Are you conscious that the Holy Spirit always asks us questions? Mark.9:23.He does this to help us locate where our faith is. John.6:5 & 6.

Well the Holy Spirit asks you today which voice you will choose to hear and respond to; the voice of sins guilt that continues to remind you that you are nothing and that your sin disqualifies you from God’s provision and best for you? Revelation.12:10b.

Or the voice of the blood of Jesus that made atonement for your sins and speaks the better things that accompany salvation? Hebrews.12:24.

 Today the Holy Spirit says choose to let the blood of Jesus be the voice that overwhelmingly speaks in your heart and propels you to experience the better things. 1 Peter.1:18 & 19.

Yes, all the things that pertain to your life and Godliness. 2 Peter.1:3 & 4. Certainly not the things that bring shame and disgrace which sins guilt draws towards you. Isaiah.25:8.

It will astound you what will happen once you let  the voice of the blood of Jesus speak so loudly in your heart that it obliterates shame and disgrace. 

Then as you continue to allow its provision to work on your behalf you will experience the beautiful melody of God’s plan for you to ring out celebrations of miracles, signs and wonders of Jesus magnitude to saturate your life today and going forward.

May you receive every grace today that the Holy Spirit offers you to walk in this reality in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit spoke these words to me today and I was astounded as to why though I knew them before. However this fresh unveiling of them to me now is staggering because it only requires my praise. 

When God turned the captivity of zion we were like they that dreamt. Psalm.126:1.

The Holy Spirit firstly pointed out to me the state we are in when we dream: fully asleep and literally helpless which means no human exertion or will power of strength is involved when we dream. 

This realization is so important because it means that as God works to turn around our situation we don’t need to be working, thinking or planning what to do but resting in His ability. 

We are to watch as His Hand turns around years of disappointment, frustration, loss and  oppression as He creates beauty out of ashes. Bringing fullness of joy out of sorrow, lemonade out of lemons, triumph out of tragedy.

 This is the position the Holy Spirit whispered to me we should take in life situations that come to threaten us and take us out. We must be still and watch the Lord in action show Himself strong. Psalm.46:10.

 As the Lord told Jehoshaphat in 2 chronicles:20 the battle is the Lord’s so you won’t have to do anything but praise Me and collect the spoils of victory which they needed four days to complete. 

May this working of the Holy Spirit be your story today as you receive this word. Then watch as God rolls back years of issues that have not been resolved where you have done everything yet it failed. 

Stand still now as miraculously you gain so much blessing and profit out the pain of it in Jesus Name as if you are dreaming and then awakened with everything brand new in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants to remind you today about this truth concerning Jesus: He who knew no sin became sin for you so that you might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians.5:21.

 Just take a break and meditate on this reality that you have become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. This means that God sees you exactly as He sees Jesus. John.17:20-23.

For this reason rise up today as the righteousness of God knowing that righteousness delivers you from death. Then gives you life with the assurance that you can walk knowing you are seated at the table with the King of Righteousness with all His privileges to share in everything He has available on the table. 

Think of Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, being brought to King David’s table and told this is the supply of food available to you from now. 2 Samuel.9:1-13.

Yes this is what the Holy Spirit wants you to recognise about what Jesus has done for you. So go ahead and feast from the Lord’s table that never runs dry. 

This is your portion reserved for you which provides all you will need for your life and Godliness. 2 Peter.1:3 & 4. Remember it also equips you with all the good things you need. 

So lay hold today of the Lord’s Provision for you and feast in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants you today to begin to seek Him on purpose for wise instruction each day so that you can be free from the ways of death. Isaiah.55:6.

 He reminded me that human ways which are acted upon, are based on the human thoughts which we take, meditate on ,and then act on which always lead us to the paths of death. Proverbs.14:12.

They seem right in our eyes but lead to heartache and pain and oppressive results that bind and confine us. Proverbs.16:25.

 We need to surrender to God’s thoughts and put aside our minute thoughts. Though the Lord’s thoughts seem contrary to us and are not the norm we must obey them as they bring life. Isaiah.55:8 & 9. 

Just be smart and accept that the Holy Spirit’s counsel far exceeds what we know or could ever imagine.1 Corinthians.2:9-12. Then, heed and obey His voice for in His thoughts there is life and that more abundantly and great rewards. John.10:10. 

 So today take heart and have a new start. Give the Holy Spirit the benefit of the doubt and resist your thoughts and take His. Then watch and see just how much better and greater your days will be. 

