The PROCESS of salvation.

Scriptures: Luke 1v71+74-75( NKJV)
Obadiah 1v17.(AMPC)

1. v71: we should be SAVED ( salvation) from our enemies.
74: Be DELIVERED from the hand of our enemies...
to SERVE Him without fear
75: Serve in HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS ALL the days of our lives.

2 Obadiah 1v17.
In Jerusalem/ Mt Zion shall be DELIVERANCE... then HOLINESS...then POSSESSION of INHERITANCE

In a nutshell:
People should be SAVED(salvation), then get DELIVERANCE ,so as to be able to SERVE God without fear/ guilt, in HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS, all the days of their lives.

It is then ( after deliverance) that they will be able to possess their God given INHERITANCE( their purpose).

New Living Translation Matthew 6:6
"But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you."
When we pray,we often go to our prayer closets and we shut the door as per the above scripture. This is to ensure that we are alone with the Father,and we give Him ALL our attention. BUT.We take our cellphones with, and we close the door.
Have you noticed that when you are deep in prayer,the phone WILL ring,or there will be a notification for a message? We often pause and tell the person on the other side we are praying and we will revert... but we are in direct violation of the scripture!
When you do not switch yo phone off, it means you are getting into the closet with all the contacts on your phone, and the devil will ensure that someone calls you.
So you do not only disturb the flow of your communication with your Heavenly Father- (thus asking Him to pause whilst you are telling the person you will come back), you are in direct violation of what He has said we must do .. shut the door behind you to make sure He has your undivided attention!
This is being disobedient to Him. And it is also disrespectful.

If anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation - (something that has not yet been seen ,previously unknown, totally unusual, unexpected and exhibiting the outrageously miraculous.)
The old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!
2 Corinthians 5v17

STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART OF GOD 1 :15/08/23.
Scripture reference-Genesis 22v1-8.

*When God asked Abraham to go and sacrifice Isaac in Genesis 22 ,He was testing mankind to see if He had created a worthy entity that He could get into a blood covenant with.
*He had to test Abraham...to see if He could trust mankind with His own son later. Mankind had to demonstrate that kind of loyalty to God. Remember, the first man God begat...Adam, had betrayed Him and handed his authority to the devil. And so Abraham 's LOYALTY, FAITH AND OBEDIENCE had to be tested thoroughly.
* In verse 8 ,Abraham said ' God will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering'. Here the prophet had to prophesy the imminent birth of Jesus (God does nothing except He tell His prophets first).It was definitely the Holy Spirit talking through Abraham.
* We see also that in John 1verses 29 + 36,John the Baptist refers to Jesus as ' the lamb of God
* And God saw that mankind could indeed be trusted: so loyal and obedient to Him that he was prepared to to kill/sacrifice the only son he had,who was his only heir of promise,from whom every promise and covenant of God would flow. Abraham was prepared to kill his son for his love and loyalty to God.
*And Jesus, the real Lamb of God was provided by God to save mankind...because of Abraham s loyalty,faith and obedience to God!!

In these last days before Jesus comes back for His chosen people, He is doing a new thing.He is creating it now, so no one knows what He is creating. (Isaiah 48v6-7..NKJV).
He is a Spirit in Heaven, and needs warm bodies here on earth to carry out His plans.
Are you available???

KEY SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES THAT ARE CRUCIAL FOR THESE END TIMES.

The Lord is coming back soon for His church..and He wants a spotless church. Our mandate is to go out into the whole world and proclaim the Good News to everyone, followed by signs and wonders( Mark 16v15-19).

Let us take a deliberate decision to work with Him. The Holy Spirit is inside of us..and He WANTS to work. We are supposed to partner with Him against the evil that is reigning. He cant work without us..and we are not able to demonstrate His power without Him.

There are 6 spiritual disciplines we should commit to..if we want to walk in the supernatural and be ready for the Lord s coming and be conduits for His Spirit.

