ANGELS

Watch and pray for the devil is watching who he can attack with his weapons of warfare. His weapons are spiritual and not carnal. He is a master in trickery and he will persuade you to give up the cause. You are not alone for His angels guard over you. The best place to be is in complete surrender to Him. In His presence you can be yourself. No need for masks for He is your rear guard. You only have to wear a mask to avoid the real. You can be real when you accept yourself and not have to be what others expect you to be. Now you can live freely for He who lives within you is greater then he who is outside. The enemy of your soul lives outside you and he cannot touch you for you are protected by His army of angels. They are the unseen agents whose job is to guide and protect you. They are the messengers that work night and day to bring you messages and deliver your requests to Him. They are ministering spirits that comfort and encourage. Therefore be bold and do not fear the evil one who can only make noise but is powerless otherwise. Jesus has finished the task and now you are free. Burdens are lifted at Calvary and so you have no more burdens to carry.

TRUE FREEDOM

What a blessing awaits those who wait on the Lord. The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and a lover of souls. Those who thirst for Him will find a place where their thirst will be quenched. Ask anything in my Name and I will do it. This word comes with a promise. Your faith must expect without doubting and that which you ask for will be received. Some have found the secret of faith touching heaven to receive the gift. All you have is a gift. You think you have earned it but really it is a gift. Once you realise this then you are free from what you think you have. You have nothing and this is the best way to live. I have nothing but He has everything and I belong to Him and therefore I have everything. No attachments to things but I can use things for the extension of His Kingdom. Enter into the riches of heaven. Do not be taken up with the world's system of government. Rather be in tune with His Kingdom and government and be free.

SECURITY

God is in control. He holds your future in his hands. Never take your eyes of Him and you will feel safe and secure. He is the Rock of all ages and in His hands everything will be safe and secure. Your security is in him and not in things made. Things made are temporary. It is only when you have eternity in mind that you will seek for things above then from below. Death and the face of death will force you to welcome eternity as a reality. You will begin to think God thoughts and dwell among angels. This is heaven where angels and saints converse and dwell. You look forward to this place and earth is just an illusion. Heaven becomes your reality and all your desires and wishes are for what lies ahead. You have no more attachment to things below for your heart is fixed in Him. In Him all your earthly desires are met. You feel you are at home on earth as if you are living here in heaven. Heaven begins here despite all the stresses and pressures of life. The Kingdom of God is within you and therefore it does not matter where you are, you are always at home. Hallelujah for Our God reigns.

WORD BECOMES FLESH

The word of the Lord is sharper then any two edged sword. It can divide and separate that which is of the Lord and that which is of the flesh. It is a discerner of the soul. Therefore meditate on his word and see how your mind will get sharpened. The word of the Lord is spirit and life. There is life in the word. It is like a seed planted and when watered will produce fruit of its kind. When you need peace then meditate on words of peace. The peace of the Lord will fill you. It becomes flesh to you. This is what it means to flesh out His word. Unless the word becomes flesh it is not tangible. What is tangible is seen and felt. God created the worlds through His spoken word. He spoke and the worlds were formed. So also when you speak His word of peace then you will feel His peace. Your tongue is a creative force. It can create out of nothing, something.

ABIDE IN CHRIST

God is merciful and gracious yet a God of justice. He knows what you need to enable you to be the best. He will bring you to the place of total submission so that you may receive His best. The flesh will want to work it out in its own way. The Spirit will work through in His way. His way is not hard. His yoke is easy and His burden light. Yet you prefer to carry the burden of your life and do it your way. God will allow this till you come to the place of surrender. This is the place to be detached from all earthly attachments and be fully immersed in the Lord. This is the place of death to the flesh life. What freedom and release you experience when you come to this place of death. Yes death is the ultimate freedom you will experience of the flesh. This is why Paul said he would rather be in heaven then in the world. Those who faced trials in the flesh also want to be free and so are not afraid of death. Till then you have to daily choose to die that you may live. Die to the flesh and live in the spirit. This is the only way to abide in Christ.

