4 Signs The Holy Spirit is Trying to Speak to You (ARE YOU LISTENING?)

Let me tell you something about the holy spirit that you probably haven't been told before make sure your heart is open to this truth as God will use this video to illuminate your heart about this wonderful aspect of his being that resides within you I will also share some signs that the holy spirit is speaking to you even though you don't know he is the one many children of God have different opinions about the spirit Of God some schools of thought say that he is the Breath of God so when they feel the wind it

is the holy spirit flowing in and around you some say that the holy spirit is God's hand of judgment among other things but when you look at the word of God carefully you will see that all of the schools of thought seem to have shared different bits and pieces of the entire person you see the holy spirit is God's breath he is not God's demonstrated power and he Is God the third part of the Trinity which comprises the father son and spirit I believe that the holy spirit is co-equal with God the father and God

the son and is of the same Essence yet he is also distinct from them the Bible describes the holy spirit in personal terms not as an impersonal Force when it says that he teaches guides Comforts and intercedes he also possesses emotions intellect and will but when he the spirit of truth comes he Will guide you into all truth he will not speak on his own he will speak only what he hears and he will tell you what is Yet to Come Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would guide us into all of God's truth not

some but all he would also reveal things Yet to Come things not known by the natural mind to us in John 1416 And1 17 Jesus add and I will ask the father and he will Give you another helper comforter Advocate intercessor counselor strengthener standby to be with you forever the spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive and take to its heart because it does not see him or know him but you know him because he the Holy Spirit remains with you continually and will be in you here he is saying that the Holy Spirit

would be our Advocate helper intermediary and comforter the Scriptures also attest to the deity of the Holy Spirit by showing the qualities of omniscience omnipresence omnipotence and eternality he does Works only God can do such as creating regenerating and sanctifying the Holy Spirit played such a major role in your salvation when you received the gospel and turned to Jesus Jesus Christ it is the Holy Spirit who brought conviction to you as an unbeliever and caused you To see the truth of the Gospel in a clear light anyone who responds to his conviction and places their

faith in Jesus Christ receives eternal life and a new nature the Holy Spirit unites the believer with Christ and places them in the body of Christ the family of God on Earth and in heaven the church the Holy Spirit also unites you the child of God with Christ in his death enabling you to live victoriously over Sin when these conditions are met you will live in and witness his power to produce more and more fruit in your life lastly the Holy Spirit lives in you permanently as the Bible says that he is the Seal of

your salvation his absence would mean that you are not saved this means that he is the guarantee of your salvation until the day of redemp ion when you sin and grieve the spirit he will still never leave you this of course is the lot of the True Believer Not the individual who claims to be one but plans practices and enjoys their sin the True Believer who has the Holy Spirit hates sin because the desires of the Holy Spirit work in their heart more than their sinful flesh now as you have learned some truths about the

Holy Spirit one of the greatest works in in our lives is the work of guidance comfort and correction through his work the Holy Spirit keeps us from falling back into The world and keeps us safe until the end but of course as we all know it can be a challenge to be sure we are hearing from him when he speaks to our hearts so here are some signs the Holy Spirit truly is speaking to you one you are being led to exalt Jesus the Bible clearly tells us how to discern Spirits a very important warning

we must follow especially in these last days where there is so much deception flying all over the Place 1 John 41-3 says dear friends do not believe every Spirit but test the spirits to see whether they are from God because many false prophets have gone out into the world this is how you can recognize the spirit of God every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God this is the spirit of antichrist which you have heard is Coming and

even now is already in the world the devil will never lead you to do anything that exalts Jesus or expands God's Kingdom on Earth everything he leads you to do is Antichrist anti-god and anti- Kingdom when a false spirit is presenting itself in your life your impulse will be to exalt yourself please yourself and consider yourself first even before God he may even convince you to do this in a religious Way by pointing out one or two scriptures to Back that action up but in truth he is leading you against God remember that Satan tried

to do that with Jesus he cited verses from the scriptures for Jesus to bow down before him and to jump from a very high peak thank God that Jesus was the truth and he overcame Satan's Temptations the holy spirit will always Place Christ before you whenever you are seeing and considering God before your actions thoughts and decisions that's The Holy Spirit speaking to you listen to him two the holy spirit is speaking to you when you are being drawn to produce his fruit in your life if if you stay long enough with someone you will

start acting thinking and talking like them similarly the holy spirit is in your heart speaking to you he gives you instructions that produces fruit what are the fruit of the spirit Galatians 5:22 and 23 tells us but the fruit of The spirit is love joy peace forbearance kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self-control against such such things there is no law this means that even when you are receiving an instruction to show love to embrace God's joy instead of depression to control yourself or to be gentle and kind that's the Holy Spirit speaking to your heart

the beautiful thing about one of these is that they are applicable to every need of your life emotional or Sensual needs finances and businesses by stirring you up to be faithful the holy spirit will keep keep you from taking money or office property that isn't yours by prompting you to practice restraint or self-control the holy spirit is speaking battle between your flesh and God's voice three God's word comes alive in your heart since the Devil Himself can appear like an angel of Light how can you know if it's the Holy Spirit speaking through someone or

just that person's own ideas how can you know if you are being led astray by Satan rather than follow the Holy Spirit as you thought the answer is in God's word in other words whatever you sense the Holy Spirit speaking to you personally about you should be able to find the same truths principles and related ideas in the Bible as well if you cannot find a direct or related truth in the Bible or If it outrightly disagrees with it then you are being led astray by the devil the word of God always comes alive when

God wants to instruct and guide you with it you may have read it before but at the appropriate time you will notice how it hits differently seems more precise and feels very personal when the word becomes personal and an answer to what you have been praying about without contradicting who God is and what he commands his children it's the spirit Speaking to you always compare what you are hearing personally to what is already written in the Bible and if the two match you can be sure this truly is the holy spirit speaking to you but

if not prayerfully run away from such guidance it would lead to destruction four you receive an inner peace associated with the instruction aligning with his word Psalm 858 says I will listen to what the Lord says he promises peace to his people his Faithful Servants but let them not turn to to Folly the things about following the guidance of the spirit is that even in the face of chaos despite feelings of fear and anxiety you'll have a deep sense of Peace like this is the right thing to do it would be like having discovered a

new idea that would change the world and being asked to share that with a board of people who want to support you you know this is the right Thing to do and even if you panic knowing that as long as you attend the meeting and speak you have the support already you aren't even trying to win their support you have it your fear is not the outcome just the tension of standing in front of those people notice what Jesus said in John 14 26- 27 about the Holy Spirit giving us wisdom and giving us peace

he says but the advocate the Holy Spirit whom the father will send in my name will teach you all Things and will remind you of everything I have said to you peace I leave with you my peace I give to you I do not give to you as the world gives do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid hence when you are receiving an Insight that aligns with God's word and despite external chaos you have a deeper sense of peace that is a sign that what you have received is coming from

the holy SP Spirit it will end well do you know that your problems draw Strength from your focus on them you could pick up a pebble and it would be quite small in your hands but if you start bringing the pebble closer and closer to your face you'll notice that it begins to cover more of your area of sight if you bring that Pebble close enough to your left eye you'd notice that you won't be able to see much else with that eye because the pebble covers a wider range of your view it appears like

a larger object that is how our Problems look when we focus on them I learned many years ago that what you focus on you give influence over your mind what you focus on you begin to look at 2 Corinthians 3:18 and we all who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory and being transformed into his image with Everlasting Glory which comes from the Lord who is the spirit do you want to become worried focus on worrisome situations at some point worry doesn't Just become something wrong with you it becomes who you are transformed into do

you remember what David said in Psalm 121 he said he would lift his eyes to the hills then he asked where his help would come from if not from the Lord David was using this Psalm to confirm God's word to you today to rely on his assurances rather than the severity of the problem before you while the previous chapter Psalm 120 bemoans What Becomes of a good person's life when they lose their peace and are exposed to the assaults of slanderous people Psalm 121 narrates the Peace of God's presence and his preservation in the first

instance David's eyes looked around with anguish but here he turns them to look up with hope Psalm 1211 I lift up my eyes to the mountains where does My Hope come from Child of God it is wise to look to the strong for Strength your heavenly father has a track record of never losing a battle he has never failed who better to fight for you than such a one who better to rely on for the solution you need than him some people have never known what it means to enjoy peace of mind all they know

is the painful experiences of Life all they know are the disappointments from dealing with people yet if you can venture to believe then you can see that there is a vast land of Possibilities there is a whole world of Miracles awaiting you under the shadow of the weight of your problems you will only see yourself as the prey of marauders a helpless victim to escape the shest method is to fly to the strong holds of Zion Hebrews 4:16 let us then approach God's throne with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find Grace to

help us in our time of need often certain problems in Our life stay longer than they should because you do not take them to God we are quick to search for experts professionals and people with resources but very often we fail to think about God or go to him for our needs the famous hymn what a friend we have in Jesus reads like this what a friend we have in Jesus all our sins and griefs to Bear what a privilege to carry Everything To God In Prayer oh what peace we often forfeit oh what needless

Pain we bear all because we do not carry Everything To God In Prayer have we trials and temptations is there trouble everywhere we should never be discouraged take it to the Lord in prayer can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share Jesus knows our every weakness take it to the Lord in prayer I want you to look at the problem before you right Now it doesn't matter how long you have carried it or how heavy it may seem have you considered turning your Gaze on the one who gave his life

for you the one who has never failed those who trust him the psalmist as we saw earlier sang of his choice to look away from the slanderers his pains his disappointments and his Affliction to the Lord who saw all from his throne the Lord who was ready to pour down sucker for those who trust in him What you see is only a fragment of the true picture God who sits above all else sees all and in his eyes there is no problem so big that he can't solve it and no mountain so high that he

cannot bring under you sadly Although our help comes only from above many of us look elsewhere in vain Hosea 113 and4 says of the children of the tribe of ephra and Israel I taught Ephraim to walk taking them by their arms but they did not know that I healed them I drew them with Gentle cords with bands of love and I was to them as those who take the Yoke from the neck I stooped and fed them this is the picture of many of us today we suffer as if we do not have a God

who can help we walk the streets like helpless orphans without God yet God keeps reaching out to you like he is doing with this video today saying I am here ask me for what you need and I will do it for you do not be afraid of the mountains or the Army before you Instead trust the one who lives in you and who is for you beloved let us lift our eyes with hope expectance desire and confidence Satan will try to keep your eyes on your Sorrows so that you may be troubled and discouraged however

make it your firm resolve to look out and look up I love how Paul the Apostle writes it in 2 Corinthians 4:8 so we fix our eyes not on what is seen But on what is unseen since what is Seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal the problem in your life right now has an it will come and it will go but you can keep it longer than you should if you keep your eyes down in defeat in shame in pain and in disappointment but there is good cheer for the eyes that focus

on God the heart that is fixed on God will find a spring of peace that passes all understanding and they that lift up their eyes to the Eternal Hills shall soon have their hearts lifted up also what should you rely on what should you place your focus on when we say focus on God God's purposes and divine attributes the immutable promises in the Covenant the Providence predestination and proven faithfulness of the Lord these are the hills to which we must lift our eyes from them faith will be strengthened and from there your help must come

Hebrews 6:18 God did this so that by two Unchanged aable things in which it is impossible for God to lie we who have fled to take hold of the Hope set before us may be greatly encouraged don't let the enemy blindfold you telling you there is nothing to lift your eyes to do not be blindfolded but lift up your eyes you will only see when you lift your eyes away from the mountains before you and take it to the throne above all Thrones when you focus on the rear view Or side mirror an approaching car

appears quite larger the closer it gets to you it would be difficult to focus on the road ahead if you keep your eyes on the mirror however there is a larger view in front of you through your windshield you can see the open space in front of you and what paths to take if you turn your eyes back on what's coming behind you you may begin to panic but if you focus on what's in front of you you know there Is no reason to fear similarly many of us are so focused on vehicles of the

past our shame our life crisis and our disappointments honking behind us that we fail to see the highway in front of us there is a high chance you will crash your car if you focus on the rear view mirror while trying to drive forward but if you focus ahead you will be able to get to your destination without crashing this is similar to our lives You are bound to have more and more trouble if you keep your eyes on the problems rather than on the possibilities available to you in Christ Jesus he is the creator

of Heaven and Earth the psalmist says so when we say look to and rely on God's assurances we are not talking about just anybody but of the Creator himself who has promised to help dear child of God as I conclude let me tell you you this what you need is help you need a very present help in Trouble and that is only found in the Lord Jesus our hope is in Jehovah for our help comes from him help is on the road and will not fail to reach us in due time for he who sends

it to us was never known to be too late 1 Thessalonians 5:24 the one who calls you is faithful and he will do it he who created all things is equal to every emergency Heaven and Earth are at the disposal of the one who made them therefore let us Be very joyful in our infinite helper he will not permit those who rely on him to be destroyed nor will he whose ways are Everlasting fail it is vain to trust other creatures it is wise to trust the Creator let us look beyond heaven and earth to

the one who made them both the one who lives forever and ever God gave us the greatest gift when we were born again the gift of the Holy Spirit the very spirit of God himself Living in us when you received eternal life in Christ Jesus you did not just have your sins erased or receive a new life and parted into your spirit yes those were involved but God did even more for you he gave you his Spirit John the Baptist told his listeners that the baptism of the Holy Spirit would supersede his baptism of water

and repentance it would be a baptism of fire Matthew 3:11 I baptize you with water for repentance but after me comes the one who is more powerful than I whose sandals I'm not worthy to carry he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and Fire there's no limit to the possibilities that are available to the person who's received the Holy Spirit and if you put your faith in Christ Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross declaring him as your savior and Lord then he lives in You through the Holy Spirit he also fills us more

and more as we pray for his presence with this we receive empowerment to walk spiritually while he walked on Earth the Lord Jesus gave hints of the spiritual life that we will live when we receive the spirit John 7 38-39 whoever believes in me as scripture has said rivers of Living Water will flow from within them by this he meant the spirit whom those who believed in him were later to receive up to that time the spirit had not been given since Jesus had not yet been glorified Jesus made it clear to the disciples that

the Holy Spirit would not come unless he went back to heaven and thank God that Jesus is seated in heaven and the Holy Spirit his very own spirit is now on Earth to fill all who believe and receive him in the past before the Arrival of the Holy Spirit he could only rest on people to use them for a period of time the only set of people that he was upon were the Kings the priests and the prophets he could not live in anyone yet God promised that a time would come when his Spirit would

live in the hearts of humans this meant a time would come when the holy God would dwell in unworthy and unclean men this means God had a plan to make it possible for normal people to host the supernatural Spirit of the Living God Ezekiel 36 25-28 I will sprinkle clean water on you and you will be clean I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your Idols I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you I will remove from you Your Heart of Stone and give you a

heart of Flesh and I will put my spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws then you will live in the land I Gave your ancestors you will be my people and I will be your God glory to God we are in those days of the spirit when the Holy Spirit comes into your life he'll make you extraordinary he always comes with proof he's that significant there will be changes and there will be signs why because he's the spirit of God he's God living in you and

he does not Come to sit around but to carry out work in your life maybe even though you gave your life to Christ you can't tell if you have the Holy Spirit or if he's working in you or not well here are some signs that the holy spirit is working in you one you desire to know God more one of the first things that indicates the beginning of the work of the holy spirit in the lives of those Who just became children of God is a new desire to know God more and more there's a

new desire to read the Bible to pray to share the good news with others and to do what's right this is not the product of a mere change of mind no it isn't it's the work of the Holy Spirit he's the one activating your desire for him you can't fake it if it's there it's there if it isn't there then it isn't do you notice that the first thing that happened to people who encountered Jesus Or the apostles was that they wanted to follow them and be part of their Fellowship that's right it wasn't just

excitement over the miracle but the fact that something was happening in their hearts the Lord was triggering a longing this longing usually starts when individuals begin their journey toward salvation asking questions seeking answers and seeking peace it's activated more when the individual finally crosses that Threshold into trusting Christ and the spirit comes into them the more you respond to this desire growing in your heart the more you'll seek the Lord and the more your relationship with him will grow two life transforms I believe that the greatest Miracle On Earth Is the miracle of Salvation yes

there are many miracles we experience in the Lord however the greatest of them is not the opening of blind eyes or making the lame walk or Even raising the dead it's the miracle of conversion I don't think anyone can explain how a person can change from a sinner to a saint in a moment but that's what the Bible says in second Corinthians 516 to17 so from now on regard no one from a worldly point of view though we once regarded Christ in this way we do so no longer therefore if anyone is in Christ the

new creation has come the old has Gone the new is here transformation begins from the inside and manifests on the outside when the Holy Spirit is working in you certain changes will begin to take place in your life these changes the things that please God will replace those things that used to be second nature to you this transformation turned Saul the persecutor into Paul the great Apostle it turned Peter the headstrong and inconsistent fisherman to Peter the Loving and bold proclaimer of the Gospel it turned political zealots Tax Collectors Liars thieves and prostitutes into men

and women whose lives look nothing like they used to be this is a sign that the holy spirit is working in you you'll begin to notice change is taking place decisions being made and Lifestyles being re-evaluated this is not because someone threatens you but because you begin to sense that you're no longer who you used To be it begins from the inside and starts manifesting on the outside three the fruit of the spirit appears when you received Jesus into your heart his Spirit came and settled within your spirit fusing his own life into you recreating

