Kingdom Prayer - Part 4

(b)  This Prayer defines the spirit in which we are to pray

It is not how loud you shout and how long you shout in prayer, but the power of revelation IN and BEHIND your shout! Two persons may pray the same prayer, but have different results. One has entered the kingdom; the other not!
Why?  
The spirit in which you pray determines whether you unlock His authority and power in your life!
In this prayer, Jesus was installing a proper mentality when we pray!
So, what should be in the back of minds when we pray?
What must our attitude be when we pray?

“Our”
  An unselfish spirit
 “Father”
 A family spirit
 “Hallowed Be Thy Name”
 A reverent spirit.

 “Thy Kingdom Come”
 A loyal spirit.

“Thy Will Be Done”
 A submissive spirit.

“Give Us Our Daily Bread”
 A dependent spirit.

“Forgive us Our debts”
 A penitent / broken spirit.

“Lead Us Not Into Temptation”
 A humble spirit.

“Thine Is The Kingdom”
 A confident spirit.

“And The Power”
 A Triumphant spirit.

“And The Glory!
 An exalted spirit

(c)   We can divide this prayer into two sets of elements

The first three elements deal with God:

• Our Father

• Thy Kingdom Come

• Thy Will be Done

These deal with God’s Glory

The second three elements deal with man:

• Give Us Our Daily Bread

• Forgive Us Our Sins

• Lead Us Not Into Temptation

 These deal with Man’s Need

• Remember the following when you pray:

• When you pray, you set God in His rightful place, then everything else flow out of it!

• All prayer is to begin with God:- His character, and nature, then the need of man – Matt.6:9-10

• God is in His supreme place, His nature, authority, holiness – and when God is first, and then prayer makes
  sense.

(d)   The first three elements show the purpose in prayer

What is the purpose in prayer?

• To hallow His Name

• To bring in His Kingdom

• To do His Will

You say: “Oh, God, I come to you in oder that your name might be hallowed; In order that your kingdom might come;
in order that your will might be done"
                                     
(e)   What is the means?

• What is the means by which His name is hallowed?

 By giving us our daily bread – our provision

• What is the means by which His kingdom is lifted up?

By forgiving our sins – our pardon

• What is the means by which His will is done?

By leading us away from temptation – our protection
As God provides
As God pardons
As God protects
Then, He consequently is exalted in His:
Glory,Kingdom, and Will
Until next time...Shaun Blignaut

The Centre of Christianity has moved

Christianity has moved by Natasha Grbich| January 2010

New Year greetings! I trust that you all had a good rest and are ready to leap into all that God has planned for 2010. I returned from the USA in early January and hit the ground running with a visit to Eshowe in Kwa-Zulu Natal. Dumile (one of our leaders) had gathered a group of ladies to fast and pray in preparation for the year. I taught on intercession and the importance of our marriage covenant with God. In Eshowe (the home of President Zuma and his wives), we stood as the Zulu people to marry the Lord and committed ourselves to be faithful to that marriage covenant. It was an awesome time!

During December I attended the meetings of the International Coalition of Apostles in Orlando, Florida. It was a good time of networking, but the session that really impacted me was the panel by the Chinese Pastors. (Copies of the DVD available from the office.) For the first time we had testimony from pastors in China about what is happening in their churches and what God is doing in the nation.I was moved to tears as they shared that it has been an honour for them to suffer for the sake of the gospel and how their suffering has qualified them to be ministers of Jesus.

Conservative estimates have the Chinese church at 100 million people. And it is not limited to the rural areas. The church is growing in the cities among business people and government officials, on the student campuses as well as in the villages. The South China Morning Post was quoted as saying that there were now more christians in China than members of the communist party! When they had finished, we all felt like we needed to be born again!

The Chinese are coming! The price they have paid in blood and suffering over the last several decades has opened the gates of the nations to them in this day. We are going to see more and more Chinese missionaries reaching nations that are no longer open to the ‘Western’ gospel. Chuck Pierce says that by 2016, China will be the leading ‘sending’ nation in the world.

Peter Wagner stated that the centre of Christianity has shifted to China and this is the sound of the voice of the church now. I was challenged and we as a House are challenged. Do we sound like the Chinese Church that humbly embraces the Cross or are we still in the old wineskin of North American Christianity that preaches a message of ‘greasy’ grace and prosperity?

I am determined that the Chinese that come to Africa find a people who speak the same language and can labour alongside them in this great continent!

Kingdom Prayer -Part 3

Kingdom Prayer by Shaun Blignaut 

(Senior Elder at Father's Heart Ministries  and function as

 Major flaws in the Jewish prayer perspective
 Matt.6:5
They are praying to be seen by men. = selfish. They make a public display in vain babblings, like pagan people.
Matt.6:8
They had this unimaginable pride to think that they can inform God of things, so our Lord comes in Matt.6:9 to reaffirm what right prayer is.
Matt.6:9-13
Here Jesus reiterates what the true ingredients of prayer were, from a Jewish tradition.

The “Lord’s prayer” is not to be recited or memorised!
Reasons:

• This prayer is recorded twice in Scripture: once in Matt.6 and once in Lk.11 and it differs in both places.

