Love(1)

The Flow of Love

Love is like the water, it has different channels of flow. Love flows through many channels, and has many means of expression based on the need.

The Bible says the fruit of The Spirit is Love, then it goes ahead to mention the means by which Love expresses itself.

Everybody has a language, and until you speak to me in my language, I cannot understand what you are saying.

Love is so wise, and He is aware of this, that is why He devices many ways of expressing Himself to people based on their language, and their need.

There’s Faithfulness, for those of us who Have really terrible cases of doubt, and trust issues.

There’s Kindness, for us who really have never had anyone be tender hearted and considerate to us.

And so love devices many means, just to make sure that everyone truly understands what He’s saying, and come to the place of relationship with Him.

Love is a person, The Holy Spirit of GOD. And, He’s just waiting for you to come to Him. He just wants you to wait a little longer, speak a little slower, open up a little more, and be slower in your conclusions.

His arms have been open to you long before you were born, and He’s been watching you. He’s found your language, He knows it, He’s just waiting for you to come, so that He can speak to your heart tenderly.

He’s calling you to the secret place, so He can say all the things you’ve been waiting to hear, and give you all the things you’ve been needing.

Won’t you surrender to Him today? What’s holding you back. Why are your feet dragging? He’s been waiting a long time.

Don’t keep Him waiting any longer, surrender today, and I promise that you’d never regret it, AMEN.

The Mercy of GOD(2)

The Presence of Mercy!

The Mercy of GOD IS HERE, in the midst of these words, looking for a way to find your heart, and put it to rest. A way to assure you that He’s working.

He’s just trying to let you know that your failure is not a curse, but a blessing in disguise, for the last time He came undisguised you misused Him.

So, this time, He’s coming in a perfect disguise, that you may not disrupt Him, until He is done.

In this Kingdom, the King always works out His things in The Secret, and only puts the result up for all to see.

That is why the angels shout HOLY at every new expression of GOD, because they are totally unaware of the process of creation, and the time of it’s building.

They only see the results, and can’t help but be blown away. Let Him blow you away, that is what He does.

Allow The Wind of THE SPIRIT to blow you away, and make Himself in you. Open your heart, and you’d find The Mercy of GOD in the hidden places of your life.

Look again, and you’d see Him standing there, in the shambles, with a smile that shines brighter that’s the sun, and a hammer in His hand, fixing things.

He is The Carpenters Son, After-all… Look again, dear. Look until you see Him, Wait until you hear Him, And stay until He tells you what direction to move in, AMEN.

The Mercy of GOD(1)

The Mystery of Mercy,

The Mercy of GOD IS A MYSTERY. It expresses itself in that setback,
That pause, that time where it feels like you’re failing in everything.

The Mercy of GOD works best in darkness, where you can’t see, where you can’t interfere with your logic, and skill.

The Mercy of GOD IS A PERSON, and He is the master planner, orchestrating every single thing in your life.

He wrote the script, so He’s busy day and night, working out the play.

But you won’t see Him in a manner that you’d understand, for your understanding can seem to corrupt, and obstruct His story many times. The last time You understood, you ruined it with your impatience.

So, He’d be working in you, but not let you touch it, it is The Pala; it is a mystery that He’s about to pull off, and if you know, you’d tell your friends, and if they know, then the story would go off course, so He’d keep you in the dark, and be building the brightest light in you, away from where the eyes of others can corrupt it.

Faith for Mercy(1)

Adam had no faith in God, that is why he fell because if he had faith in God, he would have asked for mercy.

The mistake is not the fall, the mistake is a test. Mistakes and weaknesses come to test your faith in God.

The fall is when you go away from God, instead of going to God in your mistake.

The fall is going the other way from God, the fall is lack of faith in the mercy of God, for without faith no man can see God. Faith is dependence on the Holy Spirit and reliance on the mercy.

Everyday of your life you need to consistently ask God for mercy and grace because what seems right to you might be wrong in the sight of God.

The Furnace of Affliction(4)

The Purpose of Affliction

Afflictions are strategically placed to refine, and conform you into the image of Christ. They are avenues by which GOD reveals to you the strategy of the enemy, and how he afflicts your generation.

Until JESUS felt the pain, and went to the grave, He had no authority to deliver others from the grave.

The furnace of affliction gives you insight into the operations of the devil. And that insight gives you an edge, and a means to defeat him.

The keys of life and death that JESUS handed to the church was all the insight, knowledge, light and understanding that He had about the devil and his strategy. That was how Conquered.

Hence, your furnace of affliction is not for your destruction, but for your making, and for the deliverance of your generation. He bore upon Him their infirmities, so that He may have the ability, skillfulness and power to deliver them from it all.

All that you go through is for Good, and not evil. So, pay attention to your furnace of affliction. And, learn all that you should, so that your generation may be delivered by the virtue of the knowledge and stature you have attained.

Have the rest of the week full of insights, and exposure to the tricks of the devil. Be not ignorant, and stay vigilant, even in your affliction, and JESUS would deliver you, and make you a deliverer to your generation, AMEN.

For every structure, there’s a frequency required for building.

