Good Morning Sunshine! Catch That Holy Ghost Fire Today! 

Matthew 3:11 KJV ~ “I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.”

This verse in Matthew makes it clear that there is something to be received other than the baptism of the Holy Ghost, it’s the fire of the Spirit that you should want too. The fire is the anointing of the Spirit that sets the temperature and flames, you need this! When you don’t have the anointing, the fire of the Spirit, your spiritual growth will is hindered. After you receive the baptism of the Spirit don’t think that you can just go to your corner and sit and become complacent and wait on the Lord! Surrender to the fire so that it can prepare and direct you in the great work for that you have to do to win souls for Christ in this final hour. The Holy Spirit is your power for service and the fire is the fuel that makes it go! 

Don’t worry, what you need is already here, Jesus said, “I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him.” John 14:16,17! “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost…shall teach you all things.” John 14:26! The disciples listened to Jesus, and they wanted what He was speaking about! You cannot separate Jesus from the Holy Ghost from, they are one and the same! So many times, people cannot make that distinction, between this. Jesus Christ is The Son of God, The Holy Spirit, also called The Holy Ghost, is the third person in the Trinity of the Godhead! 

You need to surrender yourself completely to the fire of the Holy Ghost; don’t be afraid, it won’t hurt you! Simon did not know how to yield to the Spirit, oh but when he went into the Upper Room he stayed there until he was baptized in the Holy Spirit, until he had received that great power on the inside of him. (Can you tarry with for a little while longer in prayer? I promise it will be worth every minute!) When The Holy Ghost fell on Simon, drastic change took place! Are you ready for this kind of change? “And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Acts 2:3-4! Simon received the Power that enabled him to do the things that Jesus said he could do! The Anointing of The Fire of The Holy Ghost, made it happen! Prayer is a fire starter, once it’s lit, it will spread, and nothing can stop its power! 

Jeremiah described the Word of the Lord like this, “it’s like fire shut up in his bones, and he couldn’t keep it to himself.” Have you ever experienced what Jeremiah was speaking of, it’s that wonder working Power of the Holy Ghost? Jeremiah 20:9! I love what Isaiah said, and God knows it’s the truth; “For with stammering lips and another tongue will he (The Lord) speak to this people and yet, even with the fiery tongue, there will be many who will just not hear Him. Isaiah 28:11! I want you to know apart from Jesus you cannot do anything! John 14:26, “Without me,” Jesus told the disciples, “Ye can do nothing.” And when Jesus finished His work here on earth, God sent the Comforter, which is The Holy Ghost for you and me to have! You need to acknowledge and accept the truth in your heart that you are going to need what Jesus said you must have. 

The baptism of Fire must burn within you, the Anointing of the Holy Ghost will make Jesus Christ come alive in your innermost being so that you will not be an imitation of Him, but the likeness of Him will be seen in you. You will have Him on the inside of you, and you will no longer have to strive to work for Him through your own strength and abilities! Now Jesus Christ and the Power of the Holy Ghost, will be working through you! There is one thing about fire, it’s hot! And where there is fire there is heat! And there is nothing cold about hot fire! When the Holy Ghost lives in you and you let Him work through you, you will be able to stand up and be a witness for the Lord! The Holy Ghost can witness, preach, and pray through you when you yield yourself to Him and obey the Word!

When God’s Power is activated in your life, you become a reflection of Him. And when you surrender and yield to Him, His Fire meets His Flames and causes this to happen to you, a burning on the inside of you for Him like never before, you will want more and more of His Power, Anointing and Fire! Have you received the tongue of Fire yet? Don’t be afraid! Acts 2:38- 39, “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. [39] For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” In this final hour you must have the Fire of God in your life, because the trials, the pressures and sins that are coming against men now are harsher and more deadly than ever. More than ever before, you need to hold on to God’s promise, because where sin abounded, grace did much more abound (Romans 5:20). God’s Grace will make those who yield to Him more than conquerors, Romans 8:37! 

Never has there been an hour such as this! You needn’t be concerned about the enemy, because nothing can stand against the Power of the Holy Ghost in this hour. When you are under the Power of the Holy Ghost, the Spirit will draw your heart to burn for the things of God! This is the hour of the Fiery tongue! Your tongue is meant to be used to be as a witness for the Lord! The greatness of the Lord’s Power is being poured out in this final hour over the land! Call on Him in perfect faith, and you who is faithful will see miracle after miracle. The impact of your Anointing will do much to win the souls of the lost in this hour!

