GOD'S VISION

Your mind is the vehicle through which God speaks to you. Therefore clear your mind and make space for him. As you wait in silence He will sow His thoughts into you. These are thoughts which you know are from another source as they switch a light bulb in you. This is the way you know that it is God. Watch for those spontaneous thoughts. Then write them down so that you can then test them against scripture and other ways of testing it including looking for evidence of it in manifestation. When you have asked look for signs to conform as Gideon did with his wool. God loves this for you are putting your faith into action. If it is of God then He will confirm His word with signs. If it is not then it will just fade away. Let your vision take form. This means that there will be evidence for these in responses from others as well as in your inner conviction of the same. It will so possess you that nothing else will matter. God’s vision always possesses because it is a calling from God. This calling is backed by His power. You need power to exercise vision. It becomes your mission and then the dream is realised. There is a process that takes place but as long as you know it is from God then you know that He is with you all the way. In this world you will face opposition to God’s dream. This is good for then your dream will make you strong and able to stand the course. Always keep the vision in front of you and you will never lose sight of it.

MIND POLLUTION

The pollution of your mind is greater then the pollution in the environment. First clean up the pollution within you and you will naturally stop polluting the environment. People are more taken up with issues they can see then the hidden things within them. This is a distraction. Jesus pointed to the pollution of the Pharisees in their hearts while they looked at keeping the law. This is a deception. There is no solution to the internal pollution then the blood of Jesus. The pollution is so thick that many are blind to it. When they see the internal pollution then they will turn in disgust and some kill themselves. This is what it means to see. Most are blind to the internal pollution and see only the behaviour. The behaviour is a sign of the internal state of mind. This is why we need to be transformed by the renewal of our minds. Jesus came with the solution but it is too simple for man to receive. Now that you see it is your responsibility to help others to see. This is the greatest gift you can give another, the free salvation in Jesus. Then they will say I was once blind but now I see. All other ways point to the way but never to the Truth. John the Baptist came as the fore runner to point the way. So also there are many that point to the way not knowing the way themselves but think they do. It is only Jesus who can open the eyes of those born blind. This is what it means to be born again. Your mission is to help others see and be free from the pollution of their souls and their spirits.

TRUST IN THE LORD

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord and not in man. He who trusts in the Lord will be a strong pillar in the hands of the Lord. He will remain steady when everything else is crumbling around him. His mind is stayed on Him who is unmovable. God is for the man who trusts in Him. All His riches are for him. A man who has the God gene is like a man who will never die. He knows what eternal life is all about. He never fears the wind or the storm for He trusts in the God of the wind and the storm. His trust in the Lord will enable Him to welcome all and he is not biased by his beliefs. God accepts all and all are welcome into His household. The Lord is rich in favour for he has the whole world in His hands. He knows what is good for you and therefore you can praise Him in all things. Just stay refreshed in the Lord and let Him guide you. Your health and wealth are in His hands. There is no room for procrastination. It is time to act now. Now is the day of salvation and whoever calls on His Name will be saved.

WELCOME CHANGE

God is able and it is not clans or human allegiances but God allegiance that will finally determine your destiny. Human organisations are littered with calamities because humans tend to be clannish. This is their survival instinct. Those that are outside the clan have a secondary status. In God’s Kingdom all are invited and His Kingdom does not bar anyone. Clans will one day break down because human frailty is such that the flesh will want its own way always. The flesh will not bow to another because it is fired up by hell itself. No matter how holy a man is, his flesh will always rule him. In the Spirit you can subdue the flesh but even then some biases will never die. God saw this and the evidence was so real in the disciples. Only the Holy Spirit could overcome the differences yet there were times when Paul and others did conflict and go their way. This is the journey you have to face when you relate with humans. Loyalty will go so far and then when the pressures increase there will be division and separation. Welcome difference and do not see it as a challenge but a positive to encourage growth. The sinner in the world will test you. Closeted Christianity will never grow. It becomes inward looking and will die. Always be open to change and do not take it personally. Change will keep you young and vibrant. The majority will conform but the majority will choose the easy way. It is only the tough that will keep going when the going gets tough.

