EVERYDAY WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (13)

Esteem Readers, You are God's Special Eternal Project, because your worth and integrity begins to function on earth, I find it obligatory to stand in the gab everyday with you. No matter the battle with the world of darkness against you, the Spirit of God is our sure victory. (click on the image to read the full text of what the Spirit is saying...)   

The Holy Spirit in the Bible

EZEKIEL

Ezekiel 2:2 “Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me and set me upon my feet and I heard Him who spoke to me.”

You can know the entrance of the Spirit into you; you can hear Him speak to you; and you can know what He does with you “set me on my feet.” All these were necessary to Ezekiel for the work God had assigned him to do (Read verses 3-10).

Ezekiel 3:12 “The Spirit lifted me up, and I hear behind me a great thunderous voice: Blessed is the glory of the Lord from His place.”

You can know the lifting up of the Spirit, hear the frightening sound of His voice He declares the blessing of His glory.

Ezekiel 3:14 “So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me.”

The Holy Ghost lifted Ezekiel up, took him away from where he was to a destination (v 15).

You may feel the tension and anxiety of the human spirit within, but as long as the strong hand of the Lord remains on you, your mission must be accomplished. Amen!

Ezekiel 3:24 “Then the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet, and spoke to me and said to me: ‘Go, shut yourself inside your home’”.

Ezekiel repeats the process of the dealing of the Spirit with him, but here there is an additional commitment assigned for him to do; to shut himself in the house; this could be the same Holy Spirit message for you now, you might have been roaming and lingering about in despair and hopelessness. Do it now, do not procrastinate any longer. Sure He is talking to you right now!

Ezekiel 8:3 “…and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem…”

Another experience of a practical lifting up, Ezekiel was suspended between earth and heaven and carried to Jerusalem. As stewards in the vineyard, we must avail ourselves and desire divine transport to our designated duty posts.

Ezekiel 11:1 “Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the East gate of the Lord’s house …And there at the door of the gate were twenty five men…”

Here the Holy Ghost took Ezekiel to a particular entrance of the house of the Lord and showed him some people (vs. 2). As we remain sensitively faithful to the leading of the Holy Spirit, wickedness must surely be exposed in the church today in the name of Jesus. Amen!

Ezekiel 11:5 “Then the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me, Speak! Thus you have said, Oh house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.”

Thank God for His Spirit's gift of discerning and exposing hidden hearts intentions (vs. 6-7)  (see comment on 11:1).

Ezekiel 11:24 “Then the Spirit of the Lord took me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those in captivity…”

The Holy Spirit is the power-transporter. With him there should be no struggles and stress for passport and visa acquisitions. Praise the Lord, He is taking me to the nations to win souls and make disciples in Jesus' Name. Amen!

Ezekiel 36:27 “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statues, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

What a covenant keeping God! He fulfils His word only by His Spirit; He gives a new heart and puts a new Spirit (vs26). He is sufficiently gracious to take our place in the contract to ensure our fulfillment and satisfaction. Amen!

Ezekiel 37:1 “The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones.”

Ezekiel might have  felt the laying of the hand of the Lord and realized His supernatural transport in the Spirit to one of his most challenged mission location; the valley of dry bones! God's consecrated and sanctified instrument must be ever ready to be sent to most dreaded and impossible mission fields. He knows and you know too, that He is the giver of life in abundance (Jn. 10:10) and nothing is impossible with Him. By His mighty Spirit's move there is no no-go area for us in Jesus Name. Amen!

Ezekiel 37:14 “I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live,  and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it, says the Lord.”

This is similar to Gods pronouncement in Ezekiel 36:27. As we continue to remain conscious of His forever abiding Spirit’s presence, we shall obviously remain alive and possess our Kingdom citizenship inheritance.

Ezekiel 39:29 “And I will not hide My face from them any more for I shall have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel, says the Lord.”

What a thrilling promise! Of course His Spirit has been out poured on us. And what a divine privilege of working in His result oriented glorious confinements!

Ezekiel 43:5 “The Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple.”

Hallelujah! The Spirit’s lifting ushers into divine inner chambers, yes, into the deep things of God where His inevitable glory fully occupies our entirety! This scenario maintains a fulfilled ministry. Amen (Read verses 5-7).
