Spirit-Enabled Times

We are living in a time when many things have moved away from established standards and godly norms. Morality is no longer guided by absolute truth; instead, people pursue whatever brings them satisfaction and personal pleasure. It was into a similarly uncertain world that Jesus spoke to His disciples about His departure. Yet, He did not leave them without hope—He promised to send the Holy Spirit.

The very first thing the Spirit did was enable them.

Enablement is one of the greatest gifts the Holy Spirit offers believers.

Despite it being a new month and a new week, I began this season feeling weary and tired—not emotionally, but physically. My body felt drained and overworked, even though I had done very little.

As the day progressed, it became a concern to me. Why do I feel so exhausted?

So I began declaring God's Word over myself: I am strengthened by the Lord.

That is what God has offered us—enablement.

Therefore, I boldly declare that I can do all things, even when my circumstances suggest otherwise, because it is Christ who strengthens me. He enables us to have difficult conversations, to walk away from relationships that are not God-centered, to say no to opportunities that seem attractive but are not His will, and to choose the desires of the Spirit over the desires of the flesh.

God is our Enabler.

This season, the Lord desires to enable us to walk in alignment with His will. He understands that the devices of the crafty often come disguised as pleasure and self-gratification. The world teaches that the highest form of satisfaction is doing whatever feels good to you. Yet many times, our way is not God's way.

God is saying:

- Introduce Spirit-enabled conversations.

- Build Spirit-enabled marriages.

- Lead Spirit-enabled businesses.

- Influence Spirit-enabled organizations.

- Raise Spirit-enabled nations.

Acts 2:4 (GNT)

"They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to talk in other languages, as the Spirit enabled them to speak."

The Spirit's enablement is not about entering trances or creating dramatic displays. It is about God impressing His mind upon our minds and giving us the grace to speak and act according to His will. His thoughts become our thoughts through the transforming work of the Holy Spirit.

Acts 2:18

"In those days I will pour out my Spirit on my servants, both men and women, and they will speak what God has revealed."

Today, go forth in the strength of Elohim.

Stay Revived!

Following God's Instructions

1 Samuel 15:22 (MSG) Then Samuel said, Do you think all God wants are sacrifices—empty rituals just for show? He wants you to listen to Him! Plain listening is the thing, not staging a lavish religious production. Not doing what God tells you is far worse than fooling around in the occult. Getting self-important around God is far worse than making deals with your dead ancestors. Because you said no to God’s command, He says no to your kingship. Many times, we assume that what God desires most are our lavish religious activities and how we present ourselves publicly. While those outward expressions have their place, what matters even more is obedience —simply following instructions . The world itself was created through divine instruction. God spoke, and creation came into being. This shows us the power and importance of responding to God's voice. When He commands, He’s not just looking for compliance—He’s calling us into alignment with His will and purpose. God chooses people for ...

How do we Manifest?

Some weeks ago, while sleeping, the Holy Spirit spoke these words to my heart: "Who has been living, is it you or the scriptures? What has been breathing successfully in you? Because I have sent you to be living epistles, that is to come in the volume of the books that have been written about you. To be this living epistle, that is when you have come alive, the very moment I have come alive in you, living, breathing, and working in you. Be my living epistle." I knew I had to write it down, or I'd forget once I got busy. Later, while preparing for my birthday, I stumbled upon these words again. I wanted a unique experience, so I decided to go on a three-day fast before my birthday. The Holy Spirit asked me to extend it to five days. As I sought God for a brighter 28th year, He said, "Happy birthday" with these words: "I want to do more than provide for your daily needs, give you excellent children, business, or career. I want to live, breathe, and move in yo...

Do You Desire a Shield Too?

Today, as I reflect on the words the Lord spoke to me at the beginning of the year and the constant affirmations of His promises, I couldn't help but take a moment to consider the reality of my own existence. Could it be that the Lord didn't truly speak, or maybe I just didn't hear His voice clearly enough before stepping out? I also thought of you, and how, just like me—and maybe like David too—we keep running from our adversaries. But the truth remains: the Lord has anointed us. He has indeed given us His word that we are anointed to rule. My heart goes out to David as I try to understand how he must have felt, being chased from pillar to post. Yet, the Lord gave him a word. God took the time to allow the scribes to pen down these words because David's journey is not just his own. It’s a journey we all take as we step into God’s promises for our lives. It becomes our reality the moment we say yes to God. He gives us His promises, and while we may be fleeing from our...
