Prayer gate

1 Corinthians 6: 17But he that is joined (continuous repeated action- to glue, cleave, join together with) unto the Lord ( Master, Owner, controller) is one (to indicate the singularity of something, thus emphasizing that there is but one only, one and the same, not at variance with, in accord with) spirit. In the Greek it reads-but the one joining himself to the… Continue reading Prayer gate

Choice gate

The gateways of the soul are- conscience, imagination, reason, mind, emotions, will, and choice. But choice is the key. We can receive cleansing and healing for our conscience, imagination, and emotions. We can have strongholds removed from our reason, we can receive renewing for our mind, we can receive the power of God into our… Continue reading Choice gate

New creation

You don’t become a new creation when you stop struggling with your flesh. You ARE a new creation in your spirit, that is why you may be struggling with a civil war on the inside, your spirit desiring one thing and your flesh another. Now you have the opportunity to practice living from a new… Continue reading New creation

Family pressure

You need to understand something about parenting that will take the pressure off. You’re not responsible for creating perfect children. You get to partner with God to help your children discover who He’s already created them to be. Our heavenly Father doesn’t look at your parenting mistakes in disappointment. He always looks deeper, He sees… Continue reading Family pressure

Struggle

You don’t overcome struggle by fighting harder against it. You overcome struggle by partnering with God to see what He’s already prepared on the other side of it. The Father doesn’t look at your current struggle and see a problem to solve. He sees an opportunity to reveal His character, demonstrate His faithfulness, and develop… Continue reading Struggle

Mind set

Your mindset isn’t something you create through positive thinking or mental discipline. Your heavenly mindset is something God develops in you as you learn to see from His perspective. The Father doesn’t ask you to think differently through human willpower. He invites you to set your mind on things above – to learn His ways… Continue reading Mind set

God with you

God isn’t just “with you” in a general, distant way. He’s with you in the most intimate, personal, moment-by-moment partnership you could ever imagine. The Father doesn’t watch your life from heaven, occasionally stepping in when you pray hard enough. He’s present in your Monday morning decisions, your difficult conversations, your moments of doubt, and… Continue reading God with you

Rest

We have to learn to maintain our rest. Today as I was meditating visually, a lot of things would come upon the screen of my mind, that I was not sure was of God. I noticed it was disturbing my peace, so I did not meditate on them. I seem to be more at rest… Continue reading Rest

New Vocabulary

We have to learn to speak words of life and not death. “We are not to judge people; we want to help set them free. Matthew 7:1“Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to… Continue reading New Vocabulary

See your future

When God speaks to us, we need to realize that sometimes He speaks to our future. You say that Word I just received from the Lord, makes no sense. That is because it concerns your future. God’s voice isn’t responding to your current reality, but calling you into your future? He sees the end from… Continue reading See your future

Be a leader

God sees the leader in you, even if you don’t. When the faith of God is working in you by love, you are a ministry, and you can begin to lead others by your example. He’s developing your leadership capacity right now, in the tests and trials that you overcome. What every you overcome; you… Continue reading Be a leader

Beholding

Beholding means to look or behold in a mirror, to see reflected. We may only be seeing a dim reflection when we read the bible. This is why meditation is so important, we must learn how to become aware of the Lord’s presence, it is only through that awareness that we change. To be transformed… Continue reading Beholding

Your weapons

My beloved, the weapons of your warfare are more than a match for the enemy. Whatever has made you feel weak can be turned around with the right weapon. You need to learn the weapons of your warfare. This is not an equal fight! The odds are always in your favor. Remain like a little… Continue reading Your weapons

Step back

We are either walking in the spirit or walking in the flesh. The flesh is that union of soul and body that acts independently of the Lord. Many Cristians walk in the flesh, without realizing it. Because not everything the flesh does is considered bad. I am not talking about the works or lusts of… Continue reading Step back

The gospel of peace

The government of God is a government of rest and peace. Hebrews 4:11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience This rest is something, someone we have to enter into, it is being in Christ. “Peace is a ruling power. It overwhelms anxiety,… Continue reading The gospel of peace

Part of the call

It is such an essential part of the calling of God, that we get wounded and betrayed and rejected. It means you are growing spiritually. We get wounded by the people that we really thought we could trust. The people we use to fellowship with. Our hopes, plans and dreams will be interfered with. We… Continue reading Part of the call

Identity

Who are you? Your identity isn’t something you discover through self-inspection or create through self-improvement. Your identity is something God has already established and is inviting you to step into. The Father doesn’t look at you and see what you are not, He sees who you are becoming. In fact, He sees who you already… Continue reading Identity

Failure

Failure is not to be feared. We are going to make mistakes. But the Holy Spirit never makes mistakes, and He lives inside of us, all we have to do is learn how to hear His voice, and act accordingly. We cannot win if we are afraid, we are going to lose. It takes courage… Continue reading Failure

