  • CHECK IF YOU QUALIFY TO BE LED (6): DO YOU HAVE PRECONCEIVED OPTIONS?

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday DECEMBER 13, 2023

    CHECK IF YOU QUALIFY TO BE LED (6): DO YOU HAVE PRECONCEIVED OPTIONS?

    Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
    Ezekiel 14:3 (KJV)

    Ezekiel 14:4 says, ‘Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Yahweh; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the Lord will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;’ Yahweh is saying that don’t come to seek for my direction if you already have option in your heart. You have decided what to do then you come to the Lord and say “Lord, what do you want me to do about so so and so?” Meanwhile, you have already made up your mind on what you are doing. That attitude blocks you from ever accessing divine direction. You must come to the Lord with open mind like a baby who truly does not know what to do concerning the area you are seeking direction from Yahweh. Yahweh says, if you have your preconceived ways and you come to make a fool of Yahweh, then He will make a fool of you. He will answer you according to your heart. You know what that means? He will okay whatever you have made up your mind to do even if it will take your life, He would not disturb you. He is answering you according to your heart.

    You must understand that Yahweh sees what is going on in your heart. He is hearing what you are saying but He is also seeing what is going on in your heart. You are saying one thing but another thing is in your heart. “Let me just finish this prayer, I know what I am going to do”. Yahweh is also watching you and saying, “You can just go and do that thing in your heart because I am not going to say anything to you, it would be a complete waste of time.” A couple of men came to prophet Jeremiah and asked him to inquire of the Lord Yahweh for them whether they should go down to Egypt or stay in the land of Israel at a time when the person the king of Babylon placed on the throne was murdered with Chaldean soldiers. So the men sent Prophet Jeremiah to inquire of the Lord for them, they said “That the Lord thy Yahweh may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.” (see Jeremiah 42:3) The Prophet obliged them and took their matter to Yahweh. When Yahweh told them through Prophet Jeremiah what to do, because they already had options, they rebelled (see Jeremiah 43:1-7).

    Having already determined what you want to do in any issue, don’t bother to ask Yahweh because He would answer you according to your heart and it may not be the best for you. So always come before Yahweh bare as someone that truly wants to know what to do and when you have that witness in your spirit, you go ahead and hearken to the instruction. That is the way to go. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Always come with a true heart before Yahweh not having any alternative at all.

    CONFESSION: I am always your baby my Lord and King. I don’t know what to do and where to go. I totally depend on you to lead me to the green pastures of life. I shall not miss you because you are committed to leading me. Glory to Your Holy Name!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: That thing in you that makes you feel that you are sufficient on your own ability without Yahweh is cursed today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen.

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (9): THE INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday November 29, 2023

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (9): THE INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES

    … to another the interpretation of tongues:
    I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

    The interpretation of tongues is the supernatural showing forth by the Spirit the meaning of an utterance in other tongues. Also, it is not translation of tongues; it is the interpretation of tongues. The gift of interpretation of tongues is the least gift of all of the gifts of the Spirit because it depends upon another gift — divers kinds of tongues — in order to operate. It does not operate unless tongues have been in operation. The purpose of the gift of interpretation of tongues is to render the gift of tongues understandable to the hearers so that the whole church congregation, as well as the one who gave the utterance in an unknown tongue, may know what has been said and may be edified thereby. Paul said, “. . . greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, THAT THE CHURCH MAY RECEIVE EDIFYING” (1 Cor. 14:5). But can’t Yahweh speak to us in some other way in the public assembly? Yes, He can and does. We have other public messages given by the Spirit of Yahweh that are not interpretation of tongues; they are a manifestation of the gift of prophecy. For example, psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs are also given by the Holy Spirit through the gift of prophecy.

    In private prayer it is not necessary that everything we utter in other tongues be clear to our understanding, because Paul said, “For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful” (1 Cor. 14:14). Therefore, it isn’t necessary that everything I pray in tongues be clear to my understanding or be interpreted because I am not talking to myself, I am talking to Yahweh. What I pray in tongues is clear to Yahweh and that is sufficient: “For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, BUT UNTO GOD: for no man understandeth him; how-beit in the spirit HE SPEAKETH MYSTERIES” (1Cor. 14:2). Yet on some occasions Yahweh may desire that we interpret our prayers. Paul suggests this in First Corinthians 14:13: “Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.” There may be times, if it is as the Spirit of Yahweh wills, that we know what we are praying about in tongues in our personal devotions, and Yahweh will give us the interpretation.