It is a real joy to know that the Lord has a new starting point for us each day if we will just repent and accept His thoughts for us. Hebrews.3:15.

May you receive grace through these words to see this reality accomplished in your life today in Jesus Name.

 Remember you are loved with an everlasting love. Jeremiah.31:3  Amen.

The Holy Spirit wants you to know the truth that Jesus does not want you to suffer oppression, harm and hurt continuously. Acts.10:38. This is a life giving truth that will free you from the intimidation of the enemy.

He came in order that man should stop suffering the consequences of sin which is death. Hebrews.2:14-18.

He wants you to remember that Jesus was manifested to destroy the works of the devil. 1 John.3:8. 

You need to realise from every event where Jesus delivered a person in the bible suffering was removed and joy was restored back to the individual.

 From the Centurion’s servant, to the Woman with the issue of blood, to blind Bartemaeus, to the demonic man in Gadera and every other individual Jesus rescued they all had joy not suffering after Jesus stepped in.

 So today the Holy Spirit wants you to change your mind about what you think about Jesus concerning suffering and recognise that He took your suffering so that you might be free. 

Therefore because of what Jesus accomplished for us you don’t need to suffer but experience life and that in its fullest measure. John;10:10. The thief is the one who steals, kills and destroys. 

Jesus only gives life. Under no circumstances allow human opinion to rob you of the truth. 

Jesus always delivers from suffering that’s why He suffered so you don’t have to suffer anymore. Matthew.8:3. 

Receive this word and enter into the joy of your salvation then let pain and undue suffering leave you alone in Jesus Name. Amen. Blessings.

This morning in my communion time the Holy Spirit spoke of remembering to have a mindset of forgetting the things which are behind you. The actual aim is to press towards that which lies before you. Philippians.3:13.

Be courageous in heart as you have weeped enough over the attacks and seeming losses. You have cried too many tears and beaten yourself up long enough. 1 Samuel.30:4.

It’s now time to lay it down and move forward to the plan God has ahead of you. 1 Samuel.30:6.The prize God has for you is not behind you. It is ahead of you so you need to press towards that mark. Philippians.3:14.

 No goal behind you is worth crying over and pursuing, you must of necessity reach forward. Then press boldly towards what God created for you to accomplish for His name and glory. Ephesians.2:10.

Your past failure has not made His will to be accomplished in your life, so let it go quickly.  Now your goal must be to press forward in union with the Holy Spirit so that His awesome plan for you can be accomplished and your life goes on to glorify His name.

Let your legacy be that in the end the will of Jesus was fulfilled in your life and that His sacrifice for you was not in vain. 

So I beseech you today to lay down the past, divorce yourself from it. Then renew your Covenant with God and move forward into the greater glory He has planned for you.

 May the grace to do this be yours now in Jesus Name. Amen.

The Holy Spirit this morning as I ministered to the Lord in my communion time spoke that He wanted us to recall every word that He has spoken concerning our life’s that has not yet come to pass. It is clearly evident that He wants you to restart the process of bringing again to the forefront of your mind the promises that have eluded you. John.14:26.

To look at the things you have concluded in your mind will never happen for you again. The things you have placed firmly on the back burner of your life because of the trauma of unfulfilled promises.

The disappointment it has caused you for having believed, trusted and followed the word of the Lord which has resulted in failure. This deceitfulness of sin working against you has taken its toll on you and you feel unwilling to invest time in believing all over again. Hebrews.3:13.

Before I continue let me remind you of the enduring Character of the Person of the Holy Spirit that is requesting you to make this shift in your thinking. How great, powerful and capable He is to do the impossible and make it real in the now.

In John.14:25 & 26 we read these words “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Jesus was conscious of the fact that as time passes by we would forget many of the things God spoke to us because they never came to pass. He knew we might just forget them as various negative incidents in life happened which questioned their validity in our lives or satan manipulating things in our circumstances that made their reality look impossible.

Whichever of these situations made you lose consciousness of what the Lord has spoken, the Holy Spirit never forgets what Jesus promised us and will supernaturally bring it back to our remembrance when the time for manifestation comes round and believe me it surely will come and help position us to receive it.

In the prophecy that God gives to Zechariah in Zechariah.4:1 & 2 Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep. 2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” He had gone to sleep about what the Lord had said and literally forgot it. This was because the attack was so severe and they had been stopped by force of arms from continuing building.

The Lord brought it back to his mind so that His word could come to pass in this life and start afresh as a person awakened with fresh energy. This also goes on to happen for Zerrubabel who began rebuilding the Temple after, having ceased working on it for a time, but through this word was going to be stirred back to go and finish that work he started with shouts of grace, grace to it.

