Are you protected in this #contract?
More About The #Disciples Of Christ….
Humans are inquisitive beings by nature. We always want to know what our contract with #God holds to be sure we are well considered. Abraham needed  God to really explain to him about the OLD contract. Genesis 15:8. He wanted to know if he would really inherit the promise..
The Disciples were equally inquisitive. At different times, they wanted to know if they were protected in the new #covenant with  Jesus. These guys are no fools to die the way they did. They saw the man they revered so much ascend to #Heaven as he promised and they knew they were protected in the contract.
What about us? I mean you and me? Remember Christ told the disciples to wait in the upper room for the promise of the Holy Ghost? And when the Holy Ghost came, the promise was sealed. The #GUARANTEE OF THIS PROMISE IS THE #HOLY GHOST!

How To Obtain Divine  Healing.(Part2 )
#Reasons, #Senses  and #facts are the means to contact the #intellectual realm and they form the activity of the #soul. Man became a living soul as God breathed into him at creation( Genesis 2:7). As a result of the fall, man is much attuned to the soul instead of the spirit.
A new man is the one who accepts the Word of God as it is spoken, believe the Word, process the Word and the Word become part of his existence.
#Imagination against healing is also an enemy( 2 Corinthians 10:5), we must cast down imagination contrary to healing…
God is contacted by the Spirit because he is a spirit himself .John 4:24. When the Word of healing is processed successfully, your feelings do not matter, healing is what results!

#Gods #noble plan for #creation

Ques: What was #God's plan in creating man?
Ans: God wanted to connect his kingdom in heaven to the earth, he created the heaven and earth so he could reign in both heaven and earth. That is why Christ came to preach 'thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven' Matthew 6. He made man his earthly representative as he bestowed unto Adam, the responsibility of naming all other creatures. (Gen 2:19)
God’s plan was #noble, he made Adam a free #moral agent, so he could effectively run the earth without being pushed around. The fall of man through Adam was a well calculated treason by Adam and Eve to usurp the authority of their maker. Through this fall, #satan became the pseudo ruler of the earth. Jesus never disagreed when satan told him in his temptation that everything had been given to him. Luke 4 verse 5-6
‘5And the devil taking him up into an high mountain, shewed  unto him the kingdom of the world in a moment of time 6 and the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me: and to whomsoever I will I give it’
#Jesus Christ agrees that the world belongs to the devil, that’s why he didn’t try to correct him on these statement! You would ask? How and when did the devil become the owner of the earth? The answer is that Adam sold it to him through sin and disobedience.
Christ did not contend with the devil over the ownership, rather he came to break his(the devil) power by his earthly assignment and death on the cross… He has become the author of salvation to the ones who INDIVIDUALLY  decide to detach to THE KINGDOM OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD..The invitation is an open one. John 1:12


Ques: What nature was man made? What were his qualities?
Ans: God breathed in to man and he became a living #soul. Gen 2: 7 This made the first Adam predominantly soulish- a slave of his senses, i.e eyes, ears , taste, feel, smell. He is a  #terrestrial  being and the spirit in him was subject to his accepted master. By the fall, the spirit was already subject to the devil and it began to strive with God. Gen 6:3.
Ques: How can man acquire a celestial spirit?
Ans: This is only made possible to redeemed saints who professed faith in Christ Jesus.
Had man a quickening spirit, 1 Cor 15:45, He would have possessed a #celestial body which is immortal, but he did not eat the fruit  of the tree of life Gen3:22 which in the sense realm could have given him this ability before he was driven out of the garden.
God has both terrestrial and celestial body, so he functions in heaven and earth. And Christ, took up his celestial body after resurrection, because he has  a quickening  spirit, that is different from that of man. This enabled him to resurrect in the same earthly body.
At new birth, we acquire the quickening spirit which manifests after physical death ,that gives us the eternal life 1 John 5 vs 12. At physical death, we pick up our celestial bodies. 1 Cor 15. This is no longer in the sense realm, but in the faith realm, because we are now justified by faith ..Romans 5.

Ques: How was eve deceived?
Ans: Eve was deceived  through the same thing that still deceives many Christians today. Which is contention with the word of God. God gave them direct instructions but they followed the voice of the stranger. The serpent knew that the spirit in man is subject to mastership {psalm 51:12} Man is a free spirit. He is a free moral agent, so satan simply re-analysed   God's word and Eve gave in.. Gen3:6.
The major points to note in this matter were the things that informed the decision of Eve.
1.    The woman saw that the fruit was good for food[lust of flesh] 1 john 2;15-17
2.    She saw that it was pleasant to the eyes[lust of eyes]1 john 2 ;15-17
3.    She learnt it would make her wise[pride of life] 1 john 2;15-17
The devil's real mission is to counter the word of God and provide an alternative that will get man into trouble.
Ques: Does this have a root in the New Testament of The Bible?
Ans: Jesus is the Word of God manifested in the flesh  John 1:14 and he being the Word himself gave his own analysis as the sower of the word in Mark 4:14-19. The summary of this scripture is the same with the above. When the word of God is sown, if any of the above three things(Lust) are present, it will definitely choke the word.
One can have all the good things of life and live for Christ, if the Word is treasured.

Beloved, the world is presently going through a lot of crisis and unfortunately, with all the wonderful promises that Jesus gave the believers in the scripture, the believers are also going through all these woes. Christian marriages are crashing, businesses of professed Christians are on downturn, Christians are dying of terminal diseases, Bad habits are not given up etc. The list is endless .One question you should ask yourself  is this, if am truly a child of God, why are am I going through  what I am  presently going through? Does it mean that those promises are not for me? I am going to take you through a journey of faith that will end all those problems, calamities and afflictions in Jesus name.
There is an assurance of faith you must have if you are going through the above..(to be continued.... )