your spirit one of the signs of the Holy Spirit working within you is that you'll start manifesting his character Galatians 522-23 lists these characteristics for us but the fruit of the spirit is love joy peace forbearance kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self-control against such things there is no law these are also fruit of the transformation because the changes you'll manifest will fall under these categories they show the character of the spirit of God and of a recreated Human spirit in fact the fruit of the spirit is the most important sign that a person is a

child of God why because they demonstrate that you've truly been touched and turned from your old life four you will experience Divine guidance and receive discernment another sign of the working of the holy spirit in your life is the activation of your spiritual senses one of the reasons the Bible says A person without Christ is dead is that the spirit of Christ in you activates the senses of your spirit in biology we know that living things have characteristics among them are sensitivity the ability to respond to stimuli an ungodly man cannot sense God understand God

or respond to God other than to First be saved the Bible tells us in Romans 8 6-11 the Mind governed by flesh is death but the Mind governed by the spirit is Life and peace the Mind governed by by the flesh is hostile to God it does not submit to God's law nor can it do so those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God you however are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the spirit if indeed the spirit of God lives in you and if

anyone does not have the spirit of Christ they do not belong to Christ but if Christ is in you then even though your body is subject to death Because of sin the spirit gives life because of righteousness and if the spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of the spirit who lives in you when the spirit of God is working in you he will guide you and direct you you will not be satisfied with

just anything there will be a strong desire to know what God's saying and to Discover that through through prayer and reading the Bible the Bible tells us as many are led by the spirit they are sons of God in other words the spirit of God leads children of God maybe you've not been paying attention to his guidance this is a reminder that he's always nearby to guide you if you submit to him there are so many false leaders in the world today including inside the Church it will take the guidance of the Holy Spirit to

tell which is from God and which is a lie a solid sign he's working in you is that you know his voice and can tell whether he's behind an operation or not five you will receive a spiritual empowerment this is another sign that the holy spirit is working in you please remember that these signs are not exhaustive meaning that there's still more signs out there however the these Are important ones before he ascended Jesus asked his disciples to stay in Jerusalem until they Reed the power from above what was this power he was referring to

it was the Holy Spirit in Acts 1 18 he confirmed that but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my Witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the Earth [Music] the holy spirit is the carrier of God's Power he empowers you for the spiritual life although many people live die and go to heaven without really knowing or walking in this power it doesn't mean it isn't there one such empowerment is the ability to pray in tongues this is one of the

ways a Christian builds himself in faith and intimacy with God during prayer it's an exercise of faith that builds spiritual stamina and takes you into deeper depths Of Power with God it's an ability that enables you to pray for things you don't even know about another such empowerment is willingness and boldness to declare Jesus when the spirit of God empowers you he will move you from being timid like Peter was when he denied Jesus to the same Peter when he boldly stood before thousands to preach Jesus what was the difference between these two situations In

the first he was just Peter but in the second he was Peter with the spirit of God one denied and was too afraid to identify with Jesus the other was bold to do so even if it means dying for it when the spirit empowers you you will gain insights into the revelation of God the word of God will come alive to you prayer becomes interesting you become interested in living a holy life and receive the power to reject sins that had a stronghold over you Before I could go on but I'm sure you get the

point the holy spirit is such an amazing blessing and he is close to you if you are a child of God all you need to do right now is to believe that he is there and ask him to carry out his work in your life and when he does you will become fruitful and fulfill your destiny in a wonderful adventure of faith when Jesus Bid Farewell to his disciples following his resurrection he pledged to intercede with God to send Them a comforter in the form of the Holy Spirit a promise fulfilled on the day of

Pentecost yet this promise extends far beyond the disciples alone every child of God is entitled to this divine blessing certainly possessing the Holy Spirit imbus a Christian with blessings beyond measure remember the remarkable transformation power wisdom and confidence that enveloped the disciples upon receiving the spirit regrettably many contemporary Christians remain Distant from such experiences as 2 Timothy 3 APLE States many exhibit a form of godliness while lacking its true power in these times with various spirits of play Discerning the genuine presence of the Holy Spirit becomes Paramount just as the Bible warns that the devil

can masquerade as an angel of Light many within the church today May unknowingly operate under a counterfeit Spirit distinguishing those genuinely filled with the Holy Spirit requires no Prolonged fasting or fervent prayer throughout history a consistent pattern emerges in the lives of those truly infused with the spirit of God a set of distinct habits that serve as Hallmarks of their spiritual journey before we proceed further I urge you to subscribe to this channel if you haven't already and commit to watching till the end this message carries profound significance that stands to transform your spiritual Walk

so what are these habits that characterize a person genuinely filled with the Holy Spirit let's explore the transformative practices that define those in tune with the Divine number one the holy spirit's presence in your life is unmistakable it's like a secret ingredient that transforms you From the Inside Out you see when the Holy Spirit dwells within you something remarkable happens you start bearing fruits not Just any fruits but the kind that reflect the very nature of God himself it's like a spiritual makeover Guided by Galatians 522-23 but the fruit of the spirit is love joy

peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness self control against such things there is no law which lays out the blueprint love joy peace patience kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self-control these aren't just fancy Words they're the building blocks of a life lived in harmony with God's will take love for example when the Holy Spirit takes resonance in your heart love becomes your default mode it's not just a fleeting emotion it's a way of life you start seeing people through God's eyes with compassion and empathy regardless of who they are or what they believe your love isn't

selective it's all-encompassing reaching out to everyone in need and as you walk in love You become a Beacon of Hope in a world filled with Darkness then there's Faith the kind that moves mountains it's not about wishful thinking it's about trusting in God's promises even when everything around you screams doubt with the Holy Spirit as your guide you can weather any storm with unwavering confidence knowing that God is in control this Faith isn't blind it's rooted in the unshakable truth of God's word and let's not forget about peace and joy in a world plagued by

chaos and uncertainty the peace that surpasses all understanding becomes your constant companion it's a peace that anchors your soul regardless of the storms raging around you and with peace comes Joy not the fleeting kind that depends on circumstances but the Deep abiding joy that comes from knowing Christ if you're Not experiencing these fruits in your life maybe it's time to re-evaluate your relationship with God you see the Holy Spirit isn't just a distant presence he's a constant companion waiting to be invited into every area of your life and the key to unlocking is power prayer

it's not just a religious ritual it's a Lifeline a line of direct communication with the creator of the universe number two a burning hunger for God's word and his presence paired with Constant prayer is non-negotiable it's impossible to claim fellowship with the Holy Spirit if you can't recall the last heartfelt conversation you had with them and let me caution you if someone professes to possess the Holy Spirit but lacks a steady commitment to studying God's word and prayer exercise caution when the Holy Spirit dwells within you he ignites a passion to dive deep into scripture

remember when Jesus spoke to his Disciples about the Holy Spirit he promised that the spirit would be their teacher in all things this means the Holy Spirit enriches your understanding of God's word he unveils profound truths hidden within the scriptures enriching your knowledge of God's word with each passing day moreover the Holy Spirit bolsters your prayer life reminding you of the vital importance of communion with God in Romans 8:26 the Apostle Paul Affirms this truth stating the spirit helps us in our weakness we do not know what we ought to pray for but the spirit

himself intercedes for us through wordless groans the Holy Spirit grants you sensitivity to God's leading guiding you to seek wisdom and understanding through fervent prayer the word of God isn't just a religious obligation for those attuned to the holy spirit it's their Lifeline to Divine wisdom and guidance Through diligent study and meditation on God's word they gain insights that illuminate their path equipping them to navigate life's complexities with Grace and discernment number three acts of compassion when the Holy Spirit resides within someone it's like a light shining through their actions you see they naturally tend

towards compassion kindness and selflessness it's not forced or Contrived it flows from them effortlessly think about it extending a helping hand lending a listening ear these aren't just gestures their reflections of divine love and motion their deeds fueled by this love carry a power that transforms lives infusing hope into a world that's craving genuine connections it's like they're walking embodiments of God's love leaving a trail of positivity and kindness Wherever they go and that my friends is the mark of someone who's truly touched by the Holy Spirit they don't just talk the talk they walk

it radiating love and compassion without even realizing it that's the kind of presence that leaves an imprint on hearts and souls a presence that speaks volumes number four triumph over sin living in sin and snare a person binding them in Chains of bondage the Apostle Paul sharing wisdom in the Bible Emphasizes that whatever hold sway over you controls you it robs you of what truly matters Paul further explains that obedience dictates Your Allegiance whether to sin or righteousness this is a defining characteristic of those filled with the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit empowers Believers to

conquer the grips of sin enabling them to withstand temptation and the world's seductions without this empowerment one becomes vulnerable to The Ws of the devil those infused with the Holy Spirit possess a heightened sensitivity to righteousness nurturing a deep desire to walk in God's ways and honor his commands they discern the abundance of blessings fostering a spirit of gratitude amidst all circumstances even amidst trials they find cause for Joy recognizing that each experience is an Avenue for growth in divine intervention number four victory over Sin you know living in sin is like being trapped the

great Apostle Paul he talked about this in the Bible he said whatever holds you whatever grips you it becomes your master and let me tell you it steals away the things that truly matter he went on to say what you obey that's your master whether it's sin or doing what's right see here's the thing that sets someone with the Holy Spirit apart from someone who's just empty inside the holy spirit gives you the Power to conquer sin you can boldly say I'm not a slave to sin anymore but that's because the Holy Spirit helps you

to say no to temptation to turn away from all the flashy empty promises this world offers otherwise you're just prey to the devil's schemes people filled with the Holy Spirit can sense what's right and they have this deep desire to walk hand inand with God to follow his lead they see the blessings all around them even In tough times and they're grateful for every bit of it they find Joy even in the midst of struggles because they know that every experience good or bad is a chance to grow to experience something Divine so let me

tell you having the holy spirit it's not just some idea it's a GameChanger a life Transformer it's the difference between being stuck in the same old cycle of sin and stepping into a life of freedom and Purpose let's talk about the fifth habit having the boldness to share the message of peace picture this Peter once timid and fearful now Stands Tall among his peers fearlessly proclaiming the truth remember that pivotal moment on Pentecost the Holy Spirit descended transforming not just their hearts but their very words it's like a light switched on inside them Illuminating Mysteries

previously Hidden Jesus himself said they'd spread his message far and wide and that's exactly what they did Peter who once had faltered in fear now leads with courage that's the power of the Holy Spirit empowering Ordinary People to do extraordinary things Ephesians 1:7 says he or she has been redeemed or their sins were forgiven Ephesians 1:13 tells us that new Believers are sealed by the Holy Spirit you were sealed in him with the Holy Spirit of Promise Ephesians 1:13 moving on to faith the Cornerstone of our journey it's about trusting in something bigger than ourselves

even when the road ahead seems uncertain those led by the spirit walk in faith witnessing Miracles unfold as prayers are answered and obstacles crumble their lives become living living proof of God's power at work now let's talk humility a virtue often overlooked in today's world of Self-promotion but those filled with the Holy Spirit understand the true essence of greatness it's not about chasing fame or Fortune it's about serving others with humility and obedience they relinquish their own desires allowing the spirit to guide them towards righteousness and selflessness boldness faith and humility three key habits of

those walking with the holy spirit it's not about flashy words or grand gestures it's about Living with purpose and conviction letting the spirit lead the way number six you see when the Holy Spirit comes into your life it's like being equipped with superpowers but instead of saving the world these gifts Empower you to serve God and help others find their way to him the Bible puts it this way in 1 Corinthians 12 4-7 there are different kinds of gifts but the Same Spirit distributes them for The common good so whether it's the gift of Prophecy

healing teaching or discernment these abilities aren't just for show they're meant to be put into action to make a real difference in the lives of those around you but remember they're not for your own Glory they're for lifting up the body of Christ and showing the world the greatness of God so let's keep the Holy Spirit active in our lives not just for our sake but for The sake of everyone around us now I want to hear from you what's one way you've seen the Holy Spirit at work in your life or in the lives

beautifully encapsulates you serve me a feast in the presence of my enemies you honor Me by anointing my Head with oil my cup overflows with blessings this is a Divine truth we need to embrace we are all blessed abundantly often right under the noses of those who oppose us it's a stark reality yet one we mustn't shy away from the existence of adversaries it's not an attempt to instill fear or unease but a call for understanding many times individuals feel a sense of betrayal their hearts Heavy with disappointment and in their hurt they erroneously assign

the blame to the Lord not realizing that the situation they find themselves in is one of their own Creation The Holy scriptures time and again remind us about the presence of adversaries a poignant verse from Matthew 5:44 prompts us but I say love your enemies pray for those who persecute you the scriptures don't mince words they present a candid picture of The world we live in a world that includes both allies and adversaries ignorance is not Bliss in this case it's imperative to acknowledge the presence of foes in our lives the manifestation of an adversary

may vary some might show their dislike openly while others might conceal their animosity behind masks of friendship ready to strike when you least expect it our lord Jesus a man of perfection and the embodiment of goodness wasn't exempt From adversaries despite his actions which were always for the benefit of others he faced opposition so when you find yourself blessed Rejoice silently and in your heart give thanks to God but be mindful about who you should share your blessings with keep your triumphs and victories guarded not out of fear but from a place of wisdom this

is the key to walking in Divine favor while navigating the realities of the world the existence of adversaries shouldn't instill fear or alter your path instead it should serve as a reminder to walk with discernment continuing to spread love and praying for those who might not wish the best for you remember blessing shared wisely is a blessing preserved despite the absolute selflessness and Perfection embodied by Our Savior Jesus Christ he was not Without adversaries it was this very Perfection that attracted contention and it's a stark reminder for each of us if Jesus in his Flawless

Divinity encountered opposition what makes us believe that we in our flawed Humanity would be exempt from the same in our journey we'll inevitably cross paths with antagonists some known and others concealed in the shadows such is the intricate tapestry Of life we navigate painted with the Hues of Envy jealousy and misunderstandings Humanity unlike the straightforward nature of our canine companions is a complex jigsaw of emotions and motivations where a dog will unpretentiously show you love or disdain a human might mask their true intentions biting their time until they can strike at our most vulnerable in

this Maze of emotions your God-given blessings can be a Beacon of Hope but they can also become a spark for bitterness your Prosperity might uplift some while fueling resentment in others thus it becomes essential to Bear witness to God's blessings with measured wisdom and discretion sharing your testimonies shouldn't involve exposing every intricate detail of your blessings there's wisdom and restraint and Sometimes when the almighty showers you with his grace it's better to remain silent quietly expressing gratitude our world is steeped in malevolence that exceeds our wildest imaginations the Chilling Tales of Deceit and treachery that

unravel each day are testimony to This Bitter reality we can't extend our trust liberally it's a precious commodity to be shared with those truly worthy as we Traverse this Earth it Becomes apparent that evil lurks in every corner our book The Bible underlines this harsh truth as you journey through life showered with God's blessings remember to approach with humility wisdom and discernment your victories May Inspire many but may also attract Envy testify God's goodness but remember that not all are entitled to know the depths of your blessings in a world where deceit often Shadows truth

sometimes it's best to cherish God's blessings quietly and remember when God blesses you keep your mouth shut in the sacred Chronicles of the Bible Joseph's life delivers a powerful lesson his tale serves as a shining Beacon showing us the importance of discretion when we receive God's blessings the understanding and wisdom gathered from his journey can guide us all in the path of divine Benevolence Joseph's brothers became vessels of envy and bitterness when he in his innocence shared his prophetic dreams their hearts filled with hostility failed to understand the divine plan behind Joseph's destined greatness with

God's Providence what they meant for evil turned out for Joseph's good transforming him into an influential leader the question remains who do you share your blessings with are you revealing Your victories to those who will belittle your accomplishments or are you celebrating your Divine gifts with those who Harbor resentment and jealousy remember those who are led by Earthly desires often seow seeds of strife Discord and bitterness aligning with such individuals and expecting them to rejoice in your blessings could be a feudal Endeavor God's blessings are a s secred trust and not everyone can appreciate Them

those filled with malice May conspire against you just like Joseph's brothers therefore it's Paramount to discern the intentions of those around you are they briming with Envy or bitterness it's crucial to understand whether they walk in alignment with the Divine Spirit or are they driven by Earthly desires Paul's letter to the Galatians outlines the fruits of the Flesh and the Spirit he warns against indulging in Earthly desires such as adultery fornication impurity idolatry witchcraft hatred variance emulations wrath Strife seditions heresies Envy murder drunkenness and revelries those who seow such seeds cannot partake in the Kingdom

of God therefore when God showers His blessings upon you it's prudent to exercise wisdom in sharing this good news not everyone Around you wishes you well while it's a joy to celebrate God's blessings remember Joseph's tale and choose discretion it's better to let God's work in your life be revealed in his time the purpose here is not to cause fear but to instill wisdom and understanding God's blessings in your life are a test testimony of his love when the time is right they will speak for themselves until then when God blesses you keep your mouth

