Waiting upon the Lord and seeking God’s face is very important. Jesus constantly prayed and waited upon the Lord. Jesus said that without Him, we can do nothing and that man’s power is of no use at all. Constantly waiting upon the Lord is the way to grow in grace, and become all that God wants you to be in Christ Jesus.
Benefits Of Waiting Upon The Lord And Seeking His face
You renew your strength “But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.” ~ Isaiah 40:31
You will taste God’s goodness, love and mercy Psalm 27:13-14 says, “I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. ~ Lamentations 3:25
You will be constantly filled with the Holy Spirit
You will have the fruits of the Holy Spirit
You will have the gifts of the Holy Spirit
You will be spiritually alive and wake
You will hear God’s voice and be led by His Spirit
You will be empowered to resist temptation
You will be transformed from glory to glory
You will be sanctified by His grace
You position yourself for constant victory
You grow spiritually and get to maturity
God will fight for you and defeat your enemies and spiritual giants and mountains From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him. ~ Isaiah 64:4
You receive answers to your prayers that in line with God’s will But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. ~ Matthew 6:33
You will have greater understanding and deeper revelation of the word of God.
In 2 Timothy 2:7 Timothy says we should meditate and God will enable us to understand. “Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this,” and in Ephesians 1:17, Paul prayed for believers to have the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ. A combination of Bible study, meditation and prayer will bear the fruit of understanding. It is God that causes the plant or word to grow. “So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who causes the plant to grow.” 1 Corinthians 3:7
So, if you really desire to constantly experience God’s glory, love, goodness and mercy set aside time to wait upon the Lord. The more you wait for God and seek His face, the more grace, glory and understanding that you will have.
Evil thoughts will occur however, it is how we handle them that matters. Remember that Jesus said to Peter, ” Get behind me Satan.” Jesus was able to recognize that what Peter was saying originated from the devil. Peter himself was not even aware that he was passing across Satan’s thoughts.
The devil always tries to make us disobey God and go against God’s will and His plan for our lives by flashing his own thoughts across our minds. Learn to recognize Satan’s thoughts the way that Jesus did, and aggressively reject them.
Know the word of God thoroughly like the Berean believers
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
Be constantly led by the Spirit, like Jesus and know God’s plan for your life

There are enemies that Satan will inject into your life to frustrate and discourage your vision and destiny
Saul was used by the enemy to frustrate and fight David’s destiny and life
Ultimately, the enemy wants to end someone’s life so as to cut off that destiny. That is the most effective way that the enemy destroys destiny. It is a very simple logic – end the life and end the destiny.
So be aware and fight like a lion. Some people died prematurely, without fulfilling destiny because the enemy beat them to it.
Sometimes, it is not about some great sin that you, your parents, or ancestors committed. Sometimes it’s just the enemy vowing to stop a great destiny. That is why you must always hear from God concerning the root cause of your problem. If the enemy has vowed to stop your destiny, vow to stop the enemy and be victorious.
Pharoah vowed to stop the Israelites and held them in captivity
Moses was saved and not killed with the Hebrew children and a great destiny was saved.
Herod vowed to kill Jesus as a baby, before He could even grow up, but God saved Jesus.
Identify the obstacles and enemies to your destiny and aggressively defeat them by prayer and actions
Jesus made sure that He finished His work. We should too.

If you want to achieve something different, you have to do something different. Do not be the average, mediocre Christian who compromises and follows the patterns of this world. Set yourself apart as fully committed to Christ and His word.
Start acting, start doing. It is in acting and doing that God will bless you. Without acting and doing, you deceive yourself. It is the work of your hands that God will bless not idleness. God does not encourage or reward bad behavior, so, stop being idle and lazy if you have formed that habit. Habits can be broken.
You need to help yourself and God will supply the grace as you pray and desire change. If you have decided that you will not train and equip yourself for success, what do you want God to do? Will He come down from heaven and do what you are supposed to do for yourself?
If you keep on reading and watching things about relationship and marriage, yet you lack the necessary skills to sustain a marriage what do you want God to do?
If you are always criticizing, judging, and blaming your spouse to the point of stifling his or her emotions and causing harm to their emotional health which will in turn damage their physical health, you only have yourself to blame for the failure of your relationship. Train and equip yourself for spiritual, mental, health, financial and marital success.
You need to make effort to know and apply the skills that will make you excel in what God has called you to do and in the relationships that God has placed you in.
If you want to achieve something different, do something different and improve yourself in skills that you lack. Also make sure that you do and act. Too much reading without application won’t help you. Wisdom is the right application of knowledge. Get knowledge by reading, listening and watching and also have the wisdom to apply the knowledge that you acquired.
