FAITH IN HIS PROMISES

No weapon formed against me will prosper. God has made His promises not to be hung on walls but to be believed and received by faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the assurance of things to come. O how good it is to trust in The Lord and not in man. The promises of man are only as good as the weather. The weather changes and the promised rain never comes. God's promises are backed by Pis Name and authority. His authority is as Creator and the creator can do anything. He can hold back time as He is eternal, no beginning and no end. Now who else better to entrust my life to then He who created me and knows all about me even more then me. To Him be all praise and glory. Therefore I will seek His face and turn from my wicked ways and be cleansed by His blood and approach His throne guiltless. Father into your hands I commit my Spirit was the last words of Jesus on the Cross. May these be my last words when the time comes for me to meet Him face to face.

WAS JESUS AN ASPIE?

An ASPIE is a person with a social/Communication disorder and repetitive, ritualised behaviours and special interests. He/she is very rigid in his/her thinking and likes rules and routines and is averse to change. Lot of their thinking is in black and white terms and they exercise very little imagination. Jesus came to overturn the rule bound religion of Judaism. The Jews were proud of their religion and the Pharisees prided themselves in keeping to the minituae of the law. Jesus came to show us a new way to live and that abundantly. His way was above the law because it was by His Spirit and not by flesh. The flesh likes to keep rules and is very judgemental. Jesus way is by faith and full of grace. Jesus spoke in parables and so the listeners had to use their imagination to interpret them. An ASPIE would find this very confusing and pointless. Jesus spoke the truth but the truth was veiled to those who were blind and could not interpret the meaning. He said things like it is more difficult for a rich man to get to heaven then a camel through the eye of a needle. Such statements would be confusing to an ASPIE who would interpret this literally. Therefore I would say that Jesus would not fulfill criteria for an ASPIE.

THE GIFT OF SALVATION

Happy is the man who trusts in The Lord. He is like a house built on a rock which will not be shaken. What a inheritance waits a man who builds on solid foundations. He will rest all the days of his life for He knows He who keeps him will never fail. God promises eternal life to all who will call on His Name. Yes The Lord promises and He will deliver. Believe and you shall be saved. There is no if about it. Salvation is assured. Why reject something that you can receive by accepting a gift. This is the gift of salvation. Yet man chooses to reject this offer and find his own way of salvation then receive His gift. This Christmas please accept His gift of salvation and receive eternal life in Him.

SHINE JESUS SHINE

My Jesus, My Saviour and my Lord. I worship you with all that I am and behold you as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. There is no one like you. You are from the beginning and in you are all things. What a name above all names. In your name all things have their being. In your name the heavens are held together. The earth trembles and shakes but at your word they are held together. It is marvellous to know that in you all things are held together. You know the times and the seasons. You decide who rises and falls. You have all things in control although at times it seems hopeless. Those who have stayed the course know that you are faithful to the end. I love you Lord and I want to be possessed by your Spirit so that I can shine your light brightly in this darkened world. Come Lord Jesus and shine your light through me today.

CHRISTMAS

It's a bright morning and it is Christmas Day. This day we remember the greatest gift God gave to mankind. In fact all creation celebrates this day because He came as a sin offering for all. He came to redeem the world and this includes all creation which groans with pain. All creation was created by God and suffers violence. All creation groans till the day of redemption. Meanwhile we suffer pain and are afflicted by sin and troubled from all sides. Yet here is our hope that He came down from heaven to redeem us and save us from sin. All creation rejoices at the coming of the Son. This is the day of deliverance and we await the second coming when all the promises of God will be fulfilled. Now we may suffer for a while but then we will be with Him forever.

THE FATHER LOVES YOU

Precious is the One who calls you His own. He walks with you and talks with you and calls you by name. He is your Father in heaven who knows your name. He comforts you and guides you. He sows His thoughts into you so that you know it is Him. His thoughts are above all. He gives you those thoughts that make you soar like an eagle. They are now thoughts, revelational thoughts. This is like fresh manna you receive daily as your daily bread. You wait for His now word to you like you wait for fresh food for your daily bread. This is so exciting and refreshing. His now word to you today is to wait and be bold for The Lord your God is for you and not against you. Love like you have never loved before because the Father loves you.

GOD'S WORD IS FINAL

The Word of God is my standard and nothing else can take its place as the plumb line. God's word is the last word. I believe this and this then dictates my actions. Today there is no standard the world can look to contain its waywardness. All is relative and nothing is fixed. This means that boundaries can be pushed to any limit as there is no limit. This makes it difficult to then make decisions based on ethical issues as morality is relative to the context. Some cultures allow incest while others reject it. How does one culture impose its values on another. This is the battle that is going on in all facets of life. The Muslims think they have the truth and want to introduce sharia law. The west opposes this as feral but tries to accommodate and in this process compromises and isolates a section of society. What was once taboo is no longer so. What has changed? Influences have changed and the word of God has taken a back seat. When this happens the foundations of society begin to crumble and in this process everything else begins to crumble and die. Only a Holy Spirit revival can stem the tide of destruction and halt the process of decay. Lord come and be my filter that I may stay true to your word.

RULES AND LOVE

Great is The Lord and greatly to be praised. He is the lily of the valley, the bright morning star. In Him are all things and nothing can separate you from His love. His love is constant and in Him all things are made new. He is the author and finisher of your faith and in Him all things dwell. Man thinks in terms of rules but God thinks in terms of love. The two produce different results. One is a rule book and the other is a life eternal. What is the point of a rule book unless it can produce life . So also in this world we find two kinds of people. One lot are rule bound and the other lot are love bound. It is like the sons of Hagar and the sons of Sarah. The sons of Hagar are never going to inherit eternal life. They look like the sons of Sarah but their destiny is hell. Therefore watch and do not be like the rule bound children of Hagar who are illegitimate and not of the same seed as Sarah. Faith produces children of Sarah. Today let faith arise and live like there is no tomorrow.

COVERINGS

Adam and Eve were naked in the garden of Eden and were not ashamed. It is only when they disobeyed that they became aware of their naked state and were ashamed and hid themselves with fig leaves. How true it is today that we need to hide ourselves through different coverings rather then be naked. Sin causes us to cover up rather then show up. Some of us are so well covered up that nobody knows the real me not even me. We role play through life and the roles we play take over our identity. No wonder when we face a life event or loss that our cover ups fail sometimes to cover us and we see our naked self. We crumble and seek for more cover till we die. In death we don't need any cover for we return to earth naked.It is the layers of covers that separate us from each other. Take off the covers and all we have is no different from the other. Jesus came to take the covers off so that we can come to the Father and be ourselves. In nakedness we came to Him and He accepted us. May God open our eyes to see each other in the same way and not let the covers separate us. Lord open my eyes to see that I may be made whole.

MY MASTER AMD LORD

When Jesus is Lord then all else is second. He is Lord is the place to be then no other lord can lord it over you. He is Lord must be the song you sing first thing in the morning and last thing at night. He is Lord means there are no other gods before you. No other gods can take His place when He is Lord. The Lord is Master of all. It is to Him you have committed your life and no other life can take His place in your life. He is the author and finisher of your faith. You have committed your life to Him and now you are a slave to Him. Your slavery is not by command but by choice. You gladly be a slave for you know this is all you can do for His death on the Cross for you. This is love that will die that you maybe saved. I commit my life to Him because He has chosen me to be His. He chose me first.

LORD OF ALL

Christ is all in all and He is the Saviour of your soul. What does it mean to be Christ centered? It means that Christ, meaning Saviour,is in the control seat of your life. When He is in control then all your living becomes a glorious offering of praise to Him. This is what He desires but few desire to make Him Lord.They fear that making Him Lord means loss of control. How foolish can we be. He has given us all things to enjoy yet our idiot box says, no, He will deprive you of all things. This is a constant battle between your own thoughts and His thoughts.You have to fight the battle daily to grow strong and sufficient for the day of battle. He is with you in your battles and He will give you victory when He is Lord. Come weary one and commit all to Him and be saved.

IN HIM IS EVERLASTING JOY

The mercy of The Lord is great. He is our everlasting Father and He knows and hears our cry. Many languish in fear because they have no one to turn to. The Lord knows those who are His and they will rest in Him. God is good and those who seek Him will find Him. Many seek for gold and riches but when you find Him,He is all you will need. No amount of gold can buy what He can give. He gives peace and joy and this money cannot buy. Trust in Him and keep your eyes on Him and the distractions of the world will not steal your heart. Your heart belongs to Him who purchased your life with His blood. There is no one to compare with Him. He is the only one and in Him is all the treasure you need. Let Him be your everlasting joy this Christmas.

God Is Faithful To Answer

Many are the trials we face daily but with the Lord nothing is impossible. He comes through every time and therefore I can trust Him to be there all the time. He is a Father who knows all things and will answer my call even before I call. I can trust in Him wholly and He will reward my trust with answers. How good it is to know The Lord and to trust in Him. This Christmas let Him be the answer to your life.He is faithful who has called you and He will never let you down. The fires may rage and the mountains may fall but His love never fails.

FACE YOUR CHALLENGES IN LOVE

To accept a challenge is to be ready at all times to be Christ in the challenge. Challenges are meant to strengthen us and not to weaken us. So face your challenge today in Jesus Name and see the difference. Each time you face a challenge you will feel fear griping you. Now change the fear into love. In love now face the challenge. The challenge is usually a person who threatens you or your ego. If you see the other as a threat then you become a victim. See the other person as a challenge to love and face the challenge to see your love grow stronger. Love is not a sentiment. It is a decision. When you choose to love, you choose to die to self and think of the other. To love is to come alive to the other. You don't think of your survival but you can help the other change into someone you can love ratHer then hate. You change and in the process the other person changes because you see them with different eyes. This is to change your perception of the other from being the aggressor to one who is going to help you become a stronger lover.

SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE

To be in the zone where God is moving is to be in one mind with Him. Many times we operate outside His zone and therefore miss His best. His best is to be one in Him. There is no other way to be one with Him then in the Spirit. This union is what makes the difference. Many fail to enter the rest because they operate outside this zone. Many misunderstand God's plans. Because they are outside His zone. To understand the things of the Spirit one needs to be in the zone. This is the place where you are moving freely in the spirit. This is the place of total surrender and union. You feel empowered and invincible in this zone. You enter into this zone by praying in the spirit. Only those who are moving in similar realms will understand you and the things of the spirit. For the rest it just is like water of a duck's back. Operate in the spirit all the time and you will soar like an eagle.

IN GOD I TRUST

God is at work in you to desire and to do according to His will. God is the one at work in me and all I need to do is to trust in Him. What a wonder is this that He who created me is now at work in me to will and to do, this how He works and there is nothing I can do but to trust in His work. I need to trust His work in me . He has the final say in all things in my life. No amount of worry can change this, it has been written and will come to pass. Now all I can do is to trust Him. God is doing a new work in you to prepare you for the next season. Relax and wait for His Spirit to unction you, his unction is the sign to move ahead. Wait on The Lord and be renewed. He will provide you with the strength to carry on. All the purposes of your enemies will be foiled. He will send his angels to guard you and lead you.

DISCERN THE SPIRITS

Many times you are assailed by spirits that try to possess you and control you. You think you are right because they are egosyntonic. Yet there is a part of you that feels it is not right. When you are not at peace then you know that this is a indication that all is not right. Discern the spirit behind your feeling. This spirit will influence your thoughts and lead you down the road to destruction. Anything that makes you driven is another spirit trying to invade and control you. You need to step back and take control. Do not give into this spirit. The Holy Spirit will never drive you to destruction. Love, joy and peace will never drive you. The Holy Spirit leads. Therefore discern which spirit is controlling you and bind it and cast it out. in Jesus name.

GOD'S HEART

God is good and His banner over me is love. This is a new season and God is moving in power on the earth. We are all beholden to Him who holds the universe in His hands. His hands weave in and out of the nations and He causes men to turn from their wicked ways. Selfishness is the heart of the problems of man and God sent His Son to deliver us from its strangle hold over us. There is nothing too hard for The Lord. He will respond to the cry of anyone anywhere. His language is love. He knows nothing else but love. You were created in love and love will be the only way to live. There is no other way creation can live for the opposite of love is hate and indifference. This is what kills. When men lose heart they become like animals. Come to the The Father and be saved.

WALKING IN LOVE

God is good and His banner over you is love. It is His love that will sustain you in troubled times. You can go without food but not without His love. Every child needs love. No child can survive long without love. Even animals need the sustenance of motherly love. God created us for love. Where there is a lack of love there will be all kinds of other emotions. Love always gives and never withholds. When a person fails to give he fails to love. Giving is the hallmark of love. Giving in all areas of life is the acid test of love. Love is what makes the world go round. Judge yourself today and see if you are walking in love or some other spirit.

HIS WAYS ARE BEYOND COMPARE

God's purpose in all this is to bring all of creation into communion with Him. His ways are not our ways. He has plans that defy the ways of man. He operates in pure love. There is no ambiguity about His ways. His ways are certain and sure. His ways are from eternity. He decides because He is and not because He feels like it. He operates from who He is. Marvellous are His ways and beyond compare. His ways are just and all who seek His face will know His ways. He weeps for those who are lost. The lost are being eaten up by worms and will die. Their salvation is near but they fail to see. The Jews heard the word but chose to worship their man made gods. They preferred to worship creation rather then the Creator. Today seek The Lord with all your heart. He is available to all and will respond to your heart cry.

LOVE IS MORE THEN A FEELING

Our perceptions are influenced by our emotions. If we are feeling high then our perceptions are positive and we tend to minimise the negatives. If we are feeling negative then our perceptions mainly see the negatives and minimise the positives. This is why we cannot make a unbiased judgement because our perceptions are not based on facts but emotions and change like the weather. Love covers a multitude of sins but sometimes ignores the negatives. Love is an emotion as well as a decision. I decide to love even when I don't feel loving. Loving feelings enable one to minimise the negatives and this is what happens to newly married couples. They tend to minimise the negatives till those loving feelings begin to fade and reality reveals the negative aspects. Only love can then continue to stay the course for the negatives are very powerful to breakdown those loving feelings. Love now takes on a new meaning. It is not just a feeling but accepts the beloved,warts and all. Anything less then that is lust. Therefore be careful about your perceptions for they are not reliable. Taking time to let those initial feelings settle usually helps us see situations and others more clearly.

FANTASY VS REALITY

God desires us to operate in reality rather then fantasy. To operate in fantasy is to be disconnected from reality. Fantasy tends to minimise the reality of responses from others. Fantasy is safe because one is in control of the movie that is played in the mind. Reality always has to consider the other. In fantasy there are no checks as anything is possible and only the operator is affected. One can tend to manipulate the outcome according to one's desires. This kind of operation when resorted to often leads to a life cut off from reality. Neurotic fears are quelled through this kind of avoidant activity. When a grip on reality is absent then psychosis is the result. The way out of fantasy is to apply your mind to what is happening now. This enables one to face the reality of the situation one is in now then escape into fantasy somewhere else. Bringing your mind to attention to what is present enables you to face the situation or person in full attention. Practicing the presence of God is possible by resting in His presence and letting Him give you His thoughts and feelings. The more you operate in the now the more you become real to others. You stop avoidance behaviours and confront the reality that is in front of you.

POSSESS ME O LORD

Possessed by God is the desire of my heart. God desires a people who He can possess. To be filled is good but to be possessed is even better. God wants to have total control of you freely. He will never impose Himself on you. God wants willing servants who will trust Him with all their heart. Trust is the vital ingredient that will satisfy the Father. He is looking for a people who will trust Him unreservedly. God accepts you unconditionally. He did this on Calvary.He gave himself freely so that you can be free to choose. There is nothing more you can do to earn His love. All He needs is your free will.

GOD IS IN CONTROL

God is at work in you to will and to do. How good is that? God initiates the work in you and then continues to help you in the same. It is His work because you are His workmanship. It is to serve His purpose that you have been called. Now all you need to do is rest in this knowledge and security of the same. To work for yourself is one thing but to work for Him is a greater mission in life. He works in you to proclaim His work for eternity. His work is for a larger purpose in achieving His goals. Your goals are nothing compared His goals. Therefore remain in His presence and see how He will open doors to achieve His goals in His time. Paul was chosen by God to achieve His purpose. You too must remain content to know that He is working things out in His way. What a place of rest to be in Him and know He is in control.

WAKE UP CHURCH OF GOD

Man is not alone for God is with him. However man chooses to do it his way without God. Independence is a curse that led to Satan's fall and the same trait is in fallen Adam's race. God made man to have fellowship with Him but man wanting to be like God has chosen separation. This separation has brought about a different kind of Kingdom that is earthly and without God. God has taken second place because man has chosen to reject God. God sent His son to redeem man from his fallen state. He restored His relationship with man and now God can establish His kingdom though the called out saints. The church is to be the Kingdom of God on earth. However the church has lost its bearings and now behaves like the kingdom on earth. God is still in control and will redeem His church from it's fallen state. When the church wakes up the world will take notice. The world is at the mercy of the church because she holds the key to the future. Rise up church of God and take your rightful place among the nations.

FLAME OF FIRE

The flame of fire within you will burn till the day you die. God has put this flame within you. It will burn all that is of the flesh till you are burning the light of life in the spirit. God's fire is like a light that burns the darkness away. His light brightens your insides and as the flesh life is burnt up the spirit life will shine through you. His light will lighten the ground you walk on and others will sense his presence in and around you. This is what will result in revival. God's light will drive out the darkness and his light will be the healing for the land.

MARKET PLACE CHRISTIANITY

Christianity needs to be practised in the market place if it is going to have an impact. Too many are comfortable meeting in church buildings where it is safe. Jesus spent most of His time in the market place. This is where sinners were and this is where the need is. Too much inward looking has kept the church stifled and weak. Growth occurs when your faith can be applied in the market place.Your faith is useless unless it can be applied in the market place. Faith rises when it is challenged. Jesus moved among the populace because He came for them. He spent time in the synagogue but all they did was to reject Him and His message. People in the market place followed Him and werie healed in mind and body. This is what the church is called to do. If the church continues to be cloistered within its four walls it will decay and die.

JESUS THE NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES

Jesus the Name above all other names. His name is Jesus and He is the Lord of all. Call on His Name and see the enemy flee from you. His Name is more powerful then a mantra. He is living and He comes to you when you call on His Name. Every knee will bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord. Jesus was and is and is to come. He is the Saviour of the world. Call on His name in the day of trouble. His name is your name when you call on Him. He becomes you because He has gone through all the trials and experienced every sin known to man. He took upon Himself your sins and bore it on a tree and died. He is your redemption and your Saviour. There is no other Name on earth or in heaven greater then His. What a name and what a way to go for all mankind depends on Him. He knows the end from the beginning. He is and therefore you are.

KINGDOM MIND SET

For God is good and His grace is sufficient for you. He has called you into His Kingdom and in His Kingdom there is peace everlasting. You live now in His Kingdom and work in His Kingdom. No more earthly kingdom for you, for you belong to a different King who is Lord over all. Your journey is into eternity for that is your destiny. Now is the time to work and walk in Kingdom mind set. In Kingdom mind set you only do what your King leads you to do. Your interests have all changed. You are no more interested in the things of the world. You have lost interest in the things of the world. All you are interested in, is in His Kingdom and His callings. He calls and you go. He will provide the resources to do His will. You are His agent now and you establish His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven, You work with His resources and not your resources. Your resources are limited while His resources are unlimited. Therefore enlarge your vision and be ready to move forward and fear nothing.