• It is substantially the same but the words are different. If the Lord is giving us a prayer to be memorised and recited, He would not have given us different words, the two times He gave it.

• In Lk.11 the disciples say: “Teach us to pray” The Lord was not giving them a prayer, He was teaching them to pray.

Jesus established a fundamental foundation for effective prayer: He was revealing essential truth to us!

• There is no occasion further in Scripture where this prayer is repeated by anybody! It is not a prayer to be made a ritual. It is a model for every prayer you ever will pray!

• This prayer is a skeleton on which you are to put “meat and bones and flesh.”

• What Jesus is giving here is a prayer outline! The basic elements of true prayer are given! You have to develop this into its meaningful expression in every situation!

Some Approaches to This Prayer

When you look into a diamond, you see different facets of one diamond as light is shone upon it at different angles:

This is the skeleton on which you can hang every prayer that you will ever pray!
This is the divine pattern for all praying!
If you will memorise this prayer or get it into your head and just work your way through it its outline, no matter what you are praying about, you will have confidence that you are praying the way Jesus taught you to pray!

Examples:

(a)   It unfolds the relationships we have with God

It says: “Our Father” – We have a “Father – son relationship” with God.

This is an expression of intimacy and worship.
It says: “Hallowed be Thy Name” – We have a “deity – worshipper relationship” with God.

This is an expression of reverence and worship.
It says: “Thy Kingdom Come” – We have a “Sovereign – subject relationship” with God.

This is an expression of willing subjection to sovereign authority.
It says: Thy will be done” – We have a “Master – servant relationship” with God.

This is an expression of trust and faith - A commitment of self and surrender.
It says: “Give us our daily bread” – We have a “Benefactor – beneficiary relationship” with God.

This is an expression that gives God the right and position of source, provider and supplier.
It says: “Forgive us our debts” – We have a “Saviour – sinner relationship” with God.

This an expression within which we plead for release from self inflicted bondage, or a release from my prison of mental and emotional trauma.
It says: “Lead us not into temptation” – We have a “Guide – pilgrim relationship” with God.

This is an expression of humility and yielded ness to His divine directives.
 Note (J.Macather)

These are not just statements we make in a casual way, but we declare it with emotion, with force, with inward conviction, with brevity, with passion, and longing.

God is Father; Deity; Sovereign; Master; Benefactor; Saviour and Guide!

We realise that in these relationships we stand in a secondary position. A position that reflects our utter dependence upon His ability to impart life and sustain our frail human existence!

Affirmation of His authority; His character and Sovereignty precedes our requests; our petitions; our requests to satisfy our needs.

Kingdom Prayer -Part 2

Kingdom Prayer by Shaun Blignaut 

(Senior Elder at Father's Heart Ministries  and function as 

an Apostle and Prophet to the Body of Christ globally)

“Listen”

means to hear; to give undivided attention; to examine the merits of a case to render a just decision.
It essentially denotes perceiving a message or sensing a sound!

Our interaction with God should be in the right spirit and attitude of heart and mind. This will guarantee that we will detect the frequency of God’s heart and decode the sounds He transmits in answer to our prayers!

“My sheep listen to my voice…”

Jn.10:27
Listening is connected with detecting the voice of Jesus.
“Listen”:
in this verse means
“to hear with attention”, “be attentive”, ”to understand”

“My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words.”

Prov.4:20
The voice is the conveyer of words.
 Listening to the voice of Jesus then is to give heed to His words.

You cannot listen effectively to Jesus if you are not positioned within His immediate presence!
 Listening to the “voice of words” suggest intimacy with the one who speaks!

True prayer is birthed out of a deep, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ!

“She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said.

But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made.”

Mary was positioned correctly!
Martha was in the presence of Jesus, but was distracted! She had a wandering mind!
Mary “sat” at the Lord’s feet!

This suggests a posture of deep rest and tranquillity!

Proper prayer demands then that you establish your heart in a position of rest in the presence of King Jesus.

Mary “listened to what Jesus said”
“Said"
is the Greek word Logos which denotes the hidden intelligence behind the words of Jesus.
The hidden intelligence behind the words of Jesus is the Father!

When you listen to what Jesus says, you then get connected to the mind of the Father!

When Jesus speaks, He releases the words of the Father to you!

WORDS! - Part 3

The Legacy of Derek Prince Teaching

Words as Propaganda

If the saints are often blind or indifferent to the significance of
words, Satan at least is not. It was with words that he procured the downfall of our first parents, and since then he has never ceased seeking to usurp the divine authority vested in words and to use these sacred instruments of God against God and against God’s
people and God’s purposes in the earth. In Revelation 16:13 we read of “three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth
of the false prophet.” The significant feature of the frog in Israel and adjoining countries is that it remains silent in the daytime, but keeps up a ceaseless, repetitive croaking during the hours of darkness. These frogs, therefore, typify as vividly as any image could that peculiar, distinctive feature of modern political methods
for which we have coined the word propaganda. It describes the ceaseless reiteration of those statements and theories that its authors desire to be believed, to the exclusion of all others.

