It is Just a Battle of Words

It is a moment to stay focused, it is a moment to let go of all our desires and to put on Christ as our only desire and fulfilment. The enemy is attacking through desires, even the desires of good things but as many as are making Christ their only desire, they are being filled with the Lord as their satisfaction.

Yes, we have been looking at a very powerful gift called speaking in tongues. We established yesterday that it is a divine aid to the Christian. It is our help in this infirm flesh. We saw it explained in this chapter;

Romans 8:26-27
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Yes, when the Spirit intercedes for us, he prays the mind of God for us concerning everything, this is why we are told in the next verse;

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Observe the word “And” at the beginning of the verse, it is signifying a conjunction connecting the working of all things together for our good to the intercession of the Holy spirit. This means if we want all this to work for our good, praying in tongues is inevitable.

So now it is said the Spirit makes intercession for us with groanings that cannot be
be uttered, the word translated for uttered above is from the Greek word alalētos which means unspeakable ( Strong’s Concordance G215).

The words are unspeakable but there is a sound since to groan a sound must be made.

So to speak in tongues is to groan with unspeakable words. You want to say it but it just does not come out right. Now look at how the word so clearly describes tongues;

Isaiah 28:11-12
For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

Tongues are a sign to unbelievers “Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not” (1Cor. 14:22).

Now with this understanding, observe carefully the above verse, it says speaking in tongues is stammering. With stammering lips and another tongues will the Spirit speak through the believer as a sign to unbelievers that the promised Holy Spirit has arrived.

We all know how a stammerer tries to say words which are often not uttered or which are unspeakable. He tries to say it but it sounds like groaning. Especially in a person who is chronic stammerer.

Now see how Apostle Paul renders it in the new testament when discussing tongues.

1 Corinthians 14:21
In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.

He calls it other tongues and other lips. These lips are rather the stammerer’s lips.

But there is something we must observe in the Isaiah 28:11-12. It says “This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.”

Oh that you may receive the above revelation, it says speaking in tongues is the rest for the weary, it is the refreshing for the infirm but it is sadly ended “yet they would hear”

When people argue and reject speaking in tongues, they are only fulfilling prophecy. It is already said they will not hear. They are rejecting their rest and refreshing.

When you rest through speaking in tongues God works all things out for your good. God does more for you than you can ever imagine. Praying in tongues is the rest God has ordained, it is the waiting on God. Look at what we are told;

From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides you, who acts for those who wait for him. Isaiah 64:4 ESV

But is is said “yet they would not hear” But why won’t they? We will continue tomorrow…

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw someone who was sick, this person was attributing the sickness to strange things but I heard the Lord say to this person “it is just a battle of words “

I was led to;
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:11

And again;

2 Corinthians 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Then the Lord said “Do not go with the imaginations, reject every high thing, every thought that comes against your knowledge of what I have done for you.

Bring every thought to obey all I have accomplished for you.

It is just a battle of words. keep declaring the word of your victory as the blood has already procured your triumph.”

The Victory is Already Yours

Heaven has declared the victory, the push is on. The victory is appearing, even though it is tough, his coming forth is as certain as the morning. As we are looking to him – he is appearing more and more glorious in our lives.

There is such a thing as speaking in tongues in scripture that if understood will keep a lot of us fresh and filled with supernatural power. I understand that many are tongue talking Christians and many have not accepted this precious gift yet because of they have not fully understood its impact.

And some Christians speak in tongues but they do not fully understand why it is necessary and the spiritual effect of what they are doing. In a few writings we will get the treasure out and see if its needed, if its an option or if its something you get to put your shoes on and get it rocking in your life.

Now, I understand that a lot of people go with church doctrines to a level where they never allow the word of God get in the way of what they believe or have been taught by a church doctrine, but the word of God is a more sure word of prophecy. Let every man be a liar and let only God be true.

