TRUST IN THE LORD

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord. He will have his barns full and overflowing. God is good and His goodness can be seen everywhere. What a great privilege it is to serve the Lord. He is a Comforter of souls. What comfort He gives to those who travail and are distressed. In Him is a hiding place where you will feel secure and blessed. Blessed are those who trust in Him and look to Him for comfort. How I love the Lord and he is the nourisher of my soul. In Him alone I will trust and in Him alone is my hope. My faith is in the Lord and in Him I am content. All the vicissitudes of life cannot take away His love and peace from me. Fear the Lord and live as if it is your last day. He can remove your breath in a second. Who is there but the Lord and He is the breath of life. I will praise Him and cherish Him all the days of my life. In His courts will I dwell and His praises sing.

HOW GREAT THOU ART

What a God we worship. He is the Creator of the sun, moon and stars. As we gaze up we will see His handiwork and marvel at His works. How great is our God and greatly to be praised. Yet He made man and came down in the form of man and dwelt among us. What an act of humility to identify with the state of man and then to be crucified for his sins. Now I identify with His sacrifice on the Cross and am free. What greater love can a man show for another but in laying down his life for another. Scripture verses will flow through you as you allow the Holy Spirit to speak through you. It is His word that changes things. Yes things visible and invisible. Speaking forth His Word in faith will change the very state of your environment. Permeate your environment with love and the seeds of hate will wither and die. Only love can heal a broken heart. There is no other remedy for the works of darkness. This is why God had to come down in the form of man. Hallelujah I want to shout to out from the mountain tops that our God reigns.

CLEANSING IN THE BLOOD

God is at work in you. All you need to do is tune in to Him. He is available to all who will call on Him, the sinner and the saint. God is not partial to anyone. He judges by the heart and not on behaviour. The heart of man is wicked and has to be cleansed from all its evil intentions. Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse a man's heart. Man can accommodate to his sins but there is no deliverance from it. Man has pursued ways to overcome but only the cleansing blood of Calvary can cleanse it. Therefore surrender your heart to Him and be cleansed. Once cleansed you will feel a different person. Your thoughts and feelings will be different. The sins of the fathers will infiltrate the children. Therefore the children need to be cleansed as much as the fathers. Parents have a responsibility to cleanse themselves as they will then be channels of cleansing for their children. The seed cleansed is a wholesome seed. Sin has infiltrated all areas of life. All the vessels in the house need to be cleansed. In the ever living blood applied by the Holy Spirit cleansing will be possible. Never under estimate the power of the Spirit to cleanse and make whole. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain for the sins of the world.

FREE WILL

God's purpose in all creation is to create a community of love and not hate. Without the challenge of hate there would not be a contrast that can give love a platform for change. Jesus lived in an environment where he caused hate to be seen that led to His death on the Cross. On the Cross He displayed true love by willingly surrendering His life. His blood then was available for the cleansing of mankind from every form of hatred. Yet man rejected this and preferred to love in their own strength. God supplies His strength but man prefers to live life without God. He hates God and blames Him for all the evil. Satan is not recognised as the author of all evil. God created Satan and therefore he is to be blamed. Yet God gave all creation free will to choose and they chose to live life apart from Him. Living your life apart from God is evil. This is what Lucifer chose to do. In doing this he chose evil over good. Today you can choose to live according to God's will or your will. The choice is yours. Evil is ready and willing to usurp the place meant for God. In God's Kingdom righteousness and peace will rule. In Satan's kingdom strife and hatred will reign. Today cleanse your vessels and be united with His Spirit and drive out all the demons that have usurped your temple.

GIVING UP SELF

Giving up things for God is easy. Giving up self is hard. The disciples gave up everything but it was only after the death on the Cross that they despaired of everything and gave up themselves. Despair is a good thing if it leads to giving up self. Despair is the state of utter helplessness when only God can rescue you. When you despair of yourself then you will be able to hear God more clearly. When all other voices have died because self no longer relies on them, then God can come through. Self keeps listening to these other voices because they support the egoic self. When self is given up, then there is no internal agent to support these other voices. God's voice then comes through clearly. This is the key to a closer walk with God. In unison you will hear His voice and then you will desire to hear no other voice but His voice. Self is dead to the world and the things of the world. All those things that attracted you at one time don't have a sway over you any more. You are dead in Christ. The life you now live, by faith in the Son of God, who loves you and gave His life up for you. This is abundant living in the Son. This is the road to heaven.

FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS

Wisdom is given by God and it is wisdom that will guide your way. He is your wisdom. When you rely on Him who lives in you then He will guide you. Many things will happen around you but you must fix your mind on Jesus. When you fix your mind on Jesus then everything else will fall into place. This is a choice you have to make daily. This is like carrying your cross daily. Death to self is the only way to be happy in Jesus. The flesh is insecure and will want external things to feel secure. Your security is internal and in the spirit. Wherever you maybe your security comes in knowing Him and abiding in Him.There is no greater security then this. Praise God that He has chosen you to be His and now you can rest in His arms and be content. Contentment is a state of bliss. In it you will be able to surmount any mountain. The Lord is with you and His angels will guide you through each day. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

GOD'S VOICE

The Lord is good and He will speak through you and think through you. When you walk in the fullness of the Spirit you will be aware of the sound of His voice. His voice is gentle and there is no pressure in it. His voice appears to be external to your own voice. It is as if a third person is speaking. This is how you know it is His voice. When you feel agitated and under pressure then it is a sign that it is not His voice. His voice is calm and gentle and there is no pressure to do. When you feel the pressure then it is time to wait and see rather then rush into doing things. How good it is to know that He will commune with you at all times. When you don't hear Him and He appears to be silent then too is time to wait. He will come through at the right time. Wait and let Him lead you. You have surrendered all to Him and now you can sit back and rest. He has you in the palm of His hand. Rest in this position and you will feel His comfort and joy. The Lord is good and His mercy endures forever.

FIGHT IN HIS STRENGTH

God is in the midst of your trials and therefore you can be confident of a good outcome. He allows suffering and trials and brings it all together for your good. Therefore keep positive and see how he works the tapestry of your life and forms you into the person He created for good works. He has planted His seed in you and you can never move from Him. He is in you and He will never leave you. All you need to do is be aware of his presence. This will protect you from the fiery darts of the devil. He will embrace you with His love. His love is deeper then any human love. He expresses Himself through you. He expresses Himself through His thoughts, feelings and actions. What you feel is His feeling of compassion for mankind. He will cause you to seek for the lost and hungry. He will soften your heart and drive out all selfishness and hardness of heart. He will give you a new heart. Praise God who chooses and never abandons. In Him you can rest when the path gets rough. Fight the good fight and never relent. Fight in His strength. You will never grow weary and you will gain strength which will be renewed like the eagle.

WHAT IS YOUR TANK FULL WITH?

What have you filled your tank with? Worry and fear will manifest in different ways. When you fill your tank with good thoughts then goodness will manifest. What you fill your tank with is what will manifest in your life. Life is a spiritual walk. When you are filled in the spirit then your life will manifest spiritual fruits. Fruits are to be enjoyed by the giver and the receiver. When you are filled with love then you feel loved and will be loving. This is a principle of the Kingdom. All authority is given to you from heaven, now go and do. When Jesus left the earth He gave His disciples authority to do many things. He asked them to preach the gospel, heal the sick and rule on earth. All we have to do now is exercise this authority. Only authority that is exercised will produce results. You express this in word and deed. Imagine what this means when you know that you are living under His command. He will give you the words and the thoughts that will turn a situation round. The devil sows discord. Christ sows accord. There is no greater commission then the great commission.

INVEST IN THE TRUTH

Truth will finally win out. Therefore hold on to the truth for it will give you the hanging on power. Remember truth is eternal and therefore whatever may challenge it in an era will be reversed. Truth can never change. It can be compromised but never change. Why invest in the sale or counterfeit when the real is available. New Age is the devil's alternative to the truth. Mixed in is the truth which has been compromised. The devil is good at duplicity and imitating the real. It is an illusion. Fantasy and illusion promises you much but gives you nothing. Why invest in fantasy when all it gives you is temporary pleasure. You need to choose what is eternal. What is eternal is based on truth and not on lies. Don't give in to the temptation to invest in what is temporary. When you invest in what is eternal your life will take on an eternal quality. The fruits of the spirit are eternal. Love, joy, peace, these are qualities or values that last forever. Everyone desires love and joy but few experience it. This is because they have not invested in these virtues. Where your heart is, there your treasure is. Invest in God's Kingdom and reap a harvest of plenty.

