He Glorifies Jesus

The Spirit Of The Lord

4. He Speaks About Jesus and Glorifies Him

The Holy Spirit who reveals the truth about God glorifies Jesus. Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will speak about Him. This means that anyone who claims to work with the Holy Spirit must glorify Jesus .

If we go through the Scriptures, we will see that Jesus is referred to as the way, the word, truth, life, glory, power, mercy, resurrection, light, wisdom, grace. These are all spiritual qualities. When the Bible refers to God as the father of mercies, grace, glory, light etc it means that God is the source, author and only giver of mercy, Life, grace, wisdom etc

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit that will always glorify the word of God, the truth of God, the wisdom of God, the mercy of God, the grace of God, the way of God and the power of God.

The mercy of God is the death of Jesus on the cross. The Holy Spirit will always magnify, speak about and exalt the death of Jesus on the cross as the only sacrifice and way into the mercy of God.

The Holy Spirit will magnify God as the only way to life and will never present alternatives that contradict the word of God. The Holy Spirit will magnify the Power of God and not encourage man to depend on himself, others or demon idols. The arm of flesh fails man.

This is what the LORD says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the LORD. Jeremiah 17:5

This Scripture is not referring to man as only relying on others, when you rely on yourself and refuse to depend on God’s power and mercy, you defeat yourself. The word of God said so, not me. The truth is that if man could save, there won’t be people with terminal illnesses.

Someone might says, “hey Laura, I depended on myself and my efforts to pass many though exams and obtain a great job and build a large business empire.” Ok, I get that but what of when you develop a terminal illness and the doctor fails? Is that not evidence that man does not have power? Power belongs to God alone and it is only the Holy Spirit that glorifies the power of God and teaches us to depend on God’s power instead of the flesh or demon idols.

Any other teaching you hear out there telling you how great and powerful man is, is a lying and deceptive spirit. The false teachers are mostly wealthy because the devil has given them wealth to deceive.

Do not be deceived and think that because the teacher of a false doctrine is rich so you will be rich by believing in his misleading teachings. It is all the more you look, the less you see. It is a big scam. It is all about scammers catching and scamming the impure.

He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away. Job 5:13

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness”; 1 Corinthians 3:19

I know someone who believes in The Secret and the Law of Attraction. I warned him by telling him that it does not work. The teachers are wealthy but the followers are misled. So many people I know who believe it kept believing it and some died poor and sick and never benefited from the law of attraction.

I said to him, “ It works for those who have powers or demons in their aura. When they confess, it comes to pass because the powers bring the confessions to reality – simple. It is power that matters in life, the mind is limited in it’s ability. It is only power that can enable a man to confess and it will come to pass not wishful thinking in the mind.

Another acquaintance of mine confessed to me that when she started reading ’The Secret’ all the time she always wished things and those things came to pass. She said to me, “it’s magic and I was so scared.” I said to her,  ’you must have some powerful family idols,’ and she told me that I must be right because all her life she always wished things and saw results except that ability became very pronounced when she started reading The Secret.

She said she was so sacred that she threw the book away. It worked for her because she already had demons in her aura. The secret just taught her how to tap deeper into the demons. Others practised ’The Secret’ and it did not work because they were clean and had no demon idols in their aura. It is also possible that some end up possessed by reading the book and some don’t. That is why it works for some people and fails others. However, the percentage of people it works for is very small.

We must be very careful. Power belongs to God alone. Christians who practice magic have deserted Jesus for harlotry. Any Spirit and teaching that does not glorify the power of God and the blood of Jesus is not the Holy Spirit. It is only the Holy Spirit that glorifies and speaks of Jesus, the power and wisdom of God.

So let us be mindful of all sorts of false doctrines out there and only listen to the one that glorifies Jesus.

But to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 1 Corinthians 1:24

He will give me glory, because he will take what I say and tell it to you. John 16:14

The Helper will come—the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God and who comes from the Father. I will send him to you from the Father, and he will speak about me. John 15:26

He Prays For Us

Bible, Christian Faith, Holy Spirit, Home, Inspirational, Scripture
He Prays For Us

The Spirit Of The Lord

3. Prays For Us

The Holy Spirit prays for us. Isn’t that amazing? The best prayer is the prayer that the Holy Spirit prays for us and the best prayer point is the one given to us by the Holy Spirit. The reason is because, the Holy Spirit is the only one who knows the root cause of our problems and afflictions. He is also the only one who knows the solutions to our problems and needs, and the way to that solution.

He understands our needs, and the mind of God perfectly. When He prays, He prays for us, in line with God’s will, and purpose as one who has perfect knowledge of God. When He gives us prayer points, He does so as one who knows exactly what we should pray for. Some people spend so much time beating around the bush, praying so many off point and irrelevant prayers.

In the same way the Spirit also comes to help us, weak as we are. For we do not know how we ought to pray; the Spirit himself pleads with God for us in groans that words cannot express. Romans 8:26

And God, who sees into our hearts, knows what the thought of the Spirit is; because the Spirit pleads with God on behalf of his people and in accordance with his will. Romans 8:27

They carry books with one thousand prayer points. Come on, I don’t understand that mentality and the logic behind that. One prayer point point from the Holy Spirit is better than a million meaningless prayer points. The prayer given by the Holy Spirit goes straight to the target, the solution and the root of the problem.

