NOT MY WILL BUT YOURS

Death to self is the only way to live a life of true freedom. The ego needs to be smashed into pieces for true release of the real self. The ego stained with sin can never replace the real self. The real self is hid in God. The real self is your spirit. In your spirit dwells the Holy Spirit. His Spirit works with your spirit to destroy your ego. This is what it means to take up your cross, crucify your flesh, reckon it as dead and to follow Jesus. In following Jesus you give up all rights and the only right you have is to follow Him. It is not the giving up of things or beating yourself but a surrender to Him in all ways. Not my will but your will was Jesus cry through out His earthly journey. This should be yours as well. Only then will you experience the fullness that is promised in the scriptures. As long as there is a bit of self there will be a partial filling only. You have to decide each day and this will transform your mind like to be like Jesus. In Him you are made whole, sanctified for His service. Without His Spirit working through you it will all be wasted work. His work inspires while your work retires.

LIVING IN THE MOMENT

Precious are the moments that open up new vistas of knowledge and experience when you are present in the moment. The moment is the most precious place to be when you walk in conscious presence. His presence in you enables you to be present and alive. Most people are on automatic pilot and their brains just operate in automatic mode. There is nothing new because it is all the old programs that are working in the present. When you live in His presence then new thoughts and ideas flow in and disrupt the old patterns. These old patterns are like old friends and provide a sense of false security. They are false because they are routine and nothing new. Being alive means to experience each moment as new. It is living life to the full. To hear the sound and see the sights in a new way is to be present. This means walking in the now and not in the past. How you live each day determines how you grow and mature. This is why it is good to die to self because self always wants to be in charge. Self is in charge by building its own program and sticking to it. It never changes because it is in a prison of its own making. It prefers to be in control even if it is in a prison. Death to self or the ego releases you from these repetitive thoughts and feelings and releases you into risky living.

WE ARE REFLECTIONS OF EACH OTHER

We are all reflections of the people we closely associate with. This may come across as a surprise but it is true. One sees this in close relationships like husband and wife. The wife reflects her husband and vice versa. We reject the parts that we see in others but fail to notice that we reject those parts of us that we see in others. A controlling wife will see her refection in her husband and reject him. The relationship becomes toxic when we try to control those reflections. God placed us together for a purpose and that is to refine us through each other. The moment we see that the other is a reflection of me then we stop blaming and start changing. When I change then my reflection changes. Just like a mirror that reflects my image so also wife/husband reflects me. This insight is what brings about change. You stop blaming the other and begin to work on changing yourself so that you reflect a different image. In this is the healing process not in changing the other but yourself. Your reflection should help you to know what needs to be changed. Therefore I am the change I need to see. I will see love when I am loving. I see patience when I am patient. I am the change I want to see. Help me Lord to be Christ so that I see your reflection in others.

OPEN TO GOD

Open to God and open to others is living life to the max. Closed to God and others is the sure way to decay and death. The soul is enriched through intercourse with others and God. Your mind is open to receive and in this process you are open to change and grow. Growth is a sign of vitality. Just as a well watered garden shows the vitality within so also a well watered soul is rich in vitality. It grows and nourishes others because it is nourished from within. Spending time alone with God is good nourishment for the soul. The soul thirsts after God because it is made for God. Nothing can fill this space but God. This is why all are created in God and seek for refreshment from Him. Many are not aware of this need but when it is revealed to them they become thirsty. You are called to direct others to their Creator. Many will reject this because of their blindness. Only the Holy Spirit can open their eyes. Once opened they are never the same. Walking in the Spirit is like walking in heaven, light and easy. Heavenly wings will propel you to other spheres which will enable you to attempt new things and overcome old fears.

PREPARE TO DIE TODAY

Prepare daily for the onslaught. This is wise and you will be prepared for battle at anytime. Just like a fireman is ready for the call so also you need to be ready when your call comes. This readiness will keep you alert. There is no time for resting in this life. The rest comes in the after life. The after life is for eternity. Therefore work as if it is the last day on earth and the first day in eternity. What an outlook for a believer who has set His heart for eternity. Death is just a door into eternity. There is no other way other then ascension which only a few experience. Most will have to enter through the door of death. This should keep you alert at all times because your last day maybe today.This is why life on earth is just a journey through earth on your way to heaven. You are born on earth but born again for heaven. Are you born again? If not today repent of your sin and accept Jesus as your Savior and live forever.

LIFE IS A ROLLER COASTER RIDE

Life is a roller coaster ride. You have to be prepared for this otherwise you will be left behind. In Christ you will have a faith that is prepared to take on every crisis and hindrance in your walk of life. The Holy Spirit in you will guide you as you listen to His voice in you. Just be in the spirit and you will find solace for your soul. Any other state will bring you confusion and distress. This is why living in the spirit is the only way to real life living. He has appointed you for a time like this to prove He is worthy. It is not escapism but a reality test of His faithfulness. Over and over again He has proven Himself to you. This is another test and you will have another testimony to share. God breaks the impasses and hindrances to help you breakthrough the deadlock situations. It may not be pleasant to the flesh but you do not operate in the flesh but the spirit. In the spirit you can overcome all these things and you are more then a conqueror in Christ. Therefore rejoice and be glad and be bold.

SACRIFICIAL GIVING

Giving is a way of life. Christ gave His own life as a living sacrifice. He died a death that was fit for criminals. An innocent man dying for sinners is the utmost act of giving. Giving that costs much is a sacrifice. Giving that costs you nothing is not a sacrifice. God is calling His people to give sacrificially. This is what pleases His heart. This kind of giving unlocks the treasures in heaven that will release abundance on earth. The key to abundance is in sacrificial giving. Therefore be delighted when you are called to give for then you can expect abundance. God knows and sees your heart and that is what matters. He does not judge by externals. His love flows freely but only those who tap into it will enjoy it. Come to the river and be filled. His riches money cannot buy. See how one thought from Him can change your perception. Poverty thinking will see giving as a loss. Abundance thinking will see giving as an opportunity. Give therefore, as you have freely received, freely give. This is the way to be cut free from earthly attachments.

TAKE OFF YOUR OLD CLOTHES

Take off your old clothes and put on your new clothes in Christ. This new you is who you want to walk out in your daily life. This new you has thoughts and feelings and is the Holy Spirit manifesting Himself through you. It only takes putting off your old clothes to achieve this. When you take of your old clothes you are taking off all the hurts and resentments associated with your old you. In Christ you are a new creation. Now walk in this knowledge. When you walk in your new clothes you will act like one. However it is not you but the Holy Spirit that works and walks through you. Do not be limited by your old attitudes of nothing can change. You are limiting the Holy Spirit's work in you when you say that. Accept who you are but be prepared to accept that change is possible. Fighting against your old nature only makes it stronger. When you put off your old nature or reckon it dead then your new nature can manifest through you.