You need to know every day what manner of spirit you carry at all times, because you cannot afford to be deceived about yourself in any way. The Anointing will not flow or rest upon you if you are humble! Keep your eyes on Jesus and His greatness. He is the God of all flesh, and He walks with you and talks with you daily. Call Him any time, He hears you and He will answer you. God is calling you into His arms to give you His faith, love, strength and the Anointing of Fire so that He can be poured out to others through you! Receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost and yield to the molding and the shaping of His Fire in your life! Joy will come as you delight yourself in your Lord, bowing down to His Will and His Way, the way Jesus did, and His Power will rest on you! 

Let’s Pray: 

Thank You Father! Thank You for Your Holy Ghost Fire. Father let Your Fire envelope every area of my life, that I may receive a fresh Anointing from You! Father, Thank You that Your fresh fire can help me make it through whatever is going on in my life. Father, arise in me with Your Power and Presence and may it manifest in every area of my being. Father, if there is anything hindering Your Power from going forward in my life, please uproot it in the Name of Jesus. Father, may Your Holy Ghost fire, sit on my ears, my eyes and my mouth, that I may operate in according to what You say! Father please remove roadblocks, rubbish and obstacles from hindering the flow of Your Anointing in me, clear my way by fire and make my way smooth, in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Father, arise and help me to walk away from the spirit of lukewarmness and procrastination in my life, every spirit that is not like You must die, in the Name of Jesus! Father, let the Holy Spirit fill me restore me, let every unbroken area in my life be broken and let every type of bondage be broken off and out of my life forever! Father please take full control and catapult my spiritual life to the mountain top, that I may see, experience and witness Your signs and wonders in be my life for Your Glory! In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Happy Blessed Good Friday. Celebrate Jesus, for He has Risen!

Good Morning Sunshine! What Are You Carrying?

Mark 4:25 ~ “For to the one who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.”

I want to share an experience I had in December. God sat me down and I mean it literally, and after this amazing encounter with Jesus, I discovered that my heart had been resisting what God was showing me about myself. And instead of embracing His beautiful truth, something deep inside of me tried to keep me in a place that was not good to me or for me. But Thanks be unto God, I didn’t stay there, God saw me through! But this is precisely the result of your enemy, he wants to keep you in bondage and convince you to live in your brokenness instead of the provision that Jesus Christ has provided for you. The enemy will do everything possible to hinder God’s movement through you. Only your faith can unleash the power of God’s promises in you! 1 Peter 5:7, “Cast all of your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”

If you and I want to see God revealed in your midst, you need to know what He says about you in His Word! I read this quote from Chris Oyakhilome, “When the Holy Spirit comes into your life and you allow Him to take charge of your life, He’ll bring in the anointing. The anointing of God’s Spirit will come upon everything you do.” With the concept of the Anointing of God in your mind, let’s now consider what you are carrying. You are carrying the Anointing! The Anointing! When you carry the anointing, you possess weapons of spiritual warfare that are always loaded and ready for use! You are a carrier of the Holy Spirit’s purpose-driven power and have been made equipped with instructions on how to use it.

I want you to do a self-check this morning on this one, when you look at the fruit of the spirit in your own life, you should be aware of the enemy, he has a lie ready for every truth and a substitute for every holy thing. But you need to know that the devil cannot create anything, he just tries to pervert and slow down the things God creates for you, if he can get his hands on them, (stop giving the enemy access to you.) I hope and pray that you know that there is a real and a false version of everything. And it is imperative that you know the difference between real Anointing and a false anointing. The real Anointing comes directly from the Holy Spirit and carries the attributes, character and Presence of God that will confirm that it’s from the God every time. And because of this you are more than a conqueror, so whenever any kind of challenge presents itself to you, you are prepared to handle it!

I believe that the things that are happening in our society and around the world would be healed if you, the believer learned how to carry and operate in the Anointing that God has given you! When you are carrying the Anointing, this means that you are allowing Holy Spirit to lead you in every aspect of your life, no matter how big or small. So many times, you choose to only use the Anointing for specific times, instead of carrying it with you wherever you go. When God has given you His Anointing you must carry it with you wherever you go, you cannot be separated from it, because when you do that, you are leaving God out too!

The Anointing from God is Authentic! The Anointing is Active! The Anointing is Available! The Anointing is the outflow of His Presence in your life and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is the inflow that turns your ordinary into His extraordinary; and the Anointing is the outflow that gives you power to serve. This how God puts His Super on your Natural and this Anointing is a part of the Abundant Life that He wants you to live!

How you walk and flow in the Anointing, is a direct reflection between you and your intimacy with God. The greater your intimacy is, the greater level of Anointing you will flow in! I have some good news to tell you, there is no barriers between you and God except the ones that you create. Now how do you know that you have the true Anointing? It’s when the Holy Spirit empowers you to accomplish any the task in front of you! When you carry the Presence of the Holy Spirit, He helps you do what you need to do, your ordinary becomes extraordinary by the Power and Presence of God!

