Today I share with you Part One of the revelation the Holy Spirit spoke to me concerning why we as humans always turn to humans as our first line of help when we have the Lord as a very present help in times of trouble. Psalm.46:1. Open your hearts to embrace these truths and receive the grace to make the Holy Spirit the first line of defence concerning your life and watch to see how things will change in your circumstances to be living in the place where you always have triumph in any circumstance through the miraculous hand of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit says why are you looking to men as your support and help when you have Him as your more than enough help in every situation. To rely on man is a curse and to trust the arm of flesh is like relying on the wind that would blow you away. Jeremiah.17:5-8 The Holy Spirit is your help in times of trouble and times of success and you need to remember what your strength and strong tower of refuge is.

The Lord will give you men to support you and be an encouragement to carry out the work you are called to do but they are not your support and refuge and must never become your place of succor and help in times of need . The Holy Spirit must become your closest and most trusted friend and support in life and your go to place for relief and answers and this will be tested in your life.

The Lord alone wants to be the One to whom you look to for refuge and support and not men. The Holy Spirit today reminded me of David when he was on a mission in 1 Samuel.30:6 Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

Now David came home to an invasion of all they had in Ziklag and all they had was gone and in this encounter all the men who were a support and help to David thought of killing him and he remembered that his trust was not in the men he had but the Lord who had called him and went on to encourage himself in the Lord his God and then found the way out of that dilemma as he inquired of the Lord and got the plan to recover back all that was robbed from them and much spoil in addition.

It is not that God did not want David to have the support of those men who God sent to help him ,but the Lord wanted David not to rely on the men but on the God who had called him to be the King and depend on Him and not the support of the men. There is a very fine line between trusting what God gives us to help us win our battles versus us trusting God Himself to be our go to in times of need.

Most often because we see men around us who are willing vessels of support and help we feel confident we have the necessary help ready and available to pull us up. However because we don’t see the Lord physically present and have to reach out by faith to seek Him in order to get an answer through prayer, which appears from the natural more difficult. That is exactly what is necessary if we are to remain on top of things pertaining to our lives. Psalms.20:7.

I told my closest friend in a season of great physical attack by much enemy barrage that seeking God to find out about a healing to understand what the situation she was facing was far better than consulting a doctor for a diagnosis because the doctor on his finest day even if a Christian doctor can be moved by the enemy. He is susceptible to making mistakes in the process, however the Lord would give you an answer of peace.

Fortunately the friend heeded that counsel and did not consult a doctor, but trusted the Lord and she is very much alive and very well because the Lord brought her out of what no human doctor could have by giving her the solution necessary for her deliverance which she now owns as a story of healing and deliverance of the ability and miraculous power of the Holy Spirit who delivers from all death.

So what I am sharing with you today by the Holy Spirit is the true advantage we have in the Lord as our go to help in times of need which the Lord wants to be our primary source of help.

You will notice from scripture that even Jesus Himself regardless of the wonderful faithful disciples He chose by the Holy Spirit all left Him at His most vulnerable time during His passion on the cross. However Jesus still said to them prior that my Father is always with me and will see me through. Matthew.26:31.

The Holy Spirit yearns for you this morning to fill your thoughts with His words until they penetrate deep into your Spirit and become the direction and leader of your life rather than your thoughts which have curbed you from being what God created and intended for you to be. You are no longer limited to the natural realm which has stopped you from progressing in the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that sets you free from the law of sin and death. James.4:5. Romans.8:2.

You must realize that you are who the Lord says you are not what your parents, pastor, teachers or mentors or family say you are. You need to saturate your thoughts by confessing what the Lord says you are until you believe what God says you are as it starts flowing from your heart that is now saturated with that truth as a reality.

An example of that for you in the Bible is: 2 Corinthians.5:17-19 which reads these words. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

Your confession of that word would sound like this I am in Christ ( the anointed One And His anointing that is His burden removing, yoke destroying, world overcoming, always triumphing, barrier breaking, earth shaking power) therefore I am a new creation, old things have passed away, that is my faults, my mistakes, my old family heritage and what I once was are gone buried forever never to be resurrected again. Everything about me is brand new from the standpoint of Jesus who has given me a brand new heritage which is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that has freed me from the law of sin and death.

I am no longer tainted by past failures or mistakes but I am brand new, loaded with who Jesus is. That is the heritage of blessing from the Lord that makes us rich and not the curse. I choose only to live from that new place of life in the anointing having been divorced eternally from the old status.

