There are sermons that give an exposition to try to exhaust a story and all the shades of meaning, but sometimes you remember more if someone takes one or two principles out of a passage of Scripture and relates it to you, where you are living. It helps to follow the example of some man… Continue reading A meeting with the Lord

Prayerlessness-the sin against the Lord
Samuel, in his address to Israel at a critical time in the war with the Philistines, says: Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you. I Samuel 12:23. Sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for people? Yes! Why would… Continue reading Prayerlessness-the sin against the Lord
Objectives of prayer
The objectives of prayer—for what shall we pray? In order to establish this in your mind we will move rapidly so that the whole message is one concept rather than many individual thoughts. I want you to get a feeling rather than to be enlightened by expositions. Is travail and agony the continual, perpetual state… Continue reading Objectives of prayer
If I regard iniquity in my heart
Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul. I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue. If I regard (or if I had looked with favor, if I had approved), iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not… Continue reading If I regard iniquity in my heart
If thou will go not with us
In the book of Exodus the people of the Lord reached a place where their making a molten calf in the wilderness had provoked the anger of God. And the Lord spake unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, (God didn’t own them… Continue reading If thou will go not with us
What will it be-a token or a torrent
What we have received so far is not the final answer. It is better than we have seen before, but it is not enough! I pray to God, telling Him that I love Him, that I fear Him, that I reverence Him, that I worship Him—and that I am embarrassed for Him; and I say… Continue reading What will it be-a token or a torrent
The anxious
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. That is the word, “Be anxious for nothing.” There is a great need for this. The next verse informs us, And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and… Continue reading The anxious
That fig tree
This is not the hour that thou shalt stand before the Lord with fears and reluctance in thy heart to press forward. Truly as thou art worshipers of the Lord thou shalt set thy heart to wholly follow after Him with all that is within thee. This is not a day in which thou shalt… Continue reading That fig tree
It has been loosed
Matthew 16:19, “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you shall bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you shall loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” We will dwell on the finality with which things have been accomplished in the spirit realm.… Continue reading It has been loosed
Authority
And Jesus came up and spoke to them saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” Matthew 28:18, 19a. Nothing is said about the difficulty of the job or about the disciples’ own resources or abilities to do it. Nothing is said… Continue reading Authority
And keep on asking
Chapters 11 and 18 in the Gospel of Luke are dedicated to the principles of prayer, especially the principles that are most effective in the end time. They give the basis for the change we are approaching. We are going to change—physically, mentally, spiritually, economically—in every way. We can claim things and believe for them… Continue reading And keep on asking
Victory
From the time that Christians are converted, they are never in a position where they do not have victory. They may sometimes accept defeat, but they never fail to have the victory. This sounds like a paradox. What does it mean? The victory was won for us and given to us by Jesus Christ. We… Continue reading Victory
What God cannot do
This may seem to be a lesson on theology because it speaks about God; but theology is usually a dead study, filled with the intricate hairsplitting doctrines of men who are devoid of deep spirituality and are only concerned about things academically. This is actually not a teaching on theology, though it deals with the… Continue reading What God cannot do
He is willing and able
If you have a God, it is important for you to know what He has said He will do for you. And after you review what He has said He will do for you, it is good to determine whether He is able to do it. And after you have established that He is able… Continue reading He is willing and able
Bones, come alive!
The hand of the Lord was upon me, and He brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones. And He caused me to pass among them round about, and behold, there were very many on the surface of… Continue reading Bones, come alive!
Hope- to dream
Neurosis, the plague of this age, has resulted in the loss of hope. Neurosis could be described as a disorder characterized by anxiety, depression, or hypochondria. Surveys have shown that one out of four people suffer one of these symptoms. We live in a world where humanism has eroded the one thing humankind needs to… Continue reading Hope- to dream
The search for reality
The prophetic writer CS Lewis once said “If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world. This is so true; we are beginning to awaken as a species. The current world philosophies do not satisfy or come near to… Continue reading The search for reality
Running the race and the purpose of the journey
ROMANS 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and jointheirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.… Continue reading Running the race and the purpose of the journey
Awakenings
Reformation has the thought of reforming, rebuilding, or remodelling back to the original pattern or state. The great spiritual reformation of the 16th century restored truths that had been lost, such as justification by faith in the shed blood of Jesus. These were not new truths, they were restored truths. In reality, the reformation that… Continue reading Awakenings
The fire is coming
There has been much teaching on the role and position of the bondservant, which is necessary and good. However, this level of dedication and service to God must mature to another level, to that of “Friends of God”. This relationship is very different to that of a bondservant. There are those in the Bible that… Continue reading The fire is coming
Expand like the universe
We now know that the universe continues to expand. Growth is a biblical principle that has ever-increasing implications. We begin our earthly life as a fetus in the womb and we continue to grow both physically as well as intellectually. This is also true spiritually, as the Apostle Paul wrote: 1 CORINTHIANS 3:1 And I,… Continue reading Expand like the universe
The journey
Our Christian life is a journey which Scripture portrays as a progressive journey that has unimaginable rewards for those who finish the JOURNEY. This journey finishes at a spiritual or inner place called Zion. It is a place of manifest glory, power, and the realization of the goal. This all takes place while you are… Continue reading The journey
Focusing on the Lord
No worship or praise to the Lord is ever wasted; however, when a service does not have clear-cut guidance, then everyone is going in his own direction, and that is a sure guarantee that nothing will happen in the service. Every minute should count. Every moment should be effective in going some place in the… Continue reading Focusing on the Lord
Be sensitive to God
Cornelius was a centurion, an officer in the Roman army, a professional soldier. However, we are not as interested in this phase of his life as in the fact that he was a devout man, and one who feared God with all his household, and gave many alms to the Jewish people, and prayed to… Continue reading Be sensitive to God
The submission of kings and priests
Our worship must be with a definite element of submission, based upon the divine order that God is restoring. Our test will come in the absolute, total submission to God as He restores divine order, the Church, and His Kingdom. This brings the work of the cross to the old flesh. We do not want… Continue reading The submission of kings and priests
The song of Moses and the Lamb
In Exodus 15, we find the song of Moses which is one of the earliest of the songs found in the Scriptures. These early songs were always songs of victory. As civilization deteriorated (from the head of gold down through the silver and the other symbolic stages depicted in Nebuchadnezzar’s vision in Daniel 2:31–35), we… Continue reading The song of Moses and the Lamb
Circumcision before conquest
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and Marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12. The Lord has a way of bringing a ministry of the… Continue reading Circumcision before conquest
Mere men or men of destiny
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ. I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, for you are still fleshly. For… Continue reading Mere men or men of destiny
Cutting away the old to walk in the new
How many things hath the Lord set before thee in these days? He hath not allowed thee to walk in yesterday’s blessings, but He hath brought all of the wonders of tomorrow and made them available unto thee that you should walk in them. He hath said unto thee, “Behold, separate thyself from the chains… Continue reading Cutting away the old to walk in the new
Feast of first fruits
I want to explain a principle to you, using both the Old and the New Testaments. Let us go to the Word for the scriptural foundation of this principle. You shall not delay the offering from your harvest and your vintage (this means the firstfruits). The first-born of your sons you shall give to Me.… Continue reading Feast of first fruits
Do you have a false image of God?
Behold, when the Prophet Joel did speak of the days in which you are entering now, he spoke of how the Lord would pour out His Spirit and the vats should overflow with wine and oil, that there should be no scarcity, for the people of the Lord would eat in abundance and be satisfied… Continue reading Do you have a false image of God?
Filled with all the fullness of God
I am in Christ; Christ is in me. I can be in the Spirit and the Spirit in me. Being filled with the Spirit requires an understanding of our own spirits and of our spiritual nature. This message should help anyone who has ever had a problem with the Holy Spirit, the baptism of the… Continue reading Filled with all the fullness of God
The dragon’s jaws
In some ways, I think we have overestimated what sermons can do. They are more limited than we realize. We think, “Boy, that was a good sermon; it ought to have changed the world!” But the Living Word, as it is coming now, can change the world. God could bring one word and change the… Continue reading The dragon’s jaws
Broken
A walk with God becomes our whole life. God has invaded us. He hasn’t left any peace in our heart. He keeps bothering us, tapping us on the shoulder, and saying, “There’s something more that I want.” Soon He will even have that last thing we hang on to. Even the right to give Him… Continue reading Broken
Swiftly
There is a liberation and a release coming every time the pastors come together. You know you are liberated and you know there is more liberty to come, but you do not dare sit down and wait for the liberty to come; it comes while you are in motion. We can’t just sit and wait… Continue reading Swiftly
Together
Then the jealousy of Ephraim (double) will depart, and those who harass Judah will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, and Judah will not harass Ephraim. And they will sweep down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west; together they will plunder the sons of the east; they will… Continue reading Together
Accountability
Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the outcome of their way of life, imitate their faith. Obey your leaders, and submit to them; for they keep watch over your souls, as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with… Continue reading Accountability
Bonded
In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul talks about the unity of the Spirit. I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, entreat you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing forbearance to one another in love, being diligent to… Continue reading Bonded
ILLUSION
This message deals with the basic thought of what it is to have no illusions in this Walk with God. Dedication with illusions is dangerous, for somewhere down the line someone is going to stick a pin in your balloon. There will be someone dedicated to rain on your parade. If your dedication is not… Continue reading ILLUSION
Delight
Lord, we thank You and we praise Your name together for all that we see unfolding; the unity we perceive Thou hast wrought among us, the delightful fellowship we have, the way we are delighting in one another with such a supreme rejoicing. We thank You for what is coming, Lord: this breaking of our… Continue reading Delight
All joy
In the second chapter of Philippians there is a very simple passage that is often overlooked. It illustrates the attitude of ministries toward one another, and the attitude of the flock toward the ministries and their shepherds. I rejoice in the reality of what is coming forth among the people. When we come together, we… Continue reading All joy
Meaning
There are three principal feasts: Passover (which includes the Feast of Unleavened Bread), Pentecost (the Feast of Weeks or Firstfruits), and at the end of the year a combination of feasts including the Feast of Trumpets (Shofar), the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), and the Feast of Tabernacles (Succoth). Each of the feasts is an… Continue reading Meaning
Fulfilled
God is bringing forth an interrelationship of true New Testament churches without creating a denomination, but with tremendous effectiveness in their ministry. We are entering into the year of the explosion. Things will happen so fast. We are exploding in every direction. We are entering into unity among the brothers. It is a matter of… Continue reading Fulfilled
I’ll take twice as much
Elijah was the prophet of fire and rain. He brought fire from heaven on the sacrifices and rain to end the drought (I Kings 18:30–46). Elisha was the prophet of the double portion. Elijah’s and Elisha’s ministry had much in common. They were able to smite waters and part them; they brought water in times… Continue reading I’ll take twice as much
The chariots of Israel
Elisha ministered mostly to the ten northern tribes of Israel, who shortly after his ministry were taken into captivity by Syria. Many of the people were destroyed because of their idolatry, for the judgments of God were upon them. Both Elisha and Elijah were a counteracting force in stopping the apostasy in Israel for a… Continue reading The chariots of Israel
Why have you torn your clothes?
In the days of Elijah and Elisha life was rather cheap. Countries which were not very productive preyed on their neighbors. They would raid a neighboring country and steal people to make them their slaves. One little girl who had been kidnapped this way played a significant part in a deliverance God wished to bring.… Continue reading Why have you torn your clothes?
Chariots of fire all around
The underlying theme in the stories of Elisha is the priority and superiority of the spiritual over the natural. This is emphasized in the story of the chariots of fire. To understand life in that day, we must realize that the productivity was not very high. People preyed upon one another in a manner that… Continue reading Chariots of fire all around
Don’t get trampled to death
The stories of Elijah and Elisha give us a picture of what it will be like in the days to come. Elijah and Elisha lived in days of famine, days when people had problems surviving. Elisha dealt more with kings than did Elijah: the king of Syria, the king of Israel, and the king of… Continue reading Don’t get trampled to death
The problems of prophets
In the fourth and the sixth chapters of II Kings are three brief stories of miracles—three problems of the sons of the prophets. The first story is found in II Kings 4:38–41. When Elisha returned to Gilgal, there was a famine in the land. As the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, he… Continue reading The problems of prophets