Jumping in

Sometimes we unconsciously protect ourselves from God moving in our life. We demonstrate caution when we should be wholehearted. We look from the sidelines instead of jumping into the action. We are passive in our worship rather than engaged. We must never be prudent about the Holy Spirit. There is no discretion when it comes… Continue reading Jumping in

Provision

1 John 5:4 For whoever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. If we do not hear the voice of God clearly, we have promises in the Word that apply to us. The Faith of God comes to us by hearing a personal Word from… Continue reading Provision

Religious system

Many of us sadly have grown up in a religious system that almost perpetrates the idea that God is bipolar, that He loves us, but He is angry with us. What’s that about? That God looks at our behavior and if it’s not good, He turns away from us? If you are hearing stuff like… Continue reading Religious system

Trusting people

I trust God so much I am prepared to trust people fully again. I don’t care if people wound me or hurt me. I can get healed. It’s what comes out of me that’s more important than what happens against me. So I do trust people, and you know what? I’ll get betrayed and I’ll… Continue reading Trusting people

The upper hand

God has ordained our lives in a particular way so that when the enemy gets the upper hand on us, what God does is to take us into a place that is greater than the place where we fell from. That’s grace. It’s not just about a restoration to where you were. It’s about God… Continue reading The upper hand

Negativity

When Jesus died, it wasn’t just sin that He took upon Himself. He took all our negativity and killed it. He killed off every negative thought, every negative emotion, every negative word, every negative act. He killed off all negativity on this planet. So, you’re not allowed to be negative! Every negative, the Lord reveals… Continue reading Negativity

Messed up

You are not too messed up for God. All the times I have messed up, the Lord has already provided a way out. There is no amount of failure, sin, or brokenness that disqualifies you from His love or His purposes for your life. The Father doesn’t look at your past mistakes and decide you’re… Continue reading Messed up

Confidence

Confidence in God comes when we understand two things: who He is, and who we are. Everything we face in difficulty is just a tool for God to use to show us more of His kind nature. The right image of God opens Heaven to us. Hell, itself cannot overcome a man or woman who… Continue reading Confidence

Journey

Psalm 37:23The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD,And He delights in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the LORD upholds him with His hand. The great thing about walking with the Lord is that He knows how to hold our hand, so that… Continue reading Journey

Your career

The Father didn’t place you in your role by accident. He’s positioned you exactly where you are to learn His ways of leadership, stewardship, and Kingdom impact… Continue reading Your career

New creation

You don’t become a new creation when you start acting better. You ARE a new creation, and you get to practice living from that reality. The old you – with all its limitations, failures, and broken patterns – died with Christ. What rose with Him is the real you: righteous, holy, beloved, and completely accepted… Continue reading New creation

Testimony

Your testimony is actually the beginning of your ministry. If you don’t know what you’re called to, look at your testimony. What has God saved you from? What has He delivered you from? How have you prospered trough difficult circumstances. What has God turned around for you. You have a ministry now in that very… Continue reading Testimony

Failed God

Please understand that you haven’t failed God and He hasn’t failed you, and it’s time for your development to take place and for you to still be a demonstration of all that God wants. God loves you with an overwhelming love and He’s going to love you no matter what you do. It’s just that… Continue reading Failed God

Wounded

“It is absolutely essential that you are wounded in ministry and that you know the fellowship of His sufferings. It is such an essential part of the call to come up higher, that we get wounded in the house of our friends, we get wounded by the people that we really thought we could trust,… Continue reading Wounded

Receiving ministry

One of our biggest problems is we think everything can be solved by receiving ministry. We have this culture; this mentality that we go to church, events, and conferences because what I really need is a fresh touch from God. The last time I checked that wasn’t on His conference agenda. That’s a lifestyle issue.… Continue reading Receiving ministry

Warriors

Warriors are people who confidently make choices about where and how to focus their internal attention. We are not living from the outside in, we’re living from the inside out. I’m making choices about where my internal focus of attention is. What am I going to focus on next? Because I know that God is… Continue reading Warriors

Challenging situations

What I’ve learned about where to look when life gets overwhelming… There’s a Kingdom principle that has transformed how I approach every challenging situation: Turn TO God, not to your circumstances. Your circumstances will always tell you what’s wrong, what’s missing, what’s impossible. But God wants to show you what He’s already provided, what He’s… Continue reading Challenging situations

God doesn’t speak

There are times when God doesn’t speak for a reason. He doesn’t want you to know, and those times really are the best times because what God is offering you is not knowledge about where you are going, it’s just sensitivity. That is what you are learning. He is just going to hold His hand… Continue reading God doesn’t speak

Forgiveness

Forgiveness isn’t something you work up the strength to do. It’s something God has already accomplished that He’s inviting you to step into. The Father didn’t wait for you to deserve forgiveness before He provided it. While you were still a sinner, Christ secured complete forgiveness for you. Now He’s teaching you to live from… Continue reading Forgiveness

Offended

If you’re easily offended the only thing it proves is that you don’t yet have a good relationship with the Comforter. Why be wounded by people when you can healed? You know it’s easier to get healed than it is to hold a grudge! You don’t get any air miles for being wounded, offended, or… Continue reading Offended

Your career

Your career isn’t just about what you do for work. It’s about how God wants to partner with you to demonstrate His Kingdom through your influence and expertise.