The Three #Buildings.
The human #being is made up of three buildings, namely the #Spirit, #Soul and Body.
2 Corinthians 5  from verse 1 says ‘For we know that if our #earthly house of this tabernacle is dissolved, we have a building of God, and house not made with  hands #eternal from heaven’
The earthly house referred to here is the body. The body can be remodeled the way we want, we can even do plastic #surgery to make our bodies to our taste, the body can also be subjected to the wants of our soul, but it can be dissolved by #sickness and perish like a  pack of cards!
This scripture goes on to say, there is a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal from heaven …..
Your Spirit cannot be remodeled with hands. It cannot be harmed with hands, it cannot be re shaped by hands. Have you ever wondered why some people are so feeble and sickly but they keep on living? And some people look so well but they are suddenly struck down and die? Why do the healing of some people shock the Doctors and make medical  theories sound unreal? The answer is that, though they were sick but their Spirit sustained their infirmity. The bible says the Spirit of man will sustain his infirmity but a broken spirit, who can bear?....Proverb 18 verse 14
The third building is your soul. The soul serves as an intermediary between the body and the spirit in both sustaining the infirmity or receiving your healing. The soul is the information ministry that receives information, processes and #transmits to the Spirit. It is the seat of your emotions, will and drive.
It is from your soul you receive information such as ‘do you know this sickness kills fast’? you must die now, no one survives this type of illness’
Your soul has the capacity to store negative or positive database to use in periods like this. As it has the ability to store negative things, it also has the ability to store positive things as well. It has the ability to accept the Word of God and transmit same to your Spirit. Words such as ‘He was wounded for my transgression, bruised for my iniquities, the chastisement of my peace was upon him, and by his stripes I am  HEALED! Isaiah 53:5. Your soul has the capability to cling unto the Word of the Lord which says ‘I am the Lord that #heals you’ Exodus 15 vs. 26(AMP).
If you were taught to make positive confessions only without a conviction in your soul, if your soul only goes for negative information without corresponding effort to get positive testimonies of what God did in the days of Bible, and what he still does now, if you are not committed to pondering over the testimonies of God related to your situation, your soul will be fed with junks and the Healing works you desire might not come!
Have you read about the man of God called Smith Wiggleworth that was healed of appendicitis and later had kidney stones? He lived with kidney stones for six years and was eventually healed, but while he lived with kidney stones, he was still used as a vessel to visit several countries  and heal many others. How did he get the strength? He did because the spirit was not sick!
Have you heard of Kenneth Hagin, who was deathly sick of deformed heart and left to die at seventeen but was miraculously healed by believing God’s word on his sick bed and later went on to become a healing minister and lived on till the Lord took him at eighty-three?
I have personally been healed of hypertension, heart palpitation, and many other ailments by appropriating the Word of God by faith.
What keeps a man living on when his body is giving all the evidence that he should have died is the building of the spirit! When the building of the spirit is fed with the right information from the soul building, and the information is processed and accepted, Healing results!
Sometimes the Spirit is healed, but it takes the body sometime to regain its composure, if this is the case, we need to continuously take a stand in the Spirit that the Healing is done. Seeing in the eyes of the Spirit that the building of God which is in you  is healed because the maker  has affirmed that ‘I AM THE LORD THAT HEALS YOU’

higher step in the school of #faith

Beloved, Your coming across this message is divine and timely, no matter when you get it because heaven is about to step into your case and mould you to the shape that your creator originally designed. Amen. It is a tragedy that a lot of people are not following God"s original design for their lives, some are what their parents want them to be, some are what the society want them to be, some are what the enemies want them to be and a lot more what friends want them to be, but I prophesy to your life, that as you follow the series of these messages, you will be transformed in the name of Jesus. The Bible is the perfect manual to run the life of man as it is the trusted word from the creator who says we are his workmanship created for good works. Ephesians 2:10. For the next twelve months, we will be looking at Twelve areas in the School of the #Spirit Starting with #Faith, on to #Healing, #Spiritual Gifts, #Heavenly #Visions, Prayer, #Holy Spirit, Eternity/Salvation, #Spiritual Power, Provoking Blessings/ Prosperity Without Compromising Righteousness, Visions and Dreams, Walking in the miraculous, Deliverance/Defeating demonic Strongholds. We believe that these teachings will ultimately bless your life and give you an eternal hope that we have already. In these very edition, we will be discussion faith in a deeper context. The world is perishing because of the problem of faith, because we are Justified by faith in the act of omnipotence of the creator(Romans 5 Vs 1.
And it is this faith that gives us ultimate peace with God, and answers all lives questions. It is by faith we have ACCESS TO GRACE THAT MAKES US TO KEEP STANDING. (ROMANS 5 Vs 2). Faith is not cheap talk, it is a journey! But it is the best route to the best of what eternity offers. I personally can testify that faith is the thing! Now let"s examine the greatest enemies of faith.Please read meditatively with your bible by your side to digest the following scriptural references. At the fall (Gen 3:22) in the garden, man who was created soulish (sense conscious) Gen 2:7, was left at the mercy of his 5 senses (see, taste, feel , smell or touch) and every contact that he has with the world and everything he knows about the world is through these five senses. To aid his senses in search for reality, man has developed the microscope, telescope and spectroscope, yet, these instruments have only aided his senses in contact with the world around him. However, he has discovered that there is a spiritual world i.e. (dreams) that he can not contact/control through his senses, he knows also that the universe is held by a force that he can not explain through his senses, then, in his quest to dissolve mysteries, he delves into psychology, Christian science, new age, philosophies, myths, and several religions but all could not contact God and could not unravel the problem of sin and eternity. Then in his foolishness, he concludes that God must be a kind of universal mind. All the above gave birth to the sense knowledge that has been the problem of man. Sense knowledge can not contact God. God is a Spirit and can only be contacted in the realm of the spirit. (John 4:24) 2 Cor. 4vs.18 makes us understand that "anything that is seen is temporal" while the unseen realities are the things that have eternal value. Once the senses can have a grasp of a thing or an action, it does not have eternal value.
Sense knowledge has limited man"s walk of faith with the God "WHO QUICKENETH THE DEAD AND CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE" (Rom 4:17). The God that has called forth these things has given us a knowledge that is higher than sense knowledge and it is called the REVELATION KNOWLEDGE. The revelation knowledge requires that men will belief first before they see. Man however is so sense ruled that he wants to see before he believes. The foolish thing in these is that "SCIENTIFIC THEORIES ARE FIRSTLY BITS AND PIECES OF GUESSWORK CALLED HYPOTHESIS BEFORE IT IS ACCEPTED AS THEORY" and this is the backbone of today"s inventions that man has trusted so much. The "REVELATION KNOWLEDGE" also requires that man will first receive God"s Word and believe and act upon the Word to see results, (Jeremiah 1:12) says I will hasten my word to perform it. But man has kicked against this revelation knowledge and has suffered for it greatly. We will share two common examples in the scripture now. In Luke 17 vs. 11-19, some lepers went to meet Christ to be healed and he didn"t lay hands on them to heal them as expected, but he told them TO GO AND SHOW THEMSELVES TO THE PRIEST, AND ON THEIR WAY THEY WERE HEALED.NOTE THAT AS AT WHEN THESE PEOPLE LEFT JESUS, THEY WERE NOT HEALED BUT WHEN THEY ACTED ON HIS WORD, THEY RECEIVED THE HEALING. WE CANNOT PRESCRIBE TO GOD THE EXACT WAY WE WANT HIM TO MOVE IN OUR SITUATION BUT WE CAN MOVE HIM BY OUR ACT OF FAITH AND UNWAVERING TRUST IN HIS WORD. The man of God, Smith Wigglesworth said "if the spirit does not move me, I move the spirit". In the case of Jesus Christ encounter with Peter in Luke 5 vs. 5, "Peter who happened to be a professional fisherman said to Christ "master, we have toiled all night, nevertheless, at your word, I will let down my net" NOTE : AT THY WORD. Christ is the "WORD MADE FLESH" that answers all questions on the totality of our existence. THE WORLD IS HELD TOGETHER BY THE WORD OF HIS POWER. (Heb 1:vs3). When we pray for healing, it is because the person we pray for, can not see/accept that he has been healed as in Isaiah 53:5. He now has to come under another scripture that says "we shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover Mark 16:15. Many will also not be moved until they are anointed with oil.
I HAVE THE REALITY OF ISAIAH 53:5 IN MY SPIRIT, AND THAT IS WHY I ALWAYS SAY/PREACH, I CAN NOT BE SICK. BELOVED, DO NOT MIS-INTERPRETE ME, I DO FEEL SICKNESS SOMETIMES, BUT IT CAN NOT STAY, BECAUSE THE REALITY OF THE WORD IS HIGHER THAN THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF SICKNESS. Most people who claim to have faith do not really have faith, they only say it as a mental assent, it is not REAL!. STURBORN FAITH IS UNWAVARING IN FACE OF REALITY OF SENSES AND OBVIOUS OPPOSITIONS.!!!!!!!!!! I have laid hands on the sick sometimes and pray "be healed in Jesus name" and I ask the sick person" are you healed? Then he says "the pain is still there." Such a fellow should concentrate on his doctors because he has not received the Word of faith and COULD only have been healed by the sovereign act of the Almighty God. Some also place their faith in experiences. All these is sense knowledge and will not achieve results. Beloved, you need to know that the devil is clever and his demons are present EVEN when prayer is being prayed for the sick,(Job 1:6) THEY ARE PRESENT WHERE EVER THE ANGELS OF LIGHT ARE TOO. THEY ARE CLEVER LAWYERS WHO CAN EASILY ACCUSE YOU OF THE SPIRITUAL CRIME OF UNBELIEF. IT IS AMAZING THAT WE HAVE SO MUCH FAITH IN HUMAN ORGANISATIONS LIKE BANKS. WE WRITE A CHECK IN OUR NAME AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE MONEY, WE EXPECT THE BANK TO HONOUR IT. WE INVEST IN SEVERAL ORGANISATIONS AND EXPECT RETURNS AS PROMISED. BUT THE LORD HAS GIVEN US THE WORD AND HIMSELF AS GUARANTEE TO BACK IT UP (JER 1:12) BUT WE SCORN IT. Before we round up, we will share the spectacular act of faith by the man of God Elijah in turning the hand of God by faith. In the book of First Kings, Elijah had locked up the heaven and was now going to open it up after slaying the Baal prophets. In the beginning of the mighty act of faith demonstrated by Elijah, (verse 41),He challenged the king to prepare for rain without any doubt. As at this time, he had not even informed God in prayer as to his intention of re-opening the heaven. Then he sent his servant seven times to check the rain when he was on his knees petitioning the Lord for rain, and immediately the servant reported that he saw something like a man"s hand rise out of the sea he announced his FAITH BREATHROUGH WITHOUT DELAY AS HE SENT A MESSAGE TO THE KING TO RUN AHEAD OF THE RAIN WHILE HE OUTRAN THE KING. ALLELUJAH! HE HAD THE OPTION TO WALK AND NOT RUN BUT HE HAD TO PERFECT HIS FAITH ACT WITH DEMONSTRATION! FAITH IS AN EVIDENCE, IT IS NOT CHEAP TALK!!!!!!! Beloved, why will Elijah go through all these when he could have just prayed casually and rain would come? Let us not forget that man in complete charge over the affairs of the earth as God is in Heaven, GEN 1:28, PSALM 115 :16. There are other demoniacal forces that are operating on earth until their time runs out in the second advent. These forces can cause delay in receiving answers to prayer. In Daniel 10 verse 11-14, we can see how these forces cause delay, and how persistence in the alter of prayer and violent faith dislodge these forces. Arise beloved and take your position in the victory provided for you in Christ Jesus. You can change that situation, you can turn around those events, you can make a difference now in your situation. Only believe!!!! However, God is not under obligation to bless his enemies, and the only way you can become his friend is to accept the elaborate plan of redemption he accomplished in Christ Jesus. If you have not done this, or you just did it mentally but not from your heart, say the following prayers after me: Lord Jesus, I believe that you died for me and on the third day, you rose that I may be justified. As from today, I accept you as my Lord and personal savior, I am sorry for my sins, and with your grace, I will not go back to them, write my name in the book of life and keep me from the tricks of Satan. Amen. I congratulate everyone that has prayed this prayer and welcome you to the faith world of possibilities. Faith is it!!

