The wind blows gently. There is a subtle silence. Floral fragrance around. The sun has almost set and dusk has begun. Judas is alone. The tempter is by his side. His weakness is known. He hears the sweet gentle voice. He lends his ears and the devil moves into him and dwells in him.
Judas, this world will know you.
Judas, every mother will tell about you.
Judas, your name will spread far and wide.
Judas, every writer will describe you.
Judas, eye has not seen nor, ear heard the things prepared for you.
Judas, you will not lack anything.
Judas, you will be like the olive tree.
Judas, you are the candlestick and you will sit beside me.
Judas, you will be with me eternally.
Judas, I am the king of this world and you are my son.
Do it!
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, As a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8).
My son, When you were hungry I fed you. When you were thirsty I quenched your thirst. When you were crying I wiped your tears. When you stumbled I held you. When you were sick I healed you. When you were lonely I was your companion. When the world hated you, I loved you.
“Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them” (Jeremiah 15:19).
God, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, forgives all our sins, but we hesitate to forgive one another. The more grudges we have on one another, the further we go away from the Lord and His blessings.
It’s difficult to please the Lord without wholehearted repentance.
One brother used to speak in tongues. The pastor of that mega church to which this brother belongs did not have the gift of discernment. This brother used to have hiccups. And it was so loud that he used to disturb the entire church. One Sunday service he disturbed a lot, so the pastor came down from the pulpit and put his hand on this brother, and this brother laughed aloud, and the spirit in him revealed all the sins of the pastor. He was heavily possessed. So pastors and prophets feared to pray for him.
This brother was a ruffian. He used to walk around the market area with a big sword in his hand, and he used to collect money from every shopkeeper and business owner. This went on for many years. He was popular even among the police force.
It so happened that one day someone gave two bananas to his mother and asked her to give them to him. This man ate one and gave the other to his child. There was witchcraft in it, and from that day he started to have hiccups. Everyone used to fear him; that was the kind of possession. He spent a lot of money on medicine, but nothing happened. He started seeking God, and someone had given my sister’s contact number. He used to call my sister and get himself prayed for. We called him home.
My sister had a very powerful gift of discernment; she bound the tongues that he was speaking, for he had evil tongues. I and my sister started praying for him, and when I put my hand on him, he said it was burning and felt the fire of the Lord. He was rolling, screaming and vomiting. For six days we prayed for him. God forgave all his sins. delivered him, and anointed him. Now he is a prophet. God is using him mightily.
Miracles never happen when the minister of God has a grudge on anyone or expresses anger at any flesh and if he has not repented wholeheartedly. God is very merciful, but while doing deliverance ministry, one has to have a clean, holy, and perfect heart.
The thoughts and the deeds are open to the Heaven and Hell.
Once a pastor fought with his wife before leaving home. In a fit of anger, he left home and drove recklessly. He met with an accident and died on the spot. He has been serving the Lord for several years. His spirit was before the Lord. And the Lord was not pleased that he fought with his wife. Wholehearted repentance and the Lord’s forgiveness are two of the basic criteria to enter Heaven. God is very merciful; He sent the pastor’s soul back to his body to repent and ask forgiveness from his wife. God is good; He is our Father, and He wants perfection in every soul. He corrects each and every one. He creates situations whereby we learn our mistakes and accept them to reform ourselves.
One cannot proceed further in the Lord or in the ministry with an unforgiving heart. It will destroy one’s peace.
“But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire; Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift” (Matthew 5:22,23,24).
Repentance is the key to unlock the Lord’s blessings. Repentance and Reconciliation will replenish and refresh your soul.
Forgive our sins as we forgiver those who sin against us.
One’s life will be ruined by guilt about sin. It will increase our misery and weed out our joy. The relationship we have built over the years with God is severed by sin, which stands between us and God. It is very painful for God.
“For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation” (Psalms 149:4).
Only the meek will repent. Pride will not bow. Pride will not kneel. Pride will never pray.
Kneel and bow in meekness, or raise your hands and surrender to the most merciful Father, and His heart will melt.
God hates the contentious and argumentative spirit and the spirit of wrath.
God will forgive. But He is seas of anger; repeated sins by a minister of God will provoke His anger, and He will surely punish in order to correct. But Satan will mock and put the minister of God to shame.
You might be the best singer or a musician in your choir or a popular leader among the members of your congregation, and you might attend the church with the best of your attire during every service, but if you have not pleased God, you will end up in hell. God sees your heart, your thoughts, your eyes and your deeds.
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19).
Repent and Reconcile with God, let your soul replenish refresh and be revitalised.
You can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you with physical strength, spiritual strength and financial strength.
