HIS PRESENCE

Presence is what makes the difference between power and no power. His presence is powerful to heal, deliver and restore. His presence is what changes you and your circumstance. His presence brings in the heavenly powers that can change even mud into gold. It has effect on the material and spiritual realm. This is why His anointing is what you need to live a powerful life. His anointing is His presence. He resides in you but He needs to invade your life not just occupy a room. The more rooms He invades the more His powerful presence will be felt. Even your clothes will be affected. This is why people used to take clothing that was touched by the anointing to clothe those who needed His healing. The shift is from I to He. When He is Lord then the I will decrease and He will increase. This is how His presence will increase and pervade all areas of your life. You will then be a vessel of His presence carrying His presence wherever you. Then you become His healing presence and everyone will want to be near you. His peace will spread as many come into His presence and in this way you usher His Kingdom where you are. Come Holy Spirit and invade my life today.

EMPOWERED IN HIM

Blessed He who calls you into His Kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. He comes to reign and rule in you. Come therefore and be filled. He knows the hunger of your heart and knows your desires. He has put these desires within you and He is able to help you meet them. In fact He is the only one who can meet those desires. He put them in you and then He meets them. What a God, what a Saviour. He is able to do anything through you because he lives within you. This is the key for your deliverance. He is in you to do it. He is not outside you but within you. This is like putting the skills and intelligence within you so you can perform. It is His gifts and fruits. This is the difference. You can walk in the flesh, in your own strength or in the Spirit, in His strength. What a marvellous work. You are a new creation in Him. This means you have the potential within you to walk like Jesus. This means that you can do what Jesus did and more because He lives in you. Hallelujah.

LIVING OUT HIS CALLING

Beauty and majesty belongs to Him. When you operate in Him you become beautiful and majestic like your King. You will sing and praise and be a vehicle of praise and glory to His mighty Name. He is in you to make you a beautiful emblem of His grace and mercy. You are His representative on earth to publicise His glory. He works through you to light up the world, to push back the forces of darkness and to usher in His light. This is your calling and responsibility. He has called you for a purpose and He will equip you to make it possible. Therefore rejoice and be glad and live your life for the sweet Name of Jesus.

WALK BY FAITH

Blessed is the Lord who calls you to be bold and to take risks in His Name. He is able to hold you up when the storms come. You are able to do this only because He lives in you. His life in you enables you to have hope and to press forward. He will give you ideas and impressions that will help you to plan ahead. Yet He wants you to live today and not tomorrow. Living for today is the best way to live. You have faith to trust Him with your tomorrows. Each day brings its challenges and all you need is faith to live for today. See how He opens the doors and keeps you looking upward. When you walk by faith the Spirit will enable you to take risks. These are challenges that you need to overcome with His help. You can live a victorious life in Him because He lives in you. Walk today with this calling in mind that He is in you. Now walk like a prince and see the mountains reduced to the size of a molehill.

POWER TO TRANSFORM

The Lord will lead you and guide through the maze of life. When you put your trust in Him then He will release His gifts and fruits through you. You will eat of His fruits. Remember these are all His fruits and His gifts. You are just a channel and no more. The gifts and fruits can stop flowing at anytime. This is why He demands complete surrender and then you change into His glory. His glory is like the sun shining brightly on your face. You are changed from glory to glory in His presence. This is why prayer is such an important key to transformation. A lot of thinking does not produce this change. It is to be still in His presence and one word from His mouth will transform you from within. There are mighty hurdles and rocks to overcome but H e is able who called you. Nothing is too big for Him. He is in you and you can trust Him to transform by His power and grace. Therefore go forth in the power of His Name and live each day to glorify His Name.

SURRENDER

God is in you to enable you to conquer and rule in the spirit. He is in you because this is the only way He can defeat sin in you. What a marvellous work to rule in you and to overrule sin. There is no one else who can do this . All other teachers operate from without while Jesus operates from within. He has sent His own Holy Spirit to reside in you. This is why you need to be filled every day so that you can be ruled by Him. This is what it means to acknowledge Him as Lord. There is no one else that can take His place once He is in residence within you. Everything is by His grace alone. It is His work in you. Therefore just be a vessel for His residence and He will cleanse you and make you an acceptable residence for His dwelling. Come Holy Spirit and do your work as I surrender all to you.

LIFE IN THE SPIRIT

Praise God who prepares you for great things as you wait on Him and depend on Him. He is worthy and He alone is able to give you the sustenance you need to live a full life. He is in you to lead you and guide you through the day. Precious are His thoughts and there is nothing that can beat Him. He is in you and so is available at all times. This is why monastic’s could spend hours in His presence and glow in His presence. This is not to isolate oneself but to be in love with the One who owns your soul. He loves you and in His love there is no better place then to be in His presence and in communion with Him. You can be in communion whenever and wherever you are. You are never alone and He loves to commune with you. You are transformed in His presence and His presence gives you life. This life is in the spirit which never stops. You live in the spirit whether in the flesh or in the spirit. When your flesh dies you continue your journey in the spirit. This is why the spirit life is essential as it outlasts the flesh life.

WALK IN THE SPIRIT

Praise God who gives you all you need for this day. He comes to you in the early hours of the morning to minister to you. This sets the tone for the whole day. You then step out into the day and realise you are not alone. You have a companion who walks with you through the day and helps you on your way. The Holy Spirit will give you the strategy to manoeuvre every hurdle and hindrance and overcome mightily. He is the source of your knowledge and wisdom. The world operates on physical data that can be seen. God works through the invisible realms of the Spirit and makes known to you the mysteries of the universe. Not everything is known but the Spirit knows everything. Therefore be led by the Spirit and grow. How good it is to attend to the school of the Spirit. He is in you and by faith you tap into His vast knowledge of wisdom. Wisdom to be able to discern and to judge and then to make choices that will enable you to overcome. Therefore walk by faith and see how your walk and talk will mirror your communion with the Spirit.

PREJUDICE

Prejudice is like cancer. It divides and separates and never unites. Prejudice is a big problem that can only be cancelled by repentance from it. In the Name of Jesus you can be delivered from it. It is how the ego is strengthened because it supports separation. Any form of separation serves the ego. The ego will defend its position because separation is what identifies it. Mankind is obsessed with the ego and its needs. You are trapped when you are ruled by your ego. Your ego is a slave driver. It will have its needs met at any cost. Its modus operandi is separation and identity through separation. Therefore prejudice serves to support the egn in its need to be different. To be different serves to strengthen the ego. Only through surrender can you defeat the ego. Therefore when you surrender your ego becomes powerless. The spirit becomes powerful and you are freed from the sin of prejudice. Lord I repent of my sin of prejudice.

FAITH IN THEETERNAL GOD

Many are the woes of those who are in the world. Their troubles multiply and their hope is in this world. However their hope does not last as their hearts will fail them. It is only those who hope in the Lord will live to enjoy the fruits of life. Those whose end is death have nothing to look forward to. They have their fear that they will be finished in time. Therefore the focus on keeping young and pretty. All their beauty will fade away as they lose heart. This is why the material world and all its systems will fade away. It is only the strong of heart will live in times of trouble. Trouble truly shows up those who trust in the Lord and those who trust in man. Wealth and popularity cannot stand in the day of trouble. It is what you have built internally that will stand in the day of reckoning. Everything else will be burnt up to cinders. The fires in Victoria are a call to the people to repent and turn from their wicked ways. Yet people are cold and they are not moved. Their hearts are so hardened that death and decay are a passing phase and does not move the heart. God is waiting for a people who are receptive to His heart and will turn to Him. Therefore do not be distracted by the city lights but be firm in your faith and be encouraged.

LIVING BY FAITH IN THE NOW

Now is the only time to rejoice and be glad. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is an illusion. Living in the now by faith is the only way to live a fruitful life. Mind patterns will keep you focussed in the past or the future. You must separate from these patterns. This is the only way you can change. As long as you are locked into the past you will never change. These past patterns are so powerful because they have been programmed into you over your life time. Now when you separate yourself from those past patterns they become like old friends who you refuse to associate with now. They become like old habits that are worn off and belong to yesterday. Now this is the way to break habits. Break them by separating your identity from them. By conscious presence you separate from their pattern and so from their power to control. Now only the present is of any use. Each minute becomes so precious for the now becomes everything. You feel and you see and you hear with a freshness devoid of past muck. You feel and you live like a saint. Your robes are washed clean and you wear the robe of righteousness in Christ. Now you know His presence with you and walk with Him and talk with Him. You become alive in Him. This is how you become a new man in Him. The old has past away behold the new has come.