CHRIST'S BODY ON EARTH

We are the body of Christ. Just as the body has many parts so Christ's body has many parts. Each is appointed for a specific role or task. A finger cannot do the job of an eye. So each member of the body is called to do their part. The whole body will only function when each part does its part. Otherwise the body will malfunction and not fulfil its destiny.

The body of Christ worldwide is going through a process of transformation. Each is recognising that we need each other to fulfil God's mission in the world. We need to embrace our differences and not try to manipulate each other to conform to only one part. This is a huge calling for the body to respect and encourage the various ministries of the church. Only a committed body to Christ's cause in the world can do this. Let us do our part to fulfil the great commission before Christ returns.

SHINE JESUS SHINE

 Blazon the land with the light of His Presence. How? By praising and praying till you shine His light through you. God's light is in you. The only way it is going to be seen is through praise and prayer. You enter his courts with thanksgiving and connect with the Holy Spirit. When you connect with Him He will connect with you. A charge is set off and you light up just like a bulb that lights up when the switch is on. It is this connection that is needed to set your heart on fire. When your heart is on fire it will just burn with His love and peace and joy like no other. This will light other fires and soon the land will be on fire for the Lord. In His presence there will be manifestations of all kinds including healing and miracles. The word of the Lord will go forth and perform its works. Faith will rise and bring forth fruit and the world will go round like a musical melody. Crime will reduce and people will see through His eyes and become like the people of heaven on earth. All selfishness and hatred will vanish and replaced with pure love. Shine Jesus shine through me today.

GOD AND ME

I am the temple of the living God. The Holy Spirit dwells in me. I am a holy vessel cleansed in the blood of Jesus. He keeps me holy. He cleanses me and fuels me each day to walk in His ways. He is my light and my fortress. In Him I dwell safely. I am His and He is mine. I will never depart from His ways. He has promised never to leave me or forsake me. In His presence is joy and peace and everlasting love. In Him I am and my destiny is in Him. I am, therefore I can be.

Many follow other gods that satisfy their fleshly desires. I choose to follow the Lord who fills me with spiritual desires. The world is on a course to self destruct. Selfishness is the god of this world. Selfishness never results in holiness. God is holy and He is always thinking of you. Blessed is the Name of the Lord. It is good to know that God is in control. As this earth flies though space it is held by His mighty hands. The winds of change will blow but God is not moved. His stable right hand will take the earth to its destination despite the chaos in the world.  Man is but a speck of dust and will be no more when his time is up. God is eternal and never ceases to live.

RULE AND REIGN

Facing the enemy is like being thrown into the lions den. Daniel faced the lion by surrendering all to God who closed the eyes and the mouth of the lions. So also only when you walk in total surrender will you be able to survive the attacks. The enemy comes in like a roaring lion but his roar is louder then his bite. He roars only to frighten because he has lost his sting. His sting is death but Jesus has overcome death and the fires of hell. Now you are on the side of heaven and therefore do not be deceived that you are in enemy territory. You are in God's territory and everywhere you go, you claim his territory for God. The enemy will make you think that you are in foreign land but you are not because you are anointed to rule where you are. Rule therefore in body, mind and spirit and see how the enemy of your soul will leave you in peace. Binding the works of darkness is your responsibility. Everything else will flow smoothly when the powers of darkness are bound.

HIT SIXES

This is the time to hit sixes against the devil. He has lost the war. He may win some battles but the fact remains that he is destined for hell while you are destined for heaven. So who cares about the battles when we know that the war has already been won. This is the strength we have as christians. The devil tempts and attacks everyone. He is no respecter of persons. His mission is to steal, kill and destroy. He will work through anyone who  allows anger and hatred to consume his heart. Unforgiveness is the door for many demons to invade you. Therefore walk in forgiveness. Love is forgiveness. There is no love if thee is no forgiveness. Agape love does not remember the hurts as love covers all. When you have experienced the love of God then nothing is too hard for you. Love covers a multitude of sins.

SALVATION IS NOW

Break through is the operative word at this time. God is moving in ways unheard of in the past to win the souls of millions into His Kingdom. There are no more barriers. The law cannot exclude anyone from entering His Kingdom. His Kingdom is love, joy and righteousness and all these are contained in Jesus. When you receive Jesus you receive the full inheritance. All other inheritance is partial. Other ways can satisfy but only partially. His salvation guarantees you eternal life and not just a happy earthly life. Life is more then death do us part. Jesus came to give us eternal life through His death. Money cannot buy this life for it is a spiritual life and only the Spirit can give it. Jesus came that all those who call on His Name can receive eternal life. This life is in God and not in flesh. Therefore connect with God today through jesus and be saved. Your salvation is guaranteed.

FREEDOM FROM THE FLESH

The flesh will not die because it is ruled by the senses. This is why only total surrender will do. You know the flesh is still alive because of your sins. You sin daily through thought, word and deed. These are signs that your flesh is still alive. A seed must die before it can bring forth life. So also its as your flesh is crucified daily that the new life in Christ can come forth. Just as Jesus had to die before He could rise again into resurrection life. This kind of death is only possible through the Spirit. No amount of self mutilation will kill the flesh. It is a faith position. I am crucified with Christ. I no longer live. Nevertheless I live. The life I now live, I live through the faith of the Son of God who died for me. What a paradox. Death means life. The two cannot subsist together. This is the daily battle and who wins depends on your position. In the flesh or in Christ. You are filled in the Spirit and walk by the Spirit. Many are filled in the Spirit but walk by the flesh. Hallelujah I am now free because Christ Jesus has set me free. 

LIFE IS IN THE SPIRIT

Oh to be used by the Lord. What a privilege and honour it is to be used by the Lord. He is the vine and I am a branch. He feeds me and I grow leaves and bear fruit for others to be fed and be nourished. What a picture of the union between the father and the son. I am just a product of the father. What the father is I am. The likeness of the father is seen in the son. So Jesus came as the Son of God and portrayed His Father in heaven on earth. Now I am to portray the image of my Father in heaven through the Holy Spirit who is the Spirit of Jesus living in me. All I have to do as a branch is to submit to Him and He will do the rest. When I submit to him, I die to my self. Only death to self can result in life in Him. The two cannot live together for the flesh is against the Spirit. But even in this God has given me the way of escape from the urges of the flesh. He has given me the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God to subdue my flesh and the devil. All the weapons I need are available to me and become powerful when I surrender to Him. Come Holy Spirit and fill me afresh today.

HE NEVER FAILS

God is in control and so you have no cause to worry or fear. These two enemies of your soul seek to cripple you in your walk of faith. Worry is a lack of faith. You worry only when you feel that you will lose out or not make it. When you know that God is in control and that He knows the end from the beginning, then you will be able to cast all your worries on to Him. He cares for you more then you can ever know. He purchased you with a price, His own life. He is with you all the time  and therefore when things appear to be against you, know He is for you. Hallelujah His Spirit will comfort you and guide you and you will be amazed. Looking at your past must assure you of His hand on your life. He never fails.

DAILY MANNA

The Lord is over all and in His presence is peace and joy. The joy of the Lord is your strength. He keeps those who are His and He ministers to those who call on His Name. God directs your thoughts so that you know what He is thinking. When you share His thoughts they become bread to the hungry. Those who desire to hear the Lord will listen. Those who are blind and deaf will not hear or see. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind and the ears of the deaf. Therefore pray that your eyes will be open and your ears will hear His voice. His voice is like manna to your soul. The Israelites waited for their daily manna from the Lord when they were in the desert. You are in a desert place and the Lord will feed you. You will feel nourished and healthy because you are rich.

HIS WORD

The holy anointing oil of the Holy Spirit is poured over you. You have the anointing of David and you must go in the Holy Spirit to do as David did. He fought his enemies and brought them down one by one. His defeat of Goliath was one giant of an enemy who cursed the army of God. So all your enemies will be made a footstool for the Lord of the armies of heaven are behind you. Do not fear for He is with you all the time. Listen to his now word to you and be encouraged. When you do not hear from Him then know that He is still with you. He will speak when you need His word. His now word is a revelatory word. It abolishes all other words. God's word is the last word on a matter. No more discussions. His word is sent to cut through the morass of conflicting thoughts and opinions. The word of God is sharper then any 2 edged sword. Therefore speak forth His written word and His now word when faced with the enemy. Like David fill your sling with His powerful word and let His word do the job of destruction. The enemy will flee from you when you use His word. Your words have no effect on the enemy. His word is spirit and life.

SEASON OF BLESSING

Time for God's season of blessing. His word is true and comes through at the right time. Now I have to hold on to His word and His promises and see the blessings come through. God expects us to walk by faith. This means not seeing but seeing before things appear in the physical realm. I see in the spiritual first before it manifests in the material. This is how God created the worlds. He saw and spoke the word and saw the worlds formed. Man also operates in this realm through visions and dreams. He sees and then speaks forth the word in faith and waits to see the word being performed. God's word performs. When you speak the healing word it goes forth and performs that spoken word. The Holy Spirit is the workman who works the word into being. You are just His instrument that plays the tune. The tune is heard and faith rises and accepts the now word and believes. Mary believed the word and it was life for her. Be it unto me according to your word Lord.

