PRAY VIOLENTLY
Step out and step forth for the time of separation between evil and good has come. This is the time to stand for what you believe. Evil has insinuated into all areas of life that good is like evil and evil is like good. This is how sin works to deceive and make acceptable what is evil. This is Satan's main strategy and this is the strategy of the world. Everything is acceptable and the individual decides what is good and bad. There is no standard and just like the sexual revolution in the 70's so also now there is the gay revolution. We are becoming like Sodom and Gomorrah and the world is going headlong into hell. There is no limits in hell for everything that is evil goes. Good has become evil and therefore evil is celebrated. Before the end comes there will be all the evil as it was before the flood destroyed the whole world. Now is the time to pray and seek His face that many maybe saved. This is the final hour and this is the time not to rest but to pray violently to rescue the lost. Come my child and rest in me for I have overcome the world.

ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD
All things work together for good, for those who love God and are called according to His purpose. All things means all things. It does not mean somethings or nothing but all things, good and bad things. This requires faith in God who is in control of all things. Even when you are in the claws of death it still means that God is in control. There is nothing that is beyond His control. The devil may make you think that he is in control but he is not sovereign. God is sovereign and He is in total control of all things even the devil. This is what will enable you to have faith when things appear not to be going your way. Your way may not be the best way. The Spirit knows the end from the beginning and rests in the knowledge that God knows everything. Therefore you can rejoice at all times good and bad. This is your inheritance in Christ. Rejoice therefore and be glad in all things. You don't rejoice for all things but in all things.

SIN
The powers of darkness are rising. God is at work through His saints to overthrow them. This is the battle in the heavenlies. The people of earth are unaware of these forces that assail people. People are controlled by these forces and wonder why they do the things they do. They think they are in control yet something else controls them. Satan makes them believe it is their doing. He works through deception to convince you that it is your fault. Sin is a force that Satan works through. Temptation is not sin. However when sin becomes a fruit through temptation then you become hooked. Eve was tempted but it was only when she ate the apple that sin caused the fall. Once she was in the light then she lost the light and her mind got darkened. In the world many walk in this darkness. They cannot see. You are the light that God will use to lighten their darkened minds. When they eat the fruit of your life then they too will come into the light. Never be challenged by knowledge that never results in fruit. It is knowledge that is effective that will result in good fruit. If the knowledge you have cannot be applied then it is worth nothing. Experience is what brings forth true knowledge. You know a person by being with them. Their spirit connects with your spirit and you become one.

DISCERN THE SPIRITS
In these last days how much we need to discern the spirits. Spirits are roaming the earth and influencing people in different ways even in the church. The church is being seduced to believe some new forms of theology which are dressed in deception. How will the flock cope with this gentle seduction? Like a frog that is being boiled so the church acclimatizes to the surroundings and will finally die. The Bible is our standard and not human intellect or wisdom. When we bow to any other spirit then the spirit of Jesus then deception will set in. Once deceived we will believe the untruth and die. Truth gives life while lies bring death. The truth will always bring the light while lies will bring darkness. Walk in the light as He is in the light and you will have fellowship with Him and one another. To stay the course on the straight and narrow way is the only way to walk. Broad are the persuasions and rewards of the world and the church can easily be seduced into those ways. Pray much in the spirit and keep close to the Lord in these days of darkness and prostitution.

THE LIVING WORD OF GOD IS LIKE SPERM
The living word of God gives life to your spirit just like sperm gave life to you. The Word became flesh. What a powerful thought that can cancel the enemy's plans and bring life. The word of God is sharper then any 2 edged sword piercing the depths of your spirit to bring forth life to your body, soul and spirit. Yet how lightly we treat His word. It is not just the written word but the rhema word that will produce life. The word mixed with faith becomes the now word. This now word is your rhema word and this word will go forth and perform the word. If the word is for healing then you will experience healing. If it is for peace then it will bring forth peace. God's word spoken through you by faith will go forth to bring results. It is like seed that is sown and when it falls on good soil will produce a harvest.So sow freely and let the Spirit bring forth the harvest. It is His work and His Kingdom. We are just His tools.

UNITY
The Holy Spirit will connect you with others through identification. Your spirit will identify Him in others. This is how connection occurs. When Mary came to Elizabeth the child in Elizabeth jumped. So also the spirit of Jesus will identify others who He has called to His fold. It is this identification that draws people together. When this occurs all other flaws of human nature fade into the background. We are united in one Spirit in the Lord. This is the unity Christ came to bring to His body on earth. When we recognise His Spirit in each other we become united into a whole. All divisions or opinions become irrelevant. We submit to His Spirit in us. When we fail to recognise His Spirit in us then we allow our judgements and assumptions and opinions to divide us. This is what divides the church. This is why we need the baptism in the Spirit so that we are filled and led by the Spirit. Any other Spirit will cause division. The only way forward is to be united in the Holy Spirit. This is the Spirit of Jesus who dwells in each one of us. The God head is not divided. It is one with many functions or roles. So also we should see the body as one with many functions. Let us respect the Holy Spirit in each of us and love each other as Christ loves us.

SPEAK THE TRUTH BOLDLY
The Holy Spirit is the powerhouse of your life. He comes to help you be a light to the gentiles. The gentiles walk in darkness. You walk in the light. God walks in the light. Therefore you are in the Kingdom of God. Light comes when truth prevails. Darkness comes when lies prevail. The lie of the devil keeps people in darkness. Therefore speak forth the word of God that will dispel the darkness through the speaking of truth. What you say goes forth as bullets to pierce the hearts of the wicked and deliver them from darkness. Imagine the power you have of demolishing strong holds as you speak forth the word of God in faith. God spoke and the worlds were created. When you speak believe that you too create worlds that push back the forces of untruth. Abraham believed God and it was counted to him as righteousness. His belief resulted in his righteousness. So also your belief will result in your righteousness. Not by works lest any should boast. Only by grace through faith have you received salvation.

ONLY TOTAL SURRENDER WILL DO
Total surrender and nothing else will do for the Kingdom of God. It is this journey that leads to whether you achieve your freedom in degrees. The more the surrender the more the freedom. Holding on to things and positions will delay the freedom. The paradox of it all is that the more you give the more you gain. The less you give the less you gain. Jesus came to earth and gave up all His freedom so that we can gain His riches on earth and in heaven. He said unless a man hates his own life for my sake is not fit for the Kingdom of God. This means that I hate everything that is centred on self so that I may gain all God has for me. When I withhold I only withhold His riches from reaching me. When I let go then I open the gates of heaven to fill my barns. What a paradox from the ways of the world that teaches us to keep all we have. Letting go and letting God is the sure way of living an abundant life. This cost to the self will result in abundance to self and others. I am blessed so that I can be a blessing. God gave and so now He has many children who have been saved from the clutches of hell. What a divine exchange is this.

TRUTHFULNESS
Truthfulness is at the heart of every good relationship. When one can be open and truthful in one's communication then there will be no room for any deception. Deception is the cause for a lot of miscommunication and suspicion. Once deception and suspicion enters a relationship it will begin to sour. Not even God can save such a relationship. God's word is truth and God cannot stand deception. It was deception that resulted in the fall and deception will always be around. Only close watchfulness will drive it out. You have to be truthful at all costs if you want to sustain a relationship. Truth begets trust. Trust is the basic foundation of any relationship. Therefore major on truthfulness and see how your relationships will flourish and grow. Even a dead relationship can be revived when one person decides to be truthful. It will cost your flesh much but in the long run it will do your soul good. Truth is like light. Deception is like night. Let your light shine that others may find hope and love and be blessed.

CHANGES
God is at work and He is in charge. He is causing the church to go through a time of upheaval to wake it up from its slumber. Awake and be alert for the enemy is out to discredit everything that belongs to God. He is using the rights movement and the gay movement and other movements to challenge the church. This is the battle in the heavenlies and you must not judge by the external. Fight in the supernatural realms to see change in the natural. The warfare is to cause people to lose heart and faith and cling to what is seen. What is seen will disappear one day. Only those who trust in the eternal will be able to stand. The rest will be left on the sidelines. You have to stand to defeat the enemy of your soul. The battle is the Lords. He is bringing about this change. There will be signs in the heavens and on the earth. All these portend to the climax bringing in the salvation of many. So do not lose heart but know that He is in control and He will see you through to the end.

FOCUS ON THE PRESENT
Christ in me the hope of glory. When you feel the fiery darts come against you, pray in the spirit. This will switch off those negative thoughts. This will break the cycle. Pray in tongues aloud for this too will break the cycle of depressing thoughts. Change your position and do something different. When you get stuck in a rut, movement will get you out of the rut. This is the way to overcome the tactics of the enemy. The enemy will always focus on the past or the future and never on the present. Stay focussed on the present. Become conscious of your breathing. Focussing on your breathing alone will break the cycle. Remind yourself of who you are in Christ. Never compare yourself with another. You are unique, created for a purpose. Daily fix your eyes on Jesus. This is a war you are involved in. Prepare for the war daily. When you get distracted by others or events get back to your primary goal. Your goal keeps you focussed. Jesus faced His Cross and prepared Himself for it. His pain was not the humiliation of death but the separation from the presence of His Father. He is with you always even in death. The Cross has conquered death and there is no separation now from Him. Therefore rejoice that He who has called you will see you till the end.

