Jesus said that He was in the Father and the Father in Him, with means that they were one and from out of that unity the works of God flowed forth. For us to do the works of God and even greater than those which Jesus did, we need to believe in the prayer which Jesus prayed that we share in this same glory and relationship of oneness with God – that is the place that Jesus went to prepare for us....

We are inseparable from our words, which are powerful and an expression of who we are. Our words are authoritative and powerful when combined with faith in a truth in God’s word. The continuous repeating of the Word of God to ourselves is a way to renew our minds. We should speak out of the abundance of God’s word which we have stored up inside of us and thus be justified and impart life and heali...

Our righteousness is from Christ and is eternal and complete; it cannot be taken away from or added to. The Holy Spirit will continually convince you of your righteousness by giving you solid evidence thereof - which is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The salvation Jesus brought has everything to do with our life here on earth. Everything is right about you – healing, prosperity, blessing, peace...

The most successful times we experience in life are the times when we spend the most time in the presence of the Lord. Time spent with God and in His Word brings powerful wisdom, energy and ability to do what He gives us to do. In order to be a revived Church, we need to have hearts that consistently seek after God. We need the presence of God in our lives and homes. If we will lift up our gates,...

We are living in a time at which God is enabling and mobilizing the Church. God is calling all of us to fish for people. There is a huge harvest, but someone needs to bring it in. The world system is one or working and obtaining a reward. We, however, are part of a different system – a heavenly one. We have a God who anoints, blesses and empowers us before we go out to be a blessing and a manifest...

When we discern that it is time for the rain to come we need to visualise it and ask for it in prayer. Even as Adam had to maintain the Garden of Eden, we are instructed in the book of Proverbs to keep our hearts for out of it will flow the springs of life. By acknowledging the Spirit of God within us, we are rivers being sent by God into the dry and thirsty wilderness which is the world. We need...

For too long the Church has been unconscious. More harm is done through weak people (those who look on and do nothing) than through wicked people. We need an awakened generation who will make a difference in the world. The transformation of our hearts will bring reformation. The sleeping Church and has lost her influence in this world because of the spirit of Delilah who is after the hearts of the...

When we discern that it is time for the rain to come we need to visualise it and ask for it in prayer. We need to repent and have our minds renewed, transformed and aligned with what God wants to do through the Spirit, so that He can send times of refreshing, which is the presence of God. Accepting the invitation to look intently at Jesus will enable us to progressively see more of Him and experie...

I am a spirit, I have a soul and I live in a body. When you get born again, your spirit is born from God and does not sin. Most, if not all of our problems, however, come from our soul-area which is comprised of the mind, emotions and will. That is the part of man which is conformed to the world but needs to be transformed into the image of Jesus by the renewing of the mind. The end-goal and purpo...

The only proof that Jesus gave of being the Son of God, was that He was operating in the power of God. In Genesis we read that heaven (or the spiritual dimension) was created first by God. We were all first created in heaven and earth was created for us to manifest in. Whenever we believe, we are taken out of the earthly realm and put into the eternal or spirit realm. God is looking for people who...

From the time of after the birth, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus there was a 40-year period (a generation) – called the patience of Christ during which God extended the time for the Jews to repent which comes up to 70 A.D. when Jerusalem was destroyed. Paul talks about this 40-year time period when he is talking about the time when some will depart from the faith and give heed...

Water baptism is not just a reminder, symbolism, a visual of your salvation or a ceremony, but on the contrary, extremely powerful. When we believe and are baptized, we have died to our old life – it was destroyed. By having been planted into Christ’s death, we are also planted into His resurrection life. Christ died once and having been being resurrected, now lives for God – even so we do not hav...

Our identity does not really come from our skills or talents. Everything in our lives is determined by our perception of who God is. Exodus 20:7 can be directly translated from the Hebrew as “do not present the character of the Lord your God falsely”, so it means more than saying His Name wrong, applying it wrongly or just using it as a swear word. When God created man he placed a representation o...

We have the Holy Spirit in us and are anointed, appointed and sealed by Him. Jesus received the person of the Holy Spirit without limitation. When you are anointed with the Holy Spirit, it is with a Person, not just a power or a force. When the person of the Holy Spirit comes upon you, something changes. It is amazing that the person of the Holy Spirit can be encapsulated in oil called the anointi...

The image which you have of yourself will reflect in your life, determining your finances, health, relationships and the way you react to your circumstances. We need to get our image from the way in which God sees us from the Word instead of from life experiences - for instance, upbringing, poverty, health issues, crimes committed, etc. Failure to do that will result in a life of failure and fear...

God really wants us to know Him and has done everything in His power to make this possible to us, and He is continuously drawing us nearer to Him through worship, the Word and ministry. But, we also need to be still and know that He is God – invest in intimate times where there are only Him and you. Don’t let circumstances define God to you and change your perception of God’s goodness. To ‘know’ a...

God is a communicator and His primary method of speaking to us is through His Word. Secondly He speaks through the Spirit in the Word. In order to hear the voice of God successfully, we need to quieten everything going on in our minds, in other words go into your closet before God, physically or spiritually. We need to take time for intimacy with the Lord to hear his voice. God’s speaking could be...

The Spirit speaks to Sons whereas the Law speaks to servants. Jesus was the true caring, loving shepherd who came at the time of the latter rain, in other words the time of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Jesus came into the sheepfold in a legitimate manner, born of a woman, whereas the enemy did not. Jesus says that his sheep hear his voice. There is one sheepfold and one Shepherd, not Israel...

We are all Sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. We are in a loving family relationship with God. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of adoption, makes us what Jesus is. Being legal Sons of God by being in Christ, we also have legal rights. Anything less than what Christ has obtained for us on the cross, is an injustice. We are fully righteous in Christ in accordance to the righteousness which was r...

There are pitfalls in our relationship with God wherein we can move from relational to mechanical. We need to have a heart-relationship with God. An early warning sign that person’s connection with God has become compromised, is a callousness of heart when you are in His presence and your emotions are untouched. At all costs that connection must be kept alive, because that is your life-line, espec...

God is holy, righteous and true. The Law, or the Ten Commandments, was the embodiment of all these characteristics of God. Paul said to the Jews in Romans 3 that there was no value to them in just having the Law, since the requirement of the Law was to fulfill it. The heathen who were without the written law of God was also in unrighteousness because they did not observe the unwritten law of God w...

We are established in Christ through the Spirit. “In Christ” is a powerful legal and forensic term. Because we often do not understand the power of this, we try to establish our own righteousness. Once we are established in Christ by the Holy Spirit, He then anoints us and we become ‘christed’ or an anointed one. The Holy Spirit’s ministry is firstly TO us and then THROUGH us. He also seals everyt...

The point of the New Testament is the Holy Spirit. The Old Testament is full of prophecies about the coming of the Spirit and of the Shepherd, which was Jesus. When Jesus said “I am the good Shepherd” He was saying that the rain of the Spirit was coming and that blessings would fall all around – which means blessings to everyone. We should be constantly praying for this rain, because the Holy Spir...

The day of Pentecost was marked by wind and fire. It was, as on the day when the Law was given on Mount Sinai, a sign of the presence of angels. On that day angels were permanently assigned to the apostles. This day marked the end of the dispensation of the Law where the Spirit only occasionally came upon individuals as well as the beginning of the New Testament where the Spirit abides within, nev...