Some people read the Bible all day but do not know how to apply it or act on it. They hardly pray. They do not have passion or desire to obey the word that they have read. So, if you want to be different, start acting differently today. Faith gives birth to action. Read your Bible and also act on it. Do not just say Lord, Lord but also walk in the will of God.
Do not spend too much time on YouTube and social media except you are using it to learn academic, educational or creative work that you can use to improve yourself and make money. You can spend time on YouTube and social media for entertainment, inspiration or other things if you like, but not too much time. More of the time you spend on Youtube should be on educational, academic or creative content. Spend more time being active and working. If you run out of money, those blogs, shows and entertainment content that you watch won’t pay your bills. Too much play is not good, and all work and no play is also not good. Be balanced and wise in all that you do including the way you manage your time on social media.
Also, put on the complete armor of God and pray without ceasing. Pay the price! There is no short cut to holiness and financial success.

Faith is all about understanding, sight and vision
Believe that God has redeemed you
Stand on it
Rejoice in it
Faith is an armor of God
Your faith needs to be mature
Your faith needs to be perfect and complete lacking nothing
If your faith is weak and not mature, it will give the enemy an upper hand in your life
You need the complete armor of God
You need complete faith and complete love
Faith expresses itself through love of God and man
Love of God means complete understanding about God, His nature and His works and celebrating Him for His great love in the sacrifice of Jesus. It also means obeying God through understanding and knowledge and not obeying man made doctrines that contradict His word.
Love of God also means loving others
Without faith it is impossible to please God, so just remember that faith is also part of being in the perfect will of God

When you walk in the Spirit, He shows you His secrets.”
You need God’s secret to be constantly victorious
If you want to fulfil your destiny, you need God’s secrets
Example
If you have a spiritual attack, you can recover by applying God’s secrets
Immediately you experience a spiritual attack, get up and start praying. Pray for God’s presence to cleanse you, protect you and destroy the root where its coming from.
Pray until the fire, glory and presence of God, dissolves any spiritual weapon, arrow or poison that has gone in or settled in you through the attack. Do not let that weapon, evil plant or poison take root by not praying immediately.
It is better to pray immediately however if you were careless and did not pray immediately, you can still kick that weapon or poison out by praying down the glory and fire of God. God can manifest His deliverance ands healing anytime you cry to Him for help.
If something evil or a spiritual poison has gone into you, start praying immediately it goes in
Begin to worship the Lord and seek His face. Soak in God’s presence in the place of communion, fellowship, and intimacy.
If you have already mastered how to feel the presence of God, and hear His voice, keep waiting upon the Lord, until you begin to hear Him, and feel His presence. His presence washes away evil. If you do not hear the Holy Spirit or feel His presence, ask Him to reveal the obstacles to you. Find out from the Holy Spirit what is making you not to be filled with the Holy Spirit and why you don’t hear His voice. You can only obtain this answer by constantly reading the word, meditating on it and praying. You also need the fruits and gifts of the Spirit.
For example, know God’s secret concerning deliverance and marriage
There was a time that I got an attack from agents of darkness who are constantly angry with me for the work that I am doing. They are fighting the Holy Ghost, and they do that by fighting me. Their anger is that I am taking people away from their kingdom. They also hate the secrets that I am revealing to you. They hate the word of God – the undiluted, pure truth of the gospel not the watered-down gospel. If you present a watered-down version of the word, that leaves people in darkness, you are not a threat to the kingdom of darkness.
Sometimes, I get threats for praying for people, and I hear the powers that are behind the persons problems and captivity telling me to mind my business. There was a time I was ministering to someone, and after the ministration, I heard them saying “Madam mind your business, madam, mind your business.” The voice was very harsh. The person I was ministering to had a relationship problem. The spirits did not want her to get married. The Lord then spoke to me and said, “do not pay any attention to them.” The kingdom of darkness hates the family unit.
There are anti-marriage spirits that do not want people to get married. It was the Lord that told me about anti marriage spirits. Spirit husband and wives are antimarriage spirits or demons. Those demons exist because of oaths and covenants that people took on your behalf.
When you pray to God to manifest your God ordained spouse, and you get married, has the spell not been broken by God Himself? Be result oriented, purpose driven, and solution driven. Stop focusing on demons and the works of demons. Focus on the solution.
Some people are so superstitions, that they think spirit husband and wives are real husbands and wives. No – they are anti-marriage demons and spirits. Break the spell and get married. If the objective of something is to make you not get married, then you need God’s favour to intervene and manifest your godly spouse.