    1 CORINTHIANS 14:27 says, ‘If any man speak in an unknown tongue, LET IT BE BY TWO, OR AT THE MOST BY THREE, and that by course; and LET ONE INTERPRET’. In ministering publicly in tongues in any one service, Paul is saying here that it should be done by two or at the most by three people. In other words, only two or three people at the most should participate. Selah!

    REMEMBER: The gift of interpretation of tongues is supernatural interpretation of what was spoken in the manifestation of the diverse kinds of tongues.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: As this month is ending tomorrow your supernatural status just escalates to higher dimensions. No carry-over of November blessings in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (8): DIVERSE KINDS OF TONGUES

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday November 28, 2023

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (8): DIVERSE KINDS OF TONGUES

    … to another divers kinds of tongues? …
    I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

    The word “divers” in First Corinthians 12:10 is italicized, which means that it was added by the translator. Actually, this verse reads, “… to another, kinds of tongues. . . .” However, in another scripture, Paul said that God set in the Church diversities of tongues (1 Cor. 12:28); therefore, we would not be out of line scripturally to say “divers” kinds of tongues, or different kinds of tongues. This utterance gift of tongues is an important gift in that tongues is the door into the supernatural. This doesn’t necessarily mean the gift of tongues is the best gift, for as we indicated previously, the best gift is the gift needed at the moment. The Gift of Tongues Is a Supernatural Sign. Divers kinds of tongues is supernatural utterance by the Holy Spirit in languages never learned by the speaker, nor understood by the speaker, nor necessarily always understood by the hearer. Speaking with tongues has nothing whatsoever to do with linguistic ability; it has nothing to do with the mind or the intellect of man. It is a vocal miracle of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, one reason we speak in tongues is that the Lord Yahushua said this is one sign which should follow believers. Also, tongues is the scriptural, initial evidence also of the baptism in the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:4). It is important to understand that the gift of tongues is unique to the dispensation of the Church Age.

    Every spirit-filled believer speaks in tongues. In addition to praying in tongues in one’s individual prayer life, it is also true that there is a public side to speaking in tongues. Paul said that not everyone would be used in what we call the public ministry of tongues, for he said in First Corinthians 12:30, “… do all speak with tongues? …” The obvious answer is no because in this verse Paul is talking about the public ministry of diversities of tongues which is a ministry gift denoting more the prophetic office, not the devotional gift of tongues. Some take First Corinthians 12:30 out of its context and conclude that Paul was saying, “Speaking in tongues isn’t for everyone. Therefore, you can be filled with the Spirit without speaking with tongues.” However, again, we must remember that here Paul is talking about the ministry gift of tongues, for he began by saying, “AND GOD HATH SET SOME IN THE CHURCH, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, DIVERSITIES OF TONGUES” (1 Cor. 12:28). Ministry gifts or offices are “set” in the Church by Yahweh; they are people called to the fivefold ministry. Then he asked the question in First Corinthians 12:29 and 30, “Are all apostles? . . .” No, all are not apostles: Let’s look a little further in verse 30: “. . . do all speak with tongues? . . .” The obvious answer is no. Paul was talking here about fivefold ministry gifts, just as he was talking about fivefold ministry gifts when he asked, “Are all apostles? . . .” (v. 29), and so forth.

    REMEMBER: The gift of diverse kinds of tonguing is a supernatural utterance in tongues not learned by the speaker.