HE LIVES IN YOU

You are the temple of the living God. You are His residence. God's address is you. Some ask, where is God? God says he lives within you. What a wonder is this? God is everywhere and He is also in you. This is incomprehensible, yet true. God is a personal God yet he is omniscient. We cannot reduce God to our terms and conditions. This is why man seeks for God in every nook and corner. Yet God says He lives within us. We can touch Him and feel Him. Today live in the consciousness of His presence within you. He is the Creator of the whole world yet he lives in you. Imagine the creative power you possess because He lives in you. Jesus could do the things He did because God was in Him. He was one with His Father. You are one with your Father in heaven. What potential resides in you. It only takes a shift in your thinking to realise this and be renewed and empowered by His eternal presence.

HIS PEACE

He will keep him in perfect peace who fixes his mind on Him because he trusts in Him. Isaiah 26:3. What a powerful verse in times of trouble. The mind will wander hither and thither but when I choose to fix my mind on Him then I will experience His peace. His peace passes all understanding for it is a deep peace that cannot be bought. Faith trusts in the Lord and His plans and not man's plans. His plans have been there from the beginning. All I am doing is living out His plans when my mind is fixed on Him. I cannot expect to fit into His plans when my mind is fixed on other things. I am here to fulfil His plans for my life. The devil will try and rob me of my inheritance but He will give me peace as I trust in Him. My mind is fixed on Him and He will guard and guide me to fulfil my destiny. My destiny is in him. I am complete in him. Therefore as long as my eyes are on Him there is no need to fear or be anxious. I experience His peace.

WALK IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF GOD

What a glorious God we have. He is beyond compare. He is a personal God and we have a relationship with Him like no other. He is with us all the time. Be conscious of His presence and rejoice. When you are conscious of His presence then you become conscious of His cleansing power. Walking in the Spirit you will be aware of the evil in this world. You will walk in the light as He is in the light. The darkness will not invade you. Many walk in darkness because they are unconscious of His presence. God is near and he desires to walk with you. However you are so taken up with yourself that you are unconscious of His presence except when you are in His presence. God is present all the time. You are absent most of the time.  This is why you walk in darkness and not in the light. Practice the conscious presence of God and see a difference in your talk and your walk. You become the voice of God when you walk in His presence. This is the way to walk in the light as He is in the light.

live by the word of god.

Either you can live by the word of God or live by the word of the world. You choose? The word of God is  not just a rule book but a spirit inspired word that will charge your spirit and bring life to your body and soul. It is like manna to the soul. You can feed on the rubbish the world offers and you will exhibit that rubbish in your life style. The world is driven by greed and greed will sap your energy. It will produce all kinds of disorders and disease. The word of God sanitises and cleanses you. It is like water that is poured over you. Wash your soul with the word of God and be cleansed in your inner parts. Faith in the word of God will produce a bountiful harvest.

FLOW

Precious is the Lord and His countenance shines through the day. He blesses you and showers His love over you. He knows what you need and as you enter into the holy of holies you become what He wants you to be. The Lord works through His Spirit and your spirit receives His touch. Your spirit then informs your mind and body of the same. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. Flow occurs when you connect with Him. His ideas and thoughts flow through you. This is a different source of knowledge then the one you have learnt. Now you are getting comfortable with His source of knowledge and wisdom. You are growing on the inside and there is nothing that is going to stop you. Blessed be the Lord who gives freely to all who ask.