An intelligent Christian, a noble and honourable Christian when he hears the word preached does something prestigious, he does not rush into condemnation and argument but he goes back to confirm from God’s word if what he heard was true;

Acts 17:11
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

This is a blue print to knowing if what you hear is right or wrong.
Now, God has blessed us with a unique gift called speaking in tongues, this is a divine aid to our natural infirmities. Speaking in tongues is not an option, it is rather pride not to speak in tongues. When we pray in tongues our Spirit prays;

1 Corinthians 14:14
For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

It is a spiritual language that makes no sense to our natural senses. Paul correctly says when I pray in this unknown tongue, my spirit is communicating with God but my understanding is unfruitful. I do not know what I am saying. We will come to that later but when we pray in tongues our spirit which is one and same Holy Ghost prays. Why does He do that? Why does the Spirit need to pra for me?

Romans 8:26-27
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Observe carefully the first sentence ” Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities “. This is saying that every Christian is infirm. The Greek word translated above for infirmities is the word astheneia which means feebleness (of body or mind); malady; moral frailty (Strong’s Concordance G769)

Disagreeing with praying with the Spirit is outright spiritual arrogance against God and a denial that you are not feeble, your body and mind are sound without the help of the Holy Spirit. That you have no moral frailty, you are perfect needing no help from the promised Holy Spirit to communicate efficiently with the Lord.

But in the above verse we have infirmities and so we do not know what we should pray for as we ought to pray. We may know how to pray but what matters to God is what to pray for. It is not just the sending of words to heaven but what needs to be received in heaven at a particular time.

Now this feebleness is this, we are in one place at a time, we do not know what is happening even behind our backs when we are facing forward. We have diverse areas of our lives and other matters that needs attention always; Family, business, ministry, health, Nation, weather, etc. All these have distinctive and individual requests before the Lord as each day comes with its troubles and only God understands his purpose for each one perfectly.

No one can claim that he or she understands the will of God concerning everything in our lives and beyond perfectly. Hence, when we pray with the Spirit, when we pray in tongues, we are humbling our selves before God and allowing his Spirit to pray with us, for the Spirit understands perfectly the will of God.

This is why you need praying in tongues if you want to leave the hit and miss prayer life. If you need results and not sound words which are often not the will of God for the moment, you get to start speaking in tongues when you are filled with the Holy Ghost.

Then there is something said above, the Spirit maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered “

But what are these groanings that cannot not be uttered? We will look at that tomorrow…

If you have not received the Holy Spirit yet, because this grace comes after the Holy Ghost has come upon you, read my word Holy Spirit Special on 30 June, 2020 to understand and receive him.

In an encounter with the Lord; I saw the Lord send a gift to a Christian, but I saw a deceiver trying to swindle this gift off the hands of this Christian.

But then I saw holy anger in the eyes and heart of this Christian as he turned in rage over and against the enemy in defence of what the Lord had given to him.

The the Spirit led me to:

John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

And again;

Ephesians 6:11, 13
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” “Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

Then the Lord said; “Every good gift is from me, the father of light, with me there is no shadow of turning.

I have given you life, I have given you gifts, for I AM here that you may have a superabundant life.

Put on the amour of your God and defend all I have given to you – for what you see is a deception. The enemy comes to steal, kill and to destroy, therefore, take to your self the whole armour of your God and withstand in this evil day.

The Victory is already yours, the abundant life I have already given, only stand your ground and walk in the victory I have prepared for you.”

I AM Renewing Your Gift

They are many hearts that are receiving breakthroughs at this hour even though it is not like many thought, as many as are rising above the waters they are receiving the fresh breathe. The waters are still there, but there is a rising above the waters into the Joy of the Lord.

Yes, we are still looking at divine healing. We need this more than ever. We need to remind ourselves of these privileges and go forward in the practice of them if we must live in these evil days without fear.

Now there is something that has happened to the Christian that I will share with us today. The man in Christ is a different kind of creation entirely to the man in Adam. The man in Adam does not have life in him;

1 John 5:12
He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

Observe carefully the above words. He does not have life in him. There is no life in his spirit, soul, and body. When we talk of life we mean the God kind of life. Why?

1 Corinthians 15:45
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

The first Adam was made a living soul. Oh that you may see this. He was made an existing soul. He was just living but there is something different about the second Adam who is Christ.

We are told “The last Adam was made a quickening spirit” a life giving Spirit. They word used above for quickening is from the Greek word zōopoieō which means to vitalize (Strong’s Concordance G2227).