ACCEPTANCE

Acceptance is the position of surrender to what is. What is, is the state of being you are in. Your mind may take you to other places and things but what is, is the present. In the present you learn to accept what is. In this acceptance is the freedom to be and not a image of it. When you allow your thoughts to rule then you are not walking in acceptance. I am here and now and that is all there is. It is not the future or the past but the present. You breathe now. You are alive now. Now is the only state you know. Everything else is a figment of your imagination. You have no control over what will be. You think you can control your life through your thoughts and actions. However don't be surprised that they don't work out as you planned. When you come to the place of acceptance then you are free to enjoy the present moment. You can dig deep into your spiritual state and live. The deeper you enter in to spirit life the more you are living in the now. Your thoughts are ego limited. Your spirit is not limited to time and space. Acceptance enables you to transcend time and space. Your whole being begins to respond to the state of acceptance and you come alive in the present.Hallelujah.

HOPE

Prepare for the worst. The worst is not the end for where there is life there is hope. Only a dead man has no hope. Hope is the living ingredient that propels your faith to new heights. There is no greater power then hope to change your circumstance. Hope will boost your faith and love will claim the prize. This is why love,faith and hope are the vital ingredients for your life. With these three you can overcome in all situations. The knowledge that He resides in you must fill you with hope. He is your hope of glory. Christ in you is your hope of glory. There is no other greater hope. This is why when you tap into His resources you connect with heaven and earth changes. This is to build the kingdom of heaven on earth. Earth is the footstool of the Lord. Just as you are receiving a download so also earth is blessed when you connect with heaven. Your destiny is sealed and whatever happens now is in His royal design. Rest in this and be bold. Nothing will happen to you that has not already been allowed by heaven. In this is your confidence that He who has begun this work in you will complete it.

LISTEN TO HIS VOICE

In times like these you need a Savior to save you from yourself. When you go through the valley everything appears dark and gloomy. Yet when you know that He is with you then you know deeply how He will help you. He is with you and in you and you can call on Him at anytime, day or night. He will speak through your thoughts. You will know His voice because you now are tuned into Him. In the valley is the time when you can hear Him clearly. On the mountain top you are so full of yourself that it is hard to hear Him. When you hear Him you will receive the comfort you need for the time you are in. When the disciples were imprisoned for their faith they looked to Him for comfort and hope. He is beyond the natural and intervened by opening the prison doors. He is your Protector. Remember when you are down the only way out, is up. Therefore keep looking up when you are down. Your salvation is near. Never give up hope for He is your hope. You will say then, that nothing can separate you from the love of God. This is how you grow in strength in God. Therefore do not despair but be bold and strong and the Redeemer of your soul will come to help you. Listen only to Him and to no other voices. The voices of fear and despair will go when you listen to Him. Come now and rejoice for the miracle that is just around the corner and will be revealed to you. You are a winner in God. Rejoice and again I say rejoice.

HIS LOVE

Separation is like death. Families that go through separation get the experience of what it feels like to experience loss. This loss is deep and hurtful. Separation of parents affects the children deeply. They face loss early in life and so are very sensitive to any kind of perceived rejection. Only love can heal the rejection. The kind of love that is required is unconditional and selfless. This is the agape love that Christ came to reveal through His death. He died an innocent death that you and I maybe saved. There is no other love that is higher and deeper then His love. His love is eternal and has eternal power to heal and to save. His love is so deep that it can reach the unreachable facets of your mind. His love heals and restores broken relationships and brings a wholeness that no human love can provide. His love is the only hope for mankind, hurt and rejected and abandoned. Let His love fill you and bring deep healing to your hurts and His love is able to raise even the dead. His resurrection life now is at work in you to help you to overcome all rejection and pain and set you free.

TAKE UP YOUR CROSS

Being Christ is a tall order but possible only in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is given to us so that we can be Christ to others. Without Him it is impossible to walk the way of the Cross. Jesus knew this and this is why He came and died for sin that I maybe delivered fro it. Now He has risen and ascended into heaven so that He could send His Spirit to dwell in me and live His life through me. This is a high calling but possible. I am nothing so that He can be everything. He will fill you and possess you when you surrender all to Him. There is no easy way. The way of the Cross is death to self. Death to self is death to your ego. Death to your ego is salvation from self to receive the fullness of His Spirit. This is why Jesus said, Take up your Cross and follow me. Your Cross is death to your ego. Wow.

RESTING IN HIS ARMS

In His presence is there peace and everlasting joy. There is perfect rest. The ego is dead and you are resting in His arms. His arms are so strong that there is no fear in Him. You have let go of yourself for you now have let God be God. This is the rest that God talks about. Your mind and spirit are at rest in Him. There is a perfect union between you and God and in Him you are at peace. What a fellowship, what a union in Him. Father I lay myself before you and let you be my Father. I trust you and I can trust no other, for you lay down your life for me. What a place to be and to be in this place is to be in heaven. In heaven there is no striving only rest. Where there is peace there is no place for any of the egoistic battles. The ego thrives on battles. In the Spirit you are free from these carnal battles. You are not led by your senses but by your spirit. You live like a saint and not a sinner. All your burdens are lifted off and now you are free. Bless the Lord O my soul and all within me bless His holy Name.

LIVING SACRIFICE

It is your ego that you need to offer up as a living sacrifice to God. See yourself on the altar of sacrifice and see the fire burn up your ego. Now your spirit is free from the selfish inclination of the ego. The ego is self centric while the spirit is Christocentric. In Christ you have been crucified. You now live by faith in Him who loves you and gave Himself up for you. In Christ you are a new creature who has the same spirit as Christ. Christ in you is your only hope of glory. Therefore meditate on Christ in you and do not be distracted by the slavish tendencies of your flesh. Your flesh is buried with Christ. Your spirit is raised with Christ. You are now seated in heavenly places with Christ. This is your calling and destiny. In Him you are one with the spirit. In the spirit you are free to be. Nothing can come against you and flourish. You are protected by the hand of the great I Am. Praise God that you are able to overcome in the spirit. In the flesh it is all doom and gloom but in the spirit it is all glorious.