BE A GIVER

Give and it will be given to you. This is a principle that works for all. A giver is a person who has found the secret to abundance. A miser will hold on because he believes his security is in hoarding things. A giver realises that all that is seen is temporary and therefore it is best to give away then hoard. A giver lives by faith for he believes all things come from God and not from man. A generous giver is even more blessed because generosity flows through his veins. He has learnt what it means to be poor and now wants to bless others. In every area of your life this principle will work, not just in material things. If you want more love then share more love. If you want more friends then be more friendly. It is better to give then to receive. God is a giver and He gave His greatest gift, His only begotten Son, Jesus. When you receive His free gift you receive eternal life. Now what greater gift is there then eternal life. Money cannot buy eternal life. Therefore give for this is the life style of the Kingdom of God.

FANTASY

Fantasy is the capacity of the mind to enter into wishful thinking. It is self indulgent and an escape into unreality. It serves to gratify the flesh which is condemned to die. Why waste your energy in fantasy when the end is death. People who indulge in fantasy live in a make believe world and not the real world. It is an escape like drugs are an escape into the nether world. Demons live in this world and you are open to their influence. Fantasy is a killer for it is an escape and not a solution to your problem situation. Imagination on the other hand is creative. Many confuse fantasy with imagination and vice versa. To be real is to be grounded in what is and not what was or will be. You are here now and you feel and think in the now. Fantasy is a creation of your fallen mind that seeks to escape from present reality. Fantasy can never replace reality. You can waste your life in fantasy and never really live. Many live in this unconscious world of fantasy. They try to make it a reality but it is never the same. Reality confronts whilst fantasy pretends. It is like building castles in the air. It vanishes as soon as you waken. It is like a dream state. Confront your fantasy with reality, that is, become conscious of it and you can cut it off.

PRAY IN TONGUES

Confuse the enemy by praying in tongues. This is a weapon God has given you to confuse the enemy. He cannot understand tongues and it is the language of the spirit. When you pray in tongues you actuality bypass the human mind. Tongue praying is spirit to spirit. It is heart to heart conversation with God. God hears and answers when you pray in tongues. It is like a morse code. Only the decoder is God. How wonderful an instrument is the tongue that it is able to verbalise a language from the spirit. Imagine a situation and pray in tongues over it. Ask for interpretation of the tongue so that your mind is able to understand what is being said. The enlightened mind can then consolidate in prayer what is prayed in tongues. All the other gifts of the spirit are stirred up when you pray in tongues. Prophecy, word of knowledge and headings. Thank you Lord for the gift of tongues. I now can pray over all situations in the perfect will of God as I pray in tongues. By faith I believe as I pray that God's will is being done on earth as it is in heaven.

IN JESUS ALONE

Mighty to save are you O Lord. In your hands are the victories of life. The forces of evil come against your children. You alone are able to save us from the evil one. Evil is so real yet truth is even more real. Light is brighter then darkness. Where darkness prevails death and destruction will prevail. Yet when people pray then the darkness is removed. God's people must pray and push back the forces of darkness. In Him alone is salvation. In Him alone darkness has been overcome. In Him alone was Satan defeated on the Cross. This is why there is no other way to be saved but through Him. Pray and prevail. As long as Moses prayed the enemy was not able to advance. This is the only way to overcome. In this rationalistic world darkness is seen as light. Satan presents himself as an angel of light. Death and disease are not of God. These are evils that we should not accept. God is eternal and He has given us eternal life. The body may die but the spirit lives on. Live in the spirit and crucify the flesh. This is the only way to live abundantly. All negativity must be laid down and crucified. There is no place for negativity in your life. Negativity will attract the demons. Send them to hell by calling on the Name of Jesus and be washed in His blood. The blood of Jesus cleanses like none other. In His blood is life. Let His blood flow through you and cleanse your body, mind and spirit.

BREAK THROUGH

Break through occurs when you shift your focus from what is to what will be. What is ,is your normal state of operation. What will be is a change of focus to a different dimension. When you shift from a physical dimension to a psychological dimension, that is a shift. When you shift from a head space to a heart space, that is a shift. Each shift brings in a different dimension and you see things differently from this dimension. What is 2 dimensional becomes 3 dimensional. What is a square becomes a circle. This kind of shifts in thinking enable you to break through to new ground. Practice thinking with your heart and see how your walk becomes different. You will see and hear things that you never knew possible before. It is like shifting gear from normal to sports mode. It becomes effortless and you are blessed because what you experience is fresh and new. This is the dimension you will grow into and as you grow all things around you will be affected. Deep within you, there is a river wanting to burst its banks and overflow through you. Tap into this river and be refreshed.

THINK WITH YOUR HEART

Think with your heart. How do you think with your heart? You listen and respond to what comes out from your heart. You stop reasoning with your head. You withhold your critical faculty of your mind. You look for spontaneous thoughts. These spontaneous thoughts bypass your mind. It is like praying in tongues. You don't think with your mind when you pray in tongues. Praying in tongues prepares you to tune into your heart. From your heart or spirit arises knowledge and wisdom from above. You connect with God's Spirit and He communicates with you through your spirit. God wants a heart relationship with you and not a head relationship. Head relationships do not last long. A relationship using your head alone is bound to fail in the long run. It is heart to heart communication that results in healthy relationships. When one communicates with the heart and the other with the head then a break down in communication occurs. Practice communicating with your heart and see how your relationships will grow and flourish like a well watered garden. Many fail in relationships because they fail to communicate at a heart level. Loving from the heart is different from loving from the head. Giving from the heart is different from giving from the head. Heart love produces a different kind of fruit from head love. Head love is dry and insipid. Heart love is juicy and refreshing. Fruit from the desert is different from fruit from the tropics. Imagine eating dried dates and juicy pineapples. Think with your heart and flourish.

HEARING HIS VOICE

The Father wants to commune with you and so hearing His voice is a must. There are so many voices and your moods are dependent on whose voice you hear. The Master's voice is always kind and reassuring and never condemning. His voice soothes you and encourages you. So whose voice are you hearing? If it is your voice then you are still overwhelmed by your ego. Your ego will only think of itself and its needs. The devil will always try and imitate God's voice but he is a liar and a deceiver. You know that because you don't feel right. Use your head and heart and you will find the truth. If your heart does not resonate with your head or vice versa then something is amiss. Learn to walk in unison and you will walk in peace. When you hear His voice your heart will leap for joy and your head will say amen. In the sprit realm it is important to discern whose voice you are hearing. Lord help me discern and cut off the voices that seek to destroy me.

ABUNDANT LIFE

God is with you and will direct you in your search for direction.He is with you and all you need to do is consult Him in all matters. Believe that He will reveal His mind to you. Wait till you hear His rhema word. Do not rush into things but wait. He is not limited by time and you should not be time limited either. In Him you too have eternal life. Your body may age and die but your spirit will live on. Therefore when you operate in the spirit you are operating with eternity in mind. Hold this perspective at all times and time will fade into insignificance. You are now free to live in a timeless dimension and so the stress of time keeping is removed. You now are able to take things as they come and do your best each day knowing that tomorrow is a new day. In God there are no days and nights. He is Lord of both day and night. He never sleeps. Live in the spirit and you will live like God. The material world will not affect you because you are connected more with the spirit world. Your spirit will rule your flesh and influence it. This is what abundant life means.

DESTINY ASSURED

Your destiny is assured and therefore everything that happens to you is carving you up for it. Don't resist what happens as in resistance you increase the push towards your destiny. Good and bad things happen and all these things unite to form your destiny. Nothing is lost in His cause. He is the controller of all things. The ying and the yang of life will happen as the balance will keep you on the straight and narrow path. When you pray you will not ask for the thing to be removed but that what it was sent for would bless you and keep you on the straight and narrow path. If there was no choice then we would be all like robots. It was in God's plan that evil would be present for this purpose that good would be seen for what it is. Without the darkness the light will not be needed. Darkness will be around you but you will still be the light that shines brightly in the darkness. When you can rest in the knowledge that your destiny is assured then you can accept all things that come your way. Nothing will be wasted. Everything will be assumed into the whole to make a beautiful tapestry of your destiny.

LOVE

When your tank is filled with love then all you see changes. It is the negative feelings that cloud your perception. Jesus was so filled with love that he could say forgive them for they know not what they do. Yes it is the same today. Many do not know what they do and only love can save them. Jesus knew that sin had so clouded consciousness and that His death was the only way to cancel the debt to sin. Sin is a slave driver and it will not bow to reason. Love is not based on reason but a decision. I will love as Christ loved and in this is the salvation of mankind from the ravages of sin. Love will never be a loss. Love will always win. You think you are losing but in the end you will win. Fight the war of hatred and evil with love. All your sins are covered in one word, love. Love God who fills you with His love and love others as you love yourself.

CHOICES

Sing aloud to the Lord for His grace and mercy surrounds you like a canopy. His grace is sufficient for me. But for His grace I am lost and by His mercy I have been found. God was merciful because He knew man had no hope of eternal life. Eternal life was present in the Garden but lost through sin. This sin continues to cause death and decay. God intervened and through His Son now sets us free from all condemnation. He has the final word. Man may rebel but God is merciful. Yet God's mercy too has a limit and that is conditional on receiving His salvation through His Son. Yet man rejects this as the only way. Adam and Eve had a choice and that choice remains to date. We can eat of the tree of life or the tree of death. We choose and God will honour our choice. Pray that many will make the right choice and believe.