VIEW OTHERS AS SEPARATE FROM YOURSELF

View people as separate from yourself. This separation allows others to feel respected and not an extension of you. This is especially so for close relationships. When others feel treated as extensions of your self then they will resist this and rebel. Children will rebel against this as part of their separation and individuation process. Spouses will also resist this and want to separate. It will feel suffocating to be an extension of another. You need to be able to express your own thoughts and feelings and not be bullied to accept what others say.When you are able to be free in a relationship then you are accepted for who you are. When one enters a family you will know how it feels to be in the family. If suffocated then you know there is a dominant person who treats others as extensions of themselves. There needs to be structure without dominance. Structure serves to enable the family to fulfil its function. A clear structure enables individuals to function without losing their identity. A structural analysis enables one to assess how a group functions. A group with clear boundaries functions as a system that will communicate clearly and not be overwhelmed by feelings. Feelings are kept in control within a system with clear boundaries. Unclear boundaries leads to chaos and feelings control the system. Clarifying boundaries is the key to functional living.

RESURRECTION POWER

Hallelujah. Everything of the flesh conspires to depress you while everything of the Spirit aspires to encourage and empower you. Listen to the Spirit and shut the flesh up. The flesh is so influenced by your senses and your senses by the environment. When you operate in the Spirit you are controlled by the Spirit. When you are walking in the flesh you are controlled by fleshly thoughts. Therefore your only escape is in the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is in you and He will lead you when you submit to Him. To be led by the Spirit is bliss. To be led by the flesh is confusion. This is why only resurrection power will do. In resurrection power you move above the chaos of the world. You are like Christ and when you move in His resurrection power. This power is yours when you are filled in the Spirit. You can expect anything and all things are possible in His power. Come to the river and be refreshed. Only resurrection power can help you overcome all the pressures you face in and out. His power is available to all who will seek Him. Come Holy Spirit and possess me for you live in me.

NOW

God speaks as you tune into Him. Just come into His presence now and do not let your mind wander away from the present. The present is the only reality you know and need. Tomorrow is just a mist and yesterday a memory. It is today and the present moment that counts. In the present moment you can think and feel and know His presence. The way to commune with God is in the present. He will then down load His thoughts and feelings into you. So now separate yourself and be in His presence. See how your mind will clear as you focus on the now. He will enter your now and He will commune with you. Thoughts will flow into you and it is as if a light bulb suddenly comes on. The darkness turns into light. The light of His presence invades your being. You become light and all your thoughts become clear and bold. You become substance and begin to feel His creation. This is what is real. All else is fantasy. Fantasy is a creation of your mind. This never lasts and is a substitute for the real. Why live in fantasy when the real is what is eternal? Yet the mind prefers to escape into fantasy for the reality is too hard to bear. This escape into fantasy will never make you strong. In the Spirit you will live in the real and not in the false.

SEEING THE END VICTORIOUSLY

The finish line is what is important. You know what it looks like because you know you are on the winning side. What is happening now is not as important because you know you are going to win in the end. Nothing can stop you now for you know how it will all end, as a winner. How good is that? Jesus knew His end from the beginning. He knew that His Father knew what was best. When He ascended into heaven He sent His Holy Spirit to fill us so that we too may have the same vision of the end as He had. This is what made giants out of weak men who turned the world upside down. What are you waiting for. The world is waiting for you. Unless you do it no one else is going to do it. Go and save as many as possible from the fires of hell before it is too late. Now is the opportune time to strike. The world is heating up and heading for destruction as it loses its map and turns into itself. Shine as His light and turn the hearts of the lost to Him that they too may find Him and be saved.

THE OVERCOMER LIVES IN YOU

The overcomer lives in you. What a powerful word is this? He lives in you and so you have power to overcome all things. Sin has no more power over you. All you need to do is submit to His power in you. This is the easy way God has established for you through the death of Christ on the Cross. His blood now cleanses you continuously and you have no need to worry but only to surrender to His will. Jesus said take my yoke upon you for it is easy and light. When we choose to carry our burden then it will be heavy and hard. He carries our burdens on the Cross and therefore we can travel light. Why carry unnecessary burden when He has carried all on the Cross. All we have to do is believe and receive. But this is too easy for the flesh which seeks to burden you with worry and care. The flesh cannot rest for it is controlled by sin. The spirit can rest for it is controlled by the Holy Spirit. Now choose to be controlled by the Holy Spirit and live.

MAN REJECTS GOD

Man was made to worship God. Man's needs are met through God his Creator. How can man live without God? There will always be a void in man's heart if he rejects God. This void must be filled. Only the Spirit can fill this void. When man rejects God, he rejects himself because he has rejected his Creator. Man is saying I am my own boss. In this is the fall of man. Adam rejected God and fell. Lucifer rejected God and fell. When man rejects God he will be swayed by other gods that are self made to please man. So the story repeats itself through the generations and man never changes. He cannot change for sin has possession of him. Now the only way out for man is through Jesus who came to redeem man from his sin soaked state. In Jesus we are freed from the terror of sin. We are filled in His Spirit and come home. So come Lord Jesus and fill this house and be my Lord.

SAVIOUR OF ALL

Hallelujah what a God we have. He is the Alpha and Omega of our faith. He is ever near and a daily help in all our struggles. He is forever Yahweh. He is my Father and your Father. There is nothing that can separate us from His love. His love under girds us and His love keeps us moving in faith. It is because of His love that we have hope for tomorrow. His love sustains us through the trials and tribulations we face daily. Lord thank you for your love. Love is a foundation that keeps us firm in faith. Love cannot be bought. Love is. You know love in your heart and your heart responds in love to the needs around you. Without love the human heart will fail. They say love keeps the world moving. I say God's love keeps the world moving. Without God there is no hope because everything will one day die. Death is the only thing we can be sure of without God. Jesus overcame death and therefore we have hope of a new life and death has lost its sting. Now rejoice and be glad for He lives today to save. Call on Him and be glad for He is the Saviour of the Lord. Only He can unite the sinner and the saint. He is the Redeemer of all mankind. Pray that all we call on Him and be saved. Salvation belongs to the Lord.

TOTAL SURRENDER

God is at work in you to will and to do has so empowered me to know that it is His work and and not mine. All He requires is total surrender so that He can do His work in me unhindered. Self refuses to die and this is a life long battle of surrender. We can die to the world and everyone else but to die to self is the battle that rages on. Only way is to apply our will to the Cross so that His will can be in control. Jesus is the only one and not the first. The first means that there are others. Only means there is no other. This must be your commitment or else something will always come in between.When the Spirit has total control then you will walk in the glory of the Lord. His glorious presence will so engulf you that nothing else can take its place. Lord come now should be the cry of your heart. It is His presence that will transform lives. Come Lord Jesus and transform my life today to be a glorious emblem of your presence.

TO WILL AND TO DO

God is at work in you to will,that is, to make you willing, and to do, that is. to help you to do, according to His good pleasure Phil 2:13. What a powerful verse to know that He is the One who is doing it through us. We have no power but He has all power. All we need to do is surrender to his will. It is so easy when we come to the place of total surrender. He knows our weakness in the flesh and He knows we need help. He has promised to help us and all we have to do is trust Him to do. I love it because He is my Helper and friend. Is there anyone like Him? No other religion can say this because they are based on rules and regulations. Rules and regulations do not work because the flesh is against it. Now the Spirit can work through our will to help us do according to His good pleasure. It pleases God when we are in the centre of His will. Others may laugh at us like they did when Noah built the Ark. Who had the last laugh? It was too late then for all perished. Now God has made it possible to live an abundant life in Him through His Spirit. All we have to do is submit to Him. Call on the Name of Jesus and you will do and not despair.

MORAL COMPASS

Praise God who sends people at the right time to encourage, exhort and lead into new hope and challenge. The church needs to be revived to answer the call to evangelise. The world is rapidly going down the slide of moral depravity and will end in suicide. When morality loses ground then what replaces it will be like Sodom and Gomorrah. There will be all kinds of evil activity and people will live for themselves. All your base desires will emerge to express itself in sexual and murderous ways. This is the path to self destruction. It is already happening in individuals, families and nations. What you are witnessing around the world is the loss of a compass to keep the nations growing and flourishing. Instead nations have turned in amongst themselves and are on the path to self destruct. This happens when a nation loses its moral compass. The Bible was the moral compass for many nations. Now it is being discarded for other less moral rules which are self made and to suit base desires. Base desires come to the fore when morality slips. Your conscience becomes seared and you mould with your environment. This is what history has taught us yet we blindly go down the same path again and again. It is as if the next generation has not learnt from the past. The story of Israel exemplifies this trend. Lord help us stem this tide of moral degradation now.

PASSION

Prayer is your life line with God. A life line is like a blood line that nourishes you and processes all that needs to be excreted. All that is not of God will be excreted and that which is of God will nourish your soul.Through prayer you have this vital communication with your Creator. He will reveal His mind to you and you will discern what is good and His will for you. As you surrender your will to Him, His will becomes your will. You then become like Him as you are united in one Spirit. The Holy Spirit will feel and speak through you. He will bring to your remembrance the things of God and enlighten your mind. This enlightening leads to action.Action follows revelation. If there is no revelation then all you have is letters that mean nothing and therefore will not lead to action. Revelation results in passion and passion results in action. The revelation may come in the form of vision or word but it needs to activate passion to propel you forward. Passion is the work engine of the vision being realised. So pray and be in touch and be involved in His world.

SPIRITUAL NATURE

Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. What words to magnify the immensity of the salvation in Christ Jesus. A sinner saved from sin is the miracle of salvation. This is no small work but the Spirit is merciful and will save anyone who cries out to be saved. Salvation belongs to the Lord. How the words of scripture come at opportune times to help us in our walk. This is why it is so important to read the scriptures. The Spirit can then bring to our remembrance the words of life that we need at such times. God gave us the scriptures as His love letter to us. Now we feed on his words and are transformed by His love into a new being. The words of life are transformational because they are birthed in the Spirit and begets a spiritual nature. The new nature we have is spiritual. In the Spirit we can believe and receive His promises without hindrance. God is the author of all things. His people can know His mind and do exploits.