#Power TO #Heal

There is a depth in the spirit that i want you to reach. There are levels of possibilities you have probably not known. In Mathew 9 verse 24-25, Jesus Christ went to bring a girl that was dead back to life. He had to tell the relatives, friends, mourners to leave the room because spiritual things don’t work in the atmosphere of unbelief !! When he had driven away the mourners he took the girl by hand, and she arose! I believe Jesus did this because he was in the spirit, he only spoke and the spirit of death bowed. All the parameters that brings about death were just taking place concerning this particular girl. However, in John chapter11, Lazarus had been dead for four days, and the spirit of death had caged him. He was already stinking, to attain the realm in the spirit that would cage death, Jesus was overwhelmed with compassion and ‘he wept’. He then began to groan in the spirit and the bible says “he was troubled”. When you groan in the spirit or travail, something will be born by you spiritually. There will be a release of tremendous power for deliverance! That was what happened. There was power released for the bringing back of lazarus back to life! When all these were accomplished, he cried ‘ Lazarus! Come forth ‘” and the bands of death was broken immediately. I am challenging you to be provoked in the spirit so that you can obtain your deliverance right away. Are you ready? There is a fountain flowing with the virtues of Jesus that can be birthed in the spirit to take you out of that infirmity. I have been through this journey before and tell you it is a sweet adventure in the spirit!

you can become partaker of righteousness today!

