The Existence of Sin

1 John 3:24
Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

1 Thessalonians 1:5
because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction.

1 John 3:21
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. 23And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.


When the Holy Spirit resides in us, He draws us out of sin through conviction.

What does conviction mean?

1. a fixed or firm belief.
2. the act of convicting.
3. the state of being convicted.
4. the act of convincing.
5. the state of being convinced.

Meaning of condemnation:

1. the act of condemning.
2. the state of being condemned.
3. strong censure; disapprobation; reproof.
4. a cause or reason for condemning.

Notice that conviction and condemnation are exactly opposites?

Conviction is done out of love. Condemnation is done out of blame.

How we actually know if sin exist is through condemnation in our hearts. When we make the decision to repent, we are drawing out the sin from our hearts, into our minds/conscience (this is the part we become consciously aware of our sins and therefore can then decide to repent), then out of our mouth through the act of proclamation through the words we speak. When our words holds God's conviction in them, it translates into action, which is an outward proclamation of faith/confidence/repentance.

This is what it means to live in the presence of God and for God to live within us.

struggle

The truth is it does hurt.

And I just want to shut off emotionally so that I can continue to function on a daily basis.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus

Turn your eyes upon Jesus

Look full in His wonderful face.

Lord hear the quiet whispers of my heart, tie me unto you.
Will you put on this ring for me and seal me wholly in you.
For you know the desires of my heart and you hear my prayers.
Your sweet rose scent is your holy presence.
So once more I cry out to you again.
Please fill me like you have never filled before.
Let my eyes be fixed on you, and let every other desire die.
Let my joy be found in you alone.
Let my eyes not grow envious of those around me.
Let my heart not be weary by the worries of this earth.
Hear my prayer, Lord, reveal yourself to me.
In truth and in love.

And the things of the earth will grow strangely dim,

In the light of His glory and grace.

Have u consider everyone God place in our path is an opportunity to draw people to Him?

The person might be there for the wrong purpose.

But recall the story of Joseph, even though his brothers sold him to Egypt, for a wrong purpose, God made use of Joseph to save the whole family including his brothers from famine in Egypt.

So so he might be coming with wrong purpose...but God might use it as a chance to touch his soul.

Rest just leave in the hands of God.

Tithing and Protection!

I have been praying for prosperity and for the Lord to prosper me in whatever I do and whatever my hands touch, be it from school, to studies, projects, to finances so that I can be free to serve Him without worries. And the Lord was so good towards me, He answered my prayer by showing me His specified proper methods of tithing.

Apparently, our tithes are supposed to go to the widows, strangers, Levites, fatherless, oppressed, singers and potters of God.

When we give our tithes to the right person and deliver it in the name of Jesus, we will then enter into His covenant promises.

Luke 16:9
I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.

Luke 16:11
So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?

In those days, whenever the disciples gave to the poor, they did it according to Jesus' instruction and gave glory to His name.

John 13:29
Since Judas had charge of the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the Feast, or to give something to the poor.

Is 58: 6-11

6 "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?

7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry
and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—
when you see the naked, to clothe him,
and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,
and your healing will quickly appear;
then your righteousness will go before you,
and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

This is the protection that we will have for our back! Because the armor of God only covers the front! The gridle of truth, breastplate of righteousness, helmet of salvation, shoes of gospel and shield of faith.

9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
"If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
with the pointing finger and malicious talk,

10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday.

11 The LORD will guide you always;
he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.

And did you know that if you had owed a back debt to God, this is an entry for Satan?

The best way to clear your back debt/accumulated unpaid tithes, is to ask God for a sum of $ then ask God who He wants to have this money in His name!

