This is the move of the Holy Spirit in a congregation – the presence of the Holy Spirit in a gathering; the evident of the Holy Spirit in a gathering of believers.
You have heard people say, ‘the Holy Spirit moved’, ‘the Holy Spirit was present’, ‘we felt the presence of the Holy Spirit’, etc – how does the Holy Spirit move? How do you know His presence?
For the Holy Spirit to move/be present in a congregation, the leader of the congregation matters. There are 2 types of congregations;
- Led by Jesus Christ servant – a servant called and send (see difference between calling and sending)
- Led by priesthood of darkness – priesthood of darkness includes those who have called and send themselves
You cannot be led by the priesthood of darkness and expect the Holy Spirit to be in the congregation. Holy Spirit move or presence is ONLY witnessed in a gathering led by a Jesus Christ servant.
See the leader of the congregation matters
The Move of The Holy Spirit in a Congregation
For the Holy Spirit to move in a congregation, the leader must be connected to the POWER and moving by dictation of the Holy Spirit not by what people want, s/he wants or by money. The leader is the earthly vessel in whom Jesus Christ power is upon (baptized by fire) and he must be rightly connected.
A Jesus Christ servant does not prepare sermons or preach prepared sermons. You stand before people, open your mouth and the Holy Spirit takes over (Lk 21:14) – He (the Holy Spirit) speaks things even you yourself do not know and after you may need to sit and listen to what Jesus Christ said through you.
When the Holy Spirit takes over, He goes straight to dealing with the needs of the congregation. The Holy Spirit knows the need of every person in that congregation – even if you are a billion in number, He will deal with your need individually as the servant opens His mouth preaching and teaching.
When the Holy Spirit is the one speaking through that servant (vessel) you cannot cheer, clap, shout or celebrate but as He speaks the WORD will be piercing your soul spirit joints and marrow because the Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Heb 4:12)
This people you see preaching and being cheered, people celebrating, shouting, clapping, etc, that is entertainment – there is no Holy Spirit; that being preached or taught is not the WORD of GOD.
As the Word of God pierces people souls spirits joints marrow and exposing their thoughts and intents of the heart, He leads the congregation to the first step for Jesus Christ power to be witnessed, which is;
1. Repentance
At this stage you may see people in tears as they realize how sinful they are needing Jesus Christ mercy and pardoning – it’s the Holy Spirit at work making them repent.
The first step in see Jesus Christ (Power) is repentance and it is in repentance where our sins are washed away by the blood He shed on the cross (1 John 1:9) and we are made holy reason it is written,
Without holiness no man can see God (Heb 12:14).
Many people want to see Jesus Christ in heaven yet they have not seen Him on earth – stop dreaming. If on earth you have not seeing Jesus Christ, you will not see Him in heaven too. If you have not seen Him healing you, delivering you, setting you free, etc, do not expect to see Him in heaven. See without holiness no man can see God
At this stage the servant may be commanded to start moving in the congregation calling out people and telling them the sins they need to repent as Holy Spirit dictates – this is because some people may not know the sins that stands against them and God and as a Christ servant it’s your work to stand in the gap for their healing salvation and deliverance.
Therefore do not be surprised when the servant of Jesus Christ tells you something you did yesterday, over a year or years ago or things your forefathers did and you need to repent (Lev 26: 39-42)
It is in repentance where people realize they need Jesus Christ and call Him in their hearts
After repentance, the Holy Spirit ushers the congregation or gathering to stage 2 which is;
2. See God – see Jesus Christ
Here, you meet Jesus Christ physically and He deals with you sickness, diseases, poverty, affliction, torment, curses, etc – it’s the stage of signs miracles and wonders.
You are physically before Jesus Christ through His servant, it is not time to pray, fast, go tithe, etc, – it’s time for your healing deliverance and salvation which you have been praying for. See there is time to pray and time to run physically to Jesus Christ.
The servant may be commanded by Holy Spirit to move laying hands or to speak a word or even be silent but the congregation witnesses the power of the kingdom of heaven as cripple walk, deaf hear, demons flee, etc and that place turns into a warzone as power battles power – as LIGHT battle darkness.
