PREPARE

The Lord is coming soon so prepare the way of the Lord. You prepare by getting ready for His coming. Like the 5 ladies who trimmed their lanterns and made sure they had enough oil so you also need to trim your life and be full of the Holy Spirit. He is the only one who knows and He is with you and in you. Learn to operate in Him and you will never be late. He is in charge of time and place and He knows where you should be and when. Therefore rely on Him. See how freely you are able to think and write when you are full of Him. He wants you to centre your life in Him always for the enemy is waiting to trip you up anytime. He can only trip you up when you are not watching and waiting. You have to watch for you don't know when He will come. Meanwhile work as if this is your last day. Live as if it is your last minute. Death is so close but you have eternal life and so don't have to fear death. Now is the time to surrender all to Him so you can have all of Him. Why trade for second best when you have the best. Hallelujah.

OUR SAD STATE

The beginning and the end are the same. You were created from dust and to dust you will return. It is the time in between that is important. This is the time God has given everyone to do as He has planned. Many decide to go their own way and reap destruction to their soul and their body. Jesus came to show us the way to life but many choose death. This has been the story since the beginning of time. When sin entered the world all that was good was tarnished and all that remains is just a caricature of what is real. So we follow our instincts and roam like animals when all God intended was to be like Him. Sin has so tarnished our vision that all we can do is see through dark glasses. We do this to hide from the reality of sin. Dark glasses keep us from confronting reality and seeing the light. The light is too bright as God is light. Yet Jesus came to show us the way through Him but we reject His way for we want our own way. Only when the ego is prepared to surrender all, will we be ready to commune with Him. All other fellowship is conditional on our part. Only the Holy Spirit can usher us into the new life for without Him all our attempts are like wind.

EGO BATTLES

Most of the battles we face daily can be reduced to ego battles. Our individual ego is challenged by another and this sets of a stream of defensive behaviours that serve to keep us from losing face. The ego is our only defence against attack. Once the ego is reduced to nothing we are less then a person. Yet Christ said that we need to die to our ego if we want to follow Him. What He was saying is that we need to trust Him and not ourselves. He will defend us in our daily battles. This does not mean being a door mat for others to walk all over us. What He means is that He will give us the wisdom to know how to respond and not attack or withdraw in defence. This means that when we choose to follow Him that we trust His Spirit to give us the answer in each situation. I may want to respond in anger but I will choose to be quiet or say in response what will calm the waters. On the other hand we may also be enabled to say what is right. Jesus never backed down when He was confronted with sinful behaviour. He confronted this and for this He was crucified. He called the Pharisees white washed sepulchres. He accused the Jews of idolatry and they wanted to stone Him. He did not do this for His sake but He did what He saw His Father doing. I too need to do what I see the Father doing and not give in to the fears and desires of my ego or flesh.

HIS GLORIOUS PRESENCE

The glory of the Lord descends where people rise in faith to welcome the King in. He is always present but His presence is intensified when faith rises. Where there is His glorious presence no evil can subsist. In His glorious presence there is healing, wealth and salvation. When you walk in the fulness of the Holy Spirit then glory will envelope you. His glory is the mark of His presence within you and around you. People will see and feel His presence around you. This is why when Jesus walked His shadow was enough to heal people. His touch could be transferred. So today the more time you spend in His presence the less time you need to transfer His presence. His presence is all you need at anytime. His presence will meet all your needs. His presence brings light and life to all around. Delight in His presence and He will burn all the dross in you. Holiness becomes your way of life. His holy presence will enfold you and cause you to walk in presence.

