⭕️There is no present you can prepare for God that will be acceptable except the present He inspired you to give.

⭕️There is no worship you can prepare for God that will be acceptable except the worship He has helped you to give.

⭕️This is because the standards of God are higher, God is not human.

⭕️Only when God has introduced mercy is He going to meet man.

⭕️Mercy qualifies the unqualified.

⭕️Mercy overrides judgment that may be on a man.

Isaiah 66:1-2, James 2:19, Hebrews 11:7

⭕️Trembling at God’s word is acting in the direction of what God has said, having reverence and assurance that He will do it.

Isaiah 43:16-19

⭕️When God says, “I will bless you,” He has already done it.

POSITIONING FOR NEW THINGS

⭕️What is new?

a) Something original, and of a kind not yet seen before.

b) Having no previous example, precedent or parallel.

⭕️What is new to me might not be new to you – it is subjective.

⭕️If your account receives 1 million Kwacha, it may be new to you but there are many people who have already received that amount.

⭕️Have the mentality that new things are happening to you as an individual.

⭕️Former things are things that have happened before (past events).

⭕️In the absence of a new mind, it is impossible to have a new thing.

⭕️To stay ahead will require your head.

HOW TO PREPARE AND STEP INTO NEW THINGS

Revelation 21:5

⭕️It is God that is doing new things and He is doing them for us.

⭕️The new things are not what we think for ourselves but what God is thinking for us.

⭕️If you are going to think about new things, think under inspiration from God.

1.Perceive the heart of God (Isaiah 43:19,43:6, 48:6, Matthew 21:2-3, 6-7, Matthew 17:27, John 2:8, Matthew 14:17-20)

⭕️God wants you to know what He is doing.

⭕️It will not be so plain; you have to perceive it.

⭕️To be aware of something does not necessarily mean that you have seen the thing.

⭕️You are aware of your brain even though you have not seen it.

⭕️There are certain things that will create awareness of what God is doing.

Examples of perception from the bible:

⭕️The presence of angels created an awareness of God’s presence in the area for Jacob. (Genesis 32:1)

⭕️Jacob also perceived God’s presence through a dream he had. (Genesis 28:16-17)

⭕️The woman of Shunem perceived that Elisha was a man of God (2 Kings 4:9-10).

⭕️David perceived that God had lifted him when a king from afar off was willing to cooperate with him (2 Samuel 5:12).

⭕️The woman with the issue of blood perceived that she could receive her healing by reason of the things she heard about Jesus (Mark 5:27).

⭕️Elijah perceived that rain had come when a little cloud started to rise from the sea (1 Kings 18:44).

⭕️The Israelites observed that they were winning when Moses’ hands were raised (Exodus 17:12).

⭕️When certain things happen in your life, God expects you to perceive.

⭕️God doesn’t always speak.

⭕️When battles become more intense than before, you can perceive that God is doing something.

⭕️When you are about to step into financial glory you will be reduced to financial deprivation.

⭕️Information and revelation are not the same.

⭕️Catch a revelation.

⭕️God’s words are creative; they create the reality of what they talk about.

⭕️Your account has nothing but God can come through it.

2.Change your focus

1. i) Stop looking at the former things (Jeremiah 29:11-14, James 1:8, Genesis 6:5-7, Matthew 4:17, Philippians 3:13, Joshua 1:5, 7, Joshua 5:13, Numbers 14:24, Joshua 14:12)

⭕️Former things are not necessarily bad.

⭕️For God to do you good, He has to think good towards you.

⭕️God also thinks about bad things, He wouldn’t punish evil and bring vengeance if He wasn’t thinking bad towards your enemies.

⭕️God cannot think of doing bad and good at the same time.

⭕️Focus all your energy into thinking what you want to see.

⭕️The things we see and hear are smaller than what we think.

⭕️The things we think help us to interpret what we see and hear.

⭕️There is power that is generated when a man chooses to look at one subject and concentrate on it.

⭕️You can be in poverty but when God looks at you, He can see that you are prosperous because you have acquired the mindset of prosperity.

