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!
