Realise once and for all that the 'secret place of the Most High' is a place of light and not of darkness, it is a place where the river of anointing flows from the Anointed One (Christ) and our Heavenly Father into our natural lives. It is in us already!

We are meant to be translated progressively into His light as children of light through His manifest anointing while we remain focused on Him through-out the day.

Do not believe what you see in the outer world despite how difficult things may be, remain connected to the anointing through faith, prayer and worship and that state will become the focal point of your daily abidance in Lord Jesus through-out each day. He is our sustainer, keeper, healer and life giver. In the 'Anointed One' we move, live and have our new being.

Stand firm on His word and promises to discredit the liar (devil), refuse to give in to sickness, mental, emotional or physical bondage, disease etc. for the Lord has already overcome all those things for you, -He accomplished what he had to, on the cross of Calvary.

Lord Jesus wants us now to take a stand and resist lies and appearances of personal misfortunes and catastrophes etc. through trusting in Him through our new birth. The younger will rule the older worldly-carnal nature as demonstrated through various Biblical stories eg. David being anointed over his elder brothers, Jacob wining the inheritance from worldly Esau, Isaac over Ishmael, Ephraihim over Manasseh, young Joseph over his brothers etc.

This is very good news for all the oppressed, poor and captives of the world!

Lord Jesus and His anointing are one and are within our own spiritual hearts this very minute. Our salvation is here today, give the anointing your priority to live as His new creation! Stir it up and allow that which is hidden to be disclosed and whatever is concealed to be brought-out into the open" (Mark 4:21), for the benefit of all mankind.

The Gospels (Luke) tell us that His kingdom is within us and therefore it behoves us to seek it within ourselves. "Seek ye the kingdom first and all things will be added unto you." We do not have to fret over other things any longer.

The kingdom is not in some outward place, (lo it is here or there) - so do not believe those deluded shepherds who put on a show of religion and can easily lead you astray in this regard, for they are the modern day Pharisees 'who refuse to enter into it and keep others from entering in.' They were described as being the children of Satan by our Lord!

Know that the 'Antichrist' really means "anti-anointing" for "Christ" means the "Anointed One" and He came to die for our sins so that we could all share in His glory. The literal translation of Jesus in the Hebrew (Yeshua or Yaohushua) on the other hand, means "I AM which saves." Jesus Christ therefore can be translated to mean "I AM which saves through the Holy Spirit's anointing."

The parable of the 'single solitary seed that is 'smaller' than all others' is the Holy Name of the Father, "I". His "I" automatically includes "AM," think about it. We know that seeds symbolise His words from 'the parable of the sower' and thus the 'solitary seed that is the smallest of all seeds that is planted in the ground' (Mark 4:30) is the Name that everyone in heaven and earth borrows their own name from, as quoted in the Bible. It is the smallest of all words!

It is important to recognise how much power and control the devil has had over all man's religions throughout the centuries recognising also that Satan is completely helpless before the anointing of the Holy Ghost and that is what he seeks to hide from us.

I quote Matthew 16:15-18 to point out who or what His church really is: "He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

The church is built on and in the "Anointed One" (ie. Christ) of God, His Divine Nature is the 'Rock' and those who are in His anointing are His church. Climb into the cleft of that Mighty Rock for your own salvation (wholeness in every way). - Halleluyia!

Jesus is life and that life is the 'light of men' according to John. He is the light of every mind, all glory belongs to Him. That universal light (ie. of creation) is also the Divine Image in which man has been made (Genesis) and thus, it is the spiritual centre or heart in every man.

Think about this carefully, the fleshy heart is only matter and comes to an end through change as does all matter in creation; the emotional heart can only be felt with the aid of consciousness as do all other things eg. thoughts, perceptions, sensations, cognitions etc. and therefore, that light is really the life of all that we take ourselves to be. All that moves or functions in us including our minds does so, through and in the light of pure consciousness which is One with our heavenly Father's "I." Allow the anointing to flow into your consciousness in truth and an awesome power will ensure.

The Holy Spirit voiced through the apostle Paul: "All things are in Him." We are already in Him but need His grace to see this Divine Truth.

We know that to abide in the 'secret place of the Most High' is to be 'overshadowed by the Almighty' according to the Bible. This promise therefore provides us with a means or avenue to Salvation where the allurements of the world and the oppressions and yokes of self-conceit are completely negated by the Power of God. All yokes are broken by the anointing.

If you couple this new state of living in the light, walking in the light etc. (which is really an abidance in the loving surrender to "Christ Jesus" the "Anointed One") then through the law of faith the 'infusion' of the anointing of the Holy Spirit will transpire into our hearts and minds. I believe this is the allegorical meaning of Mary's immaculate conception for us all to follow.

What I believe will then occur is this: -the birth (or more precisely the resurrection) of the Lord is manifested in the believers new heart, mind and life. He or she will experience the divine birth of the 'firstborn in many brothers.' We are meant to be transformed into His very light (conscious-anointing) to become God's children of light, -Halleluyah!

We enter into the secret place of the Law of the Spirit (anointing) in Christ Jesus (ie. Spirit Anointed One) and leave the law of sin and death through loving faith in 'God's Holy Name.' (refer Romans 8) Only then, can one come to 'know' God.

Psalm 91:9-10 says: "If you make the Most High your dwelling...then no evil will befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling."

This knowing is therefore not achieved by trying or struggling in effort, but by 'being completely still' as the Psalmist instructed us and relying entirely on His grace. The Book of Exodus 14:14 also instructs us in this manner, 'Be still and let the Lord fight for you.' It is by the complete surrender of (or the non identification with) the plank of ego that is in the 'eye of the mind' in each of us, that All-Truth surfaces. Give-up that traitor that sups with you.

After Jesus arose from the dead and before He went up to heaven He instructed His apostles to wait in Jerusalem until He 'empowered them from above by the Holy Spirit." As far as the individual is concerned, 'Jerusalem, the city of peace,' is an allegory for the believer's dedicated, pure and devoted heart. His offering that is to be consumed in the Holy Fire of the Most High's Spirit.

