THE MIGHT AND MINISTRY
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
KENNETH COPELAND
BELIEVERS TODAY HAVE VASTLY UNDERESTIMATED THE POWER
OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
YOU MAY WONDER HOW I CAN BE SO SURE OF THAT. IT’S SIMPLE REALLY. IF WE
TRULY UNDERSTOOD AND BELIEVED WHAT THE BIBLE TELLS US ABOUT HIM, WE WOULD NEVER
WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING AGAIN. ALL HELL HAS
TO OFFER COULD COME AGAINST US AND WE WOULDN’T FEAR. WE’D JUST GRIN AND SAY, ‘BRING IT ON,
DEVIL! THE GREATER ONE LIVES WITHIN ME
AND HE HAS GIVEN ME ALL THE WISDOM, STRENGTH, POWER AND PROVISION I NEED TO
CRUSH YOU LIKE A BUG.’ (Original artist unknown)
RIGHT NOW YOU MAY THINK YOU COULD NEVER HAVE THAT KIND
OF BOLDNESS. BUT LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF JESUS APPEARED TO YOU
TODAY? HOW WOULD YOU ACT IF HE LINKED
HIS ARM IN YOURS AND TOLD YOU THAT FROM NOW ON, HE WOULD BE PHYSICALLY PRESENT
WITH YOU IN EVERY SITUATION? IF YOU
BECAME SICK, HE WOULD LAY HIS HAND ON YOU AND YOU’D BE HEALED. IF YOU RAN SHORT OF MONEY, HE’D PRAY AND
MULTIPLY YOUR RESOURCES. IF YOU
ENCOUNTERED A PROBLEM YOU DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE, HE’D TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT
TO DO.
UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU’D BE VERY BOLD AND
CONFIDENT, WOULDN’T YOU? EVERY TIME YOU
RAN INTO TROUBLE, YOU’D JUST GLANCE OVER AT JESUS STANDING NEXT TO YOU AND
SUDDENLY, YOU’D HAVE GREAT COURAGE.
OF COURSE, THERE’S ONE PROBLEM. THE FACT IS, YOU DON’T HAVE THAT
ADVANTAGE. YOU DON’T HAVE JESUS STANDING
NEXT TO YOU IN THE FLESH TAKING CARE OF YOUR EVERY NEED.
BUT YOU DO HAVE SOMETHING BETTER.
I REALISE IT’S DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THERE’S ANYTHING
MORE BENEFICIAL THAN JESUS’ PHYSICAL PRESENCE.
BUT THERE IS. JESUS SAID SO
HIMSELF.
THAT’S RIGHT.
IN THE HOURS JUST BEFORE HE WAS CRUCIFIED, HE TOLD HIS DISCIPLES THAT HE
WOULD BE LEAVING THEM AND RETURNING TO HIS FATHER IN HEAVEN. WHEN THEY EXPRESSED SORROW AND DISMAY, HE
SAID:
I WILL PRAY THE
FATHER, AND HE SHALL GIVE YOU ANOTHER COMFORTER, THAT HE MAY ABIDE WITH YOU
FOREVER. EVEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, WHOM
THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE; BECAUSE IT SEETH HIM NOT, NEITHER KNOWETH HIM; BUT
YOU KNOW HIM; FOR HE DWELLETH WITH YOU, AND SHALL BE IN YOU… I TELL YOU THE
TRUTH, IT IS EXPEDIENT FOR YOU THAT I GO AWAY: FOR IF I GO NOT AWAY, THE
COMFORTER WILL NOT COME UNTO YOU, BUT IF I DEPART, I WILL SEND HIM UNTO YOU
(JOHN 14:16-17, 16:7).
TO FULLY GRASP THE IMPACT OF THIS LAST STATEMENT, YOU
HAVE TO REALIZE THAT JESUS WAS TALKING TO A GROUP OF MEN WHO HAD FOLLOWED HIM
DAY AND NIGHT FOR THREE YEARS. THEY HAD
SEEN HIS MIRACLES. THEY HAD ENJOYED
PERFECT PROTECTION AND PROVISION AT HIS HAND.
PETER WAS SITTING THERE AMONG THEM. CAN’T YOU JUST IMAGINE WHAT WAS RUNNING
THROUGH HIS MIND? NO DOUBT HE WAS THINKING
OF THAT FIRST TIME JESUS HAD BORROWED HIS BOAT.
AFTER HE’D FINISHED PREACHING FROM IT, HE’D SAID TO PETER, ‘GRAB YOUR
NETS AND WE’LL GO CATCH US SOME FISH.’
IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY.
PETER KNEW YOU COULDN’T CATCH FISH IN THE DAYLIGHT IN THAT TAKE - THE
WATER WAS TOO CLEAR. THE FISH WOULD SEE
THE NET AND RUN FROM IT.
BUT JUST TO HUMOUR HIM, PETER HAD DONE WHAT JESUS SAID
AND ENDED UP WITH A NET BUSTING BOAT SINKING LOAD OF FISH. WHAT A DAY!
THEN THERE WAS THE TIME JESUS HAD HEALED PETER’S MOTHER-IN-LAW
OF A DEADLY FEVER. CURED HER INSTANTLY!
EVEN THAT DIDN’T HOLD A CANDLE TO WHAT HAPPENED ON THE
MOUNT OF TRANSFIGURATION. THAT DAY PETER
HAD ACTUALLY SEEN MOSES AND ELIJAH TALKING WITH JESUS. HE HAD WATCHED HIS BODY TRANSFIGURE BEFORE
HIS VERY EYES. HE’D SEEN THE SHINING
CLOUD OF GLORY AND HEARD THE AWESOME VOICE OF ALMIGHTY GOD!
AS THOSE EVENTS PASSED THROUGH PETER’S MIND, HE MUST
HAVE WONDERED, HOW CAN IT POSSIBLY BE EXPEDIENT OR TO MY ADVANTAGE FOR JESUS TO
GO AWAY?
KNOWING THAT QUESTION WAS IN THE HEART OF EVERY ONE OF
HIS DISCIPLES, JESUS SAID, IN ESSENCE, ‘I KNOW IT IS HARD FOR YOU TO BELIEVE,
BUT TRUST ME ON THIS. I’M NOT LYING TO
YOU. IT’S BETTER FOR YOU IF I GO AWAY SO
THAT I CAN SEND THE HOLY SPIRIT TO NOT ONLY BE WITH YOU, BUT TO BE IN YOU!’
THE MUSCLE OF GOD
IT’S BEEN ALMOST 2,000 YEARS SINCE JESUS SAID THAT AND
MOST OF US ARE STILL STRUGGLING TO FULLY BELIEVE IT.
THEOLOGICALLY, WE KNOW IT’S TRUE, AND WE THANK GOD
THAT WE’RE BORN AGAIN AND BAPTISED IN THE HOLY GHOST. BUT THEN WE OPEN OUR MOUTHS AND SAY THINGS
LIKE, ‘IF I COULD JUST FEEL JESUS’ HAND ON MY FEVERED BROW, IT WOULD BE EASIER
FOR ME TO RECEIVE MY HEALING.’
WHY IS THAT?
I BELIEVE IT’S BECAUSE WE HAVEN’T TRULY APPRECIATED
THE MIGHT AND THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
WE HAVEN’T YET HAD A FULL REVELATION OF WHO THIS IS LIVING INSIDE US.
MANY CHRISTIANS, FOR EXAMPLE, SEEM TO THINK THE FIRST
TIME THE HOLY SPIRIT DID MUCH OF ANYTHING WAS ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST. BUT THAT’S NOT TRUE. THE
HOLY SPIRIT HAS BEEN AT WORK ON THIS PLANET EVER SINCE THE BEGINNING. LOOK AT THE BOOK OF GENESIS AND YOU CAN SEE
THAT FOR YOURSELF. THERE IN THE FIRST
FEW VERSES WE FIND: ‘IN THE BEGINNING
GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH.
AND THE EARTH WAS WITHOUT FORM, AND VOID; AND DARKNESS WAS UPON THE FACE
OF THE DEEP. AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD MOVED
UPON THE FACE OF THE WATERS. AND GOD
SAID, ‘LET THERE BE LIGHT’ AND THERE WAS LIGHT. (GEN 1:1-3).
THINK ABOUT THAT!
THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS HOVERING,
WAITING TO CREATE. THEN THE MOMENT GOD
SPOKE THE WORD, ’LIGHT BE!’ (LITERAL HEBREW TRANSLATION), THE SPIRIT SPRANG
INTO ACTION AND SLUNG THIS UNIVERSE INTO BEING.
THAT’S HOW THE BIBLE INTRODUCES US TO THE HOLY SPIRIT.
YOU SEE, THE
HOLY SPIRIT IS THE MUSCLE OF GOD. EVERY
TIME YOU SEE GOD’S POWER IN MANIFESTATION, YOU CAN BE SURE THE HOLY SPIRIT IS
ON THE SCENE.
WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME ON SAMSON, HE SINGLE
HANDEDLY KILLED A THOUSAND PHILISTINE SOLDERS (JUDGES 15:14-16). CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW EMBARRASSING THAT MUST
HAVE BEEN FOR THE PHILISTINES WHO ESCAPED?
THEY PROBABLY WENT RUNNING BACK TO HEADQUARTERS ALL BEAT UP AND
BREATHLESS WITH THE STORY OF THIS TERRIBLE MASSACRE. I CAN ALMOST HEAR THEIR COMMANDER’S RESPONSE.
‘A THOUSAND MEN KILLED? A THOUSAND? THAT’S AWFUL!
HOW MANY ISRAELITES WERE YOU UP AGAINST?
‘UH, WELL, SIR …ACTUALLY JUST ONE.’
SOME PEOPLE GET THE IDEA THAT SAMSON WAS ABLE TO DO
THOSE GREAT EXPLOITS BECAUSE HE WAS A GIANT OF A MAN. BUT HE WAS REALLY JUST AN ORDINARY
FELLOW. HE ONLY BECAME EXTRAORDINARY WHEN THE SPIRIT OF GOD CAME ON HIM.
THE PROPHET ELIJAH WAS THE SAME WAY. ON HIS OWN, HE WAS JUST AS NORMAL AS YOU AND
ME. HE WAS ONCE SO FRIGHTENED BY THE
THREATS OF A WOMAN THAT HE HID IN THE WILDERNESS AND ASKED GOD TO KILL HIM SO
HE WOULDN’T HAVE TO FACE HER.
BUT WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME ON HIM, ELIJAH WAS A
POWERHOUSE. HE ONCE CALLED DOWN FIRE
FROM HEAVEN, KILLED 400 PROPHETS OF BAAL, AND OUTRAN THE KING’S CHARIOT (DRAWN,
NO DOUBT, BY THE FASTEST HORSES IN THE NATION OF ISRAEL). AND
HE DID IT IN JUST ONE DAY! (SEE 1
KINGS 18-19).
WHAT A MIND!
DON’T GET THE IDEA FROM THOSE EXAMPLES, HOWEVER, THAT
THE HOLY SPIRIT IS SIMPLY A MINDLESS SOURCE OF RAW POWER. FAR FROM IT!
WHEN HE MOVES IN ON A SITUATION,
HE DOES IT WITH WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING SO VAST THAT IT STAGGERS THE HUMAN
MIND.
ISAIAH 40:13 SAYS OF HIM: ‘WHO HATH DIRECTED THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD, OR BEEN HIS COUNSELOR HATH
TAUGHT HIM? NOW GO BACK AND READ
HOW VERSE 12 FURTHER EXPLAINS: ‘WHO
HATH MEASURED THE WATERS IN THE HOLLOW OF HIS HAND, AND METED OUT HEAVEN WITH
THE SPAN, AND COMPREHENDED THE DUST OF THE EARTH IN A MEASURE, AND WEIGHED THE
MOUNTAINS IN SCALES, AND THE HILLS IN A BALANCE?’
CONSIDER FOR A
MOMENT, WHAT KIND OF MIND COULD TAKE A HANDFUL OF WATER, WEIGH IT AND THEN
COMPUTE ALL THE MOISTURE CHANGES OF THE EARTH THAT WOULD TAKE PLACE OVER UNTOLD
THOUSANDS OF YEARS. WHAT KIND OF MIND
COULD TAKE A HANDFUL OF DUST, WEIGH IT, AND THEN FIGURE OUT HOW TO FORM THE
EARTH - MOUNTAINS AND ALL - IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT WOULD ALWAYS STAY IN PERFECT
BALANCE?
THAT’S THE KIND OF
MIND THE SPIRIT OF GOD HAS!
WHEN HE PUT THIS
EARTH TOGETHER, HE DID IT SO PERFECTLY THAT IT CAN TRAVEL 1,000 MILES AN HOUR
IN ONE DIRECTION AND 10,000 MILES AN HOUR IN ANOTHER, BOTH AT THE SAME TIME,
WITHOUT EVER GETTING THE SLIGHTEST DEGREE OFF COURSE. HE CONSTRUCTED IT SO THAT IT COULD COMPENSATE
FOR ALL THE MOVEMENT OF THE TIDES AND ALL THE USE AND ABUSE IT WOULD RECEIVE AT
THE HANDS OF MAN AND STILL MAKE ITS WAY THROUGH THE UNIVERSE EXACTLY ON TIME.