If we study the way Jesus prayed for Himself, the sick and ministered to people, He did not waste unnecessary time talking about the problem. He just went straight to the target with full knowledge of the cause and solution of the problem.

He went ahead and cast out the demons and healed. He was not beating around the bush in confusion. That is because, He was constantly led by the Spirit Of God. Those who are led by the Spirit Of God, are the sons of God.

Without counsel and direction, we will grope around in the darkness, in confusion regarding prayer. But when the Holy Spirit prays for us and gives us prayer points, we will never pray amiss because the prayer is relevant to our problems, needs and solutions.

Disastrous Lie

Bible, Christian Faith, Holy Spirit, Home, Inspirational, Sin
Disastrous Lie

The Spirit Of The Lord 

2. The Holy Ghost can be lied to

Some lies are definitely disastrous. When a man lies to God, in the manifest presence of God, what can he expect? Instant Judgement. In the case of Ananias and his wife, they got the death penalty. Peter decreed the mind of God on them.

Men can make decrees but if that decree is not the mind of God, and the judgement is not of God, it is a futile decree. Peter decreed death and it came to pass because the Lord had decreed it.

Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it? Lamentations 3:37

Lies are very bad – so bad that the devil is called a lair and the father of lies. Lying is human nature and even children lie. Most of the time, people lie to cover up crime or evil but people also lie to deceive, defraud and cheat.

Ananias lied to cover up His disobedience. If he had owned up and been repentant, he could have saved his own life but he chose to lie to God, in the presence of God.

But there was a man named Ananias, who with his wife Sapphira sold some property that belonged to them. 2 But with his wife’s agreement he kept part of the money for himself and turned the rest over to the apostles. 3 Peter said to him, “Ananias, why did you let Satan take control of you and make you lie to the Holy Spirit by keeping part of the money you received for the property? 4 Before you sold the property, it belonged to you; and after you sold it, the money was yours. Why, then, did you decide to do such a thing? You have not lied to people—you have lied to God!” 5 As soon as Ananias heard this, he fell down dead; and all who heard about it were terrified. Acts 5:1-5

Ananias lied because of greed. The believers were all of one mind and body and none of them claimed their belongings to themselves but they shared with one another, everything they had.  What a powerful love! No wonder there was so much power and manifestations of the Holy Spirit. They were in one accord with the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of love.

There was no one in need among them. Can we see how far the church has deviated from love and fallen. If you are in the same church with someone and you live in a mansion of fifty million dollars while a fellow brethren begs on the streets to eat, will you call that love?

That is simply lip service and false Christianity, charity begins at home and it is the responsibility of church pastors to help the needy in their local church.

With great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God poured rich blessings on them all. 34 There was no one in the group who was in need. Those who owned fields or houses would sell them, bring the money received from the sale, 35 and turn it over to the apostles; and the money was distributed according to the needs of the people. Acts 4:33

Lying is so inherently evil that no man likes to be lied to. Lying destroys trust and anyone who discovers that he is being lied to hates it. Lying destroys and ruins relationships because a lot of people feel betrayed by lies.

People sometimes lie to save their lives but lying is simply not good. God has commanded us not to lie so we must pray not to enter temptation, especially the temptation of lying to save our necks like Abraham in his case with Abimelech.

Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah (Genesis 20:2 NKJV)

No matter how tempting it is, we must fear God and trust Him to protect us and provide for us. Ananias did not trust God to provide for him and replenish the offering he was giving God, so he kept a part of it and lied. Abraham did not trust God to protect him and his family so he lied, and said Sarah was his sister instead of his wife.

Then Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you have in view, that you have done this thing?” (Genesis 20:10 NKJV)

And Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will kill me on account of my wife. (Genesis 20:11 NKJV)

Ananias lied out of greed in the presence of God. The disaster in his own crime is that the Holy Ghost was present when He lied, so he did not lie to man but to God – how terrible.

Before you sold the property, it belonged to you; and after you sold it, the money was yours. Why, then, did you decide to do such a thing? You have not lied to people—you have lied to God!” Acts 5:4

May God Himself, protect us from temptations, including unnecessary and necessary lies. However, temptations and tests do come, and we must determine in advance that we will obey God.

Ananias and his wife fell into disastrous lie, and died. May God give us the grace to fear Him and always obey Him.

Effective Ministry

Effective Ministry

img_7891

 

The Spirit Of The Lord

When the Holy Spirit came upon Mary, she became pregnant. The Holy Spirit upon signifies and connotes power and glory. When the Holy Spirit comes upon someone, the tangible manifest presence of God becomes present and visible. If your spiritual eyes are opened you will see His glory and evidence of His Holy Presence and Aura. The Holy Spirit‘s power turns you into a different man.