All things in my life are of God’s making where there is no failure in God, no defeat in God. The only thing present in my life is triumph in every situation which is who I am in Christ. For this reason I refuse to believe anything other than what God says I am.

Now as that truth takes hold of your will as you continue speaking it to and over yourself, your emotions, your intellect and mind will cause your actions to line up with that posture in the Spirit and you will walk as that new person because that is all you know and respond to as real concerning you. All other thoughts are lies and deception which you do not permit in your life. This should become your daily confession all the time to override the constant negative vibes and thoughts that keep being projected at you from the spirit of the world. This example is just a single example of a promise you should activate in your daily life which you should imbibe as a pattern with all the promises of God concerning you. Romans.10:10.

I am sure you realize that positive thoughts never just fly out into your heart and flood your mind except you purposely say them. However the negative thoughts just seem to flow naturally and only stop when you speak contrary to them. They are persistent and still attempt to dominate your minds to change your confession back to the old thought pattern.

For you to walk as the new creation you have to declare it emphatically and consistently at all times to combat the negative thoughts which just keep coming. This is the reason why the Holy Spirit is pointing out the importance of us filling our thoughts with what He says about us and not the lies being spewed to us by people or negative thoughts. The enemy uses this barrage of negativity to keep us in condemnation rather than our confidence in God which has a great recompense of reward in the now. Romans.8:1 and 2 Corinthians.10:4-6.

If your heart condemns you, you do not have confidence in God which is what John says in 1 John.3:20-22 and you can end up delaying or detouring your miraculous results because you are uncertain in heart and are unable to commit fully in union with the Holy Spirit to lay hold of the blessing in the now of life. James.1:6-8.

Always remember with the Lord that today is always the day of salvation. This means that every new day we can always make a change if we hear the voice of God today and respond to it in obedience which gives us a brand new start.

I encourage you today to make the quality decision to saturate your thoughts with God’s words to and about you until they take over you and start running your life and circumstances while the negative thoughts wither into oblivion before you as the grace through these words empower you to act out the God mindset the Holy Spirit yearns for you to walk in.

Your result will be that the name of Jesus is magnified through your lives as He gets all the glory for the wonderful change you will now experience in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit says today that through the miracles you are about to experience in your life will be the necessary spiritual knowledge of the workings of the Lord that will be made clear to you. You will then understand the processing in the Spirit by having a working platform from which you can share all the things you have learnt through personal experience concerning the ways the Lord has revealed and made clear to you are the paths of eternal life from which others can then partake of. They will through your experience find the life which you have discovered by the Holy Spirit. 

The miracles which happen for you will represent the turnarounds of these difficult situations that have baffled you over time. You will be made aware of the supernatural operations of the Holy Spirit in paralyzing the works of the enemy which were set to destroy and muddy your path of life.

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me from Psalm.92:5 & 6 in the Passion translation which reads what mighty miracles and your power at work—just to name a few! Depths of purpose and layers of meaning saturate everything you do. 6 Such amazing mysteries are found within every miracle that nearly everyone seems to miss.Those with no discernment can never really discover the deep and glorious secrets hidden in your ways.

The Holy Spirit wants you to begin to understand the depths of purpose that are stored up in what the Lord does to make His plans known through the things He does on your behalf. This is in order that you will fully understand the way He works things out and see His way of processing things that are difficult and impossible to comprehend. 1Corinthians:2:12.

The Lord wants you to be walking on a higher level of wisdom and divine insight which enables you to visualize things from God’s vantage point that changes darkness to light and raises from death to life. Romans.4:17. You are being groomed by the Lord to walk in higher realms of glory whereby it is not only about experiencing the miracle but understanding the process behind the working of the miracle God has done. The Lord wants to work with you to think through, and be a part in what actually happens through the manifestation of the desired miraculous outcome the Lord is bringing to fruition on your behalf.

Moses we are told knew the ways of God which enabled him  to experience them at any time while the Israelites only experienced His acts but still remained stubborn and unchanged. Their hard heartedness remained because they had no understanding of what the Lord intended for them so they were unable to walk with Him as He sought to lead them. 

Well this is your time to walk in the knowledge of how God does things. It is vitally important how you respond to the Lord in this time because it will determine how much more you will go on to experience the working of God’s hand through you and in you.

The layers of meaning that will be revealed to you will saturate all you do going forward and will make your walk much smoother and clearer because you will be walking under the shadow of the Almighty surrounded by His glory. His Preeminence will be visible in all things that pertain to your life and Godliness. 1 Corinthians.2:13-16.

