BLESSED TO BE A BLESSSING

Sanctification is a process. The Holy Spirit living within you is doing the work of cleansing and purifying. When you surrender to Him He burns up the dross and cleanses you. This is a ongoing process. The flesh will always try to go its own way but the Spirit will direct you His way. His way is the only way to live an abundant life. His life in you is the source of your strength. You are a spear head and He is the spear. He will propel you to unmask the enemy and put him to flight. The Lord is powerful and His presence in you is your power source. When you realise this then nothing is impossible for you to do. All the resources of heaven are available to you. Fret not and you will want not. Fretting is a sign of fleshy desires not met. The flesh yearns to satisfy itself while the Spirit wants to satisfy the needs of others. The outlook of one is inward while the other is outward. You can decide from this what spirit is controlling you. The Holy Spirit always serves others and never serves itself. You are filled to fill. You are blessed to bless. So rejoice in your blessing and never compare yourself with others.

LED BY THE SPIRIT

When led by the Spirit you will be reminded of what needs to be done and who you need to contact and given new insights into things. The Spirit will guide you and grant you wisdom as what to do. If you draw a blank then it is time to wait and pray. Prayer prepares you to allow the Spirit to work through till a solution is found. This is exciting for now you are operating from above and not from below. To operate from above is to operate in the might of the Spirit and not the flesh. For spiritual break throughs only waiting on the Spirit can do. It is His work and we are to follow Him. In the flesh we do in our ability. In the Spirit He does in His ability. Which would you prefer? You are to enjoy life because all your needs are met in Him. When you struggle to survive you are just existing and not living. To live is to breathe the pure air of the Spirit. He will infuse you with His holy air and all your cells of your being will be revived and you will mount up like an eagle and never be phased again. Your strength comes from the Spirit within you. This is why when you pray you just voice the words of the Spirit from your spirit and not from your head. This is powerful intercession and will get through to the heart of the people and transform them. Be filled today in the Spirit and live life to the full.

UNITY IN SPIRIT

In the Spirit there is unity. This unity can never be achieved in the flesh. When saints come together in the Spirit then there will be unity. In this atmosphere the Spirit will move powerfully in gifts distributed freely. The saints will exercise these gifts to bless each other. Healing, peace and love will flow freely. Fears will be vanquished and hope will be restored.There will be such a uniting of hearts that all needs will be met. In the flesh there will be envy and jealousy and back biting. In the Spirit there will be love, joy and peace. This is why the Kingdom of God restores righteousness , peace and joy. The church is God's Kingdom on earth. Yet there is so much of the world in His church. Man then tries to control the fleshly sins by introducing rules for right conduct. The church then splits because egos are hurt. This is the story of the church but God's church moves on despite this. For this time we have to contend with both the worldly church and His church. His church cannot be walled in but is free and is the universal church in the Spirit. We have communion with Him and His saints will continue to do His work in all parts of the world where they are called to serve. So do not be discouraged or dismayed. God is in control and His Kingdom will be established on earth as it is in heaven.

YOUR NEW NATURE

God has given you a new nature when you were made a new creation in Christ. He has given you a new heart. This means you have His nature in you. Hard to believe but it is true. I have given you a new heart and put my Spirit within you. The old has passed and the new has come. So why is it that we still operate in our old self still? This is because we stopped believing in His promises. We need to continuously walk in His presence to experience His nature. We can choose to walk in the flesh or in the Spirit. When we choose to walk in the flesh then the old feelings and thinking operate. In the new, the new nature operates. This is why you find that when you walk in the Spirit the new feelings and thoughts come alive. We are called to walk in the Spirit all the time not sometime! How can one do this unless there is total surrender to Him. As long as we are in the flesh we will be tempted to walk in our old ways. This is where discipline and constant battle with the flesh and the devil take place. But when you walk in your new nature the flesh has no attention at all. The devil can't touch you when walk in the Spirit. The key is to be filled daily in the Spirit and to walk by the Spirit.

REGRESSIVE FEELINGS

When regressive feelings assail you, trust the Lord to hold you. He knows your heart and these feelings will come and go. The devil will condemn you for these feelings but the Lord will hold you. All the experiences you go through are allowed by the Lord who is your keeper. He will hold you and comfort you and bring you to the place of victory. These feelings will pass. Remember you belong to Him and so you will be a target for the devil who hates you. Know the Lord loves you and He has experienced the same feelings. Therefore rise up and be bold and tell the devil to go away. The Lord looks at the heart of man and not his actions. David was a man after the heart of God, yet he fell into regressive ways. This is the human condition and only the Lord can save us. Sin will always be a source of failure and discomfort on earth. Sin will never be a problem in heaven. Therefore watch and pray that you maybe kept from sins way.

STAY FIXED

Staying fixed on Jesus is vital when the storms rage and the clouds are dark and heavy. Jesus rested in the boat while everyone else panicked. He rested in His Father's love and care. Now you can rest in Jesus lap when the storms rage around you. The enemy will send these storms but you are ruled from within and not from without. When you rule from within then what is inside you is more important then what is outside you. Popular support does not last for people change their minds like the wind. Therefore it is important to stay the course when things do not go your way. It is the strong that last to the end of the race. Life is a race for death is a reality. Today will never come again. Time and tide waits for no man. So make the best of today and leave the rest to God. This is the only way to live a vibrant life. Enjoy today and praise God you are alive and well. Nothing else matters for what you have today is the best you can have today.

PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE

There are many voices that will invade your space and take your attention. You must take charge and decide which ones you will entertain. Thoughts are sent to you from different sources including spiritual sources. When you are fixed in purpose and know who you are and what your purpose is, then distracting thoughts will enable you to stay on course. You will make choices minute by minute to stay focussed on your reason for living  and not be detracted. Jesus faced the Cross daily in His life because He knew that was His purpose. You have one purpose now to be His witness in a torn and hopeless world. You are the only sign of the Christ the world will see. He has called you for this purpose and to this purpose you must stay fixed. All your faculties will come in line when you are fixed in purpose. Everything that comes along will serve your larger purpose. Now is the time to rise above the chaos and confusion of the world like a plane that rises above the clouds. Now in the Spirit you can cruise daily above the clouds and reach your destination on time. Nothing is going to delay your arrival because the angels of heaven are with you. Your calling is sure and God is with you every inch of the way. It is this confidence in Him that will drive you forward and with purpose.

RESURRECTION POWER

There is power in the Cross because it is a positive sign of the power of God. The Cross is a symbol of salvation and resurrection power. Without the Cross there would not be a resurrection. Death to self is bearing one's own cross. Death to self enables one to access the resurrection power of the cross. We cannot walk in the flesh and the Spirit. The only way to walk in the Spirit is through death to self. This is why the cross is the only answer to resurrection power. However many embrace the Cross but not the power. They embrace the Cross to go through the slavish cycle of sin and repentance. The answer is to walk in the Spirit and the flesh will have no power over you. We however want to embrace the flesh and the Spirit. A divided mind will go no where. Embrace the Cross and the resurrection power of Jesus and see how your walk will be amazing. The resurrection power of Jesus will release the power of heaven on earth to do His will as it is in heaven. His power will change your world upside down. You will walk right side up and see the world through His eyes. Praise the Lord.

KINGDOM OF GOD

Prayer is like breathing. If you stop breathing you are dead. If you stop praying, you are dead spiritually. When you pray you are in communion with the Father and He communicates with you and spiritual resources are available to you. You were born a spiritual being and without the breath of God you are just existing and not living. A living being breathes. Breathe on me breath of God till I am wholly thine. The Spirit is like breath. You breathe in the Spirit. How can we live without praying? Praying is not just asking for things. It is a relationship with the Father. It is to be in fellowship with the One who created you. God has established prayer as a means of resourcing and doing His will on earth as it is in heaven. Without His resources we cannot build His Kingdom. His Kingdom is not of this world. He is building a spiritual Kingdom where He is King. His disciples on earth build His Kingdom on earth by praying and sharing His life. Man builds a replica of God's Kingdom. His Kingdom is unseen and therefore it is only when we begin to walk in the unseen world that we truly see His Kingdom. The church maybe dying but His church is growing. So do not judge His church by external standards. He knows those who are His and they know Him. Therefore praise God at all times for the unseen Kingdom of God.

UP IN THE SPIRIT

When you are on a downer look to the Spirit for an upper. The Spirit will lift you up when you are feeling down. The Spirit works from within you to change your thinking and feeling. You access His thoughts rather then your thoughts. Praying in tongues stirs up the Spirit within you and the flow of thoughts will begin. Now you have access to another source of thoughts  and these thoughts then ignite the corresponding feelings of love, peace and joy. This is how you will need to run your life when things get you down. There are different mood states you will go through the day. Remember the feelings will pass. But you can do something to stay on top. Pray in tongues and this is a sure way to cut through the miasma of thoughts and feelings that depress you. The Spirit has been given to you to stand against the assaults from within and without. Stay fixed in the Spirit so that you don't get distracted by this and that. This and that are sent to discourage you and to pull you down. This is a daily battle you have to wage in the Spirit. When you are led by the Spirit there is no failure for He is in charge. What appears to be a weakness or failure turns out to be part of the course to success. Success is not winning but achieving what you hope to attain. There is no competition here only the way to bless and be blessed.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE

God works in mysterious ways and all we have to do is wait and pray. Spiritual battles need spiritual weapons to fight the battle. No use using human weapons to fight a spiritual war. Spiritual warfare is raged in the heavenlies and not on earth. The spiritual forces are ethereal and therefore cannot be seen yet they are real. When you enter into the realm of the spirutual then it is what is unseen that matters. Your spiritual eyes will be able to see the battle in the heavenlies. We have to fight this battle that is waging war against the souls of men and women to claim them for hell. Prayer is the one vehicle of warfare that will enable the saint to claim souls for heaven. Nothing can move the mountain but faith filled prayers. God is dependent on us to intercede for souls gripped in the cares of this world. Satan sends trouble to distract us from our heavenly calling. Therefore spend time in intercession for all the people and situations that the Lord brings to your mind. Let your thoughts be committed to prayer for as you do so heaven is moved to intervene.

CONFLICTS

In the Spirit all is good. In the flesh all is confusion and discord. The flesh seeks conflict for it is through conflict that it is defined. A lack of definition causes conflict. It is through conflict that one becomes known. It is an inherent nature of man to conflict. Wars and battles are the larger arena of human conflict. Without conflict man feels undefined and useless. This challenge is what keeps the human race alive. Therefore when there is no conflict it does not mean it is all peace. No conflict means avoidance of conflict. The conflict has been internalised. When the conflict is internalised then it breaks forth in mental and physical illness. Man externalises conflict because he wants to blame someone else for his unrest. This unrest will continue till he is able to define himself. In the Spirit there is real peace. The flesh is dead in the spirit. It is the flesh that seeks to be defined and known. The lack of knowing is what causes conflicts. In the Spirit you are known and at peace because you can rest in Him. It is no longer I but Christ. It is Christ within who now rules and not self. When self is cancelled then there is no place for conflict. Who would you fight with if there is no self to fight for? Be filled in the Spirit and walk in the Spirit and walk in peace.

