Power Defeats Power

Visions Revelations and Messages

In this revelation, the Lord said to me,

“All that matters in life is power. It is power that defeats power, and people with less power are always slaves of people with higher power. “

My Thoughts

Could Jesus and Paul have been effective without power? No. Jesus came to manifest the power of God. The love, mercy and kindness of God are demonstrated by His power. The Church of Jesus Christ has so much underestimated and undervalued the power of God. This is mostly because of false doctrines, especially the doctrines about confession and claim it.

Those unhealthy new age doctrines overthrew the role of the power of God in some believers minds. They attributed power to their confessions and denied the power of God. In their attempts to de-robe God and strip Him of His glory and power they de-robed themselves and stripped themselves, naked of the power of God.

It is the power of God that delivers and heals, not our confessions. Confession can only be secondary after power. When there is power, you decree a thing and it comes to pass. As a prophet, when I am in the Spirit, I decree and before my very eyes, the decree comes to pass physically. Usually, I decree what the Lord moves me to decree, not what my selfish human self wants. I decree in line with the will of God. This is by grace and the power of Christ. When I am not in the Spirit, I do not decree. I humbly seek God’s face and ask. I present my petitions to God and wait upon Him.

Minister’s should be anointed with the power of God to heal the sick and deliver, but many lost the way and started sowing the false garments of Adam and Eve to cover their nakedness and believers nakedness. It did not work. Only the glory and power of God can cover our nakedness. So many in the church are still naked without the power of God.

You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. Revelation 3:17

You experience the power of God, by following His ways and seeking His face. If the power of God is not with you and not made manifest, your confessions will fail you. So what then do we seek? We seek first things first. If we seek the power and face of God and the presence of God is in our aura, then, our confessions will work.

Our confessions should not be used as mantra, like the way pagans do confessions and enchantments. What believers don’t know is that those pagans have demons and powers attached to their aura and are given specific words and confessions to activate and make the powers perform magic for them anytime, anyhow and anywhere. That is called enchantment, magic and sorcery. Sorcerers exist but the power of God is supreme.

But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. (Acts 13:8 NKJV)

and said, “O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time.” And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand. (Acts 13:10-11 NKJV)

When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money and said, “Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”

Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money! You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God. Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin.”

Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”

We should definitely not imitate pagans and their ways – they should be the ones to see the power of Christ in us and then, become like us and imitate us the way we imitate Christ. We might not be manifesting the power of Christ now, but as long as we acknowledge that we need it and desire, hunger, thirst and long for it by seeking His face, we are on the right track.

All those new age doctrines and quick fixes that entered the church actually ignore truth and reality and promote self exaltation and worship. Self worship is satanism. Confessions without seeking the grace and power of God is error. Was that the doctrine of Jesus and Paul? No. They magnified and acknowledged the power and grace of God. Great grace was upon them. Everything has a place. The word of God has its place and the glory and power of God has its place. They represent different spiritual realities. You have to be filled and cleansed with the word of God in complete submission to the ways and word of God before the power of Christ can rest upon you.

A believer can be put under a spell by evil people if they are naked and devoid of power. However, Christ as head of all principalities and powers permits the act. Power is what controls and defeats power in the spirit world. Annointing breaks the yoke and it is not by power or might but by the Spirit of God.

The kingdom of darkness understands this principle all too well so you will see them going all over the place seeking more power. When a witch doctor cast a spell on them they look for another witch doctor with higher power and the latter breaks the spell. We are forbidden as Christians to visit witch doctors and false prophets because they have partnered with death, hell, the grave and destruction to get power. They offer human sacrifice to obtain power so it is an abomination to partake of blood.

What we need to do is to wait upon the Lord and seek His face until He manifests His power. When His power descends your captivity and bondage will be over.

Power is the only thing that can defeat power so run into the arms of grace today for the power of God to heal and deliver you. He is waiting for you to meet Him at the secret place of prayer.

May great grace be upon us in Jesus name.

