GLORIFY HIM

Man was made for this one purpose, to glorify God. God is in you and around you. He operates through you. When you come to this realization then you become like Him. Jesus was like Him on earth and you are called to be like Jesus on earth as He is in heaven. This may sound impossible but this is possible in Jesus. Jesus full of the Holy Spirit walked on earth as sinless man. He was sinless because he was not born in sin. Yet he bore our sins on his body on the tree and died a death that sets me free to be like Him on earth as He is in heaven. All that hinders me now is my consciousness. When I am conscious of his presence then I am operating like Him. Many times I am so taken up with earthly matters that I fail to walk in His presence. God created me and I am created for His purpose. All mankind and all creation was created for this one purpose,to glorify Him. Therefore glorify Him today in all your ways and see how you will operate in power.

SINLESS PURITY

The Lord causes you to manifest in thought His mind on mAtters that concern life and living. His words pour out through you as you open up to him and act as a channel for Him. We are all channels for Him to manifest His works. He works through all creation. Those who are open to him will manifest goodness and holiness. Never reject any of His creation. His creation is marred by sin but that does not mean that they are less then perfect in His sight. God does not see sin for He is holy. He sees you through His blood and so in Him you are sinless. His blood shed on Calvary enables Him to see you as you are , a perfect creation. This is how God sees you. You must see yourself as God sees you. As you walk in the light as He is in the light then the blood of Jesus cleanses you from all sin. In this sinless state anything is possible. This is the state of sinless purity which is the state in which God resides. You are able to be in this state only because of His blood. His blood is alive and powerful and cleanses you continuously. This is the everlasting sacrifice purchased at Calvary for you. What a wonderful transaction was made and now you can enjoy the privilege of this transaction now and for eternity. Sinless perfection is your destiny and it begins now. In this state it is impossible to sin. When you are conscious of this state then you have transferred to a different dimension of operation in the spirit. This is the realm of miracles.You have moved from the world of form to the formless where the spirit is. Your spirit joins with His Spirit and you are one just as the Father and the Son are one.

SEPARATlON AND DlVORCE

Separation and divorce are evils that arise from the pit. The devil seeks to steal, kill and destroy and anyone who participates in these evils are the devil's agents. Sexual immorality many times is the cause of this and is condemned by God. Any sexual perversion including homosexuality is condemned by God. Sin distorts the perception of evil. When society shuns the word of God then evil will creep in and darkness will cloud the minds of men. Evil is so devoius that it has many faces. Like a carmellion it manifest its face in darkness. Why does evil operate in darkness? Because it likes to hide its works from the light. Men who walk in darkness are blinded by the light. Illicit drug also promote the works of darkness. Therefore walk in the light as He is in the light.

THE WORD OF HlS POWER

Meditate on His word day and night. His word is the source of your life. In His words are contained the oxygen for your soul. Like blood that feeds your organs so is the word for your soul. In His word lies the power of God to transform your inner being. It is God's thought in written form. Imagine the power contained in His word to change. When His word penetrates your soul it releases benefits untold. It is health to your body and your soul. If man's word has such power then imagine what God's word can do. Your destiny lies in His word to you today. Abide in me.

PROMISES OF GOD

All things work for good to those who love God. What a priceless promise. God's promises are yes and amen and cannot be reversed. When you receive His promise by faith then you can expect a result. Promises are to be received by faith. They are the grist to the mill of faith. Faith is the station where promises are milled and the product is produced for consumption. Put your faith in action on the promises of God rather then your own thoughts and opinions of man. In this way you train your brain to expect what God says then what man says. The doctor says impossible, God says anything is possible. Who do you believe? This is the acid test of faith. Both are right in their own knowledge but faith believes in the goodness of God then the knowledge of man. Come now and trust God and see all your fears and worries melt in His presence. Rejoice and be glad when troubles come, for God is with you and victory is assured. Thank you Lord for your promises.

YOUR FAITH BEING TESTED

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord and not in his own strength. A man who trusts in the Lord is a man who can stand any trial because His faith will hold him up. The Lord is with you always. He is a armor around you and He lives in you. His Spirit in you is your hope of salvation. His Spirit in you will keep you sane when everything around you is crumpling.This is the faith that kept the saints alive when they went through fiery trials. This is the kind of faith that will be the trophy you bring to Him when you appear before His throne of mercy and grace. There is nothing else you can bring to Him on that day but your faith. Your faith is what God is strengthening at this time. Through all the troubles you have gone through and are going through it is your faith that is being tried. Just as gold is purified so also your faith is purified till it is as pure and as tough as gold. Trust Him at all times and do not let the enemy steal what is yours. Thank you Lord for sending your Spirit who dwells within me to help me be the man you have called me to be.

TODAY

Today is the only day you have to live for. Tomorrow is just a dream. Yesterday has past and gone forever. Living in the Spirit is to live each day as the last day of your life. What is done is done. What has happened has happened. You can't go back and change it. All you can do is make a better day today. Living in the now is the only way to live a full life in the Spirit. Yesterday was a good day but today will be better. Each day as you live for this day, life will take a new direction. All you can do is sow and leave the rest to God. In Him you have all wisdom and knowledge to do and say the right thing. Do not waste your time in vain imaginations for this will sap you of strength. Focus your thoughts on God's words and you will find strength to carry on. Life in the now enables you to focus all your energies in the now and get the best from it. Your old pattern is to let the old dominate your present. Now shift your focus and stay fixed on the now and be set free from the guilt of the past and the fears of the future. God is in the now because He s eternal.

TRIAL OF FAITH

Prepare for the days ahead are going to be difficult. The tempter is going to tempt you in various ways but you must fix your mind on Jesus. He is within you to help you when you go through these distressing periods. It is not easy for anyone at this this time but the Lord is with you and will help you. Be steadfast in your commitment to Him and He will see you through. The darkness is part of the course. Think of those who have endured more then what you are going through. Know that you will come through this even a better person. God is working things out in you and so you can rejoice in times of trouble. The trouble itself is not to be welcomed but the trial of faith will make you stronger. In this you can be assured that your faith is the only thing that can hold you up during these times. So pray for mercy and be encouraged.

THE CROSS

To keep oneself fixed on God will enable one to be whole and secure in His love. No greater love is there then the one who died for you so that you can be free from the power and guilt of sin. Sin is as real as your body and will violate every area of your life and pollute it. God knew that man was helpless in his sinful state. The power of sin is so real that no man can overcome it. Man has tried to overcome it through self flagellation and by flogging themselves to death. Yet sin has a power more then man can bear. This is why God sent His own Son to die on the Cross to set man free from its power and guilt. Now man is free to be as the Cross has set Him free from the power and guilt of sin. Yet sin has blinded man to this simple remedy for sin and he still works to rid himself of it. It is only the grace of God that can reveal the mystery that has been revealed to the sons of man through the ages. Lord have mercy and open the eyes of man that they may see and believe and be set free. The battle is not with flesh and blood but with principalities and powers that rule the world. Now rise up and move in the power of God to subdue the enemies of your soul and be victorious.

LISTENING FOR HIS VOICE

What comfort there is in hearing God's voice. To hear His voice amidst all other voices is rest for the soul. His voice is different because it just revives your soul. It is not positive thinking. It is a voice that you hear from heaven and it has a different quality to it. When you hear His voice you realize you are not alone. You have a Comforter and He comes in at the right time to lift you up and assure you of His love. His voice bring new wisdom and revelation. There are so many voices you hear in your head but His voice comes from the heart. You still hear through the same channel but the voice has a comforting and distinct quality to it. It is as if you are hearing it for the first time because it is fresh and different from all other voices. You yearn to hear His voice like a deer that thirsts for water in a desert place. You wait to hear His voice come through when you are bombarded by your own thoughts. You realize quickly that it is so easy to be lost in your own thoughts and never hear His voice. However when you are determined to hear His voice then He comes through so clearly you can't miss it. Thank you Lord you are so real and I look to you for daily manna to feed my soul.

CONFIDENCE IN THE LORD

Confidence in the Lord and in His plans for you is what will see you through trouble times. Look back to see His faithfulness. Look forward to the great things He has planned for you. You never got to where you are alone. The Lord was with you all the way. Thank Him for all that has happened and be glad. You can rejoice in all circumstances and situations for your confidence is in Him. This is what it means to live in abundance. The abundance mentality comes from a intimate relationship with the Lord. Jesus cried on the Cross but rested knowing it was His Father's will. Contentment is great joy for those who rest in His will. Not my will but yours be done must be your daily song. This will remove all cares and worries and you will enjoy the present moment fully. All your cares will be wiped out and you will shine like the noon day sun. Transparency will reflect the image of Christ in you and others will be warmed by His presence in you. It is your ego that prevents others from seeing me in you. Death to the ego will open up and let His gifs and fruits flow through you.

ONLY TOTAL SURRENDER WILL DO

Only total surrender can avail total possession. The key to total possession is total surrender. A well that is empty can be filled. When you empty yourself of self then you are ready for a infilling. A well that is filled will overflow to blessing. This is the only way to please God. Jesus lived a crucified life and ended at the Cross. He had already emptied Himself when He left His position in heaven and took the form of man. Now He lives to fill everyone else with His Spirit. His Spirit is freely available to all but only some will avail of Him. He is roaming the earth to fill all who will empty themselves. The world will hold no more attraction. Yes the flesh will lust after things but this will be temporary. These lusts only serve the flesh and not the spirit. Fix your mind on this one thing, to be filled with God's Spirit. Then this one thing will possess you and turn you into a mighty vessel of God.

