TRUE IDENTITY

In the Spirit you are able to see and judge as God sees and judges. What a change in perception. Most people perceive and judge through their own tarnished lens. This is the lens of their own past programming. We have all been programmed by our past experiences which are clouded by myths, assumptions and stories we have heard. These are what make who we are at present but not wholly who we are. Behind the stories is a person who is a spirit being. This spirit being is who you really are. To find this person is your mission in life. Once you found him/her you will be at peace. This is the state of spiritual enlightenment. Many seek in forms their true identity. This is an illusion. This is only a temporary identity which is attached to forms of thought and history. Your true identity is in the spirit who is formless. In Christ you will find your true identity for He is Spirit. His Spirit merges with your spirit and you are one in Him. All human beings find true unity in spirit and not in any form. Our egos will continue to define us in the way we think and do things but this only serves to preserve our ego. Jesus said if you lose yourself for my sake you will find yourself. Dying to self is to die to your ego with its attachments to things and people. Detachment from things and attachment to Christ is the only freedom that is eternal.

THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

Praise the Lord who gives me the strength to face each new day. This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. How good is the Lord who gives and gives without reservation. He gave His only begotten Son and fed the world with manna from heaven. Now those who feed on Him can live forever. What you feed on will last forever or die. The food that God gives never ends and its value is eternal. What you learn and use is good for this material world. This world of form has its own knowledge base but heavenly wisdom can only be discerned through the Spirit. Many have knowledge of the spirit world but don’t know the Holy Spirit. It is just like knowing about Jesus but not knowing Him personally. To know about something is to have head knowledge. To know is to experience this someone and know in your inner depths the peace and love that comes from the knowing. This is the difference that separates the sheep from the goats. God has made it plain in these end times and the knowledge of His Son will spread like wild fire across the globe and win many into His Kingdom. The Kingdom of His Son is a heavenly Kingdom and it is an eternal Kingdom. This is why Jesus said that His Kingdom is not of this world. It is a spiritual Kingdom filled with spiritually birthed sons and daughters born not of the flesh but of the spirit. His Spirit is moving mightily upon the earth and those who have ears to hear and eyes to see will be born anew into the Kingdom of heaven.

HOW TO SOLVE PROBLEMS

The Lord is good and each day He will sow new thoughts into you which will bowl you over. You know these are His thoughts because they have the power to bless and not to tear down. Uplifting thoughts are God sent. Downing thoughts are devil sent. There are always two sides to a coin and so for any issue there will always be two sides. Once you arrive at this realisation then nothing appears as clear as once thought. People want clarity but on most occasions the only clarity you will see, is a compromise. Therefore never fear the opposition for they are there to help you and not to oppose you. Without resistance there will be no growth. Growth comes through resisting the resistance. By resisting and not giving in, you are able to find new solutions to old problems. Problems are mainly due to perceptions. When you are able to do away with past programming then the issue becomes just another thing to be surmounted then an issue of personal attack to be resisted. Therefore when you are confronted with a problem do not let fear cloud your thinking but step back from the problem and see the solution emerge. Once you are sucked into the problem then the problem controls you. Separate the problem from you and the problem becomes a thing with no personal attachment to it. This is why many counsellors makes the problem go away or in other words a problem shared is a problem halved.

PRAY IN THE SPIRIT

Praying in the Spirit is the way to unblock the potential within you. As you pray in tongues rivers of living water are stirred up within you. These rivers then begin to fill you up and flow out of your mouth to feed a hungry and thirsty world. You will be amazed by the thoughts and feelings you experience. You will realise that you are experiencing something from deep within like a new experience. Your whole being will respond to this new revelation. Your source of knowledge begins to expand and there are no limits to the power released. Like an atomic bomb your words carry the power to bring the desired change. You become a vessel of His power channelling the words and thoughts from His throne. This is how the Word became flesh. He came as the immortal Word and walked amongst us and then rose to sit on the throne to rule and reign forever. His is an eternal Kingdom not built by the hands of man. His Kingdom rule will become the dominant power and the earth His footstool. No man will be able to stand against Him. Even though the forces on earth appear to work against His Kingdom rule, it will not be long before the earth is consumed by His power. His is the Kingdom, the power and the glory. I will submit to Him rather then any earthly power that is for now but not for eternity. The setbacks are all part of the overall plan for dominion.

NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

Thought interruptions are the way the devil insinuates and troubles you. He will sow thoughts into you that will keep you from your goal. He will discourage and dishearten you. He will trouble you with all kinds of negative thoughts. Since the fall all of creation is wired for negativity. These negative thoughts follow a pattern after a time and these then are set in your hard wiring. The Holy Spirit comes and inspires and encourages you. Therefore when you are assailed by negative thoughts know that they are not from the Holy Spirit. Why try and analyse these negative thoughts. Just say NO and reject them before they can take root. These negative thoughts always stir up negative feelings which give these thoughts the power to influence you. Trust in the Lord to cancel these thoughts. Live in the moment and focus on the moment and cancel these thoughts which are based on the past or future. Imagine yourself bathed in the blood of Jesus continuously, cleansing your mind and your whole being. His blood is the greatest cleansing agent and the devil hates it. In this way you can remain clean and holy for His presence to manifest through you. Slay those negative thoughts and pray His positive thoughts and come alive in Jesus.

TAP INTO GOD'S RESOURCES

Persistence leads to achievement of your goals. Never take your eyes off your goal. The Spirit of God will work through your vision to bring it to pass. Faith working through love will bring to pass what you desire. God works through you by faith. You can desire anything and it will be granted to you. A million souls is nothing in the hand of the Lord. God will seek for willing vessels to work through them to achieve His goals. This is the new breed God is raising on earth to achieve His purpose. He is searching for willing hearts that will be His channels for transmuting His power. His power is able to do anything. A Christian who is willing to be a channel will fulfil His purpose on earth as it is in heaven. This is the Lord’s end time purpose to fill the earth with His glory as the waters cover the sea. His glory is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will invade the earth through His people who will unite to see His Kingdom being established on earth. As His people catch His vision of a new earth then this will become a force that will turn the hearts of people to Him. The earth is exhausted by the careless use of its resources. God who created the earth is able to replenish it. He made the gold and the silver and He will able to replenish it. Therefore trust Him to supply every need both spiritual and material and you will operate in the supernatural.

HIS CAUSE

Helpful are those who walk in the ways of the Lord. When you are possessed by the Spirit of God then you will be a holy influence to all around you. His holy presence within you will affect everything around you even the plants and the animals. The whole of creation waits for the revealing of the sons of God. We are the salt and the light of the world. The world is in darkness and you must shine your light brightly that others may see and believe. There is only one cause for you to live for and that is the cause of Jesus Christ. He came, He lived and he died. He now lives again in the Spirit to work through you to redeem mankind. He came and sowed the seed on earth that will multiply till the whole earth is filled with His glory. Man sows all kinds of seeds but these are seeds unto death. The seeds that you sow are unto life for they are from the Spirit of life. Now is the time to arise and be bold and see the glory of God manifested on earth as His people shine brightly. You shine brightly when you give up all things for the one thing, His cause. Come now Holy Spirit and fill me for your cause is all I live for.

POWERHOUSE OF GOD

Miracles are coming your way as you connect to the miracle working God who lives in you. What you expect will come to pass through the channel of faith. Faith is the key to all things supernatural. God is Spirit and works in spiritual realms. The battle you have is in spiritual realms and not in earthly realms. Once you shift your focus from the earthly to the spiritual you become a channel of His power to save and to bless. God wants willing channels so that His power can flow freely. All you have to do is to let go and let God. God is moving by His Spirit to find willing vessels to flow through. So come to Him yielded and still and see how He will move mightily through you. As you wait and walk and be, He will become. He will become the person you desire to be through you. Jesus was the personification of God when He walked on earth. Now you can become the same as you yield to His voice. His voice you will hear as you connect with Him. You connect with Him when you are filled with His Spirit. His Spirit lives in you and works through you to bring about the change you desire. Your desires become His desires because they are His desires. He has planted these desires in your heart. Desires not of Him will fade away as He will burn up what is not of Him. Bless the Lord at all times and be glad.

IN HIS PRESENCE

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord and not in his own strength. The strength of the Lord will keep your mind and heart at rest. He is a mighty fortress in time of trouble and in His presence is peace and harmony. Never give into worry or fear for this is not of the Lord. Whenever worry or fear raises its head, know that He is your strength. Operating in the now enables you to tap into His thoughts for the moment rather then your thoughts. When you get caught up with your thoughts then you will easily regress into fear and worry. These feelings will then fire other thoughts that will undermine your resolve. Remember that your life is hid in Him. Therefore nothing can harm you because He is your protector. In Him you are safe and secure. All your resources come from Him. What you have is nothing compared to His great love and kindness. Therefore rejoice and be glad. Operate in the now and be free of all anxiety and pressure. This moment is all that matters. What is in the past or the future is in His hands. You will experience freedom from worry and stress as you operate in the now. Hallelujah what a Saviour and what a friend I have in Jesus who is present with me all the time.

HARMONY

Pleasure comes from seeking things that feels good to the soul. However beauty is something more then pleasure. Beauty is spiritual for it goes beyond the external and taps into the inner realms of being. You need spiritual eyes to see the inner beauty of things both living and dead. God sees the beauty in each of His creation created for a purpose. Even the locusts have a beauty in them that only God can see. Each is created for a purpose that maintains all things in balance. When you are balanced within then all things operate in harmony. It’s the imbalance that creates disharmony. A painful toe causes disharmony and affects the rest of the body. Maintain balance by addressing your inner self. When you are in harmony with your body, mind and spirit then your whole being will emit harmony. This will affect all around you. A disturbed soul emits radiation of a different kind and disturbs those around them. Light and darkness cannot co-exist because they are opposite. When light joins with light, the place gets brighter. So also when people of the light get together there is a concentration of light that will break through the darkness. Therefore let your light shine and penetrate the darkness and extinguish it.