DEATH TO THE EGO

Death to the ego is the only way to be free from its harassment. This is why Jesus said that if anyone wants to follow Him must take up his cross (die). Death to the ego is to die to all the selfish and self pleasing ways. Death to the ego is to be open to the needs of others and to be blind to the needs of self. Jesus always looked up and out, never in and down. To be a blessing you need to be the same. It is only the up and out will change the world and turn it upside down. The way of the world and self is in and down. Up and out is to embrace all as Christ did when He died for the whole world. The world rejects Him because the world is possessed with itself. How short sighted is the world that it cannot see beyond its self. This is the way of the world and the extreme of this ego state is narcissism. . Narcissism is a state of complete turning inwards that all you can see and admire is yourself. This state is a complete rejection of others and a preoccupation with self. Jesus was the opposite of narcissism when He left everything He had and came in the form of man to die for him. When you die to your ego, you die to your self. This releases you to be selfless and open to God to use you for His purpose. This is your eternal destiny and mission. Come Holy Spirit and burn this truth into me.

ALTER EGOS

WE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN ONE PERSON. THERE IS THE TIMID, SHY, AGGRESSIVE, JEALOUS, PROUD, FEARFUL, SCARED ONES IN US. DEPENDING ON WHICH EGO TYPE IS IN CONTROL SO ALSO ALL THE THOUGHTS AND ASSOCIATED FEELINGS. THESE EGO STATES KEEP CHANGING AND THIS IS WHY ONE SEES DIFFERENCES IN PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS. THIS IS NOT SURPRISING AS WE ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE. WE CAN ADAPT TO THE SITUATION AT HAND. HOWEVER SOMETIMES A DEPRESSED STATE CAN BE PROLONGED AND THIS STATE THEN BECOMES IN CONTROL OF ALL OUR FUNCTIONS. THE DEPRESSED STATE DEPRESSES ALL OUR FUNCTIONS OF BODY AND MIND. IN EXTREME CASES THE EGO SPLITS OF ITS SEPARATE STATES FROM EACH OTHER AND ONE THEN DISPLAYS MULTIPLE PERSONALITIES. ONE PERSONALITY IS UNCONSCIOUS OF THE PRESENCE OF THE OTHERS. WHEN YOU ARE OPERATING IN ONE MODE THEN YOU WALK AND TALK LIKE AS IF THAT IS YOUR REAL PERSONALITY. THESE DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES COME INTO PLAY IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. IT IS LIKE ONE IS AN ACTOR AND PLAYS DIFFERENT ROLES. ONE ROLE IS UNAWARE OF THE OTHER ROLES. IN CHRIST YOU CAN DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM THESE EGO STATES AND BE CHRIST. THIS IS THE PROCESS OF SANCTIFICATION AS I RENOUNCE MY ALTER EGOS AND PUT ON CHRIST. THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO LIVES IN YOU WILL HELP YOU AS YOU DIE TO THE FLESH AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT.TO BE IN CHRIST IS TO BE WHOLE IN BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT.

WORD OF HIS POWER

Many are the thoughts and concerns that pervade your mind but it only takes one thought to eliminate them. This is how God's word operates. His now word comes in and deletes those rogue thoughts and sets your mind at rest. How wonderful to know that we are our thoughts. What we think determines how we walk. Therefore knowing your thoughts is to know you. This is why talking therapies are so powerful for they give an insight into the mind of a person. A person who is obsessed with thoughts of gloom and doom is bound to be fearful and depressed. The feelings are sparked off by the thoughts. These bad thoughts keep you stuck in your rut. The thoughts become part of your belief system. When God's word comes with assurance then those negative thoughts become eliminated. You can shift your thoughts and see the world differently. Control over your thoughts is the way to go. In Him your thoughts are in submission to His word. His word then determines your walk. Jesus spoke and the worlds were formed by the word of His power. His power is available to all. It is the word of His power that carries the power to perform the work. Now tap into His word and see power released for healing, health and wholeness.

EGO DRIVEN

Once you are able to separate your ego from your real self then you have come to the place of true freedom. Your true self is hid in Christ. This is your spiritual self. This self is connected with the eternal presence and is not confined to the conflicts of your ego. Your ego is sustained through conflicts. Your ego has no sense of self except through conflict. Conflict is what defines your ego. Without conflict the ego feels deserted and alone. Conflict keeps the wheel going round. Sometimes the conflict is so great that it feels like exploding. This conflict is fueled by emotions that have been around for ages. Because this conflict is subconscious you don't feel you have much control over it. It comes under your control when you become conscious of this conflict. Many when asked the question about their internal thoughts will say nothing. It is like a dream that you can't remember. Yet the dream is recurring and takes so much of your time and sometimes intrudes into your sleep and daily activities. This subconscious activity is what determines your day and how it goes. When you are able to separate or distance yourself from this activity then you are able to live in the realm of the supernatural. The supernatural realm is real and near but is often missed because you are so taken up with your ego. Your ego demands attention and it works in different ways to get it. Now is the time to separate yourself from your false self or ego and come nigh to your real self. This is to operate in consciousness and not be driven by the subconscious needs of the flesh.

FLESHLY BATTLES

Powerful thoughts come through to you when you walk in harmony with the Spirit. The Spirit will freely move through you as you surrender to His will. This is the normal walk for a fully surrendered person. A living sacrifice is one that willingly places his life on the altar. This altar is the only place where you will find rest for your soul. This is the battle that rages between the soul and the spirit. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak is true. The flesh is weak in terms of giving into the desires of the flesh rather then the desires of the spirit. When the flesh is laid on the altar then all those desires are burnt up. This is God's solution to the ego that is relentless in staying alive. It is the cause of all your internal struggles. In the Spirit the ego has no say for it has to bow to the spirit. It is so simple yet so difficult to the flesh. The flesh will fight any resistance to it. The devil will aid the flesh and fight the spirit. Only total surrender can bring relief. God allows situations and persons to trouble you till you give up the flesh and rest in the spirit. Resting in the spirit is the way to go and purchase your inheritance. In the Spirit you have peace and joy and this will help you to stay focused on the goal of your salvation.

