WALK BY THE SPIRIT

3/9/11 Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. He is the Lord of all and therefore He knows everyone's heart. He calls all into His kingdom but only a few will hear. The god of this world has blinded many to the way. They follow other ways because they are enticed by the god of this world. The god of this world always entices through the external lights and pleasures. Man falls for this so easily through his eye gate. This gate is the gate that entices all to fall. The media is the main channel through which the world influences us. Watch the eye gate and do not fall for the superficial ways of man. Pride entices by feeding the ego which looks for power and popularity. Pride always gets in the way of dependence on God. Man was created in the image of God and therefore has the desire for power. But this power has been turned inwards and serves self rather then others. God's power is available for service and not to serve your self interests. Whenever you are involved in serving others then you know you are working for God. Many serve but again they do it with self interest. It may all look good but where there is pride the ego is fed and not the other. Agape love serves without any self interest and serves the other without conditions. This is the kind of love that will go the distance and bless the people. Be filled in the Spirit and walk by the Spirit and you will fulfill all God's commands in the flesh.

POWER WITH GOD

2/9/11 Amazing God who has chosen to commune with a chosen people to work out His plans for a Kingdom made without hands. God wants a people who will be totally dependent on Him. This means death to self and a whole heart surrender to His ways. God's ways are not man's ways because there is no selfishness in God. Man is always self centered because he is man. God is Creator of man and so only seeks to bless and not to control. He gives man free will so he can choose to obey rather then be forced to do so. His ways are always the best way. Therefore listening to Him and walking in His ways leads to health and wealth. Pride never served man, only destroyed Him. God is watching your heart, not your purse. Man is moved by hearts that are broken and compassionate. God is moved by hearts that are broken and open for His healing touch. This is why God moves through whoever is available to Him. It is not education or standing but a humble heart that leads to communion and power with God. God loves a humble heart that will give and not think of the cost.

WALK IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD

1/9/11 Praise God who gives new direction and guidance daily for my pursuit of His glory. God is good and His faithfulness is everlasting. In Him will I hope and in His goodness will I cherish. He is my father and I am His child. In His presence is everlasting joy. In His courts there is justice and fairness. In the world there is so much disparity. The poor are neglected and the rich are courted. How much the world's systems are against justice and fairness. This disparity causes all the ill will and discontent. Peoples are divided and there is no safe place because the disenfranchised look for justice in their own way. Blessed is the man who walks in the ways of the Lord and does not trust his own judgements. He looks to His Spirit for guidance. The Spirit of the Lord is upon you and you don't have to seek the favor of man. Many are the troubles that follow the man who is guided by his ego. The man who trusts in the Lord fears the Lord and not man. .

RESURRECTION POWER

Presence is power. His presence in you is resurrection power. In His presence you are more then a conqueror. He can turn your mourning into dancing. Therefore invite His presence. Just be and let Him do. To be is to be present and not absent. To be present is to exercise consciousness of His presence in you. To be absent is to be in fantasy land. Here there is no presence other then the dream you are in. Reality is to be present. Fantasy is to be absent and present in your own world of making. He is present in you to enable you to do the things you want. He gives you the desires of the Spirit and then enables you to achieve them. God has given you the desire for a million souls. Now He will cause you to do what will enable you attract the million souls to Him. He does not give you a desire that will fail. He gives you desire that will accomplish His purpose. Therefore what you see is an illusion, present today and gone tomorrow. What is real is unseen and only God can see into the unseen. He reveals this to you so you also can see and believe. His resurrection was foolishness to man but to Him it was a reality. You too can live the resurrection life when you believe and see.

THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOUR GUARANTEE

The Lord has purposed that you will walk in His ways and consider His counsel all the days of your life. he is the Lord who calls you and renews you and enables you to do great things. his Spirit is within you to help you to accomplish all that he has purposed for you to do. He will bring revelation to you that will astound your mind. His thoughts are not man's thoughts.His ways are higher then man's ways. You have looked around for someone to follow but all follow their own ways. The Lord knows the heart of man and He knows your heart. You have determined to serve Him at all costs and this pleases Him. When you come to the place of total surrender then you have arrived at God's home. His home is in heaven where He is seated and rules all things on earth and in the Universe. He holds all things together even the financial systems of this world. Therefore trust Him at all times and do not fear the devil who has lost his venom and just plays an illusion of himself. Don't fall for the illusion when you know the real. His Spirit within you is the only guarantee you need of your destiny in Him.

SPIRIT MAN

How good God is that he has chosen to reside in me? He is awesome and He gives me the power to love. I can only love from my spirit man. My flesh man loves to get. My spirit man loves to give. Why should I give space to my flesh man who only gives me trouble? My flesh is so sinful I can't stand him anymore. I want him to be crushed and removed out of my life. But the way of the Cross is daily death to the flesh man. I thank god he has given me a spirit man to live through. I would rather die then live the life of the flesh man. Once you have tasted the spirit life nothing compares with it. There is nothing to compare on earth with the spirit life. It is eternal, incomprehensible and full of wonder. I live the spirit life and I will walk it and not slip into the unconsciousness of the flesh life. I will grow in the spirit and my flesh will slowly die and die and die till I die. Thank you Lord for the light that you shine in my darkness. I am free from the burdens of the flesh life because I live in the spirit. From the spirit I gain the leverage to surmount all the challenges that face me daily. I will face the evil one and demolish him in the power of the spirit. Come Holy Spirit and possess me till I am wholly thine.

HIS WAY

The Kingdom of God is within you and so the King resides within you. When you realiZe this then all your attention is for the King. You begin to rule your life through his Spirit within you. You are no more under the rule of the devil or the flesh. The flesh and the devil will have to bow to the Spirit of God within you. You then begin to influence others through His Spirit within you. All other spirits will bow to your spirit. people will begin to acknowledge you and see there is something different in you which they will then desire. This is how the Kingdom extends its boundaries. You have to be true to yourself. Now you can deny the flesh and treat it as alien to you. You will fight it with all your might till it becomes bowed down. When it raises its head you whack it hard. Your flesh is your enemy so do not give into its desires. Praise God who gives you the strength to overcome the flesh through the Spirit. You will have compassion for those who are burdened by their sin nature and bound in their own prisons. You will extend to them love and guide them to salvation in Jesus. This is the way of the Cross. There is no other way and Jesus had to go that way for you to follow. He had the Spirit of God within Him and so do you. This is what will give you hope as you turn from your way to His way. hallelujah.

IN HIM

When you operate from the spirit man you project His peace and love and joy. All other projections stem from your flesh man. The flesh man projects your fears and all other negativity. The flesh is depraved and influenced by the world around you. In the spirit you live in the spirit world and are enclosed in His protective armor of love. All you feel is love and peace. This is the only way to live in a world full of turmoil and hate and lust. What is your protection against these forces? The love of God enfolds you and no matter what comes against you, you are safe and secure in His love. This is the privilege of the sons of God. What more can you ask when you are surrounded by such a vast crowd of witnesses. He is in you to enable you to live a victorious life. He is the author and finisher of your faith. In Him you are a prince and in your princely state you can conquer all odds. Praise Him who calls us to His bosom and guides us to our destiny in heaven.

LIVING SACRIFICE

A living sacrifice is what the Lord needs. Such a sacrifice does not think of self and is not caught up in ego battles. It remains fixed on the altar of sacrifice at all times and not just when it is convenient. Today practice living as a sacrifice for the Lord by devoting all your energies in operating in the Spirit. It is easy for all you need to do is be in the Spirit. It is not hard work as the Spirit will do it all. All you need to do is surrender to Him. Surrender means no rights. You then can respond in the Spirit in each situation. You don't have to spend your energy battling within yourself. You are free to be, for you are operating as the real you. The false is a front and takes much work. The real is natural for it is not concerned about the outward but the inward. The inner life is what matters. The outer is just a facade like the walls of a house. What is in the house is what is important. If what is in the house is empty then there is no life or if it is chaos then all there is, is noise. Come to the river of life and be filled to overflowing and be blessed.

WALK IN THE SPIRIT

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord and looks to Him only for His salvation. The Lord is good and His love endures forever. He is your friend and He will never leave you. He is there in the night time when it is very lonely. You can access Him at anytime. You don't need to make an appointment for He is available at all times. He will speak to you when you quieten your mind and wait for Him. He comes in spontaneous thoughts, pictures and feelings. He speaks through your senses. Therefore be alert and as you zone into His channel you will hear Him more clearly. The spiritual walk is to walk more in His zone then in your own zone. How liberating and powerful is His zone. Like radio channels there are many channels that compete for your attention. Learn to zone out from these other channels and zone into Him. Once you know how then it is but a matter of remaining in that zone.

IN THE SPIRIT

The spirit is behind every word and thought and feeling. Your spirit is able to discern and the Holy Spirit within you will help you discern. In the Spirit you are able to transcend all things of the world and the flesh. The devil operates in the spirit world. This is why it is important to discern of which spirit you are feeding from. The devil is able to use people who appear to be good but really are used by the devil to propagate his message and blind people to the truth. This is how he deceives people. When the light shines then eyes are open to see. The Cross is the only solution to the problem of sin. You can be very spiritual but if you are still in sin then your destiny is hell. You have been positioned in your work place to be the spiritual voice in that place. In the spirit you will find the answers and the solutions to the problems. Your presence will drive out the demons and your wisdom will solve problems. Therefore be in the spirit at all times. In the spirit time and space are of no event. You operate in eternity. Now is the only time of essence. Now rejoice in the Lord and be glad.

