24/6/06 Law and grace
The consciousness of God makes a person live on a different dimension to the person who is not. God fills the person’s every thought and word and therefore he can expect greater blessing then just operating in one’s own strength. The prophets spoke what they believed was the word of God. Man speaks what is his word or opinion. Man is limited by his flesh. God is unlimited and therefore a man who knows the mind of God speaks the word of God. The mind receives His word and the mouth says His word. The saying word is like the word of God that is spoken and goes out and reaps the works of the spoken word. This is how God works. He speaks through you and creates what is spoken, a curse or a blessing. Every word that comes from your mouth has the power to destroy or create life. Therefore when you speak forth the word of God, not just scripture but also the now word, received through knowing the mind of God, you bring forth the fruit of the revealed word. This is something that man cannot understand. Many are caged through indoctrination. God’s word liberates. The religions of the world indoctrinate. God gave us His word as a guide and not as a rule book. Man makes it a rule book that binds rather then setting free. Jesus came as the Word of God to show us how to use the scriptures to live and not be bound by it. Therefore He was able to do things on the sabbath which were taboo to the Jews. This is the difference between living by the law and living by grace. Grace fulfils the law but is not bound by the law. God is above the law because He is love. Love is able to bend for the sake of the other. Let the Holy Spirit lead you and you will never be bound any more. A man walking in love is above the law. The law is for sinners to bring them to justice. The law was made for man to lead him to salvation and make him aware of his own sin. Now love fulfils the law and therefore the law is redundant where love is. Jesus revealed God’s love for sinners and in this way fulfilled the law. In Him I am free no more to fear the law but to embrace it and fulfil its demands through the power of love.

Operating in the Spirit
12/6/06 Operate in the Spirit
Make a check of the state of your heart each day. From the heart arise the real issues in life. If the state of your heart is sick then it will produce sick fruits. If the state of your heart is ripe with fruit then it will be fruitful. God is the God of the moment and of eternity. When you trust in Him then rivers of living water will flow out of you. For too long you have relied on your own strength. This is not the way God designed you. God designed you to be dependent on Him. He will see you through every step of the way. God wants your heart and this is why He sent Jesus. Jesus has to be all and only to you. This is the only way to be His glory. You are God’s glory. He will provide all you need. A materialistic age will look to things for fulfilment. A man walking in the spirit has his eyes fixed in the eternal. It is short sighted to only think of this life. Many fail and loose heart because they have no eternal vision. This material age will all pass away. What is new today is old tomorrow. So why bother to set goals for material gain. Your Kingdom is in heaven. Fix your eyes in heaven and you will live a heavenly life on earth. The kingdom of God is within you and therefore you can enjoy kingdom pleasures right now in the spirit. Your brain is just a vehicle of your spirit. Your brain is not the end of everything. There is much more to life then the physical. Therefore operate in the spirit and do not give into your fleshly desires.

God's word has the power to transform
10/6/06 God’s word has the power to transform
The power of the Lord is the Holy Spirit. In Him you have eternal power. This power is greater then any earthly power. No earthly power can transform a soul. God’s power is unto salvation. Yet God’s power is not limited in anyway. He spoke the word and the whole world was created through His spoken word. His now word to you is, speak His word and be healed. Yes His word spoken in faith is the power that can transform. Man’s word is limited in its ability to work that work that only God can do. God’s word has transforming power. Therefore when you speak His word it goes out to perform the work. The word and the speaking forth of the word will do what the word says it will do. So do not hesitate to speak forth His word as it has power unimaginable. Yes be careful what you say for as a person in the spirit you have the power to build or destroy. Now you have been set apart to be holy and therefore do not allow any lazy word or careless word be spoken. Holy is the Lord and just as His word is written and spoken to create, so imagine that your word also has the power to create or to destroy. Repent of your sin of careless words and be renewed in the spirit of His word. Come Holy Spirit and transform my spirit through your now word.

