“ This is a Factual Statement of Declaration of revelation - the cross represents in one’s life. My true understanding of the cross Jesus was pegged out on and nailed down to – was the most exhibitional display of humility for a man to be succumbed to. His life on full display as finished – no more to be – and an insult to the person’s achievements – no more.
This cross Jesus was laid upon, pegged out for our transgressions – was for our benefit to be able to relate to as Jesus’ arms were stretched out – to surrender all – He was nailed down – pegged down and out so that His life was on display – that His surrendering arms and nailed feet, were no longer able to support Him – nor His arms – but the cross was to support Him. This enabled Christ to hang onto that cross as a symbol that we also must hang onto that cross, for as the Bible states in Galatians 3:13, ‘But by becoming a curse for us Christ has redeemed us from the curse that the law brings, for the Scripture says, “Anyone who is hanged on a tree is under God’s curse.” Christ did this in order that the blessing which God promised to Abraham, might be given to the Gentiles by means of Christ Jesus. So that through faith we might receive the Spirit promised by God.”
This ultimate sacrifice Jesus was brought on this earth for – was also to establish our rights as the Gentiles. For His pardon too – just like He was made flesh for the Jews – His people who had called out from the time of Moses, to the very present day – in Israel and all around the world – for salvation. Jesus is the Saviour of the world – over 2,000 years ago when He walked this earth, He helped create with the Father and the Holy Spirit – He does save even today and beyond – until He comes again in glory on the white horse through the clouds, to reclaim what is His and judge the unrighteous from His true followers in faith in Him – for all the time through to eternity to be with Him.
My true persona I claim is to be pegged out with Christ – nailed down to that cross with Him – all my fleshly desires I surrender to Him – all my sins and perditions I nail to the cross – all my earthly desires I surrender to Him, and any past or any present curses laid upon me, I also peg out on that cross of Jesus to be nailed down as a true sign of my belief that Jesus has redeemed us from the curse the law brings, and has redeemed us in newness of life as He was risen from that death the cross symbolised – we are now risen with Him – that is what I as a Christian, and all Christians are born again – a new creation in God’s way to be conformed, and no longer according to the standards this world expects – but for Him – for the Scripture says in Hebrews 13:6, “If God be for me who can be against me?”
Allelulia to the King of kings and Lord of lords – Jesus our Saviour, our Redeemer- and our God, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, we give them our honour and display our respect by staying sincere and Christlike, as we choose to be pegged out and crucified with Christ, Amen!”

OBEDIENCE
Obedience to The Father’s request through The Son’s orders, through The Holy Spirit’s guidance is the path of deliverance whch will enable all who choose to follow The Lord’s ways to become powerful, and in His mighty power – to do as He assigns for that particular matter of agenda’s dismissal.
My true interpretation of understanding in, “The Ways of The Lord,” is to always be constant and stable and not to give into doubt whatsoever – for any reason – for out of the heart, the mind speaks truth – but out of the will comes rebellion and rejection and disobedience to adhere to God’s provisions, for all in His perfect will and timing. Psalm 127 says, “That unless The Lord builds the house the work of the builders is useless.” This means that if a person continues to rebel and reject all offers of help to restabilise their standards – whether it be in life standards – job standards or personal standards of living – whether it be from family or friends trying to impose their BEST GOOD ADVICE for a particular matter present in a person’s life – it won’t be adhered to by the needy person . Because God cannot be two masters – He is the one and only true God, and where there is duplication of faith – to believe God can do all things – for one time when things are going well, to the reversal of faith, which is doubting in God's capabilities – God is not building that house – for the body is the temple of The Holy Spirit and if we ignore all promptings by Him – we are building our own house which can become vacant from grace, and become an open door for Satan and his fellow demons to occupy. This therefore becomes a trap for the person who believes and doubts continuously – because no reality is present when the inhabitants of that person’s house are doubleminded, with faith when the going is well, and doubt when difficulty comes upon their situation with only negative circumstances apparent.
People with an adverse agenda to God’s for their building of their lives upon “their standards,” cannot last for very long – with no permanent gains – only small pittances and no long lasting temperances.
My true aim here is to identify this personality to those who are continually objective to all advice to do better – for “ the downfall life” instead of doing what God requires, and that is to aim high for His perfection as in Psalm 27:4, “Living delighting in The Lord’s perfections,” so that all may go well with us permanently, and not a roller coaster road one minute and then a platform lifestyle, unbalanced and unroutined without changing for the better for yourselfor your family’s welfare.
Humility is the one hard factor of reality to regain the perfect will of God back into one’s life.
First, when the person has realised that “their way” is not the answer and want a true powerful lifestyle with balance and upright order – will have to admit – they can no longer live like this and they will accept humility from The Lord to be able to accept advice and adhere to them, by forgetting themselves and putting true faith into practice – this means submitting their will to The Father and to let Jesus become Lord of their life, with The Holy Spirit’s guidance daily. This will end the plight of self building – because apart from God – we can do nothing – and it’s only when this is acknowledged that through the grace, faith bounds, our reasonability can adhere to change for the better, once the”doubtful lifestyle has been repented of”, the life of the Builder – Jesus will take
over with the ability to change the thought patterns from self-indulgent to an open-minded reasonability. “Well done good and faithful servants,” The Lord will say to this through His achievers prayer for re-establishing God to be the builder of your house and lifestyle –“My Lord and my God I offer You my will and my life, for Your will to be done alone in my life. Amen!”

GOD'S PUNISHMENTS
The sixty promises to Abraham. This is to say, all of the blessings under the covenant that God made with Abraham, (Genesis 17:1,2 & 21) who by faith increased his headship as an authority in God’s true status of ordinances, through his willingness to be tested beyond all measure, by sacrificing his only dear son Isaac.
