SENSITIVITY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
To manifest the baptism of the Holy Spirit we need to be sensitive to Him. To his touch, his words, his counsel, his presence and most importantly his feelings.Whilst I was preparing for this session, one thing became clear. The Holy Spirit spirit is a spirit of great depth and defiles the norms of the physical. The Holy Spirit dwells in the spirit realm yet so powerful his impact is potent enough to transform the physical.
He does not dwell in just any vessel, He dwells in living sanctuaries who have taken a stand not to defile the temple of God. He dwells in hearts submissive to the will of God. He gives his fire to those ready to be refined as pure gold.
Who is the Holy Spirit? He is the third person of the Godhead. The life giving dimension of God. Until he breathes, nothing is given life. This is why He was there from the creation of the world. The bible says He was hovering on the surface of the waters, breathing into the atmosphere, so that when God said ‘let there be light’, there was light. This is why The bible says Mary conceived through the Holy Spirit. He is the spirit that brings alive and this is why nothing can function positively without him.
How do we become sensitive to him?By being in tune with his feelings. By being in tune with the plans of God. Whilst this is described in simple words, there is a depth of explanation to this process.Spiritual sensitivity is the ability to perceive, obey and act by the movement of the Holy Spirit to do God’s will.
When we become sensitive to the Holy Spirit, we involve him before we make decisions, not after we have made them. Remember He is not of this world, he directs our affairs through the spiritual long before the manifest in the natural.
When we are sensitive to the Holy Spirit, nothing happens by chance. Everything is designed and orchestrated to work for our good. Our hearts continue to yearn and hunger for his move and touch. We no longer become accustomed to the norms and wisdom of the world because we operate from a different kingdom.
The reason our generation may have lost its sensitivity to the Holy Spirit is because we are no longer dependent on Him or the word of God. Common sense has replaced God’s plans and purposes. We have forgotten that this same God uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise.
The good news is that there is an anointing available for those who are willing, the generation that is ready to blaze in the fire of the Holy Spirit and manifest the powers of the spiritual through the physical. The miracles from the days of Elijah are still possible for the Hearts that are willing to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
We all have a conscience within us. Whether we use it or how we use it is subjective. However as children of God, it is His desire that this God given conscience is channeled and sensitive to the voice and leading of the Holy Spirit.
David was a man after God’s heart. In order to earn that position, he had to be sensitive to the things of the spirit. He was by no means perfect but his attitude to chastity and correction was humility and repentance. And every single day, he strived and prayed to be cleansed by the spirit of God. Even though he was a king, this was not the most important position to him. His priority was to continuously follow God’s heart.
“Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.”Psalms 51:11-12 NKJV
David understood that it was possible for God to take away the presence of the Holy Spirit.
- OH LORD, MAKE ME COMPLAINT TO YOUR WILL
- SANITISE MY HEART AND PURGE ME OF SIN IN JESUS NAME
- SENSITISE MY HEART TO THE DIRECTION OF YOUR HOLY SPIRIT
- MAY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT NEVER DEPART FROM ME
- HOLY SPIRIT, BREATHE A NEW LIFE UPON ME TONIGHT IN JESUS NAME
“I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me; For now, O Ephraim, you have played the prostitute and have worshiped idols; Israel has defiled itself. Their [immoral] practices will not permit them To return to their God, For the spirit of prostitution is within them And they do not know the LORD [they do not recognize, appreciate, heed or cherish Him].”Hosea 5:3-4 AMP
One thing that’s prevents us from being sensitive to the Holy Spirit is called spiritual prostitution. From this passage it implied that Israel had turned to other Gods and committed harlotry. We can easily excuse ourselves and say we don’t possess the spirit of prostitution.But when we prioritise other things before the father of love, our creator, or when the only relationship we have with him is one sided (transactional)This is also the spirit of prostitution.
- TONIGHT I BURY EVERY SPIRIT OF PROSTITUTION PREVENTING ME FROM CLINGING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
- EVERY SPIRIT OF IDOLATRY, BE DESTROYED IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
- ANY OTHER SPIRIT TAKING THE PLACE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON MY ALTER, GIVE WAY IN JESUS NAME
- EVERY BLINDNESS PREVENTING ME FROM RECOGNISING THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT , VANISH IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
In the spiritual realm, self reliance is an act of pride. When we are sensitive to the Holy Spirit. We learn to depend on him. It becomes a way of life to depend on him.
- EVERY SPIRIT OF PRIDE CLOUDING MY JUDGEMENT AND PREVENTING ME FROM MAXIMISING THE FIRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DISAPPEAR IN THE MIGHT NAME OF JESUS
- I REFUSE TO BE SPIRITUALLY PROUD AND SELF RELIANT IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
Good intentions are not good enough.