Where the first Adam was just a living soul, the last Adam was made a vitalizing Spirit. A life giving Spirit.

He doesn’t just exist, by nature he is made a life giving Spirit. Continually emanating life.

Now every Christian has this life giving Spirit, this vitalizing Spirit in his body. If you do not have him, you are not saved.

Romans 8:9
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

The Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ are same and one Spirit as you can see used above interchangeably.

Because he is a life giving Spirit, we are told in the eight chapter of the eleventh verse;

Romans 8:11
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Now this is it, EVERY CHRISTIAN HAS A SELF HEALING MECHANISM INSIDE HIS BODY. We do not need natural medicine to receive healing. We have a medicine in our bodies already.

we are no longer in Adam having a mere existence but now the life emanating Spirit of God is vitalizing our mortal bodies. Giving life to every fibre of our being. Every tissue, every cell is constantly receiving divine life of God. Glory to God!!!

But why have I not being experience it? We dealt with that yesterday. Philemon 1:6 tells us why. Many Christians are perishing for lack of knowledge. Now you know, keep looking at Jesus, take his state as your state and experience the God kind of Life

I have done a little exegesis on Romans 8: 11 in this word “Come Up Higher” 27 April 2020.

I HEARD THE LORD SAY “COME UP HIGHER”- by Pastor Jahfas Victor Ahua

See more

I highly recommend you read it.

In an encounter with the Lord, I heard “I AM renewing your gift”

I was led to;

Isaiah 40:29-31
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Then the Lord said; ” I AM revitalizing your gift. I AM giving power to the faint. I AM increasing your abilities.

As you wait upon your God you are being renewed to rise higher and to go faster in life with the power of your God.

When men faint you will still be standing, because the foundation of your strength is your God.”

This is The Hour of The Manifestation of The Son

There is a heat which is producing an intense pressure against the Joy the Lord has released. But the results have already being ordained. Many are going forward and reaping results despite the pressure.

Yes, we are still on our subject of divine healing, and we have discussed in our previous words that all Christians on the planet are already healed through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. the problem is that most believers have not recognized or discerned that the body and blood of Jesus took all our sicknesses and sins.

Many a times we hear, Believe! Believe! Have faith! Have faith! But often we do not know how to have faith or how to believe. Which is what I shared in my word “He Has Uniquely Anointed You”.

How do I discern? How do I exercise my faith to experience healing?

We are told clearly in Scripture;

1 John 4:17
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

Observe carefully the last part of the verse “as he is, so are we in this world” notice it does not say as we are so is he but as he is, so are we in this world. Not as he was but as he is presently so are we in this world.

That means if I want to know my condition, I must look to Jesus. He is the definition of my state and not my circumstances. My sicknesses cannot define me, my poverty cannot define me. If i want to know my state as he is, so am I in this world.

Not in the world to come but in this present word. He is the image of all that I am in God. He is my life, he is my reality and not how I feel. Not what I see with my physical eyes, not what I think outside of him but he is my state. As he is, so are we in this world. Now this is what you recognise and acknowledge or agree with.

Now when I am tempted with sickness and every other thing how do I exercise my faith?
We are clearly told;

2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Observe carefully, we behold the glorious image, and as we keep looking at that image we are changed into the same image by the power of the Spirit of God. This is why we must accept the image that as he is, so are we in this world.

With our hearts we keep looking at the glory of Jesus, we look at his health and proclaim it is ours. We look at his prosperity and say it is ours. We look at his joy and accept it is ours, as we keep doing this, we are changed into the same image.

The problem with many people is that they don’t agree to stay looking at the beauty. Under the old covenant David knew this and laid hold on it. You want divine health? Then you must look at the image daily and accept that it is yours. Accept with your heart and keep proclaiming.

A lot of people proclaim without taking the time to behold the image, and when they don’t see the results after some time, they say it is not real. I tell you the truth this is the way of faith. What I have just shared with you here is a spirituality key to unlocking the fullness of God in your life.

Look at what we are told in the book of James;
James 1:22
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

Wow, it says if you only hear and not do act You Are Deceiving Yourself. You are lying to yourself if you do not act on the word. If you do not accept the word you are lying to your own self.

Why?