Shut remember it's God who elevates you and when he does no force on Earth can pull you down Samson the mighty champion of the Old Testament fell victim to his own openness his heart filled with overpowering love led him down a path of blindness Samson entrusted Delila with the Divine secret of his strength not Discerning the danger lurking beneath her inquiries from this tale we absorb a Poignant lesson as the Divine energy bestowed on Samson was his downfall when revealed so too can our blessings become our challenges when shared unwisely if Samson had held his

tongue his path may have been vastly different in revealing his Divine secret he crafted his own catastrophic downfall a downfall that transformed a once glorious existence into a tragic end Delilah's persistent inquiries were a clear warning sign that Samson smitten With love chose to ignore Thrice she tested him and each time he faltered but persisted in revealing the truth his failure to recognize these signs cost him his life and his Destiny consider the relationships in your own life perhaps there are individ idual who though wrapped in Friendly gestures bear ill intentions often there are signs

indicating their true motives much like Samson are you brushing those signs Aside are you choosing to share God's blessings with them ignoring the potential for harm it's a scenario that many of us unknowingly find ourselves in we share our divine blessings with those who secretly Harbor animosity even when God's intervention has saved us from their concealed plots we persist in disclosing his miracles in our lives Samson despite being shown clear Warnings handed himself over to the enemy are you observing the signs in your life or are you too overlooking the Divine warnings about those you

consider friends our lives are sacred a testament to the Divine love and mercy that God showers upon us as such it's essential to be Discerning about what we share and with whom the tale of Samson serves as a crucial reminder not to trade our blessings for Calamity allow your life to reflect the transformative power of the Lord's salvation subtly but profoundly Our Savior Jesus Christ never suggested that we flaunt our Earthly accomplishments be it the plush cars we drive or the opulent houses we own such boasts carry no weight in the kingdom of God what

truly matters what resonates with the Divine is sharing the testimony of the journey from spiritual desolation to an Abundant Life In Christ The Gospel is a Beacon of Hope For Humanity share that hope share the promise of Salvation cease the frivolous chatter halt the feudal habit of discussing others Affairs there's profound wisdom in 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 which says be ye not unequally yolked together with unbelievers for what Fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness and what communion hath light with darkness and what Concord hath Christ with bile or what part hath He that believeth with an Infidel

you're not required to keep company with those who don't share your faith seek companionship among those whose Hearts vibrate in harmony with God's love there's an inexpressible Beauty in being in the presence of those who Brim with the Holy Spirit these individuals reignite your spiritual flame when it flickers low they share in the joy of your blessings not out of Envy or Pride but To praise God for his benevolence they are the ones fervently praying for God's favor upon you anticipating your shared Joy these are the people you should seek fellowship with don't let fleeting

emotions dictate your choice of friends don't judge a book by its cover trust in the Divine wisdom of God to reveal the true nature of people let your faith in the Lord guide you towards the right companionship and when the Lord showers His blessings upon you remember it's not an opportunity to flaunt but a chance to humble yourself before his magnanimity our blessings are precious pearls Best Kept safe from those who might not value them or Worse malign them like seeds sewn in fertile soil let God's blessings Sprout within you manifesting subtly in your growth

and contentment do you know that there is a place in the Bible where God said I will Proclaim the Lord's decree he said to me you are my son today I have become your father Psalm 2:7 even though this verse talks about Jesus Christ it also talks about you do you know how I know this because God's word also says so Romans 8:29 for those God fornew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters and those he predestined he also Called

those he called he also Justified those he justified he also glorified and another other words God is not only the father of Jesus Christ he is also the father of anyone who comes to him through Jesus faith is how God gave birth to you and how you became his own think about this for a moment dear child of God what is your opinion of yourself who do you think you are has anyone ever asked you that question and You thought okay maybe because I am not rich with a lot of money and cars don't know

any celebrities or don't have a great degree then I am a nobody but that is not the truth if you think this about yourself then you don't know who you truly are you are not ordinary you are not a face in the crowd you are significant chosen by God called out of Darkness to demonstrate his Beauty and glory to a world in darkness 1 Peter 2:9 perfect ly Describes it for us to see it says but you are a chosen people a royal priesthood a holy nation God's special possession that you may declare the Praises

of him who called you out of Darkness into his wonderful light when these words enter your spirit they evoke a deep feeling of awe within you and gratitude to God for his mercy and Grace upon you friend you were not saved d by God to get lost in the crowd or to be just one of those people it is God's Desire to make you a personality to be reckoned with in this world I love how a man of God penned it down some years ago he said you are not an accident you are a deliberate

creation of a great God those words stuck with me ever since I read them and I always remind myself I am not an accident I am a deliberate creation of a great God these words Echo the words of Peter they tell us that regardless of the circumstances that surround our Birth childhood background or social status in Christ we are wonderfully and awesomely chosen by God to show his Beauty you are beautiful you are awesome yes I'm talking about you the person listening right now you may look at yourself and feel lot of place you may

look at yourself right now and see nothing despite your faith believe me your faith is your trademark it is your identity it is what confirms you as God's prized possession destined for a Beautiful life you must come to the place of embracing who you are in Christ there are a few things you should know about what it means to be chosen then I will tell you signs that you are chosen even though you do not know it yet as I began by saying and showing you from the Bible your relationship with Jesus placed you among

God's family separated by God himself like Peter wrote to show his praise hence as God's chosen son or Daughter when he looks out on the world he sees and recognizes you he sees you as beautiful and unique he sees you as his instrument on Earth here to fulfill a divine purpose and plan on the earth isn't it amazing that God looks on the earth and sees one he can count on and that's you aside from this the Bible says that as God's chosen you are a holy and peculiar individual to be holy means that God

has separated you not just for his work alone but also for Himself in the days of old God instructed Moses and the priests to take items made of gold and other precious material and to dedicate them to him no one else would have access to use those items once they were dedicated to God they were then to be called God's vessels holy materials yes they contained the same elements as the materials you'd buy at a store but because they were God's Property they were holy and could not be tampered with no one could use them

for anything other than for Spiritual purposes I could write many things about this matter but now now I will show you something special through Christ God chose you to be his vessel where his presence dwells now not only do you have access to God's presence he lives in you and goes with you everywhere you go your past no longer matters your sins are forgiven and you belong to God Jesus Paid For You therefore no one man or demon can claim ownership of you this is one of the greatest joys of being God's chosen You Are

Holy you may not look like it but because your life has been given to Christ and because you live in Jesus and for Jesus you are his own and his Mark of ownership his seal the holy spirit is on you Ephesians 1: 13 and you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of Truth the Gospel of your salvation when you believed you were marked in him with a seal the promised Holy Spirit you belong to God's family and have been called to fulfill his purpose on Earth with the gifts he has given

to you no one can claim ownership of you because God has chosen you already isn't that truly astonishing so you may be worrying oh I wish I could have such confidence in the fact that I am God's Chosen how can I know I am God's chosen I really want to know well I promised I would share how to know you are God's chosen even if you had no idea before the first sign is you find it hard to fit in have you ever wondered why you have always struggled to fit in with the system why

everything about you seems to always go against the flow why you just can't seem to be satisfied with the system the things the world offers and Are detached from all things that are fleeting well there's nothing wrong with you it is a sign that God is choosing you for something greater if you look through the Bible you will notice that God has always gone for Misfits and turned them into impact makers on the earth consider Jacob Moses jeffa David the disciples Paul and so on from before you were conceived in your mother's womb before your

parents even thought about coming Together God already planned your life nothing you will do or have ever done before now will catch him by surprise he is aware of all your shortcomings habits mistakes strengths and weaknesses and yet he still chose you they may have told you that God would never choose a person like you because you do not fit in because you don't have all the boxes checked but listen that is not the truth does God Want you living just any way and embracing an abominable lifestyle no he doesn't rather he wants you to

know that he wants you and he has a better life for you to Channel all your energy towards imagine Saul's Zeal before he became Paul he was bent on destroying Christians and everyone who served Jesus but when he met Christ on the way to Damascus The Man Who Would later call himself the chief of Sinners was saved and God channeled that unwavering Commitment to preaching the gospel today we still study the life of one of the greatest Misfits ever why because he embraced his true identity in Christ when you do not fit in don't feel

like something is wrong with you it is a sign that you are chosen so instead of running away answer the call and embrace who you are in the one who made and shows you the second sign is you always come out safely I remember many years ago before I became a Believer between my adolescence and teenage years I noticed that I was always drawn to Danger I was quiet on the outside but inside me was a child craving Adventure even if it meant putting myself In Harm's Way of course I know that was the devil

trying to destroy me because when I look at the things I escaped and survived unscathed from I can only say that God was preserving me even after I became a Believer I became more and more aware That there were many attacks of the devil on my life that I wasn't aware of and God has been fighting for me and preserving me even up until this moment dear child of God this is one of the signs that you are chosen there are circumstances you have faced that would have devastated others yet you stand here today you

are chosen by God does it mean you are better or smarter than those who got caught In Harm's Way doesn't mean God doesn't love Them simply means that you have been chosen according to the wisdom and Excellence of his counsel God knows and sees all things the devil does not know all things we may predict but cannot say for sure what God has in store for you so when you notice that Satan is always is attacking you and getting you into situations meant to destroy you don't fear in fact that is a sign that God

is doing something in your life that you are not even aware of and the devil Wants you to step outside of God's will you see the Bible didn't tell us that as God's chosen people we will not come under attack no it doesn't say that instead it says that weapons will be forged against us enemies will rise against us from different directions and diverse challenges will come to bring us down yet in all of these not one will succeed in completely destroying us this is God's Own word assuring you that no weapon sent to harm

you will Succeed in its Mission the devil employs various weapons such as fear in his Arsenal however as a child of God you do not have to accept fear God has promised that Satan's weapons will not overcome you they may persist but in the end you will always come out on top there is nothing more reassuring than knowing that God is always by your side supporting us regardless of the challenges we face or the hardships we Endure there is a radiant light at the end brought forth by the Lord no matter how formidable or terrifying

the obstacles may appear they will not overpower us Victory is guaranteed for those who trust in the Lord and make him their refuge in times of adversity if you reflect on your life you will recognize the hand of the Lord upon you looking back you will see that without the Lord you would not have overcome the trials you faced God has Chosen you my friend it is time to enter your identity one of my favorite portions of scripture is Jeremiah 29:1 it goes thus for I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord

plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you hope in a future this verse encapsulates the entire scope of God's heart for his children so even when I am going through difficulty I remember that because of God's good intentions for me I am about to come into something bigger and better for the child of God there may be bad or hard times but do not forget this there is no disadvantage you will always end well either in this life or in the next I believe that David the man after God's heart

also felt this way about God too so he could pen down the Glorious Psalm even though I walk through the darkest Valley I will fear no evil for you are with me your rod and your staff they Comfort me you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies you anoint my head with oil my cup overflows he knew that in the face of difficulty he had god with him and that gave him the assurance that he would come out of that dark Valley of Life beloved let these words strengthen you today God

is bringing big blessings and open doors your way don't lose your grip on life or on your faith hang in there there is light ahead of you your best days are Not behind you no they are ahead of you maybe you are wondering how do I know that these things things are about to happen what is the sign that big things are going to come out of what you are going through at this moment the fact that you are watching this right now is your first confirmation this is not a random message appearing on your

timeline for nothing no it is a deliberate message from God to you secondly permit me to share with you A sign that God will bring big blessings and open doors your way I shared it already but let me repeat it I was speaking with a friend and I told her that as long as we are attached to God in a healthy relationship where we stay true to his word and godliness everything in our lives will eventually lead us to something better David confirms this in Psalm 66:12 you L people ride over our heads we went

through fire and water but you Brought us to a place of abundance because you are his child God will cause everything to turn out for your good this includes causing big blessing things to come your way as well as open doors what does an Open Door represent in your life right now for some people an Open Door means a new job opportunity for others it means Market success in a new environment for some people a big blessing means a miraculous provision of money needed to pay rent success at an Examination where you aren't sure of

success or promotion at a long awaited Venture whatever it means for you I want I want you to know that these things are not impossible for God to do in fact because you are his child you are qualified to experience them in your life God has placed certain confirmations for things around us as long as you and I live following him each step of the way for everything he does or will do for you he will give you Different signs to confirm that they will happen once you see these signs know that God is about

to do something for you these confirmations are not the same for everyone or for every case however for most there is a similarity for example when it involves a change of story or a financial miracle if you notice that things just keep getting worse in spite of your prayers and obedience to God's word know that God is about to visit you with a testimony I Can show you from different instances of scripture every person who received great blessings and open doors had it hard for a while God had told Abraham for instance that he would

become the father of many nations yet he and Sarah could not have a child together for about 25 years a father of many nations should not be short of children but he experienced that until his Miracle came which made it more spectacular Joseph was to become a Leader of his parents and siblings in different nations would bow down to him however this great leader went from an ordinary citizen to a slave and then he went to prison it would seem like things were about to change when he met the king's servant in the prison yet

he was forgotten for another period of time until the day he was remembered for good the Bible says weeping may endure for night but joy comes in the morning it is said that the darkest hour is the one Before Dawn well these and many others in the Bible experienced that last hour just like you may be experiencing now and then their morning came your morning is about to show up your light is about to break forth the fact that things are getting worse is the sign that you are due for big Miracles so what should

you do when you see this sign the moment you see the sign in your life that things getting worse instead of better here are a few things you need to do begin to Praise God over the matter why is it important to praise God when things seem to get out of hand because it is time to put your faith to work it is time to position yourself the miracle about to come and nothing positions you to receive a miracle from God more than a joyful heart Isaiah chap 12:3 with joy you will draw water from

the wells of Salvation without joy in your life you will not be able to see what God is Doing in your life even when it stares you right in the face however with joy you will find new strength as the Bible says the joy of the Lord is your strength the more you acknowledge and praise God above the difficulty in your life the stronger your faith and focus will be in the midst of the situation the enemy usually gets Believers here many times Believers give up and start complaining when their Miracle is about to show

up they stop Coming to church they stop reading their Bible they stop praying or trusting God for anything instead some even begin to speak out against the same things they once believe in Beloved this is not how to enter the open doors God prepares for you on the contrary this will hinder you from entering it will block your entrance you have to learn to stir your heart to praise God in the midst of your crisis and how do you do this focus on him and on his promises more than on the Crisis at hand surround

yourself with things that tell you how great God is how faithful he is how powerful he is how consistent he is and how timely he is if you expose yourself to these you will notice that you are exalting God above the situation if the enemy can displace a person from praising God to complaining when their Miracle is about to come he will successfully keep them from it when it eventually shows up another thing to Do when you notice the sign that God's big blessing and Open Door is coming is to hold on to your integrity

and stay true to God's word this is a very sensitive one to note many believers miss their open doors here the enemy knows that your big day is approaching he knows he cannot stop it however he understands that the only one that can keep you from experiencing this is you yourself so he sends you a copy a less valuable version of the Breakthrough and This copy is one that you will regret in the end this will require you compromising your faith to get it if you do you'll be missing out on the big picture and

settling for something less than was ordained for you Joseph was set on a path for greatness but the enemy wanted to destroy him before he got there so what did he do he planted a counterfeit on the way if Joseph would lay his principles down and sleep with his master's wife he would be promoted But thank God Joseph knew better than to do this he saw the bigger picture and made up his mind to reach it he held on to his integrity and although that got him into a tight spot for a while it paid

off later some of us have settled for things far less than what God has in mind because we weren't patient disciplined and focused enough when your Miracle is about to come is the time to stand your ground even more it is not the time to joke around or get Distracted it is not the time to settle for something that looks like what God says no it is the time to stand strong and wait it is the time to believe and stay true don't cheat don't lie don't Forge that document don't say you have what you

don't have speak the truth stand for the truth let the opportunity clothed in ungodliness pass the big blessing will come at the right time these two are sufficient elements that if practiced will bring you into the Experience of all that God says he is bringing into your life do not lose faith my friend look out and focus on the sign I have just shared with you ask the Holy Spirit to help you to not give in to the distractions of the enemy ask the Lord to help the light of your faith to shine brighter as

the darkness surrounds you so that you can Implement these things you'll be amazed at how fast the things you've waited for will show up like David you will declare when The Lord turned our captivity we were like those who are dreaming it would feel like a dream because it would feel too good to be true but it is true what makes the Christian faith so special and your walk with God so amazing have you ever wondered what makes the Christianity different from all other faiths and beliefs in the world well I have and I would

love to share a thing or two about what I pondered upon in my studies I have come To realize that the Christian Chris faith is one in which we have access to God through his Spirit having being reconciled to him because of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross we have been born into God's own family made Hees of God and coars with Christ Romans 8:1 17 now if we are children then we are heirs Heirs of God and coair with Christ if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share

in his Glory we are made Kings and Priests unto our God Revelation 5:10 you have made them to be a kingdom and priest to serve our God and they will reign on the earth so many other amazing truths make the Christian faith like no other before the fall of Man in the garden and eventually God's Redemption and restoration plan for Humanity there was a pattern to living in the beginning after man's creation and placement in the garden Adam was saddled with the responsibility of Taking care of the Garden in Eden and all that was in

it God had commanded Humanity to be fruitful and multiply replenish the Earth and subdue it man was meant to dominate all living things the fishes in the sea the fowls in the air and all animals on land that was not all God also gave man over all vegetation as food man had all he needed however there was still more God gave man his presence God's voice would walk in the garden at the cool of The day and have fellowship with man man was the Apex of God's creation and the center of God's attention and he

enjoyed fellowship with God daily Adam was meant to be a God on Earth because he was created in the image and likeness of God other animals were made after their own kind man was meant to reign in the earth as God reigned in heaven Genesis 3 gives us the account of how man fell man fell from glory and yielded Authority and Dominion to the Devil when he listened to the Serpent's deception this happened when man ate the fruit he was commanded not to Man became mortal insensitive to God eternally separated from his maker and doomed

to death man lost his home the garden his work taking care of the garden and all that was in it and his purpose which was to be fruitful and multiply replenish and subdue Dominate and have authority and Reign Over All Things God who is merciful compassionate And kind devised a plan through which man could be restored back to his original place and become God's friend and partner again God's plan was to pay for man's sins so that man would be free from Eternal damnation God's love compelled him to send his son to be the atoning

sacrifice and die so that eternal life can be made available man can be restored to glory and enjoy that ceaseless flow of communication relationship and partnership with his Maker and Source just as it used to be in the garden man's reconciliation and restoration made it possible not just for the voice of the Lord to come in fellowship with man or for the Holy Spirit to come upon a man as it did to the prophets of old thanks to the atoning work of Jesus on the cross Man became became a suitable host for the Holy Spirit

you and I can now host the Holy Spirit and yield daily to him because of the work of Christ on Calvary Ephesians 1:3 and you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of Truth The Gospel of your salvation when you believed you were marked in him with a seal the promised Holy Spirit if you believe that Jesus is the son of God and he died to save you from Eternal Doom then you have salvation and you have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise believe that when we receive Christ Jesus our

spirit which inherited Death from Adam is brought back to life how does this happen Jesus himself comes into you through the Holy Spirit when he comes life comes and you are revived but much more than that you become his Dwelling Place the holy spirit is given to all who would freely receive him and would help us do the will of God if we led him the holy spirit is our helper comforter Advocate intercessor counselor strengthener and standby and he is to be with us forever no wonder the Bible says That you are the temple of