SURRENDER TO THE SPIRIT

Total surrender is the only way to walk in the Spirit. The ego will demand its way but the Spirit's way is the best way. For this surrender to the Spirit is the only way to defeat the flesh. When you see the ego coming in then you need to become conscious and surrender to the Spirit. The ego works through automatic patterns which are subconscious. Most of us operate in the subconscious for this does not require much energy. These subconscious patterns are the default position of the ego. The ego thrives in conflict for this is what keeps it alive. When you see this happening just surrender to the Spirit in you and watch the ego dissolve. The ego does not like to be watched for it thrives in darkness. All its plans are developed in darkness. The light blinds the ego and it goes into the background. When you surrender to the Spirit then light comes in and the darkness recedes. This is why you need to walk in total surrender which is bad for the ego. In the Spirit you have freedom from all the cares of the world. In the Spirit you operate in the dimension of the eternal and not the earthly. You are heavenly minded with feet of clay. When your mind is set on the Spirit then your walk will be by the Spirit. So come today and surrender all to Him who is your Comforter.

NEW NATURE

The sinful flesh which the Bible calls the old nature will always be with you till you die. It is sinful and evil and you need to reckon it dead as you have a new nature in Christ. This fleshly nature will raise its head from time to time with its old feelings and thoughts. Recognize where they come from and kill them immediately. This is the only way to overcome the flesh. You can't change your old sin nature. It is steeped in sin and this is why you did not have much control over it. In Christ you can reckon it dead. Now you can be free from its harassment and be free to live in the Spirit. The spirit man in you lives in God. You abide in Him and He will direct your thoughts and feelings. The nature we inherited will be there but in the spirit you have a new nature. Now live from your new nature which is being renewed in Christ.As you walk daily in your new nature it becomes a habit. You no more look to your old nature as it is a cruel tormentor. It torments you with thoughts of lack and fear. Fear comes from the old nature which does not know the unconditional love of Christ. The new you, hid in Christ, knows His unconditional love and remains in His love. Remember He holds you and all you have to do is rest in His arms. What a salvation from the torment of the old nature which strives to be but fails miserably.Only in Christ can you be saved from the tormentor of your soul.

WALK BY THE SPIRIT

In the Spirit I have a new mind and it is through this new mind that I will see the world like God sees it. A person taken up with his own ego will only see through his lenses. He cannot be objective because his mind is closed to the views and perceptions of others and of the Spirit. A spirit filled person operates from another realm. This is why you need to be filled always and walk live in the Spirit and walk by the Spirit. This will keep you present and conscious of the moment rather then be lost in the past or the future. The past and the future you release to Him who is in control of both and live in the present moment. You can plan for the future but only God knows what is in the future. You can live in the fantasy of what may happen. Funny how when things happen they appear different to what you thought would happen. Yet we humans think that we know and never learn from experience. It is best to walk by faith for this is what strengthens your faith. Sight requires no faith. Faith walks sightless because it depends on God. This is what releases God's goodness and favor. When we walk in the light as He is in the light then the blood of Jesus cleanses us continuously from all sin. Sin keeps us from God. His light keeps us from sin. Hallelujah.

JESUS BLOOD SAVES

The blood of Jesus is the most powerful agent for cleansing of sin. His blood is living because He rose from the dead. He had to shed His blood because this is the only way for sin to be cleansed. Animal sacrifices could not do it. It had to be human and divine blood for cleansing on earth and in heaven. This dual cleansing enables God to be free from the influence of sin both in heaven and earth. This has restored the communion between God and man. What a wonderful way to be free from the power of sin. This is what will set the captive free as the blood is no respecter of persons. Everyone can avail of the cleansing who will claim its cleansing power by faith. Just believe and receive and be washed clean. There is nothing more that is required. Imagine your whole being, body,mind and spirit being cleansed in the blood. This is the simple message of the Cross. This is what drove missions into the darkest lands and brought deliverance to millions. It is still the only way of salvation.

MIND OF CHRIST

Have the mind of Christ. What it it to have the mind of Christ? This means to be filled in the Spirit of Jesus so that His thoughts and feelings emanate through you. His mind is the spirit mind. His Spirit will think through you. Why be encumbered with thoughts and feelings of your own ego when He lives in you and can think through you? It is foolishness to walk in the fleshly mind when you have the spirit of God in you. His mind is full of love, faith and humility. The ego is full of pride, selfishness and negativity. Why trade what is good for what is foul? The dying of the ego is your only hope of salvation. In Christ you are a new creation, you have been born again. Now it is your choice to live in the new man or default to the old man. The new man in Christ has the mind of Christ. As your ego dies so also your spirit man grows and possesses you more and more. It is like taking over the land that has been fallow and fruitless. Now be clothed with the mind of Christ and be made whole. Healing, knowledge and wisdom will flow through you as you walk in the fullness of the Spirit. Come Holy Spirit and fill me today.

IN CHRIST

To be separate is to be set apart in Christ. I have died with Christ and now I live in the power of my resurrected Lord. The moment I shift from this position in Christ then I begin to walk in the flesh or ego again. This is the struggle. In the flesh I get all kinds of old feelings and thoughts. In the Spirit I am whole and new and fresh and alive. The old patterns die hard for they are ingrained in my soul. The new must replace the old and this can happen suddenly or gradually. The suddenlies are rare when a person has a an experience like Paul on the road to Damascus. The speed at which I change is dependent on me. The more I die to self(ego), the more I grow in the spirit. Therefore I am in charge of my walk. I choose to be filled and to walk in the spirit today. I have the spirit mind in me and I have His thoughts and feelings and I do accordingly. This is the way to complete freedom from the flesh and freedom in the spirit. Praise Jesus.

FIX YOUR MIND ON JESUS

The ego is rattled in crisis. It goes into hyperactivity to try and quell the threat. It begins to look for fault in others then take responsibility for its actions. The ego always goes into self preservation. Jesus always looked outwardly to His Father in heaven when He faced the Cross. He prayed that this cup may pass but not His will but His Father's will be done. So also you must look to the Father in heaven and keep your mind on Him. Let His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In this way you will stay the course and not be distracted by your ego. Your ego will jump up and down for it is controlled by fear and not love. Love is of the spirit. His love will protect you and sustain you. In His love you will remain safe and secure and nothing without or within can dampen it. Therefore fix your mind on Jesus today and prevail.

COURAGE

Blessed is the Lord who gives me the courage to do what He has called me to do. He is my Father and my friend and in Him I am secure from the attacks of the devil. He is the One who saves me and keeps me sane. He loves me so and He wants the best for me. All my weaknesses I surrender to Him for He is my righteousness. In Him I will rejoice and be glad. He cleanses me and assures me of salvation from all evil. How good is He that He has called me to serve in His Kingdom. His Kingdom is light and life and in Him there is no darkness. He fills me with light. When fear comes in He comes in to drive fear out. His love sustains me. Many are the trials and temptations but the Lord is the keeper of my soul. Come holy Spirit and fill me till I am filled with only you. How good it is to live in the land of the righteous. He is my righteousness and Him I am glad.