The solution to spirit husband and wife is to be result oriented, solution driven, and purpose driven until God manifests your God ordained spouse. Keep praying and pray without ceasing. God is a bondage breaker. It is only God that can manifest your God ordained spouse. You cannot do it by your own power. It is deliverance from God.
If a spirit of infirmity is on you, it is only logical that when you pray for healing and go to hospital and you get healed, you have defeated that particular illness. Same thing with marriage. If there is an anti-marriage spirit disturbing you, then focus on praying to God for the very thing that that spirit is fighting against and taking away from you.
Anti-marriage spirit means that your marital life was sacrificed. God never created anyone with spirit husband or wife. For some people, it is only their marital life that was sacrificed, while for some people everything was sacrificed – their marriage, finances, health even social life. Beloved of the Lord, pray, pray. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil, including evil covenants and curses. God is greater and more than able. Once God breaks the spell and gives you a spouse, then you have defeated the anti-marriage spirit.
Be in the perfect will of God concerning marriage, and you will have peace in your marital life. There is no complete peace and harmony in a wrong marriage, that is outside God’s will. Did Samson have peace with Delilah in an ungodly relationship? This is a divine secret. You need revealed secrets. These are part of God’s secrets concerning deliverance.
Pray for God to manifest your God ordained spouse who will keep praying together with you. Pray for God to take you into His perfect will and this includes His perfect will concerning marriage. In God’s perfect will, there are no curses and covenants. In God’s perfect will, you and your spouse will pray without ceasing. You be constantly filled and led by the Spirit. You will both have the fruits and gifts of the Spirit and God will sustain and protect your marriage, as you both walk in His will and strive to fulfil destiny.
In a godly marriage you and your spouse should make a decision to always put God first and seek His will rather than selfishness. When you have both put God, first, it is not rocket science that as you put God’s will first and reject selfishness, there will be peace and harmony.
There is no place for spirit husband or wife or the devil and destruction in the perfect will of God. Let the devil have nothing in you. Prayerlessness is of the devil and obstacles to answered prayer is of the devil. Prayerlessness is sin, and living in obstacles to answered prayer is sin because they prevent godly solutions and deliverance. God is passionate about deliverance and destroying the works of the devil. He is our deliverer.
In God’s perfect will, you and your spouse will partner to complete your God ordained assignment and destiny. In God’s perfect will, you will be mature and manifest as sons of God and do exploits.
There was a time the Lord appeared to me and told me certain things about Heaven. He told me that there is no marriage in heaven and that marriage on earth is about partnership, to fulfil a divine destiny. That is why you must marry in the Spirit and not in the flesh. If you want to fulfil your divine assignment, make sure that the spouse you choose, is chosen by the direction and approval of God.
God is your father – do not marry outside God’s approval. Do not marry a marine agent, in the name of lust and the flesh. Some worldly ministers did that, and are still doing that, to their own peril. I have heard a lot of things, and a lot of regrets and lamentations. Be proactive and avoid costly mistakes.
There are real life case studies and Biblical case studies. Samson was not married to Delilah, but his mistake in an ungodly relationship which ended up ruining his life and destiny, is a Biblical case study of a wrong partnership. A dysfunctional, toxic relationship. An unhealthy love. God’s approval was not in that relationship, so Samson suffered pain, and eventually, death. Delilah was not of God, but Samson was of God. Do not tie yourself to someone that is not of God. Do not marry another person’s wife and husband.
I know people who did that, and they are the ones that told me their stories. They lived to regret. They were driven by lust, and the flesh and not God or the Holy Spirit. Let the Spirit lead you, so that you will not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
You were not created to fulfil your own pleasures, but to complete a godly assignment with your God ordained spouse. Be spiritual men and women. Stop letting emotions, feelings and poor judgement rule your head and intellect. Let the Holy spirit lead and rule you. Let him be your boss, Lord and Master.
Let the Holy spirit rule your intelligence, rather than emotions, lusts, and feelings ruling your intelligence. Your head must rule your heart because your heart, emotions and feelings are blind and cannot think. Submit your head, mind and will to the leadership of Christ for Him to transform, then let the transformed mind rule your intelligence.
Those of you that are still young, and those who are still praying for a spouses must make sure you marry right to avoid regret, sorrow, and bitterness. Make sure you constantly walk in the Spirit. Do not behave like the world. You are in the world, but not of the world. You need your father God in marriage decisions.
You need your father God, to approve your marriage decisions. God knows what you don’t know and sees what you don’t see. He looks at the heart. You need the Holy Spirit to lead you in choosing the right partner so that you can fulfil a godly partnership, assignment and destiny. Stop sampling woman and walking in the flesh. When you break hearts, you attract God’s judgement.