SPIRIT OF FAITH

Prepare the way ahead for great things are coming your way. The boldness that comes with faith will enable you to face hurdles that you have never faced before. You will be able to stand high and firm in your resolve to fight for truth. The Lord will give you the boldness and the enemy will flee. The enemy works through people and people will know the truth when they hear it. All are spirit beings in search of the truth. When all they hear are lies then the truth will stand out like light in the midst of darkness. Truth will stand the test of time. Lies will fade away so never fear the opposition that stands on lies. The lie appears to be truth till it is challenged. When you are bold then the truth becomes like light that penetrates the darkness. Praise the Lord who imparts the spirit of faith to fight the spirit of darkness. Darkness comes in when the light fades. Therefore let your light shine brightly as you walk by faith.

THE BIG LIE

Pretty are the things we think and feel for but God is Lord of them all. He made them and cherishes them and He loves those who love His created works. When God is denied as the Creator then all living creatures become things. This is the lie the devil has sown into the hearts and minds of people. The big lie fosters independence and separation because we are all things and can be easily disposed off. This is the lie that underlies abortion and euthanasia. The church needs to fight for life and not give into the lie. The lie has so damaged creation that what is left is nihilism and destruction of all creation. Man has taken over the planet earth but in the pursuit of supremacy has destroyed it. He has used God’s creation to pursue his own ends rather then the God who created him. What a lie birthed in the Garden of Eden and now a disease spreading throughout the earth and affecting all creation. From the vegetation to humans this lie has led to death and destruction. Dog eat dog is the prevalent mood and nothing can stop man from self destruction. Only God’s mercy can reverse this trend and the annihilation of all creation. In the end only God remains for He is all there is. We are all His creation and we were given freedom to live life to the full. This means we have a choice and in this choice was the fall. Lord have mercy on us.

HOPE IN GOD

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord and not in his own strength. The fear of the Lord is rich in benefits. He is able to do far more then you can think or imagine. The desires of your heart will come to you as you trust in the Lord. The favour of the Lord is upon you because you fear Him. Fear is not to feel scared but respect and honour. Walk with this mind in you that those who fear the Lord will triumph, for He is a strong fortress in times of trouble. The peace of the Lord will keep your mind and heart at rest. Now what do you have to fear when the Lord is on your side. His love is so deep and so wide that nothing can dissolve it. This is the love that God has for you. His love is tangible when you receive His embrace openly. Open your hands and receive His love so real and so true. There is no adulteration in His love. He loves completely and His love can heal all wounds. Trust in the Lord and be healed of all wounds. You are in Him and as you abide in Him, so also He abides in you. The two become one just as a chrysalis transforms into a butterfly so you also will be transformed through His love. This is the only hope for the world and He lives in you. Christ in you the hope of glory.

HEART COMMUNICATION

Help is at hand for those who cry out for it. It is your heart that people will read and get touched by. At a spiritual level everyone connects at a heart level although they are unconscious of it. It is this connection that results in intimacy. When you operate with your heart then there is a connection that goes beyond your senses. Your spirit dwells in your heart. Your spirit will commune at the level with the spirit of the other. At this level of communication race and colour do not matter. The heart is pure. The soul maybe messed up but the heart is pure. It is the ability to see beyond the form that results in heart communication. When heart communication is missing then the soul takes over. Soulish communication is filled with lust and fear. The love here is not true love as it is geared to meet selfish needs. When the heart is dead then the soul will operate on what is best for me. This always ends up in conflict of needs and manipulation. Operate from the heart and this will endear you to many.

SHINE YOUR LIGHT

Come Holy Spirit and be a beacon of light through me to this dark and confused world. There is so much darkness in the world and the news just reports about this darkness. There is little light and yet the people of God are numerous in the world. When the light of the world came into the world it lightened up the darkness. However people in the darkness did not see because they were blind. How can the blind see? The veil that covers their eyes was lifted at Calvary. The darkness that hovered over the earth was lifted at Calvary. Yet darkness prevails on the earth. This is because the devil is still roaming the earth to see who he can devour. All the violence and greed and destruction you see around you is his works. The works of darkness can only prevail in darkness. When the light comes the darkness will vanish. You are the light of the world. In your presence the darkness cannot prevail. Therefore let your light shine and push back the darkness. Imagine how much the world needs you and all who carry His light. It is only the light of His presence can dispel the darkness. So shine today as His light and lighten the earth where you are.

PRAISE THE LORD ALWAYS

Praise the Lord who puts a song in your heart and music to your ears. He gives spring to your feet and new energy flows freely through you. He is always with you and His life flows through you. He is the Keeper of your soul. There is nothing you can do to earn His love. He is unconditional love and in Him you will glory all the days of your life. How good it is to praise the Lord and to seek Him. He is always listening to your thoughts and desires. He will come through for you as you align your thoughts with His. He is the lover of your soul. I will praise the Lord, will be my song. I will praise Him in the morning and in the evening and all day long. He is worthy of all praise and worship. In Him dwells all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge and I am blessed in Him. Jevohah Jireh and He is my Provider.

THE POWER OF THE CROSS

The ego is the collection of thoughts, feelings and experiences of a life time. The ego does not exist in isolation. It is part of your being. You cannot separate your ego from your being. When you do so then you treat your ego as an entity that can be displaced. This is the flaw in Eckart Tolle’s thinking. However Jesus said that we should deny our self and take up our cross. . This means that we need to deny our fallen desires and wishes that go against the counsel of God. To deny one self is to deny the self-will, that desires to push its agenda and not follow God. How can you serve God and Mammon? Either you serve God or Mammon. Mammon is that self that seeks to serve itself or the devil. Self seeks to serve itself or the devil. Therefore it needs to be denied its wishes so that God’s will can be done. Jesus had to deny Himself and go through the pain of the Cross. It was not His will but His Father’s will and he prayed, ‘Thy will be done’. How do you deny yourself? This is only possible through the power of the Cross. Apply the Cross to your self and you will find that your desires lose their power over you. If it is lust then that power is cancelled. If it is pride then that power is cancelled. The Cross is the only power that can cancel the power of the flesh and the devil. This is why Jesus had to die and it is in His death and resurrection that the power of the Cross is realised. Now by faith I can tap into this power and be free.

ALL CREATED IN HIS IMAGE

Hallelujah the Lord reigns. He is above all and in all. He is the Sovereign Lord. In Him are all things. All are created in His image so why do you separate one from another? These divisions are man made divisions. When you see a person as a created being then you will stop separating them. They have their own beliefs and preferences. These should not be seen as a reason for separation but for variety. When variety is perceived as difference then this causes separation. All need love and all need recognition. These are common human needs. Why separate when all have been created by one God. Difference that separates is not Godly. Man needs to separate because this is the only way he can survive. This is a survival instinct. However when one realises that this separation is artificial and that difference is an illusion, then unity will prevail. This is the curse, separation. Sin brought about the separation and since then all separation is a way of man. Man in the hope of salvation separates from each other, hoping to be purer then them and therefore wins the race. God did not send His Son to separate us but to tear down the wall of separation and to unite the slave and the free, the Jew and the Gentile, the Muslim and the Hindu, the Christian and all others. What an illusion, what a lie, what a deception! Lord come and open the eyes of man and help us see each other as you see us, created in your image.

SALVATION ONLY IN JESUS

The Lord is God and there is no one like Him. He is the Creator of all things. People who are spiritually blind cannot see and therefore will go round in circles and die. They need to hear the Good News that will save them and cure their blindness. Just as some are emotionally blind, so also, spiritual blindness is a disease. Many seek for salvation in the wrong places. Never judge another who is blind. Have compassion for the lost so that they can find their way to wholeness. So much sickness and disease is due to spiritual blindness. You were created for God. Without God you will never be fulfilled. You know how good it is to share about His great works. His greatest work was to send His Son Jesus in the form of man. God has done everything to pave the way for man. Now it is up to man to choose His way. His way is the only way for man to be saved. There is no other way. This is why it is a matter of urgency to spread the Good News, so many will be saved from the clutches of hell fire. You are responsible for those you know and none can be spared. Help me Lord to spread the news to all and sundry.

THINKING MIND

The mind is like a weapon that never sleeps. It is on guard all the time for internal and external threats. It never sleeps as sleeping is like allowing the enemy to infiltrate. The mind will find problems to solve and sometimes creates problems when there are none. Its constant activity keeps it awake. This is why it is so difficult not to think and be present. The mind does not like to be ignored. It is part of your ego. Not to think is like annihilation. This is to be nothing. Take away this faculty and you loose your identity. Your identity is very closely related to your thinking mind. What you think is closely related to your beliefs and motivations. Your predominant mode of thinking determines the outcomes of your life. Problem solving is good but life is not just about solving problems. Life is also about being and feeling and experiencing. Too much thinking leads to a world of facts and information and not much of feeling and experiencing. You could lose out on experiencing by thinking too much. Some are wired this way and find no enjoyment in experiencing life other then through thinking. Others on the other hand like to feel and experience and do not think much. They operate by feeling and are tuned to others at a feeling level. They love people and like to mix with people. They love to touch and feel. Their world is filled with images, art and creativity. Thinking is not bad but it is at the expense of other experiences. A balance in these areas is what gives life its colour and excitement.