Sin Consciousness, A Bed Of Sorrows. For anyone who would obtain eternal joy, there is need for such a person to understand what the consciousness of sin can cause. A wounded conscience can go a long way to bring about sorrow of the mind…. Beloved, this very topic is the bedrock of doctrines in the body of #Christ that we can say is pulling some apart and threatening to split the body. But, we all know as it's written that the gate of hell can not prevail against the church. Alleluyah!!!. Most doctrines are derived from the interpretation of what actually #righteousness is and everyone goes around trying to establish a form of righteousness for themselves. This has led to the huge church prison experience as seen in RICK JOYNER'S BOOK TITLED ‘ THE CALL’. Most people have mixed together the meaning of righteousness and holiness, but the two are completely different! Righteousness means having the right standing before #God while Holiness is living right…having good moral standards….. Let me explain righteousness in layman terms; a child can stand before the parent based on the bloodline relationship by virtue of his birth, so also righteousness before God as Christians is not based on holiness but on the works that was finished by #Jesus Christ to reconcile us to God as sons. While the two are being confused with each other is that Holiness makes us to come to terms with reality that we are bought with a price by the redemption works on the cross and as a result, the saving of our soul requires presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice (Roman 12 verse 1-2) While some folks who confuse the two say that you work out your righteousness and become holy by a great measure of self control and ethics and morals learnt over time, while another group says that by having faith, righteousness is imputed to you as Abraham in Romans 4;3. ' what saith the scripture? That Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness' A lot even looked at some of the areas that the fathers of faith missed it, and use it as justification for sin. You are just to believe the redemption works were done for you to be counted as righteous!. The truth beloved is, YOU CAN BECOME HOLY, YOU CAN BECOME RIGHTEOUS!! Just follow me in this expository teaching!!! This does not mean that you will not miss it sometimes, but, we have an advocate, Lord Jesus, who is always there, interceding for us.1John 2:1 That anger, pride can leave without you making personal efforts!!!. Receive the knowledge that will bring this grace through this teaching in Jesus name.!!!! If you make personal efforts to conquer sins, it will work for a while and resurface in a bigger way in no distant time., and if you say that you do not have sin because you are a new creature, you have missed it!!!!. Paul the Apostle was able to conquer sin in Romans 7 through his skillfulness in the word of righteousness as in Hebrews 5;11- 14 ' …….‘of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing, for when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as need of milk and not of strong meat, for everyone that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness; for he is a babe, but strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of their senses exercised to discern both good and evil'. How then do you attain righteousness? You don't need to wear bad clothes, or trousers that don't touch the ground, or very long skirt. I am going to explain to you by presenting the following scenario; Follow me; Suppose a young lady from very poor background gets a wedding proposition from a very wealthy man for marriage, and she consents, she will as a matter of fact move from her poverty and misery to the splendor of the groom. The groom will not tell her to leave her poverty, but by accepting to marry the groom, she will just have to let go of her poverty to live with the groom. Now, Jesus is our groom and we are the bride of the Lord, just like the bride, Jesus will not tell us to drop your sins, he never told the disciples that, at first, he only said, 'learn of me' Mattew 11. vs 29 he says we should learn of him so that we will know what is expected of us. If the bride we refer to here was a woodcutter, she will learn in the home of the groom that we can use modern machinery for wood-cutting. COME LETS MOVE ON: THE GROOM (JESUS) HAS HIS FAMILY SYSTEM, HIS ECONOMIC SYSTEM, HIS REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM, HOW HE RESPONDS TO SITUATIONS etc. In his Economic system, which includes his feeding pattern, he has an alternative food which is the Word of God Luke 4 vs 4, 'man shall not live by bread alone……………. and he demystified hunger in Deuteronomy 8 vs 3. 'and he humbled thee and suffered thee to hunger, that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread alone……………….. This is however one the most important attribute of the groom. In his family pattern, John 1 vs 12 ' but as many as received him, to them he gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe in his name' and 13 ' which are born not of…………………..his family means is not necessarily the people he was born with, NOT ALONG THE NATURAL LINES!! He mentioned this in John 3:6 his strategy is not on the natural lines in John 3:8 He met the needs of people first before thinking of his own needs in the feeding of 5000, but his own needs are always met as people bombarded him with money enough that he needed even a treasurer (Judas). HE WAS RICH. Martha was always cooking to receive him and the sinful woman used the most costly perfume to clean his legs. He was refused a VISA to Samaritan village, but he was not angry and he detested vengeance because he knew who he was. Luke 9:51-56. He prepared food for the disciples who just betrayed him after death by resurrection John 21. Glory.!!!!!!!!!!! ALL THE ABOVE CAN BE DONE BY YOU AS YOU CONTINUE TO RENEW YOUR MIND IN THE WORD DAILY. DO THAT THING JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR GROOM!!!!!! Other wise, you will experience a broken fellowship. Be a doer of Gal 2:20!!! If you operate in even a few of these, you will see results as his righteousness is revealed from faith to faith Romans 1:17. but I advise you to operate in all, so that you can be a joint heir of his kingdom!!!!!!. As you live in the consciousness of the Word, fashion your life according to the Word who was made flesh John 1:14, 'and the word was made flesh……………… you will realize that you do not need to learn any form of righteousness as he has been made your righteousness. 1 Cor 1 vs 30. Get renewed by the Word Romans 12 vs 1-2 and you will just be perfect- Hebrews 6. If this is happening to others, it must be happening to you. You must live in HEAVEN ON EARTH. Romans 8:28 brings eternal joy to your spirit anytime you are depressed because you know that all things work together for your good…….

prayer that moves the mountain!

Prayer That Moves #Mountains! #Prayer is needed to come out of deep afflictions! When #Jesus came down from the mount of transfiguration, he had a case on his hands in which he had to rebuke the deaf and dumb spirit from an afflicted person, and the fellow was healed! The disciples had labored to heal this fellow without success until Jesus moved in. However he gave a prescription for such healing in verse 29 of Mark Chapter 9… he said unto them ‘this kind can come forth by prayer and fasting,” We may need to break through some realms in the spirit before deliverance can be obtained. When some problems are deeply rooted, deliverance might not come cheap! Prayer is the very voice of faith. Prayer is connected deeply with faith and they work hand in hand! Beloved, a new season has come to your experience in the Christian #faith!! The information of Your adoption as a Son of God with the numerous benefits you have will be released to you in this message. The devil, adversary of man loves to hide divine information from his victims. Pray this prayer now: You demonic powers hiding divine information from me, be removed far from me in Jesus name. The subject of prayer cannot be completed in an encyclopedia, but as much as the Lord will help me, I will share the basics with you. I will implore you to read with rapt attention. Prayer is not an arrangement of cleverly organised words or the display of Spiritual eloquence because our God is not the God that can be ‘PACKAGED’ with clever/impressive words. He is the author of all wisdom, as a result, man’s devised wisdom is foolishness with God 1 Corinthians 3:19. Prayer a spiritual communication with #God who is a spirit. John 4:24. PRAYER IS THEREFORE A #SPIRIT BASED EXERCISE. LORD, LORD,TEACH US TO PRAY!!!!! Many have been praying very cleverly arranged and mechanical prayers, and are even frustrated in the alter of prayers without getting results, because many words are spoken but barely any real communication. Some people think praying in understanding in the name of Jesus and speaking in tongues are the only prayers. Some have never heard of travail in the spirit (Galatians 4:19). There are several levels and classes of prayers beloved. Paul the Apostle even talks about singing in the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 14:15. Jude 1:20 talks about building yourselves in praying in the Holy Ghost. Man is made up of spirit, soul and body and the three has to be involved in prayer, but in an effective prayer, the Spirit is the chief participant because the ‘The Spirit of man is the candle of the Lord searching the inward parts of the belly’ (PROVERBS 20:27) To also be successful in the School of Prayer, you need to know that there is a dividing asunder of the soul and spirit (Hebrews 4:12). Matthew Chapter 6 is an expository chapter in the ministry of prayer, where Christ taught his disciples the very objects of prayer. It is unfortunate that the Lord’s prayer, which was given as a guide to the Church was turned to a ritualistic recitation, which is more or less a poem. The Lord never meant us to recite the Lord’s prayer as a poem but it is to guide us to have a perfect fellowship in prayer. LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY!!!!!! The first object of the Lord’s prayer is ‘our father, who art in heaven , Hallowed been thy name, thy kingdom come, are all objects of worship of the Almighty God, where we worship him for who he is and Who he is to our lives. in this area, we speak his testimony back to him, thank him for being the one in charge of our lives ( this worship is acceptable in spirit if only if you don’t have hidden gods and idols in your heart) The next object is understanding the obligations of the kingdom. Christ said ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. To enter and fully utilize these very object of prayer, you must understand the essence of Christ ministry on earth, our obligations in the kingdom. From the time of creation, God gave man dominion over everything on the surface of the earth, so he has limited himself on earth in what he can do, except by our prayers. This is also in Psalm 115:16. God’s will is perfect in Heaven ,but on earth, man is required to bring down his will upon the earth. There is a universal spiritual government that was re-created when man fell in the garden and it became compulsory for man to seek God in prayer and fellowship to allow his will upon the earth over any matter. In every dispensation, there was a need for an intercessor or advocate for God’s people. In the period of the Law, Moses needed to seek the face of God for any matter to prevail, while in the dispensation of the prophets headed by Elijah, the Lord is also sought by the prophets before any matter can prevail. When God saw the hopelessness of man ISAIAH 59:16, he raised an intercessor/advocate for us in Christ Jesus and that was how he brought his kingdom down to the earth!! And he is asking us to do same in Mark 16:15 ‘Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In heaven. ’ LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY! To be a skillful student in the School of prayer, there must ‘BE A THIRST’ in the Spirit as Christ proclaimed in John 7:38. The person that wants to prevail with God in prayer must be very thirsty for him. There must be an inner hunger for him. God is willing to over-answer our prayers!, but we need to know how to reach him even in the alter of our prayers. The next object in the Lord’s Prayer is ‘Give us these day our daily bread’!! this is the realm of asking for our needs. These object of prayer implies that our needs must be things that will glorify him. Things that will promote his kingdom on earth!!! That is why this follows the line ‘ thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven’. For us to prevail in the alter of prayer, whatever the vocation we are doing must be showcasing and promoting his kingdom upon the earth!!! LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY!!! Nicodemus was a reputable spiritual teacher, but he knew he needed to clarify many things spiritually, so he sneaked out in the dead of night to trace the master. He needed to know divine requirement to be in the kingdom of God, JOHN 3:3 he needed to know the attributes of people of God who walk in the Spirit! Thank God for Nicodemus!!!!!!!!!! There must be a hunger for the Lord beyond your Sunday service or Bible study, there must be a hunger to be one of the people who will partner God in the mass harvest of souls in these end times! God has made tremendous power available to the Church these end times, and that is why the Church is very wealthy! But beyond this wealth, there is presently a call in the spirit to partner God in the redemption of his people. To do this, OUR PRAYER MUST RISE BEYOND THE ORDINARY LEVEL TO THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT!!!! LORD TEACH US TO PRAY!!!People are thirsty for God but they are sincerely blind, they cannot see him. (Isaiah 6:10 And Mark 4:12). If your prayers rise beyond the ordinary, and you enter into sweet communion with our loving father who is always ready to answer our cry in the Spirit, you become a solution to spiritual problem in your environment!! You will become the spiritual consultant in your environment. You are the Jesus of this time! You are a branch sent forth to manifest his attributes and make people know that they need to turn from other beggarly powers and turn to the most high. You need to invest in knowledge that will promote you in the School of prayer! There is a cry of prayer in the spirit, a groan for help that goes beyond audible words! That is the prayer of the Spirit, and that is the prayer that can break any stubborn yoke of infirmity. When Jesus got to the tomb of lazarus in John chapter 11, he was compassionate and he wept!! Lord Jesus wept! Away from the compassion, he was connected in the Spirit, and he groaned! He began to mutter inaudible words he broke through the barriers of death in the Spirit by groaning, before he shouted Lazarus! Come forth! And the gates of death set lazarus free! LORD TEACH US TO PRAY!