1. Live a FASTED life. Dont fast once..but rather live a fasted life. The food we eat defiles the body and dulls our ability to hear from God.( Daniel 1v8-12) An example would be to fast daily from 6am-12 noon...and eat afterwards. Or make a decision to stop indulging on cakes and chocolates,etc? Holy Spirit will guide you.

2. Pray in the Spirit for at least an hour a day.
((Jude 1v20).Build your faith and inner strength

3. Read/Study the word of God DAILY. Remember the Word of God does a work in our inner man and the atmosphere around us. It is active, full of power,alive, operative, energising and operative( Hebrews 4v 12 AMPC)

4. Pray. With understanding..and with the spirit. At all times( 1Corinthians 14v15)

5. Be filled with the spirit...let Him lead you. Receive a fresh infilling for as many times as you want in a day. Sing to the Lord..make melodies in your heart to the Lord.( Ephesians 5v18-19).

6. Have communion DAILY. Speak life into yourself as you partake..it is your medicine.(Acts 2v46).

Try doing this for at least two weeks? And see where this will take you. And then adopt it as a LIFESTYLE.

Isaiah 55v1-2 says those who are hungry should come and drink!! Let us drink from the well that is inside of us...and be conduits for the Holy Spirit!

Children of God, again I say..DO NOT GIVE UP! DO NOT QUIT! The promise you have been waiting for is just about to take place! Things get extremely tough before one gets a breakthrough!! The devil ensures that he opresses and distracts you soo much that you give up and quit! This is because he knows what is on your table, and he does not want you to feast at the table laid for you!
The finances you have been believing God for...the child you have been praying for...the husband got has promised you are going to have..the marriage that just not improve...God is going to come through for you, in a way that you have never imagined!

Scripture is written so that we can draw parallels with those who walked before us in the Bible. For instance, in 1 Samuel 30v6, we see David in great trouble because for the 1st time, his own trusted soldiers wanted to kill him. They were bitter about losing their wives and kids, and blamed David!
This was a week before David was crowned King of Judah!! Had he given up and not sought comfort from the Lord..he would have lost his destiny!

Again in Exodus 5v9, God was just about to rescue His children from the heavy hand of the Egyptians. When Moses told them that their breakthrough was just about to happen.." they would not listen anymore, because they had become too discouraged by the increasing burden of their slavery!

So be made strong even in your weakness by lifting up your tired hands in prayer and worship. And strengthen your weak knees, for as you keep walking forward on God’s paths , all your stumbling ways will be divinely healed!
(Hebrews 12v12-13..Passion Translation)

Jesus said, in Luke 18v8 b.." but when I, the Son of man, return, will I really find faith on the earth?

Therefore, child of God..HAVE FAITH IN GOD!(Mark 11v22).

THE BREATH OF GOD AND OUR WORDS.

' And God said: " Let us make man in our image, after our likeness'...Genesis 1v26.
And the Lord formed a man 's body from the dust of the ground and breathed into it the breath of life. And the man became a living being. Genesis 2v7.

Man is a spirit, with a soul, living in a body.
In order for man to become a living being, God had to breath on him.This means man has the spirit/ breath of God.
Man therefore is created to speak words from the spirit, because man IS a spirit..the spirit of God!!

That is why Proverbs 18v21 says ' death and life are in the power of the tongue'.
The Passion Translation Proverbs 18:21 'Your words are so powerful that they will kill or give life, and the talkative person will reap the consequences.'

Let us remember that we are made in the image of God, and we have the breath of God.When God created, He SPOKE. He said
' Let there be light, and there was light'.
We have His spirit,and therefore we have words that create..words that come from our spirit..which is His spirit...the spirit that He breathed into us.

That is why Jesus says in John 6v63 ' It is the SPIRIT who gives LIFE; the FLESH profits nothing.The words that I speak to you are spirit and life'.

Words that come from the spirit give LIFE..and words that come from the FLESH bring death.
And that is also why in James 1v19 it is said ' let every man be swift to hear..slow to speak'.

