Sunday 18th March 2007, Volume 5, Issue 8

 

Well another Glorious week seeking and walking in the Spirit of God. Sadly a few are trying to find and fulfil God's will and destiny in 2007 yet they are still walking and planning their future by their Flesh. Sadly we have all been warned that do this will lead to DEATH and DESTRUCTION. The enemy in these last days is applying all his deceitful tricks, fears and lies in order to keep God's children out of the perfect will of God and to hinder and render God's Powerful Anointing useless in their daily walk. Please friends, don't make plans or decisions until you are led by the Holy Spirit. God's will and ways are totally opposite from the world. As Satan is still the God of this world his advice and instructions are all Flesh and the ultimate end will be spiritual death followed by physical death. This is not the hour or the time to be out of God's perfect will for your life. We are either living and walking in the Holy Spirit or we are walking and living in Deception - Flesh. Jesus is returning very soon for His Glorious Church....it is impossible to manifest the Glory of God when you are in the flesh and out of God's will for your life. "For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die, but if ye through the spirit do mortify the deeds of the body ye shall live."  [Romans 8:13]

 

Please take note...Satan's most powerful weapon is DECEPTION. His goal is to steal our reward by keeping us in the dark about what Jesus has called us to do with our lives. God, our Heavenly Father does not want us to spend one hour, one day, one minute out of His will and Plan for our lives. He wants us to be walking and fulfilling His plan for our existence. This month God has been revealing the hidden things of the heart all of us and in the fellowship. The Holy Spirit is casting a bright light on the spiritual road blocks that are hidden in darkness...those sins, faults, and shortcomings that keep us from producing a hundredfold harvest of God's plan for our lives. This is what Jesus is talking about in Mark 4: 20-22, He says this: "And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some 30 fold, some 60 and some hundred.

 

God calls us "good ground" if we receive God's word....both the written word and the mysteries of His personal plan for our life...and then bring forth the fruit, 30, 60 and 100 fold. Jesus made the statement in v 22: "For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.." Yes, that is why we are in a war...The Spirit of God is uncovering all things hidden in our hearts, and don't we all know that our Flesh doesn't like its deeds exposed to the light. Our flesh can be like those cockroaches that live in un-kept houses etc, that when the Light is turned on, they scurry for cover. They enjoy and love the cover of Darkness.

 

Our flesh, I guarantee you, isn't going to want to get rid of everything that isn't the planting of the Lord in our lives especially when the Holy Spirit shines light on the plans etc that are not God's will for our life. Never forget that nothing changes outwardly until a Transformation has taken place in our heart. Don't ever miss the miraculous aim for God's will - it is the only way to have a Victorious life and fulfil God's destiny. It would be stupid to ignore what the Holy Ghost is saying in order to obey and fulfil our fleshy desires.  This week be challenged to deal with the ROOT cause and not just the Bad FRUIT. These fears, anxieties, strongholds, lusts, insecurities etc are all fruit from a Root that is not the planting of the Lord. Make a quality decision to deal with the problem which is always the Root. In 30yrs of ministry I have discovered that no Christian can change the fruit that is being      produced in their daily life until they deal with the Root problem.

 

Only the Holy Spirit has the ability to reveal this to us and only the Holy Spirit has the power and ability to change and destroy everything that is not the planting of the Lord in our life. It’s only the Power of the Holy Spirit that has the ability and power to put to death the "old man's flesh" desires and deeds. It’s time for a CHANGE so that we can produce the Fruits of The Spirit of God in our daily walk and life. Instead of sin and our fears gaining dominion over us we instead have dominion over sin and our flesh. You can never change a situation, marriage or a weakness by using Willpower or advice from a counsellor.  Only God's word contains the TRUTH and methods for change, any other method is a total waste of time. The Bible declares this: "THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO PURGE OUR HEART" and Jesus stated it very clearly: "Now ye are clean THROUGH THE WORD which I have spoken unto you." [John 15:3].  Yes, it’s only through the spirit and according to God's word that we mortify the deeds of the body...those fears, faults and bad habits with which the flesh attempts to keep us in a never-ending cycle of defeat.

 

Let’s declare WAR this week on all our fears and torment and live by FAITH and the HOLY Spirit. "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the son's of God." [Romans 8:14].

 

It’s only then you and I can walk as Jesus walked on this earth and never be dictated to by our carnal thinking or flesh. God gave the five-fold ministry to His Church in order to; "Perfect the Saints for the Work of the ministry". They will never tell you what to do and when, but they are anointed to warn you and protect you from walking in the flesh and of being out of God's will. If you make your own plans for your future the Five-fold ministry which you are under are no longer able to correct or guide you and are not responsible for your failure and destruction. If God was not the instigator in the beginning no prayer and fasting is going to change God's mind....One must repent, go back to the beginning and seek the face and will of God. His way is always the best, it can never fail and will always achieve what the Father intended for us. AMEN.
