Changes come as we are suddenly confronted with something we have not seen or experienced before, and we say in our hearts, “Why can’t things just be normal? Why can’t they go on as they were?” You may cry a few tears when you see that things are changing. When I was eleven years old… Continue reading GOOD-BYE, YESTERDAY

INSTANT SAINTS
For every one of the young people in this move of God, there are another thousand somewhere whom God has marked to walk with us. Right now they may be on some kind of drug trip and really lost; but they belong to the Lord. They are among those whom the Lord knew before the… Continue reading INSTANT SAINTS
People want new but think old
Every time a church, organization or business goes through transition they hit this particular crisis. It’s not hard to help people envision the future. It is easy to inspire people about the purposes of God. People love his promises-but not the process which is attached. Generally, people wish to obtain an impartation- that means they… Continue reading People want new but think old
When God points to a deficiency
When God points to a deficiency in your life, he’s introducing you to your next miracle. There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who are seeking to pursue their identity in him. We are in Christ, learning to be Christ like. Your heavenly father loves strategic life exchange. He loves to… Continue reading When God points to a deficiency
You are either the obstacle or the catalyst for change to occur
Do you want to be a part of the problem or a part of the solution? How many times has your resistance prevented something from happening? How often has your obedience created an opportunity? You are a catalyst; A door opener; One who creates breakthrough. God can trust you to stand when others run. He… Continue reading You are either the obstacle or the catalyst for change to occur
Effortless Change
“Lord, what do I have to do to get from where I am to where You want me to be?” I opened my eyes, and as I saw my Bible laying on the bed in front of me, I heard the Lord say, “Just put My Word in your heart, and it will do the rest.”… Continue reading Effortless Change
Becoming the beloved
In order to reflect the image of Jesus Christ we need to be able to see the Lord (his divine nature so that it can be transferred to us), but we also need to be able to see ourselves the way that God sees us. The Father put us into Christ, so that his feelings… Continue reading Becoming the beloved
Exposure to the light of God in Jesus Christ
We need to learn how to be exposed to the manifest presence of the Lord. But there are other ways that we are exposed to light. And revelation is one of them; revelation is a form of light. We need the milk of the Word, but we also need the honey. 1 SAMUEL 14:27But Jonathan… Continue reading Exposure to the light of God in Jesus Christ
The challenge of change
I think we are ready for the next level, the next breakthrough. Consider the former years: Five years ago were your song services different? Was the seating arrangement different? Were the services different? Before there is the creativity of God, there is the chaos (Genesis 1:2). The devastation has to come to an existing order… Continue reading The challenge of change
The unfolding-part 1
“… THE TRUTH IN LOVE” The most talked about and the least understood subject in the world is love. How many believe in it? How many would like to receive it? How many find it difficult to send it out in some directions? Most of our problems come because we go about all of the… Continue reading The unfolding-part 1
How long does it take?
“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20. Have you ever asked yourself this… Continue reading How long does it take?
Everything goes better with praise
The Lord is setting before us a way of life. We have been changing constantly, and we have actually come to the place where we are conditioned to change. Before, we changed reluctantly. Even when we were adamant in wanting to change, there were deep, built-in traps in our very nature that were resisting change.… Continue reading Everything goes better with praise
A gift is imparted
“But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name’s sake. It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony.” Luke 21:12–13. Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have… Continue reading A gift is imparted
Apostolic company, commissioned!
I am not trying to get out of responsibilities. But if anything did happen to me, this work and this Word will go right on, because there will not be a contest for position to replace me. There is already an anointing that has consistently led us, and there are people who are commissioned by… Continue reading Apostolic company, commissioned!
Is your position a pedestal?
The Word of God bonds us together, and the Word that God has been giving is on a much deeper level. As all the ministers become more closely bonded with the apostolic ministry and with the Living Word, the revelation in relation to the Word deepens. Our relationships to each other, as they previously were,… Continue reading Is your position a pedestal?
Christ alone shall be exalted
When changes come in our lives, our reaction can be insecurity and fear. Within the local church we may go through testings which cannot be defined as normal church situations. Actually, God may be moving to bring us all into a different state, a different spiritual climate or condition. If we look to the Scriptures… Continue reading Christ alone shall be exalted
Are you locked in?
Do you believe that you can change? We can all experience drastic changes; we can all make phenomenal development. II Peter 3:18 tells us to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” By the grace of God, we can be different in a year’s time from what we are… Continue reading Are you locked in?