WILL
In the Spirit you operate with power from on high. In the flesh you operate in your own power. This is the difference between a Spirit filled life and a life in the flesh. Which would you choose? This is where the battle is. The will chooses and your will needs to be surrendered to the Lord. If the will is not surrendered then you will flit between one state and another. You will operate like a split personality. One day you are in the spirit and the next in the flesh. You will also regress from one state to another. You will be confused because you are moving around directed by your feelings and context. This is like role playing. You play different roles depending on where you are . In the world you behave like a worldly person and in church like a spiritual person. This leads to a life of conflict because your inner man becomes distressed by this constant role change. When your will is surrendered to the Lord then His will becomes your will. Only in prayer are you able to sustain this walk in the Spirit. You have been commanded to be filled in the Spirit and be led by the Spirit. This is a walk that only a few can sustain over the long run. This is why many get burnt out because they are trying to play different roles. The roles take over your life and the real you becomes submerged by the roles. When your will is surrendered to Him you become one with Him. He then operates through you. You stop playing roles and you become one who expresses Christ through your role. You just flow in the Spirit and the role becomes secondary to your real identity. Jesus never played roles. He was Jesus whether He was a carpenter or preacher. He operated from a position of surrender. Lord I surrender my will to you so that I can be yours all the time.

HIS KINGDOM
God calls and He equips. When He calls you He will provide for you. He is the Lord of the harvest. He calls those He requires to labour to bring in the harvest. All you need to do is be ready when He calls. This is how the Spirit works. He causes you to yearn for more of Him. He then reveals Himself in ways that astound you and confirm your calling. He then leads you to situations and people who will direct you and cause you to know it is God. God then receives all the glory and the result is fruit that lasts. Human persuasion is not enough. His is a spiritual Kingdom not made with hands. His Kingdom is for eternity and not just for this world. His Kingdom is forever and will continue to eternity. He is building His Kingdom. You are just an instrument for His use to build His Kingdom. Therefore watch how you build.In the spirit you will have all the equipment you need to build a lasting KIngdom. Come Holy Spirit and build your Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

WHOSE POWER?
The mantle of a man is seen in his works. A man of character will demonstrate his faith by his works. Where there are no works the faith is questionable. Works are behaviours that demonstrate your mantle. Your mantle is built through your faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. This means that if your faith is on nothing then you will evidence nothing. If your faith is in Christ then you can expect to see Christ in your works. What I am speaks more then what I do. I can do all things in Christ. However I can also do all things for Christ. In Christ means in His power. For Christ means I do it in my strength. The difference is in the whose is the power. Many do things in their own power. Jesus came to give us the gift of the Holy Spirit so that we can do all things in His power. You need a power source to do things. A car needs petrol to power it to move otherwise it will be a beautiful car that does not move. In Christ's power you will never grow weary. His power is endless. Therefore examine in whose power you operate. Just flow in His power and you will never get burnt out.

PRAYER
The Holy Spirit in you will give you the thoughts to share at the time you need them. He is in you and wants to speak and feel through you. When you decide to live for Him then He works through you. This is why only a fully surrendered state will do. In this state you can expect Him to work through you. All your conflicts are due to the flesh wanting your attention. Resist the flesh and obey the Spirit. His Spirit in you will enable you to live life to the full. You are not distracted by fleshly longings and impulses. You tune into His Spirit and become one with Him. This is to walk and talk like Jesus. As you practice this daily you become more like Him. Prayer is to ask, seek and knock. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will open in Jesus Name. Therefore when you pray believe and it will done for you. God wants intercessors who will ask, seek and knock. In this way you look for answers in the Spirit and not in the flesh. Jesus spent time listening to His Father in heaven. He then had the boldness to ask and it was done. What you receive in prayer will be manifest in kind.

TRANSFORMED INTO HIS LIKENESS
The Lord is good and His purposes will be fulfilled in His time. He is the Lord of the whole world and in Him all things are. Because He is the Creator and we are His creation therefore we will always be looking to Him. He is the only one who can fill the void in our heart. He is today and forever the same. He never changes because He is God. He governs the whole world. All the galaxies and stars are in His hands. When you look beyond yourself you realise that he is so mighty. What is man that he is able to comprehend God. This is why He came in the form of man so that we could become like Him and know Him. He is from everlasting to everlasting. There is nothing you and I can do to become like Him. It is all His work. Therefore all I can do is worship Him and be one with Him. I then become like Him. What I identify with I become. If I identify with the world then I become like the world. If I identify with God then I become like God. He sows His thoughts into me and I become like Him. His thoughts become my thoughts and my thoughts then work through my body and mind and spirit. This is the transformation that occurs as I commit all to Him.

FRIENDS
Friends are good spirit for the soul. A friend who sticks by you is like a million dollar investment. They are hard to find for they are made of gold. Even Jesus disciples who were called His friends fled at the time of trouble. It is only after the Holy Spirit had come down upon them that they changed to be true friends who were prepared to die for Him. They all died horrific deaths and proved that they were real friends. Jesus is your friend who will never leave you or forsake you. He is closer then a brother. He is with you all the time. In the centre of your life, He is. Where He is there is peace and joy. There is nothing you can do to earn His friendship. He has purchased you with His blood and in Him you are whole. No one on earth or in heaven can rob you of your inheritance. All you have to do is keep the faith till the end. In Him you will find the resources you need to stand in times of trouble. What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and cares to bear. What a privilege we carry, everything to God in prayer.

RESTING IN HIM
God is at work in ways incomprehensible to man. Our finite brains cannot fathom the depth of God's mind. If the things man has been able to advance boggle your mind then think about what HE can do. This is why it is better to operate in His way and in His time then yours. Many have died prematurely because they chose to go their own way then God's way. God has established what is good for man but man chooses to flaunt God's laws. These laws were given for our good. What is good needs to be applied for you to reap its benefits. Lack of application is what leads to staleness. How good to be in God's will and flow in it. It is like flowing in a river of love. You have to rest in the flow and trust His hand will hold you. In the centre of the storm there is stillness. It is only stormy outside the centre. So also in the centre of God's will, you will find perfect peace and rest. In this position you will rise and not fall because God is in the centre. Now what better place to rest amidst the turmoil around. Come my child and rest in me and find solace for your soul.

SUFFERING
God's promises are yes and amen. Therefore meditate on His promises till they become flesh to you. He has promised an abundant life. Meditate on this till you see abundance in health, wealth and salvation. Poverty is a curse and we are poor because we think poor. Abundance comes when we think abundance. Jesus does not want us to suffer because He has already suffered for us. What suffering you go through now is part of the work of salvation. You suffer because your flesh refuses to give in. This suffering is not for your redemption for you have already been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. In the flesh you will suffer because of the evil one who will tempt you and accuse you. When you listen to him then you will be distracted from your path. This distraction causes you to move away from your course and the suffering brings you back on the path. Some suffering can be redemptive when a soul has not come into the light. The suffering of the unsaved is different from the suffering of the saints. You suffer so that your flesh will let go and let God take centre place. This is the process of sanctification. Come now and be bold and free and enter into the riches of His inheritance in Christ Jesus.

DIVORCE
Divorce is a curse on this generation. There has been so much compromise that divorce is another ticket to so called freedom. Freedom has gone haywire with people thinking that freedom means lawlessness. There is no freedom without standards. A child needs limits to help him to know and grow. Without those limits it will be like a bull without a fence. They will be free but with the freedom will be casualties. God set some laws to help people and not to curse them. The laws were given for our good. However man has chosen to flaunt those laws. This is the rebellion of man from the seed of Adam. This rebellion continues and many cope by giving a blind eye to them. This is the cause for so much break down in families and society. The break down of the family starts with the break down of the marriage. A marriage built on sand will not be able to stand the forces against it. There is so much attack on the family that one cannot but think that the enemy is having a hay day in destroying the family. Laws that once were considered taboo now support licentiousness. In these days a christian needs to be on guard for spiritual attacks that will result in break down. These spiritual attacks usually are in the form of gossip and jealousy and fear. Pray and fast till you have victory when you are attacked in these areas. No one will be spared for the enemy will attack.

IN GOD ALONE IS LIFE
A man who seeks after God seeks after life. In God is life. Without God there is no life. He is our life. In Him we breathe and move. His spirit gives us life. Life is in our breath. He breathed life into us. When we stop breathing we stop living. Breathe on me breath of God till I am wholly thine. The Spirit come in the form of wind, fire, cloud and manifests His glory. In His glory is life. In His manifest presence is joy everlasting. In His presence you will have all you need for living life to the full. In God alone is your life and there is no life outside Him. Therefore yearn for Him and thirst for Him. He will fill you with living water and you will never thirst again. Till God fills your life you will feel empty. Only God can fill this emptiness.

TOTAL SURRENDER
Precious is the Name of the Lord who works in me to prosper me and anoint me with His goodness. He is my Lord and God and His love is everlasting. In His love there is no fear. Those who fear God don't know Him. He is the Father to the fatherless and a mother to the motherless. He meets my every need. All your needs are met in Him. Therefore I can surrender all to Him. It is in surrender that i am filled. He cannot fill a vessel that is only partially surrendered. He will not mix His goodness with your self. Anything of self displaces him. This is why He judged the 7 churches in Revelation. He needs total surrender. Lukewarm christians do not welcome Him. He wants a church on fire for Him.This is the only way the church will move forward. In love you can achieve anything. The human heart is hungry for love. When you stretch out your hand in love you become His hand. In all things when you are surrendered He blesses. In blessing you He is blessed. In blessing others you are blessed. This is what will spark revival in His church.

INVEST IN THINGS ETERNAL
The Lord is good and His purposes are great. He is the holder of all things good and in Him there is everlasting joy. His treasures are limitless. He created the world we know and all things in it. Man makes things but God creates things. He formed the mountains and the streams. He formed the fish and the bird. All things are from Him and there is nothing that exists without Him. He feeds the birds and the fish and all look to Him for sustenance. Great are His works and all we can do is marvel at His works. Man's works are nothing compared to His and all that man has made will one day perish. Therefore why invest in things that are perishable? The Kingdom of God is eternal.His Kingdom lasts forever. Therefore invest in things eternal for your inheritance is eternal. We admire the things of nature but they all last for a time. The things eternal are of the spirit and soul. Jesus came to bring eternal life so that our hope is in the eternal and not the earthly. Many die defeated because they did not have a eternal hope. Fix your eyes on Jesus and be blessed.

