For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:14.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלוהים) says:
I so loved the world that I gave you My only begotten Son so that all who believe in Him shall not perish but shall have eternal life. He came to seek out and save the lost. Salvation is a wondrous thing, but My love did not end there. He did not leave you orphans.
Jesus is My gift to you, but He came to bring you an even greater gift who is also a giver of even more gifts. Jesus told you He is the door, and once you come through that door, that door opens every door of My Kingdom benefits. That door opens to you the path of life and takes you into the Holy of Holies, right into My presence.
It is one thing to come down and save someone—to do what seems to be an impossible rescue mission, and then depart to leave the rescued one on his own path. It is another thing to not only come in and rescue someone from certain death, but then to give them yourself and all that is yours as theirs forever. That is not just a one-time visitation, that is an eternal commitment. It is one thing to help someone to a better life, it is another thing to give them yourself.
I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. John 14:16-17.
“Another” means just like the first. The Holy Spirit is just like Jesus and is with and in every born-again believer. Jesus did not leave you orphans but came back to you with the Holy Spirit and power. The Holy Spirit is My gift to you through the gift of Jesus and the Holy Spirit gives you gifts as well for the profit of all.
And the Holy Spirit leads you.
For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:14.
But in a very particular way. It is by the inner witness. It is by the anointing. He teaches you all things, reminds you of all I have said, leads you, guides to all truth, and tells you of the things to come. This gives you a very great advantage. You have My Spirit in you, and He shares My deepest thoughts with you. He is the revealer of mysteries.
For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God. 1 Corinthians 2:10-11.
And you access Me by the Spirit. In hearing Him you hear Me and in hearing Him you hear Jesus. On the night He was betrayed, Jesus explained how the Holy Spirit would continue the ministry of Jesus on the earth when Jesus returned to Me in the place where Jesus had left off while on earth.
“I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you. John 16:13-15.
This gift is so wonderful and advantageous to you that My Son told His disciples, who were overcome with grief at the thought of Him leaving them and returning to Me, that it was better for them to have Him depart to return to Me because otherwise He could not send them the gift of the Holy Spirit.
“But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.” John 16:5-7.
And yet when He was with them, they had help and success wherever they went with Him. When they were in the boat and the storm came, they would have perished if they had not had Him in the boat, if Jesus had not grabbed him by the hand and raised him out, Peter would have sank down and downed when he tried to join Jesus walking on the water, when they could not cast the demon out of the boy rolling on the ground and foaming at the mouth, Jesus came and did it—but what did Jesus say to them all those times He bailed them out and made the impossible happen? Where is your faith? In other words, why did you not do it?
But once they got the Holy Spirit in them and on them, they did the works Jesus did and greater in His Name. How? He had given them the power that empowered Him. He had given them the divine genius, the wonderful counselor, the one just like Him. They could each draw upon the source within them as partakers of the divine nature.
Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus. And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply. Acts 4:13-14.
They had the advantage for on them and in them was the great Counselor who gave them words and wisdom that no one could take exception to or contradict. Deep within their born-again spirits they had the answers.
And as they went forth as witnesses to the good news of Jesus, those they imparted the Word and the Spirit began to do the same.
They and everyone that heard their words and received them were on a new path. The path of life.
But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here too.” Acts 17:6.
When you have the Word and the Spirit you too can turn the world upside down, or rather, right side up.
And that is the power combination you see from the very beginning. The Word alone does not manifest in completeness without the Spirit. It is My divine pattern of the Word and the Spirit working together to make the whole. And Jesus is the Word made flesh and He did no miracles until He was filled with the Holy Spirit.
In the beginning as My Spirit hovered over the void and empty darkness, I said the Word, “Light be” and the Spirit performed the Word. I watch over My Word to perform it. How? By My Spirit. I send forth My Spirit and they are created and I renew the face of the earth. Same as in the beginning. And that is why I put My Words in your mouth and My Spirit on you so that you speak My Words into your life and into the earth and the Spirit performs them. Not by your human power, might, and intellect, but by My Spirit the Word is performed but it gives My power and wisdom and might to your humanity. A treasure in earthen vessels for works of highest excellence and honor.
When I sent the angel Gabriel to Mary, he brought her the Word. But when she asked him how the impossible scenario he gave her could be, he told her the Holy Spirit would overshadow her and the Word would come to pass. And she received that Word and agreed with it. The plan was there and the Spirit was there but it needed one more ingredient to manifest—she had to receive the Word and agree to it. “Behold, the handmaid of the LORD, be it done unto me according to your Word.” She conceived because she believed and received the Word. Once she spoke it the Spirit performed it.
Faith is giving Me permission to perform the great plans I have for you in your life. Be it done to me according to your Word is probably the wisest things you can say each day.
So far you see My pattern of working by the Word and the Spirit in creation of the world and mankind, I even breathed My Spirit into he first man and woman. And then you see when Jesus became flesh it was the Word and the Spirit over Mary. And then at the birth of the Church on Pentecost, the same again, the Holy Spirit manifested and released words but the Word had been said first. Peter confirmed that. Years before it manifested by the Spirit, My prophet Joel had set it in motion by My Words that were given him to speak into the earth so at the proper time My Spirit could perform them, and so is true of all prophecy, it will not delay to be right at the moment for which it was to be released.
But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them: “Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words. For hese men are not drunk, as you suppose, for I t is only the [p]third hour of the day; but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel: ‘And it shall be in the last days,’ God says, ‘That I will pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; Even on My bondslaves, both men and women, I will in those days pour forth of My Spirit and they shall prophesy.” Acts 2:14-18.
My Spirit will show you things for you to speak so He can perform them. He shows you things ahead of time so you can speak them into the earth and He can perform them.
In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:26-28.
Those who are led by My Spirit are My children. And that is a promise I make to those who have received Jesus as Lord, My Spirit will lead you. I am committed to leading you and finishing the good work of your salvation that I have begun in you. But you must renew your mind and become skillful at releasing My Word so My Spirit can perform it. You must, however, not be living in just your human intellect and reason, you must be drawing down into your spirit to drink deeply of the Holy Spirit in you. With joy you will draw water from the springs of salvation within you. So that I become your strength and your song.
The Holy Spirit shows you things to come and prepares you ahead of time by what to say and what to do. These are what the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit that are bestowed on each for the profit of all the Body of Christ, the Church, are about as well.
You must learn how to listen in your spirit at every moment to draw out the answers that I have given you in the Spirit in you. To not live only in head knowledge, you have not got enough knowledge for every situation, go deeper.
Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude. Colossians 2:6-7.
Walk in the Spirit and make no provision for the flesh. Let your spirit tell your flesh what to do and not vice versa. Live in the power of the Holy Spirit.
My servant Paul prayed for you that you would. Agree with him.
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom the whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21.
I love you. Get full of the Holy Spirit and prophesy! It will take you along the path of life in an accelerated path. He will lead you and so much more.