LIVING IN THE PRESENT IN HIS PRESENCE

God is present all the time even when you are unconscious of His presence. When you walk in the consciousness of His presence then you become one with Him. All the forms of life take new meaning because you are aware of His presence. When you are lost in thought then you become unconscious. The key to living in His presence is to walk in the light as He is in the light. What does this mean but to be conscious of His presence. It is this consciousness that needs to increase in the world. Many are caught up in the newest thought or invention. This is to be taken up with the form of things then the presence. To die to self is to be conscious of His presence. This is abundant life. All you problems are in your mind. You perceive the world through you narrow mind and judge it. When you are dead to yourself then you are aware of others and their divinity. You become aware of nature and you live in the present in His presence. This is to live life in eternity because you are now free from the concept of psychological time. You have entered into the realm of spiritual time where there is no beginning and no end. You live in God’s time and there are no limits in His time frame. What liberty there is in knowing that you are a beloved child of His creation. He created you and knew you even before you were born. This is what liberates and empowers and not you own puny little thinking of what is.

ACCEPTANCE

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord. Commit all your ways to the Lord and He will guide you. You are what you are and God made you this way. You have been wired in this way for a purpose. The purpose only God knows. You may stand apart from the crowd but you must be sincere in the way you are. Many reject the way they are because of non acceptance. This is a sure way of killing yourself. You kill yourself by non acceptance. God accepts you the way you are. Do not try and please others, for in this way you fail to accept yourself. Loving others is to accept them as they are. They have their own history and experience that has moulded the way they are. It is not for you to judge them but to love them. When you impose your ways on others then you are manipulating or forcing them to accept your way as the best way. You have the right to provide information but it is up to them to choose. God is the judge. Therefore stand up to what you believe. When people confuse information with direction then it becomes a battle. Information like good news is just that. Now a person can choose what he does with that information. Everyone has to make their own choice and no one should be forced to make a choice. If a person chooses to suffer then it is their right to do so. However if they are vulnerable and need protection then the law provides safeguards for such situations. You are free when you can accept yourself as you are and not when you become perfect. There is no such thing as perfection in this fallen world.

LIFE IS IN THE NOW

Happy is the man who is blessed by the Lord. He will live like a saint and enjoy the fruits of his labour. The Lord will shield him and keep him in His green pastures. He will be like a watered garden, evergreen and full of strength. He will be like a tree that bears good fruit all year round. He will be like a well watered garden that never seems to lack anything. This is the blessing of the Lord. How good it is to be called His child. He will always come to the banquet table and feast with you on His riches. He is the ever present Saviour of your soul. In Him you have all you need to live life to the full. He is in the present and life is in the present. There is no tomorrow to fear for everything there is, is in the present. This is what the enemy of your soul wants to rob you off, by keeping you in the past or the future. What a evil, deceitful and conniving enemy to your soul he is? Whenever he takes you to your past or fills you with fear about your future, remind him that all you have is the present! In this way you cast him out and he loses control over you. The only way he can control you is through guilt for your past and fear of your future. The Lord is Lord over all and He is in your present, to give you the victory you need over the enemy of your soul. Hallelujah.

REST IN HIM

Precious is the Lord and mighty is His Name from whom all blessings flow. He is in me and with me and I love Him so. He is the first and the last and in Him is joy everlasting. I love the Lord and He is my everything. Morning, noon and night I worship Him. I am nothing without Him. He is in the DNA of my being. Every cell within me praises Him. Therefore every cell in me is blessed. All my organs are functioning well because He nourishes them day and night. I am alive in Him and His Spirit lives in me. What more can I ask. His Spirit within my spirit and I am one in Him. I am drawn to the things of God. I live and breathe His Name which is above all other Names. Jesus is the Name above all other names and in Him I am blessed. His Name bears all things and all things are in Him. How blessed it is to know the Lord and be in Him. This is the most secure place to be in and there is no danger in Him, only love and peace. He is the peace centre of my life. Even though everything around me is breaking down I am at rest because He is my rest.

IN HIM

My God is able to do much more then I can imagine or think. How good is that? When I am connected to Him and He is connected to me then anything is possible. All the darkness around me cannot stop the light of His presence. He is in me and with me and this is what matters. Now I can walk with my head high and believe that He is able. I only need to look at the past to see His faithfulness. This gives me confidence for the future. Now all I need is to live in the present, in the light He has given me. There are many that know more then me but I don’t I have to feel threatened by them. I need to be and do the best in the position I am in. God who created me knew what he created. He created me with the gifts and talents and a work that only I can do. Now He has sent me into the world to be His hands and feet. I am totally His because there is no better place to be, then in Him. Today I will excel in Him, for I live only for His glory. How good it is to live in the power of His Name. His Spirit gives me the power to operate His gifts and fruits. I am in Him and in Him I am in control of all my faculties. Without Him I am a mess and therefore I rather be in Him. In Him I am free to be who I am in Him. Hallelujah what a life and what a destiny I have in Him.

STAND

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord. The Lord is good and he who trusts in the Lord will find good things. Life is just a moment in God’s time line. He is and therefore you are. He is the One who gives you life. In Him you are present and all the chaos around you is nothing in Him. You can rest in Him in the midst of the chaos. The winds and storms may rage but you can be still in Him. Jesus in the boat, while the storm rages, is a picture of what it means to be in Him. These storms will pass and you will be left standing. This is the mark of a Godly man who remains standing whilst all else fades away around Him. So also in your walk, you will remain standing and your enemies will fade away. They come like roaring lions but the lion of Judah in you will roar them away. Truth spoken in love will last the test of time. Finally He has the last word. Therefore remain fixed in Him and you will stand tall on the day of reckoning. Knowledge of the end will keep you steady while you go through the storms.

BEHAVIOUR VS ATTITUDE

I like you is a powerful statement to anyone. I like you is more specific then saying I love you. I like you means I like what you like and vice versa. Like is to do with behaviour, love is to do with attitude. When I say I like you, I mean I like the way you behave. Your behaviour is to do with your personality. If you are a clean and tidy person then I like that. If you are laid back and easy going then I like that too. Likes and dislikes are to do with one’s behaviours. They say nothing much about the person. A person is known more by his reactions. This says more about the person’s inner workings then just behaviour. Jesus revealed His inner workings when He gave the beatitudes. These are to do with attitudes. When you can love your enemies and pray for those who curse you, then you know that you are operating like Jesus. I may dislike a behaviour but still love the person. I may dislike the behaviour because it puts someone down in front of others. Behaviours can be modified. Attitudes have to be learnt. I learn to love, give and respect by cultivating this attitude. A bad attitude like prejudice cannot be changed but can be replaced by a new attitude of understanding. This change of attitude will change your behaviour. Change of behaviour on the other hand may not change your attitude. I may not react in anger but still harbour hatred. One is cosmetic change, the other is inner change. Jesus came to change our heart from one of hatred to self and others to love for God and others.

RISK TAKING= FAITH

The flesh will give you all the excuses not to take risks. The flesh is always careful not to progress, but to be careful, for it is more interested in protecting itself. One must be prepared to take risks if you want to advance the Kingdom. Those who are more interested in their own welfare will never go far. When you live in the moment then all those fears that bombard and restrict you will melt away. When you believe in God more then the fears, then all those fears which are in your imagination will melt away. The only counter measure to fear is faith. Faith has paralyzed you from action. Most people are restricted by fear. Faith is spelt risk. You prove your faith by taking risks. When God brings an opportunity to you it means that He is going to anoint you to achieve it. You will be faced with opposition but you must exercise violent faith to stand. This is the only way to move forward. Violently pray, violently love, violently move out in faith.

OVERCOMING THE FLESH

Help me Lord to overcome the flesh and to move in the Spirit. The flesh is weak but the spirit is strong. The same battles that the saints before faced, you too will face in the flesh. The flesh is dead but still torments you with its desires and urges. They are just an illusion. The devil will make you think the flesh is still alive but you know that you are dead in Christ by faith. As long as you operate in faith then the flesh cannot have dominion over you. The ego is strong but melts when you enter His presence. This is the only way to walk the talk. The Spirit in you will help you for He is alive and lives in the present. The ego is not interested in the present but only in the past and in the future. This is why it is an illusion. The illusion seems real because you identify with it. You fight the ghosts of the past and the future because they are all an illusion. When you recognise this then you become conscious of this and in that instant your ego melts and gives way to your spirit. Hallelujah, glory.

FRIENDS

Friends are the source of stress and happiness. Friends are a company of people that one shares joy and sadness. This is why you need friends. It is not just the happy times but also the sad times you need friends. Sharing is the heart of the gospel. Jesus spent time with his disciples and they grew up with Him. He was their source of knowledge about God and His ways. Then when the Holy Spirit came He was their source of life. Knowing about God is not the same as knowing God. Knowing about your friend is not the same as knowing him. So knowledge is good but only when it is applied that it is of any use. Having knowledge alone does not solve anything. Having medicine and not taking it is useless. The medicine needs to be taken to benefit from it. Friends need to be together and learn from each other. Therefore friendship with God is the means of knowing Him.

SIGNS AND WONDERS

Prepare the way of the Lord and be bold. You have entered into the realm of the supernatural and today you will see signs and wonders manifest in your midst. God has heard the cry of your heart and is pleased with you. He will answer your cry and enter your realm and manifest Himself. Signs and wonders are for the heathen to see and believe. The faithful will believe even if they do not see. Faith is a heart matter and the head cannot have faith. The head only thinks and analyses what is seen. This is why you cannot enter the Kingdom with only knowledge. Knowledge alone does not save you. You need faith and knowledge to be saved. You hear the word and this stimulates faith and then you enter in through the door by faith. Look out and see as your faith taps into the invisible world and sees the supernatural. The supernatural becomes natural and this is how miracles occur. The dead come alive and the sinner becomes a saint. Hard hearts melt and the devil is defeated.