God 1 Corinthians 6: 19-20 says do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit who is in you whom you have received from God you are not your own you are bought at a price therefore honor God with your bodies when the spirit of God comes into a new believer many things begin to happen he doesn't just come to make people speak in tongues or perform Miracles he comes to do many other things generally to help You and I live the life of Heaven here on Earth when he works in your

life you will notice things that weren't there before desires and abilities this is proof that your new life is not self-inspired but God inspired what are some signs that the holy spirit is working in your life one sure sign anyone who has the spirit of God will notice his willful obedience and partnership with God's instructions in his word normally before The spirit of God takes his place in your life certain desires and culture plays out through you your flesh is in charge and your entire being is subject to it you find out that you are

more desirous of things that do not please God ungodly actions do not bother you and even when you do things that bother you you don't have the power to stop yourself from doing them however when the Holy Spirit begins to work in you you will discover that you are Interested in pleasing God you want to know how you can serve God better you want to know his will and how to collaborate with him to do it on Earth as the Holy Spirit Works in you he replaces your rebellious heart with a more comp iant spirit

that Rebellion you always demonstrated to the things of the spirit is now replaced with a newfound love for it and sometimes this can appear weird the natural mind may not get it your friends may even mock you or Call you crazy but that is just another sign that you are due for change of Association carnal Minds cannot understand the spiritual things and a spiritual man must befriend spiritual people so when you see this change in your life life know that you are not weird the Holy Ghost is working in your life he is affecting your

desires and changing your personality he is touching your choices and transforming your life Moment by moment another sign of the Work of the holy spirit in you is that you will notice certain spiritual gifts at work in you 1 Corinthians 12: 6-11 says there are different kinds of working but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work now to each one the manifestation of the spirit is given for the common good to one there is given through the spirit a message of wisdom to another a message of knowledge by

means of The Same Spirit to another Faith by The Same Spirit to Another Gifts of healing by that one Spirit to another miraculous powers to another prophecy to another distinguishing between spirits to another speaking in different kinds of tongues and to still another the interpretation of tongues all these are the work of one and the same spirit and he distributes them to each one just as he determines another of my favorite verses to back this up is 1st Samuel 10:6 the spirit of the Lord will come powerfully upon you and you will prophesy with them

and you will be changed into a different person this is it when the Holy Spirit begins to work in you you will demonstrate his abilities both in your character and in super natural demonstrations there are numerous gifts of the Spirit given for the work of God to prosper more and help us communicate the gospel to the Unsaved you may find yourself able to tell someone something about themselves that you never knew before and offer them Supernatural guidance on how to go about it that is the holy spirit working through you you may begin to have

special dreams and Visions having God communicate messages to you through them either for yourself or others around you you may find yourself able to pray more and intercede for others than you do for your own needs the list could go on Remember all these are signs that God is working something unique in your life through the Holy Spirit don't quell the Flames instead continue to allow him and cooperate with his working avoid things that will quench it and stay close to those things that trigger them and help you get used to their operation another sign

of the working of the Holy Spirit working in you is the demonstration of his fruits through you Galatians 5: 22- 23 but the fruit of the Spirit is love joy peace forbearance kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness and self-control against such things there is no law the work of the Holy Spirit In You stirs up an unexplainable force that lets each of the fruits of the spirit manifest through you you find out that you easily love and forgive others when you look at annoying people instead of getting mad and waiting to hurt them you feel sympathy for

them and a longing to See them know God and experience his Mercy same goes for Faith joy peace and every other character the benefit of these is that they help you really reveal that you have encountered Jesus Christ a Christian who does not have these fruits demonstrated in their lives may have question questionable Faith lastly on this video a wonderful sign that the holy spirit is working in your life is that he begins to send a special group of people to you these people may Come as colleagues at work schoolmates strangers at a coffee shop

cab drivers pastors or youth leaders or just anyone what will make them special is that there would be a special input they would bring into your life some correct ctions encouragement instructions education support and lots more all of their activities will help you draw closer to God get stronger in the faith and become more and more like Christ sometimes the process may be Challenging as some of them may use methods you are not used to however if you understand this you would appreciate your relationships with them and submit yourself to the work the holy spirit

is doing through them remember this the holy spirit is our greatest companion your greatest companion he not only wants to live in you he also wants to live through you and in order for him to do that he has to operate Like a Surgeon take some things away and put some Things in place anyone who allows him to have his way with them becomes better and better but those who refuse to allow him remain the same and grow weaker I encourage you to ask the Holy Spirit to not only come into your your heart but

to also teach you to recognize his inner workings in your life as well as the grace to cooperate with him as he does what is best in you in a world filled with many voices and many spirits who want to commune With you you have to listen when God's spirit speaks to your heart one of your greatest assets as a Christian is the holy spirit he's the means through whom God the Father communicates with you in your spirit either directly through the word or through other means sometimes the Lord may be speaking to you but

because you don't understand or know how to listen you may think he's silent the Bible says there are many Kinds of languages in this world and each one has meaning not one is useless it's also necessary to say that even in our relationship with God every word from God has a meaning an instruction a promise and an intention from God to us if we miss the meaning or main message when God speaks to our hearts we miss everything he aims to work in our lives I say this to all believers one of the main reasons

we wander and struggle Is because we hardly let God lead us in one of the most common ways God leads us his children is by speaking directly to our hearts how does God do this he speaks to our Spirits through his own Spirit living within us you see if you're a child of God the Holy Spirit lives inside you God does not need to come down to communicate with you he now lives inside you through his Spirit Jesus was talking about the holy Spirit with his disciples in John 161 12-15 I have much to say

to you more than you can now bear but when he the spirit of truth comes he will guide you into all the truth he will not speak on his own he will speak only what he hears and he will tell you what is Yet to Come he will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you all that belongs to the father is mine that is why I said the spirit will Receive from me what he will make known to you through the Holy Spirit the Lord

brings light into what the Bible says through the Holy Spirit the Lord will give you instruction regarding your decisions and how you ought to go about them let me walk you through this a little to be sure you know how the Lord will convey his words to you you see like I said earlier God speaks to his children through many Ways God can use different means to communicate with you than he does with another person some people may testify how God speaks to them through dreams or visions another person may say he speaks to them

through an audible voice as if someone's with them in the same room another may come and say they just sense a witness within their Spirits over something they can tell that it's God speaking to them about something whichever way God uses one Thing is clear regardless of how God speaks to each one of us we must know how to identify and pay attention when he speaks in one of the identifying marks of a Believer who's intimate with God is your ability to know when he speaks to you by Spirit Jesus said in John 10:27 my

sheep listen to my voice I know them and they follow me when you're close to someone you can easily identify their voice no matter Where you are I remember the first time I was meeting a close friend of mine whom I'd met online we'd known each other for years and share Great Moments however we'd never met each other face to face except through video calls and photographs yet it felt like we'd known each other for ages that day I arrived in the city late at night because of traffic jams and he had to come pick

me up from my cab stop when I saw him coming from a distance in The darkness I could tell he was the one even though I hadn't seen his face in the light yet all I could see was the silhouette of his image and that was enough that is the true power of in intimacy if you're close to someone you can recognize their voice and presence even if you can't see them do you know that you can get that intimate with God in fact do you know that God wants you to be that intimate with

him he wants you to know his presence and identify His voice he wants you to know how to differentiate between the voices of the world the voice of the devil and the voice of his spirit in your heart you may not know this but the devil also tries to speak to your heart just just like God does and this is exactly why you must listen and know to obey God when God's spirit is speaking to your heart if you can't you'll fall into many troubles Jesus said in John 103:5 the gatekeeper opens the gate for

Him and the Sheep listen to his voice he calls his own Sheep by name and leads them out when he has brought out all his own he goes on ahead of them and his sheep follow him because they know his voice but they will never follow a stranger in fact they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice in these verses Jesus was confirming that there will be voices of strangers who try to communicate with You but if you're his follower you won't pay attention to those voices but rather run

away from them when God's spirit speaks to you he communicates with your heart he doesn't speak to your your physical ears I believe that one reason most Believers struggle to hear God is because we want to hear him with our physical ears and that's not how God communicates you see the Bible says that God is a spirit and must be worshiped as One as a spirit he communicates with his children through their own Spirits when the spirit of God is communicating with you he uses the voice of your Consciousness sometimes this may sound like you're

the one thinking to yourself but the truth is that God's spirit is speaking to your heart now the devil can do this too but there are ways to tell if it's God's spirit speaking to your heart or the devil number one when God's spirit Speaks to your heart his words don't contradict what the Bible says this is the first and most important measure of God's word remember that when the devil tempted Jesus he quoted verses from the scriptures how did Jesus recognize encounter the deception he revealed that Satan was taking those verses out of context

you see not every word taken from the Bible and echoing in your heart is from God's spirit you need to be able To connect the words being said with the character and power of God the enemy or your flesh will not give your heart Inspirations that agree with the character of God for example when you hear a voice telling you to avenge yourself of a hurt that's not from God's spirit why because it doesn't agree with the character of God from the Bible that says vengeance is mine says the Lord the voice that tells you

not to Apologize when you're at fault is not from God's spirit either even if it backs you up with verses from the Bible why because it doesn't align with the character of the Holy Spirit which is love sacrifice and humility this is why you need to get close to your Bible the more you understand God's word the more you'll know about his character as the Bible tells us a lot about God and how he Operates develop your Bible reading and prayer habit the success of your journey with God depends on it number two when God's

spirit speaks to your heart his words come with peace and not anxiety another very important way to know God's voice is whenever he speaks to your heart you'll sense his peace as well God's word doesn't lead you to confusion or Panic instead Like A Gentle Wind it blows away anxiety and gives you Clarity and comfort no matter the situation involved the psalmist wrote in Psalm 858 I will listen to what God the Lord says he promises peace to his people his Faithful Servants but let them not turn to Folly what God may be instructing you

to do may seem difficult or even impossible to the human mind yet in your heart you'll have an assurance of Peace the Bible calls it a piece that passes all Understanding so how do you listen to God's spirit when he speaks to your heart one silence the outside noise the world is full of many voices so in order for you to create an atmosphere around yourself where you can easily listen to God's voice you need to learn to shut out the noise how do you do this give attention to the things that add more value

to your spiritual life instead of paying attention to the carnal things the more you feed your Spirit the stronger it gets and the stronger your spiritual sensitivity becomes the more your heart can hear God without confusion or Mix-Ups with other voices you can also silence the Noise by speaking the word of God out loud over yourself habitually make it a habit to always speak God's word and Promises over yourself you're more likely to hear God speak to your heart through the words you've been speaking over yourself just Like the devil uses the negativity in your

mind to speak to you too two spend time in prayer especially time praying in tongues the more time you spend praying in tongues the more you subdue your mind when you pray in tongues your mind mind isn't participating but your spirit is at that time God can speak to you and you'll hear this is one of the reasons the devil is constantly trying to influence Your prayer life negatively prayer is not just dashing in and dashing out it's communicating with God talking to and listening to God speak during prayer you can become silent in meditation

especially when you're fasting most times we we underestimate the power of fasting we think we should only fast when we have a big problem or need power but the truth is that fasting is meant To help you hear what God's saying and give your spirit more strength over the flesh if you're going to succeed in your Christian journey and in life as a whole dear Saint then you need to take these words to heart you have to start listening so that when God's spirit speaks to your heart you'll hear and you'll obey what do you

do when things get tough you know what they say tough times never last but tough people do and when The going gets tough only the tough get going however what do you do when it seems that you're not tough enough to outlast your current situation what does it take to develop a toughness that keeps you going when things get tough child of God I want you to know that the Lord your God and His word are the very reliable source for the life of Christians in good times and bad and the word of God clearly

tells us that tough Times and challenging seasons of Life are bound to come around however in the midst of them all we must remember that we have a God who will never leave our side knowing and believing this can make all the difference in your life I say this because it's possible for tough times to overwhelm you so much that you may begin to ask yourself if God is truly with you because it can look like he Isn't but you need to believe my friend you need to believe I read a quote by RC Sprout

that said the issue of faith is not so much whether we believe in God but whether we believe the God we believe in I'll say it again the issue of faith is not so much whether we believe in God but whether we believe the God we believe in you need to ask yourself that question yes I believe in the existence Of God yes I believe in his ability yes I believe that he's Sovereign and is all I need for life but do I believe him do I believe his person and his word and that he's

going to come through for me you see when I I went through a dark season of my life I experienced the same issue it wasn't like I stopped believing in God it wasn't like I stopped attending church or reading my Bible or even praying everything was still intact But the issue was that I was struggling to believe God himself regarding the things he said concerning my life why because I was overwhelmed with the tough times I was seeing the unfulfilled promises I was seeing the delayed expectations everything I thought would happen was not happening the

things I wanted to see weren't coming I believed in the existence power and love of God but deep within me I was struggling to Believe him for what he said and I questioned whether he would act in my life it took the grace of God and the inner working of his holy spirit within me to bring me to where I was willing to cling to him again come what may until he does whatever he pleases in my life it took God's help for me to embrace that as long as the Lord is with me I

am enough and I have everything I need this reminds me of the story of Daniel in the land of Babylon Daniel and His friends were captives in Babylon from Israel but somehow the Lord had caused them to Stand Out Among the rest and they had been promoted and greatly esteemed in the Kingdom of Babylon it seemed like things were going well until Daniel experienced an attack the Bible tells us that some other officials in the Kingdom became so envious of Daniel that they began to scheme different ways to bring him down even if it meant

taking his life but They wanted to do this without direct involvement my friend the world can be a cruel place and those you call colleagues may actually be the ones the enemy uses to make things difficult for you you may have done nothing but good for them only to be rewarded with evil completely abandoned by those who you thought were with you but let me encourage you that it won't always be this way because the one with you is greater than the one fighting against You just like Daniel experienced Daniel was facing enemies that he

had to deal with every day as he went about his business and because his hands were clean they couldn't find anything to accuse him of he was dilig and faithful in performing his duties so they couldn't use inefficiency to get him in trouble then they used his faith against him they made the king believe that all the officials had agreed that no one should pray to any deity except The king for 30 days anyone caught defaulting would be thrown into a Den of Lions the king probably thought that Daniel was in on it but he

was wrong the Bible tells us that once the decree was passed Daniel didn't let it stop him from staying devoted to God you see Daniel knew the consequences every time he prayed to God he knew that it may even mean that he could lose his life however he kept on praying and serving God until the King's Men came for him as Planned accused him before the king and had him thrown into the Den of Lions but was that the end did Daniel give up praying in fear for his life nope he didn't allow the threat

or toughness of the consequences change his Devotion to the Lord nothing changed for Daniel he was willing to continue serving God even if it meant he would not see tomorrow that didn't mean he didn't have any fears but he trusted in the promises Of God and had the courage to stay on God's side he lived in the peace of God and remained strong Under Pressure he believed that God was with him always and of course God spared his life he kept the lions from hurting Daniel and when the king came to check on him in

the morning he was perfectly fine he was taken out and his accusers were thrown into the den in his place dear child of God let us have faith like Daniel a faith that never Waivers circumstances should never dictate our faith in God's presence with us Paul said in Romans 8:31 1 to 33 What then shall we say in response to those things if God is for us who can be against us he who did not spare his own son but gave him up for us all how will he not also along with him graciously give

us all things who will bring any charge against Those whom God has chosen it is God who justifies the same God who justifies us From the accusations of sin also stands with us when things get tough what are you dealing with right now an eviction notice a family on the verge of breaking apart the threat of losing your job a sickness or some false accusation that's put you in a tight Corner making things difficult for you whatever it is I'm here to encourage you no matter how tough things are right now don't ever forget that

