Life in the Spirit

27/2/06 Life in the Spirit
The challenge of each day is the extent you will choose each day to walk in the spirit or in the flesh. These 2 states determine the outcome of your day. The walk in the spirit is love, joy and peace. In the spirit you are completely submitted to the Lord. No untoward thought or feeling will interfere with your walk. You live in the moment for the moment. There is no thought of the past or the future. Everything is an eternal now. In this state you have all of God’s resources at your feet and all you need to do is ask. This is the walk of faith. There is nothing that you can’t do for all His resources are available to you. Even money is not a problem for He owns everything that you see. In this state you are able to surmount any problem and situation. All wisdom is available to you. Revelational knowledge will be given to you. This is the state that God wants you to operate in. This is the position you need to be operating from in Christ. Yet this is what you fail to operate in and from. You loose sight of the great command and regress to the state of the flesh. In the flesh you are in control and therefore are limited in your responses. In the spirit God is in control and anything can happen. Therefore do not rely on your resources but operate freely from your position in Christ, seated in heavenly places with Christ. What a dynamic shift this will be for body, soul and spirit. Come Holy Spirit and help me today to live each moment for the moment.

Only the Cross of Jesus can set you free

26/2/06 Only the Cross of Jesus can set you free

The shadow is just the illusion of what is in the inside of you. This part of you is against the Holy Spirit and seeks to confuse and disrupt your walk with the Lord. You need to take a offensive stance towards your shadow. In this area do demons dwell. The truly possessed are controlled by their shadow. Everyone has a shadow part. It is to the de-gree that their shadow controls them that results in their peace or torment. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse you from the influence of your shadow. As you walk in the real-ity of the power of the blood you are cleansed from the dis-ease of the shadow. The shadow holds all that you have in-herited from your family line and also the experiences you have had with darkness and sin. The more you expose yourself to darkness the more your shadow will oppress you. Many are unaware of their shadow and are alerted to its presence only in times of crisis. The neurotic copes through his defences to control the expression of his shadow. The psychotic has lost control and his shadow has broken through his defences and now controls all his thoughts and feelings. It is the shadow part of you that needs to be brought to the Cross and be delivered from its control over you. Many have crucified the flesh and its works by submitting themselves to the work of the Cross by faith. Jesus said it is finished and now by faith you can re-ceive the freedom from the oppression of your shadow by claiming the victory through the Cross. This is the message of salvation. Only the blood of Jesus can completely set you free from the devil and sin. Come to the Cross and be saved.

The power of the subconscious mind

20/2/06 The power of the subconscious mind
The power of the subconscious mind to heal and restore is unimaginable. This is the powerhouse of the Holy Spirit. He resides in your subconscious mind. When you enter into your subconscious state you are more receptive to the Holy Spirit and your own spirit. The Holy Spirit is your leader and guide. When you give Him the place He is due then all things flow together to achieve His purposes. Therefore learn to operate from your subconscious and see what a difference it makes to your daily walk and talk. He is above the material world and therefore you have access to the immaterial world. From this position in Christ you are able to operate on a plane above the material. You will come face to face with ethereal forces and know what it means to do spiritual warfare. This is where God resides and He works from above to establish His will. You come in line with His will to accomplish His work on earth. This is what it means to do His will and advance His Kingdom. So be bold and very courageous for the Kingdom of God is within you.

Engaging your subconscious mind to live life to the full

19/2/06 Engaging your subconscious to live life to the full.
The subconscious mind needs to be brought into operation to aid your actions. One way to do this is through self-hypnosis. You enable your subconscious mind to come to the fore and allow the conscious to take a back seat. Most of the time you are operating with your conscious mind. This is limited in its potential to bring about change as it is controlled by your senses. There is no limit for the subconscious because it is beyond the limit of the senses. The subconscious transcends the physical and seeks for answers in the metaphysical. This is the realm of the spiritual. In God you are protected from forces that are not aligned with your belief system. When you are grounded in the Word then you have nothing to fear. You operate from the basis of His Word to receive His promises through your subconscious mind which is linked with the Holy spirit. Your emotions and will are also subject to the subconscious mind. As you practice this you attain more focus and in this way sharpen your faculties to breakthrough in areas where this far you have met with blockade. In all areas of your being the key is to get your subconscious to cooperate with you. If your subconscious is against something then it won’t work. If you believe that Jesus Christ is alive then you will walk as if He is. However if your subconscious disagrees with this then you will find yourself in conflict and therefore frustrated in your attempts to live according to His calling. Prayer in the spirit is to operate in the spirit. Meditation is a similar activity in the spirit. You can love in the spirit or with your feelings. Loving in the spirit is what agape love is all about. You can operate in the flesh or in the spirit. For a Christian living life in the spirit is what it is all about.