NO HEAVEN WITHOUT THE CROSS

Keep yourself pure and clean and holy. The Lord cannot stand sin of any form or colour. Sin is sin and it is only when you hate sin for what it is that real change will take place. You have hurt others and this is sin. There is no excuse for hurting others. Each soul is precious to the Lord and he/she must always be seen in the light of the Cross and eternity. The Cross is the only hope for the sinner and salvation is only through the Cross. Where there is no Cross there is no heaven. Heaven is a reality only because of the Cross. The Cross divides heaven from hell. Knowledge of heaven and hell comes from the Cross. It is because of hell that the Cross became necessary. Now man makes his own cross but the Cross of Christ is sufficient for all. Come to the Cross of Jesus and be saved, healed and restored for eternity.

SACRIFICE

Blessed is the Lamb that came into the world to be slaughtered. What a sacrifice, what a surrender to love. Only love can surrender to such a destiny. He knew before He came that this would be His destiny, yet He willingly submitted to His Father’s will. He said not my will but thine be done. In this He surrendered to Him who knew the end from the beginning. He willingly embraced suffering knowing that it was His mission on earth to accomplish. Only the spotless sinless Lamb of God could do this. You also have been called to suffer for the sake of the gospel that many may enter through the narrow gate to eternal freedom. This kind of love is of the Father in heaven. He wants us to be filled with His love so that other kinds of love cannot take His place. His love is unconditional pure and holy. His love heals all disorder and disease and brings wholeness. How does this fit in with the western presentation of the gospel which seeks to satisfy the flesh rather then the spirit? No wonder you see the excesses and the falling away when those props are removed. A gospel without the suffering Christ will not last. The Cross is central and all the benefits that flow from it are secondary. Focus on the Cross and be delivered for the world and its temptations. The apostle Paul said it well when he said I glory only in the Cross. This is to die daily to the flesh so that His Spirit can fill to the maximum my being.

HOPE

Restless is the man who has no hope and despair will engulf him in no time. Hope is what will steady the hand of any man who is faced with situations beyond his control. Faith in a God who controls the Universe and everything in it is the key to hope. Hopelessness is a powerful motivator to give up and give in. This is the state of no return and once that captures a person the end is usually nigh. Many live in a hopeless state of mind because they do not have an anchor for their soul. Their soul wanders seeking for water to quench their thirst but all they find is a desert. Jesus said He will give water that will never fail. His water is an eternal spring that is not dependent on circumstances or situations. Once your soul is anchored to a source that is eternal then this is what will keep your mind at rest. Peace that passes all understanding will engulf you and you will be a spring of living water to quench the thirst of others.

TROUBLES TIMES AHEAD

Precious are the moments with the Lord. He comes like a wind and blows His kisses over you. You feel His presence and you feel loved. This is how His Spirit ministers to your soul and spirit. He is a lover of your soul. He is the great I am. He loves to bestow His blessings upon you. He moves gently over you. He is a fire to those who fear Him. He is a God of justice and He will bring the wicked to justice. At His judgement seat no one will be able to pass His righteousness. All have sinned and fall short of His glory. Yes the Lord is a lover but also just. Oh how I worship the Lord for He is my security at all times. In Him I am on a firm foundation. Without a firm foundation the house will not be able to stand. The Lord is your foundation and in Him no storm will be able to rock you. He is the Rock on whom the church is built and on this rock the church will survive the storm. The storm of affliction is increasing around the world. Only those whose life is on the rock will be able to stand the coming persecution. Religion will be seen as evil and governments will try to close all religious facilities. Like the communists, God will be seen as a figment of man’s imagination. Woe to those who live like them with no God and no hope.

PEACE

Many are the ways of man to bring peace but it is only when peace enters the heart that real peace will be possible. Real peace is when the Spirit of the Lord comes and resides in a man’s heart. Jesus promised peace when He said ‘Peace I bring to you, not as the world gives. My peace is eternal and will be with you because I am in you’. Any kind of peace based on human agreement will not last for people keep changing their minds. Real peace is only possible when men’s hearts are at peace. What is reflected in the world is a reflection of man’s state of heart. Where there is turmoil in the heart there will be unrest. Philosophies and beliefs are content issues and therefore divide rather then unite people. Political parties fight over content and therefore can never agree. Real peace is a heart matter and not a content or space matter. Real peace is only possible in Jesus who came to unite the Jew and the Gentile and make peace in one new man.

GOD IS FORMLESS

9/9/10 GOD IS FORMLESS

God is and therefore He can. He can do anything and He will. He will hear the cry of His people. The broken, outcast and disempowered are His. The slave and the servant are His. The black, yellow, red and white are His. It is not the form but what is formless that is more important. The form will never last while the formless is for eternity. So why do you worry so much of the form when it is what is not seen that matters. Why are you so blind and taken up with your thoughts and opinions when what matters is love, peace and joy. These are the formless attitudes that matter and will last. No one can rob you of these yet these are what the world craves for. They try and get it through the form. How can the things of the spirit be understood through the form? The spirit world belongs to the formless yet man has tried to give form to it and thus devolved it of its substance. Faith is the substance of things not seen, the formless. Only through faith can you receive love, peace and joy. Yet God took the form of man so that we could understand Him and be with Him. Yet God is formless and is everywhere. He is in you and outside you. He does not exist in form yet He communes with you who is spirit. Your spirit is able to commune with His Spirit and this makes you one with Him. Focus on the formless and see the form take a new form.

AUTHORITY WITHOUT POWER

Confusion reigns in the land. When morals slide then the people will do as they please. This is repeated in history from the days of Israel in the wilderness. A nation will reap what it sows. A divided government will not be able to withstand the pressures of the day because division undermines the power base. Authority and power have to go together. One may have authority but no power. You need power to execute. Authority alone does not give you the power to execute. This is why many organisations fail to execute because their power base has been cut. You need power to light a house. Just having the house wired does not produce light. Therefore you can have a government but if it lacks power to rule then it will not be able to rule. This is the present state of this nation. You have a government that is divided and will not be able to rule because it is divided. What a state of affairs and this does not bode well for the nation. Divide and rule is a state that enables the rebels to take hostage a nation. Unity is the only way to rule. There is power released through unity. This is why families are divided because there is no unity. One can stand any change when one is united. Therefore this is a key value to uphold at all times if you want to move forward.

UNITY

Many are the ways of understanding a person or situation but only the Lord knows the truth. This is why it takes many minds for a proposal to work. Just like the blind men and the elephant it is the different parts that make the whole. So also when you work as a team, you see different parts and the solution is in bringing the whole together. It is the process of combining the parts that results in wholesome living. No part on its own is sufficient to achieve the task. No one is better then the other. The small toe is as important as the big toe. This is the way the body operates as a whole. It is because man wants to operate on his own that results in strive. Competition is good but many times it is at the expense of the some other part. When there are winners and losers then the body competes with each other part. It is when you keep the whole in mind that you are able to see the vital role of all the parts. When there is a split then this is at the expense of the whole. Any organisation that does not think of the whole will not do as well as one which operates as a whole. Unity is vital for survival. This is why many have to give up their small ambitions for the sake of the whole. If any one part decides to go on its own it will separate and come apart from the whole. Many organisations break up because of this. In the body it is important to keep the peace for the sake of unity. Unity in the Godhead should reflect in the unity of the body. If the head is divided then the body will crumble.

ONLY LOVING THOUGHTS ALLOWED

The Lord is good and His banner over you is love. Therefore only loving thoughts are admissible under His banner. All thoughts contrary to love needs to be banished. They belong to the flesh or the devil. Why entertain those thoughts or give them time and space? Godly thoughts lead to contentment in all things and all circumstances. If you realise that it is your thoughts that condemn you or free you, then you will stop entertaining negative thoughts. You can never blame another or circumstances for your thoughts. Own them as yours and you will then have control over them. People whose locus of control is external will always blame others or circumstances for their dire straight. Godliness with contentment is great gain. Therefore today rejoice in your position under God’s banner of love and entertain only loving thoughts. Your thoughts will influence your feelings and state of mind. Positive thoughts will arouse positive feelings and attitudes. Take control of them today and see how your talk and walk will change. Now your whole being will be affected and your immune system will get stronger as stress diminishes and strength increases. In Him you have a inbuilt filter system which will only allow positive, encouraging, up building and Godly thoughts to control you. Anything else needs to be exterminated in Jesus Name.

WALK BY FAITH

Speak the word of the Lord in boldness. Confusion arises when you question your own thoughts. When you speak from your heart, fully surrendered to the Lord, then you can speak with boldness. You are not concerned about your own reputation or ego needs but the Lord’s. He is Lord of your life, so what the crowd thinks does not matter. You represent the Lord and therefore you can be sure that He will speak through you. Your responses will also similarly be from the Lord. Believe this and then act accordingly. This is the only way to be free from yourself. Your oppressive self will always doubt but your confidence is that you desire to please the Lord and walk in His ways. Therefore be bold as you walk by faith. Faith lives in the moment for the moment and in this way is freed from the past and free from the oppressive forces that want to destroy you. In Him you are free. Abide in Him and He abides in you. In Him you have all the power you need to live a free life. Freedom is what He has called you to and in Him you are free to be. In this way you will be led by His Spirit and not by your thoughts. In this way you set yourself free from your self. Your ego needs become secondary to His will.

