I was trying to make a video clip and I lost 2.5 hours worth of work but I remembered what the preacher taught! This is from Ezekiah Francis. He is an apostle from India and he really loved the presence of God in our church, (www.theoasis.ca or "Kinburn Revival" on Facebook, Kinburn Revival on YouTube).
He said that there is nothing to wait for. "Quit singing, "One day, one day..." We have already gotten all we are going to get. The main key is to release the power of the Holy Ghost inside of us. We have all the creative power of the universe inside of us already." (ref. Col. 1:27).
I believe that. God promised to meet all our needs according to his riches in glory (ref. Phil.4:19). Thank God he didn't say Heaven. We can get to the glory realm every time we worship, are thankful, by sowing and obeying. Those are the four main doors that I have discovered thus far (another teaching for another day)
In his presence we should ask Holy Spirit what we are allowed to decree or call into being. That's the time to speak all the prophesies that you have over your life. That's the time to pull down the provision you are waiting on. That's the time to obey whatever Holy Spirit says to do or say.
You might think I am crazy and that's okay, but God did that! He waited till Holy Spirit was moving before he spoke things into being. (Gen. 1:1-3) Even Jesus learned to wait upon Holy Spirit. He himself said, I can only do what I see my Father in Heaven doing. (John 5:19) Since he was on earth when he spoke this, he was relying on Holy Spirit to show him what was going on in Heaven much the same way we need to wait on Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit is the only God agent on the earth. He is our guide to walking in the spirit, too all things pertaining to life and godliness (ref. 2Pet. 1:3).
Ezekiah then mentioned 3 keys to releasing the rivers inside of us.
1. Expand your spirit. Reading your bible will really help. He reads 10 chapters in his bible every day. We read a lot of commentaries and how to books in the Western World but many of us have gotten away from reading our bibles (myself included). We need to strengthen ourselves with His might in our spirits. (ref. Eph 3:16)
2. Guard your heart. Proverbs. 4:23 reads, "Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life." We (myself included) need to be careful what we are allowing into our ears and eyes-- our spiritual gates.
3. Listen! One word from God can change your life. Reading your bible will help you tune your spirit back to heaven's frequency. According to Ezekiah, the very best way to grow in your listening ability is to pray in tongues, then ask for the interpretation. Speak in tongues at least 1 hour a day and ask for the interpretation every so often.
I started out as a baby christian singing in tongues and the song's were helping me so much that I blurted out, "What am I singing Holy Spirit?" I immediately got the interpretation. I really do believe we have not because we ask not (ref. James 4:2).
Ezekiah prays in tongues a minimum of 3 hours before every service to prepare for it. He challenged us to pray in tongues for one hour a day, asking for the interpretation so we would grow.
As I was writing down these notes in my journal I got, "We will yet do greater things than these!" Holy Spirit wants this for us.
So I decided to give what he said a try. I have a hard time setting aside the time to read 10 chapters at once but I can do 1 chapter in the morning, one at lunch, one at supper etc. I was pleasantly surprised how peaceful I became after a stressful morning. It works! Reading one chapter of my bible helped me to refocus and I realized that what was bothering me wasn't really important in the grand scheme of things.
May I dare you to try this out? It's helping me. I know we are all busy, but he's worth more than anything in our lives-- isn't he?
Let me bless you now. "I bless you with the ability to press in for more of God. May you (and I) always have a hunger for his word and His presence. May the zeal of the Lord consume us and may we seize the moments every day to obey and bring his Kingdom to the earth. I declare you are blessed to be a blessing everywhere you go, in Jesus' name. Thank You Jesus that signs and wonders follow us as we obey your promptings today. Amen!"
Big hugs,
