YIELDING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
Monday 25th April 2022
Galatians 5:16 (TPT) Let me emphasize this: As you YIELD to the dynamic life and power of the HOLY SPIRIT...
When the church of Jesus Christ ( me and you) permits and gives the Holy Spirit His rightful place in our individual lives and church, we shall then witness the workings of God in the way we have never known before.
Your spiritual temperature, sensitivity, passion, and ability to connect to the grace of the Holy Spirit are attributed to your willingness to open up to Him (Holy Spirit).
When/ wherever you start experiencing dryness, struggle, strife, etc in prayer, fasting, service, it means you have not opened up and yielded to the person of the Holy Spirit who is the key to having a victorious life that's expected of you by God.
Judges 15:14 ... Then the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him....
The Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson. This should describe our lives, activities, moments, etc. as it was with our forefathers like Daniel and Moses.
Daniel passed three presidencies and found himself on the highest because he was always filled with the Holy Spirit.
What makes you perform at a level beyond the ordinary is the anointing of the Holy Spirit. That's why you need to remain sensitive, to Him, not grieving and quenching Him because they can diminish His ministry in your life.
Isaiah 40:30-31 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew [their] strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
God does not expend energy. It is we who spend energy every time we work. So we need to be replenished.
It is in the presence of God (Holy Spirit) that we renew( exchange )our weaknesses with His strength.
John 3:8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
As a child of God, you come to a place in your walk with God that all you do is to spread your wings and allow the Holy Spirit to carry you Zechariah 4:6.
Judges 15:15 He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and killed a thousand men with it.
A jawbone is not a weapon but Samson used it to kill a thousand men. Anything in the hands of an anointed man becomes a great weapon.
For Moses, it was a rod. To you, it may be that voice, business, job, etc that can change the nation if it is under the anointing of the Holy Spirit.
That is why the Holy Spirit is not only for the preacher, Mr.husband, Mrs. Wife, children you need the Holy Spirit who was sent to help us and make life easier in all areas of our life (John 16:7).
Judges 15:16-19 So God split the hollow place that [is] in Lehi, and water came out, and he drank; and his spirit returned, and he revived....
Samson experienced thirty after he had thrown away the jawbone and cried to God for water. God opened a well and water (representing the Holy Spirit) came out.
