GLORY

The relentless pursuit of God leads to glory. Glory is the filling of His Spirit in you like when Jesus walked on earth. He was so full of the Spirit that everything in His vicinity was affected.People felt His presence and were changed. This is how we need to be in the world. His presence in us being obvious to others.  They get changed by His glory in us. His glorious presence in us changes us. Our faces reflect His presence. Moses face glowed. You cant't but notice the change in appearance. This   is because His Spirit in us sees and hears through us. We are changed from glory to glory. What a habitation is ours because He dwells in us. Before the Holy Spirit filled us, all the workings were from without. Now He resides within us and does His works through us. Therefore be holy as He is holy. Recognise who you are in Him and stop going back to the old ways of doing things. Live in His presence and be changed.

FEELINGS

Feelings are part of our human make up. They are what make us alive. Without feelings we will operate like robots. Many have been so hurt or controlled by their feelings that they have chosen to suppress them. This makes them live life alone with poor connections with others. Many are afraid of their feelings because they have not learnt how to handle them. Feelings like waves can be managed. There are storms that come and go. Sometimes it is better to let the storm pass. Other times it is better to try and divert them Suppression may not be the best way to handle them. However it is better to bite the tongue than to express them. Emotions are like energy that needs to be channeled to maximum advantage. Like dark clouds they come and go. When you are feeling happy than all is well. However the feeling will not last long. When you are down the same thing happems. Out of control feelings have never been trained and therefore wrecks havoc on all around and on oneself. The solution to managing feelings is to face them and than to deal with them by addressing the underlying assumptions and thoughts. Wrong assumptions lead to negative thoughts which spark off negative feelings. You need to train your brain to recognise this and than slowly but surely you will be able to manage your feelings better. Come to Jesus who will help you calm the storm by lying on His breast where their is peace that passes all understanding. The clouds came and the storms raged but He slept while all around panicked. A safe hiding place is He and from this base you can conquer any mountain.

What would you do if you only had 24 hours to live

What would you do if you knew you had only 24 hours to live? I would live for Jesus. I would live to tell the world that Jesus is alive and there is no way to heaven but through Him. I will put all my eggs in one basket and say take all and give me Jesus. This would be my last testament. There is no other way to live but in Jesus. He is my all in all. He fills me with gladness for I am complete in Him. I have eternal life in Him. He holds my future and in Him I have nothing to fear, not even death. This is why I believe that we need to live to tell the world that Jesus lives. He is the answer to this wicked world where nothing is worth living for. He gives me life and that abundant. I live for Him because He gave His life for me. His life in me is the treasure I have and I treasure it with all my life. Come weary one and give your life to Him and live.

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.
