Angels Are Listening You!


There are so many different ideas people have about angels, Some think that angels are little, chubby babies flying around holding a little toy disguised as a bow and arrow.
But the Bible describes angels as great, big warriors that are here to guide, protect and deliver us.
Some also think that angels are people who have died.
But the Bible makes a clear distinction between saints and angels. Angels are a different class of beings than humans.
What are angels?
Hebrews chapter 1 verse 14 tells us: "Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?"
Three important facts about angels are mentioned in this verse. Number one, angels are spirits, therefore they are not usually seen.
The second fact reveals that the duty of angels is to minister and serve humans. Humans do not serve angels, angels serve humans.
And the third truth about angels is that their ministry is limited primarily to those who are or will be saved.
They are not required to serve the unsaved; though, because of God's mercy to all, they do help nearly everyone.
ANGELS UNDER THE NEW COVENANT
Hebrews 8:6 says that we have a better covenant based on better promises than people had under the Old Covenant. This is true concerning the ministry of angels.
Under the Old Covenant, the saints did not have authority over the angels, therefore they had to wait on them for help.
Today, angels wait on us because now we can use the name of Jesus, which is a greater name than angels, to dispatch angels to do their work.
Prior to the cross, the scriptures taught that Jesus was "made a little lower than the angels." But the scriptures teach that now he is "crowned with glory and honor" so that angels submit to Him and His name (see Hebrews 2:9, 1 Peter 3:22 and Philippians 2:10).
1 Corinthians 6:3 says that we will judge angels.
The judge is always greater than those who are judged. The scriptures inform us that believers have authority to dispatch angels to minister on their behalf.
Have you been dispatching your angels?
Or have they been sitting idle waiting for you to put them to work?
LOOSING YOUR ANGELS
In Matthew 18:18, Jesus gave the Church the keys of the kingdom of heaven. He said, "Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
Most of us have heard this scripture used to "bind" the devil and demons.
And the Bible does tell us that we can "bind the strong man", and that a mighty angel will "bind the devil for a thousand years". The word "bind" is a term to describe our power to "tie up" Satan.
However, Jesus also said that we have the power to "loose". And what do we loose? Certainly, not Satan.
Then who?
Angels of course
A voice said, "Loose the four angels which are bound...And the four angels were loosed" (Revelation 9:14-15 KJV).
You can readily see that angels are meant to be loosed. And who has the power to loose angels? Jesus said that we do. We have the keys of the kingdom!
You might ask the question, "How do we loose angels?"
I think it would help us to answer this question by going to Psalm 103 and reading verse 20. It says, "Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the VOICE of his word." (KJV)
Notice that angels hearken--listen and act upon--the VOICE of God's Word.
We know that the Bible is God's Word.
But angels don't hearken just to God's Word, but they hearken to the voice of His Word.
Try this-
Take your Bible and place it next to your ear. Stop! Listen!
What do you hear?
NOTHING!
Why?
Because the Bible does not have a voice unless we give it a voice
In other words, angels act on God's Word that we speak out of our mouths. They listen to us speaking God's Word. And when we speak God's Word, angels rush to perform it in our lives.
Can you see how we have hindered angels in performing their duties for us?
We bind angels when we speak contrary to God's Word, and say things such as –
"Nothing ever works out for me."
"If I didn't have bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all."
"I'm so clumsy."
"I can't seem to get out of debt."
ANGELS LISTEN TO OUR WORDS
Jesus said, "Whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God" (Luke 12:8, KJV). Jesus declares to the angels what we declare.
When we confessed that Jesus was our Lord, Jesus confessed to the angels that He was our Lord. Angels are aware of what we confess here on earth. Jesus echo's our words to the angels, and depending on what we say, they bring to pass our words.
There's an interesting story in the Bible which illustrates this truth. You know the story. Jesus was tempted by the devil for forty days, and while being tempted Jesus did only one thing: He spoke the Word of God. He kept saying, "It is written...It is written...It is written." After Jesus kept quoting God's Word, the Bible says, "Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him" (Matthew 4:11).
Do you suppose the reason why the angels came to Jesus was because He kept speaking God's Word?
Angels hearken unto the voice of God's Word. Jesus gave voice to the Word, and angels came to minister to Him.
Angels will do the same for you if you will do what Jesus did--and that is speak God's Word!
MAKE GOD YOUR DWELLING
Psalm 91:9-12 says, "If you make the Most High your dwelling--even the Lord, who is my refuge--then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone"
God promises complete protection for the person who makes the Most High his dwelling.
The secret to tapping into the power of this Psalm is to make the Most High your dwelling.
That is the key. God promises protection, so long as you make the Most High your dwelling.
So how do you make God your dwelling?
The answer is at the beginning of this Psalm. It says, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I WILL SAY OF THE LORD, `He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'" You make the Most High your dwelling the same way that David did--by SAYING OF THE LORD that He is your dwelling!
Your confession that He is your refuge and fortress is what makes God become your refuge and fortress
And what does God do when you confess that He is your refuge and fortress?
He commands His angels to guard you in all your ways so that no harm befalls you nor any disaster overtakes you.
Angels work for you because you confess who God is to you and what He will do for you.
This is what Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did before they were thrown into the fiery furnace. They boldly declared, "The God we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O King!" They stood their ground in faith.
And what was the outcome?
God sent an angel to keep them from burning. The angel heard God's Word coming from the lips of these courageous saints-
FEAR GOD
There is one final scripture that I want to show you that will prove that angels are greatly affected by our words. It is Psalm 34:7: "The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them."
The angel of the Lord delivers those who fear God, not who fear tragedy.
And what does it mean to fear God?
Verse 11 and 12 begins by telling us, "Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days."
Angels definitely are involved in prolonging our lives and making our days good. But what is the fear of the Lord?
The next verse says that if you want many good days, then "keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies."
The fear of the Lord is manifested in restraining the tongue. If you fear God, then you will speak the truth.
And what is truth?
Jesus said, "Thy word is truth!" God's Word is the highest form of truth in the universe.
By speaking God's Word, you are keeping your tongue from evil and from speaking lies. And when you do, the angel of the Lord will encamp around you to deliver you in times of trouble. This angel will do this because you show the fear of the Lord by speaking His Word!
Now stand on your feet and speak the word of God, the promises of God for your life and for your family.
Amen!