As you take hold of these truths as grace is imparted to you by the Holy Spirit you will walk in a new place of security that overshadows the problems of the last seasons. You will be able to read and navigate through these distractions without the anger and bitterness they used to arouse and awaken in you that cost you time, resources and energy which was wasted and produced you no fruit.

This new realm of understanding will enable you to scale through obstacles with the ease of the Lord because His way is easy and His burden is light. So you will be walking in this understanding as this greater grace empowers you to do from now on. It will be as if you are walking above the din of circumstances in the realm of glory where Jesus dwells and where there is no fear.  

The Holy Spirit says today how much time are you spending focussing and observing what the Lord  is saying concerning moving forward versus walking in what you believe you know about the voice of God? Habakkuk.2:1.

It is very easy to fall into a routine of just doing for God because that is what you have been trained to do rather than submitting by yielding to the Holy Spirit to do what He is leading and guiding you to do. In Joshua.1:1-7 the Lord points out to Joshua all the promises of what will happen for Joshua as he takes up the mantle to lead the people into the promised land after the death of Moses.

The promises are broad in scope and very impressive, but in verse 8 the Lord points out to Joshua a clear condition on which all the promises will rest which Joshua will need to follow. Joshua must abide by these instructions if he is to experience and enjoy all the blessings the Lord pointed out in verses 1-7 of Joshua.

Well today the Holy Spirit wants to show you what your priorities ought to be by showing how much attention you will need to put to the things that matter most to your Kingdom progress rather than the things you believe you need to be doing. Let’s look at Joshua.1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Now the first commandment here is that the book of the law which in our lives today is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus which makes us free from the law of sin and death. This law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus not departing from our mouths, and not just our thoughts but our mouths meditating over it daily, will be compulsory for us to attain what the Lord has promised.

The question remains as to how much of what Jesus is saying is echoing out of our mouths in our daily lives about who we are in Him day and night. We need to say continually as the redeemed of the Lord that we have been redeemed. Psalm.107:2.

Secondly, following our saying which is a part of our meditating anyway which we should be doing day and night because our saying with our mouths is our confession which brings our deliverance or salvation. It does not matter how much you believe if you do not verbalize that belief with a confession you will remain bound.Romans.10:10  For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation..

This confession with our mouths empowers us to observe what the Lord is saying to us through the Holy Spirit in order for us to carry out His instructions. It is after this process that our way will become prosperous and we will begin to find good success in life. You will observe the path in the Spirit to take  which is never the obvious one from the natural perspective.

We cannot jump the process expecting that good success will be our reward. Joshua himself many years before this time was a faith working man and when sent on the mission to spy out the land said boldly let us go up at once and take it. He had faith that sought to take but lacked the voice of the Lord’s leading which would end up in a ditch because the Lord never guided it so it would not be provided. 

If this many years on God is still commanding Joshua to meditate till he observes to do, what was he going to do those years before to take the land having not taken any time to meditate on the word to know what the Lord was saying. We need to be wise. Not foolish in acting out in presumption on what we think God wants rather than waiting till He tells us what He wants done.

As Moses always said I am not moving till the Lord moves then I will follow Him and we will have triumphant results. 

I believe the Holy Spirit wants you positioned in a place where you will have good success because you focus on Him to get His direction and guidance in moving forward. As it says of  King David and David inquired of the Lord what to do and each time the Lord showed him what to do he always had good success. No wonder he said do not take thy Holy Spirit from me. Psalm.51:11.

May you find grace today in the Holy Spirit to give more time to meditate on the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus as you observe from the Lord’s perspective what you ought to do. Then once you observe His way go forth in the direction of the Holy Spirit rather than your opinion of the situation. Remember God’s thoughts and ways are much higher than yours and you need to yield to His in order to move forward. Isaiah.55:8 & 9.

May grace be imparted to you today to hold back from premature action by meditating to observe the moving of the Holy Spirit as you find the path He is leading. Then walk into the triumphant, victorious ventures which will serve as a platform of God results in your life in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him said we are in the preliminary stages of the seeing and knowing realm of the Holy Spirit’s revelation of what the Father of glory wants us to know and walk in at present. Although the things we are receiving at present are mighty and beyond what we have ever experienced before.

We need to humble ourselves and realize that there is far more spiritual knowledge than what we are receiving presently. We need to watch and guard our hearts against pride in what we now have by pressing into what is to come because that is far greater.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that a man’s heart is tested when he is given a measure of influence or notoriety and what he then goes on to do will determine the progress he will make. God tested the heart of Abraham. Genesis.22:1-19. 

