WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?

Mighty Woman of God, I pray that you are blessed and highly favored of our Lord, Jesus Christ as you follow after Him. 

 

(Matthew 28:19), Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. (John 14:26), But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 16:7), Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.  (Acts 1:5), For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. (Acts 1:8), But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

 

There is a lot of controversy, when it comes to the position or the who is question of the Holy Spirit.  Now I am not an expert on the matter but I will share what I believe to be true according to the bible, the Word of God.  If you ever have a disagreement with any teachings on scriptures, it is always a good idea to search the scriptures for yourself.  Pray and ask for clarity.  God does not want you to be confused about any teachings of the scriptures and His Word.

 

Some people do not exactly know where to place the Holy Spirit when it comes to our Lord Jesus Christ.  They know and believe without a doubt that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.  So, let's start there.  God the Father, walked with Adam, Eve, Moses, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  Jesus Christ walked among the people and His disciples in the Book of the Gospels.  Once Christ died on the cross for our sins, He ascended into the heavens, to sit at the right hand of God, the Father.  John the Baptize, never baptized people in the name the Son, or the Holy Spirit because their time had not yet come.  In the Book of Acts, Jesus tells the disciples not to leave where they were until the promise of the Father was fulfilled.  The promise was the Comforter, the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Lord.  The Holy Spirit is not a this or it, He is a He.  Not less but equal to the Father and the Son.

 

In the O.T. there are a lot of scriptures that make note of the presence of the Holy Spirit.  I will give just one; Genesis 1:26, and God said, "Let us make man . . . ."  The word us, has to mean more than one.  Meaning, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit is not a ghost, like something out of a scary movie.  He does not roam about your home covered in white.  Although the Word describing the Holy Spirit as the 3rd Person of the Trinity, the word trinity is not in the bible.  The word trinity means, three.  Now catch this revelation that the Holy Spirit just gave to me.  A woman is pregnant with triplets.  She will give birth to three babies.  All of the babies are different, their own personality, their own blood, heart, veins, etc.  They were all born of the same womb but once she has given birth, each of them will take on their own shape.

 

When Jesus spoke to the disciples, He told them that once He leaves that He would not leave them comfortless, meaning He would not leave them alone.  He is sending help.  The Holy Spirit has several names.  The Helper, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, the Spirit of the Lord, etc.  Any spiritual gift that you have or will receive is given by the Holy Spirit and you must acknowledge Him.  Whenever I am praying with someone and I am given a prophetic word for that person, I am operating with the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit is the Person that gives me knowledge as to what to pray for when praying for people.  The prophetic gift that is within me, is given by the Holy Spirit, which is the Spirit of the Lord.  Only to glorify God in heaven.  If the Spirit of the Lord (the Holy Spirit) uses me to speak a word to someone else or say something that only God would know, then that person will without a doubt know that nobody but God is speaking to them.  They will glorify God, not me, because I have never seen or met that person before.

Any spiritual gift that the Holy Spirit gives to you, is for you to use to bring the lost to the cross (Jesus Christ) and to glorify God in heaven.  Not for you to use anyway that you chose, but it must be used the way that the Holy Spirit choses.

HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  I pray that you are blessed and highly favored of our Lord Jesus Christ, as you follow after Him.

 

(Matthew 13:3-9), And He told them many things in parables, saying A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and ate them up.  Other seed fell on rocky ground, where they had not much soil; and at once they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil.  But when the sun rose, they were scorched and because they had no root, thy dried up and withered away.  Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them out.  Other seeds fell on good soil, and yielded grain some a hundred times as much as was sown, some sixty times as much and some thirty. (Amp. Parallel Bible).

Some of you hear the word but do not understand what God is speaking to you.  Therefore you are not able to hold on to the Word of God spoken over your life.  You come before God and sit in the congregation acting like you got it all together, but it comes in one ear and goes out the other, and makes no impression.  You say that God knows your heart, this is true, and Satan also knows your heart.  If the things of the world are not broken up in your heart, then your heart will not be prepared to receive and heed to the Word of God.  You must cover the seed (the Word spoken) after hearing the Word of God by meditation and prayer.

 

Rocky Ground, Some of you have a good impressions of the Word of God, but it is not lasting.  You are glad to hear a good sermon, but you will not profit by it.  Your heart may melt under the word, but you still  have no firm resolution in your will or emotions.  Inwardly you are no more affected than a stone; After hearing the Word of God, you are still not united to Christ who is our Root; you still don't fully trust in Him.  In worldly terms (you are hard-headed).  You might be able to endure in the storm for awhile, but in the end, you will be swallowed up by the devil because you lack roots.  The Word of God, just fell on a hard head.  God knows that you only have a form of godliness and so does Satan.  Satan seeing you as having only a form of godliness he easily swallows up your seeds.

