Applying Math To The Word For Divine Healing

Applying Math To The Word For Divine Healing

When some preach the Word, faith 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 by hearing.

When some preach the Word, faith 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 by hearing.

If what you are hearing causes faith to leave, get up and leave that place and go into the Word of God on your own.

So then faith comes by 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝. - Rom 10:17

Some say that it should be the word of 'Christ'. Well, it depends on your translation. In the Greek, some use Strong's G5547 (Christ) while some use Strong's G2316 (God). To me, it doesn't matter, since Christ is the Word of God made flesh (Jn 1:14) and He is God (Jn 1:1). As you long as you know how to interpret the New Covenant, it won't make a difference.

Now faith is the 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 of things hoped for, the 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 of things not seen. - Heb 11:1

The word 'substance' is like a title deed to a promise. Since we are talking about divine healing, the 'substance' is 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠. The word 'evidence' is the proof. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 is not meant to be seen.

Using Math, we substitute Rom 10:17 into Heb 11:1.

(Faith) aka (Hearing and hearing the Word of God) is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Using Math, we substitute God's promise into the above.

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠.

Hearing and hearing the Word of God is the substance (divine healing), the evidence of divine healing.

Since faith makes all things possible (Mk 9:23), using Math, 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝 makes all things possible.

Your divine healing does not rest in your sight/visual, nor your symptoms, nor your feelings, nor the manifestation of healing, nor the improvement or deterioration, nor the doctors' reports. 

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝. You keep reading, speaking, meditating, believing and acting upon the Word of God that says, i.e. "By His stripes, you are healed." 

The Word of God is the substance and the evidence of your divine healing!

2 Corinthians 5:7 - For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Using Math, we substitute everything into 2 Corinthians 5:7.

For we walk by (hearing and hearing the Word), not by sight. 

For we walk by the evidence, not by sight.

The evidence is the Word of God. For we walk by the Word of God, not by sight. Man lives by the Word of God (Matthew 4:4)

The Word of God is the 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 evidence of your divine healing. When you make the Word of God your only evidence, you will have it (Mk 11:24).

P.S: This applies to every area in the Kingdom, not just divine healing.

Remission of Sickness Part 2

Remission of Sickness Part 2

In the previous part, I shared about the biblical understanding on the remission of sins. And just as God has remitted your sins, 𝐇𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐭 (Azazel) 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲. It is entirely removed and it shall not return like what the doctors claim. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬!

In the past, after eating very spicy stuff, I would experience loose stools on the following day. It had been so normal that I was used to it. I wasn't really bothered by it, because I love spicy food, and I thought that the after-effect is normal. What you tolerate will dominate you. You can only dominate what you don't tolerate.

However, not long ago, I somehow spoke to my stomach, "In Jesus' name, you shall never have loose stools after eating spicy food again." 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭.

Recently, I ate really spicy Mala crawfish (the whole bowl on my own). On the next day, my stool was normal. I didn't even realise it. On subsequent times after eating very spicy stuff, my stools were still normal!

It wasn't until last morning that I realised that I was free from the effects of eating spicy food! So I pondered on the whole thing and felt the Spirit of God highlighting a word at the back of my mind, "𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧."

Then I realised the whole deal on the 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧! When God forgave our sins, He cast them into the depth of the sea (Micah 7:9). He remembers them NO MORE (Jer 31:34). Technically, 𝐇𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 intentionally. There is a song called, "The Sea Of Forgetfulness".

What God did for our sins, He did for our sicknesses (Isa 53; Ps 103). While His blood remitted our sins, His body removed our sicknesses.

When Jesus cried on the Cross, "It Is Finished!", God 'forgot' our sins, and because our sins are 'forgotten', our sicknesses (which is a form of death that came through sin, Rom 5:12) were also 'forgotten'.

Since there is no more consciousness of sins (which is evil conscience, Heb 10:2-3, 22) because our sins have been 'forgotten', 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬, because they have been 'forgotten'.

The principle of 'forgotten' lies in understanding remission. It is simple but not easy, because when you can see and feel your symptoms, you still need to choose to forget the sickness, because Jesus has already dealt with it by His stripes.

Just as how you believe that your sins are remitted, believe that your sicknesses are remitted.

Remission of Sickness Part 1

Remission of Sickness Part 1

In the medical term, when a doctor says that your sickness is in remission, what he means is that the sickness cannot be cured, but is presently inactive (or under control), and it might possibly become active again.

However, if you are a believer, you should understand what true remission is.

The biblical understanding of the word ‘remission’ can be found in Luke 24:47 through the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross. In Greek, it is ‘aphesis’, which means ‘𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲’, ‘𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐭’.

This can be explained by what happened on Yom Kippur in Leviticus 16. Two goats are offered for the sins of the people. One goat is sacrificed as a sin offering to the Lord (16:9). We won’t go into the details as it’s not the purpose of this post. The other goat shall be sent away into the wilderness, bearing all the sins of the people (16:10, 21-22). This goat is known as the scapegoat for Azazel, which means “𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐥”.

When something is entirely removed, you no longer have it back. What happened on Yom Kippur is a foreshadow of the true substance that took place on the Cross 2000 years ago.

When God forgave our sins through Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross, 𝐇𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 (Col 2:14; Micah 7:19; Jer 31:34). Technically, 𝐇𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦. He remitted our sins (Heb 9:22; 10:18) aka ‘aphesis’ —- 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲, 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲!

Most people think that this is only related to sins. But I have shared many times in many posts that what Christ did for our sins, He did for our sicknesses and diseases (Read Isaiah 53, Ps 103, Matthew 8:16-17, etc again).

The same truth applies to our sicknesses just as it applies to our sins. Understanding this is a powerful key to receive wholeness for your body. God has not just remitted your sins, 𝐇𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲. It is entirely removed and it shall not return like what doctors claim. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬!

In the next part, I will share a recent personal healing testimony that led to this revelation, and how you can apply this simple principle for your healing.

Body As A Reasonable Act Of Worship Part 2

Body As A Reasonable Act Of Worship Part 2

In the previous part, we talked about how we can present our bodies holy to God, which includes walking in divine health as a reasonable (divine reasoning through faith) act of worship.

The question is "how can we walk in that?"

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. - Romans 12:2

We are not trying to find out the will of God. We are called to PROVE the will of God ----- it is good, acceptable and perfect. The will of God is found in the Word of God.

The verse in Romans 12:2 begins with 'And' as the conjunction, which means that the previous verse is vital. Once we realise that the Perfect Sacrifice (Gal 2:20) lives in us, we will know how NOT to conform to this world, because we are to conform to the image of Christ.

The word 'conform' is to 'identify with; to have an outward form by following the same pattern/model/mold.' The word uses passive reflexively, which demonstrates the passive nature of the action. Conforming to the world is not just when you are actively doing something to follow them. By saying and doing nothing, your mind is already conformed to their thinking.

There is no middle ground or passivity when it comes to mind renewal. Today, many are conforming to the world, without realising it. This is the key reason why we are not presenting our bodies in divine health.

The word 'transform' is 'to change into another form in keeping with inner reality.' It's the same word used for Jesus' body that was transfigured at Mt Transfiguration. Jesus' mind was in full agreement with heaven such that His body was glorious and in divine health. The inner reality lies in Romans 12:1, Gal 2:20. Once we know that we are created in the image of Christ, that identity must be where we live from.

To think, speak and live from that place is mind renewal. We cannot agree with the world and think that we can still get our mind renewed. The mind of Christ must think like the mind of Christ, in the context of this FB post, divine health. To think otherwise is NOT the mind of Christ.

If mind renewal precedes proving the will of God (that which is already shown in the Word), then, even if your body hasn't lined up with the Word in divine health, you must continue to think, speak and live from the mind of Christ. Your symptoms do not prove the Word. Your feelings do not prove the Word.

Mind renewal doesn't take place only after your symptoms are gone. It starts where you are. If we can think, speak and live from the mind of Christ regardless of our bodily conditions, our bodies will eventually line up with the Word.

The will of God is to be proved by mind renewal. An un-renewed mind cannot prove the will of God. This is why God's will isn't always done (Matt 6:10).