You Are Called to be Committed

A man is made up of spirit, soul, and body.

Spirit is consists of our conscience and is conscious of God and can fellowship with God.

The soul is consists of the mind (intellect) emotions (feelings) and the will (freedom to choose).

The body is conscious of the physical world through the five physical senses.

WHEN YOU WERE NOT SAVED-

• You were dead in spirit

• Your conscience was burnt like with a hot iron

• Your understanding was darkened

• You were separated from the life of God

• You were under the influence and bondage of the world and Satan

• You were satisfying the desires of the flesh and mind
• You were under the penalty of death

JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR OUR SINS TO TAKE THE PENALTY OF DEATH FOR US.

Read Colossian 1:13-14,
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves,  in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins
AND NOW WHEN YOU ARE SAVED-

• You have a new spirit

• You are the temple of the holy spirit

• You can live a sin-less life

• Your conscience is cleansed

• You can walk in the newness of life

• You have eternal life

• You are child of God and He is your father

It means your spirit man which was dead now is alive and needs feeding and training.

Here comes the role of the church. The church means 'the called out ones.

The church is not a building but it consists of all those people who have given themselves unto God and have assembled for worship and fellowship.
            .




Read 1Peter 2:4-10

The church has two main aspects

1. The universal church

2. The local church

To understand the concept of the universal and the local church is something like our society and family. You are like your society but in your family you grow and nurtured. The local church is your family and the universal is your society.

Say – I am a member of a local Church and belong to the body of Christ

KNOW THE FUNCTION OF THE LOCAL CHURCH

1. LOCAL CHURCH IS THE PLACE FOR YOUR GROWTH

• It is extremely important not to exalt the universal church above the local church in our practical living, Read Matthew 18:15-20

• It is the local church where we are going to put our faith into practice, Read Ephesians 4:11-16

• It is the Local Church where you grow to maturity level, Read Romans 12:3-8

• It is the Local Church where your gifting will be recognized, Read Hebrews 13:17

• It is the Local Church where your spiritual parents are and you will be protected

2. IT DEMANDS YOUR COMMITTMENT

What does commitment mean- it means-to cleave to, to be attached to, to join closely or to stick to the side of another.

It means -

• You belong to a specific church family, Read Psalms 68:6

• Support the vision and direction of that family

• Be willing to come under the authority in that family, Read Hebrews 13:17

• Give your time and energy to that family

• Be committed to the gathering time of that family Hebrews 10:25

• Give financial support to that family

• Be a help to the member of that family it will make your family prosperous

• Bear the burden of each other in that family Galatians 6:2

How does your commitment cause you to grow under a local church?

You need to check yourself-

1. Are you FAT

• F- Faithful

• A- Available

• T- Teachable

Then you must know that you are growing each day, Read Acts 2:42

2. Be under the submission of

• God’s word and

• Those over you, Read Hebrews 13:7-9

Then-

Your commitment will produce responsibility to –

• Seek God’s calling and His will

• Acknowledge God’s ownership

• Reach out through giving

God is showing his body the need for being committed in these days. If you are not in specific place of commitment then you are in false commitment.

To say that you are committed to what God is doing in a general way and not identify with a local church in a specific way is to dwell carelessly and it could lead to deceptions.