YOUR HOME IN HEAVEN

Prepare for the day of the Lord for He is coming soon. He comes earlier for some when they are taken home to be with Him. If you believe your home is in heaven then you will build your home in heaven. You will invest in your heavenly home. Your earthly home is just a place on your way to heaven. There is no abiding place here. You will spend all your time and energy in building your eternal home. Yet many don't have vision and are so taken up with building their home here on earth. How foolish to lose sight of your eternal destiny. Those who fix their eyes on heaven will be able to control their earthly desires more effectively. If Jesus is Lord then all your desires will be heavenly desires. You will be unconcerned about your earthly needs. You will be content where ever you are because you are just passing through. Jesus came to give us a hope for an eternal Kingdom. Hallelujah what a vision and a destiny. It begins now and never ends.

HE IS YOUR ALL IN ALL

The Lord has everything under control. He knows what you need when you need it. He is the Savior of your soul. He is the Creator of the whole world and all that is in it. He is the Alpha and Omega of your faith. In Him you have everything you need to lead a life of success. Success is in serving others and building others up. Success is not personal till it benefits others. In the world success is measured by personal worth. In the Kingdom of God success is measured by treasures stored up in heaven. In Him you have everything you need to lead a bountiful life. He is the lily of the valley, the bright and morning star. In Him you have what you need of wisdom and knowledge and power and love. All He has is yours. All you need to do is ask. Ask for everything and more will be supplied. He is like a Father who loves to lavish in His kids. There are no restrictions or limits. Have this mind in you that He died to save you and lives to honor you. Wow.

ATTITUDE

The world of business is a cut throat business. You have to be prepared to lie to win. Honesty is not a commodity in business. You could rise and fall within days. Yet God allows business to occur in everyday life. An honest businessman is hard to find. His honesty will keep him sane but at a cost. All of life is a business. You take risks and count the costs of your decisions. Its good to consult with others so that you have a good outcome. Everything is good in itself. It is our attitude that makes it right or wrong. A positive attitude will always bring good to a situation. Negative attitude adulterates what is good. This is how sin spoils everything. Lust also does the same thing. Love when turned to lust will spoil everything. Therefore keep your heart pure and do not let your flesh take control. Live each day as if it is the last day. Live life to the full. In this way you bring glory to God and are free from all encumbrances.

CONTENTMENT

Many are the woes that will befall man but he who trusts in the Lord has nothing to fear. He is kept in the palm of His hand and is protected from all evil. He will run away from the scent of evil. He will keep himself pure like the bride for the bridegroom. The Lord is coming soon and therefore there is no point to waste in other things that excite the flesh. The Spirit must hold center place for He is central to all that is happening in the world. All the disasters and troubles are a foretaste of what is to come. Those that hold on to their riches will be disappointed. Those who hold on to the Lord will be satisfied. The Lord can bring to pass in a second what man takes years to build. He is the Lord of all. Materialism has so hardened the heart of man that he can't see all that is behind the glitter. All that glitters is not gold. All the silver and gold cannot buy you happiness. Only the Lord is sufficient for every need you have. Trust in Him and be satisfied with what you have. In this contented state you will enjoy all things.

BE JESUS TO ALL

Praise the Lord who gives me courage and wisdom for the task ahead. He leads me and guides me along life's narrow way. He is my deliverer from all evil. In Him I am safe and secure. In Him is my righteousness. It is a marvelous thing to know that His blood cleanses me continuously from all sin. The devil can't touch me because I am in Him. He is my Protector. I have all in Him and I want for nothing. I now can spend the rest of my days in praising Him. All I need to do is praise Him and this will usher in His blessings and presence. He will direct my mind to think right and not wrong. When I am in neutral gear then I am open to all possibilities. When I box people in then they are boxed in and no change can occur. A person feels if they are boxed in or free in your presence. Jesus accepted all even though He knew them through and through. You only know in part and yet you box people in for your own need of control. Free them by accepting them and never seek to control them. You are then free to be yourself. When you box others then you box yourself in. What you give is what you get. Therefore love others and this way be Jesus to all.

GOD IS MY SHEPHERD

The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want. How good it is to know my Shepherd and to dwell in His midst. He knows my every need and He looks after me. He looks after me and ensures that His angels guard over me. He sends His angels to my aid whenever I call for them. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.He is my Rock and my Fortress and in Him I am safe. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. What wonderful words of life and strength. I will dwell in His presence for this is my dwelling place.I will praise the Lord at all times because I know He cares for me. Even when I walk through the valley of death He is close to me. Jesus went through the crucifixion process because He was called to do so knowing this was His Father's wish. He was confident in His Father's wishes and He rose again. God always comes through in resurrection power when all seems lost. All I need to do is to hang in there and trust Him to see me through. I love the Lord and in His presence I will dwell.I will seek His face and be a light in the midst of darkness. Come Holy Spirit and fill me today to be a light.

WORSHIP HIM

The Lord gives and he takes away, blessed be the Lord. He is the Giver of life and He is the Creator of life. He is above all and how can I a creation argue with Him. Who do I think I am to challenge His wisdom? I need to grow to appreciate His excellence in all things. I am but an ant and I just need to praise Him at all times. He is my Lord and I can’t imagine where I would be without Him. He is my all in all. He leads me and guides me and in Him I have all I need for an abundant life. A touch from Him is enough to make me whole. I behold Him and look to Him for manna each day. I love Him and cherish Him with all I am. I will seek to please Him in all my ways. I may slip into the flesh but He wakes me up and keeps me in the hollow of His hands. No amount of words can satisfy a man. It is only His Spirit’s unction that can meet my deepest needs. Come Holy Spirit and fill me to overflowing till I am blessed out of my socks. I worship the Lord Almighty, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. In Him alone are the fountains of living water which flow endlessly. I will worship the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Blessed be the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.

HOLY SPIRIT POSSESSION

Powerful are the words from the Holy Spirit to change and transform lives. His words penetrate between soul and spirit and unshackle the shackles within. He is the discerner of the soul. Many look on the outside and make shallow judgements. God looks to the heart and His judgements are just. He knows you are fallen and succumb to sin easily. You maybe able to fool others but you can’t fool God. He sees and he knows and he believes in you. He has put His Spirit within you so that you can live His life. It is so simple yet profound that He lives in you. Now you have an eternal source you can rely on. You have earthly resources which are limited. The heavenly resources are minion times more then what you have. All that you have is an illusion which can be wiped out in a second. What you have in heaven is eternal. Therefore store up treasures in heaven. What a precious pearl you have in the Holy Spirit. He is the first deposit for what is to come. He comes and He welcomes all who look to him for manna. The manna He gives is eternal. Come Holy Spirit and flood my being till I am wholly yours.

NEW MIND

Jesus came to live His life through you. He does this through His Holy Spirit in you. He had to die and go back to heaven so that he could send His Holy Spirit to dwell in you. Imagine the potential within you when you realise that the Creator of the world lives in you. This revelation will blow your mind and still your heart. Your mind wants to control everything but the Holy Spirit works through your heart. He resides in your heart and thinks through your heart. When you begin to think through your heart then you are closer to the heart of God. Your mind is fleshly and thinks only of itself and its needs. Your heart is broad and large and embraces more then you. It extends itself because it is able to fathom the depths of eternity. Your mind is finite because it is limited by your brain. Your heart has no limits because it thinks like God. Now you can fly and swim and dance because you are free from the encumbrances of your mind. Your limited mind cannot fathom the mind of God. The Holy Spirit knows the mind of God. Switch into His mind by operating in the knowledge of His Spirit and fly. Yes to fly is to be above all the limitations of your mind. It is to soar like an eagle. Thank you Lord for your Holy Spirit. I acknowledge your presence in me and now I will operate in your mind and see the barriers pushed back. Hallelujah here I come world, to overcome all barriers and see the impossible become possible.

DECISION TIME

For it is appointed to man once to die and then it is settled for eternity. His decision on earth will determine his eternal destiny. This is the gospel and it needs to be declared to the entire world today. There is no other way to attain salvation then through the Cross of Jesus Christ. This is the only fool proof way and any other way is a deception. You can only declare what you believe. Others will have to decide on the basis of what they hear. You have to proclaim the message and this is the final hour. There is not much time left and you may be called home at anytime. What will you do with the time that is left? You have to proclaim the Good News far and wide. This is all you have left to do. Man searches for ways to advance himself but the time for that is ending. There is a window of opportunity after which there is no end to the destruction that will come upon the earth. Your silver and gold will not be sufficient to save you. All you have is your clothes on your back for all will be taken away. You will escape the fire by your teeth but nothing is lost for eternity is yours. Therefore live each day as if it is the last day and you will live in the freedom of the righteous. The righteous have no desire for this world and only look to the place awaiting them in heaven. They will happily die today for their treasures are in heaven. They have found peace for their souls and they await their Saviour’s return. Nothing faces them for they know all these things will come to pass. They are ready for the worst knowing that the best is yet to come. Therefore praise Him daily and be prepared for His soon coming to call you up to His Kingdom in heaven.

NEUTRALITY

Assumptions make us prejudge situations and persons. These assumptions are based on personal beliefs. These beliefs are based on history, experience and folklore. Assumptions give us a context to make judgements. However they are just assumptions and not the truth. Assumptions are personal till they become a group belief system and is held by the group. Given that there is a inbuilt bias in all this, it behoves the observer to be non judgemental and give the observed a listening ear. To maintain a neutral position enables you to suspend judgement and to limit your assumptions in boxing people in. This is so releasing for the observer and the observed. When you live your life on assumptions then you box yourself into a corner. Your sense of reality is based on your assumptions which maybe false. The world is so impermanent that we need some belief system to make sense of this world. Religion provides that base to some extent. However when those belief systems are challenged then your world begins to crumble too. Ideologies are based on these strongly held beliefs. People will fight to death to uphold their beliefs. It is not open to challenge. This is why these systems fossilise after a while. People in these systems also fossilise because they are isolated by their beliefs. Neutrality accepts others as they are and also frees you to be a person who accepts challenge and change. Jesus never condemned others but accepted them from the tax collector to the adulterer. The clash of beliefs and ideologies is what you see in the world that leads to violence and mayhem.