God is by your side I love the confidence that the Prophet Isaiah had in the face of the enemy as he declared God's word to them Isaiah 89 to10 raise the war cry you Nations and be shattered listen all you distant lands prepare for battle and be shattered prepare for battle and be shattered devise your strategy but it will be thwarted propose your plan but it will not stand for God is with us no one who witnesses a war ever wishes for it to happen again Wars bring Nothing but pain and trouble to people who

most likely have nothing to do with them in the first place many things are put on hold when there's war with war comes scarcity with war comes unrest and Chaos war is not a good thing however the servant of God stood and declared that even if the enemy prepared for a battle against him and the Lord's people even if they devised their Str y in the war room and propose their plan to hurt them it wouldn't Work what was behind his audacity why was he so confident for God Is With Us Emanuel is the name

that was given to Jesus and it means god with us through Jesus you and I have the Glorious blessings of having the ever abiding presence of the Living God in our hearts no matter where we are or what we may be going through Emmanuel God is with us Emmanuel you are never alone dear Believer God is with you Jeremiah wrote in Jeremiah 2011 but the Lord is with me like a mighty warrior so my persecutors will stumble and not Prevail they will fail and be thoroughly disgraced their dishonor will never be forgotten I need need

you to internalize those words over and over again in your heart but the Lord is with me like a mighty warrior so my persecutors will stumble and not Prevail they will fail And be thoroughly disgraced their dishonor will never be forgotten say it again but the Lord is with me like a mighty warrior so my persecutors will stumble and not Prevail they will fail and be thoroughly disgraced their dishonor will never be forgotten God is with you you don't have to feel it you don't have to necessarily see it with your physical eyes but he

is with you he is by your side and as you keep Holding on and trusting him he will reveal himself to you don't give up don't give in don't give out he's not done with you yet things may look like you're deluding yourself trusting in a god you aren't even sure is with you however keep believing him keep trusting him don't stop declaring what you believe don't stop saying it don't stop standing on the truth there's something that happens to You when you're convinced of God's presence it gives you the strength to Bear whatever you

face it strengthens your resolve and empowers you to keep standing even when all else falls apart even when it feels like you're in a tight corner and everything around you is screaming for you to compromise your faith to be free remember Daniel and stand your ground when we come to the end of ourselves God will take over glorifying His name and validating our trust in his infallible word be encouraged my friend even when things get tough know that you're never alone God Is by your side and will never leave you hold on for just a

little bit longer and keep the faith it will be worth it in the end when you study the Bible you'll discover that right from creation humans were intentionally created by God for himself and his pleasure this means that You did not originate under some mud or come from Mars like some people may say the Bible tells us that each one of us was created either male or female in the image of God Genesis 1: 26-28 says then God said let us make Mankind in our image in our likeness so that they may rule over the

fish in the sea and the birds in the sky over the livestock and all the wild animals and over all the creatures that move along the ground so God created Mankind in his own image in The image of God he created them male and female he created them God blessed them and said said to them be fruitful and increase in number fill the Earth and subdue it rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground I love how someone put this in

one of the videos I came across one time they said when God created every other thing he spoke to something for them to appear for example he spoke to the Earth And plants and trees came forth he spoke to the water and aquatic creatures were formed how ever when it came to man the Bible says God spoke to himself as the Trinity the father Son and Holy Spirit and it records that he made man after his image and likeness hence everything is made a creature connected to a source which in turn becomes their natural habit

and without which they would not survive God Is Man's natural habitat and that is why the Bible tells us that we Are like dead beings without God as long as we walk in our own ways I love this because helps us see how much we need God in our lives even more than we know you see after creating Man In His Image God breathed his own life into him if you read further in Genesis you will see that man was God's Fellowship partner he frequently visited Adam and was the source of Adam's empowerment you will

see that empowerment when Adam named all the animals God brought to him knowing Their names without God telling him what they were supposed to be called he also demonstr rated that even though he was in a deep sleep when Eve was created when he woke up and saw her he could tell she had come from him and even called her woman for the first time however when they both fell from glory and lost their place in Eden Humanity was plunged into a life without God's presence and became subject to the Dominion and control of the

devil but Through the death and Redemptive work of Jesus Christ on the cross the Bible tells us that we are restored to open with God and the spirit of God can now live in us again you see the holy spirit is the third person of the Trinity he is the demonstration of the multifaceted nature of God that is able to step down and live in our natural bodies without completely consuming us I believe all these things demonstrate the love of God for his most prized possession mankind You and me you see if you read through

the Bible you will see how ordinary people became extraordinary when the presence of God Came Upon them they became literal carriers of God everywhere they went people could tell there was something extraordinary about them the Patriarchs of Faith Abraham Isaac and Jacob demonstrated this even in the midst of famine they thrived when pharaoh and ailec tried to take Sarah away from Abraham God took it personally And came for them when laan went after Jacob to try to hurt him God warned him in the night to be careful what he said to him when Joseph's own

brothers sold him into slavery out of jealousy over his dreams of greatness the Bible tells us that because God was with him he enjoyed favor even as a slave and a prisoner I could continue but I'm sure you get the point I hope to use the message in this video to encourage you to seek after God's presence until you Become a carrier too please understand from that the moment you become a child of God his Spirit comes to to live inside of you however even though the spirit of God lives inside of you you need

to receive more of his presence so there is an overflow to those around you so that you can be considered a carrier let me give you an example the Bible says that we have the spirit of God as a guarantee of our inheritance Ephesians 1: 13-14 says and You also were included in Christ when you heard the message of Truth The Gospel of your salvation when you believed you were marked in him with a seal the promised Holy Spirit who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the Redemption of those who are God's possession to

the praise of his glory this happens at the new birth but there is another outpouring that creates an overflow of the same spirit that is beyond just us making our lives notable To others this is what happened on the day of Pentecost when the disciples gathered in the upper room and the spirit ascended as a mighty rushing wind when he rested on them the Bible says that they began to speak in other tongues giving glory to God the same timid Peter who denied Jesus a few days before stood before a crowd of thousands and boldly

proclaimed the gospel leading 4,000 to Christ that my friend is evidence of the overflowing spirit of God in you then as recorded in Acts the Bible tells us that they gathered to Pray Again and the place shook they were filled with the spirit again and they began to speak in other tongues preaching the gospel with boldness despite being threatened by the religious leaders these are evident signs that you have become a carrier of God's presence nothing can stop you because you are overwhelmed by someone greater than what is before You do you remember 1 John

chapter 4 ver4 you dear children are from God and have overcome them because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world let me list some signs that will accompany you when you carry the spirit of God's presence overflowing in your life number one when you carry the spirit of God's presence in your life you will discover a deeper sense of confidence in God that produces boldness in the face of frightening or uncertain Situations this was evidence in the lives of people like Abraham David Joseph Moses and the

disciples in fact at one time when people saw the boldness and wisdom of the disciples knowing that they were Ordinary People they knew that this was the handiwork of Jesus they concluded that they had spent time with Jesus the Bible even tells us that when the spirit lives in us he will Quicken our natural bodies supernaturally my friend you need to ask For Grace to spend more time with the Lord until people can tell that what they see in you is not natural the many distractions in the world may feel exciting but they are robbing

you of the wonderfilled life of being God's vessel to the world and the price is straightforward spend more and more time with Jesus number two when you carry God's presence you will see certain Supernatural manifestations in your life The Bible calls these manifestations of God the gifts of the Spirit the gift of God is actually the overflowing of God's presence with someone touching the lives of those around him or her did you notice how someone touched Jesus's clothing and received healing without Jesus even laying hands on her did you also notice how Peter's Shadow healed

people when he walked past them on the street how about handkerchiefs taken from Paul's body healing people David's Slingshot killing the Giant Goliath in one strike Joseph interpreting Pharaoh's dream easily or Daniel being able to tell King Nebuchadnezzar his dream and and its interpretation without being told any details all of these are not human Works they are the results of people who became vessels for the spirit of God when you stood before them they were ordinary men like you however what made them great was that wherever they went They Carried God and In God's Presence

everything is possible I pray that these words are stirring up a hunger in your heart for more of God's presence in your life honestly our world today needs More Than Just Words of identification with Christ they need to start feeling God in our lives but we cannot give what we do not even have can we number three when you carry God's presence people will feel more comfortable to share their personal issues with you and Will testify that they feel safer talking with you when I was younger I once heard people say this about men and

women of Faith whom I admired so I began to seek this effect to until I heard people say it about me I didn't practice anything it was just the outflowing of God in Me This is what happened with the woman at the well and Jesus she probably wouldn't tell strangers about herself so easily but she did with the Savior why there was something soothing loving and Peaceful about him if you ever hear this know that it's not you but the presence of God that you carry number four Joseph is proof that when you carry God's

presence you will see favor the Bible says that when a person's ways please God he would make even the person's enemies to live peacefully with him Joseph was a slave yet he was promoted to chief steward over his master's home when he was wrongfully Accused by the Master's wife and imprisoned he found Favor before the prison keeper and his fellow prisoners this favor would go on to speak for him before Pharaoh give him the opportunity to use his gifts to interpret the King's dream and save thousands of lives people are bound to help you when

you carry God's presence number five another sign of God's presence in your life is that you are sensitive to sin and uncomfortable when you see any sin in your life or around you anyone who enjoys the presence of Sin or enjoys the practice of sin is one who lacks the presence of God no matter how attractive sin is you will find that you are continually Restless even when you sin you will not find peace until you seek mercy and repent this is a sign that you carry God's presence final point on these signs is that

your heart will always swell with compassion for others especially the unbeliever or the helpless you will find yourself less judgmental and more truthful and always Think of how to contribute to their transformation it will always break your heart to see people on their way to hell and away from Jesus now the word of God clearly draws the picture of how to nurture and accommodate more of the spirit of God's presence in our lives give yourself time in prayer and fasting give yourself to studying and meditating on the word share your faith with others when you

do these things you are opening yourself up To the spirit of God's presence as a channel for him to touch the world around you these are not things you do once or twice and expect to see manifestations they must be become your lifestyle you must ask that God help you to love him and seek Him genuinely until you become a worthy vessel for his use don't ask him to make you his vessel because you want to have power that is a selfish desire and God will not honor it however with a pure heart after God

the More you open yourself to God's presence you will realize that demonstrating to others is just one benefit of God's presence with you the main benefit is that you are constantly enjoying fellowship with him where he protects you teaches you strengthens you in your time of weakness and comforts you in moments of pain what to do when you mess up when failing to meet the expectations of Faith leaves you feeling guilty and Weighed down by defeat as long as you are alive and in this body on Earth you are a work in progress the holy

spirit is constantly working on you to bring you into Perfection so you must realize that as you go through this process you'll have moments of failure you will fail sometimes and make mistakes not because you love making mistakes but because of the limitations of the sinful nature you have been saved from but still live with you see Satan has Capitalized on this situation to keep many Believers enslaved either to their downfall or to the guilt of it he is that cunning slave master who uses any means to keep those under him in their chains he

knows you have been set free by Christ but he wants you entangled again with the yolks of bondage Paul wrote in Galatians chapter 5:1 it is for Freedom that Christ has set us free stand firm then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke Of slavery so if you are struggling with the weight of guilt and constantly feeling unworthy or even feeling like the Christian walk is beyond you and you are about to give up this is a message from God to you there is a way out what should you do when

you mess up before I tell you this permit me to explain a true Concept in Christianity don't let the devil or anyone deceive you into thinking that God's grace overlooks anything you do and so there is no need To watch the way you live this is a lie and a deception from Hell meant to enslave and Lead many Believers to destruction it is true that the grace of God is sufficient and makes it possible for us to approach God regardless of our status and to have hope that he will always forgive us but you need

to realize two things one that although forgiveness and mercy is available to everyone it can only be experienced by those who ask for it so just like Salvation people are not saved only because Jesus died but when they acknowledge his finished work and receive him into their hearts as Lord and their personal savior in Repentance this means if you continue to mess up with the mindset that Grace is available without genuinely asking for both that grace and mercy for yourself you are abusing it two portions of scripture talk about this Romans 6: 1-2 what shall

we say then shall we go On sinning so that Grace may increase by no means we are those who have died to sin how can we live in it any longer 2 Corinthians 6: 1-3 says we then as workers together with him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain for he says in an acceptable time I have heard you and in the day of salvation I have helped you behold now is the accepted time behold now is the day of salvation we give no offense in anything that our ministry

may not be Blamed I have seen genuine believers who have been taught to reject the Epistles especially those of the Apostle Paul because they say he sounded too legalistic however Paul's writing established the New Testament order of Christian conduct the foundation of which was already laid down by the Lord Jesus himself as well as by the Old Testament scriptures Paul doesn't give you his own laws but rather outlines through Practical and personal means the moral and spiritual code of conduct we should uphold for the sake of our love for our Lord and Savior Jesus for

instance we saw from scriptures how Samson kept on breaking God's law because he felt he was Exempted but he was wrong his sins finally caught up with him and his life was cut short Saul the king did the same in fact he even asked the prophet Samuel who came to scold him to respect him in the presence of those listening of Course he was displaced from the throne and died a shameful death David committed sins as well but unlike Samson or Saul he was always asking for mercy and Grace and his life is a testament

of one who grew through God's mercy and kindness he wrote in Psalms 18:35 you have also given me the shield of your salvation your right hand has held me up your gentleness has made me great so if you keep living the way you want thinking that grace and mercy are Automatically going to cover everything please think again yes sometimes you you may not even know you've messed up this is where the spirit of God within you gives you the nudge that something is off and needs your attention the holy spirit will always point out your

sins to you nothing is hidden from him secondly apart from the grace of God being available to help us obtain Mercy from God when we mess up it is not a license to sin but an empowerment to be Holy in other words Grace did not come to encourage you to live the way you want without regard to the righteous standards of God instead Grace has appeared to all men to teach and Empower us to live holy lives worthy of God and of the sacrifice of Jesus Titus 2: 11-14 says for the grace of God has

appeared that offers salvation to all people it teaches us to say no to ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-control Upright and godly lives in this present age while we wait for the blessed hope the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself of people that are his very own eager to do what is good these two things are important in understanding what to do when you mess up firstly that God's grace though it is

available to all both good and bad requires you to seek it With an honest desire for it to work in your life secondly that the Great grace and mercy of God is not a license to live immoral lives or ungodly lives but to teach and Empower us to live in a Godly way in an ungodly World knowing this what should you do when you mess up or the Holy Spirit draws your attention to a mistake or sin in your life one acknowledge your error at once without excuse or logical explanations and ask for God's mercy

the Bible says in Proverbs 28:13 whoever conceals their sins does not Prosper but the one who confesses and renounces them finds Mercy when you have treated someone badly accommodate an evil or impure thought or said something you weren't supposed to say once the Lord brings this to light before you the first thing to do is to acknowledge that you have sinned this is one of the most common problems among Believers and it is a problem of Pride You shouldn't be proud don't try to trick God because you can't don't blame it on your environment your

offender or the way you were raised yes you may be right but the true Mark of Brokenness before God is our humble response to his Corrections Isaiah 66:2 says for all those things my hand has made and all those things exist says the Lord but on this one will I look on him who is poor and of a contrite spirit and who trembles at my Word this is what made David so special once his wrongs were brought before him he didn't try to blame anyone else he took full responsibility for it and began to seek

mercy and forgiveness this is the first step to repentance you have not truly repented if you do not acknowledge what the holy spirit is showing you two ask for grace and make conscious efforts to avoid repetition of the same error don't just acknowledge that what you did is wrong Go on to ask for Grace to not go back to it yes the Bible tells us that God is always faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness however it also warns us to steer clear of the paths of sin because sin

only leads to death and not to life James 1: 14-15 says but each person is tempted when they are dragged Away by their own evil desire and enticed then after death has conceived it gives birth to sin and sin when it is Full grown gives birth to death repentance means to make a U-turn from one thing and to never go back to it truth is no one can repent by their own power you may have noticed this in your own life maybe you once resolve not to ever speak in a certain manner because you know

it must grieve the Holy Spirit only for you to find yourself doing it twice over it can be quite frustrating however when the grace of God comes into play it begins to work in You with an Ability Beyond yourself you may even begin to realize that all of a sudden you begin to lose interest in the things you once couldn't do without yes you may have heard someone share this testimony it isn't the work of resolve but of Grace ask for it and be honest about repenting making conscious efforts to avoid repetition of sin may

require you to avoid going to certain places watching or listening to certain things or meeting with certain people Sometimes these things or people may not be completely tagged bad but if they trigger sin you must avoid them for the Salvation of your own soul talk to someone about your struggles too find someone you can trust in whom you believe can share wisdom and wise counsel with you this gives you a sense of accountability and keeps you on your toes regarding the issue at hand it is a great way to deal with messes that are constantly

raising up their heads in Your life three break free from the guilt God does not hold your confessed and forsaken sin against you neither does he use your guilt as a weapon against you all that is the work of the devil you must not start calling yourself a sinner because you are not one a sinner plans practices and enjoys sin a saint May mess up but he or she will never be comfortable in it that's the difference between us our Natures you must REM remind yourself That God's word says that when we confess our sins

he forgives us and cleanses us from them leaving us spotless as if they were never committed then it further adds that he forgets them Hebrews 8:12 says for I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins No More Jesus said that whoever the son sets free is free indeed so one of the things to do when you mess up after you've sought mercy and talked to God about his Grace for You is to reject the feeling of guilt in other words forgive yourself after God forgives you self-imprisonment is the greatest bondage you can ever