It is this instrument of words, called propaganda, which “the rulers of the darkness of this world” have used to establish every one of the successive anti-Christian dictatorships that have marked the last hundred years of world history. Armaments, military power, secret police, all these have been subordinate to that one great verbal instrument—propaganda.

Although the forces behind such propaganda are spiritual, being
expressly called “unclean spirits,” it is—as always—through the lips of men that they must work. Therefore in Psalm 12:4 we read about men, “who have said, ‘With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own; who is lord over us?’” Such men do not know that Satan is lord over them, controlling their lips for his own purposes.

Victorious Life.

Victorious Life
by Haggai Napo whose ministry
function is a Pastor at Langa Christian Church

 We all desire to live a victorious life at certain stage, we all desire to be successful in our day to day living. Victory means progress in many people's lives and the moment people do not experience victory they feel like they have failed. However, the question is how do we succeed in life. In this article we will look at things we need to consider in order to succeed or live a victorious life.

What does it take to live a victorious life?

1. Faith

Faith is the complete trust in God that He will take care of your life and He will lead your life daily. This does not depend on how you feel and how other people feel about your situation or circumstances of life. Feelings are based on moods and the five senses of how we feel, however faith works beyond how does one feel. Onne Vegter says "In the modern world, many things work with passwords. To switch on a computer, you need a password. To draw money from the bank or teller machine you need a password." Faith is the password for a successful Christian life and living a victorious life. Faith is like a key you can use to open other closed doors in your life - it is the Master key.

There are times in our lives where you do not use any key, but a master key. Especially when times are hard, complicated and tough moments of our lives. When things seems to be falling apart and when friends seems do be dwindling in numbers. The master key FAITH works wonders in these seasons.
"Now faith is the substance of things hped for,the evidence of things not seen" Heb 11:1 (KJV)


2. Positive Thinking

There is nothing as discouraging and disheartening as people who sit and dwell on negative thinking. These people they are never solution orientated, they are constantly focused on their problems. You initiate a project the first thing they think about is how impossible it is to complete the project, where are you going to get money to run the project. They are never thinking solutions.

You want to be a winner in life, you desire to live a victorious life, teach and discipline your mind to think positively. One of the things can help us to keep thinking positively is the Word of God. The world is looking for men and women who think positively, who will remain solution orientated regardless how hopeless the circumstances can be and regardless of what people are saying about the current bad situations we are living in. Positive thinkers they have the attitude of; it is possible and it can be done. Even if it takes a long time to accomplish it all needs commitment till the matter is done.

Kingdom Prayer - Part 1

Kingdom Prayer by Shaun Blignaut

INTRODUCTION

Matthew 6: 9-13
Prayer is not selfish, individualistic, or isolated attempts at changing God’s mind to serve my
individual, selfish needs in the earth.Kingdom prayer expresses heaven’s desire in the earth.
It is corporate, community activity. It is uttered from a perspective of ‘us’, ‘we’, and ‘our’, rather than ‘me’, ‘I’ and ‘my’

• Kingdom prayer serves the common good of all.

• True kingdom prayer is never selfish, it interacts, and activates God’s purpose for the
  whole of humanity.

• Kingdom prayer is firstly God-ward, then man-ward.

• Kingdom prayer never expresses the wants and needs of man as foremost, but seeks to establish His   dominion – His right and His centrality in the universe as supreme.

• Kingdom prayer is not so much the audible, correct vocabulary in outwardly expressing ourselves to God, but the alignment of our inner-selves with His nature – the aligning of our hearts with His.

In Matt.6:9-13, Jesus is laying down a divine pattern for exchange with, and accessing eternity.

"This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from the evil one.^"

He lays down rules for:

• Earth interacting heaven

• Engaging the unseen, invisible realm – heaven

If you understand and apply these rules, you can stand in any jurisdiction of the earth and have heaven’s favourable response working on your behalf.This prayer gives you an understanding
of how God’s mind is structured and which elements in our divine exchange will move Him in response.

This prayer becomes an interface between two realms – it suggests the technology and methodology for earth engaging heaven.

God’s desire is to always progressively move heaven (spirit) to earth (soul).
 Heaven depicts the eternal realm and earth the temporal
“Your Kingdom come"

• The kingdom is the expression of His will, rule, order and government in the earth.

• The earth must be invaded with the rule and government of God.

• Heaven must impose its will and governing principles upon the earth.

• Our minds (earth) must be overwhelmed by the spirit (heaven)

• Only the values of heaven can transform the soul of man.

• Transformation of the soul is connected to the continual‘coming’ of the kingdom into the mind to possess and rule it.

• So, the governing principles of the heavens must shift the soul into conformity to the demands of the kingdom.

Matt.6:9
"This, then, is how you should pray"
here is the Greek word proseuchomai which means:
“Pray”
“to pray to God”
It embraces all that is included in the idea of prayer:

1.  To ask

2.  To thank

3.  To make request for particular needs

4.  To request

"Do not be quick (hasty, rash) with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything
before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few."

These verses describe a certain posture of spirit and mind in prayer.
These verses are not a reflection on a physical approach to God, but the inner disposition of our hearts when drawing near to God.