In this process of rebuilding all the necessary wisdom, ability and strength was added to empower them by the Holy Spirit to finish the God ordained plan.

Just look with renewed anticipation at Zechariah.4:5-10 and see how the Holy Spirit provides a new way to complete what had started and now stopped. Just look at the words He spoke to Zerubabel to stir him back to action. Zechariah.4:6 & 7.

So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.7 ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And He shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”

This same Person of the Holy Spirit who worked with Zerrubabel to bring down mountains to accomplish the will of God and complete a work that had been stopped by force of arms is now empowered to get back to action because the Holy Spirit brings back to remembrance the promised plan of God with a might and power which cannot be stopped because the word of the Lord remains eternally and cannot be thwarted, stopped or hindered. Job.42:2.

Well today it is the Same Holy Spirit who worked out the miraculous saying to me to you today to awaken from your sleep on the words He has spoken over you in the past. Go on boldly through His grace to posture yourself in word and deed to see the manifestation of the word of the Lord in your life.

Let the words of the Lord come flooding back alive in you creating new sparks of grace that drive through all obstacles to bring accomplishment and the fulfilment of God’s plan in your life.

Let this grace imparted by the Holy Spirit overtake you so that just as Zerubbabel experienced mountain moving ability to overcome every obstacle to finish the building he had started so you will find that level of grace and more to bring you through to the finish line of the words God spoke over your life so that the name of Jesus will be glorified in your life just as He said it will.

I pray that the grace of the Lord you experience in this miraculous working will remain as a hallmark and turning point in your life that you will always remember as you look back to laugh in the face of any new challenge that seeks to threaten you again.

All this because you are now fully persuaded about the outstanding ability of the Holy Spirit working in your life in Jesus name to conclude the work He started in you. Amen.

This morning in my communion time with the Holy Spirit I was reminded of the importance of us waiting daily at the doorway of wisdom for direction on how to correctly navigate our day and lay hold of every good thing the Lord has prepared for us to partake of. Ephesians.2:10.

In Proverbs.8:34 & 35 in the Passion Translation we read these life giving words of wisdom and instruction :If you wait at wisdom’s doorway, longing to hear a word for every day, joy will break forth within you as you listen for what I’ll say.35 For the fountain of life pours into you every time that you find me, and this is the secret of growing in the delight and the favor of the Lord.

I have found that the more translations of the Bible we look at the more accurate our understanding of the word becomes. This is because the understanding of God is predicated on the sum total of what each of us is able to glean combined together of the multifaceted wisdom of God. Always remember this truth or you will continually come short of the fullness of God.

The Holy Spirit went on to stress the fact of us being willing to come to Him with an open mind each morning for the relevant instruction and pathway for the day ahead of time. This revelation from foreknowledge is absolutely vital because He knows the path that will give us triumph. He also knows what things are necessary to avoid that cause heartache, pain and guides us in paths of pleasantness and peace. Proverbs.3:17.

It is more important the Holy Spirit said to stand at the doorway waiting for the wisdom of God which is worth far more than having huge amounts of gold to buy whatever we want or desire, so let that be your daily pursuit.

As we long for what the Lord has to say through the Holy Spirit and desire it with all our hearts we are set to be strengthened as the joy of the Lord will break forth on our behalf. Psalm.143:6. Psalm.42:1.

This means we cannot but win in every event that can possibly show up as fountains of life are poured out into us as we find the Lord’s leading and walk in obedience to His way forward for us.

These ingredients of longing, desiring and waiting on the Lord will guarantee our growth in the understanding of the ways of God and bring delight to our souls as the favour of the Lord manifests through our lives for the glory of His awesome name.

This is always the winning position and we need to build this discipline into our lives if we are going to experience all the Father has for us. We cannot afford to compromise on this daily pursuit but must at all costs do them faithfully the Holy Spirit pointed out just as Jesus did. Luke.5:16.

My prayer for you today is that as you hear these words grace will be imparted to you through them to take the necessary action to come to the doorway of wisdom each morning and await the words of direction from the Lord.

This will ensure that the determined God breathed outcomes of triumph and a demonstration of the Holy Spirit and power through your lives.

This occurring through the accompanying signs, wonders and miracles that will manifest through you by the Holy Spirit to glorify Jesus and establish His Kingdom on the earth for His glory in Jesus name. Amen

Let this practice become your daily routine and watch how productive and fruitful your life events will become as the Holy Spirit guides you into all truth in Jesus name. Amen.

