Take Your Hands Out of It

This weekend was an amazing weekend for me because I got a chance, with my own eyes, see the Holy Spirit deliver and heal a woman.  I told myself that I would not share this with the world, but I cannot hold this one back.

On Sunday, during alter call/prayer, the Lord led me to pray for a woman.  The Holy Spirit showed me the demons that infested her and each demon was delivered from this woman by the power of the Holy Spirit.  However, before I prayed for her the Holy Spirit also showed me how bound she was with certain evil spirits.  As I was praying, the demons attempted to fight back and it was definitely a battle in the supernatural; but there is nothing too hard for Christ to handle.

As the church partnered with me in prayer, we all watched the Holy Spirit have victory over the oppressive  spirits that had been tormenting this woman for some time.  None of us did anything; it was totally and 100% a work of the Holy Spirit.

Humans are too imperfect to accomplish such a task as this, and during any manifestation and demonstration of the Holy Spirit, it is never us; it is ALL CHRIST!  When any kingdom that opposes the Kingdom of God attempts to desecrate and defile any of Christ's children, Christ will always be victorious over demonic encroachments.

Most people say and proclaim the phrase,"the Kingdom of God," but I am afraid that many Christians use this phrase without understanding the magnitude of power that the Kingdom holds over the all things.  There can be assaults that are attempted against the Kingdom of God, but none of those attempted assaults can prosper.  It is very interesting that Satan actually believes Satan has power over Christ's people; but when Christ's people abide in the secret place of the Most High, Satan and Satan's demons will scatter so quickly that they would not have any clue what hit them!

Satan knows he is defeated, but Satan wants to bind as many Christians as possible.  Satan wants Christians to belong to Satan's kingdom before Christ returns for the church.  Satan wants as many Christians as possible to fall prey to him so that they can burn in hell with Satan and his agents.  Please believe the phrase that states,"misery loves company," because misery is determined to have more miserable company apart of misery's kingdom.

In addition to our witnessing of the Holy Spirit's work, we understand, as a church, that all we have to do, as Christians, is just show up and submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit's power and work; and the Holy Spirit will do the rest.  We do not have to do anything on our behalf.  All we have to do is pray, fast, and be obedient to the Lord.  It is in our obedience to Christ that will destroy and break yokes.  When we are obedient to Christ, we begin to operate and function in the manner of Christ; and when this happens, Christ anoints us to break and destroy yokes.  It is the anointing that destroys and breaks yokes; Christ is the yoke breaker!  Not us!  We are not yoke breakers and destroyers, but Christ chooses who Christ wants to destroy and break yokes.

The Kingdom of God reigns over heaven and earth, and there is no greater power than the Kingdom of God.  Your pastor may be able to build a new church, but his power is not greater than the power of Christ.  Your bishop may be able to call Obama, call Bill Clinton, or the mayor, or congressman, or get you half-court seats to the L.A. Lakers game, but that power is only earthly power and not heavenly power; and that power is definitely not God's Kingdom power.  Remember, it is not by our might, nor by our power, but it is by the Spirit!

One of the main issues that Christians wrestle with is the quest for power; and most of the time it is earthly power that many Christians strive to receive; and even if Kingdom power is desired, God's power is so great that sometimes many Christians abuse the power of God to gain earthly power and notoriety.  Earthly power only lasts for a few days, but Kingdom power of Christ lasts forever and should only be used to please Christ and not our fleshly desires and wants.

All Christians, including me, must get over this quest for earthly power: earthly power will not sustain our salvation.  Christ is the only sustainer of all things.  All we have to do is submit through prayer, fasting, and obedience and God the Holy Spirit will do the rest.  It is really that easy.  In fact, that is the formula: Prayer times Fasting divided by studying the Holy Scriptures times obedience SQUARED equals a Demonstration from the Holy Spirit.  This equation was given to me by the Holy Spirit and has a flawless and undefeated record of victory!

In conclusion, if there is anything that you want God to do for you, TAKE YOUR HANDS OUT OF IT!  Let God the Holy Spirit do it; perhaps the Holy Spirit is one of the reasons why Christ sent the Holy Spirit!  Do not be afraid of the Holy Spirit and do not be afraid to pray to the Lord for guidance, direction, and clarity on how to operate and function properly for Christ's Kingdom Agenda that must be achieved.

I see you taking a few steps away from your situation and allowing the Holy Spirit to work for you.  There is another phrase that states,"work smarter, not harder!"  If you lean and submit to the Holy Spirit I promise you that Christ will take care of everything you need taken care of; and perfectly.  I see you loving the Lord even more because you have actually given the Holy Spirit the opportunity to take the baggage off of your back.  I see depression and stress being lifted from your heart and mind, by taking your hands out of it!  Take YOUR HANDS OUT OF THIS ONE, and let the HOLY SPIRIT WORK FOR YOU!  You do not work in the Holy Spirit's place, but the Holy Spirit will work for you!  Trust me, you are too weak, powerless, and imperfect to handle this one by yourself.  

Go in peace and God bless you richly!

IN Christ!