Once we have learnt to receive healing by mind renewal, we will know how to walk in health by the same token. The same truth that is applicable to one is applicable to all. This is the beauty of the Word, where there is no partiality or special anointed men of God.

Body As A Reasonable Act Of Worship Part 1

Body As A Reasonable Act Of Worship Part 1

Many of us have been taught that we should present our bodies a living sacrifice to God. It usually refers to the way we live our lives. While that is true, it covers more than that.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 a 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐲, acceptable to God, which is your 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞. - Rom 12:1

The word 'bodies' in Greek refers to 'physical body or the flesh'. The reason why God would accept our bodies as a living sacrifice is not because of our good performance and behaviours. For a sacrifice to be accepted in the OT, it has to be dead (and also without blemish).

You and I are imperfect on our own. But because of Gal 2:20, Christ, who is the Perfect Sacrifice on the Cross, now lives in and through us, making us a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.

The word 'holy' in Greek means 'sacred, sanctified, set apart, likeness of nature with the Lord'. Since the context is also about our physical bodies (flesh), and that the body (flesh) is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor 6:19), our bodies (flesh) are now able to be presented sanctified and in the likeness of God's nature (2 Peter 1:4).

In other words, we can walk in divine health with this sanctified body (flesh). The passage does not just cover the way we live using our bodies. It also includes the health of our bodies, for this is our 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞.

The word 'service' refers to divine worship.

The word 'reasonable' refers to 'logic working through the divine reasoning known through faith.' What is logical and reasonable to God might not be what you think is logical and reasonable.

Human reasoning is through logical thinking.

𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡.

To walk in divine health, it is acquired through faith. And this is how we present our bodies (flesh) to God as reasonable act of worship. Because you are most effective in serving Him when you are in divine health.

In the next part, we will find out HOW to walk in this.

Ministry In The Metaverse

Ministry In The Metaverse

With the evolving of technology and the new generation who are naturally inclined to it, the means of reaching the lost must change.

The Z generation is the most unchurched people group. However, data has shown that they would enter the world of metaverse anytime. The church in general has been known to be slow in creative thinking because we think 'conservative' instead of 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Everything that the world or the New Age uses is discarded by the church as demonic or dangerous.

We almost forgot that God is always the original Creator. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠.

In this whatever-de-mic, it has changed the way people think, work, live and meet. Physical buildings are no longer as relevant. I believe that metaverse will be an essential platform to reach the unreached, which includes the next generation.

Having said that, effective discipleship, IMHO, still needs to take place in natural, real life situations. Because discipleship is more caught, than taught. It is learnt by modeling.

Since a physical church service or physical church cellgroup meeting cannot truly impart discipleship, Metaverse will replace their purpose in time to come.

We can choose to wait and see, or we can choose to grow and go into the first wave to reach the next generation.

“Going online is one of the best ways to reach people in countries that have traditionally been closed to the gospel.” - Souza

“As online communities grow into equipping communities, they are finding a ready audience eager to have spiritual conversations.” - Jate Earhart

“We’d be hard-pressed to find a higher concentration of unchurched or dechurched people from the 18 to 35 demographic than we can find in the metaverse.” - D.J. Soto

Metaverse Church

The new thing that is going to take the next generation by storm. 

The old mindset is still about building buildings. But that mindset is going to lose a whole generation.

What about us in the Kingdom, but not of church institution? It’s time to think about how the remnants of the Kingdom around the world can gather. This will be crucial in our days.

You Are Not Alone

You Are Not Alone

Was reading Romans 11 last morning and was reminded of this passage.

“Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and 𝐈 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐦 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞.” But what is God's reply to him? “𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐤𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐚𝐚𝐥.” So too 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐭, 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞. - Romans 11:3-5

There is a small handful of believers in SG who might feel that they are alone. Elijah experienced that and went into depression. Until God strengthened him.

We can learn not to fall into depression by David's example ----- David strengthened himself in the Lord, when everyone and every situation was against him.

However, if you feel that you are alone and are unable to stand, take heart, for just as God told Elijah that He had reserved 7000 men, so too, at the present time, God reserved a remnant by His grace.

While the context of this passage is about Israel and her salvation, the principle applies to God's grace for the elect.

There are many pockets of individual standing alone today, of the Kingdom but not of any institution. I believe that it's important to get connected as a remnant so that we can stand strong collectively.

We will need one another in time to come when distress and other situations listed in Romans 8:35 arise.

We are already seeing this powerfully in non-believers in our present situation, as they gather to support one another due to distress. The resources and ideas are amazing. I'm privileged to see their love packed with action and risks, while we believers simply preach love but walk in separation and fear.

If we are still not awakened, it's time to question ourselves if we have been doing religion and living as zombies or living the faith.

Conflicting Reports

Conflicting Reports

There are always conflicting reports in the life of a believer.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐢𝐬. Alot of people say, "Jesus is my Lord." But deep on the inside, they don't believe His report. They rather believe in the doctors', the experts' and the reporters' report.

𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭? - Isa 53:1

The word 'report' in Hebrew is 'shemuah', which can be translated as 'news, report, message, rumour.'

The context of this passage covers Christ who bore our sins and sicknesses (Isa 53:4-5). His report includes, "𝐁𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐝."

Today, when confronted with reports, news and rumours, we actually believe them more than the report that the prophet Isaiah gave.

When doctors give a report, we forgot about our Master Physician's report.

When reporters give a report, we forgot about the Great Prophet's report.

When experts give a report, we forgot about our Chief Expert's report.

This truly reveals that deep in our heart, our Lord and Master are not Jesus. Because Lordship requires surrendering. You surrender to the Master's report, instead of other people's report.

Whether it is omicron, unicron, megathron, the report from the Alpha and the Omega covers all ------ it says, "By His stripes, you are healed."

Which report will you believe?

The cry of prophet Isaiah is still valid today, "𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭?"

The Mouth & The Heart

The Mouth & The Heart

There is something powerful about our words. There are so many Scriptures on that. Our confession can either be about our condition or our conclusion.

Your condition is not your conclusion. But if you can conclude your conclusion by your confession before you experience the change in your condition, your position will conclude your condition.

F.F. Bosworth said, 'Faith interprets the Word of God as the voice of God.'

Biblical confession is to agree with and speak what God says. God only says what He sees. If you want to see what He sees, then you have to say what He says. The Word of God is what God says. So if you confess the Word of God, you are saying what He says.

"God's Word in Christ's mouth is as powerful as God's Word is in your mouth." - John G Lake

The place of confession must come from the place of believing (Matt 12:34). If you believe, you will speak. However, if you don't believe yet, then speak until you believe.

Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐝. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐢𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐞." - Rom 10:9-11

Majority of today's church take this passage as merely for salvation of the spirit. That is only part of the Gospel. The word 'saved' in Greek is 'sozo', which includes your spirit, soul and body. God has never intended for your spirit to be saved only. That's not the FULL Gospel. Or rather... that's heretic in my opinion.

Your confession brings salvation of the spirit. By the same token, it brings salvation of the body aka divine healing, because Romans 10:9 applies to spirit, soul and body.

The problem lies with our confession and our believing. When things don't go the way it should be, do we change our confession? Heb 10:23 says that we should hold fast the confession without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

If God is faithful and changes not, then His voice changes not. His Word changes not. What He sees and what He says changes not. His conclusion changes not.

Therefore, by looking unto The Faithful One who changes not, we change NOT our confession despite our condition. We conclude our conclusion by holding fast to our confession. Standing on this position will conclude our condition, whether miraculously, suddenly or progressively.

Infusing Divine Life

Infusing Divine Life

The word 'gives' (or quickens) in Rom 8:11 in Greek means 'to infuse His divine life (zoe) into us'. The word studies note that 'His self-existent, all-powerful life overcomes all the deadly effects of sin.'

F.F. Bosworth said, "The Spirit quickens us according to our trust in God's Word."

In other words, when we follow Mark 11:24 ----- Faith -> Fact -> Feelings, the Spirit infuses His divine life from our spirit to our soul and body, crushing every deadly effect of sin, which includes every sickness and disease, including 10,000 kovic variants.

The keyword lies in 'trusting His Word'. Because the Word of God is the only evidence we need (Heb 11:1). When you own a title deed to a property, you don't have to see the physical property. Just seeing the title deed proves that you own the real deal. If you own NFT in real estate, the non-fungible digital tokens are the proof of your fractional property ownership, even if you don't see the property.