FANTASY IS NOT REALITY

Fantasy is not reality. Fantasy is a state where you dream of being in a place of your own creation. It does not entertain any possibility of being out of control. Every character in your fantasy is in your control. The outcome is predictable in that you will always win. This is your way of keeping your ego intact and not allowing it to face danger and distress. It is an escape from reality. Reality is in the now. There is no reality in the past and the future. What you thought is past. What you think is present. What is past fades into the past as a memory. Your brain can recall some of the things of the past but it can never recall everything exactly. Some of the memory will fade away into oblivion. Now is the only reality and what is real is that you are breathing and thinking now. Focus in the present enables you to be more real and in tune with the present. Being present is to be connected to what is present. Sometimes you can be here but not here. If you are in a fantasy world too much then your body is here but your mind is somewhere else. This is the fate of many who operate and live in their thoughts rather then in the present now. In relationship with others ask yourself if it is in fantasy or reality. In fantasy you form an image of the other in glowing terms and therefore see no fault. In reality that fantasy is challenged. When you see a person for the first time it is the looks that capture your attention. Then when they open their mouth you see someone else. Therefore learn to live in the present and cut yourself free from your past and future and be free.

CARRY THE LIGHT AND PUSH BACK THE DARKNESS

The presence of the Lord is what makes the difference. Without His presence it is all words with no action. His presence gives power to the words. Jesus always spoke into action what He said. He said eyes open and they opened. The gospel that is powerless is useless. You exercise this power when you believe what you say is God inspired. God filled words have the ability to create that for which it was sent. When God said let there be light, light came forth. When God created the worlds He spoke them into being. The word of His power created and put into motion the worlds. You too have power to create as you tap into His presence. His presence is available to all who call on Him. He is present everywhere but most are not aware of Him. You have a personal relationship with Him and when you enter in He comes present. In His presence you now have the power to see and hear Him and then to express His mind to bring heaven to earth. God is at work to demolish the powers of darkness and sin and to bring His light into existence. Therefore enter into His presence and live like a king because He resides in you. No force can stand in His presence and survive because He is Lord of all. The darkness only makes the light brighter and therefore do not fear the darkness. The darker the night, the brighter will be the light. Carry His light and see the darkness pushed back.

TUNING INTO GOD'S AGENDA

God is at work in you and will reveal to you His mind when you need it. The revelation you receive will astound you and you will become renewed. God is working in this world and in His church. You need to tune into what He is doing and do what He is doing. Many are involved in their own projects and including God in it. This is fallacy as doing this is for self glorification rather then for God. God reveals His mind to His people. All His people need to do is do what He is doing. This is what Jesus did. He did what He saw His Father doing. When you do what you see Him doing then you are in His will and doing His Kingdom works. This will take all pressure off you and keep you in the centre of His will. All opposition will melt away as you keep your eyes on Him. All negative thoughts and feelings will come under control as you fix your eyes on Him. Do not entertain those negative thoughts. Know that any negativity is from the pit. God’s thoughts are peace and love and not division and disruption. Even when you disagree you can do so in love. When Jesus called the Pharisees white washed sepulchres He did so in the spirit of love to enable them to see their blindness. In the Spirit you too can overcome. There is no other way to live then in the fullness of the Spirit. In this way you don’t have to fear anyone or anything. All is under His control even your enemies.

REALITY AN ILLUSION OF THE MIND

Remember the days of old when you used to bargain with the Lord for this and that. Now you have grown up and realise that the Lord knows what you need. He gives freely to those who ask and do not doubt. The Lord has made a way where there was no way. He is God and He can make a way when it is required. He has the whole world in His hands and there is nothing too difficult for Him. He is the Lord of the now and the hereafter. The Lord is good and His banner over you is love. When you speak with the authority of the Lord then Satan will withdraw. He comes to your aid when you acknowledge Him as Lord. He is with you and in you to perfect you to be like Jesus. Therefore be strong and do not be afraid for the Lord thy God is with you.The Lord is good and He will bring you through the troubled waters to the place of plenty. All reality is a myth because what is, disappears into the past. The past then is just a memory and there is no reality in that. What is real is just a perception of the now. What is of yesterday and tomorrow is but an illusion. Therefore when you confront reality you realise that it is but an illusion. Live in Him and do not give into those thoughts that try to seduce you to succumb to lust and affections of the flesh. In the Spirit you can rule and reign now.

ONE IN HIM

The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want. He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul. How lovely are the words that keep me in the centre of His will. He gives me words that delight my heart. I am His and He is mine and His banner over me is love. I love Him and He loves me and we both are one together. I walk with Him and He walks with me. What a fellowship, what a union no man can separate. Human relationships go up and down. However God never changes and He is always available. He is holy and righteous and He never moves or changes His position. When you are in God you too are stable and steady as a rock. He is the Rock of ages, the bright and morning star. How good it is to know Him and be united with Him. I love the Lord and He loves me. I will seek His face daily and His righteousness is mine.

REST IN HIM

Remember the days gone past and how the Lord blessed you and protected you from harm and danger. Today is the day the Lord has made, rejoice and be glad in it. He is your Keeper and your friend. He is the lily of the valley the bright and morning star. In Him you have everything you need to lead a abundant life. In Him all things will come to pass. Trust Him with all your needs. He is your strength and fortress and in Him you have a hiding place. Many do not want change for they are secure in what they know. You want to grow and expand and therefore cannot rest till you see the best. God enables you to dig deep into the recesses of your mind and tap into the deep things of God. God is resident in you therefore you can access Him at anytime. He is your rock and your salvation and in Him you have a refuge that no man can disturb. Come to Him when you are weary and find rest for your soul. All the attacks from the evil one cannot touch you for He is your Protector.

RULE FROM ABOVE

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord and seeks His face daily. He is a man who knows God and is a friend of God. Such a man will not fear man because the fear of God controls him. Men of old walked with God and looked to God to lead them and guide them. The Holy Spirit is your guide and Master. He indwells you and keeps you in the straight and narrow way. Treat each day as a new day in the Lord and look for miracles. When you look for miracles then miracles will come your way. A miraculous lifestyle is one when you can expect God to infiltrate your world. This world does not know the power of God’s Kingdom. His Kingdom is not of this world. When you operate from heaven then heaven becomes your throne and earth becomes your footstool. This is how Jesus reigns and rules and occupies. The devil does not have a place in the Kingdom of God. He is earth bound and therefore does not have the same power as a heaven bound Christian. He would like to beguile the children of God by blinding them to the fact that God is alive. He would like to make God dead so that he can carry out his works of lies, death and destruction. Cancel those works of darkness in Jesus Name. Come to the throne of God and reign today in righteousness and live.

YOU WILL SEE WHAT YOU BELIEVE

There is power in the Name of Jesus. As you call on His Name for your needs then He sends His spirits to make the way. This is how you operate in the spirit to bring to pass in the flesh what is sown in the spirit. You cannot make it happen. All you can do is pray and believe. Your faith goes into action mode. What is visioned becomes real. What is unseen becomes seen. God spoke His word and the word became flesh. The spoken word became the fleshly word. All form happens in this way. You have a dream and the dream then takes on a life and transforms you and materialises what is dreamt. In this way you operate the way God operates, in spirit. There is no difference in the spirit between the formless and the form. All are one because they come from the same source. God is the source of all things so when you connect with God then you connect with all things of God. The sinner and the saint are both from God. The difference is only in the state. The sinner is in his sinful state while the saint is in his saintly state through the blood of Jesus. As a saint you have direct access to His throne of grace and can ask for anything in Jesus Name. All you need to do is believe you have what you have asked for. The blind man saw when he believed Jesus word and so also the dumb and the deaf. Today it is the same way. When you believe you will see what you believe.

GOD'S VISION

Your mind is the vehicle through which God speaks to you. Therefore clear your mind and make space for him. As you wait in silence He will sow His thoughts into you. These are thoughts which you know are from another source as they switch a light bulb in you. This is the way you know that it is God. Watch for those spontaneous thoughts. Then write them down so that you can then test them against scripture and other ways of testing it including looking for evidence of it in manifestation. When you have asked look for signs to conform as Gideon did with his wool. God loves this for you are putting your faith into action. If it is of God then He will confirm His word with signs. If it is not then it will just fade away. Let your vision take form. This means that there will be evidence for these in responses from others as well as in your inner conviction of the same. It will so possess you that nothing else will matter. God’s vision always possesses because it is a calling from God. This calling is backed by His power. You need power to exercise vision. It becomes your mission and then the dream is realised. There is a process that takes place but as long as you know it is from God then you know that He is with you all the way. In this world you will face opposition to God’s dream. This is good for then your dream will make you strong and able to stand the course. Always keep the vision in front of you and you will never lose sight of it.

MIND POLLUTION

The pollution of your mind is greater then the pollution in the environment. First clean up the pollution within you and you will naturally stop polluting the environment. People are more taken up with issues they can see then the hidden things within them. This is a distraction. Jesus pointed to the pollution of the Pharisees in their hearts while they looked at keeping the law. This is a deception. There is no solution to the internal pollution then the blood of Jesus. The pollution is so thick that many are blind to it. When they see the internal pollution then they will turn in disgust and some kill themselves. This is what it means to see. Most are blind to the internal pollution and see only the behaviour. The behaviour is a sign of the internal state of mind. This is why we need to be transformed by the renewal of our minds. Jesus came with the solution but it is too simple for man to receive. Now that you see it is your responsibility to help others to see. This is the greatest gift you can give another, the free salvation in Jesus. Then they will say I was once blind but now I see. All other ways point to the way but never to the Truth. John the Baptist came as the fore runner to point the way. So also there are many that point to the way not knowing the way themselves but think they do. It is only Jesus who can open the eyes of those born blind. This is what it means to be born again. Your mission is to help others see and be free from the pollution of their souls and their spirits.

