TRUST AND OBEY

The last day of the year is like the last day of your life. The past is the past and the future is what matters. The new Year will bring its share of joys and troubles. Prepare for the New Year for what lies ahead. Give all to God and He will see you through as He has over the past years of your life. You have gone through some troubled times and survived. You have not only survived but also overcome. Now you know you can trust the Overcomer in you. In His hands you have nothing to fear. He is always with you and has promised to keep you. Therefore rejoice and be glad for He is with you all the time. Now all you can do is offer up praise and thanksgiving to Him who is and forever will be. This is the word of the Lord for you. Trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus.

SUPERNATURAL FAITH

God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Your circumstances may change. You may change but God never changes. In prayer God remains stedfast and you change as you gaze on His face. Prayer mainly changes you. It never changes God. He sends His angels to comfort you. He sows His thoughts into you and changes you. Much time in prayer changes you to be like Jesus. Prayer takes you away from the realm of self seeking to listening to God and His voice. When you gaze on Him and sit in His presence you will reflect His glory. When you intercede for others then His angels will go and carry out His instructions. There are an army of angels at work to do according to His bidding. When men pray the angels get to work. This is why prayer can do wonders. The sick become whole and the captives are set free. The enemy is thwarted and light shines into darkness. The Spirit works through prayer and nothing is impossible in the spirit world which is eternal. This physical world is temporary and is engulfed by the spirit world. Therefore when you operate in the spirit, you operate above the natural in the supernatural. Today ask for supernatural faith to move mountains.

ETERNAL LIFE

Purity is a sign of holiness. The Lord is holy and He calls you to be holy. The devil is impure and all his followers are impure. Truth makes you pure. The truth that Jesus died for you and has redeemed you makes you pure. There is no purity like that of Christ blood cleansing you from all sin. His blood shed for you is the detergent that is matched by none. Eternal life in the spirit makes it durable and everlasting. What Christ did on the Cross is eternal and nothing can change that. Death is final. Eternal life gained through the resurrection is also final. He has redeemed you through His sacrifice on the Cross. Now you have eternal life in Him. Now you have life because death is overcome. People live but they have to face death one day. How do you live when death is your final destination? There is no life when death is the end. However life is vibrant and living when your destination is eternal and death is no more your end. You can devil proof yourself by living in the Spirit and never again giving into the torments of death.

FEAR

Many are the woes of the people who are led by self interests. They are like a person locked into their own world of desires that never seem to be satisfied. They chase after more and more things but never are satisfied. This is the demon of greed that drives them. Any god that is not the Lord will lord it over them. The Lord will never lord it over you. He is gentle and kind and will lead you but never lord you. You acknowledge Him as Lord but He will never control you. He does not need to control you because He is Lord. Only a person who fears losing control will need to control others. The enemy of your soul knows he is a loser and therefore wants to control. Control is the manifestation of the spirit of fear. Therefore when you see a controlling person you can be sure that fear controls them. All the other behaviours manifest through fear. Only love can dispel this fear. It is the love of God which is the antidote to fear. A fearful person has disturbed sleep and disturbed relationships. Relationships are disrupted through fear. Fear controls you and others. Today determine to be free from the spirit of fear and let His love control you. There is no fear in perfect love. Come Jesus and fill me with your unconditional love.

WAR

The battle between the flesh and the Spirit is ongoing. This is why you need to spend time in the Spirit to charge the Spirit to overcome the flesh. You have to choose daily the path you will walk, in the Spirit or in the flesh. The Spirit is always willing but the flesh is weak. The flesh can only become strong when the Spirit is neglected. Be strong in the Spirit and glorify the Lord. Yes all the systems of the world are imperfect. Therefore where humans are involved there will be ups and downs. This is part of the course of life. Those whose mind is fixed on Him will rarely wander from their destiny in Him. Your destiny in Him is eternal. There is no death, only life. This life in the flesh is only temporary. Even Jesus died in the flesh. Pray much in the Spirit so that you can walk in the mind of God rather then the human mind. Every attribute of the flesh is mirrored in the Spirit. All the senses are available in the Spirit. Therefore in the Spirit you can see and hear. When you sense your flesh rising up it means that you need to spend more time in the Spirit. This is a war and there is no easy way to overcome but to fight. The Holy Spirit will help you in your walk. This is His job to work through you to glorify His Name.

GOD BECAME MAN

 A new day has dawned and another year has past. Every day is based on this fact of history that on this day the Saviour of the world was born in human form. In eternity this is of no consequence but on earth it is of great consequence. A spirit  became man. The God of the Universe took the form of His creation. Difficult to comprehend yet so real and true. There is no other plan that can save man from his own self. This plan of salvation was formed from the beginning of time. It was birthed in the heart of God so that His creation can comprehend what real love is. This unconditional love that gave up His throne to become man is like nothing man can comprehend. Yet this is the demonstration of love that changed the world. It is still changing the world. It will continue to do so till His return. Let us celebrate the Saviour of the world and give Him all the glory for He alone is worthy.

NEW LIFE IN CHRIST

Christ is risen, Christ is alive, Christ is born in you. What a truth and reality is this that the world needs to hear and know. The fight with the evils of the flesh drowns the good news of salvation. Many cannot accept the reality of Christ because their flesh denies the reality. The flesh will die for it is under the law. Christ lives forever and will never die. He lives in you and He is the source of eternal life. You have been saved through grace and this is not by your own works of righteousness. Your flesh can never be saved for it is under the law and condemned to die just as Jesus died in the flesh. His Spirit however lives forever. His Spirit is formless although He came in the form of man. You also have a spirit and is born again by the Spirit of Christ. Now you too will live forever because of Him. So do not give into the desires of your flesh for they are condemned to die. Choose to live in the spirit for this is eternal. All the quirks of the flesh are doomed. In the Spirit you can live each moment in the fresh realisation of a new life.

IN HIM

God is good and He is forever seeking to commune with you. The distractions of this world keep you from communing with Him. You were made for fellowship with Him. He is very near and He is omnipresent. So close is He that you can almost feel His presence. As you enter the zone of His presence you become transformed in His presence. This is a surreal experience but real enough for it to be real. He is closer then anyone you know because He lives in you. He gives life and every breath you take is from Him. Your Creator lives and therefore you have life. Life is in the Spirit. Once the spirit leaves your body it is dead. The spirit is like breath. You breathe in the spirit of God. Yet He is a person who resides in you.God is external to you and internal to you. He is omnipresent. There is no way to explain it because he is the great I AM. We are just His creation and in Him we move and have our being. Therefore rejoice today that you are alive. Let none of the evils of the flesh torment you because in His presence they dissolve into vapour. Imagine this, your internal conflicts are nothing compared to His great love. His love in you will extinguish all conflicts. You will become love for God is love.

HE IS IN CONTROL

Praise God who controls all things. He is the God of the Universe. The Universe is His and he resides in you. What can go wrong when He is in control. The devil maybe in control of this world but God is in control of the Universe. Therefore the devil is just a monkey doing his tricks in God's world. When you are connected to God then the devil's tricks cannot overcome you. God will send His angels to protect you. All you need to do is submit to Him. Obedience is thicker then blood. In God's Kingdom it is obedience that leads to sonship. You are a son and a son obeys his master. In this union nothing can come and spoil the fellowship between son and Father. Therefore rejoice and be glad for the temporary trial you are going through is nothing compared to the glory awaiting you. Trust Him who has called you and prepares you for great things before you. Each day is a new day to experience God and His favour over you.

FEAR

Heavenly Father what do I do when the world suffers violence? Jesus suffered violence. Man through the fall has turned violent. He cannot control himself as fear grips him. The only response to fear is to fight or take flight. You become the oppressor or the oppressed. Only love can heal the terror of fear. The devil rules this world through fear. Man fears man and therefore needs arms to protect himself. Arms are a deterrent to violence but this is a thin line. Once fear steps over the mark then action will prevail. It is no different now as it was then. Fear entered the heart of Adam and Eve when they sinned and ever since then fear has ruled the heart of man. Jesus overcame fear through death. This is the only way to overcome fear, through death. When you identify with His death then you too can overcome fear. Identification with your Master releases His power. Faith is released to receive the power that can overcome the enemy. Therefore now let His love heal the wounds. Violence is a present reality in this world. Only love can cast out fear. Therefore love at all times and never give a foothold to the enemy of fear.

BELIEF

Belief is more important then genes. What you believe will translate into health or disease. Many are unconscious to their beliefs. They operate on cruise control and don't even know what they believe. Everyone believes something about themselves, others and the world. Most associations are built on a certain set of beliefs. Yet the individual denies any beliefs. It's only when you are forced to express your beliefs that it becomes conscious. Till then they remain hidden. They have been passed down the generations and control how you behave. Your whole being is controlled by your beliefs. If your belief is that you will die by 50 just as your ancestors did then this will control you. You will become what you believe in. If you believe in health then health will be your reward. Disease is only possible when you believe in it. Fear is a powerful force that cripples people through belief. It is a lie yet you believe it and so it is. Challenge your beliefs and change your destiny.

HIS GLORY

Christ in you the hope of glory. ThIS glory is for now and it is not just a hope for the future. His presence in you ushers in His glory. Do you believe this? If you believe this then you will experience His glory. The glorious presence of Christ in you is a mystery. His Holy Spirit was sent for this very purpose. God knew it is impossible for you to live a holy life without His Spirit in you. Sin has so marred your image that now only His Spirit in you can change you to your original image. You were made in His image. Therefore our original image was like Christ. Now He has come to redeem us so that we are like Him. This is a glorious mystery. Now you can expect to walk on earth like He walked, in signs and wonders. He will minister through you. All you need to do is allow Him to do it. This is surrender. Humility is the giving up of your own desires for His . This is the only way to live the abundant life. In Him all things are possible. Therefore believe and expect Him to come through for you in abundance.