'All-Truth' ie. the Divine Truth that our 'Lord and God fills and is in all things' (Jeremiah), is to be made available to everyone for only that Spirit given Truth can set us free. The power of the anointing frees each of us who have been captivated all our lives, the yoke of evil from around our necks will be broken by it, the blind will be given sight etc. until 'wholeness' comes. This is not our idea of wholeness but what God sees for us.

----------------------------------------------------------

While waiting on the Lord last night, it came to me that I should be
invoking Him by Name through my heart and the Name should be the one He
commanded Moses and the Israelites to use and to pass down from
generation to generation, namely, "I AM."
What could be more intimate than this Sacred Name for I believe it
represents Christ (The Anointed
One) in each believer.
I should mention that my sole intent and hope during that time was for Him
to reveal Himself to me.

Within a matter of a few minutes, two Scriptural witnesses came forward
namely, Jeremiah 23:23-24 ("Am I a God at hand saith the Lord and not a
God far off? Can any hide in secret places that I shall not see him
saith the Lord? Do I not fill heaven and earth saith the Lord?) and
Ephesians 4:10 ("He that descended is the same also that ascended up far
above all heavens, that He might fill all things.").

After this, a word came to me from the Lord which was posed as a
question: "Show me (reveal to Me) who or what you think you are!"; to my
amazement I looked to see who I thought I was and nothing could be
found. All was overshadowed by His question!
He fills all things and thus the person who I though I was, seen to be
only a notional idea, a lie, a perverted vanity. What manifested instead
was an awareness of His Presence both inner and outer, if there truly
are such places in the Spirit.

Halleluyah!

The message is "peel the layers of your dark old selves off like an onion
and His Glory will shine through."

We are created "in" (inside) His Image
"in" (inside) His Glory, we are His anointing and have been moulded in
Christ (Anointed One) and have the Mind of Christ (which is universal).
We can't even come close to imagining what all this power, beauty and grace
means.

A completely 'new life,' with its own special array of blessings will follow; 'a new and good thing' will come to you through obedience to God's Word and following His Commandments, is a clear testimony of our love for Him.

Isaiah 43:18 says: "Do not remember the former thing, nor consider the things of old. Behold I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it?"

In this regard, I believe that the global revival, which is now well under-way and of course, the individual renewals that spark each wave of spiritual renewal in the different geographic locations, will see new places of freedom being opened for the benefit of all. The Lord will continue manifesting His awesome power 'until righteousness shines as a bright light from His servants (believers) and their salvation like a lamp' (Isaiah).

John 4:10-14 speaks to us of a very important truth of the "special gift from God" which is the Holy Spirit. The indwelling Spirit needs to be experienced and known by living in Lord Jesus for through their Power, "the water that They will give us, shall be in us a well that will spring up into everlasting life."

This well of revival is an incredible 'treasure in our earthen vessels,' it is already imbedded deep in our bellies but it needs to be uncovered and then 'stirred-up.' Then it will bubble-forth into many utterances of the Holy Ghost via one's mouth. Its water can only be drunk with 'joy' according to the Bible. Joy is the spiritual bucket that captures it for us to drink.

John 7:38-9 then tells us that the bubbling forth in the well of the believer's belly, will eventually become 'rivers,' ie. plural. Those rivers are the true revival for they are our Lord and God expressing Himself through one's body, deeds, mind and emotions.

The expression of the Divine in the natural (ie. in man) in this manner, is what I understand righteousness to really be and it can only be accomplished by the Lord Himself once the 'old man (self-centred person) in the believer has completely stepped aside so that the Presence of the Lord in himself is exalted, magnified and manifested!

Jeremiah 2:13 adds clarity to all of this: "For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water."

The Lord Himself is the Fountain of Water in you!- Halleluyah! The "born again" experience through the baptism of fire is vital for one's salvation. Without the Holy Spirit we can do nothing, therefore brethren stir-up, stir-up your gift every day, -pray in the Spirit often for our God is Spirit and wants us to commune with Him in that manner! The Lord is in you now!

I also believe that 'spiritual marriages' are now being 'arranged by' God and the criteria that normally attracts two people of the opposite sex to each other will no longer apply, eg. physical beauty, sex, money and comforts stemming from various insecurities and fears, desire to have children etc. Even a longing to be loved and to love another will not suffice because all these things largely relate to the 'self-centred old person' in us, that needs to be completely purged.

The chosen partners may not have any real physical attraction to one another, there may be significant differences in their ages, their backgrounds could be rather conflicting and they may appear to be completely wrong for each other in the normal sense, however, our God and Father works with hearts and is not moved by the outward appearance of things. He has no regard for the vanity of persons and their physical forms according to the Bible, why should we?

We have asked Him to change us so that we may be like He is, therefore do not expect the norm, He will take us from 'glory to glory' provided we let Him. That is what His Word promises us. Know that the most precious Holy Spirit will not force you into anything, if you decide that the change that He is bringing to you (i.e. in a relationship or life situation) is too difficult to bear at this point in time, He will leave you where you are and wait patiently for you to call on Him when you are ready at some future time. Know that years may lapse before that time comes again. Oh Lord I seek You to change me as you see fit and not as I believe, not in conformity with traditional concepts and norms which I have continually embraced!

Spiritual partners will be attracted to each other and be compelled to enter into a sanctified union through witnessing the diverse qualities of 'holy love' (or fruits of the Spirit) in each other, eg. sincerity, righteousness, peace, wisdom, patience, mercy, gentleness, faithfulness, strength etc. What they will really perceive, are but the reflections of the Lord in each other. Because the Lord chooses to disclose Himself in this fashion to each party, it confirms that they are in His Will.

It is for His sake that the husband loves the wife and she him even though initially they may not be aware of what is happening to them.

What an awesome Love! 