POSSESSED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

Possessed by the Holy Spirit is the state of true Pentecost. To be possessed by the Holy Spirit is to be totally controlled by Him in thought, word and deed. This possessed state is a continual state and not one that comes and goes. All you need to do is surrender to Him and He will do the rest. It all comes down to your will. Are you prepared to surrender your will and say 'Not my will but yours O Lord'. This is the only state that really will bring heaven down to earth. When Jesus said those words on the Cross He brought heaven down to earth. It is a clash of 2 Kingdoms, the Kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of hell. Jesus came to usurp power from Satan and bring heaven to earth. Now you can live a heavenly life when you surrender all to Him. It is so simple yet so profound. This is all that is necessary and this is why only the Holy Spirit can enable you to attain this. It is not by works but by His Spirit alone. Which spirit are you enabling today? The worldly satanic spirit or God's Spirit. I choose to be filled in His Spirit.

WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE

His blood and His Word and His Holy Spirit are sufficient witnesses to His life. The word of your testimony and the blood of the Lamb are the weapons of your warfare. When you live in enemy territory then you need weapons to defend and to fight the enemy. The enemy of your soul is spiritual not psychological. The psychological is a surface phenomenon just like the physical. A headache is just a physical symptom of an attack. Your body was made for health and not sickness. Sickness is an attack of the evil one to discourage you. Pain in any form is evil for you were not born to live in pain. Therefore face every sickness and disease and stress as an attack of the enemy on your soul. Divorce is an attack. Conflict is an attack. The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Anything that is not these is not of God. Conflict, stress and unhappiness is not of the Kingdom of God. Therefore face the enemy by using your spiritual weapons and see the enemy flee. His blood is sufficient for every sin and His Word is the supplier of all your needs. When you receive in the spirit then you will receive in the form by faith. When you receive healing in the spirit you receive healing in the flesh.

POSSESSION

The Holy Spirit wants 100% possession of you. Anything less will make you vulnerable to oppression from within. He wants to possess you so that He can work through you. Imagine the potential within you when you surrender all to Him. Your surrender will translate to His possession. He can only possess what you surrender to Him. He will take your marriage when you surrender to Him. He will purify the relationship and keep it secure in Him. He will not allow the enemy to infiltrate it. What God has joined let no man put asunder and that includes the marriage partner. God is at work in you to bring you to a place of total surrender. It is your own ego that prevents Him from completely possessing you. Kill your ego and see how easy it is to surrender to Him. Your ego wants its own way and will refuse to surrender. To surrender is to be detached from your ego and the world around you. This is the place of perfect peace and joy. In this state nothing will phase you. You are in heaven seated with Christ.

THE CROSS, A POSITIVE SIGN

The Holy Spirit is your senior partner. With Him you have the confidence to face every challenge. Each challenge is seen as a faith challenge. You wait for His instructions and then act on them. There is no other more exciting way to live then in the Spirit. The spirit man will cooperate with the Spirit of God to accomplish great things for God. A man who fixes his mind on God will do great things because God is on his side. God and man in unison can do great things. Therefore do not fear what the enemy can do for God will turn what is intended for evil to good. God changed the power of sin by cancelling it at the Cross. This is the message of the Cross, good for evil. It is a positive sign of victory and not a negative sign of defeat. What the devil intended for evil turned out to be the salvation for man. What a anti climax for the devil. So also in your life when you turn everything to God He will turn your mourning into dancing. Hallelujah.

EMBRACE CHANGE

Failure is not the end of the story. Failure many times can be the stimulus for change. Change is the grist to the mill for advancement and progress. No change is usually associated with a gradual degradation of your life. It is not only the young who are challenged. All age groups are challenged but it is your attitude to the challenge that determines the outcome. A positive attitude always results in a better outcome. A positive attitude is an attitude of faith that the best is yet to come. It embraces change. Conflict is not seen as an end but a means to a better end. Therefore embrace change in the physical, psychological and spiritual dimensions of your being. Change in any dimension will affect other areas. A decision to fast will have psychological and spiritual impact. Never settle down or retire for this is the beginning of a decline in your faculties. Always be vibrant and active and outward looking. Such a person will always be growing and never boring.

WALK IN THE LIGHT

Precious are the moments of intimacy with the Lord. These intimate moments are like blasts of anointings in the Spirit. The anointings crystallize your relationship with the Lord. Look out for these moments. They are like light shafts that penetrate the inner most parts of your being. They are revelations in the Spirit that come and pass and you must grasp it. To grasp it is to make it your own. When it becomes your own then it is like you have possessed it. What is possessed becomes a part of you. It is like the word of God that shines on your heart and delivers you from all your fears. God's word penetrates through the darkness and lightens your path. When you walk in His presence then you become light. His light will shine through you and expel all the darkness around you. Don't give into those slavish thoughts that will bind you. You are free and your freedom in Christ is what will deliver you from all evil. Divorce is evil and you must not collude with evil. Do not collude with any kind of evil because colluding is as good as participating in evil. Resist evil and it will flee from you.

GOD

Brilliant are His ways and thoughts. Incomprehensible His plans for they are beyond comprehension by our puny minds. God is beyond comprehension because He is our Creator. We box Him in with our own thoughts of Him. We try to contain His power and His glory. God cannot be contained. He is too large to be contained. He is above all and yet in all. How do you comprehend that? He is in all because He created all things, good and evil. He will not be reduced to a thing. Images of God are a abomination to the Lord. Images are man made things to represent God to man. Man is limited by his image of God. God is image-less yet He says He made us in His image. Figure that out! When you grasp the immensity of God then you realize you are a but a speck of dust in His presence. This is what humility is all about. Be humble for God loves the humble of heart. God has chosen to make Himself known to the humble. Reach out to Him and let Him touch you and transform you.

PREPARE

Perhaps the Lord is coming soon. Are you ready for His coming? Perhaps He is not coming soon but has delayed His coming. Does this make any difference to your preparation? His coming or not coming is not the issue. The issue is whether you are ready to meet Him one day face to face. Death is the exit door to meeting Him. He comes today for many who will exit to the next life. Yes there is a life after death and this is why you need to be prepared for it. Those who are unconscious of death live in an illusion. They are only conscious of time and space. They do not live but exist. To be conscious is to be aware of every moment and to enjoy the present moment. This means you are connected to what is and not what has gone or what is to come. Living is a conscious and vibrant connection with all that is around you. Today prepare to meet your Maker.

FAMILIARITY

Familiarity breeds contempt. It is so easy to assume and neglect what is precious. Once you get used to something it loses its initial charm and curiosity. It is as if it has become part of the furniture. This is why people seek for new experiences. The old is stifling and comfortable. The new is bright and challenging. The world is full of challenges and it is easy to fall prey to the new thing on the block. The familiar has a sense of ordinariness to it. The new is different and so is exciting. However the new one day will become old. Beware of familiarity for it will kill you. Keep appreciating what you have and you will live a vibrant life. Gratitude is a good habit to cultivate. When you have nothing then everything is a bonus. Keep to the straight and narrow way and you will never lose your way.

WINNERS IN THE END

The Lord bless you and keep you. His face shine upon you and give you peace. The Lord is good and He always comes through in your time of need. He is your Supplier of all your needs. He offers you comfort when you are troubled and He gives you healing for your body. He is a friend at all times and in all places. The Lord is God and He cannot be limited to times and places. Man is limited but God is unlimited. When you tap into His wisdom and grace then you come into the realm of the impossible. In this realm anything is possible at anytime even the dead being raised alive. Hallelujah that you have entrance into this realm through the Holy Spirit. There are many deceiving spirits that seek to control you but your life is hid in Christ. Purpose now to remain in His presence and you and yours will be protected from the evil one. It is tempting to give up when things don't go as you plan but remember the Lord knows the end from the beginning. Keep the end in mind and you will never lose heart. The end is victorious and splendid and you are a winner.

GIVING

Giving is the only way of having a satisfying life. When you stop giving, you stop growing. The attitude of giving helps you more then the one who receives the gift. Giving is from the heart of God. God gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. The Cross is the ultimate symbol of giving. When you view the Cross you view a life of giving. The Cross applied to yourself will cancel out self and you will think of the other. The Cross is the only solution to a life of holiness. Without the Cross there is no way of escape from a sin filled life. Many do not appreciate this and think they can live without the Cross. If the Cross was a useless death then we are all condemned to death. It is because of the Cross that I have access to the Almighty. Nothing can replace the Cross. Therefore let the Cross be always before you and the world behind you. In this way you will always be available to God to serve others.

HIS TIME

Taking one thing at a time helps you to focus on that one thing and not be distracted. Distraction is what causes you to shift your focus. You want to do too many things at one time. This is the ploy of the enemy. He will cause you to be impatient and not get things done. Enjoy each moment. Your life is hid for eternity and therefore there is no rush. You can wait for His time and not be rushed into your time. His time is forever. When you lock into His time then time becomes a non issue. Only death can put an end to your time. Therefore as long as you are alive enjoy each moment and don't be rushed to get things done. It is in the rush to get things done that causes stress and strain. Relax and be calm and take things as they come. Rejoice that you are alive and well. In this way you will not be impulsive but take things as they come. You have all the resources of heaven to tap from when you need it. You will access these resources most when you are down and out. Depend on God to supply your needs and you will never be in lack. His abundance flows to you from heaven. Why bother about things on earth when heaven has a abundant supply? Trust God and in His time He will make all things possible.

HIS WORD

Impregnated with the Word results in delivery of a kind that will nourish you and others. The word of God is the written thoughts of God that were sent forth to enable you to know Him and to follow Him. God never left man to wander in darkness. His Word is light and when man receives His Word by faith he becomes whole. His Word came as flesh and dwelt among men. His Word is the light of the world. His living Word is Jesus. When you read scripture as the spoken word of God then you will value His words more then life. Men have forsaken His words to their detriment. They have allowed their own fallen logic to control them. The word of God led nations to victory while the words of man fell to the ground. It is His Word that will help you to conquer and be victorious in these times of testing. Watch for His rhema word and live.

