I AM THE VOICE OF GOD. 

Galatians 5:25- “We must live in the Holy Spirit and follow after Him”

Self-control [temperance] as a fruit of the Spirit actually means lordship or spirit-strength.

The fruit of the Holy Spirit is LIMITLESS.

Romans 8:11

So who are you following in your life? Holy Spirit or yourself, or others?

PLEASE SIGNAL YOUR DIRECTION

YOU CAN BE SWIMMING IN HIS VERY HEARTBEAT.

So What is Holy Spirit’s intention towards us? What is His purpose?

Psalm 51:6 reads “ I know that You delight to set Your truth deep in my spirit so come into the hidden places of my heart and teach me wisdom Holy Spirit.”

And when the day of Pentecost had fully come…they were all together in one place Acts 2:1

Waiting for the Promise of the Father… Who is the Holy Spirit. 

Jesus said : John 14:26 “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. that Holy Spirit would teach us all things.”

When we wait on God, Holy Spirit comes and renews our minds, refreshes our souls, restores our bodies, and fills our spirits.

Isaiah 40:31-

The outer court is where we walk, the Holy Place is where we run, and we soar like eagles [ascending]  [into the heavenly realm] in the HOLY OF HOLIES Heb 10:19

ASCEND

Those who wait for Yahwen’s grace… shall ascend to the high place under His Shadow, hearing the Voice of God, Holy Spirit Himself, and walk in victory. [ Word to me.]

The Word in Isaiah 11 prophesies the truth that Jesus as the Messiah would have the sevenfold Spirit of God resting on HIm. 

Jesus our Christ, our Messiah, fulfilled every prophetic Word spoken about Him in the Old Testament as Holy Spirit rested on Him.

This portion of Scripture in Isaiah 11:2-3-identifies Who Holy Spirit is and what He has given us, even as He rested on Jesus, HE RESTS ON US AND IN US.

The Spirit of Yahweh- the spirit of prophecy, the manifest Presence of God resting on the Lord Jesus. See John 1:32-33

1. The Spirit of the Lord- the outpouring
2. The spirit of Extraordinary Wisdom Eph 1:17-18
3. The spirit of  Perfect Understanding . Dan 1:17
4. The spirit of Wise Strategy
5. The spirit of Mighty Power
6. The Spirit of Revelation
7. The spirit of the Fear of Yahweh

These seven spirits are also in Rev 1:4-6- “May the kindness of God’s grace and peace overflow to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are in front of His throne, and from Jesus Christ the Faithful Witness the Firstborn from among the dead and the ruling King, who rules over the kings of the earth! Now to the ONE who constantly loves us and has loosed us from our sins by His own blood and to the ONE who has made us to rule as a kingly priesthood to serve his God and Father- to him be glory and dominion throughout the eternity of eternities! Amen!” 

Rev 5:6

THE SEVENFOLD SPIRIT OF GOD IS THE ILLUMINATING INFLUENCE OVER GOD’S PEOPLE

“ Be faithful to guard the sweet harmony of the HOLY SPIRIT among you in the bonds of peace, being one body and one spirit, as you were all called into the same glorious hope of divine destiny.” Ephesians 4:3

JESUS- Isaiah 11:4-5-”with righteousness He will uphold justice for the poor and defend the lowly of the earth. His words will be like a scepter of power that conquers the world, and with His breath He will slay the lawless one. Righteousness will be His warriors’ sash and faithfulness His belt.”

It’s His Breath in our lungs. His EMPOWERING PRESENCE that glorifies our God. Our Friend, Holy Spirit is that BREATH OF GOD.

We are His resting place. Is 11:10 –  [glory or kabod]…the bride of Christ is His resting place. Song 1:16-17 

Psalm 23:2 he offers a resting place for me.. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace.

ARISE in the fullness of your union with Your Lord. Phil 4:1IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.

I will say to you to COME FORTH!

PRAISE

by Pastor Marie Esposito

Give God permission to change your life right now. Worship is my warfare- my praise is a weapon
I WILL bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth Psalm 34
PRAISE elevates us – PRAISE lifts us up
PRAISE raises us up – PRAISE aligns us
PRAISE OPENS A PORTAL TO AN OPEN HEAVEN
PRAISE causes us to ascend to where He lives in the kingdom of the Most HIGH GOD
PRAISE lifts our vision to SEE HIM
PRAISE is a place we live with an
ATTITUDE OF THANKSGIVING- He inhabits our praise
We need to be filled with Praise to Him
so we are filled WITH HIM
AT THE READY…
AT THE READY…
AT THE READY…
All things work together for good for those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28
ALL FOR HIS PURPOSE
TO DISPLAY HIS MAJESTY
THROUGH US

Holy Spirit is The Resident in my heart, in the inner court, expressing His love to me and through me.
He is not a visitor.