As I told you, preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ is a battle between kingdom of heaven and kingdom of darkness – it’s a battle of powers. If you try to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ without power, without being send, the kingdom of darkness will destroy you – they have indeed destroyed many.
If indeed Jesus Christ is working with you, you will say ‘in the name of Jesus’ and Jesus Christ will be seen in the scene healing delivering and setting people free and people will bear witness to His power (Mk 16: 15-20).
For the Kingdom of God is not in word but in power and there is no servant of Jesus Christ not followed by miracles signs and wonders.
As Jesus Christ deals with you disease, sickness, affliction and torment, He is also dealing with your faith, love of the world, uplifting you spiritually and activating gifts of the Holy Spirit in you.
Though gift of the Holy Spirit are activated at this stage, it’s not the time for people to bust out speaking in tongues – that is confusion (1 Cor 14:23), it’s not time for those with gift of healing to start healing, etc. For the gift of the Holy Spirit are under subjection of POWER (POWER is superior than gifts). When POWER is in service gifts do not manifest – remember it is the same Spirit and that Spirit cannot bring confusion.
For those who do not know, there is a difference between gifts and power. A prophet has Power not a gift of prophecy. See difference between gifts of the Holy Spirit and power. Gifts are of in anointing, power is of anointing upon. See the 2 major types of anointing
We human beings experience the Holy Spirit in 2 main senses as revealed in the above teaching. The Holy Spirit is;
-
- Heard and
- Seen
1. Heard
Holy Spirit is a spirit and a person thus He speaks and those who know His voice hear Him. Reason Jesus said, ‘My sheep hear My voice’ (John 10:27)
And it is written,
Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says, ‘Today is you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts’ (Heb 3:7)
But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come (John 16:13)
When the Holy Spirit was coming to the disciples, they heard a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind (Acts 2:2)
2. Seen
During Jesus baptism, John the Baptist saw heaven parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove (Acts Mk 1:10) – John saw the Holy Spirit.
When the Holy Spirit come upon the disciples, they saw Him as tongues as of fire (Acts 2:3)
Holy Spirit is also seeing leading people to repentance and in signs miracles and wonders.
You cannot witness Holy Spirit you have not seen. You cannot witness, teach or preach Jesus Christ you have not seen for if you do, you will be a false witness. Every servant of Jesus Christ sees Him.
There are misconceptions, wrong doctrine out in the church about the Holy Spirit – the major one being that the Holy Spirit is ‘felt’.
You have heard people say, ‘I felt the Holy Spirit’, ‘I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit’ etc – it’s not Biblical or heavenly; the Holy Spirit is not felt but heard and seen.
The kingdom of heaven is not of a kingdom of feelings and emotions because feelings and emotions come and go/keep changing. You can move human beings with emotions and feelings but not God.
There is also a false emotional expression of the Holy Spirit, being spiritual, which Jesus revealed to me. You have seen people in these so-called-churches expressing emotions and portraying feelings of being holy spiritual godly, emotions of being in presence of God – it is demonic.
In that false spiritually, there is no repentance; a person walks in a drunkard, sexual immoral, etc, tithes, sacrifices and walks out goes back to his/her ways. In that false spiritually there is no signs miracles and wonders. Flee this lie! I saw it in one of the satanic churches when Satan entered. See vision of Satan physically in a church
The Pharisees (religious leaders) look at the number of people who have come to ‘their-church’ that day, the amount of tithe offering and sacrifice they have collected and say, ‘the Holy Spirit has moved’ – it is a lie!
Today there is another lie in so-called-gospel-music; people are entertained, their feelings and emotions ticked then they say, ‘the Holy Spirit is presence, the Holy spirit is moving’ – it is a demonic lie. If indeed Holy Spirit is presence He will lead you to repentance, to prayer and you will see Him heal deliver and set people free.
God is not entertained. You can entertain human beings in the name of gospel music and lead them to hell but you cannot entertain God – you can only praise and worship Him. Flee from gospel entertainment – it is demonic.
