Get To Know The Holy Spirit

The Bible says that the Seed of Abraham is Christ and if you belong to Christ, you are Abraham’s seed and therefore, heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29). That’s why I just can’t accept poverty. Nobody is going to hand poverty over to me. I refuse to be described as poor because I’m not. I’m Abraham’s seed. I know who I am. I’m not an ordinary person; I’m an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ! (Romans 8:17).
There’s a place for you in God. It’s a place of health where you have dominion over sickness and disease. It’s a place of wealth where lack, want and poverty are all aliens. There’s such a place and that’s where I live.
Paul describes this ethereal place in Hebrews 12:22:

“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels” (Hebrews 12:22).
Every time I meet a brother or sister who’s from this place, I know it. I’ve seen some of them. I also know those who are still looking for this place. They’re trying to get there but it’s no use, because you ought to be born in there! Many are babies in there and don’t know what it is to live there. Some others have strayed out of there to some other city, but the life in the city I’m talking about is one way only.
I read a beautiful story about Smith Wigglesworth. It was said that he was out when his wife died. When he returned home and was told his wife had died, he said, “She didn’t tell me before she died. How could she die without permission?”
He then laid hands on her in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and called her back to life. She woke up and he asked her why she didn’t inform him she was going to die. She told him it was time for her to go and that she really wanted to go. So he said, “It’s alright, but you should have told me.” Then he let her sleep and she was gone. That’s a man from our city!
Believe this: When the Holy Spirit comes to live in you, you become His headquarters; His centre of operation. He comes alive in your body and makes it His home.

BEGIN TO PROPHESY!
Child of God, this is how to pray! Don’t stay there whining, “I don’t know why I didn’t get the job. After all, I was more qualified than the others. This bad luck has followed me for so many years.”

What do you mean bad luck? Prophesy about your future and declare: “I don’t know any bad luck. The Bible declares that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. I love God and He has called me according to His divine purpose. Therefore, everything is working out for my good, in the Name of Jesus!”

Don’t you dare give up on the visions God has shown you. Straighten up, square your shoulders, chest out, chin up, and elbow the devil out of your way!
Push your way through every obstacle as you speak words of power. The walls will crumble before you and the seas will divide, and you will go through victoriously!
Now that you’ve found out you can prophesy about your future, it’s time to make your move. It’s time to prophesy! Prophesy about your life and your future; talk the Word about your ministry, your body, your family, your job, your finances, your country, and everything that concerns you.

See your progress instead of stagnation, and declare these words with all boldness and authority:“ I refuse to fear. I see things changing for the best. I am fully persuaded that my God is able to perform that which He has spoken concerning me. Therefore I refuse to stagger at His Word, and I remain strong in faith, giving glory to God. My health is blossoming; my finances are increasing. I see my progress. I see my prosperity. I see my promotion. I see it! Glory to God!

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. I have the ability of God in me. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. The anointing is upon me, causing me to make progress and move forward. I’m getting better, stronger and greater by the day. I’m walking in victory, in the Name of Jesus Christ!
Open your mouth now and speak words of faith and power. Prophesy the Word of God to your life everyday and to your future, and watch it come to pass. Glory to God.

BEGIN TO PROPHESY! 2
Peter, reiterating Joel’s prophecy, said, “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:This ought to let you know that as a child of God, filled with the Holy Spirit, you have received the enablement to speak words of power. Remember again, that one of the two aspects of prophecy is speaking FORTH the Word of God. As you speak forth the Word concerning you under the anointing, you are prophesying upon your life, and what you say is what you get.