In “the Lord’s prayer”, Jesus is disclosing what our inner attitude should be when we come to God in prayer.
“Do not be quick with your mouth; do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God”
A prerequisite then for prayer is to “guard” the mouth and heart during prayer!
The word “guard” is the Hebrew word Samar which is first mentioned in Gen.2:15 where it relates to tending a garden, while it also carries the following meanings:

To guard a flock

To preserve

To protect

To watch as a watchman of sheep, or cattle

All these meanings suggest that when we approach God in prayer that the inner attitude of our hearts not stray as sheep off course, or our imagination runs wild like cattle unprotected from the enemy!
In other words:
“put a watchman over your attitude and mentality"
when you pray.
Do not stray into arrogance and self-righteous expressions in prayer.

 Prov.4:23
“Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life”

• We should guard our hearts as a soldier guards the city gates.
  
• Watch over your affections to prevent an invasion of foreign values when you pray.
  
• The word “guard” also means to maintain alertness and discipline as a
  soldier guarding over a castle to protect the king within.
  
• The heart is the source of all that you speak. Matt.12:34-35.

WORDS! - Part 2

The Legacy of Derek Prince Teaching

Words are Things
The two actual human languages in which God’s written revelation, the Bible, was first given to man, are Hebrew (and its sister, Aramaic) in the Old Testament and Greek in the New. There is one particularly significant fact that is common to both of these languages. In each of them there is one word—in Hebrew dabar and in Greek rhema—that can equally accurately be translated either “word” or “thing.” Only the context can show in each instance which translation is to be preferred, and sometimes it is necessary to translate in both ways to give the full meaning of the original.

For instance, the utterance of Gabriel to Mary in Luke 1:37 can equally well be translated: “With God nothing will be impossible,” or “With God no word will be void of power.” We might perhaps express this by saying, “Every word of God contains in it the power for its own fulfillment.”

This peculiarity of Hebrew and Greek, the two languages chosen for divine revelation, is no accident. It illustrates a fundamental principle of the divine nature. With God, words are things. There is no real distinction between the two. “God said, ‘Let there be light’;and there was light” (Genesis 1:3). When God spoke the word, “light,” the thing, light, came into being. “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God” (Hebrews 11:3). In sober fact, words were the only means that God used to create the whole universe.

Words are the material out of which the whole universe is constructed. It is not too much to say, therefore, that in committing to man the faculty of speech, God committed to man His own divine, creative power. No wonder that it remains the supreme distinguishing mark between man and the animals.

Words from the Heart
The Lord Jesus gave us a further insight into the importance of words when He said: “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34). That is to say, the first and fullest revelation of the contents of a man’s heart is given in his words.

The heart is the origin and wellspring of a man’s whole life (see Proverbs 4:23); but words are the divinely ordained channel through which that life shall flow and find expression.

While a man sits silent in my presence, I cannot sense what is in his heart. But when he speaks, he conveys to my senses in words what is in his heart. Words thus break down the barrier between one
human heart and another.

It is for this reason that Jesus Himself is called “the Word of God.” By our senses we cannot know God, we cannot search or understand the heart and mind of God. Creation— that is, God’s “words” having become “things”—gives us a certain witness of God’s eternal power and Godhead (see Romans 1:20), but it does not fully reveal the heart of God.

On the other hand, Jesus,manifested to our senses in human flesh, gives us the full and perfect revelation of the heart of God. Just as a man’s words convey to our senses the invisible thoughts of his heart, so Jesus conveys to our senses the nature of the invisible God. He is, in the deepest sense, the “Word of God” —the perfect expression to our senses of the heart and mind of God, which we could never fully know in any other way. Jesus, the living Word, breaks down the barrier between the heart of God and the heart of man.

Words Divine Origin
The faculty of speech, then, is of divine origin. It is something wonderful and sacred. It is not to be belittled or misused. Jesus Himself repeatedly warned us against this. “By your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:37). “Every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment” (Matthew 12:36). “Let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one” (Matthew 5:37).

Our words should be sober, accurate, pure, without exaggeration— sacred instruments used for sacred purposes. Idle words— words used in any other way or for any other purposes—are sins, to be
confessed and put away before God can restore His blessing.

It is written of Christ, “Grace is poured upon Your lips; therefore God has blessed You forever” (Psalm 45:2). Of the bride of Christ, the Scripture records:
“Your lips are like a strand of scarlet, and your mouth [or speech] is lovely. . . . Your lips, O my spouse, drip as the honeycomb; honey and milk are under your tongue.” (Song 4:3, 11)

To the church Paul commands: “Let your speech always be with grace” (Colossians 4:6). Not only does God desire, through faith, to restore to our words grace and purity. He seeks to restore·also that authority and dominion that man held before the fall but lost through sin. In Job 22:28 it is promised to the sinner who will meet God’s conditions of repentance and faith: “You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you.” That is, the decree of a redeemed sinner shall have the same authority as the decree of the Almighty God.

Of Samuel it is written, “The LORD . . . let none of his words fall to the ground” (1 Samuel 3:19). That is, the words uttered by Samuel so represented the mind and will of God that they were as sure and effectual as if God had uttered them Himself.

Joshua spoke to the sun and moon, and by his spoken words he arrested their course in the heavens for twenty-four hours. (See Joshua 10:12–14.)

