A Word From God

One of the things that is necessary on this path, is to dream about all the good things that you desire. It is vitally important to have dreams and goals so that you have something to attain. When you dream your dreams, I want you to place Me in the picture, so that I can lead you through the necessary steps to get you to your desired destination on your pathway. When you open your heart and your mind to all the possibilities that are available, I can then work with you in achieving many many wonderful things for your life. If you do not dream, there will be nothing steadfast to hold on to, and you will find yourself sinking in the mire.

I want you, as My precious children, to be able to get to a place where you will be recognising long-held dreams all starting to come alive again. This makes Me very excited to be able to bestow upon My children the deep desires of their hearts. I am a loving Father, who wants nothing but the best for My children, and indeed I like to bless, bless and bless! This is My greatest joy, to be able to bless My people, so that you may know what it’s like to receive from your Father in heaven. Say this with Me now – My Father likes to bless me! My Father likes to bless me! Say it with conviction until you know, beyond any misconceptions about Me, that I am a kind and generous God, who cares about you more than you could possibly know!

Luke 12:6-7 AMP “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And [yet] not one of them is forgotten or uncared for in the presence of God. But [even] the very hairs of your head are all numbered.”

The Power of Prayer

Where 2 or more stand in agreement on anything that they so desire, I will make it happen for them. They must be of one accord, in order that My perfect will can be done through them. Together, and in My name, they shall make their prayer requests known and I shall deliver it to them from the wings of Heaven, just as promised. It is written, Matthew 18:19-20 NKJV “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”

The Bible says that whatever we ask for in Jesus name shall be given to us. John 14:13 -14 NKJV “And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.” Be sure to ask because if we don’t ask for what we want, things tend to happen by default, and we may then miss out on what we want.

Of course, we must ask according to God’s will for us, and not according to lusts and desires of the flesh that do not line up with what God wants for us. James 4:1-3 NKJV “Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.”

So what if we don’t know exactly how or what to pray for, so that we are in line with God’s will? Jesus tells us how to pray. Matthew 6:9-13 NKJV “In this manner, therefore pray:

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and
the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

Matthew 6:14-15 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

The Bible also tells us that we should pray without ceasing, having all the faith that whatever we ask for shall be given to us, and we are to give thanks and be content in our current situations. This way, when the Father sees your heart, that you appreciate all He has given you already, He will reward you accordingly. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NKJV “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

God knows what we need before we even ask Him. All we need to do is ask, and to have the faith that whatever we ask for in faith, will be given to us. God loves you, and this is His will for you. 1 John 5:15 NKJV “And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.”

PS Matthew 6:5-8 NKJV “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.” Amen!

All glory as always for these words goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.


The Lamb of God

God is the ruler of our hearts. He knows what is in our hearts and minds. There is no hiding anything from Him. He knows the true you, and He knows what your capabilities are. He designed you with certain plans in place for your life. He designed you with a greater destiny. Phil 1:6 AMP “And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.”

God gives you the desires in your hearts to achieve certain things. He puts those yearnings right there within you, so that you recognise the path He is leading you on. If you let Him, He will lead you to much greater heights than you could ever achieve on your own. Proverbs 16:3 NKJV “Commit your works to the LORD, And your thoughts will be established.”

When He is leading you, you will find that your life runs very smoothly. Things just seem to fall into place. Isaiah 26:7 “LORD, you make the path smooth for good people, the road they travel is level.”

If you are not following His will for you, you will find that you are unable to stay on the current path you are taking. A sure sign of the wrong path is when things become very unstable around you and nothing seems to work. You keep running into blockages everywhere. This is when you must withdraw for a while, asking the Lord which direction to take. Psalm 73:23-24 NKJV “Nevertheless I am continually with You; You hold me by my right hand, You will guide me with Your counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.”

It is good practice to ask the Lord which direction He would have you take, when you are confronted with any new course of action. This will enable you to receive instruction from the Lord. We are given much freedom in our day to day choices and decisions with so many options confronting us on a daily basis, we must be able to find the right way that pleases God. Proverbs 19:21 NKJV “There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the LORD’S counsel – that will stand.”

There is no need to fear with God on our side. He will lead you and guide you around the many obstacles that can appear on your pathway. As long as we seek Him and His righteousness, then everything we need will be given to us. Matthew 6:33 NKJV “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Amen.

PS Psalm 25:8-10 NKJV “Good and upright is the LORD; Therefore He teaches sinners in the way. The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way. All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.” Amen.