TRUST IN THE LORD

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord and not in man. He who trusts in the Lord will be a strong pillar in the hands of the Lord. He will remain steady when everything else is crumbling around him. His mind is stayed on Him who is unmovable. God is for the man who trusts in Him. All His riches are for him. A man who has the God gene is like a man who will never die. He knows what eternal life is all about. He never fears the wind or the storm for He trusts in the God of the wind and the storm. His trust in the Lord will enable Him to welcome all and he is not biased by his beliefs. God accepts all and all are welcome into His household. The Lord is rich in favour for he has the whole world in His hands. He knows what is good for you and therefore you can praise Him in all things. Just stay refreshed in the Lord and let Him guide you. Your health and wealth are in His hands. There is no room for procrastination. It is time to act now. Now is the day of salvation and whoever calls on His Name will be saved.

WELCOME CHANGE

God is able and it is not clans or human allegiances but God allegiance that will finally determine your destiny. Human organisations are littered with calamities because humans tend to be clannish. This is their survival instinct. Those that are outside the clan have a secondary status. In God’s Kingdom all are invited and His Kingdom does not bar anyone. Clans will one day break down because human frailty is such that the flesh will want its own way always. The flesh will not bow to another because it is fired up by hell itself. No matter how holy a man is, his flesh will always rule him. In the Spirit you can subdue the flesh but even then some biases will never die. God saw this and the evidence was so real in the disciples. Only the Holy Spirit could overcome the differences yet there were times when Paul and others did conflict and go their way. This is the journey you have to face when you relate with humans. Loyalty will go so far and then when the pressures increase there will be division and separation. Welcome difference and do not see it as a challenge but a positive to encourage growth. The sinner in the world will test you. Closeted Christianity will never grow. It becomes inward looking and will die. Always be open to change and do not take it personally. Change will keep you young and vibrant. The majority will conform but the majority will choose the easy way. It is only the tough that will keep going when the going gets tough.

LIVING IN THE SPIRIT

Praise the Lord who gives completely of Himself to you. He is a Father and He gives freely to you because you are His son. He loves you and cares for you. Through all your trials and tribulations He is with you just as He was with His Son. This is your God. His presence in you is what makes the difference. In times of comfort your flesh takes over. It is in battle that you will need to depend on the Spirit. Your battles are in your mind. Your ego wants all the attention and will not rest till it has your attention. You are conscious of this and can defeat its longings to be in conflict. The ego desires conflict because it is in conflict that it is recognised. The ego does not like to be silent for silence means death to it. The Spirit loves silence for in silence you hear Him more clearly. This is why Jesus got away from the crowds so that he could pray and be listening to His Father. How good it is to hear His voice and be comforted. Many are the arrows that will come your way. The ego will keep your focus on the past and the future but you must live in the present. This is the only reality but the ego prefers the world of fantasy. How many years of your life have been wasted in fantasy? The ego prefers this world of make belief because this is the way it copes with reality. Cut yourself free from this and live now in the spirit and rejoice in this new day.

His presence in you is the answer to overcoming the flesh

This battle with the flesh is not new and all humanity is involved in this battle. Christ came to set you free from this. The church has lost its way because it has become unconscious like the rest of the world. Revival is the return of Christ consciousness. When you become Christ conscious then you recognise His presence in you. He is in you to enable you to defeat the flesh and the devil. The world conspires with the flesh to defeat the spirit. But the Spirit of Christ in you is greater then he who is in the world. Therefore be in the spirit and see how your enemies will flee. Plead His blood over your whole being and see how your enemies will flee your body and soul. The most high resides within you even when you are not conscious of His presence. His presence within you is real. The flesh however wants to be in control. When you are desperate for Him then it is that the flesh will let go. Like the alcoholic, the flesh refuses to let go till you reach rock bottom. At rock bottom is the state of total surrender. You cannot do it alone. This is why Jesus sent His own Spirit to help you. In your interactions with others your flesh will be stirred up. See these as opportunities to operate in the spirit which is death to the flesh. A free spirit is open to many kinds of spirits in the world. The Holy Spirit however will not entertain other spirits. This is the difference between the new agers and Christians. Therefore discern which spirit you are following. In these last days many are desperate for meaning and life but follow the broad way of destruction and not the narrow way of Christ. A free spirit is not bound in any way and therefore is open to all kinds of other spirits and is deluded into believing the false. The chosen will see and believe.

DISCERNING THE WORKS OF THE FLESH

Open your eyes and see the glory of the Lord. Now you know the conflict that most people are blind to. They walk in the flesh and they fight in the flesh. You have been freed from this conflict for now you can see the flesh for what it is and fight it in your spirit. This is a walk which is what the Bible calls a walk in the spirit. In this walk you can discern right from wrong. You no longer defend the flesh but die to it. Each opportunity you see enables you to die to those old ways of thinking and doing. You have come to the place of spiritual warfare where you fight the flesh with spiritual weapons and not earthly weapons. You recognise that you are in a spiritual battle. The Lord has allowed you to travel this long journey so that you would learn how wicked the flesh is. Jesus came to save you from your flesh life. The flesh life always seeks to satisfy its own desires. This is why you can’t walk in the flesh and the spirit. In the spirit you have victory over the flesh. The more you walk in the spirit the less you will desire the things of the flesh. God is at work in you by His Spirit who lives in you. All the fears of the flesh melt away as you walk in the spirit. This is your spiritual home. In Him you have everything you need to fight this battle of the flesh. Be filled in the spirit today and live.

THE TRUTH OPENS BLIND EYES

For the Lord is good and His loving kindness covers you. The Holy Spirit is released in you to think and talk through you. When you are in the Spirit then he takes over your mind and instructs you. He sows His thoughts into you. You become aware of your own thoughts and are able to differentiate them from His thoughts. You begin then to walk in His ways according to His thoughts. You are at peace now because you are walking in His will. This is a faith walk. Time and space do not matter any more because you are in His will. All you have is His and no one can take it away from you without His consent. You have committed all to Him and in His hands they will be. This is bliss and now you can enjoy His pleasures forevermore. He is love and in Him all are included, the saint and the sinner. Remember sin has infiltrated every corner of society and no one is free from its influence. However to choose to sin is given to man. He has the free will to choose. When men are blinded by Satan’s lies then they will fight for what they think is right. What is right may not be the truth. It is only right in the sight of the beholder who is blind. When his eyes are opened to see the truth then the scales will fall off and conversion will occur. This world blinds the people from the truth. Therefore you who know the truth need to walk according to the truth and shine His light.

BE PREPARED

God is at work in His church. He moves by His Spirit. Yes, just as when Jesus walked on earth so also God moves through you. Jesus could not work His works where there was little faith. Miracles occurred where there was faith. So also when the church is ready, God will move into the midst and bring healing. It is a partnership between God and man. As man moves towards God then God moves toward man. Therefore prepare your heart daily so that God can move and work through you. Your responsibility is to prepare the way and God will move at the right time. Remain in faith daily and you will receive your miracle. The flesh will work against you till it dies a physical death. Your spirit will live on to eternity. Your soul will be saved. What you have done in the flesh for Jesus sake will bring you rewards. Therefore be zealous in your work and serve the Lord with all your heart.

THE FLESH LIFE

The flesh will not die easily. It is only the constant awareness of His presence in you that can defeat the flesh. The flesh demands attention and it will try and get it in devious and varied ways. The flesh likes the darkness because it thrives in darkness and dark works. It is so bent that it cannot rejoice in good. It is bent towards sin and sinful ways. What you see in this world are the works of the flesh and of the devil. This is what God saw and He was moved to do something about it. He sent His Son as a sacrifice for sin. Satan now had lost his legal right because the God of justice had paid the price. Satan now has only right where he is allowed entrance. He will try and convince you otherwise but his end is near. Your battles with your flesh are over because you have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. He who knows the end from the beginning has purchased your soul and now you are free from the flesh and its longings. Hallelujah.

TRUTH

God is at work in you and the best place to be is to rest in is arms. He orders the times and the seasons and knows what is best for you. The devil may delay things but he does not have the last word. Only God has the last word. This is why you need to pray that all hindrances to His promises are unblocked. People need to persist in prayer till what they desire is received and achieved. God blesses and there is no doubt about this. His word is given so that you can receive His word in reality. What is in the word becomes flesh when you action it by faith. This is what happens in the spiritual dimension. You enter into the spirit dimension and receive His now word. Then you exercise faith in seeing the word being fulfilled. The word is fulfilled when the substance of it is seen. When you believe for a child then receive His word and the result is seen in a fruitful womb. Spiritual truth is translated into physical truth. His word became flesh and dwelt among men. People in the world have grasped this truth. This is why there is a burgeoning of spirituality at the present time. They all contain the truth but is not the truth. This is how the devil tricks people that they are alright but really they are not alright. Only the truth will set you free. All other ways will result in bondage.

HIS PRESENCE

God’s presence is what makes the difference. He is where you are because He resides in you. Therefore you can expect Him to see through you and speak through you. His conscious presence will bring Him into your conversation and bless others. It is like praying for others. Practicing the presence of God is the closest intercourse you can have with Him. It is like prayer as you practice His presence. He is everywhere but people are not aware of His presence. It is the awareness that results in the healing. Many talk about His presence but are not connected with it. When you become aware then you begin to see and feel and manifest His presence. This may come out as joy and laughter. Laughter is the release of emotion that has been pent up by your defences. Your defences keep your feelings under control. However there are emotions that need to be released otherwise they could damage your soul. Making people aware of His presence is what will bring healing. His healing presence go with you today as you minister to wounded hearts.

