EXERCISING AUTHORITY IN YOUR FAMILY.
God didn't intend for the devil to dominate our families.
When our children were small and the devil would try to put sickness on them, I would get mad at the devil and tell him to take his hands off my children. I would tell him, "I'm ruling over my domain. You're not ruling in this household; I am through Jesus Christ." I put him on the run, and he ran.
You can put him on the run, too.

Years ago I was preaching in the North, and I was awakened in the middleof the night. Somehow I knew in my spirit that somebody was in physical danger, and I began to pray in tongues.
I asked the Lord what was wrong, and He showed me it had to do with my older brother. I knew his life was in danger. I continued praying quietly in tongues for about an hour and a half. My praying didn't disturb my wife, who was asleep in bed beside me. Finally I had a note of victory, and I began to sing very quietly in other tongues. Then I went back to sleep.
Two days later my sister called me from Texas. She was crying and almost in hysterics. "Dub's been in an accident, and he's broken his back," she cried. "He's in terrible shape. He's in Kansas. The doctors don't know whether he'll live or not."
"Wait a minute," I said. "Quiet down. He's not as bad as they think. If he was, God's already touched him, because I prayed about that two nights ago, and I've already got the answer."
"Have you?"
"Yes, I have. Don't bother a bit about it. He's all right."
Two days later she called again. She had checked on his condition and had found that Dub had walked out of the hospital with his back in a cast. He hadn't died, like the doctors had predicted, and he wasn't paralyzed.
He came to our home in Garland, Texas, and was very despondent and depressed, because his wife had left him and had taken the children while he was gone. I was preaching in my home church that Sunday morning and I tried to get him to go with us, but he wouldn't. He was a baby Christian, just barely saved.

Right in the middle of my sermon, I suddenly had a vision. I had my eyes wide open, but out in front of me I saw my brother in the city park. I heard him say to himself, Well, I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to kill her and then I'II kill myself.
I stopped dead still and said, "Wait a minute. I've got a little matter I've got to take care of here. Then I'll get back to my sermon."
I spoke to that devil that was tormenting him: "Devil, you stop that right now! I adjure you in the Name of Jesus Christ to leave that man" (the congregation didn't know who I was talking about, but the devil did). That's all I said. Then I went back to my sermon.
When we got home, my brother was at the house, and he was obviously in good spirits. He said he had walked to the park and had decided to take matters into his own hands. I told him, "Well, I knew that," and I told him
what I had seen.
He said, "Something came over me suddenly, and it was like something lifted up from me. It was as if a cloud lifted from me, and I came back to the house whistling and singing."
Dub didn't know how to touch the Lord for himself because he was just a baby Christian.

Sometimes those of us who are older in the Lord have to help baby Christians, and thank God we can. The time will come in their
lives, however, when they will have to know how to do some things for themselves. We won't be able to act for them then.

Kenneth E Hagin ( Authority Of The Believer)
- Spiritual Notes

08/08/2026

I have had this page for a long time. I first set it up to have my spiritually themed writings in its Notes section but somewhere during the lockdown years, possibly in October 2020, the Notes were closed down and I thought for a while whether to keep the account or not, but glad I did.

This is a shared X post from a pastor with an African name but he may not live in Africa. The heritage does not matter at all. What matters is that this man is intimately aware of the dealings of God and knows the fellowship of His Holy Spirit. So, his writings have been speaking and ministering life to me.

{Now I mentioned his African name and potential heritage with a reason. Lately, a woman apostle called Kathryn Krick has come under a lot of public bombardment via social media. Some suppose that it is because of her spiritual father who is all the way from the African continent. Thankfully, Kathryn Krick keeps herself busy with what God has put into her heart to do, and very possibly does not bother to read any of the backlash.

There are the ones who go and do, and then there are some who prefer to be seated at the sidelines and practice a spectator sport like approach, as critics. Some have downright made their ministry all about the above, finding fault and pointing at possible shortcomings.

