FAITH FILLED LIVING

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. He is worthy of all honour and praise. HE BROUGHT ME TO HIS HIDING PLACE AND I AM HID IN HIM. HE KEEPS ME IN THE PALM OF HIS HANDS AND IN HIM I AM SECURE. BLESSED IS THE LORD WHO CALLS ALL WHO HUNGER AND THIRST FOR HIM. IN HIM ARE EVERLASTING WATERS THAT NEVER FAIL. I WILL BLESS THE LORD AND GIVE HIM ALL THE PRAISE. I CAN DEPEND ON HIM FOR HE GUIDES ME ALL DAY LONG. BLESSED ARE HIS PEOPLE WHO LOOK TO HIM FOR THEIR DAILY MANNA. MANNA FROM HEAVEN IS LIKE HONEY THAT TASTES GOOD AND IS GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL. HE PERFORMS MIRACLES IN MY MIDST TO PROVE THAT HE IS ALIVE. GOD CAN DO ANYTHING THROUGH YOU WHEN YOU LOOK TO HIM. WATCH THE WORD TILL IT IS PERFORMED. MANY RECEIVE A WORD BUT DO NOT WATCH OVER IT. FAITH IS BELIEVING TILL THE WORD COMES TO PASS. THIS IS FAITH FILLED LIVING. FEAR ALWAYS PUTS YOU DOWN. FAITH ALWAYS BUILDS YOU UP. THEREFORE WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY FEAR.

ABIDING PLACE

God is good and His banner over me is love. I will praise Him all the days of my life. He is my everlasting source and in Him I am content. Blessed is the Name of the Lord and blessed are His ways. He knows the END from the beginning. His loving kindness surrounds me and I am eternally grateful. Gratitude is a mark of a sinner saved by grace. How wonderful to know that I dwell in heavenly places. The Lord is with me where ever I go. He comforts me and guides me. He is my head and I am in Him. Abiding in Him is the best place to be. In His presence is peace and tranquility. What joy is there in His presence. What more can I ask for He is mine and I am His. He is an everlasting Father and I an His child. God's plan is for all to come to Him and be His children. In Him I am made whole.

SPIRITS

Spirits are created beings that operate in the unseen world. There are good spirits and evil spirits. They both are created beings but one lot are of God and the other of Satan. These spirits invade the psyche of man and try and control them. There is a war going on in the heavenlies between these spirits. When a man of God is assailed by the evil spirits then God's spirit defends him. You are kept in Him and without Him you will be annihilated. Satan ill try and attack you but you are kept by His forces. The blood of Jesus protects you day and night. Satan will fight against souls being saved. Once you realise that the battle is in the heavenlies and not down below then you will pray more and be in the spirit more. You will put on the whole armour of God. You will discern the spiritual warfare in the heavenlies and join with God's forces to fight evil. God has given man authority on earth to fight for good. The forces of evil will use every disguise available to copy and masquerade as an angel of light. Be on guard for when the flesh takes over then you will be vulnerable to all these forces. Reckon yourself dead to self and you will not succumb to these forces of death.

BREATH

His presence is what makes the difference to your day. Knowing His presence with you will enable you to stay in the spirit all day. Come Holy Spirit and make me ever conscious of your presence. Your presence in me gives me life. Your breath is life to me. Every breath I take reminds me that I am alive. Every breath is life giving. Imagine how the spirit can breathe through you with your every breath. Breath of life breathe on me. I am alive because He lives in me. I have eternal life because His life is eternal. Death has no more power over me. I am hid in Him. He is my hiding place. I will live today to the full knowing He lives in me. I will enjoy this day because He has given me breath.

WALK IN HIS PRESENCE

The presence of the Lord is peace and love and joy. Where there is no presence there will be envy, jealousy and discord. InvIte His presence and see the atmosphere change. You carry His presence wherever you go. He lives in you and therefore when you are conscious of His presence He becomes consciously present. When you pray for healing be aware of His presence. His presence is the key to all things beautiful. In His presence you can enjoy heaven on earth. You don't have to have a high to experience His presence. His presence is always there but it is only when you become conscious of His presence that He becomes real to you. Nothing is ever impossible in His presence. Therefore invite Him today to be present in all your works. The ego will die in His presence. This is what it means to acknowledge Him as Lord. Most people are conscious of His presence only in a crisis. Walk with God and see a different quality of walk and talk.