LISTEN, THAT IS THE
ONE WHO IS PLANNING YOUR LIFE! THAT IS
THE ONE WHO DWELLS WITHIN YOU AND WALKS WITHIN YOU. WHEN YOU JOIN YOURSELF TO THE LORD, YOU
BECOME ONE SPIRIT WITH HIM (1 COR 6:17).
AND HE DOESN’T CHANGE OR SHRINK UP HIS ABILITIES SO HE COULD FIT THEM
INSIDE YOU.
NO, IF YOU’RE BORN AGAIN, HOLY SPIRIT BAPTISED
BELIEVER, HE IS EVERYTHING IN YOU
THAT HE HAS EVER BEEN. HE HAS THE SAME AWESOME POWER. HE HAS THE SAME ASTOUNDING ABILITY TO
COMPUTE, TO COMPREHEND AND PLAN IN INFINITE DETAIL EVERYTHING THAT HAS EVER
BEEN … EVERYTHING THAT NOW IS …AND EVERYTHING THAT EVER WILL BE!
WHAT’S MORE, WHEN YOU RUN INTO SOMETHING YOU CAN’T
HANDLE AND YOU CALL ON HIM FOR HELP, HE’S
NOT A MILLION LIGHT YEARS AWAY. HE’S
RIGHT THERE INSIDE YOU! HE’S READY TO SUPPLY YOU WITH WHATEVER YOU
NEED. HE’S READY TO BE YOUR
COMFORTER. READY TO BE YOUR TEACHER AND
YOUR TRAINER. READY TO BE YOUR ADVOCATE,
YOUR STANDBY, YOUR COUNSELOR. HE’S
READY TO PUT HIS SUPERNATURAL MUSCLE AND MIND TO WORK FOR YOU 24 HOURS A DAY.
THE PERFECT GENTLEMAN
‘WELL THEN, WHY HASN’T HE HELPED ME BEFORE NOW?’ YOU
ASK. ‘HEAVEN KNOWS I’VE NEEDED IT!’
HE’S BEEN WAITING
FOR YOU TO GIVE HIM SOMETHING TO WORK WITH. HE’S BEEN WAITING THERE INSIDE YOU JUST LIKE HE HOVERED OVER
THE FACE OF THE WATERS IN GENESIS, WAITING
FOR YOU TO SPEAK THE WORD OF GOD IN FAITH.
THAT’S BEEN HIS ROLE SINCE THE BEGINNING - TO MOVE ON GOD’S WORD AND DELIVER THE POWER
NECESSARY TO CAUSE THAT WORD TO MANIFEST IN THE EARTH. THAT’S WHAT HE DID AT CREATION… AND THAT’S
WHAT HE’S COMMISSIONED TO DO FOR YOU.
BUT REMEMBER, HE’S YOUR HELPER, NOT YOUR
DOMINATOR. IF YOU’RE WALKING AROUND
TALKING DOUBT, UNBELIEF AND OTHER WORTHLESS JUNK, HE IS SEVERELY LIMITED. HE WON’T SLAP HIS HAND OVER YOUR MOUTH AND
SAY, ‘YOU DUMMY, I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU SAY, I’M GOING TO BLESS YOU ANYWAY.’
NO, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A PERFECT GENTLEMAN. HE’LL NEVER FORCE ANYTHING ON YOU. HE’LL
JUST WAIT QUIETLY FOR YOU TO OPEN THE DOOR FOR HIM TO WORK.
SO DECIDE RIGHT NOW TO START OPENING THAT DOOR. DEVELOP AN AWARENESS OF THE REALITY OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU. STOP SPENDING
ALL YOUR TIME MEDITATING ON THE PROBLEMS YOU’RE FACING AND START SPENDING IT MEDITATING ON THE POWER OF THE ONE INSIDE YOU
WHO CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEMS. IN OTHER WORDS,
START BECOMING MORE GOD-INSIDE MINDED!
DO YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DO THAT? ALL
HEAVEN WILL BREAK LOOSE IN YOUR LIFE.
INSTEAD OF WALKING AROUND MOANING ABOUT HOW BROKE YOU
ARE AND HOW YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO GIVE MUCH TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL, YOU’LL START THINKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE ONE
WITH THE POWER TO BRING GOD’S WORD TO PASS IS LIVING INSIDE YOU, AND YOU’LL
CHANGE YOUR TUNE. YOU’LL START SAYING THINGS LIKE, ‘GOD MEETS
MY NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY, SO I HAVE PLENTY TO MEET MY OWN
NEEDS AND GIVE TO EVERY GOOD WORK!’
