Holy Spirit, Human Spirit And Soul

God is Spirit and He created man in His own image, a spirit being. However through the Fall man lost his ability to commune with God and so created god in his own image. This longing for God is there in all creation. Many are unaware that this hole in their being is due to a loss of connection with God. Therefore man is in search for an answer and God provided the answer. His answer is found in Jesus. Connection with Father God is restored through Jesus. The Holy Spirit was sent to inhabit the spirit of man. The spirit of man was reborn through the new birth in Christ. 

Spirit of man

The spirit of man although born again still is limited in our body. It is affected by the body and the soul. The soul of man is the conscious part of man that thinks, feels and wills to do. Most of the time we operate in our soul. Our soul is limited in its capacity to know God because it lives in our body. It is only through our spirit that we are able to connect with God who is spirit. Now we have the Holy Spirit to help us in our communion with God. We can now operate in our human spirit or the Holy Spirit. Our spirit can lead us or the Holy Spirit. The same Holy Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in us. This is a profound revelation. Now we can be led by the Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit

Being led by the Holy Spirit is to walk like Jesus did. He only did what He saw and heard His Father doing. We too can be led by the Holy Spirit as He reveals His mind to us. Once we know the voice of God we will look to be led by Him. This is to live an abundant life here on earth in the Holy Spirit. No circumstance or restriction can rob us of the joy of this communion. We live in habitation and in this place nothing can take us away from Him. We live under the shelter of His wings. Let us be led by the Holy Spirit today and be united in bringing heaven to earth.

Heavenly Transference

We pray "Your will be done as it is in heaven". Do we really understand what this means? To pray His will be done on earth is to bring heaven down to earth. This is to build His Kingdom down here on earth. Is this even possible in a fallen world? Will the god of this world allow it? This is the war we are in down here as we implement His Kingdom values and will down here. There will be resistance but we have been given the authority to bind and to lose, to permit and refuse permission. When we do this we will see a shift in the atmosphere around us. God's glory will descend and all evil will be pushed back. The earth will rejoice  and all creation will benefit from His tangible presence. Jesus brought heaven down to earth when He descended from heaven. He brought healing, deliverance and light. We are called to do the same.

Total Submission

We must submit all to God and resist the devil. Total submission to God will push the forces of evil back. The devil cannot fight God and win. He thought he had won when they crucified Jesus. The devil suffered a death blow at the Cross. He was completely defeated when Jesus rose from the dead. Now we have to implement  the finished work of Jesus on the Cross. When we do this as a church we will move heaven to earth. One can do much but two can do more. Let us unite under the banner of Jesus and shift the atmosphere in our town, city and nation. This is possible when we believe and do what He says. The shift first happens in the spiritual realm and then in the earthly realm. God is waiting for His people to trust His word and obey.

Heavenly Invasion

I believe faith is rising in the nations and many are witnessing a fresh move of God. We must jump in and join the flow and see nations changed. Many are having heavenly visitations of angels and miraculous signs evidenced. These are all signs of His preparation of the church for the final return of the King. Let us not be weary but awake and hot for His return in glory.

Do Not Personalise Your Negative Thoughts

Thoughts come to you from various sources. They can come from within you or outside you. From outside they could be from the world, devil or God. Your senses can also lead to you having thoughts and so do your feelings. We need therefore to discern the source of our thoughts. When we are unaware of the source, we  will tend to personalise our thoughts. To personalise is to take  personal responsibility for those thoughts. When one does this guilt usually is the consequence of negative thoughts. This then becomes a cycle of negative thoughts, negative feelings and negative behaviours. Many are bound in this cycle and react in unhealthy ways. To make it worse any influence of drugs or alcohol will push one to suicide. This is the ultimate strategy of the devil to steal, kill and destroy.

Strategy

Always ask yourself what is the source of these thoughts. If they are from any source other than God, reject them immediately. This will then start you on the process of deliverance. Deliverance is not just to do with demons although demonic attachments can occur through negative thoughts. Anything negative is not from God. Feelings of pride, jealousy and envy are not of God. Negative behaviours are not of God although one can justify anger as being righteous. One can be assertive but not aggressive. This is the way to transform your mind. This is a process and it takes daily action to be transformed through the renewal of our mind. There is no easy path to sanctification but through this process of repentance, forgiveness and transformation. A caterpillar will have to shed its old skin before it can be a butterfly.

Solution

God has given us all the resources we need to be transformed. He has given us His own Holy Spirit to help us. He knew our helpless state and so planned to inhabit us through His Spirit. We now can depend on Him as our Counsellor and Guide to lead us on our way to freedom from negative thoughts and intents. Many mental health disorders begin with the entertainment of negative thoughts. Be set free from negative thoughts today and be led by the Holy Spirit.

In The Holy Spirit We Can Overcome All Things

God has given us His own Spirit so that we can live in His power than in ours. We can strive to be holy till we die or we can rest in His power. This is the difference between law and grace. One is a taskmaster and the other is the law of love. God so loved the world and He continues to do so especially for His elect. He has given us all the power we need to overcome. We live in a broken world and face many challenges. However we do not need to live below it but above it. We are seated in heavenly places with Christ. This is a mystery but this is the difference between living in the Holy Spirit and in our flesh.

Flesh

In our flesh we will continue to strive to be good enough. We are saved but we continue to walk according to our flesh. How can two work together if they are opposed? The Spirit is opposed to the flesh and the flesh is opposed to the Spirit. We therefore have to choose to live in the Spirit daily and walk by the Spirit. This is the only way to overcome the world and the flesh. God has made a way of escape and we have to choose His way. This comes down to our will. Will we surrender our will to His will? We do not have to seek to now His will because His will lives in us. 

Spirit

How marvellous it is to know that God has made a way of escape for us. Everything was planned before we were born. We think we know it all but till we come to the place of knowing nothing but God, we are still striving in our own strength. God has made it so easy for us to follow Him yet we make it difficult. His resurrection power is in us. What more power do we need to be over comers? Nothing but the blood of Jesus can save us.

I Believe 2023 Will Be A Glorious Year

I believe 2023 will be a glorious year. What does this mean? I am sure we have heard this spoken every year and nothing much has changed. Yet God's now word is true. He speaks His word and it will come to pass. Will we believe this? Many times we hear God's word but fail to believe it and so lose it. God's word must be believed and claimed. This is the difference between the talk and the walk. If I believe I must act on it. If I believe it will rain then I must go out with an umbrella. Noah believed and built the ark and was seen as a fool. Many step out in faith believing and see the results of their faith. The 5 virgins were prepared and went into the room. We must do the same.

Holy Spirit

I believe the Holy Spirit is moving around the world in ways never seen before. I hear reports from India and Iran of the move of God never heard of before. In my own spirit I feel an awakening that I have never experienced before. I am experiencing the release of gifts and answers to prayers at a speed never experienced before. Healing and deliverance and other manifestations of the Spirit are happening. So much more is to come as God moves in the hearts of people and the people respond in faith. Financial breakthrough and deliverance are two recent stories I have heard. I was healed of a stomach ailment after nine months of travail.

Miracles

Each miracle builds on the other. Faith grows and we enter the realm of the impossible. Words are spoken out in faith and are performed in the present. What a time we live in. It is as if we are entering into the days of Noah and there is no turning back. Evil is rising but so is the glory of God. As the darkness deepens the light gets brighter. I look forward to a glorious 2023 and I hope you do too.