The reason why I am bringing this up is that problems are real. Deliverance cases are real and there are strongmen that are behind problems, and you need to bind and neutralize those strong men by the power of the Holy spirit. There is no place for the flesh in this battle. Man’s power is of no use at all. Without Christ, you can do nothing.
So, when a weapon that has been fashioned by the enemy penetrates your aura, do not let it prosper. This is another secret. There was a time that the enemies that are fighting my ministry and the work of God attacked me. Immediately, the Lord spoke to me and said, “Make sure you do not let that thing you saw, come to pass.’ Then I got up and prayed and within a while, I felt the presence of God, and He came down and neutralized the attack and weapon. That weapon was an evil spirit sent by enemies of the gospel. The Lord spoke to me and said, “it was sent.”
Because I am a deliverance minister and evangelist, they are constantly waiting for me to misbehave spiritually, or not be watchful in prayer. They wait for me to be spiritually irresponsible. I constantly pray for grace, and when I miss it, I quickly apologize to God and retrace my steps. Only God’s grace can help me, and only God’s grace can help you.
So, what I am encouraging you to do is never let an evil attack or weapon come to pass. Sometimes I am so busy with work, that I end up disobeying the Lord’s command to not let an attack I saw maybe in dream or vision come to pass. Ultimately, your prayer disposition and posture will determine if an attack comes to pass. Prayer and faith attract the presence of God and God’s power and presence heals, cleanses and restores.
When I do not follow God’s instruction, I will begin to see that attack manifest inform of illness or something bad. At that point in time, it is not too late. I then begin to pray, and the Holy Ghost will come upon me, and I will exhale or expel it. The sickness or evil will leave.
It will leave if we are not walking in unconscious sins, and obstacles to answered prayers. If there is a landing ground for that evil, it gets difficult for it to leave so that is why I always emphasize holiness and purity. Sin is not your friend and worldliness is not your friend. They hinder prayers.
In summary make sure that when you see an attack in the dream, you pray until the Holy Spirit fills you up and cleanses you, to remove any unclean thing planted in you. Also pray until His glory surrounds you. Also pray for God to destroy the root where the attack is coming from.
If the attack, arrow, evil or weapon has already taken root and is manifesting gradually, set aside time and wait upon the Lord and seek His face. Continue until you feel His presence come upon you, and you cast out, and expunge that evil thing or spiritual poison from your system. These are some of God’s secrets that you need to know in a practical way.
May God teach you His word and always lead you
May He make you complete by the blood of Jesus
May the Lord be your glory and the lifter of your head
May He be your strong tower and keeper
I cover you with the Holy Ghost fire and the blood of Jesus
Evil thoughts will occur however, it is how we handle them that matters. Remember that Jesus said to Peter, " Get behind me Satan." Jesus was able to recognize that what Peter was saying originated from the devil. Peter himself was not even aware that he was passing across Satan’s thoughts.

Giants are stubborn and persistent problems that have the potential to overwhelm you
Do not see that thing as a giant. See that problem as little before God. Do not entertain any form of evil report that magnifies that problem
Numbers 13:30-33
Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” 32And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. 33There we saw the [h]giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like[i] grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”
Do not compare your problem to yourself and self power. Compare your problem to God and His power.
See the greatness of God, and the littleness of your problem
Stop imagining yourself as very weak and inferior to anything that overwhelms you. The people who brought the evil report said, “and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.” How did they enter the minds of those people to know what they were thinking? Stop entertaining fear and stop spreading fear. Stop partnering with fear. Fear is not a fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Be anxious for nothing. Do not pray with worry, fear and anxiety. Pray with faith, boldness and calmness.
Hebrews 4:16
Therefore, we should come with boldness to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.
Wait for God’s timing. Most of the time, the answer does not come immediately. Be patient and persist because patience is an attribute of faith. Daniel kept praying
Thank God in advance. Jesus said, “father I thank you because you always hear me.” Believe that God will perform His word and manifest His covenant of mercy
Keep away from sin. Stop romancing sin. Sin hinders prayers. Keep away from other obstacles to answered prayers
Evil thoughts will occur however, it is how we handle them that matters. Remember that Jesus said to Peter, " Get behind me Satan." Jesus was able to recognize that what Peter was saying originated from the devil. Peter himself was not even aware that he was passing across Satan’s thoughts.

Always ask the Lord for what you need. If you do not ask, you will not receive.
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
James 4:2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
Sometimes, the Lord speaks to me and gives me prayer points. He tells me exactly what I should ask Him for. He knows how to hit and destroy problems from the root. You need to pray right with God.
You need to ask for what you need. Never take it for granted that God knows your needs, so you don’t need to ask and express yourself.