ETERNITY IS YOUR DESTINY

God is at work in you to bring you to a place of power and excellence. See how He will give you the thoughts to overcome then to be overcome. When you focus in the now then the past and future cannot oppress you. He is in you all the time especially when you are feeling down. It is easy to feel good when you are feeling good. God is especially near when you are feeling down. Remember it is a feeling and it will pass. Everything that is tangible will pass. Only that which is eternal will last. Therefore focus on the things that are of eternal value. He is eternal and when you are in Him you have the things of eternal value within you. These are what belong to the Kingdom of God, love, joy, peace and righteousness. This is what will hold you together and in this there is no change. What is tangible is changeable. Therefore do not be surprised by change. Change can be for the better or worse but change is constant in a tangible world. You change and this is part of the course. However one day all this will pass and you will enter in His presence never to change again. In your eternal home you will be with your Saviour forever. This is your destiny and for your loved ones in Him. This is the joy that led people to suffer for a time for what is eternal. Therefore rejoice and be glad today as you face the day in resurrection power.

PRAISE THE LORD

Praise God who causes me to look up and not down. He makes me a warrior for the things that are good and right. He is my Lord and He causes me to do things that are right. He works in me and I am in Him. He protects me from the devil and his works. He gives me a heart of flesh. He gives me His heart of compassion and love. All I have is from Him and in Him I am glad. Precious is the Lord and I am complete in Him. I love Him so and in His hands I am blessed. Blessed is the Lord and blessed the works of His hands. I will bless the Lord at all times and in Him I will be glad. I will not turn to the right or to the left. I will look straight ahead and not be deviated from His plan for my life. In Him I know all His plans will be fulfilled. I live for the praise of His glory. I only live to praise Him for in Him alone is my being. Everything else is as nothing compared to Him. Praise the Name of the Lord.

MOMENT BY MOMENT

Power is released when you move out in faith. Faith in action releases the power to become. This is how God works from the heart and not the head. The head is to control the actions of the heart. Love without power is useless and power without love is dangerous. So come to the Cross where faith and love kiss and leads to resurrection life. It is through His resurrection that mankind will be saved through the power of His love. There is no love like His love which is eternal and has the power of eternal life behind it. It never wanes and never loses its power but is fresh all day and night to deliver what it promises. Come to the river of life and be refreshed. Live each moment as a new moment, never been there before. This is to live in intense awareness and purpose. Each moment comes as a new beginning as it is now and fresh and vital. Never let the new be taken up by the past. The past is past and never will be again. It is the present that is important and comes fresh as a new and fresh moment.

THE CROSS THE ONLY LASTING HOPE FOR HUMANITY

Many are the follies that follow the path of the world which is empowered by personal egos on the quest for fame and popularity. Once you step out of this race then you are able to set a new path in the service of humanity. This is the way of the Cross which is death to the selfish ego and oneness with Christ. You can only be one with Him when you have crucified self on the Cross. This is the holy transaction that occurs by faith and He transfers His life into yours. You are now free to be the person you were created to be and not a fabrication of your mind. All pain and suffering is caused by the mind in pursuit of freedom and power in its own way. When it can’t have it then suffering and pain is the result but this also gives the ego a purpose in the illness or sickness. Diseased organs continue to provide a purpose in the sickness of the mind. All disease is a succumbing to forces that prevail to support sickness rather then health. On this basis health is freedom from the pressures of the ego to survive in the social and family forces that control the individual. Powerful forces are at work to destroy you because negativity is the primary force that is at work in the world. People try to counteract this through positivity which works for a while but has no long term consequence because this is the answer of the ego. As long as the ego is in charge then all you are doing is to meet its need for survival whether through health or sickness. Come to the Cross which will set you free from this cycle of life.

MOVING IN THE MIRACULOUS

Praise the Lord for what He is going to do through you today. Everyday live in expectation of His miraculous power working through you. He will manifest His power through you as you walk in expectation of His manifest presence. When you walk in the consciousness of the Almighty you can expect anything. He moves through you and those surrendered to Him. He manifests Himself through you and brings about healing and restoration. Do not let evil threaten you because you have overcome the evil one through Jesus. He lives in you to perform His works. He works wonders and He is a wonderful Lord. Come into His powerful presence and expect miracles to manifest.

ETERNITY YOUR DESTINY

Another day another month. Time waits for no man. However time is only important for those limited by the dimension of time. Those who have eternity as their destiny don’t let time bother them. Time and space are non issues when eternity is your destiny. How liberating to be free from two forces that threaten mankind. Only in Jesus is this possible for He conquered death by rising from the dead. His resurrection power now works in you so that you can achieve the impossible. Nothing is now impossible as all is possible when time and space are not limitations. Your mind begins to work on a different plane and in God’s dimension anything is possible. What is not today is possible tomorrow. So be empowered today and live like a king for the King is in residence in you. His Kingdom is within you. Therefore come to His banqueting table and be glad.

FREEDOM

God is working in you to bring forth the beauty of His presence within you. When the outward dies then the inward will come forth. Just like a beacon of light will you shine as the outer shell collapses. The outer shell is your ego built up over the years as a protective cover to the assaults you have suffered. Once you realise that the Lord is your defence then the ego will let go and let the Lord take over. This is what it means to make Him Lord. He cannot be Lord when you are still in charge. He wants you to let go and let Him be Lord of your life. This is what the whole journey of life is about, that you may decrease and He may increase. This is the preparation for heavenly rule. To be a spirit filled man means that the ego must be displaced to allow room for Him. He will fill you up and you will become transparent and people will see the light of His presence within you and be touched. When you become transparent then His light will touch others and heal and set free the captive. You will be freed to free. You can only free others once you are free. To freedom you have been called. Therefore do not be caged again but be free in Him.

MIGHTY GOD

Hope is the key to breakthrough. Without faith it is impossible to move out in faith. Hope is the ingredient of faith. It sparks of faith and it brings in the miraculous. It is the vital ingredient to enter the impossible realm of the spirit. The spirit is moving mightily and He is waiting for people to tap into Him and His abundance in the heavenlies. Without the Spirit it is impossible to please God. Only the Spirit of God knows the mind of God. He is the Spirit of God and He reveals the will of God. He is present in you and wants you to move with Him. He will lead you to experience the wonders of the eternal realm where God is. This is the will of God for you. Therefore stay in the spirit and move with the spirit. Come Holy Spirit and fill me and change me into your image. I want to be a powerhouse for you for your glory and purpose.

HE IS LORD

Blessed is the Name of the Lord who heals and delivers and sets free. He is Saviour and Lord. Lord means ruler over all. All means all principalities and powers and rulers. When He is Lord then no other power can rule over you. When you make Jesus Lord of your life then you become His power house for His glory. His power is released through you by faith and you become His channel of healing to all. This is the word of the Lord to you today. Receive it and be healed. His presence in you is the assurance of His Lordship over your life. There is no one else who can fill this place. He is on the throne of your life. You are seated in heavenly places with Him. Rejoice and be glad that your name is written in the Lamb’s book of life.

GOD IS MY PROVIDER

Lord you are so good to me and you will provide for my son what you have provided for me. You are the all sufficient God. You lead each one and at the right time open the door. You did this for me. I am confident of this. Confidence produces results beyond expectations. Be confident in God. He is your Provider. He is the God of providence. He has only good planned for you. You will never be alone. Righteousness and peace will always follow you. You will be a light to the gentiles for the Lord’s light shines upon you. Your face will light up the place and the Lord will be honoured. He is the glory and lifter of your head. Walk by faith and you will never lose your way. Faith is like spiritual eyes that sees and walks boldly knowing that He who is leading is perfect in His guidance. He has led you through all these days and you have nothing to fear for the future. Come and be glad for He is in you and will shine brighter as the days go by. Perfect is the Lord and He will perfect your ways.