WAIT ON THE LORD
How good is the Lord that He provides the now word for the season you are going through. Why bother to worry about things when all you need to do is wait on Him to hear His now word. When you worry your mind just goes round in circles. It is as if you are stuck in a cycle that keeps going round on the same track. When you wait on the Lord then your mind stops going round in circles. You begin to wait to hear His word. When His word comes through you find a peace that envelopes you. This is the only way to combat worry. Seek the Lord and He will answer. His delay is not because He wants you to suffer but because He wants you to grow. A plant needs time to grow before it bears fruit. So also whatever your situation or problem commit to the Lord and wait for His answer. In this way He will get the glory. You will sit back and marvel.

GOD IS BUILDING HIS KINGDOM
Jesus did what He saw His Father doing. He just followed the lead of His Father. We too need to just do what He is doing. Many times we get so taken up with our own programmes that we lose the way. This is God's Kingdom and His work. It only becomes our work when the kingdom we are building is ours. In God's Kingdom he is the leader, we are His tools. He needs tools to build His Kingdom. We are His hands and feet and tongue, ears and eyes. All we need to do is surrender all our faculties to Him. Then as we follow the leading of His Spirit we will be building His Kingdom. It is His harvest we are involved in. All we need to do is be prepared to be the channel of His blessing. He will move through us if we let Him. He will pray through us and speak through us and heal through us. We are channels of His blessing. This is how He will build His kingdom. Now it is no more work but flow. He flows through us. We become springs of living water to all who are thirsty. This is a paradigm shift as we spend time with Him, He builds us up to be His vessels of power. Without His power it will all seem hard work and labour. No He wants us to rest and let Him build His Kingdom. This is a spiritual Kingdom and only the Spirit can build it. Not by might nor by power but be my Spirit says the Lord. Now relax and be bold.

WORRY FREE LIVING
The Holy Spirit is my senior partner. With Him at the helm I can do anything. Imagine that.Jesus said after He has gone He would leave a Comforter, the Holy Spirit who will guide and lead us on our onward walk. He is real and He is a friend. Now all we need to do is become conscious of His presence within us. He is near and everywhere. He knows the future and in Him we are secure. What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and fears to bear. He bears our burdens and all we have to do is rest. Most of our sorrows are due to our own doing. We worry about the cares of life rather then let Him bear it for us. He has done everything for us. Now all we need to do is let Him bear it. Do we trust Him to bear it? You know from past experience that what you worry about never comes to pass. So worry is just a distractor from living life to the full. When we let Him bear our burdens than we will feel light and free.

FLESH vs THE SPIRIT
Praise God who provides for answers in His time and in His way. The best place to be is in His arms and operate in the now. Lean on His wisdom and never give into impulsive thoughts. These thoughts come as distractions. Just ignore them. Don't feed them by giving them attention. You know they are not of God for they stimulate your lustful desires. Vomit them out as if they are demons and never allow them to fester in you. In this way you will keep your self pure. Give attention to the the thoughts that are healthy, upbuilding and kind. The more attention you give to these positive thoughts the less time you have for the negative lustful thoughts. The flesh loves to feed on evil thoughts for it is normal to it. The spirit and flesh fight each other for attention time. The more you deny the flesh its lusts, the more you operate in the spirit. This is the process of sanctification. Now you spend less time in blaming others and begin to get your own house in order. There is less time for gossip. Gossip is a way the flesh tries to compare yourself with others. It takes pride in the weakness and failures of others. The spirit will always looks for the positives in others. In this way you change to be like Jesus. A person who is always looking out for the interests of others will always be popular.

THE BATTLE IS HIS
The time has come to push forward in faith. The Lord is coming soon and both sides are going to rise in power. The evil side will increase. Violence will increase. God's power will increase and His people will rise to the challenge. Many will take up their weapons of spiritual warfare and battle in the spiritual realms to defeat the forces of darkness. Many will be working behind the scenes and the battles in the front will be a depiction of what is happening behind. God will move mightily. This is His war and all He needs are His troops to be His voice, hands and feet. God will move through His people. He needs our cooperation because we are His representatives on earth. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Do not be distracted by what is happening in front of you. The greater the challenge, the greater your need to pray and fight. Nothing is going to be easy. The enemy will release his full arsenal for he knows his time is near. He wants to take as many with him to hell. Your place is to stand in the gap and fight for many to populate heaven. Do not rest till the battle is won. You are on the winning side but the sooner His people get on the battle field the sooner His return. Therefore gird up your armour and fight today for souls.

FIRM AS A ROCK
Many words travel through the world by many people. How to discern the voice of God in the midst of all the words is a challenge. Many prophets come and go and so do their words. But the Word of the Lord is a strong tower and will stand the test of time. His word is eternal and forever the same. His word means what it says. His word is from the one who is eternal and the Creator of all things. He never changes for He knows everything. Trust His word. People change as they grow in the knowledge and wisdom of God. Whatever man plans is temporary for the time and changes over time. God never changes and trusting Him is like building your house on the rock. Therefore do not be taken up by opinions of man but trust the Lord with all your heart. When He is Lord of your life then all things fall into place. You are not swayed from pillar to post with changing opinions. Rather you are as steady as He is, like a rock that never moves. This is the security and stability you need in these times of change. Your life is on the rock of ages to help you in times of turbulence. The winds of change will come and go but when your feet are planted firm on the rock then things will change around you and you will not be affected.

LIVE IN THE NOW
Operating in the spirit is the way to live in the now. The now is the only reality you know. Everything else is just fantasy. Your thoughts take you into the past and the future. This is to live in fantasy. The now is where you are in eternity. This is the only reality that keeps you connected and alive. When you operate in the spirit you will always be present and never absent. To be absent is to be lost in fantasy. Fantasy is one way to escape from reality. To be real is to be alive. Many only exist because they are not conscious of the present. Even when they appear to be present they are lost in their own thoughts. What a waste of a life which lives in the past and the future and never in the present. The default position of the mind is to live in the past and the future. This is why in the spirit you can bypass the mind and live in the present. What does it mean to live in the spirit? This is to be conscious of your present and His presence. His presence will then guide you and enable you to feel and operate in fullness. Consciousness of the present enables you to be focussed and attentive to what you are doing. You operate from the centre of your being. Minor issues are no more distractions. You operate knowing that He holds your hand and He is with you enabling you to live in the now.

GOD'S THOUGHTS
When you are filled with the Spirit then the thoughts you have are from Him. These thoughts are upbuilding, spontaneous and holy. You will discern that they are different from other thoughts you have. When you are in your own thoughts then you need to set yourself apart and pray in the spirit till you are filled with the Holy Spirit. This is the way to get out of the automatic stream of thoughts that sometimes takes you away from His presence. These thoughts are there to occupy your mind which has to be occupied 24/7. In the Spirit you are able to intercede for others and wait to hear from God about a particular situation, person or problem. God will give you prophetic insights and feelings. You know these thoughts are from another realm for they are not cooked up by you. The solutions and impressions will astound you. When you share it with others they will be blessed too. This is how the kingdom of God will grow within you. This is how you get pregnant with His vision for souls. When you are able to hear God's voice coming through your thoughts then you will discern what is to be done. You will not seek man's approval but God's approval. In this way you will grow in wisdom and stature with God and man. Check these thoughts that I have just written and see if they are from God.

RESTING IN JESUS
Resting in Jesus is the best way to live and have a long life. In Him you have no worries for He holds you in the palm of His hand. He is the rock on which you stand. He will guide you and lead you. All you need to do is trust in Him. In His presence is joy everlasting. How good it is to be in His presence. You have eternal life in His presence. Life is not shortened in anyway because it is eternal. This kind of life produces fruit that is eternal. Why spend your time in transitory things when you have eternal life. His life in you produces fruit that lasts. Why invest in things that are transitory when you have eternal life. Jesus knew this and this is why He was able to face the Cross. You know this and this is why you will be able to face any challenge. What a mighty God we serve. This life was accomplished at the Cross when Jesus said it is finished. Now you can proclaim it to all so that they too can taste this eternal life. This life is for now. Therefore surrender all to Him and enjoy His life.

FAITH NOT FEELINGS
WE WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT. I WOULD ADD NOT BY FEELINGS EITHER. WHEN WE WALK ACCORDING TO OUR FEELINGS WE ALLOW OUR FEELINGS TO DICTATE OUR WALK. FEELINGS GO UP AND DOWN. WE ARE IN FOR A ROLLER COASTER RIDE IF WE ALLOW OUR FEELINGS TO DICTATE OUR WALK. OUR WALK MUST BE BY FAITH ALONE. FEELINGS MAY HELP SOMETIMES BUT CAN NEVER BE TRUSTED. I MAY FEEL HIGH TODAY BUT DOWN TOMORROW. IF I ALLOW MY FEELINGS TO CONTROL ME THEN I WILL GO UP AND DOWN LIKE A YOYO. FEELINGS ARE JUST LIKE CLOUDS THAT COME AND GO. IF YOU ARE FEELING DOWN THEN WAIT TILL THAT CLOUD PASSES. IT WILL SURELY PASS. LOOK AT YOUR THOUGHTS. TRY AND MANAGE THEM BETTER BECAUSE YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR FEELINGS THROUGH WHAT YOU THINK. OUR THOUGHTS DETERMINE HOW WE FEEL AND ALSO REFLECT OUR ATTITUDE. IF OUR ATTITUDE IS FOUL THEN IT MOST PROBABLY WILL RESULT IN POOR BEHAVIOUR. CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR FEELINGS AND ATTITUDE. GOD'S THOUGHT IS HIS WORD. MEDITATE ON HIS WORD AND TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE. YOUR THOUGHTS CAN ACTUALLY CHANGE YOUR GENES. IMAGINE THAT AND SEE YOUR LIFE CHANGING THE COURSE OF MANY DOWN THE LINE. YOUR DESTINY IS DETERMINED BY YOUR THOUGHTS. SO THINK HIS WORD AND SEE YOUR LIFE TRANSFORMED INTO HIS LIKENESS.

SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS
The spirit life is what will lead to abundant living. Many think that abundant living is living in the physical realm. This maybe so as a result of living in the spirit. However abundant life can be experienced in dire circumstances too when you live in the spirit. Jesus came to show us the way to live from the core of our being. This is to think and feel and behave from our real identity. The scribes and pharisees and even the disciples did not understand Jesus for they were using a different paradigm to His. He was speaking in spiritual terms while they were thinking in material terms. To think spiritually is to think His thoughts and His ways. These are the most satisfying ways to think and do. When you love from your heart then you love unconditionally. This may feel foreign initially but slowly you will realise that this is how you were made. How you think now is more a way you have been programmed to think and feel by the culture and family you live in. In the spirit you begin to walk and talk like Jesus. People will misunderstand you but Jesus was misunderstood . He was talking about His heavenly Kingdom in which he was King but the Jews thought He was talking about an earthly kingdom. The truth is spiritual and therefore can never be understood by the spiritually blind. Those who have eyes will see and believe. Lord come and open the eyes of the blind that they may see and receive you as King.

SELF CONFIDENCE VS GOD CONFIDENCE
Self confidence is a key factor in many situations. Many suffer from low self confidence because of repeated failures. This is especially so in relationship difficulties. Low self confidence leads to low self esteem which then results in repeated failures. These failures just confirm your view of self and results in depression and a negative view of life. Self confidence is related to your view of your self. If your view of self is based on works then if you fail at work it affects your confidence. Work is related to your sense of significance. This is a primary need just like love is a primary need. Many work to be good at what they do and this makes them feel good and significant and admired. However a life built on works cannot survive the challenges of life. At some point you will be challenged beyond your limit to cope. Then what? Confidence in God however does not depend on works but in God. God is the supplier of all my needs for love and significance. In Him I can face any situation and triumph because He is with me all the time. My confidence is in God who is Almighty. Faith in God is the answer to low self confidence.

BE A DAVID
Be alert for the times are evil. As evil rises so also revival will rise. The forces of evil and good will confront each other. This is the time for the separation of the sheep from the goats, the chaff from the wheat. Many have followed the tune of the Pied Piper and have lost their way. They have been swallowed up by the tunes of the get rich quick logo. God is building a people of stature who will stand tall when evil strikes hard. This is the time for total surrender and commitment to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. There is no other way to stand during these times of rebellion. The rebellious spirit is roaming the land and the weak will give into fear. Fear is the weapon the enemy uses to cause the rebellion. The rebellious spirit will try and force you to give in and give up. Stand in the spirit and be a David when the Goliath arises. In the spirit your weapons will hit the target and knock them down. No fancy weapons as the spirit moves through you to confuse the enemy and render him powerless like David did to Goliath.

TRUST
The Lord will use those who completely trust in Him. He is with you all the time. The consciousness of His presence will deliver you from all fear. Fear is a perception. You only fear that which can destroy you. You have eternal life in Him so nothing can destroy you. Your flesh may suffer but your spirit lives on forever. So why not give all to Him who is the guardian of your soul. He is the rock of your salvation. He is the bright morning star. He died for you and He rose for you. What more can He do for you? All it takes is trust. Trust Him who has given all for you. He is worthy of your trust and worship. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is and therefore you are. In Him you have living water flowing through you. It is not knowledge alone that is required. Trust is also required for faith to grow. You may have all knowledge but without faith you will never go far. Faith plus knowledge results in victory. Jesus always quoted the written word(knowledge) when He was attacked. You also will receive the now word that you need when you need it. This is the way to live, not in fear but in love and trust. Love trusts and you love God because you know He loves you.

WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE
Praise God who knows your thoughts and knows what you need at the time you need it. He works through your thoughts. The devil can whisper thoughts to you but he can't read your thoughts. He can hear what you say. He does not understand tongues so when you pray in tongues you confuse him. You can easily destroy his thoughts by praying in tongues. Reasoning with the devil is no use because he is cleverer then you. This is why God has given weapons to counter the devil. The gifts of the word of knowledge and discernment are able to penetrate deep into the realms of the spiritual. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but spiritual that can topple strongholds and destroy the works of darkness. Therefore pray much in the Spirit and do not give in to your carnal nature.

GODLESS GENERATION
Man is alone without God. God is the primary reason for man's existence. When man rejects God all he does is reject his Creator. Man is saying I will make myself in my own image! This is foolishness. Man then goes ahead and does all the things that pleases him that end up in degrading himself and behaving like animals just as it is described in Romans 1. This is what is happening in the world and the church compromises. When the world influences the church then God is left out. The church needs to rise up to stand for God by obeying His Word. It is so plain yet man is blind about the things God has said in His Word.This blindness is spiritual and until man is awakened he will continue to walk blind. A blind man cannot see beyond his own mind. He will grope in darkness and think it is light. Only God's mercy and grace can deliver him. This is why His saints need to pray for the blindness to be lifted. God came to save the world not just the few. Now it is up to you to stand up for God so others may taste His salvation too. Come beloved and cry out to God so that we may all not die. Let us not rest till everyone has turned from self to God.

ABIDE IN HIM
There is no other place to be then in the shelter of His wings. He is like a mother hen that watches out for her chicks. God is watching over you. What a security He provides for in His arms is love and peace. His love is like a never ending flow of life that keeps you longing for more of Him. He desires the best for you and will keep you wanting more of Him. He never will force you to do anything. When you abide in Him you will flow like a river that has no blockages. The flow will be like a stream that brings refreshment and contentment. In Him you will be content for He is with you all the time. In whatever circumstance you find yourself, you will be content. He gives contentment for you have everything you need in Him. You were born for this kind of life. The devil wants to cause misery and pain. God wants you to experience His joy and peace. Why do you then worry and fret as if you have nothing? This is the work of the devil who always causes you to fear. He is the master of fear. Do not give in to his subtle attacks. Abide in Him for He abides in you. This is the place of absolute rest.

I AM A CITIZEN HEAVEN WALKING ON EARTH
I am saved and belong to the Kingdom of God which is a heavenly Kingdom. I am seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. My Spirit lives in heaven and my body and soul on earth. I reign in heaven although I walk on earth. With a heavenly mindset I can rule on earth. Jesus did this when He walked on earth. He was from heaven and came down to earth in the form of man. I am earthly and born on earth and born again into heaven. My journey now on earth is as a pilgrim for I am heading home to heaven. What a revelation is this that I live and breathe heaven now. I don't have to wait till I die to enjoy heavenly life. I can enjoy it now because in the spirit I am seated in heavenly places. How good is that. Now all my needs can be met in Christ. Even my material provision can be met from heaven. Just as the children of Israel fed on manna from heaven for 40 years so also I can live on heavenly manna. The material world is just what we see. God formed the worlds as He spoke them into existence. So now I can believe that God can supply my material needs in the same way. This is what it means to live in the naturally supernatural world. All I have is supernatural provision. When I become conscious of this then my whole world becomes supernatural.

SAVED FROM DEAD WORKS
God has everything under His control, so why worry. He knows the number of hairs on your head. How good is that! Now all you need to do is to relax and let Him handle your life. So long you have worried about this and that and never lived. He wants you to have a life and not just exist. The things of this world force you to be like a thing and exist like a thing. No, He wants you to live like a king. You can live like a king even if you do not have every thing. You live from within you. The Holy Spirit will reveal the Son and the Son will reveal the Father. Now all 3 are within you and want to commune with you. When you turn your attention to Him then He becomes the centre. This is to live a God conscious life. A sin conscious life is so depressing. All you do is confess all the time. This is what the devil wants you to do till you die. This is to live by the law and not by grace. By grace you have been saved not by works. Therefore be free and now work out your salvation. You are free and therefore you are now saved from dead works and can do good works. Hallelujah what a Saviour.

NEW CREATION
Character is what the Holy Spirit creates in you. He works to make you a vessel fit for the King. The King lives in you. He needs a vessel that can hold His glory. His glory will be reflected through you as you become trasparent to Him. God cannot shine through you if you are covered with layers of self. Self has to be removed for you to be transparent. This does not mean that you become no self. You will have a new self made in the image of God. This is your original self. This self was tarnished through sin. Now in Him you are cleansed and a new creation. This is the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. A new creation does not go back to what was. It continues to grow to become a new creation. The old has passed, the new has come. In your new self you are able to operate in the spirit man to access God and His knowledge and wisdom. This is unlimited. Now you know Him who has brought you out of the pit and sanctified you. By faith you now can do anything He calls you to do. Now go and be the light to the gentiles who are waiting for the revelation of the sons of God.

KNOWLEDGE OF HIS PRESENCE
Purpose in your heart to serve the Lord and He will come close to you. He is a ever abiding friend. He will never leave you or forsake you. Words are a plenty but it is His presence that leads to abundance. An abundant heart has a lot to give. God is a giver but he withholds to those who shun Him. His blessings flow to those who obey Him. It is true that obedience is thicker then blood. Take any friendship and you find that obedience and loyalty binds hearts like none other. God abides in us and we abide in Him. It is this abiding that leads to joy everlasting. You are never alone because He is always with you. Whether you are conscious of His presence within you is totally dependent on your walk. It is not only talk but walk that results in His abiding presence being conscious. Many are not even aware of themselves. They operate in cloud zero not knowing whether they are coming or going. The world has so anaesthetised them to thinking and doing what is seen rather then what is known. What is known is from your true self. What is seen is catering to your false self. To discern the difference is to enter into His presence.