THEN THE HOLY SPIRIT
WITHIN YOU WILL GO INTO ACTION. HE’LL
GIVE YOU PLANS, IDEAS AND INVENTIONS. HE’LL
OPEN DOORS OF OPPORTUNITY AND THEN GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH AND ABILITY TO WALK
THROUGH THEM.
INSTEAD OF SITTING
AROUND WISHING THERE WAS SOMETHING YOU COULD DO FOR YOUR SICK, UNSAVED
NEIGHBOUR, YOU’LL MARCH INTO HIS HOUSE, TELL HIM ABOUT JESUS, AND THEN LAY
HANDS ON HIM FULLY EXPECTING THE HOLY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU TO RELEASE GOD’S
HEALING POWER AND CAUSE HIM TO RECOVER.
INSTEAD OF SITTING
AROUND SIMPLY ADMIRING THE WORKS OF JESUS AND READING ABOUT THEM EACH SUNDAY IN
CHURCH, YOU’LL HIT THE STREETS AND DO THOSE WORKS YOURSELF - AND EVEN GREATER
WORKS (JOHN 14:12). YOU’LL STAND UP
BOLDLY AND SAY:
THE SPIRIT OF THE
LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE HATH ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR;
HE HATH SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PREACH DELIVERANCE TO THE
CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY THEM THAT ARE
BRUISED, TO PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD (LUKE 4:18-19).
MORE THAN YOU CAN
THINK
‘WAIT A MINUTE, BROTHER COPELAND, JESUS SPOKE THOSE
WORDS ABOUT HIMSELF.’
‘YES, HE
DID. BUT HE ALSO SAID, ‘…AS MY FATHER
HATH SENT ME, EVEN SO SEND I YOU.’ (JOHN 20:21).
YOU’VE BEEN SENT JUST
LIKE JESUS WAS. YOU’VE BEEN SENT TO
YOUR FAMILY, YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD, YOUR WORKPLACE, YOUR WORLD TO DELIVER THE BURDEN-REMOVING, YOKE-DESTROYING POWER OF GOD!
THAT’S THE REASON GOD
BAPTISED YOU IN THE HOLY SPIRIT. HE
INTENDED FOR YOU TO WALK INTO A PLACE AND BRING THE POWER OF GOD ON THE SCENE - THE SAME POWER THAT ENABLED SAMSON TO
DEFEAT THE PHILISTINES AND MAKE A FOOL OUT THE DEVIL! THE
SAME POWER THAT ENABLED ELIJAH TO CALL DOWN FIRE FROM HEAVEN AND OUTRUN
THE FASTEST HORSES IN THE COUNTRY! THE SAME POWER THAT ENABLED JESUS TO HEAL THE
SICK, RAISE THE DEAD AND CALM THE SEA!
CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT
ALL GOD COULD DO IN THIS EARTH IF WE’D JUST BECOME GOD-INSIDE MINDED ENOUGH TO
LET THAT POWER FLOW?
NO, YOU CAN’T.
FOR AS THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID, ‘HE
IS ABLE TO DO EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK, ACCORDING
TO THE POWER THAT WORKETH IN US.’ (EPH 3:20).
MAYBE YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR GOD TO DO SOMETHING IN
YOUR LIFE OR IN THE LIVES OF THOSE AROUND YOU.
MAYBE YOU’VE BEEN SAYING, ‘I KNOW GOD IS ABLE TO CHANGE THIS SITUATION. I
WONDER WHY HE DOESN’T DO IT?’ IF SO,
READ THAT LAST PHRASE AGAIN. IT SAYS HE IS ABLE TO DO ABOVE WHAT WE CAN
ASK OR THINK ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKETH IN YOU!
START BUILDING YOUR FAITH IN THAT POWER. INSTEAD OF ALWAYS GAZING TOWARD HEAVEN
SAYING, ‘GOD WHY DON’T YOU HELP ME?’ LOOK
AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR AND SAY, ‘THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS LIVING IN ME TODAY AND
I EXPECT HIM TO DO WISE, WONDERFUL, AMAZING AND MIRACULOUS THINGS THROUGH ME!’
INSTEAD OF MEDITATING ON YOUR PROBLEMS AND NATURAL
INADEQUACIES, GET OUT YOUR BIBLE AND
STUDY THE ACTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION. START MEDITATING ON THE POWER AND SUFFICIENCY
OF THE GREATER ONE WHO LIVES AND WALKS WITHIN YOU EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY.