LIVING OUT MY FAITH

I love the Lord and He is my God. He leads me through quiet waters and He is my rod and staff in times of trouble. He is with me at all times and therefore I am never alone. His Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. He leads me and guides me all the days of my life. Even when I am close to the grave He is with me. When I face torment He is with me. When I am on the mountain top He is with me. He is with me all the time and in all places. He will never leave me or forsake me. He is my Lord and I love Him. With Him I can do anything and go any place. With Him I can do anything. Therefore I will move out in faith and never fear for He is with me all the time and all the way. His banner over me is love. His word replaces all my thoughts. With His word in me I operate in His power to act out His word. This is Kingdom living and not earthly living. Kingdom mentality leads to Kingdom living.

TRANSFORMED BY THE LOVE OF JESUS

God works through your spirit. His Spirit in you will lead you and guide you. He will draw your attention to the things that matter to Him. He is the God of the unrighteous and righteous. There are so many needs in the world but He will direct your attention to the needs of those He wants you to meet. Lord forgive me for my tardiness. I have got so comfortable in my own little world. Yet there are so many who today are dying without a Saviour. Help me to be your witness for the dying. The greatest sin in the world is loneliness. It is a sin for the selfishness of this generation has led many to be left on their own. The only counter measure is the love of Jesus. He came for those who were destitute, without father or mother. He came for the poor in spirit. These are the ones who have everything but still are poor. Many try and fill this void through things but things can never satisfy this void. Religion cannot satisfy this void. Only the One who suffered and died and rose again can satisfy this void. He is available to all who will call on His Name. His Name is the most beautiful Name on earth and in heaven. Determine to only reflect His Name at all times and in all places.

ASSURANCE

God is in the midst of you and you have nothing to fear. You are in Him and He is in you. You have an assurance that no insurance can provide. This assurance is sure and nothing can take it away from you. His presence in you is the only assurance you need. What else can you add when the Creator of the world has chosen to live in you. Now all you need is in you. His fruits and gifts operate through you. All you need to do is tap into it and they will be manifested. His glory surrounds you like the noon day sun. Even when the clouds come His glory is around you. When you call on Him He will come close to you. His hand will lead you through the maze and bring you to the place of eternal bliss. What is left to do is to shine as His light till all that is of darkness will have to recede and disappear. The light of His presence is what will make the darkness disappear. Come Holy Spirit and shine through me today.

GRATEFULNESS

God leads you through the maze of life and you are thankful for His leading. He is working in you and through you all day and night. His hand is upon you and all you can do is thank Him for His grace and mercy. A grateful heart will multiply blessings. When you can see God’s hand at work in your life then it is time to move forward with optimism. He loves to reveal His mind to those who trust Him. All He needs is your commitment. Everything else is sugar coating to the cake of commitment. He is always with you and His ministering angels are with you. This is why you will never be alone for He is always with you. Even in your down times He is with you. Recognise this and you will enjoy your down times. Why? because you know He is with you during your down times. Who else do you need when you have Him all the time. Now the only need is to be His witness where ever you go. In this way you force darkness back and let the light of His presence shine through you. In this way you are a light as He was the light when He walked on earth. Now you are His representative, dispelling darkness and negativity and bringing in the light of His glory. Praise the Name of the Lord.

ABUNDANCE MENTALITY

Praise God who gives without reservation and loves to give. He knows nothing better then to give of His bounty. Our God is relentless in His giving. He loves to bless. He is a positive God. There is no negativity in Him. He does not cause suffering but we through our own bad choices cause suffering upon ourselves. Of course His adversary the devil will want us to think that God is responsible for our suffering. God will turn your suffering into joy. When you accept all things then all those things will turn to your benefit. This is how God will turn your mountain into a molehill. He is a God of abundance. When you think like Him then you will rejoice in His abundance. Yes pain and suffering are all around you but you are saved from these because He is your protector. Even when you go through the valley of death He is with you. Jesus will never leave you alone. Accept where you are and new avenues will open up to you. Resistance only causes suffering. What you resist becomes a mountain. What you accept becomes a molehill. When you abide in Him then nothing is too hard for He is in you to help you overcome. So in Him you can see all negativity as part of the process of change towards abundance. An abundance mentality will attract abundance. In God you are abundant for He is rich and abundant.

GOD IS MIGHTY TO SAVE

21/1/10 GOD IS MIGHTY TO SAVE

God is mighty to save all who call on His Name. Many in Haiti looked to Him in their time of despair. When death strikes at the door of your heart call on Jesus to save you. He is the only One who can save you. Jesus the Saviour of the world is waiting and will come in and save you when you call on Him. He is available to all. What is happening in the world is a fore runner of things to come. God is getting the attention of people to turn from their wicked ways and to turn to Him. These truly are the last days when evil will rise but good will overcome evil. The good of people will be revealed to transform evil. The days of evil are numbered. Men will see how evil will rise and the only way to reverse it, is to turn to God. Science does not have the answers for it this troubled age. Religion does not have the answers. Only Jesus has the answer for He is the way the Truth and the Life. He whose life is the answer will come through for the Jew and the Gentile in the last days. When the nation of Israel recognises Jesus as the Messiah then the whole world will turn to Him. The Jewish nation is an example to the world of what God can do. It will be destroyed but will rise again in the last days as a symbol of God’s mercy and grace. So give up your small ambitions and look to Him alone for your salvation. Thankyou Jesus.

HIS WORD IS LIFE

20/1/10 HIS WORD IS LIFE

God will send you the thoughts you need at the time of your need to encourage you. He is always there especially during times of trouble. You can look to Him to send you His thoughts through His Holy Spirit. How exciting to know this and His words will be like manna to you. His words are life and bread to you. Without His word you will starve and die. His words are more precious then food for your soul. Look to Him to give you the words of life. Many perish because they do not feed on His word. They rather have a diet of worms from the world then His word. His words are health and life to your bones. They will inspire and cause you to want more. His words give life and in His life giving words is your source of hope. His word cannot be separated from His life. His words contain life and His life is contained in His words. This is why you need to eat His words and meditate on them till they become like blood and water. Water to refresh and blood to give you life. His words will heal you of all ailments and give you health and vitality. Trust Him with all your heart and He will lead you from victory to victory.

GOD'S POWER

19/1/10 POWER OF GOD

The power of God is the energy that will move mountains. Without power there will be no movement. Power can be from different sources. God’s power is immeasurable. Fuel power is limited. God’s power is unlimited. You need the power of God to move mountains in your life. It is not feeling, not knowledge but His presence. His presence will transform and reform. He is in you and around you. When Jesus walked on earth He moved in the power of God. He turned water into wine and He multiplied loaves and fishes. He raised man from the dead and He healed the sick and the lame. This is the power of God. No other power can do this. You need the power of God and His power is limitless. You receive His power through faith. His faith when you connect with Him. Like electricity that you can’t see so is God’s power. It is distributed freely to those who connect with Him. Connect with Him today and be transformed by His power. Changed into His glory by His power. This is the word of the Lord.

GOD IS

18/1/10 GOD IS

Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise Him above you heavenly hosts. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. God is relentless in pursuing His purposes. He is relentless in pursuing you till He has you for Himself. He is relentless in pursuing His beloved. Destruction and death follow those who pursue evil. He blesses those who pursue Him. Our God protects those who fear Him. Death is just a window into the eternal. Death is not to be feared for it brings forth new life. This life, death cannot destroy any more because this life is hid in God. Why follow the fancy of the world that keeps itself entertained through its sensual pleasures. When those pleasures cease then life comes to a halt. Destruction brings to the know that these pleasures are transitory and will awaken the deeper issues of life. God allows these disturbances in nature so that man will awaken to his fragile state. Only God is real, everything else is maya, an illusion that man holds on to tightly. This illusion is destroyed when destruction enters his world. The illusion of reality crumbles and reality of death comes to the fore. Hopelessness shows its face and helplessness leads to an entrance into the spiritual. The death of the ego awakens the deep and the deep comes forth to touch the infinite. God dwells in infinity and with God all is rest despite the destruction around you. Abide in Him and he will abide in you.