Jesus Himself prayed to God, and asked Him for what He needed. Learn how to talk with God and communicate with Him. It gives Him joy and pleasure when you approach Him with your requests.
Psalm 141:2 says, “May my prayer be set before you like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening sacrifice.”
Your prayer and petition is an offering to God. Never forget that. Your prayer needs to rise like incense and be inhaled by God. Let your prayers enter God’s ears. Persist. Get rid of obstacles to answered prayers.
Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
Delight In God. Seek His Face
Job 22:26 Surely then you will delight in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.
Job 27:10 Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
God wants you to call upon Him at all times. He wants you to pray continually and without ceasing. Jesus was a man of prayer. If Jesus needed to constantly pray and seek God’s face, you also need to do the same.
Prayer can become sweet when you get to know God, our father, intimately. Form a habit of constant prayer. It is only prayer combined with the weapons of our warfare and the complete Armor of God that will lift you up, into spiritual maturity and victory. By prayer you defeat Pharaohs, mountains, and giants.
Read your Bible, hear from The Holy Spirit, put on the complete Armor of God, and pray without ceasing. Delight in God and thank Him at all times. Rejoice in the Lord and celebrate Him. Let your countenance be right when you go into prayer. Get rid of worry and anxiety, and replace them with prayer, waiting upon the Lord and seeking His face. Psalm 21:2 You have granted his heart’s desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.
God wants to grant you the desires of your heart and give you the request of your lips, However, will you persist and persevere like the persistent widow? Will you cling to God’s promise like Abraham, or will you faint and give up? Determine to fight till the end. God loves it when we fight in the place of prayer. God is a warrior, and He wants us to be warriors like Him. He is training our fingers to fight and make war. Make war spiritually. The war is fought and won in the spirit world. Live above sin, worldliness, and prayerlessness.
Psalm 81:10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt. Open wide your mouth, and I will fill it.
Open your mouth wide and begin to pray and fight. Your birth right is deliverance. Go to God with your desires and petitions. Pray for the Holy Ghost fire and presence to fill you, surround you, and consume your enemies and problems from the root.
Just last night I was praying, and the Lord spoke to me twice at night, and instructed me to go offensive. Offensive means asking the Holy Ghost to consume your enemies with His glory, fire, or presence.
To go offensive means asking God, to consume the powers fighting you. For many years, He has been teaching me, and emphasizing the importance of fighting from the offensive angle, rather than constantly dodging bullets, arrows and weapons and being on the defensive.
Take the problem and tackle your enemies from the root. If there are weapons and arrows constantly coming your way, and you do not neutralize where the weapons are taking off from, you will not know victory, but once you destroy the root, you will have victory. Constantly pray for God to destroy the roots of your problem. Some problems have several roots, and those roots can be pharaohs, and satanic priests and priestesses.
The weapons, bullets and arrows are demons. The weapons of your enemy are their idols, gods, and powers. Pharaohs spiritual weapon was his gods. God said in Exodus 12:12
“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.
Remember that Moses’s snake swallowed Pharaoh’s snake. Jehovah Himself swallowed the gods of the Egyptians and rendered them powerless.
You need God to execute judgement against the gods of your enemies. Pray for God to execute judgment on the gods of your enemies, but don’t stop there. Remember that God also dealt with Pharoah. Pray for God to defeat stubborn pharaohs, sending gods and idols to attack and harm you.
Some people have hardened their hearts like Pharaoh, and you don’t need to die for them. The Israelites were delivered, so God wants to deliver you. If a human being has partnered with demons, and have vowed to destroy you, and your destiny, it is not your fault and it is not God’s fault. Pray for deliverance.
Let God consume those who are stubborn and unrepentant and have vowed that it is only over their dead body that you can live and have peace. They have taken oats of no repentance and oats of no retreat no surrender. That is not your fault. They will fight till their last breath.
Saul kept trying to kill David until his last breath. David cried and was in pain when Saul died. Very sad, but David could not change Saul’s heart from wanting to harm him and eliminate him. Life is indeed a mystery. Some humans have vowed that their only happiness and joy, is when other humans are in pain, and slavery and are destroyed, just like how Pharaoh determined to keep the Israelites in slavery and captivity.
The more you try to negotiate with them to release you, the harder and more stubborn they became, just like pharaoh. God kept sending Moses to Pharoah to make him see sense, and release the Israelites, but he was stubborn and refused. You cannot negotiate with spiritual and physical terrorists.
So, a human pharaoh can take an oat to keep sending demons and evil your way, until you stop that Pharoah. Only the power of God can stop someone, that is a Pharaoh in your life. Pharoah vowed to keep the Israelites in captivity and slavery. Some humans with flesh like you, have vowed to keep some believers in spiritual slavery and captivity.