WHEN YOU BEGIN TO REALIZE WHAT A DYNAMITE TEAM YOU TWO REALLY ARE, YOU’LL BLAST OFF
INTO THE REALM OF EXCEEDINGLY ABOVE ALL THAT YOU CAN ASK OR THINK … AND
THE DEVIL WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CATCH YOU.
O LORD GOD, MOST HOLY, O LORD GOD, MOST MIGHTY.
O HOLY AND MERCIFUL SAVIOR, LOVING SAVIOR,
SPIRIT OF GOD, YOU ARE HOLY;
YOU ARE THE THIRD PERSON OF THE TRINITY,
THE SEVENFOLD SPIRIT OF GOD.
YOU ARE THE THIRD PERSON OF THE TRINITY,
THE SEVENFOLD SPIRIT OF GOD.
COMFORTER, COUNSELOR, HELPER, INTERCESSOR, ADVOCATE, STRENGTHENER, STANDBY, SPIRIT OF TRUTH
HOLY SPIRIT, JESUS PROMISED THAT YOU WOULD NEVER LEAVE ME NOR FORSAKE ME.YOU ARE WITH ME UNTIL THE VERY END OF THE AGE. MY SANCTIFIER, SANCTIFY ME BY THE TRUTH. SPIRIT OF ADOPTION, BY YOUR SEAL, I AM MARKED IN CHRIST. BY YOUR SPIRIT, I CRY ‘ABBA DADDY’. SPIRIT OF POWER, LOVE AND OF A SOUND MIND, YOU SHED ABROAD THE LOVE OF GOD IN MY HEART. STRENGTHEN ME WITH POWER THROUGH YOUR SPIRIT IN MY INNER BEING SO THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN MY HEART THROUGH FAITH. CHRIST, THE WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. 
I AM YOUR HOLY TEMPLE. I AM A KING AND A PRIEST TO SERVE MY GOD. SPIRIT OF FIRE, YOU ENDUE ME WITH POWER FROM ABOVE. YOU HAVE BAPTISED ME WITH SPIRIT AND FIRE INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. YOUR WORD IS FIRE. I DO NOT PUT OUT THE SPIRIT'S FIRE. I DO NOT TREAT PROPHECIES WITH CONTEMPT. THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. FOR THESE THREE THINGS AGREE: THE WATER, THE BLOOD AND THE SPIRIT. YOU ARE THE HOLY SPIRIT. I HAVE NOT NEED THAT MAN TEACH ME ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT AS YOUR ANOINTING TEACHES ME ABOUT ALL THINGS, SO I ABIDE IN YOU. SPIRIT OF TRUTH. YOUR WORD IS TRUTH. YOU LEAD ME INTO ALL TRUTH AND SHOW ME THINGS TO COME. YOU REMIND ME OF THE WORDS OF JESUS. YOU STICK CLOSER THAN A BROTHER TO ME, SPIRIT OF THE HOLY TRINITY. COMFORTER , COUNSELOR, ADVOCATE, TEACHER, HELPER, INTERCESSOR, THE STRENGTH OF MY LIFE.
SPIRIT OF POWER, RESURRECTION POWER, THE SAME SPIRIT THAT ROSE CHRIST JESUS FROM THE DEAD YOU DWELL IN ME AND QUICKEN MY MORTAL BODY WITH LIFE. SPIRIT OF GOD, HOLY SPIRIT, YOU ARE THE SPIRIT OF JESUS, SENT TO ABIDE WITH ME FOREVER. THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE, THE FLESH COUNTS FOR NOTHING. SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, YOU SET ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. I WALK ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS. WHERE YOU ARE THERE IS FREEDOM. SINCE I LIVE BY YOUR SPIRIT LET ME KEEP IN STEP WITH YOUR SPIRIT. THE FRUIT OF YOUR SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS AND SELF CONTROL. AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW. YOUR WORDS ARE SPIRIT AND LIFE. FOR IT IS NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER BUT BY YOUR SPIRIT. 
SPIRIT OF THE LORD, REST ON ME. SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING, SPIRIT OF COUNSEL AND OF POWER, SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE AND OF THE FEAR OF THE LORD. I DELIGHT IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD. SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION I HAVE RECEIVED THE SPIRIT WHICH IS OF GOD THAT I MIGHT KNOW THE HOPE TO WHICH HE HAS CALLED ME, THE RICHES OF MY GLORIUS INHERITANCE IN THE SAINTS AND YOUR INCOMPARABLY GREAT POWER FOR US WHO BELIEVE. FOR IT IS NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER BUT BY YOUR SPIRIT.