LUST CAN'T WAIT. LOVE CAN

THE FLESH IS YOUR GREATEST ENEMY. LUST IS OF THE FLESH. LUST IS LIKE A WILD HORSE THAT NEEDS TO BE TAMED. SELF CONTROL IS A FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT. ONLY THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT CAN REPLACE THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH. WHEN YOU NEED LOVE, LOOK TO THE SPIRIT TO FILL YOU WITH HIS LOVE. YOUR LOVE IS SO POOR COMPARED TO HIS LOVE. IN HIS SPIRIT YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THE GOD KIND OF LOVE. THIS LOVE IS SO PURE THAT YOU FEEL SO BLESSED AND LOVED. WHEN YOU NEED PATIENCE ASK THE SPIRIT TO FILL YOU WITH HIS PATIENCE. ALL THE 9 GIFTS AND FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT ARE IN YOU BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT LIVES IN YOU. WHEN YOU ARE FILLED THEN ALL THESE GIFTS AND FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL MANIFEST THROUGH YOU. YOUR SPIRIT IS THE PLACE WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS. YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT MUST BE FILLED WITH HIS SPIRIT TO BE MADE WHOLE. YOUR FLESHLY LUSTS NEED TO BE CRUCIFIED. YOUR SPIRIT BECOMES MORE AND MORE LIKE JESUS AS IT IS SANCTIFIED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. ONLY BY THE TOTAL SURRENDER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN THIS BE FULFILLED.

WALK IN THE SPIRIT

God is in control and He will use anyone who calls on His Name. It is faith that changes things. Faith in God changes you and others. When you minister in faith in Jesus Name you become a change agent. Nothing is impossible in Jesus Name. He made you and He knows everything about you. He always lives to serve you just as the Father served when Jesus walked on earth. He puts His desires into you and enables you to do what he has called you to do. There is no shame in defeat for He is the one who has the last word. Problems, challenges will come your way but you must stay firm in what you believe. It is what you believe that determines the outcome of your life. Therefore operate in the Spirit for He is the one who will give you the wisdom you need to operate in His strength. The flesh will try to control you but you should pay no attention to it. The more attention you give it the more it will control you. The flesh will need to be crucified daily so that you are free to operate in the Spirit. You know that anything that is negative is of the flesh. When you operate in love there is an atmosphere you create that will affect others.

HEAVENLY MIND SET

The glorious presence goes with you because He lives in you. How amazing is this? You are the temple of the living God. Look after your body because He indwells you. Who will abuse a body that holds the Creator of life? The Creator of all creation dwells in you. What a astounding being you are. He chooses to live in you for He created you in His likeness. His Spirit was given to you for this purpose. Therefore wherever you go, you carry His presence. The flesh will not want to accept this for it is earthly and cannot understand heavenly realities. The Spirit in you wants to operate in a heavenly mind not an earthly one. When you move in the heavenly then your life will change like from one earthly to a heavenly life. This is transformation. This is revelation. Your senses begin to pick up heavenly senses and minister to others through heavenly senses. Heaven becomes earthly and this is how the Kingdom of heaven is established on earth. My people look to earthly masters rather then the heavenly Master. Jesus made it possible for you and I to be heavenly ministers here on earth.

THE LAST HOUR

As evil rises in the form of increasing abortions and gay marriages and all kinds of sexual deviations so also the Spirit of God is hearing the cry of his people and moving across the earth in revival fires. This is the time of the end and evil will rise and markets will rock and the earth will shake and men will lose heart. However those who hope in the Lord will see victory and will rejoice as many will turn to the Lord for salvation. There is no death in the Lord, only life and that eternal. Therefore turn now from your wicked ways and seek the Lord with all your heart night and day. This is the last hour of the last hour and time is running out for man. God is moving in in this last hour to save all those who will cry and receive His salvation. Come to the Cross and be saved in Jesus Name.

DEATH

Death is only a moment away. This is how thin the veil is that separates death from life. Yet we live each day like there is no tomorrow. How very illusory iS life when death is only seconds away. We live as if there is no tomorrow. Life just goes on and we drift through life as if there is no end. What a wasted life which ends as it began with no purpose and vision. Yet God did not design life this way. He designed man to live with purpose and vision. He created man to enjoy life and all His creation. Yet the pressures of daily life keep us in a subconscious state of mimd where we drift through life and end up with nothing. We are so taken up with pressures from within and without that we have no space to enjoy it. This is the lot of man lost in this world of distractions that keep us moving but never reaching. This is why Solomon said that life is an illusion and all is nothing but wind. How hopeless life is for a person who ends in futility of purpose as death ends it all and all he is left is dust. In Christ there is an answer that will change this hopeless and purposeless life to one with purpose and a destiny that is eternal. Hope in Him and nothing will be wasted for all things will be consumed in Him to make a glorious end.

