The Life Giver

Romans 8:2 For the power of the life-giving Spirit—and this power is mine through Christ Jesus—has freed me from the vicious circle of sin and death (TLB).

If you are born again (a true Christian), you have the spirit of God living in you. The above scripture calls God's spirit the life-giving Spirit. This is the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead; through this same spirit that same resurrection power dwells in us. Therefore death has no power over us. This life giving Spirit quickens our bodies (Romans 8:11), it is our divine life line. Scripture speaks about two Adams; the first Adam in the Garden of Eden who sinned and died, and the second Adam (Jesus Christ) who came to save us from sin and was resurrected from death. There was a significant difference between both Adams the first was a mere human being made from dust while the second was supernatural, filled with the Spirit of God (1 Corinthians 15:45).

This is why the second Adam was able to overcome temptations and live a purposeful life. He operated in and by a higher power, the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:38). The good news is that the new man in Christ (born again believer) was gifted this same life-giving spirit. This spirit dwells in us to give us victory over death in every aspect of our lives. By this same precious Holy Spirit, we can enjoy life in our spiritual lives, health, marriages, relationships, finances, etc. Many believers have not learned how to activate and partner with the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16); that is why we see poor, sick, sinning Christians. The Holy Spirit was given to us so that we'd have the upper hand in all areas of life. We were not created to go with the flow. I read a quote earlier this week that stated "Only dead fish go with the flow." That is so true! Wise fish stay  with the school, they follow the teacher!

The Holy Spirit is our teacher (John 14:26). He was given to us to teach us ALL things not some things. At times we limit the Holy Spirit to spiritual things (such as prayer), he's more than that. The Lord Jesus Christ came to give us an abundant life (John 10:10), which covers every aspect of life (true prosperity). True prosperity is when you are fulfilled spiritually, physically, emotionally, materially, and financially.

I remember a time when one of the pastors of the church I attended while I was in college told me how she consulted the Holy Spirit about how to dress daily. When she mentioned it then, it sounded weird. But I decided to try it and in no time my dressing improved, I started get compliments from many people. I decided to apply this same principle with cooking. I remember the times when my father would come and visit me while in college. After eating the meal I had prepared for him, he'd politely ask if he could order Chinese food. I was terrible in the kitchen. My mom is an awesome cook, she taught I and my siblings how to cook at a very young age but I despised the kitchen. I spent countless hours there as a young lady so I never practiced what I was taught when I got older. When I began to prepare for marriage that was one area I had to tackle. So I invited the Holy Spirit's help once again, and now my husband is smiling and his belly is bigger...lol.

God cares about every aspect and minute detail of our lives. He's not too big to help us with what we consider “the small things” in our lives; if it was really that “small” it wouldn’t be an issue. He loves us and he cares about our total well-being. No area is off bounds with him, no subject is off bounds with the Holy Spirit. He is an expert in all things. He is a life giving spirit. As a believer no area of your life is permitted to be dead. Walk with the Spirit of God, invite him into every area of your life and receive life! 

Confessions: Heavenly Father, thank you for your precious Holy Spirit. Today I declare that I will partner and walk with him to receive all that pertains to life and godliness, in Jesus' name. Amen

Prayer starter: In the name of Lord Jesus, father I ask for a renew consciousness of your life given power that lives in me by the Holy Spirit. Amen 


You're blessed!

Our Security System

Psalm 121:5, 7-8 The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade. The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever (NLT),

The above scripture tells us that the Lord himself watches over us. He is always by our side and he has our back, front, etc. He did not assign this task to anyone else, he permanently keeping a vigil over us. What an awesome father! He loves us so much to be by our side during every single moment in our lives. Even in our mess, he remains faithful and committed to us. 

Contrary to what some people may believe, he does not watch over us in order to catch us when we "slip" or make a mistake so that he can punish us. No, he watches over us to protect us from evil. He watches over us to ensure that we embark upon and stay on the path that he has paved for us in life. Even when you miss a step or take a wrong turn, he's there. Nudging you towards the right direction, and he keeps at it until you get back on track (Psalm 37:23 NLT).