    CONFESSION: My prayer is enriched by the gift of tongues. It deepens my relationship with the Spirit and opens the door of the supernatural for me. Thank You Lord for this gift in my life. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I curse whatever is retarding your intimacy with the Holy Spirit in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (7): PROPHECY

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Monday November 27, 2023

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (7): PROPHECY

    … to another prophecy? …
    I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

    Prophecy is supernatural utterance in a known tongue. The Hebrew meaning of the phrase, “to prophesy” is to flow forth. It also carries with it the thought: to bubble forth like a fountain, to let drop, to lift up, to tumble forth, and to spring forth. The Greek word that is translated “prophesy” means to speak for another. So “prophesy” can mean to speak for Yahweh or to be His spokesman. In First Corinthians 14:1 we read: “Follow after charity [love], and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may PROPHESY.” We are told to desire spiritual gifts, but especially that we might prophesy. That doesn’t mean we are not to desire the other gifts, but we are to especially desire to prophesy. Again, at the end of First Corinthians chapter 14, Paul repeated, “Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy …” (1 Cor. 14:39). Paul was writing by the inspiration of Yahweh. We could say it this way: Yahweh through Paul spoke to the Church at Corinth (and it applies to the Church everywhere) to desire spiritual gifts, but rather that we may prophesy (1 Cor. 14:1,39).

    There is Foretelling and there is Forth Telling. The simple gift of prophecy should not be confused with the prophetic office or with prophetic utterance that may come forth in the prophet’s ministry. Paul said, “But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT” (1 Cor. 14:3). Thus, we can readily see that in the simple gift of prophecy there is no revelation. The simple gift of prophecy is given for edification, exhortation, and comfort. In the office of the prophet, however we very often find that revelation or foretelling does come forth, even through the vehicle of prophecy. It is also interesting to note the difference between prophecy in the Old Testament and prophecy in the New Testament. In the Old Testament prophecy was essentially foretelling, but in the New Testament we see that the gift of prophecy shifts strongly to forth telling. Prophesying Is More Than Preaching. Some people think that “to prophesy” means to preach. All inspired utterance is prophecy in some form or another, but the spiritual gift of prophecy isn’t preaching. Sometimes there is an element of prophecy in preaching when a person is anointed by the Spirit and is inspired to say things spontaneously that come from his spirit rather than his head. But that is only one phase of the operation of the gift of prophecy.

    The utterance gifts are liable to abuse and misuse more than the other gifts of the Spirit. That is why there is need to sound a note of caution. You must not prophesy. If you have to prophesy make sure that it is not from self. I Corinthians 14:32 says, ‘And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.’ The manifestation of the gift of prophecy is as the Spirit wills, not as you will. Don’t open up to unclean spirits just because you want to prophesy. Caution!

    REMEMBER: The gift of prophecy is supernatural utterance in a known tongue.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: You are delivered today from a deception in the name of prophecy in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (6): THE WORKING OF MIRACLES

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday November 26, 2023

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (6): THE WORKING OF MIRACLES

    To another the working of miracles? …
    I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

    The Working of Miracles can be defined as the supernatural intervention of Yahweh in the ordinary course of nature. A miracle is a supernatural act on a natural plane. When the working of miracles is in manifestation, there is a divine intervention in the ordinary course of nature. For example, the dividing of a stream by the sweep of a mantle is an example of the working of miracles in operation (see 2 Kings 2:14). After Elijah ascended to heaven in a chariot in the whirlwind, Elisha received his mantle and smote the Jordan River. Dividing the waters by a sweep of his mantle was the working of miracles because that was a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature. In the area of healing, many times miracles are received, but this is not necessarily the working of miracles; they are simply called healing miracles. Everything that Yahweh does is miraculous in a sense, but receiving healing by supernatural means is not a miracle in the same sense that turning common dust into insects just by a gesture is a miracle (see Exodus. 8:16), or turning common water into wine just by speaking a word is a miracle (see John 2:7-11). Those two occurrences are examples of the working of miracles.

    Water turned into wine by the ageing process, or the process of nature, is a natural phenomenon. But water turned into wine just by speaking a word, as Jesus did (John 2:1-11), is a miracle according to our definition — a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature. A miracle, therefore, is a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature, a temporary suspension of the accustomed order, or an interruption in the system of nature as we know it, operated by the power of the Holy Spirit. The working of miracles is used to display God’s power and magnificence. In Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Bible, the Greek word for “miracles” in First Corinthians 12:10 is “dunamis,” and can also be translated acts of powers. In other words, the working of miracles could also be called the working of acts of powers. According to the Greek concordance, the Greek word also means, explosions of almightiness or impelling, staggering wonders or astonishments. In other words, the Greek could read, “To another the working of impelling, staggering wonders or astonishments, or the outworkings of explosions of almightiness and acts of powers.”