LIVING IN THE SPIRIT

Praise the Lord who gives completely of Himself to you. He is a Father and He gives freely to you because you are His son. He loves you and cares for you. Through all your trials and tribulations He is with you just as He was with His Son. This is your God. His presence in you is what makes the difference. In times of comfort your flesh takes over. It is in battle that you will need to depend on the Spirit. Your battles are in your mind. Your ego wants all the attention and will not rest till it has your attention. You are conscious of this and can defeat its longings to be in conflict. The ego desires conflict because it is in conflict that it is recognised. The ego does not like to be silent for silence means death to it. The Spirit loves silence for in silence you hear Him more clearly. This is why Jesus got away from the crowds so that he could pray and be listening to His Father. How good it is to hear His voice and be comforted. Many are the arrows that will come your way. The ego will keep your focus on the past and the future but you must live in the present. This is the only reality but the ego prefers the world of fantasy. How many years of your life have been wasted in fantasy? The ego prefers this world of make belief because this is the way it copes with reality. Cut yourself free from this and live now in the spirit and rejoice in this new day.

His presence in you is the answer to overcoming the flesh

This battle with the flesh is not new and all humanity is involved in this battle. Christ came to set you free from this. The church has lost its way because it has become unconscious like the rest of the world. Revival is the return of Christ consciousness. When you become Christ conscious then you recognise His presence in you. He is in you to enable you to defeat the flesh and the devil. The world conspires with the flesh to defeat the spirit. But the Spirit of Christ in you is greater then he who is in the world. Therefore be in the spirit and see how your enemies will flee. Plead His blood over your whole being and see how your enemies will flee your body and soul. The most high resides within you even when you are not conscious of His presence. His presence within you is real. The flesh however wants to be in control. When you are desperate for Him then it is that the flesh will let go. Like the alcoholic, the flesh refuses to let go till you reach rock bottom. At rock bottom is the state of total surrender. You cannot do it alone. This is why Jesus sent His own Spirit to help you. In your interactions with others your flesh will be stirred up. See these as opportunities to operate in the spirit which is death to the flesh. A free spirit is open to many kinds of spirits in the world. The Holy Spirit however will not entertain other spirits. This is the difference between the new agers and Christians. Therefore discern which spirit you are following. In these last days many are desperate for meaning and life but follow the broad way of destruction and not the narrow way of Christ. A free spirit is not bound in any way and therefore is open to all kinds of other spirits and is deluded into believing the false. The chosen will see and believe.

DISCERNING THE WORKS OF THE FLESH

Open your eyes and see the glory of the Lord. Now you know the conflict that most people are blind to. They walk in the flesh and they fight in the flesh. You have been freed from this conflict for now you can see the flesh for what it is and fight it in your spirit. This is a walk which is what the Bible calls a walk in the spirit. In this walk you can discern right from wrong. You no longer defend the flesh but die to it. Each opportunity you see enables you to die to those old ways of thinking and doing. You have come to the place of spiritual warfare where you fight the flesh with spiritual weapons and not earthly weapons. You recognise that you are in a spiritual battle. The Lord has allowed you to travel this long journey so that you would learn how wicked the flesh is. Jesus came to save you from your flesh life. The flesh life always seeks to satisfy its own desires. This is why you can’t walk in the flesh and the spirit. In the spirit you have victory over the flesh. The more you walk in the spirit the less you will desire the things of the flesh. God is at work in you by His Spirit who lives in you. All the fears of the flesh melt away as you walk in the spirit. This is your spiritual home. In Him you have everything you need to fight this battle of the flesh. Be filled in the spirit today and live.

THE TRUTH OPENS BLIND EYES

For the Lord is good and His loving kindness covers you. The Holy Spirit is released in you to think and talk through you. When you are in the Spirit then he takes over your mind and instructs you. He sows His thoughts into you. You become aware of your own thoughts and are able to differentiate them from His thoughts. You begin then to walk in His ways according to His thoughts. You are at peace now because you are walking in His will. This is a faith walk. Time and space do not matter any more because you are in His will. All you have is His and no one can take it away from you without His consent. You have committed all to Him and in His hands they will be. This is bliss and now you can enjoy His pleasures forevermore. He is love and in Him all are included, the saint and the sinner. Remember sin has infiltrated every corner of society and no one is free from its influence. However to choose to sin is given to man. He has the free will to choose. When men are blinded by Satan’s lies then they will fight for what they think is right. What is right may not be the truth. It is only right in the sight of the beholder who is blind. When his eyes are opened to see the truth then the scales will fall off and conversion will occur. This world blinds the people from the truth. Therefore you who know the truth need to walk according to the truth and shine His light.