“When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed” (Matthew 8:1,2,3).
St. Francis of Assisi was too wealthy. He had a fear and abhorrence of lepers. One day, while riding his horse near Assisi, he met a man afflicted with leprosy. The sight of the leper filled him with horror and disgust; he was shocked and disturbed, but he got off the horse and kissed him. The leper put out his hand hoping to receive something. Out of compassion, Francis gave money to the leper.
But when Francis mounted his horse again and looked all around, he could not see the leper anywhere. He realised that it was Lord Jesus whom he had just kissed.
Francis could have neglected and passed away but he heard that still small voice that guided him to stop, reach out and embrace the man with leprosy.
That gesture of humbleness and obedience to the Lord’s voice transformed him to be a mighty saint of God. Lord Jesus Christ guided Saint Francis to minister even to the Muslim kings and to baptise them.
“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares” ( Hebrews 13:2).
“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away” (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).
God will humble us and test us to know what is in our heart. He who has pity and lends to the poor, lends to the LORD, and God will bless him multifold.
Help the poor and the needy. Pray for the sick. Visit the widows and the fatherless, bless them and be blessed forever.
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:38).
The eyes of the Great Yahweh Elohim moved to and fro and found a young girl separated from her childhood. She was chosen before the foundations of this world. She was in the wilderness. She loved the Lord more than her toys. She had no friends, she preferred to be alone. When the girls of her age were with the world she was with the Jehovah. God’s eyes were on this child. He kept watching her. A miraculous historic plan was created for her. A plan that would stir the marrows of anyone who hears.
Child Mary separated herself from the world prepared in the isolation for the Holy Historical Mission.
Nothing of this world could tempt or trouble her or stain her. Her focus was only on the calling. She was trained by the Holy Spirit from her childhood. She silently submitted to be moulded as the vessel for the Master’s use. In order to come in flesh this Mighty El Shaddai chose this young girl who got separated from the world at the age of 3. There was no other girl than her, perfect and holy as per the Lord’s standard and requirement for the mission.
“Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word” (Luke 1:38).
Her thoughts were not on the society that would mock her but to be a perfect handmaid for the Lord to accomplish His plan.
MOTHER MARY WAS THE WAY TO BRING THE WAY FOR THE WAY OF THE CHILDREN.
Theotokos was incredibly holy. She was The Holy Ark and The Throne Room of God. The Perfect One to hold the All Perfect. Her life was as clear as crystal and immaculate. God truly honoured her. She has been given a Royal place in the Heaven.
She was the perfect holy vessel, a plan for the accomplishment of the Lord’s plan. God truly honoured her. For her obedience
Let Mother Mary be an example to everyone. Her “yes “ to the Lord truly exemplifies her obedience and submission to the Father’s plan. . She took up a great responsibility to carefully look after her son Emmanuel with diligence. A young girl of that age accepting this responsibility shows her great strong grit, willpower and courage. Father Joseph, the Father of Jesus in flesh took up equal responsibility in taking care of Him and protecting Him and doing exactly as the Angel of the Lord guided him. Both Father Joseph and Mother Mary accepted all the hardships during the draconian rule of then king to protect the Plan of the Lord. The mission which was truly impossible for anyone to imagine.
Her holiness, her acceptance, her humbleness and accomplishment of the Lord’s plan has gained a royal throne in the third Heaven. We have to learn lot of lessons from her life. Be humble, accept the Lord’s calling, and willing to do everything for the Lord.
Mother Mary’s Pure Holy life was the foundation for the Holy Atonement. She was the sacrificial altar where she nourished and grew the blemish-less perfect Lamb of God.
If you seek the Lord you will be honoured but if you seek the world you stain your life and soul.
“Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity” (1 Timothy 4:12).
Be committed to the Lord’s calling and do not get yoked with anything that’s ungodly. Avoid spiritual lethargy and be wholesome in action and integrity in doing the will of God.
“The Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and for ever” ( Hebrews 13:8).
Pastor Daniel Yusuf and four other brothers, tied by the extremist and left on the railway tracks for their Christian faith. Hands tied back with ropes. They started singing how great is our God.
As the train was approaching fast. Pastor Daniel and four other brothers started shouting that they would die but not deny Jesus.
The train was dangerously close and the extremists had retreated near their vehicles. and were watching them. His last prayer, “Heavenly Father, into your hands I commit my spirit. Forgive these men, for they know not what they are doing. Use our death to glorify your name”.,
Just 10 seconds left, At that last gasp of time that air around changed and an invisible presence, but of a tremendous power and majesty had entered the scene. The gentle blowing wind stopped completely. Everything was still. A figure luminous silhouette, transparent as crystal, but bright as the midday sun appeared directly over the tracks, positioning between them and the locomotive. A liquid light pure glory from the very divine presence materialized in the human form. The figure simply extended the arms to the sides as if preparing to receive an impact.