put on yourself don't let the enemy make you do this to yourself there is more awaiting you on this walk with God it is not a matter of whether you fall but of what happens next someone once said when you fall make sure to fall backwards why so that you can keep your eyes on God while you do for then you can remember to call On him to save you from your failure the more you look to your needs and limitations the more you'll be stuck with him but the more you look to Jesus the

author and finisher of your faith the more you'll depend on him and walk in his light no matter how many times you fall this is why it is called the fight of faith it is a fight to remain in the faith Satan is not aiming to make a Believer fall once his aim is to use that fall to plant a seed of Hopelessness in the believer's heart until the believer quits on God don't give up on God my friend the enemy does not have the last laugh in this fight get up from your mess and

embrace your salvation for though the righteous falls seven times he will rise again eight times don't quit or remain in your mess you are a miracle and your failures today are testimonies for tomorrow how do you tell a spiritual attack from a regular setback how do you Know if what you just experienced was coming from another person or from Satan attacking you from the natural standpoint it can be quite difficult to tell when you are truly under a spiritual attack in this video I will share some biblical signs that will help you identify spiritual attacks

so that you can know how to deal with them what is a spiritual attack simply put a spiritual attack is an attack by the enemy against a child of God with the Intention to steal kill and destroy in John 10:10 Jesus tells us about the source of spiritual attacks the devil the thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy I have come that they may have life and have it to the full and the Apostle Peter in his own Epistles told us to stay on guard because the enemy is always roaming about seeking someone

to pounce on 1 Peter 5: 8-9 be alert and of sober mind your enemy the devil prows around like a roaring lion Look looking for someone to devour resist him standing firm in the faith because you know that the family of Believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings so whenever you see something in your life which the Holy Spirit or the word of God clearly doesn't align you are under a spiritual attack even though that thing looks or feels easy sweet or good here are some biblical signs to watch out for

so that You can properly identify and deal with spiritual battles the right way number one you are under constant exposure to Temptations and sinful Tendencies a Christian who is in a position where someone or something is constantly and easily laring them to sin is under a spiritual attack you see the devil knows that he cannot possess a Christian why because a Christian is occupied by the spirit of God the Holy Spirit two contrary Spirits cannot live in a single Person light and darkness cannot coexist however the Christian has a challenge even though the devil cannot

possess you he can manipulate deceive and oppress a Believer to try to make them do the thing he would have easily made them do if he could possess them the devil will always try different means to divide your focus and test Your Allegiance he wins the fight each time he successfully gets you to do what he wants and displease God how does the enemy send You Temptations He will use those things that appeal to your Fallen nature to the flesh for some people it's sex for some it's lust for power or money for others it

could be greed James 1: 14-15 says but each person is tempted when they are dragged Away by their own evil desire and enticed then after desire has conceived it gives birth to sin and sin when it is full grown gives birth to death he knows that these things are Powerful and damaging when they get a hold on you he also knows that it will take help Beyond yourself to resist those things because they are things your flesh craves you have to resist that temptation to watch sexual content on your phone or computer you have to

resist that urge to engage in sexual relations with someone you are not married to you must resist that urge to steal or falsify those documents you have to your Victory as a Christian Depends on it and God has given you the authority of the name of Jesus James 4:7 says so submit to the authority of God resist the devil stand firm against him and he will flee from you I know it is naturally difficult but that is why you have the Holy Spirit to comfort you in the storm don't worry about how Fierce the pressure

is if you can trust the Holy Spirit to sustain you in resisting the devil for long enough the Temptation will pass and the enemy will flee from You now number two someone you are connected with directly or indirectly is influencing you to compromise your faith and God's instructions the Bible calls Christian Warfare the fight of faith it is the contest between the Christian their flesh and the devil the enemy's goal is to devour you and in order to do that he needs to get you to cast aside your faith the Bible encourages us to be

on guard for this your faith is your treasure that you must protect it will Reward you if you stand in it until the end for the Christian the faith is not only about confessing belief in God but of how that conviction influences our daily lives in agreement with the word of God hence a sign that the kingdom of darkness is attacking you is that Satan is using someone or something in your life to influence your negativity the Bible warns us not to be unequally yolked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6: 14-15 says Do not be yoked

together with unbelievers for what do righteousness and wickedness have in common or what Fellowship can light have with Darkness what Harmony is there between Christ and bile or what does a Believer have in common with an unbeliever yolks in themselves are not bad what makes a yoke dangerous is that being behind it when you are yolked to Christ in the Holy Spirit you are in a partnership with God and are headed in the direction of glory And well-being but if you are yolked to an unbeliever such a partnership is a burden for which Satan is

responsible I like to imagine being unequally yolked as having a Yol placed on a mature cow and a small goat there is such a difference between these two animals that the job or Journey would be difficult for them to make together it would even be better if they were by themselves yoking them together would wear them out 10 times faster than if They were both the same height today you have people in positions where they influence a multi ude of people especially young people influences can be from Friends social media personalities celebrities movies and preachers

if anyone in your life is constantly influencing you to go contrary to what God's word says and you seem powerless to go against them because of how much respect love or value you have placed on them you are Yolked if you do not deal with this you are soon to wear yourself out spiritually in struggling and will Embrace their lifestyle against God's plan for you this is a spiritual warfare that you must protect yourself against and deal with how by cutting off your attachment and breaking their influence over you God is not showing you what

to do with your relationship with unbelievers because you shouldn't love them on the contrary you must know that Love is not approval of everything that you love someone does not mean you will allow them to kill your children you would protect your baby at all cost the Bible tells us to protect our hearts with all diligence because our lives depend on it if your relationship with anyone starts going against your belief in God's instructions concerning you then you must make the decision to disconnect from them your salvation and soul come first don't keep a friend

and Lose your soul number three you are receiving a miracle breakthrough or power when you know you are not ready to handle it God blesses his children with Miracles power open doors and break throughs but Satan also does the same the difference is that of course they are not on the same level whatever God gives you is good and will add value to your life but whatever the enemy brings into your life will bring nothing but evil and Destruction James 1: 17 says every good and perfect gift is from above coming down from the father

of the Heavenly lights who does not change like shifting shadows in Proverbs 10:22 says the blessing of the the Lord makes one rich and he adds no sorrow with it before God brings you into any position gives you any power or causes you to experience a breakthrough he will first prepare you for it God never gives you something he hasn't prepared or equipped you for if You get what you want and don't know what to do with it you may abuse it and it might destroy you there is a time for everything a man of

God once said not all doors are opened by God even prisons have doors some open doors have led many people into captivity yes God delivers and protects his children even when they fall into such dangers yet it is important that we are on guard so that we can know how to read the signs whether God is responsible for a Blessing or not it is not good to always rush into every opportunity that presents itself to you and often times it is not from God if it puts so much pressure on you takes away your peace

or appears as if you will gain many things at the detri of your time with God service to his kingdom or obedience to his word so whether you have just been given a position of power which you can see that you are not mature enough to handle or perhaps you are getting offers That look like answers to prayers but you know it will require sacrificing following Jesus your spiritual character or values or your spirituality as a whole to handle it then you must not give into it peace and grace are proof that what you have

been given though heav is still from God and he will strengthen you to do it anxiety fear abuse and instability are proof that something didn't come from God and it wants to destroy you reject Satan's Offer don't be Hasty to get into the blessings of God he promised it let him fulfill it not you wait on the Lord and He will honor those who do number four the things you are seeing in God's word and according to his Visions for you seem Out Of Reach even though they have come around you I had to put

this in at the last minute because it is an issue Believers everywhere are dealing with one spiritual warfare or another some people come from a family line where no One gets married and those who do Never Last some are coming from families where people die of one disease or another once they reach 30 some are watching their children go from obedient and God-fearing to rebellious and arrogant before their very eyes I could go on now please note that sometimes God may allow certain things to happen so that he can carry out his plan for you

however the word of God has told us clearly that God does not bring evil on his children Circumstances may be hard but they will never be evil it is not God's promise for your children to die at a young age or from doing drugs it's not God's promise that you will lose your life the day of your breakthrough it is not God's will that you have to spend money on sickness that comes any time you receive money that my friend is the devil and you are in a spiritual warfare you must rise up and rebuke

the devil over your life family and health in the name of Jesus or else he will continue to have a field day in this Warfare you are not fighting to beat the devil because Christ has already done that what you are doing is enforcing what God has said over you against what the devil is doing you have to pray fast if you have to but pray standing on God's promises concerning his children thus you are submitting to God's Authority then you can resist the devil and command him to leave your life loved ones and Possessions

alone and he will lastly number five you are sleeping spiritually most believers do not know this but spiritual Slumber is a thing that's right when a Christian is sleeping spiritually here are some things that will show it one they will lack spirit sensitivity they won't be able to tell where when or how God is moving in or around their lives two they will lose spiritual interests things like prayer studying The word fasting attending church or engaging in Kingdom activities will no longer stir them they will have an excuse to avoid them or to rush through

them without any heart three because they are insensitive at that time they will always deny that they are under an attack from the devil Jesus self warned us to make sure that we are awake so that when he returns we won't have dozed off and let go of things we were supposed to hold on to until the end This does not mean that you should consider everything around you as Warfare against you but it also doesn't mean you should walk around with your guard down the Lord has warned us to stay on guard at all

times for a reason the devil is always on the move and you must be intentional about standing in the victory of Christ when you are awake you you will notice that complacency is creeping in disinterest in the things of God is creeping in lust is attempting to Grab hold of you or a person is obviously sent by the devil and you will rise up and deal with him that's why we have the Holy Spirit he rises up through us and nullify Satan's attacks on us we must therefore not be sleeping so that we do not

miss these signs nor miss the spirit when he rises in us what is the benefit of pain does God derive pleasure from seeing you go through pain and suffering not at all yet even if life takes us through Painful events God has promised to make something beautiful out of your pain Rick Warren once said your greatest ministry will most likely come out of your greatest hurt this statement captures the entire idea of how life can change once our perspectives change when you understand that God will always use your pain to prepare you for greater things

you will trust him even when you have every reason to cry out in Frustration one common debate I find unreasonable especially among Believers is if God is responsible for painful situations or if he only allows good situations and something is wrong when we go through a difficult time well there are many explanations for both however after personal time pondering on the subject I concluded that whether God is behind my pain or not I won't worry over it I would rather choose to trust in his love for me and Believe that whether I go through fire

or through high water I will overcome them I learned this by observing the lives of the four Hebrew boys who were captives in Egypt Daniel Shadrach meach and Abednego for one these boys among many other Israelites had been taken from their homes and from their lands their cities had been destroyed and their loved ones were probably dead as if this was not painful enough they were separated from other family members to Be recruited into the King's Service they would have to look at the face of the man who took their homes and families away from

them and serve him every day reading the first few chapters of the Book of Daniel we can notice their Devotion to God though we can't tell what they felt we can tell what they believe believed they still believed in living for God no matter where life took them don't forget they were captives because God was punishing The entire nation for idolatry I want you to note that during God's Judgment of Israel by captivity some of the people who were taken captive or killed by the invading Nations probably didn't worship any Idol Daniel and his friends

were probably some such people here they were in captivity but that didn't matter matter to them they kept their eyes on their God being willing to trust his faithfulness as they devoted themselves To him we saw from the beginning how God started showing up for them and confirming their trust Daniel 1: 17 to these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding for all kinds of literature and learning and Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds this was after these young men asked to be Exempted from the king's dishes which included foods that

were customarily Forbidden from the Israelites according to the law of Moses don't forget they were in captivity but in that captivity they were becoming greater than they were before it God was using their current situation to break limits in their lives and open them up to new possibilities if you read further you can see how these young men were willing to trust God even when their lives were on the line I Love how they answered the King when he threatened to burn them if they didn't bow down to his golden statue these guys had been

faithful and excellent officials and they had brought nothing but profit to the king however when they were put in an impossible situation where they had to choose between their Devotion to God and their life they chose their devotion Daniel 3:16 through1 18 says Shadrach meach and Abednego replied to Him King Nebuchadnezzar we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter if we are thrown into the Blazing furnace the God we serve is able to Deliver Us from it and he will Deliver Us from your Majesty's hand but even if he does not

we want you to know your majesty that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up can you see their resolve have you ever been burned by something hot or Mistakenly put your hand into a fire I have and oh boy is it painful whatever pain you feel when you place your hand in a fire is nothing compared to being thrown into a fiery furnace that had been heated seven times hotter than usual yet as they stared at the flames and possibly at their deaths these young men remained

unshaken they trusted in God's flawless plans for their lives they trusted in God's sovereignty over life and death they believed that God Would save them and if he chose not to that would not change their Devotion to him when you read the story further you can see that they were thrown into the Flames but came out unscathed whatever your own path is I want you to know that God can and will use that pain to prepare you for greater things and guess what after their miraculous deliverance from the fire these young men were promoted not

only were they promoted the king Issued a decree that recognized their faith in the whole Kingdom of Babylon listen that you are going through a hard time does not mean that God has left you just because all you've come to know and gotten used to is pain upon pain does not mean that God does not have a plan for your life it is time to change perspective take your eyes off of the pain and focus on the plan you may not know the details of the plan but if you know the planner You can rest

assured that it will turn out well what makes a man a soldier do you become a soldier because you identify as one does a man become a soldier because that has always been his fantasy and he goes to a store to buy uniforms or guns used by soldiers none of these makes a man a soldier a a man is made a soldier when he goes through the process that makes soldiers this process breaks and Reshapes him completely his mind and body change and he becomes a soldier he leaves everything behind he loses things so that

he can gain something greater the honor of representing and protecting his nation and everyone he cares about but the process is never easy his trainers don't go easy on him the drills are tough the days and nights are long soldiers are subjected to some of the worst conditions possible is it to kill them no instead it's to awaken something Greater in them by the time they're done a soldier can face anyone and anything he becomes more than the man he was when he first got there and that change will stay with him for Life dear

child of God God can do all things and there is no impossibility with him however there are are a few things he cannot do one of them is he cannot lie when God speaks he is bound to do it when he speaks his words are absolute and true when he speaks he backs up his words with his Integrity today I am reminding you that although you do not see or understand it right now this pain in your life is being used to prepare you for greater things is your relationship going through a hard time are

you having to deal with a difficult workplace boss academic Journey or anything else God sees your tears and as much as he wants to see you happy he sees the bigger picture this is a journey and you are going through a phase and if everything Has a beginning then surely there is an end the Bible says in Proverbs 23:18 there is surely a future hope for you and your hope will not be cut off surely there is an end a future for you my friend keep that expectation that dream and that hope in your heart

alive don't let it die don't lose Faith you don't get to the top from the top you don't climb a mountain from the summit you start from the bottom while at the bottom climbing the mountain may seem Impossible but each climb draws you closer to the top whether you know it or not David wrote in Psalm 66:12 you let people ride over our heads we went through fire and water but you brought us to a place of abundance can you imagine God letting people ride over the heads of those who trust him can you imagine

