BE JESUS TO ALL
Praise the Lord who gives me courage and wisdom for the task ahead. He leads me and guides me along life's narrow way. He is my deliverer from all evil. In Him I am safe and secure. In Him is my righteousness. It is a marvelous thing to know that His blood cleanses me continuously from all sin. The devil can't touch me because I am in Him. He is my Protector. I have all in Him and I want for nothing. I now can spend the rest of my days in praising Him. All I need to do is praise Him and this will usher in His blessings and presence. He will direct my mind to think right and not wrong. When I am in neutral gear then I am open to all possibilities. When I box people in then they are boxed in and no change can occur. A person feels if they are boxed in or free in your presence. Jesus accepted all even though He knew them through and through. You only know in part and yet you box people in for your own need of control. Free them by accepting them and never seek to control them. You are then free to be yourself. When you box others then you box yourself in. What you give is what you get. Therefore love others and this way be Jesus to all.

GOD IS MY SHEPHERD
The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want. How good it is to know my Shepherd and to dwell in His midst. He knows my every need and He looks after me. He looks after me and ensures that His angels guard over me. He sends His angels to my aid whenever I call for them. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.He is my Rock and my Fortress and in Him I am safe. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. What wonderful words of life and strength. I will dwell in His presence for this is my dwelling place.I will praise the Lord at all times because I know He cares for me. Even when I walk through the valley of death He is close to me. Jesus went through the crucifixion process because He was called to do so knowing this was His Father's wish. He was confident in His Father's wishes and He rose again. God always comes through in resurrection power when all seems lost. All I need to do is to hang in there and trust Him to see me through. I love the Lord and in His presence I will dwell.I will seek His face and be a light in the midst of darkness. Come Holy Spirit and fill me today to be a light.

WORSHIP HIM
The Lord gives and he takes away, blessed be the Lord. He is the Giver of life and He is the Creator of life. He is above all and how can I a creation argue with Him. Who do I think I am to challenge His wisdom? I need to grow to appreciate His excellence in all things. I am but an ant and I just need to praise Him at all times. He is my Lord and I can’t imagine where I would be without Him. He is my all in all. He leads me and guides me and in Him I have all I need for an abundant life. A touch from Him is enough to make me whole. I behold Him and look to Him for manna each day. I love Him and cherish Him with all I am. I will seek to please Him in all my ways. I may slip into the flesh but He wakes me up and keeps me in the hollow of His hands. No amount of words can satisfy a man. It is only His Spirit’s unction that can meet my deepest needs. Come Holy Spirit and fill me to overflowing till I am blessed out of my socks. I worship the Lord Almighty, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In Him alone are the fountains of living water which flow endlessly. I will worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Blessed be the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.

HOLY SPIRIT POSSESSION
Powerful are the words from the Holy Spirit to change and transform lives. His words penetrate between soul and spirit and unshackle the shackles within. He is the discerner of the soul. Many look on the outside and make shallow judgements. God looks to the heart and His judgements are just. He knows you are fallen and succumb to sin easily. You maybe able to fool others but you can’t fool God. He sees and he knows and he believes in you. He has put His Spirit within you so that you can live His life. It is so simple yet profound that He lives in you. Now you have an eternal source you can rely on. You have earthly resources which are limited. The heavenly resources are minion times more then what you have. All that you have is an illusion which can be wiped out in a second. What you have in heaven is eternal. Therefore store up treasures in heaven. What a precious pearl you have in the Holy Spirit. He is the first deposit for what is to come. He comes and He welcomes all who look to him for manna. The manna He gives is eternal. Come Holy Spirit and flood my being till I am wholly yours.

NEW MIND
Jesus came to live His life through you. He does this through His Holy Spirit in you. He had to die and go back to heaven so that he could send His Holy Spirit to dwell in you. Imagine the potential within you when you realise that the Creator of the world lives in you. This revelation will blow your mind and still your heart. Your mind wants to control everything but the Holy Spirit works through your heart. He resides in your heart and thinks through your heart. When you begin to think through your heart then you are closer to the heart of God. Your mind is fleshly and thinks only of itself and its needs. Your heart is broad and large and embraces more then you. It extends itself because it is able to fathom the depths of eternity. Your mind is finite because it is limited by your brain. Your heart has no limits because it thinks like God. Now you can fly and swim and dance because you are free from the encumbrances of your mind. Your limited mind cannot fathom the mind of God. The Holy Spirit knows the mind of God. Switch into His mind by operating in the knowledge of His Spirit and fly. Yes to fly is to be above all the limitations of your mind. It is to soar like an eagle. Thank you Lord for your Holy Spirit. I acknowledge your presence in me and now I will operate in your mind and see the barriers pushed back. Hallelujah here I come world, to overcome all barriers and see the impossible become possible.

