Keep praying for the Holy Spirit to lead you into all the truth. It is only when you walk in complete truth, that you will experience complete freedom.
Wisdom and truth come through meditation on the word of God and prayer. The more truth you know, the more armed you are to overcome the deception and tricks of the devil. It is only through deception, that the enemy gains upper hand over us. Truth is a powerful weapon and an armor of God. Put on the complete armor of God!
The Lord has been speaking to me about His love. He has constantly emphasized that He wants me to teach about His love. In May 2015, He appeared to me and scolded me about a few things I was not doing right concerning my ministry, He then instructed me to write a book titled “ the love of God” and I did.
Two days ago, He spoke to me in the middle of the night and said, “Teach them about my love. In my love there is protection and healing.”
The love of God created us and sustains us. His love is greater and purer than we can ever imagine. His love refreshes, cleanses, protects, purifies heals and delivers. We need His love in a tangible form. We need to experience His love daily in our lives, and the only way to do that is to learn more about this love, and how to walk with God and taste this pure divine love.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us always.
Never steal God’s glory. Always give all the glory to God. Never say, “my faith or my righteousness healed me,” rather say, “ I prayed to the Lord with faith and His power healed me!”
I was meditating on my bed, on a conversation I had with someone who went on and on about faith and never acknowledged prayer, Holy Spirit, holiness, waiting upon the Lord and seeking His face, praise, worship, thanksgiving and the power and glory of God. The Holy Spirit spoke to me and said, “they are stealing my glory.”
The truth is that our Christian Faith is not as simple as that and there is no formula for healing and deliverance. Deliverance starts and ends with God and being led by the Holy Spirit into the root cause of a demonic problem and how to pray to get deliverance. The Holy Spirit also reveals hidden sins in our lives that we are not aware of, and how we are praying amiss.
When you study Mark 11:23 Jesus told the disciples that they needed faith. He also told them in Matthew 17:21 that a stubborn demon they could not cast out, only goes away by prayer and fasting. So it was all about faith, prayer and fasting. Of corse in the act of prayer, they will have to praise, thank, and obey God. The Disciples needed more annointing like Jesus.
Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Mark 11:23
And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. “ (Mark 11:25 ESV)
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. 1 Peter 3:7
I have come across people who had serious demonic problems who were not properly ministered to and were being taught all kinds of faith doctrines and they died! I particularly remember this twenty two year old boy who took His took his own life. Another sister also died as a result of taking salt which the doctor asked her not to take and she was saying she had faith.
The same Church who was teaching her this unbalanced doctrine was the one that told us this story and blamed the sister and said that she was not wise, however, this sister was acting on their false unbalanced doctrine. We must be careful and always search the Scriptures by ourselves like the Barean Christians. We must be on our guard against false doctrines.
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
This person kept talking about faith and never acknowledged the need to spend time in the presence of God, waiting upon the Lord, hearing from the Holy Spirit and being filled with the Holy Spirit and hinderances to answered prayers. The person never acknowledged waking up at midnight to praise God and pray like Paul and Silas. The person never acknowledged the effectual fervent prayer of a righteousness man avails much.
Paul had to seek the face of God concerning his thorn in the flesh and the Holy Spirit spoke to him. He did not ignore God and go around saying I have faith, I have faith. Paul also told Timothy to start taking wine because of his stomach problem and frequent illnesses. He did not tell Timothy that he was not healed because He did not have faith. It is only the Holy Spirit that knows why people are not healed and the root, hinderances and solutions to their problems. Man does not know.
Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses. 1 Timothy 5:23
So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me (2 Corinthians 12:7 – 12:8 ESV)
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
Denial is not faith. Paul pleaded for his affliction to go away so he acknowledged his problem. He did not go around confessing that he had no affliction and that he was already healed. Denying a problem can never help you and it is not faith, however, take your cares to the Lord and see His power and ability instead. Do not focus on the problem or obsess over it.