This is not the time to bask in what level of revelation we are walking in great as it is, but in seeking out more how to steward and walk in what the Lord wants to reveal and make known to His lovers walk.This new dimension in the Spirit will unfold the fullness of His glory at this Auspicious time in the kingdom of God’s glory being made real on the earth for men to see and behold together.

In this season both sinner and saint/ believer and disciple will see the glory of the Lord revealed each according to their way and pattern of life which will be rewarded commensurate with what they have done. 

The universal law of the Lord of seedtime and harvest will not cease as long as the earth remains and, will be made real and now harvest time for years of sowing will be brought into manifestation for both the righteous and evil doer, so it is incumbent on us His lovers to keep in humility and close union with the Holy Spirit to ensure we are not robbed of our inheritance that we have labored for over many years. Genesis.8:22.

This is no time to grow weary in well doing but to press more into sowing into righteousness so that the harvests will be overlapping, overflowing and overtaking our lives with the radiance of God’s glory as we walk in the full knowledge,  insight and understanding of what is happening spiritually with the ability to interpret the times and seasons accurately by the Spirit of the Lord. We can then be called upon to say what the Lord is speaking over nations through determining the state of affairs according to His will which is totally different from the desires of men which bring death and destruction. Galatians.6:9 & 10.

Beloved it is time for you to hunker in more diligently into the deeper knowledge of the Holy Spirit by keeping a close keen ear for where the Holy Spirit is leading and guiding us to be. We must of necessity be willing to move in the now word of the Holy Spirit just as Philip was moved in the book of Acts.8:26-40 from an outpouring of the Spirit in Samaria. A mass movement of the Spirit that took place in the city to a desert area. 

This was done to introduce the Kingdom to an Ethiopian eunuch who would carry the kingdom message into Africa, after which Philip was transported in the Spirit to another region of Azotus to manifest the reality of the Kingdom to the people there.

This level of yieldedness is what the Lord is seeking for us to be willing to walk in as we press in for more glory. We are not called to rest in what happened in the past season by basking in the past successes. However we are to move into the coming glory by being fully ready to flow with the Holy Spirit’ agenda to manifest the Kingdom of Jesus in all its glory for men to see. Philippians.3:12-14.

I pray that as you hear these words the Spirit of contrition will overtake your desire by moving you to respond with a ready Yes Lord. I am willing to follow your path by moving in unison with the Holy Spirit to manifest the full cycle of harvest for the Kingdom. I will be a willing participant by partaking fully of the divine nature of the Lord in this move of God as I embrace the mountain life that has come to stay. Heaven’s manifestation on earth being lived out. Walking in a place where we know God’s ways and walk in His paths continually.

I beseech you to rise up by ascending into this place the Lord has prepared for you as you throw off any weight or incumbrance that has hindered you moving forward. Then boldly move in the new grace being supplied for this work by the Holy Spirit to be manifested in Jesus’ name. Amen.

This beautiful morning the Holy Spirit flooded my heart afresh with the reality of this word from Hebrews.10:35 & 36 which reads these words: Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:.

We as disciples of Jesus have confidence in His ability to do for us exceedingly, abundantly and above all we could ask or think. Ephesians.3:20. Firstly the Holy Spirit reminded me that our confidence is not in anything we can do, or bring about but in the Person Jesus who has done everything necessary for us to have, enjoy and experience life and life in its fullest measure. John.10:10.

Our confidence is in His ability to perform all that He has said and spoken of the inheritance He has left for us to partake of. Jesus alone could make the claims He made about Himself because He could bring to pass every word He spoke without fail. John.6:35.

Jesus claimed He was the resurrection and the life and then went on to prove it by going to the tomb of Lazarus. Jesus spoke to that man who had already been buried by commanding him to come out of the grave which he obeyed by coming out on his own (remember he was put in the tomb by men) as men stood there. They beheld what no one had ever seen before a man in the grave came out from there and came back to live in society which Lazarus did and men came to see him just to confirm the reality it was really him. John.12:17 & 18.

I have a personal experience that once a person in my dad and mum once buried received a certificate given at the graveyard indicating that the person buried no longer lives. From then on that person cannot transact or do anything in this world again. Their life is over. Well Jesus proved He was Master over the grave by bringing Lazarus out of the grave back into human society to live again which men witnessed. His enemies concluded that if Jesus continues in this way of doing the miraculous everybody will choose to follow Him.