THE EARTH SHAKES

The hour of reckoning has arrived. There will be big movements on the earth as fires and flood waters rise. This is the earth groaning under the heavy assault it is suffering from man’s abuse. The land is reflecting what is happening in the atmosphere. All creation groans and trembles in the final hour. These are all signs of the suffering ahead before the second coming. This is the time to fast and pray for God’s mercy. It will take shock waves like these to awaken man from his slumber. The devil has bewitched man to thinking and feeling safe under the cloak of material security. All these will be shaken in the final hours before His second coming. The material world and all that is in it will be shaken and the very foundations that man has built for himself, will crumble and quake. God have mercy will be the cry, as man turns from his wicked and selfish ways, to cry unto God to save them from the coming tribulation. So do not be surprised but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.

TURNING TO GOD

Maybe the Lord is waiting for a people who will tarry night and day till they see a break through in the heavenlies. The land lies deserted because the people have forsaken it and left it to go barren. The land needs rain to water it and fresh crops will emerge. This is how the Kingdom of God works. Prayer soaks the land with rain and good fruit then emerge. Instead of weeds which thrive in barren land, good fruit will arise. Prayer will lead to good vibrations and all creation will respond to the heavenly vibrations. God is looking for a people who will seek Him for all their needs. In this materialistic age we have become too comfortable, depending on earthly resources. We can see these resources rather then seek for things in the unseen world. Faith believes and therefore prays for rain and depends on God. The time has come when men have lost faith in the material and will look to God to save them.

CHANGE

This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. Yes the Lord makes everyday and we will rejoice each day for His manifold blessings. The Lord is good and when you venture out in faith, He makes all things new. Today let go of the past and focus on the present. Now is the only time you have to rejoice. The past is a memory, a fiction, a mist, an illusion of the mind. Now is reality and today you can do things to effect change. Involvement is the path to change. When you avoid situations and circumstances then you allow what is, to determine the outcome. When you are involved then you are able to influence the situation through your presence and input. A kind word, gesture or just your presence may influence a good outcome. This is why it is more important to be present then absent. Avoidance does not change things as it only maintains the same. No change occurs when all is the same. The same repeats itself when there is no new input. Change occurs when the circumstances change or when the thinking changes. Change occurs when the players change positions. Any change is better then no change. Change means that there is life and any movement is better then no movement. Therefore today be an agent of change for good.

PRAY

Pray for this is the only way to have break throughs. Pray for this is the only way to walk by faith. Pray for this is the only way to move mountains. Pray for this is the only way to move forward. Pray in the Spirit for this is the way to enter the throne room with your prayers. Pray day and night. Praying is a lifestyle. Praying in the Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Jesus spent a lot of time in prayer. This was not just for Himself but because this is work in the spirit realm. When you pray you are releasing the heavenly powers to work on earth to bring salvation to man. When people pray they invite heavenly powers to enter into the affairs of men. You are not praying your will into existence but God’s will. Man works to earn a living. When you pray you cooperate with heavenly powers to bring His will to pass. Therefore praying is to be like breathing. You need to pray with every breath that you have. In this way you breathe in heavenly air and influence the earthly realms with heavens breath. Prayer should be the breath of a Christian. This is the only way heaven can become a reality on earth. There is no escape from this work. This is the time for Christians to pray. There is much more achieved through prayer then through work. The Spirit is at work through you but the hindrances to the work are the spiritual forces ganged up against you. These can only be overcome through victorious prayer. This is the way you violently overcome the powers of darkness and bring in the light. This is the light of His presence. Therefore pray till His will is done on earth as it is in heaven

DEAD IN CHRIST

What does it mean to be dead in Christ? To be dead means there is no response to the lusts and desires of the flesh. The flesh stands for the desires of the body and the soul. I am dead in Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I but Christ lives in me. The flesh is very much alive even though I reckon it dead. This is why we need to walk in faith all the time and reckon myself dead and alive in Christ. This is the state of consciousness in Christ that frees us from past programming and the power of sin. Consciousness delivers from the unconscious drives of the flesh life. The flesh seeks for itself and therefore will not be conscious of Christ in me. I become conscious of Christ in me when I surrender to His Spirit within me. By faith I now operate in the consciousness of His Spirit in me. This consciousness then makes me alive to His gifts and fruits in me. I can now operate in His gifts by faith. Whatever is not done in faith is sin. If I am not walking in faith then I am walking in the flesh. Faith is the air I breathe and by faith I walk to bring the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. I bind the forces of evil and release the Spirit of love and grace and mercy and liberate the captives. This is my mission, this is my calling.

NEW LIFE IN HIM

For the Lord is Mighty and His right hand holds you. He is your rear guard and van guard. He surrounds you with His angels and guards your foot steps so that you don’t trip and fall. How good is the Lord that He protects His own. Even in times of danger He is with you. Death is just a window to another stage of life. In God there is no death, only life. This body is just housing for your spirit and soul. It will age and decay and will suffer pain. But your soul will get stronger and stronger. It is your soul that finally finds rest in Him. Your body will be transformed just as Jesus was transformed when He rose from the dead. You new body will be free from the burdens of sickness and disease. Yes you will finally be totally free and can be anywhere at anytime. No need for jet planes or transportation of any kind. What a life, what a destiny. Who would want to be limited by this body then? Yes those who have tasted heaven will never want to return to this life again with all its trials and limitations. You can now experience something of the life to come when you graduate from this life. In the Spirit you can taste some of this. This is why you need to be filled in the Spirit daily to experience this new life. The Spirit lives in you and will work through you. Come Holy Spirit and fill me now.

LIMITED BY YOUR PAST

The impossible is made possible in Him. When you have Him in your life then anything is possible. This is the hope we have, that Christ in me is my hope of glory. He lives and therefore I have hope for tomorrow. Tomorrow can bring a new thing on the scene which can change everything. The change in me is the change that will change the world. I change and will see the world differently. Nothing changes without me changing. Therefore I am the author of change. What happens to me is not as important as what happens in me. My perceptions ultimately determine the outcome. If I see things as negative then I will produce negative outcomes. If I see things as positive then I will bring positive outcomes. This is why Jesus said if you tell this mountain to move, it will move. You have power within to move mountains. When you know that He lives in you, then you will see through His eyes. This is why you need to separate yourself from your natural history and begin to see yourself as a new creation in Christ. In Him you are writing a new story each day and wiping out the old story. Those who hold on to the old story will be limited in their vision. A limited vision will only produce a limited future. Now see yourself as a new creature in Christ and see how your today becomes a new story.

MY PEOPLE NEED TO PRAY

The Lord is God and there is no one who knows more then Him. He roams the earth and sees what is happening. He listens to the prayers of His people and answers them. The devil listens to the prayers of his people and answers them. What is planned for evil will be destroyed by the prayers of God’s people. When My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves, turn from their wicked ways and pray, then I will hear from heaven and answer their prayers. God’s people moved by the bad news need to pray for mercy so that the land will not be devastated but be renewed and refreshed. All creation waits for the revelation of the sons of God. We are children, sons and daughters of God and we need to pray. We prayed for the rains and the land has been watered after 10 years of drought. This has happened in the past and this is the way to progress into the future. Many will connect with the people of God as they get serious about His ways of doing things. Prayer is number one on God’s agenda because He moves through His Spirit. Man can only see the physical manifestations of God’s interventions. Only the spirit of a man can discern spiritual things. Tap into God’s Spirit and listen to Him so you know how to pray God’s mind into existence. This is how you do His will on earth as it is in heaven. First you must know God’s will and then you must do it. The knowing comes before the doing. The knowing comes through prayer.

CALL FOR RIGHTEOUS RULERS

This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. How good it is to see the full moon and marvel at His creation. How stupid can man be that he sees the moon, sun and stars and all the planets and galaxies and does not marvel at all creation. It is so true that man has made himself wise in his own eyes and has become a fool in rejecting God. God is the Creator and the creation story is the only plausible explanation for all that exists. Man can make things but never can he create from nothing. The foolishness of man will be his down fall. It is time the people of God took their place as leaders and rulers and rule on earth as it is in heaven. We are the hands and feet of God. Where our feet touch the ground, there we should possess and rule. If we don’t, then the devil will rule. Too many have given into fear and allowed fear to dictate rather then faith. The only remedy to fear is faith. A faith filled, Spirit filled Christian has the power of all creation to enable him to overcome all fear and obstacles. God is looking for righteousness on earth and it is like in the time of Abraham on the earth, where there were only a few righteous men. Pray for more Christians to enter the foray and take their place as rulers and to rule the land God has given them. We need a revival that will bring the holy fear of God into the hearts of men to enable them to resist evil and live holy lives.

MARRIAGE VOWS

Precious are the moments that enable the Lord to sow His thoughts into my mind. It liberates and extinguishes all other thoughts. God reveals His mind and it cancels the power of all other thoughts. You know it is the Lord because something in you lights up and you know. This inner knowing is what makes the difference. The witness in your spirit is one of the marks of guidance. The witness in His word and from others is another. Therefore you have 3 witnesses to judge your word - spirit, word and others. Just like a 3 string rope cannot be easily broken so also these 3 witnesses are a solid foundation. The counsel in heaven is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. How wonderful to have communion with all 3. In a marriage it is the 2 joined together by the Spirit that makes the union strong and resistant to pressure. This is why the marriage vows are a covenant and not just an arrangement. In the world marriages are seen as an arrangement to fulfil the law of man. In God it is a covenant relationship where the two become one for eternity sealed by His blood and blessing. God is the creator of marriage and only He can break it. Man will break it at his own cost and will reap the consequences. What God has joined let no man put asunder is the command. Too many commands have become suggestions and therefore lose the power to last the course. In God a relationship bound in heaven by oath lasts forever.

