FAITH IN THEETERNAL GOD

Many are the woes of those who are in the world. Their troubles multiply and their hope is in this world. However their hope does not last as their hearts will fail them. It is only those who hope in the Lord will live to enjoy the fruits of life. Those whose end is death have nothing to look forward to. They have their fear that they will be finished in time. Therefore the focus on keeping young and pretty. All their beauty will fade away as they lose heart. This is why the material world and all its systems will fade away. It is only the strong of heart will live in times of trouble. Trouble truly shows up those who trust in the Lord and those who trust in man. Wealth and popularity cannot stand in the day of trouble. It is what you have built internally that will stand in the day of reckoning. Everything else will be burnt up to cinders. The fires in Victoria are a call to the people to repent and turn from their wicked ways. Yet people are cold and they are not moved. Their hearts are so hardened that death and decay are a passing phase and does not move the heart. God is waiting for a people who are receptive to His heart and will turn to Him. Therefore do not be distracted by the city lights but be firm in your faith and be encouraged.

LIVING BY FAITH IN THE NOW

Now is the only time to rejoice and be glad. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is an illusion. Living in the now by faith is the only way to live a fruitful life. Mind patterns will keep you focussed in the past or the future. You must separate from these patterns. This is the only way you can change. As long as you are locked into the past you will never change. These past patterns are so powerful because they have been programmed into you over your life time. Now when you separate yourself from those past patterns they become like old friends who you refuse to associate with now. They become like old habits that are worn off and belong to yesterday. Now this is the way to break habits. Break them by separating your identity from them. By conscious presence you separate from their pattern and so from their power to control. Now only the present is of any use. Each minute becomes so precious for the now becomes everything. You feel and you see and you hear with a freshness devoid of past muck. You feel and you live like a saint. Your robes are washed clean and you wear the robe of righteousness in Christ. Now you know His presence with you and walk with Him and talk with Him. You become alive in Him. This is how you become a new man in Him. The old has past away behold the new has come.

ETERNITY IS YOUR DESTINY

God is at work in you to bring you to a place of power and excellence. See how He will give you the thoughts to overcome then to be overcome. When you focus in the now then the past and future cannot oppress you. He is in you all the time especially when you are feeling down. It is easy to feel good when you are feeling good. God is especially near when you are feeling down. Remember it is a feeling and it will pass. Everything that is tangible will pass. Only that which is eternal will last. Therefore focus on the things that are of eternal value. He is eternal and when you are in Him you have the things of eternal value within you. These are what belong to the Kingdom of God, love, joy, peace and righteousness. This is what will hold you together and in this there is no change. What is tangible is changeable. Therefore do not be surprised by change. Change can be for the better or worse but change is constant in a tangible world. You change and this is part of the course. However one day all this will pass and you will enter in His presence never to change again. In your eternal home you will be with your Saviour forever. This is your destiny and for your loved ones in Him. This is the joy that led people to suffer for a time for what is eternal. Therefore rejoice and be glad today as you face the day in resurrection power.

PRAISE THE LORD

Praise God who causes me to look up and not down. He makes me a warrior for the things that are good and right. He is my Lord and He causes me to do things that are right. He works in me and I am in Him. He protects me from the devil and his works. He gives me a heart of flesh. He gives me His heart of compassion and love. All I have is from Him and in Him I am glad. Precious is the Lord and I am complete in Him. I love Him so and in His hands I am blessed. Blessed is the Lord and blessed the works of His hands. I will bless the Lord at all times and in Him I will be glad. I will not turn to the right or to the left. I will look straight ahead and not be deviated from His plan for my life. In Him I know all His plans will be fulfilled. I live for the praise of His glory. I only live to praise Him for in Him alone is my being. Everything else is as nothing compared to Him. Praise the Name of the Lord.

MOMENT BY MOMENT

Power is released when you move out in faith. Faith in action releases the power to become. This is how God works from the heart and not the head. The head is to control the actions of the heart. Love without power is useless and power without love is dangerous. So come to the Cross where faith and love kiss and leads to resurrection life. It is through His resurrection that mankind will be saved through the power of His love. There is no love like His love which is eternal and has the power of eternal life behind it. It never wanes and never loses its power but is fresh all day and night to deliver what it promises. Come to the river of life and be refreshed. Live each moment as a new moment, never been there before. This is to live in intense awareness and purpose. Each moment comes as a new beginning as it is now and fresh and vital. Never let the new be taken up by the past. The past is past and never will be again. It is the present that is important and comes fresh as a new and fresh moment.

THE CROSS THE ONLY LASTING HOPE FOR HUMANITY

Many are the follies that follow the path of the world which is empowered by personal egos on the quest for fame and popularity. Once you step out of this race then you are able to set a new path in the service of humanity. This is the way of the Cross which is death to the selfish ego and oneness with Christ. You can only be one with Him when you have crucified self on the Cross. This is the holy transaction that occurs by faith and He transfers His life into yours. You are now free to be the person you were created to be and not a fabrication of your mind. All pain and suffering is caused by the mind in pursuit of freedom and power in its own way. When it can’t have it then suffering and pain is the result but this also gives the ego a purpose in the illness or sickness. Diseased organs continue to provide a purpose in the sickness of the mind. All disease is a succumbing to forces that prevail to support sickness rather then health. On this basis health is freedom from the pressures of the ego to survive in the social and family forces that control the individual. Powerful forces are at work to destroy you because negativity is the primary force that is at work in the world. People try to counteract this through positivity which works for a while but has no long term consequence because this is the answer of the ego. As long as the ego is in charge then all you are doing is to meet its need for survival whether through health or sickness. Come to the Cross which will set you free from this cycle of life.

MOVING IN THE MIRACULOUS

Praise the Lord for what He is going to do through you today. Everyday live in expectation of His miraculous power working through you. He will manifest His power through you as you walk in expectation of His manifest presence. When you walk in the consciousness of the Almighty you can expect anything. He moves through you and those surrendered to Him. He manifests Himself through you and brings about healing and restoration. Do not let evil threaten you because you have overcome the evil one through Jesus. He lives in you to perform His works. He works wonders and He is a wonderful Lord. Come into His powerful presence and expect miracles to manifest.

ETERNITY YOUR DESTINY

Another day another month. Time waits for no man. However time is only important for those limited by the dimension of time. Those who have eternity as their destiny don’t let time bother them. Time and space are non issues when eternity is your destiny. How liberating to be free from two forces that threaten mankind. Only in Jesus is this possible for He conquered death by rising from the dead. His resurrection power now works in you so that you can achieve the impossible. Nothing is now impossible as all is possible when time and space are not limitations. Your mind begins to work on a different plane and in God’s dimension anything is possible. What is not today is possible tomorrow. So be empowered today and live like a king for the King is in residence in you. His Kingdom is within you. Therefore come to His banqueting table and be glad.

FREEDOM

God is working in you to bring forth the beauty of His presence within you. When the outward dies then the inward will come forth. Just like a beacon of light will you shine as the outer shell collapses. The outer shell is your ego built up over the years as a protective cover to the assaults you have suffered. Once you realise that the Lord is your defence then the ego will let go and let the Lord take over. This is what it means to make Him Lord. He cannot be Lord when you are still in charge. He wants you to let go and let Him be Lord of your life. This is what the whole journey of life is about, that you may decrease and He may increase. This is the preparation for heavenly rule. To be a spirit filled man means that the ego must be displaced to allow room for Him. He will fill you up and you will become transparent and people will see the light of His presence within you and be touched. When you become transparent then His light will touch others and heal and set free the captive. You will be freed to free. You can only free others once you are free. To freedom you have been called. Therefore do not be caged again but be free in Him.

MIGHTY GOD

Hope is the key to breakthrough. Without faith it is impossible to move out in faith. Hope is the ingredient of faith. It sparks of faith and it brings in the miraculous. It is the vital ingredient to enter the impossible realm of the spirit. The spirit is moving mightily and He is waiting for people to tap into Him and His abundance in the heavenlies. Without the Spirit it is impossible to please God. Only the Spirit of God knows the mind of God. He is the Spirit of God and He reveals the will of God. He is present in you and wants you to move with Him. He will lead you to experience the wonders of the eternal realm where God is. This is the will of God for you. Therefore stay in the spirit and move with the spirit. Come Holy Spirit and fill me and change me into your image. I want to be a powerhouse for you for your glory and purpose.

HE IS LORD

Blessed is the Name of the Lord who heals and delivers and sets free. He is Saviour and Lord. Lord means ruler over all. All means all principalities and powers and rulers. When He is Lord then no other power can rule over you. When you make Jesus Lord of your life then you become His power house for His glory. His power is released through you by faith and you become His channel of healing to all. This is the word of the Lord to you today. Receive it and be healed. His presence in you is the assurance of His Lordship over your life. There is no one else who can fill this place. He is on the throne of your life. You are seated in heavenly places with Him. Rejoice and be glad that your name is written in the Lamb’s book of life.

GOD IS MY PROVIDER

Lord you are so good to me and you will provide for my son what you have provided for me. You are the all sufficient God. You lead each one and at the right time open the door. You did this for me. I am confident of this. Confidence produces results beyond expectations. Be confident in God. He is your Provider. He is the God of providence. He has only good planned for you. You will never be alone. Righteousness and peace will always follow you. You will be a light to the gentiles for the Lord’s light shines upon you. Your face will light up the place and the Lord will be honoured. He is the glory and lifter of your head. Walk by faith and you will never lose your way. Faith is like spiritual eyes that sees and walks boldly knowing that He who is leading is perfect in His guidance. He has led you through all these days and you have nothing to fear for the future. Come and be glad for He is in you and will shine brighter as the days go by. Perfect is the Lord and He will perfect your ways.

LIVING OUT MY FAITH

I love the Lord and He is my God. He leads me through quiet waters and He is my rod and staff in times of trouble. He is with me at all times and therefore I am never alone. His Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. He leads me and guides me all the days of my life. Even when I am close to the grave He is with me. When I face torment He is with me. When I am on the mountain top He is with me. He is with me all the time and in all places. He will never leave me or forsake me. He is my Lord and I love Him. With Him I can do anything and go any place. With Him I can do anything. Therefore I will move out in faith and never fear for He is with me all the time and all the way. His banner over me is love. His word replaces all my thoughts. With His word in me I operate in His power to act out His word. This is Kingdom living and not earthly living. Kingdom mentality leads to Kingdom living.

TRANSFORMED BY THE LOVE OF JESUS

God works through your spirit. His Spirit in you will lead you and guide you. He will draw your attention to the things that matter to Him. He is the God of the unrighteous and righteous. There are so many needs in the world but He will direct your attention to the needs of those He wants you to meet. Lord forgive me for my tardiness. I have got so comfortable in my own little world. Yet there are so many who today are dying without a Saviour. Help me to be your witness for the dying. The greatest sin in the world is loneliness. It is a sin for the selfishness of this generation has led many to be left on their own. The only counter measure is the love of Jesus. He came for those who were destitute, without father or mother. He came for the poor in spirit. These are the ones who have everything but still are poor. Many try and fill this void through things but things can never satisfy this void. Religion cannot satisfy this void. Only the One who suffered and died and rose again can satisfy this void. He is available to all who will call on His Name. His Name is the most beautiful Name on earth and in heaven. Determine to only reflect His Name at all times and in all places.

ASSURANCE

God is in the midst of you and you have nothing to fear. You are in Him and He is in you. You have an assurance that no insurance can provide. This assurance is sure and nothing can take it away from you. His presence in you is the only assurance you need. What else can you add when the Creator of the world has chosen to live in you. Now all you need is in you. His fruits and gifts operate through you. All you need to do is tap into it and they will be manifested. His glory surrounds you like the noon day sun. Even when the clouds come His glory is around you. When you call on Him He will come close to you. His hand will lead you through the maze and bring you to the place of eternal bliss. What is left to do is to shine as His light till all that is of darkness will have to recede and disappear. The light of His presence is what will make the darkness disappear. Come Holy Spirit and shine through me today.

GRATEFULNESS

God leads you through the maze of life and you are thankful for His leading. He is working in you and through you all day and night. His hand is upon you and all you can do is thank Him for His grace and mercy. A grateful heart will multiply blessings. When you can see God’s hand at work in your life then it is time to move forward with optimism. He loves to reveal His mind to those who trust Him. All He needs is your commitment. Everything else is sugar coating to the cake of commitment. He is always with you and His ministering angels are with you. This is why you will never be alone for He is always with you. Even in your down times He is with you. Recognise this and you will enjoy your down times. Why? because you know He is with you during your down times. Who else do you need when you have Him all the time. Now the only need is to be His witness where ever you go. In this way you force darkness back and let the light of His presence shine through you. In this way you are a light as He was the light when He walked on earth. Now you are His representative, dispelling darkness and negativity and bringing in the light of His glory. Praise the Name of the Lord.

ABUNDANCE MENTALITY

Praise God who gives without reservation and loves to give. He knows nothing better then to give of His bounty. Our God is relentless in His giving. He loves to bless. He is a positive God. There is no negativity in Him. He does not cause suffering but we through our own bad choices cause suffering upon ourselves. Of course His adversary the devil will want us to think that God is responsible for our suffering. God will turn your suffering into joy. When you accept all things then all those things will turn to your benefit. This is how God will turn your mountain into a molehill. He is a God of abundance. When you think like Him then you will rejoice in His abundance. Yes pain and suffering are all around you but you are saved from these because He is your protector. Even when you go through the valley of death He is with you. Jesus will never leave you alone. Accept where you are and new avenues will open up to you. Resistance only causes suffering. What you resist becomes a mountain. What you accept becomes a molehill. When you abide in Him then nothing is too hard for He is in you to help you overcome. So in Him you can see all negativity as part of the process of change towards abundance. An abundance mentality will attract abundance. In God you are abundant for He is rich and abundant.

GOD IS MIGHTY TO SAVE

21/1/10 GOD IS MIGHTY TO SAVE

God is mighty to save all who call on His Name. Many in Haiti looked to Him in their time of despair. When death strikes at the door of your heart call on Jesus to save you. He is the only One who can save you. Jesus the Saviour of the world is waiting and will come in and save you when you call on Him. He is available to all. What is happening in the world is a fore runner of things to come. God is getting the attention of people to turn from their wicked ways and to turn to Him. These truly are the last days when evil will rise but good will overcome evil. The good of people will be revealed to transform evil. The days of evil are numbered. Men will see how evil will rise and the only way to reverse it, is to turn to God. Science does not have the answers for it this troubled age. Religion does not have the answers. Only Jesus has the answer for He is the way the Truth and the Life. He whose life is the answer will come through for the Jew and the Gentile in the last days. When the nation of Israel recognises Jesus as the Messiah then the whole world will turn to Him. The Jewish nation is an example to the world of what God can do. It will be destroyed but will rise again in the last days as a symbol of God’s mercy and grace. So give up your small ambitions and look to Him alone for your salvation. Thankyou Jesus.

HIS WORD IS LIFE

20/1/10 HIS WORD IS LIFE

God will send you the thoughts you need at the time of your need to encourage you. He is always there especially during times of trouble. You can look to Him to send you His thoughts through His Holy Spirit. How exciting to know this and His words will be like manna to you. His words are life and bread to you. Without His word you will starve and die. His words are more precious then food for your soul. Look to Him to give you the words of life. Many perish because they do not feed on His word. They rather have a diet of worms from the world then His word. His words are health and life to your bones. They will inspire and cause you to want more. His words give life and in His life giving words is your source of hope. His word cannot be separated from His life. His words contain life and His life is contained in His words. This is why you need to eat His words and meditate on them till they become like blood and water. Water to refresh and blood to give you life. His words will heal you of all ailments and give you health and vitality. Trust Him with all your heart and He will lead you from victory to victory.

GOD'S POWER

19/1/10 POWER OF GOD

The power of God is the energy that will move mountains. Without power there will be no movement. Power can be from different sources. God’s power is immeasurable. Fuel power is limited. God’s power is unlimited. You need the power of God to move mountains in your life. It is not feeling, not knowledge but His presence. His presence will transform and reform. He is in you and around you. When Jesus walked on earth He moved in the power of God. He turned water into wine and He multiplied loaves and fishes. He raised man from the dead and He healed the sick and the lame. This is the power of God. No other power can do this. You need the power of God and His power is limitless. You receive His power through faith. His faith when you connect with Him. Like electricity that you can’t see so is God’s power. It is distributed freely to those who connect with Him. Connect with Him today and be transformed by His power. Changed into His glory by His power. This is the word of the Lord.
