Luke 4:14
To please God is the power of God.
In Luke 4:14, it argues
that Jesus returned to Galilee filled with the Holy Spirit’s power.
However in Luke 4:1, it argues that Jesus full of the Holy
Spirit returned from the Jordan River.
He was led by the spirit in the wilderness and what this
means is that by the time Jesus was led by the holy spirit, he was full of the
holy spirit but not filled of the power of the same but when he had finished
walking in the will of God while in the wilderness, he was filled with the holy
spirit’s power.
It’s utterly impossible to walk in the will of God for your
life without the leading of the Holy Spirit and it’s impossible to please God
without faith-the knowledge of God- and where does the knowledge of God/ the
will of God emanates from?
It emanates from the Holy
Spirit which is more like the mind of God.
Thus in order to follow the Holy Spirit you must have the
knowledge of God which is the medium by which the Holy Spirit leads the sons of
God.
There are some of those whom the Holy Spirit has led and in
following the Holy Spirit they did not find themselves in heaven but rather
they found themselves dealing with hell.
They have obeyed the
spirit of God and nothing good has happened to them but they keep on dealing
with one bad situation after another and the devil who seemingly is the
supervisor of hell expected you to complain, to curse the name of God, to
become bitter, to be frustrated and to loose your confidence and self-esteem
but the surprise is that while you where wondering as why you followed the holy
spirit and instead of good happening to you bad stuff confronted you.
Then in that circumference of time God gave you a revelation
and then before you knew it, your spirit was strengthened to praise the name of
God and worship the same.
See my dear friends it’s not an accident that you find
yourself dealing with the elements of hell after obeying the Holy Spirit.
It’s only because God expects you to confuse the enemy whose
expectations are that you are going to lose heart and a sense of God after all
the hell that you are experiencing.
He is confused because instead of walking around
crest-fallen, and bitter, you are full of worship and praise because God just
gave you a revelation amidst the chaos of your life. The devil and the enemy of
your life, purpose and assignment in God is confused because instead of giving
up you just keep on doing the will of God even with all the hell that confronts
you.
Now you like a thorn in the devil’s flesh, a thorn that has
put the devil in a place of pain, hurt, and hence forth the devil is restless.
The devil has no rest because you are in his territory
praising and worshipping God.
You are in a dark
season but yet you still moving forward being guided by the great light of God
that comes by revelation.
Now the dynamics have shifted the devil is no longer trying
to stop you from walking in the will of God which stipulates that you are the
head not the tail, that you are rich and not poor, that you are great and
powerful.
But now that the devil wants you out of his dominion and out
of his influence.
He wants you out of poverty, out of lack, out of obscurity,
out of under achieving, out of frustration, out of pain, out of hurt and out of
disappointment.
It’s fundamentally out of this world when your enemy wants
you to be blessed when the person who has been working for your downfall begins
to work for your going to the next level.
The devil wants you out of poverty and out of pain,
frustration and out of lack because you are a pain in his neck even with no
friends, with no money, with no wife, with no contacts, with no house, with no
success.
You are a threat to the devil even when you do not live a
decent life.
The devil wants you out because his life depends on you
going out of hell.
And because he wants you out, people who have what belongs to
you, what you believing God for are about to give all that belongs to you unto
you because if they do not give you what belongs to you then their lives will
come under attack and they will be threatened.
If people do not give you what you want then they risk losing
their mind and their comfort as much as their peace.
Everyone loves to please God but in this time in God no one
will please God if they are afraid of getting hurt and experiencing pain.
It hurts and it’s painful to please God because the carnal
mind is enmity with God.
God put you in hell in order for you to frustrate the devil
with your praise and worship and now he is pulling you out of hell to a place
of pleasure where you are operating in the power of the Holy Spirit, Where the promises
of God are tangible you.
He is pulling you out because you have suffered too much
hell yet all you did was to obey God.
This hell you see no more because you have set an example
for generation you praise and worship God in hell as though you were in
heavenly splendor.
And now that you have been pulled out of hell by God heaven
has come to you.
When heaven comes to you power has come to you.
When power comes toy you change and influence come to you as
much as fulfillment.
