Chosen

“Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.”

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

We have been chosen by God Himself; and been set apart as sanctified by the Holy Spirit; and we have been brought to obedience by the obedience of Christ through the sprinkling of the Blood of Christ; grace and peace is multiplied in us!  How great is our God Who has done everything for us to walk in victory everyday of our life! Hallelujah to our Almighty God!

Trusting in Evil Times

“He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭112:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

When we believe God for a miracle and it doesn’t happen...instead we receive evil tidings, how do we respond?  Here the psalmist says his heart is fixed trusting in the Lord.  Can we look to the Cross and fix our trust on Jesus at the time of evil tidings?  The Comforter our Helper comes to our rescue and wipes away our tears with the Blood of Jesus.  Surely Jesus has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows for He is acquainted with our griefs.  Let’s fix our heart on Jesus, trusting Him in our grief, let’s establish our heart and not be afraid....thank You Holy Spirit.

Quickened by the Holy Spirit

“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:”

‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3:18‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Christ’s suffering was once and was for all, to bring us, the unjust,  into the justice of God.  Jesus took our punishment on the Cross in His flesh to put it to death.  The Eternal Spirit raised Jesus from the dead and today He quickens us and purges our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.  Jesus - the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world.  Worthy is the Lamb!

Seek God with all your Heart

“The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭14:2‬ ‭KJV

David saw the folly of godlessness in his generation.  God revealed to him that He was seeing who among humanity was seeking Him.  Today, we read amazing testimonies of people who cried out in desperation to the true God, in the wilderness, in the jungle, in places of worship, in the midst of the bustling city life.  Jesus revealed Himself to them.  God loves us so much, He gave Jesus for all humanity, that when we seek Him and hunger and thirst for Him, He reveals Himself.  In His Word, when we hunger for revelation, He shows us the glory of His Cross and the wonders of the depth of His love!  Let’s seek Him and ask the help of the Holy Spirit to overcome distractions and focus on the awesome exchange Jesus made for us on the Cross...let’s seek Him with all our heart.

Trust & Love God

“Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭14:17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Paul had just spoken healing to the cripple, who walked!  This happened in Lycaonia and the people thought Paul & Barnabas were Roman gods!  So Paul told them of the true God in Whose Name he brought healing to the cripple.  The same God took them through the wilderness feeding them daily, about 2 million of them; meeting their water needs and everything they needed; and fruitful seasons to make them glad...in the wilderness!  How much more will this same God Who gave His Only Begotten Son - Jesus - to the world, take care of all our needs in these troubled lockdown times!  Let’s trust Him, love Him, and speak Jesus’s life to all the sad situations that we hear about that come our way!  Let’s learn to speak life, not death!   That’s the power of having Jesus in our heart.  Hallelujah!

The Lord our Righteousness

“In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE Lord OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭23:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Jeremiah prophesied of the Messiah here Who was to bring righteousness.  The Jews had depended on the law for righteousness.  But now through Christ the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us who walk not in the flesh but after the Spirit.  Because Jesus died in the flesh, through faith in the finished work of the Cross, we are crucified with Him.  Now Christ lives in us and if Christ lives in us, our body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Let’s mortify the deeds of our flesh as we surrender to the Holy Spirit, so that the LORD our Righteousness is revealed through us to the world around us, as we walk after the Holy Spirit.

Lively & Confident Expectation

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.  May our hearts be overflowing with thanksgiving for the lively hope we have by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.  Whom we worship we become like...we worship the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ and we become like Him when we worship Him.  This is the confident expectation we have from our living Lord Jesus that we too will be raised from the dead to eternal life with Him...God’s life in us right now and forever...as He is so are we in this world and forever!  Hallelujah!

Stability in Troubled Times

“And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭33:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Isaiah had continued to warn the people of Jerusalem and Judah with whom God had made a covenant, but they wouldn’t listen.  Today the same God has made a covenant with us through Christ and we are asked by God to walk in wisdom and knowledge of the Word of God to be stable in these troubled times.  When we reverence God & His Word, doing what it says, we have this treasure in our earthen vessels, so that the excellency of the power released through us is of the Holy Spirit and not of us!  Let’s allow the Word and the Spirit to agree in us as we release the excellency of His power to this troubled world.