I AM A NEW CREATION

I am a new creation in Christ. Behold old things have passed away, all things have become new. What a powerful verse this is from the Bible. In Christ my spirit has been born again. Now I have His thoughts, feelings and character. Old things to do with my Adamic nature are dead and gone. I don't have to listen to those old voices and feelings. I am a new man in Christ. I now listen to His voice in me. I listen to what the new man is saying. In this way I am transformed through my renewed thinking. My thinking determines my new way of living. Therefore I will think His thoughts about me and others. I will not listen to those old voices that have to be drowned by His voice. As I die to the old me, I am free from its torment. The old me can only think of itself and no other. It is steeped in selfishness and self interest and self indulgence. In Christ I am outward focused and thinking of how I can serve others by meeting their need. Jesus came to serve and this is the attitude that you have in Christ. As I serve all my needs are met in Christ. This is the way out of a self serving life and a life renewed in Christ.

FASTING

When the Lord speaks He speaks so loudly that you cannot but hear and act. Listen to Him. You will hear Him clearly when you surrender all and seek only Him and no other. Fasting enables you to subject the body to submission. Fasting is a form of death to self. The flesh likes to indulge in the senses. The appetite is a strong indicator of where you are in your fleshly state. Indulgence is a a indicator of fleshly works. The flesh indulges to satisfy its ego. The ego likes to boast and to indulge in itself. When you fast you make a choice to die to the flesh. You hear clearly and therefore pray aright. Look for opportunities to die to the flesh. The things that attract you and entice you need to be killed. Anything of the ego must be killed off. You should have no attachments to things in this world. They will all disappear in a second. Your sights must be for things above and not below. In this way you will give the flesh no place to take control. All your fears and anxieties are related to your ego state. The ego wants to be in control but the spirit also desires to be in control. The fight is on and only when you surrender to the spirit will your ego let go.

DEATH IS A REALITY CHECK TO LIFE

The love of God is so large and big that nothing can contain it. His love is so real for the man who seeks Him and embraces Him to his heart. God loved the world is such a profound statement of faith. There is no love other then His love because His love gives sacrificially. God can change your personality to be like Jesus. This is a process but can happen suddenly. God can do anything. The chain of curse is broken when you submit to Him. Your submission to Him is the key to change. Many talk about surrender but only on their terms. Your surrender must be unconditional. We hold on to something only to realize that it really is of no value. What cannot keep you from death is an illusion. All that you see is an illusion because it could be wiped out in a second. So what are you holding on to but your fragile life. God came to give you eternal life. You are unconscious of death but that would interfere with your consciousness. When you become conscious of death then you come alive. It is a paradox but true. Jesus was conscious of His death on the Cross and He faced it. He knew this was His Father's will and there was no way out of it for the sake of the world He created. The devil demanded it and God bowed down to it. Yet in the end Christ was the victor over the grave. Today you are a victor because He lives in you. His life in you is your assurance of victory. Hallelujah.

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS

Hitting rock bottom is like death. There is no way out but up. When you hit rock bottom your ego is completely out of control.It has nothing else to fight for as it has lost control. No more control battles. It can't fight anymore because it has lost everything and in losing one comes to one's senses. Reality hits home. You are now no longer living in an illusion, a make believe state of your mind. All of us live in our minds. Our mind can conjure up anything we want. This is like building castles in the air. However these castles are not reality but a figment of your imagination. Reality is that you have nothing because everything you have can be taken away from you in a second by death. This is something we do not want to face. Once we face it then we have hit rock bottom. The trials and temptations and persecutions we face are to help us face death. These challenges are just that and no more. Once you have come to the place of surrender then these challenges are a joy for you know that you will come out stronger, bolder and more loving and lovable. Embrace these challenges in the Lord. He is on your side and will never leave you or forsake you. How good it is to trust in the Lord. Jesus went away to be quiet and to receive strength for the day. You too must spend time apart to pray and fast. Fasting is like dying to fleshly desires that keep you from the Lord. Thank you Lord for your now word.

GOD IS IN CONTROL

God is in control and that's all you need to know. For a child of God His control is all that he needs to know. The devil appears to be in control but he is a deceiver of souls. He will plant doubt in hearts and cause them to fear. God is love and in Him there is no fear. Therefore fear God and walk in love. He who fears God has no fear of the devil. When fear assails you remember God is in control. This is the only way to overcome fear. In Him you have the power to overcome all things. In Him you are a victor. In the Spirit you can do all things. The ego is the only thing that keeps you bound and helpless to change. Once the ego is dead there is no barriers to your salvation. The ego must die or be put to death by identification with His death. In this way you are free from its chains and set free to be what God has called you to be. Hallelujah.

GOD'S PROTECTION GUARANTEED

Mighty is our God to save and to keep. God not only saves but keeps. You can trust Him with your soul. He is your protector and will hold you and keep you for eternity. This is not an illusion. This is the real thing. When you are saved you are saved for eternity not just for your time on earth. You are saved from the clutches of the evil one. The whole world is controlled by the evil one. Only those who are saved are protected from the evil one. Therefore the need for salvation is urgent for protection from the evil one. You must fast and pray and seek His face daily till all your near and dear ones are saved. Those outside the fold need Him. There is no way out of sin then through Jesus. His sacrificial death is the only way out. Facsimiles will not do. You need the original. Come to Jesus and be saved. Today is your day of salvation. Accept Him now.

GOD IS IN CONTROL

Prepare for the day of reckoning is soon coming. The Lord is in the wind and the rain. He controls everything. Man may manufacture weapons of mass destruction but the Lord is in control of it all. He can change things in an instant. The mind of man is controlled by God. He knows when the right time for intervention is. He appoints leaders and they are His agents for change or destruction. Man is foolish to think he controls his destiny. Death is the final master. No man can stand against death. How foolish man is to think that he can control his destiny. God will put thoughts into your mind which will enable you to walk in victory at all times. What appears to be a setback is a strategy for success. Hallelujah your God reigns.

GOD'S ADDRESS

How good it is to be in the Lord. His Holy Spirit is with you and in you. He will comfort you and direct your thoughts. Cancel all those negative and toxic thoughts of the ego and the devil. The ego will always want conflict because the ego is defined through conflict. Peace is a foreign word for the ego. The devil has come to steal, kill and destroy. The ego in cooperation with the devil is a toxic influence. It is only in the Spirit that you can be saved from the torture of the ego. The ego will kill itself when it cannot win. So intense is its craving for power, lust and glory. The man of God will not chase after those things that feed the ego's needs. Rather he will subject the ego to the Spirit. Be free from all attachments of the flesh for in this way you don't allow the ego to feed on these things. When you are free from these attachments than you are free to move freely. Anywhere is home because God is in you. His address is your address. How good is that?

NOT MY WILL BUT YOURS

Death to self is the only way to live a life of true freedom. The ego needs to be smashed into pieces for true release of the real self. The ego stained with sin can never replace the real self. The real self is hid in God. The real self is your spirit. In your spirit dwells the Holy Spirit. His Spirit works with your spirit to destroy your ego. This is what it means to take up your cross, crucify your flesh, reckon it as dead and to follow Jesus. In following Jesus you give up all rights and the only right you have is to follow Him. It is not the giving up of things or beating yourself but a surrender to Him in all ways. Not my will but your will was Jesus cry through out His earthly journey. This should be yours as well. Only then will you experience the fullness that is promised in the scriptures. As long as there is a bit of self there will be a partial filling only. You have to decide each day and this will transform your mind like to be like Jesus. In Him you are made whole, sanctified for His service. Without His Spirit working through you it will all be wasted work. His work inspires while your work retires.

LIVING IN THE MOMENT

Precious are the moments that open up new vistas of knowledge and experience when you are present in the moment. The moment is the most precious place to be when you walk in conscious presence. His presence in you enables you to be present and alive. Most people are on automatic pilot and their brains just operate in automatic mode. There is nothing new because it is all the old programs that are working in the present. When you live in His presence then new thoughts and ideas flow in and disrupt the old patterns. These old patterns are like old friends and provide a sense of false security. They are false because they are routine and nothing new. Being alive means to experience each moment as new. It is living life to the full. To hear the sound and see the sights in a new way is to be present. This means walking in the now and not in the past. How you live each day determines how you grow and mature. This is why it is good to die to self because self always wants to be in charge. Self is in charge by building its own program and sticking to it. It never changes because it is in a prison of its own making. It prefers to be in control even if it is in a prison. Death to self or the ego releases you from these repetitive thoughts and feelings and releases you into risky living.

WE ARE REFLECTIONS OF EACH OTHER

We are all reflections of the people we closely associate with. This may come across as a surprise but it is true. One sees this in close relationships like husband and wife. The wife reflects her husband and vice versa. We reject the parts that we see in others but fail to notice that we reject those parts of us that we see in others. A controlling wife will see her refection in her husband and reject him. The relationship becomes toxic when we try to control those reflections. God placed us together for a purpose and that is to refine us through each other. The moment we see that the other is a reflection of me then we stop blaming and start changing. When I change then my reflection changes. Just like a mirror that reflects my image so also wife/husband reflects me. This insight is what brings about change. You stop blaming the other and begin to work on changing yourself so that you reflect a different image. In this is the healing process not in changing the other but yourself. Your reflection should help you to know what needs to be changed. Therefore I am the change I need to see. I will see love when I am loving. I see patience when I am patient. I am the change I want to see. Help me Lord to be Christ so that I see your reflection in others.

OPEN TO GOD

Open to God and open to others is living life to the max. Closed to God and others is the sure way to decay and death. The soul is enriched through intercourse with others and God. Your mind is open to receive and in this process you are open to change and grow. Growth is a sign of vitality. Just as a well watered garden shows the vitality within so also a well watered soul is rich in vitality. It grows and nourishes others because it is nourished from within. Spending time alone with God is good nourishment for the soul. The soul thirsts after God because it is made for God. Nothing can fill this space but God. This is why all are created in God and seek for refreshment from Him. Many are not aware of this need but when it is revealed to them they become thirsty. You are called to direct others to their Creator. Many will reject this because of their blindness. Only the Holy Spirit can open their eyes. Once opened they are never the same. Walking in the Spirit is like walking in heaven, light and easy. Heavenly wings will propel you to other spheres which will enable you to attempt new things and overcome old fears.