Let’s Pray:
Father, thank You for this day. Thank You for being with me, guiding me and caring so deeply about me. Thank you, Father, for your unfailing love and constant promises. Today, I am praising You for filling me with Your Anointing. Father fill me with Your Wisdom and discernment, that I may know what is real and from You and what is false and that I will put it under my feet, in the Name of Jesus. Father I plead the Blood of Jesus Christ over me, my family, my friends, my community, city, state and nation. Holy Spirit teach me today how to pray for this world like never before. Father, I ask for Your peace when I become anxious, knowing that I can cast all of my worries, problems, and trials on You. Thank You that You are my Rock and my Redeemer and a very present help in time of need. Father, thank You for carrying me. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

Good Morning Sunshine! Is The Word of God Like A Fire To You?

Jeremiah 20:9 AMP ~ If I say, “I will not remember Him Or speak His name anymore,” Then my heart becomes a burning fire Shut up in my bones. And I am weary of enduring and holding it in; I cannot endure it [nor contain it any longer].”

Sometimes you just have to repeat a word, (this is a repeated word, that we all need to hear)! I just can’t keep the Word of God to myself, I have to share it with everyone that I meet. His Word is like a Fire that you just can’t keep to yourself, you have to let it out! In the words of my grandmother, “there is more room out than it is inside.” Share your testimony with someone else, don’t just keep it to yourself, somebody needs to hear your story! In this hour, you cannot afford to keep silent, you have to speak the word that God has put on the inside of you, even if you have to suffer for a little while. God’s Word has to get out, it has to reach others that they might be saved. If you have been holding the word in and you feel heat, it’s the fire of God’s Word wanting to come out!

Do you have a yearning in for the Word of God? Does your heart burn when you think about the Word of God? Do you have a heart for the Word of God? Is the Word of God burning in your heart? All these questions are different but the one thing that is the same about them is, “Do you have a heart for God?” It’s called Passion for God’s Word and He put it on the inside of you before you were even formed! When you experienced this kind of fire in your heart you just can’t keep it to yourself, you have to share it! Free yourself by speaking what Thus says the Lord!

Because of the fire that is on the inside of you, you will run into challenges and sometimes it may feel like you are being rejected and attacked on every side because of your obedience and faithfulness to God’s Word. But hang in there, God knows, Job 23:10, “But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.” I know that things may be hard during times, and you may even want to abort the mission that God has sent you on, but hold on, God will give you exactly what you need, He got you. Galatians 6:9, “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Hang in there, God knows, God sees, and God is going to take care of you. When you are concerned about His Word, He will be concerned about what you are concerned about. When you speak the Word of God, God watches over it to perform exactly what it is supposed to do!

God has a purpose for you, and you can’t run from it or ignore it any longer, that is why it feels like a burning fire shut up in your bones; so that you won’t keep it to yourself, you have to let it out! The Lord’s Presence is real in your life and the burden of His message is strong, and you cannot resist telling someone about Him, somebody needs to hear God’s Word from you! You must continue striving, speaking and serving God, regardless of how you feel or the consequences you will face! God is not moved by our emotions, but He is moved by the posture of your heart in prayer!

The fire in your bones is to fulfill your divine mandate from God! When the fire of the Holy Ghost is burning violently on the altar of your heart, you will rise up with holy power and boldness that will cause commotion in the camp of the enemy that has tried you. As a matter of fact, the Power that God has given you will cause the enemy to run in the opposite direction when you pass by. And your mouth is so full of fire that if the wrong kind of spirit tries to follow you, and they will be silenced by the Fire of God immediately in Jesus Name!

When this kind of the fire is burning on the inside of you; you just can’t keep it to yourself no matter what they say or do, you’ve got to let it out or it will consume you! Ask God for your next thought, that you may speak exactly what He wants you to speak! You have someone’s word on your lips, release it, that you may be released! His Word will bring good to you and Glory to His Name!

Let’s Pray:

Thank You God for the fire of the Holy Ghost. I surrender my mouth, mind and body to You. Fill me with Your Word and Power today.  Lord, please keep me on task and use me for Your assignment. Let the Fire of Holy Ghost Power lead me to do even greater things for Your Kingdom. Let every word that comes out of my mouth be full of Your fire and impact all who hears it, including me, as I read Your Word out loud. Lord let me never be the same, let me be changed by the Fire and Power of Your Word in Jesus Christ Name. Amen!!!

Today, read and pray out loud that you may hear yourself, then ask God for the Fire of His Holy Power to take control and then you just watch what God does!

Blessings…