⭕️Tomorrow is as a result of what is in the mind today.

⭕️Imagination is the factory for tomorrow.

⭕️You will not master anything until there is focus.

⭕️Whether it is success or failure, don’t look at the former things.

⭕️Yesterday’s success will make you complacent to chase for new things if you look at it.

⭕️Yesterday’s failures will affect you in your pursuit of new things, if you look at them.

⭕️You can use past successes to give you energy to focus on new things.

⭕️You are free when there is nothing hindering your dreaming of the future.

⭕️You can’t look at success and failure at the same time.

⭕️You can’t enter your promised land with a mindset of fear.

⭕️Let go of the past, how many times you tried doesn’t matter. God is doing new things.

⭕️You will struggle in your relationships if you do not have the ability to forget (the past).

⭕️If all you hear are negatives when you are among a certain group, God is telling you to move away.

⭕️When God calls people for great things, they seem to go through seasons of isolation.

⭕️It is for a reason; it is for reprogramming of the mind.

Mark 4:13-20

THE KIND OF GROUND THE WORD OF GOD IS SOWN IN:

1.The wayside

⭕️These are those who lose the word immediately after they have heard it.

⭕️Satan comes to church, though he might not necessarily be in church. He comes to hear what is going to be said and he’s banking on the fact that the children of God don’t value the word.

⭕️The word works.

2.The stony ground (Mark 4:16)

⭕️When they hear the word they immediately receive it with gladness.

⭕️Satan knows he can’t steal the word from this type immediately.

⭕️They will be excited once they have received the word but after some time has passed they will have forgotten about it.

⭕️Persecution and affliction will come as a result of the word you have received.

⭕️Persecution and affliction come in different forms.

⭕️Affliction and persecution don’t come from God, they come from satan – it is his own reaction to what you received.

2 Samuel 5:17

3.The thorny ground (Mark 4:19)

⭕️These receive the word but the word is mixed with other things.

⭕️Cares of this world include what to eat, wear, school fees and many more.

⭕️You shouldn’t be deceived into thinking you don’t need God because you are making a lot of money.

4.The good ground (Mark 4:20, Luke 8:11, 15)

⭕️This kind hear the word, receive it and bring forth fruit.

⭕️When you receive something, it means it is no longer with the person that gave it out.

⭕️We don’t produce from same amount of fruit from the word.

⭕️Those who have hyper understanding produce more fruit from the word.

⭕️What makes the difference is the level of understanding.

⭕️What’s guaranteed is that this kind will have a testimony, even though it might not be as drastic as another person’s testimony.

⭕️A good ground keeps the word (takes care of it).

⭕️The word of God is a seed that is planted.

⭕️Every farmer knows that when he plants a seed today, he is not going to get a harvest the next day.

Romans 10:8-9

⭕️We must never sleep in life and destiny.

⭕️To confess is to say.

⭕️Confessing is not necessarily saying the same thing somebody has said, like a  parrot.

⭕️You can say something different but it is still in agreement.

⭕️If you say, “I can never be sick,” or “I can never be sick,” it is because you have realized that you are healed by the stripes of Jesus.

Hebrews 13:5-6, Ephesians 5:1

⭕️Become an imitator of God.

⭕️When you confess that Jesus is Lord you are confessing that he took away your sins and brought forgiveness, and you are confessing everything else that he died for.

⭕️God is so powerful that he can take our lives but as powerful as He is, He has no authority to take our lives.

⭕️Satan has no authority to take our lives.

⭕️What God and satan both look for is authorization.

⭕️How will satan get authorization? He will bring something to cause fear in you so that through your talk you can give him permission.

⭕️When God brings his word to you and you believe and agree with it, you have given Him permission to do what He wants to do with your life.

⭕️God has power to make you prosper but He has no authority to make you prosper until you permit Him by you believing what He has told you.

⭕️God would want everybody to prosper but He will do His best to convict you in order to make you agree with His word.

Ezekiel 22:30

⭕️God is looking for someone in a family to partner with in order to destroy the curse.

Ezekiel 37:1-10

⭕️As powerful as God is, there is nothing He can do on earth until He finds a man who can authorize Him.