I first found out about Kathryn Krick when my daughter's friend and our first Southampton church mate told us about her, for she wanted to attend her meeting in London. We looked into her and her ministry, and while it was OK, I would have preferred possibly a lesser focus on deliverance. Deliverance is a very legitimate concept and truth to be told, it happens at her meetings. Some have been disturbed by the physical manifestations, but also this is biblical and we can see the references to such in the New Testament. Some preachers have been issuing warnigs solely for she is a woman who ministers, some have bashed her, putting her into the same pot with Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and other known ministers whom God has been using with the demonstration of His power which they find suspicious [just because of their own suspicious mindset and gaps of teaching which might find most of the supernatural as potentially suspicious].

Just because some people have assumed a label of a "discernment ministry" does not make them specialists in discerning the spirits. I have seen even some more or less recognised ministers hopping on this bandwagon. If I were in their shoes, I would seek God and think before blurting out such public statements for their followers. Some have asserted that "this woman's ministry has no healings or salvations" which is clearly untrue to begin with.....

Matthew 12:22-32
English Standard Version
Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit
22 Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the man spoke and saw. 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, “Can this be the Son of David?” 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.” 25 Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. 26 And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house. 30 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.

I personally might have not attended her meeting with our former church mate, but that does not mean as if I would have assumed a stand against her person or ministry. The sick are healed, the bound have gained their freedom, the gospel is being preached with the signs and wonders following the preaching of the Word, what is there to find fault about....apart from a wish to nitpick and assume a stand as if women were supposed to keep quiet and find the ultimate goal and mission of their life as childbearers who seek to submit to their husbands. Well, this is a rather reductionist viewpoint and sadly, some circles tend to stick to such pattern of thought which speaks more of their teaching than the ministry of the said Kathryn Krick.}

Mark 9:38-41
New International Version
Whoever Is Not Against Us Is for Us
38 “Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.”

39 “Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “For no one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me, 40 for whoever is not against us is for us. 41 Truly I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to the Messiah will certainly not lose their reward.

---------------------------- [and this is my promised shared post from a pastor with an African sounding name - he knows God and His Holy Spirit and this is all what matters to me - we do not need to be famous in the eyes of the people, all it takes is for us to know God, and for Him to know us]

Strength For Today!

There comes a moment when faith means putting down what you have been trying so hard to carry. You cannot control every outcome, answer every question, fix every person, or solve every problem at once. The more you try to control what belongs in God’s hands, the more exhausted your soul becomes.

Learn the difference between responsibility and control. Do what God has given you to do, but stop carrying the responsibility for what only He can accomplish.

You may not know how everything will work out, but God does. You may not see the way forward, but God sees the entire road. You may not have the strength for tomorrow, but tomorrow has not arrived, and when it does, God’s grace will be there.

So stop allowing your mind to become a battlefield every night. Stop rehearsing worst-case scenarios. Stop borrowing trouble from tomorrow. Pray about it, surrender it, and trust God with the outcome.

Don't allow ministry to replace intimacy.

Consistency is the key. We might want things to happen overnight, but the promises are obtained by faith and patience.

A friend had a need to study German. I offered him a silent partnership in the Duolingo app where I pay for the family plan. He did not take up the offer. When two months after his initial reply had passed, I withdrew the offer. He had already registered to the actual language course.

He did not take up the offer for he was busy with work. Well understood.

But the thing is that a language is not learned overnight. It takes consistency. Small daily doses. Regular attention.

I have been similarly minded in my own approach to bodybuilding. There have been surges of intense workouts, and then there has been a hiatus. And then I take it up again, and lt go again, after an intensified season coupled with fasting on a long-term Almased plan. But something always happens to derail my efforts. Also here, consistency is the key, similar to language learning. Small doses. But at regular intervals. Babysteps, if need be. But never letting go.

Constant movement, instead of choosing to build a camp for a more permanent dwelling at some point. Stumbling, taking a wrong step, but getting up, and continuing the motion. This is how we progress in life.

A Swedish preacher Karl Gustav Severin taught in one of his teaching tapes which I received from someone in their church circle about the three-fold being of a believer. It is not enough to just invest in our spiritual part. It is vital that we do it, of course. But if we neglect our soul and body, we are heading for a future shipwreck.