EXAMINE YOUR THOUGHTS
The thoughts you have determine the acts you do. Therefore watch your thoughts. You watch your thoughts by becoming conscious of them. Most of the time you are on automatic mode and therefore are not aware of what you are thinking. Now stop and watch them. Just rewind and see what you were just thinking about. Examine those thoughts. There is a pattern to those thoughts. If not wholesome then take action to reject them. In this way you get enlightened. This is the way to change your thought patterns. When you change your thought patterns to fit in with what is good, perfect and upbuilding you will notice a change in your feelings. Your behaviour then also changes. Loving thoughts will result in loving feelings and loving actions. God's word is full of good thoughts to build you up and not tear you down. When others try to pull you down notice that they are just defending their position. They feel threatened and therefore have to attack you. A critical person will be critical about everything. Not to be critical would challenge him. This is a defence for what appears to be clever. Faith believes and therefore gives in good faith. God gave that sinful man could be delivered. Yet man will not accept the simple way of salvation for it insults his intelligence. Yet the foolishness of man will upset the wise who are trapped in their own cleverness. Walk by faith and do not let your own warped thinking rob you of this great salvation.

BLESSING OR CURSE, YOU CHOOSE
The times are going to be turbulent as His second coming nears. The prophecies will be fulfilled soon to mark His arrival. Keep your eyes on physical Israel as what happens there will usher in His coming. The nations that are ganged up against Israel will fall. God will intervene for no man can save Israel. The spirit of destruction will not spare Israel. The Arabs have determined to exterminate the land of the Jews. This is Satan's strategy but God will intervene and save Israel. God will intervene when the situation gets desperate. This is to prove to man that He is in control of all things. Man is just a puppet thinking he is in control. This does not mean that man is useless. His obedience will determine the outcome. When man decides to reject God and follow his own way then he will fall. Adam did this and so did many who fell. Those who obeyed like Enoch got saved from the bitter fall. Today decide to obey God and walk in the fear of the Lord so that you may earn His blessing rather then be cursed.

HIS WAY THE BEST WAY
God is a God of justice and His judgements are good. We may not like it but He has the last word on everything. Just as Jesus died and men thought it was a bad deal but God thought different. Never assume that you are always right. There is more to it then what you see. Try and see it from the eyes of the other and decide. It is easy to make a decision when it only concerns you. However when it concerns others then it is better to listen to the views of others before arriving at a decision. It takes more time and effort but in the long run is a better way to go. A dictator does not need to consult others for his troops will follow orders. God is not a dictator for he has given us a free will. To walk in obedience is to trust Him for the best. No matter what the situation, surrendering to God is the way to go. God then has full sway and can act swiftly. As long as I hold on to things I delay the answer. God has to work on us to let go of things and let Him have His way. His way is always the best way for he knows the end from the beginning.

TOTAL SURRENDER
Discern the times and be bold to speak forth the truth in love. You know the truth and this will set you free. Many accept the lie because it is popular. Always ask the Lord and choose the straight and narrow way. There is no shame in this. People will mock you but you must do what you believe in. There is no shame in this. Peter denied Jesus 3 times in the time of trouble. Will you do the same? There is little time left to be free for trouble times lie ahead when to speak the name of Jesus will be anathema. You will be labeled as narrow and weak and cultish. The trend is to be broad and accepting and in this lies the death of a generation. God warned the Israelites not to worship other gods. Yet they did and married outside their faith. The same destiny awaits those who compromise the gospel. There is only one way to the Father. Many ways lead to hell. To remain on the cutting edge you have to be sharp and being sharp means no compromise. When self is denied then God can have His way. Only total surrender will do.

DISTRACTIONS
The Lord is good and He will bring you to the place of total freedom when you let Him to. This place of freedom is to be free from the constant assault of negative thoughts. These thoughts are automatic and are in your hard wiring. They are constant and take your attention away from the immediate. Your attention is always fleeting because of being distracted by these thoughts. When in conversation with others these thoughts distract you from the conversation. It is difficult to be fully present with another when you are distracted by your inner conversations. These conversations go on relentlessly like on cruise control. Total freedom is to be present without these distractions. Now you can identify these thoughts as alien to you. They are from your soul or the devil or world. They rob you of your peace. In Christ all these thoughts will have to take a back seat. They are still around but will not be able to distract you. When you find yourself going back to these old patterns then say STOP and restore your position in Christ. As you do this as a practice daily, slowly you will become more like Him.

REVOLUTION
Blessed be the Name of the Lord. He is Lord and He is risen from the dead. Because He lives I have hope for tomorrow. Hope is eternal. It never dies. Faith, hope and love are the three things I need to live an abundant life. All these things He has given to me that I may live and not die. Death has been vanquished. Life is for today. I live an abundant life because He lives. I live each day by faith knowing that it is my spirit that lives for eternity. This body will die one day but my spirit will live on. This is the hope I have because Jesus said it. His word is true and I believe Him. He is my rock and my salvation. He is my Lord and God. Therefore it is settled once and for all. Now all I need to do is live life to the full.All barriers removed. I only know Christ and Him crucified. Everything else is irrelevant and has nothing to do with eternity. This is the good news and all need to hear it and receive Him as Lord and Saviour. May 2013 be the year of revolution for Jesus.

TRUST AND OBEY
The last day of the year is like the last day of your life. The past is the past and the future is what matters. The new Year will bring its share of joys and troubles. Prepare for the New Year for what lies ahead. Give all to God and He will see you through as He has over the past years of your life. You have gone through some troubled times and survived. You have not only survived but also overcome. Now you know you can trust the Overcomer in you. In His hands you have nothing to fear. He is always with you and has promised to keep you. Therefore rejoice and be glad for He is with you all the time. Now all you can do is offer up praise and thanksgiving to Him who is and forever will be. This is the word of the Lord for you. Trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus.

SUPERNATURAL FAITH
God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Your circumstances may change. You may change but God never changes. In prayer God remains stedfast and you change as you gaze on His face. Prayer mainly changes you. It never changes God. He sends His angels to comfort you. He sows His thoughts into you and changes you. Much time in prayer changes you to be like Jesus. Prayer takes you away from the realm of self seeking to listening to God and His voice. When you gaze on Him and sit in His presence you will reflect His glory. When you intercede for others then His angels will go and carry out His instructions. There are an army of angels at work to do according to His bidding. When men pray the angels get to work. This is why prayer can do wonders. The sick become whole and the captives are set free. The enemy is thwarted and light shines into darkness. The Spirit works through prayer and nothing is impossible in the spirit world which is eternal. This physical world is temporary and is engulfed by the spirit world. Therefore when you operate in the spirit, you operate above the natural in the supernatural. Today ask for supernatural faith to move mountains.

ETERNAL LIFE
Purity is a sign of holiness. The Lord is holy and He calls you to be holy. The devil is impure and all his followers are impure. Truth makes you pure. The truth that Jesus died for you and has redeemed you makes you pure. There is no purity like that of Christ blood cleansing you from all sin. His blood shed for you is the detergent that is matched by none. Eternal life in the spirit makes it durable and everlasting. What Christ did on the Cross is eternal and nothing can change that. Death is final. Eternal life gained through the resurrection is also final. He has redeemed you through His sacrifice on the Cross. Now you have eternal life in Him. Now you have life because death is overcome. People live but they have to face death one day. How do you live when death is your final destination? There is no life when death is the end. However life is vibrant and living when your destination is eternal and death is no more your end. You can devil proof yourself by living in the Spirit and never again giving into the torments of death.

FEAR
Many are the woes of the people who are led by self interests. They are like a person locked into their own world of desires that never seem to be satisfied. They chase after more and more things but never are satisfied. This is the demon of greed that drives them. Any god that is not the Lord will lord it over them. The Lord will never lord it over you. He is gentle and kind and will lead you but never lord you. You acknowledge Him as Lord but He will never control you. He does not need to control you because He is Lord. Only a person who fears losing control will need to control others. The enemy of your soul knows he is a loser and therefore wants to control. Control is the manifestation of the spirit of fear. Therefore when you see a controlling person you can be sure that fear controls them. All the other behaviours manifest through fear. Only love can dispel this fear. It is the love of God which is the antidote to fear. A fearful person has disturbed sleep and disturbed relationships. Relationships are disrupted through fear. Fear controls you and others. Today determine to be free from the spirit of fear and let His love control you. There is no fear in perfect love. Come Jesus and fill me with your unconditional love.

WAR
The battle between the flesh and the Spirit is ongoing. This is why you need to spend time in the Spirit to charge the Spirit to overcome the flesh. You have to choose daily the path you will walk, in the Spirit or in the flesh. The Spirit is always willing but the flesh is weak. The flesh can only become strong when the Spirit is neglected. Be strong in the Spirit and glorify the Lord. Yes all the systems of the world are imperfect. Therefore where humans are involved there will be ups and downs. This is part of the course of life. Those whose mind is fixed on Him will rarely wander from their destiny in Him. Your destiny in Him is eternal. There is no death, only life. This life in the flesh is only temporary. Even Jesus died in the flesh. Pray much in the Spirit so that you can walk in the mind of God rather then the human mind. Every attribute of the flesh is mirrored in the Spirit. All the senses are available in the Spirit. Therefore in the Spirit you can see and hear. When you sense your flesh rising up it means that you need to spend more time in the Spirit. This is a war and there is no easy way to overcome but to fight. The Holy Spirit will help you in your walk. This is His job to work through you to glorify His Name.