The train the mass of tons of steal travelling more than 80 kms per hour began to slow down. Not a normal deceleration, no screeching of emergency brakes, no sparks flying from the wheels rubbing against the tracks, no characteristics metallic sound of a sudden stop. It was as if a gigantic invisible hand has simply grabbed the train and began to stop it gradually, smoothly as if it were a mere child’s toy being stopped by its owner
The extremist watching from distance were confused and thought it was a witchcraft and fled, As the train continued its impossible deceleration the silhouette in front of them became sharper and sharper. They recognized the hands that had deep marks in their palms. They also recognized the feet that carried the scars. It was Him. It was Jesus it was their Redeemer and Saviour the King of kings and the Lord of lords standing physically present on those tracks in stopping 150 ton locomotive with nothing more than the power of the divine presence.
The train stopped completely at exactly 3 meters from them. They could hear the hiss of the engine smell of the oil.
The train was completely motionless as if it had been frozen in time and space. The figure of theLord Jesus then turned to them. His eyes like liquid fire filled with love so intense, so pure, so perfect that they felt their heart would explode with joy. The Lord Jesus looked directly to the Pastor Daniel and said, “My son your faith has saved you. Rise up”. In that very instant the ropes and the cables that bound him to the tracks loosened by themselves. They did not break, they were not cut. They simply came undone as if invisible hands had carefully and precisely untied them.
All the five of them kneeled on the tracks in front of the miraculously stopped locomotive and worshiped the Lord.
The Lord Jesus smiled at them. A smile that seemed to contain all the tenderness and goodness of the universe. He began to fade, gradually becoming translucent and finally a golden light remained floating in the air for few seconds and disappeared.
The hand of the Lord is mighty and powerful. His saving strength is magnificent. When He can split the sea, breakdown the walls, stop the river, and can tie the mouth of the lion, He can do anything and everything. He will protect us and save us in all situations. He is the saving strength of the Anointed.
There is one more mighty sign and the world will know that the coming of the Lord is near. There will be persecution, torment and torture, but the Lord will never forsake us.
“He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation” (Psalms 91:15,16).
Even if men come before you with arms and ammunition do not fear call the Lord, call Him with all your Might or silently in your mind but call Him “Lord Jesus” and He will save you. He hears even the faintest cry. If you are gifted with speaking in tongues, speak in tongues the enemy will fear and flee.
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST is Omnipotent. He is our Rock, our Fortress and our Deliverer.
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise Him” (Psalms 28:7).
“In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto Him and He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before Him even into His ears” (Psalms 18:6).
“I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill” (Psalms 3:4)
“But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him” (Psalms 4:3)
The Lord was with Joseph in the dungeon. He was with Jeremiah in the quicksand. He was with Daniel when he was thrown into a Lion’s den. The Lord was with the three Hebrew youths, Shadrach Meshach, and Abednego. When they were thrown into a fiery furnace for refusing to bow to a golden image set up by King Nebuchadnezzar, but they survived unharmed the Lord was with them.
He pulled king David out of a dangerous pit, out of the deadly quicksand. He set him safely on a rock and made him secure. He was with Apostle John in the Greek island of Patmos.
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me” (Psalms 23:4).
“Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget you. Behold, I have graven you upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me” (Isaiah 49:15,16).
He will not leave you comfortless; He will come to you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He is with you always unto the end of this world.
You are never alone. The LORD is your light and your salvation; The LORD is the strength of your life. Fear not: for the Lord is with you.
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame scorch you” (Isaiah 43:2).
Lord Jesus never fails. Once, God descended while I was praying and was before me. He moved towards me and held both my hands. The firm grip with which He held my hands meant a lot to me: a silent transformation of his love into my heart saying, “I am with you.” Tears rolled down my eyes.
“Blessed art thou who seek me early. I have carved your name on my palm. I wait for you. I remember you every second; my focus is on you. Do not go away from Me. You thought I was silent and that I would not help you. No, I was just waiting for that opportunity to bless you multifold. First and foremost I want to bless you with spiritual gifts. I know you. Hold my hand and walk with Me. I will lead you. I who lead Moses and Joshua is leading you. Nothing can stop you. No wilderness, no desert, no mountains, no waters, no fire, and no man or devil can overpower you for I am with you” says the Holy Spirit.