All Power

Bible, Christian Faith, Holy Spirit, Home, Inspirational, Power, Scripture
All Power

All Power

He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens (Revelation 3:7 NKJV)

Jesus has supremacy over all things – He can do and undo. He can undo what the enemy has done and He can do great things for His children. Life and death and in His hands and no one can touch us except He permits it.

This means that at every point in time, we should find out from the Holy Spirit why God permitted certain undesirable things into our lives, and how we should respond to defeat those things. The Holy Ghost alone, knows the cause and solution of every predicament.

All power belongs to God, so we should not fear the enemy or the agents, servants and forces of the enemy. We should only fear God, who can shut a door and no one will be able to open it, and when He opens a door, no one can close it.

To God be all the glory, power and dominion. May great grace be upon us in Jesus name.

May This Dance Never End

Bible, Christian Faith, Grace, Holy Spirit, Home, Inspirational, Jesus, Power, Scripture
May This Dance Never End

I waited for you

And you came to me

You met me

At the Holy Mountain

The glorious spot

Where we usually meet

Your smile was sweet

Your look was captivating

Your face was radiant

Your countenance was charismatic

Your garment was sparkling

Your skin was translucent with light

And

Your fragrance was

The oil of heavenly love

You cleansed me

Washed me

And transformed me

You pointed towards my dirty grey rumpled garment

And in the twinkle of an eye

My gown was transformed to

A glorious heavenly white ball gown

Decorated with strips of gold

It was studded with diamonds

Rubies, sapphires, jasper, emerald, amethyst and onyx

I felt an itch

On my left arm

Just below my wrist

And I scratched

And felt something

Popping out from inside my body

And out of my skin

I pulled it out

And behold

It was a golden shawl!

You took it from me

And gently

Draped it

Around my neck and shoulders

In great ecstasy and shock

I exclaimed,

“Jesus! My Lord!”

I shuddered

And I wept for joy

I knelt before you

In great adoration

And worship

You opened your arms

Then, I got up and rushed into your strong, powerful arms

You held me close

And I held you tightly

Like a daughter

Lost and found

Then I got drowned

In your fragrance

And heavenly perfume

I felt rapturous praise

Erupting from my inner

Being like an unstoppable

Volcano

Threatening to engulf me

In its awesome intensity

Of heavenly love and passion

I looked into your eyes

And I fainted

And fell at your feet

At your great power, love and glory

You picked me up

Like a little child

You led me to the highest mountain

And we danced

We danced and danced

As we became one

And you filled me

With your Holy Spirit

Heaven screamed with joy

The saints rejoiced

And angels sang

Sweet, golden Hallelujah

The melodious song

Of heaven

Titled,

“You’ll never find another love

Like Jesus Christ”

Reverberated and filled the air

I whispered and groaned deeply

Into your diamond

Studded robes

Loving its feel

Hiding my face

In it’s glorious fragrance and warmth

“Lord of glory

May this dance last forever and never end.”

My eyes were pleading

And my face was bewildered

My breath was short

And gasping

My face was twisted

With the agony of

Knowing that

I was incomplete

Without your constant infilling

My groan was from

The pit of my belly

As my whole being shook

And reverberated

With a need beyond words

You raised my bewildered face towards you

To look at your face which radiated with great light

And my eyes shifted away from

Your eyes

In childlike shyness and confusion

I felt so unworthy

Because I was

Experiencing

Heaven on earth

And I felt ashamed of my awkward shyness

You smiled

and you said to me

“My child

I love your shyness

Wait upon me

Seek my face

Walk in my ways and will

Flee every appearance of evil

Rejoice in me always

Celebrate my love

Thank me in every circumstance

And pray without ceasing

And you will always dance

With me and in me

There is a price to pay

For my glory

Which is my dance

But when we meet in Heaven

You will

Always dance with me and in me

And rest in my arms

And love for all eternity

You bent your head towards my face

And kissed my right cheek

And said,

“I love you.”

Then you disappeared

Jesus!

You are fairer

Than ten thousand

And none

Can compare to you

May your Church

Delight to always

Dance in you

And constantly experience

Your great glory.”