The Word of God is your title deed or NFT. It is the proof or the evidence that the divine life is in you. If we simply trust that, the Spirit will infuse that life into us, repelling every sickness so that we can walk in divine health.

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear Part 3

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear Part 3

In Part 2, we talked about the progression of the circumstances we are facing in today's world that is a tad likened to the first century.

Apostle Paul, who experienced all those, said "𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐮𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭?"

The believers in Rome were facing such distress that Paul entered into a dialectical and rhetorical dialogue with them in the letter. He knew how they felt and he addressed that. 

"As it is written, 'For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.'" - Rom 8:36

Those believers had lost the fighting spirit. They felt they were simply sheep meant to be slaughtered. 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐚 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐆 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐡 (planned) 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬. (Greek = narrow/confined place) due to the re-stre-et-ions. 

Sta-tis-tics show that only 4% (ag-ed 12 a-nd a-bove) are NOT veksinated. This includes those who are not believers and those who are not eli-gi-ble.

In this small handful of believers, many face distress and probably think that they are like sheep to be slaughtered.

BUT Paul said, "𝐍𝐨, in all these things we are 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐬 through Him who loved us."  Rom 8:37

This should be our RESPONSE because of His Love. The phrase 'more than conquerors' means '𝐚 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫-𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬'. We are not merely fighting as warriors. 𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐛𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞.

Come next year, the percentage of believers facing distress will increase because of what is to come. This includes those who have been veksinated. If you want to avoid distress, you can choose convenient Christianity. Otherwise, take heart and remember Romans 8:37.

Nailing It For Healing

Nailing It For Healing

My son and I were doing our routine housework cleaning all the windows at home. I was wiping halfway when I accidentally injured my ring finger.

It was painful. I tried to continue wiping but each time when I moved it, it was painful.

So I raised my voice at the pain and commanded it to get out. Then I said, “By Your stripes, I am healed!”

Without feeling any difference, I intentionally put more force on the finger and wiped even harder. Man, it was even more painful!

But I am a very intense person when it comes to healing. So I continued saying, “By Your stripes, I’m already healed.” And I continued to wipe harder with that finger, biting my teeth as I experienced the pain.

Then all of a sudden, the pain disappeared completely. Yay God!

This is not the first time that I did this and experienced instant healing. I had injured my shoulder before. After commanding the pain to go, I would immediately do push-ups to go against the pain intentionally.

This might sound crazy to some, but I know I am not alone in this. This muscle boy Michael also does the same approach.

Because Faith -> Fact -> Feeling. When you act on your faith because you believe that you are healed, the manifestation will come.

When the Word is more real to you than your feelings and sight, the Word will become reality to you.

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear Part 2

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear Part 2

Fear is real. So we need to decide the source of our feeding, whether we feed on "it is written" or "it is reported".

The Word says that 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 (1 Jn 4:8). You cannot cast out fear by casting out fear. You cannot command fear to leave you. You cannot do inner healing to cast out fear. God has ordained the way for fear to be cast out ----- 𝐛𝐲 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 (Rom 5:5; Eph 3:19).

The love of God overcomes all circumstances and these are listed in Romans 8.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, or 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬, or 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, or 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? - Romans 8:35

The word 'tribulation' focuses on '𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞' which constricts you. When the vi-r-u-s first broke out, it was a tribulation (affliction) that caused an internal pressure. People were fearful of contracting it. They were uncertain and thus, didn't dare to leave their dwelling.

Soon, it progressed to distress. The word 'distress' focuses on 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 due to circumstances. The Greek word is 'stenoxōría', whose root means '𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰, 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝.' With the re-stree-tions going on, one certainly experiences 'narrow, confined' aka distress.

Next, we see the word 'persecution'. The word literally means 'the hunt to bring someone down like an animal, 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 (𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡) 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬'. We have not yet progressed to this stage, but I suspect it coming.

Next, we see 'famine', which is 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝. This might also come.

There are further progressions if Matthew 24 is a double-fold prophecy (original context was fulfilled in AD 70s). No one is sure, but it's always good to be ready and vigilant.

Facing such progressions and circumstances, apostle Paul, who experienced all these, said "𝐖𝐡𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐮𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭?"

Only the love of Christ can cast out all fears during such progressions and circumstances. The best preparation to be ready and vigilant is 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐇𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄.

In the next part, we will see how we can see from His eyes, and what is a wrong response to the present situation.

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear Part 1

Perfect Love Casts Out Fear Part 1

I was pondering and praying about why majority accepted the narrative when it is plain clear that it's a lie from the pit of hell.

...that through death Jesus might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲. - Heb 2:14-15

The one who holds the power of death is the devil. The power of death induces the fear of death. Anyone who has fear of death will be subjected to every fear that leads to bondage.

Fear of death

Fear of sickness

Fear of losing freedom

Fear of losing loved ones

Fear of losing job

Fear of the unknown

The information released around the world is in cooperation with the devil. How do we know that? It induces fear. We must not say that we are practising wisdom, for such wisdom is from James 3:15. It is fear disguised as earthly wisdom.

We need to be pre-occupied with "it is written" than to be influenced by "it is reported." The decision we make reveals clearly if we are moved by "it is written" or "it is reported". Saying and preaching do not mean anything. What counts is the action.

It is thus important for us to know what kind of jurisdiction we hold in Christ. Since Christ has the jurisdiction over the one who holds the power of death, it means that you and I (in Him) have His jurisdiction over the power of death. In other words, we have His jurisdiction over the fear of death and all it's bondage/slavery (Heb 2:15).

This is simple, but not easy to walk/live out. This is why the Word doesn't say that dominion (jurisdiction) casts out fear. It says that 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 (1 Jn 4:8).

Our decision must be 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧, not fear-driven. When we feed on the information given from the world (in cooperation with the devil), fear is built up. When we feed on the information from the Word, love is built up.

How many believers spend more time reading "it is written", than reading "it is reported"? By a simple measure of that, we will know if their decision is love-driven or fear-driven.

The love of God overcomes all circumstances and these are listed in Romans 8.

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? - Romans 8:35

The context of this verse is with regards to the 'present sufferings' (Rom 8:18) among believers living on the inhabited earth aka the ancient Roman world (one world order). Emperor Nero was in power.

In the next part, we will see the progression of each circumstance in Rom 8:35 as though it is happening in our world today.

The Only Evidence

Healing Of The Body Is Simple

Healing Of The Body Is Simple

Healing of the body is as simple as healing of the soul. Since it is through hearing and believing in the Gospel that we receive salvation of our spirit, then by the same token of hearing and believing of the Gospel, we receive salvation of our body.

The problem lies with sight and feeling. When it comes to the salvation of the spirit, we cannot see nor feel. It is simply by faith. After we commit ourselves to God for salvation of our spirit, we do not wake up every day questioning, "God, am I saved? God, am I really saved?"

Why? Because we cannot see or feel it. When we cannot see or feel it, it becomes so simple and easy. We just trust Him. Period.

When it comes to the salvation of our body aka healing, there are usually sight and feeling involved. These complicate the issue. The way to appropriate healing is the SAME way to appropriate salvation of our spirit. It is simply by faith. But the hindrance lies with what we see and feel ----- the symptoms.

If we based the salvation of our spirit by faith (not sight nor feeling), then we must base the healing of our body by faith (not sight nor feeling aka symptoms).

In other words, the symptoms (whether there is improvement or not) are no longer the basis of your healing. You simply trust Him. Period. For just as Christ is the basis of your salvation (spirit), He is the basis of your healing (body).

When we are sure of our healing (body) just as we are sure of our salvation (spirit), we enter into that promise experientially.

It is simple, but not easy. So we have to cast away sight and feeling aka symptoms and keep looking unto Him.

The Integrity of Our Word

The Integrity of Our Word

Since God upholds the whole universe by the integrity of His Word (Heb 1:3) and that He cannot lie (Heb 6:18), every Word that proceeds from His mouth will not return void until it has accomplished His purpose (Isa 55:11).

Therefore, every promise that He has given to us is sure, certain and guaranteed. So we can take Him at His Word.