Each morning as I get up and have communion time with the Holy Spirit I am always awed by the considerable level of insight, understanding and life that the Holy Spirit possesses. It is so beautiful because I can just open myself completely to what He has in store for the day.

I pray today that you will find the grace to give the Holy Spirit the inception of your day and allow Him to set the tone of your productivity and fruitfulness for each day going forward so you will experience all the fullness of God in your lives in Jesus name. Ephesians.3:19.

The Holy Spirit this morning wants you to know that He is not relying on you to do or be anything for God, but for you to completely depend upon Him to empower you to be what God created you to be. 1 Peter.1:2. The Holy Spirit wants you to look to Him for the boldness you need to be effective for the Kingdom.

Even if you believe you are eloquent. The reality is clear: your eloquence will not be able to cut it in the Kingdom. You will need more than eloquence of speech to defeat the works of the devil. 1 Corinthians.2:1 & 2.

In the book of Acts.4:29 we read these words: Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”

Think on this after such a ferocious attack of the devil to force the Apostles to stop speaking in the name of Jesus. What we see them doing is praying a prayer that must be emulated as our daily cry before the Lord. “We need to be able to speak with all the boldness that flows from the Holy Spirit to us the word of the Lord.

I realized this reality years ago :“It is one thing to speak the word with your voice but a completely different matter when you speak that same word by the unction of the Holy Spirit which will produce life in the darkest and most death-filled environment.”

“Words spoken by the Holy Spirit will always radiate light and bring forth life into any darkness and change chaos bringing forth order and Divine Design.”

Let’s look again carefully at the request of the Apostles and watch for the Answer the Holy Spirit gives because this is what we need to be looking for in our lives on a daily basis. Grant that your servants may speak your word with all boldness. Not with some measure of boldness or timidity or trepidation but with all boldness. Complete boldness which is what Jesus spoke with.

“We should not speak for the Lord coming short in any boldness that the Holy Spirit possesses, but loaded with all the boldness that He possesses and carries which will bring answers of great magnitude.”

“The boldness of speech, believe me, has a direct correlation to the stretching out of the hand of God to heal resulting in the production of signs and wonders to be done through the hand of the Holy Spirit for the glory of the name of Jesus.”

Without the boldness of speech flowing from the Holy Spirit through you you will not see the miraculous power of God made manifest to heal, deliver and bring freedom. “It is imperative that we request from the Lord through the Holy Spirit for the boldness to speak the word and then we will see the manifestation of the hand of the Lord.” It is not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord. Ephesians.6:20.

“Our shouting loud will not cut through the enemy but being loaded with the boldness of the Holy Spirit will break through any and every demonic obstacle.”

I am always looking at the results when prayer has been offered because Jesus said we should ask and receive so our joy might be full. So let’s see what happens from this prayer for boldness.

In Acts.4:31 we read these words: And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness. What a remarkable turn of events.

Unlike today most times in church we see the people do all the shaking and activity but here we see the Holy Spirit shaking the place as the boldness overtakes the people and the results are stunning as the word is spoken boldly.

Acts.4:32-37 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.

34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold, 35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.36 And Joses, who was also named Barnabas by the apostles (which is translated Son of Encouragement), a Levite of the country of Cyprus, 37 having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

Firstly the agreement we see in the disciples is breathtakingly awesome and we have not seen that level of union in our day where we have every soul present having the same heart and soul. Such a willingness of heart to the point of relinquishing their ownership of possessions for the common good of all.

Then the Apostles go on to manifest the tangible presence of the resurrection power of Jesus that people see visibly as great grace is imparted to people that removes poverty. All lack in the life of every believer is removed as resources from owners of lands and property were sold to remove the burden of lack on their brothers and sisters as everybody’s needs were met.

Life changed in an instance as all disciples’ financial problems were sorted out and no one was in any lack. All boasting of their personal wealth and how good God was to only them vanished as the Holy Spirit manifested the true Kingdom of Jesus. There was corporate deliverance.

“I pray that we see it again in our day as the Holy Spirit is granted permission by us to do such marvels as we boldly declare the word of God. Thus allowing the Hand of the Lord to manifest again as He did then.”

I pray that as you hear these words today the Holy Spirit will ignite in you a fresh fire with a burning passion to pursue after this grace which will bring a fresh awakening to the God of boldness that speaks boldly through us. Then let us go on to manifest Him in such multiple dimensions of glory that all have to say the Lord has visited His people.

“ We are now living in the days of the Lord in full manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit.”

