Be Still
God is my Father, He is under a responsibility
to take care of me..
If He's against a father who doesn't take
care of his children and family, and call
him an "infidel", then how would
He be an "infidel" towards me.
A long time ago, when I harnessed the
understanding of the Father's Love,
I don't get worried about anything at all,
if I get so much concerned about them,
I just bring it to Him and that's the end,
I don't pray about it anymore because I
know my Father is responsible for my
upkeep and even if He doesn't do it the
way I asked Him to do it, I also have the
understanding that He is my Father,
and as my Father He knows what's
best for me, so I don't complain,
I thank Him from my whole heart
proceeding from this understanding..
Knowing deep within me that He
knows what's best and will do what's
best in His "Own" interests, towards me,
so I relax even though I see nothing coming,
I'm so calm and confident that His BEST
is on its way, and eventually it shows up
and it's ALWAYS beyond my Imagination.
Folks telling you to give some amount of
money in order to attract God's Fatherly
responsibilities over you are WOLVES..
Just go and know your Father, many of
us don't!
In the natural realm, maturity is by how
much you have stayed independent of
your parent's resources for you..
But in God, maturity is defined by how
much you have gained alignment with
Father's design for you.
I recently read some remarks from a person
who has slid from truth into the abyss of
deception. They were commenting on how
they were, "tired of talking about the bible,
" referring to scripture in a condescending
manner as,"this little black book."
This is what results when personal opinions
and bias are consistently exalted above the
ministry of the Holy Spirit, in one's study of
God's written Word.
No one can understand the Word of God
without the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
(1 Corinthians 2:11,12, John 16:13,John 17:17)
If the Bible is boring the ministry of
Holy Spirit is not being relied upon,
to reveal His Word. (John 6:63)
There is daily life, joy, and excitement,
as Jesus is revealed within the pages of
God's written Word.
I am rejoicing in God's Word,
How about you?(Psalm 119:162)
If not, allow the Holy Spirit to guide you
into this glorious promised land of "
revelation knowledge."
This IS the LIFE that ALL of humanity
(including Christians) are attempting to find,
regardless of whether they realize it or not.
His words are life to those who FIND them,
and health to all their flesh.(Proverbs 4:20-22)
"A Word To Aspiring Ministers Attempting
To Build A Ministry"
"Prepare thy work without, and make it fit
for thyself in the field, and afterwards build
thine house." (Proverbs 24:27)
Notice that the house is built after the
field is mentioned.
The "field" speaks of a harvest
As it pertains to ministry, so many are
attempting to build their ministry to get
a harvest, rather than building that
ministry from a harvest.
True ministry must grow from the harvest
of an overflowing relationship with God,
if it is to effectively minister.
"The Eyes Of A Fool"
"Wisdom is before him that hath
understanding; but the eyes of a fool
are in the ends of the earth.
(Proverbs 17:24)
A simple paraphrase of this verse
could read as follows:
"The eyes of a fool are always looking
out there, for what they already have,
right in front of them."
I have seen this play out many times in
the lives of Christians.
Those who believe that if they move here,
or move there, or do this, or do that,
they will somehow find fulfillment.
However the reality is that, regardless
of where one may be in their natural status,
or geographical location, the presence of
God is ALWAYS available, and "in His
presence is FULLNESS of joy." (Psalms 16:11)
The GREATEST joy is found in genuine
fellowship with God, through His Word,
and this fellowship can, and should be
experienced daily.
So we must ask ourselves,
"Am I deriving my joy from a relationship
with God, or am I refusing godly contentment
as I look through the eyes of a fool?"
"How A Minister Can Go Amiss"
I have been pondering the reality of how a
genuine minister can deviate from their
God ordained course.
I believe it occurs when that individual
experiences a level of success in their
ministry, such as a good teaching series,
an accurate prophetic word (s), or even
manifested healings.
The danger of success is that a subtle
departure from the Word can begin to take
place, IF the manifestations become the
focus.
When this BEGINS to occur the Word will
now begin to be a tool that is used to
conform to, and confirm the minister's
ideology.
The fruit of this type of ministry going awry
is that it is no longer about the ministry
building people, but rather, about people
building (and conforming to) the ministry.
People have now become expendable for
the sake of the ministry.
An indicator that this mentality is in the
heart of a minister is when they are more
excited about their ministry then they are
about their relationship with Jesus.
Allow God to build your ministry for ONLY
He knows when you and I are ready for the
next phase.(Hebrews 6:3; Psalms 75:6,7)
(Note: And it is almost ALWAYS longer than
our flesh would like)
As ministers, you and I are to focus on
preparation, and allow God to deal with
our promotion.
Stop waiting on results before you believe
that you have the power of God, and start
believing you have the power of God, to
see the power of God.
(Ephesians 1:17-23)
What actually is IMPARTATION??
IMPARTATION is NOT giving what you
have to someone, it is actually LAUNCHING
that person into his own Possibilities in God,
his own Pathway, you only activate what was
laying dormant in him and he is LAUNCHED!
Falling on the ground when power hits you
is good, BUT it's not IMPARTATION if after
falling your possibilities in God still lay
dormant without expression....
It means the PURPOSE of IMPARTATION is
not fulfilled.
Do you ask, “Did you not pray?”
Yes, I came to the place whereI did nothing
else. I prayed and prayed and prayed and
prayed.
Night after night I walked up and down our
long drawing roomscalling on God and
sometimes almost literally tearing the hair
out ofmy head. And you say,
“And you weren’t healed after that?”
No, I wasn’t healed because I didn’t believe
the simple statement of theWord of God;
rather, my healing could not be manifested
because ofmy unbelief.
I shut the door and prevented the power of
God fromoperating unhindered in my body.

Stillness
She approached him one evening
after the monthly vigil
"You are the only one who didn't see a
vision about me! Everywhere
I have gone the prophets always see
visions and they never fail
to call me out!
Didn't God show me anything
about you?
She asked
He looked at her
He didn't say a word
He just looked at her
His gaze made her uneasy
Suddenly she said "I can tell
you everything about your life
I see visions too, I also know
spiritual things
Although I don't let people know
I am especially gifted in seeing
things since I was a child!
She looked at him, he knew she
wanted to activate her "gift"
and see into his tomorrow
He smiled!
She suddenly screamed and started
manifesting
The drama took about fifteen
minutes
When she opened her eyes again
She was on her knees before him
She said "No wonder you didn't
say a word,
you knew who I was and now
you have taken all my powers
away from me"
He still didn't say a word
She said "I want to give my
life to Jesus now"
He led her to Christ and she
got filled with the
Holy Spirit
When she shared her testimony,
she described
herself as a witch and told
the people all the
evil she had done!
Then she said "The Brother in
Jeans and T-shirt
took away my powers, I tried
him and failed!"
He didn't say a word
Because he didn't know what to say
He had no idea she was what she
claimed to be
All he knew was that his life was
hid in Christ!
Especially with her, he saw no
vision and heard no voice and he
couldn't claim he saw when he didn't!
So he kept quiet and the Holy Spirit
did His thing!
Hallelujah
PS: How can a witch see into the
reality of a believer?
The believer's life is the continuation
of the life of Jesus
That life is hid in Christ and Christ
is hid in God!
Darkness does not attack light
or dare to look into light!
It would lose it's darkness in the
process of doing so
That's the right order of creation!
If you are a believer and witches are
afflicting you at will
You need to sincerely examine
what you believe