BE PREPARED

God is at work in His church. He moves by His Spirit. Yes, just as when Jesus walked on earth so also God moves through you. Jesus could not work His works where there was little faith. Miracles occurred where there was faith. So also when the church is ready, God will move into the midst and bring healing. It is a partnership between God and man. As man moves towards God then God moves toward man. Therefore prepare your heart daily so that God can move and work through you. Your responsibility is to prepare the way and God will move at the right time. Remain in faith daily and you will receive your miracle. The flesh will work against you till it dies a physical death. Your spirit will live on to eternity. Your soul will be saved. What you have done in the flesh for Jesus sake will bring you rewards. Therefore be zealous in your work and serve the Lord with all your heart.

THE FLESH LIFE

The flesh will not die easily. It is only the constant awareness of His presence in you that can defeat the flesh. The flesh demands attention and it will try and get it in devious and varied ways. The flesh likes the darkness because it thrives in darkness and dark works. It is so bent that it cannot rejoice in good. It is bent towards sin and sinful ways. What you see in this world are the works of the flesh and of the devil. This is what God saw and He was moved to do something about it. He sent His Son as a sacrifice for sin. Satan now had lost his legal right because the God of justice had paid the price. Satan now has only right where he is allowed entrance. He will try and convince you otherwise but his end is near. Your battles with your flesh are over because you have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. He who knows the end from the beginning has purchased your soul and now you are free from the flesh and its longings. Hallelujah.

TRUTH

God is at work in you and the best place to be is to rest in is arms. He orders the times and the seasons and knows what is best for you. The devil may delay things but he does not have the last word. Only God has the last word. This is why you need to pray that all hindrances to His promises are unblocked. People need to persist in prayer till what they desire is received and achieved. God blesses and there is no doubt about this. His word is given so that you can receive His word in reality. What is in the word becomes flesh when you action it by faith. This is what happens in the spiritual dimension. You enter into the spirit dimension and receive His now word. Then you exercise faith in seeing the word being fulfilled. The word is fulfilled when the substance of it is seen. When you believe for a child then receive His word and the result is seen in a fruitful womb. Spiritual truth is translated into physical truth. His word became flesh and dwelt among men. People in the world have grasped this truth. This is why there is a burgeoning of spirituality at the present time. They all contain the truth but is not the truth. This is how the devil tricks people that they are alright but really they are not alright. Only the truth will set you free. All other ways will result in bondage.

HIS PRESENCE

God’s presence is what makes the difference. He is where you are because He resides in you. Therefore you can expect Him to see through you and speak through you. His conscious presence will bring Him into your conversation and bless others. It is like praying for others. Practicing the presence of God is the closest intercourse you can have with Him. It is like prayer as you practice His presence. He is everywhere but people are not aware of His presence. It is the awareness that results in the healing. Many talk about His presence but are not connected with it. When you become aware then you begin to see and feel and manifest His presence. This may come out as joy and laughter. Laughter is the release of emotion that has been pent up by your defences. Your defences keep your feelings under control. However there are emotions that need to be released otherwise they could damage your soul. Making people aware of His presence is what will bring healing. His healing presence go with you today as you minister to wounded hearts.

SENIOR PARTNER

The Holy Spirit is my senior partner. He directs my thoughts and feelings and actions. He is the author of all things pertaining to me and so I have confidence in what I do and think. He encourages me and exhorts me. He is my healer and restorer of my soul. My soul is in His hands and I am secure in Him. He is the Spirit of Jesus and He lives in me. I will never be alone because He will never leave me or forsake me. My life is hid in His hands. My mission is to make Him known so that others too may enjoy His presence in them. When I have tasted a good thing I want to share it with others. If I keep it to myself then I am being selfish because Jesus died for the whole world. His mission is my mission. He will direct me in His mission. He will order all things in my life and all I need to do is to be submitted to Him. Now I can bear all things because He is with me. He will take my pain and burden. I will do as He commands because I live to serve Him now. All these days I have lived to satisfy my selfish desires. Now I live to satisfy Him. I am His hands and feet, eyes and ears and tongue. I will praise Him always and live in His court day and night. Many will come and praise Him too and we will build a sanctuary for His presence. In His presence is joy everlasting. Praise be to the Lord.