POSSESSED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

What does it mean to be possessed by the Holy Spirit? To be possessed means to be fully occupied. Self must be crucified for full occupation. There cannot be 2 occupants at the same time. Either the Holy Spirit is in control or self. To be possessed is to be occupied by the Holy Spirit. Only total surrender to Him is able to avail this. As long as you are in the flesh you will shift your focus. It requires constant vigilance to stay focussed. Most of us are unconscious of what we do. We live our life on automatic pilot. We go about doing our daily business on automatic mode. Our mind is somewhere else while we drive. This is living in unconsciousness. We are programmed in a way that limits creativity. We live life controlled by our stories. We have stories of others too which boxes them in. We perceive our world through our lenses and think that is reality. Yet we know all that is an illusion. When we lose a sense we realise how much we are handicapped by the loss. That wakes us up to consciousness. Any dramatic change like a life event wakes us up. Change sometimes occurs only when events occur. Our natural tendency is to default to our set programme. In the Holy Spirit this can change. He takes over and He changes my outlook. He changes my programming and so I will see things and do things as Jesus did. I will do things as I see the Father doing. His works will I also do.

seeing with spiritual eyes

The Lord is your Saviour and your Maker. He knows everything about you. He has put His own Spirit within you. Now be filled and be possessed by His Spirit. This is your destiny and in this is your desire and hope. To be possessed by the Holy Sprit is to be set apart for Him and His works. He will manifest Himself through you by working through you. You will marvel at His works and give Him all the glory. Everything is an illusion for there is nothing real in what you see. It will be gone forever. What you see is what you see. Behind what you see is another reality of the spirit world which you do not see. When you begin to see in the spirit then what you see in the physical changes. This transformation occurs to enable you to do what you see the Father doing. This is what He did. He saw His Father doing and He followed Him. No more thinking and analysing, just doing what you see the Father doing. This is how you are meant to live but the flesh wants to be in control. Therefore you lead a life of the flesh and not of the Spirit. Open my eyes Lord that I may see you and do what I see you do.

CENTRE IN JESUS

When your focus is not on your centre, Jesus, then you will make yourself vulnerable to your circumstances. Circumstances change and if your centre is there then you also will change accordingly. When Jesus is your sure foundation then whatever changes around you will not disturb you. Jesus was in the boat sleeping and the winds came and the disciples shifted their focus and were frightened. Once they shifted their attention to Jesus then all they heard was a word from Him and the seas went calm. How centring enables you to influence your circumstances. But even if your circumstances do not change you can sleep like Jesus within a storm! This is the peace that passes all understanding. This kind of peace is supernatural. This world needs His peace. It is your responsibility to make His peace known to all.

PURPOSE

Purpose underpins goals. Goals are required for achievement. Without goals you hit at nothing. Have goals but it is your purpose that is the driver of your goals. Shoot goals for Christ by valuing what He values most, people. People come first in God's agenda. Everything else is secondary. You don't know what is hidden in a person waiting to be revealed. It is your task to encourage others to exercise their gifts. Gifts un exercised are like treasure buried in a cave. Such treasure is no use to anyone. Bring out your treasure and share it with others and see the kingdom of God established on earth as it is in heaven. God is at work in you. The more you surrender to Him. the more you will reflect His image in you. What is surrendered is committed to His cause. His cause is the salvation of men from the vilest to the brilliant.

KNOW HIM

Many will say Lord, Lord but He does not know them. Rituals and traditions cannot replace relationship. Man is satisfied from doing a ritual to calm his conscience. God wants a relationship and not just mechanical acts. These rituals were introduced to help people commune with God but they have replaced a relationship with God. To know Him is to love Him. This relationship is based on love. God wants willing obedience not blind obedience. God wants His people to come to Him by faith knowing that he is who He says He is. He is the Creator of the whole Universe. All the stars and galaxies are His handwork. Yet He has chosen to have a relationship with man who He created in His own image. In His image we are made and so we have the same make up as God. This is why we can imagine and be creative. Animals can't do this. Come to Him and be blessed and empowered to love the lost into the Kingdom of God.

HOPE

Hope gladdens the heart like no other value. Hope believes and expects the impossible. God is the author of hope. He put this value in us so that we can expect the best from Him. He is the author of eternal life. This is a life that has no beginning and no end. It is a life giving, joyful, vibrant life that lives in the now and for the now. It has no worries about the future because life is eternal. Why worry about the future for the future is eternal. It is the fear of death that leads to a hopeless life. Eternal life cancels the fear of death. Many die daily because they have lost hope. Their hope in eternal life needs to be restored to them. There is hope in Jesus because He is eternal and rose from the dead thus conquering the last enemy, death. No sickness or disease is able to resist the hope of eternal life. This life will expel all sickness and disease. It is His life in you that matters now and for eternity. Hallelujah.

MAN HAS MADE GOD A THING

Many are the woes of those who refuse the hand of the Lord and follow their own whims. In this they reject what God has revealed and go their own way just as Adam did. So many have to learn the hard way that the ways of the world lead to death. Money cannot buy your salvation, only faith in the finished work on the Cross. This is the battle that is raging in the world today. Money is determining many decisions and God is replaced by money. Yet we know money is just a vehicle and not the end. It is the means to an end and not the end. In putting your faith in money you reduce everything into a commodity with a value. God is also reduced to a thing. We make idols of God so that we can control Him. Yet He stands wanting to have a relationship with us. He has chosen to come and live within us but we reject Him. God created man in His own image. Now man wants to create God in his own image. What a upside down view the creation has of the Creator. In this is the fall seen and God sees this and His heart is grieved. Come to your Maker and be blessed.

JOY

Happiness is a state of mind. Joy is a state of the heart. Joy is constant while happiness is usually a result of a happy happening. Joy bubbles over and is a result of a commitment. He gives me joy and it overflows my whole being. Everything in me wants to shout for joy because He lives and breathes through me. I am so grateful to Him who calls what is dead to life. He is the resurrection and the life. In Him all have breath. All creation groans and waits for deliverance from the pain of life. Yet He is there through your pain and suffering. He identifies with our suffering so that we are not alone when we go through it. He is there in our up times and down times. He is the joy that flows when all else stops. Jesus first, Others second, Yourself last is the theme that should resonate all through life and heaven will be the same.

ANGELS

God's angels will help you in your time of need. There is very little teaching on the ministry of angels. Yet the Bible clearly teaches on their role in helping us. Being aware of angels enables you to seek their help for your needs. Angels will take your requests and get them answered. Angels are ministering spirits and they will minister to those you pray for. Therefore become conscious of angels. They have been sent to help you and to fight for you. They will fight against principalities and powers of the kingdom of darkness that have been sent to frustrate your plans. Angels bring the light to dark places. They minister to your spirit. These unseen beings are with you all the time even when you go astray and sin. Develop the habit of calling on them for help.

YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and not in his own abilities. Your abilities are given to you by God. It is up to you to develop them. It is like the man who had money but decided to bury it rather then to invest it. Investing it made it grow. So also God has given you abilities that need to be applied to bear fruit. Doing nothing will bring you nothing. Therefore sow your seed and in time it will bring forth a harvest. If you choose to sow love and understanding then this is what you will reap. If you sow in dollars then this what you will reap, dollars. This principle applies in all aspects of life, what you sow you will reap. If you sow envy and jealousy then this is what you will reap. Choose to sow love and peace and you will reap the same. It begins with one and the same seed you sow will spread around and bring forth abundant fruit.

THE OVERCOMER LIVES IN YOU

When you operate in the Holy Spirit then you know of a power beyond your own. WHen you walk by faith there is a power released that will enable you to overcome every weakness. You can operate in your own strength or in the strength of power from above. YouR whole being will be empowered when you operate in heavenly power. There is nothing that can cancel the power from on high. All powers and principalities were subjected to Him at the Cross. He cancelled their power and rose from the dead. Any power that can overcome death has the power of life. Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy but God comes to give life. Therefore when you are connected to God, you are connected to His power of life. This world is dying and there is no hope for a dying world. All you see around you is disaster, death and terror. These forces cause fear in the hearts of people. They die through their fear. Fear kills. Love builds and repairs and restores. Replace all fear with faith and love and be a overcomer. You can overcome because the overcomer lives in you.

WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS

Jesus sacrificed His life on the Cross. We are called to sacrifice self on the Cross daily. This is the only way to be filled in the Spirit. Self will always want first place. Selfishness is ingrained in our psyche. We must surrender self to Him. In surrendering self we commit our body and soul to Him. This is the flesh life that threatens our spirit. Our spirit must have dominion and not our flesh. It is our will that needs to decide to sacrifice self. The Holy Spirit will help us when we call on Him to help us. Our flesh is weak but our spirit is strong. Don't give into the flesh for this is sin. God demands a total sacrifice of your self. There is no other way to have power with God. Satan and his demons will conspire to make your flesh strong and give into temptation. Check your thoughts and turn them away from fleshly distractions. The desires of the flesh will fuel your thoughts. When you are able to rein in your fleshly thoughts then you are able to control your fleshly desires. Pray much in the spirit to empower your spirit. In the spirit you will receive spiritual thoughts that will enable you to overcome your flesh. Identification with fleshly thoughts will result in sinful acts. Distance yourself from your fleshly thoughts. You will then be able to see them as thoughts and not identify with them. Identification leads to personalisation which then deprives you of control over them. Watch your thoughts.

BASE DESIRES

Blessed is the man who loves the Lord and seeks to serve Him with all His heart.David was such a man despite the failings of his flesh. His heart was for the Lord but his sinful nature lusted after sensual experience. Lust is a driver and will drive you to madness. It is fired up by hell itself. This is why you find many people who have worked hard and been honourable fall because they gave into a weakness in a time of vulnerability. When lust takes over you it is best to share with others then to keep it secret. Lust thrives in darkness. It loses its power in the light. Never give into lust for its is a hard task master. It will reduce you to a regressed state and you will function like an animal. All the base desires of the flesh are vile and will reduce you to a state of a lower creature. Guard your thoughts and feelings for your destiny lies in controlling your base desires. Surrender them to Jesus. Call on His Name and He will rescue you. You cannot do it on your own for they have a power that is fuelled from hell itself. Only the Spirit in you can overcome and set you free from its power.

SPIRIT WORLD

Many are coming to the Lord but few are being taught how to live in the Spirit. Living in the Spirit is the only way to sustain the spiritual life. In the Spirit your spirit communes with His Spirit and together you are able to grow in the gifts and fruits of the Spirit. A spiritual life cannot be sustained through a lot of intellectual exercise alone. Knowledge is important but it is the rhema word of God that feeds the spirit. The word can be read like any other word and gives intellectual stimulation but it is all head knowledge. Faith is based on heart knowledge. Heart knowledge results in manifestations of the spirit. Manifestations of the spirit can be in dreams and visions and other gifts of headings and miracles. This is what the Kingdom of God is all about. Trying to translate what is spiritual into form is impossible without the Spirit. Only the Spirit is able to transcend the world of form. Man can try in his own efforts but without the Spirit he will never reach the dimension of the spirit. The spiritual dimension is accessible only through the Spirit. Just as the physical world is sensed through your senses so also the spirit world is sensed through your spiritual senses. You can touch, see and hear and receive knowledge and wisdom from the Spirit. It is in this world that the Kingdom of God is established. Those who are spiritual will know and operate in this dimension.

FAITH

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord whole heartedly. Trust is a matter of the heart and not of the head. The heart intuits and believes while the head analyses and discriminates. Heart believe is based on faith. This does not mean that facts are ignored. Faith based on facts is the foundation of the christian faith. Jesus did die on the Cross. He did rise from the dead. He did ascend into heaven. He will come back again. All these are facts and your faith is based on these events and the person who claims He is the only way, truth and life. He promised to send His Holy Spirit and He lives in you. This is a fact and can be experienced now as the disciples did 2000 years ago. Faith based on facts has a solid basis for believe. Faith based on myth and fables will die with the founder. Therefore believe and be restored in your faith to receive all He has prepared for you. Without faith it is impossible to please God. God operates in the realm of faith. Faith empowered by the Spirit can achieve anything. It takes risks because it has heard the Master's voice. You will do exploits in His Name and no adversary can stand in your way.

JESUS THE ONLY WAY TRUTH AND LIFE

The Lord is God and there is no other God but the Lord. He is and was and evermore will be God. He cannot be reduced to a thing to be worshipped. He is above all and in all and He has revealed Himself in His Son Jesus. What more can God do to reveal who He is but to send His Son in human form to enable man to believe in Him. He has through the ages revealed Himself to many but ultimately through sending His Son to die for the sins of man. Now all there is left for man to do is to receive the revelation of the Word of God. In receiving Him you receive eternal life. Life in the Son is eternal life. Jesus gives His life in exchange for yours. Your life is limited and earthly. Your spirit lives on into eternity whether in hell or heaven. The choice is yours here on earth. All other ways point to the Son but is not the way. Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life. Therefore if any man believes in Him, he will be saved from eternal damnation. Open your eyes and see the King coming soon to receive you. He came as a gift and now He will come again to take possession. Worship Him who was and is and is to come. Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

FREE YOURSELF OF YOUR PAST

Operate each day as if there was no yesterday. In this way you wipe your slate clean from past grievances and operate each day as if there was no yesterday. You see each person in a new way with no history attached. Your story is new each day and you are not encumbered with the past. To live this way is to move in the Holy Spirit who operates in the now. In this way you don't operate in defensive ways and operate in the past or the future but in the present. The present is all there is and therefore all your senses and perceptions are influenced by what is and not what was. Too many people are caught up in their past that there is no time for the present. Their past influences their present and distorts the present. Past grievances distort the present and therefore everything is tarnished by the past. There is no room for change because the past controls the present. The past cannot be cut loose and one is stuck in the past. The only way out of this trap is to live each day as a new day free from all the past. See each person in a new light not tarnished by the past. In this way you will look for change and expect change. Relationships will be renewed and refreshed. You will feel like a new person and not one carrying the burdens of the past on your shoulders. Life is an illusion and all you can do is live life today.

WELCOMING THE SUPERNATURAL

Praise God from whom all mercies flow. Praise him all heavenly hosts. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. He is worthy to be praised who was and is and is to come. God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. When you are connected to Him then you will see what works He performs. In God you are able to do and expect the miraculous. Without Him you operate in the realm of the natural. With Him you operate in the realm of the supernatural. God works His wonders to perform. He is marvellous in all His works. He will supernaturally invade your life and perform works of healing and miracles. You will stand back in awe at His wondrous works. Your perceptions will change and you will see others as God sees them. You will expect Him to work and intervene in your daily life. There will be the miraculous that invades your daily walk. You are walking in the Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. You welcome the spirit world into your daily walk. Now you are able to do the impossible and expect the impossible. What was appears as if it was no more. He will wipe away all your tears and give you joy. Praise Him all day and night and be at peace.

SPIRIT FILLED WORDS

God works in ways beyond our comprehension. We work according to the laws of nature. God works above those laws. When we are in communication with Him, then He reveals His mind to us. It may seem impossible but God operates in the realms of the impossible. Therefore be excited and see what God has prepared for you as you walk in His Spirit. We are called to be filled in the spirit and to walk in the spirit. This is a different dimension to walking according to the flesh. The flesh will follow the spirit. When you pray you operate in the spirit. In prayer you receive His words and speak it forth and this word then goes forth and performs. The spirit carries the spoken word and the angels and all the ministering spirits then perform the word you have spoken. God made the whole world through the spoken word. Your words are powerful to build up or tear down. As you speak believe what you speak and it will be done.

FREEDOM

God is looking for a people who are surrendered to Him so that He can work through them freely. Many call Him Lord but never mean it. To acknowledge Him as Lord means total surrender in word and deed. This is a high calling and only a few will do it. To obey His call is to be free. This freedom is not cheap. Jesus died daily so that was His preparation for His death on the Cross. To die daily to your selfish thoughts and desires and wishes is the only way to live in total freedom. You know this in your head but till it is in your heart you will never know the meaning of true freedom. Decide today to live only for the Lord and you will have a taste of what it means to be free.

MAN MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD

Man was made to worship God. God made man to worship Him. Man is a creation of God. The creation was made to worship Him. In the garden of Eden man was in complete union with God. There was no separation between man and God. All creation was one and there was no fear. It is this unity that God seeks with man. This is possible now in Christ Jesus. He broke the veil that separated man from God. Now it is possible to walk in unity. The union between man and God results in man having authority over all creation. A man completely united with God has an authority on earth like God. God gave Adam complete authority because He was made in the image of God. An image is a reflection of what is. Man made in the image of God is a reflection of God. This is the perfection with which man was made. Jesus came in the form of man to suffer and die for the sin of man. In Jesus now man is free from the sin that Adam committed. The sin that so controlled man born in sin is now broken. This is the good news of the gospel that all mankind must hear. The deliverance is near and it only takes a step to enter into the inheritance.

GOD'S WAY

Many are the sorrows who walk in the ways of man. The ways of man produce strive and confusion. The ways of God are clear and produce abundance. Your soul was made for God. When you transgress God's laws then you reap the fruits of the transgression. You were created by God for God and only when you fit in with His programme will you bear His fruits. The devil was sent to confuse you and to rob you of your inheritance. God has sent His angels to protect you and to fend off the fiery darts of the devil. Jesus had to contend with this on earth. He prevailed because He sort to please His Father in all things. Even on the Cross when His Father turned His face away He was true to Him. Therefore keep His face before you at all times and you will never have to face the devil. He will face the devil for you. This is the only way to live a life of holiness before the Lord. No amount of confession will do it. It is His righteousness that has been imputed to you. He paid the price and now you are free.

