Operating With The Spiritual Sense (INTRO)

We have learnt in school that we have five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. We see all these senses very active in our lives. In fact, they determine how we judge things that happen in our lives. Whatever these senses bring, we count them as real. And this is where we need to be very careful, because our senses can create what gets into our thought process.

For a while now, I've focused on the authority of Jesus, and how He in His fulness [which includes His authority] become our life the moment we give our lives to Him, as we become one with Him. Now, I kept on saying we should focus on who Jesus is, because as He is seated at the right of God in His fulness of authority, we have become.

I also said that the devil comes to deceive us, deceiving and lying to our soul that we don't have what Jesus has given us, just by single distraction from our hold on the finished works of Christ Jesus. But the question now is, what has the devil been using to get through to us, that there are times we fall, or we keep confessing the word of God in order to stand strong? It has been using the senses. The devil has been using our five senses to deceive us.

When you see a lion running towards you, without thinking, you run for safety, right? If you hear several gun shots around you simultaneously, you take off. The same with every other senses. Our senses have been the foundation of our deciding factor. This is why we hold on to Christ by faith because in order to activate the authority of Christ Jesus, they are not decided by our physical senses!

So, when your physical senses tell you there is still pain in your body, and Jesus tells you other wise, without having a physical sense to guide your decision, this becomes an issue in terms of belief in what Jesus said. This is where the sense of faith comes in.

Man wakes up very early in the morning to get to work, sees how he could make more money. He gets bothered about his needs; what to eat and what to drink, all because his senses has been set as a foundation for him to run about to get things sorted, whereas he doesn't know he is a pawn in the hands of the devil as it fills the mind of man with fear, in order for him not to believe the finished works of Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:5 says, "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who  live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit." Also, 2 Corinthians 5:7 says, "For we walk by faith, not by sight." So, it means that there is a Spiritual sense or should I say, there are Spiritual senses that those born of God should abide by, or else the physical senses would determine our lives for us, because this is what the devil uses to get to man.

So, what exactly is the Spiritual sense or senses? This is a very deep issue we have to know, in order for us not to sense with the sense of the world, but of the Spirit?

I said faith is a Spiritual sense. Now, since the scripture has made it clear that those born of God are to walk by faith and not by sight (physical five senses), then it would imply that faith allows us to tap into the Spirit realm to live our lives, okay. But this is easier said than done, because man is used to receiving things through the medium of his senses, so, how does faith feel like, or how can it be so clear that a person could just drop the senses of this world and pick up the sense of the Spirit?

My reason for saying this is that the things of the Spirit aren't figures of speech, they as real as the things we see right here on earth. When breeze blows, we feel it. To say we hope to feel the breeze when it is blowing won't make any sense. Likewise, the things of the Spirit isn't in a state of hope, but a state of reality, and this is basically because of the finished works of Jesus.

When Jesus said on the cross that it is finished, and three days later He resurrected, and is now seated at the right hand of God, it implies to us that it is done. And this is a state of rest as in Genesis, the rest God took on the seventh day after creation, to imply that it is a done deal, (ref.: Genesis 2:3). Which is in line with the rest in Christ which we are asked to labour to enter or maintain, (ref.: Hebrews 4:11). This can only be acquired through the Spiritual sense.

So, let's take a look at faith as a Spiritual sense, in order to establish the reality of the Spiritual realm as real through the spiritual sense, that the deceit of the physical senses used by the devil becomes so insignificant as we live our lives right here on earth.

To take a look at this, log on tomorrow as I look into Operating With The Spiritual Sense.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

The Importance of Our Confession and Belief

It's so straightforward to allow the Lord Jesus to become your Lord and Saviour. Romans 10:9 says, "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Whoever does this is saved, because the person confessed that Jesus is Lord and believed in the heart that God raised Him from the dead. It is straightforward, but whoever does

this has automatically become an ambassador of Christ Jesus. In other words you are Christ Jesus living on or better still you represent Christ in His fulness here on earth. This means you're not a citizen of this earth but heaven.

Now, there is a system of this world, which is no longer your system, but you live in this world, but are not of this world, which implies that you're not to be influenced in anyway by the system of this world. This is because the world operates a fallen system, and your job is to save as many people as Christ Jesus gives you strength into the kingdom of Christ Jesus. The world is falling apart, and has an expiration date.

Remember, you made a confession and believed in your heart that translated you into the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you are in your kingdom, you hear kingdom talk, and you experience kingdom mindset and way of life. But you're not in your kingdom right now, which means, the talk you hear around you aren't of the kingdom, the mindset is kingdom mindset, and the way of life isn't of the kingdom. Please take note of these things.

There is an idiot who know your mission here on earth, and would do everything possible within its limited but yet deceitful and trickery ability to not let you accomplish your mission. And it's way is just to let you get carried away by the ways of this fallen world. So, everything around you is a distraction and a trick to let you fall. But of course the scripture says in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that, "No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it."

God will always show you a way of escape. You must be led by the Holy Spirit as you soak yourself in the word of the kingdom (the word of God). Now, this is what is so important to you. You must NEVER let the word of God [particularly the finished works of Christ Jesus], depart out of your mouth, meaning you must confess it. You must meditate on it day and night which strengthens your belief system. This helps you keep in tune with the kingdom signal of heaven through the Holy Spirit. It's kind of like wearing headphones with noise cancellation system in it.

This act must be intentional because any time you keep quiet, you’re giving room for the world to get in. And your focus shouldn't be on you not being distracted, rather your focus should be on who you are already, by maintaining who you are as the Lord Jesus right now, seated at the right hand of God. This is why you confession and belief shouldn't stop. You're in Christ, then maintain your being in Christ through your confession and belief, thus being alert as you meditate on the scriptures and are being led by the Holy Spirit.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Learn To Listen

A brand new life is what is received when a person gets born again. This new Spirit is the life of Christ Jesus [which I have established several times]. This new life isn't a life we receive in order to lead ourselves, if this were so, then there really wasn't any change, as it would lead to the same old failure. And what exactly is the point of saying the Spirit of Christ Jesus was received, if not because He is our new life, and by new life, He is our leading. So, how are you led?

Romans 8:14 says "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." So, it is clear that it is the Holy Spirit who leads us. But many people claim they don't know when it is the Holy Spirit leading them or another Spirit.

Firstly, the scriptures has made us understand that we should test all spirits to know if they are of God or not, (ref.: 1 John 4:1). The Spirit of the God would always testify that He is the Spirit of Jesus Christ, which a false spirit would NEVER DARE do.

Apostle Paul, after asking who was speaking, the voice said He is Jesus, (ref.: Acts 9:5). No false Spirit can ever dare do that, unless it wants to die before its time.

My focus here is not just in the identification of whose speaking, but on the concern that many don't know how to listen, not to talk of determining who is speaking.

One thing has been made clear, which is that those who are born of God have received the Holy Spirit in them, who is the Spirit of Jesus. So, it would only imply that when He speaks your new Spirit affirms to it.

There is a language of the Spirit, and even the devil can't imitate that language. It [referring to the useless devil] could try to imitate, but those who know their God would always determine the difference, ref.: John 10:4-5).

God in Genesis [before the fall of man] always came down to fellowship with Adam, so Adam only knew one type of language, and that was God's own language. So, the moment Adam said he was afraid, God knew immediately that Adam had eaten of the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, just through his language. Adam spoke a language that wasn't of God, and since God was the only one who fellowshiped with him, it would only mean that Adam got knowledge from another source.

So, in order to listen, you must know how the Holy Spirit speaks, which is how Jesus speaks. So, it all boils down to knowing how Jesus speaks.

John 1:1 and Revelations 19:13 made it clear that Jesus is the Word of God. So, when we pick the Bible, we pick the word of God right? But how can we tell Jesus is leading us as we study the scriptures? This question is important because you can bring out anything from the Bible.

The scriptures says Jesus is the Word of God. And our concern is with who Jesus is right now alone, and nothing else. Our focus should be why Jesus came in the first place, and in summary, He came save us from the wrath of God, and to reconcile us to God through His resurrection by giving us a brand new Spirit, which is His Spirit, that is also the Spirit of God.

Remember, our focus is ONLY on who Jesus is right now. We understand that all authority has been given unto Jesus, in heaven and on earth, (ref.: Matthew 28:18), and that at the name of Jesus, every knee would bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord, in heaven, on earth, and under the earth, both now and for eternity, (ref.: Philippians 2:9-11). And this same power has He given to you being His church, (Ref.: Ephesians 1:22-23). This is established, as we understand this is who Christ Jesus is. He has won the battle, all we are to do is to maintain all that He has done by constantly reminding ourselves of who He is, and that we function in that exact authority because we are joint heirs with Him, (Ref.: Romans 8:17). We are not fighting a battle. What we are doing is to maintain that Jesus has won the battle when the devil deceives us that we have a battle to fight.

Now, as we meditate on the scriptures, all we are to do is to look for the finished works of Jesus in every verse of the Bible. Jesus is the only one we are to look for, and this is where the Holy Spirit comes in to interpret the scriptures to us, by bringing Christ Jesus out of every verse, and aligning it to our daily living.

Again, we are to pray to God to know and recognise when the Holy Spirit is speaking, because He could come by audible voice, wind, breeze, someone speaking to you, or anything. In many cases He drops His word in our heart. But as you keep on meditating on His word, you would know His language, and your Spirit would discern the leading of the Holy Spirit who MUST BE in line with who Jesus is RIGHT NOW.

This is why quiet times are very important because there are no distractions, and we can commune with God. Jesus Himself said, His sheep hears His voice and they know it, but they don't listen to the voice of the robber or stranger, why? The strangers voice is not the voice of the Lord! (Ref.: John 10:4-5).

This is where we need to work on—listening. This is because if you cannot listen, you can't effectively be led by Holy Spirit.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Guard Your Thoughts, Guard Your Life

There's no one I know that would tell me he or she took a decision without first thinking about it. In some past write-up's of mine I wrote that the words are the more powerful than actions, explaining that actions are the effects of words. In other words, there is no action without words. But today I'd look deeper into the words, because to know how important this is, you'd then know why certain actions are made by you.

Every word we speak is first processed in our thoughts. Also, every decision we make which we speak or not, are first processed in our thoughts. So, before words are thoughts.

Now, this is how serious thoughts could be, they could carry the same power of words. Everyone is at a state of rest in the mindset, and this state of rest is our thoughts lie. So, our words are most powerful when they tap from the state of rest of our thoughts. This would imply that the foundation to a perfect life start with the thought.

Other words used as a synonym to thoughts in scriptures could be heart or mind.

Romans 12:1&2 explains that now that we have presented our everything we do, everything as regards our bodies as a living sacrifice, we then see the fulness of Christ manifested in our everyday life as we renewed our minds [which is our thoughts].

Proverbs 4:23 says, "Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life." Why is this so important?

This is why guarding our thoughts is of extreme importance, especially for anyone who is born again. The moment you received Christ as Lord, your old spirit died, and the Spirit of Jesus became your new Spirit. Therefore, you had the mind of Christ Jesus, everything that He is you have become, in summary Jesus is now your life, (ref.: 1 Corinthians 2:16; 1 John 4:17; Colossians 3:4). But only your Spirit was completely transformed into that of Christ Jesus when you became born again, and not your soul (mind, will and emotion) and body. The mind is where you need to renew to allow the flow of who you are to come in.

Your Spirit is you, your soul is the link between you and your body. Your soul is the gate that allows what comes into the body, and it is where the thought lies, and that is what the devil is after.

Remember, all that Jesus is, you have become in Spirit. It is left to you to study and know who Jesus is and believe that He is all you are in order to be renewed and see the transformation in your body as you would start living the fulness of Christ.

So, when you study that by His stripes, you were made healed, it implies that sickness and diseases are under the feet of Jesus and therefore are under you. This is what your thought should rest on. But the devil does everything possible for you not to know that you have been healed, so he brings every sort of distraction and lies appearing real for you to believe as true, and this goes against who Jesus is and who He has made you become. And so, it is highly important to guard your heart and mind, because whatever you believe which is where you thought has rested on, it becomes your life.

Let's look at Ephesians 6:14b & 17. Verse 14 says, "having put on the breastplate of righteousness" while verse 17 says, "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God"

The breastplate protects the heart. The time you gave your life to Christ, aside confessing with your mouth the Lord Jesus, you also believed in your heart [which is very important], that God raised Him from the dead. This was an assurance with you that gave you a brand new Spirit. But connected to heart is your thought, because it was with the thought that you confessed with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that is why verse 17 of Ephesians 6 as us to put on the helmet of salvation which reminds us of where we stand, and how it all began. And therefore, it protects us from the lies of the devil trying to get into our thoughts.

So, we remember that Jesus is Lord over every situation in our lives, therefore the devil cannot get into our thoughts, and we remember that we because of Jesus, we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, which stands as our breastplate. But to add to that, verse 17 of Ephesians 6 tells us that the word of God where we rest on in the real sense is our sword of the Spirit. That which attacks whatever the devil has planned against us.

This would imply that our thoughts and heart gets its strength from the sword! This is because we won't remember what Jesus has done for us by being the righteousness of God without the word of God.

This would also mean that though the helmet and breastplate serves as a protection, which in the real sense is a reminder of who we have become in Christ Jesus, we are to also shout it back at the devil that this is who we are, and where we stand using the word of God, and it destroys the plans of the devil.

In conclusion, our thoughts are to rest on all Jesus is right now, because all of Him is now all of us. And as we remind ourselves through the meditation of the word of God, we are strengthened and can't fall victims of the enemy, who is the devil. And most of all, in all these, as we rest on the word of God, we live and become the word of God, who is Jesus Christ, (ref.: 2 Corinthians 3:2-3).

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Continue In Him

It has been established that before the coming of Jesus, the entire world was in sin because of our sinful nature. So, no matter what we did in pleasing God, it never made us righteous, just because our nature was a sin nature, and not a nature of God.

Then Jesus came, and saved us from the wrath of God, and freed us from the bondage of sin by offering us a brand new life, a life of righteousness, the exact righteousness that was of God. And this can only be attained by getting born again, which is being born of the Spirit of Jesus.

Now, what I observed is that many feel the moment you give your life to God, you now have the authority of Jesus, which is true, and then you can now please God by going about things the way you used to do them by being morally upright. This is where it is wrong.

Firstly, to say you have the authority of Jesus is true and not at the same time, let me explain. It is true in the sense that all that Jesus has become, He has given you. But for Jesus to give you His authority isn't giving making you a separate entity as Himself, and this is where many feel Jesus gave them His authority as a separate entity, this is where you can't have Jesus' authority being a separate entity, (well, many make this mistake unknowingly).

Romans 8:17, establishes that we have been made a joint heirs with Christ Jesus, thus becoming One with Him as the body of Christ. This makes you one Spirit with Jesus. In other words, you partake in the authority of Jesus as yours, because there is no distinction between a born again Spirit and Jesus. This makes it clear that all we do is to live Christ who is now our life, (ref.: Colossians 3:4).

Colossians 2:6 and 7 explains that as we have received Christ Jesus, we are walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him, to establish our faith, in other words, to establish our complete rest in Jesus as our source of existence, since we died to sin, but are now alive in Christ. Therefore, our being alive is because of Christ, who is actually our life, therefore, we live Him in all we do. This is why we have His mind, (ref.: 1 Corinthians 2:16).

Now, our life a Sons and Daughters of God isn't do fight a battle or try to keep a morally upright life yo please God. The ONLY thing we are to do I to believe in Jesus Christ, in other words, by ourselves, we would fail again, and this would show we are not one with Jesus. But Jesus didn't just do everything right, He won the battle, thus there is no battle anymore. So, we are to receive His righteousness as our life which is by having His Spirit, therefore believing that since He had done it, and He is one with God, likewise becoming One with Him through faith in Him makes me one with God, and this pleases God.

The battle we face when the devil comes, is a battle for us to establish that we stand for victory Jesus has already won which we belong to. The devil comes to sway us away from our stand on all Jesus has done, making us to see ourselves as a separate entity from Jesus, thus calling our attention to our weaknesses. This is where we cast down every evil imagination, casting down every argument against all Jesus has done, put them under our feet, which is His feet, (ref.: 2 Corinthians 10:3-6).

The scriptures says that as many as are LED by the Spirit of God are Sons and Daughters of God. In other words, we don't do things by our thinking anymore, but are being led by the Spirit of Jesus in all we do. And by doing this, we get strengthened by Grace through faith, thus allow more of the Grace/Jesus which He has given us to flow into all that we do.

So, we must ensure to enter into that rest that Jesus had given us in all that we do, by believing in His finished works.

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Increase The Light

Darkness is the absence of light, but light isn't the absence of darkness.

If I am to break this down, it would imply that darkness actually means a state of emptiness; a state where nothing has occupied a place. So, when light comes, it has occupied the place, therefore, the place cannot be termed dark or empty.

If I am to stay on the light and darkness issue, I'd like to look at a dimmer. A dimmer is usually connected to a electrical flow coming into the light bulb, and so, it could regulate how much power comes out of the bulb. In other words, the dimmer can reduce the full strength of a light bulb.

Now, if you've ever used a dimmer before or seen it used maybe on TV, you'd notice that any time the light is reduced, the place gets darker right? And this is despite having light in the room. But as the light is increased, darkness disappears right? Right. And this is my focus here today.

The life of man had been total darkness since the fall of Adam till the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Man was so used to darkness as a way of life to the point that the Bible says in John 1:4-5 that, "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. ⁵And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."

Jesus came as life and the light of men. But men could not understand this light because they were so used to darkness as a way of life.

The Passion Translation puts these same verses thus, "Life came into being because of him, for his life is light for all humanity. ⁵And this Living Expression is the Light that bursts through gloom— the Light that darkness could not diminish!" TPT.

Now Jesus, through His resurrection has offered us His life which is the light, and you can only receive this by being born again. And many have received this light as their life. But we don't see this expression of light as they live. What could be wrong?

The Spirit of a Son or Daughter of God is now completely light, but the soul needs to receive this light into itself in order to express the light through the body. And this is where the renewal of the mind is very important, (ref.: Romans 12:2).

Many of are like a house that has light in the switch, but haven't turned on switch, and we complain that we need light. But light has been given to you, but haven't turned on the switch.

Others have turned on the switch but have their light dimmed, this is why darkness still locks around the house.

But darkness flee by itself as the light gets brighter and brighter. And this can only be done through the meditation on the word of God.

Now, to meditate is to know who Jesus is; to know that He had the highest name; that He has won the battle that the darkness deceives with, and that we live in Him, being joined as one with Him, thus using the same authority He has in His name. The more you renew your mind with His word, you increase the light entering your mind, and you see darkness flee.

Look, Jesus has given us Himself, who is the fulness of God, and the greatest light beyond our imagination. It is left to us to allow this light to flow into our soul. And that is through knowing Him.

Jesus Himself said that eternal is knowing God as the only true God, and Jesus whom God sent, who has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him (ref.: John 17:3; 2 Peter 1:3). We must know Him, or else, we would be disturbed by darkness. And darkness is allowing the devil and its demons have free flow in deceiving our minds and we have nothing to defend ourselves, just because we are ignorant of who He is, and what He has done for us.

But the more you know Him, the devil knows already that it's a failed battle, because you are founded on the rock. Just as Jesus said that those who hear His words, AND DO THEM. Now, the doing them isn't a self effort, but a Spiritual effort into knowing Him, by completely resting on the finished works of Jesus, this is he or she that is founded on the rock who is Jesus, (ref.: Matthew 7:24-27; Hebrews 4:11).

I can't emphasise this enough, because the devil has a hold on anyone who is ignorant of all Jesus has done. Increase your light today and keep on increasing it till you attain the fill manner and stature of our Lord Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord!

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

This Was Why Jesus Never Fell Ill

Have you ever wondered why Jesus never fell ill, had a desperate need for money, or prayed to God for days, on and on before certain things happened? Well, some of us would say He was God in the flesh, that's why it was easy for Him.

Let's take a look at Hebrews 4:15. It says, "For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we  are, yet without sin." This verse makes us understand that Jesus was tempted in every way, just the way we get tempted, but He didn't sin, in other words, He didn't fall into those temptations, and this is why He is our High Priest who can sympathise with us, and strengthen us to know how to overcome any temptation that comes our way.

The reason why Jesus wasn't weighed down by all these issues we face was just because of two things, one of which is my focus today.

The first reason why Jesus overcame all the challenges that weigh us down today, was because He was born sinless, He had a sinless Spirit, but that didn't mean He couldn't choose to sin if He wanted to. Sin for Jesus was by choice and not a nature as man is before being born again, [thus having having new nature]. So, it would imply that Jesus could have chosen to be weighed down by what we faced, but chose not to. And the second reason why He wasn't weighed down is the main reason everyone who is born of God and is still weighed down by issues of this world need and must understand.

The second reason is that Jesus never doubted God for a second, He couldn't reason it out. I know some of you would say, "that's it?" And I'll say that's it. But let me breakdown what this means.

To doubt a thing or a person is to question the authority of that person, or to question the capability of that person. And this was what Jesus never did towards God.

To Jesus, God had and still has all authority and dominion over everything. The one who shuts doors that no one can open, and opens doors no one can shut, (ref.: Revelation 3:7). To Jesus God has no rival or equal, no one can or could be greater than Him. To Jesus, God is not a man can lie nor a son of man that should repent, (ref.: Numbers 23:19). Jesus knew God, and kept on knowing Him all through His stay on earth.

Jesus understood that the moment God has said a person is healed, that was it. Every other thing was EXTREMELY IRRELEVANT at that moment.

Jesus knew God and nothing else. There no point giving room to study any other thing, which was inferior to God. God was and simply is the greatest. It was at this realm that Jesus operated from.

We depend on doctors report, doubting God if what the doctor had said wouldn't stand. For Jesus, infirmities, diseases, financial issues and every other thing were under God, thus under Him. Therefore, they cannot stand.

Jesus understood the authority, greatness and capability of God so much that He literally lived God. This was why demons were cast out, diseases were shrunk away, sicknesses were cast away, because nothing was greater in any way than God, neither was it even a topic of discussion in terms of comparison.

Now, Jesus overcame all what we were never able to overcome, which is why God lifted man through Him, by giving Him a name far above every other name. That at the name of Jesus, every knee bows, and every tongue confesses that Jesus is Lord, from now till eternity, (ref.: Philippians 2:9-11).

And because of what Jesus has done, He offered us His Spirit, for us to become one with Him, not separated from Him in any way, in order for us to function as Him right here on earth. This is where being born again is needed to attain this fit.

Our focus NOW is to FIX our eyes on Jesus and nothing else, just the way Jesus did towards God while here on earth. We are to fix our eyes on Jesus through meditation on His word to know Him more and more and more, thereby expanding our confidence in His authority and capability, it would be an insult to even consider a doctors report, or even fall ill. Sickness, diseases and everything that weigh us down were all nailed to the cross, therefore, making us free from them holding us.

So, why are you weighed down? Fix your eyes on Jesus, get to know Him through your meditation on His word and open your gate of faith to allow His fullness which He has already given to you to flow freely as you function as Him. And nothing, absolutely NOTHING would harm you.

Knowing Jesus is so deep, inspiring, revealing, illuminating and energising. He is the LORD OF ALL!

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