why faith is difficult.

Why Faith Is Difficult! Quite a number of people want to operate in Great #faith, but find it difficult to do so for the following reasons. 1. #God formed man and breathed into his nostrils and he became a living soul . (Genesis -2:7). Soul Is the Sit of reason, the one that establishes contact with the intellectual realm. It is the centre co-ordination of #senses and facts. Soul will encourage a natural man to see evidence before acceptance. 2. The spirit of man is subject to mastership of his choice at the fall. Man is upheld by free spirit (psalm 51:12), this means he has a choice whether to flow with the spirit of God or #satan. Initially, he flowed with the spirit of God, as he was both celestial and terrestrial (read 1 Corinthians 15: 40-50), as the fall, he became predominantly terrestrial. 3. Faith is of the spirit. It is for spiritual men. A natural man cannot accept this: ( 1 Corinthians 2:14). You can connect God in the realm of the spirit by faith because he is the father of spirits! John 4:24 What do you say?

what he did to make you free!

Understanding What #Jesus Christ Did Between the Cross and the Throne Through The Attached Cartoon. Titled: Acquitted. Box 1: The Entire race of man fell Through Adam and had to face the universal court of justice. Roman 3:23 (All have sinned and come short of the Glory of #God) Box2: Life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11), and so only Blood can be used for sacrifice of Atonement. And so the Law and the Prophets came but they can only cover sin, they cannot purge it (Hebrews 10:4). The case looked hopeless. There was need for blood that could purge sins. Box3: And so, man was sentenced to death, Death reigned from Adam till the coming of Jesus Christ. Box 4: Jesus Christ, having perfected eternal #salvation on the cross, went to Hell And took the keys of DEATH and was declared by the universal court as an able substitute to take our place (1 John 3:8), He appeared on the scene,’ having blotted out all the handwriting of ordinances that was against us which was contrary to us….took it out of the way, nailing it to the cross’…(Colossians 2:14) Box5: HE MADE YOU FREE! Box 6: What do you have to say now too?

Checklist For Your Healing!