SENIOR PARTNER

The Holy Spirit is my senior partner. He directs my thoughts and feelings and actions. He is the author of all things pertaining to me and so I have confidence in what I do and think. He encourages me and exhorts me. He is my healer and restorer of my soul. My soul is in His hands and I am secure in Him. He is the Spirit of Jesus and He lives in me. I will never be alone because He will never leave me or forsake me. My life is hid in His hands. My mission is to make Him known so that others too may enjoy His presence in them. When I have tasted a good thing I want to share it with others. If I keep it to myself then I am being selfish because Jesus died for the whole world. His mission is my mission. He will direct me in His mission. He will order all things in my life and all I need to do is to be submitted to Him. Now I can bear all things because He is with me. He will take my pain and burden. I will do as He commands because I live to serve Him now. All these days I have lived to satisfy my selfish desires. Now I live to satisfy Him. I am His hands and feet, eyes and ears and tongue. I will praise Him always and live in His court day and night. Many will come and praise Him too and we will build a sanctuary for His presence. In His presence is joy everlasting. Praise be to the Lord.

PRIDE OF MAN

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord and not in His own wisdom. The Lord’s ways are higher then the ways of man. The man who trusts in the Lord need not fear anything because the Lord is his help. God has many ways of redeeming His own. God moves in mysterious ways and only He knows the end from the beginning. So trust in Him and not in your own wisdom which is earthly and will decay. The Lord is a strong tower and in Him you have a security that cannot be shaken. The Spirit will write through you and speak through you. It is humbling for a man not to trust in his own strength. It goes against the flesh which wants to pride itself and take credit for everything. Kill this tendency in you and you will be free to be. No more guided by the whims of man but only by the will of God. This is the way to live an abundant life in the Lord. Totally free in Him and I breathe and act His will. His desires become my desires and in Him I am fulfilled.

TWO MINDS

God in Christ Jesus is redeeming the world one by one. His message is going out and His ways are different from mans. He is God and He knows what is the best way. He sent Jesus as the paschal lamb to die for the sins of the world. Now a way has been made and all who call on His Name will be saved. Salvation is free. Man’s way is to work for his salvation. God knew that man would be defeated in this process for the sin of man will not allow him to be set free from its demands. God found a new way through sacrifice. God took it upon Himself to be the Lamb that sacrificed His life for man’s sin. In this way man was set free from the torment of sin to be free to be. Now a way has been made for you to choose freely which way you will walk in, according to the flesh or according to the Spirit. The fleshly mind is still in you but it is being transformed by the new mind in Christ. The fleshly mind can be transformed but not the flesh. This is the renewing work of the Spirit. As you walk in the Spirit more will be revealed to you till you choose wholely to walk in the Spirit. The spirit mind is peace and love and in Him there is no division. It is the divided mind that seeks its own way rather then the Christ way.

HIS BLOOD AND HIS LOVE

The Lord knows everything and therefore it is best to entrust all things to Him. This is the time to just rest in the Lord. He has given you all things to enjoy and therefore enjoy them. Your life is hid in Christ. He is your all in all and there is no other. Rest in Him. He is the Alpha and Omega of your faith. He is the great I AM. In Him you have all you need for love and significance. In Him you are established forever. He is your sure foundation. He gives you all you need when you need it. What more can you ask for? He has called you by name and in His Name you have access to His abundance. His abundance lives in you. The Holy Spirit is the giver of life and that eternal. His eternal life operates in you to bring life to all your being. In Him alone do you have life. Therefore cherish each moment and do not give into your fleshly urges. They will always be there but they will never satisfy you. You have been bought with a price, the blood of Jesus. Glory in His blood and in His love. These are 2 weapons you have to defeat Satan and to win the hearts of men. His love shed abroad in our hearts is the only thing that will satisfy. He came and he poured His love into man so that he could be delivered from his pain of separation from God.

HOLY SPIRIT POWER

The power on high is available to you because Jesus has gone to the Father. You are His representative on earth now to represent His love and grace. His power flows through you as He sanctifies you by His Spirit who lives in you. This is the essence of grace in that He supplies all His ability to overcome what you can’t in your own strength. God wants you to use the talents He has given you and He supplies more when you require more then what you have. His supplies are unlimited. Yet He wants you to be dependent on His power. His power through you enables you to live a supernatural life. You don’t operate in your own strength now but in His. When you sacrifice all to Him then He releases His resources to you. These are resources that will sustain you when you need it. Material resources help but cannot sustain you when the pressure is high to give in to the world, flesh and devil. The spiritual resources you require to fight every demonic onslaught will be available to you. This is why you don’t fight flesh and blood but spiritual powers in high places. His weapons are required to slay the enemy of your soul. So fight the good fight in His strength and prevail

LOVE

Love is the most powerful weapon for spiritual warfare. Satan does not love because all he knows is fear and he imputes fear and controls through fear. Love is the most powerful antidote for fear. Fear causes violence for violence is a defence against fear. Fear drives violence for fear loses control and therefore violence ensues. Underlying all violence is a spirit of fear. Fear of loss of control is the basis for violence. Fear of being attacked and losing face results in violence. Criminals in prison are tormented by fear. This torment makes them hard and ruthless for they are victims of their own fear. In prison they feel safe from their own fears. Outside they will be surrounded by fear of retribution. Love heals, comforts, respects and does not control. Therefore love is the most powerful weapon to overcome fear. Whenever fear attacks you remember to energise the spirit of love. Love does not focus on the negatives but the positive. The positive power of love is the healing force to all the problems in human relationships. This love will lay down its life for another just as Jesus did. The Cross symbolises love for it is the ultimate sacrifice. Jesus died that I may receive His love that heals my heart of fear and fills me with His peace.

EGO

To be free in the spirit is to be free from the ego. The ego is that part of you that wants to be in control and will fight the spirit. The spirit is consciousness that is connected to God and communes with God. The ego is earth bound and succumbs to the sins of the flesh. The devil operates through your ego. Your flesh and the devil are your main enemies to a closer walk with God. A lot of your energy is expended in defending your ego. God says die to your ego for in this is your salvation. All your systems are affected by your ego. The ego is slave to the drives of the flesh which seeks to glorify self. The ego is unconscious and therefore operates on rote. It is captive to its own patterns of thinking and feeling. It goes round in circles because it likes conflicts and attracts conflicts. You are always battling something and this is your ego. It does not like peace and rest because it thrives on negativity. This world is filled with negativity and darkness because the god of the world controls it. God is above this world and sees the captive state of mankind and has provided a way of escape. See how freely you operate when you are free of your ego. Learn to walk in the spirit and see yourself delivered from your egoic state.

DEMONS

Demons are real and affect people and animals and things. They find haven in places of darkness. They need a place to hide and they feed on sin. Sin is a opening for them to abide. Darkness in a place is a sure sign of demonic activity. They thrive in darkness because they are of the darkness. They hate the light for they are blinded by the light. Therefore avoid places where darkness resides. These are places in the world where there is hidden activity and the rebellious spirit is in control. People who venture into these places will be affected by the darkness. Walk in the light as He is in the light. You work with people who are affected by darkness. Some are controlled by demonic entities but they are not aware of it. When demons see the Cross they will manifest the darkness in them. People of the darkness will feel uncomfortable in your presence. The demons in them will feel agitated. They will manifest themselves when provoked. The light in you will dispel the darkness. Don’t be fooled by fronts. The root is bad and the fruit will manifest what is in the root. This is why marriages break down because the deceptive front is exposed. This is why marriages are being attacked for they will show the true qualities of the person. A marriage demands commitment. A generation that shuns commitment will shun marriage.

HEART OF FLESH

The heart of flesh is what man needs to live an abundant life. The heart of stone has developed because of fear. The heart of stone can never see the needs of others. It is blinded by the defences of a life that has grown to protect itself. The heart of flesh relies on God. Only a heart that has received the light can have a heart of flesh. A heart of flesh is alive and vibrant. It does not seek its own but looks out for others. It is alive and therefore can sense everything around it. A heart of stone is dead to what is around it because the stony heart hides from everything around it. A heart of flesh will rest in God’s providence and not rely on man’s providence. The Spirit of God dwells in the heart of flesh. What man needs is a heart transplant. This is possible in Jesus Name. He transforms you from an inward focussed person to one who is outward bound and looking for opportunities to serve. Giving becomes a way of life and there is nothing too difficult. Such a person is held by love and knows no other language then the language of love. Love will overcome every barrier and sin and evil force. Jesus showed the way and He will work through you to open the way for redemption.

SPIRIT FILLED LIFE

When the Holy Spirit fills you then He changes your script to a new script, His script. Your script developed over the ages through life experiences slowly dissolves to be replaced by His script. This script is His word that washes and cleanses you. The old script just bound you to a way of thinking and feeling that resulted in death. The new script brings life and that abundant. You revel in the new life for it is full of life giving words and energy. This new energy penetrates into the core of your being and revitalises every cell in your body. When the Lord calls, He provides. God never calls you to do something without providing the means to do it. God works through His Spirit and therefore He who owns a thousand hills can do what only He can do. When Jesus walked on earth He depended on His Father to provide for His needs. There was more then enough because He depended on spiritual forces. The angels ministered to Him. The Holy Spirit led Him to the Cross. He healed all who came to him through the power of the Spirit. This is the way you will live as well. No more dependent on man but on God. A spirit filled life lives and moves in the spirit.