TIME AND SPACE

Time and space are not in God's account. He is eternal and omnipresent and therefore they don't compute. We humans are limited by time and space and therefore in our world they are important factors. However they are limiting factors. When you can transcend time and space then you too can operate in God's arena of faith. When we limit faith by time or space then we limit God. We need to operate in God's timeless timeline to be able to see things in God's way. If healing does not come in our time we become hopeless and lose faith. If goals are not met on time then we despair. God has His way and His way is not always in your time. Many times things happen at the last moment by God's grace. Time only matters because death is final for man. We age because we limit ourselves by time. In a timeless generation there is no ageing as there is no death. In God's Kingdom physical death is not the end but the beginning of eternal life. You are an eternal being who has taken the form of a human being and will take another form when you die. Your spirit is eternal i.e was even before you were conceived. This is why God knew you even before you were conceived in your mother's womb and chose you. Never be distracted by the form for the form only contains what is spirit. You are a ministering spirit sent to minister His love and salvation to all.

FLESHLY ENCOUNTERS

Having your mind fixed on Jesus is necessary to stay fixed on your course. Jesus fixed His eyes on the cross for this was the purpose of His life. Your purpose is to fix your eyes on Jesus for this is the the only way the Cross can have power over your flesh. Your flesh is your main enemy. It is not your neighbour or your work mate or any other but your flesh who is your chief enemy. When you fall in lust for your neighbour it is not your neighbour who is at fault but you. Your flesh needs to be brought under the power of the Cross and be slain daily. Just as Jesus got whipped so also you need to whip your flesh to submission. This is what Paul went through in his own journey which he writes clearly in his accounts. The tongue can rule your whole body but the tongue can only be controlled by your thoughts and your passions. Your lustful passions will think and speak your thoughts and feelings. Through your tongue power is released to bring about the action. Just as God spoke the worlds into being so also the power of your tongue can curse or bless. Therefore live as one dead to the flesh and alive in Christ to say and do according to His Spirit who lives in you.

LIVE BY FAITH

Walking on water is like stepping out of your boat of security into the unknown. This means you have to sail on your wings of faith. Faith is trust and dependence on God and not self. The more you do this the more miracles you will see. Most of us are comfortable living in the natural realm but God wants us to enter into the supernatural realm. Jesus walked on earth but He expected the supernatural. When you operate in His faith you too will see the supernatural work for you. You have seen glimpses of this but now it is time to walk in total surrender in this realm. This is to bring heaven to earth. This is to walk with a Kingdom mind set. This is to walk by faith and not by sight. Many will marvel at the miracles and see His presence in you and want it too. Jesus lives in you and wants to fill you with his Spirit. Now you can see and feel like Him because you will feel His feelings and sense His heart. No more stress by works but living by faith. Hallelujah what a life is this.

REST

Flowing with God is to rest in Him. He is the one working through you. You are just a vessel of His making to contain His Spirit. You are the temple and His Spirit in you is the one making the moves. When you come to this place of rest then all things begin to change. It is no longer I but Christ will be your song. You surrender all to Him and He takes your surrender and makes hay. He will feel through you and speak through you. You will minister through His Spirit in you. You will see others through His eyes and not yours. You will become compassionate and passionate for His cause. His cause is to save all from the fires of hell. No sinner is too lost to be saved. In His presence no sin can stand in the way of your salvation. He came to save the worst sinner. When you could not He could. He is the source of all you need to fight the evil that is so near. Many are blind because the deceiver has blinded your eyes. When you bind the evil one , he will be bound. Jesus has finished the work of binding him but you must exercise it. The work has been  done. Now all you need to do is exercise it by faith. Faith will destroy the works of the enemy. Blind eyes will see and be saved. Now when you speak the word the blind will see and be saved.

