Government

Governemnt is not a concept that is easily understood. To govern is to have rules and regulations to conduct life. To govern is to provide guidance as to how to conduct affairs of daily living. Good government results in good outcomes. Poor government results in chaos and poor outcomes. The proper structure of government based on biblical values of love, respect and trust will result in people feeling safe and cared for. The church is God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. The church is to exemplify what true government should be like. What we see is the church following the government of the world. In the world government is hierarchical and based on power and not love. Money drives issues and this is not the way of true governance. How does one govern when money is the guiding factor in all matters. Decisions are made based on what is cheap not what is good and of value. Democracy as a form of government is seen as the best way to govern in the modern era. However democracy means also that many ill ways are accommodated because they are not based on biblical values. We pray thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. However this is what we pray but what we do is based on greed and power. What is based on greed and power can never last. Greed and power in the church has destroyed the church. Only servanthood based on love and trust and transparency can result in good government.

JOY

Happiness is generally due to a happening. Happiness therefore can change through the day because good and bad things can happen. Joy on the other hand is not due to happenings as it is a constant fruit of the Spirit. Like all the other gifts of the Spirit this never changes. Our awareness of this may change depending on whether we are walking in the Spirit or walking in the flesh. All the knowledge you need is in Him. He is in you therefore you have acces to all knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge alone cannot achieve anything as it is in a vacuum. It is wisdom that enables you to apply the knowledge. You may know all about cars but it is only if you can drive it, is it of any use. A car in the garage is nice to see but of no use if it cannot move.  It is the application of knowledge that will bring forth results. So also in all spheres of life we need knowledge but more than that the ability to apply the knowledge to bring about change. Many have knowledge but few apply it. Many know the truth but few apply the truth. Many know what is right but fail to do it. We make choices based on our needs and desires. These choices than become habits and these habits become our character. Choose today to apply your good knowledge and live life to the full. Let the joy of the Lord be your strength.

IVF

God created all things. He is the Creator and we are His creation. Medical science has found answers to creating new life. Is this ethically sound? If man can create life why need God. Man has the same ability as God because man was created in His image. This potential has problems because it puts man on the same level as God. When boundaries are transgressed problems become insoluble. Boundaries are there to keep creation in order. This order when transgressed will result in disorder. The disorder will have consequences that will affect generations to come. Meddling with creation is like transgressing boundaries. IVF is an example of man's attempt to play God. This is not a natural method but because it works it is acceptable. It has brought happiness to many infertile couples. Yet some solutions are not ethically sound. Like a slow slide down a slippery slope IVF  has opened doors to many other vices. These are ignored because of the possibility of life successes. What about the losses of embryos? This is an experiment and loss is part of the equation. Success is the goal. How does God view this? God allows this. It is not His perfect will but His permissive will. God permits a lot of things but man has to face the consequences. I want God's perfect will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. In this context I believe that IVF is not in God's perfect will.

GENDER CONFUSION

Lord you made man and woman. You created them to populate the world. So what went wrong when the desires of man turned to man and woman to woman? Sin enters the heart of man and turned his natural desires into himself. He became turned inwards and all his desires became only to serve the I. We became I and the world now has become so inward oriented that it is killing itself through the process of introspection. This regressive tendency will be seen and experienced where sin abounds. Man turned inwards becomes a monster. He covers his nakedness with good things but his heart is evil. This is why Jesus came to die so His blood shed on the Cross can set us free from the power of sin. Sin reversed brings life and not death. Death works to bring destruction but life works to bring hope and deliverance from the power of sin. Only Jesus can save and deliver us from the power of death. Sin has power over you because it has the power of death. Jesus came and delivered us from the fear of death. It is the fear of death that works to bring disease and disorder into your life. Now you have the power to reverse these inward directed tendencies through the blood of Jesus.