I will go as far as saying that each heart will soon come to recognise the Lord's involvement in bringing them together and know that they are already united in Him. Even the customary marriage ceremony need not be pursued, for what can a traditional minister of religion add to what God has purposed and brought together already, apart from 'legalism.' Did Adam go out to seek a minister to marry him to Eve when he took her on as his wife? - I'll tell you 'no,' -that commitment is consummated by both parties before God in thanksgiving and I have a strong feeling that some of the ancient patriarchs of Judaism did likewise!

In this special type of marriage, the woman is fashioned by God from the 'hopes' in the heart of man, (that is the significance of 'the rib,') therefore when they perceive each other, they are in fact perceiving different aspects of their own self.

They are made 'one flesh' at the outset, there are not two selves. Like two magnets that become joined, one assumes the positive charge and the other the negative. This is why it is written: 'in loving his wife a man loves himself.'

Through mutual surrender to the Lord's Presence in each other, one partner will reflect certain gifts of the Spirit eg. wisdom, prophecy and the other the opposite polarity eg. charity and mercy. One will speak from the depths and the other will encompass the breadth of all things.

God unites two new (born again) hearts, intellects and wills to each other in Himself. This type of marriage occurs in one's spiritual youth under the powerful influence of the Holy Spirit and is in effect, the 'remaking of two into one' which He alone is. He removes double-mindedness, washes and refines the enlarged and enlivened heart as a spotless bride to marry and encompass His Glorious Son.

I believe He will accomplish this through the resurrection of His Firstborn Son, Who according to Paul 'will be the Firstborn of many brethren.' When the Son of God is risen-up (exalted or magnified through the Holy Ghost) in an individual life, then the Heavenly Father will also come to abide with Him there.

Through revival many people all over the world have now received the baptism of fire and an ongoing anointing from the Holy Ghost and as the Most High God begins to overshadow their old personal belief structures (which have been yoked-to or 'identified' with mortal bodies) through the fervency of 'selfless worship,' a New Child will be born in them Who carries the wholeness of the Divine Godhead in Himself. His Name is Jesus Christ - Halleluyah! -

Our hope is fulfilled, faith is finished and our joy becomes complete when Christ Jesus who is all joy, manifests Himself in us. His glorious manifest Presence will not only be felt in our midst in future, for He will manifest His Presence in us as well!

A word of warning, -do not go before our merciful God one day in thanksgiving and praise for what He has gifted to you for all your tomorrows and then the next day, show signs of regret and find your are in utter despair because you have second thoughts about the whole arrangement. This 'inner storm' can only transpire if one looks back to yesterday (and its array of desires and fears), which is what the Lord demands of you. It shows that one's faith is not firmly rooted. Lots wife did this in disobeying her husband in looking back at the destruction of Sodom and was turned into a pillar of salt!

To receive the new promise, the old way must be completely forgotten!

How easy it is to say that we are prepared to offer 'all that is within us' to our Lord and then when we encounter a 'test of faith' which is 'always' given for our good anyhow, we quickly fall apart and forget our pledges made to God during a time of worship. How can we say 'Your Will be done on earth' if we wish to continue to exercise our old personal wills at the same time? No one would normally do this to a minister of religion if he or she married them in the customary way. How can anyone be that bold before the Living God!

John 14:21 defines to me that it is in 'obedience to the Word of God' (whether it arises inwardly or is take from the Bible) that our love to the Lord is justified:-

- Halleluyah!

I'll tell you, -more often than not it is self-condemnation, the voice of the accuser in our minds that causes us to err for selfish reasons. The devil is a liar, he is the spirit of error. Don't take-on his thoughts and concepts for your own for he aims to trip-you-up before your Maker. 'He thinks like man thinks' ie. conceited, proud, arrogant, greedy and is therefore always self-seeking, ie. glorifying himself.

Satan aims to take every heavenly gift that you have received away from you, by taking you back to your old ways, to your beliefs and desires of yesterday! He fights cunningly undercover, to redirect devotion or love that would normally be directed to the Lord from within your 're-formed heart,' back onto vain worldly things.

Satan is the universal ego whose vile image we once reflected as our own carnal-self-conceited-selves (or lower natures). This is why Scripture warns us repeatedly about 'persons' eg. "To have respect of persons is not good." (Prov. 28:21). - It is the opposite of what is good, to life and to truth.

All of a sudden one partner may enter into places of doubt and believe that they need to 'test the spirits,' in their spouse and this turmoil will likely enter the woman as in the case of Eve. Why? According to 1 Corinthians 10, the woman was created for man for she is of the man and needs to maintain a 'covering of power' on her head from her husband even out of respect for the angels. She cannot do this (ie. obtain a crown of understanding) if she still wants to retain personal independence, she cannot be a living sacrifice, nor is there due reverence to the husband as commanded by the Lord. In obeying him she obeys the Lord.

All this is similar to the man who is meant to surrender all to the Lord to receive direct guidance and empowerment from Him.

A wife is meant to learn at home and thereby cover herself in the wisdom, which her husband receives from the Lord. It is transmitted naturally onto her through him, God has made it that way.

Your partner is a child of God and not an evil spirit. This Biblical instruction is meant to be applied to our own wavering minds and not to others, to do otherwise, one risks entering into the judgement of others and that is not our role for there is but One Judge.

If you can discern when you have been attacked, then you can help others, otherwise it will be a case of the blind leading the blind. Rather, turn away from evil entirely and seek to serve the Lord's Nature in your spouses and in your brothers, sisters and neighbors. Love your neighbors as your own self. Even your enemies are to be included in that love according to our Master.

Look into peoples hearts in goodwill seeking to reach out to their faith, understanding, love etc.

The entire day can become a time when you can commune with the Lord unceasingly, even in the performance of your normal duties. The Lord works in you continually to keep you alive, aware, healthy, growing etc. and thus already abides in you. Serve Him, exalt Him, magnify Him, bless Him with all your thoughts, deeds, emotions and you will 'abide in Him' through love. This kind of love 'covers all sins.'

Like Jacob, do not let go of His sacred Name during the day, wrestle to hold on to it as though your life depended upon it!