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

Praise the Lord for His guidance and His provision. He is so good and He is a constant companion. What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear. He is the bearer and all we do is enjoy the ride. He carries our burdens and so our burden is light. What more can you ask for then this? Jesus saves is truly a operative word for today. He is the only Saviour who can bear our burdens. The burdens we carry are too heavy to bear but He is here to bear them. Oh if only we will trust in Him and not worry. He has proved worthy over and over again yet we forget. Just like the Israelites who were shown many signs yet they forgot. They demanded a physical God and were not satisfied with the unseen God. We too are so led by our senses that we need signs to guide us. God calls us to walk by faith and not by sight. Signs are needed for the unsaved and not the saved. The saved can see because they were once blind. Now we exercise our faith eyes and believe and walk by faith. We will see what men cannot see with their physical eyes. Help us to see O Lord and live.

COCOONED IN HIS LOVE

How good it is know that the Lord is your constant companion. You will never be alone for He has said He will never leave you or forsake you. He is a friend and a guide. He is a problem solver. He is the great healer. You have all your needs met in Him. Therefore take Him at His word and live. His blood flows through your veins and cleanses you. All 60,000 miles of vessels in your body flow with His blood. You are His and he nourishes all the cells of your body. His eternal life flows through you. You are His and He is yours and together you are one. One to conquer the world and to be a witness of His salvation. Blessed is the man who seeks the Lord with all His heart. Your heart is the centre of your being. From your heart flows all the vital issues of life. Cleanse your heart and let it be filled with His Spirit who resides in your heart. Your heart commands what will be as it communes with His Spirit who dwells in you. Never forget His benefits and praise Him all day. Now you can face the day with a spring in your step because He lives. He lives and therefore you have hope of a good day in Him. All that is of the enemy cannot touch you for you are cocooned in His love. What a Saviour is He.

BLESSED TO BE A BLESSSING

Sanctification is a process. The Holy Spirit living within you is doing the work of cleansing and purifying. When you surrender to Him He burns up the dross and cleanses you. This is a ongoing process. The flesh will always try to go its own way but the Spirit will direct you His way. His way is the only way to live an abundant life. His life in you is the source of your strength. You are a spear head and He is the spear. He will propel you to unmask the enemy and put him to flight. The Lord is powerful and His presence in you is your power source. When you realise this then nothing is impossible for you to do. All the resources of heaven are available to you. Fret not and you will want not. Fretting is a sign of fleshy desires not met. The flesh yearns to satisfy itself while the Spirit wants to satisfy the needs of others. The outlook of one is inward while the other is outward. You can decide from this what spirit is controlling you. The Holy Spirit always serves others and never serves itself. You are filled to fill. You are blessed to bless. So rejoice in your blessing and never compare yourself with others.

LED BY THE SPIRIT

When led by the Spirit you will be reminded of what needs to be done and who you need to contact and given new insights into things. The Spirit will guide you and grant you wisdom as what to do. If you draw a blank then it is time to wait and pray. Prayer prepares you to allow the Spirit to work through till a solution is found. This is exciting for now you are operating from above and not from below. To operate from above is to operate in the might of the Spirit and not the flesh. For spiritual break throughs only waiting on the Spirit can do. It is His work and we are to follow Him. In the flesh we do in our ability. In the Spirit He does in His ability. Which would you prefer? You are to enjoy life because all your needs are met in Him. When you struggle to survive you are just existing and not living. To live is to breathe the pure air of the Spirit. He will infuse you with His holy air and all your cells of your being will be revived and you will mount up like an eagle and never be phased again. Your strength comes from the Spirit within you. This is why when you pray you just voice the words of the Spirit from your spirit and not from your head. This is powerful intercession and will get through to the heart of the people and transform them. Be filled today in the Spirit and live life to the full.

UNITY IN SPIRIT

In the Spirit there is unity. This unity can never be achieved in the flesh. When saints come together in the Spirit then there will be unity. In this atmosphere the Spirit will move powerfully in gifts distributed freely. The saints will exercise these gifts to bless each other. Healing, peace and love will flow freely. Fears will be vanquished and hope will be restored.There will be such a uniting of hearts that all needs will be met. In the flesh there will be envy and jealousy and back biting. In the Spirit there will be love, joy and peace. This is why the Kingdom of God restores righteousness , peace and joy. The church is God's Kingdom on earth. Yet there is so much of the world in His church. Man then tries to control the fleshly sins by introducing rules for right conduct. The church then splits because egos are hurt. This is the story of the church but God's church moves on despite this. For this time we have to contend with both the worldly church and His church. His church cannot be walled in but is free and is the universal church in the Spirit. We have communion with Him and His saints will continue to do His work in all parts of the world where they are called to serve. So do not be discouraged or dismayed. God is in control and His Kingdom will be established on earth as it is in heaven.

YOUR NEW NATURE

God has given you a new nature when you were made a new creation in Christ. He has given you a new heart. This means you have His nature in you. Hard to believe but it is true. I have given you a new heart and put my Spirit within you. The old has passed and the new has come. So why is it that we still operate in our old self still? This is because we stopped believing in His promises. We need to continuously walk in His presence to experience His nature. We can choose to walk in the flesh or in the Spirit. When we choose to walk in the flesh then the old feelings and thinking operate. In the new, the new nature operates. This is why you find that when you walk in the Spirit the new feelings and thoughts come alive. We are called to walk in the Spirit all the time not sometime! How can one do this unless there is total surrender to Him. As long as we are in the flesh we will be tempted to walk in our old ways. This is where discipline and constant battle with the flesh and the devil take place. But when you walk in your new nature the flesh has no attention at all. The devil can't touch you when walk in the Spirit. The key is to be filled daily in the Spirit and to walk by the Spirit.

REGRESSIVE FEELINGS

When regressive feelings assail you, trust the Lord to hold you. He knows your heart and these feelings will come and go. The devil will condemn you for these feelings but the Lord will hold you. All the experiences you go through are allowed by the Lord who is your keeper. He will hold you and comfort you and bring you to the place of victory. These feelings will pass. Remember you belong to Him and so you will be a target for the devil who hates you. Know the Lord loves you and He has experienced the same feelings. Therefore rise up and be bold and tell the devil to go away. The Lord looks at the heart of man and not his actions. David was a man after the heart of God, yet he fell into regressive ways. This is the human condition and only the Lord can save us. Sin will always be a source of failure and discomfort on earth. Sin will never be a problem in heaven. Therefore watch and pray that you maybe kept from sins way.

STAY FIXED

Staying fixed on Jesus is vital when the storms rage and the clouds are dark and heavy. Jesus rested in the boat while everyone else panicked. He rested in His Father's love and care. Now you can rest in Jesus lap when the storms rage around you. The enemy will send these storms but you are ruled from within and not from without. When you rule from within then what is inside you is more important then what is outside you. Popular support does not last for people change their minds like the wind. Therefore it is important to stay the course when things do not go your way. It is the strong that last to the end of the race. Life is a race for death is a reality. Today will never come again. Time and tide waits for no man. So make the best of today and leave the rest to God. This is the only way to live a vibrant life. Enjoy today and praise God you are alive and well. Nothing else matters for what you have today is the best you can have today.

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE

There are many voices that will invade your space and take your attention. You must take charge and decide which ones you will entertain. Thoughts are sent to you from different sources including spiritual sources. When you are fixed in purpose and know who you are and what your purpose is, then distracting thoughts will enable you to stay on course. You will make choices minute by minute to stay focussed on your reason for living  and not be detracted. Jesus faced the Cross daily in His life because He knew that was His purpose. You have one purpose now to be His witness in a torn and hopeless world. You are the only sign of the Christ the world will see. He has called you for this purpose and to this purpose you must stay fixed. All your faculties will come in line when you are fixed in purpose. Everything that comes along will serve your larger purpose. Now is the time to rise above the chaos and confusion of the world like a plane that rises above the clouds. Now in the Spirit you can cruise daily above the clouds and reach your destination on time. Nothing is going to delay your arrival because the angels of heaven are with you. Your calling is sure and God is with you every inch of the way. It is this confidence in Him that will drive you forward and with purpose.

RESURRECTION POWER

There is power in the Cross because it is a positive sign of the power of God. The Cross is a symbol of salvation and resurrection power. Without the Cross there would not be a resurrection. Death to self is bearing one's own cross. Death to self enables one to access the resurrection power of the cross. We cannot walk in the flesh and the Spirit. The only way to walk in the Spirit is through death to self. This is why the cross is the only answer to resurrection power. However many embrace the Cross but not the power. They embrace the Cross to go through the slavish cycle of sin and repentance. The answer is to walk in the Spirit and the flesh will have no power over you. We however want to embrace the flesh and the Spirit. A divided mind will go no where. Embrace the Cross and the resurrection power of Jesus and see how your walk will be amazing. The resurrection power of Jesus will release the power of heaven on earth to do His will as it is in heaven. His power will change your world upside down. You will walk right side up and see the world through His eyes. Praise the Lord.

KINGDOM OF GOD

Prayer is like breathing. If you stop breathing you are dead. If you stop praying, you are dead spiritually. When you pray you are in communion with the Father and He communicates with you and spiritual resources are available to you. You were born a spiritual being and without the breath of God you are just existing and not living. A living being breathes. Breathe on me breath of God till I am wholly thine. The Spirit is like breath. You breathe in the Spirit. How can we live without praying? Praying is not just asking for things. It is a relationship with the Father. It is to be in fellowship with the One who created you. God has established prayer as a means of resourcing and doing His will on earth as it is in heaven. Without His resources we cannot build His Kingdom. His Kingdom is not of this world. He is building a spiritual Kingdom where He is King. His disciples on earth build His Kingdom on earth by praying and sharing His life. Man builds a replica of God's Kingdom. His Kingdom is unseen and therefore it is only when we begin to walk in the unseen world that we truly see His Kingdom. The church maybe dying but His church is growing. So do not judge His church by external standards. He knows those who are His and they know Him. Therefore praise God at all times for the unseen Kingdom of God.