For a child to do this in the natural is something - to say that he belongs to the great family of mankind but refuses to identify with a specific natural family where he can grow and nurtured, it would seem ridiculous.

Yet how many of God’s people desire to identify with the universal body of Christ but refuse to identify and commit themselves to a local assembly?

Why!

Say – Training is hard so they prefer to live in false commitment

May God help the body of Christ to understand the meaning of commitment so that their mind body and spirit comes under the perfect healing by the grace of God

If you recognize God has called you to be committed to this family and us as your parents, stand on your feet and confess your sins and have communion with us so that God can heal you mind, body and spirit.

Amen!

What is your Family!


The understanding of one’s backgrounds is very important. It makes or mars one’s spirituality. The things of the world are carnal or physical. It means these are temporary. But things of the spiritual are permanent and eternal.
Background of idolatry, witchcraft, bloodshed, curses, sexual immorality etc. holds a strong impact on one’s family. These are negative foundations of families. These have serious hold on a man. These are illegal things for man and gives legal ground to devil to hold one into the captivity.
Read Revelation 12:10
 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:“Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. 
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
These kinds of things give access to the devil and he refuses to release a person from his trap. From time to time, the enemy rides on these negative foundations to attack, oppress and make claims on families.
Several homes today are in cages and their destinies are held bound. Often times this evil captivity of peoples’ destinies are results of rivalries, competitions or inheritance.
Read Genesis 37:8
His brothers said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?” And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said.
Joseph and his brothers is a good example for understanding how family members can be jealous of their own brothers and sisters and hinder the destiny.
Today those who do not know Christ use different satanic ways to oppress or hold in captivity the family members. While others use evil forces to outdo their colleagues or classmates or neighbours etc.
I still remember once we went to pray for a person in the hospital. There was a young girl of 14 years next to his bed. They told us she became blind all of a sudden. We prayed for her and asked her when and how it happened. She told us that she had a party at her friend’s house since then she developed certain blur in her eyes and when she woke up was unable to see. We prayed for her and broke the spirit of jealousy and competition. After two days when we went to see that person, they told us she began to see the very next day and was discharged from the hospital.
Say - Wherever my destiny has been buried I command it to come to freedom right now in Jesus Name
The evil foundation is ungodly and people are blinded.
Read 2 Corinthians 4:4
 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Ungodly cultures, traditions, values, mindset, marital beliefs and ways of life of a tribe or family can prevent a person to reach to his God given destiny.
Think! and notice all these festival has involvement of some rituals!
Think! Is it as per the word of God!
Think! Why does it require all the family members to be present and participate in rituals!
Think!
It happens every year and every year the covenants with the other gods are renewed!
Why?
Simple, the spirit involved behind those worshiping demands and by that they get stronger in the hold from one generation to another.
 Read Psalms 78:58-64
They angered him with their high places; they aroused his jealousy with their idols. 
When God heard them, he was furious; he rejected Israel completely. He abandoned the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent he had set up among humans. He sent the ark of his might into captivity, his splendor into the hands of the enemy. He gave his people over to the sword; he was furious with his inheritance.  Fire consumed their young men, and their young women had no wedding songs; their priests were put to the sword, and their widows could not weep.
It is very obvious due to their practices they were brought into captivity, some died prematurely and some had great difficulty in their lives and some had difficulty in marriage or experienced delays or no peace in the family.
Idolatry of our forefathers always leaves behind curses, stagnancy, failure in marriages, profitless hand work pre-mature deaths etc.
Say- father’s house, release me now!
Even sexual immorality is deadly and it is a sin against one’s body, which makes its consequences transferable from one generation to another.
You need to ask God to destroy the sexual immorality in you and in your family in Jesus name.
Read Zechariah 3:1-5, 
Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. The LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?” Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.” Then I said, “Put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the LORD stood by.
A careful study of this reveals devil was standing near Joshua to stop him to be before God for he was not clean as a result of his sinful background. Joshua was a leader. It was important for him to be right before God, so that he could lead and help his people.
Are you a leader of a church or family or office?
It is important for you to stand right with God.
Do you understand?
Sometime you find people accuse you or say bad about you on the basis of your past and you feel hurt and you become discouraged.
Right!
Say- My past will not haunt me I have the righteous garment of blood of Jesus
What does it mean to you when you dream and see yourself in front of “altars, shrines, village square (chauraha), ancient family homes or having sex in the dream?
These are the results of sins not dealt yet and those covenants made by you or your fathers pull you back because your name is still written there.
Another thing you notice when each time you see such type of dreams your prayer life goes down. That is why you are up today, and tomorrow you are down spiritually, financially and health wise as well. Right!
What should we do now?
Go before God in repentance and aggressively deal with your foundations in warfare prayers. The door of breakthrough will open to you.
I pray that every spirit of rejection shall die in your life in Jesus name and you and your household shall be remembered before God in Jesus name.
If you do not deal with personal sins and the iniquities of your father’s house, it becomes your filthy garment, then how will you reach to your God given destiny
Take a look at your life when people are blindly following the spirit of festival and falling into the trap of devil
Let’s Pray
Father, I thank you for opening my eyes to these truths. I repent for every hidden generational sin of idolatry, sexual immorality and bloodshed in Jesus Name
Oh Lord, let the voice of the blood of Jesus silence every voice against me and my family in Jesus Name
Oh Lord for every filthy garments upon me, have mercy and remove them from me in Jesus Name
Father, give me appetite for holiness in Jesus Name
Oh Lord as your servant, deliver my fellowship or church from being empty in Jesus Name
The terrible evil foundation of my family will not terminate my life and destiny in Jesus Name
Out of your mercies Lord clothe me with new garment in Jesus Name
I receive courage to stand sanctified and pray in Jesus Name
I receive grace to meet the needs of people in Jesus Name
My generation shall not miss their blessings or be delayed because of their past in Jesus Name
Amen!