PREPARE TO DIE TODAY

Prepare daily for the onslaught. This is wise and you will be prepared for battle at anytime. Just like a fireman is ready for the call so also you need to be ready when your call comes. This readiness will keep you alert. There is no time for resting in this life. The rest comes in the after life. The after life is for eternity. Therefore work as if it is the last day on earth and the first day in eternity. What an outlook for a believer who has set His heart for eternity. Death is just a door into eternity. There is no other way other then ascension which only a few experience. Most will have to enter through the door of death. This should keep you alert at all times because your last day maybe today.This is why life on earth is just a journey through earth on your way to heaven. You are born on earth but born again for heaven. Are you born again? If not today repent of your sin and accept Jesus as your Savior and live forever.

LIFE IS A ROLLER COASTER RIDE

Life is a roller coaster ride. You have to be prepared for this otherwise you will be left behind. In Christ you will have a faith that is prepared to take on every crisis and hindrance in your walk of life. The Holy Spirit in you will guide you as you listen to His voice in you. Just be in the spirit and you will find solace for your soul. Any other state will bring you confusion and distress. This is why living in the spirit is the only way to real life living. He has appointed you for a time like this to prove He is worthy. It is not escapism but a reality test of His faithfulness. Over and over again He has proven Himself to you. This is another test and you will have another testimony to share. God breaks the impasses and hindrances to help you breakthrough the deadlock situations. It may not be pleasant to the flesh but you do not operate in the flesh but the spirit. In the spirit you can overcome all these things and you are more then a conqueror in Christ. Therefore rejoice and be glad and be bold.

SACRIFICIAL GIVING

Giving is a way of life. Christ gave His own life as a living sacrifice. He died a death that was fit for criminals. An innocent man dying for sinners is the utmost act of giving. Giving that costs much is a sacrifice. Giving that costs you nothing is not a sacrifice. God is calling His people to give sacrificially. This is what pleases His heart. This kind of giving unlocks the treasures in heaven that will release abundance on earth. The key to abundance is in sacrificial giving. Therefore be delighted when you are called to give for then you can expect abundance. God knows and sees your heart and that is what matters. He does not judge by externals. His love flows freely but only those who tap into it will enjoy it. Come to the river and be filled. His riches money cannot buy. See how one thought from Him can change your perception. Poverty thinking will see giving as a loss. Abundance thinking will see giving as an opportunity. Give therefore, as you have freely received, freely give. This is the way to be cut free from earthly attachments.

TAKE OFF YOUR OLD CLOTHES

Take off your old clothes and put on your new clothes in Christ. This new you is who you want to walk out in your daily life. This new you has thoughts and feelings and is the Holy Spirit manifesting Himself through you. It only takes putting off your old clothes to achieve this. When you take of your old clothes you are taking off all the hurts and resentments associated with your old you. In Christ you are a new creation. Now walk in this knowledge. When you walk in your new clothes you will act like one. However it is not you but the Holy Spirit that works and walks through you. Do not be limited by your old attitudes of nothing can change. You are limiting the Holy Spirit's work in you when you say that. Accept who you are but be prepared to accept that change is possible. Fighting against your old nature only makes it stronger. When you put off your old nature or reckon it dead then your new nature can manifest through you.

ACCEPTANCE

Acceptance is the position of surrender to what is. What is, is the state of being you are in. Your mind may take you to other places and things but what is, is the present. In the present you learn to accept what is. In this acceptance is the freedom to be and not a image of it. When you allow your thoughts to rule then you are not walking in acceptance. I am here and now and that is all there is. It is not the future or the past but the present. You breathe now. You are alive now. Now is the only state you know. Everything else is a figment of your imagination. You have no control over what will be. You think you can control your life through your thoughts and actions. However don't be surprised that they don't work out as you planned. When you come to the place of acceptance then you are free to enjoy the present moment. You can dig deep into your spiritual state and live. The deeper you enter in to spirit life the more you are living in the now. Your thoughts are ego limited. Your spirit is not limited to time and space. Acceptance enables you to transcend time and space. Your whole being begins to respond to the state of acceptance and you come alive in the present.Hallelujah.

HOPE

Prepare for the worst. The worst is not the end for where there is life there is hope. Only a dead man has no hope. Hope is the living ingredient that propels your faith to new heights. There is no greater power then hope to change your circumstance. Hope will boost your faith and love will claim the prize. This is why love,faith and hope are the vital ingredients for your life. With these three you can overcome in all situations. The knowledge that He resides in you must fill you with hope. He is your hope of glory. Christ in you is your hope of glory. There is no other greater hope. This is why when you tap into His resources you connect with heaven and earth changes. This is to build the kingdom of heaven on earth. Earth is the footstool of the Lord. Just as you are receiving a download so also earth is blessed when you connect with heaven. Your destiny is sealed and whatever happens now is in His royal design. Rest in this and be bold. Nothing will happen to you that has not already been allowed by heaven. In this is your confidence that He who has begun this work in you will complete it.

LISTEN TO HIS VOICE

In times like these you need a Savior to save you from yourself. When you go through the valley everything appears dark and gloomy. Yet when you know that He is with you then you know deeply how He will help you. He is with you and in you and you can call on Him at anytime, day or night. He will speak through your thoughts. You will know His voice because you now are tuned into Him. In the valley is the time when you can hear Him clearly. On the mountain top you are so full of yourself that it is hard to hear Him. When you hear Him you will receive the comfort you need for the time you are in. When the disciples were imprisoned for their faith they looked to Him for comfort and hope. He is beyond the natural and intervened by opening the prison doors. He is your Protector. Remember when you are down the only way out, is up. Therefore keep looking up when you are down. Your salvation is near. Never give up hope for He is your hope. You will say then, that nothing can separate you from the love of God. This is how you grow in strength in God. Therefore do not despair but be bold and strong and the Redeemer of your soul will come to help you. Listen only to Him and to no other voices. The voices of fear and despair will go when you listen to Him. Come now and rejoice for the miracle that is just around the corner and will be revealed to you. You are a winner in God. Rejoice and again I say rejoice.

HIS LOVE

Separation is like death. Families that go through separation get the experience of what it feels like to experience loss. This loss is deep and hurtful. Separation of parents affects the children deeply. They face loss early in life and so are very sensitive to any kind of perceived rejection. Only love can heal the rejection. The kind of love that is required is unconditional and selfless. This is the agape love that Christ came to reveal through His death. He died an innocent death that you and I maybe saved. There is no other love that is higher and deeper then His love. His love is eternal and has eternal power to heal and to save. His love is so deep that it can reach the unreachable facets of your mind. His love heals and restores broken relationships and brings a wholeness that no human love can provide. His love is the only hope for mankind, hurt and rejected and abandoned. Let His love fill you and bring deep healing to your hurts and His love is able to raise even the dead. His resurrection life now is at work in you to help you to overcome all rejection and pain and set you free.

TAKE UP YOUR CROSS

Being Christ is a tall order but possible only in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is given to us so that we can be Christ to others. Without Him it is impossible to walk the way of the Cross. Jesus knew this and this is why He came and died for sin that I maybe delivered fro it. Now He has risen and ascended into heaven so that He could send His Spirit to dwell in me and live His life through me. This is a high calling but possible. I am nothing so that He can be everything. He will fill you and possess you when you surrender all to Him. There is no easy way. The way of the Cross is death to self. Death to self is death to your ego. Death to your ego is salvation from self to receive the fullness of His Spirit. This is why Jesus said, Take up your Cross and follow me. Your Cross is death to your ego. Wow.

RESTING IN HIS ARMS

In His presence is there peace and everlasting joy. There is perfect rest. The ego is dead and you are resting in His arms. His arms are so strong that there is no fear in Him. You have let go of yourself for you now have let God be God. This is the rest that God talks about. Your mind and spirit are at rest in Him. There is a perfect union between you and God and in Him you are at peace. What a fellowship, what a union in Him. Father I lay myself before you and let you be my Father. I trust you and I can trust no other, for you lay down your life for me. What a place to be and to be in this place is to be in heaven. In heaven there is no striving only rest. Where there is peace there is no place for any of the egoistic battles. The ego thrives on battles. In the Spirit you are free from these carnal battles. You are not led by your senses but by your spirit. You live like a saint and not a sinner. All your burdens are lifted off and now you are free. Bless the Lord O my soul and all within me bless His holy Name.

LIVING SACRIFICE

It is your ego that you need to offer up as a living sacrifice to God. See yourself on the altar of sacrifice and see the fire burn up your ego. Now your spirit is free from the selfish inclination of the ego. The ego is self centric while the spirit is Christocentric. In Christ you have been crucified. You now live by faith in Him who loves you and gave Himself up for you. In Christ you are a new creature who has the same spirit as Christ. Christ in you is your only hope of glory. Therefore meditate on Christ in you and do not be distracted by the slavish tendencies of your flesh. Your flesh is buried with Christ. Your spirit is raised with Christ. You are now seated in heavenly places with Christ. This is your calling and destiny. In Him you are one with the spirit. In the spirit you are free to be. Nothing can come against you and flourish. You are protected by the hand of the great I Am. Praise God that you are able to overcome in the spirit. In the flesh it is all doom and gloom but in the spirit it is all glorious.

