More and more each day I am finding the Holy Spirit reminding me that it is not my works of keeping the laws of God, which I need to do and my righteous living that entitles me to His grace but the sacrifice of Jesus that made atonement for my soul. Ephesians.1:3-12.

He keeps reminding me that it is the righteousness of Jesus that gives me access to the blessings of God. Romans.5:17. We have a tendency as humans to make doctrines out of events that limit us and disqualify us from the simplicity of what Jesus made available for us. That’s why we err so easily and disconnect from life. John.5:19 & 30.

So today I encourage you to surrender your heart to the influence of the Holy Spirit and receive the necessary wisdom, knowledge, understanding and the word He has for you today rather than submit to what laws you can keep that make you feel good, but which keep you in defeat.

It is the power of the Holy Spirit and not how you feel that makes you able to do the will of God. Hebrews.4:16. If we could have done the will of God ourselves there would be no reason for God to give us the Helper the Holy Spirit to guide, lead and direct us into the paths of peace and pleasantness He God promised us. John.16:7-15.

Take time now to commune with the Holy Spirit and let Him direct your day aright. Stop being the boss and let Him guide and show you how you should go. Worship the Lord for how great He is and allow Him to help you overcome your weaknesses through His strength which is limitless.

Let the power of the Holy Spirit propel you and just see how different and productive your day will be. Remember that walking with the Holy Spirit is a daily walk that adds up to a glorious continual walk of total surrender to the will of the Father. John.5:30.

Have a blessed and productive day in Jesus’ name and experience the Mighty power of God’s hand on your life.

The Holy Spirit this morning in my communion time reminded me of Hebrews.12:1 & 2 which reads these words 12 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

The Holy Spirit emphasized the reality of what surrounds our lives which is a cloud of witnesses who have stories of triumph which God did for their lives that rain down miraculous answers for any situation that can possibly rise up against us or which we may face that seek to rob us of our peace and the plan of God for our lives. 

There is a solution for every problem which the Lord has covered before.  We can glean from and hold onto this to see us through every possible attack or opposition to the knowledge of God concerning our lives fulfilling the plan of the Lord for us.

Let us therefore investigate the reality of this promise with the Holy Spirit and ensure we are receiving the full measure of blessings within it that are ordained for our glory. Firstly we must realize that the great cloud of witnesses are proof holders and sharers/partakers in what they have already experienced when they faced obstacles that almost took them out. 

However because of their covenant with God, He stepped in and brought them out by a miraculous intervention which startled the enemy that had come against them.

They therefore possess a story of glory which is evidence that can be used in court to decide the outcome of any similar case because it has become the precedent to guide judgment for all other cases covering that area in life.

Let this reality saturate your being and take over your thoughts so you can be in position to lay hold of and receive all the Father has determined for you to have in this season. We are told in scripture that satan is the accuser of the brethren Revelation.12:10 and does this accusation continually day and night.

However we are told that we must overcome him and not allow the accusations to determine the course of our lives. When it comes to accusations we need to rise up and defend ourselves otherwise when they are brought up in court we can be convicted if we do not oppose those accusations vehemently and give a defense against those charges. The blood of Jesus is our plea.Ephesians.1:7 & 8.

Now you can see why the cloud of witnesses is such a blessing (a source of strength) for us because we have those who won in those situations as witnesses to the fact that we also will come out triumphant because the same Lord who brought them out triumphantly is here to do the same for us. 

This is because they carry the proof of this reality which becomes our defense. Of Course because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews.13;8. Thank God He never changes.

This is why the woman with the issue of blood for twelve years could believe that if she touched the Hem of His garment she would be healed. She was healed because she had heard that Jesus had healed all sick people that came to Him and her situation would be no different if she just touched Him. Mark.5:25-30.

This reality worked perfectly for her so that as she touched Jesus virtue flowed out of Him and she was instantly healed. So powerful was the flow from Jesus to her that He knew that power had gone from Him and healed someone. 

For that reason Jesus wanted to know so Jesus could encourage us through her testimony that we could count on the cloud of witnesses testimony to receive what God had already done before on our behalf to make us whole from any obstacle or oppression of the devil. Acts.10:38.

Let us go further with the Holy Spirit and tap into this grace which will bring us remarkable testimonies of triumph. After recognising the reality of the Cloud of witnesses we then need to lay aside or put away from our thoughts, minds, emotions and intellects every weight of bondage or oppression and the temptation it affords us to sin. Hebrews.12:1 & 2.