The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and God’s power will rest upon you. For this reason the holy child will be called the Son of God. Luke 1 :35

When He takes control, He gives you the ability to do His works and manifest Himself . He is the rescuer and makes men rescuers.

But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8

I will go through all the works and acts of the Holy Spirit for many days. Today, I will talk about His power to enable us begin and sustain ministry and discuss His other acts in subsequent days.

Power To Begin Ministry

The Holy Spirit starts His ministry through us by His power. Starting a ministry is not a joke, a gamble or an experiment. It is as a result of divine appointment and assignment. It is a gift from God and the gifts and callings Of God are irrevocable. He helps and empowers us to start ministry.

Saul was anointed before he became King, David was anointed and Paul was chosen and anointed for ministry. If we go through the Bible, we will see that the prophets and ministers were either anointed by a prophet or had direct encounters with God that anointed them for ministry. Moses had a direct encounter with God .

[ Jesus Begins His Work in Galilee ] Then Jesus returned to Galilee, and the power of the Holy Spirit was with him. The news about His spread throughout all that territory. Luke 4:14

how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. Acts 10:38

Man is powerless and weak without the power of God. Doing exploits and doing ministry works require power. Jesus had the power of God and kept functioning with the power of God. He never moved outside the Holy Spirit. There was complete unity of mind and purpose. He recognised the role of the Holy Spirit in His ministry.

Jesus had the Power Of The the Holy Spirit upon Him before He could manifest the works of His father. The presence of the Lord was available for Jesus to heal. If the son of God needed the power of God, we also need the power of God.

One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick. Luke 5:17

Without the Spirit of the Lord, we cannot start or sustain an effective ministry – we can start, but we won’t be fruitful like Jesus. We need the Holy Spirit upon us to be successful ministers. May we always seek the face of God and give His Spirit the rightful place in our ministry.

If Only

Bible, Christian Faith, Holiness, Home, Inspirational, Repentance, Righteousness, Sin
If Only

““

Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honour. (Romans 12:10 ESV)

What a glorious Scripture. Outdo one another in showing honour. It is actually worth it for us to pause and meditate deeply on this wonderful word from the mouth of God. If only love can rule in our midst. If only the earth was perfect and everyone simply loves everyone with great and perfect love.

If only man behaved more like man and less like the lesser beings. Honestly, where will the heartache and pain come from. If only man knew how to love and outdo one another in showing love, there would be no evil on earth and no sin to attract judgement.

Man is the destroyer, it is man that destroys the earth and it is only man that can decide to be more loving towards man and more obedient to God.

As long as man refuses to love his fellow man and not submit to God, the devil will still have a wild day on earth. It is man that attracts the devil. Man fellowships with evil and sin and attracts judgemental to this earth.

The only solution to this, is for man to separate himself from evil, be submissive to God in humility and wait for a better kingdom where love rules. I wonder if the idolaters, sorcerers, racists, rapists, robbers and the hardened wicked are looking forward to a better world and kingdom where love rules.

Is it really possible to look forward to a kingdom of love when you have buried yourself in evil and wickedness? If evil, unrepentant men had a way of breaking into heaven to pollute it with their selfishness, greed and evil, they will.

If the unrepentant were allowed into heaven to continue their evil, the same unrepentant will make heaven imperfect and start criticising God as ‘atheists inside Heaven’- God forbid. They are never capable of looking inwards to realise that the problem is with man not God. Thankfully, it is only the repentant that will be in heaven. The spoilers and destroyers who love to glorify and praise sin will not have access to our pure and Holy City. Praise God.

But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie (Revelation 22:15 NKJV)

Love must be completely sincere, if our motive for doing anything including giving away everything we have and our bodies to be burnt is not pure, then we are sincerely wrong. We must never show off or parade ourselves as the holiest of all just to be praised by men.

I may give away everything I have, and even give up my body to be burned—but if I have no love, this does me no good. 1 Corinthians 13:3

I must emphasise that we cannot build on a foolish and evil foundation. Some idol worshippers that I know parade themselves as the most loving people, yet they belong to religions that depend on priests who offer human blood and blessings to demons.

A lot of people cannot discern between good and evil. They see evil and call it good and see good and call it evil. It takes spiritual wisdom to know right from wrong and please God.

But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. Hebrews 5:14

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James 1:5

The Lord gave me some specific instructions. He told me to denounce idol worship and sin and I pray for grace to pass this message across effectively. It is impossible to talk about love without mentioning the greatest crime against humanity and the principle of love.

In this great spiritual crime, innocent victims pay for the sins of others. Idol worship is so evil that anyone who is able to see its true face will shudder with disgust. It is the abomination of abominations – the head, king and ruler of all abominations and evil.

Some years ago, the Lord took me in a vision and said to me, “ I am not the one destroying the earth. Human priests are the ones destroying the earth by constantly offering human blood to the devil in an attempt to play God and save.” Human priests are the biggest destroyers, and the beneficiaries and members of false religion are their accomplices in great spiritual crimes.

Any love or good deed that does not have the blood of Jesus as its foundation is just plain vainglory. If you are a beneficiary of a religion that sacrifices to demon idols and you are in turn trying to help the victims of that religion or other religions that secretly destroyed them, how good are you?