HIS WORD

God is good and His banner over me is love. What a mighty God we serve. His word is the answer to your need. Your need is fulfilled in His word. His word is like manna from heaven. Everyday you feed on fresh manna as you read His word. His word reveals the rhema word to you. His Spirit will reveal His rhema word to you through His written word. It is only those who operate in the Spirit can see beyond the written word. The written word is for all time. His rhema word is personal and for this time. In God time is not a factor for He is eternal. When you enter into the spirit world you operate beyond time and space. His eternal word becomes flesh to you. This brings life to your soul and body. His healing word becomes your healing word to your flesh. Therefore meditate on His word day and night till it becomes rhema to you. God sends His word and it brings forth fruit of its kind. What a great God we serve.

NOW IS THE DAY OF SALAVATION

In Christ there is hope everlasting. In Him alone is there salvation. There is no other Name under heaven by which you can be saved. There is no other Name then the Name of Jesus. Many others have come and gone but the Name of Jesus prevails. His Name is above every other Name and in His Name there is freedom. He came that you may have life and that abundantly. His life is in the power of a eternal now. He is your Saviour now. He is your Provider now. He is your Healer now. Everything in God is now. The enemy will try and get you to think in terms of the past and the future but God is in the now. There is no time factor with God. Time is a product of death. Man is limited by time bur not God. When you operate in the Kingdom of God there is no time factor. A minute is like a million years. Therefore learn to live in the now and never postpone what you can do now. Live and act in the now. This is the time to give and love. There is no tomorrow. Today is the day of salvation to everyone who believes. Come now and be saved. No amount of thinking is going to change things. It is when you believe that you will see His salvation. Therefore step out in faith and take the hand of God and walk with Him into the unknown. He will lead you step by step into eternity.

FATHER GOD'S LOVE

Father God's love is so deep that you can't but respond like a child. His love is so high that trust is so deep. You can trust Him with everything. He knows your need and there is no one who understands you more then Him. He is your heavenly Father and no earthly father can replace Him. Come all and  worship Him and receive His love through His Son, Jesus. The Holy Spirit will minister His love to you. You will feel Him. He is alive and the feelings you feel are real. It is not a mind game. His Spirit is real and he manifests His glory through you. You can see Him work His work through you and He manifests Himself to those who really trust Him. Trust is faith in reality. When you trust you are really putting your faith in an unseen God. Yet He is so real for he will sow His thoughts in you. You will rise up like an eagle on His thoughts and prevail. To prevail is to assail every negative and contrary thought that is sent against you. The devil cannot read your thoughts but he can send his thoughts. His thoughts will try and build you up. God's thoughts always seeks to build others up. He is always getting you to serve rather then be served. In this way you are built up and grow to be His representative on earth. You are His ambassador. Act like one and live to bring Him glory.

OPERATING IN THE SPIRIT

Walking by faith is like walking blind but trusting in the One who guides you through His inner voice. You operate in your 5 senses, spiritually being sensitive to the senses. When you feel heat it is a sign of His presence. You flow in the Spirit. You operate in the Spirit rather then the flesh. In this way you are protected from doubt as you move forward by faith. You take risks that naturally you would not. You do not stop to worry and procrastinate. You are moved by the Spirit to do. You leave the results to Him. You are led in the moment and not in any planned way. This is to move freely and the people on the receiving end will receive in the spirit too. What is done in the spirit will be received in the spirit. What is done in the flesh will be received in the flesh. You have been called apart to operate in the spirit. In the spirit world there is a reality that is unseen. God operates in the Spirit because He is Spirit. Man operates in the flesh and the spirit. This is why Jesus came in the flesh so that He could show man how to operate in the spirit while living in the flesh. Many did not understand the things of the spirit for they were blind. So also in this world many will not understand and die in their ignorance. You are called to proclaim the truth in the Spirit and leave the rest to God.

PRAY IN TONGUES TO RELEASE THE OTHER GIFTS

As you pray in tongues expect God to pray through you. Praying in tongues is the Spirit praying through you. It is God's Holy Spirit who is in you who prays through you. It is the gift of the Holy Spirit as all other gifts are. Therefore when you pray in tongues for healing then the healing gift is exercised. If in prophecy then the gift of prophecy is exercised. So also for the 9 gifts of the Spirit. They are all exercised through the Holy Spirit within you. Therefore all God wants you to be is His channel of blessing. All the gifts are for blessing others. You are just a channel for His blessing to flow through. All you need to do is to keep your channel pure so the blessing can flow freely. God desires purity for the devil will try and infiltrate an impure vessel. God's gifts will still flow through an impure vessel but the impurity will affect the recipient of the blessing. You have a responsibility to keep yourself pure otherwise you will be judged. It is a fearful thing to fall in the hands of the living God. The only way you can stay pure is to surrender all to Him. Your will must be submitted wholly to Him. In this is your security and freedom. His grace will see you through the hard times. You will be attacked but His angels will protect you as you stay fixed in Him.

RHEMA WORD

Priceless is the person who trusts in the Lord. The Lord will guide you each step of the way. All you have to do is walk ahead step by step. No more will be revealed to you then what is necessary. This is to walk by faith. The Lord knows what is ahead of you. Do everything to please Him and you will find rest for your soul. This is perfect rest when you can rest in His arms and not fear. Fear comes from the devil. He likes to guide you away from God. Faith will fight fear till fear is overcome. There is nothing to fear in love for perfect love cats out all fear. Therefore remain in love and faith and see your mountains move. It is so good to listen to the Lord then to your own thoughts. Your own thoughts are inferior to His word. His word will come to you as His rhema word and not just his written word. It is when His written word becomes rhema that you receive the prize. Therefore soak much in prayer till what you hope for becomes a reality. Your healing comes when the word spoken over you becomes rhema. This is the living word as opposed to a written word. What you speak becomes rhema when it is realised. A cheque is written but till it becomes cash it remains a cheque.

DO NOT LOSE HEART

Happy is the man who puts his trust in the Lord and not in his own strength. The Lord is near you and will feed you as you put your trust in Him. There are many ways the devil will tempt you away from the Lord for that is his main work. He wants to discourage you and make you disheartened and hopeless. God loves you and He is the hope you long for. He has promised so much yet the world will reject Him. The world will follow the order of the laws of nature which is death. God will call you to walk by faith and to rise above the systems of the world. Why bother to follow the laws of nature which will end in death when there is a higher law of life? God's children will need to pray and not lose heart for the devil will work even harder to discourage you as his end nears. The world will follow its course to destruction as it did in the days of Noah. The remnant will look to God to help them in the last days. So lift your head high and follow the leading of the Spirit and do not lose heart.

LIGHT IN DARKNESS

God is good and His mercies are everlasting. He is good because He only does good. He never thinks evil because He is all light and in Him there is no darkness. In His presence you will live in the light and move in the light. The light of His presence enables you to think and do what He desires. Doing His will is not a chore because in it is goodness and life. Why choose to think and do evil when the result is death. Doing good enhances you and builds you up. In an evil world good will always stand out for it will bring light. Darkness will cover the earth but the Light of His presence will attract the lost to His light. Like fire flies they will come to the light and be saved. So today be a light in the darkness and shine brightly.

PERCEPTION

Perception is everything. You perceive what you see. Two people may see the same thing but perceive it differently. This is what gives rise to conflicts. If your perception is largely negative then what you will see is negative. On the other hand if your perception is largely positive then what you will see will be positive. There are more positive people in the world then negative. However the negativity of a few grips our attention. The media fuels the negative news for positive news is dull or not news worthy. The media also determines our perception. However if you have a positive mind set then the negative news will always have a positive slant to it. This is why it is so important to be steeped in God's word. His word is positive because he is a good God. God is sinless and is above all negativity. The clouds prevent us from seeing the sun. God is the sun who shines above the clouds all the time. He never changes His position. We change but God never changes. His word likewise never changes and is true today as it was when it was written. Let His word change your perception and see how your whole world changes with it.

RULE AND REIGN IN THE SPIRIT

Evil is everywhere. This world is ruled by the god of evil. Therefore don't be surprised that every temptation hides the face of evil. In the Spirit you have power over the evil one. Jesus came to destroy the works of darkness. He did this finally at the Cross. He disarmed them of their sting. Now they are a powerless force who can only tempt you to believe in them and be deceived. Deception is their main weapon. Now that they have no power all they can do is to deceive, lie and confuse. Be done with them by giving yourself to prayer much to bind their influence over you and your loved ones. The church needs to rise up in this warfare against darkness as it threatens the lives of many. Suicide is just the end of the struggle when the victim loses all hope and feels powerless. Demons feed on the authority humans have on earth. God had given humans the authority not demons to rule and reign on earth. Now you have to reclaim this authority and not be deceived by the devil to give in to his wicked ways. Never compromise from the truth. Always sand for the right and you will reign victorious.

DEATH TO THE FLESH

Don't even spend a second in entertaining the flesh. The flesh is corrupt through and through and cannot be reformed. Your Spirit man will overcome your flesh as you give Him control over your thoughts. He will renew your thoughts and transform your life. Your inner man will be renewed by His work within you. It is not just knowledge only but wisdom to know the difference between good and evil that will transform you. The flesh will try and entice you and ask you to compromise with evil. Evil has become good in the world and the flesh will conform with the world, The Spirit on the other hand will fight the flesh and the world. The world is controlled by sin and the devil. You cannot serve 2 masters. Many fall because they live compromised lives. There is no compromise in Christ. He gave all for you and He demands the same from you. A man must take up his cross, death to self, and follow Me, is the word Jesus spoke to His disciples. No man can follow Him without the unction of the Spirit. We labour in vain when we try to do what we cannot do in the flesh. This is why works in the flesh will fail. Only the anointing of the Spirit can break the yoke. This yoke is what we labour under and waste our lives on. This yoke is the yoke of slavery to the flesh.