 

Thorns,   I call this stage, just a little stuck.  You are at the stage where you are constantly getting stuck by thorns in your life.  These thorns hurt when you try to get pass them.  Just like rose bushes if you brush up against them you get stuck.  No kind of thorn feels good.  When you get stuck by a thorn, it is human nature for you to look at the spot where you were stuck.  The longer you stay focus on the thorn, you are not fully put your faith in God and are not able to cast all your worries on Him; therefore falling short of benefitting from the Word of God.  You are built up in church service by the Word of God, but you are still being overcome by the things of the world.  Worldly cares are compared to thorns; they are  entangling, vexing, scratching, and their end is to be burned.  Toxic and relationships seems to be the main thing that keeps us women from moving away from those thorns.  These thorns choke the good seed.  You have good seed sowed into your spirit, but those thorns (worldly people, places and things) are great hindrances to your moving into God' purpose for your life. 

 

Good Ground: Fruitfulness.  A true woman of God bears good fruit.  This does not mean that you will not have stones in it, or no thorns, but because you have hidden the Word of God in your heart and planted the Word of God on good ground nothing will be able to hinder your fruit from growing.  A woman bearing good fruit can always feed another woman.  Other women should be able to draw from and eat from the fruits that you bare.  You cannot feed another woman if your fruit is rotten (bad attitude, gossiping, whoremonger, deceitful and lying spirit).  A woman that has sowed seed on good ground is not perfectly free from the remains of sin, but happily freed from the reign of it; meaning you don't quickly run towards sin.  You understand the sense and meaning of the Word of God and take care of the seed that God has planting in you.  With your fruit right, and your heart honest, your return from God will be hundred, sixty or thirty-fold.  Your fruitfulness will graciously accepted by God.  PRAISE GOD!

PROMISES . . . PROMISES

Good morning, Mighty Woman of God!  Today's message is another blessing from the Lord to you.  I should say us because I just realized that the messages on FAITH this week are for me.

I have heard horror stories from many saints of God about how they were tested by God, when they ask Him to increase or strengthen their FAITH.  At that point I was dead set on not asking God for any spiritual gifts and definitely not asking God to increase my FAITH.  In fear of what I would have to endure has kept me from asking for a boost in the area of FAITH on this spiritual journey.  There have been quite a few tribulations and storms that I have overcome through God.  In truth, I should be dead.  I decided that I would ask God to strengthen my FAITH.  I realize that I need a little more to be able to make it through this next level in my spiritual journey. 

 

While on my walk and talk time with God, He gave me an awesome revelation, something to ponder on, which really blessed by spirit.  I listened carefully to the Spirit of the Lord (Holy Spirit).  He said, "Promises that you make are  only able for you to keep because they are contingent on someone else keeping their promise".  Meaning if I tell someone that I will give them fifty dollars, once I get paid, then that promise is contingent upon someone else.  If that person doesn't keep their promise, then I cannot keep my promise.  In fact, any promises that we make to someone will always going to be contingent on someone or something else, which means that promises made to you or from you can be broken.

God has promised through His Word that the fruit of your womb is blessed.  When your children are going their own wayward way, you need to speak that word over their life.  I don't care what age your child is, you still need to speak the Word of God over them.  Just as God has a plan and purpose for your child, so does Satan.  It is never too late to start speaking the Word of God over your children.  Mother, God knows your children far better than you do.

Woman of God, God knows your husband far better than you do.  He created your husband.  If you are at a point in your marriage where you feel overwhelmed and things seem to be at a point where communication seems to always in up in an argument; pray asking God to reveal to you the correct way to speak to your husband that will not lead into an argument.  Most couples have a hard time communicating only because one person thinks that the other person is saying something that they really are not.  Speak the Word of God over your marriage and believe God will keep His promise.

You may not see the hand of God working in your marriage or your children, but a promise is a promise and it will always come to pass.  Lean on God, have FAITH that if He said it, it's a promise.  Those who God regards as righteous trust in Him alone, resting wholly in His promises that He will accomplish His purposes even when that seems impossible from a human perspective.

God says, "I am not a man. I am the Creator, not the creation.  I don't rely on anyone (any man) to

to keep my promises to you, my daughter.  My Word is My Word, it will not come back to Me void (undone).  My promise to you is never contingent on man.  My promise is my Word.  Again, I need no one else.   Though it may tarry, it shall surely come to pass.  Trusting that God will do what He says He will do will always increase your FAITH.  I Am, that I Am.