Abraham our father of faith, kept all the stipulations God The Father had assigned him, to have no other gods but Him alone, and to worship Him by sacrificing a bull or a ram as God had requested. By the sacrificial offering on a stone altar, the burnt carcass’s aroma would be a sweet smelling aroma, which delighted Father God. This form of a sacrifice was established through Abraham, throughout the ages leading up to the birth of Jesus Christ, which was an accepted form of worship used in the temples and synagogues, till no longer of practice in the time of Jesus’ resurrection, that He had become the sacrificial lamb God Himself provided, to bless His people to go to Him rather than for themselves by their own sacrifice of whichever animal they chose to burn on their altars – to The Lord.
God had provided His only begotten Son, for the sacrifice of His only way to Him for mankind, after the fall from grace of the men and women of the covenant God made with Abraham for the people’s benefit and His.
“My true purpose here is to tell you of the fall from grace – this happened within the first century of man – that I had to punish the earth’s inhabitants, for their wickedness – so I flooded the earth, and only one family survived to spread my true purpose for humankind – and that is to glorify the Lord their God with all their heart, and all their mind.”
This was to be accepted by them as friend and maker of the universe – their Father God Almighty, who always came to the people through His arisen prophets foretelling all God’s messages, as pre-warnings for the people’s justice.
“My heart has always been open to all who have seeked Me and tried with all their heart to obey Me and keep my statutes, which are – the principals of The Ten Commandments.
My true understanding was passed on to the people for the generations forthcoming, through the writings of The Bible as is today – for enlightenment on My – principals and terms of living under My blessings.
I will not pass any blessings onto the people who have been stubborn and hypocritical. But they shall receive much more for their disobedience, in not keeping My Laws – says the Lord.
I tell you – Yes I do punish all who do not love Me. (1 Corinthians 16:22 GNT)
“Whoever does not love The Lord – a curse on him.” (1 Corinthians 5:12-13 GNT)
My ordinances are as such – A curse upon him if he has not loved Me to obey Me.
The curses outlined in Deuteronomy 15 – are the punishment I will send to the fourth and fifth generations of the people who have rejected My Laws of The Ten Commandments, and all associated with them. I have not cursed man for the sake of punishment to just satisfy My needs and purposes – No – but because I love and want relationship with My creation, to live among them with their praises, I will bring everything to a place of harmony and tranquillity, if they prosper in keeping themselves true to Me, and abide in all My precepts.
The time that I did punish as a curse, was the city of Sodom and Gommorah, for their wickedness – I The Lord destroyed the lot, and let Lot’s family escape. For My covenant with Abraham – Lot’s uncle, was to be as a saving piece for his family. True to My word, I kept Lot from being destroyed too – only his wife who disobeyed, was turned into a heap of salt, as a reminder to all that I do punish.” (Genesis 14)
God’s punishment is so serious He did it to his wife and destroyed her forever, as a reminder to us all of how God is merciful – He warns many times – but after this, He keeps His word – for God cannot lie.
This episode is only one of many of hundreds of thousands of times that God – Yes, cursed His creation for abandoning His ways – so He abandoned them to the enemy’s pursuit for his own justice against God, for his own plight as an outcast from heaven too.
God did not release the plagues on Egypt, to just show that He could do anything, but only after He – through Moses, was disobeyed by the people receiving His message, through His man of God – Moses and Aaron his spokespersons.
True to His word – God will not allow the desecration of His true word, and so He does allow punishment to be used, to bring back His fold to enlighten them on the darkness of sin, apart from Him.
God The Father in Genesis 3, did plant the beautiful garden He named Eden, because he longed for a loving relationship with His creation man – Adam – whom was given a female mate, as his wife, for fellowship with God. He forgot God, when he just gave into Eve’s request alone – without consulting God his maker, and it got him into trouble, when he was seduced to believe what he would be doing was harmless – but the price to pay was so hard and so unaccepting by them, that they hid themselves from God The Father – who would fellowship with them in the cool of the day – each day – to see His beloved creations, enjoying in His abundances.
Adam and Even were immediately conscious of the error of judgement against their Father – God their creator, but without repentance they failed and were escorted from grace to hardships.
These hardships were due to their disobedience, and you too can learn from their life, from Genesis 15 – the life they had now accepted, was God’s curse upon them and upon all they had. Like their son’s fate under God’s curse, which was to be the first murder ever to be recorded, of the brother who was kind and respectful into the hands of the deceiving brother Cane, who killed his brother Able out of sheer jealousy for what his brother did for God – he sacrificed his first harvest of all his fields to God in thanksgiving – which God was pleased and prospered him – but the curse being concurrent, left no place for the favour of God for His protection, and so the maligned brother took his revenge for God’s discord with him, in not giving of his first fruits – but only what he could spare to sacrifice for The Lord’s goodness.
God was not present for them to help and give His favourable blessings in protecting their family from harm’s way – so He allowed harm – which is the Devil’s attacks against God, through His creation – to hurt and inflict hardship in their lives.
“This is it – the plight of the evil, will result in hardships and hurts away from My covering. Under My covenant of blessings from Abraham to the present day, and for the future generations who love and honour and obey Me, the other is this – Blessed are those who search for Me and find Me in doing My ways of true love and honour for Me, within the guidelines of My Laws, The Ten Commandments – for they shall be blessed – their families shall be blessed, and their covering under My mighty hand for their protection and My favour.
This is true favour which I can always give freely and pass on My mighty covering of grace, through The Blood of The Lamb Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who is My beloved Son -
So from all peoples, this is what I require – Listen, learn and obey The Lord their only God.
Give me the pleasure of their gratitude, and give thanks before they have what they so desire, and I will reward all who seek Me with a repentant heart and with a heart to learn and do and put into action, what I have taught them through My Word – The Bible.”