HIS VOICE

In the Name of Jesus there is freedom from all things of the flesh. In His Name you can overcome all things. He will give you the strength and the power to do what you thought impossible to do. He is the Savior of the world. He is available to all. He calls all to come to Him but only a few hear His call. He is a personal Savior. He comes to save all who call on His Name. His Name is above all other names because He is the Creator of the whole Universe. He operates from above. Yet He is the still small voice that speaks to you when you are quiet. All the noise that bombards you shuts His voice out. You will hear Him when you listen to Him. His voice comes in the deep of the night to help you stay the course. Other voices will come to distract you but His voice always calls you home. Never give into these other voices that come to steal and destroy. Anything that is destructive is not of Him. He is the master at restoration and not destruction. Therefore listen to Him and be at peace.

DEFENSIVE POSITIONING

To be centred in Him is the only way to keep the ego at bay. The ego will have its own thoughts and feelings which will conflict with your spirit man. In theses times do not listen to your ego which is threatened but the spirit man who is hid in Christ. Christ is the only One who can keep you sane in conflict. In conflict it is the best time to die to the dictates of your ego. The ego will always think in terms of personal gain. It will never sacrifice itself for another. Death to the ego is the only way to win the spiritual warfare. In the Spirit you will have wisdom to know how to respond in difficult times. The facts of the matter are unimportant. It is what God wants that matters. God wants that all men be saved and freed from the clutches of the ego and the devil. Many suffer silently because they are in defense. They are in prisons of their own making. They have built such firm walls that no one can reach them. They feel safe in their own prison and they will die in it. Defenses are like walls and they keep you captive and keep the light from reaching you. True freedom is in Christ for He come in and breaks through the defenses and lets His light shine through. The captive is freed from his prison and now can walk in the light of peace and joy.

STORMS

The Lord is in the storm and the fire. When you go through the storm and fire it does not feel nice. However you are in Him who is in the storm with you. In Him you abide and He is your shelter. God allows you to go through the storm so that you can experience His peace that passes all understanding. It is His peace that enables you to walk and not faint. It is His strength that enables you to be strong when everything else is crumbling around you. It is His joy that keeps you confident and unperturbed because you know He is in control. You have gone through these storms for a purpose. The purpose is to enable you to trust Him more and be more like Him. Jesus slept through the storm because He was in His Father's presence and not in the storm. When you are able to hide in Him then no storm can overcome you. The storm will pass and you will be more stronger for it. Therefore welcome the storms and expect to grow from it and not fail. The greater the storms the stronger you will be to withstand the enemy and his tactics. I am hid in Christ for eternity.

SPIRIT MAN

How good to know that the spirit man is unperturbed during times of turmoil. He is fixed in his position and does not change like the ego does. When the ego is threatened it goes into defensive position. The spirit goes into offensive position and fights the battles in the spirit. The spirit man is at peace because its mind is stayed on Christ. It is Christ who holds him during strive. He is calm and collected because he knows who holds his hand. This is why it is so important to remain in the spirit and let the ego die a death that will enable the spirit to have full sway. In all our battles the ego will try and twist and turn and preserve itself. Christ's way is death to the ego so that the spirit can be free from its lusts and desires. How good it is to experience the peace in the spirit during times of turmoil. This is a work of God and through His Spirit He will overcome. You will be in a stronger place after every battle and you will know what it means to be more then a conqueror.

CRISIS

The devil is unhappy when you are devoted to his enemy, Jesus Christ. He will come as a roaring lion to frighten you and instill fear in you. He will give you all kinds of negative thoughts to scare you. However Jesus the Lion of judah is greater then him. He can make a loud noise like a lion but it is only noise. The Lion of Judah has your life in His hands. No one can touch you and your destiny is secure in Him. Many walked the lonely path of Christ and were comforted by His Spirit. The broad way leads to destruction therefore choose the narrow way and live. Jesus is beside you and will comfort you. Never fear for He works through His Spirit. Just as He has done so in the past He will do again. Look at each crisis as a turning point to victory. A stalemate is a staus quo position and no one moves. A crisis on the other hand disrupts the status quo and movement occurs. Therefore rejoice that the Lord is at work and pray for protection from the enemy who works in darkness and in him is no light.

IT ONLY TAKES A THOUGHT TO CHANGE YOUR DESTINY

The power of a thought is incomprehensible. Thoughts are like atom bombs. It explodes into your psyche and causes you to change. This is why Jesus spoke the word and the word, which is a spoken thought, went out and performed its work. Imagine the power for change when you speak forth God's word with faith. The word of His power will release the power through your spoken word. Now imagine how important it is to choose your words. They have the potential to curse or to bless. Repent of all the words that you have spoken that were sent to destroy. Now ask the Holy Spirit to cleanse your tongue so that only words that bless will come forth. Jesus chose what He spoke because His words gave life. They still do to anyone who hears and believes. Come Holy Spirit cleanse my thoughts and words that they may be acceptable in your sight. Bind all the thoughts that will hinder you and the progress of the gospel. Release the words of life that will bear fruit to eternity.

INTERNAL CLIMATE

The internal climate of your soul will affect the external climate of your home. The warmer the climate in your soul the warmer it will be outside. Each of us will determine what sort of climate we will create. A loving climate is indication of loving souls. To create a loving atmosphere in your home, church, work place means that you must first produce love. You can only produce love if you are filled with love. A loving person exudes love. Love is acceptance and not rejection of the other. A loving home accepts each one as an individual. It is not a mass but a group of individuals. A mass is a mess. It appears loving but there is no separation from each other. A mass is a group with poor boundaries. It intrudes into each others space and does not allow for personal growth. God has created us as individuals for a purpose. We are unique individuals with a purpose that only each can fulfill. Be filled in the Holy Spirit and be filled in His love. This is what will produce the fruit of love that will affect others.

JESUS

Call on the Name of Jesus and He will come to your aid. His Name is the most powerful Name in heaven and on earth. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He is the everlasting Savior of the world. The world needs Him more then ever. He needs to be proclaimed to all. The church's main mission should be to proclaim Him and not be distracted by side issues. When a church majors on its mission of salvation for all then it has caught the Master's heart and mission. A church that fails to proclaim the saving Name of Jesus to the world has lost its vision and mission. Jesus is all we have and know. He is the only solution for peace and without Him peace is a fantasy. The only sure foundation we have is Jesus. Let us be urgent in our need to proclaim His Name to all.