DEATH TO THE EGO

Death to the ego is the only way to be free from its harassment. This is why Jesus said that if anyone wants to follow Him must take up his cross (die). Death to the ego is to die to all the selfish and self pleasing ways. Death to the ego is to be open to the needs of others and to be blind to the needs of self. Jesus always looked up and out, never in and down. To be a blessing you need to be the same. It is only the up and out will change the world and turn it upside down. The way of the world and self is in and down. Up and out is to embrace all as Christ did when He died for the whole world. The world rejects Him because the world is possessed with itself. How short sighted is the world that it cannot see beyond its self. This is the way of the world and the extreme of this ego state is narcissism. . Narcissism is a state of complete turning inwards that all you can see and admire is yourself. This state is a complete rejection of others and a preoccupation with self. Jesus was the opposite of narcissism when He left everything He had and came in the form of man to die for him. When you die to your ego, you die to your self. This releases you to be selfless and open to God to use you for His purpose. This is your eternal destiny and mission. Come Holy Spirit and burn this truth into me.

ALTER EGOS

WE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN ONE PERSON. THERE IS THE TIMID, SHY, AGGRESSIVE, JEALOUS, PROUD, FEARFUL, SCARED ONES IN US. DEPENDING ON WHICH EGO TYPE IS IN CONTROL SO ALSO ALL THE THOUGHTS AND ASSOCIATED FEELINGS. THESE EGO STATES KEEP CHANGING AND THIS IS WHY ONE SEES DIFFERENCES IN PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS. THIS IS NOT SURPRISING AS WE ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. WE CAN ADAPT TO THE SITUATION AT HAND. HOWEVER SOMETIMES A DEPRESSED STATE CAN BE PROLONGED AND THIS STATE THEN BECOMES IN CONTROL OF ALL OUR FUNCTIONS. THE DEPRESSED STATE DEPRESSES ALL OUR FUNCTIONS OF BODY AND MIND. IN EXTREME CASES THE EGO SPLITS OF ITS SEPARATE STATES FROM EACH OTHER AND ONE THEN DISPLAYS MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES. ONE PERSONALITY IS UNCONSCIOUS OF THE PRESENCE OF THE OTHERS. WHEN YOU ARE OPERATING IN ONE MODE THEN YOU WALK AND TALK LIKE AS IF THAT IS YOUR REAL PERSONALITY. THESE DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES COME INTO PLAY IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. IT IS LIKE ONE IS AN ACTOR AND PLAYS DIFFERENT ROLES. ONE ROLE IS UNAWARE OF THE OTHER ROLES. IN CHRIST YOU CAN DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM THESE EGO STATES AND BE CHRIST. THIS IS THE PROCESS OF SANCTIFICATION AS I RENOUNCE MY ALTER EGOS AND PUT ON CHRIST. THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO LIVES IN YOU WILL HELP YOU AS YOU DIE TO THE FLESH AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT.TO BE IN CHRIST IS TO BE WHOLE IN BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT.

WORD OF HIS POWER

Many are the thoughts and concerns that pervade your mind but it only takes one thought to eliminate them. This is how God's word operates. His now word comes in and deletes those rogue thoughts and sets your mind at rest. How wonderful to know that we are our thoughts. What we think determines how we walk. Therefore knowing your thoughts is to know you. This is why talking therapies are so powerful for they give an insight into the mind of a person. A person who is obsessed with thoughts of gloom and doom is bound to be fearful and depressed. The feelings are sparked off by the thoughts. These bad thoughts keep you stuck in your rut. The thoughts become part of your belief system. When God's word comes with assurance then those negative thoughts become eliminated. You can shift your thoughts and see the world differently. Control over your thoughts is the way to go. In Him your thoughts are in submission to His word. His word then determines your walk. Jesus spoke and the worlds were formed by the word of His power. His power is available to all. It is the word of His power that carries the power to perform the work. Now tap into His word and see power released for healing, health and wholeness.

EGO DRIVEN

Once you are able to separate your ego from your real self then you have come to the place of true freedom. Your true self is hid in Christ. This is your spiritual self. This self is connected with the eternal presence and is not confined to the conflicts of your ego. Your ego is sustained through conflicts. Your ego has no sense of self except through conflict. Conflict is what defines your ego. Without conflict the ego feels deserted and alone. Conflict keeps the wheel going round. Sometimes the conflict is so great that it feels like exploding. This conflict is fueled by emotions that have been around for ages. Because this conflict is subconscious you don't feel you have much control over it. It comes under your control when you become conscious of this conflict. Many when asked the question about their internal thoughts will say nothing. It is like a dream that you can't remember. Yet the dream is recurring and takes so much of your time and sometimes intrudes into your sleep and daily activities. This subconscious activity is what determines your day and how it goes. When you are able to separate or distance yourself from this activity then you are able to live in the realm of the supernatural. The supernatural realm is real and near but is often missed because you are so taken up with your ego. Your ego demands attention and it works in different ways to get it. Now is the time to separate yourself from your false self or ego and come nigh to your real self. This is to operate in consciousness and not be driven by the subconscious needs of the flesh.

FLESHLY BATTLES

Powerful thoughts come through to you when you walk in harmony with the Spirit. The Spirit will freely move through you as you surrender to His will. This is the normal walk for a fully surrendered person. A living sacrifice is one that willingly places his life on the altar. This altar is the only place where you will find rest for your soul. This is the battle that rages between the soul and the spirit. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak is true. The flesh is weak in terms of giving into the desires of the flesh rather then the desires of the spirit. When the flesh is laid on the altar then all those desires are burnt up. This is God's solution to the ego that is relentless in staying alive. It is the cause of all your internal struggles. In the Spirit the ego has no say for it has to bow to the spirit. It is so simple yet so difficult to the flesh. The flesh will fight any resistance to it. The devil will aid the flesh and fight the spirit. Only total surrender can bring relief. God allows situations and persons to trouble you till you give up the flesh and rest in the spirit. Resting in the spirit is the way to go and purchase your inheritance. In the Spirit you have peace and joy and this will help you to stay focused on the goal of your salvation.

SURRENDER TO THE SPIRIT

Total surrender is the only way to walk in the Spirit. The ego will demand its way but the Spirit's way is the best way. For this surrender to the Spirit is the only way to defeat the flesh. When you see the ego coming in then you need to become conscious and surrender to the Spirit. The ego works through automatic patterns which are subconscious. Most of us operate in the subconscious for this does not require much energy. These subconscious patterns are the default position of the ego. The ego thrives in conflict for this is what keeps it alive. When you see this happening just surrender to the Spirit in you and watch the ego dissolve. The ego does not like to be watched for it thrives in darkness. All its plans are developed in darkness. The light blinds the ego and it goes into the background. When you surrender to the Spirit then light comes in and the darkness recedes. This is why you need to walk in total surrender which is bad for the ego. In the Spirit you have freedom from all the cares of the world. In the Spirit you operate in the dimension of the eternal and not the earthly. You are heavenly minded with feet of clay. When your mind is set on the Spirit then your walk will be by the Spirit. So come today and surrender all to Him who is your Comforter.

NEW NATURE

The sinful flesh which the Bible calls the old nature will always be with you till you die. It is sinful and evil and you need to reckon it dead as you have a new nature in Christ. This fleshly nature will raise its head from time to time with its old feelings and thoughts. Recognize where they come from and kill them immediately. This is the only way to overcome the flesh. You can't change your old sin nature. It is steeped in sin and this is why you did not have much control over it. In Christ you can reckon it dead. Now you can be free from its harassment and be free to live in the Spirit. The spirit man in you lives in God. You abide in Him and He will direct your thoughts and feelings. The nature we inherited will be there but in the spirit you have a new nature. Now live from your new nature which is being renewed in Christ.As you walk daily in your new nature it becomes a habit. You no more look to your old nature as it is a cruel tormentor. It torments you with thoughts of lack and fear. Fear comes from the old nature which does not know the unconditional love of Christ. The new you, hid in Christ, knows His unconditional love and remains in His love. Remember He holds you and all you have to do is rest in His arms. What a salvation from the torment of the old nature which strives to be but fails miserably.Only in Christ can you be saved from the tormentor of your soul.

WALK BY THE SPIRIT

In the Spirit I have a new mind and it is through this new mind that I will see the world like God sees it. A person taken up with his own ego will only see through his lenses. He cannot be objective because his mind is closed to the views and perceptions of others and of the Spirit. A spirit filled person operates from another realm. This is why you need to be filled always and walk live in the Spirit and walk by the Spirit. This will keep you present and conscious of the moment rather then be lost in the past or the future. The past and the future you release to Him who is in control of both and live in the present moment. You can plan for the future but only God knows what is in the future. You can live in the fantasy of what may happen. Funny how when things happen they appear different to what you thought would happen. Yet we humans think that we know and never learn from experience. It is best to walk by faith for this is what strengthens your faith. Sight requires no faith. Faith walks sightless because it depends on God. This is what releases God's goodness and favor. When we walk in the light as He is in the light then the blood of Jesus cleanses us continuously from all sin. Sin keeps us from God. His light keeps us from sin. Hallelujah.

JESUS BLOOD SAVES

The blood of Jesus is the most powerful agent for cleansing of sin. His blood is living because He rose from the dead. He had to shed His blood because this is the only way for sin to be cleansed. Animal sacrifices could not do it. It had to be human and divine blood for cleansing on earth and in heaven. This dual cleansing enables God to be free from the influence of sin both in heaven and earth. This has restored the communion between God and man. What a wonderful way to be free from the power of sin. This is what will set the captive free as the blood is no respecter of persons. Everyone can avail of the cleansing who will claim its cleansing power by faith. Just believe and receive and be washed clean. There is nothing more that is required. Imagine your whole being, body,mind and spirit being cleansed in the blood. This is the simple message of the Cross. This is what drove missions into the darkest lands and brought deliverance to millions. It is still the only way of salvation.