God promising you a peaceful future and then sending you into the fire and into the Waters of Life however all of these are pathways to greater things they are Pathways to abundance your tears are not wasted my friend your prayers are not lost God has not forgotten you his words are true and I have just shown you examples and testimonies of that truth let your faith come alive gather yourself back together and Trust God's plan there is a bigger picture and in that picture you work 10 times better 10 times stronger and 10 times wiser

than in This maybe you're asking I believe but I don't know how to trust God through my pain the answer is found in his word they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength they shall Mount up with wings as eagles they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk and not faint Isaiah 40: 31 the answer is to wait on the Lord that that is how you trust him with your pain don't be Hasty about seeking relief and comfort sometimes those are traps by The enemy to compromise you compromise is a

thief of the Christian's reward it makes you lose things you worked for and earned over time only to give up on them at the last minute rather stay with God's promise to you do not stop praying do not stop praising God God is always watching us to see how we handle our pain and praise in the midst of pain is one of the greatest ways to show faith and trust in God praise takes our attention off of the Pain and trouble and praise focuses us on the integrity and faithfulness of God who is able to

change things do not stop sharing your faith and standing for Jesus don't stop reading the Bible every day don't stop meditating on God's promises to you don't stop serving in your local church and supporting others in their own process as you continue in these things despite your own challenges and pain God will begin to work something inside of You over time that work will reveal itself thereby making you a living walking testimony of God's faithfulness just like Job in the Bible I pray that God will clothe you with his peace this season and strengthen your

weary heart to keep trusting and holding on to him until his great plan is fulfilled in your life my best memories of my parents have to be the little times I spent with my father and all the words he said to me He was not around all the time like other regular fathers were but if there was anything I missed about my father it was the little times we spent together and I remember everything almost everything he told me my father would take me to the farm on Sundays while the whole family went to church

we would spend the morning going around his Farms his crops his animals and birds and those solemn and quiet times with my father always turned out to be lecture Times my father told me so many stories but every time he used those opportunities to tell me about my history my ancestry and the cultures of my people very important stuff that shaped my Outlook on my people and my culture fast forward a few years later and my dad got sick and died the next love I have felt close enough to my fathers is the Holy Spirit

the way my father would tell me important things about my people and my Heritage the Holy Spirit does too and the spirit of God does me even better because he tells me important things that are not just relevant in the physical manifestation but also about happenings in the spiritual realm the holy spirit of God wants to tell you something important about your self and the plans of God all you need to do most times is tune in to the spirit and listen to instructions guidance reprimands and commendations from Him I know the question on some

of your minds is who the holy spirit is if you follow this teaching to its end you will get to know the spirit of God and also be able to glimpse into some of the important things he wants to tell you so who is the Holy Spirit and what has he come to do in our lives one the holy spirit is a helper Jesus while speaking to his disciples in the Book of John 14 25-26 said to them these things I have Spoken to you while being present with you but the helper the Holy Spirit

whom the father will send in my name he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you the holy spirit of God wants to tell you important things that will help you by our strength shall no man Prevail men have tried in the past perhaps you too have tried on your own in the past and nothing came of it listen to the Holy Spirit Jesus said to his disciples that The spirit of God was going to come and help them and oh how much help he rendered two

the the holy spirit is a power source in the book of Acts 1:8 Jesus says but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you will witness to me in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the Earth the holy spirit is the socket into which you connect to power from above the information the Holy Spirit transfers to You can be translated into physical manifestations or into spiritual Powers as the need arises are you weak in your body is your spirit man weak from the battles

of Life the holy spirit is a source of power for recreation and Rejuvenation three the holy spirit is the hub for all information the Bible says these three Spirits God the Father made the Manifest in his son Jesus Christ and the third The Holy Spirit have dwelt together as one since before creation was conceived so the Holy Spirit has every piece of information about creation time space and the future there's no information in the world that will escape the holy spirit because the spirit of God exists in a realm where nothing is hidden or can

be hidden from him the book of 1 Corinthians 21-11 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit the spirit searches all Things even the Deep things of God for who knows a person's thoughts except their own Spirit within them in the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the spirit of God four the Holy Spirit leads you to the truth and knowledge of all things we just said a few moments ago that the Holy Spirit spirit is the custodian of all information because he was there before during and

will be here even after the world passes away the Bible also says in John 16 13 that but when he the spirit of truth comes he will guide you into all the truth he will not speak on his own he will speak only what he hears and he will tell you what is yet to come the amount of information in the Holy Spirit has become yours to access at need to gain the truth about your life and about God's plans for you God says his people perished for the lack of wisdom and wisdom is found

only in the truth now The Holy Spirit leads and guides you into the knowledge of that wisdom the only way you can confront the lies the devil keeps telling you about your financial State your health status and your emotional level is to attack them with the truth which the holy spirit will lead you into when the doctor says there's cancer in your body you confront that information with the truth which says our body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit and God does not dwell in a sick Temple the reason why many of us are

going through the situations we are faced with in life presently is that we have not gotten the right information about that challenge believe me there are people in the world who are currently going faced with the same societal problems as you but are not actually going through them because the holy spirit of God has given them information that helps them to avoid the mistakes that will lead into That situation the kingdom of God is ruled by righteousness and principles by which everything operates hear me child of God the Holy Spirit wants to to tell you

important things that are close to the heart of your father Jesus Christ you might have lent your ears to the devil for too long and he has filled them with so many lies and deceit but I'm telling you now that the holy spirit is interested in telling You deep and important things in the Book of Daniel 2:22 the Bible says it is he who reveals the profound and hidden things he knows what is in the darkness and the light dwells with him there is nothing hidden from God anywhere he knows it all he sees it

before it happens your life is not a surprise to him he made you the toys I took the best care of while growing up were the ones I made myself I would treat everything else as I did all The others save the ones I made myself I would clean them polish them and oil them from time to time because I made them and they meant so much to me so also is your life in the hands of God he made you and so for your own benefit the Holy Spirit searches the very depths of the

world and God to bring to you important information and lessons that will put your life on a better Course once again you only have to listen to Him how does the Holy Spirit tell you things the first time I had an encounter with the Holy Spirit through a clear voice in my ears I freaked out I opened my eyes and started looking around me trying to see if someone whispered in my ears and when I realized it was the Holy Spirit I was scared the holy spirit of God will tell you things in so many

ways that you only have to be observant keep your Discerning Spirit sharp and keep your ears open to receive the leadings And information he will release the spirit of God is not talkative the word of God does not go out of his mouth until it is meant for a purpose at the time one of the ways the Holy Spirit tells you things is by Inner witness have you prayed about a decision you already made up your mind about and still don't feel great about it do you see that unrest you still feel many times after

praying about something that is the inner witness many times of the Holy Spirit telling you not to proceed with that decision many times we ignore those feelings and go ahead to make those decisions and then it backfires another way the Holy Spirit tells us things is through the word of God now this is very interesting in my early days as a child of God I always found some lessons very unpractical and while in my doubts I would get a leading to open my bible to a passage in a few minutes of reading many times then

than Not I find scriptures that ease my doubts and my unbelief the Holy Spirit leads us to the truth which is hidden in the scriptures from God remember we said earlier that the kingdom of God is ruled by principles the Bible is the rule book in which these principles are documented visions and dreams Visions Are Spiritual replications of happenings either in the past or the future you can have visions while wide awake when God want wants to communicate dreams of the Night and Visions have been spiritual messaging tools from time immemorial the Bible says in

Joel 2 28-29 that 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 men's servants and my maid servants I will pour out my spirit in those days are you currently facing some Giants in your life you know those challenges that seem too big or too hard to overcome you have a great opportunity to let God fight your battles and Conquer those giants once and for all

in Exodus 153 and 6 it says that God is a man of war the Lord is his name your right hand O Lord has become glorious in power your right hand O Lord has dashed the enemies in pieces and in the greatness of Your Excellence you have overthrown Those Who Rose against you you sent forth your wrath which consumed them like stubble how amazing is that our God is a warrior and he's always on our side when we Face battles we don't have to face them alone so how do we let God fight our battles

it starts with being still and knowing that he is God Psalm 46:10 says be still and know that I am God I will be honored by every nation I will be honored throughout the World the Hebrew word for be still can also be translated as Abate or cease it means we need to stop trying to do everything ourselves and Trust in God's power and provision but let's be honest being still is hard we live in a world where we're constantly bombarded with things to do and distractions to keep us busy we get so caught up

in our own efforts that we forget to turn to God for help so what can we do to practice Stillness and Trust in God's plan when one thing we can do is learn from Abraham when he and Sarah tried to help God by taking matters into their own hands things didn't turn out as they had hoped the consequences of their actions echoed throughout history we need to learn from their mistakes and Trust in God's timing and ways so Brothers and Sisters in Christ I encourage you to let God fight your battles when we allow him

to take Control he shows up in powerful ways that leave us in awe he's always on our side and he will never leave us or forsake us trust in his power and provision and know that he is working all things together for your good you don't have to face those giants alone let God fight for you and watch as he shows off his glory in your life have you ever found yourself struggling to fight a battle on your own maybe it's a health issue financial problems or even A difficult relationship it's easy to feel overwhelmed

and alone in these situations but I want to remind you that you don't have to struggle alone God is always there ready to fight on your behalf now I know it's not always easy to let go of control and let God take the Reigns we want to be in charge and fix things Ourselves but sometimes the best thing we can do is to be still and let God to work on his perfect plan for our lives when we let God fight our battles we not only get what we want but we become part of a

miracle remember the story of Moses and the giant king OG God told Moses not to fear him but to trust that he had already given him into their hands and guess what they won the battle Without even lifting a finger God doesn't need trained Warriors to fight his battles all he asks of us is to trust him and be willing to wait waiting can be tough but it's during these times that we can spend time in God's presence and learn more about him so my friends I want to encourage you today to let go of

your fears and Trust in God's love for you he will fight your battles and lead you to Victory whether you're facing a small problem or a giant obstacle know that God is always with you and if God ever asks you to fight your battles Don't Be Afraid remember that he loves you too much to leave you stranded he knows that sometimes we need to face challenges in order to become the person he created us to be so so let's stand together in faith and let God fight our battles we may not know what the future

Holds but we can be sure that with God on our side we will always come out Victorious let God fight your battles because God always wins back to the story of Moses and the land of Sion God gave Israel the victory over their hostile enemies but then OG the king of bishan came to do battle against Israel this time instead of God telling them to hold their peace he commanded them to fight The battle themselves but why the difference because sometimes God will simply run a protective shield around you where nothing will be able to

get through to attack you other times something will start to slip through to come directly against you and then God will move ahead of you to take it out and when he does oh boy does he do it with power and might you see the Bible is filled with stories of the various ways God has fought on behalf of his People like in Genesis when God appeared to laan in a dream and warned him not to do anything to harm Jacob and in Joshua when the Lord sent the commander of his army to lead the

armies of Israel into battle and for Elisha the Lord sent the host of his armies to stand with him against the arameans God has all power and he's able to do anything he can imagine and since he created the whole world and everything in it we know he has quite an Imagination so when you're facing a battle whether it's a health issue Financial struggles relationship problems or anything else remember God is right there with you he will fight the battle through you or he will tell you to Hold Your Position and do absolutely nothing and

then he will move himself to completely take out the attack coming against you don't struggle alone my friends let God fight your battles trust in him and his power he is Always faithful always Victorious and he will never leave you or forsake you so go out there and face your battles with confidence knowing that the god of the universe is on your side remember the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20 he was facing a massive Army that had joined forces against Judah but instead of trying to fight the battle on his own he turned

to God he gathered the people together and prayed declaring their faith in God from the very beginning and What did God do he fought the Battle for them they didn't even have to lift a finger and that's the same God we serve today he hasn't changed and he won't change he is still fighting battles for his people so if you're feeling overwhelmed don't try to fight your battles alone turn to God and let him fight for you when you're faced with a difficult situation remember to Proclaim your faith like Jehoshaphat did declare that God is

the ruler over all the kingdoms of the Nations and that no one can withstand him ask for his help and guidance and trust that he will come through for you and when you're feeling powerless remember that you don't have all the answers Jehoshaphat didn't know what to do either but he kept his eyes fixed on God he knew that God was more powerful than any army and he trusted him to come through so my friends don't struggle Alone let God fight your battles he always wins just like Jehoshaphat gather your community together and pray declare

your faith in God and trust that he will fight for you stay still and watch him work he is faithful and he will never leave you or forsake you in conclusion clusion my fellow Christians remember that you serve a God of War he is fighting battles for you that you don't even know about so when life's battles Come your way don't fight them alone turn to God and let him fight for you stay still and watch him work he is faithful and he always wins you don't have to fight your battles alone God is on

your side and he's already won the victory for you just like in the story of Jehosaphat God is telling you to stand still you don't have to figure everything out on your own you don't Have to be afraid and discouraged God has a plan for your deliverance and it's already in motion your part is to trust Him worship Him and listen for his Direction ction when we Face challenges our first instinct is to try and solve the problem ourselves but God doesn't want us to rely on our own strength he wants us to lean on

him and his mighty power he's not surprised by our troubles he's in control of them so take your position And enter God's rest let him fight for you no matter what your battle is remember remember that it's not yours it belongs to the Lord and he has a plan to bring you Victory just like Jehoshaphat acknowledge that you don't have the strength to face your enemies admit that you don't know what to do and keep your eyes on God when you do these things you position yourself for a Miracle God may speak to you in

different ways through peace through a creative idea or through his word but the key is to keep your eyes on him and trust him no matter what when you do you will see the enemy's plans for evil in your life work out for good so don't struggle alone let God fight your battles he's already won the victory for you just trust Him worship Him and listen for his Direction and above all remember that he is not just Your problem solver he is your everything have you ever come across the saying that show me your friends

and I could tell you who you truly are my mom probably used this particular line on me too many times that I can count this is to Simply say the quality of the people you surround yourself with will determine the quality of the person you intend to be let's let's try and put some perspective on this saying as we build up to finding out the heart of God Concerning the relationships you are currently having life is not an island of existence for any human being there's no record of any human being who made it through

life and Destiny alone successfully you will always come across people that you will need to form relationships with these relationships are going to determine the quality and quantity of information that will proceed into to your life to help you or in some cases to destroy you the quality Of information you get from the people around you will ultimately shape your destiny the life of a child of God is determined by the quality of the people he surrounds himself with so if you surround yourself with mediocre people it is safe to expect that the quality of

information you will get will range from mediocrity to jocular nonsense child of God the moment you realize the kind of person God wants you to become and the destiny he has planned For you you will need to forge relationships and alliances with the correct people that are relevant to your life not everybody in the world that you come across has to become your friend of course Humanity still has awesome people who make friends with can be lifechanging but there are a select group of people who will enter your life and release an overdose of toxicity

that corrupts your life's journey let us Consider what the Bible says in the Book of Proverbs 13:20 whoever walks with the wise becomes wise but the companion of fools will suffer harm a wise man is the product of years of learning training and impact from knowledgeable people who he surrounds himself with the Bible is very clear about the quality of information entering your life and the repercussions thereof listen to me child of God do not Be deceived a fool can never speak wisdom relevant enough to help your life there are particular people God has designed

for your life now look at your creation Through The Eyes of a scientist whatever a scientist builds or designs are targeted at solving a particular challenge he will do everything to make sure that his inventions stay whole and competent long enough to outlast himself That is impact the scientist will study his inventions and introduce everything that is needed to make sure that his inventions last he will take everything that is a danger away from it you know why if the invention is destroyed his legacy fails the same way it is with you as God's Perfect

Design God makes it critical ly clear in the book of Jeremiah that he has a plan For you a plan for good and not for evil that plan is your destiny and on the journey toward your destiny there are particular people God will bring your way to help and make the journey easier and lighter on the other hand there are also people who will bring themselves into your life and others will be sponsored by the enemies of your destiny to detract from dist ract from and derail your destiny this is why God told us in

the Bible to pray for the spirit of discernment because the days will become very frequent when you will need to use it God only brings particular people into your life for very specific reasons your spiritual antenna has to be very apt and in tune with your spirit of discernment so that you can Si through the different people who will come into your life that way by the guidance of the Holy Spirit you can know who to keep in Your life and who to let go for your Destiny's sake there are qualities that you look out

for in the people God approves into our lives people who are loyal especially during the tough times loyalty is the Hallmark of every genuine relationship friendships and alliances are useless without loyalty on either side because without it no agreement is safe the people God brings into your life will be loyal to your course and your Life it does not mean they will agree with you every time but they will believe in you so much that even when you seem to be going through rough times and your decision making is being impaired by your adversities they'll

Stand By Your Side to guide you down the right path Proverbs 17:17 says a friend loves at all times and a brother is born for adversity when you notice that the people who come into your life don't Have this quality child of God avoid them everything in your life might depend on this times will come when you will need them to stand by you and they'll side with your enemies those were the kind of people job surrounded himself with and when the devil came at him they all told him to curse his God and die

including his wife but Jo knew the work of Destiny and he held on before the darker days come do not make the mistake job made remove Disloyal people from your circle now people who don't cause Strife or gossip I'll tell you a little story about someone I used to call a friend he always came to my house after school to play games with me and chill out with my family I had this other boy next door who I had this very huge on going fight with and every time my supposed friend would come to my

house he would go straight to my enemy's house and tell him exactly where I would pass on my way To school the next day I was ambushed by this guy so many times and I just couldn't place my hands on why he always knew my plans a day came and my enemy fell out with my friend and my enemy came straight to me and told me how my friend was always telling him my plans for the next day I was crushed in retrospect now it is funny when I think about how childish we were But

the lesson remains Proverbs 16:28 says a perverse person stirs up conflict and a gossip separates close friends you do not need anyone who stirs up problems and quarrels for you to handle they will destroy your destiny with so many unnecessary fights and battles and you'll have less enery energ to face your destiny people who are honest honesty builds a nation honesty builds a society honesty builds Relationships honesty builds a man the worst thing that can happen to a man's Destiny or daily life as it were is to be surrounded by lying tongues and sycophants God

doesn't want us to befriend duplicitous or hypocritical people God wants us to really understand that when you see someone burning others you'd be a fool to think you're fireproof honest people around you are an underrated blessing when the whole world sings your Praise and you are caught up in the Euphoria at the Pinnacle of your success when people are all Gathering and celebrating your life that is when you need honest people around you if the rich old Merchant in the parable of Lazarus the had honest people around him they would have told him that night

that he was challenging God to his glory once again God doesn't want us to befriend duplicitous or hypocritical People Psalms 26:4 I have not sat with men of falsehood nor will I go in with dissemblers honesty is at the core of a successful friendship honest friends are well intentioned toward each other allowing one another to speak openly about their thoughts and be their true selves around each other a classic example of this scripture is the story of Judas who betrayed Jesus he signaled his arrest with a kiss you need to avoid Such toxic people on

your journey to Destiny once again the success of your journey will be determined largely by your ability to figure this group of toxic people out and avoid them here me child of God the Bible says we must not sit in the seat of scoffers neither do we need to sit with liars and troubleshooters light and darkness have nothing to do with each other the presence of light makes Darkness go away And the absence of light gives the room to Darkness but it is impossible to have light and darkness dwell and the same treat your destiny

with the same urgency as light treats Darkness dissipate toxic energy around your circle on a constant basis the book of First Corinthians 511 says but now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is Sexually immoral or greedy an idolator or slanderer a drunkard or swindler do not even eat with such people remember this we are called to love everyone with the love of God but we are not called into friendship with everyone not everybody you know has to be your friend the