James 1:23 – 24
For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

Oh how I wish you could get this. It says the word is our mirror, it tells us who we are and not our circumstances. It says “For he beholder himself” ah! The resurrected Jesus I see in scripture, that is me! I am beholding myself. I am looking at myself when I look at Jesus.

That image is my person – for As he is, so are we in this world. He is my reality. When I behold him, I am beholding myself. I am looking at myself just like I do when I am standing before a natural mirror.

Observe carefully the last part, it says if you will not accept what the word says you are, after looking, you are like a man who “goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.”

Notice it does not say he forgets what manner of man he is! No, what manner of man he was! For who he was is his reality, his real person. Who he saw in the word is his person, that is the true him.

Now look at the next verse,

James 1:25
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Observe the word “continueth therein” as you keep beholding you are changed into the same image. You keep the image at whatsoever cost. When you loose the image, you loose you. The real you is Christ. You must keep looking at him, accepting all he is and confessing him as your reality to see the manifestation – for as he is, so are we in this world.

We will continue tomorrow….

In encounter with the Lord, I saw an explosion of the miraculous, I saw as eyes glasses were being thrown off and I heard shouts of I can see! I can see!

Then the Spirit led me to:

Matthew 11:4-5
Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

Then the Lord said “I am here! This is the hour of the manifestation of the son.

In this season the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up and the gospel is preached to the poor.

These signs, miracles and wonders are the announcement of the arrival of the son of God in the restoration of Zion”

Your Days of Suffering are Over

The effectual door of glory is opened, this door has not been shut, it is still open. Despise the ups and down and let your eyes be fixed like a flint upon the glory. For many are already experiencing breakthroughs and having accelerated encounters as they have refused to give in to the heat.

Yes, we have been discussing on the subject of divine healing and I believe this is not optional for any Christian. You will surely need it some day. If you hear and practice, Jesus says your house will be built upon the rock, when the storm comes upon it, it will still be standing because you heard and kept practising. (Mathew 7:24 -25)

Before I started experiencing divine healing, I really went through a lot in the hands of the enemy. One time I had some balls swollen in my armpit. This stuff attacked my arm and kept on persisting. I went to a medical store and I was given some tablets. But the more I took them, the more my armpit kept swelling up with balls like it was going to rot.

Then I became angry, this stuff was so painful that sleeping at night was a problem. I had to make a choice either to go for the word or keep on hoping and watching my armpit rot as I was taking the tabs. I decided I would go for the word. I made up my mind that if the word won’t work, then I am prepared for the consequences. I threw away the tabs and went in search of life in the word.

I began meditating upon scriptures and confessing them. At first it looked like there was no improvement but the enemy saw that I was not going to back down. After some time the stuff began to dry off, I saw it day by day dry off and die and my armpit became completely healed. That’s almost five years ago and that was the last time I tasted a tablet.

I began to see that I am already healed. Yes, that was where we left off. Why are we still sick if Jesus took all our sicknesses on his body on the cross?

There is a powerful scripture in the word of God that explains it all. We are told in the letter to Philemon;

Philemon 1:6
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

Oh what a word! Every good thing is already in you in Christ. Health, Joy, peace, prosperity and many more.

Now how do you benefit from these good things already in you?

The verse says “That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging” Now they are three keys words here that we must examine carefully if we must understand how to get the good stuff in us manifesting.

*Communication
*Effectual
*Acknowledging

The word translated communication is from the Greek word koinōnia which means partnership,participation, intercourse benefaction ( Stong’s Concordance G2842). Take note of the word benefaction in the definition which means benefit or blessing.

The word translated above for Effectual is from the Greek word energēs where we get the English word energy from and it means to be active, to be operative ( Strong’s Concordance G1756). Take note of the word operative in the definition.

And the word translated above for Acknowledging is from the Greek word epignōsis meaning recognition, full discernment, acknowledgement( Strong’s Concordance G1922). Take note of the word full discernment and acknowledgement.

Now putting all together we can understand the verse this way – That the benefit of your faith may become activated or operative by full discernment and acknowledgement of every good thing in you in Christ.