Abraham our father of faith, kept all the stipulations God The Father had assigned him, to have no other gods but Him alone, and to worship Him by sacrificing a bull or a ram as God had requested.

Living Under Grace
When those people around you cannot understand the life that you are leading, tell them this, ‘I am living under the grace of the Almighty!’ While they may not quite understand what you are telling them now, they are certainly going to witness some amazing things unfold in your life and come to fruition.
Right now, you are being led upon a new track – one that is far from the imaginations of many. When people see where you are going, they will reach out and ask for the living God to show them the way also! They will be asking that you explain to them just what has been going on and why you have made so much advancement and progress in so little time. This is when they begin to understand that a life lived in harmony with the Lord, is a life of blessings and dreams coming true.
Being in the right place at the right timing is one of the many benefits of this life. You simply cannot go wrong! What you are about to see and experience is that all the events that begin to unfold around you, all add up to the amazing plan that God has for your life! There will be windows of opportunity everywhere! The more you take advantage of the opportunities which come your way, the more opportunities will present themselves to you. You will know in your heart which way to go and you will find that as you step out in faith, you will be supported, protected and guided along life’s highways.
The dry season is over now! You have found your way to fortune’s galore! Restoration of all the many dreams and plans that you once had is occurring right now, all around you.
Be that as it may, you must be careful that you never take for granted the many ways that you have been blessed by the Lord God Almighty. Be thankful always that He has led you to places unheard of by those around you. Always appreciate the way in which He has managed your life and you will be living always under the grace of the Almighty. Go and bless and be blessed, in Jesus mighty name! Amen!
PS The world around you doesn’t understand that just because it is faced with lack and poverty, that it does not have to succumb to that way of living. You will teach people the way by demonstrating how it is done, by living your life as a testimony to the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Proverbs 4:18 NIV “The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” Amen!
All glory for these words as always, goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Everybody's Perfect!
Does anyone ever bring with them the knowledge of Christ when they become born again and baptised with the Holy Spirit? Are not My thoughts not your thoughts – My ways higher than your ways? Is 55:8 NKJV “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.”
When you come to Me, I accept you as you are in whatever place you are at. 1 Corinthians 7:17-24 NKJV “But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches. Was anyone called while circumcised? Let him not become uncircumcised. Was anyone called while uncircumcised? Let him not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters. Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called. Were you called while a slave? Do not be concerned about it; but if you can be made free, rather use it. For he who is called in the Lord while a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called while free is Christ’s slave. You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men. Brethren, let each one remain with God in that state in which he was called.”
You cannot possibly know all there is to know – this is true – yet so many of you struggle with their daily walk, thinking that they somehow lack knowledge in certain areas, or that they don’t ‘measure up’ to My requirements! Well HEAR THIS! I chose you before you were born! I already knew all about your shortcomings. I have loved and accepted you JUST AS YOU ARE! To Me, YOU ARE ALREADY PERFECT. And not only that, you are whole, complete and lacking in nothing. This is the righteousness in Me. You are the righteousness of God in Christ! 2 Corinthians 5:21 NKJV “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
This is why I came! This is why I sacrificed! This is how much I love you! Some of you out there really need to listen to what I am telling you here. Satan would have you believe that you are not worthy to be in My Kingdom. Now this is a lie. It is a part of the great many lies that he is telling you. Right now, he is angry with you, because he knows the truth. He knows all the scriptures too – and he does not want you to succeed. He will go to any lengths to try to tell you that you are not fit to serve Me. Well folks – his time is up! When you start to feel as though you are not good enough, you fight back with the scriptures! You use My word for what it was designed for! Speak it out in faith and watch it change your circumstances! Speak it forth into all your life’s challenges and situations and be amazed at how your life becomes whole – how you become the person that I know you to be.
Romans 5:12-17 NLT “When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. Yes, people sinned even before the law was given. But it was not counted as sin because there was not yet any law to break. Still, everyone died—from the time of Adam to the time of Moses—even those who did not disobey an explicit commandment of God, as Adam did. Now Adam is a symbol, a representation of Christ, who was yet to come. But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ. And the result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s free gift leads to our being made right with God, even though we are guilty of many sins. For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.”
PS When you find that you are feeling as though you are not acceptable in My sight, remember that I love you now, I have always loved you, and will continue to love you forever and all time and throughout all eternity. You are mine and I am yours. Be that person. Be the one whom I chose long ago. Know and understand that I see you as that person and that nothing you could ever do will change that fact. ALL IS FORGIVEN! Amen. Romans 4:18 NKJV “Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin.” Amen.
All glory for these words, as always, goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Power of God's Love!
Never underestimate the power of God’s love! It is up to you to realign yourself to this truth in order that you may grow accordingly into the wondrous and mighty warrior that He predestined you to be! We are all His warriors – you and I – and we have been chosen to be His instruments all according to the many plans that He made for us long before our birth into this world. Psalm 18:34 KJV “He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.”
Much shall be accomplished if you will allow yourself to be given direction and instruction by Him. He will set you on your path and will provide all that you could ever need so that you will not want for anything throughout your life. The Lord IS our shepherd and indeed we will have EVERYTHING that we need to get the job done. Psalm 23:1 KJV “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
You will receive much joy from walking this path. Although you will come across many who will not be in agreement with you and the path you are on, and you may receive much criticism from those around you, the one thing to remember always is this: Hebrews 13:5-6 KJV “I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE, NOR FORSAKE THEE. So that we may boldly say, THE LORD IS MY HELPER, AND I WILL NOT FEAR WHAT MAN SHALL DO UNTO ME.”
Your enemies may try to cause you problems or afflictions, but the Lord your God will have them fleeing in seven directions! Yes that’s right! He will not allow them to be successful in any of their plans carried out against you because you are now living under His jurisdiction. Psalm 91:1 KJV “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
Our God is an awesome God! He will not let you fail. He will protect you and guide you as you carry out His instructions that He has given you. You will be surprised at how easy this all is and you will be rewarded many times over for your diligence.