scripture we just read gives us examples of the kind of toxic people we should avoid on our journey to Destiny Destinies have been aborted cut Prematurely short and rendered permanently fractured because people made the mistake of letting toxic people into their space the Bible tells us to guard your heart with all diligence why because out of it flows the matters of Life hear me child of God do whatever it takes to keep your heart guarded a man who loses his heart before a fight has already lost the fight before the first punch is Thrown your

life might not be going exactly the way you pictured it check the people around you who has your ears who are you listening to who is speaking into your life where does your counsel come from where and with whom are you sitting remember this the quality of people you allow into your life will determine the quality and quantity of information that enters your life will determine the quality of knowledge you acquire and knowledge will translate Into wisdom you need to execute your destiny in the right pattern God has called us to a perfect ending and

this ing requires your guardianship from any known possible threat to it it is our duty that we owe to ourselves to protect our lives from anything that will destroy them and toxic people represent one of the greatest threats to our Destinies if only God could open your eyes to see his plans for your life you Would wake up every day feeling on top of the world I once told someone that if David lived today no one would probably call him a man after God's heart you would probably never believe that there was anything good in

this man who killed the man to marry his wife this man who made many mistakes for which the nation suffered however David never gave up on himself but kept seeking God and his plan for his life until he matured into it if you think you've seen the best of Yourself or the best in this life then you have no idea what God has in mind the reason many of us are very quick to give up on ourselves is because we do not know that God has a plan for our lives therefore we Define ourselves by

failures mistakes and experiences the Bible says in 1 Corinthians CH 2:9 however as it is written what no eye has seen what no ear has heard and what no human mind has conceived the things God has prepared for those who love him can you Ponder on this for a moment it says what God has prepared for you no eye has seen no human mind has conceived and no ear has heard I feel like we do not hear as much about the subject as we should if we did we would not have Believers especially among the

younger folks giving up on themselves or contemplating taking their own lives or the lives of others it is true that there is nothing new Under the Sun you May have heard that before however you must realize that even if there is nothing new as per life situations and experiences nobody's Destiny is the same as anothers our gifts strengths callings and glories differ so you may be looking at the content of the termination letter in your hand and feeling like you are hopeless you may be looking at that bad review and feeling you're not good enough

but God is letting you come across this video because he wants you To know that he's got great plans for your life these things may be setbacks but you are going to bounce back from them and into your destiny you need to know that we are living in a world ruled by the devil the Bible calls Satan the God of this world 2 Corinthians 4:4 says the God of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the Gospel that displays the glory of Christ who is the image

of God the world's system Entertainment fashion media and so on are under the control of the devil it is not designed to favor you let me say that again as a child of God the world is not run to favor you or help you on the contrary everything the world offers you serves to achieve its purpose by two means one to water down your spirituality and Faith until you Embrace neutrality or number two to frustrate you by contention until you fall out of the Faith it is one of the root causes of the challenges of

life many Believers face Satan wants you to come to this point where you see no good in yourself especially as a Christian I have considered the testimonies of some criminals in history from good backgrounds and found something they had in common each of them came to a point in their lives where they didn't think they fit into society as a responsible person any longer and so they only found Themselves useful in crime I have even heard some who said they found fulfillment in it this may sound absurd to you do you know why because you

haven't embraced the enemy's lies and your eyes are still open if you let him fill your mind up soon you may Embrace his lies as well when I consider these testimonies one thing I ask is how is it that you could believe that you were better off a nuisance in society than a responsible Individual if you were truly good for nothing then you wouldn't even be good enough for the crime or Wayward lifestyle you gave into if you were truly hopeless then you would not fit in anywhere I want you to think about it too

doesn't it all make sense now if I had the skill to drop out of school to sell drugs for example because I I think it's an easier or quicker way to become wealthy I am lying to myself at the end of the day I'm going to look back and Find that even this lifestyle requires a great amount of skill to succeed when you look at it you will now know why most people who take certain paths do not tolerate their children walking the same paths rather they train their children to walk and become better beloved

God has a plan for your life and he has placed one wonderful Treasures in you there is no one on Earth for whom God doesn't have a plan from the homeless man on the street to the child Born in the palace each one was placed here on Earth for a reason if you can turn your eyes from the failures setbacks and flaws of your present and start embracing who God says you really are and if you can use that same energy to see the value you carry you are in for a world of Wonders bound

to happen the Bible says in Romans 8: 19 for the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be Revealed you are one of those children of God the world is awaiting you may not see it now but God has put a glorious Destiny in you that Satan wants to destroy if you let him convince you to quit God's servant Joyce Meyer once said The more we focus on who we are in Christ the less it matters who we were in the past or even what happens to us the key question here

is that you are as solid as the object of your focus if you think you have failed too many times if You have made so many mistakes if you have missed so many opportunities and if you have not been able to reach certain expectations I have good news for you you are the person God wants to use for great things am I serious oh yes I am my friend listen to what the Bible says in first Corinthians 1: 26- 29 brothers and sisters think of what you were when you were called not many of you

were Wise by human standards not many were influential not many were of noble birth But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things and the things that are not to nullify the things that are so that no one may boast before him if you weren't so important to God the devil wouldn't be coming after you let that sink in so before you give up on yourself here are a

few things to consider before you were born God knew you and designed you with a plan for fulfillment he knew you would experience many things he knew you would fail he knew you would be so stubborn make life difficult for your parents and loved ones for a while and get into trouble he knew that you would get stuck in cycles for a long time he knew the things that would happen to you yet he still chose you not only to be born into the world but also to be saved David wrote something similar in Psalms

139: 13-16 for you created my inmost being you knit me together in my mother's womb I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made your works are wonderful I know that full well my frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place when I was woven together in the depths of the earth your eyes saw my unformed body all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to Be like I said at the beginning of this video David and everyone else who God

used to fulfill his agenda on the earth had their limitations flaws and setbacks many of them did things you wouldn't dare to do yet God used them if Moses had given up because his effort to save his people while he was in Egypt failed resulting in his Exile he wouldn't have become the Savior whom God used to bring them out if Joseph had blamed himself for talking too much or blamed his Brothers and Piper's wife for being unkind to him he wouldn't have reached his Destiny and fulfilled God's plan for his life what about Abraham

who had to wait for God's promise of Isaac for 25 years what about Jacob who was known as a trickster all his life until God changed his name to Israel what about Peter Paul and the others you can look through scriptures and find the stories of these people as examples and inspiration you can believe and embrace God's plan for your life and you can choose to follow the path God carves out for you God chose you not because you were perfect as a person but because you were perfect for his plan God chose you and

placed you on Earth and you are alive today because he is not done with you yet there is a destiny in front of you and you have everything it takes to fulfill it don't worry about how you feel you have all it takes to be the Person God designed you to be don't worry about the things going on in your life right now the failures or disappointments yes many of them will show areas where you need to make improvements many will show areas where you need to do or stop doing certain things however never let

anything make you doubt God's plan for your life or give up on yourself Rick Warren said you were made by God and for God and until you Understand that life will never make sense one day you are going to stand before your heavenly father I pray that when you do you will have lived out his plans completely on the earth and enjoyed the beautiful adventure of demonstrating the glory of God Amen have you ever wondered what it feels like to hear God you may have convinced yourself that you're not among the special ones God speaks

to or Perhaps you think that people who easily hear God have a special gift today God is using this video as a sign to speak to you and tell you what your heart yearns for in this video we will show you how God is always talking to you but you may not always be paying attention to him God wants to communicate with you because he loves you and he has a plan and a purpose for your life you need his guidance and wisdom to bring you into a blessed and fulfilled life we will also Be

praying for you so please watch until the end and open your heart to receive the blessing of this prayer remember to comment the word amen after you say this prayer one of the most common things Believers say is I really want to hear when God communicates with me I want to know how to be guided by the spirit of God and this is sad because in trying to hear God many well-meaning Believers have fallen prey to satanic influence remember that the Bible tells us that Even the devil can disguise himself as an angel of Light

to deceive God's children in 2 Corinthians 11:14 it says and no wonder for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of Light so since Satan can appear as an angel of Light the believer must be careful to know how to distinguish between God's communication and satanic communication that is what we are going to cover in this video it's an exciting Journey because you are going to realize That all this time you've been worrying for nothing why because God has been speaking to you friends understand that God continuously communicates with us forms the foundation of our reasoning

and spiritual journey he may speak to us through various means such as vivid dreams third parties or relationships sudden bursts of creativity a persistent urge in a particular direction or issue or even a distinct thought or mental image these signs can be subtle or Profound but they always carry a message that benefits Us in some way communication from God can take on various forms from a simple Association that represents something unseen to an unmistakable influence on our thoughts it can even manifest as an obstructed course of action or the sound of singers in musical instruments

I've experienced this many times I could be listening to music and then my spirit begins to receive clear instructions or feel a Pull towards a direction that God wants me to go sometimes I could receive clarity about something I had been considering for a while God can communicate any way he desires the blessings of the Lord Upon Our Lives no matter the form they take are meant for our benefit similarly his Communications no matter the form they take are meant to benefit us just as Isaiah 48:17 tells us this is what the Lord says your

Redeemer the Holy One of Israel I am the Lord your God who teaches you what is best for you who directs you in the way you should go go God May communicate with his children when they gather as a community of Believers he may also speak through the scripture through prayer moral guidance discernment and every aspect of existence trusting him and staying attentive to his voice are essential for our progress and success how does God often communicate With us through these things he does so by his Spirit as in the Bible already told us that

the leading of the spirit is a sign that we are children of God the holy spirit will often prompt us to act on what we've heard seen or learned giving us a deep sense of purpose and peace when we follow his guidance this peace and Clarity are the most reliable way to discern the voice of the Holy Spirit and know that we are following the will of God for our lives Saints God Delights in communicating with us because he loves us and wants a conversation through the holy holy spirit's promptings we can confirm that God

is speaking to us through whichever Channel he chooses to use urging us to align with his Divine will and purpose we are chosen by God for a special purpose and we should communicate ourselves to uncovering that ability to discern his voice regardless of our current Circumstances God does speak to us but we often don't pay attention to his messages we've been given the gift of his guidance by the Holy Spirit working through his word and his promptings in our hearts but we may ignore them or fail to recognize them at times the overwhelming challenges of

life or the busyness of our daily routines can distract us from God's voice if you've ever felt that God is not paying attention to you it may be that you Haven't been paying attention to him his word says in James 4:8 come near to God and he will come near to you wash your hands you Sinners and purify y your hearts you double-minded we all long for tangible clear communication with God but it may sometimes seem elusive like a distant fairy tale however God is always speaking to us even if we don't recognize it we

might feel as though we are resigned to just waiting to see what God will do but we must understand that God's ways are different from ours and he values us more than we can fathom dear friend to identify that God is communicating a with us we can look for three key indicators the first is through God's word where he speaks to us directly engraving specific verses in our hearts when we need the most with his word god imparts his Divine Comfort wisdom and guidance directly into our hearts in the Moments when we seek Solace direction

or encouragement God has a way of etching specific verses deep within our hearts precisely when we need the most when life casts its Shadows of uncertainty and discouragement upon us these verses emerge as beacons of light offering us Solace and unwavering Assurance they serve as a source of comfort providing a profound sense of God's presence and his promises during our trials these verses become a Sheltering Embrace reminding us Of his love Grace and unfailing support I've heard testimonies of people who received comfort and deliverance from dire situations because verses began to well up deep within

their hearts and when they rested on those words God showed up for them a man once showed how on a sick bed struggling for his life he heard the words of Psalm 118:17 I will not die but live and will Proclaim What the Lord Has Done he said that he began to feel a Pull towards these words no other verse in scripture came to mind he didn't even have the strength to pray about anything else this was the only only thing he could think of like hanging on to a branch on the side of a

mountain to not fall and he said he finally opened his heart and began echoing those words again and again the more he said what the Bible said The more conscious he became the more he spoke the more strength he received after a while the Shadow of death left him and he felt peace a few days later he was discharged from the hospital the word of God was used as an instrument communicating God's desire to give life to him it was like God was telling him it's not yet time live don't die you see through God's

word we discover a treasure Trove of Timeless wisdom and comfort like an ever-flowing stream of Hope in a Barren land these verses are more than mere words on a Page they are living expressions of his love and guidance specially crafted to speak directly to our hearts in Our Moment moments of need they offer reassurance strength and a sense of purpose allowing us to navigate life's challenges with unwavering faith in times of uncertainty these verses become our steadfast companions grounding Us in the unchanging truth of God's word when faced with discouragement they serve as a Lifeline

breathing renewed Determination and hope into our Spirits this Divine communication through scripture is a testament to the depth of God's love and his desire to speak to us intimately guiding us through the trials and tribulations of Life have you ever had a moment when you felt the word of God echoing again and again in your heart leading you to take a step that would honor God and the Holy Spirit kept tugging at your heart this is a sign from God he is trying to tell You something the second indicator that God is communicating with us

is through the church and fellow Believers where his guidance often reaches us through sermons or the wisdom of others however it's crucial for us to exercise discernment and ensure that the guidance and advice we receive harmonize with the foundational truths of God's word for not all well-intentioned counsel is necessarily Godly counsel Like someone once said good intentions do not always equal right directions within the church sermons and teach teachings become channels through which God's word is explained and made relevant to our lives pastors and other spiritual leaders strive to communicate God's truth providing us with

Insight Clarity and a deeper understanding of his will these sermons then resonate deeply within our hearts addressing specific concerns or offering timely Encouragement as we listen and reflect upon these teachings we discern God's guidance shaping our perspectives and influencing our choices furthermore the wisdom and counsel of fellow Believers can also be a conduit for God's guidance in our lives through conversations discussions and the advice of trusted friends God often speaks to us these insights and perspectives are like pieces of a Divine puzzle helping us discern our path resolve dilemmas or Gain a fresh perspective on

life's challenges the experiences and journeys of others when shared in the context of a supportive and faith-based community can serve as a source of profound inspiration and Direction sometimes you keep feeling like you have to do something and then almost every sermon group discussion or friendly interaction with other believers point in that direction too this is a strong indicator that God is Trying to communicate something to you you need to open up to it and follow what he's saying however it's imperative that we exercise discernment in this process while the church and fellow Believers can

be instrumental in conveying God's wisdom not all counsel is necessarily aligned with his Divine truth the wisdom we received must be examined in the light of the scripture as we saw in the first indicator Ensuring it adheres to the principles and values outlined in God's word this is just like Satan quoted Psalms and asked Jesus to jump off a high place and Jesus rebuked him we must understand that God will never lead you against what his word says no matter how it benefits you or others discernment acts as a safeguard against well-intentioned but misguided advice

helping us to distinguish between counsel that reflects God's Will and counsel that Deviates from it in essence the church and fellow Believers are powerful channels through which God communicates his guidance and wisdom to us however it's our responsibility to approach these sources with discernment ensuring that the counsel we receive aligns with the Timeless truths of God's word enabling us to navigate life's complexities with Godly wisdom and Clarity the third indicator that God may be trying to communicate with you is When he places a burden on your heart or convicts you about something for which you

have no evidence so what does this mean at times we may find ourselves experiencing a profound concern or a compelling urge to intercede on behalf of someone even when we're unaware of the specific specific reason these are moments when God's prompting beckons us to engage in prayer and Faithfully follow his lead this drives us to seek God in Prayer and align with his will when God imparts a burden of prayer he is Whispering to our hearts inviting us to participate in his Divine work this stirring within us is a call to action a summons to

approach the Creator in prayer and a reminder that our communion with him holds the power to bring about change and transformation it's in these moments that we become aware of our dependence on God and our need to be in alignment with his purposes the burden Of prayer serves as a potent reminder that we are not alone in our journey but are intricately connected to the Divine tapestry of his plan additionally God often ignites a conviction in us about something a firm belief in something that transcends empirical evidence or rational understanding it could be a sin

we overlooked and from which we need to repent or a revelation from his word that would be instrumental in our Deliverance this unwavering certainty can serve as a compass directing our steps towards God's intended path it's a testament to our faith in the Unseen and the unfathomable driving us to make choices and take actions rooted in our trust in God's wisdom and guidance this beckons us to enter a deep communion with God through prayer repentance and Faith reinforcing our trust in his Divine wisdom these Divine stirrings encourage us to embrace our Role as instrumentals of

God's grace and agents of his transformative work in the world God also communicates in ways that may be clear and audible if we attune ourselves to his presence but we often get distracted by the world's noise making it challenging to discern his voice however God is always trying to communicate with us he desires to share guidance and wisdom with us we only need to listen attentively and be conscious of his voice to truly hear God we must Strive for Holiness and seek forgiveness for our sins sin can act as a barrier preventing us from hearing

his voice as his word says in Isaiah 59 1-2 surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save nor his ear too dull to hear but your iniquities have has separated you from your God your sins have hidden his face from you so that he will not hear when we confess and seek his Mercy we should also aim to live a life of Holiness to maintain a deep connection with God God speaks to us he wants to communicate with us he has something to say to us the question is if we are

listening to him are we paying attention to his voice and his signs are we willing to obey his message and his Direction God speaks to us because he loves us and has a plan and a purpose for our lives let us listen to him and follow him let us seek Him and hear him let us trust him and Obey him now let us Pray over your life open your heart now and receive God's grace dear heavenly father in this sacred moment of prayer we approach your divine presence with hearts overflowing with gratitude we thank you