HEART TRANSFORMATION

Prayer is the lifeline for a christian. It is through prayer that you commune with your Father in heaven. He communes with you through prayer. Just like we need to communicate with each other so also we need to communicate with the Father. We need to share and listen. He is a listener but also will reveal His mind to you. He reveals His mind by sowing His thoughts into you. You know they are His thoughts because you sense a difference in them. I know that I know is the way to go. He knows your deepest needs and speaks to your heart. It is heart change that results in life change. Mere head knowledge does not change anything. When your heart is touched then your mind also changes. When I came to experience the Father's love I felt a deep transformation happen within me. It is the Father's love that will transform you from an enemy of the Cross to a friend. Salvation is in no other name under heaven. When Jesus knocks at the door of your heart, open it and let Him in. He will come as a permanent occupant in your heart. By His Spirit He will reveal things to you that you have never imagined.

GOD'S WILL BE DONE

How good it is to let the Lord do His thing and let go of your own agenda. There is so much freedom in doing this. The ego is replaced by God who then takes over to do His now thing. His now word is the most important word for today. Therefore whenever you find yourself thinking of yourself, take charge let go and let God. This is the only way to live a abundant life. Abundance comes from total surrender to Him. Why do we need to control? Because we are not resting in Him. We only need to control when we want our own way. When it is His way then we can relax because His way is better. It is better because it will have eternal effects. Whatever we do in our own strength is temporary. How good it is to be guided by the Holy Spirit to speak His now word which will bear fruit in abundance. Therefore live as if it is your last day on earth and live in complete surrender to His will. Pray thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven today in my life and see the difference.

HIS GLORY

The Lord shows up where people surrender all to Him and expect Him to show up. His glorious presence is something worth pursuing. Once you have tasted His presence you will want more. His tangible presence is what makes the difference between heaven and earth. In His presence there is total freedom because you are in His presence. Here you feel loved and secure and accepted. There is no place on earth or in heaven like being in His presence. He comes where He is loved and expected. God moves mightily on earth and He is no Respector of persons. He will appear to anyone who will call on Him by faith. A little child can call on Him. His Name is Jesus. Call on His Name and see the difference He will make. He will come and transform your situation by His presence. All the fear and worry will be removed and His peace will infiltrate your space. This is possible only through His Spirit who roams the earth and looks for people of faith. He responds to your cry for more and He will come. Only be in faith. His glory is His presence  and in His glory miracles happen. Lord come and manifest yourself in our midst today.

PRAY CONSTANTLY

Pray constantly. How does one pray constantly? This means we walk and talk prayer. We offer up all we have to God. Prayer is 2 way communion with God. When He is centre of our life then we are in communion with Him all the time. When we talk, we talk as if we are talking to Him. Our speech becomes holy conversation. It is Holy Spirit inspired conversation. We watch how we talk and interact with others. We are quick to quell anything that is not worthy. This is to walk in the fulness of the Spirit. Prayer becomes a way of life. We are interceding for others rather then spending time day dreaming. We offer up our whole beings to God. When prayer becomes a lifestyle then our walk and our talk becomes a life of prayer. Prayer brings God into the midst. We are vessels of His glory and usher in His presence wherever we go. How good is that? Living in His presence all the time is to encase ourselves in Him. We will live in His bubble of glory. Anything is possible where God is present. His presence goes with you. You become His vessel of glory to bless others. The most blessed person is you.

FAITH BELIEVES

Mighty is the Name of the Lord. His Name is greater and higher then any other name in heaven or on earth. Therefore when you ask anything in His Name there is power to receive. He said so Himself in Matt:7:7. Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened,  When you know that He will answer, all you need to do now is praise Him for the answer. This is to walk by faith. Faith believes even before the answer is received. It is sure that the answer will come. Do not let time stop you from praising Him. Time is not a factor in God's answer. He is eternal and you too need to have a eternal perspective to prayer. His timing is perfect for He sees the end from the beginning. How good is that! We only see in part and therefore never really see the whole picture. We can trust Him to do what is best. When we walk in this trust we can rest and not be agitated or condemn ourselves. There is total freedom to ask and not fear, for He is a good Father and He wants the best for His children. All the trials we go through are a test of our trust in Him. The disciples were all killed because of His Name. Are you ready to go the same way? Jesus said you must leave all to follow Him. He left all and He demands the same of His followers.

HIS WILL BE DONE

 Many fold blessings follow the man who seeks the Lord and His ways first in his life. God is at work in you and will bless you as you choose to walk in His ways. You have a choice daily to walk in His ways or your way. God never stops you from walking in your way. He comes to guide you when you call on Him and acknowledge Him as Lord. He is a Father who walks beside you and never dictates how you should walk. This is why you need to listen to Him always and not give into your fears. The devil will come to sow his thoughts but you must resist him and he will flee. The word of God is a good weapon to use when you resist. Pray the word of God into situations and see them change according to His word. When you see a situation that is ungodly then pray the word into the situation and see the situation change according to His word. This is what spiritual warfare is. Turning what is evil for good. The world is controlled by the devil but God is in control overall. When His people pray then God comes in to reverse the situation to His way and will. This is what it means to pray Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In heaven there is peace, love, unity, prosperity and health. Pray His will be done and you usher these fruits into your situation.

HIGHER SENSE OPERATION

Precious are the moments with the Lord and His indwelling Spirit is able to direct your thoughts to Him. He is a constant companion and friend and will never leave you. He is always with you encouraging you in the ways of the Lord. Listen to Him for He will speak through others and even through daily incidents and nature. God is moving through every situation and creation and so you must see beyond what you see. You can see but you also can perceive. Perception is to do with the meaning behind the seeing. A glass half full can be perceived as half empty. So look to the Spirit who will speak through your senses. He uses the same channels for communication as your physical senses. The difference is that you know it is from the Spirit and not from your physical senses. This is a higher form of sense perception. A dog can see what you don't see and smell what you don't smell. It is a higher sense that enables these creatures to serve mankind. You need to cultivate this higher sense through the gifts of the Spirit. Power is released when you operate from this dimension. Therefore operate from this place today and see how you will live in abundance.

SELFISHNESS

Friend of sinners is He, Jesus. He came that the world may connect back to God. The Father sent His Son so that fellowship could be restored with Him. Sin has cut off mankind from God. Now God had to find a way to restore the relationship. God took the initiative and sent His Son to die for the sins of the world. God is the author and He is the finisher. Man may have his own ideas but God's ideas are what matters. His word was sent to make the way for His Word to come to earth to redeem mankind from the prison of self and sin. Self is what hinders all from enjoying abundant life. Jesus promised abundant life but self continues to want to spoil it. Abundant life is only possible to those who are willing to surrender all to Jesus and be His light in a fallen world. The world is controlled by sin and there is no escape but through the Cross. There is no remedy but the blood of Jesus. Therefore today claim your inheritance in Him and do not waste your life in selfish living. The curse of mankind is selfishness. Once delivered from this, you become whole as Jesus.

REVEALING CHRIST IN YOU

Confidence flows from knowing who you are in Christ. In Christ you have everything you need to be confident. He will impart His life to you. He knows who are His and He is for you and not against you. He gave His own Spirit to dwell in you. Your spirit is now in Him. Infused with His Spirit you are one with Him. So in the Spirit you are like Jesus on earth. This is your new identity. You are a new creation in Christ. Live in your new identity and walk in confidence. Share your thoughts and feelings freely with others so that others can connect with Christ in you. If you are a closed book then no one can get to know you. Don't be worried about making mistakes. When you are true to yourself then you are living in true unity of spirit, mind and body. Taking risks is to walk by faith. You don't have to be right all the time. All you need be is to be genuine, truthful and transparent. Defences build a wall that keep others out. Therefore to influence others you have to be true to yourself and this means revealing Christ in you.

SIN AND RIGHTEOUSNESS

Almighty God has His hand upon you. When you think of His hand on Israel, you will marvel at His works. God chose to demonstrate His love through this nation and this nation continues to be tested and challenged. They are the scum of the earth and hated by many but loved by God. Whom God loves no man can stand against. If God is for you, who can be against you? God is against the proud and the powerful, He is for the poor and the humble. God never causes sin, for He is not the author of sin. He allows sin to prove the goodness of the righteous. He is righteous and He allowed His only begotten Son to die on the Cross not for His sin but the sins of the world. Now in Him we have access to His righteousness and love. God so loved the world that He gave. Love always gives and does not withhold. The world will withold because it is ruled by the power of sin. It is sin that causes you to behave selfishly. When the power of sin is cancelled then you are no more a slave to sin but to righteousness. Therefore go and sin no more.

WHOLE IN HIM

Have faith in God for He is a faithful and loving Father. He will never leave you or forsake you. He is always with you,  protecting you from the enemy who is out to destroy you. The angels cover you and protect you. When you walk through the valley He is there beside you. He is your comforter and friend. In Him all things exist. He is the Alpha and the Omega. He is the beginning and the end. Therefore in Him you are. Being is more important then doing. When you are, then you can do all things through Him. Being in Him is to be one with Him. He is in the centre of your being. Without Him you are just a mass of atoms. In Him you are a person. A person is more then what you see. A person is the sum total of body, mind and spirit. God is Spirit and you commune with God through your spirit. He made you and He knows all about you. Therefore in Him you are made whole to be.

ABUNDANT LIVING

The Lord is good and His mercies are forever. You cannot live a second without His grace covering you. You are under the shadow of His wing. This is the place of rest. In Him you have all you need to live an abundant life. Abundant life is in the Spirit and not the flesh. The flesh is immersed in conflicts. In the Spirit there is freedom for the soul and body. You are spirit as God is spirit. You have a earthly body that will perish one day. All the laws enacted are to serve the body. The body needs limits for its functioning. Laws are enacted to protect the body from bad things. There is no need for laws where there is freedom. Therefore operate in the spirit and your body will follow. In the flesh there will be confusion for there is no perfect law that can rule the body. You give opinions and relate based on what you know. The Spirit is all knowing and therefore is not limited to earthly laws of nature. God operates in the impossible realm and therefore is able to operate above the laws of nature. When you are connected to Him anything is possible. Even death has no power in God. Jesus proved this through His resurrection. In this power you operate today to rule and reign with Him in heavenly places.

PRAY FIRST

1Tim:2:1 Pray first. Prayer comes first in the life of a christian. To pray is to worship and acknowledge God and His Lordship over my life. I commit all things to Him. I pray for my needs and the needs of others including those in government and those who are above me. God has placed people in positions to govern so that we may live in peace. Whatever the policy or ideology, the government is there to govern the people. This means responsibility to deliver what will meet the basic needs of the people of the land. Prayer involves God. Not to pray is to live in the wisdom of your own. This is disastrous for we only know in part and therefore our decisions will be partial. We are influenced by our own knowledge and experience which is partial. God is all knowing and seeking His wisdom is for the good of all and not some. This world operates on what is good for some and the people in power gain the most. God works for the poor and leaves the rich to themselves. Pray for peace. Walk in love, faith and holiness and see peace being restored to your land. You have been placed as watch men. A watch man waits and prepares daily for the time when he has to act to protect and keep safe the people and inheritance given to him. So pray that God will protect and preserve and evil will be overcome.

HOPE FOR THE HOPELESS

God is merciful and full of love and he will never let you go. He will embrace you and keep you in the palm of his hands and will succour you like a mother with her child. This is our God who knows everything about you and nothing is hidden from Him. How could you wander away from Him who is your Keeper and friend. In Him is all righteousness and without Him all is sin and hopelessness. The world is moving rapidly to self destruct for there is no purpose in it all, for all ends in death. Therefore why live is what the world asks, for we all will  one day die? In Him there is hope and that everlasting. In death too there is hope in Him because your spirit is one with Him. In Him the hopeless find hope and the wanderer finds home. Come to Him and be blessed for I have found Him to be a faithful Father to me. God is good and though men may despise Him, He will be true to His word. Therefore do not judge by what you see but believe and be saved. The gospel is as simple as a,b,c but we complicate it by our own fallen wisdom. Jesus came that we may live and be with Him forever. Come to Jesus today and be saved. Taste and see that the Lord is good.

PROMISES OF GOD

The promises of God are yes and amen in Jesus.Therefore we can ask and believe that we have received what we have asked in Jesus Name. His name is the ticket to His promises. His promises are for us to enjoy but are limited to our faith. When our faith is connected to His Name then we will have all we ask. Just as a son is inheritor to his father's will so we have access to His will. His will for us is good and we have access to His will when we ask in Jesus Name. This is why His Name is greater then all other names. No other name is sufficient for our salvation. Salvation includes all things. We have been saved from sin and illness to His abundance and health. This is why all His promises are yes and amen. When we pray we must believe. To believe is to trust and obey. Obedience comes with trust. There is no obedience without trust. Trust comes first. A child will obey whom he loves. If you love the Father then you will trust and obey Him. Jesus did this and therefore the Father gave Him all things. All things were under Him. Now He has given you His Spirit so that you too can reign as Jesus did on earth. His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

PURPOSE

Purpose is what brings life to living. No purpose means just existing from day to day. God has given you a purpose and that is to live life to the full. Fear keeps you bound while love gives you hope. This hope is a living hope for the living Christ lives in you. You are no more a thing that exists for nothing. You are a living person who has a purpose and a destiny. This destiny is hid in Christ. This is what drives you daily to seek for the highest for His glory. Jesus walked on earth to please His Father in heaven. You too must order your life in such a way that what drives you must inspire others to follow your Master. Your Master is not a hard task master. He leads and all you do is follow. He leads by bringing you to a place of rest and not strive. Striving is in the flesh. Resting is in the Spirit. THe Spirit knows and operates from a different realm and when you walk in the Spirit you walk by faith and not by sight. Therefore today walk with purpose knowing that your destiny is assured in Him.

THINK POSITIVE

 When you are feeling down, look up. This is the only way to stay up. Feelings come and go and therefore like clouds you know the sunshine is behind the clouds. Do not let your feelings dictate how you behave. Always think positive for in this way you keep yourself up. Even when negative thoughts invade your space, think positive. This is a deliberate action for the default mode will be to build on negatives. To reverse this tendency you have to intentionally think positive. A positive outlook will result in a positive action. When you are fixed on the Cross then you can see all negative thoughts being cancelled. His blood cleanses you. You don't have to wait for a positive event to change you. You can create a positive event through positive thoughts. If you decide to exercise then this will lead to action and this action will get you out of your negative state. Negativity saps your energy. Knowing that you are in His hands will enable you to be positive in all circumstances. He has taken all the negativity and replaced it with His resurrection power. When you fix your mind on the positive power of God then like a jet engine you will take off and fly like an eagle.

UNDERSTANDING

The differences between us is not in our looks but in our beliefs. Our looks maybe different but this is not what divides us but our beliefs. Our beliefs determine if I am for you or against you. These differences can exist even within families. Differences in ideology in governments and nations cause conflict. So examine each others beliefs and assumptions and you will find that all other differences are minor. All barriers will be broken down when you are able to understand what is making the other person behave the way they do. This understanding of the other's perspective is what will bring about change. When others are understood then conflict will diminish. When one tries to convince the other of one owns view without understanding the other then conflict will ensue. Both sides need to be willing to understand then to be understood. This is the platform for change. Lack of understanding results in premature judgements. When you go with an attitude to understand rather then to be understood then all barriers come down. If you fail to understand than you will fail to be understood. When I understand your world then you become my friend. All other differences are superficial.

CREATED TO REJOICE

God's purpose in all creation is to have a relationship with His creation. When we relate with others we reflect God's love with His creation. When we reject what God has created we reject God. When a person gives you a gift and it is rejected then you are actually not only rejecting the gift but also the giver. Embrace all of God's creation and this is what true love means. God never rejects anyone. He loves everyone because He created us for a purpose. We can now choose to be channels of His love or channels for Satan's works. Many choose to go their own way and live in despair. Selfishness is the curse of sin. Sin turns a person inward. Whenever you find yourself turning inward, it is a sign of sin working in you. Sin is subtle in its ways of gratifying self. It never glorifies God or His creation. It is always negative and doom and gloom are its song. Praise, joy and worship is the song of God.Therefore watch how you walk today, in sin or in joy.

MOVE OUT

God is waiting for you to move out rather then stay in. Staying in is a regressive state while moving out is a progressive state. If you want to break through then you have to move out. Moving out means to move in the direction of change. When you are stuck in a rut then all you think of doing is remaining stuck. When you decide to move out of your rut then you will move till the rut becomes shallow enough for you to climb out of the rut and into freedom. Salvation is the same. You are stuck in a merry go round of no change. You decide to step out of this and you see a new world before you. Many are stuck in a rut of relationships or jobs or groups. These all are systems that are stuck. When you choose to go against the strain you will cause chaos but through this change will occur. Be a change agent and see the world change around you. The Holy Spirit will help you to achieve this as you move out in His power and see things change before you. Jesus did not conform to the rules of the day. He spoke with authority and changed the world from a rut to a path. The path led to eternal life and not to death. He died that I may have life and that eternal.

JESUS IS LORD

Jesus is Lord. He is the only Lord and Saviour of the world. There is no other Lord that can save you from an eternity in hell. This is the message that the world needs to hear and there is no other way to salvation. People of the Truth must be clear in their stand otherwise the message of the gospel will be confusing. There is no compromise as Jesus died for all. No Buddha, Shiva or Mohammed will do. Jesus and only Jesus will do. This is the passion that will drive the church to revival. Jesus died for me  and I must be prepared to die for Him. He purchased me with His own blood and now I have a hope of an eternity with Him. He rose from the dead and lives today to save all who will call on His Name. Will you join the millions who will die for Him and His cause? You will never be the same when you decide for Jesus. Self must die for Jesus to be Lord. Make Him Lord of your life today.

HE CARES FOR YOU

The Lord will make a way where there is no way. Just wait on Him and be blessed. He will come through for you in His time. He is a great Father of us all and His Father heart will never let you go. He is a sustainer of all things. He created you for His purpose. He will provide for you till the end. In God there is no beginning and no ending, for He is eternal. Therefore live as if life is an endless journey. This means you live fully for this new day and do all you can to worship and praise His Name. His Name is branded on your forehead. You belong to Him and nothing can take you away from Him. How good it is to know that we are together forever. There are things we lose on earth but this loss is nothing compared to the loss of a life in eternity with Him. See each contact you make today be your calling for ministry. When you  lead your life with a mission to save as many as possible from an eternity in hell then you will walk with a mission for life. Those who reject you, reject Him. Therefore do not take it personally, for You are responsible only to share the gift of salvation. Go boldly and share and be blessed.

ABUNDANT LIVING

Praise God who gives me the knowledge and wisdom I need when I need it. I need to stay in the Spirit and will have access to his wisdom all day. I need to pray in tongues as often as I can to stay in the Spirit. When conflicts and differences arise I will then have the wisdom to know what to do. The Spirit is ever willing but the flesh wants to do it, its own way. This is the problem you have. In the Spirit you can arise above the circumstances but in the flesh you are bound to the circumstances. In the Spirit you are free but in the flesh you are bound. In the Spirit Jesus is Lord but in the flesh you are lord. You have to choose daily to walk by the Spirit. This is the only way to live a victorious life. Then all the resources of the Spirit world will be available to you. Angels will minister to you and for you. Your  walk and talk will be a blessing to all. Many will be attracted to you and you will be a blessing to many. This is the way to live an abundant life in the Spirit. This is what Jesus promised. Now go and do the same.

FAITH IN GOD

Holy is the Lord and worthy of all praise and glory. He is and therefore you are. You are in Him and He is in you. He is the Father of all. He yearns to make Himself known to all but religion keeps Him out. Religion is man made road to God. Faith is God's way to Him. There are people of faith in all religions. They exercise their faith rather then their religious practices. God cannot be confined to one religious way. He reveals Himself to all who call on Him. He does not reject the Muslim or the Hindu. The devil is accessible to all too. He will infiltrate all who seek for truth. He will distort and disguise and deceive. When you seek Him with all your heart you will come to the place of liberty. God will guide you when you seek Him with all your heart. Many are the devices of the evil one who will tempt you to compromise and accept all things rather then the truth. Compromise has confused and distorted the truth. The truth will stand in the confusion and lead you into the light. Therefore do not fear those who are religious and bound, for they need to hear the Good News of salvation. The religious have imprisoned themselves through laws and rituals. This satisfies the flesh but leaves the spirit empty. Anything that is a ritual without faith is a wasted activity. Faith ultimately will determine your fellowship and intimacy with God.

TRUST IN JESUS

When all else fails, trust in Jesus. He is the Rock that never ever moves. He is the One who holds the world in his hands. When you trust Him you become like Him and can move and breathe in Him. He is the only one who can give you life and that eternal. Man can give birth to life but only temporal. God's life in you is eternal and this is what matters. This is what gives you hope and purpose. So whatever the weather you can praise Him because He lives forever. The whole dynamic of life changes when you live in eternity. You are not controlled by time and space for these are man made limitations. In God there is no time or space for time has no beginning or end. In Him you have the faith to transcend all limitations and so can expect the impossible. The impossible becomes possible in Him. This is not just words or feelings for He is transcendent. He is able to make possible what is impossible by His immanent presence. This is how the world can be changed when men put their faith in Him rather then what he sees and feels. Change your perceptions by lifting your eyes heavenward and not inward. Christ is on the throne and in Him all things are possible because He is alive.

REJOICE ALWAYS

The world is in motion and change occurs, good and bad. This is happening all the time and affects us only sometimes. When it hits us then we need to take action. Yet we must be prepared at all times.This preparation is what makes the difference between falling down or standing up in times of trouble. God is with you all the time but the consciousness of His presence is closest when you are in trouble. When you walk in the Spirit you are conscious of His presence all the time and not just sometime. God's presence in you enables you to overcome at all times. This is why you can rejoice at all times. The Bible exhorts you to rejoice and give thanks at all times and in all circumstances. This is a promise with a assurance of victory. He is victorious at all times so in Him you are victorious at all times. How is this possible you ask? Well God the Creator is in control at all times and in all seasons. Therefore He who is in control knows how much we can take. Bless the Lord O my soul and all within me bless His holy Name.

SURRENDER YOUR WILL

The Lord will work through you when you surrender all to Him. He is no respecter of persons and therefore He is able to flow through anyone who will surrender his will to Him. It is your will that is the central switch to all your faculties. Once you surrender your will it becomes the servant to the one you surrender to. Many are prepared to surrender their body and mind but not their will. The will is the executive centre that determines who will lead your life. In submission to Christ your will becomes His will. Now you are a slave to Christ. You are no more your own man but Christ's man. This is where all theology falls on its face because the theology of man does not surrender to God. The whole gospel can be summed up in one word, surrender. We sing songs like I surrender all but never realise that it is surrender of your will. When you surrender your will to God, you basically are saying that you have no rights. Such a man can be used by God unlimitedly. Is this what you desire? Then surrender your will to Him today and see the signs and wonders that will follow your surrender.

HEART CHANGE

Praise God for His goodness and faithfulness. He is Abba Father. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Trust in Him with all your heart. It is with the heart a man believes and is saved. The chart is where the spirit dwells. It is from the heart that all things emerge. It is the heart that needs to be changed. Heart change leads to head change and not the other way round. Head change helps but is limited because it is limited to the head level. There are many levels of change. The body is one level and the soul another and the spirit the third level. Just like the outer court, the inner court and the holy of holies. True communion with God occurs at the heart level. True worship is in spirit and in truth. The gifts and fruits of the Spirit arise from the heart level. This is why you cannot put on a face for long if it is not from a heart level. A crisis usually reveals what level you operate from. True saints will be tested and the testing is to enable you to trust God deeper. Jesus spent time in prayer to draw strength from His Father to combat the devil. Today worship God from the heart level and see the change in you.

BE STRONG

There will be many rumours of wars and changes in climate and turmoil all around but trust in the Lord and you will be safe. These are days when right is wrong and wrong is right. People will lose heart and will do anything to live. There will be no thought for the other for all is selfishness. There will be greed and exploitation for it will be right for one. Right for one means anything goes for no one will say you are wrong for wrong is right. Anything goes mentality will pervade through society and all will be welcome even abuse of the young and innocent. Abuse will be seen as healthy for it will train you to be tough. Everything will be explained as good for others, even poverty. Evil will rise and only a few will keep the straight and narrow way. Therefore be vigilant in these last days for all man will think is for themselves and not for the other. The spirit of greed will be so pervasive that all that is good will be scarce. These are the last days for this is like the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. Pray for strength to enable you to stand and not lose heart. Many will lose heart and stray and be lost. Only the strong will be firm to the end.

ON THE WORD OR IN THE WORD

You can build your life on God's Word or in God's Word. To build on God's word is to follow its commands. To build in God's word is to let His Word be the author and finisher of your life. The difference is one is a partnership and the other is an organic union. The one is a union of the head and the other is a union of the heart. Many unions are uniting at the head level. There is nothing wrong in this but the difference is that one can act like a christian or is a christian. One can act like Jesus or be Jesus. What sort of identity are you? Are you an actor or the real thing? An actor fools himself by believing he is right while the one who knows lives in the knowledge of a intimate relationship. Sometimes we start our journey by acting the role till we come into the experience of what it really is. Many are just acting a role. In a role one can perform but the real identity is different. Like a chameleon one can change your clothes and roles. Your true identity is in Christ. This organic union in Christ makes you separate from the actors. You are no more acting in a role. You have come home in Him.

THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN

What a prayer the Lord taught us to pray. Yet how little we believe in it. This is  a prayer of authority to rule as Kingdom people and establish His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven, His Kingdom in heaven is free of sickness and disease. There is peace, joy and love in His Kingdom. We need to pray these into being on earth. We cannot be satisfied in partial healing and peace. Where God's people rule there is no room for evil. When revival comes all evil will be driven out. God's people must expect God's Kingdom reign where they are. Anything less is giving into the enemy. This is why our battle is with principalities and powers in the heavenly realms. We have to overcome the enemy on our knees and then go and possess the land. No amount of talking about issues will get us there. Only persistent, aggressive prayer will do. Fast and prayer till the mountain is moved. God is on your side. Blind eyes will see and believe. Now we see but do not perceive. When our eyes are opened we will see and possess. Come Holy Spirit and move amongst us in power.

WALK IN YOUR NEW IDENTITY

 Imagine the Kingdom of God is within you. He lives in you. You carry in you the King. This realisation will make you a person who has the potential to do anything. This is your new identity. Yet many forget their new identity and walk in their old self. To walk in the old self is sin for the  old self walks under law and not grace. The new self walks by faith and it is sin not to walk by faith. Now choose to walk by faith and know that anything is possible for the King lives in you. We all have the same potential but it is only those who choose to walk by it will do exploits. Disappointments are not the end. It could be an opportunity to prove the works of God. Look at each disappointment as a hurdle to surmount. You can tap into the power in you to overcome all disappointments. These can be God's appointments to move ahead into greater things. Jesus faced many disappointments even the Cross, yet He moved forward and faced His Cross. You too are called to do the same in the power of the Spirit within you. So Lord help me to walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh.

POWER OF THE BLOOD

What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus. Cleanse yourself daily in the blood. This will keep you conscious of the flow as His blood continuously washes you. This is God's grace in action. This is what keeps you pure and holy. When you lose consciousness of this fact then you allow your flesh and devil to harass you. This is the great salvation bought at a cost for you. Revel in it and be made whole. Oh how I thank God for His sacrifice on Calvary. Now all you can do is sing His praises all the day long. Money can't buy this salvation. Only faith in His finished work on the Cross. Will you accept Him? You reject this to your own detriment now and for eternity. Please accept Him today and see the difference. Do not let the enemy of your soul fool you. It is worth your life.

HIS NOW WORD

Blessed is the man who waits upon the Lord day and night and delights in His counsel. This man will flourish like a palm tree and bear much fruit for the Kingdom of God. His purpose is to glorify God and not the flesh. The flesh is dead to him and he is alive in the Spirit. The Spirit of God will guide him and nourish his soul. Such a man will not be prey to the opinions of others but he waits on the Lord for his counsel. For such a man the word of the Lord is his life. The word of God brings life to his flesh. All the words of man are like wind that comes and goes but the word of the Lord is eternal and never changes. His word is truth and when you live in the truth then you will will live by the truth. Jesus is the word made flesh and in Him you have life eternal. In Him you have nothing to fear for everything is under the blood. His blood has the power to cleanse every sin for it was all paid by His blood on the cross. This is the salvation you now experience in the flesh and will experience forever. His word is eternal and those who build their house on the Rock will last forever.

JESUS THE ONLY ANSWER

You are the chosen one of God and you must live in this truth. Living in this truth will enable you to trust Him who called you and has purposed to see you through to the end. Anything you ask in His Name is yes and amen. Therefore live as a saint in this dark and evil world. Jesus came into this world, the sinless Lamb of God. Imagine His pain as He witnessed the darkness all around Him of pain and greed. Greed is the sin that drove Adam and Eve out of the garden. Greed remains the motivating force that keeps man striving for more. More of everything. Poverty is the result of greed. Poverty is a crime and only those imprisoned by it know what a crime it is. More then poverty of things is the poverty of soul. How the devil has tricked us in yearning after gold rather then soul. The soul of man is deprived and so he fills his soul with things. Nothing can replace love, for love is divine. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son. Receive His Son and you will receive His love. His Son and love are one because God is love. When you love then you know you are of God. This is the unconditional love of God, not lust. Love turns to lust when man has no soul. Everything and everyone becomes an object for his lust. Love gives and does not take. Love is the only answer for this wicked world of sin and lust. This is why Jesus is the only answer for the world.

GOD IS NEAR

God is moving mightily upon the earth in these troubled times. The weather patterns are changing, the markets are in turmoil, marriages are breaking, sex is being exploited and the poor are hungry. Where will we turn for solace in these turbulent times? Nothing is safe and whatever security man has made is being blown apart. What is left is dust and decay. God moves into these situations when man gets desperate. God then manifests Himself in signs and wonders. When man comes to the end of himself then God has space to move in. Man fills his days with things and God is pushed out. Now is the time to move in and give man hope. In God there is no delay and no wrong. Everything is right in Him. This is why He is a righteous God. His righteousness is yours in Christ. Therefore rejoice and be glad for He is near to you when all things appear to go wrong.

LIFE ABUNDANT IN HIM

God is at work in you to prepare you for the days ahead. The days ahead will be full of challenges but this is why He wants you to walk by faith and not by sight. To walk by faith is to depend on Him and not on your own feelings and thoughts. Your own thoughts and feelings are inadequate to meet the need at hand. You tap into His resources when you walk by faith. You release His gifts and fruits through you when you walk by faith. Not to walk by faith is sin. God has planned it this way from the beginning but man uses his free will to go his own way. Adam did this and fell and since then all men have chosen to walk by his own way then His way. His way is easy because He knows what is best for you. Your way is ridden with anxiety because you don't know the way. You walk in darkness and the light you have is dim. Walking in the light as He is in the light is the sure way to walk upright. What is it that stops you from walking in the light? It is your ego that wants its own way. Your ego wants to control your destiny but this is all wind. You cannot control the next minute in your life yet you delude yourself that you can. Once you surrender all to Him then life becomes a delight. In Him alone is there life abundant. All else is wind.

ONLY JESUS

There is power in the Name of Jesus. There is no other Name in heaven or earth that is greater then the Name of JESUS. He is the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. In Him all things are and have their life. Without Him nothing exists. What a name and what a destiny for those who call him Lord. He is a ever present friend and guide. Your ego will always want to supplant Him because your ego is so self centred. In Him there is nothing that can compare. Your ego will always compare. Your ego is hooked to the present while Jesus is for eternity. When you are so taken up with the affairs of men then you have no time, for your time with Jesus. Your ego will always distract you from time with Him. This is how you end up wasting your time in worthless pursuits.  Life is more then these things that you possess. This material world demands your attention. How then can you separate yourself from this demand but to call on His Name. He will come and save you from your ego battles and set you free from its clutches.

POWER TO LIVE

There is no power greater then the power of God in Jesus. We need power to live a holy life The forces against us are so great that we cannot operate a holy life without His power. Power is the force that keeps the world in motion. There are negative forces and positive forces. When negative forces rise then we need positive power to resist it. God has made His power available to keep evil at bay. Prayer power connects with God's power to abolish the power of evil. In Jesus Name we can over power every evil power. Evil was destroyed at the Cross but the devil will make you feel that he is still powerful. He is only as powerful as we let him. He will trick you by his cunning devices but we are above his tactics. In Christ we have all the power to overcome him. Therefore be filled in His Spirit and see the enemy of your soul run for his life.

HIS WORK IN YOU

Prepare for the day of the Lord draws near. Many will turn away but you must remain stedfast in what you believe. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. There is no other way to be saved but to hold on till the end. God is working in you to prepare you. It is not your work but God's work. All you need to do is to remain in faith. God loves you and He will keep you. Every day new manna you will receive to keep you on the road to total redemption. Your suffering will be turned into joy as you let go and let God. In God you have dunamis power. This is the power of God. Wait on Him till you receive this power. It is in God's time and He knows what is the right time. All you need to do is live in the now. Then you will treasure each moment and not waste it in vain imaginations. Come to the river of life and drink. Healing and blessing flows through this river. Be refreshed and filled so that you are ready for every good work.

RIVER OF LIFE

Precious are the moments with the Lord. He is in you and beside you. The Spirit man desires to commune with you all the time. The flesh man demands attention all the time. There is a battle going on in your soul and you will have to decide who you will listen to. In the Spirit you can silence the voice of the flesh man. In the Spirit you have joy, peace and freedom. In the flesh you are bound and not free. A fleshly life leads to bondage. This can be bondage to things or to others. In Christ you are free from the slavery to the flesh. The flesh demands but the Spirit requests. The language of both is different. Come to the river of life and be free. This river flows through you and connects you with others. His life in you enables you to flow freely in His river. Let His river flow through you and water others who are dry and thirsty. Jesus said the water I give will give you life and refresh you. Be cleansed and be pure in His river.

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.