LUSTS OF THE FLESH

The lusts of the flesh are so subtle that sometimes it is only in times of isolation does it comes to obsess you. There is only one way to handle them and that is through the Cross. The lusts are so powerful that they can attack you and overwhelm you when you least expect them. Be watchful for your enemy works through your flesh to overcome you. This is the spiritual warfare you need to win. When the flesh is strong the spirit will grow stronger, not weaker. The spirit is up to every challenge. The flesh is weak and can easily be tempted to sin. This is why you need to acknowledge the life giving power of the spirit to overcome every weakness. For every weakness there is a solution in the spirit. God gave His Spirit to you so that you can overcome fleshly weakness. Now you can step up to the platform and fight the enemy of your soul and defeat him. His blood continuously cleanses you even when you are not aware of it. Awareness brings strength. Unconsciousness leads to weakness. Most patterns are unconscious and therefore driven by a power that springs from the depths of your soul. These unconscious patterns have been laid down from early childhood. These are the hidden drives that make people do silly things and then they are surprised when they are caught with their pants down. Praise God He makes us aware of our weakness that we may overcome through His Spirit.

FAITH ADVENTURE

Faithful is our God who prepares me for every situation and gives me the words and the ability to do what I have to do. Living by faith is an adventure because anything can happen. You are prepared for anything and surprises are welcome. You are prepared to change to accommodate to the situation at hand. You are not stuck in a rut of routine and programes. You are free to be who you are called to be. You can do anything because you believe you are able to do anything in God's strength. He will provide the wisdom and the unction to do what to you may appear impossible. God will lift your sights higher to operate in the impossible realm. You will stretch yourself higher and wider to reach for the utmost. This is what the faith adventure is all about. You are never bored but excited at each new day and what it has to offer. You are prepared because He knows the end from the beginning. Thank you Lord for saving me.

PREPARE

Prepare and be prepared for the coming days are days of testing. Be much in prayer and be much in waiting for the Lord. Doing your own thing feels good but haste always results in mistakes. Be calm and ready and wait for the unction of the spirit. Move when it is time to do so and never doubt. Always trust in the Lord and He will come through for you. The Word of Knowledge is so powerful because it comes suddenly and lifts you up from your rut. This is the way the Lord works. He is forever near and He is so close to you. He will intervene in times of need when you have exhausted your resources. He is the God of plenty and in Him there is no lack. See how good He is, for He gives you all you need to live an abundant life. Enjoy each moment as if it is the last moment of your life. Praise Jesus.

GOD IS GOOD

Wow what a great God we serve. He has appointed a time and a place for all things. He has planned everything and everything will happen according to his plan. No devil can stop Him. Yes God is doing everything and man is just a pawn in the order of things. Man thinks he is in control but the evidence is otherwise. Man has no control over the weather , tsunamis and such. He can contain things but some things are not containable. Things happen and man responds to those things. Death is not in man's control. God is in control of life and death. In God you are safe and secure because you are in Him. Without Him life is but a dead road to no where. Man without God is a dead end. Man with God is an eternal journey of love and life. Thank you God for who you are and for giving me life. Enjoy life to the full with God knowing He knows the end from the beginning. Because He knows this you can be confident that the end will be good. For a christian the end is eternal life which never ends.

DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES WITHIN YOU

In each of us are different persons that dwell within. Each has a personality and out of each emanate thoughts, feelings and behaviors. The predominant personality usually operates and dictates how you will conduct yourself. In crisis especially it is the main personality that operates and controls your behavior. Many are able to show forth their good selves in controlled settings. Away from those settings the more dominant parts of you operate. The degree to which you can hide your real self is dependent on how sophisticated you are in hiding. People play different roles and these roles demand certain behaviors. Some are easy to play because they are congruent with who you are. Others are more difficult. It may be easy to be a boss but not a husband. Being aware of the different personalities within you will enable you to shift and not be pulled down by the negative personalities within you. In Jesus all these personalities are under His control. You can shift easily to Him when you call out His Name. You have been saved from yourself through Him. He comes and takes residence in your heart. When you give in to any of these other personalities within you then they will take over. The depressive takes over when you feel depressed. The worrier takes over when you are worried. The tormenter takes over when you feel persecuted and so on. Surrender to Jesus and He will take over and subdue your other personalities. When the Holy Spirit possesses you then He will be in charge all the time. Any shift will be quickly subdued by Him. The only safe place to be is in Him who abides in you. Abide in Him and He will abide in you.

VICTORY IN JESUS

Perfect are His plans for you. Everything He has planned will come to pass. He will direct your steps. You may feel at times that this cannot be so but God is in control. Everything and everyone put in your path will have a purpose in His plan. Nothing is wasted. Everything will be enveloped in love. All the negativity will be enveloped in love. There is nothing outside His world of love. All are included in His great plan. He is God and He controls and envelopes everything. He created the worlds and all that is in it. He gives breathe to produce life. It is His breathe that sustains life. The devil has been subdued. He has only entrance in places where he is given permission. Man has authority on earth, not the devil. He will try and induce fear in you and make you think that he is in control. He lost control at Calvary. This was the turning point in history. Now he is history and Jesus is victory. His Spirit in you will enable you to do anything He has called you to do. His is the victory and the devil is a liar.

JESUS, THE ONLY WAY

Only Jesus saves. No other person saves. This is what the world needs to hear. There is salvation in no other but Jesus. He came as a message from God and now lives to claim His own. His Spirit is roaming the earth and saving all who are called. Pray and seek Him and He will guide you to the souls that need to be saved. He is the Savior of the world and and He saves for eternity. Salvation from self can be an earthly thing but salvation in Jesus is eternal. Many are the ways you can be delivered but true deliverance comes only from the One who has conquered sin and death. Sin causes death. Jesus causes life. Therefore choose Jesus and you have chosen life. God is working through you and will bring to pass His will. Call on Him day and night and never lose sight of the goal. The goal is to be with Jesus in heaven. Paul said he rather be in heaven but there is much work to do here. Therefore work as if it is the last day on earth and be Jesus to all.