When Elisha returned to Gilgal, there was a famine in the land. As the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, he… Continue reading The problems of prophets
The prophets mantel
In I Kings 19, we read how the anointing came upon Elisha. Learning this is basic to the walk that God is bringing to His people in the earth. Elijah found Elisha the son of Shaphat, while he was plowing with twelve pairs of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. And Elijah passed… Continue reading The prophets mantel
What are you doing here?
The ministry of Elijah seems to fall into two categories. One ends under a juniper tree (or broom-tree), and the other begins there. The story of this change in Elijah’s ministry is recorded in I Kings 19. Now Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed all the prophets with… Continue reading What are you doing here?
Give me you son
Today there is much fear in the hearts of people, and they wonder what will happen in the world. The righteous know that the world situation will become much worse before it gets better because God is dealing in the earth. We are about to see the greatest visitation of the Lord that has ever… Continue reading Give me you son
The will of God is a state of heart
One thing that is so necessary in order to overcome in this walk is an adequate motivation. There are many good motives you could give for doing things for the Lord, but unless you have the right, perfect motivation, you break down in a time of test. If you worship for what you can receive,… Continue reading The will of God is a state of heart
Away we go
Now we will review, in summary form, a number of instances recorded in the Word where the Feast of Passover was observed. Exodus 12 gives the account of the first Passover which took place in Egypt, when the children of Israel were slaves, living in the land of Goshen. God gave them a Word, which… Continue reading Away we go
Again, the word became flesh!
It was at Passover that Joshua prepared to go into battle. The Captain of the host of Israel, standing on the plains of Jordan, confronted Joshua before he was to lead the army against Jericho, saying, “As Captain of the host of the Lord am I now come” (Joshua 5:14), Joshua bowed down and worshiped… Continue reading Again, the word became flesh!
In the place in which the Lord chooses
Have you ever wondered why God seems to repeat the accounts of certain events in the Bible? The story of the first Passover is recorded in Exodus 12. We find the second account of a Passover in Leviticus 23; it describes the various feasts and the directions concerning their observance. The ninth chapter of Numbers… Continue reading In the place in which the Lord chooses
Give them more than a lamb bone
The books of the Bible which tell of the restoration after the exile in Babylon are precious for us, because they so closely parallel today’s time when God’s people are being restored after leaving Babylon. As we have observed the keeping of the Feast of Passover in recent years, the Lord has given us wonderful… Continue reading Give them more than a lamb bone
A deal is a deal
The twelfth chapter of Exodus is a well-known chapter on the Passover. It is filled with familiar facts concerning that fateful night. It tells about the blood being put on the doorpost and about the eating of the lamb which had been roasted. It recounts how, at God’s command, the Israelites ate that lamb with… Continue reading A deal is a deal
It shall belong to His sons
When Ezekiel was taken captive into Babylon, Daniel had already been there for nine years. Ezekiel and Daniel were probably very close, even though Daniel was related more to the life in the palace, and Ezekiel spent much of his time in the country by a river bank. Frequently he was caught up in the… Continue reading It shall belong to His sons
Where did you lose Him?
Several outstanding occasions of the Passover I found in the Scriptures. One that took place when Jesus was growing up is found in Luke 2:39–52. And when they had performed everything according to the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city of Nazareth. And the Child continued to grow and… Continue reading Where did you lose Him?
Clean house again Lord
The second chapter of John tells us about the first Passover in Jesus’ ministry. It was a Passover of judgment and of miracles; and as such it applies also to the time in which we are living. The Lord is revealing to His people that there will be exploits and judgments visited upon the earth,… Continue reading Clean house again Lord
Off in a cloud of dust
The beginning of the book of Exodus records the story of Moses going down to Egypt at the command of the Lord to lead the children of Israel from bondage. The word “exodus” means “the departure” or “the way out.” The word “exit” is derived from the same root word. The Exodus was the departure… Continue reading Off in a cloud of dust
Dying in the way
So Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him, Bethel. Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she suffered severe labor. And it came about when she was in severe labor that the midwife said to her, “Do… Continue reading Dying in the way
This walk with God
As we walk with God, we face moments of God’s deep searching, moments in which we want things to live that were not truly born of God. Even though God is not really in them, we feel a grieving in our hearts, a reluctance to relinquish them. This is what Abraham faced with his son… Continue reading This walk with God
Obedience to spiritual revelation
A little girl from the land of Israel had been taken captive by the Syrians as a maid for the wife of Naaman. Naaman was the captain of the army of the king of Syria. He was a valiant warrior, and he was also a leper. One day the girl said to her mistress, “Would… Continue reading Obedience to spiritual revelation
God’s covenant of love
GOD’S COVENANT OF LOVE Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end. John 13:1. The Greek word implies, “He loved them to the… Continue reading God’s covenant of love
One heart and a new spirit
God led the children of Israel out of Egypt to make them a people for His own possession. He desired to enter into a marriage covenant with them and spoke to them the commandments or terms of the covenant. When the people heard the voice of the Lord, they responded: “ ‘… if we hear the… Continue reading One heart and a new spirit
The focus that brings peace
When you prophesy against the circumstances that are the evidence of futility, you are effective to some extent; but the real place where futility is conquered is in your spirit. The victory over futility starts with the sons of God and goes forth from them. God has always spoken a word which is deceptive in… Continue reading The focus that brings peace
Have I got a plan for you!
The truths in some chapters in the Bible are especially precious because they explain the present dealings of the Lord upon us and certain experiences we undergo. They also give us a picture of the future which shows us what God is working out in us and what He intends to work out through us.… Continue reading Have I got a plan for you!
It’s is the time!
And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. And the dragon and his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough (let us establish that point firmly in our minds: they were not strong enough), and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven.… Continue reading It’s is the time!
Shout joyfully
The Lord is giving a key that His people need in this day. When the hands hang down and the knees are feeble, it is time for the Lord to bring His strength to His people. If there is an anointing resting upon us, it is an anointing that we should use to prevail over… Continue reading Shout joyfully
Magnify the Lord-minimize what’s his name
In a walk with God you must never become devil conscious but always have your focus centered upon the Lord. If you focus on anything, let it be to obey the Word and magnify the Lord. Many religious groups become so aware of devils that they look for devils instead of the moving of the… Continue reading Magnify the Lord-minimize what’s his name
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
When we see the 10 Commandments in terms of a marriage contract to Israel, to love the lord with all their heart, we will get a clearer understanding of God’s heart. We need to see the correct perspective of all the 10 Commandments and understand a Ketubah. Many people live under an incorrect Old Covenant… Continue reading THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
POWER OR AUTHORITY
In these days the subject of authority is always very important. Satan has emphasized power, and there was a time when power was an issue. Just before His ascension, Jesus told His disciples, “You shall receive power after the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses unto Me” (Acts 1:8). There… Continue reading POWER OR AUTHORITY
THE MAGNIFICENT MEEK
Now it came about on one of those days, that He got into a boat, He and His disciples, and said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” And they launched out. But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended upon… Continue reading THE MAGNIFICENT MEEK
Quicken the mortal
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will,… Continue reading Quicken the mortal
Living in the secret place
The secret place of the most high is our spirit. How do we dwell in the secret place of the most high? How do we live there, how do we connect with that? First we need to realize is that our spirit is not of this world. It came out of heaven into our body… Continue reading Living in the secret place
Wholly sanctified
Let us describe briefly the condition that is in the world. In the world today we speak a great deal of the law of the jungle wherein the stronger devour the weaker. Then you remember Isaiah’s prophecy, “They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain. The wolf shall lie down with the… Continue reading Wholly sanctified
Intensity of desire
Very soon the hunger of people is going to be so great that they will literally demand leadership to enable them to walk with God. We can help create that demand. There’s no point in backing off because we have a few problems. The best way to get rid of problems is to be dedicated… Continue reading Intensity of desire
The dawning of His kingdom
In the days ahead of us, the spirit realm is going to become so real to the believer. There will be visitations that are not vagaries nor obscure impressions, as we walk in the things of another world. This is very Scriptural: it has been there in the Word all the time. We have not… Continue reading The dawning of His kingdom
God will be to you what you believe Him to be
May you experience this Psalm. The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine; God, my rock, in him will I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and My saviour, thou savest me from violence. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy… Continue reading God will be to you what you believe Him to be
Contrary winds
In these days that are so busy we should do everything we can to help and to hold up one another with all faith. Sometimes people misunderstand each other, they misunderstand God and they misunderstand themselves and what is happening to them. If it were not for the revelation and prophecy that come in this… Continue reading Contrary winds
Sitting where they sit
Sometimes people react because of pressures and circumstances that are almost unbelievable. A person ought always to be slow to condemn someone else. What is the old Indian saying? “Never judge another man until you walk in his moccasins for a week.” When Ezekiel was caught away in the Spirit, he had great criticisms. He… Continue reading Sitting where they sit
The path to grace
And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: All these things are against me. Genesis 42:36. All things are against me—Jacob says these words when actually deliverance had been provided by the Lord: Joseph was the… Continue reading The path to grace
Active faith
Take everything that you learn of the principles of this walk, the truths that you have learned, and start putting them into action. Instead of being just one who dreams of things, learn how to bring your dreams into reality. Instead of being one who retreats or withdraws from life, enter into it, and live… Continue reading Active faith
Remember God now in the days of your youth
They shall make that joyful noise in the house of the Lord and offer up the incense of worship unto the praise of the Lord. Let there be within your heart the release, for the Lord speaketh unto thee to loose thee, to make thee a worshiper in spirit and in truth. He brings forth… Continue reading Remember God now in the days of your youth
Let there be a certainty in your heart
Let your heart be lifted with worship unto the Lord; praise ye the Lord together. Let there be in thy heart not a question of what is going to be, but a certainty within your heart that what the Lord hath spoken surely shall come to pass. What the Lord hath prophesied to thee, surely… Continue reading Let there be a certainty in your heart
True counselors and witnesses
In the multitude of counselors there is safety. The church will succeed when its counselors are ordered of God. Where there is no prophecy (no prophetic vision), the people perish. Where there is a word of revelation, not at the mouth of one, but at the mouth of many witnesses, there is safety. The church… Continue reading True counselors and witnesses
The right meditation
What we are and what the Word is to us is largely controlled by our own thinking. To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. Titus 1:15. Those who are the most influenced by their circumstances… Continue reading The right meditation
How do we change
2 Corinthians 3: 16 but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same… Continue reading How do we change
The spirit of heaviness judged
The Spirit speaketh of that which the Body should engage in warfare, of a way that we can enter into victory. The Holy Spirit has brought so real the battle against the spirit of heaviness and the resentment of the enemy that has come upon the people of God until they are heavy and they… Continue reading The spirit of heaviness judged
Coming into an age of honesty
How is this story of repentance and sanctification that is coming to us now different from the old way in the days when Jonathan Edwards wrote a book on repentance? The word repentance is metanoia, the root of the word is metanoeo which consists of two words 1-close associate with.2- thoughts coming into your consciousness.… Continue reading Coming into an age of honesty
God willed to make known
Many times we read Scriptures that we do not always understand until we reach a new spiritual level. Then, suddenly everything we have been reading opens up. Luke 24:30, 31 tells how two disciples on the way to Emmaus were sitting at the table, and Jesus broke the bread. And their eyes were opened and… Continue reading God willed to make known
Our connection to creation must be restored
The whole creation is in pain, can you feel it? But there is also within creation an intense anticipation for the manifestation of the sons of God. The whole of creation is alive, but in decay groining in birth pains for its release from futility. We are also groaning for the redemption of our body.… Continue reading Our connection to creation must be restored
The field of blood
Matthew 27:1Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put Him to death; and they bound Him, and led Him away, and delivered Him to Pilate the governor. Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt… Continue reading The field of blood
The ABC’s of our spirit
MINISTRY I am amazed at how many people have come into a walk with God in recent years and have never heard a basic explanation of ministering and how to minister. We need a simple explanation of what we are—spirit, soul and body—and how we function. There is nothing worse than to get into a… Continue reading The ABC’s of our spirit
THE COCKEYED CHRISTIAN
The Ninety-fifth Psalm is our meditation, but we will first read another passage to which it refers—a story from Exodus 17. And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, by their journeys, according to the commandment of the Lord, and encamped in Rephidim: and there was no water… Continue reading THE COCKEYED CHRISTIAN
Instruction for prophesying 2
Worship must be two ways. You open up and give to the Lord, but in that openness to the Lord, feel yourself drawing. Reach right up, loving the Lord, focusing right on the Lord, and at the same time breathe in and draw from Him. There must be an exchange, a rhythm—drawing and ministering it,… Continue reading Instruction for prophesying 2
Instruction for prophesying
The prophet Isaiah prophesied in the Old Testament that the yoke would be destroyed because of the anointing. One thing we should learn, as we are beginning to prophesy and sing psalms in the service, is to ever strive for a deeper depth of anointing. The depth of anointing is what is important. We can… Continue reading Instruction for prophesying
The New creative flow
According to I Corinthians 14, prophecy is to edify, exhort, and comfort. Many times we have prophecies of exhortation when the need is not to exhort the people, but to edify, to build up, to actually add to the people, and to create in them the things that are to be. Consequently, the prophecies are… Continue reading The New creative flow
Speak it into existence
We are still exhorting too much. One gets up and says, “O people of the Lord, this is what you’re to do and that’s what you’re to do.” It is fine, but it is still a transition prophecy. We will always have prophecies that edify, exhort, and comfort. When we edify the people, we build… Continue reading Speak it into existence
Seeking God
We are going to look at the concept of seeking God and what that means and eventually how we can do that. The Scripture says in Jeremiah 29 versus 13 and 14 you shall seek me and find me when you shall search for me with all of your heart and I will be found… Continue reading Seeking God
WHY METHUSELAH WAS THE OLDEST MAN?
God is long suffering and not willing that any person perish. He is love and that is Who He is, but most people do not know the nature of God. Enoch began to walk with God, because God revealed mysteries to him. Enoch began his walk with God when He was sixty five years old.… Continue reading WHY METHUSELAH WAS THE OLDEST MAN?
What’s happening to time?
Time presents two problems that we must cope with in these last days. One, Satan knows that he has but a short time, and therefore he rages against the inhabitants of the earth (Revelation 12:12); two, unless these days are shortened, no flesh will be saved alive (Matthew 24:22). Because of this, Ephesians 5:16 urges… Continue reading What’s happening to time?
I was watching Satan fall
Are you tired of being within range for Satan to harass you? Satan is completely defeated, but there are areas in which Satan is still allowed to move; and that is by divine design. If you want to be free from his assault, you have to move into an area where he has been cast… Continue reading I was watching Satan fall
We bring it down
WE BRING IT DOWN In the sixth chapter of Matthew’s Gospel is the prayer known as the Lord’s Prayer. There we can discover some deep truths in what seems to be a simple teaching. Some call it the disciples’ prayer, because the disciples asked the Lord how to pray and He gave them this prayer.… Continue reading We bring it down
Liberty or love?
The issue of eating meat that has been sacrificed to idols is no longer a problem in the Church. Therefore, Paul’s exhortation in I Corinthians 8 may seem to be most irrelevant for us today. However, this chapter contains certain principles about spiritual liberty that are important for us to know and that will be… Continue reading Liberty or love?
Are our words living or empty
The goal and objective of every believer should be to speak words that are alive and filled with the anointing and presence of God Himself. The Spirit of God should be released through the words we speak. When our spirit is in contact with the Holy Spirit, we are enabled to draw upon the anointing… Continue reading Are our words living or empty
When you turn to the right hand or the left
Many of the brothers say, “I don’t want to be occupied with a lot of things; just one thing. I don’t want any distractions.” I think that attitude will help you as much as anything possibly could. A Scripture which is a thought for us all is in Isaiah 30. It is speaking about the… Continue reading When you turn to the right hand or the left
Compromise, withdrawal or evasion?
The time has come when the Word must mean a great deal to us. We must come to the realization of the perils and the conditions in which we live. We must realize what effect the surrounding environment will have upon us, how we will be pressured, and what will come out of it. In… Continue reading Compromise, withdrawal or evasion?
Breaking the bondage of bonds
The Word tells us in Acts 4, that after the apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit, great boldness came into their lives as they spoke the Word of the Lord. We may get the idea that this boldness and liberty in the Spirit comes to everyone who has been filled with the Spirit; however,… Continue reading Breaking the bondage of bonds
We need more love
We must sense that we have been put in the wilderness and under the work of the cross. How soon we get out of the wilderness and how soon we stop hanging on a cross is not the issue. How soon does God break down this selfishness? How soon do we flow into the Body?… Continue reading We need more love
A new level of Love
In a walk with God, the lord does not continually lay again the foundation of things we have experienced; instead, we are constantly confronted with new levels and new problems. The problems facing us now do not seem to go away. They are not met by some solution or deliverance; they are designed to remain.… Continue reading A new level of Love
Death and Resurrection
When many people pray they wonder if God has heard them, but if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. 1 john 5:14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 And if we know that… Continue reading Death and Resurrection
There is something strange happening to you
Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing; so that also at the revelation of His glory, you may rejoice with exultation.… Continue reading There is something strange happening to you
Create the meat and the motivation for the heart
Do you have the same experience I have? Often, when I begin to pray my mind wanders. Or, when I start reading the Word, soon I am aware that I’ve been staring at a page for a few minutes; but something has been taking place inside: a deep meditation and communion with the Lord from… Continue reading Create the meat and the motivation for the heart
Food in due season
And Jesus went out from the temple, and was going on his way; and his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple. But he answered and said unto them, See ye not all these things? Verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another,… Continue reading Food in due season
Embracing the Kingdom
Hebrews 2:6-8 But one has testified somewhere, saying, “What is man, that Thou rememberest him? Or the son of man, that Thou art concerned about him? Thou hast made him for a little while lower than the Angels; Thou hast crowned him with glory and honor, And hast appointed him over the works of Thy… Continue reading Embracing the Kingdom
Being a bondservant of the Lord Jesus Christ
Would you like to have the secret of how to make your brothers and sisters great? and would you like to know how Jesus Christ makes us sons of God? You may not understand the principle of how Jesus Christ the Son, Who is so far in advance of us, could take us in the… Continue reading Being a bondservant of the Lord Jesus Christ
The Imperceptible change
Imagine yourself on a beautiful clear day, out in a sailboat, gliding smoothly along on a quiet lake. If you look around once in awhile at the place where you started, you see the shoreline fading away into the distance. Both the distant past and new horizons are opening up to us. It’s almost as… Continue reading The Imperceptible change
Appointed over all that he has
Imagine a painting on a large canvas with a lake in the foreground, a little mountain in the center and far out in the distance a high peak covered with snow. If you came close enough to the canvas to touch it, you would find that the mountain which appears to be so far away… Continue reading Appointed over all that he has
Our Focus
In order to walk with the Lord in victory, it is always important to remember where to focus your consciousness. A person in great pain can go to a hypnotherapist and be put under hypnosis so that the pain can be borne or completely forgotten. Persons with terminal cases of cancer in extreme pain, can,… Continue reading Our Focus
To be a CHRISTIAN
To be a Christian, as I understand Christ, means the acceptance of the absolute authority of Jesus in all of my life. It means that in everything that I am and do when I eat and drink, when I buy and sell, when I work and play, when I read and think—that I take Jesus… Continue reading To be a CHRISTIAN
The Day of Spirit has come!