    The Working of Miracles is the mighty power of Yahweh flowing through a person. Oh how I desire that everyone of us will position in intimacy with the Holy Spirit and have this power flow through us. How much our world is in need of the manifestation of this power. Romans 8:19 says “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” They are waiting for the manifestation of the power of Yahweh. Can we yearn for the manifestation of this power?

    REMEMBER: The working of miracles is the manifestation of the almightiness of Yahweh intervening in the ordinary course of nature.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I release that power over your life today. Receive divine intervention in that situation now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (5): THE GIFTS OF HEALING

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday November 25, 2023

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (5): THE GIFTS OF HEALING

    … to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit?
    I Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)

    The gifts of healing are manifested for the supernatural healing of sickness and disease without any natural source or means. As I’ve mentioned, every one of these nine gifts of the Spirit are supernatural. The gifts of healing have nothing to do with medical science or human learning. Doctors and medical science are natural means of healing. The gifts of healing and the other methods of divine healing are supernatural. The healing that is supernatural doesn’t come by diagnosis or by prescribing treatment. Divine healing comes by laying on of hands, anointing with oil, or sometimes just by speaking the Word, just to name a few examples from the Word of how healing is ministered. I believe in natural healing and I thank Yahweh for it. I think one of the greatest areas in medical science, and one in which the greatest strides have been made, is in the field of preventive medicine. But not only do I believe in natural healing, I also believe in supernatural, or divine healing.

    You can receive healing by standing on the Word of Yahweh. There is a difference between receiving healing through the manifestation of the gifts of healing and just simply receiving healing by our own faith in the Word. Both are scriptural ways to receive healing. One can stand on the Word of Yahweh and be healed on their own. However, gifts of healing are manifested through another person to you. The difference is the channel through which they are manifested. The gifts of healing is a ministry gift to the body of HaMashiach. Not all have this ministry. I Corinthians 12:28-30 says, ‘28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?’ The obvious answer to that question is no. All are not apostles. All do not have gifts of healing. These spiritual gifts are given as the Spirit wills. It is not an achievement but an engracement. Intimate walk with the Holy Spirit places you at a better position to have these gifts manifested through you.

    When in need of healing, you can just believe the Word of Yahweh and act on the Word and you will be healed because it is the anointing that breaks the yoke (see Isaiah 10:27) and the anointing is on the Word. This is also the reason why every believer must belong to a local Church. In the local Church, there must be somebody that the Holy Spirit uses to minister that gifts of healing, so you can have the person lay hands on you when challenged with sickness and be healed. But you know you cannot be sick dwelling in Zion (see Isaiah 33:24; Hebrews 12:22). Selah!

    REMEMBER: The gifts of healing are supernatural method the Spirit brings healing to His people.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I stand on the Word and I command that spirit of infirmity ravaging your body to expire now by fire in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen! BE HEALED!

  • SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (3): DISCERNING OF SPIRITS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday November 23, 2023

    SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (3): DISCERNING OF SPIRITS

    … to another discerning of spirits? …
    I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)

    These first three gifts of the Spirit we are discussing, the gift of the Word of Wisdom, the gift of the Word of Knowledge and the Discerning of spirits are called the Revelation Gifts because they are gifts that show something. The Discerning of spirits gives supernatural insight into the spirit world. To ‘discern’ means to perceive by seeing or hearing. Therefore, discerning of spirits is the same as seeing or hearing in the realm of spirits. The discerning of spirits actually has a more limited range of operation than the other two revelation gifts, the word of wisdom and the word of knowledge. That is because its revelation is limited to a single class of objects — spirits. The revelation that the word of wisdom and the word of knowledge brings is broader and applies to people, places, and things. The discerning of spirits gives us supernatural insight only into the realm of spirits. Remember, the discerning of spirits is seeing or hearing into the spirit world. It also reveals the kind of spirit that is in operation behind a supernatural manifestation.

    The gift of discerning of spirits is not discernment. There is nothing in the Bible as the gift of discernment. It is the discerning of spirits. Many times what people call the gift of discernment is really the gift of the word of knowledge in operation. In other words, people know things by the Spirit of Yahweh and call it discernment. But that doesn’t mean it is really discernment. It is actually the word of knowledge in operation. Also, the discerning of spirits is not a kind of spiritual mind reading. And the discerning of spirits is not psychological insight, nor is it mental “penetration”. It is not the power to discern the faults of others or discerning of people. It is called the discerning of spirits and it deals with spirits that exist in the spirit realm, whether they are divine, satanic, or human.

