God longs to commune with us and show us things to come, but do we want to hear Him? Of course, we say. But can we endure the truth of His words, receive His messenger with a form and operation different from our anticipation, and honour what He honours? In Jesus Christ of Nazareth we find the messiah and soon coming King, and in the Scriptures we find the mind of God, in the person of the Holy Spirit we see God presently at work with us now. Well there is a better way, the way of the cross, God working in Christ wishes us well, body soul and spirit, but learning to find out His purpose and yielding to Him is a good way to progress in your spiritual journey. And knowing God will always commend the righteous by faith, and uphold them in times of need. This is to say God means well for you beyond your expectations. God bless. Cheers.

Philippians 4:6-7

“

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

The ministry of the word prospers wherever it is sent. The body may not move but if the word is sent from the body of that regenerated soul in Christ, it operates to mightily bring spiritual succour, to where it is openly received. Where a word is spoken without the Spirit it is void and ineffectual to bring spiritual transformation, whether that word spoken appears to meet the grand standing of intellectualism, or not- it matters nothing. A word from God is one with the Spirit’s intent, and indivisible, for God’s Word itself is spiritual and breathes truth. A worthy prayer, is Lord I receive your word from heaven, cleanse me by your Spirit, heal me by your Spirit, strengthen me by your word-my meat, and were word has been spoken in contravention to your word let it cease. May your word proceed as from an undefiled altar and let purifying fire come down from heaven, so our praise will be acceptable. A word not aided by the Spirit is never from God. It’s a word from God we need for the hour. Praise be to God, glory to His Holy name. God bless.

Luke 4:18-21

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”

To encounter God you must not invent gesticulations or whip up convulsions, you only need to be still but do what He says, God could prove Himself in any circumstances. Perhaps, the less of us the less interference to His glory. God could move in our calmness or exuberance, Christ then must take centre stage as He pleases, and we must be reminded He moved for His praise and glory alone. My prayer is may God take control continually. That the excellency may be of Him not us. I said that, to say this, I know nothing except that which the Holy Spirit reveals, and not on anytime according to my choosing but as He wills – I say this to continually point you to Christ, and His words in the holy writ. So often we’re humbled by the grace of God as He speaks, but know this it is so our confidence is in Him not us. I believe God wants us to all, as the body of Christ, come to maturity so we discern what God is saying for the hour. He will help us, as we yield to Him. God’s Word will clean us as with washing of water the deep recesses of our hearts from impurities, prune us for we are connected to Him, build us in faith and set us on fire for His glory. God is saying wholesome words to you, can you perceive it? In Jesus name, receive the implanted word and live. Praise the Lord. God bless.

John 14:10-

” Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I speak are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me.”

Thanks be to God, for if without Christ, it’s your own ‘victory’ in the flesh to achieve sinful goals by deception, God desires no acknowledgment nor will He compel any against their will, and there is no glory in the end. And soon you may conclude if it could always work this way then God is in it. If you want the path of truth, soundness of mind, God-inspired victory, faith against the odds, perseverance, hope and love, you will find it in Christ. Like the saints we read of in Scripture, who journeyed in often a perilous road focusing on the crown ahead- understanding it’s not only about beginning perfectly in His will but finishing strong according to His plan. Beyond excuses, knowing the God of heaven does no wrong, and that it is in Him our faith is perfected. The wind of the Spirit may take us in a different direction, but for today this is the emphasis I hear. God bless. Praise God. Cheers.

Isaiah 1:9-

“If the Lord of the Heavenly Armies hadn’t left us a few survivors, we would be like Sodom; we would be like Gomorrah.”