Look past or through the many masks (personas) around you, in order to serve the Real One in them all, Who alone is worthy to receive all your works, efforts, sacrifices, praise and worship. He Who fills all things in creation (Jeremiah) will have to respond to you even as a Divine Person, if you take this direct way through the grace of the Spirit of Truth!

Remember it is not how we use the Holy Spirit but rather, how much we yield ourselves to Him so that He may perform His Will through us unhindered!
 

After a real born-again experience, one does not voluntarily seek to commit sin and provided he or she remains lovingly-committed to the Lord, they are protected by the Holy Spirit from doing so, for through the power of love they are then 'justified in Him.' In fact one will 'fear' being distanced from the Lord and will increasingly come to detest evil, arrogance, conceit and pride, which their old self-fulfilling natures were all about:

As the apostle Paul testified in 1 Corinthians 6:12, 'all things can then become lawful to you, however please note that for the sake of others around you who do not have an understanding of these things, they may not be expedient.' Control, discretion and temperance are necessary, otherwise one can also find themselves back under the control of what they unwittingly freely indulge in. "

A 'spiritual revival' (ie. meaning: 'a revival that is brought about by the Holy Spirit') is given mercifully to the captives of the world to free them to construct the House of God on both the internal and external perspective's.

The Book of Nehemiah specifies that fifty percent of the Jews constructed the walls and temple (under the powerful anointing of the Spirit) while the other fifty percent, guarded them from devious people with weapons in hand. Please note that the workers also had weapons by their side in readiness for any attack from the outside.

The Word of God is our powerful weapon.

It is interesting to also note that eventually, 'even the wives and children of these dedicated Jews who had separated themselves from people of the land to embrace the Law of God had knowledge and understanding.' - Halleluyah. (Nehemiah 10:28)

Children of all ages were given understanding, think about this!

The dual role is also brought-out in Ephesians 6:18: "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for 'all' saints." -We are meant to safeguard not only ourselves from error, but also our brethren as though our own lives depended upon it.  

If our hearts have been blessed and have entered into the consuming fire of fervent worship, it is also imperative that at the same time, our attention is to be made 'circumspect' (ie. a 360 degree vision) to catch all devious thoughts that will try to gain control of our minds to disrupt the holy work. 'Each day is evil, therefore redeem the time' (Ephesians 5:16), each day brings its own array of thoughts which are generally self-centred/self-fulfilling and thus are evil. Sufficient are the thoughts that today has brought to you, do not take any thought for tomorrow nor for yesterday.

Be aware that 'our own persons' (egos) are the real traitors that work from within our faith and trust, they are like Judas amongst the twelve apostles. Our egos are 'proud horns' affixed to 'animal bodies' that need not only to be humbled but 'completely' discarded. The Word tells us to: "Put off the old man which is corrupted by deceitful lusts and put on the new man which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." Ephesians 4:20-4

Know that our persons live in the lustful concepts and instincts of the flesh, in concepts of possession for the benefit of one's own 'self-made-image' and they are all allied to the universal powers of darkness. These old personal belief structures are the old tribes of the land that are heathens ie. unbelievers who do not, nor can ever know God. This is why Jesus 'did not accept the person of any,' and 'teaches the way of God truly.' Luke 20:21

It is through the self-imposed curse of 'self-glorification' in ignoring our Living God (ie. through personal ignor-ance) that we are made captive and live in dark pits of self-pride and condemnation, worry, depression, fear, weakness, timidity, shyness, laziness, hate, anger, etc.

Our fight is 'not with flesh and blood,' not with people seen as being mortal body forms says Paul, but with principalities (principles, ideologies) and powers, against the rulers of the darkness (ignorance) of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high (subtle) places. These generate the vain imaginings in our minds and hearts to 'veil' the Presence of the Lord from us.

We have been programmed by evil to look-on and be captured by the 'outward appearance of things (i.e. forms/imagery),' whereas, the 'Lord sees not as men see and looks on the heart.' 1 Samuel 16:7

God's thoughts are not like our own. The thoughts that we posses as separate-knowers or independent-thinkers and persons are manifested mentally and all relate to the vain self.

God is Love and expresses all things in that Glorious Language of all languages.

Fight back against the subtle voices of doubt, self-condemnation, beliefs of ineptitude and weakness from the devil with the Promises of Life contained in God's Word; fight back using the cross and Blood of Jesus; fight back using the Power and Authority in His Exalted Name! Do not believe the lies of common thoughts in yourselves and in others for an instant, for to do so, is to allow evil to penetrate through the wall of grace that you guard.

Self-denial always forms an integral part of true worship! Our persons must become weaker through complete surrender, while He increasingly becomes stronger in us.

Both the builder (worshipper) and the spiritual warrior need to devote (i.e. offer or place) their 'entire lives and efforts' to further the holy work not only for themselves, but for their brethren as well. Then the wind of the Holy Spirit will blow on the fire that He has started in peoples' hearts to fan and spread it into other fields.

Christian churches 'at this time of the end' should also be splitting their congregations into two camps in order to construct the walls of protection from 'personal ideals, judgments and beliefs.' This posture will work both on the individual and collective levels. Evangelise in twos!

One camp should specialise in focusing and raising-up the 'living stones' (devoted hearts) through worship from glory to glory using song, prayer, intercession, healing etc. while the other should focus on the Power, Judgments, Promises and Authority in the Word of God. The strong foundation has already been laid and it represents the gospels of the apostles of Jesus.

Evangelists, prophets, healers etc. will be raised up from within your own company and many miracles, signs and wonders will ensue if due reverence is maintained when the Holy Presence and His anointing is manifested in your midst.

Dedicated workers are meant to ultimately 'lengthen the walls' until they encircle their respective nations.

If the work is not split in two, the 'Lord's joy and peace' (the allegorical meaning of 'Judah and Jerusalem' respectively) will be taken from you, making you labor in vain. The 'walls of grace' need to be raised high and to be built strongly.