AT ALL TIMES

Praise God from whom all goodness comes. Praise him you heavenly hosts. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. He is God and there is no other. He deserves all praise and worship because He is the only true God. In Him all things are and in Him all things have their being. I will praise Him all the days of my life. In His courts will I remain and in Him I have all I need. Blessed be the Name of Jesus who came to give us the connection back to the Father. The Father Son and Holy Spirit work together to bring about His salvation. In Him all things work together for good. His word is a light unto my path and a guide for my foot steps. In Him I can rejoice at all times because He makes me triumph at all times. He knows the end from the beginning and in Him I can rest content. Hallelujah for He makes all things new. Each new day He gives fresh manna for His children to feed on. His word is refreshing to the soul and the body. His mighty works can be seen in His creation and in your life and in the life of others. This is the God you worship, the Creator of the world. Therefore today you can trust in Him and believe in His grace to come through for you at all times.

GOD HOLDS EVERYTHING TOGETHER

Man is alone without God. God is in the business of saving His people from the rot of the world. The world is lost without Him. He is the Creator of the world and without Him everything is meaningless. It is God who appoints and he decides the dates and the seasons. He is above all and in Him all things hold together. Earthquakes will come and go and so will cyclones but He holds the future in His hands, regimes will come and go but He is the final authority. How wonderful it is to be in the hands of God who holds all things together. This is the security you need more then anything else. There is no security in anything else. When you have Him you have everything you need for life. All your diseases are consumed in Him. All your lack is made up with His abundance.

POPULATING HEAVEN

Powerful forces are at work to cause you to fall. The enemy is not happy when you decide to confront him in the Name of Jesus. He hates Jesus for He made a display of him at Calvary. What the enemy thought was his victory turned out to be his damnation. Satan lost and his head was stepped on and his defeat set forth his fury against all creation. He will continue his work to steal, kill and destroy till he is finished completely. His works of darkness will be exposed and nothing can compare to his end in hell. This is why you can expect opposition at every front when you move forward in populating heaven. Souls are lingering between hell and heaven. You have the responsibility to save them from the fiery grave of hell. Eternity is there for you to rest. Now is the time to work while it is still light. Come Holy Spirit and fire me up for heaven so that I can rescue many from the fiery grave of hell. Lord change me so that I will never regress to the works of the flesh. Satan and my flesh are against me. You only are for me and in you I have perfect rest.

SENIOR PARTNER

The Holy Spirit is my senior partner. He directs my thoughts and feelings and actions. He is the author of all things pertaining to me and so I have confidence in what I do and think. He encourages me and exhorts me. He is my healer and restorer of my soul. My soul is in His hands and I am secure in Him. He is the Spirit of Jesus and He lives in me. I will never be alone because He will never leave me or forsake me. My life is hid in His hands. My mission is to make Him known so that others too may enjoy His presence in them. When I have tasted a good thing I want to share it with others. If I keep it to myself then I am being selfish because Jesus died for the whole world. His mission is my mission. He will direct me in His mission. He will order all things in my life and all I need to do is to be submitted to Him. Now I can bear all things because He is with me. He will take my pain and burden. I will do as He commands because I live to serve Him now. All these days I have lived to satisfy my selfish desires. Now I live to satisfy Him. I am His hands and feet, eyes and ears and tongue. I will praise Him always and live in His court day and night. Many will come and praise Him too and we will build a sanctuary for His presence. In His presence is joy everlasting. Praise be to the Lord.

REST, FAITH AND HOPE

Today the Lord declares is a new day. You have come to the place of rest. You rest in faith and by faith. Faith is the door way to hope. There is no faith without hope. Hope is to do with your faith. Just as prayer is to do with communication with the Almighty so faith is to  do with hope. Hope in Him never disappoints. Hope is the only reason for living. When you lose hope you lose everything. No money or lands can replace hope. This is why the rich suicide because they have lost hope. They realise their riches cannot buy them a future because death is awaiting them. Hope in Him means eternal life with Him in heaven. This is your inheritance in Him. What more do you need? He has purchased all for you through His blood sacrifice. Now all you need to do is rest in this reality. Now you can ascend all earthly desires and be content. Contentment is a spiritual fruit of a love that will never leave you or forsake you. Thank you Jesus.