This desire to sin that so easily besets us because it offers temporary reprieve and an easy way out where we just need to succumb and yield to the desire and have its benefits.

We are offered through the cloud of witnesses who went past the sin barrier and gained the promise of ability to put aside the weight of sin and look to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith or Trust. Jesus proved His faithfulness even in death and experienced the same triumph through His grace working on our behalf so that through His endurance working for us it would bring us to the finish line and gain the full inheritance.

This is such an honour and privilege to share in the grace Jesus provided for us to be strong enough to overcome every obstacle death throws at us and come out with life and that in its fullest measure with a story of glory. john.10:10.

My prayer for you today is that as you receive these words you will experience the realization of them in your life today. Then go ahead and walk in the manifestation of Jesus’ power doing exceedingly and abundantly above all you could ask or think according to His power at work in you.

Let the Holy Spirit create a story of glory in your lives that will speak loud and clear of the Kingdom of Jesus still faithfully working on the Earth for men to see, supplying them the grace to trust in Him. This enables more people to serve His Lordship on this earth in Jesus name. Amen.

Have a Fruitful and productive day in Jesus name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit says today stop using your mouth to darken His way concerning you which hinders your path. Stop the negative thoughts and words you speak when you are alone, because those are the times God and your enemy sees what you are doing that others are not aware of.

“The reality is those words (which are really you) are what will create and define your life’s consequences.”Job.38:2.

The positive words you speak in Church in the presence of others don’t define you as they are spoken for the benefit of others but the Lord wants you to speak His words when you’re by yourself.

In your most vulnerable times when you feel helpless for that is when His words will become your strength and give you grace to overcome whatever challenges you. Matthew.12:36.

So please refrain from giving your enemy ammunition to shoot you down with, and give God yours words of agreement that you will succeed and fulfill His will for your life. So today repent for continually giving voice to the enemy and receive grace to yield your voice to the Holy Spirit who will bring you out to triumph.

You will not fail if you turn and give the Holy Spirit your words of agreement and support today and going forward.

Actually things will progress speedily on your behalf and you will have resolution and restoration on negative events that have transpired as you agree with God’s word for you, and you will have a great time of celebration in the goodness of the Lord. Malachi.3:16-18.

So step in using God’s words and watch the remarkable changes that will occur in your life in Jesus Name. Amen. Have an astounding Day in the Holy Spirit.

In my communion time with the Holy Spirit [which I recommend you should make a practice] this morning He spoke to me about us not allowing the negative words of people or even family determine who we believe we are. Throw them off as rags and don’t let them sit on you ever again. Colossians.3:3.

He reminded me that our identity is determined by what God has said we are and no other voice has the authority to change that reality. Just as the Father spoke to Jesus in Luke.3:22 which resulted in the Holy Spirit descending in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

This is God’s plan for us to have our identity from the words He speaks about and over us.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that when He made a Covenant with Abraham ,He pointed out that He would bless those who bless Abraham and He would curse those who curse Abraham.Genesis.12:3 says I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

In other words the Lord was saying that anyone who spoke contrary to what God spoke about Abraham God would deal with and stop. It also indicated that God knew that people would not agree with God’s perspective of Abraham and would have the audacity to voice it. 

The Holy Spirit reminded me that no one can speak and it comes to pass against us when He the Lord had not ordained it. It is our duty He said to only speak what the Lord says about us and reject what is not His will for our life’s.

This the Holy Spirit pointed out to me is what we need to make a habit.Saying who God says we are must be our priority and not allowing the accusing voice of the enemy determine our course.Revelation.12:11.The enemy does speak through people and in particular those we trust when he wants to deceive and move us away from the God ordained path. 

As an example in Matthew.16:23 satan spoke through Peter to stop Jesus going to the cross, however Jesus responded by rebuking the devil using Peter’s voice.

The Holy Spirit cautioned me that we must be aware of the fact that though we resist the voice of satan we are not to vilify the human vessel. He reminded me how Jesus responded to Judas after he kissed Him and betrayed Him. He was decent and cordial.Truly loving. It was satan that entered Judas and Judas went on to perform satan’s will which is to steal, kill and destroy. John.10:10.

So today take hold of this truth and allow the grace in these words to give you the necessary strength to resist the negative words spewed against you. Then empowered by the Holy Spirit  focus on God’s words spoken over your life which have given you a future, a hope and an expected end of glory in your service for Him in Jesus Name. Amen. Jeremiah.29:11.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit He reminded me of the depth of things about Himself to me from the Bible which I don’t know yet.