This means we cannot enjoy the benefits of salvation, they cannot be operative in our lives until we begin to discern and acknowledge that we already have them, then they will become activated or operative in our lives. This is why many are sick and die. Lack of discernment is the cause.

We are told clearly that believers die for lack of discernment of the body that was given for their sicknesses;

1 Corinthians 11:29-30
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

Observe the statement ” not discerning the Lord’s body” lack of discernment of the Lord’s body which has been given for sicknesses and sin is the root of sicknesses and death in the lives of believers. It is said above “for this cause” for this reason, for the lack of discernment many are sick and die.

So we get the health that is already in us activated when we recognise or discern that we are already healed through the body of Christ and we begin to acknowledge what has already been done for us.

How do you discern? We will continue on this tomorrow… I have already shared some light through the Spirit on that in my word “You are uniquely anointed”

We will complement the rest tomorrow..

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw a Christian drinking cold water tea without sugar in a cup and I saw the Lord appear and give him another warm water cup of tea with sugar. I saw him drink and was refreshed. Then I heard the Lord say” Your days of suffering are over”

The Spirit led me to:

1 Corinthians 10:16
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

Then the Lord said; “Your days of suffering are over, I have placed in your hands a new cup. This is a cup of blessings, in this cup lies all that my blood and body has purchased for you.

From now on – you are drinking from the cup of my glory. The cup of health, prosperity, peace, Joy, happiness and safety .

The cup of lack is off and I have placed in your hands the cup of abundance.”

I AM Establishing This Chapter

Just like in the days of Zechariah when things were difficult but there were some that could hear the voice of the Lord amidst the chaos to be strong and work, even so, many hearts are rising in the strength of God, piercing through the darkness and experiencing the glory. This is the God moment. ( Zechariah 8:9)

In this season, I feel led by the Holy Ghost to share with us on the subject of divine healing.

We are going into times where things are getting tougher and tougher by the day. Medical science is achieving but less. If the solution be Christ, then it is eternal, if it be something else it is then but temporal.

I rather get a one time solution than get a quick fix which I will still need to be back again for another fix and if the quick fix won’t fix some of my problems, I may just as well accept to live with the issues pending when they finally destroy me.

Healing is something that has being provided for us through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. A lot of people think it is a difficult thing to be healed but that’s false. Every Christian on the planet has being healed just that many do not know and have detached it from the salvation experience.

Look at this,

Isaiah 33:24
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

The inhabitant of what? Zion if you will go back to the verse 20 of the chapter. It says the inhabitants of Zion, the church will not say I am sick because of the forgiveness of sins. This means forgiveness of sins came with healing.

The same blood and body that paid for our sins procured healing for us also. We received healing when we received Christ. There is no new thing to be done to receive healing, it all came when we received the forgiveness of sins.

Many people can believe that there sins are forgiven but it is often hard for many to believe that they are healed also. If you can believe that your sins are forgiven without having seen anything but just through your heart, then you can see with the same heart that same blood healed your body also.

The same way a lot of people find it difficult believing that they are righteous in Christ and that there is now no condemnation as long as they are in Christ, same way people find it hard accepting and relying on the truth that on the cross all our sorrows, sicknesses, and inequities he took.

Isaiah 53:4-5
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Read the above verses carefully, our sorrows, griefs and iniquities. All our sins and sicknesses he took upon himself and with his stripes we are healed.

The Hebrew word translated above for griefs is the word chŏlîy which means malady, anxiety, calamity (Strong’s Concordance H2483). Every calamity he took upon himself for us on the cross of calvary.

If he carried it, then I don’t have it, that is why it is said – the inhabitants shall not say – I am sick, for he carried all sicknesses on the cross.

A lot of things are said about the above scriptures, many say this is talking about sin alone. No, its about sickness and every evil work. Look at what is said when Jesus healed the sick;

Matthew 8:16-17
When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Very well explained here in this book of Mathew. He was a living manifestation of the prophecy of Isaiah even before his death. We must have to begin to see that healing and forgiveness of sins cannot be separated. There are times when Jesus used it interchangeably. Look at this instance;

Matthew 9:2
And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

Jesus sees a sick man and instead of saying to him be healed Arise and walk! He says your sins are forgiven you. Because healing is a by-product of the forgiveness of sins. This was strange to the religious people of his day as it is to many today. They called it blasphemy.