If this is the case, why do we get afraid when things seem to not work out. Why do we get afraid when things seem to go haywire? If God himself is watching over us, shouldn't we be rest assured that all is well? Is it because we can't see him physically at our side? Is it because we can not see him physically shading us from evil? Sickness? Poverty? Failure? Shame? Why is it that we tend to believe in what we can see with our physical eyes more than what we can not see? What is unseen is more real than what is seen, after all the world that we see was created from the one that we can not see. The unseen realm is the real deal (2 Corinthians 4:18; Hebrews 11:3)...PAUSE and let that sink in! 

In this part of the world (USA), many people have security systems installed in their homes. In the case of a fire, robbery, medical emergencies, etc these systems are designed to alert the appropriate authority officials. When these officials are alerted, they are trained to arrive on the scene ASAP and to provide a solution to the pending issue.

We have a father that is always on guard, he is ever present. Through his Holy Spirit that dwells within us, he is our helper on call (John 14:16 AMP). There is no issue that the Holy Spirit can not attend to, he is an all around expert (John 14:17 NLT). No subject is off bounds. So the next time, you see fear rearing it's ugly head...alert your inner security system. He is ever present and every ready to help you with every and anything (Psalm 46:1).

Confession: In the name of the Lord Jesus, I declare that I am kept by the father. I refused to be afraid, I refused to be moved because the one who watches over me never slumbers or sleeps. Amen!

Prayer starter: Heavenly father I ask that you help me to always remind that you with me, no matter the situation or circumstance. Help me Father to always be still and know that you are God, Amen.


You're blessed!

The Holy Spirit, Our Helper

Romans 8:26-27 And in the same way—by our faith—the Holy Spirit helps us with our daily problems and in our praying. For we don’t even know what we should pray for nor how to pray as we should, but the Holy Spirit prays for us with such feeling that it cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows, of course, what the Spirit is saying as he pleads for us in harmony with God’s own will (TLB).

The Holy Spirit was given to us as a precious gift from the father. He was given to us to live in us and flow through us (John 7:37-39). He was given to us to empower and equip us for life, the quality and quantity of life that God has (eternal life). He is our helper! One of the paramount areas in which the Holy Spirit helps us with is in the place of prayer. 

We have to first of all admit that we do not know how to pray or what to pray for at times. At times we come to the place of prayer without much to say. Thank God for the Holy Spirit! When we invite him into our prayer life he comes to fill our moments of incoherency with Words of faith and power that grant us access into the throne room of the father. 

The bible says in the book of Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. At times we may not be praying in faith. If we are not careful we can pray out of fear, depression, or as a last result. Those kind of prayers will not be answered, God responds to faith. If you truly believe that there's nothing that is impossible for God, you'll never come into his presence afraid. 

When we lean on the Holy Spirit in the place of prayer, we can be rest assured that we will pray right. Because the Holy Spirit will help us to pray according to God's perfect Will. He knows the end from the beginning, he knows the plans of God for our life, he is able to see beyond the NOW and help us to get to the RIGHT place at the RIGHT time. 

Humble yourself in the place of prayer, you don't know it all. God does not need a show, he needs your faith. He does not need nicely crafted statements, he needs to hear you speak your faith in his Word. Admit that you have weaknesses and allow the Holy Spirit to carry you on the wings of grace into God's wealthy place. One way that we can do this is by praying in tongues, there are many myths about tongues but the bible says that it is the key to effective and fervent prayers...it makes the power of God available (Acts 1:8; Acts 2:4; James 5:16 AMP). When the power of God hits your situation, it can never remain the same!

Confession: Heavenly Father, I thank you for your precious Holy Spirit. Today I vow to yield myself to him in the place of prayer and receive help to pray according to your Will, Amen.

Prayer starter: Heavenly Father I come to you today, I asked for the help of your spirit as I go into a time of communion with you. In Jesus' name, Amen.



You're blessed!