I kept trying to explain to the person that faith requires action and the action part of faith is spending time in the presence of God, seeking His face. The active part of faith is when you praise, worship and thank God with effectual fervent prayer.
When your faith leads you to have an active working relationship with God and you are full of rejoicing, and thanking God all in circumstances, you know that your faith is active. True faith leads you to be filled with the Holy Spirit and be led by Him.
True faith leads you to bear all the fruits of the Holy Spirit and have the gifts of the Holy Spirit. True faith leads you to Christian maturity, and knowing how not to pray amiss and pray in line with the will of God.
Remember that Christ told the Christians in Laodicean Church that they were naked, blind and poor, yet these were believers that have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus.
Being redeemed means that we walk in the word of God and Holy Spirt always. You are redeemed and God knows it, demons know this, so if you think that all you need to do is believe this foundational teaching and not walk in God, the word of God and the Holy Spirit then you are like the blind, naked poor believers of Revelation.
If you keep confessing that you are delivered, yet refuse to put on your white garment, you are stubborn and proud. Jesus Himself told these belivers to put on their white garments, meaning they were not protected.
You are delivered by the blood of Jesus, no doubt and will go to heaven, but if you refuse to live in the perfect will of God, the devil will have an upper hand and a foothold over you. Do not give the devil a chance.
You are delivered by the blood of Jesus but you can still give the devil a chance by your careless lifestyle. Judgement begins in the house of God, so learn how to resist the devil and enjoy God’s mercy.
True faith attributes all the glory to God. Faith that excludes everything else to the glorification of faith itself is simply not Bible Faith.
For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked (Revelation 3:17 ESV)
Faith is good, holiness is good, prayer is good, and we must never throw them aside because the Bible commanded us to have faith, be holy, praise God and pray. Learn the secret of clinging to all the instructions about prayer and faith in the word of God. Faith alone is single vision. Learn the secret of double and multiple visions. Learn the secret of overcoming in Christ and being a mature believer.
“Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. Revelation 2:24 NKJV)
“But hold fast what you have till I come. “And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations (Revelation 2:25 – 2:26 NKJV)
The Bible says that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God. It seams that nowadays people no more care about clinging to every word that comes out of the mouth of God. They accept any and every doctrine that is convenient to them because they still love the flesh and have not crucified the flesh.
The truth is that the human flesh, lust and cravings are the true enemies of man not Satan and not God. Satan is the enemy and adversary but you have to hand over your will and permit him to rule over you by giving him an upper hand and foothold. We are the ones that open the door of sin and judgement not God and not Satan. Satan and demons will only do what you permit them to do.
We have free will but Satan and demons do not have free will so that automatically makes man superior to them but man does not appreciate his position and wants to outdo demons in evil. So shameful. The Bible instructs us to resist the devil and he will flee.
God gave Adam dominion over all things meaning that Adam was superior to all things including death until he sinned and sin and death began to rule over him.
In the same way Christ has restored our position and made it possible for us to rule over sin and death by His Spirit and grace but a lot of believers still love the flesh and sin. The root cause of false doctrine is impure desires. The more you desire and know the word of God and the Holy Spirit, the more submissive you will be to the will of God but if you do not desire the word and will of God or have just a partial desire to the will and word of God, sin and judgment will have some sort of dominion over you.
False doctrines usually entice people away from the will of God and lead them into idol, self and money worship. The true word of God or healthy doctrine leads us into the will and arms of God not judgement.
If we read from Revelation 2:20 to 26, we will see that Christ told the believers in a Church that lured them to sin with false doctrines that He would rebuke, punish and kill the children of that Church. He also said that He had given them time to repent but they refused. It is not a joke, judgement begins in the house of God.
May we decide today to always pray for truth, deny impure desires and motives and reject false doctrines. May great grace be upon us. May grace, mercy and truth be ours in full measure in Jesus name.

“Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. Revelation 2:24 NKJV)
“But hold fast what you have till I come. “And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations (Revelation 2:25 – 2:26 NKJV)
“Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. (Revelation 2:20 NKJV)
“And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. (Revelation 2:21 NKJV)
“Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. (Revelation 2:22 NKJV)
I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works (Revelation 2:23 NKJV)
Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin (Romans 4:7 – 4:8 ESV)
God has cancelled our sins and forgiven us. He took our punishments, nailed them to the cross and healed us. What then is the problem? Why are we still suffering from past ancestral, parental and personal sins and mistakes. Sins that we have renounced and forsaken. Why?
Our problem is the second cause not the first cause. I hope what I have said is not confusing. We spend all of our time focused on the first cause but the first cause is not the problem. Our past sins and mistakes (which is the origin and first cause of defeat) were swallowed, crushed and cancelled by the blood of Jesus – that word is settled in Heaven forever. Why then is the devil playing football with us and dribbling us? Why is he kicking us around?
He is having an upper hand because of two things:
1. We refuse to be filled with the Holy Spirit
2. Un-repented sins
However, I have realized that most of the time, the main problem is that we are not filled with the Holy Spirit. If we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we will be led by the Holy Spirit and He will reveal the hidden and unconfessed sins that we might not even be aware of. He will reveal hindrances to our prayers.
Confessed, repented sins is not the problem because Jesus bore our sins on the cross. Some people will tell you is it because you do not have faith in the finished work of the cross- wrong. Faith itself is a fruit of the Holy Spirit and it is given. It is in measures and grows by the power of the Holy Spirit. You have faith in Jesus and His blood, that is why you are born again by His Spirit and His precious blood. The real problem is that you are not filled with the Holy Spirit.
Any faith you want to have now, should not be a foundational faith but a faith that takes you to greater heights. A faith that has actions of prayer, thanksgiving, praise, worship, rejoicing in and celebrating Christ’s victory, good deeds, waiting upon the Lords and seeking His face. This kind of faith is the type that leads you to depend on the Holy Spirit alone and be filled and led by Him. Your focus must be on the solution and the fullness of the Holy Spirit is the solution.
If someone pushes you into a deep well by mistake or even on purpose and you are in the well obsessing about how you got into the well and who pushed you into the well, you will never device a solution that will enable you come out of the well. You are defeated and are not being creative anytime you focus on past errors and mistakes.
You can learn lessons from your past mistakes through reflections but you should not dwell in, and live in the past or the cause of your problems. If you are trapped in that well and you focus on the solution, you will eventually plot your way out of that well and know victory. Jesus is our solution and the Holy Spirit is also our solution. Focus on how to be filled with the Holy Spirit and how to have an active working relationship with Him.
We must be forward looking not backward looking. The Holy Spirit is the living word. He is the now and true reality of God. When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you will truly know and experience victory – every knee will bow to Jesus.
I have noticed that when I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I see my afflictions leaving me in the dream. I see myself repelling and throwing up the evil substance causing the affliction. However, if I stop spending time in His presence, waiting upon Him and seeking Him, the Holy Spirit’s life giving presence in me reduces and I leave myself partially unprotected – I get oppressed or afflicted. So, I try to wait upon Him daily and constantly.
Sicknesses are spiritual substances and the presence of God is also a spiritual substance. When He fills us up, every other negative substance must leave and die off. Spirits and demons must also detach themselves from our aura and flee. They cannot remain when God is personality present – I mean when His manifest presence is present. Sicknesses and demons do not give rest but God’s presence gives rest, comfort, help, joy and peace.
The LORD replied, “I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest–everything will be fine for you.” Exodus 33:14 New Living Translation
The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14 NIV
The second cause of our problem is the reason why we are not healed or delivered. The first cause which is past, confessed, sins has been destroyed by the blood of Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross. We need to focus on being filled with the Holy Spirit – our helper, garment and comforter. If we do not need Him God would not have sent Him as a precious gift. We need to partner with Him and not ignore Him.
