Sunday 12th August 2007, Volume 5, Issue 23

 

Greetings. What another blessed and week of Victory as with the Anointed Glory of the Holy Ghost we are destroying the  enemy and reigning and ruling with Jesus Christ. What an encouragement it is to us all as another group of our Fellowship took their stand against the God of this world and enforced the defeat that Jesus won for us all. Every week RFC is walking in greater Glory, anointing and Victory.

 

SUNDAY 19TH AUGUST AT 4.30PM WE HAVE DR. JIM AND KATHLEEN KASEMAN, President and founder of AFCM from USA     ministering to us.

If you are interested in these meetings in Auckland please contact Ps. Kevin who can supply further information for you.

 

On Monday and Wednesday evening Pastor Kevin has been sharing on the Power and Victory that Jesus won over the god of this world [satan] and how each of us have been given the anointing and power to demonstrate his defeat and live the daily Victorious life free from all fear, poverty, sickness and lack.  In order that we can all achieve that goal we must all be; "Strong in the Lord and in the power of His might."  We are the last day ARMY of GOD. God has not called us to just be ‘church goers’ but we are all called to      enforce the enemy’s defeat, not only in our own lives but in the lives of other people. The Bible makes it very clear that there is to be no casualties in God's army.  We read why Christians are destroyed, "My PEOPLE are destroyed for a lack of knowledge because thou hast rejected KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject them, that thou shall be no priest to me."   [Hosea 4:6]. There lies the reason why Christians are not living the victorious life and actively daily building the Glorious Church, which is our commission as believer's in   Jesus Christ.

 

When God's people reject knowledge from the Word and advice from their Pastor's and the five fold ministry, in the end they will be DESTROYED. They will be unable to walk and live in the awesome promises that God has made available to them. The Great News is however that God has given each and every one of us very effective WEAPONS and when they are applied to the enemy, they never fail to destroy the works and plans of satan. The meaning of the word KNOWLEDGE is defined as; "information gathered by truth, ideas acquired by study, investigation, observation or experiences." But grow in grace, and in the KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and       Saviour Jesus Christ, to Him be glory both now and forever. Amen."  [2.Peter 3:18] We must all daily be aware there is both GODLY wisdom [God] and WORLDLY wisdom [God of this world-satan]. Not every good idea is a God idea. Today we all must know that the answer to all human problems is JESUS CHRIST.

 

In all things we must obey this commandment:  "But seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God, and His RIGHTEOUSNESS, and ALL these things shall be added unto you."  [Matthew 6: 33]. It doesn't say seek Him second, seek Him thirdly or seek Him fourthly. It says SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD. We must all first thing daily seek the eternal kingdom for that is where all of God's provisions are made available to us. "For it is with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto       salvation." [Romans 10:10]. In 2007 we must all reach out beyond a limited knowledge of God or the end result will be destruction. We have a great promise in Philippians 4:13 that you and I can do All things through Christ who strengthens us. It is so important that we all have knowledge of God's will and Destiny for our earthly life.  We need to remember daily that "the thief cometh not but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy, I have come that you might have life and have it abundantly." [John 10:10].  If you desire and want to have the abundant life God has promised you, you will need knowledge and daily revelation from the Lord.  Never forget the more and higher revelation and knowledge we have received from God we are guaranteed daily to have more abundance. Sadly it is lack of Spiritual revelation and knowledge which will lead to your destruction.  In our nation today many Christians assemble faithfully on Sundays, and attend Bible study and prayer meetings throughout the week but have little revelation and knowledge about the Word of Faith.  That is why RFC preaches and teaches the Word of Faith because without it victory is difficult to achieve.

 

Without Faith we cannot receive anything from God and without Faith operating all our works achieve nothing spiritually. "For I bear them record they have a zeal for God, but not according to KNOWLEDGE."  [Romans 10:2].

 

God has promised us all SOZO Life. The Greek word means: health, healing, preservation, deliverance, safety, protection, mental soundness, prosperity, love, joy and peace. We all need revelation and knowledge from God and His word in order to live in those     promises. In Galatians we read that "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us." [Galatians 3:13]. It has already occurred and taken place at Calvary. I encourage you to read and do a study in the book of Deuteronomy 28: 15 - 68.

 

Many Christians are in trouble with sickness, poverty and lack, and according to God's word it is because they lack KNOWLEDGE. Fear always produces that which you fear, Faith always produces that which you believed. Jesus defeated satan and so can every Bible    Believing Christian today as God has given us Dominion, Authority and Anointed power to destroy and enforce his defeat everyday. In [1.Cor. 12:1] we read; "Now concerning Spiritual Gifts, brethren I would not have you IGNORANT." The word ignorant means to ignore, to disregard deliberately, pay no attention to or refuse to consider.  Yet in 1. Corinthians 8:10 we read what the spiritual gifts are that God has made available to His Church. The spirit of Wisdom,  The Word of knowledge,  Gift of Faith,  Gifts of healings,  Working of miracles, Prophecy,  Discerning of Spirits,  Tongues and interpretation of tongues. All these have been given and are available in RFC.  In 1.Coer 12:7 we read that "The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man {Born Again} to PROFIT with ALL"

 

In closing we cannot be a part time Christian, those who are receive an occasional blessing but are never able to achieve the Victory and Success that we have all been promised. Pastor Dion and Kevin are always available to support and exercise the Gifts of the Spirit so that all your decision making and changes are made in accordance with the Holy Spirit. This is the only way the LOST will be drawn to Jesus by experiencing His love from you and I.  Never forget the only way to sustain our daily relationship with Jesus is to stay continually in the power of His LOVE.  Lets have a look today at our LOVE WALK......I believe we all need to declare war on             COMPLACENCY........until we do we will not be able to progress to the next level of maturity and spirituality.....doing the works and greater than JESUS did during His earthly life.....in this awakening we all need to learn How to LOVE more....we must never be         satisfied for where we are at in our Love walk with Jesus, never thinking that we have arrived, [only when we arrive in heaven]. There is always room for improvement.