ABUNDANT LIVING

The Lord will come and assure you of His presence and goodness in your time of need. He is always present and is accessible at anytime anywhere. This is why He is called omnipresent. How good is to know He is available in time of need. Yet we need to exercise the consciousness of His presence all the time. The consciousness of His presence will drive out all evil from your midst. Being full of His Spirit is to be conscious of His presence. We are most of the time unconscious as if driving in automatic mode. The routine of life imposes a sense of security so that we do things in automatic mode. Being conscious is to be aware of every moment of our waking time and to be present. This is to make every moment count in the present. The now is more important then the past or the future. How you live in the now is what will matter for the future. There is no past or present in the now. It is all now and there is so much freedom in this, as you are free from the past and future. This is the way to live life to the full. Living in His presence, conscious of His presence, is the most fulfilling way to live. Come Holy Spirit and help me to live out this abundant life here and now.

HOPE FOR THE HOPELESS

Help is on the way. You can never lose hope for the Giver of hope lives in you. Christ in you is the hope of glory. Therefore when you feel down or depressed look to Him within you to come through for you. Because He lives I have hope for tomorrow. Hope is a life giving fruit of the Spirit. Therefore there remains faith, hope and love and greatest of these is love. Let His words fill you with hope. He comes through in hopeless situations and injects hope and brings new life. Watch the plants which look dead and withered in winter, spring to life in summer. It is the same experience when hope comes alive within you as you hear His now word. It is like new wine poured into you and you become filled in the Spirit and your soul cries out in adoration and praise. This is what He brings when all hope is lost. He is a living Saviour, a present King and a lover of your soul. There is no one else who can fill the gap that sin produced. He fills it with Himself and now you feel cleansed and whole in Him. He replaces the old with the new and the new wine of the Kingdom releases the joy in you. The blind see, the deaf hear and the captive is set free. Hallelujah.

BROADCAST THE GOSPEL

Lord you are so wonderful and I am so privileged to be called your child. What this world needs is to know you as Father God. The church has misrepresented you and made you look like a distant father figure who is only there to judge and not to love. This image has so tarnished the people’s minds that they want nothing to do with you. It is only a personal relationship with you that will change this perception. Your unconditional love is so deep and wide that there is nothing to compare with. Your love seen through your Son is the only way that the world will be won over. Your love will melt hard hearts and change a sinner into a saint. The gospel has the power to convert and redeem and no philosophy is sufficient to compare with it. The good news of the gospel needs to be broadcast everywhere and it is an urgent command. Jesus said, ‘Go into the entire world and preach the gospel’. This is not a request but a command. Salvation is through no other Name. Religions prove that man is made for God and God for man. Interfaith discussions will only compromise the truth. A compromise will not do when men are going to hell. The solution cannot be a compromise. A compromise never promises anything. Why invest in something that promises nothing. We are called to be peace makers and not peace keepers. You make peace by introducing the One who gives peace. Peace keepers are compromisers.

MOVING FORWARD

Surprises from the Lord are truly exciting. He comes in at certain times for He loves to surprise. He brings gifts to enthral you and to make you feel precious. God is the Lord of the Universe. In Him you have all things you need and more. He sustains you with His right hand and He delivers you from the Tempter of your soul. He is a righteous God and in Him there is no sin. He loves to give and forgive. Forgiveness is at the heart of the gospel. God forgives those who repent and turn from their wicked ways. He loves to bless His children. Keep a positive stance always for you know you are on the winning team. God and you are a majority. There is no lack in Him. There is no negativity in Him. He is all you need and in Him you are complete. Yes we are complete in Him. Now all you have to do is praise him. Praise Him, for His abundant love will sustain you and keep you moving forward. There is no sliding back in Him. It is forward gear all the time. What seems as a block is just a pause. You pause to let the enemy pass. Then you move forward, on your way to heaven as your destiny.

FREEDOM IN CHRIST

Precious are the moments with the Lord when it is just you and Him in close encounter. He is with you and He is always there. He loves these encounters when His child comes to listen to His now word. His now word is the word of revelation and insight. His now word is the word for you now, to help you to know His will and His mind for you now. It is not a word for tomorrow but for now. God is in the now always, for there is no beginning or end, only an eternal now. When you realise this then you become free from the past and the future. Most people live in the past or the future. They never enjoy the now experience, for they are always living in a cloud of unconsciousness. This cloud is infiltrated by worries and cares that keep you unconscious to the now. What a useless way to live and die? Yet many think they are living a full life. What a travesty of justice to be robbed of a life free and full. This is what the devil wants, for his mission is to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus came to set you free from his devilish devices and to be free to be. God accepts you as you are and total freedom is only possible in Jesus, for He only can wipe your slate clean and assure a bright future, filled with hope and joy. What redemption, what a salvation, what a destiny in Christ. Hallelujah

CHOOSE TO BLESS

The Lord is God over all. He plans the days and times of His coming and going. He controls the planets and the Universe. He is in charge of everything. Man is just a dot in the vast creation of His making. He is yet mindful of man and his doings. Man made in the image of God is placed in a position no other creation is. He can think like God and feel like God. He can imagine and speak a creative word like God. God has given man power in his tongue so that he can have what he says. God spoke and He created the worlds and all that is in it. So when you pray, believe that you are praying His plans into existence. This is the power of prayer. When you believe you have what you say, then you are like God. This is a mystery beyond imagination, yet it is true. God says if you say to this mountain, move, it will move. This means that you have the power in what you say to move problems and speak solutions. What a marvellous mystery that God should choose man to be His mouth piece! You choose to curse or bless. Choose to bless and be an extension of God rather then curse and be an extension of the devil.

RIGHTEOUS RULE

This nation needs to wake up or lose out. The people are being swayed by the left to liberal views and going down the road of destruction. There is destruction within and without. Without a moral compass the nation will have nothing to keep it afloat in times of crisis. Christians need to wake up to the call to prayer for the needs of the nation. The soul of the nation is in the psyche of the people. A people that have lost their way will give in to every whim and fancy. Each new ideology gives rise to hope but unless it can last, it is an empty hope. People are promised this and that but these are empty promises built on false hope. A materialistic society will be tempted by this and that but lasting hope is built on good values. Strong values are the backbone of a nation. These values keep the nation on the straight and narrow. They are a guide to good behaviour. Without values the nation will be swayed this way and that by the wind of change. The Ten Commandments are God’s value system which works today as it did yesterday. They are the basic premise of conduct for any nation and people group. They have stood the test of time. Violating them is to violate your conscience and give in to the spirit of rebellion. It is this spirit of rebellion that is at work to tear down these sepulchres of righteousness and replace them with lasciviciousness. Pray for a spirit of holiness to invade the nation so the spirit of rebellion will be bound and righteous rule will prevail.

HAPPENINGS

Precious are the times and places when the Lord reveals Himself to you. He comes in a still small voice or in happenings. Happenings are things that happen that amaze you as you did not expect them. You say something and you marvel at what you said. You have a new thought which excites you. You have a new feeling that suddenly comes over you. Joy bursts from within you suddenly. These are precious moments sent by God to comfort and strengthen you. Watch and listen and see the hand of God in the small things. These happen to you everyday when you notice them. Most of the time you are lost in a fog and therefore do not see. Now watch for those small things and be amazed. This is the hand of God dealing with you and showing His love for you through these happenings. God is good and His favour is upon you. Never grumble and give in to haste. Patience is a virtue seen most amongst saints. Cultivate this fruit of the Spirit knowing that your times are in His hands. I am most blessed because He blesses me with His abundance.

PEACE

Peace is the mark of one who knows how to rest in the Lord. This is a rest that comes from a daily walk with the Lord. The peace that passes all understanding will gird your heart and mind and nothing can disturb it. This is a peace that Jesus promised and it comes from deep within. Money cannot buy this peace. This peace is the fruit of the Holy Spirit who lives in you. The world talks about peace as if it is something you can buy. Such a peace is temporary for it is man made peace. The peace of God is sealed with His Name. In His Name all peace is eternal. It will never change despite the circumstances. It is a peace that is grounded in Him. What a peace, what a salvation, what a Saviour.

PERSEVERANCE

Glory to the Lord who keeps on keeping on till the day of His return. He never rests for He has eternal power and never tires. He is always positive and encouraging. He never fails for He believes in success. He does not shy from opposition and adversity for He knows this is the lot of a fallen world. There will always be resistance for not all believe in Him. Even those who believe in Him have different views and desires. Very few live to please him. Most are caught up in pleasing themselves. For many God is a cover for achieving their own selfish ends. This is why there is so much division in His church. People are constantly caught up in doing their own thing. Many have stepped off this race and gone into recession. They have got tired of all the bickering and back biting. The strong will hang on for they rely on their God and not in their own cleverness or strength. The only way to beat the opposition is to stand till they bow out. No one can stand the might of God. God is with the man and woman who will stand to the end. Jesus went all the way to the Cross. He was cursed all the way yet He stood the course and won. Resurrection power is released as you stand and do not relent. God is here for the long haul and only those who are prepared to stay the course to the end will inherit the crown. Persevere to the end and you will never grow dry.

PRAYER

The Universe is upheld by prayer. Most are only aware of the visible world. The invisible world holds the visible. What happens in the invisible transmutates into the physical. When men pray, then the invisible is moved to transform into the visible. This is why prayer can move mountains through faith. Without faith it is impossible to change anything. The whole world is held by faith. Whether you acknowledge it or not, your life is held together by faith. We think we know what forms the body but what holds it together? The glue factor which some call the God factor is faith. From the beginning God revealed His will through Abraham by faith. He walked by faith not knowing where he was going. All the men of faith brought heaven down to earth and performed sign ands wonders on the way. Therefore signs and wonders can be expected when you walk by faith. Those who walk by sight are fooling themselves. They think they know when they really don’t know but fool themselves. They are surprised that things don’t work out as they planned sometimes. They then lose heart and some suicide as the only option to their perceived failure. Nothing is a failure for those who walk by faith, for all things work together for good, for those who love God and are called according to His purpose. So pray and see how He will work through you to answer your desires in the heavenly and earthly.