We can receive healing and wholeness for our bodies by trusting in His integrity aka taking Him at His Word.

However, this morning, He asked me a question, "Can I take you at your word?"

As far as I know, I have never broken any promise to my son. If I promise something, I will fulfill it. But God is not looking for this, He is looking at the integrity of my word.

I realised that if Christ lives in me (Gal 2:20), the same integrity will be expected for my words. And if God's integrity contains all His power (Heb 1:3; Isa 55:11), that means that 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝.

In other words, someone who has a lack of integrity or keeps lying (including telling white lies) might not think that it's a problem. Neither does he think that he's hurting anybody (by telling white lies), but because 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝, even when he tries to be serious when needed.

He may command and speak healing to people's lives but not see consistent results, because a renewed mind does not lie. Only a renewed mind can produce Christ-results (Rom 12:2) ------- which also means that 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬.

Someone can speak the word of God, but because of a lack of integrity in his words, the mind does not take the words he says in full certainty. It renders the word less effective in power because the power of the Word lies in integrity ----- the one who does not lie.

When Christ was walking on earth by the power of the Holy Spirit, everything He spoke came to pass. Every person He spoke healing to was healed. Because He upheld God's integrity, God upheld the Word from Christ's mouth.

Death and life lies in the power of the tongue. But we can decide how much power we want it to flow by the integrity of our words and our lives.

The Sequence Of Healing

Faith -> Fact -> Feeling: This is the sequence of healing

𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 -> 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭 -> 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠

𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐭 (Mk 11:24), for without works, faith is dead (Jm 2:26).

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐜𝐭, 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭. When you act on your faith, it becomes a fact to you.

The fact that you believe you are already healed is the answer you are looking for. You start thinking and doing what you would do when you are made whole. Since the righteous lives by faith, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭. Apart from that, it's sensuality and carnal, human mindset.

𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞. It will. It has to. The manifestation takes place. We expect it to be instant. But sometimes, it takes a while. Yet in every moment, we expect the instant to take place. Your expectation will determine the outcome. 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 (Eph 3:20).

The problem today is that we are trying to get healing in the wrong sequence. We are thinking Faith -> Feeling -> Fact. If feeling comes first, it is no longer faith. It is simply a kind of belief that is the same as what demons have (Jm 2:19).

We need to be so preoccupied with "it is written..." than to be occupied with "it is reported...".

"I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞.” - Smith Wigglesworth

Does God Cause All Things To Work For Our Good?

Does God Cause All Things To Work For Our Good?

A common quote by believers when someone is going through challenges will be Romans 8:28.

𝐀𝐧𝐝 we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. - Rom 8:28

It is assumed that God will automatically cause all things to work together for good for the believers. It sounds assuring and comforting, but it is not true. We need to read the Word in context.

The word 'And' tells us that there is an important passage (aka principle) before this verse.

Now in the same way the Spirit also 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬 our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. - Rom 8:26-27

The word 'helps' in the Greek means 'to take hold with at the side'. It is to 'cooperate with' or 'assist jointly to perform some task'. In other words, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧/𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫. He doesn't do it on your behalf. You do it WITH Him.

Hence, "the Spirit intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words..." does not mean that the Spirit prays for us automatically. It requires our partnership. Many charismatics teach that it's about praying in tongues. The word 'groanings' comes from the word 'moan, groan, sigh...' It may include tongues, but it is not limited to tongues.

As long as we commune with God (in various ways), it can be considered groaning (due to the pressure from the circumstances). 

When we partner with the Holy Spirit to pray, He knows what our heart is feeling/thinking/going through, yet He has the mind of Christ (Rom 8:27). Therefore, He will intercede for (with) us according to the mind of Christ aka the will of God aka the Word of God.

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧, God will cause all things to work together for our good.

The next time when someone is going through challenges, do not give them a blind assurance on Romans 8:28. Instead, pray for them. Also, encourage them to commune with Him to turn the situation around for their good.

P.S: If things don’t work together for our good, it’s not because God is not doing His job, but we fail to understand Romans 8:26-28.

The Word Must Be Fulfilled

The Word Must Be Fulfilled

He sent out His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction. - Ps 107:20

Since Jesus is the Word made flesh (Jn 1:14) and the Word cannot return to the Father void but it shall accomplish that which He purposed (Isa 55:11), then Jesus must heal and deliver all. For the Word was sent out to heal and to deliver.

During His earthly ministry, He always healed all and delivered all who came to Him, as part of the fulfillment of God's Word. If He would to heal some and not all, the Word of God would be broken, since Matt 8:16-17 also said that it was to fulfill Isaiah 53:4-5.

In Isaiah 53, Jesus bore the sins of all on the Cross. Yet Isaiah 53:4-5 also tells us that He bore the sicknesses and pain of all (cross reference Matt 8:16-17).

To bear the sins of all means that He has to bear the sicknesses and diseases of all (1 Peter 2:24). If He only heals some, then He has to only save some and not all.

The fulfillment of Isaiah 55:11, therefore, has to be the stripes (body) and the Cross (blood), because Jesus' earthly ministry could not fully accomplish the purpose of the Word sent (He only had 3 and a half years). By His stripes and the Cross, He could thus, forever, fulfill healing and deliverance in every man, saving (sozo-ing) His spirit, soul and body.

In a nutshell, healing is not just a part of God's blessings. It is CENTRAL to the entire Gospel, without which, the Gospel itself will break apart and the whole universe (and the world) will not be able to stand and hold together (Heb 1:3), if the integrity of His Word was compromised.

The Gospel that only delivers the soul from sin, but without healing the body, is heretic in nature. Because it is not the truth of God's Word and the purpose it was sent for.

The Gospel you preach is either the full Gospel or not the Gospel at all. There is no in between.

His Presence

His Presence

God's presence is always with us. It is His promise (Heb 13:5). You don't have to invite His presence, because He lives in you and me. He does not come and go. He is always present.

However, we are not always present with Him. We are not always with Him. We are not always present IN His presence. We can get so caught up with life itself, that we forget to dwell in His presence.

Abide in Me and I in you, and you will bear much fruit. - John 15:5 (paraphrased)

In His presence, you get fresh revelations of His love. For apart from His love, there is no way for His presence to dwell in you. When we  take time (even if it means a second to turn our attention to Him), we experience His manifest presence. It is almost immediate when we give Him our affection.

It is in His presence that you realise His willingness, mercy (compassion) and goodness. It is not enough to know that He is powerful and great (even pagans know that). Because in the Gospel, multitudes were astonished/amazed by Jesus' power and authority (because of His signs and wonders). 

BUT only the disciples saw His love and wrote about His love (i.e. John, Peter and Paul).

Knowing that He is powerful is for those who do not know Him. But knowing that He is love is for the intimate ones whom He called friends and brethren.

When you know He is love, you realise that He is always willing; He wills to; it's always His will. It is in meditating on His presence that you get this understanding of His love. And when you see His love, nothing is impossible (because you believe He wants to), since faith works through love.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus

Look full, in His wonderful face

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐦

In the light of His glory and grace

When the visible is overwhelmed by the invisible, the invisible will triumph over the visible. In His presence, we have a glimpse of the invisible and we realise that what we are experiencing is only a light momentary affliction. Therefore, we must carry in our bodies the death of Christ, so that the life of Christ can be manifested through our bodies (2 Cor 4).

The greatest privilege of a believer is to be made ONE with the One who spoke the world into existence. Enjoy His presence, because in His presence, there is fullness of joy.

Power & Love

Power: God can

Love: God will

Power: God is able

Love: God wants to

Power: God’s greatness

Love: God’s goodness

God’s love includes His mercy, compassion and will. He is willing to make us whole. It is His will to make us whole. He will make us whole.

Since (our) faith works through (His) love, faith must be in His love (His will).

The Word Is The Evidence

The Word Is The Evidence

Heb 11:1

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Rom 10:17). 

Since the Word of God is where faith is, then we can substitute Rom 10:17 into Heb 11:1.

The Word is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for. The Word is the EVIDENCE of things not seen.

The Word is sure, guaranteed and certain. It is the evidence. 

Look nowhere for evidence. The symptoms are not the evidence. The feelings are not the evidence. The visuals/sight are not the evidence. The reports are not the evidence. The doctors are not the evidence. The manifestations are not the evidence. 