The worst person in the good religion founded on the blood of Jesus is better than the holiest person in a false religion founded on idol worship and human blood and suffering. So, anyone who wants to love must flee idol worship which is the biggest destroyer and offence to love.

After separating yourself from being a partaker of destruction, then you can love sincerely. It is weird to claim to love, yet worship destructive demon idols. I am certainly not impressed by any so called good deeds and show off of an idol worshipper.

Idol worship is the number one destroyer on earth and I cannot talk above love and not warn against idol worship. The good deeds of an idol worshipper can never take him to heaven. He has been defiled and polluted with human blood knowingly or unknowingly. The foundation of that good deed is already stained and tainted.

Whoever does not love the Lord—a curse on him! Marana tha—Our Lord, come! 1 Corinthians 1:22

Paul pronounced a curse on anyone who does not love the Lord. Anyone one who does not love the Lord loves death and worships death. It is all one great deception. There is only one God. Imaginary idols are the different faces of death.

So then, about eating the food offered to idols: we know that an idol stands for something that does not really exist; we know that there is only the one God. 1 Corinthians 8:4

A long time ago the Lord, I was in a trance and millions of people were chanting Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary. Then all of a sudden, my ears were opened and the Hail Mary chant changed to Hail Lucifer, Hail Lucifer, Hail Lucifer. That is death being praised. The people have been deceived to believe they are hailing Mary but in spiritual reality they are hailing death, hell, the grave and disobedience.

The Mary they are hailing, whom they have given the attributes of God to, is not the mother of Jesus, but an imaginary Mary. It’s all in the head and manufactured by unbelieving men. They rejected the word of God and outside God, lives death.

There are only two forces on earth. Life and death. If you refuse God who is life, including the laws of life stipulated in the Bible, all you have left is worship of death, even when you don’t know it. Someone can be sincere but sincerely wrong.

Preaching the good news and denouncing idol worship and sin is a service of love. My revelation is not to grieve anyone but out of love to open blind eyes unto salvation. Love is my motive. It is important for people to realise that the message we preach is a battle against death and hell no matter how annoying or irritating it may sound to those who are sincerely wrong.

So we urged Titus, who began this work, to continue it and help you complete this special service of love. 2 Corinthians 8:6

We the believers must keep working out our own salvation and keep loving and outdoing others in showing love. We must rely on God’s grace and never give up on our hope of salvation. As citizens of heaven, there is a glorious day and morning for us all when we will live in the city of love.

There, we will dwell in perfect love and constantly taste the love of God. There, the air and oxygen will be love. We will wear garments of love and constantly show and receive love. Love rules in that Kingdom, so we must keep showing love here on earth as citizens of love.

For you know what was paid to set you free from the worthless manner of life handed down by your ancestors. It was not something that can be destroyed, such as silver or gold; 19 it was the costly sacrifice of Christ, who was like a lamb without defect or flaw. 1 Peter 1:18

May we never be sincere, but sincerely wrong. May God enable and strengthen us to love others deeply. May we flee idolatry in Jesus name. May we become champions of love and outdo one another in showing and practising love under the foundation of the blood of Jesus, and His sacrificial death on the cross that set us free from useless ways of life.

 

 

More Scriptures On Love

 

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your friends, hate your enemies.’ But now I tell you: love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,  so that you may become the children of your Father in heaven.

If we love others, we live in the light, and so there is nothing in us that will cause someone else to sin. 1 John 2:10

Here is the clear difference between God’s children and the Devil’s children: those who do not do what is right or do not love others are not God’s children. 1 John 3:10

The message you heard from the very beginning is this: we must love one another. 1 John 3:11

We know that we have left death and come over into life; we know it because we love others. Those who do not love are still under the power of death. 1 John 3:14

If we are rich and see others in need, yet close our hearts against them, how can we claim that we love God? 1 John 3:17

My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action. 1 John 3:18

What he commands is that we believe in his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as Christ commanded us. 1 John 3:23

Dear friends, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7

Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love. 1 John 4:8

Dear friends, if this is how God loved us, then we should love one another. 1 John 4:11

No one has ever seen God, but if we love one another, God lives in union with us, and his love is made perfect in us. 1 John 4:12

And we ourselves know and believe the love which God has for us. God is love, and those who live in love live in union with God and God lives in union with them. 1 John 4:16

There is no fear in love; perfect love drives out all fear. So then, love has not been made perfect in anyone who is afraid, because fear has to do with punishment. 1 John 4:18

We love because God first loved us. 1 John 4:19

If we say we love God, but hate others, we are liars. For we cannot love God, whom we have not seen, if we do not love others, whom we have seen. 1 John 4:20

The command that Christ has given us is this: whoever loves God must love others also. 1 John 4:21

This is how we know that we love God’s children: it is by loving God and obeying his commands. 1 John 5:2

And so I ask you, dear Lady: let us all love one another. This is no new command I am writing you; it is the command which we have had from the beginning. 2 John 1:5

This love I speak of means that we must live in obedience to God’s commands. The command, as you have all heard from the beginning, is that you must all live in love. 2 John 1:6

Smile Once Again

Bible, Christian Faith, Home, Inspirational, Intimacy, Poems, Relationship
Smile Once Again


Smile once again

For me

And my glory.


