Labouring by the Spirit of God

Join This HeartCry Prayer - Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11:30am - 1:30pm (UK time)


Zechariah 4:1-6 (KJV)

 ”And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.  And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.  So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?  Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. 

The fresh outpouring of The Spirit of God is readily made available to everyone to work for God without bringing any form of displeasure to Him. It is The Holy Spirit that qualifies all to walk with God, and work for Him as true Kingdom Labourers.

1st Corinthians 12:7 (KJV) 

 “But the manifestation of The Spirit is given to every man to profit withal” 

There are some spiritual necessities for my labour in the Kingdom of God: 

1. My body MUST keep pace with The Spirit in matters of The Divine. 
It is very important not to be carried away, but to take notice of all the instructions of God by all means (to be alert and willing to take instructions from Him daily – Isaiah 50:4

***To be fit for The Holy Spirit, I must be unfit for the flesh*** 

PRAYER: 

  • Lord please make me unfit for the flesh in every area 
  • Stir me up, and awaken me by Your Spirit until I measure up with the divine intention for my labour 
  • Let my body and my spirit agree with the purpose of Heaven for my life and labour 

  
2. I MUST run with GOD's sole ability to achieve His purpose without the help of man. 
Nothing can be / will be left undone as far as God is concerned. His proven ability for HIS WORK is evident in creation and nothing is impossible with God. Genesis 1 and Luke 1:37 


PRAYER: 

  • Lord please have mercy on me in whatever way that I have neglected Your Work 
  • Help me to labour actively in the same way You come to me, however demanding! 
  • Open my eyes afresh to my sufficiency in You for the labour You have committed into my hands 


3. I MUST know the MIND OF GOD for His Labour. 
To know the exact thing He wants done, respond to His Word concerning what to be done, and run with what needs to be done. 
*Jesus stayed in the temple for three days making enquiries from both God and men. – Luke 2:46-49* 

PRAYER: 

  • Lord in my walk with You, please unite my mind with Yours: help me not to run my labour race in assumption. 
  • Hasten my response to Your mind concerning Your Work, and help me to run with it without delay. 
  • Lord please increase my pace as I run with Your vision for my labour: Breathe on my pace in Your Kingdom Labour. 

  
4. I MUST labour in and from my Glorified Position (divine position to experience mysterious multiplication in my service unto God). 
By way of various divine encounters, God wants to reposition me and my labour for HIM. 
Through the Power of the Holy Spirit – my labour in God's Kingdom is taken care of by the great influence of The Oil of Grace.  - Ephesians 2:8-9. 


PRAYER:

  • Lord help me to know and accept the significance of Divine Order in my labour. 
  • Make me worthy of the key to multiplication (The Oil of Grace) You are pouring afresh on me: Lord please humble me for the great influence of the Oil of Grace on my labour. 
  • Let me be satisfied with Divine Guidance, and accept The Grace that accompanies it. 
  • Open my life and labour to all the illustrations You have put in place through Your Word and the human hands around me. 
  • HELP ME BEGIN TO SEE YOUR HANDWRITING ON EVERYTHING BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