All the springs of living waters come from His Temple (heart) in the City of Jerusalem (Psalm 87:7), His fountain of eternal life will spring forth from the revived-rock (heart).

The immediate locations where meetings occur, become His Church, regardless of whether it is in someone's home, in the local park, at a football ground or at the beach.

Proclaim each location as being holy and dedicated to Lord Jesus. Raise a banner there in the Name of the Most High God and Father of us all and His Anointed Son.

We are meant to posses the land progressively, raising-up living, moving, ever-expanding walls in all directions, in each nation. We are meant to force evil onto our shores (where terrestrial things have their beginnings i.e. our five senses) and there defeat them and cast them into the ocean of forgetfulness for all time.

The Lord is our Defense and Salvation, He is also the builder of the Holy Temple.

There are numerous references in Scripture to tell us that worship should be directed to the 'Lord's Name' because we cannot even come close to imagining Who or What our God is really like. To try to do so would only place limitations on the Limitless.

It is only through the grace of God's Own Manifold Divine Nature as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost that we receive some of that glorious wisdom.

Therefore, build your temples unto His Name wherever you gather yourselves, for that holy Name will come to be glorified both corporally in your cities, nations, across the globe and most importantly, in individual hearts as well.

Pastors and ministers are meant to be priests unto the Lord and to be true servants of the people that 'He directs' to them, not administrators, managers of money, organizers of social functions, judges etc. These things are all robbers and are like the traders of material wares in the Lord's Temple at the time of Jesus. You all know how infuriated He was with them!

Know that there is only One High Priest for us all and He is Christ Jesus, -drop your associations to denominations of difference which attempt to reach out to Him through traditional worldly avenues. True religion is in charity (unconditional love) and to keep oneself unspotted from the world! (James)

The holy work of building and defending the progression of work in a spiritual revival or renewal, requires one hundred percent focus and dedication.

Follow in the steps of the Lord and He will provide you with a 'bright sparkling net' to fish and catch all the different types of vain idiosyncrasies in men (intellects). Fish represent the creature or fleshy attachments and aspects in us. When those things have been purged, the purified fish represents the Lord's Church or Body.

The Lord's 'Net' is the thread of creation the very fibre of the firmament of every manifested form. His Net is the Perfect and Just Law from which all the commandments and statutes of God originate. God's Law is Divine Truth and It traps all pretensions and vain imaginings, carnality, pride, conceit which are egotistical, and cannot escape from it. Untruth cannot stand in the Light of Truth.

Our Lord is All Giving and through His Magnificent Law, whatever persons choose to embrace in thoughts, desires and imaginings, He will bring their respective fruits to them. Beware, for if one dwells in negativity, insecurities and fears they will often become his or her reality. Break these strongholds of suffering!

A disciple of Christ is meant to sow in the 'spiritual' to reap all that is carnal and untruth (ie. is a lie) in people: "If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?" 1 Corinthians 9:11

The Perfect Law ensures that each person reaps what he or she sows, that each lives in their own imaginings and conceits, in the fruit of their thoughts and deeds. It is no wonder then 'that we are instructed not to judge our brethren for to do so, is to judge the Law.'

Many 'think' that they can judge other people (when they freely criticise, slander, gossip etc.) but really, they are judging the 'just effects' in which other people find themselves in through the Law.

Those effects may be pleasant or unpleasant to all concerned and we are directed by the Bible to see through them, using wisdom and compassion.

We are never meant to glorify or justify our own selves or lower natures (persons) one iota through the power of the Word nor through our deeds, the Book of Job centres around this very point but rather, to always glorify and honour our Living King. He alone is worthy to receive all praise, for 'He is our new life, our joy and righteousness:'

Do you still not know that Jesus lives in you?  

Oh Lord Jesus thank You for showing me that You hear the cries of my heart and sometimes answer my prayers before I have even asked You for help. Furthermore, I admit that I cannot begin to comprehend the depth and breadth of Your Goodness, which provides all things for me without even knowing about it. Salvation is from You and is You for God's Word proclaims: "You are our salvation and life." We can never accomplish any good thing as a result of our own doing, ie. without You.

Oh God and Father, thank you for showing me that I have been clinging onto a vile thing that is subtle, vain and deceitful. That I have grasped onto a 'lie of self' that is a deadly serpent and have been mesmerised by it all my life. You have shown me that it is sin itself and will cause me to die if I do not kill it.

I thank You my Lord for I know that it will be removed from me by the power of the Cross of Calvary. This was even symbolised to the ancient Jews by the brazen serpent that Moses erected on a pole to save his 'ungrateful and murmuring' people, who were bitten by deadly vipers.

Oh Lord thank You for showing me that You never tempt me but rather, the tribulations which are now heavily upon me, are but the results of my heart's vain imaginings, the fruits of my past thoughts, words and deeds. Your Law is perfect and just, for each individual surely reaps in the manner and substance that he or she has sown.

Thank you Lord for your Holy Presence and Comfort during these ongoing trials, You are my Faithful Shield in time of trouble.

I now understand that You are prying open my fingers one by one in order to release that evil from my right hand and that I cannot really take hold of Your Glorious Hand to walk with You, unless untruth and ungratefulness are 'completely discarded' by me.

I will not struggle against You my Lord, I will trust in You completely and not look back on my yesterday's as the ignorant Jews did prior to the reign of Hezekiah when they 'offered incense to the brazen serpent that Moses had constructed' (2 Kings 18:4).

I cannot add one centimetre to my height by taking thought for it, nor even add a single hair on my head for it is through Your Grace alone that I live, see, think and breathe for You are the Life of my life and my exceeding good fortune. You are my joy, the praise on my lips and the love of my life, in You my Glorious Lord and God, I have my being.

Conversely, thank You Oh Lord, for disclosing to me that 'ungrateful murmurings' are a deadly poison which leads my spirit into self-love, conceit, pride, vain imaginings, degradation and death; -the pestilence of this current age.