WALK BY FAITH

His presence in you is the sure foundation of your faith. Without Him you are nothing. In Him you have the power of the Godhead within you. Now you are able to overcome the flesh and the devil because He lives in you. His home is in you. His address is in you. He has chosen to abide in you. This fact will enable you to overcome. Feel His presence as you, tune into His Spirit within you. All His gifts and fruits are operative within you. All you need to do is to step out in faith and operate in the gifts. This is how it works. Without faith it is impossible to feel His presence and do His works. This is the difference between the flesh and the spirit. The flesh walks by sight while the spirit walks by faith. Now walk by faith and do not be distracted by the flesh. Revelational knowledge brings revelational breakthroughs.

LIVING FAITH

The Lord says that His will is for His people to have faith and not to waver. During these times many will lose heart and say where is God? God is near and He is listening to the cry of His people who are desperate for divine intervention. When faith rises then God will rise and come. God is welcomed where faith is strong. Faith is the key to divine intervention. Your prayers are being heard. Just keep the faith and do not waver. He is with you and goes before you. Exercise faith all the time for then you are depending on God and not on self. Self is ready to take over when things are going fine. No even in good times it is important to walk by faith. Faith will open your eyes to the minions who are interceding for the nations. God desires that all of creation is redeemed. Pray that the forces of evil will be stayed and that the forces of God will overcome during these end times. God's people must devote their time to prayer and not to worry. Worry is a sign of lack of faith. Faith beholds the end and rejoices in it now. Keep the end in mind. It is a victorious end.

YOU ARE A VICTOR IN CHRIST

Satan attacks in different ways. His most potent weapon is discouragement. He knows that by putting you down he can discourage you. He does this through giving you negative thoughts about you. If you are not alert then you will believe these thoughts and become discouraged. He will stop you from doing things that at one time you were enthusiastic about. Stay fixed on Jesus. He is the author and Finisher of your faith. He is the One who will accomplish all things for you. He said on the Cross , 'It is finished'. Satan does not like to hear this although he knows he is finished. We must hold on to this truth and not be distracted by temporary setbacks. In these times it is best to remain in the spirit rather then walk in the flesh. In the spirit you will remain steady and not be discouraged. When you look around you there are enough things to discourage you. You must remain fixed in Him. He will make you strong during times of weakness. In the spirit the devil cannot win for he will be reminded of his end. In the flesh the devil will be victorious for he knows how to attack you. Be strong and very courageous for you are a victor and not a victim.

GOD IS IN CONTROL

God is in control of days and events that happen in the world. The tsunamis and earthquakes are the signs of the earth crying out in desperation. It is the shaking that is going on in the heavenlies that is seen on the earth. More of this will happen in the last days as the days of Satan are numbered. It is only the spiritually aware will see these things and take action. All humanity is racing to destruction. Just as in the days of Noah there is vice and sin gone out of control. Man gives in to his base desires and becomes an animal in his longings. They lust after things and sensual pleasures dictate the day. There is no thought  for the future. All is now and never. God have mercy and bring forth His  justice at this time.

DEATH

Death reminds us that life is but a whisper. We are here one day and gone the next. All the petty troubles we face won't last for long. They all come and go. We need to stay strong in times of trouble for they will also pass. No point getting upset about these things for death will end them all. When you walk as a dead man then you are not troubled by the petty things of life. All these things will pass. The best way to handle trouble is to be dead to them. They are all part of the course of life. Where there is life there is joy and sadness. Like joy sadness will also pass. What a joy to know that we live for eternity and therefore we can face anything. All we need to attend to is our response to it. When our response is in love then this will heal all things thrown at us. Things happen and they need to be faced. Face them with joy knowing that this also will pass. Like all things a new day will dawn on you with fresh things to do and experience. Life without challenges will be so boring and pointless. It is the ups and downs that make life exciting. Therefore learn to welcome the ups and downs knowing that you are in the palm of His hand.