The Word IS the evidence! If it is in the Word, it IS the evidence! It is sure, guaranteed and certain! That is our healing and health (Isa 53:4-5).

Conclusion

Righteousness Produces God-Quality Of Life

Righteousness Produces God-Quality Of Life

Righteousness is a gift of God and from God (2 Cor 5:21). By believing in Christ & His finished works, we are made right with God (Rom 3:22).

However, Romans 6 tells us that we have the power of choice. Though we are free from the power of sin, we can still choose to sin. Every sin, therefore, is a choice for a believer. It is never a bondage, and it is never an addiction IF you are a believer. If the Word is truth, then what you were taught and believed is a lie.

For just as you 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 presented your members as slaves to impurity and to 𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, so now present your members as slaves to 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. - Rom 6:19

Presenting our body IS a choice, because we have the power of choice as a believer. If we present it to lawlessness (sin), it will lead to more lawlessness (sin). It becomes easier to repeat the sin again and again. And it becomes easier to go deeper in that sin.

i.e. If you tell white lies often, you will eventually think it is okay. Soon you will get deeper in lying to others, because you are deceived by your own lawlessness.

But 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐢𝐧 and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐝, 𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞. - Rom 6:22

If we present our body to righteousness, it produces fruit. For Right Believing leads to Right Living (fruit). And right living leads to sanctification (mind renewal, Rom 12:2), which in turn, produces God-quality of life (eternal life) in the NOW-possession.

i.e. If we believe that we are made right with God, we can do Mark 16:17-18 and lay hands on the sick ----- that's right living. The more we do it, the more our mind will be renewed. Eventually, we experience God's healing in reality ------ eternal life in the NOW-possession.

The foundation of God-quality of life is Righteousness. For Righteousness leads to Sanctification (Mind-Renewal) that produces Eternal Life.

Be Normal Yet Powerful

Be Normal Yet Powerful

Every denomination has it's strengths and weaknesses. We thank God that He uses all not because they (and we) are good, but because He is good.

If He can use a donkey aka an ass to prophesy, I don't think there is anyone He cannot use, regardless of his/her spirituality. Therefore, if you place someone on the pedestal and think that he is anointed (charismatic understanding of anointed man of God), it's treading on idolatry. Because, I repeat... God can use a donkey aka an ass.

It's not his spirituality that brought him there. It's God's grace and His ability to use anyone.

Biblical understanding of anointing has nothing to do with the man. Neither has it to do with power. 𝐀𝐧𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩.

Power comes from the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:9), not anointing, as widely misunderstood by the charismatics. Since anointing is about the position of sonship (the Anointed One, Christ lives in you), anointing has to do with authority.

If you are a son of God, you have authority (exousia).

𝐀𝐧𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲; 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫. They are not the same. Since anointing is about sonship and authority, it is never about being flaky or having some kind of ecstatic feelings.

And she said, “The Philistines are upon you, Samson!” And he awoke from his sleep and said, “I will go out as at other times and shake myself free.” 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 that the Lord had left him. - Judges 16:20

The anointing in the Old Covenant was still about position. Samson was anointed into the position of a judge/deliverer. He did not know that the Lord left him (Old Covenant has no abiding Spirit), which means that whenever he acted as a judge, there was no flaky or whatever special feelings.

Today, we think that the anointing has to do with some kind of feelings when it has to do with position (authority). "Oh....The anointing is here! God is here!" Since when did the anointing (position) leave? And since when did God become non-omnipresent?

Be normal yet powerful, as an anointed son (position of authority) who has received power (Holy Spirit). And walk around normal like Jesus, instead of appearing being possessed by ghosts when you start ministering.

See What He Sees

Media as False Prophets

Media as False Prophets

While believers are slamming one another’s pulpit calling out false prophets, I believe that the devil is having a party behind with his demons laughing at our stupidity and our lack of unity.

Because while Christians are still thinking religion and it's inner circle, the devil is thinking about the whole world for his kingdom.

The word ‘false prophets’ in Mark 13:22 also means ‘one who specialises in the art of misimpression.’ Sounds familiar? Just take a look at the world media today.

How can the enemy deceive many at one go, including the elect (believers)? I don’t think it’s as simple as using the pulpit, because that will only deceive a small handful of believers and you know what? Non-believers are NOT there!

For him to deceive the world and many of the believers at one go, perhaps MEDIA is the system of false prophets that he’s using to create misimpression of what truth looks like.

Behold! We need to be spiritually discerned, lean on the Spirit of truth and go after the Good News way more than ever before.

Confess Your Sin Or Confess Your Righteousness

Confess Your Sin Or Confess Your Righteousness

The traditional belief is to confess your sin and ask for forgiveness. The modern belief is to confess your righteousness if you sin.

Which is correct? Both.

Which is wrong? Both.

Anything taken to the extreme without understanding truths & identity will not yield the right result. Right believing leads to right living.

Therefore, as 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 for all men, so 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 for all men. - Rom 5:18

Sin leads to condemnation, while Righteousness leads to justification and life ('zoe' - God-kind of life).

The traditional belief is stuck at sin. There is nothing wrong to confess your sin, as you would in any relationship. However, to camp there and to be introspective will lead to condemnation. The devil does not condemn you. Neither does God. Your own heart will do it (1 John 3:19-21). If there is condemnation in your heart, you won't have confidence towards God. And whatever you pray, it won't be done (Mark 11:24; James 1:6-7).

The modern belief is stuck at righteousness, which is not wrong technically. However, it can produce a mindset that undermines repentance, IF the person eventually ignores sin.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬. God calls a sin a sin. But He also calls you righteous in Christ. So we need to understand the difference between 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

You confess your condition by acknowledging your mistake/sin.

But you confess your position by acknowledging your identity/righteousness in Christ.

You don't ignore the former, but you don't stay there. Because it will lead to condemnation. You move forward to the latter. That is the true you in Christ. Without believing that you are justified, you have no confidence before God, thus you cannot live the 'zoe'-life of Christ.

Your position will eventually triumph your condition, if you believe it.

Should you confess your sin or confess your righteousness? The answer is "Yes".

The Experience Of Healing VS The Truth Of Healing

The Experience Of Healing VS The Truth Of Healing

After ministering many years in the area of divine healing, I saw more healing in the lives of non-believers than believers. That's my experience, but experience is not meant to be our teacher. 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 (Jn 16:13; 8:32).

I'm constantly evaluating on healing, and desiring to grow further and deeper in it. I know that there is always more to grow until I represent Christ accurately in this area ----- that means 100% every single time. Apart from that, I will not find any excuse for myself. I will keep going after it.

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞, now that 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐝, shall we be 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞. - Rom 5:10

The word 'saved' means 'sozo', which includes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wholeness. The word 'much' refers to 'greater quantity' and the word 'more' refers to 'better in comparative'. While we were non-believers, we were made right with God by His death.

Now that we are believers, it should be 'greater' and 'better' than when we were non-believers, when it comes to wholeness because we have the life of Christ aka His resurrection power.

For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. - Rom 6:5

In other words, 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐄𝐑 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬. This is truth, and truth must triumph over our experience.

While healing is meant to be 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 of the Gospel of the Kingdom for the 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 (Mark 16:17-18; Acts 1:8), healing (health) is meant to be a daily, continual life for the believers because we are plugged into His life.

If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 to your mortal bodies 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐝𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮. - Rom 8:11

It is supposed to be 'harder' to put life into someone without (aka a non-believer) than to put life into someone who already has (aka a believer).

I suspect that we who minister healing need to renew our mind MORE and EXPECT life to flow way easier into believers than non-believers despite our experiences.

Is Your Confession Above Your Profession?

Was speaking to a buyer halfway when the Holy Spirit spoke to me about his lower spine. Apparently, he had a slipped disc at that area. Ministered healing to him.

Your profession does not have to stop you from your confession of who Christ is in you and who you are in Him. 

If your profession is above your confession, you have merely incorporated Christ into your life.

Prophecies Between The Old & New

Prophecies Between The Old & New

If we don't understand how biblical prophecies work, we will wonder about them.