God desires for His children to live longer with satisfaction.
Read Psalms 91:16
"With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation".
But some people live in bondage, die early, remain sick, live in lack and do not come to their potential.
This is the big question of today!
Think!
God has spent his precious time to create man, and if the creation of the creator suffers or dies early, will it not be the waste of His resources.
Say - God wants us to live longer with victory
Sometimes, some people die all of a sudden at the time when they were needed the most
Think!
Children, young man, woman and middle aged person die, all of a sudden!
How can God waste his resources!
Say - It is a satanic onslaught against the mankind
Read John 10:10
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
say - The agenda of Satan is to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus came to give us life
Devil delights making man unhappy and wasting precious lives that God has worked on
My prayer - May the Lord cover your head at all times in Jesus Name
Some powerful Prayers-
Father I thank you in Jesus Name that my sins are forgiven, and I am filled with the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit please guide me to pray I ask you in Jesus Name. Amen
- Arrows of sudden destruction, death flying around my family, business, health and relation we are not your candidates. I send you back in Jesus Name!
I back Fire you in Jesus Name!
- My blood, hard work or sweat shall be poisonous in your mouth in Jesus Name
- My life and that of my family will not be wasted in Jesus Name
- By the power of Holy Ghost Fire I delete my name or names of every member of my family from your sudden destruction register in Jesus Name

- As per Psalms 140:7, my head receive a covering from sudden destruction or damage in Jesus Name
- Any destruction or death fired into my life to weaken my faith die by Holy Ghost fire in Jesus Name
- You agents of death assigned to waste my life or that of my family be arrested by Holy Ghost fire in Jesus Name
- By the benefit of blood of Jesus on the cross, let every death or destructive criminals living around me be exposed in Jesus Name
- Lord let your fire fall on every demonic altar raised for sudden destruction in my neighborhood, village or Nation in Jesus Name
- Lord, as per Psalms 79:11 arise and frustrate every appointment with sudden destruction or death altar over my life in Jesus Name
- Lord, as per Psalms 116:8 deliver my soul or that of my family from death or destruction or my eyes from tears or my feet from falling in Jesus Name
- Lord as per Psalms 140:1 deliver me from evil and violent man in Jesus Name
- Lord as per Psalms 140:8 nullify every prayers of sudden death or destruction against me or my family in Jesus Name
- You sudden death or destruction arrows in Jesus name I BACK FIRE!
STAND UP and Say these prayers very strongly with a fight in the spirit. At the end you will feel peace.
This will satisfy your soul and give you long life
Remember what Psalms 91:16 says, "With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation".
Amen