UP IN THE SPIRIT

When you are on a downer look to the Spirit for an upper. The Spirit will lift you up when you are feeling down. The Spirit works from within you to change your thinking and feeling. You access His thoughts rather then your thoughts. Praying in tongues stirs up the Spirit within you and the flow of thoughts will begin. Now you have access to another source of thoughts  and these thoughts then ignite the corresponding feelings of love, peace and joy. This is how you will need to run your life when things get you down. There are different mood states you will go through the day. Remember the feelings will pass. But you can do something to stay on top. Pray in tongues and this is a sure way to cut through the miasma of thoughts and feelings that depress you. The Spirit has been given to you to stand against the assaults from within and without. Stay fixed in the Spirit so that you don't get distracted by this and that. This and that are sent to discourage you and to pull you down. This is a daily battle you have to wage in the Spirit. When you are led by the Spirit there is no failure for He is in charge. What appears to be a weakness or failure turns out to be part of the course to success. Success is not winning but achieving what you hope to attain. There is no competition here only the way to bless and be blessed.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

God works in mysterious ways and all we have to do is wait and pray. Spiritual battles need spiritual weapons to fight the battle. No use using human weapons to fight a spiritual war. Spiritual warfare is raged in the heavenlies and not on earth. The spiritual forces are ethereal and therefore cannot be seen yet they are real. When you enter into the realm of the spirutual then it is what is unseen that matters. Your spiritual eyes will be able to see the battle in the heavenlies. We have to fight this battle that is waging war against the souls of men and women to claim them for hell. Prayer is the one vehicle of warfare that will enable the saint to claim souls for heaven. Nothing can move the mountain but faith filled prayers. God is dependent on us to intercede for souls gripped in the cares of this world. Satan sends trouble to distract us from our heavenly calling. Therefore spend time in intercession for all the people and situations that the Lord brings to your mind. Let your thoughts be committed to prayer for as you do so heaven is moved to intervene.

CONFLICTS

In the Spirit all is good. In the flesh all is confusion and discord. The flesh seeks conflict for it is through conflict that it is defined. A lack of definition causes conflict. It is through conflict that one becomes known. It is an inherent nature of man to conflict. Wars and battles are the larger arena of human conflict. Without conflict man feels undefined and useless. This challenge is what keeps the human race alive. Therefore when there is no conflict it does not mean it is all peace. No conflict means avoidance of conflict. The conflict has been internalised. When the conflict is internalised then it breaks forth in mental and physical illness. Man externalises conflict because he wants to blame someone else for his unrest. This unrest will continue till he is able to define himself. In the Spirit there is real peace. The flesh is dead in the spirit. It is the flesh that seeks to be defined and known. The lack of knowing is what causes conflicts. In the Spirit you are known and at peace because you can rest in Him. It is no longer I but Christ. It is Christ within who now rules and not self. When self is cancelled then there is no place for conflict. Who would you fight with if there is no self to fight for? Be filled in the Spirit and walk in the Spirit and walk in peace.

HEART TRANSFORMATION

Prayer is the lifeline for a christian. It is through prayer that you commune with your Father in heaven. He communes with you through prayer. Just like we need to communicate with each other so also we need to communicate with the Father. We need to share and listen. He is a listener but also will reveal His mind to you. He reveals His mind by sowing His thoughts into you. You know they are His thoughts because you sense a difference in them. I know that I know is the way to go. He knows your deepest needs and speaks to your heart. It is heart change that results in life change. Mere head knowledge does not change anything. When your heart is touched then your mind also changes. When I came to experience the Father's love I felt a deep transformation happen within me. It is the Father's love that will transform you from an enemy of the Cross to a friend. Salvation is in no other name under heaven. When Jesus knocks at the door of your heart, open it and let Him in. He will come as a permanent occupant in your heart. By His Spirit He will reveal things to you that you have never imagined.

GOD'S WILL BE DONE

How good it is to let the Lord do His thing and let go of your own agenda. There is so much freedom in doing this. The ego is replaced by God who then takes over to do His now thing. His now word is the most important word for today. Therefore whenever you find yourself thinking of yourself, take charge let go and let God. This is the only way to live a abundant life. Abundance comes from total surrender to Him. Why do we need to control? Because we are not resting in Him. We only need to control when we want our own way. When it is His way then we can relax because His way is better. It is better because it will have eternal effects. Whatever we do in our own strength is temporary. How good it is to be guided by the Holy Spirit to speak His now word which will bear fruit in abundance. Therefore live as if it is your last day on earth and live in complete surrender to His will. Pray thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven today in my life and see the difference.

HIS GLORY

The Lord shows up where people surrender all to Him and expect Him to show up. His glorious presence is something worth pursuing. Once you have tasted His presence you will want more. His tangible presence is what makes the difference between heaven and earth. In His presence there is total freedom because you are in His presence. Here you feel loved and secure and accepted. There is no place on earth or in heaven like being in His presence. He comes where He is loved and expected. God moves mightily on earth and He is no Respector of persons. He will appear to anyone who will call on Him by faith. A little child can call on Him. His Name is Jesus. Call on His Name and see the difference He will make. He will come and transform your situation by His presence. All the fear and worry will be removed and His peace will infiltrate your space. This is possible only through His Spirit who roams the earth and looks for people of faith. He responds to your cry for more and He will come. Only be in faith. His glory is His presence  and in His glory miracles happen. Lord come and manifest yourself in our midst today.

PRAY CONSTANTLY

Pray constantly. How does one pray constantly? This means we walk and talk prayer. We offer up all we have to God. Prayer is 2 way communion with God. When He is centre of our life then we are in communion with Him all the time. When we talk, we talk as if we are talking to Him. Our speech becomes holy conversation. It is Holy Spirit inspired conversation. We watch how we talk and interact with others. We are quick to quell anything that is not worthy. This is to walk in the fulness of the Spirit. Prayer becomes a way of life. We are interceding for others rather then spending time day dreaming. We offer up our whole beings to God. When prayer becomes a lifestyle then our walk and our talk becomes a life of prayer. Prayer brings God into the midst. We are vessels of His glory and usher in His presence wherever we go. How good is that? Living in His presence all the time is to encase ourselves in Him. We will live in His bubble of glory. Anything is possible where God is present. His presence goes with you. You become His vessel of glory to bless others. The most blessed person is you.

FAITH BELIEVES

Mighty is the Name of the Lord. His Name is greater and higher then any other name in heaven or on earth. Therefore when you ask anything in His Name there is power to receive. He said so Himself in Matt:7:7. Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened,  When you know that He will answer, all you need to do now is praise Him for the answer. This is to walk by faith. Faith believes even before the answer is received. It is sure that the answer will come. Do not let time stop you from praising Him. Time is not a factor in God's answer. He is eternal and you too need to have a eternal perspective to prayer. His timing is perfect for He sees the end from the beginning. How good is that! We only see in part and therefore never really see the whole picture. We can trust Him to do what is best. When we walk in this trust we can rest and not be agitated or condemn ourselves. There is total freedom to ask and not fear, for He is a good Father and He wants the best for His children. All the trials we go through are a test of our trust in Him. The disciples were all killed because of His Name. Are you ready to go the same way? Jesus said you must leave all to follow Him. He left all and He demands the same of His followers.

HIS WILL BE DONE

 Many fold blessings follow the man who seeks the Lord and His ways first in his life. God is at work in you and will bless you as you choose to walk in His ways. You have a choice daily to walk in His ways or your way. God never stops you from walking in your way. He comes to guide you when you call on Him and acknowledge Him as Lord. He is a Father who walks beside you and never dictates how you should walk. This is why you need to listen to Him always and not give into your fears. The devil will come to sow his thoughts but you must resist him and he will flee. The word of God is a good weapon to use when you resist. Pray the word of God into situations and see them change according to His word. When you see a situation that is ungodly then pray the word into the situation and see the situation change according to His word. This is what spiritual warfare is. Turning what is evil for good. The world is controlled by the devil but God is in control overall. When His people pray then God comes in to reverse the situation to His way and will. This is what it means to pray Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In heaven there is peace, love, unity, prosperity and health. Pray His will be done and you usher these fruits into your situation.

HIGHER SENSE OPERATION

Precious are the moments with the Lord and His indwelling Spirit is able to direct your thoughts to Him. He is a constant companion and friend and will never leave you. He is always with you encouraging you in the ways of the Lord. Listen to Him for He will speak through others and even through daily incidents and nature. God is moving through every situation and creation and so you must see beyond what you see. You can see but you also can perceive. Perception is to do with the meaning behind the seeing. A glass half full can be perceived as half empty. So look to the Spirit who will speak through your senses. He uses the same channels for communication as your physical senses. The difference is that you know it is from the Spirit and not from your physical senses. This is a higher form of sense perception. A dog can see what you don't see and smell what you don't smell. It is a higher sense that enables these creatures to serve mankind. You need to cultivate this higher sense through the gifts of the Spirit. Power is released when you operate from this dimension. Therefore operate from this place today and see how you will live in abundance.