Let the high praises of God be in my mouth and a two edged sword in my Hand. why? To execute vengeance on the nations, to bind their kings with chains, their nobles with iron fetters.
This is our honor as the saints of the Lord. Psalm 149

HE GETS BIGGER AND BIGGER AND THE ENEMY GETS SMALLER AND SMALLER UNTIL THE ENEMY DISAPPEARS FROM VIEW AND ALL WE SEE IS HIS HEART OF BEAUTY.

FORGIVE FORGIVE FORGIVE

Release the offense and the offender as well. REST IN HIS ARMS [God] AND SEE THE OFFENDER IN HIS ARMS AS WELL. – Matt 11:6
Are you sharing the true gospel?
Have you been persecuted for righteousness sake? Offended because you are a Christian?
Mocked? Rejected? Misunderstood? Pushed aside? Disrespected? Accused? Cast Aside?
Whipped? Beaten? Spit on? Stoned? Crucified?
Hebrews 12: 3 – We have not yet resisted unto blood.

Do not hold grudges. Keep short accounts.
Philippians 4:8 – Whatsoever is true and honest and just and pure, and lovely, virtuous or praiseworthy; think on these things.
Let heaven fill your thoughts. Colossians 3:2

Forgive forgive forgive

We say: ABBA WE BELONG TO YOU, YOU ARE OUR DELIGHT AND OUR DESIRE.
KEEP GOING. DON’T QUIT.

We praise Him because we value Him!
Praise is the element of celebration that can transport us into the throne room of God right in the midst of the place we find ourselves in.

God is looking for true worshipers who worship Him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24
YADAH- means to praise with extended, lifted up hands. SURRENDERED TO HIM

JUDAH – means praise- it also means to throw or shoot a stone or arrow at your enemy.

PRAISE AND WORSHIP ARE OUR STRONGEST WEAPONS OF WARFARE.

Resting in His victory in the midst of praises brings His Presence in peace. Then we SEE HIM.
Satan hates it. He wants us to worship him

We give thanks for each and every aspect of God’s nature and character. Right where we are now.

As we worship with our hands outstretched our daily provision is released.

PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING ARE THE OPPOSITE OF WORRY AND ANXIETY.

THERE IS A FOUNTAIN AND A WELL
DEEP INSIDE YOU.

Embrace the cost and experience the real fruit of praise all the time.

Psalm 134 a song to bring you higher… All his loving priests who serve and sing, come and sing your song of blessing to God. Come and stand before him in the house of God throughout the night watch, lifting up your hands in holy worship; come and bless the Lord! May the Lord, whom you worship, the mighty Maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion’s glory!

BE RENEWED AND STRENGTHENED AND FORTIFIED in your personal relationships, in your personal trusts, and in your personal victories through ALMIGHTY GOD WHO IS WORTHY TO BE PRAISED!!!

Ascending

by Pastor Marie Esposito

When Jesus was baptized, the new heavens were opened up to Him inaugurating this era of an open heaven through Christ for us. Then when He ascended, Jesus opened the door for us to enter the throne room and have audience with the Ancient of Days. Jesus sat down at the right hand of God: always to make intercession for us. His journey is one we are to follow.

Acts 1:2-3
Then Jesus told them to wait in Jerusalem until the received the Gift: the baptism in the Holy Spirit and filled with power to be His witnesses.
THEN HIS VISIBLE PRESENCE ASCENDED
This happened on Pentecost. It is still happening now,
Holy Spirit is the One Who teaches us about Jesus, the Christ.
He unfolds the truth about who Jesus is and who we are to become just like He did with the earlier disciples.
It’s the Truth of the gospel
Romans 1:17
Ephesians 6:2
Resurrection Life
The work of Christ
the ascension as we rise to look like Him
Revelation 6:2
Romans 8

Proverbs 21:11

To worship, bowing down low, studying His Word, spending time with Him, praying the effectual fervent prayers for the lost in agreement with Holy Spirit and Jesus, WE DISPLAY HIS GLORY IN OUR LIVES THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
When WE PROCLAIM WHO HE IS, it intimidates the enemy.
WHEN WE PROCLAIM WHO WE ARE in Him, it destroys the enemy.
Isaiah 60:1-4
THIS IS WHY WE ASCEND. HE PAID THE PRICE FOR US TO SHINE. LET’S DO IT!

This is my comfort in my affliction,
that Your word has revived me and given me life.
Your statutes are my songs…
YOU, The Lord ARE my PORTION