All glory for these words goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Fruit of Thy Lips

Speak forth thy Holy Word and you will find yourself eating from thy table of goodness and abundance. I the Lord have spoken! It is essential on this walk to claim your inheritance and have all your desires fulfilled! It is essential because you are My children and this is what I desire for you. I have only one wish for my children and that is that they receive all that is rightfully theirs! Psalm 128:1-2 “Blessed are all who fear the LORD, who walk in obedience to him. You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.” This is my promise to you.

For those who undeniably walk the walk, and talk the talk, they will have a plenitude of blessings come their way. There is much to be had for those who live to serve in the Kingdom. I will see to it that those who put their trust in Me bear much fruit. They will grow and prosper, not only in their spiritual life but in the area of wealth as well. Jeremiah 17:7-8 “But I will bless the person who puts his trust in Me. He is like a tree growing near a stream and sending out roots to the water. It is not afraid when hot weather comes, because its leaves stay green; it has no worries when there is no rain; it keeps on bearing fruit.”

Even when the circumstances around you may say that there is lack, lack and more lack, you will experience a different story! You will have all your needs met and your will receive some extra benefits and blessings along the way! People will look at you and marvel, ‘How is this so?’ You will be able to tell them that your God is taking care of you. Psalm 23:5-6 “You prepare a banquet for me, where all my enemies can see me; you welcome me as an honoured guest and fill my cup to the brim. I know that your goodness and love will be with me all my life; and your house will be my home as long as I live.”

So, in order to walk the walk, and talk the talk, one must be very careful what they say. It is imperative that you remember to always speak the words that you wish to experience, rather than saying it like it is. The facts may appear to you as though there is no hope in a situation. But My power is great unto you! You can have everything you desire.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread! Be ever so careful and guard your words closely, for they are the path to either life or destruction! Proverbs 18:21 NKJV “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.”

When one considers the multitude of opportunities available to those who commit their lives into My hands, one can then begin to see and experience the miraculous life that can be had. Use the Scripture to create that life. Speak into your situations and desires. That is why it has been given to you; to provide for you the means necessary that you may fulfil your destinies. Psalm 35:27-28 NKJV “Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, ‘Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the properity of His servant.’ And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness And of Your praise all the day long.” Amen.

PS From the time you wake up until the time you retire, let praise and thanksgiving be the song in thy heart and the fruit of thy lips. Psalm 112:1-3 NKJV “PRAISE the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, Who delights greatly in His commandments. His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in his house, And his righteousness endures forever.” Amen.

All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, whom I believe as always, have gifted me with these words today. Amen.

Rejoice and Be Merry!

When the world is telling you that you can’t have this dream, or that dream here’s what you should do. Be happy and praise the Lord your God, because He is about to give you your heart’s desires. Yes that’s right! This is not a misprint!

When we rejoice and give praise to the Lord, He will move mountains for us! You see, God in His mercy wants His children to be strong in their faith, and to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. This act of faith, tells our Father in heaven that we know and understand that He is in control of our situation, and that we believe that He is about to deliver us to our blessings.

It also sends the devil and his cohorts packing. It is written in Philippians 4:4 NKJV “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!” Notice that is says always. We are being told to rejoice always. Not only when things are going right for you, but always. Even, despite the troubles you may have for this will enable the Lord to do His work for you, so that you will have that new car, that promotion, that new job, that baby, that happy marriage, or whatever it is that you’ve been praying for.

Surrender all your troubles to the Lord, and He will come through for you. He wants to see you joyful and happy. He wants you to go through life enjoying the many miracles He has prepared for you. Psalm 68:3 NKJV says “But let the righteous be glad; Let them rejoice before God; Yes, let them rejoice exceedingly.”

God wants us to rejoice exceedingly! Not just a little bit every now and then, but exceedingly! Another word for exceedingly is excessively. That means a lot! Get the picture? God knows something we don’t know, and that is all the wonderful possibilities that He is lining up for us in His grace! If only we could see beyond that curtain, we wouldn’t be able to believe our eyes! We’d be out singing and dancing in the streets!

These possibilities become ours when we surrender to the truth and let our God be the God that is promised to us throughout the Bible. Psalm 118:24 NLT says “This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” We certainly do have a lot to rejoice about, that’s for sure. I bet if you look back on your life, you would see the many blessings He has already given you. Even the things that perhaps seemed like problems to you, eventually all turned out for the best, even though at the time you couldn’t see it.