As we walk along our paths, day by day, and we are being responsible citizens of His Kingdom, showing Him our faith and trust, the days become larger thereby allowing you to achieve much more than what you could on your own. He has given you ‘length of days.’ Proverbs 3:1-2 KJV “My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.”
You will have the same amount of hours as everyone else, but you will be able to just flow from one activity to the next, as though your feet have barely touched the ground! This is what happens when you live in the Kingdom of the Almighty God! This is what it’s like to walk in the supernatural! God will even send His angels to help you to get things done! Psalm 103:20 KJV “Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.”
PS Always remember that although in this life there will be many trials to undergo, the rewards are far beyond anything we can possibly imagine in this earthly life. You will experience Heaven on Earth – The New Jerusalem – and you will spend all of eternity being wrapped up in God’s love! Glory to God forever and ever. Amen!
All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Stand Up and be Counted!
Rise up all you nations and serve the Lord God Almighty! Take up your sword and put your armor on that you may be counted worthy to serve the King of kings and Lord of all lords! Be advised that you may come into contact with many who will try to thwart your plans. That is the enemy, and he will stop at nothing to try and get in your way. Ephesians 6:11 NKJV “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
Be that as it may, he will not be successful for I will ensure that you are protected and guided along life’s highways, and you will be given much to assist you on your journey. I will be there for you always, and never will I forsake you. Psalm 37:23-24 NLT “The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand.”
You must be strong, and stand your ground in the face of all evil. Have faith that nothing by any means shall ever harm you, and that you will indeed come out shining like the lights that you all are. 1 Thessalonians 5:5-11 NKJV “You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.”
There is a great move of the Holy Spirit happening right now, and there will be a harvest of many souls. This is a time like no other! Many will come into the Kingdom! Many, many will be saved! You can count on it! Revelation 14:14-16 NKJV “Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.”
This I say to you, you must rely upon Me in My greatness to supply you with everything you will need in order that My plans and desires for you be fulfilled. There must be a willingness to serve Me at all costs, whether it be at the loss of some who are close to you, or the falling away of certain aspects of your lifestyles. Let them fall away now. Let them all go, for they no longer can walk with you on your path.
The ones who do stay, however, will be transformed by the light! They will become brand new individuals having been changed from within! They will become new creations! 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
Of course, many who are led on this journey will become totally different people to who they were prior to coming into My Kingdom. This is good news for some, with the old falling away, and much of the little annoying habits and personality traits that you weren’t happy with, all disappearing as you become whole! Things you thought you could never change about yourself, suddenly become non-existent! You will see yourself in a new light because you have become that light. You, my friends, are the lights of the world! Hallelujah! Glory be to God forever! Amen. Matthew 5:14-16 NKJV “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
PS 2 Corinthians 5:6-15 NKJV “So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
The Judgment Seat of Christ
Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.
Be Reconciled to God
For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart. For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you. For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.” Amen.
All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Be that as it may, he will not be successful for I will ensure that you are protected and guided along life’s highways, and you will be given much to assist you on your journey.

Blessed Are the Pure In Heart
To be blessed means to receive God’s favour upon any situations in your life. When we walk in harmony with what God wants for us, that is, according to His will, we shall see Him at work for us in the many different aspects of our lives. Matthew 5:8 NKJV “Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.”
We must begin by purifying ourselves and our hearts of anything unclean, including and especially in our thoughts; as our thoughts tend to dictate what comes out of our mouths. Matthew 15:18 NKJV “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.”
It is written in Proverbs 14:14 NKJV “The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, But a good man will be satisfied from above.” From our hearts also come our intentions and motives and if we continue to operate from a perspective of anything unclean or impure, then God cannot and will not bless our actions. Psalm 19:14 NKJV “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.”
If you wish to have the life of your dreams, and to see the many plans that God has for you being fulfilled in your life, then you must continue to work hard at maintaining a purified heart. We must be diligent and continually monitor what is in our hearts. Be not afraid! God wants to bless you! Ask God to help you to overcome any obstacles. He will lead and guide you in His ways of righteousness. Psalm 51:10 NKJV “Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
God’s plan for you is for you to prosper! He wants you to succeed in all areas of your life! Ensure that everything that is unworthy, or unfit for those who belong to God’s Kingdom is removed from your hearts and minds, and replaced with love and the honest desire to serve the Lord God Almighty, and you will soon see an outpouring of blessings upon you and your family, and your life will be transformed beyond anything you could ever imagine! Psalm 139:23-24 NKJV “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.” Glory to God!
PS 1 Timothy 6:11-16 “But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.”
All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Amen.”
All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Courage by God!
He will fight for you! God gives us the courage to stand and fight for our rights as His children. He will win every battle for you because He loves you. He is faithful and true, and can be relied upon in any circumstance. Hebrews 10:23 NKJV “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”
We are strong in Him. He gives us the courage and the stamina to endure what must be endured, and to overcome every trial known to man. He is the one who will save you from the pits of despair; from every disease and sickness, as long as your walk is with Him. Psalm 103:1-5 NKJV “BLESS the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagles.”
Every battle belongs to the Lord. He is fighting for you on your behalf.1 Samuel 17:47 NKJV “Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD’S, and He will give you into our hands.”Our fight is not with the people we love, nor is it with your employer, nor is it with the taxi driver, or the pizza delivery man, or even the dentist. No! It is with the powers of darkness. Ephesians 6:12 NKJV “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
God provides us with the strength and the endurance necessary to win this race. All we need to do is to trust Him that all is taken care of for each part of the journey. He will equip you beforehand with all the necessary ingredients you need in order to cross that finish line. We must however take the first step, and walk in it. We must take one step at a time. Psalm 40:1-3 NKJV “I WAITED patiently for the LORD; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth – Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the LORD.”
