The Plan of the Spirit

For all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life; is not of the Father but is of the world. 1 John 2:16 Scripture reading:
2 Timothy 1:6–14

It has been a long time now since the debt of sin was settled, our redemption was secured, and death was abolished. Mortality is a hindrance, but death no longer has power. Sin no longer has dominion. You reign in Christ; you take hold of His finished work. Don’t groan and travail for a week if you are in need; “only believe” (Mark 5:36). Amen

Abundant Life

I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
John 10:10
Scripture reading: John 10:1–18

God has a plan for us in this life of the Spirit, this abundant life. Jesus came so that we might have life. Satan comes to steal and kill and destroy (John 10:10), but God has abundance for us—full measure, pressed down, shaken together, overflowing, abundant measure (Luke 6:38). This abundance is God filling us with His own personality and presence, making us salt and light and giving us a revelation of Himself. It is God with us in all circumstances, afflictions, persecutions, and trials, girding us with truth. Christ the Initiative, the TriTriune God, is in control, and our every thought, word, and action must be in line with Him, with no weakness or failure. Our lives are “hidden with Christ in God” (Col. 3:3). Amen

God’s Word is a tremendous word, a productive word. It produces what it is—power. It produces Godlikeness. We get to heaven through Christ, the Word of God; we have peace through the blood of His cross. Redemption is ours through the knowledge of the Word. I am saved because God’s Word says so: “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Rom. 10:9).

Have a blessed day

Depend on God

Lord, I pray, please let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant.
Nehemiah 1:11 Scripture reading: Nehemiah 1

Nehemiah mourned, fasted, and prayed until his humility and yieldedness before God brought the same thing that God’s Word brings to us: it dissolved him. It brought everything of his old nature into a dissolved place where he went right through into the presence of God.
When we reach a place where the Spirit takes us to see our weaknesses, our depravity, our failings; when we mourn before God; we will be dissolved. In the dissolving, we will be clothed with our house from heaven. We will walk in white; we will be robed with a new robe, and this “mortality [will] be swallowed up by life”
(2 Cor. 5:4). Amen

Dying Brings Life

For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:10 Scripture reading: 2 Corinthians 12:1–10; 13:5–9

I must understand how mortality can be “swallowed up” (2 Cor. 5:4). I must know how the old body, the old tendencies to the fallen nature, may be swallowed up. There is a verse we must come to. It would serve us to look at it now: “Always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body”
(2 Cor. 4:10).
What is this “dying of the Lord”? It is dying to desire. In the measure that we look to one another for our help, we lose faith in God. If you rely upon any man or woman, upon any human assistance, to help you, you fall out of the greater purpose God has for you. You must learn that no earthly source can ever assist you in this. You are going to this realm of life only by mortality being swallowed up by life: “And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God” (Gal. 2:20). It is a process of dying and living. Amen, so true.

What about Manifestations?

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all.
1 Corinthians 12:7 Scripture reading:
1 Corinthians 12:1–11

We must never transgress because of liberty. It would be wrong for to take opportunities just because the Spirit of the Lord is upon us. But it would be perfectly justifiable if we clearly allow the Spirit of the Lord to have His liberty with us. However, we are not to behave inappropriately in our liberty, for the flesh is more extravagant than the Spirit. The Spirit’s extravagances are always for edification, strengthening character, and bringing us all more into conformity with the life of Christ. But fleshly extravagances always mar these things and bring the saints into a place of trial for the moment. As the Spirit of the Lord takes further hold of a person, we may get liberty in it, but we are tried through the manifestations of it. The accountability factor becomes real when we are being used, in other words whatever you are chosen to be used in let the Spirit guide and give Him the Glory Amen.

Allow God to Use You

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
2 Corinthians 4:7 Scripture reading:
2 Corinthians 4

When you put your hands upon people to pray, you can tell when the Holy Spirit is present. And if you will only yield to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to move, my word, what will happen! Amen

The Baptism Is Resurrection

That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection. Philippians 3:10 Scripture reading: Philippians 3

The power of the Holy Spirit creates new men and new women. The Holy Spirit takes away stony hearts and gives hearts of flesh (Ezek. 36:26–27). And when God gets His way like that, there is a tremendous shaking among the dry bones. (See Ezekiel 37:4–10.)
We must see that we are no good unless God takes charge of us. But when He has real control of us, our future takes on a new outlook. What a wonderful open door of opportunities for God to use us! Amen

Entering a New Realm

He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself.
1 John 5:10
Scripture reading:
1 John 5

If you are a businessman, you need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. For any kind of business, you need to know the power of the Holy Spirit, because if you are not baptized with the Holy Spirit, Satan has a tremendous power to interfere with the progress of your life. If you come into the baptism of the Holy Spirit, there is a new realm for your business. Good Word for someone struggling with your business or businesses.   
If you are that person email me back so I can pray with and stand in agreement with you in your affliction. 
James 5:13 Amen

Receiving the Baptism

You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. Acts 1:8
Scripture reading: Acts 1:1–11

God wants us to know more about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. God wants us to know the truth in such a way that we may all have a clear understanding of what He means when He desires all His people to receive the Holy Spirit.
Jesus, our Mediator and Advocate, was filled with the Holy Spirit. He commanded His followers concerning these days we are in and gave instructions about the time through the Holy Spirit. If we are going to accomplish anything, we are going to accomplish it because we are under the power of the Holy Spirit.

Paul’s Conversion and Baptism

Some people have an idea that it is only preachers who can know the will of God. However, this account of Saul shows us that the Lord had a disciple in Damascus, named Ananias, a man behind the scenes, who lived in a place where God could talk to him. His ears were open. He was one who listened in to the things from heaven. Oh, they are so much more marvelous than anything you can hear on earth! It was to this man that the Lord appeared in a vision. He told him to go down to the street called Straight and to inquire for Saul. And He told him that Saul had seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him so that he might receive his sight.
The Lord never despises a broken and contrite heart (Ps. 51:17). Saul was given a vision that was soon to be a reality, the vision of Ananias coming to pray for him so that he would receive his sight. Amen

Paul’s Conversion and Baptism

“Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he received his sight at once; and he arose and was baptized. Acts 9:17–18 Scripture reading: Acts 8:1–13

Our God delights to be merciful, and His grace is granted daily to both sinner and saint. Amen

Speech That Edifies

And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
Joel 2:28–29
Scripture reading:
1 Corinthians 14:1–25

We know that the prophecy spoken by Joel was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost. This was the first outpouring of the Spirit, but what would it be like now if we would only wake up to the words of our Master, “Greater works than these [you] will do, because I go to My Father”
(John 14:12)? Amen