Child of destiny,

I remember when you

Were so happy

And so secure

Enjoying beauty and grace.

 

You were dazzling and lovely,

Decorated and crowned,

Swirling in the arms of love and mercy

Dancing with Angels

Eating with me.

 

Yes,

You ate at my chest

In my inner chamber

And courts

And I fed you with golden love

And drips of honey mixed with

Tender mercy and loving kindness.

 

Love overpowered you

And you called me darling

And sweetheart

As we became one

In worship.

 

You inhaled my breath

And became intoxicated with my

Fragrance and glory.

 

You danced for me

And never stopped

Because I was your joy

And constant delight.

 

I watched you dance and dance

And your dance of glory

Pleased me greatly.

 

Your new name became

Cherished

Treasured

And beloved

 

You never stopped muttering

Words of love and worship

To me

Your bridegroom and beloved.


What happened my child?

What happened?

You fell and lost touch

With my glorious presence.


There you are,

Sitting in the mud

By the village square

With your left hand

On your chin.

 

In your eyes

Your sorrow shows.

 

You are

Unhappy and defeated

Lost and tired.

 

I see you

Sighing and confused

Longing and dreaming

Wishing and hoping

For the treasures that

You lost.

 

Your face has a constant deep frown

Masked with dejection.

Your tears are blood and sorrow

And your gown is stained, rumpled and grey.

 

You lost your sparkling embroidered

White garment 

And it seems like

All hope of finding it

Is gone.

 

Your make up is dust and ashes

You look rejected

And dejected

Lacking in luster

And beauty.

 

All who pass by you

Wonder at your calamity

Of beauty to ashes.

 

They shake their heads

In great amazement

And disbelief.


My beloved,

Rise up from that mud

And dirt

And shine once again.

 

Reconnect with me.

Start digging again,

And watch the biggest smile

Take over your face.


Smile once again,

My love

Smile for me

And my father

Because you are

Greatly loved and treasured.

Blessed From The Womb

Bible, Christian Faith, Holy Spirit, Home, Inspirational, Power, Scripture
Blessed From The Womb

For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. (Luke 1:15 NKJV)

A lot of Christians struggle so hard to be filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is in every believer but every believer is not filled with the Holy Spirit. The Bible talks about being filled with the Holy Spirit, being led by the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit upon and the Holy Spirit with a believer.

Do not get drunk with wine, which will only ruin you; instead, be filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5::18

The prophets of the Old Testament had the Holy Spirit. Remember Joseph and Daniel. Who gave them abilities to interpret dreams and see visions? The Holy Spirit did. The Holy Spirit in John made Him a great prophet and he was great in the sight of God. This same John told us that we will be baptised with the Holy Spirit and fire.

I baptise you with water to show that you have repented, but the one who will come after me will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire. He is much greater than I am; and I am not good enough even to carry his sandals. Matthew 3:1

A lot of people struggle to be filled with the Holy Spirit but John was filled with the Holy Spirit from the womb. This shows that being filled with the Holy Spirit is a gift and a promise. It is not for the unclean and idol worshippers. John’s parents were clean and God chose them to give birth to John. We can see that our bloodline is very important in life. We need to lay good foundations for our children.

Bad foundation of idol worship can make an innocent child to be filled with evil spirits from the womb – poor child. He will come into this life battling and wresting with giants simply because His parents were disobedient and not wise. As for John, he came into this world blessed. There is no greater blessing than the blessing and favour of being filled with the Holy Spirit.

A person that is born filled with evil spirits usually experiences fear, torture, hardship, failure, difficulties and illnesses while a person that is filled with the Holy Spirit will experience love, joy, peace, and all the fruits of the Holy Spirit. He will manifest the gifts of the Holy Spirit and be healthy because the Holy Spirit gives life. Anyone who is consistently filled with the Holy Spirit will experience the fruits of life not the fruits of death.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Galatians 5:22 – 5:23 NKJV)

The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you–they are full of the Spirit and life. John 6:63

it is he who made us capable of serving the new covenant, which consists not of a written law but of the Spirit. The written law brings death, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:6

All of us, then, reflect the glory of the Lord with uncovered faces; and that same glory, coming from the Lord, who is the Spirit, transforms us into his likeness in an ever greater degree of glory. 2 Corinthians 3:18

And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. Romans 8:11

So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:45

We can learn from the example of John to keep our bloodline pure and Holy so that our children do not inherit demon idols, evil spirits and afflictions. We can also determine within ourselves to run into the blood of Jesus for cleansing power. Regardless of the how many demons or afflictions that we inherited from polluted bloodline, the blood of Jesus and the Holy Ghost power is greater.