DISCERNMENT

In the spirit world there is a freedom unknown to the flesh world. This is why we need to be filled in the Spirit and walk by the Spirit. Anyone can enter into this realm but there are dangers. There are good spirits and bad spirits. They all occupy the same world of spirits. Many have entertained this world only to be trapped by demons. There is a fine line between good and evil. Evil always copies what is good. This is the devil's main tactic. He captures the simple through his hidden tactics of camouflage and deception. People are hood winked into believing what appears to be good only to be snared into his net. Therefore these are days when we need the spirit of discernment. What is the spirit behind the words and behaviours and feelings. What is evil will cause an unrest but what is good will bring peace. Behind every action there is a spirit. Kind words appear to be so but what is the spirit behind those words. Is it envy, greed or jealousy? It is not the words that matter but the spirit behind the words.  Only the spiritual can discern. In this day and age there needs to be discernment to know what is of God and what is of the devil. Appearances are deceptive. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

FREE IN THE SPIRIT

What you say to yourself matters. If what you say to your self is negative then this is what will result in your life. When you accept yourself and say loving things to yourself then health and wealth becomes your portion. Health is a state of mind. An unhealthy mind will result in an unhealthy body. Check your thoughts and see what you are thinking. Anger and jealousy will result in torment to your body and soul. Love and forgiveness will result in health and wealth to your body and soul. The spirit man in you will be free from the soul when you walk in love. What binds the spirit man is the negativity of the soul. When you die, the soul is released from the spirit. The spirit is free and goes to be with God. Now the spirit is bound to the body and soul. When you die to self you liberate your spirit to commune with God's Spirit. This communion results in a freedom that is heavenly. It is to this freedom you have been called in Christ. Identification with His death on the Cross results in your death to self and your spirit coming alive. In Him you are free to be a free spirit. You now are a ministering spirit in the world to minister to others. All your troubles are behind you when you move in the spirit and not in the flesh. This is how Jesus lived on earth and you are called to do the same.

HOMOSEXUALITY

Homosexuality is the sexual preference for a member of the same sex. God created man and women for each other. Companionship is alright between  man and man or a women and a women. However when this companionship becomes a sexual attraction then something has gone wrong. Sex was God's way of keeping his creation productive. The sexes were designed to be complementary. Sin has distorted this as it is recorded in Romans 1. This distortion has led to man wanting sex with men and women wanting sex with women. This distortion is not normal as it contravenes God's original design. A man lusts after other men and women after other woman. How can this be normal? Normality has become so tarnished by sin as what is abnormal has become normal. Because sin is the real problem therefore every distortion needs to be confessed and repented of. God can heal the homosexual like a sinner can be healed of any kind of sin and be set free. Our attitude to a homosexual should be the same as our attitude to any sin. We love the sinner but hate the sin. God never condemns and we should not either. However we cannot condone the sin for doing so is against the law of God. This is what happened in Sodom and Gomorrah. They brought judgement upon themselves through their sinful behaviour. So it is today. Sin will bring judgement as this is what the law demands.

SIGNS AND WONDERS FOLLOWING

God's manifest presence is what will set the people free. Jesus always demonstrated His presence by signs and wonders. He healed the sick, turned water into wine and set the captives free. This is to experience the tangible presence of God. This is what turns the hearts of people when they experience His tangible presence. People want to experience His presence. They have had enough of talk. They want to see action. God acts and this is why He recorded His acts in the Bible. He acted with Pharaoh when he refused to let His people go. God will act through you when you step out in faith and speak His now word. In all areas of your life believe and act on His impulse. His acts come as impulses. This is not your flesh acting impulsively. It is God acting spontaneously. In an atmosphere of faith God releases His gifts freely. The atmosphere is charged with faith and anything is possible. Therefore charge yourself in the spirit and operate in an atmosphere of faith and see signs and wonders happen in your midst.

HE IS THE ANSWER TO OUR NEEDS

His presence is what will lead you to hunger and thirst for more. Mary chose to be with the Lord for she was hungry for more. Martha chose to serve for she was committed to service. Both in their own way were worshipping their Lord. Both need to be acknowledged as the ways to serve the Lord. Listening to Him and serving others through Him. You are a ministering spirit to minister to the needs of others. Jesus was surrounded by people with needs. He answered them at the point of their need. We are all needy because we are incomplete without Him. We need Him daily to meet out needs. Only He can meet our deepest needs. He is our heavenly Father and in Him we have all our answers. He answers us when we call. He desires that we should call on Him. He is blessed when we call on Him. Therefore call on Him day and night till He answers. He is not slow to answer but there are hindrances in and without us that delay the answers. Persist till you have a break through. In Him there is no time limit for He is timeless.

