The Mystery Of Jesus, Both God And Man

Jesus, although God, restricted Himself to live as man connected to God

Jesus is God and man. While on earth He operated as a man and as God. He is the Son of God. Yet He took on the characteristics of man created in God’s imageHe went through the whole process of creation from conception to birth except that He was conceived in the womb of a virgin. He grew up as a child and went through all the developmental phases. He experienced all the trials and temptations faced by man. His divine nature was active from the beginning and He was imbued with power after His baptism by John the Baptist. Jesus had to spend many hours in prayer to commune with His Father in heaven and draw strength to face His daily battles. He was fully God and fully man. He overcame through His divine nature. He experienced the sinful nature of man but did not sin. He suffered and died a physical death but rose again. In His resurrected body He could move around without the physical limitations of His earthly body. He performed miracles in His physical body through His divine nature.

We also who are born again of the Spirit have a divine nature because His Spirit now lives in us. We too can operate the same way Jesus did, now that we have His new nature within us. We are a new creation in Christ Jesus. We also have a dual nature or personality. We also can operate as Jesus did in our divine nature. We too can perform miracles as Jesus did through His Spirit. What a divine transaction! Now all we need to do is surrender to His will and allow Him to grow in us. We too need to develop our spiritual nature till we attain to the fullness of manhood as Christ did. Only through the fullness of His Spirit is this possible.

Walking On Water

Over the past 2 years I have been on a journey of having to defend my communications on social media after a gay activist reported me to my medical board.The board investigated the complaint and placed 24 conditions on my registration. I challenged these conditions through my defence union and the conditions were reduced to 5. I was not satisfied with the reduced conditions as there was no evidence that my views expressed on social media were implemented in my practice in psychiatry. I appealed the conditions and a hearing date was set for a hearing before a tribunal. Meanwhile all the conditions were stayed and therefore I could continue to practice freely.I decided to retire from practice 6 months ago but wanted to continue with the appeal to support freedom of speech. My defence union withdrew its support as they felt they had done as much as they could to achieve a good outcome. I decided to represent myself at the tribunal. The Australian Christian Lobby were prepared to support me but could not afford to pay for a barrister, and I was not willing to bear the expensive cost either. During this period,many from the medical and justice systems who would have never read my blogs were forced to read them. I was prepared to be thrown into the lion's den, confident that their mouths would be shut and the  court room would be filled with His presence. This never eventuated as I cancelled the proceedings after I was told that I had to pay a hefty fee before the hearing. This did not matter now since I had already retired from practice 6 months ago. Through this journey I have learnt that God has used my voice to influence many who would never have read my blogs that are mainly a reflection of my daily thoughts on my spiritual journey. The whole experience has challenged me to "walk on water" and see God come through on each step of my journey.

YOUR SPIRIT HOUSES THE HOLY SPIRIT

Just as your body houses your spirit so also your spirit houses the Holy Spirit. You are a spirit on a earthly journey. Your body is just a house and operates through your senses. Your spirit is in tune with God and communicates with God. Your body senses His presence around you and within you. To be made in God's image is to be born in the spirit with God-like characteristics. This is why limiting your potential to what you can physically comprehend is limiting your true potential. God in you is limitless. When you grasp this your body will respond in like manner. You will be transformed accordingly. You will be able to achieve more than you can think or imagine. Your spirit will begin to control all your thinking and actions. Nothing will be impossible for you when God is in it. This is how man was able to achieve much through little. This is how man will continue to achieve more than is imaginable in the future. Enlarge your vision as there are no limits to what you can achieve in Him. Boundaries are only there to limit you. There are no boundaries in God. God is limitless. Therefore when you operate in the Spirit you become like God. You operate in His strength and might. The kingdom of God is within you. This means that the King reigns in you. All that belongs to Him belongs to you. Believe this and see His kingdom be established on earth as it is in heaven.