In the Old Covenant, the Spirit of God was upon the prophets. He did not abide IN them. So the prophecies were accurate because the prophets only needed to repeat what God said. God's words came from without. Period. And this was the reason why God was strict with the prophets (and would judge them) when it comes to the prophetic words.

In the New Covenant, the Spirit of God is now abiding IN us, because believers are born again. The charismatics like to h̵a̵v̵e̵ ̵d̵i̵f̵f̵e̵r̵e̵n̵t̵i̵a̵t̵e̵d̵ ̵m̵e̵a̵s̵u̵r̵e̵s̵ differentiate between 'upon' and 'in' by playing with words. When you understand the context of what Jesus and the epistles were saying, you will understand that there is only one ------ the Holy Spirit now abides IN you.

As a result, God's words now come from within. He speaks to us from the spirit. Prophecies now have to pass through a person's soul (mind, emotions and will) before it comes out of his body (mouth/tongue).

In other words, a person's soul WILL influence the original prophetic word from God. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 the person's personality, his theological view of God, the unrenewed areas of his mind, his imperfection, etc. 𝐁𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐢𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡. The prophetic word often becomes contaminated by the time it comes out of a modern-day prophet's mouth. 

This is why the New Covenant prophecies are not 100% accurate and God is gracious with that.

To be accurate in releasing prophetic word in the New Covenant, apart from hearing His voice, more importantly, we need to grow in having the right view of God, in mind renewal and in becoming like Christ in every aspect.

7 Steps To Protect Yourself & The People Around You From Kovic

7 Steps To Protect Yourself & The People Around You From Kovic

𝟏) 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐝 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬

To renew your mind with absolute truths, you have to choose the Word (Romans 12:2) over the media and above what human experts say.

If reading the media makes you fearful, shut it off. And keep yourself away from it.

𝟐) 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐎𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬

The more you focus on His faithfulness in the Word (Rom 10:17), the more you have faith. And faith in Him overcomes the world (1 John 5:4).

𝟑) 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐁𝐲 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞

You cannot cast out your own fear by casting out fear. You cast your fear by knowing His perfect love (1 John 4:18).

Soak in His love until His love saturates you. If He is for you, who can be against you?

𝟒) 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐦 & 𝐁𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐈𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲

Don't shift your stand. Don't budge. Be stubborn. It's called sanctified perseverance.

After you have done all, to stand (Eph 6:10-18).

Nothing can change you if nothing in you changes.

𝟓) 𝐃𝐨 𝐀 𝐏𝐄𝐓 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐎𝐮𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐲𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞

𝐏rayer: You are not praying to get protection from God. You already have it. You are praying yourself up (Jude 20) so that your protection protects the people around you because you are present. They get healed, protected and made whole because you are there, and they don't even know it.

𝐄xhortation: You exhort your soul and body by speaking from your spirit. What do you speak? You speak truths of who Christ is in you and who you are in Christ. You are ONE with Him. Therefore, you are untouchable (1 John 5:18).

𝐓rust: After you have prayed and exhorted yourself, you trust Him and stay in perfect peace (Isa 26:3).

𝟔) 𝐁𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝

Count it all joy that you are being restricted. You actually have more freedom than you realise. You CHOSE your freedom to stay unvekseenated, while many (not all) are simply being forced into it blindly.

I see it as freedom, because to live is Christ.

Having said that, be prepared to answer people who may really wonder about your decision. Give them the reason for the hope that you have (1 Peter 3:15). For your unwavering stand has actually convicted many without you realising it.

𝟕) 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐀𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞

If you are unvekseenated, know that you are not alone. Plenty of people all over the world are not vekseenated too. Forget about the naysayers. Don't allow those who do not understand you put more burden on you.

There are many battles in life. Choose the right one to fight. Because you are to run your own unique kingdom race.

Stay connected and be in touch with those who stand with you (Heb 10:25).

The Faith of God

The Faith of God

Some believe that disbelief and unbelief can stop the power of God from flowing. But it remains an idea and experience that does not match up to the word of God.

What if some were 𝐮𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐟𝐮𝐥? Does their 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐧𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐲 the 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 of God? By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, - Romans 3:3-4

While the context is about God's plan of salvation for both Jews and Gentiles, it reveals the nature of God that is consistent throughout the Word.

The word 'unfaithful' is 'disbelief' in the Greek, which is often applied to unbelievers (Mk 16:16; Acts 28:24). The word 'faithlessness' is 'unbelief' in the Greek, which is often applied to those who have wrong beliefs (including believers) (Heb 3:19; Rom 4:20; Matt 17:20) .

The word 'faithfulness' is also 'faith' in the Greek, which also points to the faith of God that God puts in a born-again believer (Rom 12:3). The word 'nullify' means 'to make of no effect'.

If you put them altogether... whether it is disbelief or unbelief (wrong beliefs), whether it is from unbelievers or believers, 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐨 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭.

What does it mean when it comes to the salvation of the body aka healing? 𝐀𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝, NOTHING can stop healing from flowing into unbelievers or believers, regardless of their spirit, mind, soul and issues.

If the healing doesn't take place, God (His healing) is still true, but the minister, technically, becomes a liar. It sounds harsh. But the Word says that God is true though everyone is a liar. Liar... in the sense that we don't fulfill the Word of God, not because we tell a lie.

The Scriptures are so rich as we keep digging and reading them.

P.S: For believers who minister to the sick, the focus is not on the sick, nor questioning their problems. We look to the faithfulness of God so that we walk in the faith of God to deliver the answer to the sick. Someone said, “If the answer is always the same, the questions do not matter.”

Done, not Do

Done, not Do

Almost all Christians believe that Christianity is 'done'. In other words, they believe that salvation has been purchased for us by Christ on the Cross. We don't earn or work our way to get to God. It is done for us, so that we can be in a relationship with Him.

However, many simply stop short at this truth. Christianity is not just done in the area of salvation. 𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚. Salvation includes spirit, soul (deliverance) and body (healing) by the way. I can pull out plenty of Scriptures to show that it is already done.

The epistles are full of what Christ has already done, not what He is going to do. Apostle Paul was resolved to know Christ and Him crucified (1 Cor 2:2), 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 (2 Peter 1:3) 𝐢𝐬 𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐄.

The moment you think that you need to do in order to get/earn/move God, you fall short of Christianity. I know many charismatic horses like to think that God is going to release this and that, as if Christ has not given. It is not from a biblical perspective. To them, it is not done. But to God, it is DONE.

The instant when you switch from DONE to DO, you miss Christianity at it's core. This is so simple, yet so profound that most of us cannot grasp hold of. We almost keep fluctuating between DONE and DO, which is the reason why we struggle between resting and striving.

It takes effort to enter into that rest (Heb 4:11), because every ounce of our flesh will scream "DO SOMETHING!" But the Spirit says, "It's DONE!"

Your salvation, deliverance, healing, providence, righteousness, peace, joy, etc are all DONE. You are not trying to do something to get it. Christ has already given. You just need to simply believe and receive (Mk 11:24).

My son had been struggling with hair issue since few years back. Whenever he saw a strand of hair, he would feel like vomiting. This is abnormal. I tried all that I could spiritually, but to no avail. Few years back, I even tried the charismatic nonsense inner healing approach (some called it Sozo, but it's actually copied from psychology aka the world's method and re-packaged into the church). Holy Spirit's job is not to trigger past trauma and memories so that the person can be healed. That's not Bible and nowhere be found in the Bible. His job is to bring to your remembrance all truths (Jn 14:26).

We run to extra-biblical stuff because of a lack of truth and power. Myself included in the past. But when I got a revelation of true Christianity aka DONE, I went back to my son and enforced what Christ has done on him.

I laid my hand on his head and shouted, "You, spirit of fear, get out of him! And you are not allowed to return." Immediately, I said to him, "You are free from fear, J. You can touch a strand of hair now. Go, do it!" He went to grab it, look at it, stare at it closely and he's totally fine. He said, "Papa, I don't dare to step on hair when it's wet in the bathroom. Can I try it?" I said, "Go." He did it a few times and he's free from fear. 

When we get hold of the revelation of DONE, everything within you will rise up to defeat every power of the evil ones. You can stop all the nonsense on inner healing and start walking like Jesus did throughout the Gospel because He never ever did a Sozo on someone who needed deliverance.

