    About this ebook

    Christ gave you a special gift that is still in you so you do not need any other teacher. His gift teaches you about everything, and it is true, not false. So continue to live in Christ, as his gift taught you.

    1 John 2:27 (NCV)

    With the anointing of Gods Spirit, our journeys in life become interesting, especially because of the access that we have by revelation.

    But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. Job 32:8 (KJV)

    By His Spirit was born in the place of intercession, intercession over a court case for a then member of my congregation. In passionate prayer and supplication with longing in the Spirit, the situation received clear and precise divine reaction that inspired the writing of this book.

    When we live By His Spirit, we are channelled and promoted in Gods purposes, hence we achieve constant victories, which is what this book is set to help you attain.

      Dedicated to C3 Lighthouse;

      A journey By His Spirit

      Nevertheless I tell you the truth. 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.

      John 16:7

      He will glorify me because it is from me that he

      will receive what he will make known to you. ¹⁵ All

      that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I

      said the Spirit will receive from me what he will

      make known to you.

      John 16:14-15 (NIV)

      That the sharing of your faith may become

      effective by the acknowledgment of every good is in

      you in Christ Jesus.

      Philemon 1:6

      ‘To be led of His Spirit is

      To be fed of His Spirit

      And

      To be blessed By His Spirit is

      To have been yielded to His Spirit.’

      Bim Folayan

      February 2014

      Introduction

      God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth

      (John 4:24).

      The Bible makes it clear that God is a Spirit. If God is a Spirit, it then means that spiritual realities can only be perceived BY THE SPIRIT, which transcends human senses (Romans 8:8). Ephesians 1:3 stipulate that God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places in Christ. This then implies that those who have yielded Lordship of their lives over to Christ are born of Him. They consequently, have received the power (ability) to become the children of God. According to John 1:12-13 (KJV) "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." Due to this relationship, they have their spirits enabled to operate with God their Father. This enablement is what gives the spiritual consciousness (awareness). In 1 Corinthians 2:12, we read "Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit who is from God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God."

      At creation, the Spirit of God did the formation of all things - "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters." (Genesis 1:1-2). It is recorded for us in the Bible that God spoke to His people through those He anointed and the prophets who were able to discern when His Spirit speaks. David said in 2 Samuel 23:2-3 (NIV) "The Spirit of the Lord spoke through me; his word was in my tongue. ³. The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel said…" God still speaks today and ministers By His (Holy) Spirit to His Children who relate with Him by the spirit. If we deny that God speaks to us today, we deny the unchanging nature of God. In any case, we see this manifestation in Acts 2:1-12.

      God, By His Spirit ministers to those in relationship with Him, who listen to hear Him beyond their ears, even with their hearts. They know in their spirit/inner man and have the conviction/witness in their hearts that He is the One. They are endowed with discernment beyond the physical to spiritually receive and perceive what God is communicating. He speaks to them at any time. As they listen to Him and obey Him, they receive further inspiration, guidance, and are led in the path of righteousness, excellence, glory and dominion. The Spirit of God in them (Joel 2:28) gives them this advantage. …the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints (Colossians 1:26). The privilege of the New Birth (salvation) took place in our spirit, regenerated our spirit to have divine access, receive divine insight, knowledge, understanding and foresight on episodes in divine plans (Matthew 13:11). This is made possible by reason of the supernatural and higher life received through the redemptive power of Christ. Apostle Paul narrated to King Agrippa, the enablement and empowerment received by the reason of divine regeneration. "…to make you a minister and a witness both of