As we step out in faith, God will provide us with what we need for the next part of the journey, and so on, and so on. He has already prepared the way for us. We just need to get over our fears, and continue hand in hand with Him. He will get you through the toughest of trials. He will lift you up lest you dash your foot against a stone. Psalm 91:9-12 NKJV “Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.” Amen!
PS Jude 1:24-25 NKJV “Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.
All glory for these words goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

All Things Are Possible
God says, yes indeed, all things are possible. We only have to have faith for this to be true. At times it seems as though there is nothing you can do to help a particular situation, and yet, there is the sense that once God gets involved, our entire lives can be transformed.
God is indeed sovereign in our lives. He is the one who can make all your dreams come true. Turn your life over to Him now and watch it grow and grow into a brilliant masterpiece!
When we seek God in all things, something wonderful begins to occur. He begins to take you on a journey. It’s a journey of challenges, but the road ahead of you is bright with the light of the Lord. He leads the way to truth, possibility and understanding. Life’s mysteries begin unfolding all around you, and you come to a place where you are given much guidance and relevant information for your life.
You soon begin to prosper. Prospering in the small things at first and then leading on to the bigger things. Daily chores begin to take on new meaning, since everything you do, is done for the Lord. You begin to shine in dark places, becoming a light for your household. Matthew 5:14 NKJV “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Your life’s purpose starts to take shape. Things that you never dreamed possible become glorious possibilities now! New talents are unleashed in you as you forge ahead in your new role. Things that you never even knew about yourself are discovered, and new capabilities become apparent.
God equips us with certain gifts that we are to use when serving our Lord. Different gifts for different people, all according to God’s special purpose and design for your life. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NKJV “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.”
PS We are all unique members in the one body, that is the Body of Christ, so let us all receive our gifting that the Father has chosen and set apart for us in this life, in order to serve our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:10 NKJV “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Amen.
All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.”
PS We are all unique members in the one body, that is the Body of Christ, so let us all receive our gifting that the Father has chosen and set apart for us in this life, in order to serve our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:10 NKJV “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Amen.
All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
The Power Of Love
God is love. He shares His love with us every day. Many of the things we see around us are expressions of that love. We only need to look outside in nature to see that love unfolding every minute of every day. Every intricate detail has been taken care of, for the plants and the animals too.
Each facet of nature has its own very important role. It plays its own part so that everything can come together to form the perfect tapestry. Even something seemingly minute and insignificant is equally important in its function so that everything remains in perfect balance.
Life for us humans is like that too. No matter how seemingly insignificant our role is, it is still precious and important in God’s eyes. He has us placed exactly where we need to be, so that his perfect will shall be done.
This balance can be quite delicate at times. It takes only one of us to decide to do things our way instead of God’s way to upset this balance. When we interfere with God’s plan by taking matters into our own hands, this is when we can experience delays in the manifestation of our desires.
We must not interfere with God’s will. Of course, it goes without saying that if we are believing for something to become a reality in our lives, we must continue to stand on His word and never give up.
Patience is a virtue. It’s only when we lose faith that our lives become a shambles. God warns us about this in His word. He tells us to have patient endurance through all the trials and sufferings. He tells us this because He loves us and He wants us to receive all our blessings that are due to us! 1 Peter 5:10 NKJV “But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.”
Of course, we know that God made the ultimate sacrifice out of His love for us, and that is, He sent His one and only beloved Son to be born of the flesh, to walk amongst men, to heal the nations and to die for us so that we could live. Because of Jesus, we have been redeemed from the curse of the law. Galatians 3:13-14 NKJV “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
The power of love can mend a broken heart, and comfort a lonely soul. The power of God’s love can move mountains! The power of God’s love can heal all our diseases and enable us to prosper in everything we do. All we need is a little faith and we can expect to see those miracles unfolding in our lives. Psalm 103:1-5 NKJV “BLESS the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Amen.
PS 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NKJV “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, love never fails.” Amen.
All glory for these words as always goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

For We Walk By Faith and Not By Sight
For it is by sight, that we lose connection with all things good! Our faith is what connects us to the impossible. Our faith is what helps us to transcend difficulties. Our faith brings us into line with God’s will. For when we walk by faith in God, and in all of His many promises in the Bible, we can be assured of success in this life! 2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV “For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Our faith helps us to breathe easier during times of trouble. It is by faith that we can conquer the evil in our lives. Having faith means that we cannot give in to fear. Fear cannot exist when we stand firm in our faith. God did not give us a spirit of fear, no! He has given us the gift of faith. 2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
The devil will try and rob you of your blessings. He is happy when you are not walking in faith. We must be strong and of good courage, and stand against the devil in order that we may receive all of our inheritance. We must resist the devil. James 4:7 NKJV “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”
Our muscles grow over time, with use and by exercising them. When we put our faith in Jesus, we can expect to see results. He promises us that if we have faith as a mustard seed, we can accomplish great and amazing things! It is written Luke 17:6 NKJV “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.”
God says that we cannot please Him without faith. He wants us to believe in Him, in order that we may receive our blessings. Hebrews 11:6 NKJV “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Faith comes to those who practice it. Our faith is increased when we stand on God’s word. The more we use it the more we will see those things that we have hoped for and dreamed of, coming to fruition. It’s easy then to have faith, once we see God’s promises all unfolding in our lives.
It is through having faith in God that we are able to rise above challenges. The more we read God’s word, the more we learn about who we are in Christ. Just knowing who we are to Jesus, strengthens us, enabling us to stand up to whatever lies ahead.
A life with Jesus is a life of miracles. He died on the cross so that we could live a full life, rich with blessings and abundance, and free of all the curses that sin brings. He died so that we can be whole and complete, and lacking in nothing.
