Pastor Jeffrey Walter

When man is left on his own, he calls what nourishes his selfish interests good. The Word of God that comes to man in the form of doctrine redefines what is good from God’s perspective. For the man’s rational mind to be reformed, he must intend the GOOD prescribed by God; making his life’s primary pursuit about this good. This choice is made against what he called good prior. The intermediate leve...

The Lord seeks to dwell in and influence all the levels of the mind of man for his regeneration. In what form does the Lord come? Which of the levels of the mind serves as the door on which the Lord knocks for entry? What are the circumstances that serve as indicators of the Lord’s coming and what should be our response? In this insightful series, “Ascension”, Pastor Jeffrey Walter reveals in deta...

We are often plagued by all manner of infirmities, weaknesses and despair. For God to heal and save us, He sends forth His Word to instruct us. However, we tend to grudgingly follow the instructions from the Word, not realising it is God’s weapons to incapacitate our captors. The Word that teaches us to deny ungodliness is not meant to inconvenience us, but to reveal the saving power of God in our...

Heb 4:1 KJV Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. What stops us from attaining unto the levels intended for us? What are the causes of our delayed spiritual progress? What hinders us from seeing the full realisation of the promises of God for us? What makes us not profit from the Word which comes to us? How can w...

Truth in the natural forms the foundation of spiritual truth. Foundations are the basis from which things develop. They are the anchors which provide support to what is built on them. In the same way, doctrine (i.e., truth in the natural or external truth) is an essential foundation to a man’s spirituality.  All men are called to be spiritual. This is initiated by the agency of doctrine. Doctrine...

There is medicine in God for our spiritual sicknesses. However, without man’s cooperation with God, he cannot be healed. To cooperate with God, a man must first deeply recognize and acknowledge that he is sick and in dire need of the Lord (the physician). Without a deep recognition of the destruction that sickness brings, and a strong desire to be healed, a man cannot be made whole. Any step taken...

When the human body falls out of alignment from the living force that quickens it, it becomes ill. In the same vein, when the natural mind of man is not yielded to God, it becomes infirmed – it becomes weak to perform its function. Unlike, the higher levels of the mind which are closed when left unoccupied by the Divine influx, the natural mind gets corrupted by hell’s influx. When hell takes over...

Mankind is created as an intelligent body, because every aspect (soul, spirit and body) of the man is meant to be a vessel of God. The soul is the innermost part which connects the man directly to God to keep him made while the spirit is the conscious part of him. He is not meant to be a lifeless body, but an intelligent body (an occupation of God). He is made an intelligent body by the supply of...

Many are called but few are chosen. If the Lord’s invitation to partake of the Divine verities is to all, why do only few end up partaking of it? It is an invitation to an already prepared feast, a feast of fat things; to dine with the Lord; to partake of the Spirit; to partake of the Divine nature i.e., share in His strengths; to partake of an ever-abiding inheritance. What stops us from partakin...

The decision to follow the Word of God hinges on freewill (i.e., the ability to choose either good or evil in every situation). Freewill is given in equal measure, as a gift from the Lord to all men. The more one yields himself by choice to evil, the more he subjects himself to the power of hell and its influence. Depending on the extent to which a man has yielded himself to hell, he is deceived i...

The Lord throws us an invitation to come and touch Him in the spirit. Yet, the one who begins this journey encounters contrary winds which come to stop him/her from going all out. In many cases, the contrary winds highlight our weaknesses to convince us that we are incapable of becoming what has been promised us in the Word. We end up doubting the endless possibilities reserved in the Lord for us...

Our contact with knowledge in the external is the call of the Lord onto internal knowledge; a call to know Him in the spirit. As we apply ourselves to the Word of God, we ought to look for this spiritual perception, because it is that which saves. However, as we apply ourselves to this journey, we will be fought. Strong reasonings will come against us; the reality of losing our happiness will glar...