Anyone who has come up through the Pentecostal movement would have no difficulty in defining the difference between that movement and this walk with God, whereas someone from a denominational church might have a little more difficulty in understanding the difference. The Pentecostal movement was before our time in the 1920’s, 30’s. In the Pentecostal… Continue reading The Day of Spirit has come!
Seize upon God’s word!
I am convinced there isn’t a day we live when we reach over ten per cent of the potential of that day. That is true of the services we have too. I don’t know how to reach it; being emotional, and intense, isn’t the answer. There must be something in our spirit, an expectation that… Continue reading Seize upon God’s word!
Sons, sons, not pigs, not pigs!
A great deal of discipline and self-sacrifice will be found in the life-style of true prophets in the days to come. Unless they are exceedingly careful, they could fall into the trap that destroys prophets: the trap of a legalistic approach to God, thinking that this is the only way to get a word from… Continue reading Sons, sons, not pigs, not pigs!
Lift up your eyes to new horizons
“Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest. Already he who reaps is receiving wages, and is gathering fruit for life eternal; that he who sows and he who… Continue reading Lift up your eyes to new horizons
Transference
In the kingdom of God there are certain spiritual laws or principles that govern it; one of those principles is transference. In order to walk with God we are going to need to learn how the principle of transference works. Transference is the process of moving something from one place or person to another. To… Continue reading Transference
The force of a full heart
This message contains practical teaching about transference that you need to know in your fasting, in your prayer, and in breaking the oppressions of witchcraft and everything else that may come against you. Our first great truth about transference is revealed in Isaiah 53:4–8: Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried;… Continue reading The force of a full heart
Did the Father forsake Jesus on the cross?
Why did Jesus die? Who killed him? What was his death really about? What did Jesus say about it? Jesus knew he was going to the cross, so what was he expecting? Did he say he was going to suffer the just punishment for our sins from his father? Was Jesus expecting abandonment and rejection… Continue reading Did the Father forsake Jesus on the cross?
Your overflowing cup
Just because you have had an experience, it does not necessarily mean that you are full of the Spirit. It is easy to lean on too many things in your walk with God. Some things that were to be a means to an end have become almost an end in themselves. Personal ministry has sometimes… Continue reading Your overflowing cup
A sense of God’s Presence
This is a wonderful day, a day of freedom in the Lord in which we sense that we are being projected into and are just a little closer to the very presence of the Lord. We think of the Parousia as the appearing, the presence of the Lord, or the second coming of the Lord,… Continue reading A sense of God’s Presence
Practice and project the Lord’s presence
David expresses his one desire in Psalms 27:4. One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek; that I may dwell in the House of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to meditate in His temple. There’s a great deal you… Continue reading Practice and project the Lord’s presence
Becoming like Jesus
Religion tells us what to do and what not to do. Christianity tells us what to become and how to become it. However, the church still continues to tell us what to do and what not to do, placing a standard of behavior before us which most find impossible to conform to. In order to… Continue reading Becoming like Jesus
Awareness of His Presence
Our Spirit is the part of us that is conscious of God. We must become aware of our spirit. When we are aware of our spirit, then we become aware of the presence of God that is with us in the natural realm that we live in. But we must first realize that becoming friends… Continue reading Awareness of His Presence
Another seed
There is another seed coming forth in the earth. This seed is critical to the final defeat of Satan and the ushering in of the literal Kingdom of God in this earth. REVELATION 12: 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her… Continue reading Another seed
Aggressively manifesting Christ’s Victory in and through us
As you read this Scripture, let it happen to you. Revelation 19:11 saw heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True; and in righteousness He judges and wages war. This is the emphasis in the book of Revelation—He judges and wages war. Verse 12 And… Continue reading Aggressively manifesting Christ’s Victory in and through us
Keep coming and keep drinking
The book of John is rich in references concerning the annual feasts which were observed by the Jews. Basically, every male in Israel was required to appear before the Lord during the Feasts of Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles in which a total of seven annual feasts were observed. Rituals formed through the years were observed… Continue reading Keep coming and keep drinking
The overflow
We need to seek the Lord until we are literally filled with the Holy Spirit. If we seek Him with all our heart we will find Him. The key is with all our heart. We are either seeking the Lord or we are distracted with something else. When we learn to concentrate our focus with… Continue reading The overflow
Mantle of Praise!
Isaiah 61:1–7 is one of the outstanding prophecies about the Kingdom because it relates to the Kingdom of God as it first comes forth. The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,… Continue reading Mantle of Praise!
The big picture
Let us read, in the following Scriptures, something concerning the birthright and our privileges, the position we have in the Lord. Genesis 25:21–34. And Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord answered him and Rebekah his wife conceived. But the children struggled together within her;… Continue reading The big picture
IMMUTABLE PRESENCE
God often pitches Himself, with His holy presence, on the outside of the camp which is supposed to be carefully following Him. Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, a good distance from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And it came about, that everyone… Continue reading IMMUTABLE PRESENCE
Meeting the Lord
There is nothing greater than having a meeting with the Lord, this is what we should be living for. We need to have a meeting with God, every day. Every time we worship, read the word, every time we pray, we should have a meeting with the Lord. There needs to be a hunger in… Continue reading Meeting the Lord
Becoming totally alive
1 Thessalonians 5:21Prove (command continuous, to test, examine, prove, to see whether a thing is genuine or not) all things; hold fast (occurring now, keep firm possession of) that which is good. 22Abstain (command continuous, keep oneself from, separate from-distance oneself) from all appearance of evil. 23And the very God of peace sanctify (set apart… Continue reading Becoming totally alive
The faith of God
Hebrews 11:1Now (the word does not have to do with time but serves to introduce something else, whether opposed to what precedes or simply continuative or explanatory. Generally it has the meaning of but, and, or also) faith (conviction of the truth of anything, with the included idea of trust, reliance upon, faith has the… Continue reading The faith of God
The substance and the evidence
THE SUBSTANCE AND THE EVIDENCE (As it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, even God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were. Romans 4:17. God and Abraham must have had an interesting relationship. Abraham is… Continue reading The substance and the evidence
Total Repentance
Our focus is very much on the Lord, but because we are moving into days of restoration, many pressures are coming against the people of the Lord. We cannot judge anything on a human level. We cannot condemn anyone, for we do not know the spirit behind his or her actions, the oppressions coming against… Continue reading Total Repentance
The only way of effective change
In these messages on repentance the purpose is not to fill your mind with teaching, but to provide a word that you can meditate on so that it will soak into your spirit. You must absorb it. Have you noticed that when it has not rained for a long time, a sudden downpour does more… Continue reading The only way of effective change
The fruitful repentance
The book of Acts speaks about the restoration of all things, spoken of by the mouths of the prophets, who foresaw these days of restoration. Acts 3: 19Repent (The word repent speaks of the change that takes place in the mind, when we open our heart to the influence of the Spirit) ye therefore, and… Continue reading The fruitful repentance
The Thorn in the flesh
2 Corinthians 12:7Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a angel of Satan to buffet me—to keep me from exalting myself! 8 Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. 9 And He… Continue reading The Thorn in the flesh
Prepare your heart
This is a simple message based on a familiar story, found in Acts 10, of Cornelius and how God met him. Cornelius was a centurion, stationed at Caesarea. This was not Caesarea, Philippi, but a little town that had been built by Herod as a military center and a Roman capital of the whole province.… Continue reading Prepare your heart
How is your heart?
Joel 2:13 says, “Rend your heart and not your garments.” We go through many experiences in our emotions which are often expressions of our spirit. We all get to the place at times where in sorrow, in frustration, or in grief we could react by rending our garments. The Scriptures give many accounts of people… Continue reading How is your heart?
Hidden rebellion and perversity
Human efforts and wisdom fail to unlock the deep areas of problems in our lives. But God searches the depths of the heart, and He has given us the Holy Spirit to help us “examine ourselves” (I Corinthians 11:28). The knowledge that we need for our deliverance comes through the deep “searching” work of the… Continue reading Hidden rebellion and perversity
When mercy triumphs over judgment
James 2:8 says, If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law, according to the Scripture “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. Then James 2:12–13 tells you, So speak and so act, as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty. For judgment will be merciless to one… Continue reading When mercy triumphs over judgment
What is reality
This is a simple little message about reality, about the things that are really real and the things that are not real. We need to recognize what is the truth and what is not the truth. Faith is the approach used by both God and Satan in the contest for human minds and spirits. Faith… Continue reading What is reality
The Mirage
The wilderness and the desert will be glad, and the Arabah (desert) will rejoice and blossom; like the crocus it will blossom profusely and rejoice with rejoicing and shout of joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the majesty of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the Lord, the… Continue reading The Mirage
Paint out the stumps
The last moment before you gain a victory, Satan will throw a device against you like a smoke screen, which I’ve seen him use a thousand times on the people to get them to murmur and become discouraged, to feel as if nothing will happen. A wave of it hits that last attempt right from… Continue reading Paint out the stumps
Stewards of His Fullness
Luke 19:11–27 records the parable of stewardship. And while they were listening to these things, He went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately. He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went to a distant country to receive a kingdom… Continue reading Stewards of His Fullness
The importance of a walk with God
It is significant that one of these oldest portions of the New Testament should speak about the day in which we are living. The earth beareth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. But when the fruit is ripe, straightway he putteth forth the sickle, because… Continue reading The importance of a walk with God
The love habit
It is common for Christians to believe the Word of God, but not too honestly. They may make an application of a Scripture to their lives that does not really work. For instance, they may quote, “If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away,” pointing out that… Continue reading The love habit
The baby stage
John 3: 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The word again means from above. The Father has to draw us; the Holy Spirit has to convict us of sin and… Continue reading The baby stage
Identity
In the realm of eternity, we are a perfected, full grown son of God, totally glorified. This is our identity, if we fulfill our destiny. In this time and space realm, as God reveals our identify in Christ, through the revelation of an aspect of His nature, our spiritual eyes are opened so that in… Continue reading Identity
Our identity
We have been seated with Christ in heavenly places; Jesus is no longer just an individual but a many member body. In the eternal realm we are already perfect in our spirit. But we have to see who we are in the eternal realm, so that we can bring that reality down into our lives… Continue reading Our identity
The Nature of God
To have an intimate relationship with God, we are going to have to know what He is like; to know what He is really, really like. Once we get a revelation of His nature, then we can experience Him in our life. Religion has portrayed an image of God that is not correct, and it… Continue reading The Nature of God
God loves you!
God loved us when we were enemies in our minds by our bad behavior, and He demonstrated that love by dying for us, so that person we were no longer exists. God did not hold our trespasses against us but reconciled us (establishing a relationship of peace with Him) so that we could have fellowship… Continue reading God loves you!
The Lord loveth thee
Before you were ever formed in your mother’s womb, the Lord loved you. You were conceived in his heart back in eternity and He foreknew you and loved you. Behold the day has come that the people of the Lord must understand the compassion that He has had for them from the beginning, and that… Continue reading The Lord loveth thee
Walking with God
In the Garden of Eden, God came down and walked and talked with Adam and Eve. But when sin came, it seperated them from that walk with God. Throughout the Old Testament there are instances where men walked with God. In Genesis 17:1, God said to Abraham: walk before me, and be thou perfect. Abraham… Continue reading Walking with God
Mountain threshers
The Bible is inspired. It is the sword of the Spirit, and that sword is most effectively used when the Spirit Himself makes it burn like fire in our hearts. When we quote Scripture, there is an anointing on it; but when the Holy Spirit Himself brings it to us, it is as real as… Continue reading Mountain threshers
The elemental spirits
We must become identified with the victory that Jesus has won—not only with His redemptive work, but also with His Kingdom. We are very deeply concerned that not only the spirit realm, but the physical realm and the financial realm as well yield to the blessing of the Lord. God spoke to His people through… Continue reading The elemental spirits
The intensity the Lord wants in our spirit
The Lord has revealed with many illustrations from the Scriptures the intensity He wants in our spirit: how aggressive and violent, how ruthless and relentless our spirit is to be as it pursues after the Lord. God never intended that man should be anything other than a triune nature. We are not trying to reach… Continue reading The intensity the Lord wants in our spirit
We have softened the rock
A scriptural study of the judgment of the nephilim and the gods of Egypt helps us to understand the judgment upon the gods of this age. The judgments that happened in Egypt have deep significance today. What God was doing in the first Passover, against all of the gods of Egypt, was one of the… Continue reading We have softened the rock
Understanding ourselves
Our spirit generally falls into one of two categories. It is either an objective spirit or a subjective spirit. Usually this can be seen in a child soon after he is born. The objective spirit tends to be spiritually scientific in its approach to things; whereas the subjective spirit tends to be more emotionally religious… Continue reading Understanding ourselves
Changing the atmosphere
The Lord has that unique ability to feel our pain. To worship Him in the midst of a dark place brings Him incredible joy-this move’s His heart deeply-what a privilege! What is worship? It is a bowing down, it is surrendering our life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and magnifying who he is in… Continue reading Changing the atmosphere
Earnest expectation
The day of casual evangelism is over. People will never believe what God is doing and saying in the earth today unless God first takes away the veil and brings a release from the dullness that is on their hearts. The demonic spirits that deceive and hold people in deception must be removed. The bulk… Continue reading Earnest expectation
Expect the unexpected
The end of Matthew 24 and the beginning of Matthew 25 give us parables and teaching about the time in which we are living. The first part of Matthew 24 deals with various signs of the end time and then shows how Christ’s teaching becomes very personal to the disciples and to the believers who… Continue reading Expect the unexpected
The day of small things
In this day the Lord is revealing the principle of reversal. It is an end-time manifestation of both Mary’s Magnificat and Hannah’s song of praise. These women rejoiced in the way God brought down the rich and sent the full away empty, but exalted the poor. James prophesied that the rich should rejoice that God… Continue reading The day of small things
Every blow has to count
Our walk with God is actually a race with destiny. In I Corinthians 9, Paul gives us some rules for the race. Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain. And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth… Continue reading Every blow has to count
Spiritual cannibalism
In the Body of Christ there must be the life flow of Christ from one member to another in an openness without any walls. There must be a deep sense of appropriating from one another and giving to one another in purity. A pure flow exists when there is a determination not to draw life… Continue reading Spiritual cannibalism
Extract the precious from the vile
The spirit of a person has a porous quality, very much like a sponge. A certain element of this quality can be self-destructive unless it is corrected. If a man reaches out in his spirit and soaks up everything, eventually he becomes a composite of all the emotions, the feelings, and the defeats of people… Continue reading Extract the precious from the vile
Prophetic ministry
We are living in the closing days of this dispensation. If any ministry is important in these climactic days, it is the prophetic ministry. There is a tremendous need to hear clearly from God in these days. The Word of God created the heavens and the earth, and the entire universe is held together by… Continue reading Prophetic ministry
The pure Ministry of judgment
As the Love of God is perfected in us, and we come into maturity, where we have the mind of Christ, God will entrust to us the ministry of Judgment. We are the Body of Christ, as we grow up into Him, we shall think like Him, feel the same way He feels, and none… Continue reading The pure Ministry of judgment
Your sight in the spirit world
Our spirit – the new creation man – needs to be clothed in power. When our spirit was quickened and received the nature in seed form of Jesus Christ, so we have all that Jesus is in nature, and we grow up into that as we yield to the Lord and that nature becomes our… Continue reading Your sight in the spirit world
Now the accepted time
Paul begins the sixth chapter of II Corinthians by saying, And working together with Him… The phraseology is always so careful in Paul’s language. We have degenerated into a generation of Christians who work for the Lord and who think, “Jesus needs someone to work for Him.” He needs no one to work for Him.… Continue reading Now the accepted time
Pressed up, caught up
It is so important that the Lord cause our faith to center on the word that is coming, for it is literally driving us into the Lord. We bless our reception of the word. When the pull of faith is as strong in the hearer as the inspiration is to preach the Word, receptive hearts… Continue reading Pressed up, caught up
How to find the will of God
The first essential step toward this goal is receiving Jesus as our Lord and savior, so that our sin can be blotted out and then by a divine creative act God can begin to form us into a completely new creation, a completely new kind of person. The will of God is first of all… Continue reading How to find the will of God
His kingdom or our kingdoms
The Scriptures paint a panorama that lays a foundation concerning the Kingdom of God. We find a thread running all the way through the Word of God about God’s Kingdom. In the Old Testament, when God called Israel out of Egypt, He had one thing in mind—they were going to be His people. He instructed… Continue reading His kingdom or our kingdoms
Our dedication to violence of spirit
We must become dedicated to the violent approach. Some who are older often think, “Well, I don’t know; this is good for the young people, but it’s not too good for me.” There has to be something in your spirit which rises above the spirit of the age. The children of this age have a… Continue reading Our dedication to violence of spirit
Multiplying the power through unity
We want the keys to the greater works that God says are to be done. Jesus said, “The works that I do shall ye do also, and greater works than these shall ye do” (John 14:12). What is the key of those greater works? God’s power is a key, even as it was in the… Continue reading Multiplying the power through unity
The body prays
A certain pattern of prayer has become real to those who walk with God; it has been revealed and put into action. The book of Acts gives us the pattern of prayer in the early Church. They were all in one accord, in one place (Acts 2:1). When the apostles were released after being threatened,… Continue reading The body prays
Dedicated to unity
The Lord has given the Word that we are to stand together as one, willing to lay down our lives for the brethren, contending for the unity of this Body in the name of the Lord. We will not break ranks nor thrust one another (Joel 2:7, 8). This is the key. We will not… Continue reading Dedicated to unity
The Priority of His Lordship
This is not an hour in which thy heart should be heavy. No matter what your need is, you should rejoice in what the Lord brings forth in the earth. It is a day when the ministries are surely decreasing, and the Lord is increasing. Day by day you find that the Lord is bringing… Continue reading The Priority of His Lordship
Operation buddy
God is bringing a Word that will produce unity in the Body, a standing fast with one spirit that has not been seen in two thousand years. John 17:21“I pray that they all may be one, Father, as We are one, that the world may believe that Thou has sent Me” We are ready for… Continue reading Operation buddy
Our faithfulness
Here are two classical passages in the New Testament on stewardship. In each one we see that “faithfulness” is emphasized. This amazing quality is the seventh in the graces of the wonderful fruit of the Spirit named in Galatians, chapter five. The first passage begins in I Corinthians 4:1, Let a man so account of… Continue reading Our faithfulness
Manifesting our spirit
To manifest our spirit, we have to activate it through speaking in tongues, silently or out loud. Our spirit has to expand within us, until it comes to the forefront of our consciousness, where we experience the life flow of the Spirit in it. To manifest our spirit we have to be filled with the… Continue reading Manifesting our spirit
Waking your spirit
Have you noticed that the biggest factor in your walk with God is that you fail to wait on the Lord, you fail to read the Word and you fail to pray? This is very common in most christians. But I can give you a key so that each day can be lived in the… Continue reading Waking your spirit
Waking our spirit
If we learn how to walk in the spirit, we will not fulfill the desire of the flesh, that union of soul and body that wants to act independently of God. In order to walk in the spirit, we are going to have to become aware of our spirit. So when we wake up in… Continue reading Waking our spirit
Hearing God’s voice
The great unchanging basic requirement for an ongoing relationship with God is to hear God’s voice. In other respects God’s way of relating to mankind has changed with the different dispensations. But this one requirement of hearing God’s voice continues unchanged throughout all dispensations. This requirement is summed up in the prophet Jeremiah 7:23 where… Continue reading Hearing God’s voice
Have you repented?