ABIDE IN ME

17/1/10 ABIDE IN ME

Many are the burdens and trials that will confront you but the Lord is with you and will comfort you. You have forsaken all to follow Him and He has forsaken all to be with you. Abide in Me and I will abide in you. This promise is the most comforting and powerful word of our Lord. He has chosen to abide in me. He sent His Holy Spirit so that he could achieve this. He knows I am weak but He is strong. As long as I am aware of my fleshly state then I will never lose sight of my vulnerable state. Only in His Spirit can I stay sane in this world of sin and despair. I am lost without Him. I am bombarded by many thoughts and feelings but He keeps me sane. He protects me from myself. He knows me and keeps me centred in Him. Without Him I am nothing. In the flesh I will boast of my achievements but these are like dung compared to what He has done for me. Therefore I am humbled and at His mercy. I live each day in the knowledge that this maybe my last day. Yet I am comforted for eternity is my destiny in Him. I am so privileged in Him. I therefore will sing of His praises all the days of my life. Praise be to God and in His Son Jesus.

FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE

16/1/10 FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE

Faith, hope and love are the 3 values that are vital to our walk in the spirit. One value energises the other. Love without faith and hope will be draining. Also faith and hope without love will be selfish. Like our triune God so is love, hope and faith. All 3 go together and operate together. When they do operate together then this produces wholeness. The mind will try and separate these for understanding. The Spirit is one and cannot be separated just as God is one with 3 aspects. When all 3 values are working together then fruit will be produced that is lasting and refreshing. Each value stimulates the other into action. Faith, hope and love results in action. Faith without love can exercise the gifts but the fruits may not last. It is unconditional love that keeps the fruit going. Empowered through these 3 can result in a life that is supernatural. What this world needs is love, faith and hope. Love in a lustful world, hope in a hopeless world and faith in a fearful world. All 3 will reverse the negativity that is pulling the world into hell.

GOD'S PROMISES

15/1/10 GOD’S PROMISES

People will come and go but you must be fixed in your calling and purpose. This is the only way to lead your life. Many are the opinions and positions people will take. Knowing yourself and what you want will enable you to stand fast in times of change. Change is all around you. Disasters, events and tragedy are all around you but you must stand the course. You must be true to yourself otherwise you will be influenced by the changes around you. You must stay fixed within you by standing on the Rock of all ages. This is the only way you can be a light in dark times. His light will shine through you and you will be a beacon of hope rather then part of the darkness. In this way you usher in the Kingdom of heaven on earth. Therefore stand fast in what you believe. Opposing voices will come and go. The steadfast will stand fast and not be disturbed by the changes. God is with you and His promises are your anchors in the life of change.

LIVING IN KINGDOM MENTALITY

1/1/10 FREEDOM

Wow another year. Yet for the Lord who is eternal this is nothing. Man is limited by time because his body grows old. Sin limits everything, the body, soul and spirit. In the body you are limited. Jesus was limited to time and space in His earthly body. He now reigns on high and rules from His heavenly throne. What a difference! To be limited is to die daily as everything in you degrades through age. This is the curse that was passed on. Yet man boasts of his invulnerability. This is a delusion. He is limited and therefore cannot do the works of God. Jesus was not limited in Spirit because He was anointed without measure. Your flesh limits you but in the Spirit you can do the same works that Jesus did. Now live in the Spirit as Jesus did and see how your day takes a new dimension. Your thoughts and feelings will soar and be like God’s thoughts and feelings. It is a leap into the supernatural. Supernatural thoughts lead to supernatural living. This is your inheritance in Christ. In Him you are beyond limits. You enter the realm of the limitless. See how faith ushers in the supernatural. In this dimension you are like God for you operate in this realm. To the sceptic this is blindness for he is spiritually blind. Jesus came to open the eyes of the blind so that he can be free from his prison of the flesh.

2/1/10 IN HIM

Blessed are those who cry out for God for they will be blessed. God calls you to Himself to separate yourself for Him. There are many in the world who belong to the world. God wants you to belong to Him. Be sold out for Him. This is the only way to glorify Him. He is present in you and will speak through you. It is His presence that enables you to shine for Him. He is present in you for a purpose. His purpose is to glorify Him through you. You are the evidence of His presence. He has chosen to reveal Himself through you. God created you for a time like this. He has equipped you with all that you need to fulfil His mission. Therefore live each day to the full and carry His presence with you. The Cross around your neck is a sign for all to see that you belong to Him. He will bless others through this sign. Let Him shine through you till the whole world looks to Him for salvation. He is all you need and you are complete in Him. Trust Him to work through you.

3/1/10 IN HIM I AM FREE

God is good and His banner over you is love. He is the lover of your soul and in Him you have all you need to live a victorious life. He is preparing you for times like this when you will need to depend on Him alone. He is your Saviour and friend at all times. In Him you have all you need to live an abundant life. Your life is hid in Him for eternity. Now you can live freely knowing that He is with you 24/7. What a life to know that He is in me and around me. I am truly blessed. Now I can live freely. All the thoughts and impulses that the devil sends I can cancel in the Name of Jesus. I don’t have to give into these impulses. I can live in the realm of His holiness as I plead His cleansing blood over me. I am shielded and protected by His armour. I am safe in Him. Jesus was tormented too and He had to suffer so that He could experience all things. Now I can say I am free for Jesus has suffered and paid the price on my behalf. He would do this just for me so that I am set free. What a Saviour, what a lover of my soul. Come Holy Spirit and burn this message into my heart and mind. In Him I am free.

4/1/10 UNITY IN THE SPIRIT

What a life in the Spirit. Living in the Spirit is the secret to abundant living. In Him I am free to be. In Him every minute is precious. In Him nothing is wasted. Without Him everything is an illusion. In Him I am able and alive. I am alive in Him and eternity is my destiny. In eternity there is no lack, no beginning and no ending. Life and death are one. Alive in the flesh and alive in the Spirit. This is God kind of living and this will never end. There is no tomorrow and no yesterday. All is today and this is all that matters. There is nothing to worry about tomorrow and nothing to fear about yesterday. All there is, is today. In Him I have everything I need. I worry for nothing because worry is a symptom of the fleshly mind. The fleshly mind thrives in conflict and difference because this gives it an identity. Difference enables separateness and this is what gives a person an identity. Without difference there is no conflict. The ego finds this a threat for it needs to be different to survive. Survival is essential for the ego. The egoic mind wants to be different so that it can be noticed. In the Spirit is your true identity. In the Spirit difference is not a threat for all is one. In the Spirit there is no difference for we are all one in the Spirit. The Spirit is one and unites all things. In this is true love not based on colour, race or sex. In this alone is there unity and peace. Difference is created by the mind and keeps us from each other and fear rules the day.

5/1/10 THE CROSS

The Cross is my salvation and in it I will rejoice. Without the Cross there is no salvation. In the Cross alone is my hope for my Redeemer lives. He lives, is my song and because He lives I have hope for tomorrow. He gives me all I need to live a sanctified life. The tormentor of my soul comes to entice me but no sin of the flesh can last for it is an illusion. Fantasy is as much an illusion as the life of form. The formless life of the Spirit is the only reality that is. Everything else is an illusion. I will spend my time and energy in the Spirit then in the illusion of form. As I spend more time in the Spirit the less of an illusory experience of the form I will entertain. The only way out is not through resistance but in investment in the Spirit. One way to resist sin is through fleshly activity. The other way is through the Spirit. The Spirit is above the flesh and so through the Spirit I can transmute the sins of the flesh into goodness. The base emotions of the flesh of anger, envy, pride will be transmuted by the Spirit into joy, love, peace and patience. This is the work of the Cross to cross out all that is banal and to bring all that is good into fruition. Only the Cross is sufficient to do this work by the Spirit. This is why Jesus said it is finished on the Cross. He had once and for all dealt the death blow to sin. Now I am free to be because He has set me free. Hallelujah what a Saviour, what a salvation.

6/1/10 LIFE

Presence is light. When you walk in the consciousness of His presence then no darkness can invade you. His light is His presence and if you walk in the light as He is in the light then the blood of Jesus will continuously cleanse you. In Him is no darkness. His Kingdom is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. His Word is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. Therefore you can hope in Him. He is in you and He is your counsellor and so you don’t need to seek anyone else. Seek Him first and let others be secondary. In this way you acknowledge His Lordship and no other advisor will suffice. His answers come through your thoughts. You know they are from Him because your spirit will identify with them. Don’t let your mind then water them down. The sin of rationalism has robbed this world of the light and men walk in darkness. Not knowing who they are they become like animals, depraved and lost. His light will bring them back into His presence and His light will lighten their conscience and make them alive again. Most exist and live lives like robots. They are unconscious to life and so are unconscious to living life in the abundance they were created for. As automatons they travel through life and then are forgotten. In Him you live with a purpose and a destiny and your anthem is, nothing but the Cross, that cancels all sin and prepares you for resurrection life.