GOD IS IN CONTROL

Times and places are in my hands and no one has control over them. I determine the seasons and the times and supply what is needed when it is needed. I am in control even though man thinks he is. What a fallacy of man that he who is a creature can determine the times. You are in control only to the extent that you have control over certain things like the money you own. You can spend it but there is a limit to your spending. What is not yours you have no control over. When you realise that what you have can be removed from you then you have come to the realisation of the temporal nature of things you own and have control over. This realisation will propel you to seek for a higher cause for your existence. This is what makes man seek after God and spirituality. There is no other way for man to go when he comes to the end of the road. Death will stare him in his face and he will be powerless to do anything. The flesh will die but the spirit will live on. All that you see is temporary and all your attachments to these things should be likewise, temporary. Your only safe hiding place is in God. In this place you have the security and peace that no man can rob you of.

WALK LIKE JESUS

I want to be like Jesus. What does this mean? This means that you want the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Jesus to possess you. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. He was able to do what He saw His Father doing. He now says you can do the same and greater works because His Spirit dwells in you. Our puny minds can't comprehend this but those who dare to believe will see. Once you have tasted of the heavenlies then nothing earthly can have its sway over you. We exchange the temporal for the eternal when we walk in the flesh. In the Spirit we will always seek for the eternal. Today seek to be filled in His Spirit and you will walk like Jesus.

LIKE JESUS

How great to know that God actually lives in you. God has come to take residence in your heart by His Spirit. His Spirit dwells in you. The Spirit of Jesus dwells in you. If this is true then you should be reflecting His Spirit through you. Ask what spirit possesses me? If not the Holy Spirit then who is possessing me? The Holy Spirit indwells the human spirit. The human spirit was once dead but in Christ has been born again. Now the Holy Spirit has a dwelling place to dwell in. When the Holy Spirit is acknowledged then He will control you. If His presence is not acknowledged then your ego or human spirit is in control. The ego has to die as a living sacrifice for the Holy Spirit to have total control. This process of death comes as I choose to let go and let God rule in my life. It is not easy but the Holy Spirit will help me when I let Him take charge. All I need to do is say Come Holy Spirit and take charge. His Spirit will then take charge and your responses will be like Jesus. This is to be like Jesus. You are not controlled by outside forces or your ego. You feel at one with Him. Daily practice this and see your walk and talk become more like His.

TAP INTO THE ETERNAL

God is a visionary. He created the whole world through vision. He can see the end from the beginning. He formed the worlds by the word of His mouth. He formed you and established you. He knew you from the beginning. This is your God. You have the same ability as God as you were created in His image. Now you can create too out of nothing. This is how diseases are healed and new things are formed. We call it a mutation but it really is a new creation. So the whole world was formed but science can't believe it and therefore comes up with an alternative explanation. Explanations are alright if they are true.But most explanations are just opinions. Opinions change with the times. They are not fixed truths because they are based on what is known and not on what is unknown. This is where faith comes in and enables you to tap into the mysterious and make what is impossible, possible. It is this kind of faith God is looking for today. When you tap into the eternal then it becomes material in the now. This is what becomes substance. God became substance when He came in the form of Jesus and walked on earth. Today walk out your faith by tapping into the eternal.

MY ROCK

How good is the Lord that He takes care of His own. Troubles come and go but the Lord is the strength of my life. He is ever present in times of trouble to see you through it. He is a Comforter and Friend. He is present all the time. Even when you do not feel Him He is near. He is the silent witness in every conversation. He is the Alpha and Omega of your faith. It is your faith that connects you to Him. Without faith there is no connection with Him. Faith believes and decides that he is a loving Father. Faith does not let go but hangs on to the fact that He is. He is present and He is able to see me through all my troubles and at the end to stand. This is my God who promises and delivers. He is not like the wind that comes and goes. Rather He is like a Rock that withstands the winds and the storms and still stands. I am connected to the Rock of Ages and in him I will put my trust.