Why do we call God father?
The Word of God tells us very clearly that God is the “Father of spirits.” Hebrews 12:9, “Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us and we respected them, shall we not much rather be in submission unto the Father of spirits, and live?” What Makes a Father? A father is a person who has… Continue reading Why do we call God father?
Understanding ourselves
We are spirit, soul and body. We are not a spirit that has a soul and lives in a body. When our spirit entered the womb of our mother our human body began to form and our soul was created. Our spirit existed before this but not our soul. Our spirit came out of heaven… Continue reading Understanding ourselves
The fine line
Man is a trinity. He is created with a body, soul and spirit. Having been born with a body ,which is the only visible part of us, we are limited in our understanding of the unseen, intangible, complete self, the real self, the soul and the spirit. Yet, the eternal you is not your body,… Continue reading The fine line
The word of power
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matthew 24:14. This coming move of God isn’t a dying missionary effort.

The believers Joy
There are two kinds of joy, one is affected by circumstances, this is human joy, the other is the joy of the Lord, and it takes us through all circumstances. Rejoice is in the imperative mood in the Greek, it is a commandment. We are to rejoice always —I Thessalonians 5:16. The world today is… Continue reading The believers Joy
The second golden grace
Now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13:13.

The Fruit of the Spirit
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control; against such there is no law. And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof. If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk. Galatians 5:22–25.… Continue reading The Fruit of the Spirit
Make it happen
In a walk with God we need to understand the balance of the sovereign leading of the Lord and human initiative. Just how much do we take our own life in our own hands and plan it, and just how much do we look to God for every decision, every answer? The word of the… Continue reading Make it happen
Beholding your new self
In the eternal realm of God’s Spirit we are already perfect, and that perfection is being manifested progressively in the natural realm. Hebrews 10:14 for by one sacrifice He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. We need to see ourselves through God’s eyes, the finished work of Jesus Christ. 2 CORNTHIANS 3:18But we… Continue reading Beholding your new self
Repent as Sons
Our whole concept of repentance is changing. God is imparting to us the mind of Christ, the mind of sons and this will be a dynamic change for us. When David sinned against the Lord by committing adultery with Bathsheba, getting her pregnant and then killing her husband to try and cover it up ,he… Continue reading Repent as Sons

Familiar spirits
Familiar spirits are personalities without bodies and are looking for human bodies to inhabit in order to express themselves in the earth.

We need to learn how to… Continue reading Realms of Anointing
The Dedication Revelation
If your dedication to the Lord is constantly increasing, this can be very difficult for others to live with on the human level. Dedication presents many difficulties at the time, but out of it comes something very worthwhile in the Kingdom of God. Never put anyone down because they have not elected to be as… Continue reading The Dedication Revelation
Submit and reject
In the fourth chapter of James are ten verses which have to do with a part of submission we have never seen. There is a resistance in submission, a resistance that is aggressive and very necessary. Most of us never will know the powerful position we put ourselves in when we become totally and completely… Continue reading Submit and reject
Spiritual or religious?
Beware of religious goodness! What makes this walk with God live for the younger generation is the fact that there is a spiritual reality and a dedication. There is also a certain freedom. Religion tends to put people in straitjackets. Because they can’t reach the basic thing of a person’s spirit they try to reach… Continue reading Spiritual or religious?
Ezekiel’s river
Would you like to know the power that you can build up by realizing one basic spiritual law?

The force of electricity, for example, tends to diminish, the further it goes, because of… Continue reading Ezekiel’s river
Let Jesus answer the door
Revelation 3:19–22 is part of the message to the seventh church of Asia, the church of Laodicea. “ ‘Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and… Continue reading Let Jesus answer the door
A meeting with the Lord
There are sermons that give an exposition to try to exhaust a story and all the shades of meaning, but sometimes you remember more if someone takes one or two principles out of a passage of Scripture and relates it to you, where you are living. It helps to follow the example of some man… Continue reading A meeting with the Lord
The breaking of day
Before Jacob or Esau was born the Lord foreknew them. Jacob he loved but Esau he hated. Esau is a type of the flesh. The flesh is unredeemable, it cannot be saved, and it must be crucified. Esau sought a place of repentance, but he could not find it. But Jacob was different. He sought… Continue reading The breaking of day
Prayerlessness the sin against the Lord
Samuel, in his address to Israel at a critical time in the war with the Philistines, says: Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you. I Samuel 12:23. Sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for people? Yes! Why would… Continue reading Prayerlessness the sin against the Lord
If I regard iniquity in my heart
Come, and hear, all ye that fear God, And I will declare what he hath done for my soul. I cried unto him with my mouth, And he was extolled with my tongue.

The spirit of an effective intercessor
There are five qualities of the spirit of an effective intercessor which are very important for us to grasp, for this is what we want to be. First of all, an intercessor has a right spirit (or a righteous spirit). Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy,… Continue reading The spirit of an effective intercessor
Intercession in the Kingdom
This message will be a revelation to your heart of what intercession will be like in the days of the Kingdom, and why it is essential that the end-time restoration be geared a great deal to the ministry of prayer and intercession. No one can have an effective ministry without also being an intercessor. As… Continue reading Intercession in the Kingdom
The necessity of travail
Isaiah said of Zion, “So shall thy sons marry thee,” (Isaiah 62:5). Zion brings forth sons and they in turn are the cause of her fruitfulness. It is an interaction in the Spirit; churches come forth through apostolic ministry and they in turn give birth to higher levels of apostolic ministry. It works back and… Continue reading The necessity of travail
Intercession in the Spirit
Intercession is identified with spiritual warfare. In Ephesians 6:10, 11 it says, Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, and then the passage speaks of the various pieces of the armor and ends in verses 17 and 18 speaking about …the sword… Continue reading Intercession in the Spirit
Every member an intercessor
The twelfth chapter of the book of Acts tells that Herod seized James, the brother of John, and slew him. When he saw that it stirred up so much favorable comment among the Jews that were anti-Christian, he put Peter in prison, thinking that after the Passover he would bring him out and kill him,… Continue reading Every member an intercessor
Intercession
Intercession is one of the least understood and vital subjects of our day. We are beginning to see the emergence of a worldwide prayer movement that is having a phenomenal effect on the way God is moving today. God is raising up the tabernacle of David, in our day. This is a worship and prayer… Continue reading Intercession
What is the anointing?
It is the ability of God that is imparted into us, to do his work. Without him we can do nothing of eternal value, but through him we can do all things. God has to put into us his ability to do his work; we become a co-laborer with God by yielding, to the anointing… Continue reading What is the anointing?
Spiritual warfare
A large proportion of the Bible deals with warfare in the spirit realm. The Apostle Paul said that our battle is not with flesh and blood, but with dark spiritual power Ephesians 6:12. The Bible begins with warfare in paradise and ends with warfare in the book of Revelations. If we are to be successful… Continue reading Spiritual warfare
The new motivation of Spirit
God is bringing us to a new drive and motivation in the Kingdom, and it is very important for you to understand exactly where you are in this process and what is going to happen next. At times a discouragement and a heaviness settles upon people, yet they are not discouraged. They worship the Lord… Continue reading The new motivation of Spirit
Progenitors of a new age
The Ephesians church is a model of city taking, what God wants to do in these last days. There was about 225,000 people in the city, it was the center of trade and commerce. The temple of Diana was the focal point of this city. (Acts 19) It was a Pagan, and an immoral City,… Continue reading Progenitors of a new age
The kingdom proclaimed
In this day God is restoring authority and providing a way that the futility, which is on all creation, be loosed by the sons of God, who are coming into their redemption and authority. Although we realize what God is doing, we must also understand that the enemy will contest it bitterly, and that God… Continue reading The kingdom proclaimed
The Right hand
The Lord has been speaking about the manifestation of the sons of God and the release of all creation from futility. This spirit of futility is not only raging in your circumstances, but it is also raging against you individually. The people who have been marked to walk with God have been more harassed and… Continue reading The Right hand
Identical with Christ
The basis of the gospel is the fact that Christ was wounded for our transgressions and chastised for our iniquities, and by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). This is the basis of our faith. We identify ourselves vicariously with Him in His experiences; we are aware that He wrought all on our behalf.… Continue reading Identical with Christ
Quicken the mortal
We are deeper into the days of His Kingdom than even we ourselves realize. The sons of God who have entered into a walk with God have journeyed through the work of the cross and the baptism of fire on their way to the manifestation of authority. They have learned not to stop at merely… Continue reading Quicken the mortal
The Word of truth
Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is useless, and leads to the ruin of the hearers. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth. But… Continue reading The Word of truth
They spoke the word of God!
The early disciples had a unique power to turn the world upside down. The secret of their success was not their human abilities or natural talents. Their secret was the releasing of the nature and the power of God in the word they spoke. The early believers did not talk about the Scriptures or even… Continue reading They spoke the word of God!
Filled to walk in His perfect will
What is repentance? It is receiving Gods thoughts into our consciousness, causing us to change the way we think about something and think like God does about it. The reason that you may not receive as much blessing as you could receive is that you are asking the Lord to fill you with His Spirit… Continue reading Filled to walk in His perfect will
Emphasize the positive and eliminate the negative
There are many requests and burdens that people are looking for God to fill; however, the Lord must bring us into one Body before He meets us as individuals, for this is the day of the Body ministry. When God starts blessing a body of believers and we claim the things God has for the… Continue reading Emphasize the positive and eliminate the negative
The danger of a divided heart
Although we are faced with many challenges, we have only one responsibility, just as Israel had in the Old Testament: follow the cloud—that’s all—just follow that cloud. And sometimes the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of the Lord they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of… Continue reading The danger of a divided heart
What is Pentecost?
The Feast of Pentecost came at the end of the wheat harvest, the sixth day of Sivan, the third month, Israel observed it in commemoration of the giving of the law. There are hidden meanings in the Feast of Pentecost, and the Lord is revealing what it really means. On the day of Pentecost the… Continue reading What is Pentecost?
Revelation and concealment in the Word
But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost; for a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries. I Corinthians 16:8–9. Did Paul actually know the significance of the Feast of Pentecost? Or was he only thinking about a certain day or limit of time: “I’ll stay here until a… Continue reading Revelation and concealment in the Word
Jonah, the prophet without love
The more I meditate upon the Word of God, the more I am persuaded that finding the love of God in a church or in a Christian is not as common as one might think. Of course there is always a certain degree of love to be found. But the love that God really wants… Continue reading Jonah, the prophet without love
Are you earth bound?
The Bible always comes alive to our hearts in a special way during a period of afflictions and testings. How can we hope to understand some of David’s cries in the Psalms unless we also experience the same deep afflictions and testings, the same despair he felt when he saw the arrogance and prosperity of… Continue reading Are you earth bound?
Prophecy
I Corinthians 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: I am assuming that you understand the use of the gift of prophecy. God uses this kind of communication at times to speak to His people.… Continue reading Prophecy