⭕️When you hear the word, be excited about it and believe it so that you give God permission to do things through you.

⭕️If you knew that your talk can allow God or satan, you would be careful with what you say.

⭕️For many things we are waiting on God for, God is also waiting on us.

⭕️You have a part to do, do it.

⭕️God is powerful but a man that doesn’t believe that God can heal will never be healed.

⭕️If you can say what God has said in the word concerning you, you will see changes in your life.

⭕️We keep the word by believing it, saying it and giving thanks to God for it.

Habakkuk 2:2

⭕️Places that people refer to as hard places are places where God has not found anyone to work through.

⭕️All God needs is a man who is going to agree with Him.

⭕️Give people an opportunity to laugh at you for believing God’s word.

Luke 21:15

⭕️ There is a lot of negativity out there but stick to the word you hear.

⭕️Don’t treat the word of God like entertainment.

Isaiah 43:16-18

⭕️The anointing is a confirmation of your change of position.

⭕️The way to step into newness is to forget the former things (the past).

⭕️You should also forget your little successes because they can hinder you from stepping into new things.

Philippians 3:13

⭕️If you’re going to get hold of something new there must be a forgetting.

⭕️The devil uses past failures to capture people’s minds.

⭕️How many times you have failed can be a problem for stepping into something new.

⭕️How many times you have tried can be a problem for stepping into something new.

⭕️To have new things you have to think new things.

⭕️One of the first gifts we must get from this anointing (Anointing for New Dimensions) is the gift of the mindset of the anointed one.

⭕️Don’t think about the past.

⭕️You cannot think about the past and the future at the same time.

⭕️You want a new thing in your business but what is that new thing?

⭕️You want promotion but what level do you want to be promoted to?

⭕️You must have a specific new goal.

⭕️When your new goal you have set for yourself scares you, God can come in.

⭕️There is no need for God to come in when we have ability to do something ourselves.

⭕️God will never ask you for something that you have ability to do.

⭕️When Peter stopped focusing on Jesus who has ahead of him, and started to look at the past, he started to sink.

⭕️The past can make your comfortable.

⭕️Your mind plays an important role in going to your next level.

⭕️Some people are not millionaires in their minds and they try to become millionaires in the physical.

⭕️Until you are enthroned in your mind, you will never be enthroned in the physical.

⭕️What we say usually comes from what we think.

⭕️A mindset is with you everywhere you go – it is what defines what is possible or impossible for you.

⭕️Change of location does not imply change for you.

⭕️Real change happens when your mindset changes.

Money is not your mindset; money is just a reflection of what you’ve been thinking.

⭕️Money helps you to fulfill your dreams.

⭕️If truly it is in your heart, then God will put it in your hand.

⭕️Money brings expression to what is already in you.

1 Samuel 10:6

⭕️Everyone is born naked.

⭕️There is no one who has born with an advantage over the other.

⭕️Our parents bring us into the world but we are responsible for where we are going.

⭕️The anointing is the presence and power of God that brings enablement to a man.

⭕️A blessing is an empowerment to succeed.

Isaiah 65:8

⭕️The anointing conveys the blessing.

⭕️To seek anointing is to seek the manifestation of the blessing.

⭕️The outward display of God’s power, presence and goodness is what we call glory.

⭕️To be anointed is to see good.

Exodus 33:18-19, Acts 10:38, Psalm 23:6

⭕️To be anointed is to be positioned for good.

⭕️The anointing breaks yokes in order to create good in their place. (Isaiah 10:27)

⭕️The anointing is a weapon that removes burdens.

⭕️The anointing makes a man to function supernaturally.

⭕️The anointing makes the doors that were before a man to be opened.

⭕️Our greatest challenge now is the deception of the devil.

⭕️By the anointing, we will avoid deception.

WHAT DOES THE ANOINTING DO?

1.It brings supernatural help (Psalm 89:19)

2.It brings divine lifting and enthronement (Psalm 89:19, 27)

⭕️The anointing comes to make you the top.