They love their power and your pain, and will never stop until God stops them. Life is indeed a mystery. Pray, pray, pray. Pray to God to defeat and consume your problem from the root. That is how to be on the offensive.
When you are on the defensive, the demons of the Pharaoh in your life, will keep tearing your protection and keep penetrating your inner man to plant weapons, demons, illnesses, and problems. However, when you are constantly on the offensive, together with your defensive and protective armour, the human priests and pharaohs will be on the run.
They will run away from the fire of God because they don’t want to be consumed by the fire of God. Many years ago, the Lord spoke to me and said, “it is only fire that they are afraid of.” Evil people and people with demonic powers, are only afraid of the fire of God. Use the fire of God to defeat them and stop them from destroying your life and destiny.
So, present your petitions to God and make sure that you apply both the offensive and protective weapons and armour. Let your armour and weapon be complete, let the Holy Ghost fire fill you up, surround your aura, and consume your enemies. Plant the Lord, enough in your aura and fight, in the place of prayer. War is fought and won by the Lion hearted and warriors. Be a spiritual warrior.
May the Lord help you, and defeat every Pharaoh, mountain and giant fighting your life.
May the Lord bless you and keep you, in JESUS name.
Evil thoughts will occur however, it is how we handle them that matters. Remember that Jesus said to Peter, " Get behind me Satan." Jesus was able to recognize that what Peter was saying originated from the devil. Peter himself was not even aware that he was passing across Satan’s thoughts.
The devil always tries to make us disobey God and go against God’s will and His plan for our lives by flashing his own thoughts across our minds. Learn to recognize Satan’s thoughts the way that Jesus did, and aggressively reject them.
1. Know the word of God thoroughly like the Berean believers
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
2. Be constantly led by the Spirit, like Jesus and know God’s plan for your life

Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?
Hebrews 12:7
It is not always going to be easy. A lot of people get shocked, because they became believers and life got more difficult mmm. So, let’s look at the word of God.
John 16:33 says, “ have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
John 15:20 says, “Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.”
It is just what it is. Believers will experience purification and trials. Jesus said that the branches in him that bear fruit, the Father will prune, so that they can bear more fruit.
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. John 15:2
Remember He cursed the fig tree that did not bear fruit. He is merciful to us and not cursing us – He is simply pruning and refining us. They are meant to train us. The way of Christ and the word of God is a narrow way. It is not easy.
We are in the world but not of the world. Some days ago, the Lord spoke to me and said, “the devil pampers his own in order to take them to hell.” Also, in a vision the Lord revealed certain mysteries to me about believers and the kingdom of Heaven.
If I reveal this secret in it’s raw form, a lot of believers won’t be able to understand or comprehend it. Sometimes, when people do not understand a revelation or message, they get abusive. There were certain mysteries that were shown to Paul, that Paul said he could not utter.
All I can say is that the Lord told me that believers are not of this world. We are from heaven and belong to heaven. He told me that Heaven is an ancient Kingdom that has always existed, and He told me other things about life in heaven and its structure, but the part that I want to bring out is that He said that the world hates us, because we are not of this world. That is what He said.
The hatred is real and tangible and the world and the devil stives to harm, hurt and eliminate us. They do this simply because of where we come from. Our origin is of God.
Do not be disturbed when you pass through trials and hardship. Simply commit yourself to God and keep praying for help. Also, be trainable, and climb higher in Christ. If you do not strive to get to maturity and sonship, those trials will keep coming.
Determine to constantly pass your tests and respond right during discipline and correction. If the Lord does not correct you, you will go astray.
A long time ago the Lord said to me, “believers are always complaining about what they are going through, but they do not realise that without those things, some of them would have abandoned the faith a long time ago.”
Cling to God when you go through hardship.
Keep praying for help and restoration. Don’t let go. Don’t let go of your faith. Keep moving.
Let your faith carry you through and persevere. Persist, in the place of prayer because the victory is won through prayer and faith with the complete armour of God.
Hardship is not easy at all to endure. It devastates and traumatizes but in Christ, it will not traumatize you, if you have the right mindset.
That is why this word in Hebrews 12:7 is telling you to look at hardship as discipline from God so that you won’t be bitter
Verses 8 to 11 says,“If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.”
It is important to note that this scripture is not talking about inherited curses and covenants or sickness that you were born with. When I was in the Catholic Church, we were trained to look at every bad thing as cross from God, yet we go to hospital to get treatment for so called cross from God. This defeats the law of logic and clear thoughts, and is a contradiction.