GOD BECAME MAN
A new day has dawned and another year has past. Every day is based on this fact of history that on this day the Saviour of the world was born in human form. In eternity this is of no consequence but on earth it is of great consequence. A spirit became man. The God of the Universe took the form of His creation. Difficult to comprehend yet so real and true. There is no other plan that can save man from his own self. This plan of salvation was formed from the beginning of time. It was birthed in the heart of God so that His creation can comprehend what real love is. This unconditional love that gave up His throne to become man is like nothing man can comprehend. Yet this is the demonstration of love that changed the world. It is still changing the world. It will continue to do so till His return. Let us celebrate the Saviour of the world and give Him all the glory for He alone is worthy.

NEW LIFE IN CHRIST
Christ is risen, Christ is alive, Christ is born in you. What a truth and reality is this that the world needs to hear and know. The fight with the evils of the flesh drowns the good news of salvation. Many cannot accept the reality of Christ because their flesh denies the reality. The flesh will die for it is under the law. Christ lives forever and will never die. He lives in you and He is the source of eternal life. You have been saved through grace and this is not by your own works of righteousness. Your flesh can never be saved for it is under the law and condemned to die just as Jesus died in the flesh. His Spirit however lives forever. His Spirit is formless although He came in the form of man. You also have a spirit and is born again by the Spirit of Christ. Now you too will live forever because of Him. So do not give into the desires of your flesh for they are condemned to die. Choose to live in the spirit for this is eternal. All the quirks of the flesh are doomed. In the Spirit you can live each moment in the fresh realisation of a new life.

IN HIM
God is good and He is forever seeking to commune with you. The distractions of this world keep you from communing with Him. You were made for fellowship with Him. He is very near and He is omnipresent. So close is He that you can almost feel His presence. As you enter the zone of His presence you become transformed in His presence. This is a surreal experience but real enough for it to be real. He is closer then anyone you know because He lives in you. He gives life and every breath you take is from Him. Your Creator lives and therefore you have life. Life is in the Spirit. Once the spirit leaves your body it is dead. The spirit is like breath. You breathe in the spirit of God. Yet He is a person who resides in you.God is external to you and internal to you. He is omnipresent. There is no way to explain it because he is the great I AM. We are just His creation and in Him we move and have our being. Therefore rejoice today that you are alive. Let none of the evils of the flesh torment you because in His presence they dissolve into vapour. Imagine this, your internal conflicts are nothing compared to His great love. His love in you will extinguish all conflicts. You will become love for God is love.
Saturday, December 22, 2012
HE IS IN CONTROL
Praise God who controls all things. He is the God of the Universe. The Universe is His and he resides in you. What can go wrong when He is in control. The devil maybe in control of this world but God is in control of the Universe. Therefore the devil is just a monkey doing his tricks in God's world. When you are connected to God then the devil's tricks cannot overcome you. God will send His angels to protect you. All you need to do is submit to Him. Obedience is thicker then blood. In God's Kingdom it is obedience that leads to sonship. You are a son and a son obeys his master. In this union nothing can come and spoil the fellowship between son and Father. Therefore rejoice and be glad for the temporary trial you are going through is nothing compared to the glory awaiting you. Trust Him who has called you and prepares you for great things before you. Each day is a new day to experience God and His favour over you.

FEAR
Heavenly Father what do I do when the world suffers violence? Jesus suffered violence. Man through the fall has turned violent. He cannot control himself as fear grips him. The only response to fear is to fight or take flight. You become the oppressor or the oppressed. Only love can heal the terror of fear. The devil rules this world through fear. Man fears man and therefore needs arms to protect himself. Arms are a deterrent to violence but this is a thin line. Once fear steps over the mark then action will prevail. It is no different now as it was then. Fear entered the heart of Adam and Eve when they sinned and ever since then fear has ruled the heart of man. Jesus overcame fear through death. This is the only way to overcome fear, through death. When you identify with His death then you too can overcome fear. Identification with your Master releases His power. Faith is released to receive the power that can overcome the enemy. Therefore now let His love heal the wounds. Violence is a present reality in this world. Only love can cast out fear. Therefore love at all times and never give a foothold to the enemy of fear.

BELIEF
Belief is more important then genes. What you believe will translate into health or disease. Many are unconscious to their beliefs. They operate on cruise control and don't even know what they believe. Everyone believes something about themselves, others and the world. Most associations are built on a certain set of beliefs. Yet the individual denies any beliefs. It's only when you are forced to express your beliefs that it becomes conscious. Till then they remain hidden. They have been passed down the generations and control how you behave. Your whole being is controlled by your beliefs. If your belief is that you will die by 50 just as your ancestors did then this will control you. You will become what you believe in. If you believe in health then health will be your reward. Disease is only possible when you believe in it. Fear is a powerful force that cripples people through belief. It is a lie yet you believe it and so it is. Challenge your beliefs and change your destiny.

HIS GLORY
Christ in you the hope of glory. ThIS glory is for now and it is not just a hope for the future. His presence in you ushers in His glory. Do you believe this? If you believe this then you will experience His glory. The glorious presence of Christ in you is a mystery. His Holy Spirit was sent for this very purpose. God knew it is impossible for you to live a holy life without His Spirit in you. Sin has so marred your image that now only His Spirit in you can change you to your original image. You were made in His image. Therefore our original image was like Christ. Now He has come to redeem us so that we are like Him. This is a glorious mystery. Now you can expect to walk on earth like He walked, in signs and wonders. He will minister through you. All you need to do is allow Him to do it. This is surrender. Humility is the giving up of your own desires for His . This is the only way to live the abundant life. In Him all things are possible. Therefore believe and expect Him to come through for you in abundance.

HIS WORD
God is good and His banner over me is love. What a mighty God we serve. His word is the answer to your need. Your need is fulfilled in His word. His word is like manna from heaven. Everyday you feed on fresh manna as you read His word. His word reveals the rhema word to you. His Spirit will reveal His rhema word to you through His written word. It is only those who operate in the Spirit can see beyond the written word. The written word is for all time. His rhema word is personal and for this time. In God time is not a factor for He is eternal. When you enter into the spirit world you operate beyond time and space. His eternal word becomes flesh to you. This brings life to your soul and body. His healing word becomes your healing word to your flesh. Therefore meditate on His word day and night till it becomes rhema to you. God sends His word and it brings forth fruit of its kind. What a great God we serve.

NOW IS THE DAY OF SALAVATION
In Christ there is hope everlasting. In Him alone is there salvation. There is no other Name under heaven by which you can be saved. There is no other Name then the Name of Jesus. Many others have come and gone but the Name of Jesus prevails. His Name is above every other Name and in His Name there is freedom. He came that you may have life and that abundantly. His life is in the power of a eternal now. He is your Saviour now. He is your Provider now. He is your Healer now. Everything in God is now. The enemy will try and get you to think in terms of the past and the future but God is in the now. There is no time factor with God. Time is a product of death. Man is limited by time bur not God. When you operate in the Kingdom of God there is no time factor. A minute is like a million years. Therefore learn to live in the now and never postpone what you can do now. Live and act in the now. This is the time to give and love. There is no tomorrow. Today is the day of salvation to everyone who believes. Come now and be saved. No amount of thinking is going to change things. It is when you believe that you will see His salvation. Therefore step out in faith and take the hand of God and walk with Him into the unknown. He will lead you step by step into eternity.

FATHER GOD'S LOVE
Father God's love is so deep that you can't but respond like a child. His love is so high that trust is so deep. You can trust Him with everything. He knows your need and there is no one who understands you more then Him. He is your heavenly Father and no earthly father can replace Him. Come all and worship Him and receive His love through His Son, Jesus. The Holy Spirit will minister His love to you. You will feel Him. He is alive and the feelings you feel are real. It is not a mind game. His Spirit is real and he manifests His glory through you. You can see Him work His work through you and He manifests Himself to those who really trust Him. Trust is faith in reality. When you trust you are really putting your faith in an unseen God. Yet He is so real for he will sow His thoughts in you. You will rise up like an eagle on His thoughts and prevail. To prevail is to assail every negative and contrary thought that is sent against you. The devil cannot read your thoughts but he can send his thoughts. His thoughts will try and build you up. God's thoughts always seeks to build others up. He is always getting you to serve rather then be served. In this way you are built up and grow to be His representative on earth. You are His ambassador. Act like one and live to bring Him glory.

OPERATING IN THE SPIRIT
Walking by faith is like walking blind but trusting in the One who guides you through His inner voice. You operate in your 5 senses, spiritually being sensitive to the senses. When you feel heat it is a sign of His presence. You flow in the Spirit. You operate in the Spirit rather then the flesh. In this way you are protected from doubt as you move forward by faith. You take risks that naturally you would not. You do not stop to worry and procrastinate. You are moved by the Spirit to do. You leave the results to Him. You are led in the moment and not in any planned way. This is to move freely and the people on the receiving end will receive in the spirit too. What is done in the spirit will be received in the spirit. What is done in the flesh will be received in the flesh. You have been called apart to operate in the spirit. In the spirit world there is a reality that is unseen. God operates in the Spirit because He is Spirit. Man operates in the flesh and the spirit. This is why Jesus came in the flesh so that He could show man how to operate in the spirit while living in the flesh. Many did not understand the things of the spirit for they were blind. So also in this world many will not understand and die in their ignorance. You are called to proclaim the truth in the Spirit and leave the rest to God.

PRAY IN TONGUES TO RELEASE THE OTHER GIFTS
As you pray in tongues expect God to pray through you. Praying in tongues is the Spirit praying through you. It is God's Holy Spirit who is in you who prays through you. It is the gift of the Holy Spirit as all other gifts are. Therefore when you pray in tongues for healing then the healing gift is exercised. If in prophecy then the gift of prophecy is exercised. So also for the 9 gifts of the Spirit. They are all exercised through the Holy Spirit within you. Therefore all God wants you to be is His channel of blessing. All the gifts are for blessing others. You are just a channel for His blessing to flow through. All you need to do is to keep your channel pure so the blessing can flow freely. God desires purity for the devil will try and infiltrate an impure vessel. God's gifts will still flow through an impure vessel but the impurity will affect the recipient of the blessing. You have a responsibility to keep yourself pure otherwise you will be judged. It is a fearful thing to fall in the hands of the living God. The only way you can stay pure is to surrender all to Him. Your will must be submitted wholly to Him. In this is your security and freedom. His grace will see you through the hard times. You will be attacked but His angels will protect you as you stay fixed in Him.