Building The Temple Of God


Why do we work?
Just to survive?
No!
We are called to be a blessing. This is why devil fights the teaching on giving so hard.
Devil doesn’t want us to be a blessing!
Meaning of blessing in simple words is making happy
How can you really make someone happy if you do not favor the person?
If God has no intention to prosper His people, favor his people, why would He bless them, why would He give them prosperity scriptures.
Say – It is a million Dollar question!
Let us first understand the coming of Jesus,
Read John 10:10
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
What was so wrong among us that Jesus had to come to destroy that?
Read Deuteronomy 28:47-48
Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the LORD will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.
The experience of curses, poverty is vivid. It says-
Hunger
Thirst
Nakedness and
Awful Poverty
This is why Jesus the son of God had to come.
Now let us see the description of the cross. Jesus was –
Hungry
Thirsty
Naked and
Lost Everything
To fulfill the promise for our prosperity Jesus had to die hungry, thirsty and naked as atonement for our poverty so in turn we become a blessing.
Oh what a privileged generation we are
Say – We are privileged generation
I can share 3 simple truths about blessings, which I have learnt through my walk with Christ
1. There is a purpose for us to be blessed
2. There is a promise of God for us to be blessed
3. The blessing is precondition
 Read Genesis 12:2
I will make you a great nation; I will bless you
And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.
God blessed Abraham for the nations. Through Abraham we are blessed.
God blesses us financially for the preaching of His kingdom. The purpose of blessing is to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. That is why He says bring your tithes to the store house, where there is food (spiritual food) for you
God is called El Shaddai, God of abundance. Jesus says I have come to give you life more abundantly. God has promised and He will bless His people.
Say – I am destined to be blessed
But dear friends you must know that blessing is precondition as well
God’s love is unconditional, Jesus died while we were sinners, He gave us salvation as a free gift but blessing is precondition
Say – Blessing is precondition
Read Haggai 1:6
You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough;
You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm;
And he who earns wages, Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.
What is God telling us here?
It tells us very clearly that people are working hard but still far from the favor of God
Why?
 Read Haggai 1:8-9
Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the LORD. “You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the LORD of hosts. “Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house”
There are two truths about prosperity
1. Hard Work
2. Generosity
Do not limit yourself for the kingdom of God; serve him with your tithes and offerings.
The Law of tithes initiates God to bless us
Read Malachi 3:10-12
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts,
If I will not open for you the windows of heaven. And pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it. “ And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,”
Says the LORD of hosts; And all nations will call you blessed, For you will be a delightful land,” Says the LORD of hosts.
The law of offering brings God into partnership with our business.
Read Proverb 11:24
“There is one who scatters, yet increases more; And there is one who withholds more than is right, But it leads to poverty.”  Proverb 11:24
Say – We can never out give God
Say – There are two truths about prosperity
1. Hard Work
2. Generosity
There is no way we can be victorious in our jobs and finances if we miss any of these truths.
Say – I am building God's temple
Say – I am following the principles of God.
Prayer- Father in Jesus name, we thank you for your word which teaches us to prosper and keep in perfect health. I ask the grace of God to rest upon me so that we can be humble, hard working, greedless and generous in giving.
Amen

Prepare Your Heart For Healing


Some people teach that God sends sickness to discipline His children, but this is not true. The nature of our God is all loving, good and compassionate. Everyone who is good cannot bear to see people suffer or in pain, then how much more it is with our Father God who gave us His only begotten son to die for our redemption.This is the good news of the gospel.
1. Our God’s heart is full of compassion for sick.
Read Mark 1:40-41
A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
Jesus was indignant.He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!”
2. Nature of our salvation is healing. 
It was promised in the Old Testament and is fulfilled in the New Testament.
Read 1 Peter 2:24
He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
3. Healing is for all
Read Matthew 4:23
Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
4. He has given us the authority over all sicknesses and disease
Read Matthew 10:1
Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.
Points to remember so that we receive healing without doubt
1.   If you have Jesus in your heart there is no need to beg for it simply receive it. It is your bread.
Read Mark 7:27
      First let the children eat all they want,” he told her, “for it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
      When the healing anointing comes, one can sense a deep sense of compassion in his spirit. The key to receive healing under the anointing is to relax, stop speaking in tongues and letting the anointing gently flow into you. You may feel a warm or burning sensation, peace or joy in your spirit.
God wants to heal everyone. 
Prayer- Father God in the name of Jesus, you alone are worthy , you alone are our healer, we thank you because you have done it at the cross. Your body was broken for our sins so that we can receive healing. Thank you Jesus we declare that by your stripes we were healed.
Amen

God's Perfect Will Is To Heal You

God gives us the law not to keep us from having fun. God knows what is the best way. Whenever a moral Or spiritual law is broken, our health is affected. This is because we have walked outside of the protective care of God.
What will you do?
Say-Know the truth and the truth will set me free
Satan directly or indirectly causes all sicknesses. It happens because we break the spiritual law.
Read proverbs 26:2
Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest.
Breaking of the laws has three realm
1. Spirit Realm
2. Soul Realm
3. Physical Realm
Why!
Because you are spirit live in the body and have soul for this reason if any of the realms get affected it causes sickness.
Say - I am soul body and spirit
1. Breaking Laws of the Spirit Realm- God is the supreme authority whenever we don't obey the word of God we become disobedient.
Bible has so many examples where disobeying the authority caused sickness and trouble
Read 2 King 5:27
Naaman’s leprosy will cling to you and to your descendants forever.” Then Gehazi went from Elisha’s presence and his skin was leprous—it had become as white as snow.
Bible has promise of long life through obedience
Read Exodus 20:12
Honor your father and your mother, so that you ay live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Say - I am obedient to the people who are in authority
2. Breaking laws of the Soul Realm- Watch out for the sins in emotion, We often become upset when our emotions are hurt and we give chance to the devil to enter in our lives.
Read Ephesians 4:25-27
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. “In your anger do not sin” Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.
Even your fearful attitude will lead you to have no confidence and ultimately your mind will doubt the word of God and it will bring confusion and mental trouble
3. Breaking the laws Physical Realm- God is concerned for our body because we are His Temple. He dwells in us. So it is important for us to give our body for the service of the Lord and be healthy.
Read Exodus 31:14-15
“‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death.
God is ready to heal your body because you are His temple. You are required to take care of your diet and life style so that you live your salvation in your body.
Prayer- Father in the name of Jesus we repent for breaking your laws, going on our own ways and depending in our own understanding. Today i repent and ask for your forgiveness. I declare i know the truth now. I will abide in the word of God and obey His commands. As it is written in proverbs 10:22, the blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it."
I thank you for forgiving me and blessing me in Jesus name I pray.
Amen