WHAT ABOUT SIN?

Sin is sin , is sin, is sin. There is no such thing as small sin and big sin in God's sight. Sin is sin, is sin. He calls our righteousness as filthy rags. So much for our competition as I am better then you. No one is better as we are all sinners. When you come to this place then you appreciate that only Christ's sacrifice is sufficient for your righteousness. Then you know beyond a shadow of doubt that Christ had to die that we maybe saved. It is finished were His last words. It really means He finished that work for me and you. Now there is no more work to do. All I have to do is to surrender to Him and He does the rest. It is His Spirit that prays through us and works through us. When we come to this place then living water will flow through us and refresh us and others. This is what abundant living is all about. There is enough and more for all as Christ died for all. You will only be blessed and not deprived when another is blessed. This is the Good News of the Cross. There is more then enough, so share His love with others today.

MY HIDING PLACE

He is my hiding place. Though I walk through the valley of death He is with me. His rod and staff comfort me. He leads me beside still waters and my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life. What promises and assurances that must be burnt into our hearts so that we will always remember his faithfulness. This is the inheritance of those who are called and belong to Him. What greater insurance policy will you need? The Lord is your Protector and in Him there is no ifs or buts. His promises are yes and amen. Therefore if that is where your heart is then that is where your treasure is. No matter where you are or what you are going through you can be sure He is there with you. Even when you don't feel Him, remember He maybe carrying you and all you can see is His foot steps.Dig deep into His Word and you will always find rest for your soul.

HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS HAS BEEN IMPUTED ON ME.

I am a sinner saved by the grace and mercy of God. His righteousness is imputed on me by His sacrifice on Calvary. Now I am free from the guilt and power of sin. I stand righteous on the finished work of Christ on the Cross. Now I am free to be because all my burdens were lifted on Calvary. I am no longer a sinner in the eyes of God but a saint. He sees me as a blood washed son and not a sinner. I must now walk in the righteousness of Christ and not slip back to the old sin filled life of my past. Now this is the battle I have to fight daily because I am still in the flesh. One day I will be totally free from this conflict when I am with Christ in heaven. Jesus had to fight the same battle because He was a man. He experienced the same temptations of the flesh but was sinless. It is because of His sinless sacrifice that I can now claim His righteousness as mine. Now I have access to the Holy of holies because the curtain has been torn down and the veil that separated man from God has been lifted. This is the good news of the gospel and everyone needs to hear it and be saved. There is nothing else in life more important then this message of salvation. Many have tasted it and fallen again because they have tried to work out their salvation through the flesh. Only the Spirit can do it as I surrender all to Him. Thank you Jesus.

HE IS ALIVE

He is alive and He is able to talk to you anywhere, anytime. What a comforting thought that he lives. We worship a living God. He hears our prayers. He knows our needs. He is with me all the time even when I don't acknowledge Him. He is a loving Father and His Spirit keeps me whole. He is with me and desires to walk and talk with me. He is everything to me. He is my counsellor and my friend. Friendship with the Lord is like no other. He comes and anoints me and my cup overflows with joy. He gives me strength when I am weak. I am a sinner and He imputes His righteousness on me. What a gospel we have, that when we were yet sinners He died for us. Now I can stand in His righteousness and I am whole in Him. I want to shout this from the roof tops that He is alive and because He lives I have hope for tomorrow.

WINNING TEAM

God is able to do much more then you can think or imagine. He is God and you are His creation. He works through you to enable you to glorify His works through you. All you need to do is surrender to Him and he will work through you. God is able and He enables you to do what you thought was impossible. This is the partnership that will work and produce much harvest for the Kingdom. God sent His Holy Spirit for this purpose. He sent His Son, Jesus, to free you from sin so that He can work through you. God worked through Jesus when He walked on earth. Now He works from Heaven to fulfil the rest of His mission through you. God is looking for an army that will rise up and conquer the world for Him. Your enemy, the devil, will try and discourage you but God is above all. His people need to know that He lives in them and therefore the enemy has no chance of winning. You are on the winning team. God and you are a winning team. Therefore go forth and light up the world and be a blessing today.

FATHER GOD

How good it is to know the Father God and to know His presence with you all the time. In sickness and in health He is with you. He knows your every need and cares for you. He provides for you. In fact you can live life by just knowing He is near. He fills you with love and peace and there is no fear in it. His presence is so real that you can feel him. No amount of money can buy His presence. You have to experience this through faith. Believe He is and you will experience Him. He is closer to you then the one you love. He is Abba, Father. When you are alone you will experience His presence even closer. It is during the alone times that he appears closer then at other times. You can expect him to speak to you. I am writing what he is communicating to me through my thoughts. They are spontaneous thoughts that flow through me as I write. I am not thinking these thoughts. They flow through me just as water flows through a pipe. It is so blessed to give and just as water flows through a pipe, so also He flows through you. All you are is a vessel for His thoughts to flow through you. You can speak them out or write them. They will bless you and others. Now you realize that you are here not for yourself but to glorify him. He just wants to commune with you and through you to bless the world. Therefore surrender to His Spirit and be blessed.

How thin is the veil that separates us from the spirit world. Once we enter into that world we confront a different reality. The world of form keeps us fixed on our senses and reality is interpreted through our senses and our interpretation of the same. In the spirit world there is a different sense perception and there is no interpretation based on your story. In the spirit world all is love and peace. There is no sin to tarnish what you sense. God lives in this realm. What peace and love surrounds you and this is truly what nirvana is all about. You can travel freely without fear because love is so powerful to overcome all fear. in this world there is so much negativity and needs a lot of love to overcome fear. fear rules in the heart of man. His only escape is to enter into the realm of the spirit. In the spirit you can overcome anything because God is with you. He abides in you and you abide in Him. Therefore seek to abide in Him and find rest for your soul.

SURRENDER ALL TO HIM

All things work together for good to them who love God and are called according to His purpose.What a powerful promise for those who love God. He is in control and therefore you can be assured that he will not allow any harm to happen to you. What appears to be harmful will turn out to be helpful. God is above all. We see in part dimly but he knows the end from the beginning. In him all things that happen to you will work out for good. The key is to surrender all things to Him. He can turn your mourning into dancing. Imagine many mourned when Lazarus died but Jesus enters the scene and raises him to life. This is our God who works wonders in times of distress. Therefore surrender all to Him and see how your day will turn into joy.

OPERATING IN THE SPIRIT

Arise and be counted for the Lord is with you. He has called you to possess the land. Think about this, that the Creator of the Universe has chosen to dwell in you. You are a spirit being and God is spirit and you abide in Him Abiding in Him makes you one with him. Now in him you can imagine anything and His creative power will go to work to manifest it. This is how the Kingdom works through faith imagination. You have all you need to lead a victorious life. All you need to do is walk in His presence. In the spirit you are operating in the formless and are not limited by the world of form. Your flesh will indulge in thE world of form but your spirit works through the formless. Once you have tasted the formless world of the spirit you are open to the world of the impossible. Men who have enTERED this world have performed beyond their human ability. Now rise up and enter this world and be at rest.

OPERATING IN THE WORLD OF THE SPIRIT

Set apart for the Holy Spirit to possess me for His service. This is the cry of my heart. The world of form takes so much of our time and attention that we lose years in wasteful activity. The world of the formless is the world of the Spirit. In this world there is a depth of knowledge and wisdom that surpasses anything in the world of form. We are all led by our senses and our senses demand attention. However when we enter into the world of the formless it brings in a new era of excitement and adventure which leaves the world of form behind. This is a world of excellence and a world of the Spirit that brings new dimensions to living in abundance. In the world of the Spirit there is a life that is one with God and all creation. There is a different sense and a peace that passes all understanding. It affects your perception and you are living in the now rather then the past or the future. You have been freed from the prison of past programming into a life of present knowing. This is to live a life free from the worries of the world. There is no fear only love. Love pervades your whole being and you respond rather then react to everything around you. Your ego dissolves and is replaced by the Spirit. This is what some call nirvana. Oh how blessed it is to operate in this realm all the time. it is possible only in the Spirit.

GOD IS GOD

The Lord is God and there is no other on earth or in heaven. There are many gods that are worshiped because man was made to worship. Man created a god of convenience to do at his bidding. This is man's way of controlling god to fit in with his desires and wants. God cannot be reduced to the size of man. God is beyond comprehension for He is the creator of all things. Man desires to control everything and in this is his downfall. God controls everything and it is to man's doom that he wants to be god. This was the problem from the beginning of time. Satan wanted to be like God and so he fell and with his fall everything fell. Before man was created sin already existed and since then it has always been a matter of choice. We can choose to follow Satan or God. We have to make these daily choices and in this lies our destiny. God has given us His holy Spirit to make the right choices. Be filled in His Spirit and he will help you make the right choice. This is His calling and He will do it.