No Enchantments, No Divinations

Bible, Christian Faith, Grace, Home, light, Power, Scripture, The Word, Visions
No Enchantments, No Divinations

No Enchantments, No Divinations

So, I came across a demonic Pastor who tried to cast a spell on me but of course he couldn’t. The Lord usually calls them water Pastors when talking to me, referring to agents of the water kingdom parading themselves as Pastors. Anytime they come across me, they make it their aim to try to get closer to me or entice me to have some sort of fellowship with them in order to perpetuate their evil agenda. Their aim is to destroy or reduce my calling.

Of course I do not respond to them and their efforts to be friends with me. They have been trying their silly and meaningless stunts on me from when I was very young but the Lord has always been my protection, battle axe, weapon and joy.

I see most of the things they do in secret because I am a prophet. The Lord has given me X-ray eyes and has revealed most of their secrets and ways to me and I keep exposing them. The Lord enables me to see their aura and the uncleanness and demons in them. They hate me with a passion but I am not bothered.

They are humans, but principalities, powers and spiritual beasts appeared to me in the past to fight me to try and stop my calling and God defeated them all. I have passed through tough and severe spiritual tests, examinations and trials until the Lord was satisfied and said to me, “you are tested and trusted.” I am not just an Evangelist and a Prophet, I am also an apostle. The Lord Jesus appears to me. He takes me to different Kingdoms to deliver souls and make them born again. Anyone who gets born again in the spiritual world gets born again physically. It is a spiritual work and the battle is won in the spiritual realm so they despise me for that.

So this pastor tried to cast a spell on me but the Lord was faster than him. The Lord neutralized everything before he could even complete it. Then the Lord spoke to me and said, “ no enchantments, no divinations against Israel.”

What they do not realize is that no one can harm us except we permit it. So how do we permit it?

1. Inordinate lust and love for the world, the flesh and money

2. Lack of constant fellowship with God

3. Living outside God’s plan for our lives

4. Not constantly being filled with the Holy Spirit

5. Not living a life of constant thanksgiving, praise and worship for the blood of Jesus that saved us and redeemed us. YES, we are REDEEMED, DELIVERED AND SAVED! We are in the new covenant of grace and mercy and all we need is to walk in it.

6. Not constantly celebrating the Lord of love that gave us amazing love, mercy and grace. Not rejoicing in the Lord always.

7. Choosing sadness over thanksgiving. The truth is that God hates sadness. Sadness is a choice and a lifestyle.

8. Lack of faith in the good news of salvation

9. Not living a life of “pray without ceasing” as commanded by God in the Bible.

10. Despising the blood of Jesus by enjoying a sinful lifestyle

11. Not constantly being led by the Holy Spirit in all things including our prayer lives. Those who are led by the Holy Spirit are the sons of God. They experience the reality of sonship.

12. Not putting on the complete armor of God and the whole counsel of the word of God.

Anyone who lives a lukewarm life in Christ will experience some level of defeat including me and other ministers. God is not a respecter of persons. If we do not respect God, Satan, demons and agents of the devil will not respect us and spells will find a landing ground.

So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. Revelation 3:16

No one can curse whom God has not cursed so if you permit and give the devil a foothold and he gains an upper hand, God will permit some level of defeat so that we can judge ourselves and get back into victory. Defeat is simply a symptom of lukewarmness and a substandard Christian life. It is not meant to be a permanent reality.

With God all things are possible. We are to constantly judge ourselves so that we will not be judged by God and that is the lifestyle that I constantly live. When I make mistakes God corrects me but I keep depending on His grace. I am open to His voice, Spirit and leading, and as I have matured in Christ, I am experiencing greater victories in Christ. However, I am very careful because there in a thin line between victory and defeat, humility and pride. Carelessness can make us fall and no minister is an exception. I cling to His grace constantly and I depend on Him totally so that I will not fall. However, when I fall, I get up again and keep fighting. It is only in heaven that we will no longer fight and struggle not to fall, so I fight! I simply keep fighting!

I fight by living a lifestyle of faith, prayer, praise, thanksgiving, worship, obedience, fortitude, patience, persistence and perseverance.

May great grace be upon us in Jesus name.