SUBVERTING THE ENEMY

Helpless and lost are the people who chase after other gods. The world is possessed by the media that is controlled by the devil. The media manipulates the populace and the spirit behind it is evil. Therefore be careful what you watch and hear. Those who are not submitted to the Lord will be influenced by another spirit, the spirit of the world. This is the spirit Jesus came to dispossess of its power and influence. He did this on the Cross. However His people must take their place and rule, otherwise the spirit of the world will rule. This is to take place in families and governments and in all places of influence. For too long His people have given in to the spirit of the world, for the sake of so called peace. This is not peace but compromise. Compromise with the devil is like sleeping in bed with your enemy. This will not work. This is why most peace treaties do not work. The spirit behind these need to be confronted boldly and not compromised with. Stay in the spirit of the Kingdom and not in the spirit of the world. This is the only way to subvert the ways of the evil one. Pray in the Spirit and in this way you can cancel his influence and usher in God’s influence.

ANOINTED WORKS

Consider the lilies of the field and how they bring glory to the earth. So also you are a lily planted on earth to show forth His glory. You are to shine for Him where you have been planted. You show forth His glory when you let His love shine through you. One can do a lot of things but it is only love that will be felt. A deed without love can be done by anybody. Love is the vital ingredient that will bind others to you. Without love the world will be filled with automatons that go about doing good deeds that does not last. Love is like a bond that glues what you do for eternity. Think about it. The things that last always left a mark on you and you yearn for that again. Lust takes while love gives. Today as you go about doing things, infect it with love. Let love be the anointing force that delivers what you do. Many are caught up in greed and power and these drive them to do things for others. This is not love but lust, as it always thinks about what it is for me. Manipulation is the name of the game where you are driven to distraction by false goals. Only love will ultimately count in eternity. Therefore store up treasure for eternity and not for treasures on earth which will rot and decay.

COMPASS

Many are the ways of the Lord and He will direct you through the forest and bring you to the garden. How good it is to know the Lord and know that he knows the way through the forest. I will get lost on my own but with my hand in His hand I will never get lost. He is my guide and I look to Him to guide me daily through life. He is the Giver of living water and I choose to drink from His well. His well fills me up and refreshes me. I am filled in Him to overflowing. I lack nothing because in Him I have everything. I will stand up and be counted for what I believe in. People are lost in this generation because they do not have a compass. The Bible was a compass to many at one time. Now science is the compass. However science does not have the answer to death and eternal life. Only He who has the answer to eternal life can give eternal life. He is my compass. The Word directs me to Him. When He is my compass then my compass will always be directing me to Him. How wonderful that His Spirit dwells in me to direct me to Him. He has filled me up with hope that never says die. His life has given me hope everlasting.

EYES OPEN

Many are the sorrows of the lost and some can’t bear it. Never judge a person by the cover. They hide a lot of things. This world majors on covers. A good cover up can fool many. One day the cover will have to come off and all will see the real. The world is dominated by sensual experiences. When one loses sight of the invisible then all that is left is the visible. It is the ability to see behind the visible into the invisible world that will propel you into the world of the spirit. The spirit world controls the physical world. Those who are blind to the spirit world cannot see. This is why Jesus said they are like the blind leading the blind. He came from the spirit world to reveal the Father who is spirit. He awakened my spirit so that my eyes were opened to see. Now I see and I believe. Now I have a hope that will never perish for it is founded on the Rock that never moves. Jesus is the Rock of our salvation and in Him I have access to the heavenly realm of wisdom and knowledge. Now I can do anything He calls me to do because He will give me the ability to do it. Now nothing is impossible for everything is possible in Him.

PRAYER

Prayer is the way to intercede for your needs and the needs of others. The God who answers prayers will intervene through your prayers. Prayers that are repetitious get no where. It is believing prayer that will get to the throne. Faith in a prayer answering God will determine the answers. God answers through the prayers of His people. A Christian on his knees in prayer is more powerful then a nuclear bomb. It blasts through the heavenlies to bring about changes on earth as it is in heaven. When you pray ask that His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We are to implement what is already done in heaven on earth. This is the prime role of a Christian. I am here to finish the task apportioned to me to do. I am not here to do another’s job. God has a plan for each one and only I can do what has been apportioned to me to do. I am an agent of heaven to fulfil God’s plan on earth. This is the royal commission and it is a command and not a suggestion.

THE POWER OF THE CROSS

Righteousness in Christ is imputed righteousness. It is not based on my good deeds. It is based solely on His deed. His death on the Cross for my sin makes His righteous act, mine. This alone is sufficient sacrifice for my sinfulness. Nothing but His blood is able to cleanse me and make me whole. This is the heart of the good news of the gospel. Yet the world refuses to accept this, for the world can’t see how this is possible. The sin of one man infected the whole human race. Now the death of one man absolves man of this sin. Sin like a virus affects our whole being. We are never free from its tentacles but we can be free from its judgement, because of His sacrifice. Many are taken up with working out your salvation. This working out is something you do after having been saved. This is a working out to confirm your freedom from sin rather then a working out to be free from sin. The Cross is my only hope and in it I will rejoice and like Paul, I no nothing other then the Christ and Him crucified. This is not religion but life. The Cross brought death to One, that many may have life through it. Thank you Lord for your life giving power that is released through your resurrection power because of the Cross.

BE STRONG IN THE SPIRIT

Power is released as you focus on His presence in you. The sure way to overcome the wiles of the flesh is to focus on His presence within you. He will give you the power to overcome all weaknesses of the flesh. God not only saves you but gives you the ability to live the saved life. Too many rely on their flesh to live the spiritual life. Only the Spirit is able to live the spiritual life. Just as you need tools to equip you to do a physical task so also you need the gifts of the Spirit to live a spiritual life. In Him you have all you need to live this life in the Spirit. The Spirit covers the flesh and controls the flesh. When you by faith reckon your flesh life dead then the Spirit will lead you in a path that enables you to forsake all and follow Him. This is why Jesus commanded us to forsake all things, take up our cross and follow Him. This kind of life is not for the weak but for the strong in faith. He will make you strong by His Spirit who dwells within you. When you walk in ignorance then you become weak and allow the devil to molest you. In His Word you become strong, for His word contains the life and the spirit to walk the walk.

SHINE JESUS SHINE

Hallelujah what a day to be alive. He is in me to help me through the day. I am connected with all things and all things are connected to me. Jesus said He is the Light of the world. Jesus said you are the light of the world too. This means we are lights in this dark world and as lights we shine to show the way to Him. One light joins with another till the whole world is lit up for His glory. Today walk as a light in this dark world. Each time you give something to someone you shine your light. You cannot hide your light for that will only plunge the world into darkness. Hiding the light is a selfish thing to do. So shine your light and let others see your light and be drawn to Him. This is our purpose in this world. He came as a light and one day you saw the light and became the light. What a world we live in and as the day approaches for His return, the light will shine brighter but also the darkness will grow deeper. Therefore let your light shine as you recognise His light in you. Do not hide it. Take off the cloak hiding it and let it shine through the window of your soul.

JESUS, SAVIOUR, REDEEMER AND FRIEND

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord and not in his own strength. The Lord loves those who are His and desires that all should come to Him and none should perish. All have access to His love but only a few choose to follow. The devil and his demons conspire to keep them blind to His purpose. The world is in the control of the devil but he does not have total control. His control is limited and he knows his time is up. He rules to kill and destroy. The world loves negative news because it is wired for this. God hates evil of any kind. What you see of death and destruction is the work of the evil one who works through his followers. They have been blinded by him. He has sowed his destructive seeds into them and all they can do is carry out his evil deeds. No one wants to kill and destroy but something in them causes them to do it. What is this something? It is the evil seed planted in them through hurt, offences and acts. Some have walked into his net and others have wilfully chosen to do so. Sin always opens one into his den of mischief and lust. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse you from sin and its effects. There is no other remedy that is an answer to sin. No amount of penance or self flagellation can wipe out the stain of sin. Come to the Cross of Jesus and let Him take your burden of sin and set you free.

JESUS IS ALIVE

Is Jesus dead or alive? This is the question that will determine your destiny. If He is dead then what you believe in is also dead. If He is alive then what you believe will revolutionise your life. Dead religion, is just that, dead. Jesus came to revive the world from its dead religious ways to a life of everlasting love and vigour. Where He is, there is life. This is resurrection life which has the power to raise the dead. Only those who believe can avail of His power. His power is given to help you achieve the utmost for His highest. Now you live in the realm of the supernatural. In Him you have the power to heal and deliver. In Him you have all the resources you need to overcome. He is in you and with you. The Holy Spirit never left Jesus on the Cross. He was with Him all the way and suffered with him. The travail of His soul was the anguish He felt in that dark time of His life. Your soul also will go through dark times but His Spirit is always with you. When you shift your focus to His Spirit within you, then your soul comes to rest. Your soul is battered by forces that are out to destroy you. However in the Spirit you are free from the tangles of your ego that strives against these forces. Your ego cannot stand the pressure and will buckle under pressure. However in the Spirit you have the power to overcome, what your flesh cannot do. In Him alone is your salvation. In Him alone is your hope of glory. Praise His Name always.