Stop Making Excuses

Stop making excuses. We tend to blame everything else but not ourselves.
Say - Stop Making Excuses
An unintentional sin is also a sin. A white lie is a lie after all, so what shall a man do?
Say - Repent then and turn to God
Read Acts 3:19
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,
What is the repentance?
It is to turn around, change the direction totally, to turn from your sinful ways
You might ask, "How do I know i have a need to repent or my ways are not good?"
Read Galatians 5:19-21
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
What will happen if I don't repent?
Read Luke 13:3
I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.
What will happen if I repent from my sins?
Read Luke 15:7, 10
I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
Word of God says, you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Jesus says I am the truth.
Do you want to know Him !
Are you ready to repent from you sins?
Say - I want to repent from my sins and receive the glory of God
The process is-
1. Repentance involves the mind - examine yourself thoroughly and honestly, ask holy spirit to convict you of your sins
2. Repentance involves the emotion
2 Corinthians 7:10
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
Conviction of Holy Spirit will prepare your heart to ask God to forgive you
3. Repentance involves the will – Choose to forgive and forget others and deal with bitterness immediately 
Tell God, "I am sorry for my sins, I want to come back to you, I forgive everyone those who have hurt me and ask you to forgive me and wash me with your precious blood.in Jesus name"
Right action will lead you to right feeling and your walk will be right before God
Read Colossians 2:13-15
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
Don’t delay in repenting from your mistakes because you are born to be blessed.
Say - I am born to be blessed
Be Blessed
Amen

Jesus came to set you Free

Word of God has a great deal to say about blessings and curses. If we remain ignorant it will be at our own cost and we will miss the total provision that God has made for us through the sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross. Blessings means -  favor, victory, success, productivity in every area, exaltation
Curses means - oppression, negative atmosphere, defeat, failure to reproduce, humiliation
How will you know if you are under curses?
There are mainly seven areas.
1 - Mental or emotional breakdown
2 - Repeated or chronic sickness, medically no diagnosis
3 - Repeated miscarriages, female related illness
4 - Marriage problems, separation etc.
5 - Financial insufficiency, jobless
6 - Accident prone
7 - Suicidal or unnatural deaths
You may ask -
- But why did these curses come upon me
- What did I do???
- Can someone tell me my mistakes???
Read Proverbs 26:2
"Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest."
Root cause of all curses is not obeying God's voice
1. Not obeying God's commands
Deuteronomy 28:15 

"However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you:"
2. Worshiping idol, false gods, or participating in occult practices
1 Samuel 15:23
"For rebellion is like the sin of divination,and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.Because you have rejected the word of the LORD,he has rejected you as king.”
3. Not respecting your parents
Ephesians 6:1-3
"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”
4. Illicit or unnatural sex
5. Injustice to the weak
6. Trust in man
Jeremiah 17:5
"This is what the LORD says:“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,who draws strength from mere fleshand whose heart turns away from the LORD."
7. Failure to fulfill promises 
Ecclesiastes 5:4-5
4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow. 5 It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it.
8. Being stingy towards God 
Malachi 3:8-10
8 “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’“In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
9. Spoken words said by people in authority.
10. Self-imposed curses.
11. Curses from people representing satan.
12. Soulish prayers, utterances & gossip
13. Generational curses 
Exodus 20:1-6
1 And God spoke all these words:2 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.3 “You shall have no other gods before[a] me.4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
The good news is Jesus has paid the price for you and me.
Galatians 3:13-14
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”[a] 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
How to be free from curses? 
1. Put your trust in the word 
1 John 3:8
The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.
2. Be obedient to God's word 
Deuteronomy 28:1-2
1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
3. Confess your and your parent's and forefather's sins. 
4. Forgive every person 
5. Renounce all contact with other gods. 
Deuteronomy 7:25-26
The images of their gods you are to burn in the fire. Do not covet the silver and gold on them, and do not take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it, for it is detestable to the LORD your God. 26 Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. Regard it as vile and utterly detest it, for it is set apart for destruction.
6. Release yourself in the name of Jesus
Matthew 18:18 
“Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
Now pray and be free as per Galatians 3:13-14
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. 
Amen

The Lord is saying, "Fear Not!"

