Toxin Faith

Toxin Faith

With all the toxins in the air, water, our food, and talk about lack of nutrients in our diets, we need to be aware, and use common sense. Take a good multivitamin, and don’t eat or drink junk! Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Yet, there is a supernatural component, that only faith can produce. We need to actively trust Jesus, and the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit to negate some of the toxins in the system:

Mark 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Let’s Pray: Father, I believe your supernatural power is negating any ill effects from any medicine, additive in my food or drink, or toxin in the environment. If I have drank any deadly thing, it shall in no way hurt me. I believe that Jesus is my strength, and physician, and that He is supernaturally healing and keeping me strong today. Amen!

Another Look at Speaking in Tongues

Gifts of the Holy Spirit – Tongues

1 Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

I feel led to review a topic that may be old hat for some of us, but one can never exhaust the revelation in any portion of the Word of God. I am going to do a brief overview of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, explained to us by the apostle Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians, in the twelve chapter.

Now if you were Baptist, you would never have studied this particular portion of Scripture, nor the fourteenth chapter, for as far as they are concerned, these particular things have passed away. Yet, if you are a Berean Christian, who believes the Bible is the Word of God, you will study to see if these things be so, and you will quickly see that God and His Word, have never changed, and you will be filled with the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, and become baptistcostal!

To do any of these gifts justice, I would have to devote a lifetime to each of them, for though the basic understanding of the gift is for everyone, like many things in God, the applications of each of these are limitless.

Of the gifts of the Spirit, there are three type of gifts:
The power gifts: healing, miracles, and special faith. These gifts Do something.
The revelatory gifts, word of knowledge, word of wisdom, and discerning of spirits. These gifts Reveal something.
The vocal gifts are what I feel led to discuss with you today, tongues, interpretation of tongues and prophecy. These particular gifts Say something.

Now 1 Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.

Some would say, well, that’s nice for you pastor, you pray all day and know lots about God and the Bible and stuff, but I’ll just stay over here in the middle of the road. Some of these spooky spiritual people are a little too weird for me thanks.

Well, God’s right over there in the middle of the road with you friend, because He said in
1 Corinthians 12:31 “But covet earnestly the best gifts: ” He wants you to have these gifts, He shed His blood to get them to you.

Well, lets look at them. Now in Bible school we take an eight-week course on this particular topic, three days per week. Today, I am only going to teach one portion of it, but our spiritual father, Kenneth E. Hagin, taught this subject for over 25 years straight, and never exhausted the revelation of these verses, because the Holy Spirit is Alive! I heard him say that after 25 years on this topic, he was still learning!

Know this: I believe you are all doers of God’s Word, and as you stir yourselves up in these areas, expecting God to manifest these things there is much more we can grow in here. This is an area of intimacy with the Holy Spirit that is inexhaustible.

Well, lets look at the gift of tongues. God said this gift would come to the church.

Isaiah 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

Isaiah 32:4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

Isaiah 33:19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

Now there are three kinds of tongues mentioned in the Bible. In no particular order lets start with the tongues mentioned here, and again in 1Cor 14. This type of speaking in tongues or supernatural utterance would be the one you might hear in a public meeting. You know, where you are in worship, and someone cries out in a supernatural utterance.

1 Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels,

1 Corinthians 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
1 Corinthians 14:23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?

1 Corinthians 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

1 Corinthians 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.

So of the vocal gifts, the Bible teaches us that the greatest of these is prophesy.

Now we are speaking here about the public usage of tongues in the congregation. Paul, in bringing order to worship services acknowledges that tongues could and should manifest, but that the giver of the tongue should pray that they interpret what they uttered. Why? So that the church is edified or built up.

I was taught that if a valid tongue was given in a meeting it was because God had something on His heart that He wanted us to pay attention to. It was a sign to get quiet before Him in His presence. He was speaking, and we needed to listen.