When God makes a promise He keeps it. He has promised to take you to the ‘other side’, a place of freedom, fulfilled potentials, spiritual worship and truth, supernatural deliverances and provision, healing and all the manifest blessings of God. Guess what? He intends to keep it. However, to get there you must have the right kind of Spirit. A heart that believes what God can do. Not a double mind, a singleness of mind that believes God can make true His word. As He wills. It’s that attitude that was in Caleb, that spirit of obedience and trust, the Spirit of faith. There are those who have seen God and still do not believe, tasted the joy of the miraculous yet are doubtful of God’s abilities, perhaps because He cannot be cajoled from His timing, these cannot enter the blessing coming. This is the time to pray Lord help me trust you more and more – in fact, I invite you to a deeper dimension to say, where else can we go but to you sovereign Lord! For the Spirit of God in you glorifies Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world. To Him be all glory and honour. Amen. God bless.

Numbers 14:24-

“Now as to my servant Caleb, because a different spirit is within him and he has remained true to me, I’m going to bring him into the land that he explored, and his descendants are to inherit it.”

If there is anything God will show you more this season, it’s your safety ultimately is in Christ. My hope is we are not hard of hearing, relearning in several ways the same message. While we do the best we can in practical ways, this generation however must learn to pause and say- God, you are Lord, my safe refuge. The arm and arms of flesh avails nothing, it’s the arm of God you need. Praise be to God. Cheers.

1 Peter 3:12 –

“The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right, and his ears are open to their prayers. But the Lord turns his face against those who do evil.”

God is more willing to release the Holy Spirit than we can be ever willing to receive. He understands as a heavenly Father it is for our good, to be effective spiritual soldiers in carrying out His mandate as believers of Christ. There is none who asks in faith, who demonstrates a willingness to receive, that will be turned down. I tell you, they will be endued to the brim and overflowing, baptised with holy fire from on high as the saints gathered in the upper room at Pentecost. He is the ‘promise of the Father’, ‘the Spirit from on high’ meant for you and your children. Glory to God. God bless.

Luke 11:9-10 (Acts 2:1-4; Matthew 3:11)

“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”

I’m always excited to perceive the move of the Spirit, but to each generation is the responsibility to receive it. Recognising the finger of God in the clouds or on the wall in response to prayer, is an assurance you will see the move of God’s hand- do not resist it. God’s stick this time is love bent and driven by the wind of the Spirit. There is the example of Zacharias and Elijah. It’s worth giving thanks for to see the pointing of Christ’s hand of love, so hear and live. Again I say to you by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that a hallmark of maturity is being tolerant of christian values and rejoicing in the grace of God revealed and evident in others. You can by the transformative grace of Christ. Do you receive this?- God loves you. I pray as we lift our hearts in surrender and worship, the precious presence of the Holy Spirit will sanctify and do a great work like never before. Don’t worry about nothing or vain schemes, you can’t cheat God of His glory in the long run, His reward for the just by faith is set before the foundation of the world. So be free, let’s jump for joy, God has come to help us, to quicken hearts! I ask again, will you receive this? Do you see? We are in the days spoken of. This is a sound but abundance will come, if you begin to run with the sound the rain of abundance will overtake you. In truth, you can step into it now if prepared. For some of us, He defines our essence already. Glory to God. God bless, cheers.

Luke 1:39-43

“In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”

Christ gives the Holy Spirit to us who believe to empower our Christian worship. He is your divine strength beyond imagination and your assurance [seal] of redemption. To have the Spirit of Christ is to belong to Him. Christ power is evident in our lives as we submit to His leadership. Such a priviledge to believe and yield to the leading of the Spirit. Let us praise and trust in Him. God bless.

Acts 1:8; Romans 8:9-10.

The Spirit of God is not for ‘psychic’ exercises. It’s about relationship with God for those who believe in Christ, my father, your father. It’s not for communing with spirits of the dead or merely predicting fate. It’s meeting with the person of the Holy Spirit, submitting to His leadership in your personal life, and trusting Jehovah (God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) the source of all goodness and knowledge to guide your path in this life and that to come. It’s relationship than a tool. And I must add, according to God’s will and power He will make known to you deep secrets that will profit you and make for a healthy soul if you listen, but from a place of love. This truly is to your benefit if of divine relationship with Christ. I hope this points your heart in the right direction, to truly seek after God not tilter at the edges. Blessed? Thanks be to God. Cheers.

John 15:26 – “But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.”