WE KNOW THE END FROM THE BEGINNING

What a position to be to know the end from the beginning. Only God has this position but now we who belong to Him also know the end. We are all going to be raptured into His presence. We need fear no thing because we are hid in Him. All the cares of this world will soon be over because He is coming back to deliver us from this sinful world. We have nothing of interest in this world as we know it. We belong to another Kingdom, the Kingdom of God. When He returns we will reign with Him in a new world. This is our destiny and we need to prepare to receive this Kingdom. When the King arrives than He will transform all things. This is our hope and prayer that we will see an end to this evil age and see God's Kingdom be established on earth as it is in heaven. No more poverty, no more slavery, no more contending with evil. The light will replace the darkness and it will be clear as day. Now we see dimly but than we will see as He sees and rejoice. Live in the Spirit and never give in to the flesh.

END TIME WORD

The Holy Spirit is causing me to share that the time is near for the end. We need to be prepared for His coming very soon. The world as we know it is going to be changed to never be the same again. Economically, structurally and socially the world will be decimated of its current structure through economic and geopolitical changes. Society as we know it will be changed as the prince of the world lets go of all inhibition and let's loose his minions upon the earth. Be watchful and in prayer all the time for you do not know when the turn will happen. Thess are momentous times for all. The rich will become poor and the poor become rich. The church will lose its focus and become like the world. The world will be in chaos for the light of the world has dimmed. Only a few will remain as lights but they will be rescued before the final assault. Now is not the time to procrastinate. Now is the time to pray. This is the time to stem the rise of evil through spiritual warfare. You will be attacked but He will cover you from the enemy's arrows. Be washed in His blood and cling to His Word of salvation. There is hope for the lost but the lost have become so brain washed that they cannot see the light because the light has become dimmed. Those who are called will be saved.

GOD HAS THE FINAL WORD

God has the final word . It is His world. He created the world and all that is in it. We are just creatures of His making. As creatures our thinking and doing are finite. We think only in limited ways. Our thinking is limited because we are limited. God is unlimited in His ways of thinking and doing. How can a limited being explain a unlimited God. No explanation can explain or describe the eternal being who is God. God made Himself known through His Son, Jesus. Man has sought to find out about God through His creation. This is only aspects of God. This is why God sent His Son to make Him known. In Him all of God is known. In Him alone can you acces God. He is God but limited Himself in human body so that we His creation can know Him. He came in the form of man to make Himself known so that we can have access to Him forever. I will one day die but my soul will live forever. God lives forever and in Him I live forever. Therefore this body will be changed one day to be like His. Eternity lives in me and in Him I will live forever. This is the gospel and everything else is an illusion of the real. Why invest in illusions when the real is here. Illusions are based on your senses. The real is based on faith.

FAKEDOM

All that you see is fake. We live in a fake world. Everything that is superficial is fake. Don't put your faith and trust in the outward. This is like building a house on sand. When you build on fake than you will be a fake. When you build on truth than your life will become true. Fakedom is the kingdom of this earth. Everything looks beautiful from the outside. It is only when you get close that the flakiness is revealed. From a distance everything looks good but on closer inspection disappointment arises as what you thought looked good was a fake. Wolves clothed in sheeps clothing appear to be nice only to bite you. Heaven is real and the Kingdom of God is real. This is a spiritual Kingdom. Don't confuse the earthly kingdom with the spiritual kingdom. Jesus came to reveal His Kingdom in heaven. His disciples became confused when the reality hit them when Jesus was crucified. You will also become confused when the fake is revealed for what it is. Look to Jesus the author and finisher of your faith. He is the One who is transforming you from within. Rest in Him and fix your eyes on Him and see the change. You will become what you focus on. Focus on rubbish and you will become rubbish. Focus on Jesus and you will become like Jesus.