It appears to me that the Holy Spirit wants us so loaded with His nature and character to such a vast degree that only the Holy Spirit is visible in our life’s. The Lord wants us completely following and serving only the will of Jesus.John.5:30.

Lord I pray today come more and more till we are totally saturated with your Presence and Power exuding from us as was with Jesus.

Let me now share some of the nuggets of truth He revealed to me and deeper insight into truths I already knew but got a greater understanding of. I came into an understanding of further application on how to use this revelation more effectively to bring more glory to the Lord.

In 1 Corinthians.2:9-12 we read these words But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

The Holy Spirit reminded me of what He shared with me yesterday of seeing beyond the plain and mountain into the things God has made available for us to experience in this present season. Well the Holy Spirit is the person through whom we can get to know these deep things of God because He alone can search all things even the deeper things of God.

This is why you always find me stressing the importance of having communion time with the Holy Spirit because without Him any knowledge you have of God will be of no use to you because your natural mind will prevent you understanding it because it cannot discern the things of the Spirit and you will fall flat on your face. 1 Corinthians.2:12.

Jesus never says anything lightly so when He said it is to your advantage that I go away because if I don’t the Holy Spirit cannot come to you. He knew the importance of us having the Holy Spirit to help us in our weaknesses and empower us to serve the Lord in Spirit and truth for that is what the Father seeks. John.2:5.

We cannot serve God in the flesh with truth because that is a lie ,because the flesh will not serve the Lord in truth. but the Holy Spirit serves only the truth because He is the Spirit of truth. John.6:63.

You will notice that truth needs to be revealed to us, in other words God has to open our spiritual eyes to truth. This is because the heart of man loves lies or deception because it is deceitful not truthful as God pointed out to Jeremiah in Jeremiah.17:9 & 10

“The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? 10 I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.

Remember only the Holy Spirit can search the heart of man and test man’s heart so how can you expect you can do anything without His help, guidance and insight that is worth life. This is why we need to walk closely with the Holy Spirit because He alone reveals the truth on any matter and shows us future events.John.16:13.

I recall when my brothers thought I was crazy with my God pursuit and had smart answers for me when I tried to convert them with my biblical knowledge. However, thanks to the input of the Holy Spirit spoke to me to leave them alone and focus on walking with Him.

From that time on the Holy Spirit started revealing things to me about future events which I told them that happened each time concerning themselves, and they all came to pass.

Let me tell you something, things changed dramatically, they started wanting me to speak to them about the God thing now because they saw the manifestation of the Holy Spirit each time I spoke rather than my pleas and words using scripture to convince them.

This message of the Kingdom is not words only but the manifestation of the Holy Spirit that makes things happen for men to see and know God is real. 1 Corinthians.2:4 & 5.

Verse.12 of 1 Corinthians.2 points out the crux of the matter that we have received not the spirit of this world but the Spirit that is from God so that we might know the things that have been freely given us by God. Jesus wants us to know by the Holy Spirit everything He intended for us to have.

He does not want us living in suspense, not sure of our experience with God but in the knowledge of God downloaded to us by the Holy Spirit. We need to surrender more to the Holy Spirit just as Jesus did when living on the earth. John.16:13.

Jesus did everything under the direction of the Holy Spirit and had absolutely perfect results. We need to have the same tenacity Jesus had to seek the counsel of the Holy Spirit and walk in it rather than our natural instincts. We need to reject the spirit of the world and with open arms receive and embrace the Holy Spirit of truth to guide and direct our lives to triumph in the Lord. Luke.4:1,2,14.

My heart prayer for you this morning is that as you hear these words the Holy Spirit will open your eyes to truth and empower you with all the necessary grace as He did Noah to build the Ark of the Holy Spirit for your life to be saved and rescued.

This is to ensure you live on the other side of the floods and turmoil of the enemy that have plagued your life through the Power of the Holy Spirit of truth so you are triumphant in every area of your life in the name of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit wants you knowing everything you need spiritually to walk triumphantly in this season so you are no longer running hit and miss patterns of life and death, but experiencing life and that more abundantly that Jesus bought and paid for you to experience. John.10:10.

May this be your personal story in this season in Jesus name. Amen.

Today I want to share my heart with you on what the Holy Spirit spoke to me as I had communion and prayer time with Him. He reminded me of two flight trips that I had in the past where the planes were re-routed and we landed in a different place from our original destination, and we had to take off again some time later to get to our final destination. 

He pointed out to me clearly that if in the natural/ physical world after a flight detour we still made it to the planned destination how much more will He the Lord bring us to our expected end. This regardless of the many detours into the enemy’s camp, difficult obstacles and challenges we never anticipated or expected we would have to go through.

 The Holy Spirit emphatically assured me that He will navigate us to the purpose and plan Jesus initiated for us no matter what we have passed through and bring us into our broad place of triumph and glory. Romans.8:27 & 28. 

It was so uplifting to know from the assurance of the Holy Spirit that God will still fulfill His original plan.  The Holy Spirit saying it, knowing His ability to make the impossible possible indicated that arriving at the God destination will manifest soon. Therefore we can look forward to all things being aligned into the Speed and movement of God that brings forth manifestation in the now.

 So I encourage you to take heart for you will be re-routed by the Holy Spirit and be brought back to the original plan God said will happen for your life. Therefore keep your eyes focused and centred on Him and worship Him for bringing you into His promised end for your life in the now. Act.27:21-26.

Blessings multiplied to you today in Jesus Name. Amen.

Today I share the conclusion of the revelation of the word of Christ dwelling richly in our hearts.

The Holy Spirit will never force the word of Christ on us, but He can guide us, lead us if we will, to the pertinent word to enrich our lives in Christ. However, if we do not follow Him, He will not make it happen for us without our consent, agreement, cooperation and what we want from hearing the rich word of Christ to accomplish in our lives.

I am conscious that the Holy Spirit was wanting me to up my confessions and meditation on the Word of Christ in me today because there are things that I will be required to do that will need me to be at my strongest spiritually to overcome.

This will ensure that I will have maximum benefits of what the Lord wants to accomplish through me today. Moreover, also in this season which will require the strength of the word of Christ richly dwelling, residing in me so the Holy Spirit can use the word in me to accomplish what He planned and purposed for me to do for the glory of His name.

We most times take for granted the level of spiritual energy required to accomplish the will of Christ in our lives but the phrase God gave Joshua in his commission in Joshua.1:9 to only be strong and courageous reminds us of how important God views it.

Well the Lord had already pointed out to Joshua that his meditation day and night on His word would achieve that strength working in Joshua which would enable him to observe what to do as the word of Christ took hold within him richly.

This repetition of instruction shows how important it is for us to be prepared daily for action to obey the Holy Spirit and carry out the plan of the Lord.

“This process of daily allowing or permitting the word of Christ to dwell, reside and abide in you richly will always determine what the Holy Spirit will be able to accomplish through you for Jesus on any occasion in life.”

My prayer for you today is that as you hear these words and take them to heart, the grace flowing through them will propel you to richly value the worth of what Christ spoke. You will receive strength beyond anything that you ever knew or understood before.

This reality will make you a recipient of the non ending Might of the power of the Most High to work out extraordinary signs, wonders and miracles on your behalf to glorify Jesus and His name in your life.

Have a blessed, productive and fruitful day in Jesus Name. Amen.

This morning the Holy Spirit spoke a word through me from Colossians.3 that came through clearly in my view and captivated my whole being. The Holy Spirit has many ways in which He conveys messages to us to get our attention on what really matters that ensure that we are keeping up with Him and not lagging back.

I have found by experience that the Holy Spirit is such a Perfect Mentor who knows exactly what you need when you need it and has the power available to make what is needed available for you in an instant to manifest it for your benefit.

Thank you Jesus for the indescribable gift of the Holy Spirit to be the support, help and aid we need to succeed in life and be productive for the glory of Jesus. John.16:13.

Let us look at the scripture the Holy spirit quickened to me Colossians.3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

You say well I know Christ dwells or lives in me so what is new and special about that? I will explain what the Holy Spirit wanted to further enlarge the reality of truth in me about the word of the Lord. I saw clearly that we first of all are the ones who must give permission for the word of Christ to dwell in us.

How we choose to see or interpret the word of the Lord and apply it to our lives will determine how it will impact us. Luke.4:24. You could say it this way: let the word of Christ dwell poorly in you in foolishness, complaining, and negative words.

Always causing you harm and affecting others negatively by bringing disrepute to Jesus’ name and the truth is we see so much of that in the lives of believers.

It is our choice to let the word of Christ dwell richly in us by our diligence in confessing that word continually and meditating on it over and over again till it actually starts dwelling, living, and breathing in and through us.

The Holy Spirit’s reminder is to awaken us back to increasing our confession and meditation which gives Him more room and scope in us to perform the word of Christ in our lives Romans.10:10.

We need to on purpose deny ourselves daily, not just weekly or monthly and take up our cross and follow Jesus. We know for real that we cannot follow Jesus by leading Him and directing the path forward.

“How we respond to the word of Christ in us today will determine how much it will live, work and abide in us for this today.”

“We need to allow the word to richly impact our lives. We need to receive it in all its riches, appreciating that it is more valuable than our daily food and clothing needs. We must pursue it more faithfully than resources for ourselves.”

Remember that it is Jesus who said we should take heed of how we hear the word, because the measure we use will be measured back to you, meaning that the value we place on it will determine how much it will benefit us. If we don’t allow it to influence your decisions daily it will not change things for us.

“We are the determiners of how much the word of Christ will benefit us.”

So if you are unhappy with your results then change the way you see and value the Word of Christ in your individual life and do what is necessary by your confession and meditation to increase its potency in you.

Let these words minister grace to you for today’s challenges and invoke a fiery passion and zeal in you to see the word of Christ dwell richly in your life so there will be a greater manifestation of the riches of Christ in miraculous signs and wonders following your life in Jesus name. Amen.

I will continue with part: 2 of this revelation tomorrow.

Today I want to continue the revelation from my communion time with the Holy Spirit yesterday on building a heart of faith which is rooted in constantly hearing from the heart of God. This means our heart is always causing faith to come in and expand in our daily experience of life thus enabling us to continually please the Lord. Hebrews.11:6.

Remember Matthew.14:28-32. Which reads : And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

Faith came to Peter when Jesus said the words come. Now the faith that came had nothing to do with the state of Peter’s mind or any good deed he had done that day the Holy Spirit pointed out. It came because Jesus the author and finisher of faith Hebrews.12:2 gave the word of command and from that moment Peter stepped into a spiritual force of faith that enabled him to please God as he walked on the water.

Now it is important to also note that Peter did not understand the dynamics that were at work that enabled Jesus to walk on water which was a supernatural occurrence. He was just privileged to partake of it because he asked Jesus for the opportunity which Jesus granted.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that faith is not about us understanding all the parameters of how the impossible becomes possible but stepping out on the word of the Lord trusting that He has all things covered.Hebrews.1:2-4.

We therefore need to be more sensitive to the words the Holy Spirit speaks at any given time rather than the present obstacle or barrier in the way. This is because the words the Holy Spirit will speak to you are spirit and have life in them which will come into being/ existence regardless of present opposing circumstances.John.6:63.

Faith comes therefore because we hear and hearing comes because we hear what the word of the Lord says. On an occasion when Jesus was speaking we are told that the Power of the Lord was present to heal people but no one received anything. Luke.5:20 However we see these words spoken by Jesus : When He saw their faith, He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

You see people were in the meeting hearing Jesus speaking, ( just as it happens with us when we attend church) but no faith came to them to receive the healing present to change their situation. It took outsiders who did not have tickets to attend the Jesus meeting because of the vast crowd that heard the voice of what was spoken of Jesus.

Who then came believing the word about Him performing miracles, ready to do anything to get into His Presence which they did which changed the man’s life. This is what the Holy Spirit pointed out: Jesus is looking for faith in the hearts of men.Luke.7:9.

Yes this is what the Holy Spirit wants us to live out daily in our lives as we reach out in faith to lay hold of all the exceedingly great and precious promises the Lord has stored up for us. 2 Peter.1:4.Our hearts the Holy Spirit pointed out have to be in faith seeking the voice of the Lord on all matters so we can have the right Godly miraculous outcomes after we obey His voice.

As we have noted Peter only started that journey of faith when Jesus gave him the word which propelled him forward to come walk on the water and have such a grand testimony.

So it is vitally important that we always position ourselves to ensure we are walking by faith because doubt always comes quickly after faith has been sown in our hearts. Doubt came regardless of the fact that Peter was looking at Jesus and Peter had no answer for it to resist it so he started to sink.Mark.4:15.

This is the reason the Holy Spirit is speaking to me about us building a faith by hearing the word conversation with the voice of the Lord. This will mean we are never in a place where doubt, unbelief, fear and the voices of men determine our outcomes in life.