My Lord Jesus, I thank You for clearly setting us the example for the need for 'thanksgiving' especially when performing miracles eg. when You multiplied the loaves of bread for the multitude; -even Your apostles were amazed that thanksgiving was enough to unleash the awesome Power of the Holy Spirit.

Similarly, when Lazarus was raised from the dead thanksgiving was again the key; when you made 'whole' the one 'thankful' leper out of the ten and even at the Last Supper, You gave thanks to Your Heavenly Father for the terrible cup that You were about to drink for us. (Matthew).

Jesus, You did not need to rebuke the devil nor need to plead to the Father for the miracles to occur, but what you did was to simply 'thank Him for always hearing You.' You knew that He was and is in You and You are eternally in Him. You knew that His Divine Will was being fulfilled through You, thus a 'simple acknowledgment and a demonstration of gratitude for His Presence,' was all that was needed to unleash His miraculous power.

Even the disobedient Jonah entered into 'thanksgiving' in his time of dire trouble in the whale's belly and it spewed him out because of it.

'Thank you' in Spanish, Italian or French is 'gacias, grazi, and merci' respectively, they all mean 'Grace.' The Holy Spirit anointing brings on thanksgiving and praise automatically.

The inner tabernacle in ancient times had only one door and that was to the east around which, the tribe of Judah (Yaohudah, meaning 'praise') encamped.

The tabernacle is Pure Unconditional Unfathomable Love, It is the Father Himself and its entrance is through the courts of joy, which are arrived at through thanksgiving, praise and fervent worship.

He has arrayed the lilies of the field with splendour and we cannot even imagine what He has prepared for us who love Him!

The camel is symbolic of a spiteful spirit, a rebellious murmurer, complainer and one who is ungrateful (or forgetful) of undeserved blessings. Even though a camel is
cared for with proper feed and water, it can easily turn and spit in its owner's
face. It can become downright belligerent and lazy when it comes to working
for its master.

The description closely resembles the characteristics of the Jews circling
round the desert for 40years after leaving Egypt when the journey could have been completed in some 11 days.
It is also representative of modern-day believers who murmur while clinging onto their old-selves, ways and beliefs while trying to get ahead spiritually. It just will not work that way for we are given the analogy of how difficult it is for a rich man (in the natural) to enter into the kingdom of heaven, even compared to the camel (which was heavily laden) and had to pass through an eye of a needle (meaning a narrow or very tight entrance or gate-way leading into a town).

At least the 'camel-believer' in this 'time of the end' can choose to be led by the Holy Spirit while on the narrow pathway (earthly life in the Spirit of Christ) even though it continues to carry a heavy load or baggage of its sinful past (flesh) for some time during its learning period. By doing so however, it will stumble and suffer needlessly.
The camel (symbolic of the stiff-necked/stubborn-believer) will however, have to lose its
old load willingly in order to enter into the gate of God's kingdom for the Scripture says: 'the stiff-necked who has been rebuked many times will taste death." (Proverbs)

There is no looking back on old ways if one wants to receive the prize, for
even the generation of Jews that left Egypt all died before entering into
the Promised Land (with the exception of two people?).
Note: the fact that the camel has 'been given' the ability to carry/conserve
a large capacity of 'living water in its belly' is not enough to guarantee
that it will 'complete' its intended journey which is meant to end passed
the gate and in the city of rest. Its mind needs to be reformed to pass
through (overcome) the limitations of the world.

"Enter His gates with thanksgiving and enter into His courts with praise."

Thanksgiving, faith, trust obedience, praise, fear and love of the Lord put
us on His highway and then there is no room to care for (to carry) the old
load of junk of logic, reasoning and old beliefs (which is dung according to Paul) around with us where ever we may go.

His yoke is gentle and his load is delightful.

To 'walk with God' is to allow Him Who is within us, to direct our steps, our desires, thoughts, will, aspirations and purpose for living. We give up our old natures and are filled by His Holy Spirit.

It is to stand aside, to remove all inner barriers and allow our Lord to shine forth as righteousness, via the expressions of love, mercy, kindness, faith, judgement and wisdom through us.

Worship through one's self-denial, is the magic key to Wholeness. By giving up his life for Christ, he gains it!

One day while looking after a mentally and physically disabled Sri Lankan man, a thought came to me that he should know what 'faith' means.

I opened his Sri Lankan/English dictionary to that word and asked him to read it.

'Hmmm' he said, 'faith means to be true, honest, to be loyal, to trust in another.'

I asked; 'do not all those things mean that they are an expression of love?'

He smiled as said, 'yes, yes.'

Faith is the "seed of Divine Love" planted in us by our Heavenly Father and which needs to express its full potential.

Faith is the Lord Himself living in the human heart waiting to be fertilised by His Word.

Faith is not a random or haphazard experience for it is tied to Divine Law. (Romans 3)

It is written: "faith comes through hearing and hearing through the Word of God." Many people overlook what 'hearing' really means. Hearing is spiritual understanding. Though many have ears they do not hear!

The word leads to understanding and understanding leads to faith, which works within the realm of the Law of the Spirit (anointing) in the Anointed One, namely Christ Jesus.

Faith is therefore the fragile thread to our own anointing by the Holy Spirit. It needs reinforcement daily or it will snap and it is often strengthened through one's trials and tribulations. It needs to be tied to works which are Biblically enforced by ignoring the situations, events and conditions around you. It requires that each stands in their belief based on the promises of God contained in His Word.

The 'anointing' is what frees the captive, heals the sick etc. and brings wholeness in the Lord.

I will go a little further in this regard praying that darkened minds may receive some brighter illumination: -

The Word is God, hearing or our understanding of it through the Holy Ghost is God, faith is God and our works done in faith are also God. Then only are works righteous but realise also, there is only One Who is Righteous who is Christ Jesus, thus those works are also but expressions of His Power.

Let your Lord and God become your all in all for He deserves no lesser glory, we are nothing and He is everything.

We can do all things through Christ (the Anointed One) which (ie. His anointing) strengthens us.