Walking in fear as a child of God is a great disappointment to our father God. He has not given us the spirit of fear, but of love, power and sound mind.
Read 2 Timothy 1:7
"For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline."
God has given us everything. All it takes of us is to dominate and overcome.
Read 1 John 4:4
"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." And has equipped us for battle
Read Ephesians 2:6
"And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,"
As a child of God, God has given every power and authority to subdue the enemy. There is a need for you to discover your position in Christ.
You have to abide in Christ and exercise power and authority given to you. There is no way the devil (principalities and the powers of darkness) can touch you.
You need to know: -
1. Who you are in Christ
2. Where are you seated with Jesus.
Say - I am a child of God and seated in the heavenly  realm with Christ Jesus.
The Lord is saying 'Fear not!'
Fear is a weapon of the enemy.
Fear becomes a gate for the enemy to get access into our lives.
Fear is one of the weapons of witchcraft.
It brings confusion and no peace.
Read 2 Kings 9:22
'When Joram saw Jehu he asked, “Have you come in peace, Jehu?”
  “How can there be peace,” Jehu replied, “as long as all the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel abound?”'
Say - I will not open the door for fear to come in. I open the door of my heart for Jesus to come in.
Read Revelation 3:20
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."
Now Christ is in your heart and He is greater that the devil, who is in the world.
Say - The Lord is saying 'Fear Not!'
1. You are a child of God.
Read John 1:12
"Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—"
2. You are the apple of God's eyes.
Read Deuteronomy 32:10
"In a desert land he found him,
  in a barren and howling waste.
He shielded him and cared for him;
  he guarded him as the apple of his eye,"
3. You are an over-comer.
Read 1 John 4:4
"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."
4. God favors you.
Read Romans 8:31
"What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"
So what are you going to do?
Say - Pursue peace!
Say - The Lord is saying fear not!
You must know that the agenda of the devil is to make you sin. Thus sin becomes a gate.
Avoid physical confrontation.
The battle is not physical but spiritual.
Sin will not allow the peace of God to rule over you.
So what must you do?
1. Initiate reconciliation to the best of your ability.
2. Do not turn your anger to wrath.
3. Do not quarrel or argue.
4. Love your enemy. (The devil uses family members or people around you to go against you.
Say - Pursue peace!
Say - The Lord is saying fear not!
5. Be tolerant and have wisdom of God.
Read Job 20:4-5
“Surely you know how it has been from of old, ever since mankind was placed on the earth, that the mirth of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment."
6. Ask the grace of God to be upon you. Do not be tempted to react in the flesh. It is a spiritual fight.
7. Pray for everything it will paralyze the demonic activities.
8. Don't rush to speak unnecessarily.
Read Micah 7:5
Do not trust a neighbor; put no confidence in a friend. Even with the 
woman who lies in your embrace guard the words of your lips."
Father in the name of Jesus.
I release the fire of God against the spirit of fear. I believe Jesus
lives in me always.
Amen.

Allow God to Work

We have all been hurt at some point or another in our lives. we need to understand that coming to Jesus is only the beginning of our healing. It does not heal our wounds automatically. There is a process, it begins with forgiveness.
What is forgiveness?
It is an action of your choice.
Who will make it?
You for your life and I for my life
Read Matthew 18:35
"This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart."
And it is a command from your Lord!
Read Matthew 6:14
"For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."
Then why not abolish the root of the unforgiveness
Good thought!
What is the root of most hurts?
Insecurity and immaturity
Say - I am secure in Christ
Say - I am growing to the maturity
What will happen if you will not forgive?
Read Matthew 6:14
"For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you."
Enemy gets access to enter in our lives and destroys our homes, finances health and the other areas.
Read Ephesians 4:27
" and do not give the devil a foothold."
Our prayer will not reach unto God. 
Read Matthew 11:25
"At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children."
God will not accept our offering. 
Read Matthew 5:23
“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you,"
Demons will torture us.
Read Matthew 18:35
“This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
Faith is annulled and their is a lack of forgiveness which blocks our heart from believing in Him.
Love is annulled. 
A spouse may say - I don't love you and can look for false refuge in a love affair. 
The person who does not forgive will always suffer great loss and great pain will be afflicted upon that person. 
Lack of forgiveness causes bitterness and that will devour the person. 
Check - Where do you stand? 
Do you want to come under the mercy of God?
Do you want the love of God to flow in you? 
If you are ready;
Say - I make a choice to forgive others no matter how much they have troubled me! 
Say - I forgive them because I want the grace of God in my life.
Say - I forgive them because I want the peace of God in my life. 
Say - I forgive them because I want the healing of God in my life. 
Do you have a question on what you must do? 
Here is the answer -
1. Make a list of all the people that have hurt you. 
2. Repent, forgive and release them unto God. 
Say - Jesus I have nothing to do with the past hurt.
Read Ephesians 4:31. 
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
3. Confess or express your mistakes to each other if it is possible.
Read James 5:16
"Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective."
4. Renounce the spirit of resentment, bitterness, hate and unforgiveness. 
Now Pray - Lord I forgive __________ (the person) because of ____________(the reason why you are forgiving them).
Lord I present all these people to you and I surrender my life unto you. 
Lord I choose not to be bitter or angry anymore. 
Lord I ask the Holy Spirit to heal me of my hurt feelings.
In Jesus Name, 
Amen
We will all in one way or the other be hurt in our lives. What we must remember is to forgive and forget. 
If we follow this principle we will mature in the things of God.