MIND OF CHRIST

Have the mind of Christ. What it it to have the mind of Christ? This means to be filled in the Spirit of Jesus so that His thoughts and feelings emanate through you. His mind is the spirit mind. His Spirit will think through you. Why be encumbered with thoughts and feelings of your own ego when He lives in you and can think through you? It is foolishness to walk in the fleshly mind when you have the spirit of God in you. His mind is full of love, faith and humility. The ego is full of pride, selfishness and negativity. Why trade what is good for what is foul? The dying of the ego is your only hope of salvation. In Christ you are a new creation, you have been born again. Now it is your choice to live in the new man or default to the old man. The new man in Christ has the mind of Christ. As your ego dies so also your spirit man grows and possesses you more and more. It is like taking over the land that has been fallow and fruitless. Now be clothed with the mind of Christ and be made whole. Healing, knowledge and wisdom will flow through you as you walk in the fullness of the Spirit. Come Holy Spirit and fill me today.

IN CHRIST

To be separate is to be set apart in Christ. I have died with Christ and now I live in the power of my resurrected Lord. The moment I shift from this position in Christ then I begin to walk in the flesh or ego again. This is the struggle. In the flesh I get all kinds of old feelings and thoughts. In the Spirit I am whole and new and fresh and alive. The old patterns die hard for they are ingrained in my soul. The new must replace the old and this can happen suddenly or gradually. The suddenlies are rare when a person has a an experience like Paul on the road to Damascus. The speed at which I change is dependent on me. The more I die to self(ego), the more I grow in the spirit. Therefore I am in charge of my walk. I choose to be filled and to walk in the spirit today. I have the spirit mind in me and I have His thoughts and feelings and I do accordingly. This is the way to complete freedom from the flesh and freedom in the spirit. Praise Jesus.

FIX YOUR MIND ON JESUS

The ego is rattled in crisis. It goes into hyperactivity to try and quell the threat. It begins to look for fault in others then take responsibility for its actions. The ego always goes into self preservation. Jesus always looked outwardly to His Father in heaven when He faced the Cross. He prayed that this cup may pass but not His will but His Father's will be done. So also you must look to the Father in heaven and keep your mind on Him. Let His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In this way you will stay the course and not be distracted by your ego. Your ego will jump up and down for it is controlled by fear and not love. Love is of the spirit. His love will protect you and sustain you. In His love you will remain safe and secure and nothing without or within can dampen it. Therefore fix your mind on Jesus today and prevail.

COURAGE

Blessed is the Lord who gives me the courage to do what He has called me to do. He is my Father and my friend and in Him I am secure from the attacks of the devil. He is the One who saves me and keeps me sane. He loves me so and He wants the best for me. All my weaknesses I surrender to Him for He is my righteousness. In Him I will rejoice and be glad. He cleanses me and assures me of salvation from all evil. How good is He that He has called me to serve in His Kingdom. His Kingdom is light and life and in Him there is no darkness. He fills me with light. When fear comes in He comes in to drive fear out. His love sustains me. Many are the trials and temptations but the Lord is the keeper of my soul. Come holy Spirit and fill me till I am filled with only you. How good it is to live in the land of the righteous. He is my righteousness and Him I am glad.

HIS VOICE

In the Name of Jesus there is freedom from all things of the flesh. In His Name you can overcome all things. He will give you the strength and the power to do what you thought impossible to do. He is the Savior of the world. He is available to all. He calls all to come to Him but only a few hear His call. He is a personal Savior. He comes to save all who call on His Name. His Name is above all other names because He is the Creator of the whole Universe. He operates from above. Yet He is the still small voice that speaks to you when you are quiet. All the noise that bombards you shuts His voice out. You will hear Him when you listen to Him. His voice comes in the deep of the night to help you stay the course. Other voices will come to distract you but His voice always calls you home. Never give into these other voices that come to steal and destroy. Anything that is destructive is not of Him. He is the master at restoration and not destruction. Therefore listen to Him and be at peace.

DEFENSIVE POSITIONING

To be centred in Him is the only way to keep the ego at bay. The ego will have its own thoughts and feelings which will conflict with your spirit man. In theses times do not listen to your ego which is threatened but the spirit man who is hid in Christ. Christ is the only One who can keep you sane in conflict. In conflict it is the best time to die to the dictates of your ego. The ego will always think in terms of personal gain. It will never sacrifice itself for another. Death to the ego is the only way to win the spiritual warfare. In the Spirit you will have wisdom to know how to respond in difficult times. The facts of the matter are unimportant. It is what God wants that matters. God wants that all men be saved and freed from the clutches of the ego and the devil. Many suffer silently because they are in defense. They are in prisons of their own making. They have built such firm walls that no one can reach them. They feel safe in their own prison and they will die in it. Defenses are like walls and they keep you captive and keep the light from reaching you. True freedom is in Christ for He come in and breaks through the defenses and lets His light shine through. The captive is freed from his prison and now can walk in the light of peace and joy.

STORMS

The Lord is in the storm and the fire. When you go through the storm and fire it does not feel nice. However you are in Him who is in the storm with you. In Him you abide and He is your shelter. God allows you to go through the storm so that you can experience His peace that passes all understanding. It is His peace that enables you to walk and not faint. It is His strength that enables you to be strong when everything else is crumbling around you. It is His joy that keeps you confident and unperturbed because you know He is in control. You have gone through these storms for a purpose. The purpose is to enable you to trust Him more and be more like Him. Jesus slept through the storm because He was in His Father's presence and not in the storm. When you are able to hide in Him then no storm can overcome you. The storm will pass and you will be more stronger for it. Therefore welcome the storms and expect to grow from it and not fail. The greater the storms the stronger you will be to withstand the enemy and his tactics. I am hid in Christ for eternity.

SPIRIT MAN

How good to know that the spirit man is unperturbed during times of turmoil. He is fixed in his position and does not change like the ego does. When the ego is threatened it goes into defensive position. The spirit goes into offensive position and fights the battles in the spirit. The spirit man is at peace because its mind is stayed on Christ. It is Christ who holds him during strive. He is calm and collected because he knows who holds his hand. This is why it is so important to remain in the spirit and let the ego die a death that will enable the spirit to have full sway. In all our battles the ego will try and twist and turn and preserve itself. Christ's way is death to the ego so that the spirit can be free from its lusts and desires. How good it is to experience the peace in the spirit during times of turmoil. This is a work of God and through His Spirit He will overcome. You will be in a stronger place after every battle and you will know what it means to be more then a conqueror.

CRISIS

The devil is unhappy when you are devoted to his enemy, Jesus Christ. He will come as a roaring lion to frighten you and instill fear in you. He will give you all kinds of negative thoughts to scare you. However Jesus the Lion of judah is greater then him. He can make a loud noise like a lion but it is only noise. The Lion of Judah has your life in His hands. No one can touch you and your destiny is secure in Him. Many walked the lonely path of Christ and were comforted by His Spirit. The broad way leads to destruction therefore choose the narrow way and live. Jesus is beside you and will comfort you. Never fear for He works through His Spirit. Just as He has done so in the past He will do again. Look at each crisis as a turning point to victory. A stalemate is a staus quo position and no one moves. A crisis on the other hand disrupts the status quo and movement occurs. Therefore rejoice that the Lord is at work and pray for protection from the enemy who works in darkness and in him is no light.

IT ONLY TAKES A THOUGHT TO CHANGE YOUR DESTINY

The power of a thought is incomprehensible. Thoughts are like atom bombs. It explodes into your psyche and causes you to change. This is why Jesus spoke the word and the word, which is a spoken thought, went out and performed its work. Imagine the power for change when you speak forth God's word with faith. The word of His power will release the power through your spoken word. Now imagine how important it is to choose your words. They have the potential to curse or to bless. Repent of all the words that you have spoken that were sent to destroy. Now ask the Holy Spirit to cleanse your tongue so that only words that bless will come forth. Jesus chose what He spoke because His words gave life. They still do to anyone who hears and believes. Come Holy Spirit cleanse my thoughts and words that they may be acceptable in your sight. Bind all the thoughts that will hinder you and the progress of the gospel. Release the words of life that will bear fruit to eternity.

INTERNAL CLIMATE

The internal climate of your soul will affect the external climate of your home. The warmer the climate in your soul the warmer it will be outside. Each of us will determine what sort of climate we will create. A loving climate is indication of loving souls. To create a loving atmosphere in your home, church, work place means that you must first produce love. You can only produce love if you are filled with love. A loving person exudes love. Love is acceptance and not rejection of the other. A loving home accepts each one as an individual. It is not a mass but a group of individuals. A mass is a mess. It appears loving but there is no separation from each other. A mass is a group with poor boundaries. It intrudes into each others space and does not allow for personal growth. God has created us as individuals for a purpose. We are unique individuals with a purpose that only each can fulfill. Be filled in the Holy Spirit and be filled in His love. This is what will produce the fruit of love that will affect others.

JESUS

Call on the Name of Jesus and He will come to your aid. His Name is the most powerful Name in heaven and on earth. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He is the everlasting Savior of the world. The world needs Him more then ever. He needs to be proclaimed to all. The church's main mission should be to proclaim Him and not be distracted by side issues. When a church majors on its mission of salvation for all then it has caught the Master's heart and mission. A church that fails to proclaim the saving Name of Jesus to the world has lost its vision and mission. Jesus is all we have and know. He is the only solution for peace and without Him peace is a fantasy. The only sure foundation we have is Jesus. Let us be urgent in our need to proclaim His Name to all.