The Bible says that we are blessed in Christ Jesus. All we need is to activate the power of God through the blood of Jesus and the fullness of the Holy Spirit. We do this by seeking the face of God and waiting upon Him. Once that happens, and we persist, our spirits and aura will become cleansed and we will experience liberty and freedom.

The blood of Jesus is powerful and active – stronger than any and every affliction. May we taste Him and drink Him like the Israelites. When His glory appears, we will be filled by Him like John the Baptist.



Further Scriptures

And drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. 1 Corinthians 10:4

Peter said to him, “Ananias, why did you let Satan take control of you and make you lie to the Holy Spirit by keeping part of the money you received for the property? Acts 5:3

We are witnesses to these things—we and the Holy Spirit, who is God’s gift to those who obey him.” Acts 5:32

So then, friends, choose seven men among you who are known to be full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, and we will put them in charge of this matter. Acts 6:3

The whole group was pleased with the apostles’ proposal, so they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a Gentile from Antioch who had earlier been converted to Judaism. Acts 6:5

“How stubborn you are!” Stephen went on to say. “How heathen your hearts, how deaf you are to God’s message! You are just like your ancestors: you too have always resisted the Holy Spirit! Acts 7:51

But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw God’s glory and Jesus standing at the right side of God. Acts 7:55

When they arrived, they prayed for the believers that they might receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:15

For the Holy Spirit had not yet come down on any of them; they had only been baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 8:16

Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:17

The Holy Spirit said to Philip, “Go over to that carriage and stay close to it.” Acts 8:29

So Ananias went, entered the house where Saul was, and placed his hands on him. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord has sent me—Jesus himself, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here. He sent me so that you might see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Acts 9:17

And so it was that the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had a time of peace. Through the help of the Holy Spirit it was strengthened and grew in numbers, as it lived in reverence for the Lord. Acts 9:31

You know about Jesus of Nazareth and how God poured out on him the Holy Spirit and power. He went everywhere, doing good and healing all who were under the power of the Devil, for God was with him. Acts 10:38

While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit came down on all those who were listening to his message. Acts 10:44

The Jewish believers who had come from Joppa with Peter were amazed that God had poured out his gift of the Holy Spirit on the Gentiles also. Acts 10:45

“These people have received the Holy Spirit, just as we also did. Can anyone, then, stop them from being baptised with water?” Acts 10:47

And when I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came down on them just as on us at the beginning. Acts 11:15

Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptised with water, but you will be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’ Acts 11:16

Barnabas was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and many people were brought to the Lord. Acts 11:24

While they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said to them, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to do the work to which I have called them.” Acts 13:2

[ In Cyprus ] Having been sent by the Holy Spirit, Barnabas and Saul went to Seleucia and sailed from there to the island of Cyprus. Acts 13:4

Then Saul—also known as Paul—was filled with the Holy Spirit; he looked straight at the magician Acts 13:9

The believers in Antioch were full of joy and the Holy Spirit. Acts 13:52

And God, who knows the thoughts of everyone, showed his approval of the Gentiles by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he had to us. Acts 15:8

The Holy Spirit and we have agreed not to put any other burden on you besides these necessary rules: Acts 15:28

[ In Troas: Paul’s Vision ] They travelled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia because the Holy Spirit did not let them preach the message in the province of Asia. Acts 16:6

and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you became believers?” “We have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit,” they answered. Acts 19:2

Paul placed his hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came upon them; they spoke in strange tongues and also proclaimed God’s message. Acts 19:6

And now, in obedience to the Holy Spirit I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. Acts 20:22

I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit has warned me that prison and troubles wait for me. Acts 20:23

So keep watch over yourselves and over all the flock which the Holy Spirit has placed in your care. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he made his own through the blood of his Son. Acts 20:28

He came to us, took Paul’s belt, tied up his own feet and hands with it, and said, “This is what the Holy Spirit says: The owner of this belt will be tied up in this way by the Jews in Jerusalem, and they will hand him over to the Gentiles.” Acts 21:18

So they left, disagreeing among themselves, after Paul had said this one thing: “How well the Holy Spirit spoke through the prophet Isaiah to your ancestors! Acts 28:25

For God’s Kingdom is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of the righteousness, peace, and joy which the Holy Spirit gives. Romans 14:17

May God, the source of hope, fill you with all joy and peace by means of your faith in him, so that your hope will continue to grow by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13

As A Dream

As A Dream

img_7874As a dream when one awakes, So, Lord, when You awake, You shall despise their image. (Psalm 73:20 NKJV)

The word of God says clearly that God will despise the image of the wicked. This psalm talks about the destiny of the wicked. A troubled righteous man seems perplexed at the prosperity and success of the wicked. Lamenting and troubled, he pours out his confusion to God in holy communication.

Therefore pride serves as their necklace; Violence covers them like a garment(Psalm 73:6 NKJV)

Their eyes bulge with abundance; They have more than heart could wish. They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression; They speak loftily. They set their mouth against the heavens (Psalm 73:7 – 73:9 NKJV)

A lot of the righteous are in this man’s shoes and state of mind. How many times have we wondered at the lifestyle and prosperity of the wicked. We see people who openly despise and scorn God and holiness, walk around with every kind of blessing – wealth, health, children, spouses, fame power, name it. They seem very happy and blessed, and men praise and celebrate them.