This means we must think before we speak..and only speak words that bring life..from the spirit., and not words that bring death, from the flesh.

Lastly, let us please remember this:
The Passion Translation Matthew 12:36-37 "You can be sure of this: when the day of judgment comes, everyone will be held accountable for every careless word he has spoken. Your very words will be used as evidence against you, and your words will declare you either innocent or guilty.”

Let us therefore repent before God about EVERY IDLE WORD that we have spoken, and ask Holy Spirit to help us to use words the way God intended us to.

OUR DAILY NOURISHMENT.

John 15v5(a):
"I am the vine, you are the branches".
The sap of a tree is what keeps it alive.The main part of the tree- the stem( vine) contains the sap.
The branches get their nutrition(sap) from the vine.If the branch separates from the vine , it does not get its nourishment and consequently withers and dies.

Jesus Christ is the vine, and we are the branches.

Let us get our nourishment daily from Him.He is NOT sick.He is NOT broke.He is NOT oppressed by demons.
We are a member of His body.( 1Corinthians 6v15).

Lèt us draw our daily nourishment from Him and position ourselves to be victorious in our everyday lives🙏🎷🙏!

Shalom

WHY WE ARE SAVED/ BORN AGAIN.

INTRODUCTION.

Each individual is saved/ born again for a reason..to carry out God s plan/ purposes on earth.
And God starts the process before one is born.
Think of the numerous occassions He has saved you from trouble,even before you were saved.It is because His hand of protection is,and has always been on you because you have to play your part in order for His plan to be realised on earth.

HOW WE ARE SAVED.
'For it is by FREE GRACE that you are saved,through your faith.And this salvation is not of yourselves,but it is a gift of God.'
(Ephesians 2v8...Amp).

WHY WE ARE SAVED.
'For we are God s masterpiece,created anew in Christ Jesus,so that we can do the good things He planned for us long ago'.
(Ephesians 2v10...NLT)

OUR PART.
'Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.It is God who works in you,giving you the desire to obey Him and the power to do what pleases Him.
(Phillipians 2v12c and 13).
The Apostle Paul also says,in Phillipians 3v12(b) ' but I keep working towards that day when I will finally be all that Christ saved me for and wants me to be'.

And all this process started even one was born.'You saw me before I was born.Everyday of my life was recorded in your book.Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed'.(Psalm 139v16).

What,then,is the bottom line?
Each individual is born again for a reason...to carry out God s plan/ purposes on earth.
The question then becomes...Are you doing what God pre destined for your life? Or are you doing what YOU want to do on earth?

Search out what your purpose is.The Holy Spirit is within you to guide and lead you into the truth.He is our Teacher and Helper.
'But we know these things because God has revealed them to us by His Spirit,and His Spirit searches out everything,and shows us even God s deep secrets.'(1Corinthians 2v10).

In conclusion,I want to put it to you that since God has told us why He saves us,and has given a solution in His word about how we must position ourselves,are there no dire consequences for not walking in God s given plan,thus delaying His plan for the earth??
Food for thought.

Shalom

• God is a God of ORDER, a God of DETAIL.
• Whenever He instructs us to do something, He specifies detail for precision.
• He wants things to go PRECISELY as He has said.
• He does not want us to add or subtract from His instructions. That is why we cannot afford to be careless about detail.
• Eve did not pay attention to detail,and it cost the entire human race.
• Moses did not pay attention to detail,and it cost him his entry to the promised land.
• God sees NOT paying attention to detail as DISOBEDIENCE.
• He does not want or allow a mixture of things..because a mixture results in a product OUTSIDE His plan.
• Exodus 16v4 gives us insight into this. He tests us to see if we will carry out His instructions.
• We may be carrying a smelly provision with maggots because we kept manna overnight..(Exodus 16v20)...and then we wonder why its smelly and there are maggots.
• Let us pay attention to what God says we must do..and do it precisely as He has instructed. And we WILL enter into our God given destiny!