Elijah said to Ahab: “As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word” (1 Kings 17:1). It is the sole prerogative of the one true God to control the fall of rain (see Jeremiah 14:22). Yet Elijah declared that the fall both of rain and of dew for a certain period—three and a half years, the New Testament reveals in James 5:17—would be under the control of his word. By his word he could withhold them, and by his word he could liberate them. Sure enough, for three and a half years no rain or dew fell. Then, by his word— spoken to God in prayer—he liberated them. Thus, in the Old Testament, men controlled, by their words, such manifestations of God’s creative power as the course of the heavenly bodies, and the fall of rain and dew.

In the New Testament, Jesus simply spoke to a fig tree, and it withered from the roots. When His disciples marveled at this, Jesus expressly delegated to them similar, and even greater, authority:
“You will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” (Matthew 21:21–22)

This double promise includes both words spoken to God in prayer and words spoken for God in any other way. Thus, it is the express will and purpose of Jesus to invest the words of His believing disciples with the same effective and creative power and authority that God’s own words possess.

If only we Christians would cease to despise and misuse these sacred instruments. If only we would put away from us all idle and unsanctified speech—foolish talk, jesting, gossip, backbiting, tale bearing and exaggeration. We would soon be astonished at the power with which our words would be invested.

WORDS! - Part 1

The Legacy of Derek Prince Teaching

“It’s only words!” . . . “What is there in words?”
How often we hear people use such expressions as these! And how false they are! The truth is, rather, that it is scarcely possible to estimate the power and significance of words. The faculty of language—that is, the power of expression in words, whether spoken or written—is one of the supreme gifts of God the Creator to man the creature whom He formed in His own image and likeness. It is one most important aspect of the likeness between God and man, which is not shared by any creatures of a lower order.

Today, after unremitting efforts to prove the theory of evolution, this faculty of language possessed by man remains one clear and unchallengeable mark of division between him and the animals which evolutionists have never been able to remove or to explain. So long as this barrier stands, the theory of evolution can never provide a satisfactory account of the origin of man.

Language Sets Man Apart
Indissolubly linked with this faculty of language is the faculty of thought and reasoning. If you wish to satisfy yourself of this, analyze the processes of thought that go on in your mind for a short period. You will find that at least eighty percent of your thinking is done in words. In fact, the more refined and subtle a man’s power of reasoning becomes, the more dependent he becomes upon language as the  material of reasoning. The simplest forms of physical sensations and desires—just those things that man shares in common with the animals—can partly be expressed by thought in forms other than language. But as we rise above this level, we find that we have no other means of expression but language. This becomes even plainer if we include under the term language the symbolic systems of logic, mathematics and music, which are in reality only specialized forms of the same general faculty. 

These conclusions about the importance of language, drawn merely from common human experience, are fully confirmed when we consider what God Himself teaches on this subject. The two supreme revelations of Himself that God has given to man are the Bible and Jesus Christ. Upon both of these, divine authority has conferred the title, “the Word of God.” Could anything give to words, as such, a higher importance than this?

Words Are Things
The two actual human languages in which God’s written revelation,
the Bible, was fi rst given to man, are Hebrew (and its sister, Aramaic) in the Old Testament and Greek in the New. There is one particularly significant fact that is common to both of these languages. In each of them there is one word—in Hebrew dabar and in Greek rhema—that can equally accurately be translated
either “word” or “thing.” Only the context can show in each instance which translation is to be preferred, and sometimes it is necessary to translate in both ways to give the full meaning of the original.

For instance, the utterance of Gabriel to Mary in Luke 1:37 can
equally well be translated: “With God nothing will be impossible,” or “With God no word will be void of power.” We might perhaps express this by saying, “Every word of God contains in it the power for its own fulfillment.”

This peculiarity of Hebrew and Greek, the two languages chosen
for divine revelation, is no accident. It illustrates a fundamental principle of the divine nature. With God, words are things. There is
no real distinction between the two. “God said, ‘Let there be light’;
and there was light” (Genesis 1:3). When God spoke the word, “light,” the thing, light, came into being. “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God” (Hebrews 11:3). In sober fact, words were the only means that God used to create the whole universe.

The Gift of Life

Christ the Gift of Life

Life is a gift that every man and woman desires to have, we all need life. However the question is how do we ensure that we live this life fully. Christ said to his disciples " I came that you may have life and life in abundance.

There are few questions I want to pose to you as a challenge and for you to think about what is Life. What is life, how do we live this life? have you find your purpose in life? Why are you living?
Christ makes it clear to his disciples that the enemy comes only to steal, destroy and kill. However He comes that we may have life. Therefore, who is your life? In whom do you live? The scriptures says in Him we live and move and have our being.

I want to present to you the most precious gift of life, the man Jesus Christ. He is the only gift that God gave out of love to humanity. He is the source of life, He is the author, the giver of life and above all He is LIFE himself. If any person wants to know the purpose of a particular thing or object, he/she must consult the creator of that thing to know and understand the purpose why he created that object. Therefore, every person can find his/her purpose in the creator of life.