YOU WILL TRANSMIT THE SPIRIT THAT POSSESSES YOU

WHATEVER SPIRIT POSSESSES YOU WILL BE EXPERIENCED BY THOSE WHO COME IN CONTACT WITH YOU. IF IT IS A SPIRIT OF LOVE THEN LOVE WILL BE TRANSMITTED. IF IT IS A SPIRIT OF JEALOUSY THAN JEALOUSY WILL BE TRANSFERRED. BE CAREFUL TO BE FILLED WITH HIS SPIRIT SO THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS TRANSMIT HIS SPIRIT TO OTHERS.
AT THE CROSS THE DEVIL WAS DEFEATED AND RENDERED POWERLESS. NOW WE CAN CHOOSE TO WALK IN THE FLESH OR IN THE SPIRIT. WALKING IN THE FLESH WILL OPEN YOU UP TO THE SINS OF THE FLESH. WALKING IN THE SPIRIT WILL OPEN YOU UP TO THE FRUITS OF THESPIRIT LIKE LOVE, JOY, PEACE. BY FAITH POSITION YOURSELF AS DEAD IN CHRIST TO THE WORKS OF THE FLESH AND BE FILLED WITH HIS SPIRIT. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE IN CHRIST. HIS SPIRIT WILL FILL YOU WITH ALL YOU NEED TO STAND WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS. HE IS OUR ONLY HOPE FOR ETERNAL LIFE. LIVE LIFE TO THE FULL TODAY..

TERRORISM IN YOUR MIND

Terrorism is a fear word that raises the emotion of fear in many. Terrorism aims to spread terror and those who have experienced it suffer for years from the after effects of an attack. However few realise that terror invades our minds daily and yet we ignore its effects. The fear thoughts we have plague our minds and paralyse some. We don't want to talk about it because it will sound weak. Negative thoughts become a habit and keep us awake at night and disrupt our sleep. This then leads to other ailments of the body and mind. Many sicknesses are due to negative thoughts about self or others. It is easier to talk about terror attacks that occur outside the mind than in the mind. What is outside is more objective and is more distant from self. Acts of terrorism begin in the mind through programming and identifying an external enemy. It is easier to attack a perceived enemy than one who is within. Many ideologies have the same impact. Self is protected by blaming another. Putting another down is an age old technique of putting one up called upmanship. Once we identify the enemy within then it is easier to make changes and be at peace. A lot of wars start at this level of thinking. Many defend themselves against an enemy but fail to see that their real enemy is within them. The key to healing is in addressing the fear within and the perceived threat from outside will diminish rapidly. 

LUSTS

The lust for life is a driver in many areas of our life. This can get us into difficulties because it is centred on a desire to fulfill the lusts of the flesh. The bible talks about the lusts of the flesh in negative terms like the lusts of the eyes and the pride of life. Yet this is the area that many of us struggle in. What is driven by lust is carnal and needs to be crucified for it does not glorify God. The lust for sex drives sexual attractions. It maybe covered up as love but the driver is usually a strong sexual drive. Many times when the goal is achieved the lust reveals its true colours. Lust drives you and controls you. Love on the other hand always thinks of the other. It is never self centred. The only remedy for lust is death. No compromise will be effective. No amount of counselling can quell the power of lust. Fasting is one way to crucify the lust till it is rendered powerless. Jesus will help you overcome your lusts as you surrender to His control. Surrender is a position of trust. Obedience follows surrender. To obey is to trust that He will do what He promises to do. Addictions are driven by lust for food or sex or any other desire that is wholly self satisfying. Fast and pray till you have control over it. 

GROW YOUR GARDEN

The Kingdom of God is within you. The King resides in you. God's address is in you. You therefore have all the resources of  heaven in you to grow His Kingdom within you. The more you grow the greater will be your influence around you. The shift of focus needs to be from out there to in you. As long as your attention is focussed on things or people outside you to stimulate and grow you, you are more vulnerable to change and decay. The shift of focus must be from the outside to within you. This does not mean that you should stop looking to outside influences but rather you must focus on God's resources within you. This will enable you to grow strong and be an influence rather then be influenced. This is how the Kingdom of God will grow around you. Be an influencer for God. We all need to stand on our own two feet but also be part of His body. This way we will all do our part in being His body on earth.