OVERCOMING IN HIM

Blessed is the Lord who makes me praise Him all day. He gives me joy and He puts a sprint in my step. He is my everlasting joy. He ordains times and places to achieve His plans. He is my everlasting father and I love Him so. I will rejoice in Him. All my enemies will turn to be my friends. They will see you in me and the Cross has the power to change the worst sinner into a saint. God is in the business of plundering hell and populating heaven. I am His agent of salvation as I have the pearl of great price in me. He lives in me and moves through me to attract all things to Himself. He is the Alpha and the Omega and there is no end in Him. I will operate in His Spirit and in His Spirit I can overcome all things. He will overcome through me. Praise the Lord for His manifold mercies.

REALITY IN HIM

Blessed is the Lord who gives me strength each day to face the day. He energises me and gives me a boost to my walk. He fills me up with His power and I operate on supernatural power. His supernatural power propels me forward and advances me into unknown territory. It is an adventure to walk with the Lord. He opens up new doors yet to be open and enables me to walk through it. He is the one who gives me new ideas and keys to understanding. He knows how I tick and He enables me to use my talents for His higher purpose. I just relax in His presence and learn to allow His Spirit to flow through me. He cleanses me and empowers me to excellence. He will never leave me or forsake me. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He appoints people for a certain time for a particular purpose. He has appointed me for a time like this to proclaim His Name and advance His cause in this world. He has positioned me for breakthrough deliverance from the evil of this world. Only in Jesus Name is there true deliverance. Everything else is maya, an illusion of the real. I will trust Him and enter the reality of heaven on earth.

WHAT YOU SOW IS WHAT YOU REAP

Blessings follow the man who trusts in the Lord and not in his own strength. God loves to bless those who put their trust in Him. He is the everlasting Father and He loves to give. He does not withhold from those He loves. Giving is His privilege. We deprive ourselves when we choose not to trust Him. The law of attraction surely works here. The Father’s heart is to give and when you give you lose His hands to give. This is what it means when His word says that what you loose on earth is loosed in heaven. When you open your heart and hands and give, then the Father’s hands are loosed to give. What a principle to emulate. Test me says the Lord and see if I will not prove it. What you hold will be withheld. If you withhold love then you will not receive love. It applies in all areas of your life. Love gives and does not withhold. Selfishness withholds. Therefore whether in the spirit world or material world the same principle works. What you sow is what you will reap.

EL SHADDAI

In His presence is everlasting joy. Joy comes in the morning as you awake and praise Him for the new day. He is in you and works through you. He loves to talk and minister through you. He is El Shadai the God is in this place. He is present where you are. You are His temple and He resides within you. Imagine the God of the universe resides in you. What can you not do now? Yes anything is possible because the miracle working God dwells in you. He is and was and is to come. Glory in His Name always. His name is Jesus. He has a name and through His name you can do all things. This is why you pray in His name so that you seal what is in His name. Seal to day Lord your mission you have placed in my heart.

DIVINE APPOINTMENT

Find God and find life. Only in God do you have real life. Without Him you are lost and wandering in a desert without hope and without life. With God you have a hope that lasts forever and a life that is eternal. Yes eternal life is only possible in God. He planned from the beginning that you should live in Him and move in Him. His design from the beginning was for a people born to love and serve Him. You have the God gene in you and all you live for is to glorify His Name. You yearn to be in His presence all the time for this is the only place for true living. In Him you live life to the full. Without Him you are nothing. Like a fatherless child, you are, without God. God is the Father and those who know Him know what it means to be a child. A son is one who is secure in the love of His father. This is how Jesus was on earth with His heavenly father. You too can have the same relationship with the Father that Jesus had. Come Holy Spirit and burn this message into my heart.

GLORIOUS SALVATION

Praise God for He is the greatest of all. He is my Redeemer and Friend and I will exalt His name always. He is my present Comforter and He knows everything about me and still loves me. How can a holy God accept a sinful man? This is only possible because He sees the righteousness of Jesus imputed on me. I am covered by His blood continuously and so I am accepted in His presence. Sin no more has power over me. I may live in a sinful world but I am clean in His presence because I have been redeemed. This is the Good News and this news needs to be spread around the world so that all may come to the knowledge of His salvation. Is there anything greater then this? He loves you so much and there is no love like His love. Therefore praise Him and adore Him and give Him thanks. You will never be alone for He is where you are. He has possessed you for Himself and this He does for each of His possessed ones. Glory to God and hosanna in the highest.

GOD'S VISION

God will enable you to do anything He has called you to do. He sows His vision into you. He then feeds your vision by confirming it in you. You rise to the challenge and make it your mission. He supplies for the mission. He initiated it and He will provide. All you need to do is keep your eyes fixed on the goal. The vision will take form. Help will come from all directions as the vision impacts on others. You begin to see your whole life being shaped by the vision which finally takes you over. You dream, eat and sleep the vision. This is the way goals are attained and the impossible becomes possible. God is the supplier for all your needs. You started in faith and you will finish in faith. The flesh will oppose any move in faith for it seeks comfort in its senses. Therefore trust the Lord all the way and He will get you through to the end.

SUPERNATURAL COVER

Supernatural cover is the covering of His cloak over you. You have supernatural covering as a protection from all the evil forces that are geared against you. Supernatural covering involves the angels who guard you 24/7. Angels have been sent to protect you. They guard your thoughts and filter them so that you will never give up. Once you have been redeemed you have the power of a redemptive life within you. This redemption is forever. The Lord knows those who are His. He has planned an eternal destiny for you. No moth or rust can take this away from you. You are eternally secure under His supernatural cover.

IN HIM

O Lord how magnificent is your love and greatly to be praised are your ways. You lead me and guide me and give a spring to my step. I love your words of life which you whisper to me. You have freed me from bondage to the flesh. You have liberated me from the distractions in the world and set me free to live life to the full. Your Holy Spirit within me leads me and guides me. You share your thoughts with me and I just stand amazed at your wisdom. You make things possible that seemed impossible. How good it is to sit at your feet and listen to your words of life. When a man has discovered the source of his life, he becomes like God. God is the source of his life and from this source flows all the issues that pertain to life. He has the answers to these issues and so when you tap into His source you have the answers to the issues.

ABIDE IN HIM

The Lord is good and His banner over me is love. He is my rear guard and vanguard. He looks after me 24/7 and never rests from His labours. He is full on to me and cherishes fellowship with me. This is my God and I love Him so. When the two are in such close communion then nothing can come between. This is the love God demands and wants because this is what is best for me. He knows what is best for me. He knows the end from the beginning. Who else can I entrust my life to but Him. A foolish man seeks his own way of salvation but only death will be his counsel. Why follow a man who will die one day. Follow the One who has risen from the dead and who lives to tell the story through you and me. I love Him better everyday will be my song and abiding in His presence is my privilege and right. All doubts vanish in His presence. I am made whole in Him while I abide in Him. Lust will beget lust and love will beget love. In Him alone is there true love, the God kind of love that never fades.

CENTRED IN HIM

There are so many distractions that keep you from being in your centre. Your centre is the Kingdom of God within you. Jesus is King and when you are distracted then He goes into the background. How to keep Him central while still going about your daily business is the challenge. The only way to do this is to be conscious of His presence all the time. When you are conscious of His presence, this will enable you to consult Him and be in constant communion with Him. This ensures that you don’t easily get trapped into fleshly ways again. Your battle with the flesh is ongoing although it is reckoned dead. There are too many distractions that demand your attention. They bombard you with information and tickle your senses. However they are only distractions and don’t mean much in the light of eternity. What matters is your consciousness of His presence in you. He will commune with you and give you the words of direction and encouragement you need when you need it. When you centre in Him then all these distractions will melt away and you will experience the peace of heaven within you. This is the peace promised to you which is beyond understanding. How do you explain peace in the presence of death and destruction? This is the peace of the peace giver who lives in you. Christ in you the hope of glory.

IN HIM

When you are feeling lonely and blue remember this is a passing phase. God is always with you even on your blue days. He will speak to you even when He does not appear to be near. He is omnipotent God who is able to move any mountain you face, internal and external. When you come to the place of total surrender, where you are nothing and He is everything, then living life is a song. All you have is nothing compared to Him and He becomes your everything. You now can move freely and be content at all times. Knowing Him is like no other. To know Him is to love Him. He will succour you and keep you alive even in the desert. Praise God for His wonderful plan of salvation. His Holy Spirit in you is your hope of glory. His word will come fresh to you and keep your mind fixed on Him. Then nothing of this world can charm you away from His great love and presence. In His presence is joy everlasting.

MINISTRY OF THE HEART

Blessed be the Name of the Lord who gives freely to all who ask Him. It is with the heart a man believes unto salvation. Therefore any teaching that only addresses the head will not stir up belief but only information. Belief is of the heart and a heart belief leads to conviction and conversion. Therefore be sure that you communicate from your heart so that people will be stirred from their heart into action. Belief that is from the heart translates into action from the heart. Heart action will last for it is from the depth of your being. Head knowledge is only good for information. God has ordained you as a minister of the heart. This is why modern day preaching does not work because they do not minister to the heart but the head. Knowing about someone is different from knowing someone. So also preaching about Jesus is different from preaching of Him with whom you have a relationship. In these days of information explosion it is important that you are not distracted by information overload. When you are still, then you begin to hear from your heart. God speaks to you through your heart. When you operate from your heart then you begin to minister to the hearts of others. In this way you operate from a different dimension and cause change to occur at a deeper level. Ministering from the heart level is the same as ministry in the Spirit. The Spirit resides in your heart and communes with you in your heart. Your head then receives this information and knows the difference, because you sense it is from a different dimension to your head source. Be a minister of the heart and see how your talk and walk will be different.