Matthew 16:3 And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O [ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not [discern] the signs of the times? It Includes: Words, Feelings, Pictures (vision), Music, etc. God also uses physical signs to… Continue reading Sign language
Co-operating with destiny
We are learning to walk with God in our destiny. The provision needed to fulfill our destiny is deposited in the heavenlies, ready for us to appropriate. II Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which… Continue reading Co-operating with destiny
The language of vision
Visions are God’s Pictorial Language Numbers 12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, [and] will speak unto him in a dream. John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto… Continue reading The language of vision
What is love?
As God speaks to us, we realize that we must have more love. There are many Scriptures, especially in I Thessalonians and I John, which show us the character and the nature of the love that God wants us to have. A careful study of these Scriptures will reveal seven keys to more love. At… Continue reading What is love?
No love
I Corinthians 13 has been called “the chapter on love.” It could also be renamed “the chapter about no-love,” because it deals with our limitations and the way they affect our love. It speaks of limited and pointless knowledge, as well as ministries which are ineffective. A man once defined salt: “Salt is what makes… Continue reading No love
Immune
When the prophet Micah saw what would take place in the end time, he saw it more immediately as it would happen to natural Israel; but he also saw into the future when God would deal with His people in the end time. He said, Zion will be as a plowed field. Micah 3:12. To… Continue reading Immune
Double trouble
It is very important that we learn how to think as God thinks; perhaps not as deep, but after the same patterns and channels of thought. We need the Lord to teach us His ways, to teach us of His love. I do not know how Adam thought about things, but I do know that… Continue reading Double trouble
Thunderbolt
Chaziz (pronounced kauseez) is a Hebrew word which expresses many things, and it occurs in the first verse of Zechariah 10. Ask rain from the Lord at the time of the spring rain—the Lord who makes the storm clouds (chaziz); and He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each man.… Continue reading Thunderbolt
Double
Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha said, “Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” And he said, “You have asked a hard thing.” II Kings 2:9, 10a. We are familiar with the story of Elijah and his wonderful… Continue reading Double
The victory and the promises of the Lord
When God promises us a double portion, it means that there is not only a portion of grace, but also a portion of judgment. Sometimes grace can come to sustain us and help us to endure things, but judgment comes many times to loose us in areas where we need to be set free. How… Continue reading The victory and the promises of the Lord
Am I burned up?
These are the days of spiritual fire, the baptism of fire that burns out the chaff. If you will accept the fire, the Lord will give it to you and will work it in you perfectly. The first part of you to go through the fire should be your head, so that you cannot reason… Continue reading Am I burned up?
Worthy of the kingdom
It is amazing how the Lord sometimes emphasizes a truth to our hearts which may have seemed insignificant; but suddenly its importance is magnified in that moment when the Lord gives it emphasis. The Lord is now bringing a truth before us which has previously escaped our attention. Now it is suddenly magnified and we… Continue reading Worthy of the kingdom
The peril of strange fire
The Lord is bringing revelation about the ministry of fire and the experience of fire in the end time. In Leviticus, chapters 8 and 9, you can read about Aaron’s consecration to the high priesthood, and the instructions the Lord gave concerning the sacrifices which were made to consecrate Aaron and his sons. In chapters… Continue reading The peril of strange fire
Judgment- past and present or future?
Although believers in past generations were able to participate in the fire of the Lord in a measure, the experience is specifically reserved for those who will enter into it today. When Aaron’s sons presented strange fire before the Lord, they were struck dead (Leviticus 9 and 10). In the end time, one thing that… Continue reading Judgment- past and present or future?
Who starts the fire?
God anoints a true foundational ministry not only to present the truth of the Scriptures, but to seek every way possible whereby He can instruct you how to experience that truth. He does not preach a beautiful experience that is unattainable; his main objective is to set a goal before you in the Word and… Continue reading Who starts the fire?
The continual burnt offering
The observances which the Lord established in the Old Testament on a rather physical plane of worship pointed to something deeply spiritual and seemingly intangible. A believer is unable to apply them spiritually unless God reveals what they symbolize. In the New Testament, the Lord used the parables in the same way. He called attention… Continue reading The continual burnt offering
Baptized into one body
Many of us do not realize that there is a difference between what people have voiced in receiving the Holy Spirit and the original experience that is recorded in the second chapter of Acts. And when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven… Continue reading Baptized into one body
The soothing aroma to the Lord
On the day of Pentecost thousands were added to the Church. They were the firstfruits. The word “firstfruits” refers to the season’s first ripened fruit. People who live in cold climates eagerly look forward to the first strawberries in early spring. After the snow melts, the tender shoots of rhubarb which emerge from the ground… Continue reading The soothing aroma to the Lord
The harvest of first fruits
“Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me. You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed.… Continue reading The harvest of first fruits
An offering by fire
The sacrifices described in the book of Leviticus illustrate what God wanted eventually in the realm of spirit for His people. The children of Israel were rather primitive in the sense that they made animal sacrifices. They were doing what God told them to do, but they were accomplishing their worship on a low physical… Continue reading An offering by fire
The brightness of a burning fire
For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, “We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!” Isaiah 4:1. Initially, this prophecy was fulfilled in the days of the exile in Babylon, after many men had… Continue reading The brightness of a burning fire
Preparation by fire
“Over all the brightness of a flaming fire…for over all the glory will be a canopy” (Isaiah 4:5).

The days of fire
These are the days of fire. Expect to see more judgments in the earth.

The authority in His name
This message will present another legal aspect of our position, of our privileges in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the fantastic provisions that He has made for every need—not only things that we consider needs from a human viewpoint, but the needs that we have now as we appropriate His perfect eternal purpose to bring… Continue reading The authority in His name
We have the key
In considering the things that God has provided for us, it is very important that we talk about the treasury, the vault where all the goodies are stored. As we enter into a Scriptural study, we will begin to understand what spiritual access really means, and we will become aware of the fact that we… Continue reading We have the key
The administrator
When we consider our glorious heritage in the Lord, the first question we might ask is, “How big is the estate.” We want to know what is there for us. In their advertisements, large savings and loan companies try to impress us with their size and their security, “We have fifty million dollars in assets,”… Continue reading The administrator
The trust fund
The Bible is a book of promises and covenants, of laws and principles, of judgments and pardons. Our faith and our future is based upon all of these. May the Holy Spirit illuminate these messages, so that you may know what is very legally yours. When the heirs of a large estate gather to hear… Continue reading The trust fund
The refining fire
The Gospel of Mark begins without any introduction or any explanation. The Spirit of God moved through Mark to write no preliminaries, nothing about the birth of Christ or His early, tender years, no explanation that He is the Son of God. Mark simply starts, The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son… Continue reading The refining fire
Death by fire
Many present-day believers have embraced the concept of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and fire, but very few actually know what it is about. The Pentecostal movement did not understand the baptism of fire at all, but even those who have come into greater revelation seem to have no more than a glimmer of… Continue reading Death by fire
The persecuted
This last Beatitude is so contrary to human nature that it is difficult to understand what it is all about unless you see it from God’s viewpoint. As you read this, your attitude will change toward involvement for God, toward persecution and reproach, toward being an oddball—the kind of person who is so different that… Continue reading The persecuted
The peacemakers
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the sons of God. Matthew 5:9. To be a peacemaker is to be almost like the old gun called the Peacemaker. It was called the Peacemaker because in the hands of a few men, the wild West was subdued. It was a rough one, a forty-five… Continue reading The peacemakers
The pure in heart
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8. This is a simple little statement in many people’s thinking: “If I’m pure when I die, I’ll go to heaven and see Jesus.” But none of these beautiful Beatitudes are simple statements; they are involved with very complex principles and doctrines of… Continue reading The pure in heart
The merciful
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Matthew 5:7. What a simple little statement! Mercy does not cost anything, but neither can you buy it. Mercy doesn’t seem to be very valuable until you need it. Then it is one of the most precious things in all the world. It is something you… Continue reading The merciful
Wisdom
We live in a time of real disturbing lawlessness, which according to God’s word will continue to increase as we continue down to the end of this age. God said this about wisdom: ISAIAH 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times. While we cannot change that which is set, that… Continue reading Wisdom

The need for leadership
“Any areas where we are not dependent upon Jesus are marked for trouble. The trouble will bring us back to dependence upon Him, and anything we are not using for the Kingdom of God we will eventually lose.” We need to understand that no matter what our vocation, leadership is something we need to embrace… Continue reading The need for leadership
We would see Jesus
JOHN 12:21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. We are living in the information age.

The glory of the latter house
HAGGAI 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

PHILIPPIANS 3:12 Not as though I had already… Continue reading Finishing the race
To walk with God is essential for survival
Walking in the Spirit is not an optional extra; it is an essential requirement if we are going to survive the next few years. The end-times are not going to be a picnic, as we see the maturing of evil, as well as good, begin to accelerate. The clash between light and darkness will become… Continue reading To walk with God is essential for survival
The transitory nature of this life
HEBREWS 11:9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10. For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. JAMES 4:14 14. Whereas ye know not what… Continue reading The transitory nature of this life