The life we have in God is real and tangible through the power of the Holy spirit, Christ says the Words I speak to you they are life and spirit. Now, the Word of God in itself is LIFE. If you have the word of God you have LIFE, you have the gift of Life. Allow God to be in control of your life through the power of the Holy Spirit who He has given us to comfort, counsel and teach us and to remind us of the truth.

Life in abundance is ONLY found in Christ Jesus, this the truth that all people need to know. He is the giver of life, the source of life and all things exist because He is. Successful life is not being rich with lots of billion dollars of money in your name. Successful life is living your life to the maximum and fulfilling the purpose that God has created you for. If you miss that one, chances are you be wealthy with money yet live a sorrowful and depressed life.

Matthew 20: 28
John 5:26
John 5: 39
John 5: 40
John 6: 40
John 6: 47
John 6: 63

God has given us the precious gift of all, that is the life we are living and ABOVE everything else he gave us the very source of LIFE Christ Jesus.

Stay blessed.

The Active and Powerful Word

The Active and Powerful Word

In my last Teaching Letter (which you can read online if you missed it), we began exploring the comprehensive authority of the Word of God. We learned from Paul in 2 Timothy 3:16–17 that “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” If you want to be complete and thoroughly equipped for every good work, the source of it all is Scripture.

We also examined Jesus’ relationship to the Word—both spoken and written—and found Him to both completely support and fulfill the authority of the Scripture.

Throughout all of this, we saw that God established His Holy Spirit as His means of directing the writing and implementation of His Word. I concluded with an illustration from John of the fact that the Holy Spirit always glorifies Jesus. If you ever are confronted by spiritual manifestations that do not glorify Jesus, but give glory in some other direction, you can be sure that it is not the Holy Spirit. The supreme ministry of the Holy Spirit is to reveal and to glorify Jesus.

What Can the Word Do?
In Hebrews 4 we get an analysis of the nature of the Word of God:

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. v. 12 NKJ

 The Word of God is not dead—it is not just black marks on white paper. It is alive, and wherever it comes it brings life. It is more powerful than all the lies with which Satan has filled the world.

The Bible also reveals that man is a triune being (spirit, soul and body) created in the likeness of a triune God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). The only way we can learn to distinguish between the soul and the spirit is by the Word of God. It is the only instrument that is sharp enough to penetrate and separate what is soulish from what is spiritual. In 1 Corinthians 2 Paul says that the soulish man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are spiritually discerned (v. 14).

The Word can also divide between the joints and the marrow. This speaks of the remarkable penetration of the Word—it goes deeper than any surgeon’s scalpel or psychiatrist’s probing can penetrate. It is the only tool that takes us right into the very depths of human personality.

Somebody once told me, “When you’re reading your Bible, your Bible is also reading you.” That is so vivid to me because when I started to read the Bible, I was simply a professional philosopher. But as I went on reading I began to feel different about myself—my self-conceit, my pride, my arrogance and my intellectual assurance all began to wilt before the Scripture. And yet, I didn’t believe it at the time—but the Word was still doing its work.

You Must Receive

In 1 Thessalonians Paul is writing to believers who had responded in a wonderful way to the gospel. For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. v. 13 NKJ

What the Bible will do in us depends in part on how we receive it. When we receive the Word from God, we have access to something truly remarkable.

His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 2 Peter 1:3–4 NKJ

That is an amazing statement! God’s divine, omnipotent power has already given to us everything we are ever going to need! New Age philosophy essentially teaches that you can become a god. That is obviously false for one basic reason: God is uncreated; we are created. The created can never become uncreated. It is a deception. But we can become partakers of the nature of God as we receive and apply the promises in His Word. It is the key to our success. It is the most precious gift that God has ever given us.


Special Effects
Paul said to the Thessalonians that God’s Word works effectively in you because you believe it. So I want to look at eight effects that God’s Word can have in your life.

1. God’s Word produces faith.
During World War II, I was in the hospital for an entire year in the deserts of North Africa with a skin disease that the doctors couldn’t cure. I was a new Christian and I kept saying to myself, “I know if I had faith God would heal me.” But the next thing I always said was, “But I don’t have faith.”
Then one day Romans 10:17 jumped off the page: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” If you don’t have faith, you can get it. You don’t need to stay without it.
In the time of the New Testament, the majority of the people who could read would read out loud, even if they were by themselves. There is benefit in reading out loud because even when you hear yourself read, faith comes.

2. God’s Word is the seed of the new birth.
It is by His Word that we are actually brought into His family. Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever. 1 Peter 1:22–23 NKJ
The “incorruptible seed” is God’s Word received into the heart by faith, producing the new birth. The nature of a seed determines the nature of the life that comes from it. If you plant an apple seed, you don’t get an orange tree. The Word of God is incorruptible and the life it produces is incorruptible—it’s divine, holy, eternal.


3. God’s Word is spiritual nourishment.
Once you have been born again, you need nourishment. God’s Word has provided suitable nourishment for spiritual growth. When you are a spiritual infant you need milk:
...as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby. 1 Peter 2:2 NKJ
Many of us could testify that when we were first born again the one thing we wanted to do was read the Bible. We were born healthy infants with a healthy appetite for the one thing that could really nourish us. As we grow, we need more solid food. In Hebrews 5 the writer is telling Jewish people—who had knowledge of the Scripture from their background—what some of us may need to hear: that because of all you know, you should be doing better than you are.