Beloved, it is very important for you to know that #God is ever willing to do us good. Ever before #Christ came, the laws and the prophet were in place to guide us so that we would not fall into the hand on the adversary, the devil, the prince of this world, the author of sickness and curses. When the dispensation of the law and the prophets ended, he sent the prince of peace, Jesus Christ as our escape route from the prince of this world. He is ever willing to heal you, that is why he says ‘I am the God that Heals you’ (Exodus 15 verse 26). I will point out to you that there is no single method that can work for every healing case since the spirit of infirmity came in through different means. The Healings recorded in the bible came through different methods of healing ministration. I will like to mention at this stage, that the Holy Spirit is the healing partner that reveals to the healing minister, what to do and healing follows. He is our ultimate partner! However, in many cases, where the affliction proves tougher than what the person praying for healing envisages, especially where doctors have declared the case to be terminal, I will advise that you to run through the following checklist of fifteen things and see if there are areas that you are deficient and make necessary amends. Some of this areas might require that you get relevant books/materials to sharpen your spirit knowledge. I believe that by the time you are through, healing would result in Jesus name! 1. Get off the lane of ignorance of the Word of God, get enough #healing scriptures into your spirit, get rid of junks in your spirit and replace them with the Word. You may need to buy tapes of healing messages and listen. Deeply meditate on the areas of healing in the Bible. Faith comes by hearing…..Romans 10:17 2. Unbelief is Spiritual Criminality; God’s love and mercy in making Jesus available for us in grossly undermined in unbelief. In just a second, imagine the son you love so much, look you in the face and say ‘Daddy, I don’t trust you’ . that is how God feels when we cant just take him at his Word. Matthew 13:58, Mark 6:6 3. Unforgiveness is also one of the spiritual ropes tying people down to affliction. When you pray to God for mercy to be healed, you are in effect asking the Lord to forgive you, however, your being forgiven is tied to your willingness to forgive others. Matthew 11 verse 25-26. When the Lord forgives you like the sick of the palsy, healing results! Matthew 9. 4. Lack of Diligence: The heart is the centre of all the factors that will make you connect the Almighty God for your healing. Proverb 4:23 says You must be diligent from the heart! There must be a resolve and singleness of purpose. 5. Pride will prevent anyone from receiving from the Lord. Pride will disallow you from making amends where necessary. Proverbs 16:18. 6. Lack of Persistence: When believing God for healing especially in very serious cases, there might be need for persistence at the alter of prayer. There are powers in the realm of the spirit that may not allow some deliverance to take place without continuous bombardment in the spirit. The Lord also sometimes bears long with us. Read the story of The widow in Luke Chapter 18 verse 1-8. 7. Unconfessed Sin: This is one of the reasons that many people are not healed from very serious afflictions. Some people are just not ready to confess and let go of secret sins that they committed. Satan can bring up legalities and accusations to strengthen affliction. Ecclesiastes 10:8 ’ He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him’. An unconfessed sin will open the Hedge(spiritual covering). 8. Neglecting The Poor: Isaiah 58 verse 1-8 lists the condition of a true fast, and how the sick would be magnanimous to the poor in fasting and healing would result. Proverbs 19 vs 17 says ‘whoever gives to the poor, lends to the Lord and the Lord would pay him. 9. Grieving the Holy Spirit: Jesus Christ left us with the Holy Spirit, and he is our ultimate partner in the ministry. He is the revealer of what the Lord will have us do to get the divine the information for healing to result. He can be blasphemed. The bible makes it clear that such sins are unforgivable. 10. Involving in Occult: God hates idolatry with passion. Any past involvement in idolatry must be confessed and renounced for some certain cases of afflictions to give way. I believe this is one of cases that results in the toughest afflictions. Deliverance is required , and when this is done healing results. 11. Presence of Evil Spirit. In many instances that Jesus Christ healed, he cast out demons and the infirmity leaves. Not all sicknesses however, are manifestation of demons. Mark Chapter 9 verse 25-27 gives a clear case where the demons left and the victim was healed. Many terminal sicknesses are manifestation of evil spirit. 12. Negative Confession: The devil relies on the confession of many people to keep them in captivity, The Bible makes it clear in Hebrews 3:1 that Jesus Christ is the High Priest of our confession who has passed into the heavens. when you see that your healing is perfected in the Word of God, you may not have seen the physical manifestation, use the power of faith to release positive confession and take steps to claim your healing by force. 13. Waiting To See Before Believing: You can not have faith when you also choose to protect your fear. Mark 11 verse 23-24 says ‘For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe those things which he saith shall come to pass: he shall have whatsoever he saith”. There are activities of legalities in the realm of the spirit between confession and possession, that is however not the subject in this book. We are to maintain our confession of faith and our healing shall be accomplished. 14. Inability To Pray And To Fast: I mentioned earlier that there are levels of affliction that requires fasting. Matthew 17:21 Mark 9:29. The flesh will have to subdued for the spirit to communicate with the spirit of God John 4:24! The flesh will protest and want to have his way, but we are to put the flesh under, to be able to cry to the Father of spirits, the Almighty God, who is ever willing to bring about our deliverance! 15. Presence of Family Curse: The presence of Ancestral and family curse can be a serious hindrance to healing. The bible however makes it clear that ‘if any man is in Christ, old things have passed away’ however you still have to boldly affirm this in prayer for deliverance, otherwise it will not be applicable in your case. There is a scriptural provision in the scripture Galatians 3 verse 13-14, but if you cannot simply accept this as referring to you, then it cannot work. As you affirm, I see you healed and restored in Jesus name!