MARRIAGE

Marriage designed by God is between  man and a woman. There is no place for marriage outside this arrangement. What man seeks to do is water down God's arrangement and thus distort and complicate matters. He does this to thwart God's purposes for good healthy living. God has the last word and just like Sodom and Gomorrah will be the fate of those who try and twist God's laws. He has given these laws to man for right living. All that is in the world is distorted and broken because man is broken. All arguments that try and dissolve what God has ordained will fail. Right living is based on God's commandments. The confusion arises when man tries to argue his way out of doing what God has commanded. Man does this to his own detriment. Therefore in God's law court there is only  right and wrong. There is no compromise in God. He is black and white in matters of law. The human law compromises because of social pressures that are based on the popular vote. Popularity does not mean that it is right. Popularity many times is the cause for a lot of bad laws being enacted. Righteousness will prevail when men pray and seek God for His truth.

RESILIENCE

Slay the enemy that tries to seduce you to walk according to the flesh and not of the Spirit. The enemy will come like a slithering and scheming agent to seduce you. He will make all kinds of excuses and work on your resistance. Resist him firmly. In resistance you grow resilience. This resilience will see you through the tough times. Tough times come to strengthen you to persevere when all else fails. Perseverance is a Godly character and is found in those who never give up. God will never give up on you for He knows the battles you have to fight. He has been tempted in the same areas that you do. Therefore when you call on the Name of Jesus He comes and takes over. This is not weakness because He has done it all for you. He does not want you to fight in the flesh. He wants you to fight in the spirit. In the spirit He operates through His Spirit to help you overcome. All fleshly battles can be overcome in the spirit. Therefore go and fight and be an overcomer for He lives in you.

FAMILY

The family is the core of society. Without the family there will be chaos. God designed the family. He created male and female to serve the purpose of creating a family. God is a family of 3. He is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They have different roles but are one. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are one. The husband and wife become one flesh to create children who then go on to do the same. In this way the family grows and becomes a larger group of families that live to serve each other. A family divided is a curse. A family united is a blessing. God always intended for the family to be united and strong. Sin however will divide  and not unite. This is why we need to be on our guard against any division. Love unites. Love never divides. The height of love is demonstrated by Christ's death on the Cross. He died to heal divisions caused by sin. There was no other way to conquer sin and the devil. He died that love may heal the wounds caused through sin. Where there is love no sin can thrive. Sin thrives in negativity. Love is positive and powerful and will overcome all things. Therefore choose to love at all times.

WALKING IN HIS CONSCIOUS PRESENCE

Jesus is with you all the time. We forget this because we become distracted by other things. The consciousness of Jesus being with us all the time will make us behave differently. He is our Comforter and friend. He is our Helper and Encourager. He is everything to us and yet we forget He is with us all the time. We are so caught up with the world and worldly pursuits that stimulate our senses that we forget about Him. It is time to surrender our senses to Him. He will then work through our senses. We will see through His eyes and hear  through His ears and touch with His touch and smell an aroma that is His presence. This is the work of His Holy Spirit. What a wonder this is that we can enter the holy of holies and be in His presence all the time. This is the communion He wants to have with us. He is no respecter of persons and is available to all and all can experience His presence 24/7. Go forth today and be in His presence and see how His angels will minister to you. Expect miracles and you will see miracles. Get out of your prison and be free and fly like a bird.

BATTLES

Prepare for the battle ahead. How do you prepare? By prayer and readiness at all times. Never get slack for the enemy will attack. When you are on guard then you will always be ready. This battle needs to be fought on a daily basis. There is no time to rest. Rest is for the next life in heaven. Here the only rest you will get is in total surrender. This is the only way to fight the battles. In this state you allow the Lord to fight your battles. He is Lord only when He is Lord of your life. You cannot be lord and make Him Lord at the same time. There can only be one master. When you pray in the spirit He works through your prayers. Pray all the time for this is the ministry of the Spirit. Without prayer you will be working in your own strength. Through prayer you are operating on His resources. All of life is an illusion because you live your life through your mind. What you see and do emerge from your state of mind. If you are in a depressed state then that is the reality for you. In a Spirit filled state you see a different reality to the one in the fleshly state. In prayer you are always ready in the spirit for the battle. Therefore whatever you are doing, be in prayer and His Spirit will fill your day with joy.