THE LORD WORKS WONDERS

The Lord is good and His banner over you is love. When you enter into the realm of the Spirit you are able to think and feel like the Spirit of Jesus. Is this not amazing. He is in you and will fill you as you allow Him to. He is the Author and Finisher of your faith. He is able to do anything through you. This is why He promised that you would do greater things then He did when He walked on earth. His Spirit in you is able to do it. Love and humility will be the mark of His Spirit in you. The old you will die a death and the new you will come a life. This is the transformation that will take place as you surrender all to Him. This is the work of grace in your life. Therefore place your life on the altar as a living sacrifice totally surrendered to Him. You will marvel at His work and His glory will shine through you. Many will marvel at His work through you and come to Him. God is working in the world through signs and wonders and all man can do is stand and gasp at His works. Prepare yourself for this end time works of the Spirit. Praise Him for all His works and delight in Him always.

CHANGE YOUR IMAGE AND CHANGE YOUR DESTINY

Images are reflections of your mind. Your mind begins to make inferences based on the images that you see in your minds eye. These are powerful images that arouse your feelings that fuel the image. The image maybe of you dying or winning. Both negative and positive images have a similar effect. If you imagine negative images then this will be the outcome of your life, negative. If you have positive images of success and victory then this will be your portion. Screen those images. It is just an image and therefore can be changed by your will. You decide what image you will entertain. If it is a pornographic image then you have the power to cancel it or dwell on it. The Holy Spirit can help you with cleansing your image. An image is like an idol. It will take over your life if you allow it to. Change the image of yourself and you will change your destiny. This is why dreams and visions are so important. The vision you have is an image. A Godly image will result in Godly outcomes. Jacob did this and multiplied his flock. You can do the same and image a million souls in your camp. This is God's image for you. As you image this vision then it will so possess you and the Holy Spirit will get to work to bring it to pass. When you image your family together as one with you then that is what will come to pass. If you image them as divided then that will come to pass. Change your image and change your destiny.

THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOUR SENIOR PARTNER

The Holy Spirit is your senior partner. He is not a thing to be used whenever you need Him. He is one to be revered as a big brother who wants to work with you. You don't consult Him only when you need to but you are in fellowship with Him all the time. This is the difference between being used and being a partner. The Holy Spirit is a person with thoughts, feelings and will. His personality will influence you so that His thoughts and feelings and will become one with yours. Jesus was one with His Father. So you are one with the Holy Spirit. The fullness of the Holy Spirit is the work of submitting your will to His will. Now you think what He thinks and feel what He feels and do what He does. When this happens then you become a channel of His glory. His presence in you is His glory. The more He occupies your heart the more of His glory you will experience and see. You carry His glory in your being. Very few realise this and so they abuse their body and mind and spirit. Let the Holy Spirit lead you and guide you and see how your talk and walk will be different. He will work through your personality. You are a person as He is a person. The difference is that He is a Creator while you are His creation. The Creator of the Universe dwells in you. This should blast you into eternity and make you feel so grateful and thankful forever.

FREEDOM FROM FLESHLY LUSTS

The only deliverance we have from fleshly lusts is to live in the Spirit. The flesh is so self centred that it will crave for attention all the time. The lusts of the flesh are all self centred. This is why Paul cried in Romans 7 and said he is like a man undone. He knew his terrible state in the flesh. However he could cry another cry of victory in the finished work on the Cross. This is your victory too. In Him you are free to be what he has called you to be. In Him you are free from the pull of fleshly lusts. In Him you are no more bound to slavery. You are now a slave of Christ. This slavery is not the kind that compels you to do what you don't want to do. It is a freedom that springs from within your heart. This heart transformation happens when the Spirit of Jesus takes over your heart and makes you like Him. You walk on earth like Jesus and talk and feel like Him. He unites your being with His being and you become one just as Jesus and the Father are one. He will keep you and all you have to do is surrender all. The flesh only suffers when you resist His Spirit. God allows suffering to enable you to let go and let God.

FAITH MORE PRECIOUS THEN GOLD

What is it you have to offer God at the end of your life? Gold and silver? Your faith more precious then gold is what you have to offer. All of life is a journey of faith. Just as Abraham walked on earth by faith so also you too have been called to walk by faith to the promised land. Abraham never entered the promised land yet he looked to what was before him. We have entered the promised land by faith in the finished work of Jesus the Messiah. He has gone on before us and we can live in the living hope that we too will join Him one day. Now we can enjoy the fruits of faith as we enter the promised land. This is the Kingdom of God. We pray thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Yet we live as if we belong to an earthly kingdom. His Kingdom is heavenly and we have been given the authority to rule and reign on earth as it is in heaven. In heaven there is no sickness, poverty or hatred and pride. These are earthly things that rob us of our heavenly inheritance. We have to believe and see and live in His Kingdom today. Never mind what the circumstances say. We have to live in His glory here on earth. His glory is His presence. In His presence is heaven on earth. Hallelujah.

LORD OF ALL

Jesus is Lord of all. He has won the right to be Lord of all. He offered Himself as a sacrifice for all. He has now risen to rule from heaven over all. His enemies are His footstool. In Him all things hold together. He is the author and finisher of your faith. It is faith in Him and His word that will enable you to reign with Him. He has appointed you to rule on earth in His name. He has given you the authority to do in His name what he has called you to do. Therefore look to Him for everything just as He looked to his Father for everything. God is able to do more then what you can think or desire. He is Lord of all. Therefore go and be a light to the gentiles. Do not be ashamed of your standing in Him. Rather rule and lead as the head. Act as if you are Him on earth as He is in heaven. You will find all the spiritual resources you need to conquer all. You have a mission and to this mission you have to apply all your attention to. He will lead you one step at a time and it is only when you look back that you will see the tapestry He has weaved.

LIVE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT

The Lord is merciful to all who will call on Him. Every person is a child of God and has the ability to call on Him. Many call on Him when they are in distress. Therefore do not be alarmed when people blaspheme His name. They are nearer to Him then those who quietly ignore Him. The rebel is nearer to the heart of God then the follower. Paul was a rebel and see where God took him. Never judge a person by their behaviour. Their heart maybe crying out for deliverance and their rebellion is just that. Love is the most powerful force that can turn a rebel into a saint. Therefore let love be your guiding force when you enter enemy territory. The devil cannot stand love because he is full of hatred. What is opposite of evil is live. The fruits of the spirit are the opposite to the lusts of the flesh. When you walk in love then you will manifest all the other fruits of the spirit. When I walk in the spirit there is no room for division or a walk in the flesh. I live in the spirit and walk in the spirit. This is what will cause the glory of God to come down. Many live in the spirit but walk according to the flesh. This causes confusion and is the cause for division in my church. Pray that my people will live and walk in the spirit.

FEELINGS

Never make decisions based on feelings. Feelings can inform but should never force you to decide. Your head must decide. Your head is able to see the big picture. Your feelings only see the immediate. This is why reactions based on feelings almost always are wrong. Feelings are aroused by your senses. You see something beautiful and your feelings are aroused at the moment. These feelings fade away after a while and the same reaction is not present. You are moved by an emotional talk and decide to do something based on the emotion. Later you think about it and don't feel the same and decide not to do it. Feelings are good when they motivate you to do good. They can be destructive when they motivate you to do evil. Always take time before making decisions for then you will not regret when the dust settles. This is why it is always a good strategy to wait and not rush into decisions. Time is on your side. When you rush into things they will compel you to say and do things that you may later regret. Watch your feelings. Let them educate you and not control you. A good decision backed with feeling always results in action. When you are passionate about your cause then feelings will drive you to achieve what seems impossible. God's cause is the salvation of mankind from sin and its effects.

WALK IN THE SPIRIT

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The Lord loves His people to walk in His ways. The Spirit in you pleads with you and intercedes through you for the salvation of many. When the fear of the Lord is missing then the people will walk in their own ways which will lead them to destruction. The Lord has made us to walk in His ways for our own good. The goodness of the Lord is good. He never intends to harm us. However the flesh will try and oppose all that God intends for good for us. This is the battle we have to wage against the flesh and the devil daily. The walk in the spirit is easy but the flesh always comes in the way. This is why only a complete surrender to Him will do. Anything less is giving way to the flesh and the devil. God can move very speedily through a life fully surrendered. God wants to move and wants to bless but we must allow Him to do so. Thank God for all the blessings you already have. Now allow Him to bless you even more. Only life in the Spirit is of value in eternity. Why not start now.

ADDICTIONS

The more you operate in the Spirit the less the flesh has control over you. Any addiction can be overcome in the Spirit. Small addictions and big addictions are the way the flesh operates to control you. The flesh likes rules and regulations. This gives the flesh a sense of security although it realises it is flimsy security. The defences of man keep you sane from the challenges of life especially in relationships. The defences are mental mechanisms to keep you from feeling defeated and blamed. All blame is shifted to another because guilt is too painful to bear. The thief justifies his behaviour by rationalising it. This is defensive behaviour. So also addictions are like bad habits that become automatic. Even addictions to foods come in this category. Pray in the Spirit and allow the Spirit to dismantle your defences and set you free. In the Spirit you operate on a spiritual plane and depend on Him to protect you. He is in control of all things. The more Jesus is proclaimed Lord the less self will have a say. Hallelujah.