Those who pay the price by waiting upon the Lord and seeking Him daily for fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit will be refreshed and empowered. They are the ones who will truly taste the fullness of the victory that Jesus purchased for us on the cross by His sacrificial death. We were redeemed so that we can die to sin and be filled with the Holy Spirit. We must never forget that.
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” 1 Peter 2:24
Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?” Exodus 33: 15-16 NIV
For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.” Exodus 33:16
The anointing of the Holy Spirit is a stamp of approval. By anointing you with power and glory, God is saying that you are His messenger and vessel. He is also saying that He is with you and is pleased with you. If we examine the Scriptures above closely, we will see that Moses is saying that God’s manifest presence accompanying them is evidence that they have found grace or favor in His sight.
The anointing shows that God is pleased with the anointed vessel. It is not everyone that can carry God’s manifest presence. God’s anointing is not for those who are selfish, greedy, drunk, covetous and hurtful. It is for the compassionate and selfless.
We cannot have it both ways. It is either we are for God or not for God. We cannot yield our flesh to evil, sin, laziness, idleness, and lukewarmness and expect the miraculous – there is no wisdom in that kind of mentality and those who persist in such error open themselves up to deception and demonic power. We are not greater that our master, Jesus – God requires cleanliness, dedication and purity before His manifest presence can rest upon us.
The LORD replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Exodus 33:14 NIV
The LORD replied, “I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest–everything will be fine for you.” Exodus 33:14 New Living Translation
It is only the vessels of honor who have cleansed themselves that get clothed with the manifest presence of God. Jesus, Moses and Paul were well known vessels of honor. No one can deny that God was very pleased with them. They found favor and grace in God’s sight.
And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17
May we seek to please God always and may God be pleased with us.
And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by My glory. Exodus 29:43
God’s glory sanctifies His temple or tabernacle. When His glory fills up your spirit where He dwells, you will be truly sanctified and made clean. Every grave cloth, garment, demon, sickness, bad habit and bad fruit that followed you from your old life must bow to the name of Jesus. His glory renews your mind by filling it with the word of God.
It is good to receive inner strength from God’s grace, and not by obeying rules about foods; those who obey these rules have not been helped by them. Hebrews 13:9
Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them. (Hebrews 13:9 NKJV)
When His manifest presence grows and fills you up, you will be given the ability to retain and understand the word of God. It is the Holy Spirit that sanctifies us through the power of God and the word of God. Strength comes from the grace of God. His grace establishes us and His glory is His grace. Man’s power is of no use at all.
May His glory fill us up and sanctify us completely as we seek His face and wait upon Him daily in Jesus name.
I was in a trance, in the early hours of this morning, and the glory of God came down and manifested in form of cloud. The Lord spoke to me and said, “ it is not wise to reject God.” The Lord’s message was about believers rejecting the fullness of the Holy Spirit. He has been training me on how to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is a Scriptural command from God, however, a lot of believers overlook and ignore this holy command.
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18
Unbelievers reject God completely and believers also reject God but in a different form. It is a subtle, unsuspecting and partial rejection of God. Whenever we refuse to be filled with the Holy Spirit, we are rejecting God. Our hearts are His temple and He eagerly wants to live there in His fullness and all of His glory.
He is constantly knocking at the door of our hearts, for us to open up our hearts, so that He can live there in His fullness, by filling our hearts with His life blood and manifest presence. He wants us to eat with us. Eating signifies fellowship and deep intimacy. He wants to eat with us and He also wants us to eat Him and drink Him. To eat Him and drink Him means to experience and taste His glory or manifest presence.
Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. Revelations 3:20
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
Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. John 6:53
Believers think that the fullness of the Holy Spirit is not important or that chasing after faith will improvise. Faith, hope and love come from the Holy Spirit so they are fruits, products and works of the Holy Spirit. They come through levels of grace given by God and are supernatural works of His grace. They can never replace the Holy Spirit who is the giver. We are called to chase and pursue the bridegroom not the presents or gifts. The more He filled us up, the more fruits that we will manifest.
When we reject the fullness of the Holy Spirit, we reject the fullness of His fruits and products. We leave ourselves unprotected and can be subject to afflictions. He is our life, provider, healing and protection. He is the miracle giver and wonder working God. Without Him, we can do nothing. It is great wisdom for us to realize this and never be distracted by shadows and subtle deceptions. We must stop chasing the wind and chase after God. He alone is worthy.
When Jesus told the woman with the issue of blood that her faith made her whole it was her faith in God and the anointing that He was manifesting through Jesus. It was not her faith in her own faith. She never read all the thousands of books on faith that people read today. It was a simple childlike faith. She saw a Prophet of God who was highly anointed by God and said, “if I touch His garment, I will be made whole.”
Her faith was in the power that Jesus carried with Him. That power is the manifest presence of God. Faith must be in something. People want to twist that Scripture around and make it look like her faith alone saved her like some god. No, it was not her faith alone, it was her faith in the power of God not her faith in her faith. Biblical faith is faith in God and His power.
Jesus replied, “You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. Matthew 22:29 NIV
Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God. Matthew 22:29 New Living Translation
Knowing the Scriptures is different from knowing the power of God. True knowledge of the Scripture leads you to know or experience the power of God. Head knowledge of Scripture is different from knowing the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Those who have head knowledge of the Scripture but do not know the power of God do not have their spiritual equations right. Their equation has not balanced and they must make it their aim to balance the ultimate spiritual equation – your knowledge of Scriptures must lead to knowledge and reality of the power of God. Anything else is subtle deception introduced by the devil to confuse us and cheat us of our birthright which is the fullness of the Holy Spirit.
It is His manifest presence that makes us whole not faith. Our faith should be in His manifest presence. The anointing breaks the yoke. It is not by power or might but by His Spirit. When you start believing that your faith makes you whole, you start developing faith in your faith and begin to depend on your faith. Your faith then turns into an idol. However, if you believe that the manifest presence of God alone makes you whole, you begin to depend on that manifest presence and your faith in Him and His power grows. It is that faith what will motivate you to constantly seek His face for the fullness of the Holy Spirit, and His daily infilling.
The right conviction leads to action that yields positive result. That result is the fullness of the Holy Spirit. If you are not seeking the fullness of the Holy Spirit aggressively, begin to review what you believe. The violent take the Kingdom of God by force and the manifest presence of God is the Kingdom of God. That kingdom of God is within us and we must be filled with His glory.
May we always seek the Lord’s face and wait upon Him daily for fresh and constant infilling of His Holy Spirit. May we always be led by Him and hear His divine counsels.
But I will use my power and will punish Egypt by doing terrifying things there. After that he will let you go. Exodus 3:20
Some humans will never release their slaves and prey except God steps in to intervene with His mighty, glorious power. We must never look down on the power of the Lord. Pharaoh is a typical example – He was stubborn until God’s power overcame his own power.
And I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD. Exodus 12:12
Humans who have captured other humans as spiritual or physical slaves exploit and benefit from their slaves. They never willingly let go because they do not want to loose the gains that they obtain from their wicked exploits. When God steps in with His mighty power to execute judgement on slave masters and their gods they will have no choice but to release their victims.
Never pity your slave master or Pharaoh whether physical or spiritual. Love them but do not pity them for the sake of remaining their slaves. When you do that, you become like the kidnap victims who end up falling in love with their captors even when their captors mean them serious harm. That is a form of self harm. Love your enemies, but do not remain their slaves. Fight for your freedom. Pray for deliverance and God will use His power to defeat your enemies and exploiters.