GOD IS IN CONTROL OF ALL THINGS

God is in control and God's people have to fix their eyes on Jesus and not worldly news. When we fix our eyes on Jesus than He will enable us to see with His eyes and hear with His ears. He will work through your natural senses and so don't be confused. His thoughts and pictures flow through you and bypasses your mind. You think with His mind and feel with His heart. Your feelings will not dominate you but His thoughts and feelings will dictate your walk. Many think they know but it is only when they have entered into His mind and heart that they will really hear and see. The difference is that one is through our own thinking and feeling and the other through His. You will know the difference once you have experienced Him. Come now and be filled in His Spirit and see the difference. Your delight will be in the Lord and soon you will be smiling because you know He is in control of all things. The devil is a deceiver and will sow doubts into your mind but God is Truth and He will never leave you or forsake you. Just keep your eyes on Him and never stray from this position. He is in control of your past and future so let go all to Him. Live in the now and experience His abundance now.

FEAR

Fear is more a state of mind then what you face in reality. The reality of a feared object is more to do with your perception of the object than the object itself. Fear of dogs is a perception of dogs as animals that bite rather than an animal that loves. Once you change your thinking about dogs the fear dissipates. So also for other fears that dog you daily. Reality is never the issue. The issue is what you think is the reality. It is framed by past conditioning. A child who has never had a bad experience with a dog will be happy to touch it. However when once bitten than the fear generalises to all dogs. Now imagine what will happen when you can treat all fears as a fiction of your imagination. It will all melt away. You begin to live in what is before you rather than what you imagine to be. Imagination is good for it can be creative. However imagination which is fuelled by negative emotion like fear can entrap you. Today face your day by distancing yourself from your fears and walking in love. You are a incredible creation and life is waiting for you to be known.Never let fear dominate your life. Only let love control your life. He is love and He will love through you.

FREEDOM NOW

God purposed from the beginning and knows the end from the beginning. Giving man free will was His way of ensuring true freedom. Man's idea of freedom is within limits while God's idea is no limits. Without limits there is a freedom that takes risks to the extent to which that freedom can be used or abused. God is free to do anything He wants and He wants the same freedom for us His creation. However there is an enemy that had to be contended with and God took the risk when He created man to allow this. How amazing that He then decided to use His freedom to send His Son to be the sacrifice to reverse the sentence of the curse. What a plan no man could do yet God did. May many avail of this freedom now and not wait for the life here after. Freedom is for now and forever. So come and taste of His freedom in the Holy Spirit who is our Helper and Comforter. T

LOVE OR LUST

Love or lust. Discern what is driving you. Lust is based on your senses and is worldly. Love is based in your spirit and is heavenly. Lust is the predominant driver in all your operations in the world. Most times you are unconscious to this driver because you are controlled by your senses. When you become conscious of lust then you can detach yourself from it. Lust for power, sex, control, success, are all rooted in self or ego. The ego drives you to want more and more. You think the more you have the more you will be satisfied. This is a delusion for there is no limit to the lust of greed. Just like a hungry lion you are driven for more. In the end you come to a place where you come to your senses or consciousness that all you have been driven to is pointless, an illusion of satisfaction. This is the point where you hit rock bottom and now seek for that which lasts, that has eternal value. The things that you chased after was mere wind with no substance. Now you are ready to seek that which is eternal and which Christ purchased for you on the Cross, your salvation. Everyone goes through this journey and till death there is a pursuit for happiness, a desire to be fulfilled. The only real fulfilment is found in Christ who has gone before to prepare a place for you with Him in eternity.

DOES GOD REALLY CARE?

