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.

THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN

What a prayer the Lord taught us to pray. Yet how little we believe in it. This is  a prayer of authority to rule as Kingdom people and establish His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven, His Kingdom in heaven is free of sickness and disease. There is peace, joy and love in His Kingdom. We need to pray these into being on earth. We cannot be satisfied in partial healing and peace. Where God's people rule there is no room for evil. When revival comes all evil will be driven out. God's people must expect God's Kingdom reign where they are. Anything less is giving into the enemy. This is why our battle is with principalities and powers in the heavenly realms. We have to overcome the enemy on our knees and then go and possess the land. No amount of talking about issues will get us there. Only persistent, aggressive prayer will do. Fast and prayer till the mountain is moved. God is on your side. Blind eyes will see and believe. Now we see but do not perceive. When our eyes are opened we will see and possess. Come Holy Spirit and move amongst us in power.

WALK IN YOUR NEW IDENTITY

 Imagine the Kingdom of God is within you. He lives in you. You carry in you the King. This realisation will make you a person who has the potential to do anything. This is your new identity. Yet many forget their new identity and walk in their old self. To walk in the old self is sin for the  old self walks under law and not grace. The new self walks by faith and it is sin not to walk by faith. Now choose to walk by faith and know that anything is possible for the King lives in you. We all have the same potential but it is only those who choose to walk by it will do exploits. Disappointments are not the end. It could be an opportunity to prove the works of God. Look at each disappointment as a hurdle to surmount. You can tap into the power in you to overcome all disappointments. These can be God's appointments to move ahead into greater things. Jesus faced many disappointments even the Cross, yet He moved forward and faced His Cross. You too are called to do the same in the power of the Spirit within you. So Lord help me to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh.

POWER OF THE BLOOD

What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Cleanse yourself daily in the blood. This will keep you conscious of the flow as His blood continuously washes you. This is God's grace in action. This is what keeps you pure and holy. When you lose consciousness of this fact then you allow your flesh and devil to harass you. This is the great salvation bought at a cost for you. Revel in it and be made whole. Oh how I thank God for His sacrifice on Calvary. Now all you can do is sing His praises all the day long. Money can't buy this salvation. Only faith in His finished work on the Cross. Will you accept Him? You reject this to your own detriment now and for eternity. Please accept Him today and see the difference. Do not let the enemy of your soul fool you. It is worth your life.

HIS NOW WORD

Blessed is the man who waits upon the Lord day and night and delights in His counsel. This man will flourish like a palm tree and bear much fruit for the Kingdom of God. His purpose is to glorify God and not the flesh. The flesh is dead to him and he is alive in the Spirit. The Spirit of God will guide him and nourish his soul. Such a man will not be prey to the opinions of others but he waits on the Lord for his counsel. For such a man the word of the Lord is his life. The word of God brings life to his flesh. All the words of man are like wind that comes and goes but the word of the Lord is eternal and never changes. His word is truth and when you live in the truth then you will will live by the truth. Jesus is the word made flesh and in Him you have life eternal. In Him you have nothing to fear for everything is under the blood. His blood has the power to cleanse every sin for it was all paid by His blood on the cross. This is the salvation you now experience in the flesh and will experience forever. His word is eternal and those who build their house on the Rock will last forever.

JESUS THE ONLY ANSWER

You are the chosen one of God and you must live in this truth. Living in this truth will enable you to trust Him who called you and has purposed to see you through to the end. Anything you ask in His Name is yes and amen. Therefore live as a saint in this dark and evil world. Jesus came into this world, the sinless Lamb of God. Imagine His pain as He witnessed the darkness all around Him of pain and greed. Greed is the sin that drove Adam and Eve out of the garden. Greed remains the motivating force that keeps man striving for more. More of everything. Poverty is the result of greed. Poverty is a crime and only those imprisoned by it know what a crime it is. More then poverty of things is the poverty of soul. How the devil has tricked us in yearning after gold rather then soul. The soul of man is deprived and so he fills his soul with things. Nothing can replace love, for love is divine. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son. Receive His Son and you will receive His love. His Son and love are one because God is love. When you love then you know you are of God. This is the unconditional love of God, not lust. Love turns to lust when man has no soul. Everything and everyone becomes an object for his lust. Love gives and does not take. Love is the only answer for this wicked world of sin and lust. This is why Jesus is the only answer for the world.

GOD IS NEAR

God is moving mightily upon the earth in these troubled times. The weather patterns are changing, the markets are in turmoil, marriages are breaking, sex is being exploited and the poor are hungry. Where will we turn for solace in these turbulent times? Nothing is safe and whatever security man has made is being blown apart. What is left is dust and decay. God moves into these situations when man gets desperate. God then manifests Himself in signs and wonders. When man comes to the end of himself then God has space to move in. Man fills his days with things and God is pushed out. Now is the time to move in and give man hope. In God there is no delay and no wrong. Everything is right in Him. This is why He is a righteous God. His righteousness is yours in Christ. Therefore rejoice and be glad for He is near to you when all things appear to go wrong.

LIFE ABUNDANT IN HIM

God is at work in you to prepare you for the days ahead. The days ahead will be full of challenges but this is why He wants you to walk by faith and not by sight. To walk by faith is to depend on Him and not on your own feelings and thoughts. Your own thoughts and feelings are inadequate to meet the need at hand. You tap into His resources when you walk by faith. You release His gifts and fruits through you when you walk by faith. Not to walk by faith is sin. God has planned it this way from the beginning but man uses his free will to go his own way. Adam did this and fell and since then all men have chosen to walk by his own way then His way. His way is easy because He knows what is best for you. Your way is ridden with anxiety because you don't know the way. You walk in darkness and the light you have is dim. Walking in the light as He is in the light is the sure way to walk upright. What is it that stops you from walking in the light? It is your ego that wants its own way. Your ego wants to control your destiny but this is all wind. You cannot control the next minute in your life yet you delude yourself that you can. Once you surrender all to Him then life becomes a delight. In Him alone is there life abundant. All else is wind.
