Third Work of God The Holy Spirit

We have come to the third and final of the mighty works of God, the Holy Spirit, that of bringing us back to the reality that the strength we have in us is our Lord's. Unending gratitude and ever deep heart-thanks to You, Holy Spirit, for leading us back to our spiritual senses. O how many of us were living as children in deep want! O how many of us, children of God, were living as though the strength of our lives, is the world! The condition and state of our minds showed it all.

Holy Spirit, though our words of thanks are greatly inadequate, we humbly offer thanks with our mouths and with our quickened spirits. Take us Holy Spirit and even now, work Your miracle works in us please. Amen!

We are now receiving the Holy Spirit’s, Agitating.

Agitating us to change, that truth may blossom and grow fruit in us, tenfold, fiftyfold and a hundredfold. 

The Lord is the strength of my life.

What a delectably divine word is the word, agitated, to the repentant, fruit-bearing child of God. There is a meaning of the word agitate, which I am told, has become obsolete. The dictionary states, agitate – obsolete: to give motion to. It went on to give this example. ‘The storm agitated the sea.’ Nevertheless, I will not delete this meaning, for it still brings relevance, sustenance and deliverance to many a fruitless, barren, and useless life, in our walk with Jesus. 

This word of David has come, not just to bring us to our senses, not just to accost us and convict us, but to agitate us to get moving and bear the fruit of our Lord, who is our strength. It is like Gideon.

Gideon was a son of God, living in fear of the enemies around. He carried his God deep within him, but his life was one of timidity, mediocrity, and secrecy. When, the Angel of God came to Gideon, he had to go to a man who, threshed wheat in a winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites. Judges 6: 11b.

Is this not the perfect picture of one who is living in fear about something, as many of us do? God comes to His child, in His Angel, in the midst of Gideon’s hiding, and addresses him in this most Spirit-agitating word. And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, The LORD is with you, mighty man of valor! Judges 6: 12.  If you don’t know the outcome of a hiding man, agitated to action and mighty fruit bearing, it’s a must read, in Judges Six. In the Strength of his God, Gideon was constrained to take God at His Word and do as God commanded, in the Name and Strength of the Lord. O how his faith, trust and works blossomed and grew bountifully, through the Lord’s Strength.

Wherever you are in this time of your life, you cannot make such a declaration of those monumental words of David and remain as you are. This I know for a fact. In your stirred up, activated spiritual senses, you will no longer live barren of the Spirit’s fruit, bearing in you. No! Truth must be evidenced.

Agitated to this strength which dwells in you, and which has now been restored, wake up, rise up, and live your strength. Let your life be a fruit bearing life - ten-fold, fifty-fold and a hundred-fold - so that you too will live your strength. You will rise up from your insecurity and timidity and in the unwavering Strength of your Lord, you will live and conquer.

You belong to God and He is the Strength of your life.

We anticipate a triumphant conclusion, tomorrow.