We were trained to see evil as God’s will. God’s permissive will is not God’s will. He permits those things because of man’s rebellious will. When man goes astray, God allows man and later, sin gives birth to death. Remember that death gets its power from the law.
It is our unwillingness to submit to the word of God, championed by human priests that play God and offer sacrifices to demons, that pollutes this earth. The Lord revealed to me that human priests are the root of the problems on this earth, because they constantly offer human sacrifices to death and the grave. Human will is the problem not God’s will.
The same people who sacrifice people to death are the ones telling you that your cross is from God. The heart of man is infinitely wicked and deceitful.
Your cross is mostly from human priests. Some curses are the result of ancestral, parental, and personal sin, but majority are from human priests. Think of children born blind or with terminal illnesses.
It is not God. God is our saviour and deliverer. Man unites with the devil to destroy, so man creates the cross and evil, not God. God does not do evil or delight in evil. God is not the source of any cross that anybody is carrying, including temptations and trials. They all come from the fallen nature of man.
So, we need to correct ourselves and seek the face of God when we are in God’s permissive will, and the devil gets an upper hand over us. It’s of no use yielding to evil, and saying you are carrying your cross – the cross that Jesus already carried. Don’t submit to evil, reject it, and cut it out from the root where sin dwells.
Your own cross is to deny self, crucify the flesh, resist the devil, and submit your will completely to God’s will, so that the devil will have nothing in you.
If you are sick, go to the hospital and keep praying to God for healing. The apostles experienced hardship but they were not crippled by sickness. Sickness and ancestral curses can stop you from fulfilling your destiny, so this Scripture is not about sickness and ancestral curses. The Bible says that if you are sick you should go to the elders of the Church for them to pray for you. Also, go to hospital.
God who can use any experience to train you. God can use your unpleasant experience to train you, that is, if you are trainable. Some people do not know how to respond right with God. They fail the same test and trial over and over again, simply because they are not responding right. That makes them get stuck in one place.
The Bible says that tests and trials happen, so that our faith which is very precious to can be as pure as gold. So, if we are not mature and our faith is not pure or perfected to bear fruit, we face trial. Jesus said to Peter in
Luke 22:31 “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat.”
If we do not grow to the full stature of Christ and are not of full age spiritually, tests and trials will definitely come. If we endure and respond right and pass the test, then we emerge victorious. Some believers get chastened, disciplined, and tested, yet they repeat the same mistakes. They experience set back. They must undergo the same examinations and trials again. So, our mindset should be the mind set of changing and responding right with God, and constant growth in biblical understanding, wisdom, and knowledge.
Christ and God’s will should be our first love. When we get to that place where our faith is pure as gold and we live above the flesh, then there won’t be need for testing, discipline, trials and chastening again. That will be the time to manifest as sons of God.
There is a place that God wants us to get to in Christ, and if we don’t get there, whether we like it or not, the devil will get upper hand over us, and harass us because he has something that he is using to accuse us before God. Let the devil have nothing in you like he had nothing in Jesus our Master.
Do not let the devil constantly outsmart you. Put on the complete Armor of God and the whole counsel of the word of God and outsmart the devil. Give him a technical knockout by constantly walking in the complete word of God and being led by the Spirit.
As long as, we are focused on walking in the word, and in the Spirit, and responding right with God, the hardships we face will purify us, and take us to a place of glory.
May God, make you complete by the blood of Jesus
May He purify you completely
May the Lord be your glory and the lifter of your head
May He crown you with His presence May the Lord bless you, and keep you.
Evil thoughts will occur however, it is how we handle them that matters. Remember that Jesus said to Peter, " Get behind me Satan." Jesus was able to recognize that what Peter was saying originated from the devil. Peter himself was not even aware that he was passing across Satan’s thoughts.

Pleaser of God Not Men – Get Rid of The Delilah’s In Your Life
Galatians 1:10
For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
I have actually found out that one of the enemy’s greatest tools and deceptions is to make you idolize men and people. Proverbs 29:25 says, Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the LORD means safety.
You find yourself constantly wanting to please men at all cost. At the cost of grieving the Holy Spirit. That is why the Bible tells us that Jesus should be our first love and Jesus himself said we should love Him more others.
Matthew 10:37 says,
“Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Any relationship that you are involved in that makes you constantly disobey God, is a snare to you. You need to make up your mind to obey and love God more than man and men. A lot of people want to become celebrities to be celebrated by men. They seek fame to be worshipped and in their quest for fame, they get initiated into all types and manner of cults.
