Sunday 16th September 2007, Volume 5, Issue 27

 

Well friends, what a Super-natural time we had last Sunday as Pastor Dion took us into a place in God the Fellowship had not been before. To God be the Glory, Praise and Honour. What a joy to witness the wells being un-blocked and the Fire of God touching so many of us and taking us to a whole new level in our relationship with God.

 

We have some great news to report, Sister Kaseman was given a medical clearance to fly back to the USA after her stay in Auckland Hospital. Brother Mark Willhite is recovering after his fall and damaging his ribs and is now with his family. Brother Ken Pullinger is progressing well and on Wednesday was taken from Hospital to visit his home to see if he needs any help or  adjustments as he will be released soon. Thanks for your prayers, encouragement and support to Sister Terri Udall, she is    progressing well after receiving treatment at Hospital. Please keep all our brothers and sisters in your prayers as we believe the enemy is attacking the Body of Christ, but he is a defeated spiritual entity. All power in heaven and earth belongs to Jesus and we are joint heirs with Him so we have authority, dominion and power over the God of this world as we live and reign with Jesus.

 

The spirit of God has been leading us to study from God's Word "Who we are in Jesus and how to have Victory over all the   attacks of the enemy".  One of the main foundations we need in our heart is: "We have to leave behind all Carnality in our mind and thinking and become Spiritually Minded according to the New testament". We are told in [Romans 8:14] "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons and daughters of God."  In these last days every one of us must be open and        sensitive to what the Holy Spirit is doing and saying daily in our walk. It is only then that the Fruits of the Holy Spirit which we read about in [Galatians 5:22-23] will operate in our walk. "… the fruit of the spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONG SUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE " and are to be part of our daily Christian walk.

 

We must not forget that satan is also a spirit but can only operate in the flesh and uses natural carnal men and woman to achieve his purpose and plan in attacking the anointing and the Glorious Church. The fruit of satan's work in the lives of people today is WORKS OF THE FLESH.  "Now the works of the Flesh are manifest, which are these:    "Adultery, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness, revelling and the such like.......of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in times past, that they which do such works shall NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD." [Galatians 5: 19-21].   RFC Family we must not ever forget that in [Matthew 11:12] we have been warned....."And from the days of John the   Baptist until now the Kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force..." again we read in [Matthew 10:16]  "Behold I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves."  So its doesn't matter what the world and the devil attacks us with, our Spiritual Ability in the Holy Ghost is far SUPERIOR and can defeat every attack when we are full of the Anointing Power of the Holy Spirit. In [Luke 10:19] we read "Behold, I give unto you POWER to tread on serpents and scorpions and over THE POWER OF THE ENEMY, and nothing shall by any means HURT you." So friends, we win every battle, why - because the battle is the Lord's and the victory is ours.

 

In [2 Corinthians 10:3-6] "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not Carnal, but Mighty through God, to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." The enemy cannot and should never defeat a Blood brought Child of the most high God.  Yes there may be a spiritual combat but God has given His church and people mighty Spiritual weapons. [Ephesians 6;10] "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and the Power of His might." We believe it is then that you and I are guaranteed a daily life of Victory. Clearly we are told here to be: 1. Strong in the Lord.  2. And in the power of His Might. That is why in RFC we continually teach and preach the WORD of FAITH. In these last days every believer needs a strong knowledge and revelation of the Word of God, regarding the following areas: AUTHORITY, DOMINION, WISDOM, GUIDANCE, PROTECTION and the daily ability and stamina to keep fighting the GOOD FIGHT until we win.

 

In [John 14:16-17] we read: "And I will pray the Father and He shall give you another, COMFORTER, that He may abide with you forever. Even the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive, because they see Him not, neither know Him, but ye know Him and He shall be in you." and in verse 26 we are told; "But the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall TEACH you all THINGS and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said to you." It    wasn't until after Jesus was anointed with the HOLY GHOST and Power that He performed Miracles, Signs and                  Wonders.  Never forget that the Anointed Power of God dwelling inside a believer is the IMMUNIZATION against all           the attacks of satan. We are told to put on the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to stand against all the wiles of the devil.  Before we put on the Armour we must get rid of all selfishness and be in total submission in every area of our life.  It is then when we are in complete and total OBEDIENCE that we can stand against all the WILES of the enemy. In [1 Peter 5:8] we read: "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the Devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking WHOM he may DEVOUR."  So satan is always our enemy, never flesh and blood or people. Mankind are spiritual beings who are either full of the anointed Spirit of God [Love] or the devil [Darkness and Fear]. We must learn to always PRAISE GOD before the      VICTORY is manifested because it is a demonstration of our FAITH and TRUST in God. Faith and Praise always breaks the power behind the devils attack.

 

In closing, Satan, the Prince of this world, has no claim on believers, nothing in us belongs to Him. He has no power or ability [spiritually] to defeat us. We must always be faithful to God, His word and our LOVE WALK, because He is always faithful to us. Victory is in the POWER of GOD’S WORD.  In [Isaiah 55:11] we read; "So shall MY WORD be that goeth forth out of my mouth, it shall not return unto me void but shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."  Rejoice and be glad - we win. We are world over-comers and conquerors in Jesus Christ.