DECISION TIME
For it is appointed to man once to die and then it is settled for eternity. His decision on earth will determine his eternal destiny. This is the gospel and it needs to be declared to the entire world today. There is no other way to attain salvation then through the Cross of Jesus Christ. This is the only fool proof way and any other way is a deception. You can only declare what you believe. Others will have to decide on the basis of what they hear. You have to proclaim the message and this is the final hour. There is not much time left and you may be called home at anytime. What will you do with the time that is left? You have to proclaim the Good News far and wide. This is all you have left to do. Man searches for ways to advance himself but the time for that is ending. There is a window of opportunity after which there is no end to the destruction that will come upon the earth. Your silver and gold will not be sufficient to save you. All you have is your clothes on your back for all will be taken away. You will escape the fire by your teeth but nothing is lost for eternity is yours. Therefore live each day as if it is the last day and you will live in the freedom of the righteous. The righteous have no desire for this world and only look to the place awaiting them in heaven. They will happily die today for their treasures are in heaven. They have found peace for their souls and they await their Saviour’s return. Nothing faces them for they know all these things will come to pass. They are ready for the worst knowing that the best is yet to come. Therefore praise Him daily and be prepared for His soon coming to call you up to His Kingdom in heaven.

NEUTRALITY
Assumptions make us prejudge situations and persons. These assumptions are based on personal beliefs. These beliefs are based on history, experience and folklore. Assumptions give us a context to make judgements. However they are just assumptions and not the truth. Assumptions are personal till they become a group belief system and is held by the group. Given that there is a inbuilt bias in all this, it behoves the observer to be non judgemental and give the observed a listening ear. To maintain a neutral position enables you to suspend judgement and to limit your assumptions in boxing people in. This is so releasing for the observer and the observed. When you live your life on assumptions then you box yourself into a corner. Your sense of reality is based on your assumptions which maybe false. The world is so impermanent that we need some belief system to make sense of this world. Religion provides that base to some extent. However when those belief systems are challenged then your world begins to crumble too. Ideologies are based on these strongly held beliefs. People will fight to death to uphold their beliefs. It is not open to challenge. This is why these systems fossilise after a while. People in these systems also fossilise because they are isolated by their beliefs. Neutrality accepts others as they are and also frees you to be a person who accepts challenge and change. Jesus never condemned others but accepted them from the tax collector to the adulterer. The clash of beliefs and ideologies is what you see in the world that leads to violence and mayhem.

FANTASY IS NOT REALITY
Fantasy is not reality. Fantasy is a state where you dream of being in a place of your own creation. It does not entertain any possibility of being out of control. Every character in your fantasy is in your control. The outcome is predictable in that you will always win. This is your way of keeping your ego intact and not allowing it to face danger and distress. It is an escape from reality. Reality is in the now. There is no reality in the past and the future. What you thought is past. What you think is present. What is past fades into the past as a memory. Your brain can recall some of the things of the past but it can never recall everything exactly. Some of the memory will fade away into oblivion. Now is the only reality and what is real is that you are breathing and thinking now. Focus in the present enables you to be more real and in tune with the present. Being present is to be connected to what is present. Sometimes you can be here but not here. If you are in a fantasy world too much then your body is here but your mind is somewhere else. This is the fate of many who operate and live in their thoughts rather then in the present now. In relationship with others ask yourself if it is in fantasy or reality. In fantasy you form an image of the other in glowing terms and therefore see no fault. In reality that fantasy is challenged. When you see a person for the first time it is the looks that capture your attention. Then when they open their mouth you see someone else. Therefore learn to live in the present and cut yourself free from your past and future and be free.

CARRY THE LIGHT AND PUSH BACK THE DARKNESS
The presence of the Lord is what makes the difference. Without His presence it is all words with no action. His presence gives power to the words. Jesus always spoke into action what He said. He said eyes open and they opened. The gospel that is powerless is useless. You exercise this power when you believe what you say is God inspired. God filled words have the ability to create that for which it was sent. When God said let there be light, light came forth. When God created the worlds He spoke them into being. The word of His power created and put into motion the worlds. You too have power to create as you tap into His presence. His presence is available to all who call on Him. He is present everywhere but most are not aware of Him. You have a personal relationship with Him and when you enter in He comes present. In His presence you now have the power to see and hear Him and then to express His mind to bring heaven to earth. God is at work to demolish the powers of darkness and sin and to bring His light into existence. Therefore enter into His presence and live like a king because He resides in you. No force can stand in His presence and survive because He is Lord of all. The darkness only makes the light brighter and therefore do not fear the darkness. The darker the night, the brighter will be the light. Carry His light and see the darkness pushed back.

TUNING INTO GOD'S AGENDA
God is at work in you and will reveal to you His mind when you need it. The revelation you receive will astound you and you will become renewed. God is working in this world and in His church. You need to tune into what He is doing and do what He is doing. Many are involved in their own projects and including God in it. This is fallacy as doing this is for self glorification rather then for God. God reveals His mind to His people. All His people need to do is do what He is doing. This is what Jesus did. He did what He saw His Father doing. When you do what you see Him doing then you are in His will and doing His Kingdom works. This will take all pressure off you and keep you in the centre of His will. All opposition will melt away as you keep your eyes on Him. All negative thoughts and feelings will come under control as you fix your eyes on Him. Do not entertain those negative thoughts. Know that any negativity is from the pit. God’s thoughts are peace and love and not division and disruption. Even when you disagree you can do so in love. When Jesus called the Pharisees white washed sepulchres He did so in the spirit of love to enable them to see their blindness. In the Spirit you too can overcome. There is no other way to live then in the fullness of the Spirit. In this way you don’t have to fear anyone or anything. All is under His control even your enemies.