Jesus, My Love

Bible, Christian Faith, Holy Spirit, Home, Inspirational, Intimacy, Jesus, light, Power, Scripture, The Word, Visions
Jesus, My Love

I love it most when we are simply enjoying each other’s presence and not asking anything from one another. That is what I love the most.”.png

Visions, Revelations and Messages.

Did you see Netanyahu?

For the past two days I was spending sixteen hours a day on digital painting and art. When I start, I just can’t seem to stop until I finish. This particular painting was really complex and would take about 5 days to complete. I am a qualified accountant so my work involves complex financial forecasts and analysis with financial engineering and mathematics. However, I love to paint, write and produce music. I am still going through a learning curve in the art, writing and music world. I painted from 7am to 10pm for two days, while playing praise and worship. I also do another type of work at night and get just a little sleep. I did not pray and fellowship with the Lord as usual with Bible study, pouring out my heart to Him and singing to Him. I only listened to praise and worship as I painted. Then I developed a bad headache.

I simply took a break and stopped the painting to give my eyes a break from the bright invincible rays coming from my MacBook Pro screen which I believe was causing the head ache.

Then, from 7pm yesterday night, I went into prayer. I knew that all I needed to do was to relax and refresh myself in His presence. I then talked to the Lord and sang praises, thanksgiving, love and worship to the Lord. I apologized to Him for ignoring Him when He had commanded me to spend a lot of time in His presence daily for fresh infilling and glory. I said to Him,

‘Lord, I know it was wrong of me to ignore you and spend so much time on digital painting, Please forgive me.”

I kept fellowshipping, worshipping and praying. After about three hours, the Lord came upon me and I went into a trance. He said to me. “I love you. I love you with the greatest love of all”  This made me very happy. The Lord expresses love so easily. He is never shy. I am shy with love but the Lord has taught me how to be more expressive with Him. He loves tender and sweet names. He continued,

“My love, no amount of pen pressure (His code name for digital painting) is worth my presence, I love it most when we are simply enjoying each other’s presence and not asking anything from one another. That is what I love the most.”

I said to Him, “ Jesus my love. I love it when you come upon me. I love it when you move, I love you.”

He talked to me about future events that would happen in my life.

He showed me the map of an African country and what would happen to it.

He said to me, “Did you see Netanyahu? He is a strong man. He is stronger than eight Western leaders put together. I had read an article with a picture of Netanyahu during the day. After about an hour the Lord came upon me again and continued talking about Netanyahu, He said to me. “I am with Him. “ Wow, I was shocked. But I should not have been shocked. Even though many Israelites are not Christians, God made a covenant with them.

Then, I saw the cloud that represents God’s glory. This time around, it was blue in color. After that, I saw myself up in the sky and I went  into the cloud above that houses a kingdom. The Lord was with me. I was now in the middle of the clouds just like when an airplane is flying in between the clouds. Next thing, I was in a kingdom.

The Kingdom was in the cloud and mixed up with the cloud and part of the cloud was still visible. Then the clouds disappeared and it was just the Kingdom. This kingdom was beautiful. I observed the structure of the buildings, streets, topography, hills, landscape and trees. We were on a street above looking at a street below. It was spectacular. I turned to the person beside me and she is someone I know on earth. She was also staring around her in surprise. I said, “ We are just behaving the way someone from a third world village who just came to America for the first time would behave.” That place looked like earth but the leaves of the trees and the buildings were just more sophisticated.

Then I saw some Reverend Fathers and I also saw people of many races. I saw three old white women and two young black women. They were all wearing white. I wondered what the white signified in that Kingdom. I approached one of the young girls and asked.

“What is the meaning of this white you are wearing?”

She was reluctant to tell me.

Then I called her name and she was surprised that I knew her name. That was when she realized that I was not from her kingdom and was with a higher power than her kingdom.

I said to her. “I am a princess from the Kingdom above the galaxies higher than every other kingdom.” Apostles and Evangelists are Princes and Princesses. Paul was a Prince.

Immediately I said that, she was filled with fear, terror and dread and ran away without answering my question. She was scared that she would go crazy or die.