GOD OF THE IMPOSSIBLE

Prepare for the Lord is coming soon. His coming is sooner for those who are dying. God's promises are true and they will come to pass in His time. His time is not our time. A day is like a thousand years to Him. In His presence there is no time or space. In His presence is eternal life. Eternal is never ending as there is no beginning. Trying to reason spiritual concepts is like reducing what is air to a thing. Like breath, spirit cannot be be held. Air can be captured in a bottle but that does not explain it. The wind blows but we do not know where it comes from or where it goes. Until we see God as one who encompasses all things we are limited by our own thinking. This is why those who believe must trust Him and not reason with Him. His ways are higher then our ways. Once we understand this then we will expand to a level of no limits. We limit God to our thinking and therefore reduce Him to our measure. God is without measure and therefore He is able to do the impossible things that contradict the laws of nature. He heals diseases and he raises dead people. He moves mountains and He saves people from disaster. God is able to do the impossible when you allow Him to.

HEART CONNECTION

Heart worship is different from head worship.Heart worship is deep and comes from within. It is like reading a book and experiencing what you read. Love is not just a word, it is to be experienced. You can't experience love by reading about it. You need to feel it. This is the difference. God so loved the world must become personal. God so loved me. I can experience God's love because He is real. All I need to do is believe. I believe and so I feel and I experience His love. My emotions are stirred up and I become love. My words and actions and behaviour become loving. What you read about in word becomes real to you. This is what it means to be born again. You experience His forgiveness and sense the peace and freedom He gives, when you repent and are set free. This is real and not just an experience. An internal change occurs. You sense His love and peace. Your whole being resonates with his love. When head knowledge becomes heart knowledge then you know what you know is deep. You know a person when you unite with him/her at a heart level. Head knowledge never delivers what you really need. It is the heart that connects and sustains relationships. Without heart involvement your experience is just letters and not substance.

INVEST IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD

Attachments to things diminishes your sensitivity to the spirit. This is why Jesus said it is very difficult for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God. Riches blind man to the spiritual world for all his needs can be met here. It is only the hungry who cry out to God for sustenance. The rich are not hungry and they are content with their lot in life. They have been blinded by the god of this world to their spiritual inheritance. Your spiritual inheritance in Christ is eternal. Therefore invest in the Kingdom of God and see how your investment grows. When you invest in love and joy and peace then these will grow. When you invest in things then these will grow. Patience grows in this when exercise patience. All the gifts and fruits of the Spirit are released as you invest in them. God is no debtor to man. He will multiply what is invested. When you give away then what you give away will be multiplied to you. This is the principle of the Kingdom. Make sure you give away a blessing and not a curse. What you sow you will reap. Bless all your works and see a multiplication in your blessings.

LIVE IN THE SPIRIT

Praise God who gives freely and blesses all who come to Him. You are such a loving God and you love your people and want them to have a full life. Yet the nature of man is such that conflict appears to be the rule of the day. Ego battles are common and the spirit is left behind. When the ego takes over then all sanity goes out of the window. The driving force behind every battle is a ego driven emotion. This fuels the conflict and the ego enjoys the fight. It is as if the ego thrives on conflict. The ego defines its existence through conflict. Without conflict the ego feels deserted and alone without an identity. Conflict appears to be the way the ego defines its territory. The spirit on the other hand thrives in love and peace. It denies the ego its rights. It lays down its life for the other. It desires to see others flourish then fail. These 2 opposite forces fight for attention. Only when the ego dies will the spirit be able to gain ascendence. Die to your ego and live in the spirit which is life abundant.

IN CHRIST

Prayer is your lifeline to God and to His gifts and fruits. All you have is from God. You need to live like that. When you get attached to things then you feel that you own things. Detachment means that you don't own anything. All you have is from God. Freely you have received, freely give. This is the place to be and this is the freedom that Christ promised. To be truly free from all these things is to be totally surrendered to God. Ultimately these things are just things to make you comfortable in this life. However this life is just a temporary journey and a stage in your eternal journey. This is why you need to keep your mind on things above, eternal and everlasting. When you keep your mind on eternal things then your life on earth will have a eternal quality to it. You don't think and feel like everybody else who is focussed on things temporal. Your goals and meaning for life changes and you become resilient and strong. Christ has bought your freedom. Now live like a saint and believe that all things are yours in Christ.