Matthew 9:3-5
And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

Observe carefully the answer of Jesus, he said which one is easier to say?
Which one do you prefer I say?
Thy sins be forgiven or arise and walk?

That means thy sins be forgiven thee also means arise and walk in the dictionary of Jesus, because they cannot be separated. One death, one burial, one resurrection bought all of them!

This is so clear you just have to chose not to believe.

If you can believe that your sins are forgiven just by scripture and the witness of the Spirit then you also have to believe that your body is also healed by scripture as he witnesses to you even now by this word through the Spirit. You don’t need an extra faith for healing, it is all locked up in the forgiveness of sins.

This is why The Apostle Peter made healing a thing of the past after the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus;

1 Peter 2:24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Observe the language, we were healed. We are not going to be healed. We were healed. Now a lot of us may ask, if I was healed, why am I still experiencing sickness?
We will talk on that tomorrow…

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw the Lord teaching a Christian Isaiah 60 and then I heard “I Am establishing this chapter upon the Church in this season.”

Please take some time to read, proclaim and expect Isaiah 60:1-22 to be established in your life.

Blessings in Christ,

I Have Promoted You to the Place of Fulfilling Your Destiny

A great light has come upon us! A great and effectual door is opened which is the reason for the resistance. If there ever has been a time to go forward, I tell you the truth now is the time. Its a season of breakthroughs and miracles. Please click on this word if you have not read and watched theses videos and be encouraged to arise no matter what you are seeing.

We have talked on righteousness for the past two days but a lot of people find it difficult even when clearly expounded to accept the free gift of righteousness because something in them still deceives them you can be righteous outside of Jesus and use Jesus as an icing on the cake. Some may not say it that way but at the core of what they do this is the explanation.

First we must understand what sin is. We are told what sin is in the first letter of John:

1 John 3:4
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Since sin is the breaking of the law, let me show us a little of what God has commanded and expects of us if we are to live by the law.

God commands us to do whatsoever we know is good. If we fail to do it then it is sin.

James 4:17
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

By the standard of the above word sin is not just doing what is wrong but failing to do what is good is also sin.
How many of us know it is good to daily evangelise Jesus to the world? How many of us are daily doing it?

We keep passing unbelievers by at street corners without saying a word but Jesus was always all about his fathers business.

How many of us know feeding the poor and catering for windows and orphans is good? Most of us our monthly budgets do not have any of these on the list. Its only me, Micky and Joey on the list.

Everything that we know is good we are commanded to always do or else we are sinning against a holy God

Are you walking in perfect faith? For there is a law that says whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Romans 14:23
And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

How many of us live in doubt daily and think we are pleasing God. How many of us are so fearful today about the temptation in the world. If your faith is not moving mountains, if there is fear around you, if you are not acting in faith in everything you do in your life then you are sinning against a righteous God.

Most people do not know that fear is sin, fear is one of the sins many will go to hell who live in it.

Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Ask yourself if Jesus were on the earth today will he wear a mask around for protection or will he by faith walk around freely healing others? But I thought you said you are righteous outside of Jesus.

There are 613 laws in the Bible and look what the word says;

James 2:10
For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Miss just one you are guilty of all. It is not a selection of the ones that appeal to your flesh and make you look good before a people. Just miss a little, just a little and you are off under the wrath of the law.

This is why God says everyone attempting the keeping of the law is cursed:

Galatians 3:10-11
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

Thank God for Jesus. Who became a curse for us that the curse of we not keeping the law might be on him and the blessing of Abraham come on us.

Galatians 3:13-14
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Anytime you intend to earn God’s blessings by what you do, you have left the place of faith. Faith and works are antagonistic. Faith and the law are contrary to each other. Where there is the keeping of the law there is no Jesus and where there is Jesus there no keeping of the law. The law is not of faith and whatsoever is not of faith is sin. Today a lot of people are offending the cross without knowing it.

Galatians 3:12
And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

The law was given to lead us to Christ. It was given to condemn us so we can accept the free gift of salvation by grace. Before Jesus came, we thought it was possible to be right with God through our works. So the law was given to deal with us. To humble us and lead us to the way out which is Jesus.