God said "I AM" and He became all things. Abiding within His creation He is the faithful and true Witness, the "AM"- of the Eternal "I." The Book of Jeremiah tells us: "Do I not fill the heaven and the earth?" ie. He is the essence of all manifested existence in creation, ie. all things that are visible to us in the natural (including ourselves).

The creative reflection of His All Knowing Nature known to us as creation is the expression of His Divine Will. It is contained in His Word (IAM) and that glorious Word is also His only begotten Son and the very Soul of creation, for He is the Light of all things. Our Lord and God is the glorious day and the star speckled night, in fact, mother nature is His majestic robe.

Oh my mind find your rest in Him Who is within you, undress yourself of all your erroneous notions of being a son of man, a carnal creature who seems to think, feel, know and perceive material things as a separate carnal being.

Oh deluded mind, merge into the holy light within you into pure consciousness which witnesses and enlivens even these human iniquities of yours that leads to sin and death.

The life which you possess is not really your own.

The Hand of God is His All Knowing Spirit Whose Divine Nature and Power is the creative manifesting energy generated by Divine Love and Truth.

The Spirit works with God's Almighty Arm, which is the Divine Will, the Word and His Son.

It is the Holy Spirit Who re-fashions the devotee's heart giving him or her a second birth from within the anointing of His Own Nature of Love. He transforms the seeker's intellect and heart by giving him or her a sight of His Own Vision of Self-Awareness. That vision is Divine Truth and Love and is known as the Kingdom of Light.

God's children are first lifted-up by His Hand to higher levels of consciousness and joyous spiritual experiences of being, until they are caught in the embrace of His Almighty Arm Which is Christ Jesus and then through Him, are taken into the Loving Heart of our Most High Father Himself.

Allelu-yah.

Truth, Love, Life and Salvation are in the most exalted Name of 'Christ Jesus.' He is known as "Yeshua" in the Modern Hebrew; the Arabs call him by the name of "Isa." Hinduism has named the "Lord Ishwara or Isha" and Judaism (Hosea 2:16) also recognises this name as "Ishi," (meaning Divine Husband). From the beginning, the human heart was meant to be His chaste and faithful bride.

In the heavenlies at the level of universal consciousness, he is called "Emmanuel," ('Emmanu-ul' meaning: "The Creator (UL) is with us,") however, even before creation, He was with God and was God as God's Almighty Word known as "Amen."

Isaiah 65:16 says (New English Bible) "He who invokes a blessing on himself in the land shall do so by the God whose name is Amen, and he who utters an oath in the land shall do so by the God of Amen."

God the Son in His sublimity (transcending creation and human comprehension) is named 'Amen.' There is no mistake about this and John also confirms His Holy Name: "These things saith the "Amen," the faithful and true Witness, the beginning of the creation of God." Revelation 3:14

Without even knowing it, many peoples of the world from every creed and tradition worship the same Lord and God for there is no other.

Can the creative Will of God ever be separate from His Divine Self?

Can God's Divine Nature of "AM" ever be separate to His Holy name of "I?"

God the Son is therefore, always One with the Father whose Name in the pure Archaic Hebrew language is "YAOHU." In that language, the Name of the Messiah is YAOHU-SHUA, which means: 'I AM SAVES.'

The Father's Holy Name of "I" has been glorified in His Son and is reflected as His majestic creation.

Do we not also associate all our own characteristics and qualities to our own names eg. Peter Smith, Mary White, etc. and live within an assumed identity known as our person. It is no wonder why God has "no regard for persons" for each of us have justified ourselves, with His Name of 'I AM.'

Oh it is the original vanity to fabricate a personal idol around His Holy Name in the form of a creature and to make other idols of jealousy, hatred, pride, greed and lust to serve that "evil inside our own homes." We venerate vanity in its own self-centred conceits and this is to take all that is evil as being good and all that is good as being evil. We venerate 'Baalim' (created empty, lifeless, things and images) rather than the Creator and having Him as our "Ishi," our eternal Husband.*

Deny yourselves if you are to pursue Divine Truth otherwise you will not give up the worldly idols; fill your hearts and minds with the consciousness of His Holy Name at the exclusion of all else and It will be glorified in His Divine Nature in you.

It is a grace to possess and abide in the 'consciousness of His Name unceasingly,' for that special blessing commands His Presence as well. Love and Truth are manifested to bring the joy and fulfilment of His Will for us. To live fulfilled in God's Will is to be His eternal child.

Know that your princely soul is all peace, life (consciousness), truth and love 'in' the glorious reflection of the King's Only Begotten Son.

Be aware that he who is offended is no better than the one who offends him. The former constructs security fences around himself to ward-off future hurts but in doing so, he imprisons himself in a sticky-mire of fear and self pity and is then poised to offend others.

Is man's lower nature (self) something that needs comforting, relief or protection or, is it something that needs to be tried, weakened and then purged from us so that the Glory of one's Higher or Spiritual Self can shine through in the manifested power of mercy, compassion, holiness and righteousness etc? Christ Himself is indeed that Higher Nature in man for 'He is the Head of every man' (1 Corinthians11:3)

1 Corinthians 11:7 then goes on to say: "For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man." Please note that this statement supports that Christ is in fact the Image and Glory of God and we are meant to share in That Image- hallelujah! We cannot do so until will take the covering of the self-image we have made for ourselves from our heads.

Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you for they are instruments in the hand of the Almighty and work unknowingly on His side to liberate you into His Kingdom of joy. Obedience to God's commands leads one to the justification of Divine Sonhood.

Once you have prayed for those who continually offend you, let them go, for the Lord never intended that they should live with you indefinitely in your thoughts and emotions like deeply imbedded thorns. Rather, the external thorn is used to remove the internal one and then both can be discarded.

The wise free themselves from all personal anxieties and attachments so that they can then soften their hearts with devotion. The Lord shines through those purified hearts into the world as rays of unconditional Love.