There are things that will remain as long as we live on the earth: the negative voices which contradict the truth. However the Holy Spirit of truth is here to help us create a pathway that enables us to overcome every obstacle by our victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. 1 John.5:4.

I will share this testimony as another evidence of this reality: a lady I was mentoring at the time had an issue at work and they were being terminated from their position. However the company was unwilling to pay a reasonable severance package and literally offered just a month’s pay.

The Holy Spirit spoke to me to tell her to go approach the Personnel Officer and demand a severance of £10,000.They were taken aback by the request because they had never experienced her in their employ to question them and make demands.

They flatly refused her and told her to exit the premises with threats and she came crying saying she knew she could not stand up to them because they were a big company with much human clout.

So I calmly reminded her of what the Holy Spirit had revealed to me and the amount He had spoken for her to request and that she would be paid that amount. So began the fight which she went on to win and received the £10,000 plus the month’s severance.

Faith came to her when I spoke the word of the £10,000 but doubt assailed her once she made the request and she was retreating instantly.

Thankfully she picked herself back up as Peter did with the help of Jesus and came to the conclusion of that event with the £10,000 the Lord had spoken rejoicing because she had also received a better job with better perks.

Well today is your day for such a miracle and as you have heard these words faith has been imparted to you to take a step forward and defy what has been troubling you.

You can be assured that by the power of the word of the Lord your situation will change and a miraculous event will take place that will startle you and reveal the hand of the Lord on your behalf that will become the hallmark of increasing faith victories in your life going forward in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning the Holy Spirit spoke a word through me from Colossians.3 that came through clearly in my view and captivated my whole being. The Holy Spirit has many ways in which He conveys messages to us to get our attention on what really matters and ensure that we are keeping up with Him and not lagging back.

The Holy Spirit is such a perfect mentor who knows exactly what you need when you need it and has the power available to make what is needed available for you in an instant to manifest it for your benefit.Thank you Jesus for the indescribable gift of the Holy Spirit to be the support, help and aid we need to succeed in life and be productive for the glory of Jesus.

Let us look at the scripture the Holy spirit quickened to me Colossians.3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

You say well I know Christ dwells or lives in me so what is new and special about that? I will explain what the Holy Spirit wanted to further enlarge the truth in me about the word of the Lord. We first of all see that we are the ones who must give permission to the word of Christ to dwell in us.

“We need to allow the word to richly impact our lives. We need to receive it as rich and more valuable than our daily food and clothing needs and pursue it more faithfully than resources for ourselves.”

Remember that it is Jesus who said take heed how you hear the word, because the measure you use will be measured back to you, meaning that the value you place on it will determine how much it will benefit you. If you don’t allow it to influence your decisions daily it will not change things for you.

“We are the determiners of how much the word of Christ will benefit us.”

So if you are unhappy with your results then change the way you see and value the Word of Christ in your individual life and do what is necessary by your confession and meditation to increase its potency in you.

The Holy Spirit will not force the word of Christ on you, but can guide you, lead you if you will, to the pertinent word. However if you will not follow Him, He will not make it happen for you without your consent, agreement and cooperation and what you want from hearing it.

I am conscious that the Holy Spirit was wanting me to up my confessions and meditation on the Word of Christ to me today because there are things that will need me to be at my strongest spiritually to overcome so I will have maximum benefits of what the Lord wants to accomplish through me today and in this season which require the strength of the word of Christ richly dwelling, residing in me so the Holy Spirit can use them in me to accomplish what He planned and purposed for me to do for the glory of His name.

The phrase God gave Joshua in his commission to only be strong and courageous. Well the Lord had already pointed out to Joshua that meditation day and night on His word would achieve that strength in Joshua which would enable him to observe what to do as the word of Christ took hold within him richly.

“This process of daily allowing or permitting the word of Christ to dwell, reside and abide in you richly will always determine what the Holy Spirit will be able to accomplish through you for Jesus on any occasion in life.”

My prayer for you today is that as you hear these words and take them to heart, grace through them will propel you to richly value the worth of what Christ spoke beyond anything that you knew or understood before and make you a recipient of the non ending Might of the power of the Most High to work out extraordinary signs, wonders and miracles on your behalf to glorify Jesus and His name in your life.

I will deal with the other aspects of this word in future posts so the full benefit of the word of the Lord will be available to you and all of its out workings will be made a reality in your daily lives as richly as the Holy Spirit wants and desires you to experience in Jesus name. Amen.