Rejoice

“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭14:17‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Christ has given us His righteousness by taking our sins and coming to dwell in our heart.  Christ has given us His peace, not as the world gives, but because He has overcome this world. The joy that this releases in us is because of the Holy Spirit.  True joy is ours in any situation when we joy in the Holy Spirit. This means, thanking, praising, worshipping, with a known language or in the heavenly language given to us.  Let’s be in righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit at all times!  Rejoice, and again let us rejoice!

Joy Unspeakable

“And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.”
‭‭1 Kings‬ ‭1:40‬ KJV
Adonijah had declared himself heir to the throne of David.  But it was Solomon who was crowned as heir at David’s command!  Such joy erupted that the earth rent with the sound of them.  Today the Father has crowned us as joint heirs with Jesus because of us becoming born again through faith in the finished work of the Cross.  The enemy has been trying to lord it over humanity but thank God for Jesus.  Let’s go after Jesus with such thanksgiving, praise & worship that the earth is rent with the sound of it!  Hallelujah to the Lamb Who brings joy unspeakable in us!

Focus on Jesus

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭3:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬
When we focus only on the Lord Jesus Christ in our relationship with Him, with fiery faith, we are able to sanctify the Lord Jesus in our hearts.  The Holy Spirit helps us when we yield to His discipline to not be distracted in any way.  Then when we talk to others of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit provides the reason and the hope we have with meekness and fear.  Let’s answer every person we meet with our hope in Christ.  Let’s be fearless in our focus to sanctify the Lord Jesus in our hearts!

Restoration

“But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭6:31‬ ‭KJV‬‬
King Solomon talks about the thief when found shall restore sevenfold and give all the substance of his house. God tells His chosen nation that He will restore all that has been devoured.  Jesus says that the thief comes to steal, kill & destroy but He has come to give abundant life.  As His disciple, call out by name the thief who has stolen from you and caused you lack, job loss, depression, confusion, sickness, disease, broken relationships, hopelessness - anything.  Jesus has the power to restore sevenfold.  We who have experienced restoration are witness to Jesus’s power.  All power and authority has been given to Him, the resurrected Jesus told us.  Let’s believe and receive restoration!

Mature in Faith

“That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬
It’s time to mature in our faith and increase in our knowledge of God.  A tree is known by its fruit.  The more we abide in Christ and His Word, the more revelation comes and we are fruitful, increasing in the knowledge of God.  Let’s not allow negativity to hinder our revelation of God and the fruitfulness He has accorded us. The devil roams around like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour but he was defeated at the Cross.  Let’s be vigilant of his wiles. Let’s trust Jesus for revelation of His Word personally to us, walking worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing.  The Holy Spirit helps us.

Publish the Name of Jesus

“Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭32:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬
How good it is to ascribe greatness to our God whenever we are in difficulties, just like Moses did here.  To publish the Name of the Lord and forget not all His benefits, is what God has called us to do.  Everyone of us who have tasted the goodness of our God and the finished work of the Cross are actually mandated to declare His marvellous works.  Let’s fill our mouth with the good things that the Lord Jesus has done for us and continuously speak it forth with gratitude!  Let’s ascribe greatness to Jesus, Hallelujah!

Communicate the Gospel

“But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬
The Holy Spirit is reminding us not only to do good but to effectively communicate the good news which is the Gospel!  We are to remember at what point the Lord Jesus’s death, burial and resurrection pierced our soul and caused us to accept Jesus in our heart.  This is the Gospel come personally to us and the passion to love the Lord Jesus by communicating to others, let’s not forget.  Jesus will come into the heart of our listeners when we do that and the kingdom of God keeps enlarging!  Praise the Lord!