May you be found passionately pursuing this reality of the Holy Spirit in this hour in Jesus name. Amen.

This morning as I woke up the Holy Spirit jump started my day with a word concerning immediately which happened many times in incidents of healing that happened in the ministry of Jesus. So as I got out of bed I immediately went to look up the scriptures as I proceeded with my communion time with the Holy Spirit to get a fuller picture and understanding of what the Lord had planned for my day.

So let’s dive into the scriptures and enjoy and experience what the Holy Spirit has available for today. In Mark.9:23 & 24 we read these words: 23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Now just look how quickly a horrible situation changed as Jesus gave a command which required obedience. This is the most important thing we must be willing to do when Jesus gives us a word. Obey immediately because His words have all authority supporting them and can and will change anything no matter what is physically present.

In the passage I first looked at the Holy Spirit alluded to the fact that though the man was in a position of doubt. Jesus immediately gave him a word of encouragement and help which if obeyed would change his outcome and cause him to go home with a miraculous story.

Jesus said to him change your mindset from questioning God’s ability and look at what is stopping you from getting what you came and requested from Jesus. This the Holy Spirit pointed out clearly is the human struggle because it is always easier to criticise others rather than take responsibility for our doubt and unbelief.

We always claim we believe until we have to take the step that proves we really actually believe which is what happened with this man. Jesus always brings us to the point of dealing with our true heart position of belief so we can get the answer we need from God.

Notice what Jesus said to him if you can believe nothing will be impossible to you. However you need to make that heart change before you can actually get the miracle you are requesting.

You will clearly see how this impacted the man as the truth was revealed to him. Immediately his confession changed as he realized he had a part to play in this miracle he was requesting from Jesus. He cried out I believe in order to shut out the doubt that was working to stop him benefitting from the anointing that was on Jesus.

His second statement makes that so real help my unbelief because it was rising faster in him than his believing what Jesus just spoke to him. The Holy Spirit emphasized that this is the reality with us which we need to fight against if we are going to lay hold of the miracles God has in store for us.

On this occasion Jesus helped him as He went on to act on the word of the man saying I believe. Never be afraid to ask the Lord to help you when you are struggling with believing because He will help your weaknesses.

Don’t act out of bravado thinking your belief is great but correctly discern your weakness and cast it on the Lord. Remember Peter on the water. He cried out as he doubted the Lord: save me and Jesus picked him up. Matthew.14:29-31.

30 But when he saw [e]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?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

You will again notice the immediate response of Jesus to pick him up with the reality check to Peter of why did you allow doubt to influence the word of command I had given you to come to me. Again you will notice the immediate change that happens when Jesus comes on the scene.

This is the reality the Holy Spirit was pointing out to me this morning that we need to fully embrace our daily walk with the Lord to ensure we never miss out on His plan because we doubt His ability to come through for us.

I think for good measure I will add in another one of the scriptures the Holy Spirit gave me this morning to solidify this true reality in your lives of the immediate change that happens when we just instantly obey the command of the Lord.

In Mark.5:27-31 we read these words : When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. 28 For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”29 Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction. 30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?”

In this instance with this lady she had been saying if I touch His garment I will be made well and again immediately she touched Jesus her issue of Blood dried up. Her belief in Jesus was confirmed by her saying continuously if I just touch the hem of his garment I will be whole. The instant she touched Him immediately her healing happened.

Just see the importance of her confession working for her because although thousands were touching Jesus they got nothing because they were touching Him physically with no faith.

Always remember the Holy Spirit said without faith it is impossible to please God. Hebrews.11:6. Her confession of true heart faith impressed Jesus and He called her daughter meaning He knew she was born of God and possessed the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. 1 John.5:4 & 5.

To conclude you can see what Jesus put value on their faith and complimented the woman with the issue of blood and allowed her to tell her story to the multitude because she was just explaining all Jesus had been teaching concerning the Kingdom of God.

She was a demonstration of the Kingdom at work which Jesus loved. Mark.5:34 “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.” versus Peter who He asked, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

We as followers and lovers of Jesus need to make sure we are adding faith to all Jesus is speaking to us the Holy Spirit said so we don’t allow outsiders to come and take our place because they respond to Jesus with faith and trust in His word.

We never want to fall prey to the words Jesus spoke in Matthew.8:11 & 12. And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness.

So allow these words with the grace supplied through them to empower you to make the adjustments necessary so that you will begin to walk in the immediate change of circumstances which operated in the ministry of Jesus in your life now to glorify Jesus our King.