Only then can we enter into back into a covenant relationship with blessings and protection from God!
Fragrance fills the house once again. ^^

Spirit of fear

Extract taken from Touch His Heart ministry:


I should have written down everything that I realized was missing from my mind that next morning. The thought pattern that I remember the most as being gone was the thought pattern that contained the "What if's." "What if this" and "What if that," is easily seen to be of the spirit of fear. I remember (before the deliverance) standing in front of people and having the spirit of fear rise up so much that it stopped me from delivering what I was to say. I had always thought that it was "just me!" Well, it wasn't, it was the spirit of FEAR!

To understand a little more about the unknown ability of spirits, I share something about a person who was told they had fear in them. This person denied it; most people do. You must understand that the spirit can deny it's own existence. The pattern of denial is directly related to the type of spirit it is.

Some years ago I had the spirit of fear. It controlled me and would rise up whenever it wanted to. My wife and I had discussed the fact that I had it. Fear of failure was what was revealed later, as I was going through my deliverance. This was understandable as I felt that I had failed in every thing I had tried to accomplish in this life. The devil uses real facts so you'll accept what he's putting on you.

God is watching us from a distance

From a distance the world looks blue and green,
and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.

From a distance, there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
it's the voice of every man.

From a distance we all have enough,
and no one is in need.
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
no hungry mouths to feed.

From a distance we are instruments
marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
They're the songs of every man.
God is watching us. God is watching us.
God is watching us from a distance.

From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.

From a distance there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
And it's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves,
it's the heart of every man.

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves.
This is the song of every man.
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance.
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
God is watching us from a distance.

Did you know that praise and worship is a form of prayer?

2 Chronicles 30: 18-27

18 Although most of the many people who came from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun had not purified themselves, yet they ate the Passover, contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, "May the LORD, who is good, pardon everyone 19 who sets his heart on seeking God—the LORD, the God of his fathers—even if he is not clean according to the rules of the sanctuary." 20 And the LORD heard Hezekiah and healed the people.

21 The Israelites who were present in Jerusalem celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great rejoicing, while the Levites and priests sang to the LORD every day, accompanied by the LORD's instruments of praise. [a]

22 Hezekiah spoke encouragingly to all the Levites, who showed good understanding of the service of the LORD. For the seven days they ate their assigned portion and offered fellowship offerings [b] and praised the LORD, the God of their fathers.

23 The whole assembly then agreed to celebrate the festival seven more days; so for another seven days they celebrated joyfully. 24 Hezekiah king of Judah provided a thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep and goats for the assembly, and the officials provided them with a thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep and goats. A great number of priests consecrated themselves. 25 The entire assembly of Judah rejoiced, along with the priests and Levites and all who had assembled from Israel, including the aliens who had come from Israel and those who lived in Judah. 26 There was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the days of Solomon son of David king of Israel there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem. 27 The priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard them, for their prayer reached heaven, his holy dwelling place.

For their prayer reached heaven. In 2nd Chronicles 30, Hezekiah Celebrates the Passover. In this entire chapter, there was a lot of praise and worship, joy was abundant. For when the people praised and worshiped God, their joy transcended into the heavens, His holy dwelling. Praise and worship is effectively prayer, a type of prayer that uses our emotions to communicate with God. Through warfare songs, it is for the courageous heart. For slow songs, it is for us to meditate on God's character.

Prayer for Kev

Lord,

As i lift up Kelvin into your hands Lord, I ask of you to reveal yourself more and more to him. Let your love shine upon his life and to prepare his heart to receive you. For you have known his pains and his past hurts and Lord, if he is willing, let him be whole again once more in Your eyes Lord. For he is yours and I pray against the kingdom of darkness to release their hold upon him in the name of Jesus!. Let the spirit of bipolar, emotional oppression, and the spirit of Magic The Gathering, spirit of Warcraft be bind in the name of Jesus! Father, I ask for your Agape love to continue to touch Kelvin Lord, as he starts to experience you again Lord. I ask that you guide him and draw him nearer to you. And that you will set him free from all these lies and deceit the enemy has planted in his heart. That Lord you will exchange his hurts and sorrows for your joy and I ask for your Holy Spirit to fill and guide Kelvin.