GOD IS POSITIVE

God is positive, loving, kind, merciful and forgiving. All the attributes of God are positive. Why then do you entertain negativity? If Christ is in you then His attributes must be yours. What is not of Him is of the devil. Sin came into the world through the devil. Therefore anything that is negative is not of God. Without sin there is no death and decay and destruction. It is sin working through man that causes it. What right do I have to give into sin when the victor over sin lives in me. Why do I give so much attention to sin and the devil when he has been defeated on the Cross. All I need to do is to walk in His righteousness and I will be God conscious and not sin conscious. The need to repent is only needed when I am not walking in His righteousness. His righteousness is imputed on me. It is not due to my own goodness but His. Therefore I walk in this covenant of grace that enables me to live a righteous life. I am aware of sin and the devil but they don't hold my attention. I resist the enemy when he comes before me to tempt me. In this way I guard myself and in so doing I am the door keeper. I set my will to His will and do His will and not my will. I am dead to self and alive in Him. My only cause to live is Him. In Him I am at peace. Now I exude His glory. The glory of His presence which changes everything. Imagine His presence with you all the time and in His presence no evil can survive. Glory to God in the highest.

BEWARE OF THE ENEMY'S TACTICS

The enemy tempts the flesh. He is a master manipulator. All you need to do is tell him to go to Jesus. Do not entertain the thoughts and feelings for a second. Just direct Him to Jesus. This is the only way to overcome him because Jesus overcame Him on the Cross. Now is the time to walk circumspectly. The days are evil and you must walk in the Spirit. The devil will target those who desire to walk in the Spirit. He is not interested in those who are lukewarm or cold. He is afraid of those who are a threat to his kingdom. You are the representative of Jesus on earth. You wear His badge of ownership. You are a threat to the demons and Satan. Therefore do not be surprised when you are attacked for this. When you stand up and proclaim His reign then you assault the kingdom of darkness. Your prayers go out to perform the works of righteousness. All darkness fears the christian who has power with God. Fear not for you are in His hands and He holds you firmly. Trust in Him completely.

LET HIM BE THE PILOT

Jesus you reveal your mind to me today. I only want to do what you want me to do today. I want to be filled in your Spirit and be led by you. This is true humility. To be filled and led by the Spirit means that the flesh has  to die. You cannot be filled and walk according to the flesh. The Spirit and the flesh are enemies. Therefore there is only one way to walk, in the Spirit. Living in 2 camps is like living in no mans land. You are neither here nor there. This is a compromised position and leads to lukewarmness. God wants you hot or cold. Your will decides which path you will take. Consecrate your will to the Lord. It is the wheel of your life. Let Him take control of the wheel. He is the best pilot you can have to lead you through the treacherous waters. He knows where you need to go because He has already reached the destination. Why try and do it yourself when He can do it for you. This is the time to let go and let Him take over. He is in you and will guide you. Leave all to Him. He will speak and work through you. Cast your burdens on Him for He cares for you.

NATURALLY SUPERNATURAL

The supernatural has become natural for those who walk in the Spirit. The Spirit world is invisible but by faith you can make the invisible, visible. This is what Jesus meant when He prayed Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. This is to bring heaven down to earth. Only those who walk in the Spirit can do this. Jesus did this and His disciples can do this. He showed the 12 how to do it and then the 70 and they then did the same. Thus the church multiplied as the Kingdom of God manifested on earth. Yet this power can be stopped by men who oppose it. This is the warfare that is going on in the heavens and now is heating up as the soon return of Jesus draws near. What will you do during this time? Prepare for the soon coming King. Let go of all your personal desires and ambitions. Sell all and work for the Kingdom. This is the only way to live by faith. These things will hold you back from moving in power. The flesh will hold on to these things because they give you a sense of security. There is nothing secure in this world. All will disappear in a second. What remains will be yourself and God. When you meet Him you will have nothing to show but yourself and what you have done for His Kingdom. Come Holy Spirit and make me a vessel of your power to bring heaven down to earth.

HEAVEN ON EARTH

A heart that sees and believes knows. This is the difference between heart belief and head belief. One knows and the other knows about. Jesus illustrates this clearly by saying I know my Father and my Father knows me. A true knowledge of God expresses itself in a personal way. It is like I have met the Queen rather then I know all about the Queen. Knowing in the heart is a personal encounter with the supernatural. The spirit world is supernatural. Yet God has made it natural by bringing heaven to earth. Therefore what is in heaven can be experienced on earth. When heaven comes down to earth then what is in heaven becomes possible on earth. There is no sickness in heaven and so when heaven comes to earth all sickness vanishes. All that is in heaven is possible on earth. God promises this when He says that His people can experience this when they repent and turn from their sin and wicked ways and repent and pray. When we pray and bring His glory down then miracles happen. In His glory miracles happen. Pray therefore for His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In heaven there is no poverty, sickness or disease. All is wholeness and wealth and health. Therefore when you face sickness, disease and poverty pray for heaven to come down and see these maladies disappear.

GOD KNOWS

God makes no mistakes. Many think that people with a disability are mistakes. This is the way people without external disability think. However we are all disabled in some way whether physical, mental or spiritual. We are all sinners and this is a basic disability we are born with. Sin then manifests in different forms. Look at the achievements in paralympics. Nothing is a limitation unless you allow it to be so. Where there is a limitation can sometimes be a strength. Some have allowed the limitation to be a cause for failure rather then success. God knows why He allowed you to be born. He has a purpose which is wider then you. In God's world no one is a mistake. What happens in life is totally in the control of God. He allows things to happen for a purpose. It is in overcoming our limitations that brings us strength. No weakness is insurmountable. Turning your weakness into strength is the challenge. With God's help you can do it and more. Therefore do not judge ny externals because there is more to a person then what is seen. Every person has gifts and talents that need to be exercised to fulfil His plan. Once sin has been cancelled then life takes a new meaning. Eternal life always brings a new dimension to your outlook. You become more a seeker then a pessimist. You become less cynical and more optimistic and hopeful. You look to God for help then rely on your own strength. Love becomes the way rather then fear.

FORGIVENESS

The flesh loves conflict. It will create conflict where there is no conflict. It will provide you with feelings that will attack your spirit with all kinds of negative feelings of pride, envy and jealousy. These feelings then energise you to destroy and not repair relationships. People have destroyed relationships of years through one small incident. When negative feelings are harboured over a long period of time against an individual it will only take a spark to get the fire going. This fire will destroy. This is why forgiveness is so important to exercise. This forgiveness must be from the heart. The issue must be separated from your feelings about it. This is difficult for the feelings drive the issue and not the issue at all. The issue is just the spark. What is said and how it is said sparks off feelings that are aroused that become the main issue. However the feelings are not addressed and the mole hill becomes a mountain. The mountain then blocks out all light and the participants walk away from it as this is easier then walking in forgiveness and love. This is at the root of all conflicts. Unless a person is prepared to die to their flesh there will be no reconciliation. Reconciliation is covering just as Jesus sacrifice covers our sin. In relationships reconciliation is death to self and uniting in the spirit to foster love and wholeness. Each time you forgive the other you take the step to reconcile and be made whole. This is not primarily for the other but for yourself. Forgiveness sets you free from the evil of the other and sets the other free to forgive too. Real forgiveness is from the heart and leaves you feeling clean and whole and all that is left is the memory and sometimes even the memory of the incident disappears. The Cross exemplifies the way of forgiveness and reconciliation and restoration. Praise be to God.

RHEMA WORD

The Spirit and the word work together. The word is the word of the Spirit. The Spirit and the word work together to bring forth the fruit. When you meditate on the word then the Spirit will make His word alive. Without the Spirit the word is like any other word. This is why you need to know the word so that the Spirit can bring life to it. His word is what will bring forth what is spoken. His word hid in your heart will bring forth the fruit. Your thoughts are not His word. This is why speaking forth His word and meditating on His word and believing His word is vital for your spirit. The Spirit works His word through your heart.Meditation is the activity of the heart and not the head. The head receives and the heart digests. Just receiving the word does nothing to the heart. The heart needs to digest the word and this then becomes life. The healing word becomes the healing for your flesh. Everything in the word is for your possession. You have to receive the word and make it your own. This becomes the rhema word when you personalise it. Praying in tongues enables you to hear what the Spirit is saying now. The now word is the rhema word for you. God's word is alive and brings forth what is spoken in your life when you receive it by faith. Faith working through love will produce fruit that is eternal.

God's address

The Lord is above all. There are so many distractions in life and the key to success is to stay focussed. Focus is difficult when the brain is bombarded with so many inputs from within and without. Yet a man whose mind is stayed on Him will flourish like the tree beside still waters. He will never grow dry because the Lord will control his mind. He will be like a well watered garden and many will come to him to be refreshed in His presence. His presence is in you and with you. You carry His presence wherever you go. This is the beauty of the gospel. God did not just give us a gift. He came to take residence in us. Usually a gift is something different from the giver of the gift. God's gift is Himself and He comes and takes residence in us. It is like  a life exchange. He gives His life as a gift for ours. His life becomes our life through the gift of His Son, Jesus. What a gift is this? The giver of the gift is the gift. God the three in one comes to dwell in me the temple of the living God. God's address is me.

GRACE

Grace is unlimited and eternal. This is what the Father has availed for you through the sacrifice of His Son on the Cross. Few realise the immensity of this work. If not for grace we would still be slaves to sin. The law just exposes sin. It is sin that gives power to the law. Grace now cancels the power of sin. Sin has no more power over you because grace is at work in you. God's grace frees you from the constant turmoil of keeping the law. Now that grace has come the law has no more rule over you. Now the law of grace and life keeps you from sin and death. The law of grace has completed the work of cancelling sin and therefore there is no law to keep. Everything is covered by grace and now all you need to do is to avail of this gift. It is a gift for none of us deserves this as we were all born in sin. Now grace comes in and removes the stain of sin and replaces it with the righteousness of Christ. To avail of this blessing one must stand in the light of it. To stand in the light of grace is to be flooded with His unconditional love which covers a multitude of sins. In the flesh you are still prone to sin but this is covered by His grace. Now you can live in the consciousness of His finished work on Calvary. You still need to work out your salvation for this is what it means to walk in the Spirit.