PERCEPTION

The light has come into the world and dwelt among men but they did not see it. How can there be light and men still not see? This is amazing because what you see many times is not what is there! You maybe looking for something that is right before your eyes and still not see it. This is due to faulty perception. You are looking for some thing which you have already assumed must look like something but don't see it because it does not look the way you thought it should look. You are therefore blind and cannot see. Jesus came into the world as the light of the world but the world did not see Him. They had already decided how the Messiah should look like and Jesus did not fit their image of the Messiah and therefore they did not see. The devil has blinded the world to the things of the spirit and therefore man goes searching in the wrong places and finds he has searched for nothing. Jesus has come and now He is calling all those who will hear the Spirit calling to hearken to His call. This is the final hour of His calling. Come now to the Saviour and be made whole.

THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOUR HELPER

The Holy Spirit is your helper. He helps you with your daily needs both material and spiritual and emotional. Jesus always looked to the Holy Spirit to meet His needs. When he needed a miracle a miracle was provided. When He needed healing, healing was provided. He proved that He could supply all His needs. So also when you are filled in the Spirit and walk in the Spirit all your needs also will be met by the Spirit. The Spirit is above all things. This is why it is total freedom to be poor in everything so that you can be rich in the Spirit. The process of coming to this point of surrender is called sanctification. Live as if you have nothing and see how you will live in the abundance of God. The poor in spirit are rich for they have to depend totally on God for their supplies. What you have now is nothing compared to your riches in Christ Jesus. Communion with the Holy Spirit sets you apart from others. He will lead you and guide you in all things. You will be free to move freely because you are led by Him. No more hindrances because all hindrances will make way for Him. The devil and his followers will have no power over you. This is to live the kingdom life on earth as it is in heaven. Even in prison you will experience the heavenly life. This is why you can rejoice at all times and in all places.

THOUGHTS AND TIMING

The thoughts that go through your mind keeps you in the straight and narrow way. If your thoughts wander away then you will wander away too. Therefore keep a check on your thoughts. The devil will insinuate thoughts but you can choose. When you walk in the consciousness of the now then you are awake. When you are on automatic mode then you are more susceptible to attacks. Watch therefore and pray for this is the only way to keep moving forward. A stalemate is not a good position to be in. You never move anywhere and will fossilise and die. Change is what keeps you moving forward and change always results in new growth. However change for the sake of change is no use either. The change must have a focus and a goal. As long as you are changing in the process of reaching your goal then this is good change. God is always sowing new thoughts into you. These thoughts enable you to move forward. He knows the desires of your heart and therefore His timing is perfect. Too many premature babies have been born and die prematurely. So also there is a time and and a season for everything and a project on time will breed good fruits. Wait therefore on the Lord and do not be hasty in your decisions. Wait till you know and then go and do.

HIS WORD,YOUR WEAPON.

The attacks of the devil come in the form of negatives. Every negative assault needs to be attacked with God's positive word. His word is your sword. His word will tear down every negative force that is sent against you. As you enter the foray more of these darts will be hurled at you. It comes in subtle forms and only His Spirit can help you discern the hand of the enemy in it. Many praises of men are just the way the enemy will try and topple you. He will send his emissaries to praise you just to make you think you are good only to topple you. He will raise you up so that you will fall harder. Never give in to those praise reports which strengthen your flesh or ego. Always remain in the position of Christ alone is sufficient for me. My flesh is a deadly enemy that seeks to destroy me. How can this be when the flesh is part of me? This is how the enemy works. His only entrance is through your flesh. This is why Jesus said that you must carry your cross, death to the flesh, and follow me. There is no other way but the way of the Cross. This is the way of death to self which is the main enemy against full surrender. Only full surrender will bring the glory of God into the present. You either blow up in His presence or grow up. Growing up occurs when you are submitted to Him. Many have blown up because their inflated egos have touched the glory of God. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

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.

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.