I noticed that the Kingdom had Palaces.

Then I started looking for someone called Justin and was screaming, Justin!Justin! I saw him somewhere very far away and wanted to meet him but it was a very long walk. I remembered that depending on the degree of anointing upon me, I could make myself speed faster than an airplane and get to my destination. I tried to move very fast but I could not. Then I kept trying and I was able to speed up towards Justin. I was stopped half way by a man holding a sharp knife. He tried to stab me but he could not. I called his name and he was very surprised that I knew his name. I told him that I was from a great kingdom and that he would have died instantly if he had stabbed me.

I came out of the vision.

Towards the early hours of the morning, the Lord showed me a glimpse of Heaven. I saw dazzling, amazing golden buildings and structures that are impossible to describe. The Kingdom we belong to as Christians is simply awesome and indescribable in beauty, magnificence and splendor

I was able to experience the Lord simply by setting aside time to fellowship with Him. Anyone can live constantly in the dazzling glory of the Lord. The Lord has perfected His salvation and given us the Holy Spirit. We are the ones who need to cooperate constantly with Him to experience the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We must desire spiritual gifts.

So many things are hidden but the Lord is showing me these things because I am an end time Prophet. He is working towards the Unification Of The Church and he wants to take back his church that has been hijacked by the queen of heaven. The Lord wants to rescue souls from that kingdom which is part of  the kingdom of darkness and death and translate souls to the Kingdom of light, life and glory.

What I took away from this vision

  1. Spending quality time in the presence of God brings down the glory of God.
  2. There are many kingdoms of this world and the kingdom above the sky in the cloud is one of them.
  3. The Queen of heaven has a kingdom directly above the sky just as she has a kingdom in the water and the seas. The Lord had previously shown me visions about that.
  4. She is the one that goes by many names such as star of the sea, ocean star and queen of heaven. She is a Principality and is notoriously nicknamed and baptized Mary by her fans, followers and worshipers.
  5. God wants to deliver souls from her hands.
  6. God loves fellowship and worship and the best form of worship is to simply love the Lord and spend time with Him without selfishness and expectation. He delights in pure love.

The greatest love of all is Jesus. Jesus is the manifest presence of God. He is the glory of God, the grace of God and the mercy of God. When Jesus comes upon us and moves by His Holy Spirit, we experience the greatest love of all. The greatest love of all is Christ in us the hope of glory.

May we all constantly taste and experience the greatest love of all.

Visions Revelations and Messages

Vision of the Reverend Father 

In this vision, I walked into the middle of a service. It was being led by a Catholic Reverend Father. I needed no permission to go in because I was sent by the Lord. Immediately the reverend Father saw me, he stopped the service and said with a very beautiful beaming smile, “Laura you are welcome.” I said, “thank you.” 

I looked around the pulpit and saw that the statues, images and idols were gone. Looking around the pulpit which was formerly an alter for sacrifices, I said to him, ” I see that you have followed my advise as revealed by the Lord and taken away the idols and statues. He was beaming with the most glorious smile as he said, “yes.” My heart melted with holy joy. He was such a lovely man and I still remember His face very clearly.  I said to him, 

“Watch and see the glory of God come down on this church as I minister.”  You are still Catholics, the only difference is that the statues and idols are gone. You have cleansed your church. Then I took the microphone from him and started preaching. I said,

“Anyone can live constantly in the dazzling glory of the Lord. It is not difficult, all you have to do is live the way that Jesus lived. He lived for God first, second for man and thirdly for himself. All you need to do is imitate Jesus in everything and live the way He lived and the dazzling glory of God will be your constant companion.

May God’s great grace be with all those who follow inspired messages and love the Lord Jesus with undying love.

Visions, Revelations and Messages

Vision of two young girls 

In this vision, I saw two beautiful young girls talking with each other. I interrupted them as I joined them and sat beside them. I said to them, “you don’t need to be transported physically to visit that place, you can visit there spiritually. I blew on one of the girls, with air expelled out of my mouth and she was gone. She was sitting down on her chair transfixed and her eyes were open and blank without movement. She was no longer with us because her spirit had travelled. She was in a state of rapture. She came back after a few minutes and was full of smiles.    