How do we change 1
The people who walk with God today reach into great changes. How do we change? What is our goal? Are we to change until we all assume the mannerisms of our favorite leaders? It is very easy to place people in certain classifications in your mind: Citizen A, B, C, D. Then you measure the… Continue reading How do we change 1
Babies-blame yourself!
Traditional churches have a way of covering over the immoralities and indiscretions in their midst; however, on the Kingdom level this is not possible. As we break into the Kingdom, we find that there will be a greater exposure of the things in our lives that are wrong and could cause offense. The religious world… Continue reading Babies-blame yourself!
The course of change
God is teaching us to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. The carefulness with which we follow the Lord is important, but even that effort can become only a legalistic and religious form. A generation ago, a book was written teaching Christians to be imitators of Christ, to try to decide what Jesus would… Continue reading The course of change
Separate the precious from the vile
It is good to read the Old Testament because the symbolism applies to us today. It teaches something about what we are facing. The two passages we will read, in Jeremiah and in Ezekiel, teach us something very good about what the Word of God is to mean to us. At one time these passages… Continue reading Separate the precious from the vile
In the shadow of the Almighty
Psalm 91 speaks of a man blessed of God who isn’t afraid, even though arrows are flying by day and terror by night. This isn’t a picture of a serene life. I doubt whether any of us who walk with God could survive under the pressures we have entered into, if we did not look… Continue reading In the shadow of the Almighty
Changed and everchanging
Everything is going through a transition. During times of transition and change we feel insecure, we feel we have no foundation. Then we need to read that we have an anchor within the veil (Hebrews 6:19). God, who cannot lie, gives us immutable promises, and by these we reach within the veil, and we anchor.… Continue reading Changed and everchanging
Expectancy
We must continually come before the Lord with expectancy. This cannot be emphasized too much. Something happens to people: they come to church, but they do not come with a full expectation that in that place, at that moment, God is going to meet them. Draw nigh to the Lord, and He will draw nigh… Continue reading Expectancy
lord, give us another whirl
The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord saying, “Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I shall announce My words to you.” Then I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something on the wheel. But the vessel that he was making of clay was spoiled… Continue reading lord, give us another whirl
Exposed to God
“Attend to the means of grace” was a Wesleyan phrase that was the watchword of the early Methodists. What are the channels by which grace comes? Church attendance, the sacraments, singing psalms, prayer and reading the Word, the word of exhortation—all are means of grace. Grace comes to us also through the Bless-In and the… Continue reading Exposed to God
The key to all change
The one thing we need above everything else is to understand how we change. I suppose that through the grace of God, people did change, even when they thought that the way of change was through reform or through a lot of personal discipline. Educating themselves as much as they could, they were able to… Continue reading The key to all change
Let’s change fast
There are some things that I must tell you of what you have to face in this walk with God, what it will mean, and what God can do for you. You don’t hear this often; and yet, as the pressure comes again and again, don’t you find that you need someone to straighten you… Continue reading Let’s change fast
Neither condemned nor intimidated
God Wants to Establish in us a New Nature, and Not Refine And Discipline The old nature which is the Human Nature. Do you feel sometimes as if you are in over your head in your walk with God, that sometimes your actions don’t quite measure up to the faith you know is in your… Continue reading Neither condemned nor intimidated
Thinks in his heart
I have been seeking the Lord concerning my health issues, and have had hundreds of people praying for me. I have seen people get healed and miracles with my natural eyes, and have been healed myself in the past. So I have been talking to the Lord and told him, you have called me to… Continue reading Thinks in his heart
Why do people change churches?
Let us hear again the first things that we heard when our hearts were stirred with hunger. May the Lord renew that Word in our hearts and in our minds. Acts 3:19–26 is as important to our understanding of the restoration as the passage in the preceding chapter of Acts where Peter quoted from the… Continue reading Why do people change churches?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Closure
God is not present past; he is present future, he has dealt with our past upon the cross. Hebrews 10: 14 For by one offering he hath perfected (past-perfect tense-the finished result of the action, To complete, make perfect by reaching the intended goal) forever (two words in the Greek 1- motion into 2- continuing… Continue reading Closure
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
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 life, but first we must blow up the dams. What we need to do is… Continue reading Blow up the dams
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
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 are able to take the… Continue reading Activate His fullness