REALITY AN ILLUSION OF THE MIND
Remember the days of old when you used to bargain with the Lord for this and that. Now you have grown up and realise that the Lord knows what you need. He gives freely to those who ask and do not doubt. The Lord has made a way where there was no way. He is God and He can make a way when it is required. He has the whole world in His hands and there is nothing too difficult for Him. He is the Lord of the now and the hereafter. The Lord is good and His banner over you is love. When you speak with the authority of the Lord then Satan will withdraw. He comes to your aid when you acknowledge Him as Lord. He is with you and in you to perfect you to be like Jesus. Therefore be strong and do not be afraid for the Lord thy God is with you.The Lord is good and He will bring you through the troubled waters to the place of plenty. All reality is a myth because what is, disappears into the past. The past then is just a memory and there is no reality in that. What is real is just a perception of the now. What is of yesterday and tomorrow is but an illusion. Therefore when you confront reality you realise that it is but an illusion. Live in Him and do not give into those thoughts that try to seduce you to succumb to lust and affections of the flesh. In the Spirit you can rule and reign now.

ONE IN HIM
The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want. He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul. How lovely are the words that keep me in the centre of His will. He gives me words that delight my heart. I am His and He is mine and His banner over me is love. I love Him and He loves me and we both are one together. I walk with Him and He walks with me. What a fellowship, what a union no man can separate. Human relationships go up and down. However God never changes and He is always available. He is holy and righteous and He never moves or changes His position. When you are in God you too are stable and steady as a rock. He is the Rock of ages, the bright and morning star. How good it is to know Him and be united with Him. I love the Lord and He loves me. I will seek His face daily and His righteousness is mine.

REST IN HIM
Remember the days gone past and how the Lord blessed you and protected you from harm and danger. Today is the day the Lord has made, rejoice and be glad in it. He is your Keeper and your friend. He is the lily of the valley the bright and morning star. In Him you have everything you need to lead a abundant life. In Him all things will come to pass. Trust Him with all your needs. He is your strength and fortress and in Him you have a hiding place. Many do not want change for they are secure in what they know. You want to grow and expand and therefore cannot rest till you see the best. God enables you to dig deep into the recesses of your mind and tap into the deep things of God. God is resident in you therefore you can access Him at anytime. He is your rock and your salvation and in Him you have a refuge that no man can disturb. Come to Him when you are weary and find rest for your soul. All the attacks from the evil one cannot touch you for He is your Protector.

RULE FROM ABOVE
Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord and seeks His face daily. He is a man who knows God and is a friend of God. Such a man will not fear man because the fear of God controls him. Men of old walked with God and looked to God to lead them and guide them. The Holy Spirit is your guide and Master. He indwells you and keeps you in the straight and narrow way. Treat each day as a new day in the Lord and look for miracles. When you look for miracles then miracles will come your way. A miraculous lifestyle is one when you can expect God to infiltrate your world. This world does not know the power of God’s Kingdom. His Kingdom is not of this world. When you operate from heaven then heaven becomes your throne and earth becomes your footstool. This is how Jesus reigns and rules and occupies. The devil does not have a place in the Kingdom of God. He is earth bound and therefore does not have the same power as a heaven bound Christian. He would like to beguile the children of God by blinding them to the fact that God is alive. He would like to make God dead so that he can carry out his works of lies, death and destruction. Cancel those works of darkness in Jesus Name. Come to the throne of God and reign today in righteousness and live.

YOU WILL SEE WHAT YOU BELIEVE
There is power in the Name of Jesus. As you call on His Name for your needs then He sends His spirits to make the way. This is how you operate in the spirit to bring to pass in the flesh what is sown in the spirit. You cannot make it happen. All you can do is pray and believe. Your faith goes into action mode. What is visioned becomes real. What is unseen becomes seen. God spoke His word and the word became flesh. The spoken word became the fleshly word. All form happens in this way. You have a dream and the dream then takes on a life and transforms you and materialises what is dreamt. In this way you operate the way God operates, in spirit. There is no difference in the spirit between the formless and the form. All are one because they come from the same source. God is the source of all things so when you connect with God then you connect with all things of God. The sinner and the saint are both from God. The difference is only in the state. The sinner is in his sinful state while the saint is in his saintly state through the blood of Jesus. As a saint you have direct access to His throne of grace and can ask for anything in Jesus Name. All you need to do is believe you have what you have asked for. The blind man saw when he believed Jesus word and so also the dumb and the deaf. Today it is the same way. When you believe you will see what you believe.