He used the analogy of a vessel at sea. When the load is unequally positioned, and the storms come, the vessel is at risk of capsizing. Hence, it takes attention to all three parts of our being. Spirit, soul, and body.

When our body is not fit, or is downright ailing, it places limitations to how far we can actually physically go. So, it is paramount to take the time to see to it that it is well-fed, and cared for. It takes exercise to grow a muscle. And it takes regular attention. A muscle is not grown overnight.

Movement and life go together.

And then there is our human soul which needs the attention. There has been an idea that our soul is something second rate, just for we have learned that a strong spirit can keep our soul in its place. But our soul needs our attention as well. There are too many around us with mental health crises, and they have clearly not taken their time to cater to the needs of their soul. Too much depression, and yes, even prophet Elijah fell into deep despair. It is human to feel things, and emotions are God given too. But we are called to walk according to the spirit, and this happens when our spirit is strong - a strong spirit keeps the human soul in its rightful position, where it does not have the ability to keep us anchored to a negative mindset.

Yet, it is human to allow our soul its due. It is human to feel and think and enjoy the small pleasures of life. We may want to be found in some Superman-like mindset, but the fact remains that we have a soul with a reason. God has made it that we enjoy life, and feel deeply, and have the ability for compassion and empathy - this is not wokeness. Jesus was moved at the sight of the human frailty and the compassion moved him in his earthly days into action which resulted in miracles of healings.

God has made us in His image - as three-part beings. We are a spirit, and we have a soul which is encapsulated in our body. He set Adam into a garden, to cultivate it and take good care of it, and the same applies to us. There are things which He does, and then there are things which are our responsibility. It is our responsibility to take good care of ourselves, and be in good health, as our soul prospers.

3 John 1:2 ► King James Bible
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Jesus Christ has won a victory over darkness. He left His authority to His Church - to the saints of God [you and I]. He does not need it in Heaven. But we need it here, on Earth. For there are no dark powers in Heaven [where Jesus is seated at the right Hand of the Father]. But there are demonic powers in the second heaven and on Earth.

So, we have the authority and we are expected to do something with it.

When the dark forces release an attack against us [our mind is the battlefield], we can withstand. We can oppose the attacks of the devil in the Name of Jesus. We are [spiritually seated IN Jesus] high above every principality and power and might and dominion. Ephesians 1:21-23

But we can use what Jesus gave us when we know that we have it.
In order to know it, we have to learn to get to know His Word and His Person [His Holy Spirit or the Third Person of the Godhead who resides in us today and connects us with the Heart of the Father]. 1 Corinthians 2:11

So, when we know the above, we know that we have it, and we should put it to a good use.

A lady who is a friend of a friend had a religious upbringing. She has been constantly tossed and turned by the dark powers. Unsure where she stands with God [there has been limited connection] but thankfully she clocks in for prayer every now and then, as she has understood that it helps her case.

It is good if we have someone to pray for us. But often it is not the case, and by the end of the day we should be aware of our spiritual position in Christ [provided we have knowingly accepted His work on the Cross], and our spiritual equipment [or armour]. The attacks against our soul will be always there, and we should know how to stand against them, and remain standing. Ephesians 6:12.

When the circumstances arise, we can understand what is going on and take respective action. There is no need to war against the dark powers constantly. We are IN Jesus, and He is far above all demonic entities who are spiritually positioned under our feet. We are like the builders in Nehemiah, the weapon in one hand, while building with the other hand. We are focused on building, and advancing the Kingdom of God on the Earth.

We release Heaven on Earth by having our eyes on God. By keeping Him as our central focus. By releasing His sound via worship, and declarations of His promises. We are here, on Earth, similar to the Israelites who were led to take the land in the wilderness. We walk with His Holy Spirit, and with the heavenly hosts or ministering angels who have been dispatched to help us advance His Kingdom.