    Discerning of Spirits Is Not Simply Discerning of Devils. Let me point out that this gift of discerning of spirits is not just the discerning of devils, nor is it the discerning of just evil spirits. To say that the discerning of spirits has to do only with devils is misleading. This gift has to do with the entire class of spirits, including good spirits, bad spirits, and human spirits. It is supernatural insight into the realm of spirits. The discerning of evil spirits is included, of course, but too many times folks have thought that seeing demons and devils is all this gift encompasses and they have been misled. As you stay in the spirit, maintaining the highest spiritual connection, the Holy Spirit will begin to manifest these gifts through you. You are to desire them but not to struggle to manifest them. Their manifestation is as the Spirit wills. Selah!

    REMEMBER: The gift of the discerning of spirits gives supernatural insight into the spirit world.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Everything occluding your sight into the realm of spirits is cut off now. Your testimony is released today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • HOW TO OPERATE IN THE SUPERNATURAL LIFE (3): BOLD DECLARATION

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    HOW TO OPERATE IN THE SUPERNATURAL LIFE (3): BOLD DECLARATION

    Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
    Acts 14:3 (KJV)

    The supernatural realm is the realm of the Holy Spirit and there are spiritual forces that must be deployed in order to see the manifestation of the power of the Holy Spirit. Today, we are speaking about bold declaration. Bold declaration is speaking the Word of the Lord with confidence of faith in the integrity of the Lord to perform His Word. It takes this bold declaration to release the power of the Holy Spirit into the moment of the believer. Why is bold declaration important and vital to releasing the supernatural? Mark 11:23 says, “… he shall have whatsoever he saith.” It takes bold declaration to activate the supernatural. It is only what you say that is performed for you. Job 22:28 says, “Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.” Your mouth is the channel of releasing your desires into the realm of the supernatural. Until you say it, you cannot have it. Until you declare it, it cannot be performed for you. So, bold declaration is vital to activate the power of the Holy Spirit on your behalf. Our opening text affirms this postulation. They were speaking boldly in the Lord and as they were doing so, the Lord gave testimony to the Word and the effect was signs and wonders being done by their hands.

    Bold declaration means that you believe the Word. You can never speak boldly what you do not believe. The Word says that all things are possible to him that believes (see Mark 9:23). Bold declaration is the only way to confirm that you believe the Word and faith in the Word activates the supernatural on your behalf – nothing shall be impossible to you. You begin to operate in all possibilities in all spheres of life. Beloved, do you believe the Word that those who dwell in Zion shall not say “I am sick”? (see Isaiah 33:24). Do you believe that being born again is your arrival at Zion? (see Hebrews 12:22). Then, go ahead and declare boldly “I can never be sick”. Until you can declare such things boldly, you cannot experience peace and rest in your health. This is how these things work. If you believe the Word, then you would evidence it by speaking it boldly.

    There is something that can puncture your bold declaration I would like to point out to you now so you can beware of it. Proverbs 28:1 says “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.” It takes living in righteousness to stand in boldness. Iniquity punctures your boldness both before the Lord and the gates of hell. You must fear nothing but sin. You must avoid sin like a mortal plague because it is even worse. As you stand in righteousness and speak boldly, you are sure to have it the way you say it. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: It takes bold declaration to activate the supernatural.

    CONFESSION: I do not toy with sin. My words are laws in the realm of the spirit. As I say it, I have it. Thank You Lord Yahushua!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Receive a fresh baptism of the spirit of holiness and grace to declare boldly in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday November 14, 2023

    THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

    And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
    Acts 2:4 (KJV)

    The author believes that the disciples of the Lord Yahushua were born again at that instance that the Lord breathe on them and said “Receive ye the Holy Ghost” (see John 20:22). After the price of sin was fully paid, the Lord Yahushua having risen from the dead, his disciples in acceptance of Him as their Lord and Personal Saviour and having gathered to Him, He breathe upon them the Holy Spirit. At that point, they were recreated in their spirit, and became new creatures in HaMashiach. This is the experience, we have already described in this devotional to be the first encounter with the Holy Spirit. There is another encounter that we see here in our opening text which is subsequent to salvation. This means that you can never experience Acts 2:4 until you have experience John 20:22 and 3:3-8. This second encounter is called the baptism of/with the Holy Spirit or the infilling of the Holy Spirit. It is called the infilling of the Holy Spirit because in John 7:37-39, the Lord Yahushua described the experience as drinking until you are filled and it overflows. Then from you, the rivers of living water will start gushing out. It is also the emersion of your spirit-man into the Holy Ghost so that every part of you is inundated with the power from on high.