Though while they live they count themselves blessed– and people praise you when you prosper–Psalm 49:18

That is why they are called celebrities – celebrated people. They are worshipped and adored, and they are the darlings of the world. Of course, the world would love them as it’s own – they belong to the world. They follow the patterns and practices of the world. The world system has its own ways and pattern of thinking, different from the way of thinking of the righteous.

He will turn disobedient people back to the way of thinking of the righteous; he will get the Lord’s people ready for him.” Luke 1:17

God showed the psalmist the destiny of the wicked and he became calm. Holiness and righteousness require great sacrifice and discomfort. It is like a cross, that is why Jesus said we should carry our cross and follow Him. Initially, it seems like a burden but after a while, when your love for God is matured, it becomes a delight to actually do difficult things for God.

We forsake the pleasures of sin, and the world to become lovers of God, and sometimes it seems like there is no reward. That is faith. It is the substance of the unseen, like the unseen reward. We just believe every word of God without proof of reward.

We simply believe that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him even when we do not see the reward. Hebrew eleven lists some heroes of faith and one distinctive mark some of them had is that they were great pleasers of God and they worked righteousness.

For I was envious of the boastful, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked. (Psalm 73:3 NKJV) 

A lot of the righteous are also perplexed at the way that they don’t see any difference in terms of success and prosperity between the righteous and the unrighteous. Don’t forget that the devil is also called the deceiver. People also make covenants with sin and the devil.

Some unbelievers defer their punishments till after their deaths and they keep bribing the devil with human blood and blessings, however God is not mocked or deceived. He sees all and is much smarter than the devil worshippers.  It is God Himself that permits them to be blessed just like He permitted adulterous Israel to be blessed and they praised their idols. All power belongs to Jesus.

At the end God’s purpose will prevail, and the unbelieving will realise too late that the God they mocked and despised so much, is the only God and judge, and nothing can happen outside His permission. The wicked cannot even get blessed without His permission. He even permits evil men to be deceived just as Ahab was deceived by a lying spirit through a false prophet. At that time all men will be forced to confess that He alone is God.

Your laws endure to this day, for all things serve you. Psalm 119:91

One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: “Power belongs to you, God, psalm 62:11

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Mathew 28:18

And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, Ephesians 1:22

who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself. (Philippians 3:21 NKJV)

who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand–with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him. 1 Peter 3:22

I am the living one! I was dead, but now I am alive forever and ever. I have authority over death and the world of the dead. Revelation 1:18

For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living. Romans 14:9

And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!” (Revelation 5:13 NKJV)

You say you have faith, for you believe that there is one God. Good for you! Even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror. James 2:19

Even the creatures under the earth worshipped God – those creatures are certainly not Angels. The demons believe in only one God and tremble. Recall that all authority and power belongs to God, and everything is subject to Him, except human will power. For human will power, we must consciously give our wills to God, because He will not take it by force or deception.

The devil however, takes the human will captive by force, deception and fear. He is the god of this world, and he rewards his followers unto destruction, and their final destination is guaranteed as complete destruction.

The psalmist thought that the evil men were getting away with their evil and enjoying while he was just worshipping God in vain. May we never think we are worshipping God in vain.

God, however, being the gracious person that He is saw his dilemma and showed him the destiny of the wicked.

Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, And washed my hands in innocence. (Psalm 73:13 NKJV)

When I thought how to understand this, It was too painful for me – Until I went into the sanctuary of God; Then I understood their end. Psalm 73:17

Surely You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction. Oh, how they are brought to desolation,  (Psalm 73:16 – 73:19 NKJV)

Brethren, let us focus on doing good and never get weary or worry about the wicked. Our focus must be on the word of God, so that we do not get tired and discouraged. It is this discouragement and deception of thinking that there is gain and pleasure in sin, and there is no gain in holiness, that makes men draw back and stop following Christ.

For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. (Hebrews 12:3 NKJV)

May God’s grace be with us until we be behold Him face to face here, and in Heaven.

 

 

 

More Scriptures

Micaiah went on: “Now listen to what the Lord says! I saw the Lord sitting on his throne in heaven, with all his angels standing beside him. 20 The Lord asked, ‘Who will deceive Ahab so that he will go and be killed at Ramoth?’ Some of the angels said one thing, and others said something else, 21 until a spirit stepped forward, approached the Lord, and said, ‘I will deceive him.’ 22 ‘How?’ the Lord asked. The spirit replied, ‘I will go and make all of Ahab’s prophets tell lies.’ The Lord said, ‘Go and deceive him. You will succeed.’”

23 And Micaiah concluded: “This is what has happened. The Lord has made these prophets of yours lie to you. But he himself has decreed that you will meet with disaster!”