Those who are poor, meek, lame, blind or physically and mentally afflicted are therefore very close to the Lord's Heart and present the rest of us with a means to be quickened spiritually, but woe to those who take offence in the Lord, for they bury themselves in dark pits of suffering even now.

How does one talk to the One Who is the source of every thought even before words are spoken and Who is the essence of love in your devotions.

The human mind and heart of man are unworthy and helpless hands before Him.

Most prayers are vain because they centre around pride and selfish desire. Rather, allow the Holy Spirit to advocate and intercede, for only in Him is God's Will known to His initiate.

God's noble purpose for thee can only be known, in the loving murmuring of His Own Eternal Sound. Even the method of self-surrender was written for thee, before you came to be.

Oh disobedient Eve thou art the first woman, the handmaid of the Lord, the mother of all the living, what is that solitary seed that God initially planted in you that bruises the head of the evil serpent named, 'Deception?'

Cursed are you now oh heart for deception continually strikes at your heel and causes you to fall in your walk.

Of what possible use are the natural seeds of your man Adam then both partners live in places of suffering and toil?

A part of the curse that has come upon you is that 'your desire will be for your husband and he will rule over you.' No longer will you be able to discern the Lord in him, nor will he be able to do so in you! You have chosen to live as shells.

Oh unfaithful heart thou hast been given the promise of delivering a child of Joy into the world to fulfil thy own barrenness?

Rise up to praise thy Maker for you have been impregnated with the seed of faith that yearns to grow and blossom into the many brilliant flowers of Love.

Turn away from your vain imaginings for you are to be exalted into the Lord's Kingdom of immortality, through your child named 'Devotion.' That holy child will save its mother!

We are blind to the higher spiritual truths because what we normally perceive is akin to a world appearing in a dream and our persons with their apparent physical forms are ready participants therein. The dream is thus itself the veil.

Each personality considers itself to be a 'subject' because he or she reflects the identity of the Creator as 'I.' Every material thing is manifested from subtle (spiritual) levels to the to gross (physical) from His Knowledge, for He is Pure Abstract Intelligence and is the All Knower.

We are therefore blind to Truth and our worldly efforts have been futile.

Can the image of one's past memories whose proud head is fashioned in the shame of ignorance or untruth and is embodied in covetousness, greed, lust which are all desire, ever produce an action which is right before the Lord?

Every person lives in a conscious field of manifested knowledge (object forms) and sees themselves separate to others and their Source which is God. Each person lives in the beliefs of past conclusion and notions, within a doctrine of difference which has become ingrained in humanity since Adam and Eve 'contemplated the knowledge of good and evil (ie. ate of the forbidden fruit).

The mental field where all this occurs (in us all) is like a screen which is both filled and lit-up with blissful silent Awareness, by the Prince of Peace which is Christ and is completely permeated or anointed by God's Sublime and Holy Spirit of Intelligence.

That All Peaceful and Pervasive Consciousness which transcends (passeth all) understanding and its formal representations in creation (in me), is none other than our Lord the Patient Support and Rock.

Pure Awareness is God's Own Image in which man has been created. When that Purity is infused with His Holy Spirit, God the Son is resurrected to draw sincere devotees and seekers of His Father from the deception of duality in the world to the unity of One Love and Truth (Bliss) which God Himself is.

The blind man who sat and waited patiently for Jesus to return to his town while the noise of other people was heard all around him, tells us how to focus and wait on the Name of the Lord in our own inner darkness ie. by disregarding the provocation's of thoughts, sensations and feelings all around us.

When the Lord's Presence finally came and was passing by the blind man, he stopped Jesus by shouting out His Name with all that was in him, in complete desperation, until he was heard. Similarly, Jacob wrestled with the angel all night and would not let him go until he received his blessing.

Through faith, truth, love and perseverance, hold on with all that is within you, to your inheritance that is the Lord!

There are many opinions around of exactly when the Lord will rescue His faithful. Many believe that this will occur during the first three and a half years of the tribulation while others say it will occur during the last three and a half years. Many believe that the rapture will be just before God's wrath is poured on the world.

Scripture tells us that God's wrath (which becomes translated as a extreme form of tribulation on evil men) is not meant for those that love Him. (see 2 Thessalonians 1:6) To see this fact played-out in Scripture and am in complete agreement with Benny Hinn in this regard in directing you back to the days of the captivity of the Jews in Egypt.

When all the different plagues came upon Pharaoh, Egypt and his people, the Jews were spared from all of them. Their animals were not even affected, however because they were there to witness those awesome happenings, they strengthened their faith thereby.

Similarly, the angel that was sent to destroy Sodom could not do so until Lot had left that city.

Luke 17:34-36 (see below) would also support this view.

These types of historical events in the Bible tells us plainly that our loving God will always protect His children for He does not change! He is the same today as He was yesterday and He will remain the same for evermore.

The Bible also warns unbelievers by telling them that there will be a time when they will look for righteous or wise men and not be able to find any. Two may be working in a field, one will be taken and the other not; others may even be sharing the same bed and all of a sudden at the twinkling of an eye, one is translated into the heavens. It is clear to me that Lord Jesus will raptured His faithful up into His glorious Presence at that time.

Whether we remain on earth under His protection until the 'last trumpet call' or are caught-up in a rapture to be with Him in the heavens before then, I cannot truly say because His children are to be mightily empowered in the last days. However, Lord Jesus cautions us to remain on the alert and not be given to things of the world wherein we can loose ourselves, for we do not know when He will return.

Therefore, if you are merciful continue developing that mercy towards others that has been given to you; if you are pure continue developing that purity until you are holy as He is holy; if you are wise continue developing that gift etc. etc. - for those who have, more will be given to them whereas those who have not, will loose even the little that remains to them!

Above all promote the development of an all consuming (selfless) love for your Lord and God and He may even manifest Himself to you sooner.

John 14:21 tells us (in NKJV) - Jesus said "He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves will be loved by MY Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him"

Devoted believers will be consumed by God's Love whereas all evil, will be consumed by the fire of His wrath:
