The Lord Will Give Grace And Glory

The Lord Will Give Grace And Glory

The Lord Will Give Grace And Glory

For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly. Psalm 84:11

God saved us by His grace and, He also promised to decorate us with grace and glory. Grace and glory is what will elevate you in this life and make you fulfill your destiny. It positions you to walk in the supernatural. A man without grace is a dead man walking and a man with small grace cannot perform greater than the level of grace given to Him. He cannot do the greater works that Jesus promised. Jesus lived in the fullness of God’s grace and the Apostles experienced great grace. We should too.

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14

We must keep praying persistently without giving up until we experience God’s great grace and glory upon us. When that grace comes, we will no longer struggle with so many sins because God’s ability will be there to enable us overcome. When great grace comes, we will also be filled with glory and produce all the fruits of the Holy Spirit.

The grace of God is precious. May great grace be upon us in Jesus Name.

You Will See Those Egyptians No More

You Will See Those Egyptians No More

Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. Exodus 14:13

Stand Firm

This Scripture is just so wonderful to our Spirits. We are commanded to stand firm. We must stand firm in the unyielding belief and foundation that the blood of Jesus has set us free. We are free – no contractions. The enemy will only try to bully us into thinking that we are still slaves of sin, death and punishments but we are not. We only need to grow in our redemption, love, hope and faith

We are redeemed, forgiven, free children of the most high God. That is why we will go to heaven when we die. We are already citizens of heaven and those who are filled with His Spirit experience heaven every day. His presence is Heaven and brings heaven to reality. The kingdom of God is within us but we will not experience that reality if we are not constantly filled with His glory.

We are free. If we were not free from our sins or forgiven, we would not look forward to heaven. The fact that we believe that we will go to heaven means that we have acknowledged that we are forgiven and do not have to pay for our sins in hell, purgatory or any other place.

We are healed by the punishment he suffered,

made whole by the blows he received. Isaiah 53:5

Stand firm in your faith and belief. Our sins and punishments were cancelled by the punishments that Jesus suffered on the cross for us. We do not have to pay twice. Do not let the devil rob you by making you think you have to pay again, you do not. Fight till the end and hold on till the end in unwavering conviction, expectation and hope. Cling to the healthy word of God that sets your soul free from lies and deception. Let His life giving words dwell richly in you.

Do not believe that you will pay in purgatory – that means you have rejected the sacrifice of Jesus and the power of His precious blood. When you try to pay for your sins by yourself you end up rejecting grace and embracing death. You can never pay for your sins or achieve salvation by your own efforts, punishments and blood. Embrace the blood of Jesus and believe in His eternal redemption.

Do not be afraid

Do not be afraid. The devil will try to overwhelm you with so many red seas and giants. He will try to make you fear and doubt your redemption but do not be afraid. Hold your peace and believe in God’s saving grace that has set you free and sets you free. Reject doubt and fear and trust in Him who loved you so much and sent His son to die in your place.

You will see the deliverance of the Lord

As you trust in God and cling to His word in faith, persistence, praise and obedience, you will see the deliverance of the Lord. Never give up on God and on your faith. Hold on to God’s word and mercy even with your dying breath. He is the deliverer and will never disappoint those who have faith in Him and cling to Him for help.

You will see the Egyptians no more

The enemies, afflictions, problems and punishments you see, you will see them no more as you worship Him, thank Him, praise Him and rejoice in Him. Do not look at the enemy but at the power of God and the blood of Jesus. Focus on His ability and do not focus on self and the ability of self. The ability of self is a mirage and a delusion. Every good and perfect present comes from God.

Realize the bigness of God and the littleness of your problems. As you grow in faith and dependence on God – humbly praying for the infilling of the Holy Spirit, you will see those Egyptians and giants no more. All you will see will be the glory of God.

The LORD has promised that he himself will be a wall of fire around the city to protect it and that he will live there in all his glory.” Zechariah 2:5

He will dwell in you in all His glory. Amen.

Hold Your Peace And Let God Fight For You

Hold Your Peace And Let God Fight For You

Hold Your Peace And Let God Fight For You

The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Exodus 14:14 

For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” Deuteronomy 20:4

The Lord our God is the one that fights our battles. Some people have not realized this secret so they go around fighting, quarreling and revenging. They try so hard on their own and in their own power to defeat stubborn enemies. However, the power of man is useless when it comes to stubborn persistent enemies.

Some enemies are even clothed with the power of Satan and witchcraft to fight innocent believers. So why do people fret and get disturbed? They get disturbed and are applying all sorts of physical weapons to fight their enemies and perceived enemies. The Israelites had both physical and spiritual enemies.

Pharaoh had gods who were behind his hatred and abuse towards the Israelites. God had to intervene before, the Israelites could be set free. It is not by power or might but by the Spirit of God. God had to use His own higher power to defeat the gods and powers behind pharaoh.

On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD. Exodus 12:12

When God steps in and judges the powers and gods behind your stubborn enemies, you will experience victory. It is the Lord our God that goes with us to fight for us and give us victory. Our own power is useless and can only be a hinderance to the power of God.