For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe. But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. vv. 12–14 NKJ
To mature you need to apply the Word of God. You need to use it to recognize the forces that you are dealing with. If you don’t live actively by the Word of God, you will never be able to take more than milk. Solid food is for those who have practiced, exercised, and applied the Word diligently and regularly in their lives.


4. God’s Word brings mental illumination.
In Psalm 119, the psalmist is speaking to God and he says: 

The entrance of Your words gives light: it gives understanding to the simple. v. 130 NKJ
The entrance of God’s Word into our minds and into our hearts gives light. It is different from education. Education is not light; you can be educated and be totally in the dark. You may be seeking education, but are
you also finding wisdom? They are not the same. Education is useful, but it is not light.

5. God’s Word provides physical healing.
I say this out of my own personal experience.
Fools, because of their transgression,
And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
Their soul abhorred all manner of food,
And they drew near to the gates of death.
Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
He sent His word and healed them,
And delivered them from their destructions. Psalm 107:17–20 NKJ
These people were at the point of death, and it suddenly occurred to them it might help to pray. And God “saved them out of their distresses.”
Notice three things that God does when He sends His Word: 
He saves, He heals and He delivers. The three great acts of God’s mercy—saving from sin, healing from sickness and delivering from demon power—He accomplishes primarily through His Word.

My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20–22 NKJ

I had been in the hospital in North Africa for about seven months when I discovered Romans 10:17:
“Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” I began to look through the Scripture again with a new hope. But I had a problem. I read promise after promise about healing, but I thought, “That only means He heals my soul. He’s not really interested in my body—that’s just corrupt, it’s going to die anyhow.” But when I got to Proverbs 4:20–22, I couldn’t get around it. God says His words are “life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.” Not even a philosopher can make “flesh” mean anything but flesh.

Then I looked in the margin, and the alternative reading for “health” was “medicine.” I thought, “How do people take their medicine?” The answer often is: three times daily, after meals. Over a period of a few months, I took God’s Word as my medicine three times daily after every meal, and it gave me complete and permanent healing in one of the most unhealthy climates in the world!

6. God’s Word is the key to victory over sin and Satan.
Many of our young people today question whether it is possible to lead a pure life. Most of their educators will tell them it isn’t. But the Bible says it is.
How can a young man cleanse his way?
By taking heed according to Your Word....
Your word I have hidden in my heart,
That I might not sin against You. Psalm 119:9, 11 NKJ

I thank God that when I worked amongst African young people, I saw those words fulfilled time and time again. They were made pure and they led clean lives because they gave heed to the Word of God.

7. God’s Word cleanses us. 
It makes us holy and acceptable to Him.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. Ephesians 5:25–27 NKJ
Husbands, that is not a suggestion; it is a command! How will Jesus provide Himself with a bride who is holy and without blemish? Through the washing of water by the Word of God.

8. The Word of God sanctifies us; it cleanses us.
By the blood of Jesus’ sacrifice He redeems us, but by the water of His Word He cleanses and sanctifies us. We need both. We are redeemed by the blood that we might be cleansed by the Word.
God’s Word is a spiritual mirror. When you look into it, it doesn’t show your physical appearance, but what you are really like inside.

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. James 1:23–25 NKJ

When you look in a mirror and see something wrong, the sensible thing to do is tend to it. If your hair is out of order, you brush it. James says you need to do that when you look in the mirror of the Word of God. You need to see your spiritual self in it and act on whatever it shows you that you need to do.

If, when God’s mirror first reveals to us the truth of our own sin, we immediately act upon this revelation—repent, believe, and obey the gospel—then the next time we look into the mirror, we no longer see our old sinful nature. Instead we see ourselves as God now sees us in Christ: forgiven, cleansed, justified—a new creation. We are made to understand that a glorious miracle has taken place.

Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.Let all that you do be done with love.

The Human Personality: spirit, soul and body. Prt2

Spiritual or Soulish?

In my previous artical I analyzed the three elements that make up total human personality: spirit, soul and body. In this letter I will continue with the same theme, but I will focus on one particular issue: the relationship between man’s spirit and his soul.

The spirit of man comes directly from God and relates directly to God. In the original pattern of creation, there was a descending relationship. God moved upon man’s spirit; his spirit moved upon his soul; and his soul directed his body. Through man’s rebellion, however, his spirit was set aside and his soul took over control. As a result, unregenerate man is controlled by the three functions of his soul: the will, the intellect and the emotions.

When God reconciles man to Himself, His purpose is to restore the original order, by which He once again relates directly to man’s spirit; man’s spirit in turn moves upon his soul; and man’s soul moves upon his body. This explains the words of David in Psalm 103:1: Bless the LORD, O my soul. Through faith David’s spirit had been reunited with God and was eager to worship Him. So his spirit stirred up his soul to move upon his vocal organs to utter the appropriate words of worship.

So long as man remains in submission to God and his soul remains in submission to his spirit, man functions in harmony with God and with himself. But if at any time man reasserts his rebellion against God, his soul is no longer in submission to his spirit and the inner harmony is broken. This means that there is constant tension between the spirit and the soul.