Reigning in Christ

“And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.”
‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭28:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬
This was David’s prayer for his son Solomon before he died and Solomon came to reign.  This prayer becomes our promise because in the new covenant all the promises are Yes and Amen in Christ to the glory of God.  By the Blood of Jesus we have a new heart and a willing mind to serve God.  Even our mind is renewed to sanctify the imaginations of our heart to think in agreement with the Word of God, as we seek to do the perfect will of God in our lives.  Let’s be found in Christ to reign now and eternally because of His abundance of grace and gift of righteousness, not for the limited time that Solomon did, but forever and ever!

True Liberty

“For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬
True liberty is when we have learned to surrender to the Holy Spirit as we are led by Him...if we walk in the Spirit we do not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.  This is why Jesus died and rose again, so through faith the Holy Spirit would come and dwell in us; we then have fellowship with God and by love serve one another.  We die to ourselves, being crucified with Christ and as new creatures in Christ, we manifest Christ in and through us in the power of the Holy Spirit. As He leads us to serve others with love, so we do.  As many as our led by the Holy Spirit are the sons of God.  Hallelujah!

Purify Inner Motives

“And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.”
‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭3:1‬ ‭KJV‬‬
The high priest Joshua was standing in the Presence of God and Satan was resisting him.  The high priest daily cleansed himself so that he could go in the Presence of God on that one day - the day of atonement.  Outwardly he wore the beautiful high priestly garments yet inwardly he was clothed in filthy garments before God’s Presence.  In the spirit Satan is constantly accusing us because he knows our inner motives which are not hidden before God.  Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God.  In the new covenant, we have Jesus our High Priest, Who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, not by the blood of bulls and goats, but by His Own Precious Blood!  His Blood has caused iniquity to pass from us as we are being purified and Satan cannot accuse us as we are redeemed from his hand by Jesus’s Blood.  Jesus clothes us with His righteousness as we keep our inner motives pure before God.  Let’s not wear beautiful clothes on the outside but have filthy garments on the inside.  Let’s come out of any form of hypocrisy.  Let’s continuously keep our relationship with the Holy Spirit clear acknowledging our hidden sins and asking for Jesus’s Blood to cleanse us as He is faithful and just to forgive us.  Let’s be pure in heart so we can see God!

Joyful Acceptance of the Word of God

“And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Our mind tells us that the Bible is written by several different people but the Word of God tells us that all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and holy men of God were moved by the Holy Spirit.  Here the apostle John states that he writes to the readers that there joy may be full.  The greatest joy the disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ receives is when we agree with the Word of God and put it into practice.  The Bible is practical and the Holy Spirit interprets it for us when we have a relationship with Him.  When we don’t understand He explains and gives confirmation from the Word itself.  The Author explains it to us so we can just do it, and then the joy we receive is to “the full”.  Let’s obey Him because He knows everything!  Thank You for loving us just as we are and choosing us to have a relationship with You and thank You for explaining the Word to us by Your revelation...we receive Your revelation by faith!

Correcting with Love

“He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬
The Word teaches us that love will discipline.  If you don’t love your child, you won’t discipline them.  Every child needs to be corrected and sometimes it is the rod of correction that speaks.  The world teaches that you ignore bad behaviour and stay calm so that the child will learn that bad behaviour doesn’t yield the results the child wants.  Society today is being ruled by people who don’t want to set boundaries and limit themselves - society will evolve, they believe.  Punishment of a child is considered harsh and evil.  With such a mindset, rules are broken, with impunity with no fear.  Jesus was punished on the Cross by God Almighty for the rules that humanity had broken.  This vicarious death of Jesus brought the true love of God, His kindness & compassion, into focus.  The world wants you to believe that God is harsh and evil who goes about punishing humanity.  The truth is that He loves us and wants to fellowship with us, so He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.  To love Jesus is to discipline ourselves and obey Him, and to discipline our children with love.  For whom the Lord loves He chastenes, and scourges every son whom He receives!  Thank You Father for disciplining us and helping us to be Jesus’s disciples!