LUSTS OF THE FLESH

The lusts of the flesh are so subtle that sometimes it is only in times of isolation does it comes to obsess you. There is only one way to handle them and that is through the Cross. The lusts are so powerful that they can attack you and overwhelm you when you least expect them. Be watchful for your enemy works through your flesh to overcome you. This is the spiritual warfare you need to win. When the flesh is strong the spirit will grow stronger, not weaker. The spirit is up to every challenge. The flesh is weak and can easily be tempted to sin. This is why you need to acknowledge the life giving power of the spirit to overcome every weakness. For every weakness there is a solution in the spirit. God gave His Spirit to you so that you can overcome fleshly weakness. Now you can step up to the platform and fight the enemy of your soul and defeat him. His blood continuously cleanses you even when you are not aware of it. Awareness brings strength. Unconsciousness leads to weakness. Most patterns are unconscious and therefore driven by a power that springs from the depths of your soul. These unconscious patterns have been laid down from early childhood. These are the hidden drives that make people do silly things and then they are surprised when they are caught with their pants down. Praise God He makes us aware of our weakness that we may overcome through His Spirit.

FAITH ADVENTURE

Faithful is our God who prepares me for every situation and gives me the words and the ability to do what I have to do. Living by faith is an adventure because anything can happen. You are prepared for anything and surprises are welcome. You are prepared to change to accommodate to the situation at hand. You are not stuck in a rut of routine and programes. You are free to be who you are called to be. You can do anything because you believe you are able to do anything in God's strength. He will provide the wisdom and the unction to do what to you may appear impossible. God will lift your sights higher to operate in the impossible realm. You will stretch yourself higher and wider to reach for the utmost. This is what the faith adventure is all about. You are never bored but excited at each new day and what it has to offer. You are prepared because He knows the end from the beginning. Thank you Lord for saving me.

PREPARE

Prepare and be prepared for the coming days are days of testing. Be much in prayer and be much in waiting for the Lord. Doing your own thing feels good but haste always results in mistakes. Be calm and ready and wait for the unction of the spirit. Move when it is time to do so and never doubt. Always trust in the Lord and He will come through for you. The Word of Knowledge is so powerful because it comes suddenly and lifts you up from your rut. This is the way the Lord works. He is forever near and He is so close to you. He will intervene in times of need when you have exhausted your resources. He is the God of plenty and in Him there is no lack. See how good He is, for He gives you all you need to live an abundant life. Enjoy each moment as if it is the last moment of your life. Praise Jesus.

GOD IS GOOD

Wow what a great God we serve. He has appointed a time and a place for all things. He has planned everything and everything will happen according to his plan. No devil can stop Him. Yes God is doing everything and man is just a pawn in the order of things. Man thinks he is in control but the evidence is otherwise. Man has no control over the weather , tsunamis and such. He can contain things but some things are not containable. Things happen and man responds to those things. Death is not in man's control. God is in control of life and death. In God you are safe and secure because you are in Him. Without Him life is but a dead road to no where. Man without God is a dead end. Man with God is an eternal journey of love and life. Thank you God for who you are and for giving me life. Enjoy life to the full with God knowing He knows the end from the beginning. Because He knows this you can be confident that the end will be good. For a christian the end is eternal life which never ends.

DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES WITHIN YOU

In each of us are different persons that dwell within. Each has a personality and out of each emanate thoughts, feelings and behaviors. The predominant personality usually operates and dictates how you will conduct yourself. In crisis especially it is the main personality that operates and controls your behavior. Many are able to show forth their good selves in controlled settings. Away from those settings the more dominant parts of you operate. The degree to which you can hide your real self is dependent on how sophisticated you are in hiding. People play different roles and these roles demand certain behaviors. Some are easy to play because they are congruent with who you are. Others are more difficult. It may be easy to be a boss but not a husband. Being aware of the different personalities within you will enable you to shift and not be pulled down by the negative personalities within you. In Jesus all these personalities are under His control. You can shift easily to Him when you call out His Name. You have been saved from yourself through Him. He comes and takes residence in your heart. When you give in to any of these other personalities within you then they will take over. The depressive takes over when you feel depressed. The worrier takes over when you are worried. The tormenter takes over when you feel persecuted and so on. Surrender to Jesus and He will take over and subdue your other personalities. When the Holy Spirit possesses you then He will be in charge all the time. Any shift will be quickly subdued by Him. The only safe place to be is in Him who abides in you. Abide in Him and He will abide in you.

VICTORY IN JESUS

Perfect are His plans for you. Everything He has planned will come to pass. He will direct your steps. You may feel at times that this cannot be so but God is in control. Everything and everyone put in your path will have a purpose in His plan. Nothing is wasted. Everything will be enveloped in love. All the negativity will be enveloped in love. There is nothing outside His world of love. All are included in His great plan. He is God and He controls and envelopes everything. He created the worlds and all that is in it. He gives breathe to produce life. It is His breathe that sustains life. The devil has been subdued. He has only entrance in places where he is given permission. Man has authority on earth, not the devil. He will try and induce fear in you and make you think that he is in control. He lost control at Calvary. This was the turning point in history. Now he is history and Jesus is victory. His Spirit in you will enable you to do anything He has called you to do. His is the victory and the devil is a liar.

JESUS, THE ONLY WAY

Only Jesus saves. No other person saves. This is what the world needs to hear. There is salvation in no other but Jesus. He came as a message from God and now lives to claim His own. His Spirit is roaming the earth and saving all who are called. Pray and seek Him and He will guide you to the souls that need to be saved. He is the Savior of the world and and He saves for eternity. Salvation from self can be an earthly thing but salvation in Jesus is eternal. Many are the ways you can be delivered but true deliverance comes only from the One who has conquered sin and death. Sin causes death. Jesus causes life. Therefore choose Jesus and you have chosen life. God is working through you and will bring to pass His will. Call on Him day and night and never lose sight of the goal. The goal is to be with Jesus in heaven. Paul said he rather be in heaven but there is much work to do here. Therefore work as if it is the last day on earth and be Jesus to all.

NEW MAN IN CHRIST

Ask and you shall receive. A child asks believing he will receive an answer. God works in the same way. Ask and you shall receive. Ask Jesus who is your big brother. He came to be the representative of God. He will represent your requests to God. You are now His representative on earth. When you pray for others you are acting like Jesus. You have direct access to God through Jesus. Now you can ask for anything and it will be done for you. Total surrender results in total acceptance. You can ask for anything because you belong to Him. Nothing is impossible to Him because He is God. If Jesus was raised from the dead then that is a mark of what is possible. In your new body anything is possible. You are in Him and therefore all things are new. You now can operate in your new man. Reckon your old man as dead. Now you live an eternal life not limited by your old life condemned to death. Resurrection power flows through you. All you see is just a perception. It changes as you change your thinking. Life and death are in your hands. What you curse will be cursed and what you bless will be blessed. The old has passed away, behold the new has come.

TRUST

Cry out to god for mercy in this fallen world. God will answer in the wind and the storm. He is waiting for a people who will trust Him completely. Abraham trusted God. Joshua trusted God. Daniel trusted God. Trust is the basic ingredient of faith. Without trust faith is a farce. In all relationships trust is essential. Superficial trust ignores the bad times. Trust is essential especially during the bad times. Never take your eyes off Jesus. Just call on His Name and He will come through for you. He will fight for you and strengthen you. Once trust is established then mountains will move. The sure way to measure your faith is to measure your trust. Who do you look to for your salvation? Who do you trust to help you through hard times? These are the questions you have to ask. If your answer is anything other then Jesus then you have to come to the Cross and repent and be saved. A superficial trust will get you no where. You have to trust completely to receive His goodness. No trust, no gain.

LISTEN FOR HIS VOICE

Man is bereft when God leaves and the devil comes in. It is only God's presence that keeps the devil at bay. God is for His people. The devil is against His people. The devil has been sent to keep the saints on alert. Without an adversary the saints will relax and let their guard down. Therefore be watchful for he is out to try and out smart you. In Christ you can rest for in Him He has conquered the evil one. The devil will try and confuse you and make you believe that you are a lost case but never listen to his negativity. Everything negative is from him. He is a liar and a robber and a destroyer of souls. Pray much for in this way you will keep yourself free from the intrusion of other voices. God will then come clearly to you. God will keep you strong when you live each day in the power of His love. His love can overcome anything. Pray for the power of His love to drive you today. This is the only power then can overcome the world and subdue the devil. Run to Him for safety and you will feel His arms enfold you. Never stop walking by faith for it is only by faith that you will be able to overcome your enemy. Many voices will confuse but His voice will direct you. Therefore don't move till you hear His voice.

HIS WAY

God's ways are not man's ways. God works through His Spirit. Man works through his intelligence. Man's ways are limited by his vision of how things have to be done. He can't see beyond the present. The present climate determines his vision. God sees the end from the beginning. He knows all that is in the way and so knows how to work through those hindrances. Man is subject to what happens outside and there is no smooth path. What works today may not work tomorrow. Therefore there is a risk in each venture. Listening to God to find His way is the sure way to move forward. Following after every whim and fancy is not the way. Waiting on God to hear Him and follow Him is the way to go. Therefore wait on the Lord and live in His presence daily and He will direct your paths. God will work out in you what you have to do and where you have to go. He will send His angels to help you. In this way you can be sure that He is guiding you. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

POWER WITH GOD

The Lord is good and He will come to you when you least expect Him. Never be guided by your feelings for they change like the weather. In Him you are safe and secure and nothing within or without can change this. He is there and He will speak to you and comfort you. What or who can replace Him? Nothing or no one can replace Him. He is always with you even when the storm clouds come. He just wants you to be His witness. He will reveal to you His plans in due time. In the meanwhile just learn to rest and enjoy the journey. Don't confuse your goals with His goals. Your goals sometimes are ego led and not God led. Ego led goals serve to promote you and your agenda. Think about this: what can you do that He has not done already? He has done everything that needs to be done for your salvation. Now all you need to do is to be a witness of His great work. To be a witness is to be His hands and feet where He has placed you. This does not take brilliance because He has equipped you with all you need to be His witness. Share His work in your life and see Him come through each time you do so. Trust in His supernatural power and you will be able to do anything. It is relationship with Him that will result in power with Him to do exploits for Him.