GENESIS 26:18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. Often in our search for answers, we tend… Continue reading Re-digging the old wells
The power of light to transform
JOHN 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 1 JOHN 1:5. This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. I JOHN 2:9 He that saith he is in the light,… Continue reading The power of light to transform
The harvest
We need long periods of interacting with and being empowered by the presence and glory of God. Interacting with the manifest presence of God opens up another dimension – a place and presence where we can be touched by God in no other way; it is a place of revelation, commissioning, and empowerment. ACTS 4:31… Continue reading The harvest
Sermon on the Mount
Matthew chapters 5 to 7 record what has become known as the Sermon on the Mount, which includes the Beatitudes. These writings are the foundation on which everything else in the New Testament is built upon. The teachings of Jesus are the foundation stones that Paul and the other writers of the New Testament used… Continue reading Sermon on the Mount
The gospel of the kingdom
MATTHEW 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Jesus clearly said that the Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached to all nations before He returns. What is the Gospel of the Kingdom? The Church is… Continue reading The gospel of the kingdom
Touch him
God is stirring up many hearts for a deep, penetrating meeting with Him. How quickly people can come into the presence of the Lord today! Because this is the great and marvelous day of the Parousia, it is much easier to break into the presence of the Lord than ever before. When you read the… Continue reading Touch him
The Manchild
To understand revelation 12, we need to see it as a revelation of a principle, more than the revelation of a specific event. When we understand the principle, we will realize it has worked time and time again, even though there will be an outstanding fulfillment of it in the end time. The interpretations of… Continue reading The Manchild
Work the living works
When you say, “Have faith,” are you actually saying, “Have hope”? Hope reaches out to the future and believes that God will eventually move in a situation, and this hope is often mingled with faith. But now there has to be a change. We must believe for the tremendous works of God to be wrought… Continue reading Work the living works
The day of fire and rain
God has been speaking a great deal about the ministry that is to come forth in the earth. There is much we can learn from the Scriptures which tell us about the ministry of Elijah. First, in Matthew 17:1–13, we read about Elijah’s appearance on the Mount of Transfiguration. And six days later Jesus took… Continue reading The day of fire and rain
The barrier to loves flow
It is often a struggle to believe that God really loves you, although you may be convinced that He loves others, for you see His love flowing to them. Many problems stem from this mistrust of His love: a basic mistrust of the love the Lord has for you. Hebrews 12:5–8 tells us: “Whom the… Continue reading The barrier to loves flow
Principles of displacement
If we were to try to create in the natural realm a picture of the human spirit, it would not be at all like a ghost; it would be more like a sponge. When hands are laid on people, it is not their minds, but their spirits that do the absorbing. They absorb the blessing… Continue reading Principles of displacement
The redemption of pain
All that we have inherited from Adam through our DNA, that has brought destruction into our life, shall be displaced, as the DNA of God expands within us. The enemy has lied to us for a long time about our value and worth. He has caused us to believe that our identity is the broken… Continue reading The redemption of pain
Defilements of spirit
When our spirit was generated, made alive with the eternal life of God, we were born of the spirit. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. But when our spirit is not drawing the life of God it can become defiled, no longer clean and pure and holy. When we were born from above… Continue reading Defilements of spirit
The perfecting of our spirit
When we are born from above, the seed of God is conceived in our spirit. The seed of God is the D.N.A of God and is perfect. The seed of God is the living Word of God, Christ in us the hope of Glory. The seed or life of God in us cannot sin. 1… Continue reading The perfecting of our spirit
They that hunger and thirst
Jesus said in Matthew 5:6, Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Now this is not a hunger for experiences, nor is it a hunger for blessings. It is not a hunger to have a ministry, and it is not a hunger for a position or a place.… Continue reading They that hunger and thirst
The meek
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5. It is good to know that God is going to turn the earth over to the meek, and it is important that we understand who the meek are. The meek are gentle and mild, they are humble. They are kind and forgiving, they… Continue reading The meek
They that mourn
In Matthew 5 is a Beatitude speaking about mourning, a quality of spirit the Lord has laid before us which is a key of the Kingdom. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4. In the preceding chapter we are told, And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their… Continue reading They that mourn
The poor in spirit
Picture yourself in the crowd that day when the Lord sat down on a little hill with the people gathered around, and He taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3. The Word is so concentrated. How long do you suppose it took Him to… Continue reading The poor in spirit
The sermon on the Mount
The Lord wants to purify our spirits. We realize it is necessary for we still have things in our spirits which we know should not be there. Because we want a right spirit we pray, “Lord, renew a right spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10). How will we have that right spirit? The Holy Spirit brings… Continue reading The sermon on the Mount
Persistence
On the surface, the Bible is basically a pessimistic, gloomy book, especially when it relates to prophecy. This is the thing that bothers a lot of Christians when they read the Word. We keep talking about the day of the Lord, but read those Old Testament Prophets: the day of the Lord is something that… Continue reading Persistence
Cut out of the mountain
There are many facets to the work that God is doing in the earth today. Unless you have anointed eyes to see the purity of it, you may stumble, and because of human rationalization, misinterpret much of what God does. To avoid such a human viewpoint, determine to be totally one with what God sets… Continue reading Cut out of the mountain
Sitting where they sit
Sometimes people react because of pressures and circumstances that are almost unbelievable. A person ought always to be slow to condemn someone else. What is the old Indian saying? “Never judge another man until you walk in his moccasins for a week.” When Ezekiel was caught away in the Spirit, he had great criticisms. He… Continue reading Sitting where they sit
To see the Lord
We should have a real desire to see the Lord. Hebrews 9:28 tells us: Unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. In John 3:3 we read: Every man that hath this hope within him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. We read in the Scriptures… Continue reading To see the Lord
Characteristics of love
One of the most popular subjects that has ever interested the heart of any man or woman is love. This is something that people are interested in: if they don’t have it they are interested in getting it; if they do have it, they find it is one of the most tremendous factors in the… Continue reading Characteristics of love
What is grace?
The best definition of grace in the whole bible is found in second Peter. 2peter 1:2 Grace and peace be unto you through the knowledge (intimacy) of God, and of Jesus our Lord, according( in what manner or way, how) as his divine power hath given unto us all things(totality, perfect provision) that pertain unto… Continue reading What is grace?
Grace not legalism
Grace is the one key that, in my opinion, is more important than anything else in keeping our walk with God fresh and alive; it will keep you walking with the Lord consistently. We need to stay away from legalism and understand the grace of God! Grace isn’t given to you as a license to… Continue reading Grace not legalism
What does it mean to be in the Spirit?
Our spirit is dimensional; it is in heaven and earth at the same time. If we know how we can tune in to one realm or the other, some people can live in both. God is Spirit, in order to fellowship with an unseen Spirit; we need to learn how to enter that realm. The… Continue reading What does it mean to be in the Spirit?
Be a new lump
The fifth chapter of 1 Corinthians deals with a problem of immorality that existed in the Corinthian church. In this chapter, Paul gave enlightenment concerning the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among… Continue reading Be a new lump
How to get an apostle out of jail
Acts 12 is the Scripture which gives the account of one very interesting Passover at the time of the early New Testament Church. The Apostle Peter had been put in jail, and after the Passover he was to be killed; but instead, God set him free. Would you like to see your apostles that are… Continue reading How to get an apostle out of jail
Head them off at the pass
For He delivered us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son. Colossians 1:13. After reading this verse, we realize that legal jurisdiction exists in the spirit realm as well as in the natural realm. Almost all the old cowboy movies have one standard line: “Head ’em off… Continue reading Head them off at the pass
These are the feasts of harvest
“Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to Me.… .for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month Abib, for in it you came out of Egypt. And none shall appear before Me empty-handed. Also you shall observe the Feast of the… Continue reading These are the feasts of harvest
The Lamb who leads us
Many wonderful truths are being revealed to us concerning the Feast of Passover—truths that, surprisingly, have never been on earth before. The Passover comes to project us into action, to liberate us into that which we were not able to do before, and to enable us to do it. The ninth chapter of Numbers is… Continue reading The Lamb who leads us
Exodus
The beginning of the book of Exodus records the story of Moses going down to Egypt at the command of the Lord to lead the children of Israel from bondage. The word “exodus” means “the departure” or “the way out.” The word “exit” is derived from the same root word. The Exodus was the departure… Continue reading Exodus
From Gilgal to the giants
Beyond our Passover experience is a wilderness with problems of survival. Not only are there giants to be overcome; there is a promised land to be fully possessed. There are many new and challenging experiences Beyond Passover. Joshua 5:1 Now it came about when all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan… Continue reading From Gilgal to the giants
The second coming of the Holy Spirit
This message from the eighth chapter of the book of Romans has to do with the work of the Holy Spirit in those who come forth as manifested sons of God in this end time. The book of Acts speaks a great deal of the work of the Holy Spirit. No reference to the Old Testament… Continue reading The second coming of the Holy Spirit
The realm of spirit
…eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. But unto us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For who among men knoweth the things of… Continue reading The realm of spirit
What is Babylon?
What do we call Babylon? Babylon is anything that God has done in the past that now rejects the divine order God is restoring. It does not matter how far a movement has gone in the Lord; it automatically becomes Babylon at that moment of rejection. This does not mean that Babylon has not had… Continue reading What is Babylon?
I am going to measure Jerusalem
Zechariah was an important prophet of the restoration period in the Old Testament. His prophecies spoke also of the day in which we are living, as we see in the following passage. Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measuring line in his hand. So I… Continue reading I am going to measure Jerusalem
The kingdom
If we give ourselves to God it is amazing what he can do through us. We have to get to the root of the problem. If we don’t discern the real problem we are not going to find the real solution. We are to pray to our father, and having glorified and magnified his name… Continue reading The kingdom
Definition of the kingdom
The spiritual principles of the Old Testament are carried into the kingdom because they were always new covenant. Abraham lived in the New Covenant. We got to get out of time and allow God to carry us in spirit in to the realm of eternity, so that we see things in a different way. The… Continue reading Definition of the kingdom
The kingdom and the law
A dimension of the kingdom that we need to get a hold of and be released in is the power to move in signs and wonders and miracles. And this is how Jesus began and sent his disciples out to begin. Go and heal the sick, raise the dead and cast out devils and tell… Continue reading The kingdom and the law
Four stages in which the kingdom comes
There are four stages in which the kingdom comes. The first stage of the kingdom is the proclamation stage. Much of the evangelical church is at this stage. They can teach about it, but there is no powerful manifestation of it. John taught accurately the things concerning Jesus but he never did a miracle. The… Continue reading Four stages in which the kingdom comes
The Kingdom is the Father’s family
We need to see the kingdom; we need to enter the kingdom and abide there, we need to understand the kingdom and we need to preach the kingdom. The kingdom is not something we are looking for when Jesus returns. The kingdom is present right now. We need to understand the kingdom, and where it… Continue reading The Kingdom is the Father’s family
The kingdom is inherited
God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt (a type of the world) by judging all the gods (fallen angels) of the Egyptians. He led them through the wilderness (a type of testing) to the mountain (place of authority) of God where they were to worship the Lord. God gave them the 10 commandments… Continue reading The kingdom is inherited
Rapture
Rapture is not just a doctrine, it is an experience. I am not talking about having our body transformed but those who have been caught up into heaven. Many have experienced heaven in their spirit, also in their soul through visions and trances. But those who have been raptured have been taken up in their… Continue reading Rapture
Fixing our eyes on Jesus
We take our eyes off the problem, and fix them on Jesus, and as we fix them on Jesus we will begin to see differently. We will get a different perspective on our current circumstances that will release the joy of the Lord, and faith will start to flow into us and we will come… Continue reading Fixing our eyes on Jesus
False prophets
Math 7: 15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening (greedy for power, gain, self) wolves. 16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt ( comes… Continue reading False prophets
A pattern without His presence
It is easy to miss an encounter with God by following a habit pattern, but we must encounter Him. We are to touch Him. We are to be lost in His presence. Waiting on the Lord must have priority. We must have meetings with Him and encounter Him in our worship and intercession. A brokenness… Continue reading A pattern without His presence
A jar of salt
In II Kings 2, we find a miracle of Elisha which can show us how to position ourselves for the next miracle of the Kingdom. We are going to learn to open our awareness to the next step in our progressive walk with God. If Elijah was a prophet of fire, Elisha was a prophet… Continue reading A jar of salt
Hath God said
We need to understand the law of action and reaction, the moving of the Spirit of God and the moving of the enemy. We live in the conflict of two kingdoms. For every action of the kingdom, there will be a corresponding reaction of the enemy, until we become more than a conqueror and the… Continue reading Hath God said
How intense is God ?
We know that His first requirement is that we love Him with all of our heart and soul, all of our mind and strength (Deuteronomy 6:5). This we purpose to do. All the problems of religious Babylon, of Laodicean lukewarmness, come because they give God less than the full intensity of love. How intensely does… Continue reading How intense is God ?
Heavenly language
The language of heaven is very diverse and comprehensive. Our native language is very limited when compared to the language of heaven. When we are born into the kingdom of God we have to learn the language of that kingdom. This language is far superior to our native language. The language of the spirit realm… Continue reading Heavenly language
Our identity
We have been seated with Christ in heavenly places; Jesus is no longer just an individual but a many member body. In the eternal realm we are already perfect in our spirit. But we have to see who we are in the eternal realm, so that we can bring that reality down into our lives… Continue reading Our identity
Our growth in God
John 3: 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. To enter into an intimate relationship with God, It is absolutely necessary that we be born from above. Unless our spirit is… Continue reading Our growth in God
The Parousia
We are living in the time of the Parousia, the time of His presence where Jesus will appear to us. We are going to see ever-increasing manifestations of Jesus to His people. This term PAROUSIA has virtually always been used exclusively in reference to the second coming of the Lord. IT DOES REFER TO THAT… Continue reading The Parousia
Dark speeches
Numbers 12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, [and] will speak unto him in a dream.7 My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful in all mine house.8 With him will I speak mouth… Continue reading Dark speeches
Meditation
A very important aspect of walking with God is the art of Meditation. Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I [am] God: BE STILL AND KNOW We live our lives in such turmoil and busyness, which causes us to live in a constant state of inner tension. This isolates us from God and keeps… Continue reading Meditation
The mind working with the spirit
The Lord can communicate with us in Words, Feelings and Pictures. He mostly communicates with us through spontaneous thoughts. These thoughts sound like our own thoughts but they are spontaneous, They flow into our mind from our spirit through the Holy Spirit. We do not start them, they light upon us. When we choose to… Continue reading The mind working with the spirit
To walk with God
We can walk and talk with God like Adam did in the Garden. In these last days, it is vitally important to know the voice of the Lord. Our survival may depend upon it. We need to know how God wants to communicate with us and to be clearly able to hear his voice for… Continue reading To walk with God
Our spirits
When we get a Word from the Lord it seems like everything goes in the opposite direction of that word. You get a Word and you’re tried in it before it comes to pass. “Until the day that it came to pass, the Word of the Lord tried him,” was the way the Psalms talked… Continue reading Our spirits
From futility to maturity
The book of Ephesians has many good chapters, but the fourth chapter often becomes the focus of our attention. Let me give a brief resume of this chapter, starting from verse 8. Christ ascended to the right hand of the Father with all majesty and authority and gave gifts to men. He gave some as… Continue reading From futility to maturity
Getting off the soul level
God breathed into us our spirit. When the spirit entered the body the soul was formed. In our soul and body are the instinctive drives we have being human. When we are born from above the seed of God is conceived in our spirit and we become a child of God by nature, our spirit… Continue reading Getting off the soul level
Complete
The eighth chapter of Romans teaches us that creation has been subjected to futility, but in hope, that when the sons of God come forth in their manifestation, they in turn will release creation from futility. The problem is not with creation; the problem is with the sons of God being loosed from futility. They… Continue reading Complete
The strengthening of the Holy Spirit
The strengthening of the Holy Spirit is needed for our spirit to control our soul and body and to be the channel of the Holy Spirit, for the flowing out of His life to others. Ephesians 3:14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom… Continue reading The strengthening of the Holy Spirit
What do you emanate?
The life of God flows out of heaven into our spirit, through our soul and out our body into the natural world around us. But how do we get that life flowing? The kingdom of God is in a different dimension, it is in the unseen realm of God’s Spirit. The kingdom is the realm… Continue reading What do you emanate?
Attitudes
We need to understand that things like love, joy, peace, thanksgiving, anger, hate and jealousy and all the like are not just attitudes. They are far more than just attitudes, they are a power, they are a substance, and we need to understand this. Each of these attitudes radiates out from us as a power… Continue reading Attitudes
A lonely bird on the roof
In this day, the Holy Spirit is bringing forth the unity of the Body of Christ; Satan, on the other hand, is trying in every way possible to isolate the members so that they cannot communicate or work with one another. Psalm 102 reveals the heart of a man who felt isolated and alone. He… Continue reading A lonely bird on the roof
Eyes of the spirit
God has given us all the capacity to see physically, spiritually and heavenly .We are responsible to develop that capacity .We are responsible to use these abilities. 2 Cor 4:18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen… Continue reading Eyes of the spirit
From many comes one
The most effective weapon ever created by God is coming forth in the earth, today. It is the ministry of the Body of Christ. A oneness of spirit is coming forth in the Body of Christ. It is first a oneness with the Lord and then a oneness with one another in the body. … Continue reading From many comes one
Getting into the flow of the Spirit
In order to get into the flow of the Spirit, our spirit must connect or make contact with God’s Spirit; this is called having a meeting with the Lord. This is called entering into the secret place, the meeting place, the heavenly places in Christ, or the throne room, or bedroom of God where we… Continue reading Getting into the flow of the Spirit
How change comes
The teaching that reaches our mind is not what changes us, if we are just a hearer of the word and not a doer of the word we will forget what we hear. The word we hear with our mind must get into our spirit. The word reaches our spirit through the revelation of the… Continue reading How change comes
How we change
The primary work of the Holy Spirit is to transform us into the Image of Jesus Christ. Transformation is a change of life form; it is a change from death into life. It describes the amazing way in which a caterpillar changes into a butterfly. The worm in the cocoon dies and breaks out of… Continue reading How we change
How God sees us
God sees things from an eternal perspective; He sees things different than we do. He sees the beginning from the end. He sees the finished product. It is important that we begin to see things the way that God does. What does God actually see when He looks at us? He sees a reflection of… Continue reading How God sees us
Honesty of heart
It is as we learn how to maintain a right spirit where our spirit is fellowshipping with God; that we will find that it is not that difficult to submit to anything the Lord requires of us. It is when our spirit is out of fellowship with God, where our spirit is not communing with… Continue reading Honesty of heart
His reflection
Our human nature is unacceptable to God. We were born in sin, we inherited a fallen nature. We can’t bring to God what we are as a human being and say, Lord I am doing the best I can, will You please accept this old nature. That which is born of the flesh is flesh.… Continue reading His reflection
Him who fills all in all
Ephesians 1:20b–23.He raised Him from the dead, and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the one to come. And He put all things in subjection under His… Continue reading Him who fills all in all
How to be filled with the Spirit
We want to learn how to be filled with the Spirit and how to maintain that fullness. A worshiper can never stay defeated. In worship we can become so full of the Spirit, that in His presence we can directly receive from the Holy Spirit himself. The Holy Spirit is a genus at worship, and… Continue reading How to be filled with the Spirit
Holy Spirit and our initiative
When we first receive the Holy Spirit, His working within us seems to be at our initiative. Our spirit becomes willing, but we have to learn how to draw from God and walk with God, how to depend totally upon Him, how to maintain the flow of the Holy Spirit within our lives. The Holy… Continue reading Holy Spirit and our initiative
God’s attributes within us
When God manifests his power his nature is revealed in it. Whenever Jesus reached out to touch someone through the power of God, it was the love of God that motivated him to do it. In Jesus Christ all the fullness of God dwelt bodily. All that God is, as well as all that He… Continue reading God’s attributes within us
Growing up
When our spirit became alive in the Lord, our spiritual eyes and ears were opened. Our spiritual growth is a growing awareness of the life of the Lord. This life of the Lord begins to grow in us as we come into submission to it. It is called the mystery of the Kingdom-the Lordship of… Continue reading Growing up
Greater is the flow in you than the power against you
In order to walk in the spirit, the life of God has to flow into it, so that our spirit is communing with God. When our spirit is communing with God, it is receiving revelation of the mind of God and his will for our lives. When our spirit is communing with God, it is… Continue reading Greater is the flow in you than the power against you
God becomes our strength
As we learn how to get the gateways of our spirit, soul and body open and flowing with the life of God, then we begin to hear what the father is saying and see what He is doing, so that we can co-operate with Him. We have to discipline ourselves to have an encounter with… Continue reading God becomes our strength
Practicing the fruit of the Spirit
The fruit of the Spirit is an encounter with God that leads us into an ongoing experience of Him, which opens us up to the fullness of who God is for us. As we learn the difference between our soul and our spirit, we can then live in the Spirit. Once we learn how to… Continue reading Practicing the fruit of the Spirit
Control of our spirit
CONTROLING OUR SPIRIT Many passages in the Bible speak about the end time. We read in I Timothy 4:1: But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons. In the latter times we are going to be up against… Continue reading Control of our spirit
Communication of spirit
There is no human language that is great enough for God to adequately express Himself through. God communicates to us Spirit to spirit. Spirit to spirit communication is beyond language. It is like deep calling unto deep (1 Corinthians 2:10, 11; Romans 8:26, 27). It is like an impartation of experience and knowledge. The way… Continue reading Communication of spirit
Before they call
Isaiah 65: 17 For, lo, I am creating new heavens, and a new earth, And the former things are not remembered, Nor do they ascend on the heart (come to mind). 21And they have built houses, and inhabited, And planted vineyards, and eaten their fruit. 22They do not build, and another inhabit, They do… Continue reading Before they call
Being in the Spirit
Our spirit has eyes and ears; it has perception and feeling. Our spirit is a person. God is a person and He is spirit. Our re-created man is a person and is a spirit, with a full set of senses separate to our natural senses. Fellowship with Jesus requires an awareness of the kingdom of… Continue reading Being in the Spirit
Being aware of our spirit
The will of God is first of all a state of spirit. A lot of Christians are not really aware of their spirit. Our spirit is the part of us that connects to God, where His life flows into it. To understand our spirit it is important to look at every reference in the bible… Continue reading Being aware of our spirit
Fountain of living waters
Rev22:1 and he showed me a pure (clean, unalloyed) river of water of life; clear (shining, bright, radiant) as Crystal (transparent), proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. We are coming into the day of transparency, when the vessels of the Lord shall be filled with His glory. The Lord is… Continue reading Fountain of living waters
Focus,focus
Everything we receive from God depends upon our focus. Jesus has made a perfect provision for us, and the Holy Spirit was given to us to help us receive it. We have to focus on a promise of God, until we receive it as a revelation in our spirit. We have to meditate upon it… Continue reading Focus,focus
Fixing our eyes on Jesus
We take our eyes off the problem, and fix them on Jesus, and as we fix them on Jesus we will begin to see differently. We will get a different perspective on our current circumstances that will release the joy of the Lord, and faith will start to flow into us and we will come… Continue reading Fixing our eyes on Jesus
Becoming
Our focus needs to be upon becoming, and not just doing. To be a Christian is to be a possessor of the nature of Christ, and the ability of the Holy Spirit. We want to manifest Christ in character, in demonstration, and in ministry. When we become a Christian, God breathes Himself into our very… Continue reading Becoming
Awareness of our spirit
When our spirit was made alive with God’s eternal life, a new realm of existence was opened up to us. We can now experience heaven on earth every day of our lives. Because we bring the will of God down upon the earth, we will experience burdens and mourning in the spirit, but even in… Continue reading Awareness of our spirit
Earnest expectation
People will never believe what God is doing and saying in the earth today unless God first takes away the veil and brings a release from the dullness that is on their hearts. The demonic spirits that deceive and hold people in deception must be removed. The bulk of Satan’s activity is directed toward God’s… Continue reading Earnest expectation
Becoming spiritual
We need to understand what it means to be spiritual. We are living either on a spirit level, a soul level or just a natural or physical level. Being spiritual does not mean that we cease being normal. When we are spiritual- simply means that the Holy Spirit now becomes the governor and ruler of… Continue reading Becoming spiritual
Closure
God is not present past; he is present future, he has dealt with our past upon the cross.