The Royal Law of Love

“And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.”
‭‭2 John‬ ‭1:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Time and time again Jesus said that if we love Him we will keep His commandments and the new commandment He gave us is to love one another as He has loved us.  To love is the royal law!  As we are called to reign on this earth, it is with love.  Love is the power that defeats the enemy.  The enemy cannot understand the greater love that caused Jesus to lay His life down for us.  This sacrificial love that Jesus has shown us is the highest weapon against the enemy.  Love never fails; love covers a multitude of sins; love is patient, kind and humble.  This is love that we walk in His commandments.  Let’s intercede for others, specially those who are perishing, with Jesus’s love for them in our hearts.  Let’s walk in the royal law of love and believe that nothing can separate us from His love!  To Abba Father be all the glory!

Substitution

“In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭63:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Isaiah is remembering how the Lord redeemed the wandering Israelites in the desert, in love and in pity.  He Himself bared and carried them.  This is the prophetic picture of the Lord Jesus baring and carrying our sins, the sin of all humanity, on the Cross with love and pity and redeeming us.  Even though Israel continued to rebel against the God of Israel, yet He is faithful to them.  Today, the nation of Israel exists when for centuries it had ceased to exist.  God is faithful to the new covenant He has made with us by the Lord Jesus, His Son.  The day of reckoning is coming for all humanity if you keep on rebelling against the supreme sacrifice that Jesus made.  But for those who accepted Jesus death, burial and resurrection as the substitutionary death for our sins, there is a peace that this reconciliation brings which no amount of persecution can take away.  We have a hope and a future to fulfill God’s plan for each of our life with the joy of the Lord.  We know that His Presence is with us in every situation with the grace and favour only He can supply.  Thank You, Lord Jesus, for choosing us to reign with You now and forever!

By Faith

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.”
‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭2:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬
The Lord was speaking to Habakkuk and telling him to write down this vision.  It was a warning to tell the Jews to depend on God to live by faith.  The source of faith is God Himself which He pours into those who believe His Word.  Jesus is Faithful and True.  Those who understand what Jesus did personally for us on the Cross by dying and rising again, are able to receive the gift of faith and then produce the fruit of faith.  Both the gift and the fruit are of the Holy Spirit.  God never compels us to have faith, it is a free choice for all humans.  It is the only way to live...the just shall live by faith.  Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  When we ask God, Jesus says it shall be given to us, our part is to bring it from the unseen to the seen, by faith.  This is only possible for us who believe in the finished work of the Cross.  By faith we receive it.  Jesus said that what things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them.  That’s how the just live by faith!

Armour of God

“Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Such is the kindness of our God, that He, the Lord of Hosts, has given us even the armour of God!  An armour is a covering to protect yourself in battle.  We live in evil days where lawlessness is becoming the norm rather than the exception.  It is a battle scenario between evil and good.  The good news is that the battle was won by our Lord Jesus at the Cross of Calvary and it was a resounding defeat of evil.  The Church now overcomes evil with good by this victory.  In the evil day we put on the whole armour of God, not only to protect ourselves but to attack with the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.  That’s how we submit to God by speaking His Word in every situation, thus resisting the devil and watching the devil flee!  That’s how we withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  Put on the armour of God daily - the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, the shoes to preach the gospel of peace, the helmet of salvation, the shield of faith and learn to use the Sword of the Spirit effectively and put the enemy to flight!  Hallelujah!

Our Victorious Redeemer

“For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:”
‭‭Job‬ ‭19:25‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Although Job faced so much of suffering but he also, in the midst of suffering, received much revelation.  The prophecy of Jesus being our Redeemer Who lives, and that He would stand upon the earth at His second coming, came to Job when he was being afflicted by Satan. All suffering is inflicted by Satan, even as Job argues with God about him not deserving to suffer as he was experiencing.  Today the same Redeemer has conquered sin, death and hell.  Satan could only trouble as long as Jesus had not died on the Cross.  The Gospel today is that Jesus was manifested to destroy the works of Satan.  This victory He has given to His Body the Church.  Let’s take the authority our Redeemer has given us and speak destruction to the works of the devil.  Let’s, at every opportunity, proclaim the Victory of the Cross over sickness, disease, depression, oppression, lack and every work of the enemy.  Let’s not accept anything the enemy brings...we will have tribulation in this world, but be of good cheer, our Redeemer has overcome the world!  Glory to God!