You’re going to have to learn to prophesy to your life and your future. You need to know this: Your future is in your mouth. You’re fully responsible for your future, nobody else is. There are no limits to what you can imagine and make out of your life. That’s because God has set the world (that means all of eternity) in the hearts of men (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
Every time you speak about your life or your future, you’re actually prophesying. The only problem is you may have been a ‘false prophet.’ Romans 3:4 says, “God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.” So if God has said something about you and you’ve been saying something else, then you’ve been lying. You’ve made yourself a false prophet over your own life!
For instance, if God has said you’re a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17) and your path is as the shining light, that shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18), and you say, “I don’t feel like one, I don’t think I am. I think I need to be born again all over again. I don’t understand my life anymore. My future looks so bleak and hopeless. I’m not living; I’m merely existing,” then you’re lying. You’ve made yourself into a false prophet.
I wish you would understand the power of prophecy. Did you know that from that ‘zero point’ where you are, you can chart a new course for your life and determine your future through words of power?
Yes, you can! You can prophesy about your life and declare the future you want to have from now.
You might feel like the most neglected person on the face of the earth. You may be all alone in your room, crying because you feel like everything has gone bad. In the midst of your tears, you can begin to prophesy to yourself and say, “Thus saith the Lord unto you, I am with you, son. I am your Shepherd; therefore, you shall not want”
You may be in pain, but you call your name and declare to yourself, “You’re coming out of this pain in the Name of Jesus. I prophesy to you, you’re coming out of this!” Hallelujah!
Many times we’re waiting on somebody to utter a word for us to be blessed, but we’re the children of the word, and the word concerning us has already been given. You don’t have to wait for someone else to come and declare that to you. You can tell it to yourself.
That’s the way I’ve been talking all these years and that is all I have experienced, no ups-and-downs, just the upward and forward life.
The Lord carried Ezekiel away in the Spirit to a valley which was full of bones. They were very dry in that open valley.
Ezekiel looked at the bones and it was a hopeless situation. The Lord asked him, “Can these bones live?” and he replied, “Lord, it’s up to You.” That’s what we say to God sometimes when He asks us, “Can these things change?” We tell Him it’s up to Him; if He wants things to change, they will, and if He doesn’t, they’ll remain the way they are. If God were running everything and running everyone’s life the way many of us think He is, then He certainly has everything in a mess. He’s not running everything. The fact is that many people are running their own lives, and many others have handed the reins of their lives to the devil.
I heard about a man who was in a church meeting where the preacher was explaining to the people how they were responsible for the things happening in their lives. This man got up and angrily stomped out of the church. Someone asked him at the door why he was leaving and he said he didn’t agree with the preacher. He was angry at the preacher for “trying to blame us for everything.”
You see, people would rather lay the blame of their misfortunes on God. Once they don’t understand why certain things are happening, you’ll hear them say, “God works in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform.” “We can’t tell how God is going to move. He might choose to bless us someday.”
God doesn’t run anybody’s life that way. If you study the Bible, you’ll see that He has actually given us the power to influence our destiny, to control our future and whatever happens to us in life. You can actually affect your life, your future, and your own world. So whatever becomes of you is really up to you!
David Yongi Cho also tells a similar story of a woman who came to him and said, “Pastor, help me! My daughter is making the whole family sick. She’s such a wayward, evil sinner. I’ve prayed to God and nothing has changed...” she ranted on and on. “ Woman, you’re in greater trouble than your daughter!” Pastor Cho chided. Can’t you just for a moment see a beautiful, successful, honest, decent daughter?”
“ Oh no, Pastor. You don’t know my daughter” she said. “She’s wayward. Right now as we speak, she’s in a hotel somewhere with some man. We’re all embarrassed; we don’t know what to do with her.” “ Don’t talk like that!” Pastor Cho rebuked her again. “ I can’t help it,” she replied. “ Well, as long as you see your daughter like that, that’s the way she’s going to be. But you can decide to see her coming back home born again, filled with God’s Spirit, a wonderful Christian,” he told her. “ Oh, that would be wonderful,” she said. Then he told her he wasn’t going to pray until she started seeing that, and instructed her to write this down and declare it everyday:
“ My daughter is born-again. She’s filled with the Spirit. She’s a wonderful Christian and she’s coming back home.” She took the slip home and read it out loud to herself again and again everyday until she got so filled with it, she began to see it.
Several weeks later, she went back to Pastor Cho and announced excitedly, “Pastor, my daughter is a wonderful Christian. She’s saved; she’s full of the Holy Spirit and she’s coming back home. Oh, I just can’t wait, thank you Lord!” She was filled with such joy, they had a hard time calming her. “ Now we can pray!” Pastor Cho said and he prayed a simple prayer of agreement with her. A few days later, very late in the night, there was a knock on the door. She opened the door and there stood her daughter! She told her mother she didn’t know what came over her in the hotel room, but she got rid of the man and came right home, and now she wanted Jesus in her heart. She was born-again and filled with the Holy Ghost that night. Glory to God! Don’t tell me it doesn’t work. You can prophesy your future. Your future is right in your mouth!