#faith # God # healing # Jesus #miracles

faith and miracles! Faith is not cheap talk, it is a journey! But it is the best route to the best of what eternity offers. I personally can testify that faith is the thing! Now let’s examine the greatest enemies of faith. Please read meditatively with your bible by your side to digest the following scriptural references. At the fall (Gen 3:22) in the garden, man who was created soulish (sense conscious) Gen 2:7 , was left at the mercy of his 5 senses (see, taste, feel , smell or touch) and every contact that he has with the world and everything he knows about the world is through these five senses. To aid his senses in search for reality, man has developed the microscope, telescope and spectroscope, yet, these instruments have only aided his senses in contact with the world around him. However, he has discovered that there is a spiritual world i.e. (dreams) that he can not contact/control through his senses, he knows also that the universe is held by a force that he can not explain through his senses, then, in his quest to dissolve mysteries, he delves into psychology, Christian science, new age, philosophies, myths, and several religions but all could not contact God and could not unravel the problem of sin and eternity. Then in his foolishness, he concludes that God must be a kind of universal mind. All the above gave birth to the sense knowledge that has been the problem of man. Sense knowledge can not contact God. God is a Spirit and can only be contacted in the realm of the spirit. (John 4:24) 2 Cor. 4vs.18 makes us understand that ‘ anything that is seen is temporal’ while the unseen realities are the things that have eternal value. Once the senses can have a grasp of a thing or an action, it does not have eternal value. Sense knowledge has limited man’s walk of faith with the God ‘WHO QUICKENETH THE DEAD AND CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE’ (Rom 4:17). The God that has called forth these things has given us knowledge that is higher than sense knowledge and it is called the REVELATION KNOWLEDGE. The revelation knowledge requires that men will belief first before they see. Man however is so sense ruled that he wants to see before he believes. The foolish thing in these is that ‘SCIENTIFIC THEORIES ARE FIRSTLY BITS AND PIECES OF GUESSWORK CALLED HYPOTHESIS BEFORE IT IS ACCEPTED AS THEORY’ and this is the backbone of today’s inventions that man has trusted so much. The ‘REVELATION KNOWLEDGE‘ also requires that man will first receive God’s Word and believe and act upon the Word to see results, (Jeremiah 1:12) says I will hasten my word to perform it. But man has kicked against this revelation knowledge and has suffered for it greatly. We’ll share two common examples in the scripture now. In Luke 17 vs. 11-19, some lepers went to meet Christ to be healed and he didn’t lay hands on them to heal them as expected of them, but he told them TO GO AND SHOW THEMSELVES TO THE PRIEST, AND ON THEIR WAY THEY WERE HEALED.NOTE THAT AS AT WHEN THESE PEOPLE LEFT JESUS, THEY WERE NOT HEALED BUT WHEN THEY ACTED ON HIS WORD, THEY RECEIVED THE HEALING.WE CANNOT PRESCRIBE TO GOD THE EXACT WAY WE WANT HIM TO MOVE IN OUR SITUATION BUT WE CAN MOVE HIM BY OUR ACT OF FAITH AND UNWAVERING TRUST IN HIS WORD. WE CAN ALSO FULFIL SOME PARAMETERS AND ENFORCE OUR HEALING. The man of God, Smith Wigglesworth said ‘if the spirit does not move me, I move the spirit’. In the case of Jesus Christ encounter with Peter in Luke 5 vs. 5, ‘ Peter who happened to be a professional fisherman said to Christ ‘master, we have toiled all night, nevertheless, at your word, I will let down my net’ NOTE : AT THY WORD. Christ is the ‘WORD MADE FLESH’ that answers all life’s questions on the totality of our existence. THE WORLD IS HELD TOGETHER BY THE WORD OF HIS POWER. (Heb 1:vs3). When we pray for healing, it is because the person we pray for, can not see/accept that he has been healed as in Isaiah 53:5. He now has to come under another scripture that says ‘we shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover Mark 16:15. Many will also not be moved until they are anointed with oil which is also scriptural! I HAVE THE REALITY OF ISAIAH 53:5 IN MY SPIRIT, AND THAT IS WHY I ALWAYS SAY/PREACH, I CAN NOT BE SICK. BELOVED, DO NOT MIS-INTERPRETE ME, I DO FEEL SICKNESS SOMETIMES, BUT IT CAN NOT STAY, BECAUSE THE REALITY OF THE WORD IS HIGHER THAN THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF SICKNESS. Most people who claim to have faith do not really have faith, they only say it as a mental assent, it is not REAL!. STURBORN FAITH IS UNWAVARING IN FACE OF REALITY OF SENSES AND OBVIOUS OPPOSITIONS.!!!!!!!!!! I have laid hands on the sick sometimes and pray saying ‘be healed in Jesus name’ and I ask the sick person ‘are you healed? Then he says ‘the pain is still there.’ Such a fellow should concentrate on his doctors because he has not received the Word of faith and COULD only healed by the sovereign act of the Almighty God. Some also place their faith in experiences. All these is sense knowledge and will not achieve results. Beloved, you need to know that the devil is clever and his demons are present EVEN when prayer is being offered for the sick,(Job 1:6) THEY ARE PRESENT WHERE EVER THE ANGELS OF LIGHT ARE TOO. THEY ARE CLEVER LAWYERS WHO CAN EASILY ACCUSE YOU OF THE SPIRITUAL CRIME OF UNBELIEF. IT IS AMAZING THAT WE HAVE SO MUCH FAITH IN HUMAN ORGANISATIONS LIKE BANKS. WE WRITE A CHECK IN OUR NAME AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE MONEY, WE EXPECT THE BANK TO HONOUR IT. WE INVEST IN SEVERAL ORGANISATIONS AND EXPECT RETURNS AS PROMISED. BUT THE LORD HAS GIVEN US THE WORD AND HIMSELF AS GUARANTEE TO BACK IT UP (JER 1:12) BUT WE SCORN IT! Before we round up on faith message, we will share the spectacular act of faith by the man of God Elijah in turning the hand of God by faith. In the book of First Kings, Elijah had locked up the heaven and was now going to open it up after slaying the Baal prophets. In the beginning of the mighty act of faith demonstrated by Elijah, (verse 41),He challenged the king to prepare for rain without any doubt. As at this time, he had not even informed God in prayer as to his intention of re-opening the heaven. Then he sent his servant seven times to check the rain when he was on his knees petitioning the Lord for rain, and immediately the servant reported that he saw something like a man’s hand rise out of the sea he announced his FAITH BREATHROUGH WITHOUT DELAY AS HE SENT A MESSAGE TO THE KING TO RUN AHEAD OF THE RAIN WHILE HE OUTRAN THE KING. ALLELUJAH! HE HAD THE OPTION TO WALK AND NOT RUN BUT HE HAD TO PERFECT HIS FAITH ACT WITH DEMONSTRATION! FAITH IS AN EVIDENCE, IT IS NOT CHEAP TALK!!!!!!! Beloved, why will Elijah go through all these when he could have just prayed casually and rain would come? Let us not forget that man is in complete charge over the affairs of the earth as God is in Heaven, GEN 1:28, PSALM 115 :16. There are other demoniacal forces that are operating on earth until their time runs out in the second advent. These forces can cause delay in receiving answers to prayer. In Daniel 10 verse 11-14, we can see how these forces cause delay, and how persistence in the alter of prayer and violent faith dislodge these forces. Arise beloved and take your position in the victory provided for you in Christ Jesus. You can change that situation, you can turn around those events, you can make a difference now in your situation. Only believe!!!!

#healing #soul #Christ #God #Feeling #Deliverance

Understanding Healing The Simple Way! The fall of man in the Garden reduced him to a soulish being (soul is the sit of intelligence)He only trusts in his senses. Many of us are born to accept that when we experience flu, fever or any form of dis-ease, through our sense members, i.e eyes, ears, nose, taste and feeling, we still as a matter of fact turn to a solution born out of senses. Obtaining divine healing is however a business of the spirit, the bible says that God is a spirit and they that will contact/worship him will need to be connected in the spirit John 4:24. There is a need to change our believe system in other to have this experience… Feeling is a voice of the senses…….Expect a Healing AND NOT A FEELING! Healing is borne out of revelation knowledge of whose provision is in the scripture….. Exodus 15:26,,, Our soulish experience has been part of us from childhood. It is time to walk in revelation knowledge. I took this step years back and I can tell you it is more than real. What do you have to say about this? Share your experience and where you need a touch. We can help you walk in this faith… It is an exciting life and a transforming experience. God bless you!