The Greek of the New Testament has a special adjective, formed directly from the word for soul, psuche, which describes action initiated by the soul. The adjective is psuchikos. The natural way to render this in English would be soulish, but unfortunately English has not produced such a word.

Consequently, English translations of the New Testament have used a variety of different words: natural1, sensual1, worldly2, unspiritual3, worldly-minded3, without the spirit4, and a phrase, to follow their natural instinct4. English readers, who cannot get behind the translations, therefore have no way of knowing that these seven different words or phrases all translate one and the same Greek word.

Throughout the rest of this letter, I will use the word soulish. This will emphasize the tension in the New Testament between that which is spiritual and that which is soulish.
In 1 Corinthians 15:44–46 Paul uses this word three times to point out the difference
between our present body, which is natural (soulish) and our resurrection body, which will be spiritual. A soulish body is one upon which the spirit has to move through the soul. A spiritual body would be one in which the spirit moves directly upon the body, without having to work through the soul.

The cherubs, which are described in Ezekiel chapter 1, apparently have spiritual bodies. Each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go (verse 12). Again, where the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went (verse 20).

Apparently that is the type of body that believers will have after resurrection. No longer
will our spirit have to urge our soul to direct our body to make the appropriate response.
Our body will directly respond to the decision of our spirit. We will be like Ezekiel’s cherubs:
we will go directly, without turning, wherever our spirit wills to go. What glorious
liberty!

There are three other passages in the New Testament where the opposition between the spiritual and the soulish is more clearly expressed. In 1 Corinthians 2:14–15 Paul says:

But the natural [soulish] man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

For the understanding of spiritual things, the soul is dependent upon the spirit. If it is out of harmony with the spirit, the realm of spiritual truth is closed to it. How important it is, therefore, that we approach truth with the right attitude—our soul submitted to our spirit and our spirit in union with God.

In his epistle Jude speaks about people in the church who are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts. . . . sensual [soulish] persons, who cause divisions, not having the [Holy] Spirit (Jude 16, 19).

When the soul of a Christian is not submitted through his spirit to God, he becomes a channel through which every kind of carnality and divisiveness can infiltrate the church. This is the true, underlying cause of divisions in the Body of Christ.

In James 3:15 the apostle speaks about a form of wisdom which does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual [soulish], demonic. James depicts a downward slide in three successive stages: from the earthly to the soulish to the demonic.

When Christians become earthly they lose the vision of eternity. They cannot see beyond the things of this life: success, pleasure, wealth, physical health. They are only interested in what their faith will do for them in this life!

Concerning such people Paul says: If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable (1 Corinthians 15:19). Christians like that often consider themselves prosperous and successful. God considers them pitiable.

After the earthly, the next stage is soulish. To be soulish is to be egocentric, self-centered. For such people, the Christian faith is a way to get what they want out of life. They suppose that godliness is a means of gain (1 Timothy 6:5).

The soulish opens the way for the demonic. This is one main way in which demons infiltrate the church. The question is often asked: Do Christians ever need deliverance from demons? The words of James provide a clear answer. This downward slide from the earthly to the soulish to the demonic exposes both individual believers and whole congregations to the activities of demons.

In many places today the church is an ungodly mixture. No clear line is drawn between the spiritual and the soulish, and therefore there is no barrier to the demonic. Genuine manifestations of the Holy Spirit are interspersed with manifestations that are clearly demonic. As a result, many sincere believers are confused and bewildered.

To protect ourselves we must cultivate scriptural discernment. We must learn to distinguish between what is truly spiritual and what is soulish. There is only one instrument that is sharp enough to do this: the Word of God.

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)

Further on, in Hebrews 5:14, the writer states two conditions which we must fulfill in order to exercise this kind of discernment:

But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use [practice] have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

The first condition is that we must regularly feed on solid spiritual food through the study of the whole Bible. The second condition is that we must regularly practice discernment.We must be continually alert, recognizing the spiritual forces that we encounter in every situation. Discernment should be as much a part of our Christian life as prayer.

Finally, let us obey the exhortation of Paul in 1 Corinthians 16:13–14:

Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong.Let all that you do be done with love.

German Psychiatrist’s Discovery
Dear Mr. Prince:
Never in my life has this happened to me before: Stunned
by the “news” of your broadcast tape “What Is Man?” While
listening to your lecture, I saw for the first time in my Christian
life the “spiritual Hans” of me somehow elevated as if on
a chair and looking down onto the “soulish Hans” whose
monument-like appearance seemed to crumble away.
Regenerated, this spiritual part of me, the “spiritual Hans,”
has survived ever since I listened to your lecture—fueled by
the Holy Spirit—about 5 weeks ago. The “soulish Hans” of
me—in particular its intellectual and emotional areas—must
be dragged to the cross.
Throughout my life I have been on the outlook for some
clear and whole presentation of God’s Word.
You will understand that this change in my life—this being
again a “triune” human being—is about to revolutionize
even my profession. And for the first time in my life—now 45
years old—I see some good reason in having become a psychiatrist.
H.P.,