I am a God who cares. Many think I don't care for my creation because of all the pain and suffering they see around them. I am not a God who causes suffering although I may allow it for a season. Sickness and disease and pain and suffering are not present in heaven. There was no such thing in the garden of Eden. It is since the Fall that all this entered into life on earth. Why do I allow it you ask? Sin is real and the consequences of sin are pain and suffering. This can be due to your own sin or the sin of others. You are part of the whole. What affects one part affects others. You have to think beyond your self to understand the effects of sin. Sin does visit the third and fourth generations as a consequence of the sin of your forefathers. However I have made a way of escape. My Son died for sin and became sin that you may live. This does not mean a pain free living on earth. You can expect and receive healing but the delays could be due to various factors beyond your consciousness. Believe in My word and not what you feel and see. Believe in My word that says you are healed , releases His healing power to heal. Do not doubt My word. Only believe. Then one day it will happen and it will be as if it never happened.

SEPARATED TO LIVE IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

God has chosen you to live life in His Spirit. This is an abundant life available to all who will separate themselves to be possessed by Him. There is no division in Him. He is all or nothing. Separation from the world and attachment to Him is the only way to live an abundant life. This world and all it's cares will pass away. The destruction that you see around you is the work of the devil. You can judge what is of God and what is of the devil by the simple test of love. Love serves, gives and forgives. The devil takes, uses and abuses. The destructive forces in this world only show who is the god of the world. You belong to the Kingdom of heaven and not of earth. God is God of the whole world but He has given man authority to rule on earth. Man has chosen to follow the god of this world by serving his selfish ways then to serve God. However there is a remnant that serves God. These are the chosen ones who light the world of darkness. These are the ones separated unto God to serve Him. He is coming soon and the world does not know Him. Go and save those who are lost. You don't know who is in and who is out. Only God knows this. You are called to share His Good news and draw those caught up in the devil's web and rescue then from hell.

DON'T DESPAIR

Don’t despair I am being changed from within so that I can be a light. The darkness covering my soul will lift as I stay in the spirit. See how the Lord will open doors. For too long I have been satisfied in staying in the dark - not confronting and facing my fears and weaknesses. If I am to change then the wall that I have built around me has to be broken down. Your failures are part of the process. You can either withdraw or break out. This is your choice. Break out. You have been anaesthetised to a false sense of security through your job and position and wealth. You have not been living. For living is to experience life in all its’ fullness. Books, knowledge etc. - talk about life but this is not living - living is the day to day experience of acting on what you know. It is so easy to be detached from all that is going on around you. It is only when you are connected to others, when you make yourself vulnerable to others that you become real. This is what I am doing in you. I am calling you out of the nest you are in. I have a treasure within you that is bursting to come out but the walls have kept you in. Mere knowledge blocks you in. The soul is missing. So don’t despair but trust in Me. I have brought you and given you the desires of your heart. I want more for you than what you have now. Just move forward in faith - one day at a time. Your failures will be the stepping stones to a new place of liberty. For the failures will remind you of the fact that nothing is assured in this life. All that you have can disappear in a moment. Only faith and trust in God will last forever. So don’t despair. The angels are around you. The Father will lead you. The Holy Spirit will comfort you. Do not be distracted. Just live each day to the full. See how He will change your mourning into dancing. Only the Spirit can do this. It’s during these times that you are being moulded to be the person God wants you to be. The walk of faith will bring many challenges but none will be too hard for you. You are loved - this is the strongest, most solid experience that you have - the love of God so encapsulates you. Nothing is possible to break this. So bask in His love. He is strong for you. Be strong in Him. Go where the Spirit leads you. Go in His strength and in His mighty power. He has led you this far - now move forward. Don’t let the forces that come against you defeat you. Press on. Keep your face firmly fixed on the goal. Exams, trials, temptations have no power over you. You are blessed - so stay fixed. It is this tenacity - this confidence that will see you through. Don’t compare yourself with others. Remain fixed. Seek to grow. This is risky living - but you can because He who is in you is greater then he who is outside you, so put your faith and trust in Him. Hallelujah what a Saviour. So Lord I will trust in You. You are leading me on a different path. I know You are. I will follow - for You want me to be free to do what I want and not be boxed in by the system. Excerpt from Prisons of our mind and the road to freedom.