#deliverance #healing #God #Jesus

The Deliverance Connection. Deliverance cannot be separated from healing. In many cases Jesus cast out demons, and the victim is healed of the spirit of infirmity. The commission of Christ is heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons and proclaim the kingdom! He cast out the unclean spirit in the madman of Gadara, Mark Chapter 5 from verse 1 and he was healed! There is foolish argument that is making the rounds in the body of Christ, a lot of people are of the opinion that a Christian can not be demonized.. Ponder on this briefly to get a grasp of this very well… Jesus Christ came to preach deliverance to captives, Luke 4:18, he gave the same commission to those of us who are his disciples. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says ‘if any man be in Christ…old things have passed away’ … Now, ponder a little on Luke 4 from verse 1 that the devil came to tempt Jesus Christ knowing that he is the son of God! What does that tell you? God has made provision for your deliverance, but it has to be enforced by every available spiritual weaponry! The devil does not want his works exposed, so he attacks the ministrations and ministry of deliverance more than any other ministry. Talking about sicknesses however, it can come from two sources, the first is by violation of spiritual principles which means that we violate the use of our physical bodies in abuse of food, alcohol, excessive work, hygiene, drugs etc.. The second is through the devil by different means which we will discuss more in this chapter. But notable among the ways the devil afflicts is to plant sickness when men slept… the enemy came and sow tares. (Matthew 13:25). He also brings accusations based on legality in the spirit realm. Even when sickness comes as a result of chastisement or trial, God will have to turn his face so that the devil can bring sickness. God is always good and wants his children to be in good health. He is the Lord that heals! Does it not excite you that we have a good father? How then do you receive divine healing if you are plagued by any sickness? Firstly, you have to recognize the source of the affliction, if it is through the violation of your body or it is demoniacal. I will be sharing some insights on deliverance and I know the message will help you if the source of your affliction is the devil. Beloved, I have had to explain to several people during counseling sessions the demands of our faith and possessing power from above, and it looks as if many people do not want to come to terms with reality that indeed, the Christian faith is NOT tea party, a call to careless living and senseless liberty. We are called to prayerfulness and watchfulness. Watchfulness for a child of God is very important. it does not refer to living a holy life alone and being cautious and obedient to the Word of God, it is also a wake up call not to be ignorant of the devices of the devil (2 Corinthians 2 verse 11). God is so merciful to alert us when there is danger in the realm of the spirit so that we can make use of the weapons available at our disposal to destroy evil works in operation. Dreams and visions are very good spiritual monitor of events in the spirit! Lets look at Job 33 verse 14-18. 14 ‘For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. 15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumbering upon the bed 16 Then he openeth the ears of men and sealeth their instruction 17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose and hide pride from man.18 He keepeth back his soul from pit and his life from perishing from the sword. Lets look at another scripture in Matthew 13 verse 25 ‘but while men slept, his enemy came and sow tares among the wheat, and went his way…. I mentioned earlier that there are legalities in things of the spirit based on so many reasons. That is however not the subject of this book. Dream especially can be a spiritual monitor of something that could eventually lead to undiagnosed sickness, or some serious ailments that just came up overnight without symptoms. Before demoniacal sicknesses which is sometimes terminal comes up, there might have been dreams where the victim is regularly fed or drank…This sort of dreams should be addressed in prayers. All such consumptions are evil and must be vomited in faith! Deliverance is much needed when there is Constant dream attacks/nightmares, suicide thoughts, unexplainable hatred from people, harassment from spirit husband/spirit wife when a victim is finding it hard to break from evil habits, but I am more concerned about your healing in this book! Many have gone through a lot of praying sessions, binding and loosing, casting out of demons, and have been marvelously delivered but have unfortunately slipped back to a stronger bondage requiring more prayers, more binding and loosing e.t.c. in many of these cases, frustration have started to set in. Romans 10 Verse 2 says something about people who have a lot of zeal, but the zeal is not according to knowledge!!!!. I pray for you that the veil of ignorance covering your sight shall be destroyed right now in Jesus name! We are going to be explaining some scriptures that have not received clarity in the soul of many people, Many have been kept in a cage that have always made them return to the house of bondage after deliverance. Deliverance is required from sin and from Satan, and it is needed by everyone because all have sinned…Rom 3:23. Deliverance is required because all of us dwell in a spiritual Egypt as a result of sin , and Satan is the taskmaster of Egyptian slaves…… If effect, when we come to Christ, we are still carrying the yoke of bondage. He however gave a very serious invitation for our freedom in Matthew 11:28-30. THIS SCRIPTURE IS OFTEN VERY MIS-INTERPRETED. VERSE 30 SAYS HIS ‘YOKE IS EASY AND HIS BURDEN IS LIGHT. Beloved, there is a satanic yoke, and there is a ‘yoke of Jesus’ THE UNIVERSAL SPIRITUAL DEMAND ACCOMPLISHED ON THE CROSS, MAKES IT MANDATORY FOR YOU TO SELECT THE YOKE YOU WILL LOVE TO CARRY. Whether it is the satanic yoke, or the Jesus ‘yoke’. THIS MEANS THAT AS LONG AS YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING, YOU MUST CARRY A YOKE!!! The satanic yoke has its lifestyle attached to it which includes careless life, disobedience, works of the flesh ……….. Galatians 5:19-21. The reward of this is deceitful /temporary success, afflictions , tribulations, satanic torments, sickness, calamities, short lived joy and fear. The ‘yoke’ of Jesus includes praying without ceasing, fasting, possessing faith that will move mountains, supporting the expansion of his kingdom on earth, having a heavenly hope and minding heavenly things……renouncing the works of the flesh, resisting the devil with all spiritual vigor available…….. Galatians 5: 22-23. The reward of Jesus ‘yoke’ are numerous also, first is the joy of salvation, healing as the bread of children of God, deliverance from sin and satan, financial and spiritual prosperity. Beloved, you cannot be in-between, AS LONG AS YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING,YOU ARE EITHER CARRYING THE YOKE OF CHRIST OR THE YOKE OF THE DEVIL….. NO ONE IS FREE EXCEPT THE OVERCOMERS…….Rev 2:7.I PRAY THAT YOU WILL OVERCOME IN JESUS NAME. After, some very serious spiritual program, some people will experience some relief, and they see this as having put the devil at abeyance throughout their lifetime. But the truth of the matter is that the devil will always be with us as long as this age runs. He has received his judgment and his time has to run out. Beloved, you need to understand that God is the ultimate deliverer, and deliverance and power is embedded in only our Lord Jesus Christ. I will present the picture of the governing hierarchy in the spirit to you as follows, illustrating this with property ownership allegory. Usually, in a property, there is an owner whether corporate or individual. The owner of a property has a lot of powers and could give terms and conditions to a prospective tenant that agrees to live in the property. In Corporate setting ,there will be a go-between the landlord and the tenant, which is usually estate agent or a trusted person: Now ON THE PLANET EARTH, Lord Almighty is the landlord of the house, while there is a caretaker who is the devil, and we are the tenants. However, the difference is that this caretaker was not willingly appointed, he is an impostor. However, to cushion the effect of what the impostor will do the tenant, the landlord gave the tenants the rules to escape the wrath of the caretaker, but this rules were embedded in the personality of his son. 1 John 3:8. And the son declared in John 10:14-16, the escape route from the impostor. The devil/Satan/impostor was not appointed by God to be the ‘prince of this world’ as Christ himself called him. He stole the appointment by deceiving the first Adam. AND HE WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE CARETAKER UNTIL THE SECOND ADAM’S (LORD JESUS) SECOND COMING. To be delivered, the afflicted person must first recognize his state as a sinner. Then he must come to terms with reality that his deliverance can only come through ONE source, and that the source is Jesus Christ. He is the way and truth John 14:6. The major hindrance to deliverance however is that the one that sponsors bondage also makes serious efforts to make sure that the people in bondage seldom know that they are in it. The bondage most of the time appear to be strong fortresses of truth. You can check Mark 4:12 and Isaiah 6:10 for details. Deliverance starts when the sufferer realizes that he is really in bondage, identifies the type of bondage, and seeks information to be released from such bondage from the right source. The release is very obtainable when John 15:7 is accepted as a reality. Every act of deliverance is engineered by faith as stated above, but prayer is the voice of faith, PRAYER IS THE ONLY WEAPON TO COMMUNICATE THE CRY OF DELIVERANCE TO THE DELIVERER. PRAYER IS WHAT MAKES THE HEAVEN TO ARISE FOR YOUR SAKE!!!!!!!!!! Beloved, God did not revoke the dominion he gave to man from beginning, and you can only exercise that dominion by prayer. Prayer is a business! It is a serious appointment with God. It is not what you do out of idleness and doubt. When you pray in the name of Jesus, you must belief that the highest power in the universe is at your disposal To be delivered, you need to be a member of God’s family because God is not under obligation to bless his enemies are people outside this family. Why don’t you come to his family by believing totally in your heart and confessing him as follows: Lord Jesus, I come to you now, because I believe you died for me and on the third day you rose that I might be justified. Save me from my sins and write my name in the book of life. Help me to live above sin as from today. Amen