NEW MAN IN CHRIST

Ask and you shall receive. A child asks believing he will receive an answer. God works in the same way. Ask and you shall receive. Ask Jesus who is your big brother. He came to be the representative of God. He will represent your requests to God. You are now His representative on earth. When you pray for others you are acting like Jesus. You have direct access to God through Jesus. Now you can ask for anything and it will be done for you. Total surrender results in total acceptance. You can ask for anything because you belong to Him. Nothing is impossible to Him because He is God. If Jesus was raised from the dead then that is a mark of what is possible. In your new body anything is possible. You are in Him and therefore all things are new. You now can operate in your new man. Reckon your old man as dead. Now you live an eternal life not limited by your old life condemned to death. Resurrection power flows through you. All you see is just a perception. It changes as you change your thinking. Life and death are in your hands. What you curse will be cursed and what you bless will be blessed. The old has passed away, behold the new has come.

TRUST

Cry out to god for mercy in this fallen world. God will answer in the wind and the storm. He is waiting for a people who will trust Him completely. Abraham trusted God. Joshua trusted God. Daniel trusted God. Trust is the basic ingredient of faith. Without trust faith is a farce. In all relationships trust is essential. Superficial trust ignores the bad times. Trust is essential especially during the bad times. Never take your eyes off Jesus. Just call on His Name and He will come through for you. He will fight for you and strengthen you. Once trust is established then mountains will move. The sure way to measure your faith is to measure your trust. Who do you look to for your salvation? Who do you trust to help you through hard times? These are the questions you have to ask. If your answer is anything other then Jesus then you have to come to the Cross and repent and be saved. A superficial trust will get you no where. You have to trust completely to receive His goodness. No trust, no gain.

LISTEN FOR HIS VOICE

Man is bereft when God leaves and the devil comes in. It is only God's presence that keeps the devil at bay. God is for His people. The devil is against His people. The devil has been sent to keep the saints on alert. Without an adversary the saints will relax and let their guard down. Therefore be watchful for he is out to try and out smart you. In Christ you can rest for in Him He has conquered the evil one. The devil will try and confuse you and make you believe that you are a lost case but never listen to his negativity. Everything negative is from him. He is a liar and a robber and a destroyer of souls. Pray much for in this way you will keep yourself free from the intrusion of other voices. God will then come clearly to you. God will keep you strong when you live each day in the power of His love. His love can overcome anything. Pray for the power of His love to drive you today. This is the only power then can overcome the world and subdue the devil. Run to Him for safety and you will feel His arms enfold you. Never stop walking by faith for it is only by faith that you will be able to overcome your enemy. Many voices will confuse but His voice will direct you. Therefore don't move till you hear His voice.

HIS WAY

God's ways are not man's ways. God works through His Spirit. Man works through his intelligence. Man's ways are limited by his vision of how things have to be done. He can't see beyond the present. The present climate determines his vision. God sees the end from the beginning. He knows all that is in the way and so knows how to work through those hindrances. Man is subject to what happens outside and there is no smooth path. What works today may not work tomorrow. Therefore there is a risk in each venture. Listening to God to find His way is the sure way to move forward. Following after every whim and fancy is not the way. Waiting on God to hear Him and follow Him is the way to go. Therefore wait on the Lord and live in His presence daily and He will direct your paths. God will work out in you what you have to do and where you have to go. He will send His angels to help you. In this way you can be sure that He is guiding you. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

POWER WITH GOD

The Lord is good and He will come to you when you least expect Him. Never be guided by your feelings for they change like the weather. In Him you are safe and secure and nothing within or without can change this. He is there and He will speak to you and comfort you. What or who can replace Him? Nothing or no one can replace Him. He is always with you even when the storm clouds come. He just wants you to be His witness. He will reveal to you His plans in due time. In the meanwhile just learn to rest and enjoy the journey. Don't confuse your goals with His goals. Your goals sometimes are ego led and not God led. Ego led goals serve to promote you and your agenda. Think about this: what can you do that He has not done already? He has done everything that needs to be done for your salvation. Now all you need to do is to be a witness of His great work. To be a witness is to be His hands and feet where He has placed you. This does not take brilliance because He has equipped you with all you need to be His witness. Share His work in your life and see Him come through each time you do so. Trust in His supernatural power and you will be able to do anything. It is relationship with Him that will result in power with Him to do exploits for Him.

CHANGE IS GOOD

Communion with the Father is the only way to maintain a close walk with Him. He is always there but your thoughts wander to other spheres. God is good and He will always come through for you. You expect a revival and you will have one because you asked your Father for it. Prepare for a revival. Remember there is a responsibility to not only usher in a revival but to maintain it. A revival will bring change and this change may not be comfortable. Any change will cause a disruption to your thoughts and feelings. Embrace these changes for they will keep you alive. The dead boredom of routine is what kills people. Change is good because it will keep you alert and embrace change like a good thing. When you are positive about change then the change becomes a friend and not a foe. Your life is hid in Him and therefore He is in the change with you. He will change you to be like Him. If you refuse to change then you will remain stagnant and go stale. Watch out for this for this is bad. Stale water never produces life that is fresh and vital. Fresh water energizes and refreshes. Therefore seek to be fresh each day as you feed on His fresh manna daily.

PURPOSE

Purpose is what generates energy for moving forward by faith. No purpose results in lack of enthusiasm for the cause. A purpose is a goal to aim for. Your goal of a million souls is a goal. Now the energy for the goal comes from heaven. Christ Himself in you will manifest Himself through you so many may come into His Kingdom. The Kingdom of God is within you and needs to be seen through you to be seen around you. God manifests His Kingdom through His people. When His people love each other then the Kingdom of God is manifested on earth as it is in heaven. His Kingdom is not made with hands but it is a spiritual Kingdom breathed through His spirit. His Spirit moves freely wherever He pleases. When you expect a move of God then He will come and move in your midst. By faith you can imagine and expect anything. Your Kingdom come, your will be done. This is your prayer till you see His Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.

YOUR REDEEMER LIVES

Perfect is the love of the Father. He is above all and He loves His children. You can do anything that God asks you to do because His power will back your resolve. He will back His children 100% and there is no dithering with Him. He is all for you and therefore you can depend on Him all the time. He is for you and will be with you no matter what. Jesus knew His Father had sent Him and would be with Him all the way. You also know that God is with you. Do not let your thoughts and doubts dissuade you. Cling to His eternal word and you will be safe. The only way to reverse the power of your thoughts is to cling to His written word. This never changes. When the devil attacks you, proclaim His living word. His blood will cover you and His blood will wash your conscience clean from dead works. He will give you new thoughts to counter act the old thoughts. In this way you become renewed in your mind. Therefore be glad that your Redeemer lives.