FREE INVITATION

   Invite people to come into the Kingdom of God for this is a gift for eternity. God lives in eternity and those who live in Him are safe and secure. People need this security. In these days of fake news and uncertainty security is a priority. Money will appear to provide you with security but a sudden illness or accident could shatter your world into pieces. The only secure place is in God. Jesus came to give us eternal life and this is a gift to all who will receive Him and His finished work on the Cross.  Jesus rose again to prove that He is able to do what He said He would. Without the resurrection His death was in vain. However because He lives we have hope for tomorrow and for eternity. Come this Easter and receive the King of Kings and Lord of Lords into your life. 

IDEOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES

We have all been programmed over years to believe in one ideology or another. There are many ideologies and when we get hooked into only one way then problems arise. In this fallen world man can think and come up with theories that explain the reason for existence. This can vary from democracy to fascism and the many shades of grey in between. All these theories or ideologies tend to keep God out of the equation. This is man trying to live without God. Some believe in God but adopt a worldly ideology. This is the way systems are created by man and these systems change over time. There is no perfect system. Republicans will choose their own judges and so will democrats. The bias is built into the system. Judges are biased. We try to create a system which is as close to the truth but worldly systems are always biased. We are biased by our own beliefs. Beliefs are so powerful because they are what forms our identity. Therefore do not think that we are able to have a smooth sailing as at every turn you will face opposition. Jesus faced opposition although he was talking of a heavenly kingdom. The truth is somewhere in the middle and so welcome opposition for it means you are noticed.  God finally determines our destiny and so in Him you are safe and secure. No threat or trial is able to overcome you as long as you are centred in Him.

EXPLOSION

The time has come for an explosion in your ministry. God is taking you to a new place of power and glory. He will provide you with the skills and strategies to solve problems and bring break throughs. He will reveal to you fore knowledge so you know before hand what is to happen. You will wait on Him and be led by the Spirit. This is a new dimension of walk which is a promotion into the realms of the Spirit. You will be amazed by the revelations and intuitions that are from another world, the spirit world. This the time when the church has to move into supernatural realms to overcome. The usual mode of operation in the flesh is not sufficient to overcome the enemy. This is a war and not a battle. A war requires an upgrade in knowledge and strategy. I will reveal this to you and the enemy will be overcome before they know it. Therefore be prepared for a new dimension in your walk and talk as you are imbued with power from on high. Wait on the Lord for instructions and then move forward. The Angels will go before you to prepare the way. Selah.

CAN I BE A MUSLIM, HINDHU OR OF ANY RELIGION AND STILL FOLLOW JESUS?

Religion is a system of rules and orders that followers adhere to as a way of worship to their God. Jesus came to show a new way out of religion to a way of Life. He said He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Therefore it is possible to belong to a religious order and still follow Him. Most of us are born into a family and adopt the religion of our family. We are born muslim, Hindu or Christian . Now we have to choose to follow Jesus. Even a Christian can be a non believer. Just because one is born into a Christian family does not make one a Jesus follower. One needs to come to a place where conviction of sin and need of a Saviour is revealed. This revelation is a spiritual awakening to all who seek the way of salvation. We are saved from sin and its power to a new life born from above. We were born into this world of corruptible seed. We are born again of incorruptible seed. This means that we inherit eternal life. No man can rob us of this life. God keeps us in this life for eternity. This life is of His Son Jesus who came in the form of sinless man and died to save us from our sin. Sin and death, the result of sin, was defeated once and for all by His resurrection from the dead. Yes therefore you are not defined by your religion but by the life of Jesus in you.

DEATH PRODUCES LIFE

This is a paradox but true. Jesus died that I may have life. This is only possible because He rose from the dead. He had to die first before He could defeat death. He rose and His resurrection has purchased  His life for me. Now I can live His life on earth if I choose to identify with His death and resurrection life. This is a life of heaven on earth. This is what He calls abundant life. A life powered by heaven and producing life on earth. This life is available to all as He came to die for all. However we have to choose this offer of life. We can choose death or life. I have chosen life and that eternal life now. This means that I have immortal life now. Death is defeated and fear of death is banished. Fear of death is what causes death and decay. All of creation is waiting for the revealing of the sons of God. When we choose to die with Him then all creation rejoices for we bring life. All creation includes vegetation and animals and even inanimate things. We are all basically made out of energy and take a form depending on our creation. We are all affecting each other for good or evil. When we become aware of this then our consciousness of others rises and we realise our purpose is to bring His life to all creation. This is how the whole of creation becomes one and God's Kingdom is established on earth as it is in heaven. What a life, what a destiny.