SPIRIT OF MIGHT AND POWER, THE SAME SPIRIT THAT ROSE CHRIST JESUS FROM THE DEAD, YOU DWELL IN ME. YOU INDUE ME WITH POWER FROM ON HIGH AND I AM A WITNESS FOR JESUS. YOU ARE ABLE TO DO IMMEASURABLY MORE THAN ALL I ASK OR IMAGINE ACCORDING TO YOUR POWER THAT IS AT WORK IN ME. PREACH THE GOSPEL THROUGH ME WITH SIGNS AND WONDERS FOLLOWING FOR YOU WORK WITH YOUR WORD.
YOU WILL CONVICT THE WORLD OF GUILT IN REGARD TO SIN AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUDGEMENT:
SPIRIT OF GRACE AND SUPPLICATION YOU WILL LEAD PEOPLE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS.
NO EYE HAS SEEN, NO EAR HAS HEARD, NOR HAS ENTERED INTO THE HEART OF MAN WHAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE THAT LOVE HIM BUT GOD YOU REVEAL IT TO ME BY YOUR SPIRIT. SPIRIT OF GOD, NO ONE KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF GOD EXCEPT YOU. YOU DO NOT SPEAK ON YOUR OWN BUT ONLY WHAT YOU HEAR. YOU SEARCH ALL THINGS, EVEN THE DEEP THINGS OF GOD. SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION, I HAVE RECEIVED THE SPIRIT WHICH IS OF GOD, THAT I MIGHT KNOW THE THINGS WHICH ARE FREELY GIVEN TO ME FROM GOD. 
ALMIGHTY GOD, YOU SEEK SUCH WORSHIPERS, WHO WORSHIP (BOW DOWN AND KISS TOWARDS) YOU IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. I AM SUCH A WORSHIPER. ALL THE HOLY ONES ARE IN YOUR HAND. TOWARDS YOU I BOW DOWN, AND FROM YOU RECEIVE INSTRUCTION. I AM IN THE HAND OF THE FATHER, AND NO ONE CAN SNATCH ME OUT. THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN ALL. I AM IN THE FIRE OF YOUR HAND, IN THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT, BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF MY TESTIMONY.
GIVE ME THE MIND OF CHRIST. GIVE ME WISDOM FROM ABOVE. JESUS SAID ON THIS ROCK OF REVEALED KNOWLEDGE HE WILL BUILD HIS CHURCH AND THE GATES OF HELL WILL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT. GIVE ME REVELATION KNOWLEDGE, 
WHICH THINGS I ALSO SPEAK, NOT IN THE WORDS WHICH MAN’S WISDOM TEACHES, BUT WHICH THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACHES. AS YOU GIVE ME THE UTTERANCE IN THE SPIRITUAL LANGUAGE, I UTTER SECRET TRUTHS AND HIDDEN THINGS. FOR WHEN I SPEAK IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE, I SPEAK NOT TO MEN BUT TO GOD. HOLY SPIRIT, YOU HELP ME IN MY WEAKNESS, FOR I KNOW NOT HOW TO PRAY, BUT YOU INTERCEDE FOR ME WITH GROANS THAT WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS. OUT OF MY BELLY FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER. AND HE, WHO SEARCHES MY HEART KNOWS THE MIND OF THE SPIRIT, BECAUSE THE SPIRIT INTERCEDES FOR ME IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOD’S WILL. 
HOLY SPIRIT, LEAD ME INTO ALL TRUTH. SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, POUR OUT YOUR SPIRIT FROM ON HIGH ON YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS. GIVE ME REVELATION KNOWLEDGE IN MY SPIRIT THROUGH AN IMPRESSION, PROPHETIC WORD, WORD OF WISDOM, WORD OF KNOWLEDGE, A VISION, A DREAM, SCRIPTURE, A PSALM OR YOUR INNER VOICE. FOR IT IS NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER BUT BY YOUR SPIRIT. 
SPIRIT OF TRUTH, QUICKEN ME AS I READ AND DECLARE THE WORD OF GOD. TEACH ME ALL THINGS, BRING TO MY REMEMBRANCE THE WORDS OF JESUS, LEAD AND GUIDE ME INTO ALL TRUTH AND SHOW ME THINGS TO COME. I AM LED BY YOUR SPIRIT, MIGHTY HELPING HAND OF GOD. FOR IT IS NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER BUT BY YOUR SPIRIT.