“When they came to Nacon’s threshing floor, Uzzah reached out [with his hand] to the ark of God and took hold of it, because the oxen [stumbled and] nearly overturned it. And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his irreverence; and he died there by the ark of God.”2 Samuel 6:6-7 AMP
This one scripture troubled me for a while but over the recent years I’ve learnt a few lessons from it and the latest lesson I’ve learnt is that good intentions are not good enough if they are not sensitive to the leading of the spirit of God or in alignment to his will.Uzzah had good intentions, the ox had stumbled, it looked as though the ark of God was going to fall and he stretched out to steady it. However, at that point, God did not need his help. His heart was not in tune with the Holy Spirit. He was not sensitive to the counsel of the spirit
- HOLY SPIRIT MAY MY INTENTIONS BE DERIVED FROM YOU IN JESUS NAME
- MAY MY HANDS OPERATE ONLY ACCORDING TO YOUR COUNSEL IN JESUS NAME
- FROM TODAY, ALIGN MY PURPOSE, PLANS, ACTION AND REACTIONS TO YOUR WILL IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS
- MAY I NOT MAKE THE RIGHT MOVE AT THE WRONG TIME
- MAY I NOT MAKE THE WRONG MOVE AT THE RIGHT TIME
- MAY I MAKE THE RIGHT MOVE AT THE RIGHT TIME
- MAY YOU BE THE REASON I MOVE, LIVE AND HAVE MY BEING IN THE NAME OF JESUS
- MAY I NEVER VIOLATE YOUR HOLINESS IN THE NAME OF JESUS- the ark signified the Gods holiness and there was a certain level of preparedness required before this could be touched.
Another reason we may not be sensitive to the Holy Spirit is not understanding the beauty of waiting. Over the years, I’ve come to understand that waiting is hard. But there is a special, uncommon blessing that awaits those who have the grace to wait. Let’s take a look at the story of Abraham, Sarah and Hagar.
“Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.”Genesis 16:16 NKJV“When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.”Genesis 17:1-2 NKJV
Abraham was 86 years old when Ishmael was born, and the next time God spoke to him, he was 99 years old. 13 years later. Theologians say that after the episode of Haggai, God became silent to Abraham. The presence of the lord left him because Ishmael was not the Covenant child God had promised Abraham. It was not through Ishmael that God’s purpose for Abraham was being fulfilled.
- OH LORD, MAY I NOT CONCEIVE OR BIRTH ANY PLANS OR IDEAS THAT IS NOT IN LINE WITH THE COVENANT I HAVE IN YOU IN JESUS NAME
- MAY NO ACT OF DISOBEDIENCE TURN YOUR VOICE AWAY FROM ME IN THE NAME OF JESUS
- MAY THE COUNSEL OF MAN, NOT CAST ME AWAY FROM YOUR PRESENCE IN JESUS NAME
- GRANT ME THE GRACE TO BE SENSITIVE AND WAIT FOR YOUR PERFECT TIMING IN JESUS NAME
- STRENGTHEN MY FAITH TO WAIT ON YOUR PROMISES AND MANIFEST THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT IN JESUS NAME.
“but just as it is written [in Scripture], “T HINGS WHICH THE EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND THE EAR HAS NOT HEARD, A ND WHICH HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, A LL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE H IM [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed].” For God has unveiled them and revealed them to us through the [Holy] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things [diligently], even [sounding and measuring] the [profound] depths of God [the divine counsels and things far beyond human understanding]. For what person knows the thoughts and motives of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So also no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the [Holy] Spirit who is from God, so that we may know and understand the [wonderful] things freely given to us by God.”1 Corinthians 2:9-12 AMP
This scripture reminds us that every promise of God to us has been revealed to the Holy Spirit. As mentioned earlier, these things are confirmed and visualised in the spirit realm first before they manifest in the physical. So except we take our places as spirit men, we may not understand or know what God has in store for us. Even if it is revealed through a witness, it sounds unreal or ridiculous.The Holy Spirit does not do shallow. The bible says ‘Deep calleth unto deep’.
- HOLY SPIRIT SEARCH AND REVEAL THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD TO ME IN CLARITY IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
- REVEAL GOD’S COUNSEL FOR MY LIFE EXPRESSLY IN THE NAME OF JESUS
- OH LORD, ACTIVATE MY SPIRIT MAN AND HELP ME OPERATE IN REALMS BEYOND HUMAN UNDERSTANDING IN JESUS NAME (remember we are not of this world)
- HOLY SPIRIT, YOU KNOW MY THOUGHTS AND MOTIVES, CONFORM THEM TO YOUR DESIGN AND PURPOSE FOR ME IN JESUS NAME.