Your Pain Is My Pain

Bible, Christian Faith, Compassion, Home, Inspirational, Relationship, Visions
Your Pain Is My Pain

He will bring justice to the poor of the people;He will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor. (Psalm 72:4 NKJV)

What a wonderful promise. Our God is an awesome God, He is not partial or complacent when it comes to protecting the weak and needy. When He looks at them, His heart gets filled with love and compassion.

He knows what it feels like to be poor because He is the creator. He can feel all things. Jesus said that whatever we do to the least of the brethren, we do to Him. That means, He feels everybody’s pain and injustice.

If you have ever been oppressed and needy you will definitely understand. I understand because I know what it feels like to be oppressed. It is not a very good feeling, in fact it is one of the worst feelings on earth.

An oppressed person cries many silent cries and his spirit is in a state of perpetual weeping and mourning. The Lord Himself counts those silent and hidden tears because He sees all. He is the God that sees all.

I remember sometime ago when a South London man that I became friends with out of pity dealt mercilessly with me. He betrayed my trust and friendship with great recklessness and irresponsibility.

The first time I met him, he presented himself as a victim, however, when he gained my trust and pity he became the hunter – the victim became the hunter and the helper became the prey. After this man dealt with me, I was in great pain, sorrow and turmoil.

The Lord had previously warned me about this man but I did not listen. I convinced myself it was the devil that spoke – how silly.

When the man became the hunter after his prey – me, the Lord appeared in a white cloud one afternoon and spoke to me saying, “he thinks he will get away with his actions but He won’t.” At this point, I had not yet understood the full extent of the evil intention that this man had for me. Then after a while, this man‘s true intention and the harm he intended became open. He hurt me and showed himself fully as someone that had the intention to harm me further. At this discovery, I was in pain and shock.

The Lord spoke to me again and said, ”you will face your judgement.” I still did not understand the reality of what He said until my stomach started burning like fire, and a great sorrow gripped me.

The Lord then appeared to me again, sitting on a chair. I threw myself on the floor at His feet rolling and crying and I could sense He was not happy with me. He scolded me and said I behaved badly. At that point I could not argue with Him or lie.

I was just making excuses but I felt that He was so right and my excuses were useless and lame. When the Lord speaks and you are wrong, you accept your judgement. I had taken wrong steps and I did not pay attention when He warned me about this man.

After some days, the Lord spoke to me and said, ‘Your pain is my pain.’ Remember that I had brought this upon myself through my disobedience. However, the pain was just too much. It was unbearable and the Lord became my comforter.

I always knew His love but that was a deeper revelation of His love that I had not known or imagined. It felt very personal and real. He felt my pain very deeply and I could feel His love through His words and voice. For those who doubt, God definitely has deep emotions and feelings.

After the great blow and pain the man gave me, I saw myself in a trance saying, “ Holy Spirit take me home, I want to see God the father and I want to see Jesus.’ Wow, I did not know that my spirit was traumatised.

Physically, I felt I was okay and the pain would just go away, but the Lord showed me the condition of my spirit. It was the first time that I realised that the Lord who had been having this wonderful, amazing relationship with me was the Holy Spirit.

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17

He had told me long before that vision that I would have a good relationship with the Holy Spirit but it was not deeply impressed on my mind. I always called Him Jesus and I never realised that it was the Holy Spirit until I said that.

May be I just never differentiated the two. Of course, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus Christ so in that sense He is Jesus but to be more specific He is the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the manifest power and glory of God and He is at the right side of God.

The manifest presence of God is constant in heaven. The Holy Spirit is the one who manifests the presence of God on earth. The manifest presence of God is not constantly present on earth. However, we can experience the manifest presence of God by the Holy Spirit.

We can only experience Jesus who is life and glory by the spirit of Jesus – the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is also the Spirit of the father and son and He makes heaven real on earth.

Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. John 14:23

The Lord said nothing when I told Him I wanted to go home. I was even surprised that I was asking the Lord to leave this earth – what about my ministry? I was simply shocked at my request but He rightly ignored my request.

Some days later, in a trance He appeared to me in a white cloud. Then next thing I knew, I was lying on the cloud and I expected the cloud to be soft but it was hard! I just lay on the cloud like a baby for some time and when I came out of the trance I felt good, comforted and consoled.

After that vision, my spirit was refreshed and healed and I was able to forget the pain. He saw and heard my silent cry, tears, sorrows and pain even though I had disobeyed His instruction. I was judged but He comforted me in judgement.

When Hagar cried her own silent tears, He appeared as the God Who Sees. He felt her pain even though it was Hagar who provoked her mistress. He still felt pity for her but asked her to go back and behave herself by submitting to Sarai. This is an aspect of God that I like so much – His compassionate nature.

When we hurt the poor, we hurt Him. When we oppress and cheat the needy, He feels it like it is His own pain and injustice. He is saying today and every other day, through this Scripture that He will bring justice to the poor and will save the needy. Glory to God.

There is hope for the neglected, abused and poor because our God sees and hears their cries for justice and mercy. Justice will rise up and meet them. God will break in pieces the oppressors of mankind and save the oppressed. Most especially, when we get to Heaven, He will wipe away every tear from our eyes.

He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Revelation 21:4