RHEMA WORD
Priceless is the person who trusts in the Lord. The Lord will guide you each step of the way. All you have to do is walk ahead step by step. No more will be revealed to you then what is necessary. This is to walk by faith. The Lord knows what is ahead of you. Do everything to please Him and you will find rest for your soul. This is perfect rest when you can rest in His arms and not fear. Fear comes from the devil. He likes to guide you away from God. Faith will fight fear till fear is overcome. There is nothing to fear in love for perfect love cats out all fear. Therefore remain in love and faith and see your mountains move. It is so good to listen to the Lord then to your own thoughts. Your own thoughts are inferior to His word. His word will come to you as His rhema word and not just his written word. It is when His written word becomes rhema that you receive the prize. Therefore soak much in prayer till what you hope for becomes a reality. Your healing comes when the word spoken over you becomes rhema. This is the living word as opposed to a written word. What you speak becomes rhema when it is realised. A cheque is written but till it becomes cash it remains a cheque.

DO NOT LOSE HEART
Happy is the man who puts his trust in the Lord and not in his own strength. The Lord is near you and will feed you as you put your trust in Him. There are many ways the devil will tempt you away from the Lord for that is his main work. He wants to discourage you and make you disheartened and hopeless. God loves you and He is the hope you long for. He has promised so much yet the world will reject Him. The world will follow the order of the laws of nature which is death. God will call you to walk by faith and to rise above the systems of the world. Why bother to follow the laws of nature which will end in death when there is a higher law of life? God's children will need to pray and not lose heart for the devil will work even harder to discourage you as his end nears. The world will follow its course to destruction as it did in the days of Noah. The remnant will look to God to help them in the last days. So lift your head high and follow the leading of the Spirit and do not lose heart.

LIGHT IN DARKNESS
God is good and His mercies are everlasting. He is good because He only does good. He never thinks evil because He is all light and in Him there is no darkness. In His presence you will live in the light and move in the light. The light of His presence enables you to think and do what He desires. Doing His will is not a chore because in it is goodness and life. Why choose to think and do evil when the result is death. Doing good enhances you and builds you up. In an evil world good will always stand out for it will bring light. Darkness will cover the earth but the Light of His presence will attract the lost to His light. Like fire flies they will come to the light and be saved. So today be a light in the darkness and shine brightly.

PERCEPTION
Perception is everything. You perceive what you see. Two people may see the same thing but perceive it differently. This is what gives rise to conflicts. If your perception is largely negative then what you will see is negative. On the other hand if your perception is largely positive then what you will see will be positive. There are more positive people in the world then negative. However the negativity of a few grips our attention. The media fuels the negative news for positive news is dull or not news worthy. The media also determines our perception. However if you have a positive mind set then the negative news will always have a positive slant to it. This is why it is so important to be steeped in God's word. His word is positive because he is a good God. God is sinless and is above all negativity. The clouds prevent us from seeing the sun. God is the sun who shines above the clouds all the time. He never changes His position. We change but God never changes. His word likewise never changes and is true today as it was when it was written. Let His word change your perception and see how your whole world changes with it.

RULE AND REIGN IN THE SPIRIT
Evil is everywhere. This world is ruled by the god of evil. Therefore don't be surprised that every temptation hides the face of evil. In the Spirit you have power over the evil one. Jesus came to destroy the works of darkness. He did this finally at the Cross. He disarmed them of their sting. Now they are a powerless force who can only tempt you to believe in them and be deceived. Deception is their main weapon. Now that they have no power all they can do is to deceive, lie and confuse. Be done with them by giving yourself to prayer much to bind their influence over you and your loved ones. The church needs to rise up in this warfare against darkness as it threatens the lives of many. Suicide is just the end of the struggle when the victim loses all hope and feels powerless. Demons feed on the authority humans have on earth. God had given humans the authority not demons to rule and reign on earth. Now you have to reclaim this authority and not be deceived by the devil to give in to his wicked ways. Never compromise from the truth. Always sand for the right and you will reign victorious.

DEATH TO THE FLESH
Don't even spend a second in entertaining the flesh. The flesh is corrupt through and through and cannot be reformed. Your Spirit man will overcome your flesh as you give Him control over your thoughts. He will renew your thoughts and transform your life. Your inner man will be renewed by His work within you. It is not just knowledge only but wisdom to know the difference between good and evil that will transform you. The flesh will try and entice you and ask you to compromise with evil. Evil has become good in the world and the flesh will conform with the world, The Spirit on the other hand will fight the flesh and the world. The world is controlled by sin and the devil. You cannot serve 2 masters. Many fall because they live compromised lives. There is no compromise in Christ. He gave all for you and He demands the same from you. A man must take up his cross, death to self, and follow Me, is the word Jesus spoke to His disciples. No man can follow Him without the unction of the Spirit. We labour in vain when we try to do what we cannot do in the flesh. This is why works in the flesh will fail. Only the anointing of the Spirit can break the yoke. This yoke is what we labour under and waste our lives on. This yoke is the yoke of slavery to the flesh.

THE LORD WORKS WONDERS
The Lord is good and His banner over you is love. When you enter into the realm of the Spirit you are able to think and feel like the Spirit of Jesus. Is this not amazing. He is in you and will fill you as you allow Him to. He is the Author and Finisher of your faith. He is able to do anything through you. This is why He promised that you would do greater things then He did when He walked on earth. His Spirit in you is able to do it. Love and humility will be the mark of His Spirit in you. The old you will die a death and the new you will come a life. This is the transformation that will take place as you surrender all to Him. This is the work of grace in your life. Therefore place your life on the altar as a living sacrifice totally surrendered to Him. You will marvel at His work and His glory will shine through you. Many will marvel at His work through you and come to Him. God is working in the world through signs and wonders and all man can do is stand and gasp at His works. Prepare yourself for this end time works of the Spirit. Praise Him for all His works and delight in Him always.

CHANGE YOUR IMAGE AND CHANGE YOUR DESTINY
Images are reflections of your mind. Your mind begins to make inferences based on the images that you see in your minds eye. These are powerful images that arouse your feelings that fuel the image. The image maybe of you dying or winning. Both negative and positive images have a similar effect. If you imagine negative images then this will be the outcome of your life, negative. If you have positive images of success and victory then this will be your portion. Screen those images. It is just an image and therefore can be changed by your will. You decide what image you will entertain. If it is a pornographic image then you have the power to cancel it or dwell on it. The Holy Spirit can help you with cleansing your image. An image is like an idol. It will take over your life if you allow it to. Change the image of yourself and you will change your destiny. This is why dreams and visions are so important. The vision you have is an image. A Godly image will result in Godly outcomes. Jacob did this and multiplied his flock. You can do the same and image a million souls in your camp. This is God's image for you. As you image this vision then it will so possess you and the Holy Spirit will get to work to bring it to pass. When you image your family together as one with you then that is what will come to pass. If you image them as divided then that will come to pass. Change your image and change your destiny.

THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOUR SENIOR PARTNER
The Holy Spirit is your senior partner. He is not a thing to be used whenever you need Him. He is one to be revered as a big brother who wants to work with you. You don't consult Him only when you need to but you are in fellowship with Him all the time. This is the difference between being used and being a partner. The Holy Spirit is a person with thoughts, feelings and will. His personality will influence you so that His thoughts and feelings and will become one with yours. Jesus was one with His Father. So you are one with the Holy Spirit. The fullness of the Holy Spirit is the work of submitting your will to His will. Now you think what He thinks and feel what He feels and do what He does. When this happens then you become a channel of His glory. His presence in you is His glory. The more He occupies your heart the more of His glory you will experience and see. You carry His glory in your being. Very few realise this and so they abuse their body and mind and spirit. Let the Holy Spirit lead you and guide you and see how your talk and walk will be different. He will work through your personality. You are a person as He is a person. The difference is that He is a Creator while you are His creation. The Creator of the Universe dwells in you. This should blast you into eternity and make you feel so grateful and thankful forever.

FREEDOM FROM FLESHLY LUSTS
The only deliverance we have from fleshly lusts is to live in the Spirit. The flesh is so self centred that it will crave for attention all the time. The lusts of the flesh are all self centred. This is why Paul cried in Romans 7 and said he is like a man undone. He knew his terrible state in the flesh. However he could cry another cry of victory in the finished work on the Cross. This is your victory too. In Him you are free to be what he has called you to be. In Him you are free from the pull of fleshly lusts. In Him you are no more bound to slavery. You are now a slave of Christ. This slavery is not the kind that compels you to do what you don't want to do. It is a freedom that springs from within your heart. This heart transformation happens when the Spirit of Jesus takes over your heart and makes you like Him. You walk on earth like Jesus and talk and feel like Him. He unites your being with His being and you become one just as Jesus and the Father are one. He will keep you and all you have to do is surrender all. The flesh only suffers when you resist His Spirit. God allows suffering to enable you to let go and let God.