⭕️You can’t stay at the bottom when you are anointed.

3.It establishes you in your assignment (Psalm 89:20-21)

4.The anointing brings supernatural strength (Psalm 89:21, 18:34)

5.The anointing makes you to beat enemy deception (Psalm 89:22)

6.The anointing delivers from affliction (Psalm 89:22)

7.It leads to destruction of your enemies and brings you into victory (Psalm 89:23)

8.It makes you to enjoy God’s mercies and favour (Psalm 89:24, Isaiah 60:10)

⭕️Nothing brings a man into favour like the anointing.

⭕️Mercy will lead you into favour.

9.The anointing establishes your authority and dominion (Psalm 89:24-25)

10.The anointing brings expansion and influence (Psalm 89:25)

11.The anointing gives you a deeper and powerful relationship with God and brings you to the realm of answers to prayer (Psalm 89:26-28)

12.The anointing establishes your legacy (Psalm 89:29)

⭕️The place of prayer is the place where fear is subdued.

⭕️The place of prayer is where you remind God to fulfill what He has spoken with His mouth concerning your life (decrees and prophecies).

⭕️If you don’t remind God, decrees and prophecies will just remain hanging.

⭕️The place of prayer is a place where you are filled with the spirit of boldness, and with that spirit you confront situations.

⭕️It causes you to speak with boldness.

⭕️The enemy does not easily give up; he keeps on fighting us.

⭕️It is at the place of prayer where you get relief.

⭕️No matter the situation, the threats of the devil, as a mountainite filled with the spirit of boldness, you should challenge that situation.

⭕️Successful people know how to manage their time.

⭕️Value the prayer altar.

⭕️When it’s time for you to be on your prayer altar, get there.

⭕️There is a big difference between people who pray and those who don’t pray.

⭕️When those who don’t pray are faced with situations, they are filled with fear.

⭕️The Holy Spirit will grant you a sober mind in any situation and He will tell you what to do.

PRAYER POINT:

FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE ASK THAT YOU POWER US TO OUR NEXT LEVELS AS WE ENGAGE ON OUR PRAYER ALTARS ON THIS DAY 2 OF OUR PRAYER AND FASTING SO THAT WE EXPERIENCE NEW THINGS.

DAY 1 OF 3 DAYS MONTHLY COVENANT PRAYER AND FASTING FOR SPIRITUAL EMPOWERMENT

Hebrews 4:16

⭕️A time of need comes to any one of us.

⭕️It may not be today or tomorrow, but it will come someday.

⭕️We need to arm ourselves and get the right weapons to use on the day of battle.

⭕️The time of need is not the time to start searching for scriptures in your notebook.

⭕️You don’t start learning how to pray on the day of battle.

1 Corinthians 16:9, Psalm 66:3, 110:1-2

⭕️Our enemies can only submit to us through the greatness of power.

⭕️You need to power yourself to get power to challenge the enemies.

⭕️After God has empowered you, you will be at rest and will be able to rule in the midst of your enemies.

⭕️Prayer and fasting is primarily for empowerment.

⭕️Only a person who practically gets involved in prayer is the one who gets empowered.

⭕️Prayer and fasting cannot be done in the arm of the flesh, it is God helping us.

⭕️Every believer has a glorious destiny and to attain such a glorious destiny one needs to contend for it.

⭕️Contending forces cannot be contained using good grammar or eloquent speech.

⭕️No matter how good your English is, you can’t dislodge a headache with it.

⭕️Every enemy of destiny can be subdued by prayer, fasting and sacrifice.

⭕️The notes we put in our notebooks cannot help us in time of need. What will help us is what we’ve put inside us.

PRAYER POINT:

  FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE ASK THAT LET EVERY MEMBER OF THIS COMMISSION VALUE PERSONAL PRAYER TIME WHERE WE CAN BE SUPERNATURALLY EMPOWERED, THEREBY, GUARANTEEING US GRACE TO RULE IN THE MIDST OF OUR ENEMIES AS WE SCALE NEW HEIGHTS.