- MAY I NOT STRUGGLE TO POSSESS THE GIFTS YOU HAVE MADE AVAILABLE FREELY TO ME IN JESUS NAME
“These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.I Corinthians 2:13-15 NKJV
If we continue to think and speak in the physical, we cannot be sensitive to the things of the spirit.
- FROM TODAY, MAY MY UTTERANCE ALIGN WITH THE SPIRIT AND CONTRADICT HUMAN WISDOM IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS
- TRANSFORM ME FROM A NATURAL MAN TO A SPIRIT MAN IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS.
- HOLY SPIRIT TEACH ME THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT, IGNITE ME WITH PASSION FOR THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]?”1 Corinthians 6:19
In order for us to be sensitive to the spirit, we need to be enlightened and understand that this body, this flesh is a temple. Not a temple for ourselves, but a temple of the Holy Spirit.Food for thought- How are you treating the Holy Spirit’s temple? When we are not looking after ourselves, do we realise that we are actually grieving the holy spirit? Do we take care of our bodies well enough to beautify it as the Holy Spirit’s temple?And if God’s temple Is not maintained, how can we be sensitive to the presence of his spirit
- MAKE MY BODY A LIVING SANCTUARY, PURE AND HOLY, TRIED AND TRUE IN THE NAME OF JESUS
- I REDEDICATE THIS BODY AS A BEAUTIFUL TEMPLE FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE NAME OF JESUS ( when Solomon built God’s temple,It was beautifully described in the bible. Guess what? You and I are more beautiful than that temple. Because we were handcrafted by GOD.)
- LET THIS BODY BE A CITADEL OF HONOUR TO ACCOMMODATE GOD’S PRESENCE IN JESUS NAME
“In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness. We do not know what prayer to offer or how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs and groanings too deep for words. And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes [before God] on behalf of God’s people in accordance with God’s will.”Romans 8:26-27 AMP
- HOLY SPIRIT EMPOWER MY PRAYER ALTAR WITH YOUR FIRE IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS
- HOLY SPIRIT, INTERCEDE FOR ME IN PLACES MY FEET CANNOT ACCESS IN ALIGNMENT WITH GOD’S PERFECT WILL FOR MY DESTINY IN JESUS NAME
“But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses [to tell people about Me] both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.””Acts 1:8 AMP
- I RECEIVE THE POWER AND ABILITY TO BE SENSITIVE TO THE HOLY SPIRIT’S TOUCH IN JESUS NAME (there is one thing to possess power and then another to excercise it, that’s called ability)
- HOLY SPIRIT COME UPON ME WITH POWER AND FIRE IN JESUS NAME
“Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you, and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My ordinances and do them.”Ezekiel 36:26-27 AMP
- OH LORD REMOVE EVERY STONE OF STUBBORNNESS, SIN, FEAR, UNREPENTANCE, BURDEN AND SHAME PREVENTING YOUR SPIRIT FROM OCCUPYING MY HEART RIGHT NOW IN JESUS NAME
- MAY MY HEART BEGIN TO COOPERATE WITH THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN JESUS NAME
- LET THE HOLY SPIRIT ALIGN MY STEPS TO WALK WITH GODS ORDINANCES IN JESUS NAME
“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed and commissioned me To bring good news to the humble and afflicted; He has sent me to bind up [the wounds of] the brokenhearted, To proclaim release [from confinement and condemnation] to the [physical and spiritual] captives And freedom to prisoners,”Isaiah 61:1 AMP
When you become sensitive to the things of the HOLY SPIRIT, this sums up your mission in life.You become a bearer of good news. No longer will bitterness or unforgiveness come out of you. Your belly begins to flow with joy like rivers of living water, you begin to illuminate everywhere you go with the light of God. Because you are literally set on fire for him.
- I RECEIVE SPIRITUAL ILLUMINATION AND ACCESS TO LIGHT IN THE NAME OF JESUS
- I RECEIVE THE GRACE FOR PROPHETIC WEALTH IN THE SPIRIT IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS
- I RECEIVE POWER TO BREAK CHAINS, PROCLAIM RELEASE AND DECLARE SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL LIBERTY OVER MY LIFE AND NATION IN THE NAME OF JESUS
- HOLY SPIRIT I RECEIVE THE GRACE TO BE SENSITIVE TO YOU AND BECOME A POWERFUL FORCE IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