Well-Doing Requires Patient Endurance

Well-Doing Requires Patient Endurance

It is vital to re-read AND re-read the Bible again and again without being presumptuous that we already knew what was written, even after reading it many times.

The more we read, the more we find consistent connections throughout the Bible because the Scriptures cannot be broken. If our interpretation cannot be linked to another part of the whole, then it is likely incorrect.

The Scriptures, no matter how many parts are taken apart, can still be joined together as one consistent message. That is the beauty of the Word, since Jesus, the Word made flesh, is the same yesterday, today and forever.

This morning, something stood out to me as I re-read Romans.

He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥-𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. - Rom 2:7-8

Well-doing requires patience. The word is actually 'patient endurance' in Greek. '𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞' appears 7 times in the book of Revelation, because it is the main theme of the book.

You don't just endure in hardships and tribulations. You also endure in doing good. Why is that so? Because it is easier NOT to do good. Impatience is the key to earning mammon in this world.

In the industry that I work in (and I believe it applies to many industries too), it is way easier to take shortcuts to get wealth. Let's face it: Many believers fall into it. And don't be naive and think that leadership (be it political, governmental or religious) is clean and has integrity, whether in Singapore or other countries, whether believers or non-believers.

I have encountered enough to learn. And my wife has reminded me a number of times, "Do not be too trusting. Be as shrewd as serpents.", as she witnessed my various encounters. But we both agree that regardless of these, we just need to endure to do what is right in the eyes of God.

If you are doing good and you find it tiring (because you are still living among the wolves and goats in this world), take heart. For your patient endurance in well-doing will be rewarded in the life to come.

We need to see the end from the beginning by perceiving what God sees. For those who seem to enjoy abundantly right now are perhaps short-sighted, because their end is near. What you and I are experiencing is truly temporal.

We have a more important life after this: To reign with Christ over new cities. You can reign in this life without patient endurance in well-doing, for 80-100 years, but being reigned over in eternity. Or you can endure patiently in well-doing now, and reign over many in eternity.

It depends on which world is more real to you. And it reveals what you really believe.

The Faithfulness of God Draws Faith From You

The Faithfulness of God Draws Faith From You

You cannot produce faith by trying and striving. It is by trusting and resting.

The fruit of the Spirit includes faithfulness, which also means faith (in the Greek). In other words, faith is part of the fruit of the Spirit. It is given to you when you are born again.

More often than not, we like to say, “I don’t have enough faith” or “I need to grow more faith”. By thinking and trying to work on our faith, we stifle the very aspect that we want to walk in.

Your faith is not the issue. You have been given the standard of faith (Rom 12:3), which is why the fruit of the Spirit is in you (Gal 5:22-23). 

Your perspective is the issue. You cannot put faith in your faith. You have to put faith in the Author and the Finisher of faith (Heb 12:2).

Since faith comes from hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Rom 10:17), each time when you hear the faithfulness of God, faith comes.

In addition to that, the more we experience His faithfulness, the more faith is drawn from within us.

Instead of praying, “Father, grow my faith!”, you say, “Father, I thank You for Your faithfulness. I am going to see Your faithfulness in my health/finances/relationships, etc.”

And you watch how your faith comes as His faithfulness is unveiled to you.

Love Has To Do With Dominion

Love Has To Do With Dominion

For love to be represented at it's greatest, the opposite must also be true. There must be an equal hatred towards anything that contradicts love.

For His invisible attributes, namely, His 𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. - Rom 1:20

Throughout the books of the Gospel, while Jesus represented Love, the disciples and His inner circle did NOT talk about His love. His love was only talked/written about largely in the epistles.

While the Gospel books reveal Jesus' love and compassion for the people, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 (Mark 1:27, 11:28; Matt 7:29, 8:9, 9:8). In other words, though Jesus was always representing Love, yet power and authority (divine nature) were always revealed and perceived by them. They did not say, "Wow, Jesus is so loving!"

Jesus showed us that the 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧/𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞.

For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥. - 1 John 3:8

𝐓𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞, 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬.

When we take dominion over sin, sickness, disease, lack and every evil thing, we are loving people by setting them (captives) free. For God values true freedom to the highest degree.

P.S: Each time when the religious tolerates sickness as God's sovereign plan, they are not representing love, but wickedness.

The Just Lives By Faith

The Just Lives By Faith

Was reading Rom 1 this morning and saw this... '...unrighteousness suppress the truth.' (Rom 1:18)

This is in the context of the Gospel (Rom 1:16). The Gospel reveals the Righteousness of God from faith for faith (Rom 1:17). Jesus is the Righteousness of God (1 Cor 1:30).

The Bible says that the just (the righteous) shall live by faith (Rom 1:17). Living by faith is the same as living by the Spirit (Rom 8:1), who is the Spirit of truth (Jn 16:13). In other words, living by faith is the same as living by truth.

Each time when we walk in truth (Gospel truth), we are walking by faith and the Spirit. And this reveals the Righteousness of God aka Jesus.

But the opposite is also true. Each time when we walk in unrighteousness, we suppress the Gospel truth. We suppress who Christ is.

Believing in Jesus is a personal decision. Walking in Him is not. It is an individual responsibility that has a corporate impact on the people around us. Because we either reveal or suppress the Gospel truth.

Gifts of The Spirit Part 2

Gifts of The Spirit Part 2

Have you ever wondered why Jesus never taught His disciples 𝐇𝐎𝐖 to move in the gifts of the Spirit? It’s not in the Bible.

Paul listed the nine manifestations in 1 Cor 12 to the carnal Christians, but he didn’t teach them 𝐇𝐎𝐖 to move in the gifts, because they 𝐀𝐋𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐃𝐈𝐃! And they were in the infant stage as believers!

Did your toddler go to the School of Crawling and School of Walking in order to learn how to crawl and walk? Did he receive the laying on of hands for the impartation of the gift of drinking breastmilk? Was he taught on the ‘know-hows’ and the various methods of talking and hearing your voice?

You get my point.

𝐍𝐨𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐬, because you have been given the fullness of God in the spirit, just as how a baby is given with everything he needs to walk it out in the natural.

𝐈𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞. Period. A baby exercises faith when he takes his first step to walk. Yes, he falls seven times but he gets up again, and he walks again. That’s faith. Because faith never stops. He keeps doing it and that’s practice. Until he is stable in walking.

Once you know your identity in Christ, moving in all the gifts is as simple as ABC. I’m not saying that it is easy. I’m saying that it is simple. It is SO simple that you don’t need any impartation; you don’t need to go to any school of supernatural gifts to learn it. 𝐼𝑛 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡, 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑑𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ‘𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤-ℎ𝑜𝑤𝑠’ 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑚𝑖𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑝𝑖𝑟𝑖𝑡 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑖𝑡 𝑝𝑢𝑡𝑠 𝐺𝑜𝑑 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑜 𝑎 𝑏𝑜𝑥.

My son didn’t learn 10 ways of hearing my voice. He was born in the natural to hear my voice. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 (John 10:27). Everything that is natural for a baby in the natural realm is supposed to be similar for a believer in the spirit realm. We have just de-sensitised the spirit realm because of our senses and experiences in the earthly realm.

Jesus didn’t teach 10 ways of hearing His voice; He didn’t teach 8 ways of prophesying; 6 ways of healing the sick; 4 ways of raising the dead, etc. He did different things at different times in the Gospel to show us that it’s all about identity. The Great Commission didn’t teach the disciples 𝐇𝐎𝐖. It just told them to 𝐆𝐎 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐎 𝐢𝐭!

Every manifestation listed in 1 Cor 12 can be walked out by every believer in the simplest way: 𝐁𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞. If a baby can do it, so can you. You just need to knock out your unbelief and wrong beliefs: kill the charismatic sacred cows and unlearn what you learnt.

You don’t need to attend 3 weeks of prophetic and healing school. 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞. 𝐇𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞. You just need 3 weeks of obeying the Word by stepping out to prophesy and healing the sick because it’s already IN you. 𝑇𝑟𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑚𝑒… 𝑖𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟 3 𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑘𝑠, 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑤𝑎𝑙𝑘 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑖𝑓𝑡𝑠 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 80% 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝐶ℎ𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑠.