He walks besides you

friends, moved to a new town, went to a new church, and the same thing started up? Possibly there is one common denominator, and that common denominator just might have your initials! You can go to a different country. Before your plane has even got to the gate, the Lord has arranged that the person… Continue reading He walks besides you

First opinion

I never take my first opinion of someone seriously. I never ever, ever, ever pay any attention to my first impression of someone. You know why? I am completely lousy at it. And you know what? I am glad that I am no good at it because I shouldn’t be having first impressions of people… Continue reading First opinion

Parenting

Something I’ve discovered about parenting that took all the pressure off… You’re not responsible for creating perfect children. You get to partner with God to help your kids discover who He’s already created them to be. The Father doesn’t look at your parenting mistakes and shake His head in disappointment. He sees a parent who… Continue reading Parenting

Toxicity

You don’t have to absorb the toxicity around you. God has positioned you as light in dark places, and light doesn’t get contaminated by darkness – it transforms it. The Father isn’t surprised by the difficult people or negative atmosphere you’re facing. He’s already prepared grace for you to not just survive, but actually thrive… Continue reading Toxicity

Struggle

You don’t overcome struggle by fighting harder against it. You overcome struggle by partnering with God to see what He’s already prepared on the other side of it. The Father doesn’t look at your current struggle and see a problem to solve. He sees an opportunity to reveal His character, demonstrate His faithfulness, and develop… Continue reading Struggle

Blame

You can’t blame other people for how you show up. That is rank immaturity. That is what keeps us babies. You can’t say, “Well, you made me do it! You made me say it!” No, it was already in you. They just brought it to the surface, and maybe God brought them into your life… Continue reading Blame

A way in the wilderness

Sometimes life is extremely hard, and painful, and heartbreaking. Sometimes we go through circumstances that are relentlessly difficult, and our circumstances are unchanged for long periods of time. Do you know what I’ve found in those moments? In my own circumstances when life was unrelentingly tough, I discovered how relentless God is Himself. I discovered… Continue reading A way in the wilderness

Mindset

Your mindset isn’t something you create through positive thinking or mental discipline. Your Kingdom mindset is something God develops in you as you learn to see from His perspective. The Father doesn’t ask you to think differently through human willpower. He invites you to set your mind on things above – to learn His ways… Continue reading Mindset

ILLNESS

It has been no secret that I have been battling with a severe illness since 2009. This is a two-part condition from a virus in 2009 that fried some of the nerve endings in my body resulting in constant inflammation of joints and muscles, and also contracting type 2 diabetes which exacerbates the pain problem.… Continue reading ILLNESS

Your emotions

Your emotions aren’t something to manage, suppress, or control through willpower. They’re invitations to partner with God and discover His perspective on what you’re experiencing. The Father doesn’t look at your difficult emotions and see weakness or spiritual immaturity. He sees opportunities to teach you His character – His peace in your anxiety, His joy… Continue reading Your emotions

Your calling

Your calling isn’t a career to find or a ministry to start. Your calling is learning to live in such deep partnership with God that His nature flows through you naturally wherever you are. The Father doesn’t have a secret plan for your life that you have to discover through perfect decision-making. He has a… Continue reading Your calling

Transformation

Jesus’ appearance was changed and was glorious with divine brightness on the mount of transfiguration. Matthew 17:2- and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. This is the glory the Lord is bringing us into. Isaiah 60:1     Arise, shine; For your light… Continue reading Transformation

CONFESS OUR SIN

We have two relationships with God, one in eternity and one right now in the time realm. God see’s us perfect in Christ but also deals with us now concerning the unrighteousness of our heart. God deals with us, because He has something better for us, and does not wish to leave us in the… Continue reading CONFESS OUR SIN

NEGATIVE TRANSFERENCE

God mostly speaks to us in spontaneous thoughts (The Holy Spirit brings to our remembrance, He does this all the time, we also have thoughts concerning spiritual things, that we have never heard before). These thoughts sound like our thoughts. But the enemy also works through spontaneous thoughts and gets us to believe a lie.… Continue reading NEGATIVE TRANSFERENCE

TAKE THE RED PILL

‘The Matrix’ is one of my favorite movies (The first one), a modern parable which reveals that the truth can free our minds. If you have not seen it, I recommend it! Keanu Reeves is Neo (whose name means ‘New’ and is also an anagram of ‘One’). With the help of Laurence Fishburne’s character, Morpheus,… Continue reading TAKE THE RED PILL