The Furnace of Affliction(3)

The Frequency of Affliction;
The furnace of affliction has many frequencies, and patterns of affliction. For every nature of God, there’s a frequency and pattern of affliction programmed to build that nature in you.

Now, in every season, there’s a nature God wants to birth in you, and because of that, He programs the furnace of affliction into a pattern and a frequency that has the intensity and ability to build that nature in you. Hence, as you advance in God, and come into new seasons, the frequency, and pattern of affliction changes, and moves towards a higher intensity.

This because, for every season, there’s a life that God wants to birth in you, and to birth that life in you, He needs to reprogram the frequency of the furnace of affliction that you’re in.

The frequency of affliction for last season cannot build the life for this season in you. Hence, as you advance in seasons, you also advance in affliction, because every season has a nature of God to build in you, and it does so by the furnace of affliction.

So, the reason why it seems like it gets harder by the day is because JESUS is building a life in you.

So long as you have come into The School of The Spirit, there’s a building happening in you. The Holy Spirit is building the nature of Christ in you. And, for every season, there’s a phase of building. For every phase of building, there’s a frequency of affliction programmed to build that nature of Christ into you. Hence, the gradual increment in the intensity of your afflictions.

Instead of complaining and running away, come to The Holy Spirit, and ask Him to help you to submit to the afflictions as they come per season, so that you can come into the reality God wants to build in you.

I know it is hard to live with everything so out of your control, but all you need to do is trust Him, and He would lead you in the path of righteousness.

Rely on Him, and He’d enable you to withstand all the afflictions, and conform to the image of Christ He intends to make you into.

Your frequency of affliction may differ from that of another. This is because, for every person, there’s a pattern of the image of Christ that God wants to build in you. And that pattern of The Image of Christ is different from the one He wants to build in your neighbor.

So, look not to the left nor to the right, instead, steadily fix your gaze on JESUS, and before you know it, you’d be the spitting image of He whom you have beheld, AMEN.

SECRET PLACE

Oh secret place, the place of conformity, the place of illumination. Who shall ascend unto the hills of the Lord? They that have clean hands, and a pure heart.

Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. A child like heart oh Lord! Blessed is a man who sits not in the seat of the scornful nor stand in the way of sinners, but his delight is in the law of The Lord.

This is the time to dwell more in the secret place, and trust God for discernment..

A cry for a generation now is for who will bring Jesus to them.

Where are the marys that will give their womb to the birthing of the messiah, where are the Deborahs that will rise a whole nation Israel, where are the priest that will give themselves to the altar day and night with weeping and waiting for Jesus to come into time.

Where are the prophets that will give themselves to the system of Babylon, where are the prophets that will cling to the horns of purity for life, where are the Samuels that their habitation is the presence of The Lord?

Where are the Johns that will give themselves to the burden and heartbeat of The Lord. Our world is in darkness, our nation is in gross darkness.

But a remnant from the tribe of Judah will rise with righteousness and purity in their hands, a remnant whose garment will forever be pure.

Are you ready to be the one,
Or should we wait for another?

The Furnace of Affliction(2)

Until there is a fiery furnace, there cannot be a 4th Man. Take a look at the Hebrew children; Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. I am using their Hebrew names, because the names that Nebuchadnezzar gave them were quite unfit(this is a talk for another day.)

Until they were thrown into the fiery furnace of affliction, they didn’t see God. The furnace of affliction is the position to take in order to behold God, and become like Him.

The clarity of your beholding the Father, and the perfection of your conformity is the furnace of affliction.

The furnace of affliction is the circumstance you go through. And, it has dual function; one, positioning for encounters with God, and two, structuring into the image you behold.

You have to be structured into what you become. As you behold, you have to be forged, and chiseled into what you’ve seen of God. So, if you see the nature of stillness in God, then you have to become it. For that to happen, The Lord has to tune the furnace of your affliction to the frequency; stillness. When He does, what happens is that tumultuous situations begin to come up. All around you, things begin to shake, and quake. What this does is that it structures you.

Every tumultuous event is a tool to chisel you into the perfect image of Christ. When you face a tumultuous event, what it comes to do is to use every element that it contains to hammer you into stature.

Imagine a sculpture artist. He has a sculpture before Him, but it is not to his taste. So, He brings out his toolbox, takes out a tool, and begins to use it on the sculpture. Let’s say he uses a hammer and a chisel.

He places the chisel on the sculpture, and then Uses the hammer to continually drive the chisel in a certain pattern, creating a certain design. This is exactly what happens to us in the furnace of affliction.

Every storm is a tool, divinely allowed by The LORD, and it continually chisels into us the patterns that Yahweh desires, and until that pattern has been fully incorporated into our being, we’d remain in this frequency of affliction.

There are many frequencies of Affliction, and in each one The LORD has a pattern to incorporate in us. All we have to do is surrender to it. Stop fighting it, instead give wholly to it by The Holy Spirit. When you do so, you realize that there’s a change in the very core of your being. All you need to do is cooperate. Be like that sculpture, stand still, no matter what, and allow sculpture artist to carve you into the image he desires, AMEN.