The Lord knows what is best for His children, and we must trust Him implicitly with our very lives. Psalm 33:21 NKJV says “For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name.” Our Lord would love nothing more than to see us all singing and dancing out in the streets right now and giving praise to His holy name!

If you’re a parent reading this, then you would know how happy your heart is when you see your children being joyful! It makes your heart sing with joy! Imagine then, how happy our Father in heaven is when He sees us rejoicing simply because we love Him and trust that He has got everything sorted! It is written in Psalm 33:1 NKJV “Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous! For praise from the upright is beautiful.” Amen!

All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe gifted me with these words today.

PS One more thing, a merry heart not only cheers our Father in heaven, it serves to create a buffer around you so that when things seem to go wrong, you are better equipped to walk through your days with a smile on your face and trusting the Lord. Proverbs 15:13 NKJV says “But he who is of a merry heart has a continual feast.” Praise the Lord! Amen.



Harmonious Living

In times such as these, one must rekindle in their hearts and minds, a passion for overcoming the burdens of living. Trials and tribulations are as natural as the day turning to night. It is said that in this life there will be many difficulties and that we must be of good cheer, giving thanks in all that we do, and for all that we have. With this frame of mind, we will be able to endure much suffering in the name of Christ our Lord and Saviour. It is written in 1 Peter 4:16 “However, if you suffer because you are a Christian, don’t be ashamed of it, but thank God that you bear Christ’s name!”

Many burdens can be lifted and carried away simply by casting them onto Jesus. Psalm 68:19 says “Praise the Lord, who carries our burdens day after day; he is the God who saves us.” When we do this, it gives Him permission to ease our troubles, and to even turn them around for our good. How’s that for easy living! He can turn discord into a harmonious melody that we simply could not imagine ourselves. 1 Corinthians 2:9 TNIV says ‘However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived – these things God has prepared for those who love him”.

When one gets into the habit of doing this with all their troubles, it creates a pattern of giving and receiving in our lives, kind of like a divine transaction if you may, and is worth more than all the gold in the world. It becomes a partnership between the human and the Divine.

Consider this: when trouble strikes, there is no panic, just a simple prayer of thanks offered up to the Lord, and then a release of the issue into the Lord’s very capable hands. Then wait for it – problem solved! Yes that’s right. Your problem will be solved.

Our Lord has the answers to every problem before the problem even occurs! It may not be resolved in quite the way you would like or perhaps not in the time frame that you would wish for; however, nonetheless it will be resolved according to His divine wisdom of what is required for the particular situation to become a blessing for you and for those around you. What a wonderful feeling knowing that we are being taken care of for all of our lives. Isaiah 46:4 says “I am your God and will take care of you until you are old and your hair is grey.”

Misfortune can be viewed as an attempt from the enemy to undermine all of the good you’ve got going in your lives. You see, the Devil doesn’t like it when you succeed and are happy. He would like nothing more than to sabotage your plans and the plans God has for you and your family. And it doesn’t stop there. He will fight against you to try and mess everything up.

When we ask Jesus to help and to even take over for us, this, in itself, puts a stop to Satan’s plans. He has no power against the mighty name of Jesus. When you commit your life to Jesus, you become His precious child. He has already paid for you by His blood that was shed on the cross at Calvary, and has chosen you before you were born, to be His. It is written in 1 Corinthians 6:20 NKJV “For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” This is good news isn’t it!

Don’t think that you won’t ever run into trouble because that is an inevitable part of living here in this broken world, but have faith that things can and will be put right by the one who loves you the most, and that is Jesus. You need not ever fear, because you’re not alone. He is always there at the ready, waiting for you to come to Him with whatever your heart desires. He is waiting for you to reach out to Him, giving to Him all your troubles. This promise is given to us in Matthew 7:7-8 NKJV 7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”

Jesus is always there, walking with us, and even carrying us through the really tough situations. When you come out the other side, you will look back and think to yourself, ‘wow – how did I get here? I could not have done this alone!’ That’s because we are never alone. We always have our best friend Jesus with us, through thick and thin, through the good times and the bad, and He will see to it that you receive all that is intended for you and your family. All we need do is ask! Praise God! All glory goes to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit whom I believe as always, have gifted me with these words today. Amen.

PS Psalm 95:6-7 6 “Come, let us bow down and worship him; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! 7 “He is our God; we are the people he cares for, the flock for which he provides.” Amen!