I was also instructed back in those days, that if a tongue was given in a public service, that there would always be an interpretation given in that meeting. I don’t know how many times someone would give an utterance, and we would all get really quiet, and as I was growing in God, often I would hear God’s still small voice inside of me giving the interpretation. Often my pastor would speak the very words I heard God whisper to me. During these years, it gave me confidence to know I was actually hearing God, not simply my own thoughts. As I grew in God, I would whisper these words to myself, often hearing them echoed throughout the congregation.

As time went by, I hungered to hear what the interpretation was, and then little by little, I felt brave enough to speak out some of these things in public. Eventually, what I heard, I spoke, whether or not there was a tongue given to prime my pump so to speak, and so began a season of flowing in the prophetic, for tongues plus interpretation equals prophesy.

Well, that is one type of tongues.In my church, I used to teach the people, that if in worship or prayer you feel a supernatural language bubble up inside of you, speak it out. We all want to hear God. If they missed it, I wasn’t going to embarrass someone. If I felt they were off Scripturally, I would loving correct it from the pulpit, while encouraging, and congratulating the person for bravely stepping out in faith. Sometimes, people became so vocal, I had to ask them to be quiet, and write their words down, as it seemed they were always giving a word, that drew attention to them, instead to God. In a large church, it might be difficult to allow much public prophesy, but there can always be believers meetings (small group Bible studies) where church members can learn to practice flowing in the Holy Spirit.

The Second is like the early church received on the day of Pentecost. Where they spoke supernaturally in a known language, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

Now notice here that although they spoke supernaturally in a language unknown to them, the language they spoke was perfectly known to the people hearing.

I had a wonderful experience of this.

When I was at Dayspring church, in Ottawa, Ontario, we started a bus ministry to reach the lost at any cost.

We picked up a black man one night at the Salvation Army, and brought him to church with us.

Well, to make a long story short, the time came when people came forward for prayer, and Tasso asked me to pray for him. I didn’t know what to pray for, so I began to pray in other tongues, seeking the Lord that I may interpret, so that I might have something meaningful to say to this man.

As I spoke what sounded like gibberish to me, Tasso perked up, and seemed very attentive to what I was saying. I figured that maybe the Holy Spirit was touching him somehow, so I kept on for quite awhile, perhaps ten or fifteen minutes. Finally, within myself I felt I was finished, so I asked this man if I he understood what God was doing for him.

He smiled at me like we had known each other for years, and said, “You speak my language!” I said what language do you speak? He said “Ethiopian, and that I had been speaking to him in an Ethiopian dialect from his village back home.”

Well, I explained to him that I did not speak Ethiopian, that what he heard was the gift of tongues in operation by the Holy Spirit. I asked him “What did I say?”

He said he had come to church that night very lonely and troubled. He was living at a street mission, and had recently arrived in Canada as a refugee from Ethiopia. He had left all of his friends and his wife back in Africa, and was presently dating another Ethiopian woman here in Canada. He had asked God if he should divorce his wife and marry this other woman, and then had been approached by us to come to church on our bus ministry. He came, and came forward for prayer. He said that when I prayed, I told him the story of Samson and Delilah from the Bible in great detail, and that as I spoke, he saw that it would be wrong for him to leave his wife for this other woman. He had been so lonely and scared he said; yet as I spoke he knew that God had made a way for him and his wife to be together again. He was going to leave this woman, and trust God with his future.

He hugged me with such love and tears; I’ll never forget it.

Now, to my knowledge, this is the only occasion I know of where I have been used in this manner. If God could use me, He can just as easily use you!

There are hundreds of known testimonies of missionaries being used in this manner to reach other people groups. There is a book we read in Bible school, that recorded many of these, most famous is the one in Topeka Kansas in 1901. I encourage you to get it, “Bright Wind of the Sprit.”

Well, the third type of tongues is the one described to us, when the apostle Paul exhorted all Christians.