7/1/10 LOVE IS PRESENCE

Love is presence and when one is operating in presence then true love emanates from your spirit. Spirit and presence are the same thing. In the Spirit you are not affected by ego needs. The ego or false self operates from the spirit of selfishness. It cannot see anything else then its own needs. Everything revolves around its need. This is why it will do anything to meet that need. The need for love, attention etc. Selfishness will breed the same. Others around you are a reflection of you. When you a walk in the Spirit then others will reflect this too. Communication from presence enables others to do the same. When you operate in the spirit then you spark the spirit in others. This is why operating in the now enables you to love purely. In fantasy you are always walking in the flesh. The flesh likes to gloat. Gloating gets you no where. So the key to overcoming the desires of the flesh is to walk in the spirit. Come Holy Spirit and burn this message in me.

8/1/10 POWER FROM ON HIGH

Praise God who calls me His own and establishes my steps. God is above your judgemental and lawful mind. He is a God of grace and understands your weaknesses. He is so gracious to you that you live only because of His mercy and grace. His blood cleanses you continuously and so no sin can stick to you. No demons have power over you. Your destiny is sealed by His promise that He will never leave you nor forsake you. In Him you are one in Spirit with His Spirit. In spirit you are an eternal being empowered from heaven and living a life of abundance. His resurrection power will enable you to have power over the material world. God shows His power in situations where human endeavours would fail. He is in you and operates through you. He makes His miraculous power operate through you so that the world would be convinced of sin and righteousness. Sin because the god of this world is judged and righteousness because the Kingdom of God is at hand. Live today in the miraculous and see all your enemies put to nought. Hallelujah my Redeemer lives.

9/1/10 ETERNAL LIFE

God is good and His banner over you is love. God is good and His love is limitless. Only an eternal life can have limitless love. Everything material is limited and transitional. This world is limited in its capacity, for death and decay is the course of life. Eternal life in the spirit is everlasting and so has a life that never dies. It is eternal and has the quality of God. God is eternal and never dies. The quality of life you embrace will determine the outcome of your life. A temporary life will always live in fear, for death is always round the corner. The cycle of death and decay around you makes you aware that nothing lasts. However man is unconscious to death because in this way he can continue to maintain the illusion of life. Life is an illusion till it meets death. This is the curse of sin and sickness and evil. Therefore embrace eternity and live. Life in Christ is the only life worth living. Everything else promises much but delivers nothing. Today live life in the eternal realm of the Spirit.

10/1/10 HOME

The Lord has called you home to be with Him forever. His home is within you. In Him you are safe and secure and His Holy Spirit will be with you in all your ways. He is your rear guard and will protect you from the unseen forces that are out to destroy you. You will stand like Daniel in the lion’s den and not fear. Fear has been overcome because the Victor resides in you. God has made His home in you and so He will direct your thoughts and intentions of your heart. He will glorify His Name through you. All you need to do is submit to Him and surrender each situation to Him. In this way you abide under His covering and will shine like the noon day sun. Thank you Lord for your presence in me and with me. That’s all I need and everything else is the topping.

11/1/10 ACTION

God is calling you to a place of victory in Him. You have been prepared for this over the years. Now is the time of your deliverance. No evil can control you because He is within you. Keep your eyes on Jesus all the time. Fantasy is a waste of time. The only thing real is what you experience now. Living in fantasy is like living in wonderland. It is never real. It is like watching movies, surreal. Why waste your time in fantasy when it is a waste of time. It is like hot air which achieves nothing. Better to bask in the spirit then indulge in fantasy. Your fantasy is only real in your head. Action is what matters. Thoughts are free but action costs. Therefore act today and deprive yourself of fantasy.

12/1/10 REDEMPTION

God is at work in you and will enable you to overcome all barriers to push forward into the realm of His presence. Few break through into His realm. He is Lord and He will not entertain half hearted persons. He is holy and He expects His followers to pursue holiness. Holiness is surrender to Him. Surrender means death to the selfish ego. The ego only thinks in terms of itself and its needs. God is always thinking of you and your needs. In Him all your needs will be satisfied. Therefore look to Him and He will counsel you and provide you with the means to meet your need. He is righteous and each situation of conflict is an opportunity for transformation and transmutation. Come to the river of life and be redeemed by the precious blood of the Lamb.

conscience

16/12/07 CONSCIENCE

Conscience is the science of moral development. Conscience grows as knowledge grows. Your conscience is the result of years of grooming in the Word and life experience. Life experience without knowledge leads to a warped conscience. Children learn through experience and later their knowledge informs their experience. This is why the Word says that you need to be transformed by the renewing of your thinking. Your thinking changes as you read and meditate on His Word. Experiences in the world will give rise to certain ways of thinking and doing. The Word then washes your mind and renews your thinking which then results in new behaviour. Ultimately what you read and see determines your thinking. This age is bombarded with images and sounds that influence their thinking and so their conscience. Visual imagery gives a person a virtual sense of life. It deprives him of reality because he lives in a virtually bombarded world. People who live and move with people know what reality is. Fantasy is encouraged through virtual reality. The TV has robbed many of a real sense of reality and therefore their consciences are seared by the virtual reality displayed on the screens. This age has lost its touch with reality and therefore they don’t know what is real and what is an illusion of the real. Their consciences are seared and they live as if their lives are a motion picture and they are the actors. What a travesty this is to live one’s life in this way and at the end realise that it was all in vain. This is the reason for the increasing alienation of society from the heart of community. When one disconnects from community then life becomes a lonely journey on planet earth. The return to community living is the only way to stop this slippery path to alienation. The increasing breakdown in relationships is one indicator of this alienation. Multiple partners are just play things for play boys and girls. Life is a merry go round and there is no meaning or purpose. This will result in increasing suicide and destruction. Wars will increase as war is a sign of alienation. Wars bring people together for a common purpose. Internal wars erupt into external wars and peace is beyond your reach. Disillusion and despair will result in annihilation of the human race.i

CONFRONT THE ISSUE AND PUT OUT THE FIRE

25/10/07 CONFRONT THE ISSUE AND PUT OUT THE FIRE.

The truth sometimes hurts. However it is important to be aware of the need to support people who fear the truth. Jesus never condemned anyone even though he spoke the truth. The Pharisees hated him for this. You can never control the reactions of another. They react in response to their own guilt. Instead of taking responsibility for their guilt they will direct their reaction to another and blame the other. In this process they damage not only themselves but others. Sin will always cause you to blame others then take responsibility for it. This is why wars are fought because mankind is controlled by sin. One action leads to a reaction and before you know it, the initial action is covered by multiple reactions. The issues concerned are covered up by the reactions and lost in the process. Feelings control further actions and defences are up and cloud the issue. The issue is survival at any cost rather then looking at confronting the sin that caused the reaction. War is inevitable for blame and counter blame has clouded the issue. Always confront the issue and responsibility for it and defuse the situation. Reactions never get you anywhere. It just confuses everyone as you get lost in the cloud of fire and smoke. You are fighting the fire rather then solving the issue. Confront the issue and put out the fire.