Guidelines for moral living

The Bible is God's guideline for right living. God provided for us the rules for right living. When we live according to His word then we reap the fruit of right living. When we choose to ignore His word then we reap the results of our rebellion. In this age where morality is relative we have drifted away from His laws for right living and what we see is the fruit, lawlessness, sexual immorality and gender confusion, lust and depravation. God allows this just as He did with Sodom and Gomorrah and see what happened there. The end is self destruction. We see this in increasing self destruction through the use of drugs and suicide and self harm. These are warning signs that our lives are out of sync and we have lost direction without God and His word guiding us. When man chooses to follow his own wisdom than he reaps the results of his choices. God has given us a choice and we can choose to follow Him or disobey. Now in this PC generation anything is allowable and there are no guidelines to follow other than our own whim. We will reap what we sow. Therefore don't be surprised at the anarchy and chaos that follows. Let us return to the Bible and listen to His voice and follow Him.

MENTAL BLOCKAGES

Our minds will limit us in many ways if we allow it to be boxed in. We need guidelines to keep us in check. Just like rules they keep us boxed in to help us function. However these rules could also limit us from being creative and exploring spheres beyond those rules. This could be a limitation that prevents us from receiving because we are scared of the  unknown. Learning to sky dive is a new experience and quite frightening. However we take the risk to experience what others have assured us is safe. Till we do it we never know what the experience is. This can be applied in other areas of life where we have to operate beyond known rules. Faith is sometimes spelt risk. We have to believe and if we have mental blockages than we will find it difficult to believe. We will not see till we believe. This means we have to take a step into the unknown to experience the supernatural. Many will stop at this point and go no further. It is like a road block. The only way is to go back to our usual mode of operation. Once the block is removed by stepping out in faith then the miracle will happen. Our mind sometimes is the main hindrance to experiencing true deliverance from our prisons. These self made prisons keep us from experiencing the more of God. Relax and let go and let God take over and be free and experience what God has promised in His Word.

TRUTH DIVIDES

 Truth is truth and is in a person, Jesus Christ. Everything else is fake news. Truth therefore divides as there are many who don't believe in Jesus.  Jesus said that many will be divided because of Him. Father against wife, son against father etc. Why does this happen? In a world of compromises people desire peace but peace never comes through compromise. Why not? Because in compromise there is a drift away from truth. Jesus was clear when he mentioned that the goats have to be separated from the sheep. Goats but, sheep follow. The buts of this world will never accept the truth because they have too many buts. Jesus said if you follow me I will lead you to quiet waters. That is the peace He promises. Only in Him is there eternal peace. Therefore in Him only will there be eternal peace.
 Everything which is a compromise never lasts for it is based on a compromised foundation. Jesus is the Rock of all ages and the foundation He provides never moves. Truth is the same yesterday, today and forever . Those who put their trust in Him will know the truth and the Truth will set them free.

FAITH IS EVIDENCE

Faith is the substance of things hope for, the assurance of things not seen. Faith is evidence. Like signs and wonders following the preaching of the word. When I speak in faith I can expect to see the evidence. If this is in the physical realm than physical evidence. If the emotional or mental realm than  evidence of  freedom or release in this realm. If in the spiritual realm than evidence like speaking in tongues or deliverance. Expect evidence to follow your faith journey. Do not settle for anything less. In the anointing  you can expect evidence. Faith must be seen. Faith is not blind. The Jews expected to see a sign. Many are looking for evidence of our faith. This generation is so visual that they will not believe unless they see. God is revealing Himself in many ways especially in the Muslim world. Having visions and dreams is a sign. Therefore look for evidence of your faith. If it is physical healing expect to see evidence. If it is financial than expect to see financial supply being met. If it is emotional than expect to see freedom from emotional bondage. God is responding to your faith so expect much and much will be revealed.