POSSESSED TO POSSESS

God is able to move mightily through you as you give all to Him. He is God and He will move as He hears the cries of His people. You must first believe that He is able. Then you must put your trust in Him. There is no other way to tap into His riches. God has promised riches abundant but His people are satisfied with the crumbs from His table. Why have a beggar mentality when you are a son? Shift your thinking and you will shift your destiny. You need to renew your mind and be transformed. There is so much in store for you. The timing is dependent on your shifting from one state to another. Those who take the shift will reap the rewards. Many are happy with their familiar state and therefore never change. Change comes as you step forth and claim your inheritance in Christ. Come Holy Spirit and possess me so that I can be a vessel of delight for you.

WORK WITH YOUR HEART

Purpose in your heart to serve the Lord with all your heart. Heart service is what God is after. Where your heartis not involved then you will only receive a head blessing. When you operate from your spirit then spiritual blessings will flow.A head belief results in a head answer. A heart belief results in a heart answer. Belief that is heart generated results in your whole being, being involved in an activity. Soul winning is a heart decision. It cannot be achieved through head knowledge. Many try to win souls through argument but it only results in head conversions. A true conversion is a heart conversion. Therefore work with your heart and decide with your head.

CRISES

The measure of a man is seen in times of crisis. A crisis brings out the best or worst in man. A crisis is a threat to your normal mundane life. In your normal life you feel you are in control although this is an illusion of control. In a crisis all your faculties come into action and are tested. Some break down in a crisis because their faculties fail them. They become disoriented and lost. Some go into a altered state of consciousness. Some may even die of shock. A feeling of numbness pervades your being. You have difficulty processing your thoughts. Then after a while your senses slowly become awakened. You begin to become time conscious while before time was suspended. You begin to make sense of what has happened. You take reparative action to stabilise yourself. You have to do it. The structures around you will support you but ultimately you have to cope. Many give up during this process and withdraw. Others will become chronically ill. Yet others will rise up stronger and more determined then ever. The whole process takes time and each individual is different. With God on your side you will be able to face anything at anytime.

PRAISE GOD

Praise God who supplies answers in my time of need. He is a Father who wants His children to be happy. His joy is deep and it refreshes like no other. In His courts are delights that satisfy like no other. Praise Him from whom all goodness flows. Satan is out to fool you. He will attack but God is your secure place. His angels will guard over you and protect you. His shield will protect you from the fiery darts of the enemy. Free flow of knowledge and wisdom will encapsulate you. In Him you will have manna for the day to feed you. In Him all your diseases will be healed. In Him alone is there righteousness and life. When your eyes fail you He will give you sight. When all leave you He will be beside you and comfort you. Therefore be filled in the spirit and led by His Spirit and you will conquer your enemies. Trust in the Lord and be bold.

JUDGEMENTS

Stay neutral to a situation and God can intervene. When you make a judgement you close the situation and bind it. When you keep it open then other forces can intervene. When you judge a person then that person is bound. When you lose the person from your judgements of him/her then you allow God to intervene. These judgements are passed towards each other to enable you to defend yourself. No one likes to be seen as inferior to another. When you judge a person it is usually negatively. Why? because this makes you superior to the other. This gives you a feeling of satisfaction. It is your ego's need to be above another that makes you do this. It is human nature to put a person down. All this is from the sin of pride. Being neutral enables you to entertain the positives about a person. Judgements always preclude aspects of a situation. You put your blinkers on through your judgements and thus bind the person or situation which will not change. Neutrality allows for other possibilities and therefore solutions.