Now we can certainly have complete confidence in a person who can achieve such a feat that causes men who were weeping and mourning because a life is over. We know for sure we will never be able to communicate with that person again in this world. However Jesus has the ability and power to resurrect anybody from the grave because He is the resurrection and life.

In John.5:25-29 it reads these glorious words: Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, 27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

I recall the day I shared this revelation in a message my daughter said to me is this true Dad? Can I believe and have this? Is it possible to walk in this reality that Jesus pointed out here. I said to her yes this is a true fact not something you hope may happen so you need to embrace and take it so you can experience it in your life in the now.

The Holy Spirit that day had led me to share that regardless of how intertwined our bodies were with the earth we are buried in, Jesus could distinguish every dust particle that is us and bring us back to life: That is every person who has ever lived, so how could we ever doubt His ability to do anything for us in the now.

No wonder John said in 1 John.5:14 & 15 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

Well this is the confidence we need to have because Jesus is what He said He is and can manifest that at any time or in any place no matter the circumstance or situation because He Is I Am. What a God we serve who is capable of far beyond what we can imagine possible.

So today allow these words to permeate your heart by overtaking any negative thoughts that have risen up in you against the knowledge of God. Let this word crush them to pieces as you rise up again in the might of the One you serve Jesus as you lay hold with complete confidence in what He has promised and assigned for you partake off in Him on earth. Don’t ever let anything take your confidence away from you of who Jesus is and what He will do for you because He will never change who HE is to now start failing. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews.13:8.

Let the grace in these words lift you far above anything that has threatened your trust and confidence that you are coming out triumphant. Above everything don’t throw away your confidence because that means you lose. Don’t give it away, it is your anchor and has great reward. So rise up again today in your confidence in the ability of Jesus to work on your behalf, because He will surely do so. Then boldly share the story of triumph as He brings you through with shouts of victory in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time with Him emphasized to me the reason why we need to look to Him for insight and understanding in life. He spoke of us not relying on our own understanding which is limited to the earthly realm.

Proverbs.3:5 says: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. The key phrase in this passage is lean not or trust not your own version of the event, but acknowledge that the Lord has a broader view of things that you are unable to see into which show a completely different viewpoint from your limited scope.

Well today the Holy Spirit wants you to see from the revealed word the viewpoint of the Lord as revealed from the book of Revelation of how God sees and looks at things versus our limitation in sight. Jesus always said let him that has eyes to see let him see and he who has ears to hear let him hear what the Spirit is saying which goes beyond our natural eyes and ears because we all have them to view things in the natural realm.

In Revelation.4:6 it reads these words: Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. Now look at the living creatures and their characteristics: full of eyes plural in front and behind.

They see ahead to lead and guide the way forward but also see from behind also to cover every possible incident that could arise after moving forward all at the same time. We on the other hand can only visualize what we focus on whether ahead or behind at a given point. Very limited and that is why we cannot lean on it.

However there is still more to the scope from which the Lord sees which I am going to share now. In Revelation.4:8a it says: The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. Again the four living creatures were full of eyes this time around and within pointing out they are seeing events with multiple eyes all around every situation and within the situation, so no part of anything is missing from their sight.

They have absolutely no blind side which is what we as humans have which hinders and hampers us because we could not see into that area but have to make presumptions on what can be seen in there.

The Lord however makes no presumption on facts. He knows the full picture and that’s why we need His input on all things no matter how promising they look from the natural to make the right choice. That is why God says in Jeremiah.29:10: I know the thoughts I think towards you, thoughts of good not evil to give you a hope a future and an expected end. There is a way that looks/seems right to man or in our sight but the end is destruction.

We as humans do not see the full picture so we can therefore be easily deceived and that is why we cannot lean on our own understanding but must trust and rely on the insight of the Holy Spirit.

I remember clearly the day the Holy Spirit revealed this truth to me from the book of Revelation and said the man John receiving this truth was accustomed to leaning on the bosom of Jesus. So you can imagine how stunned he was when he saw Jesus in His glorious body to the point of falling to the ground as a dead man seeing his resurrected Master in His glory. John needed Jesus, His Master, to pick him up to enable him to understand this new realm of glory where Jesus is.

From that day I knew that anything I needed to know in the Spirit would require me to have insight from the Holy Spirit or else I would come short of understanding because of my lack of full sight. So I made up my mind to trust the Holy Spirit and His full analysis of every situation rather than what it looked like to me. I can assure you that He has never been wrong because He sees the complete picture and I choose to believe Him more than my study and knowledge which are limited.