One's spiritual path must not be determined by any man, but God. It is an agenda which is borne out of the individual's encounter with the Lord in spirit. The sin we often trivialize is that, the less we see people conform to what the Lord has shown us, the more we align ourselves back to the status-quo — we give up on what we could become in the Lord. This is hell's trap to prevent us...

In our bid to have a spiritual encounter with the Lord — to have contact with eternal life — we often overlook the ultimate thing that will deliver to us the promise. When we seem to be applying ourselves to the word of God, but are unable to touch the promise, it means we lack something in our application. What we lack is often elusive; disguising itself as trivial. Thus, in our strive, we must k...

God's grace is for Ministry. Its purpose is for accomplishing that which the Lord seeks in the lives of people. When what God seeks to wrought in the lives of the people through grace is established, His glory is seen i.e. His truth is manifested. Prior to this, the logistics for receiving grace must be laid; for without logistics (preparation) there is no impartation. In this series, "Th...

God desires to be joined together as one with man. In order for this to be made a reality, man must first seek the Lord by laboring to overcome evil. The man who strives lawfully in overcoming enters rest from his labors, which is the peace of God. In that state, the evil he has overcome is inconsequential. In that state, there is no condemnation and the man can access grace. This is the first ind...

God is spirit. Thus, every blessing from him can be accessed only in the spirit. Hence, a man's state (carnal/spiritual) determines whether or not he can receive from the Lord. Consequently, it is apparent that the Lord is hidden from the carnal man and is revealed to the spiritual man. For the man to find the Lord in His secret place, where grace is accessed, he must migrate from the natural...

God's love is infinite, immeasurable and incomprehensible by the natural mind. It is demonstrated in the constant willingness of the Lord to help man. A man must necessarily believe this in order to access grace — the divine influence in the life of a person. The only way a man can believe this is by obeying God, while recognising that he does not motivate God by his obedience. There is grace...

Though we all are confronted with the evil of “selfishness” and “love for the world”, our battles are different. The differences are as a result of the different evil tendencies we inherit from our lineage. These evil tendencies come with associated evil spirits which cause repeated cycles of anomalous occurrences in our lives. These occurrences usually pose as harmless, even sometimes as an advan...

Spiritual things always approximate themselves in the material realm, even in the physical body. The kind of life people appropriates for themselves in the soul bears influence on the body with time. These traits or tendencies are passed on to the next generation. Everyone is therefore born with acquired evil tendencies based on their genealogy. These evil tendencies are backed by strong demonic f...

Many faithless men profess that they have faith. Faith is not mental assent. Neither is it a metaphorical concept or abstract belief which requires constant repetition in order to make the belief a reality. Evils trap a man and limit him to the material realm. One cannot look up to heaven to perceive anything beyond the material realm when his head is buried in evil. Faith is the Realm of consciou...

The Lord promises to reveal Himself to those who keep His commandments. This is because the keeping of the commandments allows for the barrier to be removed - so that we can contact the Spirit of truth. The perception of the Lord we contact in the spirit ought to descend to the lowest part of our being, i.e., our most external parts. The Lord does this by employing our imagination. How do we prese...

For us to make contact with spiritual truth, our inheritance, we need to break the spiritual barriers by shunning the evils of our hearts. This spiritual awareness of truth we perceive in the most holy place is expressed through our spiritual body. Yet, our spiritual body is masked by our earthly body as long as we are on this earth. Therefore, we are not easily aware of the activity of our spirit...

We have not been called to acquire natural knowledge of the truth, but a spiritual revelation of the truth (an encounter with the Lord in the holy of holies). It is this spiritual knowledge that rules us and delivers us from the attacks of the enemy. This is what the spiritual barriers keep us from participating in. To break through the barriers to lay hold of the riches of His glory, God institut...

The truth that rules a person is not the truth in the memory but the one in his/her internals(spirit). The truth in the internals is what agrees with the affections of the heart of a person. Therefore, for a person to contact the Divine truth, which grants man’s access to the untold riches in God, his/her heart must agree with it. We may have read or heard several times of the great promises and a...