CHALLENGES

Many are the trials and tribulations you will have to face but the Lord is with you all the time. He will never leave you or forsake you. He is always there with you and will sustain you. Only keep your eyes on Jesus. Each challenge is an invitation for you to trust Him to work through you. No challenge, no growth. There is a purpose for the challenges. You can view them as negative experiences or challenges. The challenge is to enter the fray and come out victorious. Do not be overcome with a defeatist mentality. There is no failure in Christ. When you walk in the spirit then all you do is walk with Him. If the Cross was a failure then it is only so in the eyes of those who do not believe in the resurrection. The Cross is the only way to experience the resurrection. No Cross, no resurrection. There is life in negative experiences. It is the key to overcoming. Therefore look for the resurrection experience when you go through the challenge. Never say die till you die. All the experiences you have had have molded you to the person you are today.Therefore commit all your ways to Him and He will make straight the paths. Change your thinking and it will change your outcome.

DELIVERANCE FROM THE TORMENT OF YOUR EGO

Keeping your focus on Jesus enables you to separate yourself from the thoughts and feelings of others. You will allow Jesus to fill you with His thoughts and not be influenced by the thoughts of others. When you catch yourself thinking what others are thinking then you know it is you thinking what you think they are thinking. Own these as your thoughts and you will change your perception of others. You will not judge others so easily when you realize it is your thoughts that you think of them and not their thoughts. This is to be more real then think for others. You think for others to put yourself up or down. When you think highly of others then you will put yourself down. When you think lowly of others then you put yourself up. All these are ego thoughts that play the role of the victim or the victor. The ego needs conflict to be real. Where there is no conflict there is fear and trepidation. Conflict enables the ego to feel real and it is in the process of the conflict that you become known for who you really are. All your emotions are stirred up and you become your false self of your deep fears and desires. This gives you reason to save yourself from the torment of your oppressors. These oppressors are not external to you but internal. Your projections of your oppressors make them external entities. This is why when you own your feelings then you will be less likely to project and displace your feelings on to others. This realization enables you to be free from your oppressors and become real with others. You free others to be themselves when you are open about your fallen feelings. This is the path to true enlightenment. It is this process that leads to your salvation from all the cravings of your flesh.

FATHER GOD

Father God I love you because you are my father. What a powerful name that contains the essence of one's being. There is no other name that can rePlace the name of father. It is the source of all life. It spells creator, for from father flows the son and daughter. Without the father there is no creation. When I connect with my Father I connect with all creation for all creation comes from the word of His mouth. All are from Him and are under His control. No one listens to anyone but the Father. Even the mother is subject to the father. The son obeys the father because he is his father. Connect with the father through the son which is what Jesus came to do. Man lost connection with the father through sin and therefore father had to sacrifice His son to reconnect with us. His sacrifice is the only channel through whom I can connect with Him. The Father sees the son in me and connects with me. It is His son that He sees and responds to. Because I have Jesus in my heart, therefore His Spirit in me cries Abba Father. Now I am free to commune with my Father in heaven because of His Son. Hallelujah. I can now know His thoughts and respond to Him.

THE CAUSE

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord and not in his own wealth. The Lord is wealthy and He is generous. He gives freely because all things belong to Him. A man who trusts in the Lord will give freely and not hold back. God is good and He will answer your prayer because He loves to give. You are entering a season of revival. Prepare for the Lord's return for it is very soon. Put all your energy into this and you will find that people will flock to you. When people believe your message then they will give for the Kingdom sake. People will give to a cause they believe in. When they have tasted the Lord then nothing else matters. He is going to move mightily amongst you. Watch and pray and expect the best and the best will come to you. Ignore the small irritations and be fixed on the big plan. God will provide the resources for His cause. All He wants is willing people to fight for His cause.

ALL IS RIGHT IN HIM

God is good and He answers your prayers in His time. His timing is the best for He knows when it is right. All you need to do is pray and wait. It is His cause you are fighting for. He will reveal His purpose in His time. Your time is now but God's time is eternity. This is why you need to live in the now but have an eternal perspective. In this way you can live fully now with an eternal perspective. God loves a man who can trust in Him fully. No doubts, just trust. This is the way to move forward in faith. He allows you to experience Him in different ways. He will provide you with the wisdom to know and to do. He will direct your paths and in Him all things work together for good. The good and the bad experiences will be brought together in Him. In this way He is in control of all things. He created the world with all things. Sin entered and messed up things but He is still in control. Therefore be true to what you believe. There is no right or wrong in Him for He is all right. Therefore in Him when you walk in the Spirit all is right. You have peace of mind and your heart is in all that you do. This is the way to live and be fruitful. No more agitating about what could be. All is as is because He is.Now go and multiply and be fruitful.

PURPOSE

Purpose is what drives achievement. A man with a purpose enables all his faculties to function in unison to achieve the goal. A soul totally surrendered to God and His purpose has no worries about tomorrow. He has given up all personal ambitions and is fixed on serving His purpose. Such a person is not taken up with his ego needs but is taken up with what God desires and wants. This is to be invested in fulfilling the purpose of another. In such a case the Lord is the driver and I am the passenger. I just appear to be in the driver's seat when actually He is driving it. I am just a vessel in His hands to do His bidding. I just take each day as it comes and accept the outcome of each day. I know that He is working out all things and wait for surprises. I let go and let Him do the making. I am content to sit and wait. I will not be driven to distraction. I will remain focused on my goal as He works it out. How good to be in that place of total rest in Him. He determines my days and I am satisfied with my lot. I will rejoice each day in His goodness. I will rejoice and be glad. He is my Father and He loves me so. Great is His faithfulness.

I AM ADDICTED TO JESUS

I am addicted to Jesus. Jesus is all I have. He is mine and I am His. Now all I want is in Him. I want to be like Him. I want to think and feel like Him. I want to be possessed by His Spirit. His Spirit within me is my salvation. He is the guarantee that I am His and my salvation is secure in Him. He gives me all I need to live for the moment. In Him I am energised and filled with hope. He fills my being with love and hope. Hope keeps me alive. This is not a dead hope but a living hope. Jesus means hope for He is the hope of the world. The world is doomed to annihilation because the god of this world is condemned to hell fire. Men are trapped in his snares. The world entraps you by gold and glitter and girls. Yet God will redeem you from these things and bring you to a place of complete detachment from these things. Once you are detached from these things, then these things have no more influence over you. You are like a dead man who fails to respond to these things. Thank you Lord for your salvation that keeps me free from attachment to these things. You have to forsake all these things to inherit the Kingdom of God.

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.