LIFE IN THE SPIRIT

LIFE IS BUT A SPECK OF DUST IN THE OVERALL SCHEME OF CREATION. YET MAN THINKS HE IS THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE. HOW BLIND AND DEAF CAN MAN BE THAT HE HAS LOST SIGHT OF THE UNIVERSE THAT SURROUNDS HIM. HE IS DELUDED BY HIS OWN INTELLIGENCE AND FAILS TO SEE THAT HE IS FROM DUST AND TO DUST HE WILL RETURN. ONLY WHEN A PERSON CONFRONTS THE REALITY OF DEATH WILL HE FIND HIMSELF. DEATH IS THE ONLY REALITY THERE IS, FOR LIFE WILL PASS AWAY SOME DAY. THIS IS A SOBER THOUGHT. WITHOUT DEATH THERE IS NO REALITY. THEREFORE MAN LIVES IN AN ILLUSION OF REALITY. SOME WHEN THEY ARE CONFRONTED WITH THE REALITY OF DEATH GIVE UP AND LIVE AS IF THERE IS NO TOMORROW. OTHERS BEGIN TO REASSESS THEIR PRIORITIES AND BECOME ALTRUISTIC. IN THE SPIRIT THERE IS NO DEATH BECAUSE THE SPIRIT LIVES ON AFTER THE EARTHLY BODY DIES. THIS IS THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT. IN THE SPIRIT YOU TOO CAN LIVE IN A REALITY THAT IS ABOVE THE SENSUAL. IN THIS REALITY YOU COMMUNE WITH GOD AND LIVE LIKE A MAN RAISED FROM THE DEAD. THIS IS THE REALITY JESUS OBTAINED FOR US WHO ACCEPT HIS LIFE. NOW WE CAN LIVE IN THIS REALITY DAILY TILL WE GO HOME TO BE WITH HIM IN HEAVEN. HEAVEN ON EARTH IS THE REALITY THAT CHRIST OBTAINED FOR US. WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT AND FACE THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE IN THE SPIRIT. WE ARE SPIRIT BEINGS WALKING ON EARTH. THIS IS ABUNDANT LIFE.

TRUST IN THE LORD

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord. He will have his barns full and overflowing. God is good and His goodness can be seen everywhere. What a great privilege it is to serve the Lord. He is a Comforter of souls. What comfort He gives to those who travail and are distressed. In Him is a hiding place where you will feel secure and blessed. Blessed are those who trust in Him and look to Him for comfort. How I love the Lord and he is the nourisher of my soul. In Him alone I will trust and in Him alone is my hope. My faith is in the Lord and in Him I am content. All the vicissitudes of life cannot take away His love and peace from me. Fear the Lord and live as if it is your last day. He can remove your breath in a second. Who is there but the Lord and He is the breath of life. I will praise Him and cherish Him all the days of my life. In His courts will I dwell and His praises sing.

HOW GREAT THOU ART

What a God we worship. He is the Creator of the sun, moon and stars. As we gaze up we will see His handiwork and marvel at His works. How great is our God and greatly to be praised. Yet He made man and came down in the form of man and dwelt among us. What an act of humility to identify with the state of man and then to be crucified for his sins. Now I identify with His sacrifice on the Cross and am free. What greater love can a man show for another but in laying down his life for another. Scripture verses will flow through you as you allow the Holy Spirit to speak through you. It is His word that changes things. Yes things visible and invisible. Speaking forth His Word in faith will change the very state of your environment. Permeate your environment with love and the seeds of hate will wither and die. Only love can heal a broken heart. There is no other remedy for the works of darkness. This is why God had to come down in the form of man. Hallelujah I want to shout to out from the mountain tops that our God reigns.