Men of this world neither have peaceful rest here on this earth nor will they have eternal peace. We have the God of peace, Lord Jesus Christ, with us. Be of good cheer. He has overcome everything and stamped all that are unholy and evil on that cruel cross. In this world we have trials and temptations. God will surely lead us through. Bondages are broken, witchcraft is crushed and thrown into the desolate waters.
Let’s be thankful to our Mighty Father. Empty our hearts and pour them out to Him.
During my college years, I was praying for the Anointing. I went to several churches, attended Tarring meetings and once I requested a man of God to pray for me in a youth meeting. He prayed but nothing happened.
Three years later, God spoke to my sister, and she guided me to wait after 12 midnight. I was praying and I prayed and prayed all the sins flashed across my mind. I repented for all my sins and at 2:30 AM, God touched me. He poured His Anointing, the Fire Anointing was mighty, I could not control and was rolling on the floor. After a month she prayed for my Power Anointing. I received the Power Anointing for seven days.
My sister, a mighty prophetess and an apostle— if she is the main speaker in any convention or prayer meeting, during the final prayer session she used to move amidst the people gathered and put her hand on them and they will just fall in the Anointing. Pastors used to kneel and get themselves prayed from her for the Power anointing. Very holy, energetic and had the zeal to serve the Lord. And very obedient to Him. Her prophesies were precise and perfect.
One day we both sat to have our breakfast. She said she was seeing a vision of number 7 in gold and that it was glittering. She asked me the meaning of it. I was not too serious about it but I told her that we will discuss it later, first let’s finish the breakfast. She got up, walked to her room fell and gave up. God took her. I prayed and prayed cried and pleaded to God, took her to a church at about 3 AM (it was quite far), and asked the pastor to pray nothing happened. I was devastated. Why, God? why?
Seven denotes perfection. She did the perfect will of our God being sincere, holy and obedient.
“But our God is in the heaven: He does whatever He pleases” (Psalm 115:3).
Everyone has to undergo trials and temptations. Our God is the God of breakthrough. Only with his guidance we can overcome any situation.
A few years back, one night as I was preparing my dinner, one Muslim woman an old lady, called for me. She cried and asked me to come to her home and to see her husband. I told her that they have faith in dead men and visit Dargah, Muslim shrine and that I will not pray for them. But she started crying loudly and asked me not to say so but pleaded for me to visit her home to see her husband, whom I used to address as uncle, an elderly man and much respected in this region. God revealed all his sins to me.
The Holy Spirit guided me to go. As I went there, I saw hundreds of Muslim men dressed in white gathered in the front of their house waiting to arrange for the last rites. I walked in, there were many women gathered. They all gave way and were waiting to see what I am going to do. Since we pray in tongues many think we do some sort of incantation, magic or spell.
This man had cancer and was just giving up his ghost. There was no sense. His hands and legs were dead. His wife started to cry more when she saw me lifting his hands and legs, his lifeless hands and legs fell dead. No sign of life. His body was cold.
I knelt down by his bed and prayed, asked the Lord to forgive all his sins. I told the Lord, “O Lord! Where your spirit dwells there is liberty. In your presence the spirit of death has no power and authority.” And I asked the Lord to send the spirit of life back to his body. Immediately, this man rose from the bed and said, “He was feeling fine.” And stood straight. All glory to God on high. God’s Name was glorified.
This miracle did not happen for my own sister. God does everything according to His will. He does what He pleases.
He wants you to be His chosen shepherd for His lost sheep. Many are lost and scattered. The sincere anointed powerful shepherds are very few.
If one visits the throne room of God, experience the presence of God the Almighty, hear His thunderous voice then his sermons will be utter serious, without any jokes and worldly stuff. He will never crack jokes or make his congregation or the people laugh in the presence of the Great Jehovah. Our Lord is very kind and loving but very serious and stern.
God chose the Levites to carry the Ark of the Covenant. He was not pleased when Uzza held the Ark when the oxen stumbled. He smote him (1 chronicles 13:9,10).
Moses was not permitted to enter the promised land due to his disobedience at the Waters of Meribah (Numbers 20:7-12).
When Paul and Silas prayed and praised in the prison there was an earthquake, the foundations were shaken. The prison walls were broken. Prayer, praise and worship can break down the walls the barriers and crush the bondages. Burden and bondage must not bury us but we have to stamp it and crush it in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Whatever you are going through, Humble yourself and surrender wholly to The Lord. The anointing of the Holy Spirit breaks every bondage in your life and in your household. The Holy Spirit is very Powerful. He should be the head of your house. Take His guidance. Let all decisions be made according to His will.
Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you , says the Lord.
You have to accomplish the mission for which you have been called: for the mission is great and it’s powerful. Will you do it for the Lord?