The best defence is offensive action

18/2/06 The best defence is offensive action
Most people walk in defence because they walk in fear. Fear of the consequences of their action. Defence is like taking no action and the status quo exists. Many live all their lives in defence and never really know how to live. This is the predicament of the masses. It’s only those who have overcome fear that can live life fearlessly. This is to live life in the offensive. This is to take charge and not give in to popular opinion or peer pressure. A man who knows himself lives life according to his knowledge and his actions are congruous with his beliefs. A man who is defensive lives in fear and is not sure of his actions and therefore never goes anywhere. Defensive living bears a high cost physically and emotionally. It is stressful living and not stress free living. When a man knows himself and is prepared to take responsibility for his actions then there is nothing to fear. This is stress free living. The stress that is generated through offensive action is transmuted into energy to carry out the action rather then defence. This is why you need to abandon all to Jesus so that you can live in offensive action in His love. When you are at peace at the centre of your being then you no longer live to please others but to please God.

Prayer the means of communication with God

12/2/06 Prayer - the means of communication with God
Prayer is the way for a man of God to maintain intimacy with God. This is the main means of communication with God. The busyness of life is a distraction to time spent with God. Limit your distractions by choosing to only attend to those activities that demand your attention. Why spend your time in useless activity when you can spend it in prayer. Prayer is giving of your time to God to minister to you and through you to others. God will bring situations and people to your attention and He will work through your prayers to establish what is in heaven on earth. This is the way you establish His Kingdom on earth. Remember God has an army of angels who are at work and these angels carry His mission to men to fulfil it. The whole earth is the Lord’s and He will do His work through His angels. Each man has a guardian angel and this angel will minister through your prayers. Each man has the opportunity to do right and resist evil. Your prayers will enable him to choose what is right. See how important prayer is. There is a lot of talk but one must minister in the spirit to reach the mind and heart of God. The reason many prayers are not answered is due to unbelief. In the spirit you can bypass the hindrances of your mind and breakthrough into the spirit realm. This is why many are sick because they minister through their mind rather then through their spirit. Come Holy Spirit and minister through me to a dry and thirsty land.

Confront your own devils first

5/2/06 Confront your own devils first.
The evil within a person is what causes the problems in relationships. When the evil within is addressed then relationships become easy to handle. As long as the evil within is seen as a result of the other person’s evil then it becomes difficult to relate. Psychosis results from a state of loss of insight to one’s own evil. Most of the evil is seen as coming from without like voices and visions of oppression. The most disturbing are the ones that make the person feel he is under the control of someone else. This is just an extreme of what is normally experienced. Therefore a person who has come to the place of accepting one’s own evil or sin is at the place of deliverance and healing. This is the only place of healing. The world is in the naming and blaming game which is why terrorism thrives in a society where paranoia is rive. This means that fear has taken over and where fear rules, terrorism of every kind rules. Bullying is a symptom of fear. The underlying spirit must be confronted before change is possible. Therefore address your own devils. Confront your thoughts of evil and then you will be able to separate your thoughts from the thoughts of the other. Sharing your thoughts and opinions as yours enables the other to express theirs freely. This is the basis of good harmonious relationships – open and free communication with no hidden agendas. This breeds trust and creates an atmosphere of love.

Whatever is not from faith is sin

4/2/06 Whatever is not from faith is sin
This is the command that we need to live in dependence on God in all things and at all times otherwise we walk in sin and not in righteousness. The righteousness of God demands that we walk in the light as He is in the light. Jesus always looked to His Father and was dependent on His Father and did what He saw His Father doing. This is how we need to walk too. Then none of the pressures that we put upon ourselves will affect us because we trust all to the Father. This is what eternal life is all about. We are safe and secure in His hands and there is nothing that will happen to us without the Father’s consent. Even Satan had to have permission to tempt Eve in the garden of Eden. God allowed this to happen and He gives us all a choice. If we call on His Name then he will give us the resources to overcome. The life in us is eternal and therefore is not limited by death and grows in us as an everlasting life bearing fruit to eternity. Walking by faith is to renounce all other ways and live in His love alone. Then you will find that the old patterns of defensive living loose their hold on you and you come alive to what is now. No more worries of the future or regrets of the past but only new life in the Spirit.