Attaining resurrection life
I Corinthians 15:50–58 Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

Being led as sons
Romans 8: 14 for all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. When we are being “led” by the Spirit, we are not “following,” as the Israelites did when they followed the pillar of fire in the wilderness. To be led by the Spirit means to be driven… Continue reading Being led as sons
The cares of this life
Jesus came to give us abundant life, in order to enter into this kind of life; we have to get rid of all the cares of the human life. We are a new creation, a new race of beings that started with Jesus Christ, when he was raised from the dead. We are no longer… Continue reading The cares of this life
Bringing God’s will down
What people refer to as the Lord’s Prayer in Mathew 6, is the prayer the Lord taught the disciples to pray. We can find the Lord’s Prayer in John 17, Where our Lord prayed to the Father, that we would all come into the same oneness of spirit that he had with the Father, that… Continue reading Bringing God’s will down

Frequencies of our spirit
All things in the universe whether visible or invisible, are formed from energy; both in the spiritual world and the physical. Science measures this energy in terms of frequency.

Filled and delivered
Being filled with the Spirit requires an understanding of our own spirits and how to open them up to the Lord. To be born of the Spirit, we must become willing to surrender the whole of our life, for the Spirit of God to govern. It is an unconditional yes, to the lordship of Jesus… Continue reading Filled and delivered
Filled with the Spirit
We can speak in tongues and still not be filled with the Spirit. It is through the intensity of our spirit, and our desire to be wholly indwelt by the Spirit of God and our laser focus on him in love and worship which releases His fullness within us. When we are really filled with… Continue reading Filled with the Spirit

When our spirit is quickened… Continue reading How to build a strong spirit
The power of thought
Thoughts are seeds, they have life in them and they will reproduce, if we don’t learn how to deal with them. When thoughts are planted they will reproduce after their own kind. This is an important spiritual principal or kingdom law. It is the law of reproduction. Even before the foundations of the world. It… Continue reading The power of thought
Be an avalanche starter
Let us be determined that we’re going to declare war and overcome everything of the spirit of this age, and walk with God with all the aggressiveness of the kingdom. And when He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” And… Continue reading Be an avalanche starter
Definition of divine love
1 Corinthians 13:1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (divine love), I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2And though I have the gift of prophecy (a discourse emanating from divine inspiration and declaring the purposes of God,), and understand all (total, whole) mysteries,… Continue reading Definition of divine love
Functions of our spirit
The primary function, the first function of our spirit is to be in touch with God. Our spirit has the ability to connect with God, to tune into God, to be aware of God. God’s Spirit is able to communicate with our spirit, particularly as it grows to maturity. We need to grow in spirit… Continue reading Functions of our spirit
Changed by a revelation of the Lord
It is most important for us to open our spirit to the Lord. Many people who have been Christians all their lives fail to understand this principle of change because it is a thing of spirit rather than of soul. People talk about winning souls, and that’s just about what they do: they win the… Continue reading Changed by a revelation of the Lord
Dealing with the soul
In order to walk with God we need to understand the difference between our spirit, soul and body. The body is easy to discern. Our soul is basically our personality, our distinct individuality; it is the self part of us that wills and desires the things that make us human. Our soul is the part… Continue reading Dealing with the soul
Blockages in the soul
How do we prepare our soul? All the sin that we commit is an indicator of our need for God. Because we sin to try and make ourselves feel better about ourselves or our life which is an indication of how much we need God. If we struggle with lust, it is because we desperately… Continue reading Blockages in the soul
Different levels
We go from grace to grace, faith to faith, strength to strength, and glory to glory. We go from one level to the next in our spiritual growth in God. The grace of God is the flow of the Spirit of God in our life. Grace is the influence of the Spirit, his nature and… Continue reading Different levels

Captivated
We need to learn how to get the word in our spirit where faith becomes a substance in it. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance (that which underlies the apparent, therefore it is the reality, the essence, the substance; that which is the basis of something coming into manifestation) of things hoped for, the… Continue reading Captivated
Blow up the dams
There are things in our soul that hinder the flow of God in our lives. Things that we may be struggling with can dam up the flow of God’s life in us. Out of our spirit shall flow rivers of living water, rivers of life, but first we must blow up the dams. There are… Continue reading Blow up the dams

Where dwellest thou?
The fourteenth and fifteenth chapters of John deal with progressive levels in our spiritual life, plateaus to which we attain. Even with Christ’s disciples, there were levels of discipleship. The Word tells us the Lord deals with us without partiality; nevertheless, there were always those who went a little farther with Him. Peter, James, and… Continue reading Where dwellest thou?
Bumblebees can’t fly
Bumblebees are amazing little creatures. According to the laws of aerodynamics, bumblebees should not be able to fly. When you compare the size and structure of their wings with the size and weight of their bodies, it would seem to indicate that bumblebees cannot fly. But you cannot convince a bumblebee of that. 6For to… Continue reading Bumblebees can’t fly
Authority over the assault
When the seventy were sent forth, as recorded in Luke, Christ said, “I give you authority over all the power of the enemy” (Luke 10:19). Do not be too deeply concerned about the strength or the power of demon forces: how much money they have, how much organization they possess, or what legal structures they… Continue reading Authority over the assault
Your going to learn how to fly
Our Lord does not make mistakes. He knows exactly what He is doing, and He is doing everything just right. At one time or another, He places each of us in a very difficult position, and we may not know which way to turn. But we know there are some changes that are going to… Continue reading Your going to learn how to fly
Beyond dedication
When Solomon built the temple it had taken seven years, there was spent a vast fortune, and it expended unbelievable labor to build the temple. It took 150,000 aliens with 360 overseers serving at their posts many months out of the year to build the temple. The workmanship was fabulous. While the temple was being… Continue reading Beyond dedication
And they remembered His Words
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day be risen again. And they remembered his words. Luke 24:6–8. In the book… Continue reading And they remembered His Words
Activate His fullness
The entire Bible speaks about the principle of transference, how God makes a way to transfer His attributes to us and how He takes our sins and iniquities and transfers them to the Lord Jesus Christ. Animal sacrifices in the Old Testament were based upon the principle that the innocent can take the guilt of… Continue reading Activate His fullness
And the Word of the Lord tried him
In theological Bible schools, one basic rule of hermeneutics is taught: you do not take a text out of its setting to interpret it, but in a correct, honest, and orthodox interpretation, you interpret it in the light of its context. That would be very beautiful if it were true, but the Old Testament texts… Continue reading And the Word of the Lord tried him
Ambassadors
An ambassador is a diplomatic official of the highest rank, appointed and accredited as a representative in residence by one government to another. Philippians 3:20 says for our citizenship is in heaven. We are ambassadors of heaven on earth. So our citizenship is not of earth, we are citizens of heaven. We are connected to… Continue reading Ambassadors
Moving on
We are a triune being, spirit, soul and body. We cannot come to the lord unless the Holy Spirit draws us, then he must convict us of sin. When we become willing to surrender the whole of our life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, then God quickens our spirit and it becomes alive unto… Continue reading Moving on
A right spirit precedes a right mind
We come into a unity of spirit before we come into a unity of faith, where we all believe the same way. Most believers lean upon their own understanding, and what they have been taught by man, or the church they go to. There are certain qualities of spirit we need to possess in order… Continue reading A right spirit precedes a right mind
Abiding in the spirit
In a walk with God there should be a practical application of every truth, however otherworldly it may seem, so that we have both feet on the ground and our spirit and mind in heavenly places. Then there will not be a day when we cannot see into the Kingdom. When our spirit is alive… Continue reading Abiding in the spirit
Fear of the Lord gate
The fear of the lord is not being scared of the Lord. It is a part of who God is and who we are becoming. It is the result of our spirit being one with the Lord. The fear of the lord flows in the river of God, it comes out of heaven flows into… Continue reading Fear of the Lord gate
A revelation of the Lord
In order to walk in the spirit there are some things in us that will have to change. As we grow spiritually we will notice a change in how we respond to circumstances and people. We all start out responding or reacting wrongly, it is part of our self- life or conditioning. But as we… Continue reading A revelation of the Lord
The salvation of the soul
The salvation of the soul is distinct from the salvation of our spirit. When we receive Jesus as our Lord and savior, He makes our spirit alive, by imparting His life to it. This is an instantaneous experience where God becomes alive in our spirit. But when our spirit is first saved-enlightened, our soul is… Continue reading The salvation of the soul
Becoming aware of our spirit
Our spirit has senses; it has the ability to sense God, to perceive God, to feel God, to experience God. It is through our spirit’s senses that we become conscious of God. The senses of our spirit have to be activated in God, in order to sense the Spirit of God. Our spirit has to… Continue reading Becoming aware of our spirit
Becoming a spirit opener