Salvation Is A Process

When we receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior -
-we become a new creation
-we become a child of God
-we become more than a conqueror
-we became head not the tail
-we become citizen of heaven, it means when we die we will go directly to heaven.
But someone may ask a question if we are so blessed that we are even citizen of heaven then-
-why do we still struggle
-why do we have problems
-why are we in bondage
-why are we bitter
-why are we in lack
The reason is that our spirit has been born again, but our soul needs to be renewed and transformed.
Renewal of the mind and transformation takes time.
it means it is a process
Say - It is a process
In order to understand the process of transformation of mind we must know who we are!!
Man is a spirit with a soul and lives in a physical body. When we receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior our spirit becomes alive
Read John 3:3-6
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.
 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
When you are born again your spirit becomes alive and the spiritual nature of yours gives you the ability to communicate with God
Read Proverbs 20:27
The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all the inner depths of his heart.
What is the inner depths of his heart?
say- communion, inner voice and The conscience
1. Communion-through communion we develop intimacy with God, it means you can talk to Him and hear from Him
2. Inner Voice- Read Romans 8:14-16
For as many as are led by the spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the spirit of adoption by whom we cry "Abba Father" The spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
Inner voice gives us understanding of belonging of Father God.
3. The conscience - Read Romans 9:1
I tell the truth i am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit.
It allows us to distinguish between right and wrong.
When we are born again the work of Christ in our spirit is perfected, but our soul does not change.
Read Philippians 2:12
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed--not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence--continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,
so we are asked to be transformed by the renewal of our mind that we may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2)
Many people have wounds and hurt, and wrong desires, when they receive Jesus they are given a new heart but mind (soul) is still under bondage. The soul needs inner healing and deliverance from the unsolved issues of emotional hurts and wounds, sickness and pains.
what should we do?
1. Surrender unto the Lord
Read James 4:7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
2. Renounce
In order to get freedom you have to renounce-
-your previous involvement with different ritual practices, false religion or teachings
-your previous involvement with different groups which denies Jesus Christ, secret initiation, ceremonies or covenants
-your previous involvement with different activities which you did knowingly or unknowingly
-ask God to reveal those ungodly ties so that you can confess and separate yourself with those activities
Remember these activities and involvements gave the devil a foothold in your life now you have to reverse it by your confession
3. Put off your will
Ephesians 4:22-24
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
4. Get rid of
Ephesians 4:31
Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Pray-
I recognize that there is only one true and living God who exists as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
I recognize Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the Word who became in flesh and dwelt among us.
I believe that He  came to destroy the works of Satan
I believe that God has proven His love for me because when I was still a sinner, Christ died for me.
I believe that He delivered me from the domain of darkness and transferred me to His kingdom, and in Him I have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
I believe that I am now a child of God and that I am seated with Christ in the heavenlies.
I announce to Satan that Jesus is my Lord and I reject works of Satan in my life.
I believe that the truth will set me free, therefore, I stand against Satan's deception by taking every thought captive in obedience to Christ.
I renew my mind by the living Word of God in order that I may prove that the will of God is good, acceptable and perfect.
I renounce all selfish goals and choose the ultimate goal of  love.
I choose to obey the two greatest commandments, to love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul and mind, and to love my neighbor as myself
I believe that Jesus has all authority in heaven and on earth and that He is the head over all rulers and     authority.
I believe that Satan and his demons are subject to me in Christ since I am a member of Christ's body. Therefore, I obey the command to resist the devil and command him in the name of Christ to leave my presence.
I declare I am free because whom the son sets free is free indeed.
Amen