ETERNAL SPIRIT

The youth of a man continues as he is led by the Spirit. The word of God says that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up on wings like eagles. They will not faint but their youth will be renewed. In the eternal Spirit all things become new. They will run and not be weary. Because the Spirit is eternal it has the power of eternity. All diseases and sickness of the soul and body will melt away. The Spirit will renew, refresh and transform you. As His word takes deep root within you, you will become like a pillar of gold, strong and steady. You won’t bend like a reed in times of trouble. All your sorrows will be consumed by the Cross. His Cross will cancel out everything negative and evil. His blood will wash away all sin and cleanse you. Only the power of the blood can cleanse, heal and deliver. Come Holy Spirit and apply this truth to the inner parts of my being.

BLINDNESS

Precious are the times when you can sit and talk with people and see their needs and pray for them. Jesus is a silent witness in all your conversations. You are there as His mouth piece. Your own needs are secondary to theirs. He meets all your needs. When you feel assaulted then you know He absorbs it. You don’t have to carry the load for He carries it for you. All your burdens are lifted at Calvary and you are free. This is the way to live, freely. You receive freely and now you can give freely. This is the way of the Spirit. There are no dead lines to meet. You are on His mission and not your mission. All these years you have worked for yourself. Now you work for Him. You are not bothered about your career or achievements. All you want to be and do is to serve others through Him. He appoints and does not disappoint. Your salvation is free but your sanctification is costly. The cost is to your flesh that has to die daily to its selfish needs. Selfishness drives the world. This is the state of unconsciousness. Ever since man left the Garden of Eden he became unconscious and therefore blind to the spirit world and was lost in darkness. Now your eyes are open and you can see the end and it is so good.

FREE

Freedom in the Spirit is like free air to breathe. We breathe freely because air is free. So also the Spirit is free but at a price, the death of Jesus. He rose and ascended to the Father so that I can breathe freely. Without His Spirit I am as a dead as a corpse. My fate is sealed in Him. I am now living a life for eternity in Him. It is His Spirit that enables me to breathe. Nothing can stop me from experiencing the love of Jesus. His love enables me to love others. Only through the Spirit can I receive anything. He enables me to do what He has promised to do. This is the life of liberty. Yet men reject this simple message because it is too simple. They do not realise that the flesh always wants to take credit. Jesus takes all the credit. Only pride can stop a man from receiving of His fullness. In Him I am full and free because He has purchased with His blood and I am free. The freedom I have in Him costs Him His life. I owe all to Him and I will be eternally grateful for His sacrifice.

EVIL

The flesh is strong but the Spirit is stronger. Every time I defeat the flesh through the Spirit I feel stronger. This is evidence that in the flesh I can do no good thing. The flesh will always try to please the ego by giving into its fleshy desires. The fleshly desires keep man blind to his deeper needs. He is unconscious of his fallen state and therefore thinks that all this is o.k. When his eyes are opened to see his fallen state then he repents and turns from his wicked ways. This is what happens when a man is delivered from his deluded self. Pharaoh was so full of himself that he proclaimed himself god. This is what happens when power becomes a demon that controls you and you get mad with power. You think that you are indestructible and use others for your own ends. You destroy yourself in this process. The Spirit can deliver you if you submit to Him. He will give you the grace to see your fault and to set you free. This is the gospel of salvation which is free for all but few choose to follow. Man prefers to keep to his rules and regulations and deceive himself that he is safe. No man is safe in his own castle because others will be waiting to see him fall. This is the evil in man that does not wish for man to prosper but to fall. This is what news is and this is what the populace thrives on. The more negativity the better one feels, as it is comparison of who is less evil then the other rather then who is better then the other. Evil can only compare with itself for it does not understand good. Lord deliver us from this evil age and have mercy on the poor.

BE BORN AGAIN

The Lord is overall. He is available to all but most are unconscious of His presence. The world is blind to the workings of God. This is the way the world has been deceived. The world is held captive by the great deceiver of our souls, the devil. He fools everyone by distracting them by the things they can see. The age of media is the primary way of his deceptive tactics. Don’t fall for it as all that glitters is not gold. The flesh is easily enticed but at the end of the rainbow is an empty promise. God seeks for those who thirst after righteousness. He is merciful but the devil will accuse you and seek judgement. Jesus chose to lay down His life for me rather then to judge me. It is my own heart that judges me. He never condemns me for He has paid for my sins, past, present and future. So who will I give my life to? Only Jesus deserves all honour and praise and glory. There is no other way for His way is the best way. No other leader has laid his life down for his followers. They have all sought to lead them down a road that appears good but at the end is death. Jesus gives eternal life and this life is for now. Don’t get caught up by issues but seek to give life and the rest will take care of itself. Issues become important only when the real issue is not faced. Avoid the main issue and secondary issues will take centre stage. Be born again and see how your life takes a different direction as His Spirit comes and transforms you from a destiny of death to life.

ONE WAY

Many are the ways of man but God has only one way. This is the way of His Son, Jesus. He proclaimed the way when He said, I am the way. The way to God is through Him. He made the way when there was no way. He is the righteousness of God in flesh. He is our righteousness and in Him we are free from all sin. What a place to be. By His grace and mercy you have been saved from destruction. God knew you even before you were conceived. How could this be? Because He is God and He knew what He is doing. He knows where and when and how. He knows from the beginning of time till the end. He knows everything about everything. You think you know but it is nothing compared to what He knows. All you can do is discover what He knows. You take the glory when you discover but God gets all the glory because He is the source. Sin has turned the heart of man away from God. Yet God is merciful and He will turn the hearts of the rebellious to worship Him. What a great God we serve. To Him be all the glory and praise forever and ever amen.

THE CROSS

God came into the world because sin had come into the world and tarnished all that He had created. The sin of the world is rebellion against God. God had established the garden of harmony but sin brought in disharmony. Since then man has had to fight against negativity all his life. Jesus came to be the sacrifice that would set man free from the power of sin. Now through His Cross you have liberty to choose. Sin has no more dominion over you. You have been saved through the blood of the Cross. This is the message of salvation that all need to hear and be saved. This is the message that needs to be broadcast to all and sundry that all maybe saved. However many hear and do not respond to the Cross. The religious did not recognise Him and now the world does not recognise Him. He came as a servant and those who were poor recognised Him. Today those who hunger and thirst after righteousness will find rest for their souls in Him. This world as it is will come to an end. You have to diminish so that He can increase. You cannot serve God and mammon. The more sold out you are for Him the more brightly your light will shine.

PREPARE FOR HIS RETURN

The Lord works through His Spirit. Man works through his mind. To know the mind of God means that you will have to access Him through your spirit. It is spirit to Spirit communication that results in revelations to your mind. The mind cannot understand God for it is carnal. God operates in all realms but by His Spirit. It is by His Spirit that He performs all His works. Without His Spirit He can’t do anything. His Spirit dwells in you and enables you to do what He expects you to do. God is at work in you through His Spirit. Most of the time you are unaware of His works. To be aware you need to be conscious of His Spirit. When you become conscious then you will receive revelations of His workings. His work is to prepare you for His return. He is coming soon and all who are chosen will respond to His calling. Prepare your heart and soul for His return. Now is the time to walk in the Spirit and to be constantly alert to His words. He will make you aware of His presence and speak words of comfort to you. His warnings are to prepare you and not to distress you. The day of the Lord’s return will happen suddenly so be prepared. Man will have many theories and speculations. Never be distracted by them. Fix your eyes on Jesus and you will be saved.

MULTIPLE CHANNELS

Inspire and be inspired. This is the way of the Spirit. Inspiration comes from breathing in the Spirit. The Spirit is a person and He can feel and communicate through His 5 senses to your 5 senses. Therefore when you are open to Him you will sense Him through your senses. In this way you will know. You are not just governed by your thoughts but you also intuit through your senses. This is to be informed through multiple channels. You are not restricted to one sense. When all your senses are working in harmony then you will get confirmation from each. Otherwise you will only sense through one channel and think you are right. Learn to sense through many channels. In this way you always be on top. Truth is not limited to a narrow channel. It is able to see from many angles and then provide a solution. When you are limited to one channel then you only see what you are used to seeing and this becomes truth to you. The danger in this is that you limit your potential. God works through multiple means. Therefore be open today to multiple channels and be enlarged.

TOTAL SURRENDER

What a wonderful place to be in total surrender. Total surrender means 100% surrender. There is no place for anything but total submission to Christ. This is the only way to know Him. The flesh will want to compromise and tolerate but the Spirit demands total surrender. This is a radical position which will attract opposition. Jesus was killed for His position as God in flesh. The Jews called this blasphemy. They did not know what they were doing when they screamed crucify Him. Their guilt was screaming at them and all they could do was to kill Him. By killing Him they thought they could put an end to Christ. How wrong they were. Only death can produce resurrection power. The flesh has to be crucified. There is no other way. No compromise. You have to live what you believe even if you are the only one. Many fail to receive because they fail to go all the way. This is the only way to know Him. To know Him is to love Him. To love Him is to experience His resurrection power today. Come Holy Spirit and help me to surrender and experience your resurrection power.