LOOK FOR GOD IN OTHERS

20/10/07 LOOK FOR GOD IN OTHERS

Precious is the Lord and His faithfulness and goodness is above measure. He is the crowning glory of my life and in Him I am satisfied. I am His and He is mine and in Him is everlasting joy. I love the Lord and He is the source of all my being and love and life. Without Him I am nothing. In Him I am. I am a person and in Him I feel complete. Therefore as I carry the light of life in me, I am the light of life. This is a most glorious and amazing statement. Jesus said these words and He and I are one just as the Father and Jesus are one. The Holy Spirit now makes this a now experience. This follows that I have the capacity to be like God because God is in me. Yet I know I am human and prone to sin. The sin consciousness will enable me to be more God conscious. When sin tries to control me I have an escape through the Holy Spirit to overcome in the Spirit. Hallelujah what a salvation. So now nothing is impossible for me because God lives in me. God’s address is me as God resides in me. So when I see this then I walk in awe and look for God in others. For every kind of sinful behaviour I will look for the opposite good in the other. A lying tongue hides truthfulness. A jealous heart hides love. I will look for the opposite good in the bad rather then look for the bad in the good. This is a change in perception for I will look for the positives then the negatives. The world will focus on the negatives. Once the negatives are peeled off then the positive will emerge. When you see God in others then you will stop looking for the negative. i

REDEMPTION

1/10/07 REDEMPTION

The Lord is good and His faithfulness is for ever. He is abundant love and His ways are higher then our ways. He is above all things and in Him all your desires will be met. He is the Alpha and Omega and in Him all things have their being. His righteousness will keep you in His ways. He is a God of justice and might. His might will overthrow the rebellion of the wicked and His house will be sanctified. God is moving in these days to claim His people from the ways of this world. God is preparing a bride for the return of His Son, Jesus. All who wait for Him will be satisfied. This waiting is a test of patience for it requires trust and diligence. Only those who are prepared to wait will know the experience of the joy of waiting. Time is not a factor in God’s agenda for He is eternal. You too need to think and move like God to know His mind and purpose. His purpose is to redeem all mankind and not just a few. The time has come for His minions to invade planet earth and redeem all who call on Him. He has made us in His image and our hearts will only be satisfied in Him. i

HABITS

3/9/07 HABITS

Habits are like patterns that follow a set trail and is automatic. Behaviours are also habitual. These habitual behaviours then become part of one’s normal routine operation. This then becomes a normal neural pattern in the brain. The brain executes this pattern and this becomes a part of your character. This then dictates how you lead your life. Such patterns can be changed as new patterns are executed. Like routines can be changed so also patterns. Change is difficult but once the pattern is set it becomes easy. All of life is to do with how we behave. We can be friendly or difficult. Both are patterns, one based on love and the other on fear. By faith the fear based behaviours can be changed to love based behaviours. A change of heart will result in new behaviours being established. Therefore much of what you see as behaviours are just a exhibition of fear based or love based patterns. Medication is not the answer to this. Habits can only be changed through a change of heart. Behaviours can be controlled but real change comes through a heart change. Jesus came to give us a new heart and then put His Spirit in it to enable us to live a new life based on love. His love changes us and we become new creatures. However we trust our old familiar patterns and resist the change into the new. Change is threatening as it moves away from deep held beliefs that have been ingrained in us through generations. Departing from this familial pattern is like betrayal of the family. True conversion is like that. It is following a new pattern. The old is gone and the new has come. This takes time but God is able. Therefore trust Him to help you change as you allow Him to change you by the renewal of your mind.im Him

THOUGHTS

5/8/07 THOUGHTS

Thoughts are the source of your abundance or poverty. The thoughts you entertain will determine the outcome of your day. Jesus always thought what His Father thought and therefore His life was filled with the Word of God. The Word of God then became flesh so that we could then have the life of the Son of God. This is what Jesus has done through His death and resurrection. His life becomes your life in the flesh. Now you have the Word of Life within you and His life in you will create and not destroy. This is what the world needs. His Word, not just in print but in life. His thoughts then begin to do the life giving work of restoring your life as He designed it for. Your destiny is now in Him. His thoughts become your thoughts. All you now need to do now is to reject the thoughts that are sent to oppress you. This is the battle that goes on in your soul. Now you know how to fight this battle by calling on the Lord. This what Jesus did when He was attacked. He went to the Father to seek His face and returned to minister empowered with His thoughts. This is what finally determines the outcome of your life, your thoughts. Come now and be refreshed with His thoughts today

Inner healing

21/1/07 Inner healing

The key to release in the present is to be able to wipe out the past. The Holy Spirit will wipe out the past and give you a new tape. The memories of the past will be present. What He wipes out are the emotions associated with the memories. A hurt memory has power to imprison more then a physical prison. Once the hurt associated with the memory is removed then what is left is a print out. The print out has no life then what it is, a print. The life in the memory is in the emotion associated with the memory. This the builds in fear and guilt. Once the fear and guilt are removed then you are free to be. This is the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit pours in His love and now you are no more bound by fear but by love. How therapeutic is this. The healing love of Jesus comes in as you surrender to Him and by faith receive His healing. Now in place of fear you only feel love. Your perceptions change and therefore you see situations in a different light and therefore your responses are different. You no longer have to go over the past tapes to revise them. The revision is unnecessary because there is nothing to revise. Everything is new and clean. Now through the power of the Holy Spirit you begin to put in new programs based on love and not fear. Fear clouds everything you do if you have never known love. The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to love out fear and guilt, the main emotions that cripple many lives. As you listen to the Holy Spirit, He programs you with His loving words. Your memories change and you begin to see and do in a new way. You attempt new things and you set new goals. Faith, love and hope are the new language of your heart and mind. You take every step by faith and this builds up an experience that enables you to take further steps.

LIVING AT PEACE WITH ONESELF

19/1/07 Living at peace with oneself

God reveals His mind to those who seek Him. It is so good to know that I can seek the Lord’s mind when my mind is assaulted with negativity. Satan will try to discourage and pollute my mind but Jesus saves. Jesus saves me from the pollution by cleansing me with His blood. He cleanses me so that I can be free from the influences of the world, ego and the devil. All these 3 challenge me daily. I seek the Lord when I am undergoing trial and temptation. He pulls me through and up and above these clouds of despair. I despair of myself sometimes at the thoughts I have but the Lord comes and saves me from their assault. I am safe in the hands of the Lord. I don’t have to run away and hide. I have a hiding and resting place in Him. At the end of the day I have to live with myself. I can never be safe in the presence of another how ever close that relationship is. The only safe place is with the Lord. The Lord and I are a majority and in Him I have eternal peace and bliss. It is living in the presence of the Lord that secures my peace and rest and joy. Come my soul and rest in the Lord and His salvation. A man who knows how to live at peace with himself has found life.

Practicing the presence of God

17/1/07 Practicing the presence of God

God is present with you all the time. He is therefore available to you all the time. He is never absent from you. You feel Him when you need him. He is closer then a brother. The Holy Spirit is omnipresent. This means that His presence is there all the time. This should make you glad for His presence is the essence of life. His presence is what gives you meaning and purpose. Without Him you are nothing. With Him you have everything for life and love. This is why the active practice of the presence of God is so important. Prayer is the active practice of the presence of God. When you go about your life practicing the presence of God, you become the light that shines in a dark world. All the demonic activity in darkness is dispelled as the light casts out the darkness. Therefore practice the presence of God today and see how the light will bring peace and His presence into your surroundings.

Jesus and His Word are one

12/1/07 Jesus and His Word are one.

The bread that Jesus speaks of is His Word. His Word eaten has eternal life in it. You will never be hungry for it is like manna from heaven. It nourishes every area of your life. Without His Word you will decay and perish. His Word will preserve you for eternity. His Word is like a preservative except that the preservative in this case gives life. Life is in the Word. Jesus and His Word are one. You cannot separate Jesus from His Word. His Word gives life. In the beginning was the Word and the Word became flesh and dwelt among men. This is the Word that He is talking about when He refers to the bread of heaven. The Word of God has life in it and the power to give life. Man’s word has some power but God’s Word has power unlimited. Therefore when you eat His Word you have the power of the Word in you. The Word of His power then goes out and does the work that it was sent to do. Therefore let His Words so fill you that you will have His now Word available when you need it. The devil is opposed to his Word. When you know His Word it will keep you from the attacks of the devil. The devil will always seek to destroy the power of His Word but His Word will destroy the devil. So cling to His Word of eternal life.

Fresh move of the Spirit

7/1/07 Fresh move of the Spirit.