As we hold our peace and go into prayer, praise, worship and thanksgiving with faith, persistence and obedience, God will step in and overtake and overpower our enemies in the secret place of mercy and grace.

Every Knee Must Bow

Every Knee Must Bow

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:10 – 2:11 NKJV)

When the power of God is present, every knee must bow. Nothing in all of creation can resist or disobey the power of God. Those who have learnt the secret of the manifest presence of God know the reality of all knees and powers bowing at the name of Jesus.

All power belongs to Jesus and He has authority over death and the grave. When you call His name and He appears spiritually, powers tremble, bow, flee and dissolve at His glory. They cannot withstand the fire emanating from Him. They must bow and flee.

Jesus Christ Defied And Defeated Death

Jesus Christ Defied And Defeated Death

But it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 2 Timothy 1:10

After achieving forgiveness for the sins of all human beings, he sat down in heaven at the right side of God, the Supreme Power. Hebrews 1:3

No other human, spirit or god has ever been able to defy death. It is only the one who defied death and lived above and beyond death that should command our respect. Jesus Christ defeated death for us and also promised us victory over death, the grave and eternal life. Christians are pilgrims in this world looking forward to their future existence in heaven.

People are out there preaching all sorts of religions and ideologies including Atheism. My own reality is this – if you have never defied death like Jesus Christ, do not expect me to listen to your wisdom. Any wisdom that cannot create the world, humans and defy death is a worthless and deceptive wisdom.

Christ alone defied and defeated death and He alone commands my respect. He is the only Lord and all other gods are fake and false. They are simply figments of man’s imagination, they are not real.

Christ is softly beckoning to all, today to accept Him as Lord. He paid our debts with His blood and achieved forgiveness for human sins. He has freely given and offered us mercy, love and life. He alone has the guarantee and assurance of eternal life.

He Speaks Through Men

He Speaks Through Men

The Spirit Of The Lord

35: He Speaks Through Men

The spirit of the Lord speaks through me; his message is on my lips. 2 Samuel 23:2

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Revelation 2:29

The Holy Spirit speaks through men. He calls men as prophets and speaks His messages to them for the good of the church and the world. The wise people are able to recognize true prophets and benefit from the messages, while the not so wise ones scorn and hate the prophets and make mockery of them. Jesus was a prophet and He was mocked and killed. John the Baptist was a prophet and because of his message, he was beheaded.

The Apostles were prophets and most of them were killed and became martyrs. The world could not tolerate the truth in their message because the world loves lies and darkness. The world also listens to prophets who dilute and water down the truth. They world loves prophets who masquerade as messengers of light. That is why the world is not seeing great prophets like those in the Bible.

The great prophets are those who will not sell or compromise the truth, light, message or word of God because of fear of death or their belly – bread and butter. They will not exchange Jesus, who is truth and the word of God for money, silver or gold.

God is not as far away as men think. He dwells in every believer and every believer can hear His voice for specific personal guidance, counsel and comfort. He also delivers His messages through anointed prophets. God is not far away, He only needs dedicated vessels of light. The devil has so many dedicated vessels of darkness but men are not willing to pay the price required to be real prophets.

Throughout the Old Testament God spoke through prophets. In the New Testament there were also prophets. Paul as an Apostle was also a prophet because an Apostle has the fivefold ministry of Apostle, Evangelist, Prophet, Teacher and Pastor. John the Apostle was also a Prophet. God shows Prophets deep events and mysteries relating to the past, present and future. He does not show them these things as entertainment but for the edification, sanctification and preparation of the Church.

In the book of Revelations, John, the author kept saying, “He who has ears let Him hear what the Spirt says to the Churches.” The Holy Spirit was the one talking through John. We are told that those who hear and keep the words of the prophesies and messages are blessed.

Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. Revelation 1:3

May we always hear the messages of the Holy Spirit spoken and still speaking through prophets in Jesus name.

He Can Be Received Through Laying Of Hands

He Can Be Received Through Laying Of Hands

He Can Be Received Through Laying Of Hands

The Spirit Of The Lord

28: He can be received through laying of hands

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

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

The Holy Spirit can be received through laying of hands. An anointed vessel can pray for us and lay hands on us to receive the Holy Spirit. We can receive Him depending on the level of anointing upon that vessel and the level of darkness in us. People born with demons and covenanted to darkness require greater anointing than those who have a clean lineage and blood line.

Just as John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit from the womb, some people are filled with demons from the womb and it is not their fault. Their blood line was polluted by parents and ancestors who worshipped idols.

And asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” Acts 19:2

We must be careful not to allow false prophets lay hands on us. Unfortunately, these day are different from the days of the apostles. There are so many false prophets out there masquerading, disguising and pretending to be apostles of light. There are many wolves in sheeps clothing like Jesus warned us in the Scriptures to expect.

Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions. Matthew 7:15-20

You must study their doctrines and way of life closely to determine if they are pastors and ministers of Christ or darkness. By their doctrines and fruits you will know them. We must be like the berean believers and compare their teachings with Scriptures. False prophets will always give themselves away by their false teachings, practices and way of life. We also need to have a thorough knowledge of Scriptures in order not to be deceived.

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Acts 17:11

Do not just accept, chew and swallow everything you see and hear – that is spiritual laziness. God gave us intellect and mind and also gave us the word of God. He expects us to use our intellect instead of being docile and lazy in spiritual things. Be of noble Character like the Berean Jews.

Once you determine that an anointed vessel is a true minister of Christ, he can lay hands on you to receive the Holy Spirit. He is God’s gift and our inheritance in Christ. When we receive the Holy Spirit, it becomes easier to obey Christ and please Him. We need Him in greater measures everyday.

He Gives Love

He Gives Love

image1He Gives LoveThe Spirit Of The Lord

27: He gives life

This hope does not disappoint us, for God has poured out his love into our hearts by means of the Holy Spirit, who is God’s gift to us. Romans 5:5

I urge you, friends, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love that the Spirit gives: join me in praying fervently to God for me. Romans 15:30

The Holy Spirit gives love. The Bible tells us that God is love and His Spirit is full of love. Love is a virtue that is greatly lacking in the world and in mankind because man is naturally selfish and self preserving. It is very difficult for someone who is self focused and self gratifying to have love.

This is because love requires sacrifice and God intentionally made it so. He wants love to cost us something. Love is not easy and it is not cheap. God Himself had to come as Jesus to suffer and show us love and the way to love.

In order to love, we must offer ourselves as living sacrifices and die to the flesh and human nature which loves pleasure and fun. We cannot die to the flesh without the Holy Spirit. He is the one that produces good fruits in us. God poured out His love on us by means of His Holy Spirit. The more we yield to Him and depend on Him, the more His love flows and manifests through us.

It is all by the grace of God. If we try to love by our own effort, we will fall flat on our faces because without Him, we can do nothing and man’s power is of no use as long as love and spirituality is concerned. Even physical power and energy is given by God as a blessing.

Jesus Himself loved by the power of the Holy Spirit when He was on earth. He was constantly filled with the Holy Spirit. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we will manifest hundred fold fruits of love, peace, joy, gentleness etc.

But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” Matthew 13:23

He is the one that gives us the ability to love. Even the love that non believers have is from God because He is the author of life and love. Jesus Christ produces love in us by His Holy Spirit so we must cling to Him and His Spirit as Lord.

Your lives will be filled with the truly good qualities which only Jesus Christ can produce, for the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:11

May we cooperate with the Holy Spirit so that we can be filled with His Spirit and in turn be filled with the fruit of love to bless a dying world. May we become effective as Christians instead of failures in love. When we fail in love, we have failed as Christians and are no longer effective.

May we please God always by the love that the Holy Spirit gives. Come Lord Jesus.

Glimpses Of Heaven

Glimpses Of Heaven

But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” (Acts 7:55 – 7:56 NKJV)

 

Stephen was filled with the Holy Spirit

And the Holy Spirit’s presence

In Him enabled Him to see the glory

Of God and Jesus.

 

 

Being filled with the Holy Spirit

Is so necessary if we are to be

Happy victorious Christians.

 

His presence will enable us to have

Glimpses of heaven, the glory of God

And Jesus.

 

His presence keeps us in touch with

Heaven as citizens of heaven.

His presence will stop us from

Having bad dreams and nightmares.

Instead of nightmares we will

Experience glory and play

With Angels.

 

Heavenly dreams are only

Possible through the reality of His glory

And presence.

 

As an Apostle, prophet, Evangelist and teacher

Of the good news,

I have had several glimpses of heaven

And I’ve sometimes seen myself in heaven with heavenly robes

Playing hide and seek with Angels and giggling

Like a little child.

 

I have had these experiences from an early age

And all I can say is heaven is so real.

There is simply

No distance in the spirit between heaven and earth.

One moment you are here and the next minute

You see your Spirt in heaven.

The reality of the Holy Spirit is all we need

To be constantly joyful in Christ.

 

However, this will require sanctification and spending

Long hours in prayer, praise and worship.

There is simply no quick fix. Jesus and Paul

Constantly prayed and sought the face of God.

 

Many years ago before I started

My spiritual journey to the beautiful mountain top

Where His glory dwells,

The Lord said to me,

“You must pay the price, you must spend time with me.”

He also said, “child give me your heart.”

 

He keeps saying to me, “seek my face and wait upon me.”

And He also told me how many hours

To spend in His presence every day.

 

Everything He has taught me has been very

Effective in helping me know

How to experience His presence

And the reality of the Holy Spirit.

 

He then instructed me

To share what He has taught me

Over the years about

Having a good relationship with Him.

 

Every revelation, vision and trance He has given

Me is for building up the body of Christ.

 

I pray that as we seek His face

And wait upon Him,

We will experience the reality

Of His Holy Spirit.