SPIRIT OF JUDGEMENT, SPIRIT OF FIRE, YOU DEFEND ME, PROTECT ME AND AVENGE ME. LET ME JUDGE MYSELF THAT I BE NOT JUDGED. . I ABIDE UNDER THE SHADOW OF YOUR WINGS. FOR IT IS NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER BUT BY YOUR SPIRIT.
LORD, LET YOUR HAND BE UPON ME. PUT YOUR WORDS IN MY MOUTH. I SUBMIT TO YOU, LORD. I DECREE THE WORD OF THE LORD. GOD’S WORD IN MY MOUTH IS BLOOD COVENANT.
THE SPIRIT OF THE SOVEREIGN LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE THE LORD HAS ANOINTED ME. I STIR UP THE ANOINTING THAT ABIDES IN ME. RISE UP NOW, IN JESUS NAME. IT IS THE ANOINTING THAT REMOVES BURDENS AND DESTROYS YOKES. I SPEAK IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. I TAKE UP THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT THAT IS THE WORD OF GOD. I STAND ON BLOOD COVENANT. I OVERCOME YOU SATAN BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF MY TESTIMONY. I COME AGAINST YOU SATAN IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY OTHER NAME, IN HEAVEN, ON EARTH AND UNDER THE EARTH. I HUMBLE MYSELF BEFORE GOD, PURIFY MYSELF BY OBEYING THE TRUTH. I SUBMIT TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND YOU WILL FLEE, IT IS WRITTEN.

I FULFILL YOUR DESIRE
SEEKING MY WISDOM
AS FOR PRICELESS TREASURE
GROWING IN THE KNOWLEDGE
OF LOVE WITHOUT MEASURE
FOR GREATER AM I
THAN HE THAT DEVOURS
MY KINGLY ANOINTING
PUTS TO FLIGHT ALL POWERS
LIFE CAN BECOME ABUNDANTLY MORE
ABOVE ALL YOU CAN ASK, IT’S TRUE
WHEN ESTABLISHED SECURELY ON MY ROCK,
DEAR CHILD
RESOLUTE IN MY LOVE FOR YOU
MY HEART CRIED
I NEED HELP BY MY SIDE
A FRIEND WHO LOVES MY LIFE AS HIS OWN
I NEED ANOTHER
CLOSER THAN A BROTHER
WHO STANDS IN THE GAP FOR ME
WHO PROTECTS ME BOTH NIGHT AND DAY
WHO TAKES MY BURDENS AWAY
AND CALLS THEM HIS OWN
WHO STANDS AND FIGHTS FOR ME
AND BRINGS IN THE VICTORY
WHILE I REST IN HIS STRENGTH ALONE
ALONE I CRIED THEN TO MY SURPRISE
I HEARD A LOUD VOICE INSIDE ANSWER ME
‘I AM
INVISIBLE
BUT I
AM YOUR HELP’
‘I AM
INVISIBLE
BUT I
AM YOUR HELP’
INVISIBLE
BUT MY
HELP
INVISIBLE
BUT MY
HELP
GOD
THE CREATOR
THE
SAME GOD WHO SPOKE
‘LET THERE BE LIGHT’
YOU
WALK WITH ME
BE MY
GUIDE
I WALK BY FAITH
AND NOT BY SIGHT
I WALK BY FAITH
AND NOT BY SIGHT
INVISIBLE
BUT MY
HELP
INVISIBLE
BUT MY
HELP
INVISIBLE
BUT MY
HELP
INVISIBLE
BUT MY
HELP
MY PEACE I GIVE UNTO YOU
ONLY BELIEVE
I HAVE OVERCOME
THE WORLD
TRUST IN ME
TRUST ALSO IN GOD
AND MY PEACE
WHICH PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING
SHALL KEEP YOUR HEART
FOR MY YOKE IS EASY
AND MY BURDEN IS LIGHT
MY PEACE SOOTHES AWAY YOUR PAST
EXCHANGE YOUR TROUBLES FOR MY PEACE
ROLL YOUR CARES
UPON MY SHOULDERS
TAKE UP YOUR CROSS
AND FOLLOW ME
EVERY VALLEY SHALL BE EXALTED
EVERY MOUNTAIN BE MADE LOW
THE CROOKED STRAIGHT
THE ROUGH SMOOTH
FOR YOU WALK WITH ME
MY GLORY
SHALL BE MADE KNOWN
ENDURE AND YOU WILL
REIGN WITH ME