  (HEB 4:16, 1 COR 16:9, PSA 66:3, 110:1-2, 2 TIM 2:15)

Isaiah 40:31, Luke 9:28-29

⭕️The place of prayer (prayer altar) is a place where you learn how to pray and how to pray correctly.

⭕️We are all commanded to know how to pray and pray correctly.

⭕️What do we do when we get on our prayer altars?

⭕️The prayer altar is a place of deep fellowship with God.

⭕️When one is said to be in deep fellowship with God, that person cannot be quiet.

⭕️The prayer altar is a place of transfiguration.

⭕️The prayer altar is a place where you spiritually change levels.

⭕️Spiritual change of levels affects our souls and bodies.

⭕️When you are full of strength in your spirit, that strength can be felt in your soul and physical body.

⭕️You can take whatever negative situation has been lingering around you to the place of prayer and God will tell you what to do.

⭕️It is important for us mountainites to value the place of prayer.

⭕️You cannot say you don’t have grace. The giver of grace is God and he gives grace to those who are willing.

⭕️The place of prayer is a place where we exchange our weaknesses with God’s strength.

John 10:27

⭕️The place of prayer is a place where you learn to hear the voice of God and follow what God is telling you.

⭕️You cannot mistake the voice of God for any other voice.

⭕️When we follow God’s instructions, they will lead to testimonies.

⭕️When we follow God’s instructions, we will not be bundled among people who are full of doubts because we will know what to do.

⭕️When you have tried talking to anyone that’s not listening, do something different.

⭕️Take that matter to the place of prayer and God will tell you what to do regarding that situation.

⭕️Instead of crying and complaining, go on the prayer altar.

⭕️If you prayed yesterday and today, you can pray a little bit more.

⭕️Never waste your precious tears, crying won’t bring solutions.

Philippians 3:10

⭕️The place of prayer is the place where you learn to have more of Jesus.

There is not situation that is too hard for God, if we can believe all things are possible.

PRAYER POINT:

FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, LET THE HOLY SPIRIT BREATHE AFRESH UPON YOUR MESSENGER PASTOR DAVID AND EVERY MOUNTAINITE, THEREBY, EMPOWERING US FOR EFFECTIVENESS ON OUR PRAYER ALTARS.

[Isa 40:31, Luk 9:28-29, John 10:27, Phili 3:10]

1 Corinthians 11:23-26, John 6:48-58, 63

⭕️Miracle meal is not a ceremony or tradition that has to do with eating snacks.

⭕️Miracle meal is not a snack, it is life.

⭕️The Lord Jesus instructed us to take it often as we remember His death.

⭕️Miracle meal is three-dimensional medicine or healing balm – it heals the spirit, soul and physical body.

Jeremiah 8:22

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF EATING MIRACLE MEAL?

1.It imparts us with divine strength (Joel 3:10)

⭕️When your mind is weak, the body will eventually behave the same.

⭕️Every time we partake of the miracle meal, we get the benefit of divine strength.

⭕️Your weakness is exchanged with supernatural strength when you eat miracle meal.

2.It routes out (drives out) every stranger from our bodies

3.It neutralises body poisons

4.It restores mental dignity

5.It has ability to terminate sicknesses, diseases or any form of weakness in our bodies (Matthew 9:12-13)

⭕️Through the consistent practice of eating miracle meal, one receives the help from God to perpetually live in divine health.

⭕️It is one of the greatest prescriptions of the best doctor (Jesus), it empowers us to live like Him.

⭕️No wicked person can shoot a person with eternal life.

⭕️Jesus has never referred any case to anyone.

Joshua 21:44, 23:1, Matthew 11:28-29

⭕️All-round rest is God’s will for His children.

⭕️By redemption, believers are ordained for rest in all areas of their lives and destinies.

⭕️What is all-round rest? It is freedom from worries or challenges of life that affect human beings in this world.

Psalm 62:1-2

⭕️There is need for us to always rely on God.

⭕️Without relying on God, challenges of life will overwhelm us.

⭕️We need working knowledge (not head knowledge) that will take delivery of the covenant of all-round rest.

⭕️There is nothing for free, we need to work for it.