Now the book of Revelation is the unveiling of Jesus and who He is from where He is now seated in glory not of who He was on earth. Even John who had experienced Him in the earthly realm when he gets to see Jesus in His brand new revealed state and His position of glory. John is forced by His overwhelming glory to adapt to change from his limited perspective of Jesus by embracing the new reality of who Jesus is at present in glory. He could no longer rely on His earthly relationship with Jesus to experience Heaven on earth in the present sphere of glory.

Each time I spend meditating on the book of Revelation my eyes open up to new facets of who Jesus is and the greater scope of His authority which makes me more capable to overcome and win more triumphs in situations because I have greater understanding of truth which Jesus pointed out the Holy Spirit would lead us into that we might be free to walk in the power and authority of Jesus. John.16:12-15.

Today having received these words may the grace to see further and deeper in the Spirit from the Lord’s perspective become your portion. May you have a much clearer understanding of the will of the Lord for your life as you are ushered into walking in the path Jesus has prepared for you rather than paths you think or have imagined which only bring failure.

I pray today that the inner depths of your heart will open up to clearer insight from the Lord which gives you the whole picture of things rather than little snippets that encourage pride of knowledge. These have the tendency to rob you of God results because you are living on presumption rather than real faith and truth which bring freedom.

Have a wonderful day of exploration and discovery of the reasons why you have missed out on so much because you did not see the full spiritual picture. Then watch how the Holy Spirit brings you out of these blocks and leads you on forward in victory with full clarity in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants me to share with you a truth about what Jesus said we as His followers have as the advantage in life over those in the world. He wants us to destroy the notion that we as believers are aliens in this world and should be looking to depart from this wicked world and go to heaven.

Jesus wants us to know that we have the advantage on earth, therefore we should live victorious and triumphant over evil. We are the custodians of the earth, not the escapists. We as followers of Jesus are the ones with the authority to determine what happens on the earth. We are not the receivers of the garbage satan wants us in fear to receive and be in oppression to. John.10:10.

Let’s look at what Jesus spoke in Mark.4:11 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, 12 so 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.’

” First of all it is the will of Jesus for you to know the things of the Kingdom because He has given us the ability to know. You ask so why don’t we know? If you look further on in verse 14 Jesus asks how it is that you do not understand this parable?

In other words what makes us so dull that we miss what is being said. We need as an absolute necessity to apply ourselves to know and gain the necessary knowledge by asking the Lord to explain to us His workings. Then know them in reality and walk in His ways.

The power to know and knowing are two different things altogether. Having the ability to do something and doing or applying the ability to that thing are very different. An expert is not qualified until he possesses the skill and ability to do so by reason of experience and not theory.

We must put action into getting to know the mystery of the Kingdom. It is no use saying I know or have the ability to know. Then do nothing with it.

We need to give attention to getting to know the Kingdom by studying all that the King Jesus says and understanding what He wants. Then applying the wisdom of how things operate from His viewpoint.Ephesians.1:17-23.

A clear example of this would be. What if Peter had not noticed that Jesus answered the fig tree in Mark.11. Would Peter then have gone on to notice and observe the uprooting of the tree by the next day. It was Peter’s observation of what Jesus said that enabled him to ask the right question.

This action on Peter’s part stirred up Jesus to give this comprehensive lesson on the power of faith in the heart of the followers of Jesus to command mountains to move and they have to obey our voice.

If Peter just let that experience pass by and did not engage to know the truth. It is clear Jesus was not going to volunteer that explanation. We have to ask the questions of the Lord to receive answers.Luke.11:10.

Peter agreed to follow Jesus and it was now his responsibility to ask the relevant questions on things that happened so he could understand them and walk in them just as Jesus did.

The disciples also noticed from their experience of Jesus’s daily pattern that Jesus prayed often. Jesus made it a priority to find deserted places to go and pray. Thus in view of the fact that Jesus had remarkable answers after he came from prayer they concluded that there is a direct correlation between his prayer time and the miracles Jesus performed. So based on that reality they observed they asked the right question of Jesus, which is to teach us how to pray?

Rather than how to heal men or cast out demons from people because it appeared that His prayer covered all things. By working through this observation of reality in the life of Jesus they came to the conclusion that once you have spoken and communicated with the Lord in prayer great things would happen. Which was always the case. Then since Jesus made it His practice then we of necessity must follow suit to have identical results. See Acts.6:2 & 4.

Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

Not that we will give ourselves to understanding demons and their operations but to talking with God continually. The result being that we will always have success just as our master Jesus had. That is exactly what happened: they applied their ability to know the things of the Kingdom by seeking the King Jesus and obeying what He spoke through the Holy Spirit to them and triumphed in every situation.

This is exactly what the Holy Spirit wants you to experience. So go ahead and apply yourself by seeking in prayer what Jesus has made ready for you to do, by hearing it, understanding it. Then take the necessary action the Holy Spirit says and have the conclusion through the manifestation of the miracle by the power of the Holy Spirit which brings glory to the name and Kingdom of Jesus.

Remember it is your God given right to know the things of the Kingdom. You have no right to be ignorant of the devices of the enemy to rob you of the knowledge of God. This is why satan comes with deception to steal, kill and destroy your knowledge of God.

Remember it is the Lord that said the knowledge of the glory of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk.2:14. You should be so loaded with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord in manifestation that all we see is the glory of the Lord not our weakness, failures and compromise.

I pray today that these words would ignite in you a new passion and overwhelming desire for more of the Holy Spirit. Let the grace supplied abound towards you to go in pursuit of knowing more concerning the operations of the Holy Spirit. Then let the result be that the Kingdom of Jesus will be seen more and more through your life as you walk in more understanding and knowledge of the work of the Lord which is your mission on earth.

To serve the purpose of Jesus on earth and glorify His Name. Have a triumphant day in the fullness of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ name. Amen.

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

The Holy Spirit however wants us to place a demand on the God of the now rather later which never seems to come once we choose to wait for later. In the scripture the Holy Spirit brought to my heart this morning to meditate on to raise my expectation to walk in that word today. I will share some of the things the Holy Spirit revealed to me that should free you from putting off for later what God wants to do in the now of your life. The Lord really wants to meet our needs now and solve issues now if only we will let Him.

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

Martha firstly uses the excuse of Jesus not having arrived on time to have stopped the unfortunate incident of Lazarus dying. She goes on to blame Jesus for not caring. She offers Jesus no sacrifice of praise with her lips but complains with her lips and does not contemplate what miracle would happen if she just submitted to Jesus’s plan for today. Hebrews.13:15.

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

This needs to be the question we all need to ask ourselves when we are faced with a challenge that requires an act of God on our behalf that demands our action and participation in the now. This is because what we choose to believe and do at that moment will determine what happens. I am so happy that Jesus only takes the words of faith we speak and ignores our failures. Hebrews.3:1-3.

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

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

She had no faith for today and was about to fall prey to the word of caution to every follower of God: “today when you hear His voice do not harden your heart” as in the day of rebellion when your fathers tempted God. If you harden your heart God can do nothing for you so it is important that we open our hearts to what the Holy Spirit is saying for today and change to line up with Him so we can experience what God wants to do. Hebrews.3:7-15.

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

You would have thought that after hearing these words Martha would just believe. Why did she not believe that Jesus was the resurrection and the life? She was refusing to engage with the moment of faith which is always in the now even though Jesus kept pushing her to take a stand. I am resurrection now so expect to see resurrection manifested today. Hebrews.11:1.

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

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

Martha fortunately goes on to see the miracle happen because her sister Mary has a different approach to Jesus and Jesus can work with that to accomplish His will though she still butts in again when Jesus orders for the tomb of Lazarus to be opened. Again she opens her mouth and talks about the smell of a dead body. Jesus again has to rebuke her to keep her remaining in union with Him. Not a good place to be.

Well today the Holy Spirit wants you to look at what happened here with Martha and take care of those patterns in your life that rob you of obeying God in the now. We all don’t have a sister who can cover for our faults and make up the hedge for us. So unlike Martha you have missed the opportunities and have gone on to blame the Lord for failing you.

When in fact it was you who stumbled during the process just as Martha did and could not submit to the Holy Spirit’s leading.

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

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

The Holy Spirit desires today that you take recognition of the fact that He is able to create beauty out of the most horrific circumstances in life. Turning ashes into beauty. Then create a solution that defies all human comprehension and puts you in the place of advantage. The Holy Spirit reminded me this morning that it was always in the worst case scenarios in the bible that we see some of the most remarkable turnarounds. 2 Kings.7:1-19.

These marvelous works which leave the audience startled at how the Lord so easily changes events that leaves us speechless and in awe of His ability to make changes from nothing to absolute beauty. This is what the Holy Spirit expects we should constantly believe for and expect the Lord to be doing on a daily basis in our lives.