Galatians 3:24-25
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Hallelujah! We are under grace, we are now created righteous and the law is no longer for a righteous man. We are justified by faith in Jesus.

1 Timothy 1:9
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

In an encounter with the Lord; I saw a Christian and I saw that God had declared she is established on a new level but I saw the Lord asking her to live in forgiveness to those she has been promoted above, who had offended her before her promotion. The Lord said it was a preparation.

Coming out I was led to the story of Joseph and his brothers:

Genesis 50:20-21
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.

Then the Lord said, “It was a set up, It was a build up for the weight of the glory upon you. I had to teach you to walk in My love.

I allowed the evil to happen to you for your good. Now you carry a weight of my glory through experience to help save others.

Speak kindly to your offenders, forgive them, nourish them, comfort them – for through their envy, I have promoted you to the place of fulfilling your destiny.”

The Snare is Broken, and We are Escaped

This is moment to press on, I saw heat released by the enemy against those rising in the glory of God but I saw also that through perseverance many prevailed and were seeing results, manifesting God’s glory.

Yes righteousness is pivotal to reigning in God’s kingdom. When i first came to Christ, i never understood what righteousness was.

Boy i really suffered, coming from the background I was from, each day I left the house I would go out to the streets and the secular songs I sang would be played at street corners, I would be hearing the vulgar words and oh how suffered. I had thoughts that God should just give me a lot of money to sponsor those I thought were seemingly qualified.

There were times at night I would confess my sins and ask God to forgive even the ones I couldn’t remember and after that, I would ask him to now take my life as I sleep, so I won’t wake up to offend his law the next day.

My local assembly didn’t understand the doctrine of righteousness. I kept on burning my clothes, burning photos, destroying everything I got from my past life in other to be right with God until one day I got an encounter with the Lord through Galatians 3.

Today a lot of people see me at times as being ferocious about this subject but they have never understood what many of us went through trying to give God our all.

Today I understand that Jesus has taken the yoke and has given us righteousness as a gift.

Romans 5:17
For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Now we must understanding this gift of righteousness. If we say it is a gift, we must loose the ribbon, open the carton to see what is inside.

We are told what this gift of righteousness is in the first letter of Paul to the church at Corinth.

1 Corinthians 1:30-31
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

It says Jesus is made our wisdom and righteousness. That means my righteousness is a person. My righteousness is Christ. Jesus is made my righteousness. It is not a doing, it is a person. But look at something else;

2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

I am also made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. But if I am made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, How was I made?

Now we must understand that man is triune, man is a tripartite being. Man has three parts, the spirit, soul and body. The spirit is the real man, the soul is the place of the intellect, mind, will and emotions. It is a place of reason but it is not a personality as the spirit and body. The body is the house of the real you which is the spirit. So we have two personalities, the outer man and the inner man.

2 Corinthians 4:16
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

So once you are born again, the real you is the spirit. You are no longer of the flesh but spirit. The body is just a casing, a house, hence Jesus calls the born again Christian spirit.

John 3:6
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

We are born of the spirit and God calls us spirit. If we are spirits then how are we made?

Ephesians 4:24
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

The new man is the spirit of Christ. We have come out of the old man, the nature of Adam and have received a new nature, the nature of God. We are no longer of the flesh(Adam) but now a new man.

The Above verse says we are created after God, our spirits are created according to God, exactly like God in righteousness and true holiness. That which is born of Spirit is spirit. If I am spirit then it means I am created righteous and truly holy.

I am righteous by birth. I am righteous by creation. I am new creation, created righteous and truly holy. If there is one righteous man left on the earth I am him by creation.

See, when you are created a man you don’t go from being a man to a woman. As long as God is concerned you are a man forever. You may act like a woman which many people do but by nature you are a man forever.

Even so it is with us. We are created righteous, we sometimes act like we are not righteous and truly holy but by nature we are righteous and we will remain righteous and truly holy forever.

Look at what it says in the verses;

Hebrews 12:22-23
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

Observe the first statement, But ye are come unto mount Sion, it does not say you are coming or you shall come but ye are come or you have come. The powerful names of where you have come are mentioned and we are told among the names mentioned that we have come to the “Church of the first born” then it ends with ” to the spirits of Just men made perfect”

If you are part of the Church today then your spirit is made perfect. Your spirit is created perfect. We don’t have perfect – perfecter – perfectest!

