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.