1 Corinthians 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues,

1 Corinthians 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:

This tongue is the regular supernatural prayer language of every spirit filled Christian. An evidence of the power of God come to your life.

This is the type of praying that one must cultivate as a daily discipline. One where you deliberately seek God, in obedience to the Scripture.

1Cor 14: 1 ¶ Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

I remember one day here when I was seeking God, singing praises to Him, and speaking to Him in other tongues. He said He liked hearing me speak in tongues, it was refreshing to Him. So I asked Him why? He said because he had heard all of the songs I sing before, but that when I spoke it tongues, it was new, fresh, and more intimate and personal to Him.

Some say, do I have to speak in tongues. Well, if you want to please God you do. Why,

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Faith pleases God, and Mark 16: 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

If you believe, you will speak in tongues. If there is anyone who does not yet speak in tongues, well, today is your day. You no longer have to tarry for the Holy Spirit, He’s already been sent into the earth, you don’t need to wait for Him, He’s waiting on you.

Now, if you are one of us tongue talking radicals, Shundai, Rundai, run around the room die. What are you doing with the gift God gave you? The Bible says to stir up the gift of God within you. God told Gloria Copeland, that if she prayed in tongues one hour a day, all would be well in her life. Well, she happily testifies thirty years later, that all is well with her. The ministry is well, her marriage is well, her children are well, and her grandchildren are well. Her finances are well, her health is well. God has been faithful to her obedience, and all is well. Practically, I wondered how on earth she managed to do it, faithfully, cheerfully, praying out mysteries, every day, day in, day out, month in, month out, year after year.

One day listening to her teach she told me. She has a walker at home, and she puts on either a good teaching tape or music, and she walks and talks to God every day. She gets her exercise in, and begins her day in prayer every day.

Well, look at the woman. She’s past sixty years old, and she looks great. If she can do it, so can we. Laying aside the sin and the weight that does so easily beset.

OK, let’s briefly look at the gift of prophecy. I alluded to interpretation of tongues earlier. For the record I’ll give a definition of the interpretation of tongues: It’s the supernatural showing forth by the Spirit the meaning of an utterance in other tongues.

I alluded to it in public meetings, but you can also pray that you interpret your own private prayer language. Often when I am here at the altar praying for people, I pray in tongues inwardly asking God, what does this person need Father? Often, He will cause me to know what it is, I just prayed out in other tongues.

I need to make one statement for some of you intercessors here. Often I take prayer journeys with God. I get unrestful in the Spirit, and need to know why. Rather than worry or fret, I have been known to jump in the van and drive for hours praying in tongues. One trip to Tulsa, I prayed the entire twenty-seven hours on the road in other tongues, and would have gone longer, had the release not come.

Well, I don’t want to keep you here all day, so I’ll whet your appetite so to speak, for the prophetic, but we will deal with it more fully, in another teaching.

For the record, prophecy is a supernatural utterance in a known language.

Rather than blow this off, we’ll get into it in more detail next lesson. Let’s pray:
Father, I pray that you grant us the gifts of speaking in other tongues. Father that you would give us the time, and help us discipline ourselves to spend time speaking in tongues in our own personal prayer language, that you would grant public utterances of other tongues in our midst, and that you would grant us interpretation of tongues, both personally and privately. Father, I desire to prophesy, to speak your Word supernaturally to encourage, and edify your people. We trust these things to come forth as you will, for we ask for them in Jesus name. Amen.

Where Do Ghosts Come From?

Ghosts and familiar spirits – Demons don’t die, so when a person dies, the demons that have been oppressing them or oppressing them, remain here in the earth. Because they knew the ancestor intimately, they were ‘familiar’ with them, and they disclose knowledge, only the deceased person could have known, supernaturally. This is where we ‘see ghosts’ or have ghosts appear to us in dreams, as past loved ones. This is why ghosts can stay in certain families, for they seek to propagate a generational curse upon that family line. All these curses can be broken through the power of Jesus blood, when we renounce ancestor worship, and receive the life of God.