By my new creation experience, I am born again righteous. Created righteous and truly holy. Created perfect needing no modifications. Today I satisfied with the work of Jesus. I am fully aware by the Spirit of God that this is my eternal state.

In encounter with the Lord; I saw a Christian escape the trap of the enemy. It was meant to totally destroy his destiny but God strengthened him and I saw him with wisdom escape.

Coming out the Spirit led me to these verses. Receive them as God’s to you:

Psalms 124:1-8
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say; If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us: Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us: Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul: Then the proud waters had gone over our soul. Blessed be the LORD, who hath not given us as a prey to their teeth. Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped. Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

I Am Dealing Wondrously With You This Season

Greater glory is manifesting upon us! The attempts on hearts is to shut us out of manifesting greater glory! Keep moving forward, greater results awaits you!

There is something about the righteousness of God. The truth is that one of the hardest things to do is to keep ourselves from condemnation and staying fully aware that we are righteous.

I have personally suffered from condemnation so much that if Not that God gave to me a revelation of righteousness I would have disqualified myself from the ministry. In my life I used to feel condemned about almost everything. Whether right or wrong.

The enemy is highly against our understanding of this subject to its fullness because it disarms his accusations and sets us up on the throne. Righteousness is what Jesus uses to rule;

Hebrews 1:8
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

A sceptre is a symbol of power and authority and in God’s kingdom it is made of righteousness. So ruling in the kingdom is established by righteousness. This is why if you are not fully established in the revelation of righteousness walking in your authority and power becomes difficult.

A lot of people still think righteousness can be earned, they think its observation of some laws. They think you are righteous by what you do, but it is on the contrary. They are 613 laws in the Bible and I am yet to find genuine person who can attempt keeping them.

Because of the importance of righteousness, Jesus had to come down and fulfil the law and give us righteousness as a gift so we can have the power and authority to reign in life.

Romans 5:17
For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Notice it says when we receive the irrevocable gift of righteousness we reign in life. Righteousness is a gift. It is not a work you do to earn a blessing from God. The sceptre of righteousness which is the authority and power of the kingdom is given to us as a gift.

Observe that the above verse does not say those who receive a balanced kind of grace but they which receive abundance of grace and THE gift of righteousness shall reign in life by Christ Jesus.

When we are reigning in the life of Jesus sickness is not reigning, poverty is not reigning but the abundant life of Jesus is reigning through the irrevocable gift of righteousness.

Why do I say it is irrevocable? We will continue tomorrow…

The truth is that many of us know about righteousness, we confess we are righteous but still feel condemned at every little mistake even when we do good. This is because there is a difference between knowledge and understanding. Understanding brings establishment. We will by the Holy Spirit try to understand how we are righteous and enjoy the fruits in our tomorrow’s discussion…

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw a Christian was stuff was taken, He was very worried and anxious. But suddenly I saw these things that were taken brought back to him with little or no efforts

Joel 2:25-26
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

Then the Lord said; “Do not be anxious, it is your hour of restoration. I am restoring the years of your suffering.

I am aware of all you go through but I say to you by my grace double blessings come to you.

I say no more shame – for you are being satisfied with my abundance. I am dealing wondrously with you this season.”

Lay Hold on Your Glorious Image

This is not the time to draw back! It is a birthing period! Even though it seems tough keep resting on God’s arm! A new day of glory is upon us!

I know I have kept us in suspense as it pertains to our discussions but we will continue tomorrow by God’s grace on something beautiful.

In an encounter with the LORD, I saw a Christian and I saw pressure from the enemy against his health! But I saw his eyes set upon the Lord, I saw that he kept on beholding and owning the image of Christ as his own and the pressure could not prevail upon him!.

Coming out I was led to:
2 Corinthians 3:18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Then the Lord said; “It is an exchange – the righteous for the unrighteous. I am your life, as you behold your God – lay hold on your glorious image for I am your reality.

Keep looking – for you are being changed into the same image from glory to glory by the power of My Spirit.”