Deliverance and restoration, I claim all these promises for Lord you have said,"Let your kingdom come, let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" and also "Whatever we have bound on earth is bound in heaven and whatever we have loosened on earth will be loosened in heaven." So I claim all these promises in the name of Jesus. I ask of you Lord to release heaven upon Kelvin, let him experience your love and fire once more, let his flame be rekindled again, burning strong like a wild fire. I ask for Kelvin to know you in a deeper dimension Lord. Let all the lies be erased as he starts on as a new creation in you Father, a new white sheet whose painting you have just started. I praise you and thank you Lord, in your marvelous hands of creation. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Hosanna means Save!

Did you know that the term Hosanna is a form of praise n worship?

It means save!

And as the people were shouting Hosanna!

They were saying salvation is here! Save!

And salvation as we all know is Jesus.

The Element

I'm always inspired by people who are brave enough to drop everything to pursue their dreams.

These people have found their "element," the place where the things you love to do and the things that you are good at come together.
Meg Ryan, Warren Buffett, Gillian Lynne, Richard Branson, Paulo Coelho are such people.

It is the secret place, the most innermost dwellings of the heart. The birth of desire, of dreams and purpose. Where the secret lies between the Lord and the person.

How many people eventually live up to their secret place of their element?

Isn't it beautiful how people are able to discover their purposes of existence?

Isn't it marvelous how the hand of God leads them there, unfolding His plans throughout their life stages?

Exodus 15:13 "In your unfailing love you will lead
the people you have redeemed.
In your strength you will guide them
to your holy dwelling.

Will you forgo everything to follow this crying desire in your heart even though it seems unrealistic, or impossible?

2 Timothy 1:6-7 says,"Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you… For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

Will you pick up the cross and go?

“Why are you satisfied without My presence; why do you remain distant when you could have intimacy with Me?”

The secret place in which You dwell in is where my soul would find fulfillment. To enter is to follow one's purpose. Only then will the gates be unlocked with each stage of self discovery and awareness.

Matthew 11

28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

19So the Pharisees said to one another, "See, this is getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone after him!" <- Envy 44

Then Jesus cried out, "When a man believes in me, he does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. 45When he looks at me, he sees the one who sent me. 46I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.

Exodus 15
13 "In your unfailing love you will lead
the people you have redeemed.
In your strength you will guide them
to your holy dwelling.

"Let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

Our assignment is to bring God's kingdom culture as well as kingdom mentality to earth.

More barriers to be broken, more lies to be unearthed, more faith to be unleashed.

Exodus 15: 1-18

3 The LORD is a warrior; the Lord is His name.

Verse 3, Jesus is the commander of the army of God. Refer to Revelations 19: 11-21. In Verse 13, his name is Word of God. In verse 16, On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: King of Kings and Lord of Lords.



13 "In Your unfailing love You will lead the people You have redeemed.
In Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling.

17 You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of Your inheritance-
the place, O LORD, You made for Your dwelling,
the sanctuary, O LORD, Your hands established.

Verse 13 and 17 is prophetic, it is a replication of God's design for New Jerusalem and the heavens after Judgement.



The whole song of Moses contains a prophetic message which is linked to 19:11-21 The Rider on the White Horse.

The leading of the Israelite to the chosen land is symbolic to God drawing His people back into New Jerusalem as a completion of his redemption design for man.

The Lord blesses me so much.

While I was cycling to my doctor, it started to rain and I prayed and ask Him to hold back the rain and He did. The rain stopped and when I cycled back the ground was dry.

Next thing is the Lord has blessed me financially and exponentially.

Last week He let me reap 11% from my trades.

This week He poured forth another 18%.

This is compounded profits.

The Lord shall pour forth a living stream from the desert. He is my provider and will take care of all my family's needs so that I am able to pursue Him all the way without worries.