SELF TALK OR GOD TALK

Self talk or God talk, you choose. Self talk comes from the ego which is preoccupied with the past or the future. God talk comes from the Spirit which is comforting, loving, compassionate and free. It is not controlling or condemning. Self talk is concerned about the self. God talk is concerned about others and God’s heart. The Bible is full of God talk. When you meditate on His Word then your self talk becomes God talk. You will begin to think like His thoughts because His thoughts are His words. You can use God’s Word as a standard to see if your thoughts measure up to it. If you find that they don’t, then it is your responsibility to crucify them. A lot of stress and distress is caused by self talk. Underneath all the self talk is the demon of fear. Fear is the opposite of love. There is no fear in love. Perfect loves casts out all fear. Therefore look for fear and if you sense it then you know that the root is evil. Love always thinks and looks out for the other. Jesus had no fear because He was assured of His Father’s love always. You are assured of the Father’s love always. Don’t get upset over silly mistakes of the flesh that is in a hurry to do things. Step back and take your time. There is no bus to catch for He is in control of all things

WALK IN THE SPIRIT

The power of the gospel is the power to save and to set the captive free. When the good news is received by faith it has the power to do a work in you that is eternal. Many fail to walk in it, for it is a process that takes a life time of communion and cleansing. The old man in you has to be reckoned dead daily otherwise he will continue to pollute your mind with its desires and longings. These desires are opposed to the Spirit. The Holy Spirit cannot do his work in you unless the old man is reckoned dead. It is by faith that you reckon him dead. It is by faith you reckon that the Holy Spirit is renewing you. As you access His strength you become renewed. It is His strength in you that enables you to reach for the lost. The lost are dying and death is the end point. For a Christian death is a translation into eternal life. The path you choose will enable you to walk to death or to life. Choose life today for it is eternal. The eternal life of the Spirit in you will enable you to defeat all your enemies.

BELIEF

Belief is the core of ones being. One cannot exist without believing in something. All our values are based on our beliefs. Belief is the essence of life. Once you know what you believe in, it will motivate every thought and action. Your desires are essentially your beliefs in action. Your beliefs cannot be stagnant. They will be acted on and expressed in some way. This expression gives you meaning and purpose. It is the expression of your belief that results in how you conduct your daily life. If you have no hope then this is expressed in depressed ways. If you believe that you are a superman then you will behave in that way. Some are unaware of what motivates them but underlying all expression of behaviour is a deep belief system. This is the essence of your spiritual being. You may have been taught certain religious traditions but ultimately they mean nothing unless they are part of your belief. Religious practices can take place without belief. These practices are done to satisfy some system you belong to like the church. It is only when these practices are part of your belief that it has any value. Many go to church but operate in unbelief. Your spirit comes alive when your faith becomes expressed in action.

GIVE FREELY

Praise God that he is able to help those who are His. He watches over them and cares for them. He is always there for them. He is the One who promises to help them when everyone else leaves them. God is able and He is able to do much more then you can think or imagine. He is above all and full of love. He is a generous God. He gives freely because He lacks nothing. He gave His only begotten Son. There is no limit to how much He can give. He gives freely to all who ask Him. He is the giver of life. When the water flows freely then more will be supplied to flow through you. You hold back only in fear. You will lack nothing because God lives in you. He is full of abundance so when you give then you will be blessed. There is so much joy in giving. Giving is a way of life. When you bless others then they will want to bless you. Love always wins. There is no lack in love.

SAVED

Today is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. Today the Lord calls those who are His to rejoice and be glad for your names are written in heaven. God has made a way where no way existed. God has given man hope of eternal life. He died for the world but the world rejected Him. Each generation is given a choice to choose and each generation will be held accountable. There is no other way. Nothing matters more then your eternal destiny. This life is short when compared with eternity. Only those who call on the Name of the Lord will be saved. It is urgent now to spread the word. The King is coming soon. Prepare the way. Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life. Now go and catch them in the Name of Jesus. In His Name all will be saved who call on Him.

TRUST THE LORD AT ALL TIMES

Hope in the Lord and He will refresh you. The flesh and the devil will try to upset and confuse you. He is your strength and you will only find a way of escape in Him. The father of lies will try and deceive you but you must trust the Lord at all times. His favour is upon you. You will do what the Lord plans for you each day. You don’t live to please people but to please the Lord. The days are such that people rather please each other then the Lord. People seek other gods to worship then the Lord of hosts. Therefore be strong in times like these when you must follow your heart and not be distracted by what is socially and politically correct. You have been called in times like this to stand and not to bend like a weed. God is looking for a people who will be radical for His cause. Lord help me to stand in times like these. You are my only hope and in you I trust daily for manna to feed my soul.

POPULATING HEAVEN

Powerful forces are at work to cause you to fall. The enemy is not happy when you decide to confront him in the Name of Jesus. He hates Jesus for He made a display of him at Calvary. What the enemy thought was his victory turned out to be his damnation. Satan lost and his head was stepped on and his defeat set forth his fury against all creation. He will continue his work to steal, kill and destroy till he is finished completely. His works of darkness will be exposed and nothing can compare to his end in hell. This is why you can expect opposition at every front when you move forward in populating heaven. Souls are lingering between hell and heaven. You have the responsibility to save them from the fiery grave of hell. Eternity is there for you to rest. Now is the time to work while it is still light. Come Holy Spirit and fire me up for heaven so that I can rescue many from the fiery grave of hell. Lord change me so that I will never regress to the works of the flesh. Satan and my flesh are against me. You only are for me and in you I have perfect rest.

WRECKED FOR JESUS

I am wrecked for Jesus. This is the theme of my life. The flesh is the only thing that stands between you and your walk with the Lord. The flesh needs to be wrecked as it stands in the way to achieve intimacy with God. The flesh stands in opposition to God and consorts with the devil to bring you down. He steals kills and destroys. This is his mission. Jesus came to bring life and that abundantly. So why cooperate with the flesh and the devil. In the power of the Holy Spirit you have dominion over them. Therefore stand on the day of trial and do not give into the flesh. The flesh is doomed for death while the spirit is for eternal life. Why waste your energies in defending the flesh. This is why Paul said I am undone. I am the worst sinner. He came to the place of realisation that in him dwelt no good thing. All he had was by the grace of God. When you come to the place of seeing this then you will have power with God. His power will flow freely through you. He will assault the devil and his works. Life will become a battle to thrash the devil and empty hell and populate heaven.

CRUCIFY THE FLESH

The flesh and the Spirit are opposed to each other. When you walk in the flesh then the Spirit is displaced from His position. This is why only complete surrender to Him will do. Surrender is like crucifixion to the flesh. Paul said, I am crucified with Christ. This means he died with Christ. The Cross means death to self. Death to self is the only way to please God. All that is of the flesh is enmity with God. If you want your heart to be like Jesus then die to the flesh. Jesus carried the Cross during His earthly life. His crucifixion was the end of His journey. Your journey is made easy for you are crucified through identification with Him. You now have resurrection power to crucify the flesh. Flesh cannot crucify flesh. Many are able to do a good cover up job. It is like putting a pink ribbon around the neck of a pig. Looks nice but the nature is the same. The true nature manifests itself when challenged. You know your true nature when you are challenged. Then all you need to do is crucify the flesh and respond in the Spirit.

REST

Life is a roller coaster ride and some hang on and make it while others fall off and die. When God is in control then the ride becomes easy as you are in His hands and not in your hands. Resting in Him is a ride worth taking for it brings you to a place of eternal rest. This rest is not like the rest of lying in bed but a rest in times of storm. Sickness and disease is all around and you will be affected by the same. However the Lord is in it with you. He knows your pain and heals you. God embraces all things and all people. Nothing is evil in His presence for all are changed and transformed in His presence. Even Satan can be transformed in His presence but he is banned from His presence. Satan knows his end but he wants to take many with him to eternal damnation just like any loser would do. In His presence you are protected from his assaults because a ring of safety covers you like a balloon. In this balloon you are safe from his assaults and temptations. When you move out of His covering you will face temptation and struggles. All the suffering you face is of your flesh. Therefore deny your flesh its longings and you will find rest.

EMBRACE THE CROSS

Bless the Lord O my soul and all that is within me bless His holy Name. He is above all and He reigns from heaven above. He is the author and Creator of all things. When love enters a life then evil will have to leave. Evil will steal, kill and destroy. Love builds, heals and restores. So ask yourself are you an agent for love or death. Death comes in different forms and is dark and insidious. Love is open and vulnerable. It does not seek its own but the good of the other. Therefore when you see death and destruction seek to heal and restore through love. Love transforms and makes all things new. The Cross is the greatest demonstration of love this world will ever know. Embrace the Cross and you embrace love.

HIDDEN POTENTIAL

Praise God who extends you to expect more because He lives in you. In Him you have all the resources to extend yourself and be His hands and feet. He can do things through you unimaginable because he is the Creator. If only man can see this and believe. Anything is possible to a child of God. His child is like a precious diamond to Him. When you realise, this then nothing in this world is attractive to you any more. All you want is more of Him. He is in you to bless you with more of Him. He is so near that you can touch Him. This closeness is what makes you different to those who worship God from a distance. This is why Jesus had to go to the Father so that He could send His Spirit to indwell you. Now you have all the potential in you of the one who raised the dead, healed the leper and restored sight to the blind. Come and dwell with Him and be amazed.

SHINE YOUR LIGHT

Light of the world you came into darkness and you set the captive free. This light shines eternally and all who see the light will be saved. This light led the 3 wise men to where Jesus was born in Bethlehem. It is this same light that is shining in dark places. Don’t fear darkness for this is when your light will be seen more clearly. The greater the darkness the brighter your light will shine. God made it so that light and darkness should abide together. This is why you will see evil manifest where there is good. Evil cannot stand the light and therefore will be manifest. When compromise and slack reigns, then the darkness and light merge and the difference will not be noticed. People become mesmerised to the greyness around them. Moral values drop and anything goes. This is why your light needs to shine brighter in grey areas. People can only see the light when you shine brightly and then the difference will be noticed. Therefore let the Spirit of God shine brightly today through you. Your light will shine and the darkness will retreat. Where there was turmoil, there will be peace. Where there was strive there will be order. In the Name of Jesus go and be light in a dark and fallen world.

LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Praise God who directs you and helps you to achieve your goals. He is in you directing you through the day and night. He covers you and enfolds you with His arms. You are His and He is yours and together you are one. This is how Jesus felt when He walked on earth. His Father’s presence was with Him all the time. You also feel His presence and rest in His arms. He will bring to pass what is needed when it is needed. This is the way to walk in the Spirit. As you walk He will talk to you and make His plans plain to you. You are not here to achieve anything but be His light in the darkness. You carry His light as you walk along the path and His light shines through you to dispel the darkness. Just as a light brightens the darkened room so you are also called to be light. Imagine how bright the light will get when many join hands and glow. The darkness will be pushed back and captives will be set free. He came as the light of the world and now He has put His light in you so that you too can shine and be the light of the world.

ETERNAL LIFE

Abiding in Him is like resting in Him. In His arms there is no fear but perfect rest. I am in Him and He is in me and we both are one. This is the perfect union of Father and child united in love and eternal in time. This perfect union continues till the end for there is no end in eternity. This is what Christ purchased for each one and only a child who has caught the vision will thirst for souls. Eternity is at the heart of the gospel. Death is defeated and the grave is empty. What more do you need now that you know that eternal life is yours. All the minor irritations of this life shade away as the primacy of the gospel becomes real and now. Life lived in the light of eternity is like a fire that never dies. It just keeps growing and glowing for all to see and be attracted to it and be saved. You have been called to be a light to the gentiles that many may come and be smitten by the light.

FACTS AND TRUTH

The fact is that you are weak and have all these things to contend with in the flesh. The truth is that you are a child of God, a prince, a priest and a over comer. You can believe the facts or the truth in Christ. You are a new creation in Christ. You have been bought with His blood. You are chosen and ordained to be a priest in the household of God. God has appointed you and called you according to His purpose in Christ Jesus. This is what changed the disciples from fisherman to fishers of men. They became world movers by their changed vision of themselves based on the truth revealed to them through Christ. The Holy Spirit came and endowed them with power that they could now move mountains of fear and sickness and turn the world upside down. Here is the basis for the word of God in transforming lives so that when facts appear to be true, the truth comes in and reverses it. Jesus said He is the truth and in Him the facts of your life are changed. In Him all things are possible for He is the truth. All who call on Him will be saved. Today live in the light of the truth rather then the facts and see how sickness and disease will flee in His Name. His truth transforms and does not just change things. He turned water into wine when He spoke it into existence. The facts were changed by the truth of His word. So also lives can be transformed by His abiding word.

THE GLORY OF THE LORD

Let the glory of the Lord shine upon you as the sun arises in the morning. The glory of the sun is amazing to watch. She sweeps the earth and gives light and heat to the earth. All the creation waits for the sun to rise. In the same way as you arise in the glory of the Lord you are surrounded by light and warmth of the Spirit. The Spirit of God enables you to rise. He encourages you and feels through you. He knows your deepest need and He satisfies like no other. Many are the distractions that take you away from Him but He always waits for you. Turn your eyes to Him and never give into the urges of the flesh. It is a waste of time and energy to spend your time cherishing those pleasures which once enthralled you. You realise now that they were sent to keep you from the Spirit. The Spirit gives life and health. Therefore spend time in Him and with Him and be empowered.

TOTAL SURRENDER

Blessings follow those who persist in walking with the Lord. He will not withhold His blessings as He did to Israel when they refused to follow Him. He has purchased you with a price and now you belong to Him. He holds you and not the other way round. You have surrendered your life to Him and now you can be rest assured that He will keep you who has called you. He will work through you and position you for victory. Position is everything to achieving the utmost. He is in you and working through you. The devil has no say in the matter because he has been ejected by His strong hand. The devil may insinuate and trouble you with fantasies and imaginings but you must not listen to him. He is a waste of time. The pleasures of the flesh will not satisfy for they only bind you to a way of thinking and doing that kills. He destroys and does not build. Therefore give 100% to Him and you will experience 100% joy and freedom.

THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS

Thoughts and feelings are more powerful then words. They work at a subconscious level and influence your behaviour and that of others. You are influenced by the thoughts and feelings of others. Enter a room where there is positive energy and you realise that the place is filled with positive thoughts and feelings. Enter another place where there is a negative atmosphere and you will be affected by it. Therefore make sure that you keep your own space filled with positive thoughts and feelings. This is easier said then done because the evil one wants to fill you with negative thoughts and feelings. No amount of words can change the atmosphere because what you say you must believe in. If the words are just words for the sake of saying the right thing then it won’t last or have the desired effect. This is why silence is better then noise. Genuine communication involves both words and feeling. Open and direct communication has the effect of cleansing the atmosphere. This is why Jesus spoke in parables to explain spiritual truths. In this way even the children could understand and believe.

MESSAGE OF HOPE

Lord I love you and it is my purpose to serve you all the days of my life. I know the devil is not pleased but I will persist till I die in the way. You give me the strength and the ability to persevere and not relent. You are the Saviour of my soul and in you I am content to be. Many are the pressures that come against me but you are my light and my fortress. In you I am safe and secure and in you I am complete. I fill myself with your word and your word replaces my thoughts. In you I have all things I need for leading a overcoming life. In you alone am I victorious and in you I will overcome all things that face me. You have led me all the days of my life and in you I find repose and rest. Healing and health are mine because you the Healer lives in me. There is nothing more that I can do because you complete me. This is the greatest message that the world needs to know, that Christ in me is the hope of glory. Now I can go into all the world with this message of hope and see captives freed from their torment.

THE WAY

Persist in the way and you will find mountains of goodwill coming your way. The way of Christ is the only way that will last for it is for eternity. All other ways have a life span but is not eternal. Look for opportunities to proclaim His way which is higher then all other ways. His will is that all may come into His inheritance. You are selfish if you hold on to what you know is for all and refuse to share His message of life to all. He is present with you at all times and in Him you have His presence with you to guide you and help you. He is your Helper and with Him by your side you will never have to fear anything. He is in you and with you. What more can you ask for then this. It is like a never losing option. He has made it possible and you have nothing to lose by proclaiming this message of life. Many stand for what is base and evil and yet few are prepared to stand for what is right. This is how the world has influenced you with all that is negative. Negative news appears as good news because it makes others feel better. Good news appears as bad news for it makes others feel bad. This is why the Good News is anathema to those who are lost but life to those who are eternally blessed.

REACH OUT

Happy is the man who is content and does not ask for more. He will be like a brook that gives out living water. He will be satisfied in all circumstances and release life rather then death. He is dependent on God for all his needs. He does not think of his needs for He will meet them all. He just reaches out to others to meet their needs. He is not caught up with his own issues but is a vessel ready for use by His Master. This is the man God uses for he is available to His Master for His use. This is the way God flows through people to meet their needs. A man who is content will look to fill the gaps so that others can be filled. God will move through you if you allow Him to. It is that look, touch and feeling for another that releases God’s love. His love is so pure that people who feel His love will never be the same again. It is not just words but action that results in change. Therefore today reach out to others and see your own needs being met as you do so.

HOPE FOR THE POOR

Many are the burdens who walk without the Lord. They believe that they are responsible for their lot in life. They do not realise that I am there for them. They live in ignorance and die in it. God loves everyone and you should have the same attitude towards them that God has. He made them all in His image but the traumas of life have reduced then to the state they are in. God came to restore this brokenness and restore to them the image of His Son, Jesus. Jesus came to set the captive free. This is why He preached to the poor knowing that they were the rejected ones and had no hope. He came for the hopeless that they may find hope in their poverty. Never ignore the poor and the ugly for theirs is the Kingdom of God. Look with His eyes and you will see the needy before you. Many suffer from rejection and loneliness. Be available to them. Lord make me sensitive to the needs of those around me.

REFRESHING TIMES

Happy is the man who surrenders all to the Lord. He will be like a palm tree that flourishes in the desert. He will be luxuriant despite all the scarcity around him. He will water others because he is full and overflowing. He has much to give because much has been given to him. Blessed is the Lord who gives freely. Freely you have received and therefore freely give. God will show you the next step as you step out in faith. He is a living God and therefore is able to communicate to you what he wants you to do. You can be in constant communion with Him because His Holy Spirit dwells in you. This is the time to relax in Him and be empowered for the work ahead. Nothing interests you more then to do His will. This is what total surrender means. You reckon your self dead to all the forces around you and within you. You are alive only in the Spirit. You are able to rise above the miasma of things around you. Your confidence is in the Lord and in Him you will hope all the time

TRIUMPH

Your purpose is to live for the Lord and fulfil His mission in the world. For this only total surrender to His will do. This means death to self. Death to self means no rights but only His right. No rights means that you only live to please Him and not your flesh. The key to defeat Satan is to deny the flesh its desires. No point trying to defeat Satan when your flesh refuses to deny itself. You can do it for God lives in you and will do it through you. This is the only reason God decided to live in you to give you power over your flesh. Once you realise His holy presence within you then you will live only to please Him. Every time you give into him you will be given power to overcome your flesh. Therefore go out now in the power of the Holy Spirit and see how He will lead you and guide you to triumph in every situation and relationship and venture.

SPIRIT LED

Pretty faces do not always promise what they display. It is the heart that matters rather then pretty faces. Many are fooled by the outward and then fall and regret the deception. Deception is a powerful way the enemy will deceive you and cause you to fall. Watch and pray that you are not deceived by your senses. Do not trust them for they are fuelled by your ego which lusts after good things of the world. The world, devil and flesh are major enemies of the spirit. The spirit is pure but is defiled by the agency of the flesh. Therefore be filled in the spirit and walk by the spirit. The Holy Spirit in you will lead you and guide you and work through your spirit. Your flesh will submit to the spirit when it is reckoned as dead. Giving into the flesh is like giving into the enemy of your soul
