Days of Our Lives

The role of the Holy Spirit in our lives is greater than we can ever imagine. I am amazed at what and who he is to me. The word of God is multi-dimensional. Every verse could mean 1000 different things. That is why you can read it forever and never cease to be amazed at the revelations God gives. I have read 1 Cor 2:6-16 many times before but today I got a new revelation on it.

The Bible says in Ps 139:16-17 (Which I have read many times before too) "Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!"

Before any of us was created God saw us and knew who we were and what he wanted us to accomplish. He opened up a book and wrote the days of our lives in it. He wrote what you would be called, your sex, where you would be born, which tribe you would belong to, what your complexion would be, your color and race, the size of your nose, the color of your eyes etc… Then he wrote which schools you would attend and whether or not you would go to university. After that, he went on to write where you would work, who you would marry, how many children you would have etc… He followed his own advice in Habakkuk 2:2-3

"…Write down the vision and make it plain on tablets that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie…"

Then he sealed the scroll in which he wrote your life story and awaited the appointed time for the opening of the scroll (Rev 5:1). This scroll holds the plan for your life. What you are supposed to do, with who, where…. The works!! Because of the fall of man, we cannot accomplish what is written on the scroll until we receive Christ as Lord of our lives. In fact, we cannot access the scroll without the blood of Jesus and accepting him as Lord of our lives. Rev 5:1-10

"And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals…no one in heaven or on the earth, or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it…no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it…Behold, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, The Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals…He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne…And they sang a new song, saying: 'you are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals, for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation and have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth'."

When Christ died on Calvary he received the right to open up the scroll and see what was written in it and not just that, but by His Holy Spirit he reveals to us what is written in our scrolls so that we can truly be kings and priests to our God and reign on the earth. Only by walking out what God ordained for us before we were formed can we truly rule and reign on the earth. Anything apart from that means that we have missed the mark and can not fully fill the place God ordained for us.

Hence Jesus said in John 16:7 "…it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you."

Why is it to your advantage? Because "… when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth (the whole truth about who you are, what you are about, what your purpose and destiny is etc)…" vs 13 and according to 1 Cor 2:9-10 "…Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love him (because until now, the scroll has been sealed) But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God."

With Christ's victory at Calvary, and the unsealing of the scroll, the Holy Spirit can now search the scroll to see what is written in there about you and then reveal it to you so that you can walk out your destiny in God. Jn 16:14 "He will glorify me, for he will take of (receive and draw upon) what is mine and declare (reveal, disclose, transmit) it to you." Can you see it? The Holy Spirit searches the depths of God concerning you then he reveals it to you!!! The scroll written about you is full of the thoughts of God for you in particular!! The mysteries of why God made you are written in it. They mysteries of what you are to do now and in the future are written in it. But the only way to access the information therein is to receive Christ as Savior and Lord and then allow the Holy Spirit to come into your life and do what he needs to.

Oh Spirit of the Living God, my manifestation as a son of the Most High God is dependent on you revealing to me what is in that scroll for this season and the seasons to come. I cannot be all God wants me to be until I know what he has planned for me. The word says not to be ignorant but to know God's good and perfect will for me. Reveal it to me Holy Spirit. Draw from Christ and disclose to me the purpose and direction for this season in Jesus Name. Holy Spirit, I cannot make it without you. You are my senior partner in every area. Lord Jesus, sanctify me and remove anything in my life that is not in the scroll for me right now. Remove relationships, jobs, things, plans anything that is not in the scroll for me. I align myself with the plans of God for me before time began. I align myself with the thoughts of God for me in this season. I decree that my ears hear, my eyes see and my heart conceives what God has in store for me as revealed by His Spirit in Jesus Name. Amen!