WHEN TRUTH BECOMES FAKE NEWS AND VICE VERSA

We live in an age and what we knew as truth is being broadcasted as fake news. Once we knew what was right and wrong. Now it seems wrong is right. What were truths like created in the image of God as male and female are now being challenged as gender fluidity is preached as the truth. What was seen as holy sacraments of marriage and fidelity before marriage is seen as outmoded and stupid. It is ok to lie because it is politically correct and hide the truth because we should be inclusive and not exclusive. PC is the new norm. If I call a person fat it is abusive and not kosher. Black is white and white is black in this new world of tolerance at any cost. Therefore educational institutions have to comply with the new lingo or perish. Where will all this end but in moral and spiritual Armageddon. God is kept out of the equation in life because all we are is we see. What about the world of spirits and angels and the signs and wonders that occur daily in life? No that's all for people who are dumb and uneducated in this new world. Perish the thought that we have compartmentalised life so we are blinkered in our vision and only see the part and not the whole. So as the blind lead the blind we follow the music of the piper to death not having lived a life of fullness in God. Just in the days of Noah have we become hypnotised to oblivion and at what cost. Repent and be transformed before it is too late for God to have mercy and change our hearts to walk in His ways before it is too late.

ARE YOU PREPARED TO DIE FOR CHRIST.?

When you have come to the place that you are prepared to die for Christ, than you have truly experienced true freedom from the flesh and all it's desires. Jesus said anyone who desires to follow me must take up his cross and follow Him. Taking up his cross is to be prepared to die daily to all that  is of self, greed, pride, envy, lust, sloth etc. This is the only way to live in victory. Death means no desires can tempt you to sin. A dead man is dead to his senses. He is awakened to his spiritual senses. Now one can spend less time worrying about the cares of this world and be totally absorbed in the cares of His Kingdom. God has called us to be disciples not just followers. A disciple is disciplined daily to choose His way rather than my way. This means bowing down to trust and obey the Master in following His way. What a privelege and blessing to be called sons of God. You are now a priest and king in His Kingdom. Now you are able to call on Him and He will answer  swiftly. Nothing is withheld from him who will answer His call. What appears to be silence is working for you for a greater blessing. Come now and take up your cross and follow Him.

WALKING IN THE SPIRIT OR WALKING IN THE FLESH

God has given us His own Spirit  that we are now able to walk in the Spirit. This is the way Jesus walked on earth. He spent time with His Father and did what He saw and heard his Father doing. This is the way He wants us to walk. In the flesh we will feel impotent and helpless but in the Spirit we will feel strong. The more we walk in the Spirt the less will be the pull of the flesh. The flesh is our default mode. We will always switch to this mode but than we need to submit to Him and walk in the Spirit. This is a journey and as we choose to walk in the Spirit, He will enable us to do so. Rome was not built in a day so also we are continuously changed into His likeness as we walk in the Spirit. Jesus has given us His Spirit to dwell in our spirit. This is the new way He opened up for us after He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven. Now we can have His thoughts and feelings and this changes everything. What appeared impossible becomes possible in the Spirit. Life takes on a new dimension as you are no longer seeing things according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. What appeared as reality now bows to a new reality, the reality of the Spirit. This is supernatural living. There is limitless supply of everything in the Spirit. Many labour in the flesh and get burnt out. In the Spirit you are always living in abundance. Come Lord Jesus and fill me with your abundant life.

ONLY BELIEVE

Only believe is the key to tapping into the resources in heaven. Believe is a active word. We have to activate our faith through believing. I can passively believe something but it never results in the fruit of our belief. Fruit comes through actively believing that what we believe will be. This is the earthing of our faith. This is the substance of things not seen. We have to see in the spirit to receive the things of the spirit. We cannot receive by believing with our heads. It requires a shift from our head to our heart. This means that we need to set our critical faculty aside and begin to tap into our intuition. This is the deep knowledge of knowing that is beyond thinking. We think with our head . We believe with our heart. Jesus always addressed the issues of our heart. When we believe in our heart than we bring the kingdom of heaven to earth. All we need is available as all was finished at the Cross. Our physical, mental and spiritual needs were all finished at the Cross. Now we need to access them through heart belief.Praying in tongues enables you to shift from your head to your heart. All the gifts and fruits of the Spirit are released to you as you walk in the spirit.