This is the year of the Lord. In this year many more will come into His Kingdom then ever before. God will manifest Himself in varied ways to peoples of various tongues and colours. This is the year of the harvest of the nations. The Spirit will move freely across the earth. There will be signs in the heavens and signs on the earth. The Lord is coming soon and these events will be the herald of His coming. There will be a fresh move of the Spirit amongst the youth. They will come forth as a force to challenge the secular trends on the earth. The hearts of the fathers will be turned to the Lord because of the faith of their children. The lame will walk and the blind will see. Many will rise from the dead. Yet many will see and not believe. God will move into impossible situations and make creative miracles. God in His mercy will sweep across the land. Australia will see for the first time a revival of souls that will cause the waters to break forth and water the parched and sunburnt land. Many areas will be under water. All this will happen this year and near to the month of September. Thus saith the Lord.

BELIEFS DETERMINE YOUR DESTINY

31/12/06 Beliefs determine your destiny

The Lord is good and His mercies are great. He is merciful to those who are merciful. He is gracious and His love is everlasting. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. His Name is Wonderful, Counsellor the Prince of Peace. In Him all things are contained. He is God and there is no one like Him. Many are the pursuits and opinions of man but the Lord is faithful and He never changes. There are spirits that confuse and distort the truth. Beware of the persuasions of man that lead men astray. Bind yourself to the One who is eternal and who is able to give you eternal life. Yes evil has to be resisted otherwise it will take over the good. There is no way of overcoming evil then by resisting it both within and without. The grace of God will enable you to do this. Compromise is of the world and not of the Kingdom of God. God’s call is clear that He wants a people who are separate, a people in the world but not of the world. Your beliefs will determine your destiny. Many are crippled by their beliefs. Only Jesus can set them free from beliefs that imprison rather then liberate.

Healing of the emotional child

24/12/06 Healing of the emotional child.

Healing of the inner child is what will bring release in the emotional area of your life. Your emotions are stunted at the time when you were traumatised as a child and no growth was possible. This arrest is then covered up by layers of defence so that the growth of the emotional child is not possible. The adult then covers up through building walls in terms of intellectual or financial securities. This gives a false impression of coping till the emotional child is threatened through a crisis. Men can build walls of protection through their gifts and talents but this can never heal that child. This is why close confiding relationships are important. Through these relationships the emotional child can trust again and be healed. The distortions in the present of past hurtful relationships is very real. The past can only interfere with the present if those hurts are not released to healing. Therefore the way forward is to release those areas for healing. This is only possible by confronting them. Hiding from them is to keep secrets that will continue to rob you of a vibrant present. When there is no more fear then you know that you have faced the enemies of the past and now can live in a fear free present. Death itself the final enemy has no more power over you.

Spirit of control behind every addiction

17/12/06 Spirit of control behind every addiction
Castration of sexual urges by the Spirit is the way to kill those negative urges that reduce sexuality to a physical act. I have asked the Lord to do this by faith. My sexual urges are now limited only for my wife. I now will see how this is out worked in the flesh. Many are oppressed by the spirit of this age which is harlotry. Harlotry is the god of sexual permissiveness. This has infiltrated the church and is demonising every aspect of church life. This spirit needs to be cast out of the church. The way to do this is to castrate the spirit so that it has no power over the body. Demons use sexual images to arouse the lower senses and then penetrate the individual through their addiction. All addictions are an arousal of desires that are aroused to control the individual. A gambling addiction is the desire to amass forbidden wealth. A dieting addiction is a desire to be accepted. A sexual addiction is a desire to control. Under every addiction is a desire to control. What happens is that the addict is controlled by the addiction. The spirit of control needs to be bound and cast out for deliverance to occur. Come Lord Jesus and deliver me from the spirit of control and bring me into your rest.

FORGIVEN AND FORGOTTEN

2/12/06 Forgiven and forgotten
God’s cleansing enables you to forgive and forget. This is the only way to live. The past is very powerful to keep you stuck to what happened. Forgiveness enables you to let go of the past and live in the present now. The past is like a chain that keeps you bound to that which is past and does not allow you to enjoy the present. Sins of the past have the same ability to torment you in the present. Many are burdened by guilt and condemnation because of past sins. In Jesus you have deliverance from the stronghold of the past and a freedom to live in the present. Your energies spent in defence of past sins saps you of enjoyment. Depression is a cumulation of guilt for past sins that strangles the person to be tormented in the present. The way out is through repentance and a turning away from your tormentors. In Jesus sacrifice all your sins were cancelled and now you can live free from the chains of your past. Every reminder of the past must serve to make you lean more on His salvation then to be bound by the past. This is the way to live each day in newness and you will find that your perceptions will change for situations and people. You will not judge as you used to but anew. This is what Jesus meant when He said that in His Kingdom you will walk a new walk and talk a new talk. This is only possible as you walk in the freedom of release from the past and a renewed impartation of the Spirit in the present. The present is all you can live for as you live each moment in Him. Abiding in Him you will respond in new ways to old situations and in this way change your future. Hallelujah.

Discern the spirit behind the problem

26/11/06 Discern the spirit behind the problem
Many are the voices that you hear each day but you must discern between My voice and human voices. My voice will always bring peace even in correction. My voice never condemns but leads in love. Discern the spirit behind the voice. Pray for a spirit of discernment at all times. To discern is to get at the root of the problem. Discernment is a great gift to enable you to discern the spirit behind the words. Words can be deceptive in that the words maybe right but the spirit behind the words evil. Words can be a camouflage for many things. Discernment enables you to go beyond the words and identify the spirit. In this way you can save a lot of time by going directly to the spirit of the problem then beat around the bush. Many problems serve to distract from the spirit behind the problem. Stealing maybe a problem but the spirit causing the problem maybe a spirit of greed. When the spirit of greed is confronted then the stealing will stop. So also a weight problem maybe hiding a spirit of self loathing. Discern the spirit behind the problem. There are psychological explanations for problems but you need to move beyond the psychological to the spiritual. The bases of a lot of problems are spiritual in that an evil spirit is behind it and controls the individual. It could be a familial spirit. Genes and other physical conditions mask the real spirit behind these ailments. Once the spirit is discerned and expelled out, the problem ceases to be a problem. Therefore begin to discern the spirit and pray for wisdom to know how to deal with that spirit causing the problem. You can do it in the spirit and see how situations that appear impossible become possible.

Rules versus a new heart

13/11/06 Rules versus a new heart
Jesus always majored on heart issues. Man always majors on rules. Man is guided by external rules and regulations while Jesus came to give us a new heart and put a new spirit within it. This is the transformation that takes place. Yet despite this Christians continue to live by the law and not by grace. They continue the Pharisaic tradition despite having had the renewed experience of the Spirit. Why is this so? The heart that is not surrendered will always regress to rules. Rules are external and can be seen while the heart is internal and cannot be seen. This is why Jesus took the heart approach. Rules are there to keep evil at bay. Without rules the heart which is so deceitful will go haywire. However a heart that is pure and rests in the finished work of Christ will fulfil every law of God. God knows that the human heart is sinful and only desires to do evil. This is why he brought in a new way. Man can tame the heart by rule bound conformity but this will not suffice on the day of reckoning. Just as heart worship is what pleases the Lord so also it is heart obedience that is true worship. It is from the heart the issues of life are determined. Therefore whenever you are in disarray examine your heart and see if there is any wicked way. The heart can only be cleansed through the blood of Jesus. Many miss this and therefore live by the law and fail. Condemnation then keeps them a prisoner of guilt and a slave to sin. Jesus came to set man free from this cycle of guilt and condemnation through His eternal sacrifice. Man has access to this freedom through faith. Thank you Lord for this new way of redemption in you.

Live rightly

7/11/06 LIVE RIGHTLY
GOD IS AT WORK IN YOU TO ENABLE YOU TO ACHIEVE THE BEST IN YOUR LIFE. GOD BELIEVES IN YOU. YOU ARE HIS CREATION AND THERE IS NOTHING LEFT FOR YOU TO DO THEN TO TRUST HIM. SURRENDER ALL THAT HAS HAPPENED TO HIM AND SEE HOW HE WILL USE IT FOR HIS GLORY AND TO ACHIEVE HIS PURPOSES. REMEMBER THOSE WHO PLAN EVIL AGAINST YOU ARE THE LOSERS. YOU NEVER LOSE BY PLANNING GOOD. YOU ALWAYS LOSE WHEN YOU PLAN EVIL BECAUSE GOD IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE. GOD IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS AND WILL ALWAYS SIDE THOSE WHO PLAN GOOD. THIS IS A LAW THAT THOSE WHO SOW GOOD WILL REAP GOOD. GOD IS ON THE SIDE OF THE EVIL MAN WHO PLANS GOOD. THEREFORE BE SURE TO PLAN GOOD FOR THEN YOU WILL SUCCEED. THOSE WHO PLAN EVIL WILL LIVE IN FEAR BECAUSE THE EVIL THEY HAVE PLANNED WILL HAUNT THEM TILL THEY DIE OF GUILT. THIS IS WHY MORALITY DEVOID OF GOD WILL PERISH FOR THERE IS NOTHING TO SUSTAIN IT. GOD AND MORAILTY IS A VERY STRONG TOWER AND THOSE WHO LIVE IN IT WILL PROSPER AND BE SAFE.