“Where were you?” I asked her.

She replied, “I was in Heaven and was being clothed in blue and white robes.” I smiled and said to her in excitement and joy,  “anyone can visit heaven when the glory of God comes upon them.” 

And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18

This girl’s spirit had an encounter with glory and heaven. I do not know her physically but the Lord is transforming her. The Lord wants us to know that Heaven is not a far away place. It is just a heartbeat away. He wants us to visit Heaven in the Spirit. The more we are in contact with the glory of God and Heaven, the more transformed we will be. It is the glory coming from the presence of the Lord that transforms us from glory to glory.

May you be transformed from glory to glory in Jesus name.

I Want Those Who Are Desperate For Me

Bible, Grace, Holy Spirit, Home, Intimacy, Power, Prayer, The Word, Visions
I Want Those Who Are Desperate For Me

 

I Want Those Who Are Desperate For Me

Visions, Revelations and Messages

Two nights ago, after a long period of waiting upon the Lord all day and night, the Lord came upon me and revealed certain things to me. I want to specifically write on one of the things He said to me. He said to me, ” I want those who want me, I want those who are desperate for me.” The Lord had spoken to me several times in the past about hunger, passion, thirst, craving and need as relates to wanting Him and His divine presence. This time around He used a word that struck a deep chord within me – desperate.

Most of the time, we sing some of the worship songs about needing the Lord and being desperate for Him without any emotion or understanding. We sing those songs without realizing that underneath those songs lie deep spiritual wisdom and reality.

“Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. John 7:37-38

Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life. John 22:17

To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment (Revelation 21:6 ESV)

 

God wants desperate men and women to cry out to Him in heartfelt, persistent, passionate desire for His presence. This prayer comes from a place of necessity and need. We need Him, period. Those who are not seeking Him with hunger and thirst are still blind to their naked state and need. They are not putting on their white garments but are content. They think they do not need Him but they are very wrong. 

“Because you say, ’I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’ – and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked –   (Revelation 3:17 NKJV)

“I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.  (Revelation 3:18 NKJV)

It is only a desperate man that will take great measures to seek the Lord. It is only a man that is aware of his desperation that will forsake all else and seek the Lord. We all need Him but unfortunately, we are not all aware of this desperation or need. Many of us are unconsious, asleep or in a deep spiritual coma regarding our spiritual need for the Lord. 

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. Psalm 42:1

As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God. Psalm 42:1

To pant is to be out of breath or short of breath. To pant is to gasp for air. The presence of God is our spiritual air and oxygen. The presence of God is our spiritual food and the word of God is our soul food. We need both.

The presence of God is our spiritual and living water. A wise man knows that he cannot survive without constant supply and intake of water. We cannot be spiritually healthy, strong and effective without our spiritual water. 

If you are not desperate for the presence of God, it will show in your nonchalant and lukewarm prayer life. Your prayer will not be hot, fervent, heartfelt and sincere. It will be cold, tepid or lukewarm. Those who are not desperate for the Lord are those who will spend every minute of their prayer lives asking for everything else and every physical blessing but will never ask for the constant infilling and overflowing presence of the Lord. Your heart will always be where your treasure is. Their treasure is not the Lord and sometimes you can not differentiate such believers from non believers. They are full of worldly desires, greed, cravings, lusts and needs but ignore the Holy Spirit. 

Desperation, passion, longing, hunger, thirst and desire are so important when seeking the fire or presence of the Holy Spirit. God wants us to want Him, need Him and be desperate for Him. Do we care enough to respond to this Holy call?

May great grace be upon us in Jesus name.

And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob. (Romans 11:26 NKJV)

Jesus did not just deliver us and stop there – He is our constant deliverer. He delivers and He saves. That is why He came. We have a mighty deliverer who is higher than the heavens and is supreme over all of creation. We are truly blessed indeed.

Do you need deliverance or healing today? Reach out in faith to your deliverer and seek God’s face. Our mighty deliverer will definitely hear your silent or loud cries for deliverance.