GLORIFY HIM

Man was made for this one purpose, to glorify God. God is in you and around you. He operates through you. When you come to this realization then you become like Him. Jesus was like Him on earth and you are called to be like Jesus on earth as He is in heaven. This may sound impossible but this is possible in Jesus. Jesus full of the Holy Spirit walked on earth as sinless man. He was sinless because he was not born in sin. Yet he bore our sins on his body on the tree and died a death that sets me free to be like Him on earth as He is in heaven. All that hinders me now is my consciousness. When I am conscious of his presence then I am operating like Him. Many times I am so taken up with earthly matters that I fail to walk in His presence. God created me and I am created for His purpose. All mankind and all creation was created for this one purpose,to glorify Him. Therefore glorify Him today in all your ways and see how you will operate in power.

SINLESS PURITY

The Lord causes you to manifest in thought His mind on mAtters that concern life and living. His words pour out through you as you open up to him and act as a channel for Him. We are all channels for Him to manifest His works. He works through all creation. Those who are open to him will manifest goodness and holiness. Never reject any of His creation. His creation is marred by sin but that does not mean that they are less then perfect in His sight. God does not see sin for He is holy. He sees you through His blood and so in Him you are sinless. His blood shed on Calvary enables Him to see you as you are , a perfect creation. This is how God sees you. You must see yourself as God sees you. As you walk in the light as He is in the light then the blood of Jesus cleanses you from all sin. In this sinless state anything is possible. This is the state of sinless purity which is the state in which God resides. You are able to be in this state only because of His blood. His blood is alive and powerful and cleanses you continuously. This is the everlasting sacrifice purchased at Calvary for you. What a wonderful transaction was made and now you can enjoy the privilege of this transaction now and for eternity. Sinless perfection is your destiny and it begins now. In this state it is impossible to sin. When you are conscious of this state then you have transferred to a different dimension of operation in the spirit. This is the realm of miracles.You have moved from the world of form to the formless where the spirit is. Your spirit joins with His Spirit and you are one just as the Father and the Son are one.

SEPARATlON AND DlVORCE

Separation and divorce are evils that arise from the pit. The devil seeks to steal, kill and destroy and anyone who participates in these evils are the devil's agents. Sexual immorality many times is the cause of this and is condemned by God. Any sexual perversion including homosexuality is condemned by God. Sin distorts the perception of evil. When society shuns the word of God then evil will creep in and darkness will cloud the minds of men. Evil is so devoius that it has many faces. Like a carmellion it manifest its face in darkness. Why does evil operate in darkness? Because it likes to hide its works from the light. Men who walk in darkness are blinded by the light. Illicit drug also promote the works of darkness. Therefore walk in the light as He is in the light.

THE WORD OF HlS POWER

Meditate on His word day and night. His word is the source of your life. In His words are contained the oxygen for your soul. Like blood that feeds your organs so is the word for your soul. In His word lies the power of God to transform your inner being. It is God's thought in written form. Imagine the power contained in His word to change. When His word penetrates your soul it releases benefits untold. It is health to your body and your soul. If man's word has such power then imagine what God's word can do. Your destiny lies in His word to you today. Abide in me.

PROMISES OF GOD

All things work for good to those who love God. What a priceless promise. God's promises are yes and amen and cannot be reversed. When you receive His promise by faith then you can expect a result. Promises are to be received by faith. They are the grist to the mill of faith. Faith is the station where promises are milled and the product is produced for consumption. Put your faith in action on the promises of God rather then your own thoughts and opinions of man. In this way you train your brain to expect what God says then what man says. The doctor says impossible, God says anything is possible. Who do you believe? This is the acid test of faith. Both are right in their own knowledge but faith believes in the goodness of God then the knowledge of man. Come now and trust God and see all your fears and worries melt in His presence. Rejoice and be glad when troubles come, for God is with you and victory is assured. Thank you Lord for your promises.

YOUR FAITH BEING TESTED

Happy is the man who trusts in the Lord and not in his own strength. A man who trusts in the Lord is a man who can stand any trial because His faith will hold him up. The Lord is with you always. He is a armor around you and He lives in you. His Spirit in you is your hope of salvation. His Spirit in you will keep you sane when everything around you is crumpling.This is the faith that kept the saints alive when they went through fiery trials. This is the kind of faith that will be the trophy you bring to Him when you appear before His throne of mercy and grace. There is nothing else you can bring to Him on that day but your faith. Your faith is what God is strengthening at this time. Through all the troubles you have gone through and are going through it is your faith that is being tried. Just as gold is purified so also your faith is purified till it is as pure and as tough as gold. Trust Him at all times and do not let the enemy steal what is yours. Thank you Lord for sending your Spirit who dwells within me to help me be the man you have called me to be.

TODAY

Today is the only day you have to live for. Tomorrow is just a dream. Yesterday has past and gone forever. Living in the Spirit is to live each day as the last day of your life. What is done is done. What has happened has happened. You can't go back and change it. All you can do is make a better day today. Living in the now is the only way to live a full life in the Spirit. Yesterday was a good day but today will be better. Each day as you live for this day, life will take a new direction. All you can do is sow and leave the rest to God. In Him you have all wisdom and knowledge to do and say the right thing. Do not waste your time in vain imaginations for this will sap you of strength. Focus your thoughts on God's words and you will find strength to carry on. Life in the now enables you to focus all your energies in the now and get the best from it. Your old pattern is to let the old dominate your present. Now shift your focus and stay fixed on the now and be set free from the guilt of the past and the fears of the future. God is in the now because He s eternal.

TRIAL OF FAITH

Prepare for the days ahead are going to be difficult. The tempter is going to tempt you in various ways but you must fix your mind on Jesus. He is within you to help you when you go through these distressing periods. It is not easy for anyone at this this time but the Lord is with you and will help you. Be steadfast in your commitment to Him and He will see you through. The darkness is part of the course. Think of those who have endured more then what you are going through. Know that you will come through this even a better person. God is working things out in you and so you can rejoice in times of trouble. The trouble itself is not to be welcomed but the trial of faith will make you stronger. In this you can be assured that your faith is the only thing that can hold you up during these times. So pray for mercy and be encouraged.

THE CROSS

To keep oneself fixed on God will enable one to be whole and secure in His love. No greater love is there then the one who died for you so that you can be free from the power and guilt of sin. Sin is as real as your body and will violate every area of your life and pollute it. God knew that man was helpless in his sinful state. The power of sin is so real that no man can overcome it. Man has tried to overcome it through self flagellation and by flogging themselves to death. Yet sin has a power more then man can bear. This is why God sent His own Son to die on the Cross to set man free from its power and guilt. Now man is free to be as the Cross has set Him free from the power and guilt of sin. Yet sin has blinded man to this simple remedy for sin and he still works to rid himself of it. It is only the grace of God that can reveal the mystery that has been revealed to the sons of man through the ages. Lord have mercy and open the eyes of man that they may see and believe and be set free. The battle is not with flesh and blood but with principalities and powers that rule the world. Now rise up and move in the power of God to subdue the enemies of your soul and be victorious.

LISTENING FOR HIS VOICE

What comfort there is in hearing God's voice. To hear His voice amidst all other voices is rest for the soul. His voice is different because it just revives your soul. It is not positive thinking. It is a voice that you hear from heaven and it has a different quality to it. When you hear His voice you realize you are not alone. You have a Comforter and He comes in at the right time to lift you up and assure you of His love. His voice bring new wisdom and revelation. There are so many voices you hear in your head but His voice comes from the heart. You still hear through the same channel but the voice has a comforting and distinct quality to it. It is as if you are hearing it for the first time because it is fresh and different from all other voices. You yearn to hear His voice like a deer that thirsts for water in a desert place. You wait to hear His voice come through when you are bombarded by your own thoughts. You realize quickly that it is so easy to be lost in your own thoughts and never hear His voice. However when you are determined to hear His voice then He comes through so clearly you can't miss it. Thank you Lord you are so real and I look to you for daily manna to feed my soul.

CONFIDENCE IN THE LORD

Confidence in the Lord and in His plans for you is what will see you through trouble times. Look back to see His faithfulness. Look forward to the great things He has planned for you. You never got to where you are alone. The Lord was with you all the way. Thank Him for all that has happened and be glad. You can rejoice in all circumstances and situations for your confidence is in Him. This is what it means to live in abundance. The abundance mentality comes from a intimate relationship with the Lord. Jesus cried on the Cross but rested knowing it was His Father's will. Contentment is great joy for those who rest in His will. Not my will but yours be done must be your daily song. This will remove all cares and worries and you will enjoy the present moment fully. All your cares will be wiped out and you will shine like the noon day sun. Transparency will reflect the image of Christ in you and others will be warmed by His presence in you. It is your ego that prevents others from seeing me in you. Death to the ego will open up and let His gifs and fruits flow through you.