Mechanism for change

21/10/06 Mechanism for change
Change is possible when you change the way you think. It only takes a thought to change the way you perceive a person or situation. This is why talk therapies are effective. It does not have to be anything too sophisticated. It is important to connect with the person and then help them change their thinking. This is why hypnotic procedures are effective because it gets the person into a state of receptivity to receive the thought that will transform them. So also when you read God’s Word, it is important to get yourself into a state of receptivity so that His Word can penetrate into the depths of your being to transform you. Repetition can work in the same way. Repetition is a hypnotic procedure to induce change at a deeper level. Memory systems work through repetition. What you repeat to yourself will have a deep effect on you. This is why traumatic situations have such power to effect a person because strong emotion is associated with the event. So also where strong emotion is involved the impact factor is greater. This is why praise also prepares you to receive at a deeper level. The mechanism of change is to find ways to change dysfunctional thought patterns, like from poverty thinking to abundance thinking. This is why Paul talks about persuading people to accept the Good News of Jesus Christ. Belief comes through persuasion and faith. You cannot force anyone to believe. Persuasion involves the will of the other person. Once the other person wills to believe then his belief will work for him. Therefore work to persuade others in the ways of the Lord through faith and love.

Be friendly

12/9/06 Be friendly
Most people will respond positively yet we fear their response. It is this fear that keeps you from connecting with others. Just think how you would respond if approached by a friendly person. You would respond positively. There are so many lonely people who want to be approached but fear of rejection keeps them imprisoned. They never take the first step because their fear is greater then their desire to be friendly. They desire to be loved and held but having experienced so much negativity they hesitate and therefore remain in their depressed state. The only way out of this is a paradigm shift where you assume that everyone is lonely and seeking friendly contact but are afraid. Be the first to make the approach and relearn from experience that this message is true that the majority desire contact but are afraid to do so. Once you know this truth you will not hesitate but be pro-active in making the first move. It is true that most people are lonely because the enemy has made them believe the lie that they are not worthy. Make someone feel loved today and help change their trajectory in life.

Abundant life in God

2/9/06 Abundant life in God
The power to change is within you. God is within you and He is the One who will enable you to change. Every person is on a path at different stages. They share out of their experience and stage. You share out of yours. Everyone is right for they are sharing out of their experience. Acknowledge them and do not judge them. You have a course to travel. Travel in it knowing that He is with you all the way. True wisdom is knowing that God is with each person whether they realise this or not. The God gene is in each person because each is created in His image. However each one chooses to go his own way and only when they come to a place of realisation will they acknowledge their Creator. This is a journey and there are many temptations in the way but those who seek God will be directed to the true path of happiness. This is the path of salvation from self and salvation to God. Self has to die to be liberated from its desires that are contrary to the Spirit. Jesus died a death that He may be Saviour for all. Now it is up to each to receive His life by dying to self. There must be a death to self to experience the life of God. Self seeks to control and be god and in this there is no place for God. God who created you knows what you need and the process of death to self yields abundance that you can never achieve by yourself. So come into Canaan the land of promise by faith in Him and His promises and live today an abundant life.

Life is for living

20/8/06 Life is for living
There are times and seasons when positions and decisions have to be taken to bring about change. The change that is required will not take place easily as there will resistance to change. Most people are happy to stay where they are and not go through with the trouble to change. This is the most soul destroying part of life. To not change and be happy to be stagnant and rot and die. This is the cause of death. A person who is alive is always changing for the better and looking for opportunities to learn and be changed. This is called progress. You never progress by staying still. As long as you are moving means there is hope for change. It is not the end but the journey that matters. Your end is assured so there is no need to fear the future. What you need to do is to enjoy every moment in Him. As long as you breathe you have the capacity to enjoy His life in you. It is not your life but His life in you that makes the difference. With Him in you then you can face any mountain and any predicament knowing He is with you all the time. This is why faith is such a powerful dynamic that causes you to enjoy life to the fullest. Without faith life is a toil for you are going through the motions of living but not really living. Many are already dead in that they have stopped living and are just existing. Only faith can enable them to break out of their tomb and live. Life is for living but many rather choose death then life. What a paradox this is and this is the human dilemma. The things of this world have blinded them from a faith in the living God. They worship the things rather then the Creator.

God's heavenly exchange

19/8/06 God’s heavenly exchange.
The Lord is near you and in you and before you. He is always here with you all the time and for eternity. This is the privilege and inheritance of His children. You must believe this to inherit the promises of His written Word. Many know the promises but fail to believe and therefore do not inherit the substance of the promises. Believe is a verb and therefore demands action. It is not a noun that stands for something else. It is faith in action. This means you must actively pursue the promise till you see evidence of it in your life. The promise that He will never leave you nor forsake you must be actively worked out in situations in life where you feel rejected and lost and know His presence in the midst. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus. He walked on earth and now is sent to abide in you so that you can experience the same love that Jesus has and respond in His love. This is the heavenly exchange that takes place when you exchange your rejection for His love. God knew and He provided the answer, his healing for your disease. What an exchange but the world still rather believe in dead works then in the gospel of salvation. Come now and believe and receive out of His abundance.

Childhood responses to present relationships

12/8/06 Childhood responses to present relationships.
The need to relate on a level with different ages is important to be aware of. If one relates as a parent then you will receive child like responses from the other. If one wants to elicit adult like responses then one needs to relate with the other as an adult and not as a parent or as a child. This dynamic can be seen in every area of life, work, home or in social situations. The perceptions are then related to positions one takes with respect to the other. These are emotional positions that one had as a child. Therefore if one had problems with parent figures then when approaching authority figures in the present will induce fear, guilt, hate or ambivalence. Likewise if one relates with another like a parent then this will induce authoritarian responses to the other which will evoke child like responses from the other. The emotions aroused will paralyse one’s thinking or at least will influence the perceptions of the other. To be aware of these distorted perceptions and feelings is the basis for therapy. This is to work through those ill feelings with a responsible adult and not be stunted by them. Many are not aware of this dynamic that occurs so automatically and overcomes a person in situations. It is best then to take a break, calm oneself and regain one’s position and go back and relate in a more equitable manner. Power relationships have this dynamic of distorting present relationships due to past unresolved and hurt feelings. In Christ one can be Christ in whatever situation and not give into those hurtful feelings of childhood. This is the way to heal the hurt child and be in control of those feelings. Addictions are a symptom of those unhealed feelings that drive one to resort to behaviours that destroy rather then build. The root of those addictions are in hurt feelings of childhood. Once evoked they remain in control at a subconscious level till they are released and the person healed from their torment.

God's Word reveals His mind

22/7/06 God’s Word reveals His mind
The Spirit of the Lord reveals the mind of God. God reveals His mind through His Word and through signs and wonders. His Word is His mind. The events that are reported illustrate how God’s mind works. To know His mind is to know His will. Doing His will is doing His works. God works through our minds. When are minds are in tune with His mind then miracles occur. Therefore fill your mind with God’s Word so that you will think His thoughts towards you. If you fail to fill your mind with His words then the words of the devil and the world will fill it. This is why it is so important that you select what you read and see. These are the gates that allow material to have access to your mind. Your imagination then works on what you feed on to deliver the images to your heart. It is from the heart then that your destiny is determined. Your destiny in God can be hijacked by the devil if you feed your mind on filth. The filth through TV is a tool the devil uses to rob you of your destiny in God. In this age many are trapped and robbed of their destiny in God to a destiny in hell. Therefore read His Word diligently day and night so that you are not led astray from achieving your destiny in God.