We set the captives free. And we help them stay free and stand on their own, and do all the things we have learned to do. We make the disciples by teaching and training and equipping and empowering. And then they go and do the same. This is how the Kingdom of God advances.

I had a minor medical emergency. Minor in nature, but nevertheless concerning. About two weeks ago, in mid-July, I found a piece of a formerly attached dental onlay in my mouth when biting a tiny fancy [soft] chocolate egg from the Richmond high street shop. There was nothing particularly hard to bite. It just came off.

I had to wait for my chance to see a dentist. On the day of the appointment, when I was just about to head out, I eceived a message. The message stated that their Internet was down and the appointment had been postponed. I took the steps to get a new time slot, but the following day a similar thing happened. Right before heading out, there was a missed call. But there was no cancellation message. So, I wondered. There was no time to both call the practice back, and make it there on time. So, I went all the way to the dental practice, to find out that my call had been received by their central administration, and my planned appointment with another dentist was no longer valid.

Thankfully, my dentist could squeeze me in and give me 20 minutes of her time yesterday. It came out that my carefully preserved onlay was good to go, and all she had to do was to reatach it by medical glue which cost me a minimal sum. So, eventually, after two plus weeks of minor nightmares over the situation and potential cost, all it took was to glue it back, and voila. Crisis averted.

Now, in the meantime, I stood on the Word of God which says that God fills my mouth with good things. [Psalm 103:5]

I have seen a supernatural golden filling in the mouth of my former Southampton mission pastor Toni. Also, God had performed a supernatural dental surgery by melting a metal in my tooth at Randy Clark's ministry day at the Wi******er Winvin church. But this time He used my dentist to do the job. A minor thing but so glad to have it done, as it managed to cause its fair share of a proverbial headache.

Reconstructive miracles are more exceptional but we can still stand on the Word of God, trusting God for a supernatural intervention. And whichever way it gets done, is eventually good. There are giftS of healing. It means that Holy Spirit uses some people in certain areas of healing miracles. And then there is a golden way which has a hundred per cent success rate. When we learn to stand on the Word of God, putting our trust in it and in the faithfulness of the Person who has given these promises. God who cannot lie, is true to His promises. The Word which has issued from Him does not return void. Similar to a natural seed, it will manifest whatever it speaks about.

I have heard several human ideas which try to define faith. There have been inspirational acronyms and similar ideas which can sound inspirational but do not benefit the believer in more than some motivational way.

Our faith is directed IN God.
It is directed in the Person behind the promises.
He does not lie. So, we can rely on His Word, and accept it as something true.

This is how we stand on the written promises found in the Word of God, pertaining to our personal circumstances, and God who cannot lie, will bring His Words to pass. Similar to the Creation in the Genesis God spoke, and His Word became manifest. We have been made in the image of God [who is a Spirit and who has recreated us from a spiritual perspective]. We have the same innate ability to speak His Words and see them manifested.

Faith is not future oriented. Faith IN God relies on the work of Jesus which is a done deal. We have been healed by His stripes. He carried all our sicknesses and diseases on the Cross when all curse was put upon Him and nailed with Him to the Cross. He has already done all He is going to do about the sickness by dealing with the source of it.

Now it is up to us to learn to use His Word, and step on it, and hold on to it. This happens via us learning to align the words of our mouth with His written promises, found in His Word. There is a natural situation which speaks one thing - of illness and disease.

But the truth, the ultimate truth lies in the fact that Jesus Christ has paid for the sickness, and via Him we can receive our healing. He has redeemed us from under the curse of the Law and this means that we can boldly approach Him, getting hold of our healing which He has purchased us via His sacrifice. Healing belongs to us as children of God. Jesus went around the earth, healing all who came to him with their healing needs. Today, we - His disciples - have been called to walk in His footsteps, laying our hands on the sick and seeing them recover. For this is what His Word says.

Mark 16:17-18
New King James Version
17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

The more we do it, the more healing miracles we can see.

And, we can obtain our own healing by taking the promises from the Word of God, aligning the words of our testimony with what His Word says about it, and holding on until we see His Word "become flesh"[or, made manifest] in us.