He died so that we could have eternal life. 1 John 5:11-12 “And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.”
PS Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV “ Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Amen.
All glory for these words, as always, goes to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

PS Hebrews 12:1-2 NKJV “ Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Amen.
All glory for these words, as always, goes to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Harvest Is Nigh
All things that seem impossible in this life are indeed possible for God! Often, when we are in the midst of a situation, it can look as though the problem is insurmountable. Our earthly surroundings dictate this to us on many levels. Nature itself is a good example of how sometimes we may see only weeds growing in the ground, but then, all of a sudden, as if by faith, new life bursts forth, producing much fruit for the harvest!
Your time will come, all of you, when you see your ‘misfortune’ turn to blessing. Suddenly, it will come upon you and you won’t know what hit you. You may be thinking, ‘Oh but I’ve been waiting years for this or that!’ Suddenly, the time has come. You will look and find that all your work, that is your faith with actions, have all blossomed into the abundant harvest you’ve been praying for! Revelation 14:15 KJV “And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”
His great seal of approval is upon you and your family. You have done well in that all fear has been conquered within you, and you have taken the steps that the Lord has issued you. You have shown excellence in that you have endured ‘patient suffering’, while you’ve been longing for results. Revelation 14:12 KJV “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”
Finally, you have been set free! You have learned to give in and not give up. Given in that is, to the Lord’s Will for you in your life. You have come thus far on the journey that you’ve learned to surrender, and to trust completely in His plan. You have died to ‘self.’ Revelation 14:13 KJV “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them!
Read this again my friends! “That they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them!” This is the reward of your faith, patience and trust! Hallelujah! This is the reward of your peace during the storms! Praise God! Philippians 4:7 KJV “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” And last but not least, this is the reward of surrendering to the Lord and ‘allowing Him’ to make your paths straight! This is when the Lord will say to you, “Well done, my good and faithful servants!” God bless you and your families and may the joy of the Lord be ‘your’ strength! Amen.
Matthew 25:21 KJV “His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Amen.
All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe as always, have gifted me with these words for you. Amen.

Faith Knoweth No Bounds
Faith brings with it many challenges. Challenges we must try to overcome. If we want to live the ‘life extraordinary’, then we must refuse to give in. We must walk the tightrope to life. That includes never relying solely on your own judgement – it means having to take a stand against the Devil.
Faith is a lesson we all must learn. With it comes many a blessing of the supernatural variety! God’s plan is to conquer fear in His servants. With God’s perfect love and grace in our lives, fear gives way to love. 1 John 4:18 NKJV “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.”
The reality is we are going to be tested. If we are going to succeed in this world, we need to have faith. Not just any old faith, but faith that God’s love can move mountains. 1 Peter 6:7 NKJV “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
As His servants, we will become trained in the area of faith. This will ensure that we are able to stand up to many trials that we must undergo. Once we become quite familiar in the ways of faith, we shall see many miracles come to pass. Life will never be the same again. We will be well-equipped to enable the Lord to work great wonders through us in our lives and in the lives of our families too.
When we believe for the impossible, this opens the gateway for the Lord to reveal to us His wonderful gifts that He has hidden from view. Much can and will be accomplished once we become sturdy in our belief and trust. It has been said that many an obstacle will be overcome once we become strong in our faith. Luke 17:5-6 NKJV ‘And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.’
With many challenges overcome, you will look forward to a bright new life. You will then see much improvement in your standard of living. The darkness is behind you with many opportunities for advancement coming your way. You will grow in your relationship with Jesus and will experience more and more joy in your days. Psalm 16:11 NKJV “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
Let no-one deceive you into thinking that you must rely on your own human efforts to get anywhere in this world. No my friends. That is not how it happens! I can guarantee you that once you have mastered this new level of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will be blessed beyond all capacity to understand! This I know to be true because the Lord has done it for me. God bless you, in Jesus name. Amen.
All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe blessed me with these words herein.
PS May the Lord be with you all and keep you and your families in these times of trials and sufferings, and may you all appear blameless before Him so that you may receive His perfect blessings and miracles in your lives. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 NKJV “Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” Amen.

Hope Brings Peace
As I watched the TV this morning, I became aware of the great many tragedies that are occurring all over the world. From the point of view of a concerned Christian, it is hard to see such sorrow and despair written all over the faces of the human beings who have lost their families, their homes and their possessions.
Of course it is hard for Christians and non-Christians alike. But who are we to judge? We cannot know the reasons for this. All we know is that God is in control. He knows all the facts – things which may be hidden under the surface.
I have learned so for that things are never quite as they seem, and that all things fit together to form God’s plan. The more we think we understand, the more we discover there are many things that we have yet to learn.
One thing is for certain though. He is going to fulfil His plans for us here on this Earth. Undoubtedly, we are to remain firm in His ways and not give in to fear. Fear as we know, is not from God – it is from Satan. 2 Tim 1:7 NKJV “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
We must remain confident that all things are working together for our good. Our faith is what we have to hang onto during these troublesome times. Faith triumphs in trouble! Romans 5:1-5 NKJV “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
When we see things from this perspective, we are able to come to the conclusion that we are not to live according to what we see. 2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” We must rise up above all the bad news that is filtering through to us on a daily basis. This is how we can remain peaceful and not get carried away by our emotions. Philippians 5:6-7 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
All things considered, we should try to accept that the final plan for God to bring His glorious new Kingdom to Earth is in place, and we will know such joy and wonder once this has happened! We will be home with our Lord Jesus Christ to the fulfilment of His promise prophesied in Revelation. Revelation 21:10 NKJV “And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God.”