Ancestors that have died, are gone, either to heaven or hell. The best way to honor them, is to serve Jesus in this generation, the only true path to our heavenly Father, the Great Spirit, our Creator. He forbids worship or seeking of familiar spirits, the ghosts of the past, and would have us seek Him, the Creator of all Life, today.

Leviticus 20:27
A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

As I read Napoleon Hill’s classic, Think and Grow Rich, I saw where Napoleon received much of his ‘leadership’ principals. He claimed to go into an empty room, and ‘invite’ the spirits of great deceased world leaders into the room around a table, and he would ask them questions. They would come, and I am convinced these ‘spirits’ were none other than ‘familiar’ demon spirits, devils that had operated in times past through the very people they now represented at that table. His leadership principals are pretty good though, I wrote an article on them, analyzing them Biblically: https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2013/12/29/leadership-the-fate-of-the-world-depends-upon-it/

God hates this practice, and expressly forbids it in His word. Just because we receive knowledge supernaturally, does not make it from God –

1 Corinthians 10:21

Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils

God commands us to stop messing around with demons.

2 Corinthians 6:17

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

There are many good books on exposing how these demon spirits work, the one I like the most is ‘The Bondage Breaker’ by Dr. Neil Andersen.

Isaiah 52:11

Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the Lord

Just because someone is in ministry, and operating supernaturally, does not mean they are receiving ONLY from the Lord. I have seen ministers that are ‘in the Lord’ at one moment, then operating demonically the next.

Peter did it, and he walked in the very presence of Jesus on the earth! (Matt 16)

I am not going to write a long article on this, there are many great books already written. Contact me if you would like a reading list.

Let’s pray:

‘Father, Jesus said I would hear His voice, and that You would direct my life supernaturally by Your Word and the Holy Spirit. In every area that I have received or am listening to demons, instead of you, please reveal it, so I can repent. Please forgive me, and my family for ancestral worship, and allowing demonic spirits into our geneology. I receive Your forgiveness, and plead the blood of Jesus over my family. By faith, I renounce every devil operating there, and command it to go. By faith, I break every generational curse upon our bloodline, and declare the Jesus has redeemed us from the curse. By faith, I loose the blessing of God into my family, and declare that as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, and Him only. I ask and declare these things, knowing I am heard and answered, for I ask in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

 

Wealth – Gods Way

Gen 26:12 When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted, for the Lord blessed him. 13 He became a very rich man, and his wealth continued to grow.

I see a couple life principals in the life of Isaac that help me this morning:

1. He honored God. He prayed, obeyed, and sought God for direction. In the natural, this was a dry year, a year of famine, but because of supernatural direction, In the natural, it appeared to be good business sense to go down to Egypt, and he was obviously thinking about it. Yet, He prayed, and renewed the covenant his family had with God, and God told him to stay in Gehar, and not to go down to Egypt. Isaac planted his precious seed, worked his field, and received a bumper crop that year.
   

2. He honored his parents. All his life, he served and obeyed his dad Abraham, and learned the principals of love by which he operated. Abraham had 400 employees, so while we know him as the father of faith, he is also a leader with great integrity and responsibility. We know he is governed by love for his people, as demonstrated by the way he handled the conflict over well water with the herders. He didn’t end the conflict by digging more wells, not with the sword, though he was a warrior and could have surely handled it that way.
   
3. Though I said it in point one, I say it again. He worked. While waiting for a woman for his wife we see him m Gen 24:63 One evening as he was walking and meditating in the fields, he looked up and saw the camels coming. He understood the natural laws of the land, seedtime and harvest. He met with God in the fields, while checking and carefully guarding his crops, meditating on the promises of God after his days work. Surely he began his day with God, and now we see him ending it seeking our heavenly father. He was single at this time, and he was not a prodigal, chasing women, for he exemplified Proverbs 24:27 Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house He got his education, learned to handle the responsibility of the family business, then allowed God to add to him his precious Rebekah.
   