There is a female so called celebrity that the Lord showed me in a vision. She was very angry and was even angry at me and was trying to attack me in that anger, but the Lord protected me. She screamed at me, “look! Look at what they did to me! See what they turned me into!” She was dead. She showed me her teeth and her teeth was made up of different evil colors and weapons with sharp hooks that she uses in eating people up.
When I came out of that vision, I realized even though that she is famous on earth but in her quest for fame, she died. She sold her soul to the devil and lost everything and is waiting to be thrown into the lake of fire but men and women are still worshipping her as role models. Some people are on earth physically, but are already living with the dead in the world of the dead. Their presence here on earth deceives people, and they are laughing at humans that worship them because they are already with the dead, in the grave but are physically alive.
I heard a young woman say recently, that the dead female celebrity I motioned is her role model. This young woman is in serious trouble now as we speak. A lot of bad things happened to her. When you idolize these demonic celebrities, they have access to your life. They deposit evil into your life and it is your fault because idolizing them is worship of the devil because the devil is the father of lies, and worshipping a human being is a lie and a great deception.
Jesus should be our role model. Whoever is your role model is who you idolize.
Your quest to be loved, admired and adored can destroy you completely.
In you quest to please the people you love, do not grieve the holy Spirit. Sometimes situations will arise that will make you obey man and disobey God and that man might be the person that you love so much, more than God.
Acts 5:29
But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
John 12:43
for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.
You will definitely come into testing and temptation in this area. When you discover that there is a dilemma and conflict between pleasing a loved one and God, never throw God away, for that person and choose to please the person, and displease God. God has trained me in this area.
There was a time the Lord spoke to me and said to me , “there is someone you love more than me.” I did not understand this message, and I kept searching my heart to find out who that person was. The Lord spoke again, and said to me, “human idol, human idol.” I still did not understand the message.
Eventually, certain situations happened that revealed this condition of my heart, that I was not even aware of. Then the Lord spoke to me and told me that I had turned this person, that was so dear to me into an idol. When the Lord said it, I did not doubt what he said. I repented.
Search your hearts and your relationships to make sure that there are no human idols there. God does not like it and it will limit your ability to manifest the glory of God. You will not have the level of glory and anointing that you should have until your purge your heart of human idols.
Also get rid of other idols that are not human idols, that you exalted to be like God in your heart and life. Idol is a lie and a deception, including human idol.
1 Corinthians 8:4 says, “we know that an idol stands for something that does not really exist; we know that there is only the one God.”
1 John 5:21
Little children, guard yourselves from idols.
An idol stands for something that does not exist, meaning that that position that you assigned to that object or thing like money, fame, power, oil, salt, water and so on, is not real, but a deception.
Power belongs to God alone. That position you assigned to that human being that you love more than God, or that so called celebrity is not real but imagined. Idol is just a figment of our imagination and a lie and deception.
That statue that you made to look like Jesus, Mary and saints that have died, and offering sacrifice to is a lie. It is a figment of the imagination, and a deception so demons take advantage of your ignorance, and you end up worshipping death and offering sacrifices to demons. Idols are demons.
Lie is death and death is lie. Lie gives birth to death, and sin is death. It is that lie in your mind that gives the demons the power, and upper hand. Your real enemy is lie and deception. That is why Jesus said that you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Pray for the Holy Spirit to lead you into all the truth.
Any human that you love so much, and your love for that person is greater than your love for God, and you choose to please that person at the expense of pleasing God is bad and sin.
David set his eyes on Bathsheba and his love for God flew away. His love for Bathsheba overtook His love for God. Samson turned Delilah into his happiness and idol, to His own detriment. He chose to disobey God and have deep intimate relationship to someone that he was not married to.
Delilah was a lie. She was a cruel deception. Delilah relationship with samson was fake, false and not genuine, yet she was like an idol to Samson. She was a love and a passion, so powerful and hot it consumed and destroyed Samsons mind, heart, logic, emotions, judgement and His destiny.
Get rid of Physical and spiritual Delilah’s and fake loves and idols in your heart that steal God’s place in the temple of your heart. Give your heart completely to God, His word, ways and will. Do not let sin, fornication and worldliness be your spiritual Delilah. Embrace God’s perfect will for your life.
Human idols will always get you in trouble with yourself and God. Choose to please God, rather than men.
Evil thoughts will occur however, it is how we handle them that matters. Remember that Jesus said to Peter, " Get behind me Satan." Jesus was able to recognize that what Peter was saying originated from the devil. Peter himself was not even aware that he was passing across Satan’s thoughts.
The devil always tries to make us disobey God and go against God’s will and His plan for our lives by flashing his own thoughts across our minds. Learn to recognize Satan’s thoughts the way that Jesus did, and aggressively reject them.