Naturally, we do not know how long we have left. There are many theories out there, and I’m not about to expound on them. Perhaps it is sooner rather than later, sometime in the near future – or perhaps it will happen in another 1000 years! Who knows? But one thing is for sure, God will see to it that everyone who has their names written in the Lambs Book of Life will all be gathered together into His open loving arms, and it will not eventuate until every last soul who is meant to be saved – is saved! So be it. Come, Lord Jesus! Amen.
PS Revelation 21:24 NKJV “And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.” Amen
All praise and glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, whom I believe as always have guided me with these words herein. Amen.

But one thing is for sure, God will see to it that everyone who has their names written in the Lambs Book of Life will all be gathered together into His open loving arms, and it will not eventuate until every last soul who is meant to be saved – is saved! So be it. Come, Lord Jesus! Amen.
PS Revelation 21:24 NKJV “And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.” Amen
All praise and glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, whom I believe as always have guided me with these words herein. Amen.

Christianity In Full Swing
Regardless of our commitment to ‘the faith’, at times we need to take a look at how we conduct ourselves as Christians. There is a certain requirement as Christians, and that is to love. Sounds basic doesn’t it? Well, sometimes with all the trials in life, we allow ourselves to get bogged down with day to day living and responsibilities. If we are to become fully-fledged Christians, then we are to commit ourselves fully to this path. We must aim to walk as Jesus did.
We must demonstrate to others what the walk of faith is all about. They must see for themselves all the good reasons why they should explore a relationship with the Lord and become Christians themselves. The key here is to set the example of how one should live in union with Jesus. The key is Jesus! Colossians 2:2-3 says “I do this in order that they may be filled with courage and may be drawn together in love, and so have the full wealth of assurance which true understanding brings. In this way they will know God’s secret, which is Christ himself. He is the key that opens all the hidden treasures of God’s wisdom and knowledge.”
When we see how this works, we will have gained all the knowledge necessary on how to create a life worth living in harmony with the gospel. We will at times come into contact with those who are living a life less ordinary. It is written in Colossians 3:12-14 “You are the people of God; he loved you and chose you for his own. So then, you must clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Be tolerant with one another and forgive one another whenever any of you has a complaint against someone else. You must forgive one another just as the Lord has forgiven you. And to all these qualities add love, which binds all things together in perfect unity.”
God wants us to be a demonstration of what Christianity is really about. It requires much effort on your part to remain firm and committed to the truth. There are many distractions that are part of living here on Earth, that have a way of redirecting our attention elsewhere.
We need to constantly remember that Jesus lives within us, and we must refocus our attention back to Him. With all the noise and clutter that act as constant intrusions, it is sometimes quite challenging to do this. We must train ourselves to live in close communion with the Lord. The more we practice this, the easier it becomes. We find ourselves living more closely with Him, and coming to Him with all of our decisions and choices. Colossians 3:15-17 says “The peace that Christ gives is to guide you in the decisions you make; for it is to this peace that God has called you together in the one body. And be thankful. Christ’s message in all its richness must live in your hearts. Teach and instruct one another with all wisdom. Sing psalms, hymns and sacred songs; sing to God with thanksgiving in your hearts. Everything you do or say, then, should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, as you give thanks through him to God the Father. Amen.
PS Colossians 2:6-7 says “Since you have accepted Christ Jesus as Lord, live in union with him. Keep your roots deep in him, build your lives on him, and become stronger in your faith, as you were taught. And be filled with thanksgiving.” Amen.
All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe as always have guided me with these words. Amen.

The Truth According To God's Word
When you walk in trust, two things will happen. You will be led on an amazing journey filled with miracles and blessings, and others will see for themselves the kind of life you can have when you give yourself over to the Lord. God has great things planned for you and me. Things which we cannot even begin to imagine!
If you’ve already been walking in the truth then you will know and understand that you may have come so far on your own, but it has indeed been the Lord that has carried you the rest of the way.
We cannot achieve anything by our own efforts - anything of any lasting value that is. Of course, faith without works is dead. James 2:15-16 NKJV says ‘If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.’
Living by faith means that you will sow your seed and then believe and expect it to germinate. Depending upon the state of the ground, that is your level of faith and trust, you will begin to see new growth. Matthew 13:20-23 says “The seeds that fell on rocky ground stand for those who receive the message gladly as soon as they hear it. But it does not sink deep into them, and they don’t last long. So when trouble or persecution comes because of the message, they give up at once. The seeds that fell among thornbushes stand for those who hear the message; but the worries about this life and the love for riches choke the message, and they don’t bear fruit. And the seeds sown in the good soil stand for those who hear the message and understand it: they bear fruit, some as much as a hundred, others sixty, and others thirty.”
Don’t be like the ones who sowed their seeds in rocky ground or amongst the thornbushes. Be like the ones who planted in the good soil, and receive your blessings as much as a hundred!
Absorb the word. Read it daily or as much as possible. Take it into your very being and understand its meaning. Live it. Walk it. Breathe it. Eat it. Sleep it! If you do this you cannot help but bear much fruit.
Jesus is the vine. John 15:5 says “I am the vine, and you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will bear a great deal of fruit; for you can do nothing without me. Verses 7-8 go on to say “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish, and you shall have it. My Father’s glory is shown by your bearing a lot of fruit; and in this way you become my disciples.”
So go on, get into God’s word and start becoming fruitful for God. The more fruit we bear, the more glory will go to our Heavenly Father! Amen.
PS Our Father in Heaven has chosen us to do great things in the name of Jesus! John 14:12-13 states “I am telling you the truth: those who believe in me will do what I do -– yes, they will do even greater things, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask for in my name, so that the Father’s glory will be shown through the Son. If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it.” Amen.
All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe have guided me as always with these words. Amen.

Relinquishing Your Control
This is what faith is all about. It is about giving over the reins to Jesus and allowing Him to rule over your life and heart. When we willingly and actively entrust our plans and situations to Him we will see much happening within our lives that we could not possibly achieve without Him.
