The IMPORTANCE of the Spirit of God!!! I have been inspired by Pastor Bill Johnson, and a lot of what I am saying here comes from his sermons. It has been a while since I’ve written a blog, because I’ve been so pre-occupied with life, that I neglected the Spirit of God, and for this I am truly sorry. May God forgive me for my lack of faith, lack of discipline, lack of commitment and my weakness against the enemy. I have allowed satan to once again distract me from my true purpose: to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and to cast out devils! In Matthew 10:7+8 Jesus tells His disciples 10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. We have been given the power and authority by God’s word, and by Jesus, the Messiah, to receive the Spirit of God, to let Him live inside of us, and to do miraculous things in Jesus’s name! Why are we not doing this? Why are our churches not teaching us to walk with the Spirit of God, and to perform miracles and wonders wherever we go? A few months ago the Spirit of God told me to go pray for a few friends and family members, and after fighting against it, I eventually did! All praise to Him, and I thank Him for those who got their miracles of healing. Thank you Jesus! Unfortunately I decided to allow the devil to convince me that I am not worthy, due to the fact that some people did NOT receive their miracles. I obviously did something wrong, but instead of getting alone with God, asking Him to help me and show me what needs to change in me, I decided (with the help of satan) that I wasn’t good enough. I could not have been more wrong! God chose me, just like He chose you! We are good enough, because it’s not about us, it’s about Him. When we wallow in self-pity, we make it all about us! You and I are NOT capable of doing anything, but with the power and authority given to us by the most High, we have the power to heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out demons in His name! “Greater is He who lives in me that he that lives in the world!” Do not underestimate the power of the Holy Spirit of God!!! If you can’t do the above (heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead and cast out demons), get back into the secret place (your prayer closet). The problem is never on Gods side! Get into your secret place (where it is only you and God) and sort out the problem! Always remember, it is NOT you that perform miracles, it is ALL God! So when you doubt yourself, you doubt God! God will provide in most of your NEEDS without you even asking, but most of what you WANT you will have to go get from God (through sincere prayer) in your secret place with Him! If you want to be able to heal the sick, you have to ASK for it. You have to show your dedication, your determination and spend the time with God! You have to seek an intimate relationship with Him! Jesus said: “Freely you have received, freely give!” What have you received? You have received the Spirit of God, He lives inside of you, He promised to NEVER forsake you; it is your responsibility to share the Spirit with everyone you come in contact with! When you nurture the Spirit by spending alone time with Him, by reading and meditating on the word of God, you will create an atmosphere around you, so that people will sense His presence when you enter a room! You are summoned by God to host His Spirit and to create an atmosphere around you so that He (the Spirit) may find another place to rest (person to dwell in). Learning to co-operate with the Holy Spirit, to clearly hear His voice, to follow His instruction, is the heart and soul of Christianity and ministry. Everything that is done WITHOUT the co-operation of the Spirit of God is done in vain! It is the Holy Spirit that takes the little things we do and makes them supernaturally effective!!! I pray that every single person that reads this post will be anointed with the Holy Spirit, and that you will receive ALL the gifts of the Spirit and that you would do miraculous things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour! Amen!