The Bible doesn’t teach you 𝐇𝐎𝐖. It teaches you to go and 𝐃𝐎 it. In other words, 𝐇𝐎𝐖 do you grow in all the gifts of the Spirit? 𝐃𝐎 𝐢𝐭! Period.

P.S: Some institutions might get upset with what I said, but I’m not here to please anyone. If you are my friends, I love and honour you. But I’m simplifying things because the Gospel is simple and not meant to be complicated. We need to get more believers to start moving because we don’t have time to keep wasting. The Kingdom must advance. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝, not some schools of Recognition & Qualifications.

Gifts of The Spirit Part 1

Gifts of The Spirit Part 1

Many misunderstood that the gifts of the Spirit mentioned in 1 Corinthians 12 are meant to be allocated differently for each believer. Nothing is further from the truth.

In the first place, 1 Corinthians 12 is not talking about gifts. It's talking about the spiritual (the word 'gifts' is not in the original Greek in 1 Cor 12:1). Paul was teaching on the manifestation of the Spirit.

Nonetheless, since the book of Corinthians was written by Paul to carnal Christians aka babes in Christ (1 Cor 3:1-3), there was no solid food given to them (1 Cor 3:2). In other words, 1 Corinthians 12 is milk teaching for immature/young Christians. If you want to follow 1 Corinthians 12, then perhaps you are not ready for solid food.

Jesus did not move in gifts. He moved in identity (John 5:19; 10:30). He manifested every gift of the Spirit because the fullness of God dwells in Him (John 3:34). Since Christ and you are one (Col 1:27; 1 Cor 6:17), and that the fullness of God dwells in you (Col 2:9-10), you can do the same works that He did (John 14:12) and even greater. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲.

Today, if you are still thinking about which gift of the Spirit you have and/or are given from God to operate from, you have not gone onto solid food. You are stuck at the infant stage. 

The Corinthian church is not your benchmark. 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐬. It's either you choose to conform into the image of the Corinthian Christians or the image of Christ.

In the next part, I will share how to practically move in all of them. It's the simplest way ever and it's going to destroy the charismatic sacred cows and whatever anointing schools at one go.

Truth Part 3

Truth Part 3

Few days ago, I saw a vision and I didn't know what it meant. Throughout the day, I kept praying but received no interpretation. A day later, before I even watched a video about the pandemic, the Holy Spirit revealed to me and this is what I felt.

There are many who keep their weapon in the closet and only intend to use them when there is a need. But it will be too late when it comes.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐈𝐒 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐧.

2 Cor 10:4-5 - For the weapons of our warfare are 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

This is the time to build on 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐀𝐋 (Rom 12:2). The renewing of the mind to the TRUTHS of God (found in the Word) is the key, so that the weapons of our warfare are ready when the war comes.

The weapons are not prayers; they are not declaring and commanding; they are not confession and quoting Scriptures. They are in the 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃 ---- the spiritual mind aka the renewed mind.

The mind cannot be renewed suddenly when tribulation/trouble comes. The mind must be renewed NOW. It has to be built up with truths.

Because what is happening in the world now is going to be worse and it's going to confuse the mind of many believers. They will be deceived, stumble and fall because of un-renewed mind; for they did not get their weapons ready. They did not build on mind renewal.

𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐍𝐎𝐖!

Truth Part 2

Truth Part 2

The phrase "God is in control" is usually used when circumstances take place in a person's life which are often negative. The phrase itself is demonic in nature because the one seeking/desiring control is not God, but the devil.

God gave control to mankind on earth since the Garden by giving him dominion on earth (Gen 1:26; Ps 115:16). Due to the Fall of Man, Jesus came to restore men's original purpose (Matt 4:23; 6:10; 28:18; Mark 16:15-18; Romans 5:17). This is why the fruit of the Spirit includes self-control (Gal 5:23), which means 'dominion within' in the Greek. 

Because if you have no dominion within, you cannot have dominion without, for the Kingdom is within you (Luke 17:21) and the Kingdom is meant to flow out of you (Matt 12:28) to dominate the earth, making it look like heaven (Rom 14:17).

When we see control happening around us / our lives, it is NOT from God. It is from the devil, who seeks control since the beginning of life.

...the whole world lies under the control of the evil one. - 1 John 5:19

He sought control in AD 64-68 among the Christians through Nero, who created a One-World (Roman Empire) Order in his days, resulting in the greatest tribulation that the world had ever seen, fulfilling Jesus' prophecy in Matthew 24.

There are many schools of thoughts concerning eschatology: Pretorism, partial pretorism, historicism, futurism and idealism. Probably no one has solid ground on the context of the Scriptures yet. Neither do I. Saying that "God reveals to me about the End-Times" is not enough to be accurate, because every school of thoughts has such people.

But what I know is this... 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥, 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜. Generally, those who believe that "God is in control" will surrender to what the devil is trying to do, because that phrase is on the same side as the enemy.

Disclaimer: There is a difference between God's unconditional fulfillment of His purpose and saying that God is in control.

This is why being doers of truth keeps you from deception. This is the time for mind renewal. This is the time to filter out the vomit from someone's digestion of the Word and go into the Word on your own directly and deeply. For you have the Spirit of truth living in you to teach you (1 Jn 2:27).

Be a lover of the Word and a doer of truth.

In the next part, I will share what I felt believers should get ready before war comes.

Truth Part 1

TRUTH Part 1

Truth is pretty subjective in the world. If you are not perceptive, you will be subjective.

To rely on fact-checkers alone (Thomson Reuters is a great partner with WEF by the way, and Pfizer is also their lovely partner; factcheck(dot)org is largely funded by FB and you are right, FB is also a lovely partner of WEF) is to be deceived. 

Since when would lies look like lies and truths look like truths? By no means! Lies have to look like truths so that deception can take place. This is how the father of lies aka satan works. He disguises as angels of light (2 Cor 11:14).

The only way to know truth is to know the One who is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6). In being diligent to know Him 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 (John 1:14) and 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 (John 7:17; James 1:22-25), you will develop His perceptive ability to discern between good and evil (Heb 5:14).

If one simply relies on facts, he/she is living in the natural realm. Because facts can be twisted to appear true. But we have the mind of Christ (1 Cor 2:16) and spiritual things have to be spiritually discerned (1 Cor 2:14). The natural mind considers this foolish because it is built to be hostile against God (Rom 8:7).

The true weapons of our warfare are not in the carnal and natural mind. It is not in the worldly knowledge (2 Cor 10:4-5), because whatever that is carnal and natural exalts itself against the knowledge of God.

Unfortunately, this pandemic has revealed how many have not given themselves to the Word and doing the Word. 

Supernatural encounters, charismatic experiences, prophetic utterances, chasing after impartations, sought-after speakers, great Christian books and teachings, etc 𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐓 replace the diligent study of the Word in it's context (with the Spirit of truth living in a believer). 

I genuinely believe that in time to come, we will see even more believers losing their ground because of NOT being grounded in the Word.

In the next part, I will share a Word that God has given and I believe that it is of importance and urgency for a time like this. We need to ARISE!

The Time To Build Our Weapons - Mind Renewal

I believe that this is of an important message. I received the interpretation before I watched a video on what is going to happen in the world in future through this pandemic.

Yesterday’s morning, I was praying and I saw a vision of a net with a gun kept inside it.

I was praying and meditating about it for the whole day but there was no interpretation. I didn’t receive anything.

This morning, while I was praying, I had an interpretation:

There are many who keep the weapon in the closet and only intend to use them when there is a need. But it will be too late when it comes.

This IS the TIME to build on the weapon. 

2 Cor 10:4-5 - For the *weapons* of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

This is the time to build on *mind renewal* (Romans 12:2). The renewing of the mind to the truths of God (found in the Word) so that the weapons of our warfare are ready when the war comes.

The weapons are not prayers; they are not declaring and commanding; they are not confession and quoting the Word. They are in the *MIND* - the spiritual mind aka the renewed mind.

The mind cannot be renewed suddenly when trouble comes. The mind must be renewed NOW. It has to be built up with truths.

Because what is happening in the world now is going to be worse and it’s going to confuse the mind of many including Christians. They will be deceived, stumble and fall because of *unrenewed mind*; for they did not get their weapons ready. They did not build on mind renewal.

It’s time to build now!