CHANGE IS GOOD

Communion with the Father is the only way to maintain a close walk with Him. He is always there but your thoughts wander to other spheres. God is good and He will always come through for you. You expect a revival and you will have one because you asked your Father for it. Prepare for a revival. Remember there is a responsibility to not only usher in a revival but to maintain it. A revival will bring change and this change may not be comfortable. Any change will cause a disruption to your thoughts and feelings. Embrace these changes for they will keep you alive. The dead boredom of routine is what kills people. Change is good because it will keep you alert and embrace change like a good thing. When you are positive about change then the change becomes a friend and not a foe. Your life is hid in Him and therefore He is in the change with you. He will change you to be like Him. If you refuse to change then you will remain stagnant and go stale. Watch out for this for this is bad. Stale water never produces life that is fresh and vital. Fresh water energizes and refreshes. Therefore seek to be fresh each day as you feed on His fresh manna daily.

PURPOSE

Purpose is what generates energy for moving forward by faith. No purpose results in lack of enthusiasm for the cause. A purpose is a goal to aim for. Your goal of a million souls is a goal. Now the energy for the goal comes from heaven. Christ Himself in you will manifest Himself through you so many may come into His Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is within you and needs to be seen through you to be seen around you. God manifests His Kingdom through His people. When His people love each other then the Kingdom of God is manifested on earth as it is in heaven. His Kingdom is not made with hands but it is a spiritual Kingdom breathed through His spirit. His Spirit moves freely wherever He pleases. When you expect a move of God then He will come and move in your midst. By faith you can imagine and expect anything. Your Kingdom come, your will be done. This is your prayer till you see His Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.

YOUR REDEEMER LIVES

Perfect is the love of the Father. He is above all and He loves His children. You can do anything that God asks you to do because His power will back your resolve. He will back His children 100% and there is no dithering with Him. He is all for you and therefore you can depend on Him all the time. He is for you and will be with you no matter what. Jesus knew His Father had sent Him and would be with Him all the way. You also know that God is with you. Do not let your thoughts and doubts dissuade you. Cling to His eternal word and you will be safe. The only way to reverse the power of your thoughts is to cling to His written word. This never changes. When the devil attacks you, proclaim His living word. His blood will cover you and His blood will wash your conscience clean from dead works. He will give you new thoughts to counter act the old thoughts. In this way you become renewed in your mind. Therefore be glad that your Redeemer lives.

CHALLENGES

Many are the trials and tribulations you will have to face but the Lord is with you all the time. He will never leave you or forsake you. He is always there with you and will sustain you. Only keep your eyes on Jesus. Each challenge is an invitation for you to trust Him to work through you. No challenge, no growth. There is a purpose for the challenges. You can view them as negative experiences or challenges. The challenge is to enter the fray and come out victorious. Do not be overcome with a defeatist mentality. There is no failure in Christ. When you walk in the spirit then all you do is walk with Him. If the Cross was a failure then it is only so in the eyes of those who do not believe in the resurrection. The Cross is the only way to experience the resurrection. No Cross, no resurrection. There is life in negative experiences. It is the key to overcoming. Therefore look for the resurrection experience when you go through the challenge. Never say die till you die. All the experiences you have had have molded you to the person you are today.Therefore commit all your ways to Him and He will make straight the paths. Change your thinking and it will change your outcome.

DELIVERANCE FROM THE TORMENT OF YOUR EGO

Keeping your focus on Jesus enables you to separate yourself from the thoughts and feelings of others. You will allow Jesus to fill you with His thoughts and not be influenced by the thoughts of others. When you catch yourself thinking what others are thinking then you know it is you thinking what you think they are thinking. Own these as your thoughts and you will change your perception of others. You will not judge others so easily when you realize it is your thoughts that you think of them and not their thoughts. This is to be more real then think for others. You think for others to put yourself up or down. When you think highly of others then you will put yourself down. When you think lowly of others then you put yourself up. All these are ego thoughts that play the role of the victim or the victor. The ego needs conflict to be real. Where there is no conflict there is fear and trepidation. Conflict enables the ego to feel real and it is in the process of the conflict that you become known for who you really are. All your emotions are stirred up and you become your false self of your deep fears and desires. This gives you reason to save yourself from the torment of your oppressors. These oppressors are not external to you but internal. Your projections of your oppressors make them external entities. This is why when you own your feelings then you will be less likely to project and displace your feelings on to others. This realization enables you to be free from your oppressors and become real with others. You free others to be themselves when you are open about your fallen feelings. This is the path to true enlightenment. It is this process that leads to your salvation from all the cravings of your flesh.

FATHER GOD

Father God I love you because you are my father. What a powerful name that contains the essence of one's being. There is no other name that can rePlace the name of father. It is the source of all life. It spells creator, for from father flows the son and daughter. Without the father there is no creation. When I connect with my Father I connect with all creation for all creation comes from the word of His mouth. All are from Him and are under His control. No one listens to anyone but the Father. Even the mother is subject to the father. The son obeys the father because he is his father. Connect with the father through the son which is what Jesus came to do. Man lost connection with the father through sin and therefore father had to sacrifice His son to reconnect with us. His sacrifice is the only channel through whom I can connect with Him. The Father sees the son in me and connects with me. It is His son that He sees and responds to. Because I have Jesus in my heart, therefore His Spirit in me cries Abba Father. Now I am free to commune with my Father in heaven because of His Son. Hallelujah. I can now know His thoughts and respond to Him.

THE CAUSE

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord and not in his own wealth. The Lord is wealthy and He is generous. He gives freely because all things belong to Him. A man who trusts in the Lord will give freely and not hold back. God is good and He will answer your prayer because He loves to give. You are entering a season of revival. Prepare for the Lord's return for it is very soon. Put all your energy into this and you will find that people will flock to you. When people believe your message then they will give for the Kingdom sake. People will give to a cause they believe in. When they have tasted the Lord then nothing else matters. He is going to move mightily amongst you. Watch and pray and expect the best and the best will come to you. Ignore the small irritations and be fixed on the big plan. God will provide the resources for His cause. All He wants is willing people to fight for His cause.

ALL IS RIGHT IN HIM

God is good and He answers your prayers in His time. His timing is the best for He knows when it is right. All you need to do is pray and wait. It is His cause you are fighting for. He will reveal His purpose in His time. Your time is now but God's time is eternity. This is why you need to live in the now but have an eternal perspective. In this way you can live fully now with an eternal perspective. God loves a man who can trust in Him fully. No doubts, just trust. This is the way to move forward in faith. He allows you to experience Him in different ways. He will provide you with the wisdom to know and to do. He will direct your paths and in Him all things work together for good. The good and the bad experiences will be brought together in Him. In this way He is in control of all things. He created the world with all things. Sin entered and messed up things but He is still in control. Therefore be true to what you believe. There is no right or wrong in Him for He is all right. Therefore in Him when you walk in the Spirit all is right. You have peace of mind and your heart is in all that you do. This is the way to live and be fruitful. No more agitating about what could be. All is as is because He is.Now go and multiply and be fruitful.

PURPOSE

Purpose is what drives achievement. A man with a purpose enables all his faculties to function in unison to achieve the goal. A soul totally surrendered to God and His purpose has no worries about tomorrow. He has given up all personal ambitions and is fixed on serving His purpose. Such a person is not taken up with his ego needs but is taken up with what God desires and wants. This is to be invested in fulfilling the purpose of another. In such a case the Lord is the driver and I am the passenger. I just appear to be in the driver's seat when actually He is driving it. I am just a vessel in His hands to do His bidding. I just take each day as it comes and accept the outcome of each day. I know that He is working out all things and wait for surprises. I let go and let Him do the making. I am content to sit and wait. I will not be driven to distraction. I will remain focused on my goal as He works it out. How good to be in that place of total rest in Him. He determines my days and I am satisfied with my lot. I will rejoice each day in His goodness. I will rejoice and be glad. He is my Father and He loves me so. Great is His faithfulness.

I AM ADDICTED TO JESUS

I am addicted to Jesus. Jesus is all I have. He is mine and I am His. Now all I want is in Him. I want to be like Him. I want to think and feel like Him. I want to be possessed by His Spirit. His Spirit within me is my salvation. He is the guarantee that I am His and my salvation is secure in Him. He gives me all I need to live for the moment. In Him I am energised and filled with hope. He fills my being with love and hope. Hope keeps me alive. This is not a dead hope but a living hope. Jesus means hope for He is the hope of the world. The world is doomed to annihilation because the god of this world is condemned to hell fire. Men are trapped in his snares. The world entraps you by gold and glitter and girls. Yet God will redeem you from these things and bring you to a place of complete detachment from these things. Once you are detached from these things, then these things have no more influence over you. You are like a dead man who fails to respond to these things. Thank you Lord for your salvation that keeps me free from attachment to these things. You have to forsake all these things to inherit the Kingdom of God.

WALK BY THE SPIRIT

3/9/11 Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. He is the Lord of all and therefore He knows everyone's heart. He calls all into His kingdom but only a few will hear. The god of this world has blinded many to the way. They follow other ways because they are enticed by the god of this world. The god of this world always entices through the external lights and pleasures. Man falls for this so easily through his eye gate. This gate is the gate that entices all to fall. The media is the main channel through which the world influences us. Watch the eye gate and do not fall for the superficial ways of man. Pride entices by feeding the ego which looks for power and popularity. Pride always gets in the way of dependence on God. Man was created in the image of God and therefore has the desire for power. But this power has been turned inwards and serves self rather then others. God's power is available for service and not to serve your self interests. Whenever you are involved in serving others then you know you are working for God. Many serve but again they do it with self interest. It may all look good but where there is pride the ego is fed and not the other. Agape love serves without any self interest and serves the other without conditions. This is the kind of love that will go the distance and bless the people. Be filled in the Spirit and walk by the Spirit and you will fulfill all God's commands in the flesh.