We can tune into God and then tune in to another so that the Spirit of God can touch their spirit. There are a lot… Continue reading Ministering the Spirit
Right spirit
There is a beauty coming forth in the hearts of God’s people. It is called having a right spirit. The life of God flows out of heaven into our spirit, and it radiates out of us though our soul and body so that others can see the glory we are reflecting. The qualities which shine forth… Continue reading Right spirit
A pure flow of the Word
In ancient warfare, whenever an enemy took over a territory and did not want that land or its people to survive, the enemy would sow the fields with salt and throw dead carcasses in the wells. We read in Genesis how Isaac dug again the wells which his father Abraham had dug, because the Philistines… Continue reading A pure flow of the Word
A living word or empty words
The goal and objective of every believer should be to speak words that are alive and filled with the anointing and presence of God Himself. The Spirit of God should be released through the words we speak. When our spirit is in contact with the Holy Spirit, we are enabled to draw upon the anointing… Continue reading A living word or empty words
The end of the professionals
The Lord wants to teach us about His authority and His fullness so that we can move into what He has for us, in these last days- His authority and His fullness are really the issue in this day. Our adequacy is never an issue unless we make it one. If we keep feeling adequate,… Continue reading The end of the professionals
Seven principles of worship
Malachi is the last prophet of the Old Testament, and in his book there are glimpses of the hour in which we are living. In Malachi’s day there had ceased to be any real worship of the Lord. The people had profaned His altars and had given unto the Lord the lame of the flock… Continue reading Seven principles of worship
Your will is a key to worship
You must understand that there are many facets to your being. Your will is a part of your soul, of your mind, of your emotions, a part of your spirit, and is probably the only thing that transcends all of them. With the set of your will, you can control your emotions. With your will… Continue reading Your will is a key to worship
The worship service
We are entering into revelation worship, where the manifest presence of God opens up our understanding of His word as our spirit comes into contact with Him. The leaders carry the service, but the people also need to be aware of what is taking place. The worship service is effective to the extent that the… Continue reading The worship service
Make Him a throne
We will consider Psalm 22:3 from two different versions. King James says, But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. The New American Standard Bible reads, Yet Thou art holy, O Thou who art enthroned upon the praises of Israel. Inhabitest, to be enthroned, the Hebrew word means to sit down;… Continue reading Make Him a throne
Worship without distraction
A walk with God begins with a revelation of the Lord, and it is the worshiper who will come into that revelation. With each deeper step in revelation there is a corresponding step into deeper worship. Those who will walk with God are those who set themselves to follow on to know the Lord with… Continue reading Worship without distraction
We wash before we worship
Now even the first covenant had regulations of divine worship and the earthly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle prepared, the outer one, in which were the lampstand and the table and the sacred bread; this is called the holy place. And behind the second veil, there was a tabernacle which is called the Holy… Continue reading We wash before we worship
The veil-and one step beyond
One cannot understand the book of Revelation unless he has a good concept of the book of Ezekiel, for the spirit of Ezekiel was very much with John on the Isle of Patmos. The imagery and the symbols of Revelation are never understood until one understands the Old Testament prophets. Even in the marvelous messages… Continue reading The veil-and one step beyond
Let Him breathe on me
Worship the Lord with a spirit of anticipation. Let the Spirit fill you again and again. About the time that your heart says, “This is all I can receive from the Lord today,” answer, “No, that’s a lie. I can have twice as much.” Then start all over again, anticipating a double portion. When you… Continue reading Let Him breathe on me
God’s response to our worship
We should be able to touch the Lord every time we come to church. It is ridiculous for you to come to church and fail to have a meeting with God. We need the kind of teaching that removes the tendency for us to get into a rut, lest worship become commonplace to us, and… Continue reading God’s response to our worship
The pure worship
Malachi, the last recorded prophet of the Old Testament, has an amazing message, telling what God will do in the end time. It contains little reference to the first coming of Christ, but much is portrayed of the times and events of His second coming. For from the rising of the sun even unto the… Continue reading The pure worship
The schemes of the devil
The book of Ephesians seems to follow three main themes: the wealth of the believer (all the inheritance and riches of grace); the walk of the believer (walk as dear children; walk as children of light); and the warfare of the believer. It unveils the great panorama of God’s plan from eternity to eternity, and… Continue reading The schemes of the devil
The sword of the Spirit
Ephesians6:17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: The sword of the Spirit, is the word of God, it is His word in our mouth. It is not His word in His mouth; it is His word in our mouth. We speak the word… Continue reading The sword of the Spirit
The helmet of salvation
Ephesians 6: 17And take (definiteness and completion of action, the Spirit moving us and our yielding to him, To take to oneself what is presented by another, to receive) the helmet (about-head) of salvation (the helmet of salvation is presented as the means of protection) The Greek word for helmet means literally, “something that is wrapped… Continue reading The helmet of salvation

Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 1 Thessalonians 5: 8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on (clothe yourself, get into the Spirit) the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet (from peri, “around,” and kephale,… Continue reading The breastplate of righteousness
Armor for our emotions
Eph 6: 14Stand (command now) therefore, having your loins (seat of generative powers, intense emotions) girt about (definiteness of action, wrapped around) with truth (the unveiled reality-the basis of). Each part of our body relates to certain functions of our soul and of our spirit life. Every part of the anatomy of the body has a… Continue reading Armor for our emotions
Be strong in the Lord
As we become sensitive to the Spirit realm, we become aware of the warfare that is going on. When God joins Himself to our spirit we soon experience an inner warfare where our spirit desires one thing and our flesh another. This battle takes place in our soul consciousness. Once we overcome the inner warfare,… Continue reading Be strong in the Lord
What is the armor?
We need to understand the name of each piece of armor and what it stands for, what it protects and what we are appropriating. Each piece of the armor we have to deliberately put on. We put on an attribute of God as we identify with Him. It is not inherent in the old nature,… Continue reading What is the armor?
Heavenly places
In order to transform the city we live in, the church in that city-which are those called out to govern, must displace the principalities and powers that are governing that city. The worst mistake in war is to not know where the battleground is located. Where is the battle? Is the battle in the mind?… Continue reading Heavenly places
Hearing the voice of God
To walk with God, we have to learn how to hear the voice of God. Learning to hear the voice of God is a journey, it’s not something that we learn quickly. But with perseverance we can learn to hear the voice of God daily, so that we can begin to be led by the… Continue reading Hearing the voice of God

When all else fails
PSALMS 103:19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all. We live in days of constant change and nothing seems to be certain anymore. There was a time when most things in our lives were predictable, at least to a certain degree. Change is a constant factor in… Continue reading When all else fails
Keeping short accounts with God
One of the most remarkable statements in God’s Word is found in Acts 13: ACTS 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which… Continue reading Keeping short accounts with God
Destiny and times and seasons
ECCLESIASTES 9:11 I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. The word chance in this verse can… Continue reading Destiny and times and seasons
Intensity
David was a man after God’s own heart- who would do all His will, because there was intensity (the strength, power, force, or concentration of something) in his heart. Whatever David did he did with all his heart. When he sinned, he repented with all his heart. He would tear his clothes, put ashes on… Continue reading Intensity
Intensity of spirit
In order to walk with God our spirit must rise up to a level where our spirit is absolutely predominate (to dominate or control something) in a situation, with our soul remaining subordinate (allow something else to dominate or take priority) to it. The soul is involved with a great deal of emotions and feelings;… Continue reading Intensity of spirit
The nature of revelation
1 CORINTHIANS 14:6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

Living in two worlds
ECCLESIASTES 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men. Jesus clearly said that He was not of this world (Jn 8:23).

Adapting to change
MATTHEW 9:16-17 16. No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. 17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and… Continue reading Adapting to change
Speaking in tounges
We live in a world that is governed by the spirit. Behind the visible, material world, there exists another dimension, another world – that of spirit. This world of spirit has no limitations, but because our lives are lived primarily in the physical realm, our interaction with the spirit world takes a secondary place and,… Continue reading Speaking in tounges
Judgment
Because God is love, everything He does is redemptive. JOHN 10:10b I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Understanding that everything God does is redemptive is vital to a right perspective on what we perceive concerning what God allows or does not allow happening. Our perception… Continue reading Judgment
Kingdom
There is a way in which we reach in with violence to possess the kingdom and there is a great deal of violence that comes against the Kingdom. Through much tribulation we must enter the Kingdom. The basic New Testament teaching is that the kingdom is inherited. This puts the kingdom on the basis of… Continue reading Kingdom

New creation
Throughout the bible we see how Satan has tried to destroy the seed of the woman. That same spirit is at work in the earth today. Finally, this seed of the woman found its way down to a young unmarried girl called Mary. This girl encountered the Holy Spirit in a unique way. LUKE 1:35… Continue reading New creation
The word of fire
In the Scripture, Pentecost was a Feast observed for only one day. It may take a long time to get you out of Egypt and Egypt out of you. It may take a long time before the tabernacling of God in His glory is established in the earth. But the fire of God that burns… Continue reading The word of fire
A tongue of fire
Many people who receive the Holy Spirit into their lives today do not receive anything comparable to what the believers received on the day of Pentecost, because the baptism of fire is not a part of their experience. It was the baptism of fire that was to be the pattern experience, not the baptism of… Continue reading A tongue of fire
The spirit of burning
Will the experience of fire be a dynamic experience or will it be a process? For several years we have seen this experience of fire as an unfolding process. But in the last outpouring of the Spirit it will also be a dynamic experience. Most believers who receive the Holy Spirit speak with tongues and… Continue reading The spirit of burning
True knowledge
There are two kinds of knowledge; one is divine the other human. Divine knowledge comes from the inside and human knowledge comes from the outside. 1 CORINTHIANS 14:6 6.

The right to become
As the days of the manifestation of the sons of God approach us, we are eager to become sons. We want glorified bodies and divine health; we want everything of God’s provision. However, certain spiritual changes must precede those physiological changes. We must first experience an overwhelming manifestation of the divine nature before our release… Continue reading The right to become
Come up higher
The whole purpose of the Day of Atonement was that there should be the goat of removal (“azazel” in Hebrew). The high priest laid his hands on the goat and confessed his sins and the sins of the people over the scapegoat, then they led it out into the wilderness. It was done, as we… Continue reading Come up higher
Elijah and Elisha
The stories of Elijah begin with judgment upon Israel for her apostasy and the miracles of survival of a remnant that had not bowed the knee to Baal. We see in Elijah, “the prophet of fire and rain,” the example of those who will challenge the demonic and apostate forces of the age. And we are… Continue reading Elijah and Elisha
Fathers and sons
When Rome burned, Nero blamed the Christians; however, historians say that evidence proves that Nero was absolutely guilty. In that ignoble hour of persecution, he killed apostles and prophets and Christians. That was the climate in which Paul wrote the Epistle of II Timothy. Notice especially three verses in 2 Timothy 4 –Make every effort… Continue reading Fathers and sons
The kingdom age
Because God wanted to change an age, He gave a Word to Noah. With reverence and with a godly fear in his heart, Noah set about building an ark, He was determined to act upon that Word.

The imperceptible change
Imagine yourself on a beautiful clear day, out in a sailboat, gliding smoothly along on a quiet lake.

Broken
When we are born the first time, we became a living soul-we were born a human being. We are born self centered, one of the first words we learn is no, we are born dishonest, covetous, and so forth.

God wants us to come into that place of relationship and responsibility into which Adam would have matured if he had not sinned. For that to happen, we have to build our spirit.

The law of heredity
We need to understand the law of heredity. When Abraham offered tithes to Melchizedek his unborn great grandson Levi was involved in it. It was as if Levi himself was offering tithes to Melchizedek.

The soul that sins shall die
Our spirit preexisted before we were born a human being. Our spirit came out of heaven as a perfect spirit.

The seat of rest

Dividing the soul and spirit
Our spirit is the part of us that gives us God- consciousness; our soul is the part of us that gives us self-consciousness and our body-world consciousness.

Where are we… Continue reading Dividing the soul and spirit
Spirit gates
We are a house of God, a temple of the Holy Spirit, patterned after the heavenly Tabernacle. The tabernacle had veils or gates, separating the different parts of the Temple.

Our soul gates

Reprograming
We are spirit, soul and body. Our soul becomes kind of a switchboard to interpret what the physical senses receive, as well as what our spirit senses receive.

Our spiritual condition
We are a triune (consisting of or being three in one) being. One part of our being affects the others. The most important part of our being is our spirit. We are never defeated, unless we are first defeated in our spirit. Our spirit first has to be awakened; this is called once for all… Continue reading Our spiritual condition
Our identity
The whole issue of our identity is about our coming into full maturity, so that we can rule over the created order.

Meditation
Meditation is the doorway into the Spirit realm. When we hear people talking about going to heaven and having heavenly encounters what are they experiencing?

Love is not enough
Our spirit needs to be clothed in the power of God. It is very frustrating to love someone and not be able to help them, because you don’t have the power to help them.

Imagination
Our imagination is the gateway to the spirit realm, the eyes of our heart or understanding. Our imagination is not the spirit realm; it’s the way that we can enter into it.

Hearing God
Spiritual communication may be divided into three categories basically. One- is words or thoughts, two is visions, dreams, pictures and the third is feeling.

God has a chosen race
Does that mean he is Jewish? What about a Hebrew? He created the Hebrew language, there is no other like it in the earth, but He never intended to communicate in a written language. He communicates through infused knowledge. People in heaven communicate by thought; they do not have to say anything. All the races… Continue reading God has a chosen race

Identical with Christ
The basis of the gospel is the fact that Christ was wounded for our transgressions and chastised for our iniquities, and by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). This is the basis of our faith.

Deconstruction
We have certain belief systems that God has to deconstruct. Once we get deconstructed and reconstructed, it is hard to relate to Christians and go to their churches when we have out grown them.

Deception
One of the enemy’s most effective weapons is the weapon of deception. Through deception he sidetracks us from appropriating our identity and destiny.

Destiny

However, this generation, more… Continue reading Destiny
The interpenetration of God and man1

Confession of sin
We are on a journey into the very heart of God, called the pathway of intimacy. It is the ancient path that Enoch walked on.

Being restored

Broken cisterns
Our soul is our natural human life; we have natural needs built in it. We have a need for love, acceptance, affirmation, significance, purpose, security. Where are we going to get those needs met?