ONLY TOTAL SURRENDER WILL DO

Only total surrender can avail total possession. The key to total possession is total surrender. A well that is empty can be filled. When you empty yourself of self then you are ready for a infilling. A well that is filled will overflow to blessing. This is the only way to please God. Jesus lived a crucified life and ended at the Cross. He had already emptied Himself when He left His position in heaven and took the form of man. Now He lives to fill everyone else with His Spirit. His Spirit is freely available to all but only some will avail of Him. He is roaming the earth to fill all who will empty themselves. The world will hold no more attraction. Yes the flesh will lust after things but this will be temporary. These lusts only serve the flesh and not the spirit. Fix your mind on this one thing, to be filled with God's Spirit. Then this one thing will possess you and turn you into a mighty vessel of God.

POSSESSED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

Possessed by the Holy Spirit is the state of true Pentecost. To be possessed by the Holy Spirit is to be totally controlled by Him in thought, word and deed. This possessed state is a continual state and not one that comes and goes. All you need to do is surrender to Him and He will do the rest. It all comes down to your will. Are you prepared to surrender your will and say 'Not my will but yours O Lord'. This is the only state that really will bring heaven down to earth. When Jesus said those words on the Cross He brought heaven down to earth. It is a clash of 2 Kingdoms, the Kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of hell. Jesus came to usurp power from Satan and bring heaven to earth. Now you can live a heavenly life when you surrender all to Him. It is so simple yet so profound. This is all that is necessary and this is why only the Holy Spirit can enable you to attain this. It is not by works but by His Spirit alone. Which spirit are you enabling today? The worldly satanic spirit or God's Spirit. I choose to be filled in His Spirit.

WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE

His blood and His Word and His Holy Spirit are sufficient witnesses to His life. The word of your testimony and the blood of the Lamb are the weapons of your warfare. When you live in enemy territory then you need weapons to defend and to fight the enemy. The enemy of your soul is spiritual not psychological. The psychological is a surface phenomenon just like the physical. A headache is just a physical symptom of an attack. Your body was made for health and not sickness. Sickness is an attack of the evil one to discourage you. Pain in any form is evil for you were not born to live in pain. Therefore face every sickness and disease and stress as an attack of the enemy on your soul. Divorce is an attack. Conflict is an attack. The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Anything that is not these is not of God. Conflict, stress and unhappiness is not of the Kingdom of God. Therefore face the enemy by using your spiritual weapons and see the enemy flee. His blood is sufficient for every sin and His Word is the supplier of all your needs. When you receive in the spirit then you will receive in the form by faith. When you receive healing in the spirit you receive healing in the flesh.

POSSESSION

The Holy Spirit wants 100% possession of you. Anything less will make you vulnerable to oppression from within. He wants to possess you so that He can work through you. Imagine the potential within you when you surrender all to Him. Your surrender will translate to His possession. He can only possess what you surrender to Him. He will take your marriage when you surrender to Him. He will purify the relationship and keep it secure in Him. He will not allow the enemy to infiltrate it. What God has joined let no man put asunder and that includes the marriage partner. God is at work in you to bring you to a place of total surrender. It is your own ego that prevents Him from completely possessing you. Kill your ego and see how easy it is to surrender to Him. Your ego wants its own way and will refuse to surrender. To surrender is to be detached from your ego and the world around you. This is the place of perfect peace and joy. In this state nothing will phase you. You are in heaven seated with Christ.

THE CROSS, A POSITIVE SIGN

The Holy Spirit is your senior partner. With Him you have the confidence to face every challenge. Each challenge is seen as a faith challenge. You wait for His instructions and then act on them. There is no other more exciting way to live then in the Spirit. The spirit man will cooperate with the Spirit of God to accomplish great things for God. A man who fixes his mind on God will do great things because God is on his side. God and man in unison can do great things. Therefore do not fear what the enemy can do for God will turn what is intended for evil to good. God changed the power of sin by cancelling it at the Cross. This is the message of the Cross, good for evil. It is a positive sign of victory and not a negative sign of defeat. What the devil intended for evil turned out to be the salvation for man. What a anti climax for the devil. So also in your life when you turn everything to God He will turn your mourning into dancing. Hallelujah.

EMBRACE CHANGE

Failure is not the end of the story. Failure many times can be the stimulus for change. Change is the grist to the mill for advancement and progress. No change is usually associated with a gradual degradation of your life. It is not only the young who are challenged. All age groups are challenged but it is your attitude to the challenge that determines the outcome. A positive attitude always results in a better outcome. A positive attitude is an attitude of faith that the best is yet to come. It embraces change. Conflict is not seen as an end but a means to a better end. Therefore embrace change in the physical, psychological and spiritual dimensions of your being. Change in any dimension will affect other areas. A decision to fast will have psychological and spiritual impact. Never settle down or retire for this is the beginning of a decline in your faculties. Always be vibrant and active and outward looking. Such a person will always be growing and never boring.

WALK IN THE LIGHT

Precious are the moments of intimacy with the Lord. These intimate moments are like blasts of anointings in the Spirit. The anointings crystallize your relationship with the Lord. Look out for these moments. They are like light shafts that penetrate the inner most parts of your being. They are revelations in the Spirit that come and pass and you must grasp it. To grasp it is to make it your own. When it becomes your own then it is like you have possessed it. What is possessed becomes a part of you. It is like the word of God that shines on your heart and delivers you from all your fears. God's word penetrates through the darkness and lightens your path. When you walk in His presence then you become light. His light will shine through you and expel all the darkness around you. Don't give into those slavish thoughts that will bind you. You are free and your freedom in Christ is what will deliver you from all evil. Divorce is evil and you must not collude with evil. Do not collude with any kind of evil because colluding is as good as participating in evil. Resist evil and it will flee from you.

GOD

Brilliant are His ways and thoughts. Incomprehensible His plans for they are beyond comprehension by our puny minds. God is beyond comprehension because He is our Creator. We box Him in with our own thoughts of Him. We try to contain His power and His glory. God cannot be contained. He is too large to be contained. He is above all and yet in all. How do you comprehend that? He is in all because He created all things, good and evil. He will not be reduced to a thing. Images of God are a abomination to the Lord. Images are man made things to represent God to man. Man is limited by his image of God. God is image-less yet He says He made us in His image. Figure that out! When you grasp the immensity of God then you realize you are a but a speck of dust in His presence. This is what humility is all about. Be humble for God loves the humble of heart. God has chosen to make Himself known to the humble. Reach out to Him and let Him touch you and transform you.

PREPARE

Perhaps the Lord is coming soon. Are you ready for His coming? Perhaps He is not coming soon but has delayed His coming. Does this make any difference to your preparation? His coming or not coming is not the issue. The issue is whether you are ready to meet Him one day face to face. Death is the exit door to meeting Him. He comes today for many who will exit to the next life. Yes there is a life after death and this is why you need to be prepared for it. Those who are unconscious of death live in an illusion. They are only conscious of time and space. They do not live but exist. To be conscious is to be aware of every moment and to enjoy the present moment. This means you are connected to what is and not what has gone or what is to come. Living is a conscious and vibrant connection with all that is around you. Today prepare to meet your Maker.

FAMILIARITY

Familiarity breeds contempt. It is so easy to assume and neglect what is precious. Once you get used to something it loses its initial charm and curiosity. It is as if it has become part of the furniture. This is why people seek for new experiences. The old is stifling and comfortable. The new is bright and challenging. The world is full of challenges and it is easy to fall prey to the new thing on the block. The familiar has a sense of ordinariness to it. The new is different and so is exciting. However the new one day will become old. Beware of familiarity for it will kill you. Keep appreciating what you have and you will live a vibrant life. Gratitude is a good habit to cultivate. When you have nothing then everything is a bonus. Keep to the straight and narrow way and you will never lose your way.

WINNERS IN THE END

The Lord bless you and keep you. His face shine upon you and give you peace. The Lord is good and He always comes through in your time of need. He is your Supplier of all your needs. He offers you comfort when you are troubled and He gives you healing for your body. He is a friend at all times and in all places. The Lord is God and He cannot be limited to times and places. Man is limited but God is unlimited. When you tap into His wisdom and grace then you come into the realm of the impossible. In this realm anything is possible at anytime even the dead being raised alive. Hallelujah that you have entrance into this realm through the Holy Spirit. There are many deceiving spirits that seek to control you but your life is hid in Christ. Purpose now to remain in His presence and you and yours will be protected from the evil one. It is tempting to give up when things don't go as you plan but remember the Lord knows the end from the beginning. Keep the end in mind and you will never lose heart. The end is victorious and splendid and you are a winner.