This is all I am going to say today, but as I  meditate upon it more, I will probably add more:

Joshua 1:8

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

 

Prosperity Gods way is not about just money. It includes wisdom to deal with your career, the ability to balance the conflicting demands of family, work, culture, employees. It includes your health, no fun having money, when you are sucking your meals through a feeding tube…

 

God is love, and He is holy. In my opening verse, we see the organic nature of God’s prosperity: Gen 26: 13 He became a very rich man, and his wealth continued to grow.

 

We grow, spiritually, academically, relationally, in responsibility, in wisdom, ‘as our soul prospers’ and lo and behold, our wealth grows too.

 

Let’s do our part, and determine to grow.

 

Let’s pray:

 

‘Father, I determine to serve You, and seek You for Your supernatural directions and provisions. I want to grow. Teach me how to take more responsibility, and to grow as an adult, learning continually academically, spiritually, financially, and becoming a loving, firm spouse, parent, and honorable member of my community. I ask that you prosper me, and bless my house, and the families of all of those I am called to serve and lead. In Your wonderful name I pray Lord Jesus, Amen.’

What is God speaking to you today?

The Creative Power of the Word of God

^{2 Kings 4:42} One day a man from Baal-shalishah brought the man of God a sack of fresh grain and twenty loaves of barley bread made from the first grain of his harvest. Elisha said, “Give it to the people so they can eat.”

⁴³ “What?” his servant exclaimed. “Feed a hundred people with only this?”

But Elisha repeated, “Give it to the people so they can eat, for this is what the Lord says: Everyone will eat, and there will even be some left over!” ⁴⁴ And when they gave it to the people, there was plenty for all and some left over, just as the Lord had promised.

Matthew 4:4

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

2 Peter 1:4

whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Psalm 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple

John 10:27 (AKJV)

²⁷ My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

God did not create the universe from nothing.

We are so limited by sense knowledge, things we can touch, taste, see, feel, smell and hear through mere natural reasoning’s….

No, God created all material things, all life from a higher realm of matter, a substance called Spirit, for God is spirit and those who worship Him, must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Throughout our lifetime, God is pouring out His spirit upon all flesh, drawing us to Himself, and even as we have natural senses, deep within our hearts, there are premonitions of supernatural senses, as our heart of hearts, our human spirit hungers for the true realities of our Creator.

Jesus is the bridge, the only way to fully communicate between our infinite God and His Spirit, and this natural world.

Over our lifetime, the supernatural, our sixth sense so to speak, often becomes visible, as we experience dreams, divine interventions, déjà-vu experiences as the Holy Spirit alerts us to spiritual realities, to reveal the glories of heaven, should we but ask for them…

It is when heaven invades earth, that things get interesting.

In this account, we have a man of God, Elisha, walking closely with heaven, and its infinite resource. He understands not only that God is Creator, but that the WAY He creates is by speaking….

When He speaks, Holy Spirit takes from the realm of Spirit, and literal creates whatever He commissions.

While the people in this story had a natural hunger and need, they only saw natural supply and provision. There was not enough…

Yet, they spoke their natural reasoning’s in the presence of a man who had his spiritual senses alive and active!

He saw the throne of God, He heard intuitively the heart and intent of our Father for this situation: People were about to taste and see the goodness of the Lord and their natural hunger was about to be satisfied, as God spoke through Elisha, and Holy Spirit created the supply of food needed to feed everyone, completely, with no lack.

Further down the corridor of time, Jesus would perform this miracle several times, during His earthly ministry in dividing the loaves and fishes, yet His method was the same:

He saw heaven’s agenda (He only did the will of the Father), He believed and spoke what He saw, and the entrance of God’s voice, His living word into the earth, created the material provision needed.

This is how we are to live!