SELFISHNESS

Friend of sinners is He, Jesus. He came that the world may connect back to God. The Father sent His Son so that fellowship could be restored with Him. Sin has cut off mankind from God. Now God had to find a way to restore the relationship. God took the initiative and sent His Son to die for the sins of the world. God is the author and He is the finisher. Man may have his own ideas but God's ideas are what matters. His word was sent to make the way for His Word to come to earth to redeem mankind from the prison of self and sin. Self is what hinders all from enjoying abundant life. Jesus promised abundant life but self continues to want to spoil it. Abundant life is only possible to those who are willing to surrender all to Jesus and be His light in a fallen world. The world is controlled by sin and there is no escape but through the Cross. There is no remedy but the blood of Jesus. Therefore today claim your inheritance in Him and do not waste your life in selfish living. The curse of mankind is selfishness. Once delivered from this, you become whole as Jesus.

REVEALING CHRIST IN YOU

Confidence flows from knowing who you are in Christ. In Christ you have everything you need to be confident. He will impart His life to you. He knows who are His and He is for you and not against you. He gave His own Spirit to dwell in you. Your spirit is now in Him. Infused with His Spirit you are one with Him. So in the Spirit you are like Jesus on earth. This is your new identity. You are a new creation in Christ. Live in your new identity and walk in confidence. Share your thoughts and feelings freely with others so that others can connect with Christ in you. If you are a closed book then no one can get to know you. Don't be worried about making mistakes. When you are true to yourself then you are living in true unity of spirit, mind and body. Taking risks is to walk by faith. You don't have to be right all the time. All you need be is to be genuine, truthful and transparent. Defences build a wall that keep others out. Therefore to influence others you have to be true to yourself and this means revealing Christ in you.

SIN AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

Almighty God has His hand upon you. When you think of His hand on Israel, you will marvel at His works. God chose to demonstrate His love through this nation and this nation continues to be tested and challenged. They are the scum of the earth and hated by many but loved by God. Whom God loves no man can stand against. If God is for you, who can be against you? God is against the proud and the powerful, He is for the poor and the humble. God never causes sin, for He is not the author of sin. He allows sin to prove the goodness of the righteous. He is righteous and He allowed His only begotten Son to die on the Cross not for His sin but the sins of the world. Now in Him we have access to His righteousness and love. God so loved the world that He gave. Love always gives and does not withhold. The world will withold because it is ruled by the power of sin. It is sin that causes you to behave selfishly. When the power of sin is cancelled then you are no more a slave to sin but to righteousness. Therefore go and sin no more.

WHOLE IN HIM

Have faith in God for He is a faithful and loving Father. He will never leave you or forsake you. He is always with you,  protecting you from the enemy who is out to destroy you. The angels cover you and protect you. When you walk through the valley He is there beside you. He is your comforter and friend. In Him all things exist. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the beginning and the end. Therefore in Him you are. Being is more important then doing. When you are, then you can do all things through Him. Being in Him is to be one with Him. He is in the centre of your being. Without Him you are just a mass of atoms. In Him you are a person. A person is more then what you see. A person is the sum total of body, mind and spirit. God is Spirit and you commune with God through your spirit. He made you and He knows all about you. Therefore in Him you are made whole to be.

ABUNDANT LIVING

The Lord is good and His mercies are forever. You cannot live a second without His grace covering you. You are under the shadow of His wing. This is the place of rest. In Him you have all you need to live an abundant life. Abundant life is in the Spirit and not the flesh. The flesh is immersed in conflicts. In the Spirit there is freedom for the soul and body. You are spirit as God is spirit. You have a earthly body that will perish one day. All the laws enacted are to serve the body. The body needs limits for its functioning. Laws are enacted to protect the body from bad things. There is no need for laws where there is freedom. Therefore operate in the spirit and your body will follow. In the flesh there will be confusion for there is no perfect law that can rule the body. You give opinions and relate based on what you know. The Spirit is all knowing and therefore is not limited to earthly laws of nature. God operates in the impossible realm and therefore is able to operate above the laws of nature. When you are connected to Him anything is possible. Even death has no power in God. Jesus proved this through His resurrection. In this power you operate today to rule and reign with Him in heavenly places.

PRAY FIRST

1Tim:2:1 Pray first. Prayer comes first in the life of a christian. To pray is to worship and acknowledge God and His Lordship over my life. I commit all things to Him. I pray for my needs and the needs of others including those in government and those who are above me. God has placed people in positions to govern so that we may live in peace. Whatever the policy or ideology, the government is there to govern the people. This means responsibility to deliver what will meet the basic needs of the people of the land. Prayer involves God. Not to pray is to live in the wisdom of your own. This is disastrous for we only know in part and therefore our decisions will be partial. We are influenced by our own knowledge and experience which is partial. God is all knowing and seeking His wisdom is for the good of all and not some. This world operates on what is good for some and the people in power gain the most. God works for the poor and leaves the rich to themselves. Pray for peace. Walk in love, faith and holiness and see peace being restored to your land. You have been placed as watch men. A watch man waits and prepares daily for the time when he has to act to protect and keep safe the people and inheritance given to him. So pray that God will protect and preserve and evil will be overcome.

HOPE FOR THE HOPELESS

God is merciful and full of love and he will never let you go. He will embrace you and keep you in the palm of his hands and will succour you like a mother with her child. This is our God who knows everything about you and nothing is hidden from Him. How could you wander away from Him who is your Keeper and friend. In Him is all righteousness and without Him all is sin and hopelessness. The world is moving rapidly to self destruct for there is no purpose in it all, for all ends in death. Therefore why live is what the world asks, for we all will  one day die? In Him there is hope and that everlasting. In death too there is hope in Him because your spirit is one with Him. In Him the hopeless find hope and the wanderer finds home. Come to Him and be blessed for I have found Him to be a faithful Father to me. God is good and though men may despise Him, He will be true to His word. Therefore do not judge by what you see but believe and be saved. The gospel is as simple as a,b,c but we complicate it by our own fallen wisdom. Jesus came that we may live and be with Him forever. Come to Jesus today and be saved. Taste and see that the Lord is good.

PROMISES OF GOD

The promises of God are yes and amen in Jesus.Therefore we can ask and believe that we have received what we have asked in Jesus Name. His name is the ticket to His promises. His promises are for us to enjoy but are limited to our faith. When our faith is connected to His Name then we will have all we ask. Just as a son is inheritor to his father's will so we have access to His will. His will for us is good and we have access to His will when we ask in Jesus Name. This is why His Name is greater then all other names. No other name is sufficient for our salvation. Salvation includes all things. We have been saved from sin and illness to His abundance and health. This is why all His promises are yes and amen. When we pray we must believe. To believe is to trust and obey. Obedience comes with trust. There is no obedience without trust. Trust comes first. A child will obey whom he loves. If you love the Father then you will trust and obey Him. Jesus did this and therefore the Father gave Him all things. All things were under Him. Now He has given you His Spirit so that you too can reign as Jesus did on earth. His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

PURPOSE

Purpose is what brings life to living. No purpose means just existing from day to day. God has given you a purpose and that is to live life to the full. Fear keeps you bound while love gives you hope. This hope is a living hope for the living Christ lives in you. You are no more a thing that exists for nothing. You are a living person who has a purpose and a destiny. This destiny is hid in Christ. This is what drives you daily to seek for the highest for His glory. Jesus walked on earth to please His Father in heaven. You too must order your life in such a way that what drives you must inspire others to follow your Master. Your Master is not a hard task master. He leads and all you do is follow. He leads by bringing you to a place of rest and not strive. Striving is in the flesh. Resting is in the Spirit. THe Spirit knows and operates from a different realm and when you walk in the Spirit you walk by faith and not by sight. Therefore today walk with purpose knowing that your destiny is assured in Him.

THINK POSITIVE

 When you are feeling down, look up. This is the only way to stay up. Feelings come and go and therefore like clouds you know the sunshine is behind the clouds. Do not let your feelings dictate how you behave. Always think positive for in this way you keep yourself up. Even when negative thoughts invade your space, think positive. This is a deliberate action for the default mode will be to build on negatives. To reverse this tendency you have to intentionally think positive. A positive outlook will result in a positive action. When you are fixed on the Cross then you can see all negative thoughts being cancelled. His blood cleanses you. You don't have to wait for a positive event to change you. You can create a positive event through positive thoughts. If you decide to exercise then this will lead to action and this action will get you out of your negative state. Negativity saps your energy. Knowing that you are in His hands will enable you to be positive in all circumstances. He has taken all the negativity and replaced it with His resurrection power. When you fix your mind on the positive power of God then like a jet engine you will take off and fly like an eagle.

UNDERSTANDING

The differences between us is not in our looks but in our beliefs. Our looks maybe different but this is not what divides us but our beliefs. Our beliefs determine if I am for you or against you. These differences can exist even within families. Differences in ideology in governments and nations cause conflict. So examine each others beliefs and assumptions and you will find that all other differences are minor. All barriers will be broken down when you are able to understand what is making the other person behave the way they do. This understanding of the other's perspective is what will bring about change. When others are understood then conflict will diminish. When one tries to convince the other of one owns view without understanding the other then conflict will ensue. Both sides need to be willing to understand then to be understood. This is the platform for change. Lack of understanding results in premature judgements. When you go with an attitude to understand rather then to be understood then all barriers come down. If you fail to understand than you will fail to be understood. When I understand your world then you become my friend. All other differences are superficial.

CREATED TO REJOICE

God's purpose in all creation is to have a relationship with His creation. When we relate with others we reflect God's love with His creation. When we reject what God has created we reject God. When a person gives you a gift and it is rejected then you are actually not only rejecting the gift but also the giver. Embrace all of God's creation and this is what true love means. God never rejects anyone. He loves everyone because He created us for a purpose. We can now choose to be channels of His love or channels for Satan's works. Many choose to go their own way and live in despair. Selfishness is the curse of sin. Sin turns a person inward. Whenever you find yourself turning inward, it is a sign of sin working in you. Sin is subtle in its ways of gratifying self. It never glorifies God or His creation. It is always negative and doom and gloom are its song. Praise, joy and worship is the song of God.Therefore watch how you walk today, in sin or in joy.

