Verse 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. (2 Corinthians 13:14) Message Have you ever said this after praying before? The grace as we usually call it, is said after prayers in group settings. The question however is, what does “the grace” mean, and what does it do for us? His grace helps us in our weaknesses. His grace keeps us strong even when we are weak—His grace is our strength when we are weak. When we are totally weak (that is, when we know that we will beyond doubt fall back into sin) His grace will be there to keep us strong (kind of like a spiritual energy booster).  His grace helps us to overcome our weaknesses. (2 Corinthians 12:9). It’s all about our weaknesses. His love helps us to love our neighbours as God loves us. His love is what pushes us to fulfil His commission—without His Love, we will all live selfish lives not caring about people in bondage to sin and Satan. Perfect...

Verses Romans 8:15-17 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint- heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together 1 Peter 1:23 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Message Let's face facts we suck at religion, the church has declined in wisdom and power since the days of the early church (and we can't deny it). And the reason is simple, we are not cut out for religion, the Spirit of God in us yearns for a Father-Son relationship and not a distant God and servant relationship (we are not under the law). We are born again by the word of God (who is the Son of God), we are born again in the likeness of Christ...

Verses Romans 8:15-17 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint- heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Message We (you and I) are not the children of a god, we are the children of God-the one and only true and almighty God. We have so much in common with our Father after we become born again by His Word; but we will never know who we are as His children till we renew our minds with His written Word. The god of this world knows this, that's why he tries to keep us blinded: so that we do never have a revelation of the God we are. We are born of the Word of G...

Verses Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Matthew 6:24 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Message Our power as Children of God  comes from the Holy Ghost; the world on the other hand who don't have the Holy Ghost have Mammon as their power source. We as children of God, can't have the fullness of God or experience His ultimate power if we yearn for Mammon's power. We can't serve the two. Many people have lost their anointing because they begun to seek power from Mammon. I am sure you would agree with me that, without money the richest man or woman in this world will be nobody. He or she would just have been another smart kid (like many are) walkin...

Verses 1 John 3:13 13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. John 15:18-19 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. John 7:7 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. Message The world will hate you because the god of the world knows what you can do; he knows the authority you have in the name of Jesus; he knows you have been cleansed with the blood of Jesus; he knows the power you have because of the greater one in you and most of all he knows that with all this, you can do greater things than Jesus did as Jesus himself said in John 14:12. He (the god of this world) hates you because through you Jesus can set people in captivity free. This is the great commission: To save people struggling with addictions...

Verse James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Message Question one: How do we submit ourselves to God? Answer: Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. When we submit ourselves to God it is no longer we who think, act, speak and so forth; Christ lives in us and He does it all. This is why the demon in Acts 19:15 could say "Jesus I know, Paul I know". He knew that they (Jesus, Paul and the other apostles) had one Spirit; in the natural they were known Jesus and Paul, but in the spirit, it was the Word of God working in the two of them. They were both born of God-by the Word of God; Christ came to give us a chance or a privilege to be born not of the will of man but of God. When Christ died and rose up, we who are baptised in His Spirit,...

Verses Matthew 24:24 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 2 Peter 2:19 19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. Message The devil can work through people (false Christs and prophets) to perform signs and wonders—and this is where the difference is—but he will never lead people (unbelievers) to the path of true salvation. What is true salvation? Let me explain it this way.True salvation comes about when a person completely turns away from his or her sins, and goes on from there to fulfill his or her God given purpose by faith. True salvation goes beyond confessing or reciting something you don't understand and claiming you a born again or a Christian afterwards. (Many have recited and confessed the sinners prayer, but the que...