We all like to think and believe that we are in control of what we do with our lives, and to some extent, with the use of our free will given us, this can be somewhat the case in the interim, but the truth is, in the long run, it is God who decides what will occur.
When we realise this, we can stop fighting and pushing against the tide, and begin to move in the direction of what God is doing for us. This actually gives us much freedom! It frees us up to enjoy ourselves more, trusting our Lord to take care of all the details.
It’s kind of like having a ‘Divine Intercessor’, paving the way for His wondrous and exciting adventures that He longs to give us. Hebrews 7:25 AMP says “Therefore He is able to also save to the uttermost (completely, perfectly, finally, and for all time and eternity) those who come to God through Him since He is always living to make petition to God and intercede with Him and intervene for them.”
What a wonderful life we can have, when we allow God to do His mighty works in us and in the lives of those around us. When we become servants of the Lord, a whole new world of opportunity opens up for us. It is when we start asking Him what He wants us to do in our situations, and even in our daily lives, much can and will be achieved through us.
There are many fringe benefits to this way of living. Our lives begin to flow smoothly and we experience more joy in our days. We begin to flourish in all that we do. People see a peace and contentment in us that they cannot put their finger on. Our demeanours become more relaxed as we settle into the ways of the Almighty, all the while trusting Him and giving all our cares to Him.
He sustains us and keeps us on a more balanced footing. He is the rock of the ages! Psalm 31:3 AMP says “Yes, You are my Rock and my Fortress; therefore for Your names sake lead me and guide me.”
Our lives begin to take on new meaning and we reach a certain level of fulfilment in every area of our lives. There is no more questioning this and questioning that; instead we believe that whatever is happening to us is for the betterment of ourselves and our families. In other words, we put our complete trust in God.
When we start living more and more according to the Lord’s will, our will becomes His will, and everything begins to line up and come together to form a brilliant masterpiece. A pattern of reliance is formed that can only be described as complete and utter bliss. Our confidence increases as we become more and more attuned to His ways. Isaiah 55:9 NKJV says “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And my thoughts than your thoughts.”
When you feel compelled to do this or that, or go here or there, you must trust that our Lord is guiding you to a specific task or action. You must do your best to follow His promptings in order to achieve or experience what He has planned for you. If you ignore the prompting and choose to exercise your own free will, you will simply miss out on whatever blessing He has in store. And there are always blessings when we do the work the Lord has set aside for us.
The Lord is a Lord of second chances. He will never give up on you until your last breath! Matthew 28:20 NKJV says “I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
PS Jesus is our shepherd and we are His flock. He will gather us all up into His protective care, and we will hear and recognise His voice when He calls us. John 10:4 NLT says “After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice.”
All glory for these writings goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe anointed me with these words for you today. Amen.

God's Will
The time will come in your Christian walk that you will be called upon to step out in faith and really take a stand believing for a miracle. It might be that you have a troubled marriage, or failing career, lack of financial resources, or perhaps difficulty falling pregnant or even some serious health issue, and you will be required to stand firm in your faith, believing God for His mercy and healing.
There are many promises in the Bible to help and protect you in such times as these. All you need do is to claim them. Sounds simple and easy doesn’t’ it? Not so you might say. When one is confronted with trials and tribulations it is very tempting to give in or simply give up. God does not want you to do this! He wants you to take the bull by the horns (pardon the pun!) and grab a hold of your rights! You need to be adamant that this healing does indeed belong to you because you are one of God’s dear ones. You need to get past all the worry and the fear, and all the ‘so-called’ facts and believe for what the world says is impossible.
Many people spend their lives complaining about their problems rather than doing something about them. They tend to believe only what they see and hear but the truth is that we need to believe in the unseen in order to be blessed. We need to have faith. 2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV says “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” Faith is about believing in what we cannot see and trusting with our hearts and minds that we can have what God has promised for us. Hebrews 11:1 says “To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see.”
When things seem out of control, you must rely on the promises of God to get you through. When believing for our healing, we need to find out what God says about a particular topic, and then apply it to our situation. We then must speak or confess God’s word over whatever is troubling us, and then affirm our faith by thanking God that He is looking after us. We must really believe that it is ours for the taking! Mark 11:24 TNIV says “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
When believing for healing in your troubled marriage, say, it is written in Matthew 19:6 TNIV “So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” When believing for success in your career, say, it is written in Deuteronomy 28:8 “The LORD your God will bless your work and fill your barns with grain.” When believing for financial abundance, say, the scripture says in Psalm 112:3 “His family will be wealthy and rich, and he will be prosperous for ever.” When believing for that pregnancy, say, the Bible says in Psalm 113:9 “He honours the childless wife in her home; he makes her happy by giving her children.” When believing for healing of sickness or infirmity, say, it is written in Psalm 103:3 “He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.”
These are just a few examples of the very many promises of God’s will for you. Believe me when I say that the Bible has many more. God’s word is there for us to study and declare for ourselves, in order that He may fulfil our destinies and His wonderful plans He has for us.
His promises are true, and his word in there to guide us through life. Psalm 119:105 says “Your word is a lamp to guide me and a light for my path.” God’s will for us is to live glorious and successful lives so that we may become a light for others on their paths. He wants us to be the example of what God’s will is for His children.
Be that example of truth for them. This is what is required of you in your walk of faith. Submit to His will by being the living proof that faith in God is indeed rewarded, and you will find yourself living the life of your dreams! What more could we ask for? Amen.
All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit for guiding and instructing me with these words of truth. Amen
PS Isaiah 53:5 NKJV “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.” Healing is our right because Jesus paid the price for it when He was whipped and hung on that cross to die. So then, what are you waiting for? Claim it now for yourself and your loved ones! Amen!