Walk in Love

“And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭5:2‬ ‭KJV
The apostle Paul is saying the same thing that Jesus said to His disciples after He had washed their feet on the night that He was betrayed.  Jesus shows with action first and then with words that He loves us.  We cannot love one another if we haven’t experienced Christ’s love personally through the Cross.  The more we think about His sacrifice on the Cross and see all our sins nailed to the Cross, we receive the exchange He made on our behalf and His forgiveness, the more we experience personally His love for us.  Only then the Holy Spirit sheds abroad God’s love in our hearts to an overflowing so we are then able to walk in love - the action love that Jesus shows - and offer the continuous sacrifice of thanksgiving to Him seeing His goodness personally in our lives.  Let’s make our personal exchange on the Cross so we receive His love and walk in love, giving thanks to Him at all times, in all places and in all situations.  Let’s flow in God’s love!

Love the Word

“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭119:165‬ ‭KJV‬‬
The spirit of offence destroys relationships.  God’s antidote for this is to love the Word more and nothing shall offend.  People tend to become judgmental and take offence easily, in churches particularly! This, like a rancour, keeps eating into the heart and makes it bitter and hard.  Let’s love the Word and do what it says...let’s diligently look for the grace of God and root out any bitterness defiling us.  Let’s not judge lest we be judged.  Let’s examine our hearts and apply the Blood of Jesus in every area of our heart and receive forgiveness, thus making our hearts softened for the Holy Spirit to lead us.  Let’s become sensitive to what God the Holy Spirit is saying to us and let’s spend more time with His Word!  God has exalted His Word even above His Name!  Hallelujah!

Generous Givers

“Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬
The kingdom of God principle is to sow bountifully.  Be generous.  Give cheerfully.  Be blessed in giving rather than in receiving.  The recognised givers in the kingdom of God are unrecognised by the world and vice versa!  Those who trust in the finished work of Jesus on the Cross, are the lavish  givers who are enriched in everything to all bountifulness.  In this time of economic crunch be the generous givers like Jesus is....don’t be at the receiving end by asking but be at the giving end....you’ll just be thanking God for His provision all the time.  In truth, God gives so much, it provokes jealousy!  In this season of economic scarcity in the world, follow the kingdom of God principle in giving...not everyone is able to understand this point and they have expectations from others for them to be open handed!  Not so in the kingdom of God!  Let’s trust God in giving to those the Holy Spirit leads us to.  Thank You Jesus for enriching us in everything to all bountifulness causing us to be thankful to You!

Covenant Relationship with El Shaddai

“But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭39:21‬ ‭KJV‬‬
Joseph had faced a grave injustice and was put into prison because of a false accusation.  He could have become depressed and filled with self pity.  He could have become bitter and angry.  He could have lost his hope and thought of ending his life.  Every situation seemed against Joseph.  Thankfully he had a relationship with the living God.  In the prison Joseph knew God was with him.  It is a wonderful experience to have a relationship with the living God.  Joseph’s father had shared with him the covenant El Shaddai had made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob himself. So Joseph knew God and received favour that enabled him to prosper even in prison.  The same El Shaddai has made a blood covenant with us, through His Son Jesus Christ.  When we know El Shaddai through His Son Jesus Christ and the power of His Blood Covenant with us, no prison can stop us from being in His favour and prospering.  Let’s know the power of the Blood Covenant with Jesus and walk in prosperity and victory!  Hallelujah!

Freely Receive Freely Give

“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬
When the Lord Jesus had chosen His disciples, He gave them power to cast out unclean spirits and to heal all manner of sicknesses and diseases.  They obeyed.  In our time, as we are called a disciple of the Lord Jesus, and He has given us His Holy Spirit, we are to do the same.  Everyone who has experienced the grace of forgiveness freely, we are to pass it on freely.  There is no charge!  Whoever comes to us for prayer and counsel, let’s do what Jesus wants us to do.  If we are fearful, faith will not be released in us.  Let’s just simply believe the Word of God and obey it.  This is the Church’s mandate of which the Lord Jesus Christ is the Head.  No pastor or bishop or any denominational head or big ministry leader.....only the Lord Jesus Christ!  Glory to Jesus!