MOVE OUT

God is waiting for you to move out rather then stay in. Staying in is a regressive state while moving out is a progressive state. If you want to break through then you have to move out. Moving out means to move in the direction of change. When you are stuck in a rut then all you think of doing is remaining stuck. When you decide to move out of your rut then you will move till the rut becomes shallow enough for you to climb out of the rut and into freedom. Salvation is the same. You are stuck in a merry go round of no change. You decide to step out of this and you see a new world before you. Many are stuck in a rut of relationships or jobs or groups. These all are systems that are stuck. When you choose to go against the strain you will cause chaos but through this change will occur. Be a change agent and see the world change around you. The Holy Spirit will help you to achieve this as you move out in His power and see things change before you. Jesus did not conform to the rules of the day. He spoke with authority and changed the world from a rut to a path. The path led to eternal life and not to death. He died that I may have life and that eternal.

JESUS IS LORD

Jesus is Lord. He is the only Lord and Saviour of the world. There is no other Lord that can save you from an eternity in hell. This is the message that the world needs to hear and there is no other way to salvation. People of the Truth must be clear in their stand otherwise the message of the gospel will be confusing. There is no compromise as Jesus died for all. No Buddha, Shiva or Mohammed will do. Jesus and only Jesus will do. This is the passion that will drive the church to revival. Jesus died for me  and I must be prepared to die for Him. He purchased me with His own blood and now I have a hope of an eternity with Him. He rose from the dead and lives today to save all who will call on His Name. Will you join the millions who will die for Him and His cause? You will never be the same when you decide for Jesus. Self must die for Jesus to be Lord. Make Him Lord of your life today.

HE CARES FOR YOU

The Lord will make a way where there is no way. Just wait on Him and be blessed. He will come through for you in His time. He is a great Father of us all and His Father heart will never let you go. He is a sustainer of all things. He created you for His purpose. He will provide for you till the end. In God there is no beginning and no ending, for He is eternal. Therefore live as if life is an endless journey. This means you live fully for this new day and do all you can to worship and praise His Name. His Name is branded on your forehead. You belong to Him and nothing can take you away from Him. How good it is to know that we are together forever. There are things we lose on earth but this loss is nothing compared to the loss of a life in eternity with Him. See each contact you make today be your calling for ministry. When you  lead your life with a mission to save as many as possible from an eternity in hell then you will walk with a mission for life. Those who reject you, reject Him. Therefore do not take it personally, for You are responsible only to share the gift of salvation. Go boldly and share and be blessed.

ABUNDANT LIVING

Praise God who gives me the knowledge and wisdom I need when I need it. I need to stay in the Spirit and will have access to his wisdom all day. I need to pray in tongues as often as I can to stay in the Spirit. When conflicts and differences arise I will then have the wisdom to know what to do. The Spirit is ever willing but the flesh wants to do it, its own way. This is the problem you have. In the Spirit you can arise above the circumstances but in the flesh you are bound to the circumstances. In the Spirit you are free but in the flesh you are bound. In the Spirit Jesus is Lord but in the flesh you are lord. You have to choose daily to walk by the Spirit. This is the only way to live a victorious life. Then all the resources of the Spirit world will be available to you. Angels will minister to you and for you. Your  walk and talk will be a blessing to all. Many will be attracted to you and you will be a blessing to many. This is the way to live an abundant life in the Spirit. This is what Jesus promised. Now go and do the same.

FAITH IN GOD

Holy is the Lord and worthy of all praise and glory. He is and therefore you are. You are in Him and He is in you. He is the Father of all. He yearns to make Himself known to all but religion keeps Him out. Religion is man made road to God. Faith is God's way to Him. There are people of faith in all religions. They exercise their faith rather then their religious practices. God cannot be confined to one religious way. He reveals Himself to all who call on Him. He does not reject the Muslim or the Hindu. The devil is accessible to all too. He will infiltrate all who seek for truth. He will distort and disguise and deceive. When you seek Him with all your heart you will come to the place of liberty. God will guide you when you seek Him with all your heart. Many are the devices of the evil one who will tempt you to compromise and accept all things rather then the truth. Compromise has confused and distorted the truth. The truth will stand in the confusion and lead you into the light. Therefore do not fear those who are religious and bound, for they need to hear the Good News of salvation. The religious have imprisoned themselves through laws and rituals. This satisfies the flesh but leaves the spirit empty. Anything that is a ritual without faith is a wasted activity. Faith ultimately will determine your fellowship and intimacy with God.

TRUST IN JESUS

When all else fails, trust in Jesus. He is the Rock that never ever moves. He is the One who holds the world in his hands. When you trust Him you become like Him and can move and breathe in Him. He is the only one who can give you life and that eternal. Man can give birth to life but only temporal. God's life in you is eternal and this is what matters. This is what gives you hope and purpose. So whatever the weather you can praise Him because He lives forever. The whole dynamic of life changes when you live in eternity. You are not controlled by time and space for these are man made limitations. In God there is no time or space for time has no beginning or end. In Him you have the faith to transcend all limitations and so can expect the impossible. The impossible becomes possible in Him. This is not just words or feelings for He is transcendent. He is able to make possible what is impossible by His immanent presence. This is how the world can be changed when men put their faith in Him rather then what he sees and feels. Change your perceptions by lifting your eyes heavenward and not inward. Christ is on the throne and in Him all things are possible because He is alive.

REJOICE ALWAYS

The world is in motion and change occurs, good and bad. This is happening all the time and affects us only sometimes. When it hits us then we need to take action. Yet we must be prepared at all times.This preparation is what makes the difference between falling down or standing up in times of trouble. God is with you all the time but the consciousness of His presence is closest when you are in trouble. When you walk in the Spirit you are conscious of His presence all the time and not just sometime. God's presence in you enables you to overcome at all times. This is why you can rejoice at all times. The Bible exhorts you to rejoice and give thanks at all times and in all circumstances. This is a promise with a assurance of victory. He is victorious at all times so in Him you are victorious at all times. How is this possible you ask? Well God the Creator is in control at all times and in all seasons. Therefore He who is in control knows how much we can take. Bless the Lord O my soul and all within me bless His holy Name.

SURRENDER YOUR WILL

The Lord will work through you when you surrender all to Him. He is no respecter of persons and therefore He is able to flow through anyone who will surrender his will to Him. It is your will that is the central switch to all your faculties. Once you surrender your will it becomes the servant to the one you surrender to. Many are prepared to surrender their body and mind but not their will. The will is the executive centre that determines who will lead your life. In submission to Christ your will becomes His will. Now you are a slave to Christ. You are no more your own man but Christ's man. This is where all theology falls on its face because the theology of man does not surrender to God. The whole gospel can be summed up in one word, surrender. We sing songs like I surrender all but never realise that it is surrender of your will. When you surrender your will to God, you basically are saying that you have no rights. Such a man can be used by God unlimitedly. Is this what you desire? Then surrender your will to Him today and see the signs and wonders that will follow your surrender.

HEART CHANGE

Praise God for His goodness and faithfulness. He is Abba Father. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Trust in Him with all your heart. It is with the heart a man believes and is saved. The chart is where the spirit dwells. It is from the heart that all things emerge. It is the heart that needs to be changed. Heart change leads to head change and not the other way round. Head change helps but is limited because it is limited to the head level. There are many levels of change. The body is one level and the soul another and the spirit the third level. Just like the outer court, the inner court and the holy of holies. True communion with God occurs at the heart level. True worship is in spirit and in truth. The gifts and fruits of the Spirit arise from the heart level. This is why you cannot put on a face for long if it is not from a heart level. A crisis usually reveals what level you operate from. True saints will be tested and the testing is to enable you to trust God deeper. Jesus spent time in prayer to draw strength from His Father to combat the devil. Today worship God from the heart level and see the change in you.

BE STRONG

There will be many rumours of wars and changes in climate and turmoil all around but trust in the Lord and you will be safe. These are days when right is wrong and wrong is right. People will lose heart and will do anything to live. There will be no thought for the other for all is selfishness. There will be greed and exploitation for it will be right for one. Right for one means anything goes for no one will say you are wrong for wrong is right. Anything goes mentality will pervade through society and all will be welcome even abuse of the young and innocent. Abuse will be seen as healthy for it will train you to be tough. Everything will be explained as good for others, even poverty. Evil will rise and only a few will keep the straight and narrow way. Therefore be vigilant in these last days for all man will think is for themselves and not for the other. The spirit of greed will be so pervasive that all that is good will be scarce. These are the last days for this is like the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. Pray for strength to enable you to stand and not lose heart. Many will lose heart and stray and be lost. Only the strong will be firm to the end.

ON THE WORD OR IN THE WORD

You can build your life on God's Word or in God's Word. To build on God's word is to follow its commands. To build in God's word is to let His Word be the author and finisher of your life. The difference is one is a partnership and the other is an organic union. The one is a union of the head and the other is a union of the heart. Many unions are uniting at the head level. There is nothing wrong in this but the difference is that one can act like a christian or is a christian. One can act like Jesus or be Jesus. What sort of identity are you? Are you an actor or the real thing? An actor fools himself by believing he is right while the one who knows lives in the knowledge of a intimate relationship. Sometimes we start our journey by acting the role till we come into the experience of what it really is. Many are just acting a role. In a role one can perform but the real identity is different. Like a chameleon one can change your clothes and roles. Your true identity is in Christ. This organic union in Christ makes you separate from the actors. You are no more acting in a role. You have come home in Him.
