Isaiah wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 11:
1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
2 The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.
Jesus transitioned us from the external to the internal when He went to FATHER and sent The Holy Spirit. Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 24:
49 “Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”
Are we willing to accept the same promise as the disciples? We have been lulled into believing that there is something further required to be sent on some future date in order for us to walk in HIS power and authority. If The Holy Spirit resides on the inside of us, shouldn’t we come to expect the fullness of HIS SPIRIT’S operation to come forth at some point within us? Do we dare to believe we have within us everything we need in order to arise into full maturity as Sons and Daughters of THE MOST HIGH GOD?
Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 1:
20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,
22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee (an earnest).
An earnest is: a pledge, i.e. part of the purchase-money or property given in advance as security for the rest. I have heard this passage preached many times that we only received a portion of The Holy Spirit versus that which Jesus walked in, as though we are incomplete. Yet Jesus proclaimed we would do greater things than Him because He goes to THE FATHER. The earnest or guarantee is as a seed which must be watered with the Word and will grow stronger within us. We have a sufficiency in having The Holy Spirit in us so that the Kingdom will grow within us until we are fully mature and walk according to FATHER’S Word and expectation.
Our biggest hindrance is our mind in its orientation to scarcity and low expectations. We need to no longer restrict our expectations and allow The Holy Spirit full reign within us. We should expect The Holy Spirit to lead and guide us into the fullness of walking in THE SPIRIT. As we do, we will improve our ability to hear FATHER’S Voice and directives. As this occurs, peace will prevail in all our thoughts and actions though there may be chaos all around us. Anxiety will depart and depression will not be found among us. We will no longer be moved by evil reports because we know Our Provider and Healer will prevail over our situation. Let us full embrace HIS SPIRIT for FATHER has established us in Christ and has anointed us to fulfill HIS Divine Intent. Now is the time to expect the anointing to come forth.