⭕️We must go flat out to search and study.

IN WHAT AREAS DO WE NEED ALL-ROUND REST?

1.HEALTH

2.FINANCES                                  

⭕️There are a lot of problems in homes because of money.

⭕️There are always problems where there is no money.

⭕️There is no romance without finance.

⭕️Money gives you a voice as a believer and makes you stand tall.

⭕️Without money, the gospel is limited.

⭕️Without money, the kingdom of God will not expand.

⭕️It takes money for you to have dominion.

3.ACADEMICS

⭕️No child of God is permitted to be dull.

4.CAREERS / JOBS           

⭕️If you’re not going up (being promoted) in your career, you’re not at peace.

5.BUSINESSES

⭕️We shouldn’t find ourselves in the category where we have been doing business for so many years but still at the same level.

⭕️There should be multiplication in your business.

⭕️You need God’s help to know the kind of business you should do.

6.MARRIAGE

⭕️This is not only for married couples but even for those who are preparing to settle in marriage.

⭕️If you are married to a wrong person, that wrong person is a knife.

HOW CAN WE GET INTO THE REALM OF ALL-ROUND REST?

1.BE BORN AGAIN (John 3:3-7, Revelation 3:20-21)

⭕️There are a lot of believers who are in churches but are not born again.

⭕️If you’re already born again, remain in Christ and keep serving Him.

2.KNOWING (DISCOVERING) YOUR IDENTITY (John 1:12, 20-23, John 7:41, 43-46, 8:44, 1 John 5:4)

⭕️You should know who you are in Christ Jesus.

⭕️We are sons of the Most High God and have no apologies to make for it.

⭕️As our father is in heaven, so are we here on earth.

⭕️What do you say about yourself?

⭕️Can someone say that you are born again and carry the life of God?

⭕️What kind of language comes out of our mouths?

⭕️Our identity is the point of reaction in time of battle.

⭕️You need to know your identity to challenge sickness and disease.

⭕️People who don’t know their identity easily give up.

⭕️The kind of English you speak  cannot handle challenges of life.

⭕️You need to have an encounter with the word of God.

⭕️Speaking in tongues, praying without knowing what is in the word will not help us.

3.BY WINNING SOULS (Ephesians 6:15, Proverbs 11:30)

(GENESIS 1:27-28, DEUTERONOMY 1:11)

⭕️God has a covenant of all-round fruitfulness with his children.

⭕️Fruitfulness is not restricted to bearing children.

⭕️We are supposed to be fruitful in our prayer life, word life, business, careers and everything else that we do.

Deuteronomy 7:14-15

⭕️God’s blessings and covenant of fruitfulness will make us to be above only; making those who see us to want to be like us.

⭕️God is ready to distinguish us from the rest of the people like He did to the Israelites in Goshen.

Psalm 89:3, 34, 103:18

⭕️A covenant is a sworn verdict.

⭕️No one can undo what God has said concerning us His children.

⭕️In order to see the reality of the covenant, we need to engage the terms of the covenant.

⭕️If we don’t engage with the terms of the covenant of fruitfulness we will never see fruitfulness in our lives.

⭕️What is fruitfulness? Producing (yielding) fruits.

What should we know about all-round fruitfulness?

1.Fruitfulness is part of our reward for service (Exodus 23:25-26)

⭕️God is not a taskmaster but a rewarder.

⭕️God does not use people and dump them, He rewards us for faithfully serving them.

⭕️It is important to ask the leading of the Holy Spirit.

⭕️Not every business is meant for you to embark in.

⭕️Not every business partner is meant for you to partner with.

⭕️Not everyone is supposed to be your friend.

⭕️Not every church is meant for you, the Holy  Spirit will direct you to the right church for you.

2.Fruitfulness is our heritage in Christ Jesus (Acts 20:32)

3.We must make a demand for it (Matthew 7:7-8)

⭕️We activate our fruitfulness by force (Matthew 11:12).

⭕️We must ask specific prayers like Hannah (1 Samuel 1:10-11, 17-18, 26-27).