GIVING

Giving is the only way of having a satisfying life. When you stop giving, you stop growing. The attitude of giving helps you more then the one who receives the gift. Giving is from the heart of God. God gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. The Cross is the ultimate symbol of giving. When you view the Cross you view a life of giving. The Cross applied to yourself will cancel out self and you will think of the other. The Cross is the only solution to a life of holiness. Without the Cross there is no way of escape from a sin filled life. Many do not appreciate this and think they can live without the Cross. If the Cross was a useless death then we are all condemned to death. It is because of the Cross that I have access to the Almighty. Nothing can replace the Cross. Therefore let the Cross be always before you and the world behind you. In this way you will always be available to God to serve others.

HIS TIME

Taking one thing at a time helps you to focus on that one thing and not be distracted. Distraction is what causes you to shift your focus. You want to do too many things at one time. This is the ploy of the enemy. He will cause you to be impatient and not get things done. Enjoy each moment. Your life is hid for eternity and therefore there is no rush. You can wait for His time and not be rushed into your time. His time is forever. When you lock into His time then time becomes a non issue. Only death can put an end to your time. Therefore as long as you are alive enjoy each moment and don't be rushed to get things done. It is in the rush to get things done that causes stress and strain. Relax and be calm and take things as they come. Rejoice that you are alive and well. In this way you will not be impulsive but take things as they come. You have all the resources of heaven to tap from when you need it. You will access these resources most when you are down and out. Depend on God to supply your needs and you will never be in lack. His abundance flows to you from heaven. Why bother about things on earth when heaven has a abundant supply? Trust God and in His time He will make all things possible.

HIS WORD

Impregnated with the Word results in delivery of a kind that will nourish you and others. The word of God is the written thoughts of God that were sent forth to enable you to know Him and to follow Him. God never left man to wander in darkness. His Word is light and when man receives His Word by faith he becomes whole. His Word came as flesh and dwelt among men. His Word is the light of the world. His living Word is Jesus. When you read scripture as the spoken word of God then you will value His words more then life. Men have forsaken His words to their detriment. They have allowed their own fallen logic to control them. The word of God led nations to victory while the words of man fell to the ground. It is His Word that will help you to conquer and be victorious in these times of testing. Watch for His rhema word and live.

I AM A NEW CREATION

I am a new creation in Christ. Behold old things have passed away, all things have become new. What a powerful verse this is from the Bible. In Christ my spirit has been born again. Now I have His thoughts, feelings and character. Old things to do with my Adamic nature are dead and gone. I don't have to listen to those old voices and feelings. I am a new man in Christ. I now listen to His voice in me. I listen to what the new man is saying. In this way I am transformed through my renewed thinking. My thinking determines my new way of living. Therefore I will think His thoughts about me and others. I will not listen to those old voices that have to be drowned by His voice. As I die to the old me, I am free from its torment. The old me can only think of itself and no other. It is steeped in selfishness and self interest and self indulgence. In Christ I am outward focused and thinking of how I can serve others by meeting their need. Jesus came to serve and this is the attitude that you have in Christ. As I serve all my needs are met in Christ. This is the way out of a self serving life and a life renewed in Christ.

FASTING

When the Lord speaks He speaks so loudly that you cannot but hear and act. Listen to Him. You will hear Him clearly when you surrender all and seek only Him and no other. Fasting enables you to subject the body to submission. Fasting is a form of death to self. The flesh likes to indulge in the senses. The appetite is a strong indicator of where you are in your fleshly state. Indulgence is a a indicator of fleshly works. The flesh indulges to satisfy its ego. The ego likes to boast and to indulge in itself. When you fast you make a choice to die to the flesh. You hear clearly and therefore pray aright. Look for opportunities to die to the flesh. The things that attract you and entice you need to be killed. Anything of the ego must be killed off. You should have no attachments to things in this world. They will all disappear in a second. Your sights must be for things above and not below. In this way you will give the flesh no place to take control. All your fears and anxieties are related to your ego state. The ego wants to be in control but the spirit also desires to be in control. The fight is on and only when you surrender to the spirit will your ego let go.

DEATH IS A REALITY CHECK TO LIFE

The love of God is so large and big that nothing can contain it. His love is so real for the man who seeks Him and embraces Him to his heart. God loved the world is such a profound statement of faith. There is no love other then His love because His love gives sacrificially. God can change your personality to be like Jesus. This is a process but can happen suddenly. God can do anything. The chain of curse is broken when you submit to Him. Your submission to Him is the key to change. Many talk about surrender but only on their terms. Your surrender must be unconditional. We hold on to something only to realize that it really is of no value. What cannot keep you from death is an illusion. All that you see is an illusion because it could be wiped out in a second. So what are you holding on to but your fragile life. God came to give you eternal life. You are unconscious of death but that would interfere with your consciousness. When you become conscious of death then you come alive. It is a paradox but true. Jesus was conscious of His death on the Cross and He faced it. He knew this was His Father's will and there was no way out of it for the sake of the world He created. The devil demanded it and God bowed down to it. Yet in the end Christ was the victor over the grave. Today you are a victor because He lives in you. His life in you is your assurance of victory. Hallelujah.

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS

Hitting rock bottom is like death. There is no way out but up. When you hit rock bottom your ego is completely out of control.It has nothing else to fight for as it has lost control. No more control battles. It can't fight anymore because it has lost everything and in losing one comes to one's senses. Reality hits home. You are now no longer living in an illusion, a make believe state of your mind. All of us live in our minds. Our mind can conjure up anything we want. This is like building castles in the air. However these castles are not reality but a figment of your imagination. Reality is that you have nothing because everything you have can be taken away from you in a second by death. This is something we do not want to face. Once we face it then we have hit rock bottom. The trials and temptations and persecutions we face are to help us face death. These challenges are just that and no more. Once you have come to the place of surrender then these challenges are a joy for you know that you will come out stronger, bolder and more loving and lovable. Embrace these challenges in the Lord. He is on your side and will never leave you or forsake you. How good it is to trust in the Lord. Jesus went away to be quiet and to receive strength for the day. You too must spend time apart to pray and fast. Fasting is like dying to fleshly desires that keep you from the Lord. Thank you Lord for your now word.

GOD IS IN CONTROL

God is in control and that's all you need to know. For a child of God His control is all that he needs to know. The devil appears to be in control but he is a deceiver of souls. He will plant doubt in hearts and cause them to fear. God is love and in Him there is no fear. Therefore fear God and walk in love. He who fears God has no fear of the devil. When fear assails you remember God is in control. This is the only way to overcome fear. In Him you have the power to overcome all things. In Him you are a victor. In the Spirit you can do all things. The ego is the only thing that keeps you bound and helpless to change. Once the ego is dead there is no barriers to your salvation. The ego must die or be put to death by identification with His death. In this way you are free from its chains and set free to be what God has called you to be. Hallelujah.

GOD'S PROTECTION GUARANTEED

Mighty is our God to save and to keep. God not only saves but keeps. You can trust Him with your soul. He is your protector and will hold you and keep you for eternity. This is not an illusion. This is the real thing. When you are saved you are saved for eternity not just for your time on earth. You are saved from the clutches of the evil one. The whole world is controlled by the evil one. Only those who are saved are protected from the evil one. Therefore the need for salvation is urgent for protection from the evil one. You must fast and pray and seek His face daily till all your near and dear ones are saved. Those outside the fold need Him. There is no way out of sin then through Jesus. His sacrificial death is the only way out. Facsimiles will not do. You need the original. Come to Jesus and be saved. Today is your day of salvation. Accept Him now.

GOD IS IN CONTROL

Prepare for the day of reckoning is soon coming. The Lord is in the wind and the rain. He controls everything. Man may manufacture weapons of mass destruction but the Lord is in control of it all. He can change things in an instant. The mind of man is controlled by God. He knows when the right time for intervention is. He appoints leaders and they are His agents for change or destruction. Man is foolish to think he controls his destiny. Death is the final master. No man can stand against death. How foolish man is to think that he can control his destiny. God will put thoughts into your mind which will enable you to walk in victory at all times. What appears to be a setback is a strategy for success. Hallelujah your God reigns.

GOD'S ADDRESS

How good it is to be in the Lord. His Holy Spirit is with you and in you. He will comfort you and direct your thoughts. Cancel all those negative and toxic thoughts of the ego and the devil. The ego will always want conflict because the ego is defined through conflict. Peace is a foreign word for the ego. The devil has come to steal, kill and destroy. The ego in cooperation with the devil is a toxic influence. It is only in the Spirit that you can be saved from the torture of the ego. The ego will kill itself when it cannot win. So intense is its craving for power, lust and glory. The man of God will not chase after those things that feed the ego's needs. Rather he will subject the ego to the Spirit. Be free from all attachments of the flesh for in this way you don't allow the ego to feed on these things. When you are free from these attachments than you are free to move freely. Anywhere is home because God is in you. His address is your address. How good is that?

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.