    This second experience is evidenced by utterance of the Holy Ghost in tongues. Our opening text says that “they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance”. Some claim that they believe in the Holy Spirit but don’t believe in that tongues business. But you are either believing the Word or not believing it at all. You cannot choose what to believe and what not to believe. If the Word says so, then you must believe it or you are an unbeliever. When it is the Holy Spirit that fills you, He gives you utterance in tongues. Just like a baby that is learning to speak, it may not sound good and sweet at the beginning but as you continue to speak, you are taken into deeper dimensions.

    Can an unbeliever receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues? Absolutely impossible scripturally. Without being born again, you cannot be baptised in the Holy Spirit. Apostle Peter explaining to the confused crowd on the day of Pentecost said “32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.” (Acts 2:32-33). Until you are in HaMashiach, the Holy Spirit is never your portion. You cannot receive Him. Selah!

    REMEMBER: The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the enduement with power with the evidence of speaking in tongues.

    CONFESSION: Power from on high is on me. I am anointed to be a witness of the gospel of HaMashiach by the baptism of the Holy Spirit. As I speak in tongues, I connect to this power source and continue to manifest wonders to my world. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Receive a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (8): TEACHER

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday November 12, 2023

    THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (8): TEACHER

    But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
    John 14:26     (KJV)

    The Holy Spirit teaches all things. This is awesome. In life, there is nothing that you cannot know by the teaching of the Holy Spirit. Nothing should be difficult for you. At work, you should be a person of excellence and solution manufacturer by the teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit. Just employing His teaching ministry can make you a wonder among person. He teaches all things. From Mathematics to Physics, to biochemistry, to medicine, to law, to mechanics, to whatever you would require knowledge of. The Holy Spirit brings you knowledge in a most understandable manner. There is nothing that makes you emerge a wonder like learning from the Holy Spirit. Let us see the example of Daniel and his friends. Daniel 1:17 says, ‘As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.’ In Isaiah 11:2, we saw that wisdom, knowledge and understanding are all the product of the Holy Spirit, ‘And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord;’ So, these guys were taught by the Holy Spirit. What was the result? Daniel 1:20 says, ‘And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.’

    Daniel and friends emerged as wonders in their day by the teaching ministry of the Holy Spirit. Magicians and astrologers could not match up with his manifestation. Daniel reigned in the lifetime of four kings. We see another man whose name is Joseph. The teaching of the Holy Spirit brings about solutions that are out of this world. In Genesis 41:38 Pharaoh asked ‘And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?’ So Pharaoh recognized that the order of Joseph can only be by the Spirit of Yahweh. Outstanding solutions are always the product of the teaching of the Holy Spirit. You can take your world by storm as you begin to reel out solutions in dimensions that people wonder. This is your portion in the Holy Spirit. You are not created to be a mediocre. The greater one is living in you. Get to know Him.

    The wonder of the teachings of the Holy Spirit cannot work in your life, if you are so distant from Him. It takes intimacy with Him to be taught by Him. The exploit of king David is a function of intimacy with the Holy Spirit. That is why he cried when he erred, “Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.” Beloved, this is your time to experience sweat-less triumphs and living. There is a better way to do what you are doing now. There is a path of excellence that the Holy Spirit can expose you to today that will bring you to limelight. Get close today and see what becomes of your life. Shalom!

    REMEMBER: The best teacher you can encounter in life and destiny is the Blessed Holy Spirit.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. Father, I want to please you in all my ways, help me to remain in the Word, so I can learn to please you always in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Everything that distracts you from the Word, the instruction manual of the Blessed Holy Spirit is cursed in your life now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