⭕️Only divine ideas can make us rich, not what everyone else is doing.

⭕️We cannot enforce fruitfulness by ourselves, we have to ask God.

4.We must have the Spirit of Joy (Philippians 4:4, 1 Samuel 1:18)

⭕️This will drive us to always find ourselves in the presence of  God.

PRAYER POINT:

FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, ON THIS LAST DAY OF THE MONTH OF SUPERNATURAL HARVESTS, WE MAKE A DEMAND THAT YOU FILL US WITH THE SPIRIT OF JOY, THEREBY, CAUSING US TO PERPETUALLY WALK UPON THE HIGH PLACES.

[HAB 3:17-19, PHIL 4:4, 1 SAM 1:18]

SUNDAY ENCOUNTER SERVICE

FROM GREAT GRACE TABERNACLE,

CHILILABOMBWE, ZAMBIA.

UNDERSTANDING THE HELP MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Acts 1:8, Luke 24:49

-A witness is:

1. a) someone who sees an event and reports what happens.
2. b) a close observer
3. c) someone who looks at something when it was happening.

-There are stages that a Christian has to go through in order to become a witness.

-You are not a witness because you are born again or the Holy Spirit has come upon you.

-When the spirit comes upon you and guides you, there are certain experiences you have as you relate with Him that will cause you to become a witness.

-There are realms, the Holy Spirit will take you to, and what you see there will make you become a witness.

-Not every believer is a witness and not every believer reaches the level of a witness.

-Christians have abused the word witness. They say things like, “we have gone to witness.”

-It is not possible to be a witness without encounters.

-Encounters are by the enablement of the Holy Spirit.

-The spirit draws men closer to God.

-We may not know how weak we are until we get closer to God.

-When we get closer to God, we discover how weak we are and how important it is for us to depend on Him.

-In the secret place, the heart of man is broken and softened.

-In the absence of this, man is a self-centered being.

-The Spirit is the one who sheds light on what you are suppose to eat in terms of spiritual food.

-What you will survive tomorrow is a function of the energy you have gathered from the spiritual food you’re eating today.

-When we get born-again, the Holy Spirit puts the hunger for God and the things of God in us, and He uses that as fuel to drive us.

-The Spirit can’t drive a man without a desire.

-When desire for change, coupled with the right actions in the direction of the change are greater than the force resisting change, change will happen.

-As you desire to change, there will be a resistance.

-Persistence is a series of actions towards your goal.

-To desire change is not enough.

-To have knowledge about what is required to change is not enough.

-To take steps in order to change is not enough.

-It is when all 3 are done and produce a force that is greater than the resisting force that change will occur.

-If what you’re doing to change your life, is equal to the resisting force, you will remain at the same spot and that is what is called stagnation.

-You can have an advocate and a counselor who you have never consulted.

-Most times, we don’t consult the counselor on what to do and that is why all our decisions end up as a disaster.

-The Holy Spirit will teach you what a man can’t teach you.

-The Holy Spirit will remind you about a right thing that you should remember at the right time.

-Something is not good or bad based on how it feels, look at its ability to draw you closer or away from God.

-Anything you do that doesn’t bring you closer to God is a red flag.

-When God convicts you of sin, it is not to take you away from Him but to bring you closer to Him whereas Satan would do that to take you away from God.

-The Holy spirit is a spiritual downloader who downloads heavenly files to manifest on the earth through those people that have fully engaged Him.

-The Holy Spirit is a universal downloader; He downloads any heavenly file that can benefit you.

-The Holy Spirit does not download by Himself, you have to engage Him to download.

WHAT HELPS DOES THE HOLY SPIRIT BRING IN A MAN’S LIFE?

1) HE COUNSELS (John 16:7, Isaiah 11:2)

-The Holy Spirit is a universal counselor; He will give you counsel in any area.

-Before you do something, ask The Holy Spirit for counsel.

-In case you didn’t ask for counsel before getting started, you can still ask.

-A man of God is wise because of his interaction with the Spirit of God.

-You cannot interact with God and not have wisdom.

-Wisdom is full of mercy & good fruits.