CLEANSING IN THE BLOOD

God is at work in you. All you need to do is tune in to Him. He is available to all who will call on Him, the sinner and the saint. God is not partial to anyone. He judges by the heart and not on behaviour. The heart of man is wicked and has to be cleansed from all its evil intentions. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse a man's heart. Man can accommodate to his sins but there is no deliverance from it. Man has pursued ways to overcome but only the cleansing blood of Calvary can cleanse it. Therefore surrender your heart to Him and be cleansed. Once cleansed you will feel a different person. Your thoughts and feelings will be different. The sins of the fathers will infiltrate the children. Therefore the children need to be cleansed as much as the fathers. Parents have a responsibility to cleanse themselves as they will then be channels of cleansing for their children. The seed cleansed is a wholesome seed. Sin has infiltrated all areas of life. All the vessels in the house need to be cleansed. In the ever living blood applied by the Holy Spirit cleansing will be possible. Never under estimate the power of the Spirit to cleanse and make whole. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain for the sins of the world.

FREE WILL

God's purpose in all creation is to create a community of love and not hate. Without the challenge of hate there would not be a contrast that can give love a platform for change. Jesus lived in an environment where he caused hate to be seen that led to His death on the Cross. On the Cross He displayed true love by willingly surrendering His life. His blood then was available for the cleansing of mankind from every form of hatred. Yet man rejected this and preferred to love in their own strength. God supplies His strength but man prefers to live life without God. He hates God and blames Him for all the evil. Satan is not recognised as the author of all evil. God created Satan and therefore he is to be blamed. Yet God gave all creation free will to choose and they chose to live life apart from Him. Living your life apart from God is evil. This is what Lucifer chose to do. In doing this he chose evil over good. Today you can choose to live according to God's will or your will. The choice is yours. Evil is ready and willing to usurp the place meant for God. In God's Kingdom righteousness and peace will rule. In Satan's kingdom strife and hatred will reign. Today cleanse your vessels and be united with His Spirit and drive out all the demons that have usurped your temple.

GIVING UP SELF

Giving up things for God is easy. Giving up self is hard. The disciples gave up everything but it was only after the death on the Cross that they despaired of everything and gave up themselves. Despair is a good thing if it leads to giving up self. Despair is the state of utter helplessness when only God can rescue you. When you despair of yourself then you will be able to hear God more clearly. When all other voices have died because self no longer relies on them, then God can come through. Self keeps listening to these other voices because they support the egoic self. When self is given up, then there is no internal agent to support these other voices. God's voice then comes through clearly. This is the key to a closer walk with God. In unison you will hear His voice and then you will desire to hear no other voice but His voice. Self is dead to the world and the things of the world. All those things that attracted you at one time don't have a sway over you any more. You are dead in Christ. The life you now live, by faith in the Son of God, who loves you and gave His life up for you. This is abundant living in the Son. This is the road to heaven.

FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS

Wisdom is given by God and it is wisdom that will guide your way. He is your wisdom. When you rely on Him who lives in you then He will guide you. Many things will happen around you but you must fix your mind on Jesus. When you fix your mind on Jesus then everything else will fall into place. This is a choice you have to make daily. This is like carrying your cross daily. Death to self is the only way to be happy in Jesus. The flesh is insecure and will want external things to feel secure. Your security is internal and in the spirit. Wherever you maybe your security comes in knowing Him and abiding in Him.There is no greater security then this. Praise God that He has chosen you to be His and now you can rest in His arms and be content. Contentment is a state of bliss. In it you will be able to surmount any mountain. The Lord is with you and His angels will guide you through each day. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

GOD'S VOICE

The Lord is good and He will speak through you and think through you. When you walk in the fullness of the Spirit you will be aware of the sound of His voice. His voice is gentle and there is no pressure in it. His voice appears to be external to your own voice. It is as if a third person is speaking. This is how you know it is His voice. When you feel agitated and under pressure then it is a sign that it is not His voice. His voice is calm and gentle and there is no pressure to do. When you feel the pressure then it is time to wait and see rather then rush into doing things. How good it is to know that He will commune with you at all times. When you don't hear Him and He appears to be silent then too is time to wait. He will come through at the right time. Wait and let Him lead you. You have surrendered all to Him and now you can sit back and rest. He has you in the palm of His hand. Rest in this position and you will feel His comfort and joy. The Lord is good and His mercy endures forever.