TRUST IN JESUS

The walk of faith requires you to trust in God completely. You have to put all in His hands and take your hands off. He will then change hearts and circumstances to achieve His plans. His plans are made in heaven. The devil will try and stop His plans but God is greater then the devil. His people need to realise that they are only open to deception when they take their eyes off Jesus. Instead of an idol God sent Jesus to be our intermediary. This is why we pray in Jesus Name. In Jesus Name you have the authority to overcome every hurdle. God is above all and He will come through for you at the right time. This is the time for your victory. He has spoken His word to you and you have to hold on to His word and not what you see or feel. What you see and feel will line up with His word. In this way you will see His word perform what it promises. This is the way the devil works too. If you let him lead you then he will perform his word. This is why it is important to know what you believe in your heart. It is heart believe that will determine the final outcome. This is why no amount of information can change things. It is belief that matters in how your destiny will be. Believe in Jesus and trust Him to come through for you.

HEADSHIP

God has appointed me as the head of the family. He chose my wife to be my companion. She is a gift to me. How I treat her determines the fruit I will bear. My children are the fruit of my loins. How I treat them will determine the outcome of their lives. I have an adversary who is dead set to destroy what God has appointed for me. He always attacks my family for he knows that is the best way to undermine me. External attacks never have the same destructive power as internal attacks. The enemy always works from within. If he can infiltrate internally then he has support to kill and destroy from within. This is what is happening to families world wide. Divorce is on the increase because marriages are not under the headship of God as God intended. I need to take my place as the head and begin to reverse the damage done over the years. Only the blood of Christ can cleanse and heal. I will need to demonstrate by my works that I mean what I say. Asking for forgiveness is the first step towards change. It is a change of heart that will determine the outcome. I am delivered from the hand of the devil to be a saviour to my family. I will save them from total destruction by laying down my life for them. Not my way but God's way will be my instructor. The Holy Spirit in me will instruct me. I have no fear because He is leading me. I will remain focussed on Him in me. Any distractions I will dismiss and not allow the enemy to have a foothold. I will surrender all to Him and live in His presence always. I will pray till I receive the promise. I will believe that the change that happens in me will flow to them. Thank you Lord for your mercy and grace.

A NEW HEART

The heart needs to be changed for real change to occur. All other change is superficial. God came to give you a new heart. He then put His own Spirit into your new heart. Till the heart transplant takes place you are still operating from your old heart. You cannot try and grow the new life in an old heart. A lot of conversions these days are head conversions and not heart conversions. This is why many fall away when testing times come their way. A heart transplant is required for the new life to grow and take root. It is like putting new wine in old wineskins. New wine needs new wine skins. A heart transplant provides the nourishment for the new spirit to grow and develop into the full stature of Christ. You are a new creation. Old things have passed away. Behold all things have become new. Now you operate from a new heart and a new Spirit. This is real conversion. Many are ill and poor because they are operating from their old hearts. They know what is good but fail to receive it. They die in poverty and ill health. Come to the river of life and receive a new heart today and a new Spirit.

ETERNITY IS FOR NOW

Jesus, the Name above all other names is here and will be always here. He promised His Spirit would come and make Himself present with us. He will abide in us and help us daily as we walk and talk with Him. Complete trust in Him is the only way to live. All of life is a test in trust. Either we trust in Him or walk in the flesh. To walk in the flesh is death. To walk by faith in Him is life. Therefore choose life. Walking in the Spirit is the only way you can enjoy abundant life. Any other way is walking in the flesh. No compromise for you can't walk by faith and also in the flesh. A compromised life never bears anything. It is a fruitless life. Position yourself daily to walk in the Spirit. In this way you will overcome the flesh and be living in eternity. There is no time and place for the Spirit for He is eternal and in Him you live an eternal life. This life is for now and not for later. Eternity is for now and this is what makes the difference. Imagine the power of a never ending life in the flesh. Wow!

HIS WAY

Father I come to you and ask that you may bless me with your presence and see me through this day in your strength. I am weak but you are strong. You have provided enough evidence of your love and care for your creation. I stand amazed at your provision for me and cannot but be grateful for all that you have done. Many of your people are hurting and the world is hurting. Many go here and there seeking for meaning and freedom but few find it. Many seek for what they can control and are not prepared to surrender all to you. Jesus said I am the way but many prefer their own way of salvation. This is the time for reckoning. Lord have mercy and bring many into your Kingdom. I want to be your vessel Lord of deliverance to many. Come and fill me Lord with your Spirit so that I maybe faithful to the end.

GOD'S GOODNESS

The Lord is good and His goodness is over you. He is your strength and your light. He walks with you and talks with you. He is a pillar of fire by night and guides you through your walk daily. God is good and there is no one who can replace Him. He is your Creator and in Him you will find your peace. His word is a light unto my path. His life is a spring of water to my tongue. I will speak of His mercies every day of my life. My life is hid in Him. There is no way but His way. He gives me thoughts and His thoughts are higher then my thoughts. His heart is bigger then my heart. I love Him because He loves me. His love is like no other because it is eternal and never changes. He lives in me. His Spirit keeps me strong and bold. I have no confidence in my flesh because it is worldly and keeps me in the rut. My flesh binds me while His Spirit frees me. I therefore choose to walk by the Spirit then by the flesh. For every fleshly thought, He gives me His thoughts to fight my thoughts. I love Him because He first loved me.

FAITH

Walking in the Spirit is like walking on water. You have to do it by faith. Faith is the confident expectation of things hoped for. It is the substance of things hoped for. It is the evidence of things not seen. Therefore when you move in faith you bring to existence what is not seen. What is in the heavens is brought down to earth. What is unseen is seen. Jesus walked by faith and looked to His Father and did what He saw the Father doing. You too will see into the supernatural and then see it in the natural. What is unseen is like radio waves which become sound waves when the radio is switched on. You are like a radio that catches what the spirit is doing and translate it into existence, substance, reality. Spirit speaks to spirit. Your spirit speaks to His Spirit and confirms His word with signs and wonders. Healing, wealth and salvation comes from Him. He is in you and will see through you and perform through you. Hallelujah.

AGREEMENTS

Praise God who calls you to come to Him and then chooses to reside in us. He will see through us and others will recognise Him through us. Imagine someone looking through the window of your heart? Your eyes are your window. You see through your eyes and others see you through your eyes. You could see love through your eyes or lies. When you walk in the Spirit you walk in love and feel His love and peace and joy. When you walk in the flesh you will experience all the feelings and thoughts of your flesh life. This is so simple. When you are down you must be walking in the flesh because you feel down and out. In the Spirit you never feel down and out because how could you? When the Saviour of the world resides in you all you feel is love and joy. There is no weakness or sin in the Spirit. He is pure joy and love and peace. Nothing can take Him away from you. He is your peace. Personalise every word of God and you will find yourself wanting more. His portion is yours by faith. When you feel down remind yourself whose you are. In this way you cancel all other agreements and agree with God.

HIS STRENGTH

Helpless in your own strength but helpful in His strength. This is the gospel in a nutshell. You were a sinner, helpless and hopeless but Jesus saved you and now you are hopeful and helpful. He helps you to help others. His Spirit in you is your only hope of glory. Eternity is your lot. Can money buy eternity? This is what you have gained in Christ. Now will you sit back and relax or fight to save others who are drowning and dying daily. They are doomed for an eternity in hell while you are going to heaven. How heartless can you be? No, the gospel is the power of God unto salvation to anyone who believes. The operative word is believe. I believe and therefore I am saved. I believe that Jesus is Lord and I confess that He is risen from the dead. This belief and confession results in a assurance of salvation. God's salvation is free but it is costly to the flesh. The flesh refuses to submit to His will. It always wants its own way. This is why you detest your flesh and its longings. Now you know what it is to be free in Him. In the Spirit you are free from its fleshly longings. You are free to love and not to hate. You are free to forgive and not be bound. Lord come and be a light through me to the gentiles who are lost in darkness and helpless.

SPIRIT LED LIFE

Praying in the spirit bypasses the mind and so you will be more accessible to the Spirit. You will see visions and pictures and hear Him. God works through His Spirit and you will understand with your mind. A spirit controlled mind will see and hear things differently from the fleshly controlled mind. A spirit controlled mind is under the Lordship of Jesus. The mind that is fixed on Jesus will respond to the Spirit and will act on what is revealed. In the Spirit you will have the power to do what the Spirit calls you to do. In the flesh you will try and work things out in your own strength. Be much in the Spirit. These are days when your heart will fail you if you don't spend time in the spirit. The flesh is weak but the Spirit is strong. You can choose to walk in the flesh or in the spirit. You are a spiritual being and when your senses are tuned into the spirit then you will sense things differently. This will be evidenced in the fruit you bring forth. A spirit filled life will bring forth eternal fruit. Therefore do not be lazy but spend time in the spirit as Jesus did. Hide away from the daily duties of life and spend time in the spirit. Let earthly distractions lose their attraction and delight to dwell in the holy presence of the Lord.  When your mind dwells on the cares of life, switch it off by praying in tongues.

PRINCE OF PEACE

The Prince of Peace comes to anoint you with His blessings. He is over all and He comes to bless and not to destroy. The enemy of your soul comes to steal, kill and destroy. Welcome the Prince of peace whose peace is beyond understanding. His peace is real and eternal. Men need His peace in this world where confusion and turmoil are wrecking lives. When He comes back one day will He find men of faith waiting for His return? Today you must decide to welcome Him into your heart. There is no one else worth waiting for. When you invite Him into your heart today then you receive His peace now. When He returns He will complete your healing. We are all damaged in one way or another because this world is hostile to our being. Our wholeness can be restored in Him. He created us whole but sin tarnished our wholeness and we fell to the ways of the world. The redeemed will call on the Lord in the day of trouble and will be saved. Bless the Lord O my soul and all that is within me bless His holy Name.

DOING GOD'S WILL

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done. Jesus said not my will but thine be done. This means surrender to God's authority. When we pray thy will be done, we are saying in effect that God's authority be in place. Coming under the authority of His will is releasing His Spirit to do His will. This is the best way to live, under God's authority. When  we choose to go our way then we are saying that we will do it our way. Choosing my way is to go against God' way. My way is always serving self and not God. God's way involves the sacrifice of self. It is a liberating position because I choose to trust God and His will for my life. When I let go and let God then I free God to work through me. God has chosen to work through me. Jesus looked to His Father and did what He saw His Father doing. When I surrender my will, I do the same. In this is real freedom. Come and lay your burdens at His feet and be free to do His will. All sickness and disease will have to bow to His will in your life. Try it and see. 

TRANSFORMED INTO HIS IMAGE

God is transforming you by the renewal of your mind. Your fleshly mind thinks one way, usually negative. Your spirit mind thinks like Jesus. The 2 are in conflict. The fleshly mind always thinks of what is best for self. Your spirit mind thinks of what is good for others. The shift is big and changes your outlook on life. You can only do this because you are secure in Him. Every child needs a secure base from which to launch out into the world. An insecure base leads to insecurity in relationships and the course of your life. The more secure you feel the more risks you will take. Jesus went against the thinking of the scribes and the Pharisees. This upset them but he was interested only in speaking the truth in love. He listened to what His Father had to say and He did what He saw His Father in heaven doing. This is how you operate in the spirit. Always listen to the Father and see with your spiritual eyes and you will do what you see. What a powerful change will occur. This is what it means to be transformed by the renewal of your mind.

CREATED FOR A PURPOSE

Bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is within me bless His holy Name. How good is the Lord? He is so good that even the stones want to praise Him. He is Almighty God and there is nothing too difficult for Him. He created you for a purpose and it is your responsibility to find it and do it. All you need to do is to choose to follow Him. He has given you a free will and therefore you can choose to do your own will or His will. He is a Father and therefore will not impose on you. Jesus could choose to avoid the Cross but He prayed 'Not my will but yours be done'. This should be your prayer too. This means when you come to the cross roads of life, you have to decide to carry your cross, which means dying to your will. The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy. The only way to experience this is to carry your cross daily and by this means to die to self. Respect others beliefs but still share your faith. If you don't share how will they know? The Holy Spirit will open their eyes to the Truth when you share from your heart. Don't get into arguments for reason will not convict. Only faith will convict and convert. The sword will not change hearts so don't worry when you are threatened. Now I have set you free from all burdens of the flesh and the world. You are free to be. I will use my freedom to preach Christ.

FOLLOW JESUS AND RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE

It is His presence that makes all the difference for the children of God. We are all God's children not the devil's. We were created in His image, male and female. However we were born in sin. This is why we need to be cleansed in the only remedy for sin, the blood of Jesus. This is why all have access to God and can teach and preach about God but Jesus came to show the way to the Father. There is only one God and the others are liars. Satan will counterfeit every thing that was created. His counterfeit is to deceive the world into his kingdom of lies and death. A lie will lead to death. Believe the lie and death will become your end. Believe the truth, Jesus, and life will be your portion. Jesus came to give life and that abundant. Yet many choose to follow the lie then life. Many live in the realm of reason rather then faith. The technological age trusts technology rather then God. There is an answer for everything man faces but is the answer giving life. Temporary solutions will not lead to life. It lessens the blow of the situation but never results in life. Eternal life is from God and only God can give it. Man can extend his life on earth but he will surely die. Do you have the solution to eternal life? If not look to Jesus and receive His life which is eternal. I have chosen to follow Jesus and His presence is everything to me.

SPIRIT OF JESUS

Great is thy faithfulness O Lord, my God and my Creator. Your goodness surrounds me all the days of my life. Even when I feel hard done, yet you are faithful and true. There is no one like you. Who can fathom the depth of your love. You give beauty for ashes. Great are you and greatly to be praised. My lips will sing your praises. Gratefulness nourishes the heart and strengthens my soul. Your Spirit in me makes me whole. The Spirit of Jesus has come now to help me in my time of need. He comforts me and helps me comfort others. How great it is to know that I have a Helper. He is the very Spirit of Jesus. The saints of old only knew of God's Spirit. The Holy Spirit came upon Jesus. Now the Spirit of Jesus who was with Him during his walk on earth has been sent to abide in me. What a royal anointing is this that the very Spirit of Jesus dwells in me. This was possible only because Jesus ascended to heaven. Now it is possible for Him to minister through me just as He did when Jesus was on earth as a human being. He is now a heavenly being and in Him are all things. His Spirit in me is my hope of glory just as Jesus experienced it. Now all I have to do is to walk in Him and trust Him for everything I need.

HIS RHEMA WORD

God's now word is His rhema word. This is His saying word and doing word. His rhema word performs what it says. His written word explains His truth. You need His rhema word to see the fruit of the word. The written word is like any other written word. When faith is mixed with His written word then it becomes His rhema word. However God is Spirit and He can communicate to you through His Spirit in you. When you connect with Him then His Spirit in you reveals His mind to you. Today heaven is opened to you. You have come into His presence in heaven. He touches you and anoints you and says, YOU ARE MY CHILD IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED. This is His rhema word to you. He knows the desires of your heart. He is always with you. You don't have to look for angelic visitations for His angels are with you. You have experienced them and now you must trust them by faith. God wants you to walk by faith. Only those who do not believe need to see. Seeing is an illusion. However faith in the unknown is eternal. When you have that child like faith to trust then you can ask for anything and it will come to you. His word is sent to perform and not to destroy. So come Lord Jesus and perform your word to me today.

THE SPIRIT ANOINTED PERSON

The Spirit anointed person lives a heavenly life on earth. He has no cares for he is living in the spirit. He lives on earth as one dead to the world. His flesh has no more power over him. He is like a dead man walking. Jesus walked like this on earth and therefore was sinless. It is the temptations of the flesh that make you sin. Now in the spirit you only experience love, joy and peace. You walk in the light of heaven. You experience His mind and emotions and your will is bent to serve Him. You have given up your vain imaginations and will only listen to the Spirit. All other opinions and wise counsel do not matter to you. You know who you are and where you are going. You live in the light of eternity. This kind of life will transform you as light transforms the darkness. Many will feel the light and be attracted to the light. Your whole being will be lightened and God's presence will be so real. His wisdom will guide you and many things will be revealed to you. You will accept all things and be thankful. You live in the consciousness that God is in you and He is in control and not your circumstance. Praise God that He has provided a way of escape from this corrupt world. You will see with the eyes of the spirt and hear with ears of the spirit. Everything will be sanctified in your presence as light transforms the darkness. This is the word of the Lord.

FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS

Fix your eyes on Jesus. This is the only way to tune into flow and live the abundant life. His life in you is the source of your inheritance in Christ. He has all the resources in heaven available to you. As you fix your eyes on Jesus you will diminish and he will increase. You will realise that you cannot live His life in your strength but only His strength. You will become conscious of your own weakness and His strength to overcome your weakness. The more you decrease the more He will increase. All your desires will be His desires. Your desires will conform to His desires and you will fulfil His mission for you. Your life will be lived in faith and you will not walk by sight. You will see how your new life in Christ is easy as you walk in the Spirit. There will be less tension between your self and Christ in you. You will become like Jesus as you walk His life on earth. You will truly achieve great things in His Name. You will have no confidence in the flesh and all confidence in Him. You will be a influencer and not just a spectator. God can use you for His purposes. You will rise up on eagles wings and nothing formed against you will prosper. Therefore be glad and rejoice in His salvation.

DISCIPLESHIP

Discipleship is costly. Following Jesus is costly. The main cost is to your self. The self that rules your life will need to surrender. This means surrendering your identity. Jesus said in Luke 14:33 that we have to leave all and follow Him. The call is the same today as it was then. It is 100% and nothing less. You cannot do it in your own strength. You will find that your mind will say yes but your heart will say no. It has to be a heart decision. Everything to do with the walk of faith is a heart decision. The mind will follow the heart and not the other way round. For too long you have tried to walk by faith by following your mind. Your mind reasons, your heart intuits. In the core of your being it is your heart that decides. Heart decisions are always what matters. When troubles come your mind will waver but your heart will remain steady for it is fixed on eternal values and not on circumstances. Jesus always addressed heart issues not mind issues. The opinions of man all revolve around the issues of reason. Some reasons are valid and true but do not produce life. God's word produces life for it changes the heart and heals. When there is real heart change then the mind is renewed and transformation occurs. Many have failed in their walk because they have tried to walk by reason rather then by faith. So today walk by faith and not by sight.

HEART CHANGE

The heart is the place for reformation. A heart reformation leads to life reformation. No heart change leads to no change. A change in persona does not mean a heart change. I can act differently but my heart is still the same. This is why we were given a new heart and in our new heart a new Spirit. This is creation through revelation. It is a spiritual regeneration. However we are still in our flesh. Now we live in this temporary house, our body. However our spirit lives forever. Now our spirit is limited by our body but one day we will be free from this body. Till then we will live in the body but walk in the spirit. Walking in the spirit is to walk by faith in the new life. The Holy Spirit directs us with words and pictures and emotions. This walk then translates into a new lifestyle which is Kingdom lifestyle. I am in the world but not of the world. The world and its attractions are no more a attraction to me. My mind is in heaven and so is my heart. I am seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus but my feet are on the ground. Everything I touch has a heavenly touch and heaven invades earth. I bring heaven to earth by my presence because He lives in me. This consciousness will result in holiness. I will not entertain any evil thoughts or feelings. I will direct them all to the Cross to be slain. I live in the finished work of Christ on the Cross. I live by grace and walk by faith. This is the abundant life Christ promised now and forever. Heaven on earth is my inheritance.

SUBMISSION

Appearances are deceptive. Therefore do not judge by appearances. Just like a chameleon, appearances can change depending on the context. This is part of the human dilemma. One wants to project a genuine picture but defences keep the real you hidden. When you become transparent then you become vulnerable. Yet in the Spirit you can be transparent and vulnerable and still stand. You are no more in charge but God is in charge. This is a process and it is a journey of death to self that enables the Spirit to come forth through you. Many want a quick fix but in Christ there is no quick fix. Your journey is for eternity and time is not a factor. Some get through faster then others only because they are ready to die faster. Those who have accumulated a wealth of resources and are independent of God will find the letting go harder. God is at work in them. It is better to surrender then to allow God to send crises to bend you to submission. Submission is easy when the will is willing to bend to the Spirit. Ultimately God has allowed you to decide which way you want to go. God is patient but He will not force submission. Submission must be willingly done otherwise it is not true submission. It is the submission of the heart and not the head that counts. God is always after your heart because this is what really matters. Many withhold a heart commitment although they think they are committed to His cause. Lord help me to surrender all to you.

WALK BY FAITH

Mighty is our God to save. A righteous man has great power with God. His prayers are answered. I am righteous only in Christ. My righteousness is like filthy rags. In Him alone can I claim righteousness. Without Him I am nothing. In Him I am a mighty warrior. Others will see and know. Because He is, I am. Whatever others may say in fear they will agree in secret. Therefore do not judge others by what they say. Their hearts may believe something else but their heads will say what they want others to see. This is the paradox man finds himself in. The similar state that Paul describes in Romans 7. The thing I want to do I don't do and the thing I don't want to do, I do. Who will save me from this state. Praise God in Christ I am free from this state. Now in Christ I can do what is right to do. When I do what is right then I am righteous. However I am aware of the war that is taking place in my members. I am prone to sin like everyone else. This is why I have to be conscious of God's presence all the time. Once I drift into unconsciousness then I am walking in sin. One is either God conscious or sin conscious. If I stop walking by faith then I am walking in sin, by sight. To not walk by faith is sin. Help me Lord to always be conscious of your presence, for outside your presence all I see is death.

PERSONAL GOD

Precious are the moments with the Lord. He is Jehovah Jireh, my provider. He provides for me. Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. His word is so needed for the nourishment of the spirit. Your spirit and soul are nourished through His word. Without His word you can't feed your spirit. His Spirit in you will reveal His rhema word to you. It is His rhema word that brings life. Hs word is only bread to those who can see. To see you have to believe. This is a heart belief and not a head belief. One uses your head to decide but with the heart one believes to salvation. You need your brain to process information but only through your heart can you believe. This is why emotions are so crucial to belief. When you experience His word you are connecting at an emotional level to a real person. Jesus connected with His disciples and made Himself known to them. Now He connects with you through His Spirit and makes Himself known to you personally. His written word is an account of His dealings through people like you and me. Now He does the same with you and me and you write a new epistle of His dealings with you. His dealings with you are His acts through you.

FAITH FILLED, FEAR FREE LIVING

Fear is a paralysing emotion and the main tactic of the devil. When fear enters the heart it gives the devil a foothold to create havoc. The only way to dispel fear is through faith. Fear imprisons you to a way of thinking and feeling that boxes you in. It does not allow other information to enter and therefore you are convinced that what you feel is real. However fear is never real for it is an emotion or feeling. It senses danger and is in a state of fight or flight. We need to be alert to danger but most of the fears we entertain are not real but due to misinformation. When the correct information is received then the fear dissipates. When you have had one bad experience then the only way to overcome, is to replace this with a good experience. Fear and other emotions have a powerful way of imprinting in your mind that experience. Layers of bad experiences result in distorting your perception of the world and of yourself. Any threat to you then is exaggerated by your past experience. The only way to overcome fear is through faith. Faith faces your fears and fights it, till you overcome. You are no more an undertaker but a overcomer. This is the way men of faith overcame giants and reaped rewards. The only way you can move forward is by faith. Take the risk today and launch out in faith and see your fears diminish in Jesus Name.

IN HIS PRESENCE IS LIFE

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and not in his own strength. The Lord is good and His banner over me is love. The Lord calls those who belong to Him. There is nothing that can stop Him because He is God. He is above all and when we tap into Him we are tapping into the realm of His presence. His presence is above all. In His presence is life everlasting. You have experienced a little of this but one day you will be in His presence all the time. To be in Him is to be away from this world. This world is not your home. Your home is in heaven and that is your abiding place. It seems a contradiction that you call earth home when really heaven is your real home. You will ache till you are home in heaven. Down here you will experience glimpses of heaven. One day you will be in heaven. Heaven can only be experienced in the spirit. God is spirit and there is no other way of experiencing God then in the spirit. This is why you cannot experience Him in the flesh. In the spirit you will experience the real meaning of life. In the flesh you experience only a illusion of what is real.

WALK IN THE SPIRIT

The Spirit is in you and has a mind that is different from your mind. The mind of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, goodness, gentleness and self control. Your mind is fleshly and therefore needs to come under the command of the mind of the Spirit. When you walk in the Spirit then His mind is in control. When you walk in the flesh then your mind is in control. The 2 minds are in conflict because one is centred on self and the other is in Christ. This is the warfare that is fought in your mind. Demons attach themselves to your fleshly mind and stir up jealousy and envy and pride. The lusts of the eyes and the lusts of the flesh work together with demons to keep you from walking fully in the Spirit. In the Spirit the gifts of the Spirit also flow out freely. Therefore when you walk in the Spirit the fruits and gifts of the Spirit should be evidenced. The lack of the fruits and gifts of the Spirit is due to a walk mainly in the flesh. This is why only death to self can enable you to walk fully in the Spirit.

APPLICATION

Application is the key to receiving from God. Failure to apply what you already know results in weakness. To be strong in the spirit you have to apply His Word. Application means putting into practice. When God commands us to love each other then that means we need to respect and serve others. There is no other way to love then the way Jesus loves, by laying down my life for another. I did not deserve this as I am a sinner but Jesus still died for me. His death is the reason for my life and His resurrection life now keeps me alive. This is how Jesus walked His talk. Talk only tickles the ears. It is when you walk the talk that it brings life to others. You maybe satisfied with your life but it is only when you share it with others that it becomes bread to others. Your life in isolation is no good to others. So also the treasure you have within needs to be shared for it to bring forth fruit. A seed not sown will not bear fruit. His Word spoken out in faith delivers much. The Holy Spirit in you will anoint your words to plant seeds of faith that will grow and bear fruit. Your responsibility is to sow. The Spirit will water and give growth to it. Therefore walk your talk and see abundance flow through you.

HEART COMMUNION

The heart of man is deprived because man has lost the art of communicating in the spirit. The Spirit communicates through pictures and makes the heart feel His presence. When you communicate facts rather then feelings then the heart does not comprehend. The language of the heart is intimate and arouses warm feelings. This is why good communicators are able to talk in pictures. They arouse pictures in you that communicate a message to the heart. Jesus taught using parables to illustrate the Kingdom of God. These parables were based on practical examples like the widow's mite and the prodigal son. They described a scene that resulted in a appreciation of the lesson. So also when you illustrate through pictures you are able to describe in words and communicate  your desires and wishes to another. When you lose heart you become deprived and enter into despair. Many try to fill their need for an empty heart through things and intellectual pursuits. These are all distractions. A spirit filled man fills his heart with spirit filled thoughts and feelings that enrich his soul. An enriched soul will be generous. It will love like Jesus loved by giving up His life for me. A love starved world will turn to any ism that promises to fill the need. Therefore love and reach out to those in need and let the spirit fill the need through you.

FAITH BASED ON EVIDENCE

Faith believes the impossible is possible. Faith rests in the fact that God is real and is present to help you. Faith denies the facts before you because it rests its case in God. God has said so must be its logo. This is not blind faith but faith based on evidence of God's dealings with man. What has been proved by millions is now handed down to you. Blind faith is not based on evidence. The Bible is God's evidence of His dealings with man. His dealings with Israel is to demonstrate His power and authority over all creation. Man is limited to his 3 dimensional world. God is in the 4th dimension and sees from above. It is like having a aerial view of a city rather then a view of what is before you. A study of a mass in detail is different from a study of the whole. The whole is much more complex and this where science is limited in its theories. God created the worlds and that is the only explanation that has stood the test of time. Now your belief in this will change the way you deal with His creation. Now you will see all things working together for good rather then be in despair over one small upset. You will contend with evil as a warrior for God rather then submit to evil. What is not of the light is evil and of darkness. Therefore walk in the light as He is in the light.

LIFE IS TRANSIENT

God is at work in you and all you need to do is to surrender all to Him. Your fall is a warning of how transient life is. One fall can kill you. In a split second everything can change. From being healthy and wealthy to being a vegetable. This is how transient life is. As long as you have health you think all is well. However there are millions who suffer lack and still live. They live on basic food and water. You have deluded yourself to living a secure life but warnings come to wake you up from your slumber. In God is our only hope. He sends His angels to protect us. He is so close to you that if you could see. you would marvel at the hosts of angels that surround you day and night. Evil is only restrained because of His restraining hand. Once He lifts His hand all will perish. So walk circumspectly and do not give in to the urges of the flesh. Be prepared to die any moment for life is so transient. Rejoice always and be glad for the Creator of the world lives in you.

DESPAIR

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord and does not despair. Despair is the beginning stage of depression. Despair means that you are headed for failure. When you trust in the Lord then despair turns to joy. In Him who has seen you through all the challenges to this day is able to see you through the next challenge as well. Triumphant faith keeps looking ahead and not behind. What you have achieved is worthy of praise but what is ahead is even better. Many are able to praise God for what was but few can praise Him for what is and will be. Praising God for what will be is to expect the best. He has only the best for you. You can quench all the enemies fiery darts through praising Him. You will lack nothing. Because you trust in Him, therefore your trust will turn to joy. Joy comes in the morning after the depression of the day. Always expect God to come through for you even in the darkest of times. It is your faith that will enable you to do so.

DISCERNMENT

Discernment is a gift that is essential in these days. The Word of God is sharper then any 2 edged sword piercing between the soul and the spirit. It is a discerner of thoughts. Many are trapped these days by illusions of the real. This is the counterfeit gospel. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. It has the power to save. The counterfeit gospel based on human values has no power to save. It is a feel good gospel. It rationalises sin and makes it acceptable by defining it as low self esteem. There is no need for the death of Christ to save people with low self esteem. All they need is some positive psychology. Sin is death and only a Saviour can save us from death. Jesus did this by dying on the Cross in our place and redeemed us from the curse of original sin. This curse has tarnished our psyche to the extent that we cope with this through deluding ourselves that we are better then the other. This relative stance only leads to a decline in moral values and a raping of man from his true destiny. Our true destiny is in God and for eternity in heaven. However the popular gospel that is preached is a feel good gospel for today. When sin is called by other names, then death will prevail. You can clothe death by other names but the end is still death. The only true answer to death is Jesus Christ who defeated death on the Cross for you and for me. Now we are saved for eternal life.

THE CROSS IS COSTLY

The powers of darkness are rising at this time as the end of the age nears. Men will be deluded by the forces of darkness and compromise will prevail. In every area of life, even in church, watch out for the spirit of compromise. Fleshly messages will be spoken from the pulpits. Messages to tickle the ears and not for the heart. The Cross will be despised and the gospel watered down to be good stories rather then lessons to be learnt. All across society the values that have kept the family and biblical values will be attacked. Like a frog in slowly heated water will acclimatise to the surroundings so will the church acclimatise to the world and be destroyed. Only the few will hold on till the end. Fight the good fight of faith and let your life be counted for the gospel. Are you ready to die for it? If not, you too are just a number in the masses that are going for the ride and will compromise. The flesh will refuse to die and will try to wiggle out of situations that will cost you. Have you counted the cost in following Jesus. Many who follow Him today will fall out because they followed Him for fleshly gains. The Cross is costly and will demand complete surrender. You can only do this in the spirit. Be filled in the Spirit and never lose sight of the goal of your faith, to glorify Him.

VICTIM MENTALITY

A victim mentality leads to always reacting to situations and people. Your world view is tarnished as one sees oneself as a victim. You are always on guard and sensitive to situations that may result in victimisation. You don't realise that it is your perceptions that distort the situation which results in your reactions. It is like a self fulfilling prophecy. You prejudge the person or situation and therefore react accordingly. When you judge a person or situation before getting the facts then this is what happens. A bully is only a bully in a certain context. The bully maybe a victim in a different context. Therefore do not allow your victim mentality to dictate your responses. Change it by living in the know and not in the assumed. To assume is to allow any thoughts and feelings to do with your own mental state to influence what is. What is , is neutral till you judge the situation. A half glass of water can be judged as half empty or half full depending on your mental state. When you maintain a neutral position then you will be less likely to prejudge a person or situation. Many get into trouble by making false assumptions. They then have to correct themselves once they know the facts. Neutrality in relationships enables you to relate more healthily. We are all sinners and therefore why judge another when you remain judged. You only need to judge another when you are pure and sinless. This is hypocrisy. Many box themselves due to prejudging persons and situations. You only need to judge to protect yourself. This gives you a false sense of security and esteem. Each one needs to take responsibility for their thoughts and actions. Therefore stop judging others and judge yourself first.

NEVER GIVE UP HOPE

Never give up hope and always be led by the Spirit. This is the only way to win the war. Giving up is like saying there is no hope and there is no God. Hope is what keeps faith alive. Without hope there is no meaning and purpose to life. We are all going to die one day. What hope is there in death? No hope, for that is the end and is a certain fact of life. However God provides an answer which is resurrection from the dead. He proved it through Jesus who died and rose again. Now what greater hope do you need then this? He is a fact of history and all things are ordained by Him, even life and death. Therefore when you connect with Him, you connect with life, not death. He has overcome death and the devil and disease and disorder. He is the beginning and the end. He has no beginning and no end. We are time limited but He is not as He is eternal. When you commune with the eternal then the eternal becomes you.This is the inheritance you have when you are one with Him.

HIS WAY

Prepare for the days ahead are going to be challenging. Many will turn away from following the way and will choose to compromise. Compromise promises much but delivers nothing. It is His way or no way. Christ calling is high and only a few walk in it. You have been called to walk in His way. This is your calling. He is preparing you for this walk daily. Draw close to Him and He will draw close to you. It is nothing to Him to draw close to you. He is always willing for He loves to draw close to you. In Him you are safe from the challenges of the day. The challenges are not external but internal. You are attacked in your thought life. When you distance yourself from your thoughts then you enter into the spirit. Thoughts are a illusion of the real. They are not real so why identify with them. Distance yourself from them and be still and know that He is God. In this way you will walk in the spirit and not in the flesh. Walking in the spirit is to walk with Him. Now you are free from the demands of your thoughts. Your thoughts want your attention but they are futile. They only want your attention so that you miss His attention. In His presence those thoughts have no power over you. Come now and be present in Him and see how your walk and talk become like His.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

The Kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force. Matt11:12.

As it was in the days of John the Baptist and Jesus so also now the gospel is being preached and is being attacked. The gospel is the fire of God and it turns the sinner into a saint. How powerful is that? The kingdom of darkness will resist this and it will attack every claim that it makes. Today we see this in every area of life. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation to all those who believe. God's power will topple every principality and power. It is the power of God that will save you. No other power can save you. When you see His power you will desire it and leave all to claim it as your own. Satan and his minions will resist you all the way. This is why you need to fight for the kingdom of God in His power. You cannot do it in your own strength. You have to align yourself with His power. This is achieved through fasting and prayer. In the Spirit you will be able to take the Kingdom of heaven by force. All the benefits of the Kingdom are yours but you must claim it by force. The force here is not a physical force but a determined and ernest desire to obtain all that you are destined to have. The enemy will try to rob you of these things but you have to fight him in the Name of Jesus. This is spiritual warfare.

IN THE SPIRIT

Apply yourself to His Word and to prayer and see your life blossom. His Word is the key to entrance into the holy of holies. His Word has power to change hearts. The holy of holies symbolises the heart. The outer court is the soul. When you remain in the outer court you will struggle to get near to God. It is in the holy of holies that God is present. It is like visiting your friend but remaining outside his house. It is when you enter inside the house that you really feel the difference. God wants you to commune with Him inside the house where He dwells. Outside the house is only for people who want to see what is happening and not be part of what is happening. One is a spectator and the other is a participant. Close communion with Jesus is the only way to live an abundant life. Inside the house you will operate in the spirit and not in the flesh. When you operate in the spirit your walk and your talk is in a different dimension. This is a daily walk. As long as you are in the spirit you are protected from the flesh and the devil. Therefore choose to be filled in the Spirit and to walk by the Spirit.

GOD ANSWERS

How good God is to be available at any time I call on Him. He is never slack and He answers your prayers. They may not come the way you wish but His answer is the best. Therefore I can rest and not fear because I know he holds me in the palm of His hand. What a assurance we have in Jesus that he will never fail us nor forsake us. He is a ever present living God who is not silent. He talks to me and walks with me along life's narrow way. He is my constant companion right now and for eternity. Who else do I need on earth or in heaven for He is with me. I will rejoice at all times because He takes the good and the bad and makes a tapestry of glory. I will trust in Him and not in my flesh which will die one day. My spirit will go on and live life into eternity. I will bless the Lord at all times and in His Name I am a conqueror.

THE GRACE OF GOD IS THE LOVE OF GOD

The grace of God is the love of God. Both are unconditional. How good is this? I am a testament to His grace. I just marvel at what God has done and enabled me to live life in its fullness. I would not exchange my life for anything. I have been blessed so much and I can think of nothing but the grace of God that has made it so. If this is life on earth what can I expect in heaven? The trials and tribulations are nothing compared to the blessings I have had and will have. I thank God through Jesus Christ who has blessed me with His grace and kindness. Now all I can do is just live in thanksgiving. I so appreciate His kindness towards me and I live each day in thanksgiving. It is so good to be thankful. He blesses me with daily manna. I am refreshed and made whole in Him. His thoughts flow freely through me and His Spirit makes it so. Now I know I can rely on Him for everything. Therefore I will rejoice and be glad.

WALK BY FAITH

The walk of faith is the walk of love. God made you to walk by faith because you have to trust in Him who is unseen. You trust Him even though you don't see Him. This is faith. You believe He is because you know Him in your heart. The world will not believe because they can't see and are blind. You see because your eyes of faith see. You walk by faith and not by sight. The sight you have is a spiritual sight. When you see by faith then you know what is beyond the veil. The veil hides mysteries unseen. Now you have access to what God sees and so your walk is different. You are not led by your earthly senses but by your spiritual senses. This is the difference between your walk and the walk of the world. Now you hate the things the world loves. You are an alien wandering in this world till you enter the heavenly world which is your real home.