The Kingdom of God is of power
5/6/06 The Kingdom of God is of power.
The Kingdom of God is not just words but of power. Power to do and to change. This is what Jesus came to reveal to His people. When the people of God believe in their God then God’s power is available to transform every situation, person and thing. God’s power is not limited in any way, for He is the Creator. He has power over all creation as He created them by the Word of His power. When you experience the transforming power of God then you will desire to move in faith in all things. The power of God is for achieving His Kingdom purpose. You only need His power to achieve that which is impossible in man’s eyes. God proved this by raising Jesus from the dead. Those who have eyes to see will perceive and be transformed. First you must believe then you will see. This seeing is not through the physical eyes but through the eyes of belief. Now you can believe and your belief will take you to another dimension where the spirit world operates. Now you will see things with the eyes of the spirit and your responses will be different. What you see will be what you perceive. Perception then leads to action. Power is released through your belief which then transforms your perception and brings the results of your Godly perception. Everything in the Kingdom of God is a matter of spiritual perception. When the people lost their perception they began to think like animals. Man created in the image of God has the ability to think like God and rule and reign in power over all His created beings, including the angelic and demonic realms. This is the power that is available to you. Now enter in and possess it in Jesus Name.

Walking in the fear of the Lord
4/6/06 Walking in the fear of the Lord
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. This fear is not like the fear of man or animal. This fear is to know God as Father who loves and protects. God desires to have fellowship with His children. To walk in the fear of the Lord is to live in His presence all the time. This is to walk in communion with Him, His Spirit with your spirit. The Holy Spirit in you enables you to walk in power. Power is the capacity to do what you cannot do in your own strength. God is the source of all knowledge and wisdom. Therefore when you walk in the spirit you have access to power that is unavailable outside the spirit. The spirit is eternal and therefore you have access to eternal power. The Kingdom of God is a Kingdom of power. If you lack power to do then you are not working in His power but in your own strength which is soulish. Soulish power is different from spirit power. Now when you choose to walk in the fear of the Lord you choose to walk in the power of His love. This is walking in the powerful presence of God. This is to walk like David when he faced Goliath. This is to be able to bring down every word and power that raises its head to counter your faith and trust in God. This is to be able to pull down every stronghold over your life. This is the power of God. Now go forth knowing that all the forces of heaven are for you and against the kingdom of darkness. No weapon formed against you will be able to prosper. The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. No philosophy is able to stand against the power of God. God’s Word is the last word. Come Holy Spirit and empower me to walk in the fear of the Lord.

Imagination
29/5/06 Imagination
What you imagine has the power to build or to destroy. Imagination is the inner eyes of the soul that reflect on the state of your heart. If your heart is gripped by fear then your imagination will be filled with fearful images. If your heart is filled with love then your imagination will be filled with love images. If you are tormented or controlled by lust then images of lust will possess you. The devil works through your imagination to destroy. Dreams are a reflection of the state of your soul.
You have some insight into the state of your soul by studying the main themes of your imagination. You can then take steps to change it. Your imagination is based on your beliefs, which control your thought life and what you will do, or behaviour. When you are filled with God’s Word then you will imagine His works and do them. This is why it is so important what you allow yourself to see and hear. All your senses can influence your imagination. A touch works through your imagination to produce images of love or hate. People who lack this capacity imagine things in order and there is no feeling associated with it other then when the order is disrupted. People who lack imagination have problems in relationships because they are unable to feel and flow with the story line and therefore miss the point. They are good at numbers and figures but lack the capacity to abstract and therefore perceive the deeper meaning of situations. The ability to abstract is related to imagination.
Imagination is the God given ability to see with the mind’s eye and to form a picture that enables you to feel and enjoy life to its fullness. Without imagination life is a boring grey with no colour.
Therefore check what you imagine for it can lead you to fear the worst or enjoy the best. Fear fuels your imagination and this is what leads to anxiety and depression.
Key to success is in imagining that which leads to success.