In tune, in step with heaven, only doing the will of our heavenly Father.

Like Jesus, seeking the will of our Father, carefully, daily, and ONLY doing and saying what we hear Him commission us to do and say.

As we do, the Bible becomes a living book, as He breaths upon its pages and passages, illuminating promises, and creating supernatural pathways for us to walk upon through the entrance of His word becoming a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our paths.

What is He saying to you today?

Speak it out!

Just like Elisha and Jesus, He will create that which He commissions you to speak.

Let’s pray:

‘Father, Jesus promised that we should not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of Your mouth.  Lord Jesus, You have promised that You would be our shepherd, our personal pastor in this life, and that we would hear Your voice, and the voice of a stranger, we would not follow. We are listening Lord, and now, we speak that which You are saying to us, and through us to meet the needs of this hurting world. Amen.

’

Be Enriched!

Mr 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Be Enriched!

1 Cor 1:5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge

Ever thought how God enriches us first by sending His Word to us, then by giving us understanding of what we just heard.

That is why praying in other tongues is so important.

Here’s how:
https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2014/11/27/is-speaking-in-other-tongues-of-god/

https://chrisaomministries.wordpress.com/2016/03/05/is-tongues-initial-evidence-of-the-holy-spirit-baptism/

Both Kenneth E Hagin, and Oral Roberts prayed that they would interpret what they just finished praying in the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 14:13

Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknowntongue pray that he may interpret.

That is how Rhema Bible Training Center was begun. The way I remember the story, is that brother Hagin had just come out of prayer, to the pulpit to preach. While he was preaching, he announced that they would be starting a Bible training center the next fall, as God had commanded him to ‘go teach my people faith.’

After the service, several people approached him in excitement about the upcoming school, and he looked at them in amazement, and said: ‘I never said that!’. So, someone got copy of the service tape, and played back the recording of him announcing the school, and he exclaimed: ’This must be God, because this in not in my sermon notes, nor do I remember saying that!’

The rest is history. The whole world has been enriched by the ongoing ministry of Rhema Bible Training Center, and the myriads of graduates all around the world.

The same thing happened to Oral Roberts, when God told him to ‘go build me a university…’ He was an uneducated man, and raised, by faith, over one billion dollars over his life time. Brother Oral said the same thing, when he came up to the complex architectural, and business decisions that he had no natural knowledge of how to do. He would pray in other tongues, and ask the Holy Spirit to give him interpretation, and suddenly, he would know what to do…

1 Corinthians 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret

 

You already know what you know.

There are things you do not know, and these are all available to you in the Holy Spirit, and the Word of God.

2 Peter 1:

² Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

³ According as his divine power HATH GIVEN US ALL THINGS that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

⁴ Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

He knows more about medicine, architecture, government, business, and yes, even ministry, than any of us ever will.

Be enriched today!

Hear the Word! Pray in other tongues, speak the Word into your circumstances!

Then, He will give us understanding of what we just heard!

2Co 4:13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

Faith has a voice…Speak!

Let’s Pray:

‘Father God, I believe I receive utterance in the Holy Spirit today. Holy Spirit breath upon me, as I stir myself up on my holy faith, to pray in tongues, and to proclaim Your Word, I believe You will give me understanding of what I pray. In Your name I pray Lord Jesus. Amen’

Joh 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

Each day, as we read, we must meet with Him, for He is life!

Knowing Him, is the difference between heaven and hell, healing and sickness, heartbreak or peace, success or failure…

Today, give Him your life, for He is King of the universe.

Ac 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Call on Him today! He loves you!

Ro 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Let’s pray!
“Father God in heaven, I come to you now, and ask that You would forgive me. I choose to believe, that You raised Jesus from the dead, and Lord Jesus, I receive You now. Please come into my life, and fill me with Your presence, plan, and purpose, that I am created to live. Fill me with Your love, and may I obey, and love all those You place in my path, Amen.’
