Older = Stronger

The older we get, the stronger and healthier we should become. 

Not because you exercise more than before.

But because the revelation of the Zoe (God-kind and God-quality) of life in us grows bigger as we grow older in Christ.

This defies logic because we were never trained to think like Him. To be spiritually minded is life and peace.

The next time when someone asks you, "How come you are getting stronger and healthier?"

You reply, "Because I have grown older." Then, watch his reaction. It's the best time to share the Gospel.

What Kind Of Faith Do You Need For Miracles?

What Kind Of Faith Do You Need For Miracles?

It is interesting that we often deem that the salvation of the spirit is easier than the healing of the body. This is because we believe in the realm that we do not see MORE SIMPLY than the realm that we see and feel.

If you tell someone to simply believe in order to be born again, he will believe, even if he feels the same after believing. He doesn't say, "I don't feel that I am saved. Therefore, I am not saved."

But if you tell someone to simply believe in order to be healed, he will not believe, because he feels the same despite believing. He will say, "I don't feel that I am healed. My symptoms are still there. Therefore, I am not healed."

The former is living by the Spirit, while the latter is living by the flesh. One is by the hearing of faith, while the other is by the works of the law.

Does He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith — 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐦 “𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐆𝐨𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬”? - Gal 3:5-6

In the Greek, the word 'supplies' means 'to lavishly supply, as it is suitable to outfit all that is needed to accomplish a grand objective.' 

The word 'works' is 'energeó' in Greek. It is often used in relation to power, like an electrical current energizing a wire, bringing it to a shining light bulb. It is used to EFFECT miracles.

God lavishly SUPPLIES the Spirit, because the Spirit is the Power to EFFECT miracles. But we need to respond by the hearing of faith, so that it works. On the contrary, it won't work if we respond by the works of the law.

So what kind of faith do you need for miracles?

...by hearing with faith --- 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐦 “𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐆𝐨𝐝, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐚𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬”? - Gal 3:6

Righteousness is a position you receive when you are born again. Abraham believed God and he was credited with righteousness. You and I believed God, and we received righteousness (2 Cor 5:21).

We believed God ---- this is the faith to be born again aka salvation of the spirit.

In the same way, since Gal 3:5-6 is written in the same context as Gal 3:2, the faith needed for God to lavishly supply the Spirit to you and effect miracles is the SAME FAITH you need to be born again.

In other words, just as you already have faith to be born again, you already have faith to receive miracles and healings. It doesn't require more or less. It is the SAME!

The only thing you need to change is your mindset. The way you receive salvation by simply believing God is the way you receive healing by simply believing God. 

Just imagine Jesus on the Cross and you know that your salvation is sure. In the same way, just imagine Jesus on the Cross and you know that your healing is sure.

Just as you are saved whether you feel like or not, you are healed whether you feel like or not. If you continue to walk in this mindset, you will see all symptoms disappearing without you trying to work it out.

You don't need more faith. You already have it.

The Promise Of Peace

The Promise Of Peace

We are constantly looking for peace in the world. We love a country that has peace ---- i.e. Singapore.

But peace is pretty subjective. We judge by outward appearance, but God judges differently.

The peace that God gives is not external peace. It is not about seeking peace in the world. Solomon's life story was a type of what is to come.

The Old Covenant is a foreshadow of the New Covenant, which is the True Substance. God often used physical things in the Old Covenant to point to the spiritual things in the New Covenant. In the Old, the Promised Land was a physical land. In the New, the Promised Land was in the Spirit ---- the Promised Spirit (Gal 3:14).

In the Old, there was peace on the outside (world) during Solomon's days. In the New that we live in, God has not designed for peace to be on the outside (world).

Let me hear Your promise of peace ---- the message every one of Your godly lovers longs to hear. - Ps 85:8 TPT

The promise of Peace in the New Covenant is Jesus Himself.

I have said these things to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” - Jn 16:33

God put Peace on the inside of your world, so that you can release Peace on the outside of your world. He calms the storm within you so that you can calm the storm without (in the world).

The New Covenant reality is not seeking for peace in a country. It is not about enjoying a nation of peace like Singapore. It is recognising the Peace within you so that you can release Him wherever you go.

Singapore has peace on the outside, but not peace on the inside. That is not prosperity. True prosperity is where the Gospel of the Kingdom has broken into the culture and the system, affecting the peace within.

There are more walking in peace in the third world countries than our nation. And we need to stop thinking that we are doing very well as a nation, and start releasing Peace wherever we go.
