the grace in these words to activate you back in your pursuit to represent Jesus again in truth by demonstrating Him as He is: the Healer of all oppressed of the devil.

May your hearts burn with renewed passion and zeal to take hold of your inheritance in Jesus as you become a true representation of Jesus through signs, wonders and miracles which He ordained for you to walk in to glorify His name.

Then watch out because you will see what marvels begin to happen in your life as you receive and accept the words of Jesus to you. As you run after Him by surrendering to His program rather than man’s religion that limits and binds you to bondage. Observe as you become the vessel of honour through whom the Holy Spirit can show the majesty of Jesus in the lives of others. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants you to put this word from the Lord as the priority for your life today. Proverbs.30:5 from the Passion Translation reads these words: Every promise from the faithful God is pure and proves to be true. The Lord is a wraparound shield of protection for all His lovers who run to hide in Him. Will you today run to meet this challenge from Proverbs:30.5 or remain on the fence?

Are you willing to take the Lord at His word by allowing the Holy Spirit to guide you to which relevant promise of the faithful God applies to your life and situation today in order for you to be wrapped around in the shield of God’s protection for your life?

Let us look closely at the Person of Jesus who makes this promise to see if it will actually happen as He spoke it. Is He capable of fulfilling what He said?

In John.2:5 Mary makes this statement concerning Jesus to those serving at the wedding: His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” Such confidence in the word Jesus speaks that she says any word which comes from His mouth just obey without question which they did and the results were startling.

How about the words of the disciples of Jesus in John.16:30: Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.” We are confident you know all things which no one can question.

What of the testimony of the Centurion in Luke.7:7: Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. The centurion was so confident in what Jesus said coming to pass that he said only say a word and it will happen. What confidence in the ability of Jesus just speaking and it happens.

It is our turn now to put our confidence in Jesus to work for us.

This is why we can take absolute confidence that the Lord will be a wraparound shield for us as we run to Him.

Well the Lord wants to do the same for you today if you allow the Holy Spirit to guide you to the specific promise that deals with your situation today, in order that you can receive His power working out on your behalf today.

This will cause you to ride triumphantly over everything surrounding and threatening you through the resurrection power of Jesus our Lord which is available to raise us up from any death situation.

Today is the day for you to experience God’s Hand working for you. So step in boldly like the centurion and take Him at His word. Jesus does not break Covenant Psalms.89:34 nor does He alter the word from His mouth.Psalms.89:34. The Lord is faithful who promises who also will do it.

Now what a glorious recipe for triumph in your life today. So take the step by allowing the grace supplied through these words to propel you to action which will result in this word manifesting in your life now in Jesus name. Amen.