Well first of all we need to remember that the Lord pointed out that in His Presence He gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did. Romans.4:17. This makes it clear that the Lord never looks at the impossibilities that are present before us but His ability to make instant changes on our behalf and bring beauty out of ashes.

The Holy Spirit reminds me of Jesus at the house of Jairus when He arrives and all the mourners are shouting and crying about the death of his daughter. Jesus on the other hand says she is not dead but only sleeping. We are told that once Jesus uttered those words they all laughed Him to scorn.Luke.8:52-54.

What a startling change in people: they go from such weeping and sorrow to laughing with scorn because someone offers a different viewpoint which He is sure of. Remember that will always happen when you say what the Lord has revealed He will do on your behalf. However don’t be moved, because the Lord will accomplish what He has spoken.

I am reminded of an instant in a Meeting I was holding in London when the Holy Spirit said to me in the middle of the message I was preaching to call out a child who could not speak. As I called him forward the Lord healed him instantly and they witnessed him speak for the first time and what a service we went on to have as that miracle was wrought by the hand of the Lord. The miracle working power of the Lord was the end of the message as people witnessed the healing power of the Lord at work.

Well Jesus just throws them all out and proceeds to turn that disaster and death to resurrection and life as He commands the little girl to wake up. She instantly responds to His command by waking up. Question ?Would you be willing for Jesus to do that in your house? Throw out all the doubters including family members so you can receive from the hand of the Lord? Food for thought!

You know Jesus has such a wonderful sense of humor because He goes on to tell them to tell no one what has happened. No funeral takes place because there is no body to bury after all the noise those mourners made. So where is the girl who they all knew was dead? She is alive running around playing for all to see and Jesus says don’t tell what took place. You see, Jesus just allowed the miracle to speak for itself. Many times we allow our conversation to spoil its full impact. How do you hold back such a beautiful story?

Jesus responded simply from His view of resurrection not death as with God He does not see death but life which He is. He demonstrates His ability by infallible proof as the little girl becomes the recipient of the resurrection hand of Jesus at work for all to see. What a marvel! I am so thankful that I serve a God who can do what He says and perform what He has spoken. Romans.4:17.

Let me proceed to share the scriptures and lessons the Holy Spirit wants you to see to encourage you to believe so you can walk in these realities of how God views situations. The Lord always gives instant solutions that turn around disasters that bring forth marvels. Just watch in 2 Kings.6 & 7 as we see such a dire situation in a nation which is devastated to a point where children are used as food to cook and eat.

I was stunned at the extent of the famine that I asked the Lord where there were no animals, vegetables, fruits they could eat rather than use human children ? Well in chapter.7:1 Elisha tells them openly what the Lord will do tomorrow about a national crisis. The price of food would be sold the next day, and a man retorted by saying if even heaven’s windows are open could this possibly happen? Elisha tells him you will see it happen but will not enjoy its benefit because you questioned God’s ability.

Well God didn’t need to open heaven but only needed a band of four lepers to carry out His plan which happened exactly as Elisha said including the removal of the man who doubted. We need to see from the Holy Spirit’s vantage point and allow Him to work the miraculous on our behalf.

The way the Lord saw that matter was I will change it in such a way that causes people to marvel at how that was possible. This went on to glorify His name for the marvel accomplished in the eyes of men. It did not matter how grave the situation was, God could change it overnight and we have to come to the point in our lives where we will begin to see the Lord working from His perspective on our behalf and not through the limitations we have put on His ability to act for us. As He pointed out to Israel you always limited the Holy One. Psalm.78:41.

It is time for us to remove the limitations we have ascribed to God and begin to see from His perspective what He is able to do and that is exceedingly abundantly above all we could ask or think according to His power at work in us. Ephesians.3:20.

We need to expand our capacity to believe as Isaiah.54 says and become fluid and responsive to expect far more of His miraculous power at work on our behalf. In John.6 Jesus demonstrates this as He asks Philip where shall we buy bread to feed these people, testing Philip to see where his belief was concerning Jesus. As it says, knowing what He was going to do. Multiply five loaves and two fish to feed Five thousand and have extras leftover after all had eaten to complete satisfaction.

Now I trust you are beginning to see what the Lord wants you to come to in your expectation of Him doing for you. I pray that through these words the grace to believe the impossible will become a reality in you. You will then go on from today to believe, receive and see extraordinary miracles take place that change nation’s situations in a day.

Things will begin to happen that will startle men and demonstrate the Might of the Lord on display to glorify His wonderful name and expand His Kingdom on earth in Jesus’s marvellous name. Amen.