FAITH MORE PRECIOUS THEN GOLD
What is it you have to offer God at the end of your life? Gold and silver? Your faith more precious then gold is what you have to offer. All of life is a journey of faith. Just as Abraham walked on earth by faith so also you too have been called to walk by faith to the promised land. Abraham never entered the promised land yet he looked to what was before him. We have entered the promised land by faith in the finished work of Jesus the Messiah. He has gone on before us and we can live in the living hope that we too will join Him one day. Now we can enjoy the fruits of faith as we enter the promised land. This is the Kingdom of God. We pray thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Yet we live as if we belong to an earthly kingdom. His Kingdom is heavenly and we have been given the authority to rule and reign on earth as it is in heaven. In heaven there is no sickness, poverty or hatred and pride. These are earthly things that rob us of our heavenly inheritance. We have to believe and see and live in His Kingdom today. Never mind what the circumstances say. We have to live in His glory here on earth. His glory is His presence. In His presence is heaven on earth. Hallelujah.

LORD OF ALL
Jesus is Lord of all. He has won the right to be Lord of all. He offered Himself as a sacrifice for all. He has now risen to rule from heaven over all. His enemies are His footstool. In Him all things hold together. He is the author and finisher of your faith. It is faith in Him and His word that will enable you to reign with Him. He has appointed you to rule on earth in His name. He has given you the authority to do in His name what he has called you to do. Therefore look to Him for everything just as He looked to his Father for everything. God is able to do more then what you can think or desire. He is Lord of all. Therefore go and be a light to the gentiles. Do not be ashamed of your standing in Him. Rather rule and lead as the head. Act as if you are Him on earth as He is in heaven. You will find all the spiritual resources you need to conquer all. You have a mission and to this mission you have to apply all your attention to. He will lead you one step at a time and it is only when you look back that you will see the tapestry He has weaved.

LIVE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT
The Lord is merciful to all who will call on Him. Every person is a child of God and has the ability to call on Him. Many call on Him when they are in distress. Therefore do not be alarmed when people blaspheme His name. They are nearer to Him then those who quietly ignore Him. The rebel is nearer to the heart of God then the follower. Paul was a rebel and see where God took him. Never judge a person by their behaviour. Their heart maybe crying out for deliverance and their rebellion is just that. Love is the most powerful force that can turn a rebel into a saint. Therefore let love be your guiding force when you enter enemy territory. The devil cannot stand love because he is full of hatred. What is opposite of evil is live. The fruits of the spirit are the opposite to the lusts of the flesh. When you walk in love then you will manifest all the other fruits of the spirit. When I walk in the spirit there is no room for division or a walk in the flesh. I live in the spirit and walk in the spirit. This is what will cause the glory of God to come down. Many live in the spirit but walk according to the flesh. This causes confusion and is the cause for division in my church. Pray that my people will live and walk in the spirit.

FEELINGS
Never make decisions based on feelings. Feelings can inform but should never force you to decide. Your head must decide. Your head is able to see the big picture. Your feelings only see the immediate. This is why reactions based on feelings almost always are wrong. Feelings are aroused by your senses. You see something beautiful and your feelings are aroused at the moment. These feelings fade away after a while and the same reaction is not present. You are moved by an emotional talk and decide to do something based on the emotion. Later you think about it and don't feel the same and decide not to do it. Feelings are good when they motivate you to do good. They can be destructive when they motivate you to do evil. Always take time before making decisions for then you will not regret when the dust settles. This is why it is always a good strategy to wait and not rush into decisions. Time is on your side. When you rush into things they will compel you to say and do things that you may later regret. Watch your feelings. Let them educate you and not control you. A good decision backed with feeling always results in action. When you are passionate about your cause then feelings will drive you to achieve what seems impossible. God's cause is the salvation of mankind from sin and its effects.

WALK IN THE SPIRIT
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The Lord loves His people to walk in His ways. The Spirit in you pleads with you and intercedes through you for the salvation of many. When the fear of the Lord is missing then the people will walk in their own ways which will lead them to destruction. The Lord has made us to walk in His ways for our own good. The goodness of the Lord is good. He never intends to harm us. However the flesh will try and oppose all that God intends for good for us. This is the battle we have to wage against the flesh and the devil daily. The walk in the spirit is easy but the flesh always comes in the way. This is why only a complete surrender to Him will do. Anything less is giving way to the flesh and the devil. God can move very speedily through a life fully surrendered. God wants to move and wants to bless but we must allow Him to do so. Thank God for all the blessings you already have. Now allow Him to bless you even more. Only life in the Spirit is of value in eternity. Why not start now.

ADDICTIONS
The more you operate in the Spirit the less the flesh has control over you. Any addiction can be overcome in the Spirit. Small addictions and big addictions are the way the flesh operates to control you. The flesh likes rules and regulations. This gives the flesh a sense of security although it realises it is flimsy security. The defences of man keep you sane from the challenges of life especially in relationships. The defences are mental mechanisms to keep you from feeling defeated and blamed. All blame is shifted to another because guilt is too painful to bear. The thief justifies his behaviour by rationalising it. This is defensive behaviour. So also addictions are like bad habits that become automatic. Even addictions to foods come in this category. Pray in the Spirit and allow the Spirit to dismantle your defences and set you free. In the Spirit you operate on a spiritual plane and depend on Him to protect you. He is in control of all things. The more Jesus is proclaimed Lord the less self will have a say. Hallelujah.

GOD IS POSITIVE
God is positive, loving, kind, merciful and forgiving. All the attributes of God are positive. Why then do you entertain negativity? If Christ is in you then His attributes must be yours. What is not of Him is of the devil. Sin came into the world through the devil. Therefore anything that is negative is not of God. Without sin there is no death and decay and destruction. It is sin working through man that causes it. What right do I have to give into sin when the victor over sin lives in me. Why do I give so much attention to sin and the devil when he has been defeated on the Cross. All I need to do is to walk in His righteousness and I will be God conscious and not sin conscious. The need to repent is only needed when I am not walking in His righteousness. His righteousness is imputed on me. It is not due to my own goodness but His. Therefore I walk in this covenant of grace that enables me to live a righteous life. I am aware of sin and the devil but they don't hold my attention. I resist the enemy when he comes before me to tempt me. In this way I guard myself and in so doing I am the door keeper. I set my will to His will and do His will and not my will. I am dead to self and alive in Him. My only cause to live is Him. In Him I am at peace. Now I exude His glory. The glory of His presence which changes everything. Imagine His presence with you all the time and in His presence no evil can survive. Glory to God in the highest.

BEWARE OF THE ENEMY'S TACTICS
The enemy tempts the flesh. He is a master manipulator. All you need to do is tell him to go to Jesus. Do not entertain the thoughts and feelings for a second. Just direct Him to Jesus. This is the only way to overcome him because Jesus overcame Him on the Cross. Now is the time to walk circumspectly. The days are evil and you must walk in the Spirit. The devil will target those who desire to walk in the Spirit. He is not interested in those who are lukewarm or cold. He is afraid of those who are a threat to his kingdom. You are the representative of Jesus on earth. You wear His badge of ownership. You are a threat to the demons and Satan. Therefore do not be surprised when you are attacked for this. When you stand up and proclaim His reign then you assault the kingdom of darkness. Your prayers go out to perform the works of righteousness. All darkness fears the christian who has power with God. Fear not for you are in His hands and He holds you firmly. Trust in Him completely.

LET HIM BE THE PILOT
Jesus you reveal your mind to me today. I only want to do what you want me to do today. I want to be filled in your Spirit and be led by you. This is true humility. To be filled and led by the Spirit means that the flesh has to die. You cannot be filled and walk according to the flesh. The Spirit and the flesh are enemies. Therefore there is only one way to walk, in the Spirit. Living in 2 camps is like living in no mans land. You are neither here nor there. This is a compromised position and leads to lukewarmness. God wants you hot or cold. Your will decides which path you will take. Consecrate your will to the Lord. It is the wheel of your life. Let Him take control of the wheel. He is the best pilot you can have to lead you through the treacherous waters. He knows where you need to go because He has already reached the destination. Why try and do it yourself when He can do it for you. This is the time to let go and let Him take over. He is in you and will guide you. Leave all to Him. He will speak and work through you. Cast your burdens on Him for He cares for you.

NATURALLY SUPERNATURAL
The supernatural has become natural for those who walk in the Spirit. The Spirit world is invisible but by faith you can make the invisible, visible. This is what Jesus meant when He prayed Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. This is to bring heaven down to earth. Only those who walk in the Spirit can do this. Jesus did this and His disciples can do this. He showed the 12 how to do it and then the 70 and they then did the same. Thus the church multiplied as the Kingdom of God manifested on earth. Yet this power can be stopped by men who oppose it. This is the warfare that is going on in the heavens and now is heating up as the soon return of Jesus draws near. What will you do during this time? Prepare for the soon coming King. Let go of all your personal desires and ambitions. Sell all and work for the Kingdom. This is the only way to live by faith. These things will hold you back from moving in power. The flesh will hold on to these things because they give you a sense of security. There is nothing secure in this world. All will disappear in a second. What remains will be yourself and God. When you meet Him you will have nothing to show but yourself and what you have done for His Kingdom. Come Holy Spirit and make me a vessel of your power to bring heaven down to earth.

HEAVEN ON EARTH
A heart that sees and believes knows. This is the difference between heart belief and head belief. One knows and the other knows about. Jesus illustrates this clearly by saying I know my Father and my Father knows me. A true knowledge of God expresses itself in a personal way. It is like I have met the Queen rather then I know all about the Queen. Knowing in the heart is a personal encounter with the supernatural. The spirit world is supernatural. Yet God has made it natural by bringing heaven to earth. Therefore what is in heaven can be experienced on earth. When heaven comes down to earth then what is in heaven becomes possible on earth. There is no sickness in heaven and so when heaven comes to earth all sickness vanishes. All that is in heaven is possible on earth. God promises this when He says that His people can experience this when they repent and turn from their sin and wicked ways and repent and pray. When we pray and bring His glory down then miracles happen. In His glory miracles happen. Pray therefore for His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In heaven there is no poverty, sickness or disease. All is wholeness and wealth and health. Therefore when you face sickness, disease and poverty pray for heaven to come down and see these maladies disappear.
